Chapter 494 A Promise Across Time

this moment.

Lin Xian figured it out.

The core focus of reverse forced avoidance is not on forced avoidance, but on [reverse]!
The reverse is the most important thing.

Now in 1952, there is neither historical lock nor time and space rejection. According to Huang Que, forced avoidance is absolutely impossible in this era.

Lin Xian could also understand this.

The laws of time and space are like this, very rigorous, if you say it exists, it exists, and if you say it doesn’t exist, it doesn’t exist, and they are all interconnected; however... reverse forced avoidance is different, there are many things to consider for this phenomenon.

Before, Lin Xian had always been cautious and did not try anything rashly or think deeply about it.

But think about it now.

The reason why reverse forced avoidance can be effective lies in [entangled space-time particles] and [must return to the original era]. In other words... reverse forced avoidance itself is an independent space-time law, and has nothing to do with whether there is historical lock or space-time rejection in the current era, because -

[My own entangled state exists in the future space-time of 2234. This is the key to the effectiveness of reverse forced avoidance. ]

Therefore, the hook-nosed man in black pointed the gun at him, which triggered the forced avoidance and he collapsed to the ground with powerless body.

Lin Xian was all too familiar with this feeling of being out of control of his body.

He is definitely the person in the world who has experienced the most reverse forced avoidance times... After all, every space-time killer who used entangled space-time particles to travel through time and space before had targeted him.

After being defeated for so long,

Helpless for so long,

After such a long time,

This unreasonable, illogical, and invincible plug-in... finally it's my turn to be the "perpetrator"!

"Lin Xian, stop being in a daze. Look... that person has stood up."

CC was panicked, but her small body couldn't pull Lin Xian, so she just stood there anxiously.

Lin Xian turned his head.

Look at the gangster man lying on the ground.

Almost a minute passed before he stood up tremblingly with his hands on the ground, but it was easy to tell from his unstable posture that he was still completely powerless and would fall down at the slightest push, feeling extremely weak.

The man reached out his hand, wiped the blood from his nose, and wiped his face with his sleeve.

Then touch the sunglasses...

If the sunglasses are still there, it means that the person has not been completely humiliated, at least not his face.

He hurriedly bent down, picked up the revolver, and fled in a hurry.

……

that's it.

A farce ended.

A long queue formed in front of Nathan's hot dog stand again. The tourists who were scared away by the gun just now came back to buy hot dogs, chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened.

Lin Xian was convinced by this mentality.

If something like this happened in Longguo... no one would dare to continue playing in this amusement park, and it would be too little to close it off for ten days or half a month for investigation.

can only say.

In free America, everyone is used to this kind of thing.

Next to him, CC, who was born and raised in Brooklyn, lived up to expectations and breathed a sigh of relief, pulling Lin Xian to continue queuing:
"Great... He's gone. Come on, come on, let's hurry up and get in line. We were clearly at the front just now, but now someone has cut in line in front of us!"

Seeing this face-changing scene, Lin Xian was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

How much CC loves hot dogs...

It's like he would rather live than have hot dogs.

Hurry up and buy one for your child.

After waiting in line for more than half an hour, it was finally Lin Xian and CC's turn. During this time, CC stood on tiptoe and looked forward and right countless times, as restless as a rabbit.

"Two hot dogs."

Lin Xian said in English, and then looked at the price list next to him.

Shift.

He cursed silently.

The hot dog stands in downtown Brooklyn still sell them for 3 cents each, so why are they 5 cents each here?
As expected, the prices in tourist attractions and amusement parks are more expensive than normal prices.

According to the plan he had initially worked out on the bus.

I only had $1 left.

Admission to the amusement park is 50 cents per person.

So, it would be 3 cents per hot dog, for a total of 6 cents, which would leave 4 cents for the bus fare back to Brooklyn.

Now that this has happened, there is not enough money to take the bus back home.

but……

There was a bright galaxy twinkling in CC's eyes. Even if it was only 50 cents each, I had to buy it for her.

