The establishment of the Time Travelers Alliance began in the first year of Conan

Chapter 179 Comrades! Write your suicide note first!
The dual timelines undoubtedly set up a dragnet.

These three days of non-existence are like them secretly making an extra move in the chess game when the opponent is away for some reason.

And the universe, the biased referee, is ready to finalize all of this with the dual timelines before the League, the chess player, returns to the chessboard.

Now even it has become impossible for the people on the cruise ship to contact the outside world——

"Still haven't contacted Evans and the others, Senna?"

"I'm sorry, Commander, we still haven't made contact. For some reason, many of our instruments are malfunctioning."

Senna's voice dropped, she lowered her head, not daring to look into Ye Wenjie's eyes.

Facing Senna, whose brows showed obvious worry, Ye Wenjie didn't say much. She just nodded to show that she understood.

Ye Wenjie could even hear her sobbing softly, and then the voice became strong.

"Commander! Let's fight those traitors! I'm not afraid of death!"

"Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Senna's voice made Ye Wenjie smile. She raised her head and glanced at the distant sky - the dark clouds were roaring and rushing towards where she was.

Finally, she just sighed and said, "Come down to the bottom floor later and tell the guards there that it was me who said that."

In the past, she had always had conflicting feelings about the child - she was idealistic and smart, but too impulsive.

Ye Wenjie originally planned to wait until she had experienced more things before recommending Senna to the alliance to become a member of the alliance, but now it seems that there is no time for all this.

"Time... Time, what can I say?"

For everyone aboard the Explorer, the atmosphere on board changed almost overnight.

Those who believed that Ye Wenjie had betrayed humanity and who had accidentally discovered the "truth" by "accident" started a riot on the tanker.

During these three days of non-existence, the reality was that "Science Frontiers" was an organization supported by extraterrestrial civilizations, which became the truth accidentally discovered by the "forgotten members" on the tanker.

Therefore, it is not surprising that these people, whose personalities were immediately reset as the "Gray Team", and who thought they were peaceful members whose goal was to eliminate nuclear weapons, defected the very night they were away from the radiation range of the "Loop Gate".

Even if they forget everything about the alliance, forget a lot of information and memories, it will be enough.

——Reality only needs to give way to the story a little here. This level of modification is too easy.

At the bottom of the tanker, an alliance member near the door immediately reported the current situation to Ye Wenjie.

"According to the data, an unusual thunderstorm is brewing almost directly behind our direction of travel. If we get in, the [Real Timeline] will definitely use this weather to attack us."

"Besides that, there's the issue of those traitors. Although we immediately destroyed all communication systems except for the lowest level after they sent the message requesting resupply to Hawaii, it was too late to destroy the power system."

Another fighter tapped the tablet in his hand, and a light curtain unfolded in front of everyone near the door, showing the current route of the ship.

"As for the other option," he paused, "that is, sacrificing those affected by the dual timelines. That is meaningless."

"Due to the second case, almost all of our ship's APTX-4869 reserves were taken away to ensure the ritual could proceed normally. Currently, the TDD that has sufficient time crystals is only barely enough for two people."

"That is, even if we kill all the traitors, we still can't take this ship away. Even if we only provide it to one person, the TDD's defenses are clearly not enough to handle the threat of a thunderstorm."

"What if we choose to do nothing?"

The voice that spoke came from Senna. In the meeting that lasted just over ten minutes, she had already roughly understood the situation that the commander and others were facing.

"If we follow the route you mentioned in the dual timeline, there must be an ambush ahead. In that case, we might as well give it a try."

"If we kill them, shut down the power system and let the ship drift with the waves, then we just need to wait for the support from the alliance behind you that the commander mentioned, right?"

The operator in question shook his head.

"Unless we kill all the traitors in an instant, they're likely to blow up the ship. As for shutting off the power system and letting the ship drift—"

"Luck is not on our side right now, and by doing this we will push the balance towards the [real timeline]."

