Chapter 500 (Milestone): Return
Drifting in the mysterious house of time, in the hall, a scarlet portal suddenly opened.
The first thing to poke out of the portal was a black glove, and then slowly, Zhang Yi walked out of the portal.
‘Calibrate the connection between the time controller and the House of Mystery, save all the reports after I left, and summarize the supervisor’s action reports together. ’
(Okay, the data is being uploaded. You can view it at any time.)
Miss Time's voice appeared in Zhang Yi's mind, and the familiar voice made Zhang Yi's heart relax a lot.
Every time Zhang Yi traveled through time before, he was accompanied by Miss Time and other friends. After staying in the Black Robe Picket Universe for so long this time, Zhang Yi was not used to it for a while.
Now that he has finally returned to his own world, he can finally let go of his fear and vigilance.
I have to say that Zhang Yi still misses them a little after not communicating with Pietro and Carla for so long. Everyone followed him to the zombie universe before, and he doesn't know what they are doing now.
Looking around, the Mystery House was so quiet that it was a bit unnerving.
"Where are all the people?" Zhang Yi frowned and couldn't help but ask. "Have they not come back yet, Miss Time, how long have I been gone?"
After hearing Zhang Yi's question, Miss Time took the time to reply while sorting out the information.
(Judging from the data conversion here, you have been away for one year and three months.)
"How many!?"
Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows. Although he had doubts before, after all, the flow rate of time is different between universes. And because he went to the polluted upper universe, the concept of time is even more difficult to calculate.
But knowing that he had been gone for so long, Zhang Yi still felt a little complicated.
More than a year is neither long nor short. I have been away quietly for so long. I don’t know how the supervisors are doing or whether they have encountered any difficulties.
Sighing, Zhang Yi walked step by step in the hall, touching the back of the leather sofa with his palms, and murmured in his mouth.
"Ma'am, where are Pietro and Carla?"
[According to the latest updated action report, they are helping people in the wasteland build a space observation tower. With the equipment of the Zombie Hero Universe, their construction is progressing quite smoothly. 】
Miss Time suddenly jumped out and landed on Zhang Yi's shoulder.
[Phew, I haven’t been out for a walk for a long time. I’m almost bored to death watching those guys every day. Sir, do you know how painful it is for me to wait for you? 】
Glancing at Miss Time, Zhang Yi laughed dumbly. "You can pretend to be the artificial intelligence of the House of Mystery. As long as you don't show up, no one will know your true identity."
[Also, Mr. Fantastic and Stark have independently developed several artificial intelligences as soon as they returned here. Now there is almost no room for me to set foot in the entire House of Mystery, even the sweeping robots. Independent artificial intelligence! 】
Miss Time spoke angrily, looking very resentful.
"No way, are they so free?" Zhang Yi smiled and shook his head.
[Isn’t it idle? Stark has started to learn how to make wine. After he and Mr. Fantastic studied the time flow, they tried to create a device that can control the small time flow, so that they can drink for decades in one second. of aging wine. 】
"Well, why don't they just go to the prehistoric period of the wasteland universe, put down several bottles of wine, and then travel to thirty years later to take out the wine." Zhang Yi said curiously.
[I don’t know, maybe they are lazy, or they are scientists, and they don’t know what wine tastes like.]
Miss Time sat on Zhang Yi's shoulders, shaking her legs, looking a little lonely.
Seeing that something was wrong with Miss Time's mood, Zhang Yi pursed her lips and quickly changed the subject. "By the way, nothing happened to them after I left, right?"
[No, they carried back all the technology and equipment from the Zombie Universe according to the plan you made. I opened the portal for them, and they jumped back here from the Codename: Evil Force Universe. 】
"Nothing happened in the middle?" Zhang Yi asked again.
[Fortunately, they got together with the Winchester brothers, but they were quite sad because you were not there. 】
Speaking of this, Miss Time suddenly thought of something and spoke.
[Oh, yes, later I heard that some Leviathan escaped from Purgatory. 】
"Then what?" Zhang Yi became somewhat interested.
The Leviathans in the Evil Force universe are very strange monsters. They are difficult to kill. Their big mouth can swallow everything. Even angels are on their diet.
[Then Damian shouted what was the best family gathering and rushed forward. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and bring technological equipment back to the wasteland as soon as possible, Clark and everyone came back early, except for those from the Bat family. Stayed there. 】
"In that world, Batman does have the bonus of style. As long as the Creator God doesn't personally take action and Bruce Wayne is present, they won't capsize in the gutter." Zhang Yi nodded thoughtfully.