Forget it.

We’ll figure out the return trip later.

I hope there will be some stalls in the amusement park where you can win prizes by hitting balloons, so that he can use his old tricks to make some money from those naughty kids.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't.

Anyway, he had spent all his savings and there was no way he could continue sleeping in a hotel with CC; since they were sleeping in parks or under bridges...what was the difference between sleeping under a bridge in Brooklyn and sleeping under a bridge in Coney Island?

In short, let’s drink while we can.

Since I brought CC to Coney Island, I'll take her out for a day of fun and think about what happens next later; the biggest gain from coming here today is that I confirmed that the reverse forced avoidance is still in effect, which will make many things much simpler.

then.

Lin Xian pinched out the last 10-cent coin and placed it on the cash register at the stall.

The cashier girl with freckles on her face raised her head and looked at Lin Xian:

"Sir, don't you want a Coke combo? It's only 6 cents for an extra Coke."

"Need not."

Lin Xian shook his head and licked his dry and salty lips:
"Not thirsty."

……

"good to eat!"

CC sat on the bench, took a bite of the hot dog, and opened his eyes wide:

"Lin Xian, this is simply the most delicious food I have ever eaten!"

"It's really good."

Lin Xian also took a bite and praised it sincerely.

This is not flattery.

It's really delicious.

It seems that the reason why Coney Island hot dogs are so famous is that they are made with unique craftsmanship.

To put it simply, a hot dog is just a piece of long bread with a grilled sausage.

Lin Xian thought there was nothing worth looking forward to.

But this Nathan's hot dog still gave him a big surprise. It was indeed a taste he had never tasted before:
“This sausage is really authentic.”

Lin Xian began to comment:
“It’s much tastier than vegan starchy sausage.”

CC opened his mouth in mid-air, then closed it and turned to look at Lin Xian in confusion:

“Vegan sausage? Is there such a thing in the world? Is it meat or vegetarian?”

Lin Xian smiled slightly:
“The power of technology can do anything.”

He had never eaten meat since he traveled through time, so he quickly finished the hot dog in a few big bites.

Let’s look at CC again.

She ate very slowly, her cherry lips biting the hot dog with a feeling of meticulous care, savoring each bite carefully, very seriously and with great care.

puff--

Seeing this scene, Lin Xian couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He thought of Gao Yang.

That was when they were in elementary school. Lin Xian used his pocket money to buy two grilled sausages, one for him and one for Gao Yang.

It was also Gao Yang's first time eating it. He was reluctant to finish it in one bite, so he ate it bit by bit with his front teeth, under the euphemism of enjoying it slowly.

As a result, he accidentally tripped and the sausage, which had just been skinned, rolled into the sewer.

Whenever something falls to a place where he can pick it up, Gao Yang will definitely pick it up, wash it and continue eating.

But it happened to be in the sewer... So Gao Yang immediately burst into tears, and in the end Lin Xian cut half of his own sausage and gave it to him to coax him into tears.

"What are you doing?"

CC noticed Lin Xian's gaze and felt a little embarrassed, with her cheeks slightly red:

"Why are you always looking at me... I just... I just can't bear to eat it, I want to savor it slowly, don't laugh at me."

"No no."

Lin Xian waved his hands hurriedly:
“I was like that when I was a kid.”

"Tsk, I was still a kid."

CC chuckled:
"I see you are not that old now. How old are you this year?"

"I……"

Lin Xian counted with his fingers.

How old is this supposed to be?
This question really stumped him.

He was born in 1999.

It's 1952 now.

From a physical point of view, he should be -48 years old, and he still owes this space-time 48 years, so he should call CC grandma;

But from the perspective of time and space, he came from the year 2234 and should be 235 years old now. CC should probably call him Taishang Laojun.

However, the Hibernation Act emphasizes that age is calculated based on actual activity time, that is, physiological age; therefore, Lin Xian should be 26 years old now.

