An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

"Wait a minute, what...what's the mess?"

Karak asked, scratching his head in astonishment.

The concept of "time and space" is not within the scope of what ordinary people can understand. Naturally, he cannot understand it, let alone understand its meaning.

Not only this strong man, but others were also confused...

But Malone knew it very well and explained:

"What she means is that time and space intersect. This shadow heart comes from a parallel world similar to a mirror image, such as existing people or things that happened,"

"What we have here will be the same over there."

As soon as he said this, he was immediately stared at by Gale in surprise and disbelief.
This explanation is quite sufficient.

After thinking for a moment, Weier's expression was hard to describe:

"...Mirror image? In other words...there is another "me" in another place?"

"Then the other party...is it me?"

Gale sighed, nodded and shook his head, and looked at the female version of Yingxin with solemn eyes:

"That man is not you, even in some ways, remember? The Githyanki claimed that 'Gael' was a man."

Raizel's words before, coupled with the appearance of the female version of Shadow Heart,

She boldly guessed that her "self" in another world had the opposite gender, and the same was true for the entire team!
At the same time, Asteron, who barely understood the general situation, looked at the paladin with a look of sudden realization and was surprised:

"Weren't you kidding me before? There really is some kind of mirror time and space, another me."

Ma Long had mentioned the concept of parallel worlds as early as the time in the Arcane Tower Under the Earth, but at the time she thought it was just a joke.

She didn't take it to heart at all, but now, it's obvious that she was wrong.

These words immediately caused everyone's attention to focus on the captain. After all, the word "before" attracted special attention.

Seeing everyone’s eyes full of doubts and curiosity,
Ma Long sighed helplessly and explained:
"To tell you the truth, I can see the silhouettes and movements of people in another world, but they are just blurry shadows,"

"And along the way, all the bizarre events we encountered were all influenced by them."

As soon as these words came out, many things had reasonable answers. The defense measures of the arcane tower were inexplicably destroyed, the strange cause of Zolnina's death, etc.
Another group of people took care of the work for them and just enjoyed the results.

The smart Gale just thought about it for a moment and figured out his thoughts:

"...Understood, if both parties happen to arrive at a certain place at the same time to do the same thing, their results will be fed back to us."

"That's it."

Hearing this, Ma Long nodded and replied in the affirmative:
"And we have also influenced each other. When I collected Proverbs mushrooms in the Dark Area, there was only one mushroom growing there, but I got two..."

Speaking of this matter, the one who has the most say is Ying Xin from another time and space.
When she heard this, she couldn't help but open her mouth and exclaimed:

"It turns out you were the one who was causing trouble! This evil thought has been lingering in my heart for a long time,"

"What you are about to get is gone in the blink of an eye."

In any case, Ma Long could be considered as stealing someone else's share. He kept scratching his head and laughing in the face of the accusations, full of apologies in his heart.

"By the way, who are you? Evil thoughts?"

After being surprised, Ying Xin noticed some clues at this moment. Everyone present counted them.
She "knows" them all, and despite the differences in appearance and gender, she can generally tell who is who, except for this paladin.

Hearing this, Ma Long shook his head and responded:

"My name is Ma Long." Harsin, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said:
"Evil thoughts? Who is it? Your captain? Ma Long is the leader of this team."

Everyone has heard this name once from Raizel's mouth. In parallel time and space, he still formed a team and embarked on the journey.
However, there are differences between the two teams.

Ying Xin nodded silently and couldn't help but ponder. Logically speaking, both sides should be the same...

Weir looked suspicious and asked:
"Gale, what's going on? Isn't there Malone on the other side?"

"...I don't know. I know very little about parallel time and space. Even the person who proposed this concept cannot prove that it actually exists."

Shrugging, Gale sighed helplessly.

Ask her about the various foreign planes surrounding Faerûn, and she can talk tirelessly about them.

After all, someone has been there and witnessed it with their own eyes.

However, parallel time and space is like the past a few minutes ago or the future an hour later. No one can meet and talk to their past or future selves!
Otherwise, it wouldn't be just a concept.

Then Karak looked anxious and quickly mentioned the key points:

"Everyone, I think the most important issue right now is nothing else. How to bring back the shadow heart we are familiar with! Where has he gone?"

Gale, who frowned slightly, answered uncertainly:

"If nothing else, it should be where the shadow heart originally was,"

"He left, she came, and the two sides replaced each other."

After the words fell, everyone looked at Ying Xin,
Yes, even if she has the same name, she does not belong to this time and space after all.
Not to mention a companion who shares life and death with everyone.

But the difficulty is that no one knows how to get the person back...

Being stared at by everyone, Ying Xin felt slightly uneasy. Although these guys in front of her were replicas of her teammates,
But it doesn't mean that the two parties are friends. It's good to remain friendly for the time being.

After thinking carefully for a long time, Gale touched his chin and said:
"Since Shadow Heart was replaced during the trial, then perhaps, by continuing to the next item, this disorder can be corrected."

Once this method was proposed, it was immediately unanimously recognized by everyone.

Although no one knew whether it would work or not, this was the only way before them.

"I hope your people will treat my partners well, otherwise I will never be lenient."

Karak shouldered the ax and stared straight down at Ying Xin, his sinister face was intimidating.

"Ahem! Be careful, Karak."

After coughing twice, Ma Long pretended to be displeased and scolded, then turned to Ying Xin with a smile:
"Sorry, he has a rather irritable temper, especially when the situation involves the safety of his partners. Please act with us next,"

"Continue to complete the entire trial of Shar and correct the mistakes as Gale said."

"I want my partner back, and you want it back, right?"

Compared with the strong man who speaks harsh words, his words and attitude are very kind, which makes the impression on others not bad. The female figure's heart is tense,
Gradually, under the paladin's gentle treatment strategy, he slowly relaxed.

Then Ying Xin nodded silently, and said to Karak with a complicated expression:

"You and her are really similar, equally hot, equally strong, equally... caring about the people around you, but you are not her after all."

"What does it look like? I just want the people who left to come back as soon as possible. It's that simple."

At this moment, Karak had a straight face and didn't care about anything else. The only thing he cared about was the return of the familiar person. (End of chapter)
