Chapter 9 To: Faded Star (Part )
After knowing the key person, Xing wanted to drag Yao Luo to confront him immediately.

Yao Luo stayed where he was, "Wait a minute."

He is thinking.

Bernard's reasons for doing this.

Bernard's actions were proactive, which means that he may know the answer Leslie gave to Rocky, but deliberately didn't let Rocky know.

"Lies never hurt, truth is the sharpest knife."

Thinking of the old man who talked passionately with Yao Luo about the current situation of the department, Yao Luo couldn't think of the reason why he did so.

It can't be that he is jealous of Rocky because he is old and has no companion, right?
More likely, would it be:
"Leslie, has she died in that galaxy?"

The thought was horrifying, Yao Luo stopped thinking about it, "Xing, did you bring a backup of the surveillance video?"

"It's been prepared long ago." Xing shook the memory in his hand.

"Okay, let's go." Yao Luo felt that this incident was not simple.

If things were really as he guessed, he believed Rocky had the right to know the truth.

The two of them started running around the station, but Bernard seemed to have been waiting for them and came to a less crowded place.

"Mr. Bernard, please tell the truth," Yao Luo took the initiative.

"Leniency to those who confess; severity to those who resist." Xing crossed his arms across his chest, looking very serious.

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Bernard said without any fluctuation in his tone, shaking his head.

Seeing this, Yao Luo became more determined in his thoughts.

"You can remain silent, but every word you say will be used as evidence in court." There was a hint of judgment in his tone.

Bernard was a little confused. He didn't know what big thing these two juniors had seen.

"Young people don't learn well, they just wander around aimlessly."

"Stop pretending. It was you who destroyed the records of the Galaxy Radio Wave Repeater!" Yao Luo's tone was full of confidence.

“It was all captured by the surveillance cameras.” Xing echoed the sentiment.

Xing raised the video in his hand. The person on it was Bernard.

After watching the video, Bernard seemed like a deflated ball, no longer as tough as before.

"Do you know Starquake?"

"Starquake?"

The answer was unexpected. The two looked at each other. Yao Luo shook his head and decided to continue listening.

Seeing the expressions of the two men, Bernard was even more speechless and his tone became a little tougher.

"You young people are such a pain in the ass."

"Old man, let me tell you, Leslie agreed to Rocky's confession!"

"what!?"

"Leslie is not dead?"

"Leslie agreed?"

"Pooh, pooh, pooh. What nonsense is this? What kind of nonsense is going on in the minds of you young people?" Bernard was speechless again.

"Uh..." Yao Luo scratched his head. He had overcomplicated things. It was all the fault of the Elementary School Student of the God of Death. Yes, it was because he had seen too many methods in it. If a person was missing, there was an 80% chance that he was dead. Yao Luo had thought of all the methods.

"Oh, you guys~" Bernard looked very disappointed.

"If you think I'm the one who's doing this, you're wrong! You smart boy," Bernard continued to explain.

"Starquake, if properly protected, will not cause any impact,"

"But the gravitational collapse caused by the starquake will cause the curvature of space-time to distort."

"Time and space distortion?" Yao Luo thought of the settings often mentioned in science fiction novels. A terrifying answer rose in his mind:

"The speed of space and time flow of Rocky and Leslie is different?"

Bernard was silent.

"You are very clever, young man."

Bernard stroked his beard and said, "I was a young man once."

"If Rocky is a person living in the present, then Leslie..."

“She’s already living in the future.”

Yao Luo's heart sank suddenly. He thought it was just a love story, but the mention of time is the ultimate problem that no human being can escape.

"Is there really no way?" Xing's tone was also heavy.

"Space can be crossed, but time cannot be touched!"

Bernard's tone was firm.

"When the time between the two is so far apart, Rocky has to spend a very long time to deal with Leslie's answers of a few seconds or minutes."

"There is a huge, unbridgeable valley between them, and the power of time will wear away everything."

"When Leslie returned to the space station one day, she was as bright as spring, and Rocky..."

Bernard's voice trembled slightly. "He has become an old man like me."

Yao Luo was infected by the emotions in Bernard's tone, and couldn't help but wonder what he could do if he were faced with the same situation.

"........."

The answer is no.