"I'm 26 years old." Lin Xian said.

"oh oh……"

CC made two confused noises, then lowered his head and continued eating his hot dog:

"It's not that bad. He's not much older than me. We're all the same age."

"Someone seven years older than me?" Lin Xian asked with a smile.

"Six years old! How can he be seven years old!"

CC emphasized:
"Look, although I don't know the exact date of my birthday, it will definitely be within the next month, so... I will be 20 years old soon, and you are only 6 years older than me!"

Say it.

CC continued to savor the hot dog, bit by bit, like a little hamster.

He even turned his back to avoid Lin Xian seeing him.

On the other hand, when Lin Xian heard what CC had just said, he felt a mixture of emotions.

The fate of the Millennium Pile is that it will turn into blue stardust and dissipate at the first second of its 20th birthday.

That is to say...

[The life of the first generation CC only has a few days or ten days left.] She didn't know such a cruel fate.

The little girl who ate the hot dog carefully did not know that even if she could eat a hot dog every day, the total number of hot dogs she could eat in her life... would not exceed 30.

"Here."

Lin Xian came back to his senses.

She found half a hot dog handed to her. Turning her head, she found that it was CC who handed it to her. She twisted the hot dog that she was reluctant to eat into two halves and handed the intact half to Lin Xian.

"Eat."

CC smiled slightly, just like tearing the thick bread of the church in half yesterday:
"You're so big, one hot dog won't fill you up, right? Here, I'll give you half, and half will be enough for me."

Lin Xian blinked.

It really feels incredible:

"You've eaten so much and cherished it... and you're willing to share half with me?"

"Oh, you were the one who treated me to this meal."

CC urged:
"I really can't bear to eat it... because I've never eaten anything so delicious. You must think I'm poor, right? But it doesn't matter, I'm poor anyway."

"But even though I'm poor, you've been so good to me, I have to repay you for your kindness."

Lin Xian looked at the half-eaten hot dog in front of him.

Tighten your lips.

It's really unexpected.

In CC's eyes, this hot dog is the most precious treasure in the world. She is afraid of taking a bite that is a little bigger and just hopes to savor it for a little longer.

But it is so precious...she is still willing to share half of it with herself.

Lin Xian pushed the half hot dog over:

"You are right. I will repay your kindness. This is how I repay you for the half piece of bread."

"Okay, it's just a hot dog. Don't push me around. I'm already very full after the church breakfast and this hot dog. Just enjoy it slowly."

He stood up.

Point to the ticket office of the west amusement park:

"I'll go buy tickets for the amusement park. When you finish eating, we'll go there to play."

CC was about to say something.

Lin Xian reached out to stop him:

"Now that we're here at Coney Island, we can't just eat a hot dog and go back. We should really experience this first time at an amusement park."

He smiled slightly:
“Have a nice day.”

……

Come to the ticket office.

Lin Xian looked up at the ticket instructions.

Sure enough, the adult ticket was 50 cents, just as the passengers on the bus had said.

Although it is a bit expensive.

But at least it is a full ticket and an all-inclusive ticket. After entering the amusement park, you can play all the projects for free without paying a second time. The price is reasonable.

Lin Xian put the last $1 coin at the ticket counter:
"Two adult tickets, thank you."

This is the end.

The time traveler from hundreds of years later once again came back empty-handed, penniless and penniless.

Just like when he first came into this era.

the difference is.

Now, at least he has shoes, a church coat, has met CC, and is aware that reverse forced avoidance is still in effect.

Ok.

The future is expected.

Back at the bench, CC had finished eating the hot dog and was wiping his hands with the wrapping paper.

"Why are you eating so fast?"

Lin Xian smiled and said:

"Not grinding your teeth like a hamster?"

"Look! I knew you were going to laugh at me!"

CC snorted, very unconvinced:

"You started wandering the streets in an otter skin. I'm not laughing at you. You're such an immoral person."

"But...I still want to thank you."