Senna didn't know a lot. For example, this morning, when she and Ye Wenjie were negotiating with the traitors, Ye Wenjie had already analyzed that the dual timelines affecting the crew on the ship were not aligned. Just as Ye Wenjie had immediately figured out, they had lost contact with the outside world—the three completely still pointers on her TDD hand had already told them the most likely outcome.

"The hour, minute, and second hands are still moving, but the year, month, and day hands are not moving. This means that in terms of the league's real timeline, we are still theoretically in yesterday."

"Whatever the reason, the dual timelines have likely separated us into yesterday, meaning that no matter how much time has passed, it's likely only a moment outside."

"The Alliance must be trying to contact us. If the dual timeline wanted to quickly resolve the door issue, there would be no need for the [real timeline] to stage this mutiny. Thunderclouds can form behind our ship, they can also form in front of our ship, and they can even accurately strike the engine or any other key parts of the ship."

"Now it seems that the crew's mutiny was more likely caused by the [story timeline], and it was the [story timeline] trying to prolong time."

Ye Wenjie paused. She didn’t know when the alliance’s support would arrive, and it might even never come.

"But what we need most now is time."

Ye Wenjie's judgment that the two timelines are not consistent is very correct.

Although her judgment on the dual timeline was completely reversed.

Precisely this time, the thunderclouds gathering behind the ship were actually the work of the [story timeline], while the betrayal of the crew members was done by reality.

This is also the reason why the alliance members who immediately retreated to the door felt that the behavior of the dual timelines this time was a bit weird and "rough".

Both timelines used the other's field, which they were less proficient in, to try to influence reality.

There is no objection between the two timelines regarding the destruction of the [Gate of Loop].

However, [Real Timeline] hopes that GSSRA can use this opportunity to obtain some intelligence or technical information about the "Scientific Frontier", or more accurately, the "CYZ Alliance".

This is undoubtedly a good opportunity to strengthen GSSRA while trying to continue to complete its big plans.

For [Story Timeline] it's all the opposite.

It has even been trying to prevent reality from parsing the data in that computer, and doesn't even want GSSRA to show up in it.

As for the storyline, once under the watchful eye of Hattori Heiji, the GSSRA obtained any evidence of the lame "extraterrestrial interference" that was fabricated by reality.

There's absolutely every reason to believe that reality will immediately attempt to make the GSSRA an official organization that actually exists on the surface.

So the storyline is pretty much trying to instantly shatter the Explorer tanker with lightning.

However, because the two timelines each used technology based on the other's instincts, these somewhat strange scenes were ultimately caused.

The strange analysis results of the intelligence analysis department members, the admiral's attempt to keep everyone here, and Kudo Yusaku's sudden delay due to work...

Those strange thunderstorms that clearly showed the involvement of supernatural forces, the supply ships that refused to go out to sea no matter how much money was paid, and the use of communication systems to announce the routes of oil tankers but not to transmit information about the alliance...

Although the alliance members who stayed near the gate were not aware of what was happening inside GSSRA, just as Ye Wenjie had concluded from his observations, they noticed this subtle logical contradiction.

But what’s the point of discovering this problem?

A good cook cannot cook without rice. Ye Wenjie sighed. Without the time crystal to counter the influence of the dual timeline, they can't do anything now.

"No matter what, the door must be safe."

She turned her head to look at the alliance members behind her who were trying to use simple tools and materials to cover up the large door standing in the center - these people were trying to make a diving bell that could cover the [Gate of Circulation].

They hope to buy time by sinking the [Loop Gate] affected by the CYZ effect before reaching the trap set by the dual timeline.

But now it seems that it is too late.

So Ye Wenjie finally stopped their actions.

"Comrades, we'll probably arrive at Hawaii Harbor tomorrow. Let's write our suicide notes first!"

PS: These chapters are a bit difficult to understand. It’s due to the author’s poor writing skills. I apologize to everyone here.

But on the other hand, regarding the perspective of the timeline, it is really difficult for the author to write it clearly in one chapter. This is also related to the biggest highlight of the third case. If you find it difficult to read, you can read it for a while, or ask questions in the book review area or book club group. The author will answer them as soon as he sees them.
