Players Please Get In the Car

"Now the clock on 17th Street is also running backwards. What does this mean?" Wang Ling said: "Are 6th Street and 18th Street in the same state? Is the city's time symmetrical?"

"It looks like this." Xu Huo nodded. Pumpkin City is symmetrical. Everyone knew this when they got the map. There are 23 streets from left to right. Except for the straight street 12 in the middle, the other streets They are all relative, 1 street corresponds to 23 streets.

The time after 9:17 pm was obviously chaotic, so they just looked both ways on 16th Street. The direction of the clocks was different. Although their timing tools were still moving normally, they were blurred due to the long time. In addition, without external assistance to help determine, they are not sure what time it is now. Moreover, in Pumpkin City after 9:17, the time seems to have no accurate way of saying it.

"Why do you want Meng Wenguang to go to 6th Street?" Tang Ming asked, "When we were on 17th Street, the clocks at 16 and 18 were in opposite directions. Isn't the location he should choose 7th Street? You saw the time law?"

"Actually, this rule is very simple." Xu Huo looked at the clock on 17th Street that had started to move backwards. "The clock running backwards represents the time in the past, and the clock running normally represents the time in the future. If we go to 19th Street now, the clock on 18th Street The clock still runs normally, which means we are ahead of time."

Tang Ming frowned, but Wang Ling had already reacted, "You are saying that the time on each street increases in sequence, and the time on the timing tool is accurate. It is now 10:36 pm, and the street clock has a time earlier than this point. Going backwards, the street clocks whose time is later than this point are normal, and we are exactly on the dividing line where the time is correct?”

“That’s right.” Xu Huo said.

"Then why do people over there see the correct direction of the clock?" Tang Ming said: "If the time increases, shouldn't it be unified?"

“I’m thinking about this too.” Xu Huo casually pulled out a map from the street and looked at the layout of the streets over and over again.

According to the current situation, after 9:17 pm, starting from 12th Street, every time they walk out one street, the time will be delayed by about 15 minutes, so when they walk from 12th Street to 13th Street, the time on 13th Street will be delayed by about 15 minutes. The time should be around 9:32 at night, and then it reaches 9:47 at 14th Street. By analogy to 18th Street, the clock on 17th Street just changed from forward to backward, because the time on 17th Street is stuck. It should be at 10:32.

 But this is very contrary to what they now understand about the power of time.

It is known that the time flow rate of partitions at different wormhole points is different, so it is understandable that some partition time is a little ahead, and some time is a little behind. If we understand it normally, it is actually that the time flow speed of 12 streets is slower, and the time flow speed of other streets is slightly slower. A little faster, and each street is faster than the other, so there is a contradiction here - the player itself does not jump in time.

If the time flow rate changes, when they cross the street, the timing tool should also sense the difference in time and make modifications. But now their timing tool still follows the time in District 011, which is also the time on Street 12 in Pumpkin City. Of course Well, his current judgment is based on the moving direction of the clock on the street. There is no exact comparison time. Maybe the time on the later streets is no different from the 12th street. It’s just that Pumpkin City wants the players to make such a judgment. phenomenon.

From the moment they realized the time problem of clocks and streets to now, players have not really felt the changes in time, but the gradual changes in streets and clocks truly remind players that there is indeed something different, or that Pumpkin City is reminding them. They don't, it's just that they don't realize it yet.

After passing the current time, the clocks on the left and right will move in different directions. However, if you are still on the previous street, the clocks will move in a normal direction. This means that different people see different content from different locations. Pumpkin City has this The distinction seems to mean that the time in different streets is really different... ˆ ˆ ˆ Xu Huo is a little confused. Different streets have different time distinctions, but the clocks on the street where the player is are running normally, and they are crossing There is no special feeling when walking on the street...

My thoughts suddenly paused here. There is no special feeling about the flow of time, and even the timing tools have not changed. It can give people the illusion that Pumpkin City is actually playing tricks, but the time here is definitely not normal. , because every time he crossed the street he felt an electric shock.

 But since time has changed, what has changed?

This does not seem to be simply a matter of different time flow rates...

 “What’s the gain?” Meng Wenguang has returned.

"One good news and one bad news." Wang Ling said: "The good news is that we roughly know that the time difference on each street is about fifteen minutes. The bad news is that this does not help our current situation."

Even if they know this situation, they don’t know what it means. They are even confused about what to do next and how to do it.

"Isn't this good news?" Meng Wenguang said: "If we walk two streets forward and then back, wouldn't we be able to travel through time and space?"

 Everyone was quite speechless and didn't even want to argue with him on this issue. Yue Rui said, "Brother Meng, that's not the case. It's the street that has the time difference, not the players. The time difference in different streets cannot affect us, and we can't affect the time difference."

At present, it is common knowledge among players that time flows differently in different spaces in the game world. Based on this basis, players have further recognition of time and space travel, that is, time will not flow backwards for the player, even if one person A year and a half has passed in a space where time flows quickly, but only a few days have passed in his original space. After returning, it does not mean that he has traveled through time and space, because the two time spaces are independent, and the player has passed through The time experience has not changed, so it seems to have returned to an earlier time, but the time is still later than the moment the player left the original partition, and time reversal cannot be achieved.

“Doesn’t Dr. Wu want to go back in time to prevent his wife and daughter from being killed?” Meng Wenguang was puzzled, “I don’t know if this is the solution to this space.”

"You just went back to before the incident happened, did you change the outcome?" Tang Ming asked, "You were walking back and forth on the street just now, did you go back in time?"
