After listening to Long Yun’s narration, Su Xue did not speak, but sat next to Long Yun and thought quietly.

In the living room of the apartment with soft light, it seemed that only Long Yun's heavy breathing sound was left, and the nervous heartbeat he could sense in a trance.

“…Long Yun.”

I didn't know what to say, Long Yun didn't say anything, but just looked up at the little girl beside him.

"Frankly speaking, I was shocked when I heard the incident you just mentioned. However, as the so-called 'ons-eye clear', your emotions are now relatively stable. Let's try to analyze it, okay?"

Feeling that he had recovered his thinking ability, Long Yun nodded in response.

"Then, first of all, we need to confirm: whether it is the 'Manor Bullet' incident you just told me, or what we just discovered - uh, even if it is a 'historical twist', these two things have actually happened in the real world, right?" Speaking of this, Su Xue opened her eyes and looked at Long Yun with great care, "I won't talk about what happened just now. We both have experienced it. This is absolutely certain that it is not an illusion. As for the thing you said, are you sure it has happened?"

“Yes, it’s OK.”

Confirm that this matter was definitely not my fantasy, Long Yun answered her with certainty: "Ling was also present at the time; and I also put away the bullet and am still lying in the desk drawer of my room in the villa."

"Ah, that's it."

After obtaining Long Yun's confirmation, the little girl continued, "Then, this matter is confirmed to be true. There may be other explanations for the 'manor bullet'; but the 'historical distortion' we just saw just now can't find any convincing reason. Is that true?"

"Yeah, that's it."

Long Yun also felt this way, otherwise he would not have had his mood fluctuations like this.

"As for these two things, I personally think, I can't think of other possible explanations. So, can I assume as you said: it is because of your actions during the traveling time that affect the real world we are in? Although this sounds really incredible,... Could it be that the world you traveled to is not a 'parallel world', but the 'past' of our world?"

"Yes, will it be like this..."

Thinking of this, Long Yun shook his head blankly, he felt that this should be impossible.

The trajectory of "traveling through" and "reality" is too different from the operational trajectory of the two worlds: the Soviet Union, which had long disintegrated in reality, not only still existed in 1996, but also fought a world war with the West. This kind of thing has never been discovered in any historical record in reality.

No, that is definitely not the "past" of the real world, he is completely sure of this.

"No. I don't mean that."

Feeling Long Yun's consciousness activity, Su Xue waved her hand gently. "So, let me give you an example, will it be like this: our 'real world' and the 'parallel world' you crossed through are like two rivers of time that are unusually close but not parallel. Because they are similar to each other, they may have the same starting source, maybe?

Then, these two long rivers of time that have nothing to do with each other have a certain connection because of your travel. Whether it is your travel experience, the bullets shot into the trees, or even the "history twist" we just discovered, will it be like the undulating waves in a vast river that will occasionally splash into another river next to you? It is equivalent to an event that occurs in one of the worlds, which has had some impact on the parallel world."

Parallel world?

Two worlds that influence each other?

This idea has to be said to be quite novel, and Long Yun was really unresponsive for a moment.

Indeed, for ordinary people, the passage of time and the only world is like a universal truth that is unproven. To escape from the constraints of these concepts and suddenly understand the situation Su Xue described, he needs a little more assistance. Thinking of this, he first said his immature thought:

"Su Xue, what you mean is that what I have done in a parallel world will affect our real world, or the 'past' of the real world?"

When Long Yun said that, he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't think of what made him feel like this.

"No, I think... it's not that simple."

With a blink of an eye, Su Xue shook her head to the lover in front of her, and then she said the key, "In that 'parallel world', have you all participated in the world war between the East and the West? If you say so-"

“Ah—yes!”

This is the inconsistency! Long Yun suddenly remembered it.

Think about what he did in that inexplicable parallel world is not just "shooting a tree trunk" or "encountering Liudmira"? On an unprecedentedly fierce battlefield, those NATO fighters and pilots shot down by him, those air combat that changed the course due to his participation, not to mention other such things, will they be fulfilled in the real world, changing the "past" and present of this world?

Not to mention anything else, where are the wreckage of the fighter planes shot down by themselves and the bodies of the pilots? Will they still appear somewhere in the real world out of thin air? This is obviously nonsense.

but……

What if this is true?

Thinking of this, Long Yun suddenly felt a chill on his back. His thought at this time was that maybe what he had done in a parallel world had indeed changed the "past" of the real world, but... these changes were not obvious, and he had not noticed them yet.

"Long Yun, don't think like this. Let's think about it from a different perspective?"

Perhaps sensing the panic and confusion in Long Yun's heart, Su Xue spoke to remind him, "I think the theory of "Two Rivers" just now has some reference value. In other words, if there is no accident, these two worlds would have been peaceful; but now with a bridge like "you", the two worlds have the possibility of mutual influence.

Further, this influence is probably unilateral: At present, some of your actions during traveling through time will affect the history of the real world; but it may not be possible on the other hand. This is easy to understand, because you are obviously traveling forward. As time goes by, of course, actions in parallel worlds will affect the history of the real world, and then we observe it; or... or... "

The two of them had a similar vision and a mutual understanding of their hearts. Long Yun probably understood Su Xue’s guess while listening, and couldn’t help but be even more surprised.

This smart girl in ice and snow can actually think of so many things!

"Or, can we think that these two "parallel worlds" things have a certain probability of affecting each other; it's just that we used to be "in this mountain" and we didn't notice this impact at all. What do you think?

Now, because of your time travel, we have the conditions to verify the events of the two worlds, so we have the opportunity to discover this mutually influencing existence. Otherwise, if you and I are like other people in this world, then even if you and I see the warhead and the changes in the case of Lyudmira, will we just subconsciously think that 'thing is what it is,' without any doubts?"

Shocked by Su Xue's statement, Long Yun sat on the sofa in a daze. His mind was now in chaos.

The theory proposed by this little girl may sound a bit weird at first glance; but when you think about it carefully, it is not impossible.

——Your time travel is right in front of you. This kind of thing has happened. What else is impossible?

Following Su Xue's thinking, as Long Yun gradually clarified all the phenomena and details, a picture of the whole thing gradually came to his mind.

As for his current vision, the "real world" and the "parallel world" are originally two time lines that are parallel and not contradictory; they are each in a system, flowing forward at roughly the same running speed, and are completely isolated from each other. However, for some reasons, these two worlds will also "under certain circumstances" affect each other; this influence, whether large or small, cannot be discovered by observers in any world.

The so-called "it is impossible to be discovered by the observer" is actually easy to understand.

It’s like a person who wants to find that his parents have been dropped, he must have a memory like “who are your original parents” as the premise. If the mutual influence between different worlds is to change the “present” and “past” together, and the memories are changed, can this person still find such changes?

After thinking about this picture, Long Yun had a better understanding of the concept of "parallel world"; but at the same time, another question emerged: If this is true, why would he and Su Xue be "different" and retain their original memories, and accidentally discovered "historical distortion"?

Aren’t they part of this world?

Or is it because of his time travel, or because of their superpowers?

He couldn't understand this question at all, or he didn't even have a minimum concept, so he could only raise this question according to Su Xue's ideas:

"So...if this is true, why can't others, and we can detect the 'history twist'?"

Long Yun murmured and asked, this question was really obvious.