Whether it is major works or settings, there are many abilities and objects related to time manipulation, but the scope of use is basically limited to this world. No one is sure whether these abilities can still be effective across dimensions.

Even in this world I live in now, the only thing that can change time is...

"Since you have uncovered the truth of this matter, you will be the ones to inform Rocky." Bernard took out two videotape storage devices from his waist, one blue and one red.

A classic, fateful combination.

"Red is truth, blue is lies."

"Make your own choice." Bernard said no more and placed the two memory devices in Yao Luo and Xing's hands.

left.

Bernard left, but the responsibility of making the choice was left to Yao Luo and Xing.

Whether it was being moved or being in deep thought, for a moment, silence connected the two of them.

"........."

Silence can avoid problems, but it cannot solve them.

"Lies never hurt, truth is the sharpest knife."

Yao Luo said this in a low voice.

"But I think that as a human being, Rocky has the right to know about this." Yao Luo's tone was firm.

"No matter what judgment he makes afterwards, whether he gives up on himself or finds a new love, it is better than living a life blinded by lies."

"What about you, Xing." Yao Luo raised the red truth in his hand.

"Me too!" The two hands were clasped together, as if they had the same idea.

Main control section
Rocky was still thinking about something in the old place. Perhaps he already had his own guess in his mind.

Yao Luo handed over the "truth" in his hand.

Without hesitation, Yao Luo presented the answer that spanned tens of thousands of light years to Rocky.

"The speed of time?" Rocky's tone didn't fluctuate much, and Yao Luo couldn't see the change in his expression.

Rocky took a deep breath, seemingly shutting away all the worries in his heart.

"She went to the future... and I stayed in the present... Is that right?"

When Rocky was silent, he looked somewhat similar to his master.

"I never thought that time would be unfair to people."

Yao Luo saw Rocky’s clenched fists.

"Even if she traveled for several months and crossed light years, in my time coordinates, I would have become an old man."

Rocky's eyes turned sharp as he looked at Yao Luo and Xing.

"Honestly, man, you don't really think I'm that naive, do you?"

Yao Luo saw a sad smile appear on the person in front of him.

"Haha! Of course I won't wait for her! I won't wait!"

Rocky laughed loudly, and Yao Luo sighed in his heart.

"Maybe this is the choice of fate."

Xing also felt sorry, "I didn't expect you..."

"I won't wait..."

Rocky's voice was low.

"But I'm going to chase her. I'm going to catch up with time!"

A current flashed through his mind, and Yao Luo looked at the man in front of him in astonishment. There was only one thought in his mind:
Rocky is a real man!
"Since her space-time curve has become a canyon, instead of waiting for her to come out, can't I just cross it?"

An impassioned tone, an impassioned person.

"Yao Luo, Xing." Rocky's tone was full of sincerity.

"I plan to leave right away. What's the point of studying Geography without visiting Xinghai?"

"I told my master I'll leave if I can return safely."

Rocky paused, "I would like to invite you to be bridesmaids and best men."

"Okay." Yao Luo didn't say anything else. A gentleman's word is as good as gold.

Star nodded.

"Well, this poem is for you. Goodbye, my friend."

Rocky never looked back.

Yao Luo picked up the new poem that had been placed on the table, and the words on it seemed not to have dried yet.

Goodbye Black Tower
Darkness was marching in the distance in an almost cruel manner.

Dissecting time, asking whether the petal of love has fallen.

Like a ticking clock in infinite space and time, we have no choice.

One can only slide into the ominous tremor of the universe, like sliding down a slope at dusk.

Just like this, the stars are still enjoying the music above our heads, and their elegant and tired faces will be seen along the way.

Rocky Martinez
After reading the poem, Yao Luo realized that it was time for him to start his journey.

"Isn't this well written, Brother Rocky?"

　Yesterday's chapter was a bit watery, I admit my mistake. (Bow)

　　But I still like this story very much. It feels like what young people should be like (only for the Red Truth ending), so I still wrote it out. I will revise that chapter later and delete some unnecessary passages. Next time there is a similar plot, I will put it in the extra chapter.

　　Regarding the plot, the protagonist is ready to set off in the next chapter. Thanks to the encouragement of all the readers, I thought of a better plot for the plot of the planet Yaliluo VI overnight. Hehe, I will definitely not let you readers down, hehehe...