[The Creator God should have given up on that universe. Since the death of Lucifer and Michael, God's energy has never appeared there again. Bruce Wayne guessed that the other party did not want to interact with us. 】
"It's also possible that that guy really doesn't have much courage." Zhang Yi asked again after a pause. "Well besides these, is there anything else?"
【Something else? 】
Miss Time looked at Zhang Yi with some confusion, frowned and said.
[There should be nothing worth noting. The people of the Bat family have long been back, and the regulators are also maintaining the stability of the wasteland universe. Now, in addition to the earth, other planets are slowly starting to rebuild.]
"I mean, the kind related to me," Zhang Yi coughed dryly and reminded in a low voice.
[Things related to you? 】
Miss Time tilted her head, then suddenly thought of something, and showed a teasing smile.
[I understand, sir, you want to ask, you disappeared without saying hello again, what do the supervisors, or Mr. Pietro and Ms. Carla, think of you, right? 】
"Ahem, yes. That's it." Zhang Ye smiled awkwardly.
I was in a hurry before leaving, so I didn't say hello to anyone. The only people who knew me were Tony Stark and the invisible woman Susan.
In fact, it's not that Zhang Yi doesn't want to tell others, but that this trip is about the source of pollution, and the dangers involved cannot be explained clearly in just one or two sentences. If other people knew that he was going to take risks again, they would definitely not agree. .
Take Pietro and Carla, for example. Whenever I tell them that I am going to find the source of pollution, these two people will definitely follow them, and they are the kind of people who can't get rid of them no matter what.
But only Zhang Yi knew that pollution was not that simple. Even if the two of them followed, they probably wouldn't be able to help. Instead, they would be a little helpless.
Facts have also proved that if you want to go to the polluted universe, you must possess it like Michael or Lucifer. This kind of skill is completely impossible for both the mutant Pietro and the Kryptonian Kara. of.
It was precisely because of this that Zhang Yi finally chose not to tell them and would explain it properly when he came back.
Now, I'm back
Looking up and down at Zhang Yi, who was a little embarrassed, Miss Time covered her mouth and laughed. When Zhang Yi couldn't bear her gaze, she spoke.
[Don’t worry, sir, they are not ignorant people. Now after experiencing the Zombie Hero Universe, everyone in the supervisors has realized the harm and seriousness of pollution, and they will not blame you for your decision. 】
"Really?" Zhang Yi crossed his arms.
[Of course, don’t you believe in the feelings between you and them? 】
Miss Time smiled slightly, and Zhang Yi couldn't help but laugh after listening to her words.
"Hey, actually it's me."
Zhang Yizheng was about to say something, but suddenly, his words paused. At the same time, Miss Time's figure disappeared instantly, and the entire hall returned to silence.
Zhang Yi frowned slightly and slowly turned his head.
In the shadow of the corner of the hall, a pair of pupils like light bulbs are emitting a faint starlight. If you look carefully, you can see the outline of a human body standing there.
Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at the thin bald man with a speechless expression on his face.
"Dude, although the House of Mystery is a space floating in the flow of time, that doesn't mean it doesn't have a door. Can't you knock on it?"
""Forgive me for being rude, Time Bard, the existence of an observer is not the same as the life form you understand. I exist wherever my eyes turn. ""
The observer said in a calm voice, just like Zhang Yi remembered.
"Yes, yes, but I hope your eyes will stay at the door of the House of Mystery next time. This will make it easier for you to raise your hand and knock on the door."
Zhang Yi said casually, not sure if he heard it, but he sat on the sofa.
"Wait a minute, you started calling me the Time Bard."
The observer raised his steps and walked out of the shadows, revealing his original appearance. Then he showed an imperceptible smile and spoke.
""Your name has now resounded throughout the observer community. Not only did you brilliantly crack the pollution in the zombie universe, you even personally stepped into the contaminated lair and came out intact. This is simply incredible. ""
Arriving in front of Zhang Yi, the observers stared at Zhang Yi with big eyes.
""Now, among the stars in the multiverse, every observer is praising your name. No, as soon as I felt your return, I rushed over. ""
Feeling the hot gaze, Zhang Yi felt a little uncomfortable all over his body.
If I remember correctly, the gazes of observers can be linked to each other, so doesn't it mean that there are countless "audiences" hidden behind these big eyes.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi hurriedly raised his hands, covering the observer's big eyes like lightbulbs with one hand.
"Okay, okay, come on down. If you have something to say, if nothing else, just leave as soon as possible. I'm still busy and I don't have time to accompany you on the live broadcast here."
