this infinite world

This was not the first time that the Zhongzhou team had gone back in time, which was why Zheng Zha was able to instantly realize what he had just experienced.

"If I remember correctly, I didn't have any relevant memories before time went back last time."

Zheng Zha glanced at his companions around him, and after confirming that no one was missing, he scratched his head and asked in confusion: "But my memory is very clear this time... I'm not sure if it's because of my strength or something else. Did you forget anything?"

——The answer is yes.

Everyone remembers what happened, and no one has forgotten anything. This was confirmed after Chu Xuan asked the Conferred God List.

This is good news, but new questions arise immediately.

"There's no such thing as a time machine in this world... Could it be that Dr. Manhattan took action?"

Zheng Zha thought of only one possibility. Although Dr. Manhattan did not show similar abilities in the movie, given the characteristics of "quantum omnipotence", no one doubted whether he could do it.

“Maybe.” Chu Xuan did not comment: “But compared to the direct influence of Dr. Manhattan, our experience this time is more like a time reversal caused by the triggering of certain conditions.”

Chu Xuan pointed at the palm of Zheng Zha's hand and said, "The evidence is the badge in your hand."

"Yeah, why did this badge come back with us?"

Zheng Zha subconsciously stroked the badge in his hand, and the blood on it just stained the eyes of the smiling face, like red tears, making this ordinary-looking badge have a strange color. And he reacted at this time: "Is there something special about this badge?"

"There are indeed some strange places. I feel some extremely special elements from them."

Chu Xuan took the medal from Zheng Zha and looked at it carefully: "Just like there are no two identical spiritual lights in the world, and in this world where no superpowers exist, this badge has a direct connection with Dr. Manhattan."

When Zheng Zha's face lit up, Chu Xuan suddenly changed the subject: "However, it is not the triggering medium that causes time to go back... This phenomenon requires a huge amount of energy, and when you just picked up the badge, Zheng Zha, I didn't sense any energy flow."

Energy is the root, while time, space and matter are extensions.

Whether it is resurrection from the dead, time travel, or space movement, the creation of void things, which seems to be incredible miracles in the eyes of ordinary people, cannot be separated from the support of energy... and since Chu Xuan said that the badge of the Comedian has nothing to do with the travel back in time, Zheng Zha chose to believe his judgment.

"The trace elements on the badge should be left by Dr. Manhattan."

Chu Xuan stared at the small yellow badge, almost burying himself in it: "If there are more of this element, then I may be able to locate Dr. Manhattan's position with the help of the Nether Core and the List of Gods..."

"So, our next stop is the nearby police station to see if we can find any more clues on the Comedian's body."

"Is that so? That's fine..." There was nothing wrong with Chu Xuan's command, and Zheng Zha could not raise any objections. However, when he left the rooftop he stepped on for the second time, he could not help but look at the bell tower in the distance again, as if he wanted to engrave this familiar scenery on his retina...

——The disappearance of Rorschach, the inexplicable reversal of time, and the name in his mind...

——If the triggering condition for time travel has nothing to do with the Comedian’s badge, then what exactly is the so-called “condition”?

……

"... Zhang Jie disappeared."

Yang Yun blinked his eyes and found that the bus had stopped. He was outside the bus, watching Zheng Zha announce Zhang Jie's disappearance with a grim face: "No footprints, no smell, nothing... It's as if he had never appeared."

--what happened?
Unexpectedly, Yang Yun found that his reaction was a moment slower than usual. It was Zheng Zha's voice that awakened his consciousness, allowing the past memories and the events just now to converge in his mind again, allowing him to recall what he had just experienced.

At the moment when the Lord's protective shield disappeared, just like the plot at the beginning of the game, a little girl about ten years old appeared in front of the bus that the Zhongzhou team was riding on. It was Alessa, an important character in Silent Hill 1...

Although it was unknown why Zhang Jie and Zhan Lan, two psychics, did not find Alessa's trace in advance, Zheng Zha still used his feet to "physically brake" to avoid a direct collision between the two. But it was unknown what stimulated Zhang Jie, so he left a word and jumped out of the car door.

…Then, Zhang Jie disappeared into the thick fog, leaving no trace.

But how is this possible? In the current Zhongzhou team, apart from Zheng Zha and Yang Yun, who have completely suppressed their inner demons and are only one step away from the fourth-order intermediate, Zhang Jie is the third in combat power... and he just disappeared inexplicably?

"Damn it!"

Zhang Jie's disappearance made it difficult for Zheng Zha to maintain his composure. Driven by anger, he punched the mountain wall beside the road: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have braked, and I shouldn't have let Zhang Jie rush forward first. If I hadn't been so reckless... Damn it!"

Zheng Zha cursed again, and his fist hit the mountain wall fiercely. As his fist hit, the mountain wall shook slightly, and several small cracks spread silently with his fist as the center... If he hadn't barely retained a trace of rationality, this blow might have been enough to cause a landslide and completely bury this section of the road.

"Okay, Zheng Zha, this is not your fault. None of us expected this world to be so dangerous."

Seeing Chu Xuan beside him saying nothing, and even his expression did not change at all, he was just checking whether there were any traces left on the ground. Yang Yun had no choice but to walk up to him and pat Zheng Zha on the shoulder to comfort him: "And this is actually my fault. According to my reaction, I should have stopped Zhang Jie the first time..."

As he spoke, Yang Yun casually glanced at the mountain wall beside Zheng Zha and muttered...

——Is it that Zheng Zha’s subtle power has improved so much, or has he made another breakthrough recently and is now able to accurately control his power...

——If it were normal, even a slight blow would cause this hill to collapse and shatter, right? (End of this chapter)
