backtracking dawn

Under the urging of two staff members, Qu Xiao was hurriedly taken to the door of a room. Through the window glass on the door, he could see that someone was already sitting inside. The clothes were also dark blue, but the style was different.

The two people on the other side are different.

"Dr. Hill, we're here."

One of them shouted through the door, and the doctor inside pressed the button on the side of the table to open the door. Then Qu Xiao was forcefully pushed in. This posture did not look like a psychological consultation at all, but more like

To interrogate the prisoner.

"Find a chair to sit on."

Doctor Hill spoke. He was a white man with an old appearance, but he spoke in Longjun dialect that Qu Xiao could understand, so there was no communication barrier between the two.

Qu Xiao casually moved a chair from the side, and then followed Dr. Hill's further instructions and sat across from him. There was an iron table between the two of them, and there was an instrument connected to many lines on the table.

When Qu Xiao sat down, he secretly glanced at the screen on the side facing Dr. Hill, but he couldn't figure out what this instrument was used for. He just vaguely saw lines of small characters, so he guessed that this thing was big.

Probability is a certain kind of measurement tool.

"Tell me what's going on with you now."

Not wanting to chat, as soon as Qu Xiao sat down, Dr. Hill asked a question.

Then Qu Xiao explained it to the other party seriously. Of course, he did a lot of polishing during the process.

"Okay, I roughly understand." Dr. Hill nodded, then buried his head and drew a few strokes on the electronic board in his hand, "So you don't remember anything now?"

"Yeah," Qu Xiao responded, "Doctor, do you think my situation can still be cured?"

"There must be a way." Dr. Hill answered firmly, "But based on your current situation, I still need to do some further analysis."

"No problem, doctor, you can ask whatever you want. As long as I know everything, I will tell you the truth."

"No, you have misunderstood me." Dr. Hill shook his head, "If I want to have a deeper understanding of the symptoms you are currently experiencing, it is far from possible to rely on questions and answers alone. I need to help you.

I think you won’t mind that the instrument in front of you will conduct some examinations on your body, right?”

"ah……"

Qu Xiao's expression changed.

"What's wrong? Are you in trouble?" Dr. Hill frowned, "It's just a routine checkup. You seem very nervous?"

"No... don't be nervous." Qu Xiao waved his hand quickly, "Doctor Xing, you can come, I'm available at any time."

"Okay, then take off your shirt first."

Following what the other party said, Qu Xiao took off his upper body clothes and exposed his bare arms, feeling a little chilly.

Upon seeing this, Dr. Hill stood up and walked up, then pulled up the contacts of the instrument and connected them one by one to the surface of Qu Xiao's upper body skin. The specific situation was somewhat similar to that of a professional heart rate lie detector, but this thing is different from

The lie detector has many more lines, and the linked parts are also covered more comprehensively.

Soon, Qu Xiao's upper body turned into an octopus. Fortunately, the contacts of this thing did not need to penetrate the skin, so although a lot of penetration was done, Qu Xiao did not feel any pain. On the contrary, he felt a sense of comfort.

Warmth began to sweep through his entire upper body, like warm water flowing close to the surface of his skin.

"How's it going? Can you feel the temperature?"

After connecting all the lines, Dr. Hill asked.

"Yes, it's very warm and comfortable." Qu Xiao answered truthfully.

"Okay, this means the machine is working." Dr. Hill smiled and sat back in his seat, staring at the display screen as if he was observing something.

Seeing this, Qu Xiao secretly adjusted his breathing. He didn't know if this thing could detect his heart rate. If it could, the current value was probably not low. Although he kept saying he wasn't nervous, Qu Xiao still felt worried in his heart.

He was very worried that there would be something wrong with the examination, and the things hidden in his body would not be exposed at all. If the doctor found out that he did not have amnesia at all, then his identity as a time traveler would be in danger.

Secretly observing Dr. Hill's expression, Qu Xiao noticed that the other person's expression gradually became serious, which made him even more unable to sit still. As he was thinking about how to explain, Dr. Hill suddenly spoke.

"Okay, I now fully understand your situation."

Standing up from his seat, Dr. Hill sighed with regret.

"How about doctor, can my disease be cured quickly?" Qu Xiao pretended to be anxious and asked.

"Yes, yes." Dr. Hill nodded, "It's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that you might have to suffer a little bit."

"ah?!"

Before Qu Xiao understood what the other party meant, he suddenly felt a stinging pain in many places throughout his upper body!

The contacts that were connected just now actually have a hidden secret. There is a special small mechanism inside. Dr. Hill took out the remote control hidden in his pocket and pressed it, and these contacts activated the mechanism and inserted a small needle.

Immediately afterwards, Qu Xiao felt liquid seeping into many places on his upper body. The seeping process was accompanied by clear pain like tearing. Qu Xiao wanted to endure it, but found that he couldn't bear it at all. His eyes bulged outward like bells.

