【Zhou Ye】The Foot of Time

Chapter 89

After entering the council court, Zhou Zekai really got some news about Ye Xiu sporadically.

His lover has never been a law-abiding person. Ever since he was able to monitor all historical events in the parliament court, Zhou Zekai found that Ye Xiu's news could reach his ears without deliberately asking—although most The timing was not so clear-cut, but he could tell it with absolute certainty.

From time to time, he would hear that there was a time lord who was very nonsense and did not enlist in the army—obviously, Ye Xiu, who was driving a Tadis, had a very high probability of being mistaken for the Son of Time—who suddenly reached out to help when a planet was in disaster, and with his own How many enemy troops have been defeated by the power; or when the bees are migrating long distances in the universe, they put up the words "Look at me here" inexplicably; what is even more exaggerated is the task assigned by the Shadow Alliance Going to hunt down the interstellar pirates, only to find that those pirates have been packed up and tied up, and everyone is wearing a red scarf...

Except for Ye Xiu, Zhou Zekai really couldn't find anyone in the universe who could drive a Tardis like this... cough cough, what should I say?boring?

What's more, Su Mucheng and Huang Shaotian also entered the council court at the same time as him, and sometimes they would send Ye Xiu's "feat" to him without his mentioning.

Whenever he saw it, Zhou Zekai couldn't help laughing - he knew that the other party was greeting him in this way, telling himself that he was doing well.

Even if it takes hundreds or thousands of years to find the trace of each other's footprints, even though the two are separated by the farthest distance in the universe, when receiving news from each other, Zhou Zekai will feel that they have not gone far, and are still staying in the same place. Their happiest time was in the TARDIS where the two merged into one.

In the barren years, it was a great encouragement for Zhou Zekai to be able to get such a sliver of comfort occasionally.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the council chamber became more and more tense.Everyone knows that there are more and more cracks, and no matter how hard Garrifrey's soldiers try to repair them, they can't match the speed with which they are created and expanded.The wise men in gold-rimmed red robes who control the time lock and monitor the timeline day and night spend more and more time in meetings, trying to find a solution to the problem, but every time they end the meeting with a frown.And although the generals who entered the parliamentary court will not participate in the meetings of the wise men, they have been paying attention.

Everyone knows that when the number of cracks reaches a certain level, the collapse of the universe is inevitable, but no one knows where the critical value is.

"...the last Box of Time hasn't been opened yet." Su Mucheng frowned, "I think it should be reserved for the day when the universe ends."

"I hope..." Huang Shaotian sighed, "If it is opened before the day when the universe collapses, and it is an order to solve other things, then everyone should forget about it. No order means that there is really no The solution, let's all wait to die!" After that, he glanced at Zhou Zekai, "Why do I feel that you are not nervous at all?"

Of course Zhou Zekai wasn't nervous, he was probably the only one who knew exactly where things were going in the end.Although the increase in the cracks seemed terrifying, he knew well that when he attended that meeting, the universe collapsed from the future of that time point, so Ye Xiu must be prioritizing filling the cracks in the future, The impact they can feel now can only be said to be minimal.

But it was impossible for him to tell the two people in front of him about this kind of thing, so he could only shake his head and say, "It's useless to guess this. Open it, and you'll know."

They are all more than six thousand years old, and that day is really not far away.

His box, though, apparently takes a different view.

"It's still far away! I'll wait until all the flowers are gone!" It rolled in Zhou Zekai's arms and almost fell out, "There are still 1000 years, 1000 years! My partner and I have known each other for 1000 years How is the year!"

"6000 years have passed."

"This is two different things. You can't deny the length of itself just because 1000 years only account for one-seventh of 7000 years!"

Zhou Zekai thought about it and felt that this statement was very reasonable, but obviously for it, how much time is far has no value at all.Until the day when the meeting starts, 500 years is a long time, 100 years is a long time, and 1 minute a day a month is a long time. Every time I have a dream, I have to sigh and sigh, which is really annoying.

In the dream, his own box has been tormenting the question about the length of time, Zhou Zekai felt that he didn't use the box to smash the hourglass, and to some extent it was enough for true love.

On the day when the Box of Time was opened, the entire parliament court exploded because of the news that the universe was collapsing, but Zhou Zekai left his seat as if he had a premonition, and walked to the glass case where it was placed. .

In his gaze, the Box of Time opened.

There is no complicated opening process, it just makes an inaudible "click", and the lid is loosened, revealing a slit.Zhou Zekai opened the cabinet, took the Box of Time in his hands, and lifted the lid.

Inside was a stack of thick envelopes, each with the recipient's name written on it.Without counting, Zhou Zekai knew that there were fifty of them.There is no need to dismantle it, Zhou Zekai knows that there is an encrypted metal coordinate card inside.

He handed all the envelopes to the chairman of the council.

He saw the chairman of the council heaving a sigh of relief. The [-]-year-old elder obviously believed that there was a key to solving the problem.The owners of the fifty envelopes happened to be in the courtroom. After everyone opened the envelopes and saw the metal card inside, they all came to the conclusion that they should immediately follow the instructions and go to the target location.

"...It always feels a bit weird." Huang Shaotian said to Zhou Zekai before walking into Troubled Rain, "The instructions in the Box of Time were very clear before, but this is the first time that they were so unclear. I don't think it's that simple."

Huang Shaotian's judgment was correct.Having used this metal card, Zhou Zekai knew that the coordinates recorded in it were only half an hour after their current time node.At that time, all the people who were full of anticipation returned to the place where they left before, and almost fell into despair.

——With no one to guide, nor even a tip, they only have themselves to rely on, and can only start a hopeless meeting until an old TARDIS breaks in.

Zhou Zekai walked into his TARDIS in silence.

Instead of inserting the metal card into the card reader slot, he put it back into the white envelope.He ran his thumb over the golden pattern on it. It was his own name, exactly as it had been seen seven thousand five fifty six years ago.He came to the time point when he was promoted to a senior colonel, and handed the envelope to the wise man who had answered the answer for him, and asked the old man to pass it to his four-year-old self, and also told the other party his tower at that time. The location where the diss is parked.

"...It seems that you have found the answer." He happily took the envelope and tucked it into his wide sleeve, the wise man still had that loving smile on his face.

Watching the old wise man leave in a red and gold robe, Zhou Zekai did not choose to leave, but stood in front of the window and looked out.The orange sky in Gallifrey was still warm, and from here you could see rolling hills and flocks of birds flitting above the deep green woods.

He took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket, took out one, lit it, and held it between his fingers without smoking.One was burned out and another was added. In the white smoke that gradually diffused, he watched quietly for more than ten minutes, and finally waited for the singing, the singing of children.The children's voices were clear and bright, like a ray of light, which broke into the atrium without saying hello, making an ancient ballad re-grow fresh green shoots.

"Go on, child of my time. Hear us sing, the song of praise for you. The end of the road is the beginning of another. Fear not, all known and unknown. Go on, of my time Child. Don't stop, it's not time for you to rest. This is the lord, the longest tour. The vast universe is a gift to you..."

"Go on, child of my time..."

"The end of the road is the beginning of another..."

"The end of the road is the beginning of another..."

The wind blows towards his face, blowing away all the smell of smoke. Under the orange sunlight, Zhou Zekai slowly closed his eyes amidst the singing to the travelers who were about to go on the road.

--ended.