CC giggled, with two dimples faintly visible at the corners of her mouth:

"This way, next time I dream about eating a hot dog... at least I'll know what it tastes like. Every time I dream about it, I'll earn money."

Lin Xian sighed softly:

"You..."

He ruffled CC's slightly curly brown hair and didn't continue.

This CC always unintentionally says such heart-wrenching words with a smiling face.

Lin Xian only blamed himself for not having any extra money.

Otherwise, I will definitely buy Nathan's Hot Dog Shop out to CC and make her sick of it all at once.

"Let's go."

Lin Xian shook the amusement park ticket in his hand:

"There are so many things to do inside. If you don't seize the time... you might not be able to finish playing before closing time at night."

……

“WOOO ...

On a roller coaster.

The two naughty kids in front were crying loudly.

Lin Xian and CC sat in the seat behind the naughty kid, one with a blank expression and the other with a happy smile, feeling the acceleration.

The vehicle stops.

The two naughty kids in front fell directly to the ground.

A lady behind also vomited immediately.

Lin Xian and CC tiptoed over the vomit as if nothing had happened.

"You don't feel anything at all?"

Lin Xian looked at CC:

"Normally, you shouldn't be as calm as you are when riding a roller coaster for the first time."

“It’s very exciting~”

CC smiled and replied:

"It's really fun! But I'm not really scared, and I don't feel dizzy. Hehe... Could it be that I have some talent for being a pilot?"

"Pilot, you underestimate yourself."

Lin Xian smiled and said:

"The astronauts are fine."

"astronaut?"

CC blinked in confusion:

"What does astronaut mean?"

"An astronaut is..."

Lin Xian thought about it.

Indeed, in 1952, astronauts had not yet appeared.

Gagarin, the first person in human history to go into space, also took off in 1961.

By the time Lieutenant Armstrong took the first footprint on the moon and said, "This is a small step for man, but a giant leap for mankind," it was already 1969.

"Astronauts fly higher than pilots."

Lin Xian explained:
"In about nine years, the first human astronaut will fly into space on a spacecraft."

CC couldn't help laughing when he heard Lin Xian bragging seriously again:
"You're such a good storyteller. Why don't you just say that astronauts landed on the moon?"

Lin Xian smiled slightly:
"Look, you've even learned to answer quickly. Eight years after the first astronaut flew into space, three American astronauts landed on the moon."

"Okay, stop bragging."

CC said disdainfully:
"According to what you said, with technology developing so fast, will it be possible for someone like me to travel into space one day?"

……

……

Ok?
I thought Lin Xian would continue to brag.

But I didn't hear any sound.

CC turned around and saw Lin Xian standing there, silent.

"what happened?"

She blinked:
"Is it so difficult to make up the answer this time? Why don't you just make up a date? It's just a joke anyway."

"So tell me, in 1961, humans first went into space, and in 1969, humans first landed on the moon. What about me? In which year and day can I go to space for a tour?"

Lin Xian raised his head.

Looking at CC:

"2024."

He said softly:
"March 2024th...3."

"what?"

CC opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

I counted on my fingers:

"2024, the 21st century... I'm 92 years old! Why would I go to space at 92? You really are... You didn't even know to write it earlier."

"Hehe, I get it. You must have deliberately made it sound so far-fetched so that I can't verify it or expose that you are lying to me."

"Look at you, this person."

Lin Xian spread his hands:
"Can you trust your friends a little more? Everything is possible. You never thought you would be able to come to Coney Island to eat hot dogs and visit an amusement park today, did you?"

"Um……"

CC put his index finger on his chin and thought for a while:
"Okay, then I'll believe you."

She gave up thinking:
"March 2024, 3... It's such a distant day. But you're right, we should still have dreams. What if they come true?"

She chuckled and looked at Lin Xian:

"Lin Xian, if one day I really have the opportunity to go to space, I will never forget you."

"[To thank you for your hot dog today... I will definitely bring back a gift from space for you!]"