, it feels like one step away from explosion!

"ah--"

With painful wails coming from his mouth, Qu Xiao now felt like countless wild beasts were tearing his flesh apart crazily. He wanted to curse the liar in front of him, but under the intense pain, he could not utter anything other than a scream.

any sound.

Feeling extremely remorseful, Qu Xiao vowed that if he didn't die this time, he would definitely make this guy pay the price. However, Dr. Hill obviously didn't care about the hatred in his heart. He quickly connected with his fingers and began to send more and more liquid into Qu Xiao's vagina.

Body!

It's medicine!

At this moment, Qu Xiao finally understood the truth about this so-called "psychotherapy".

All the previous words are bullshit. The purpose is to get him to connect to this instrument. Once he is connected to the instrument, he has become a lamb to be slaughtered. The doctor can control him at any time through the remote control hidden in his pocket.

If he wants to resist, the other party only needs to press a button quickly.

But...but why do they do this...

His consciousness was gradually numbed by the pain. Before he could think clearly, Qu Xiao gradually fainted.

Half asleep, he seemed to hear Dr. Hill talking to people, about control, dosage...

He only vaguely remembered these two scattered words.

Damn it, is this really the end of my life...

His consciousness felt as if someone had pushed him into the water. Qu Xiao held his last breath and kicked his legs desperately, struggling. Suddenly, a faint glow appeared in front of his eyes. He swam over with all his strength to meet him...

It is the life that frees you from nightmares.

"Well!"

Qu Xiao suddenly sat up from the bed and looked around. He was back in the old shack again!

Everything around him felt so familiar. He picked up the i-pen that was within reach on the pillow and touched it. Qu Xiao couldn't believe what he had just experienced!

Is it a dream...

He still remembered the pain when he was slapped in the first place. If everything he had experienced before was just a dream, then this dream was simply too real.

No, this is definitely not a dream.

After calming down again, Qu Xiao stood up and analyzed in his mind.

Eliminate all impossibilities, and no matter how outrageous the remaining things are, they are facts.

Qu Xiao believes that the factor that caused him to travel through time was the strange black stone he discovered last night.

At this time, this thing was still lying quietly on his bed, its black luster was faintly visible, and when he reached out to touch it, he could vaguely feel a hint of warmth.

Qu Xiao carefully brought the black stone in front of his eyes and looked at the sunlight coming in from the window carefully.

In fact, he had also observed this thing last night, but it was not as clear as in the morning. With the bright sunlight, Qu Xiao could see more tricks on the surface of the black stone this time. This thing did not have the characteristics of ordinary stones at all.

Typical appearance features, such as depressions and cracks, its entire body seems to be natural, with regular edges and corners, and a silky touch.

If you want to associate it with something, Qu Xiao thinks that the thing that most resembles it should be diamond or crystal. However, the first two require professional cutting and polishing to reach such a level. As for the black stone in front of him, Qu Xiao can't see it.

There are no traces of cutting or grinding on the surface.

As for natural formation…

Qu Xiao thought it was even more impossible.

Although nature has many miraculous masterpieces, this black stone does not look like something that can be formed by nature, because it is completely inconsistent with even the most basic physical logic - the surface is extremely hard but has extraordinary elasticity

, if this thing is seen by physicists, everyone lying in the coffin will have to climb out and say "fuck".

But if this thing is neither natural nor man-made, then where does it come from?

When Qu Xiao was watching TV as a child, he often fantasized about possessing a "magic weapon from heaven", but now that the magic weapon was in front of him, he began to worry.

If he really traveled through time because of this black stone, then the origin of this thing may not be simple. Qu Xiao has long passed the age of believing that "pie will fall from the sky". He is pragmatic and knows very well that in this world, absolutely

There is no free lunch.

This thing may be a treasure, but it may also lead to some bad consequences. Qu Xiao is not a person who likes to gamble on probabilities, so if this thing were placed in the past, he would definitely keep it away, but now, the current situation has made him

Completely desperate, the severe and extreme weather completely destroyed his previous life-saving straw. If he did not want to go bankrupt, Qu Xiao must now seize every possible hope, including -

This weird stone.

His mind suddenly became more active. Suddenly, Qu Xiao felt that he had nothing to worry about. He couldn't ignore the consequences, but now, did he still need to care?

Everything is going to be lost anyway, so he might as well take a gamble and see if he can find a chance of survival. If this stone really allows him to travel to another world, Qu Xiao feels that this may be the biggest opportunity in his life!

In his memory, the technology of that other world should be more advanced than the real world he is currently in. If he can find some advanced methods or mysterious formulas for cultivating crops, his small farm may have a chance to be saved!

I hope it's really possible...

Qu Xiao muttered to himself, made a fist and pinched the black stone, feeling the temperature of the latter in his palm, and began to try to actively travel.

And at this moment, a light and cheerful shout suddenly came from outside the house——

"Brother Qu Xiao!"
