Chapter 545 Abnormal Node
Abyss Research Institute.
The old dean in the medical cabin looked downcast and a little drowsy.
With his current physical condition, he was exhausted after tossing around for so long and forcing himself to attack once.
Shu Qizi always stayed by the old dean's side, paying attention to his condition at all times. If there was anything wrong, he would immediately put the old dean to sleep.
Waking up the old dean was also a big risk for the institute.
Suddenly.
The space in front of the medical cabin fluctuated.
The institute's highest intelligent system reacted quickly, and a piercing alarm sounded throughout the area.
Many complex weapons extended from the wall and instantly aimed at the location of the fluctuation.
This change shocked Shu Qizi.
He immediately wanted to "send" the old dean to a safe place, but he heard the old voice slowly saying, "Wait."
The old dean raised his head with great effort, and his drowsy look disappeared. Looking at the two figures walking out of the void in front of him, he said with a smile, "Finally they are here."
Shu Qizhi also saw the appearance of the person coming, and couldn't help but said, "Chu Ran, who are you trying to scare to death!"
"How can you do big things with such a small courage?"
Chu Ran replied, and then looked at the old man in the medical cabin: "You seem to be looking forward to me coming to you?"
Gurgle.
A few bubbles appeared in the medical cabin.
The old dean took off his oxygen mask on his own initiative, and his skin, which was like dried orange peel, began to flash with a deep light.
Without waiting for Shu Qizhi to stop him.
He had already reached out to touch the inner wall of the medical cabin.
Swish!
A sound of the air valve starting came, and the steaming heat wave spread to the surroundings. The liquid in the medical cabin quickly dropped down until it was completely invisible, and the cabin door slowly opened.
Then, the old dean fell forward as if he had no bones in his body, and fell to the ground with a plop.
Wet liquid spread from his body, and the tubes connected to his body were torn off, but liquid was still gushing out.
Shu Qizhi's eyes turned red when he saw this scene, and he quickly reached out to support him.
The old dean didn't know where he got the strength from, raised his arm and shook it gently: "Let me do it myself."
His voice was gentle, and you couldn't tell that he was already an old man in his twilight years.
Compared with his original voice, the almost 100% simulated synthetic voice was actually closer to his age.
Shu Qizhi hesitated for a moment and didn't move.
But Chu Ran didn't have so many concerns. He directly reached out and picked up the old dean, let him stand against the medical cabin, and patted the old man on the shoulder: "That's enough, there's really no need to pretend to be so weak."
From his perspective, the power of authority contained in the old dean is quite amazing. He had felt the "information" of this power before, but he couldn't interpret anything useful at that time.
Now with the decoding of the will of Blue Star, he finally knew what kind of power the old dean possessed.
So, he had to come this time.
"I really can't hide it from your eyes." The old dean who was exposed didn't feel embarrassed, but smiled and said: "But I'm not pretending. Can your eyes see that I have great power, but can't you see my essence?"
Chu Ran heard this and looked at it more carefully.
Only then did he realize that the old dean was hidden under the power information, which was worse than running out of oil and lamps.
If you have to say it.
He was like a completely broken glass product, his whole body was broken and shattered, and there was no good place to find.
If the power of authority had not forcibly "bonded" him together, he would have died.
Even so, he can still breathe now, which is a double miracle of the abyss and the blue star.
From a high-dimensional perspective, Chu Ran was a little shocked how he survived in this state.
"See more clearly, you can understand the consequences of having these powers but not being able to control them."
The old dean said softly: "You asked me why I was looking forward to you coming to me. In fact, the reason is very simple. I am tired. This power is torturing my soul all the time. Now that you are here, I can rest assured."
Without waiting for Chu Ran to speak.
Xie Ling on the side said: "Chu Ran, you don't think that the power of the old dean is your hope to kill Liang Jiangxing, right?"
"What's wrong?" Chu Ran did not refute for the first time, but asked: "The power on him is quite powerful. If I can get this power, it is estimated that it is no less than swallowing the original four false gods, and I can step into the level of the Abyss Lord in one step. Isn't it easy to deal with Liang Jiangxing?"
Xie Ling was slightly stunned.
Then he said: "In our timeline, although the power of the old dean is very strong, it is not so critical..."
"Wait a minute."
Xie Ling suddenly felt a little scalp numb, "In my timeline, I didn't see the old dean in person. As far as I know, you in the future didn't swallow his power. Is there something wrong?"
"In fact, you already have the answer in your heart."
Chu Ran said lightly: "The closed-loop space-time you created is already an absolute abnormal node. At the same time, there is Liang Jiangxing, an anomaly. What should have happened in the future was stopped by you. Everything here has long been unrecognizable."
"No."
Xie Ling denied: "The time-space paradox we created can only prevent things after that moment from being the same as the future, but it cannot change what has happened in the past."
"Changing the past to the present is an uncertain operation. Ning Chuan doesn't even dare to do it. If the old dean's fate changes, it will prove that there is an unnecessary step in our plan!"
Xie Ling felt his head was a little hot. He tried to follow this logic, but there were many things he couldn't explain.
Chu Ran shook his head and said directly: "If it is a normal timeline, there is definitely no way to affect the present by modifying the past. But don't forget that before modifying the many destinies of this timeline, there are still things you created closed loop."
Xie Ling's face turned pale instantly.
Chu Ran continued: "If space-time is a continuous line, any operation that attempts to modify its process will cause it to branch off, then the only prerequisite for manipulating it is to make this continuous line connected end to end. Only this circle is born, and the past, present, and future are connected into one. What happens from the starting point can change the middle and the end, and even what happens from the end can also affect the middle and the starting point."
"All this chaos will cover the original world and destiny in an instant. An abnormal node that disrupts the trajectory of destiny is far more terrifying than you and Ning Chuan imagined."
Having said this, Chu Ran paused for a moment, then looked at the old dean: "So if I'm not wrong, the power you always hold is also the power of the abyss."
Hear this.
Xie Ling's breathing stagnated momentarily.
