I Really Didn't Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World-Chapter 872 - 525: The Last Day_1

Chapter 872: Chapter 525: The Last Day_1

“I heard you crushed one of Eric Mitchell’s fingers?”

Carrie Thomas asked with a touch of curiosity in the room at the Oxfordshire Villa.

Harrison Clark nodded, “Yes. I crushed one. He had originally promised never to return to the country, but I caught him red-handed, so I thought he deserved a lesson.”

“Good.”

Carrie smiled.

“Huh, why don’t you say I’m too cruel?” Harrison looked a little puzzled.

...

Carrie shook her head, “I don’t think it’s cruel. I believe you have your reasons for everything you do. People like Eric Mitchell should indeed be kept from returning for a lifetime. But I don’t think you should be angry about this, it’s not worth it, and it doesn’t match your current status.”

Harrison shook his head, “Status? What status can I have? Aren’t I still a person with a nose and two eyes? But I wasn’t angry. You might not believe it, but I was just thinking about the spirit of the contract. He broke the contract and should pay a price, it’s that simple.”

Carrie laughed out loud, “The spirit of the contract? That’s a novel explanation. But I still think that your time is too valuable to be spent on such trivial matters.”

Harrison smiled, “It took less than three minutes, and I still got everything done. Besides, no matter who I am, I still need to eat, drink, and do other things. Just like people now see you as a goddess, but even as a goddess, you still have to go to the bathroom, right?”

Carrie’s face turned red, and then she burst into laughter.

After a while, she poked Harrison’s forehead and said, “Look at you now, full of saucy words and no serious talk.”

Harrison chuckled.

A moment later, however, Carrie suddenly touched on the heart of the matter.

“Are you worried that you’re losing your emotions? So you’re deliberately trying to distance yourself from important matters and return to an ordinary life?”

Harrison was stunned, “You figured it out. That’s right.”

Nowadays, Harrison’s physiological lifespan is 138 years old, but his thinking has existed in the form of Quantum Life for thousands of years.

His psychological age has actually grown very, very old.

His will is strong, but living as another form of life for so many years will eventually leave more or less traces in his heart.

These traces are slowly eroding his emotions.

This active coldness in his personality is completely different from the passive dissipation he experienced as Quantum Life.

These days, Harrison gradually realized that he could only generate relatively strong emotional fluctuations when facing Carrie or listening to her singing, but when facing other people and things, even though he could still speak with a complex and varied tone and seemed like an ordinary person, he knew that this was all just a pretense.

He was becoming as “indifferent” as the stars.

This was a side effect he had to face after his thoughts had been quantumized.

Seeing him suddenly stop talking, Carrie knew she had grasped the truth.

She gently leaned in, hugging Harrison’s back.

“You’re tired.”

Harrison nodded, “A bit, but I’m alright.”

“You need to rest.”

“But I don’t have time to really rest. I always feel busy all day.”

Carrie: “You’re pushing yourself too hard.”

Harrison thought for a moment, “Maybe, but some things have just changed into what they are now.”

“Tell me what happened. I can handle it.”

…

Half an hour later, Carrie looked at Harrison with a heartbroken expression, “You lived alone in the black hole for a thousand years?”

Harrison nodded, “Yes.”

“Was it hard? Lonely?”

“It wasn’t too bad. At first, there were two people with me, and I could listen to your songs. Then I started actively contacting the Resistance Army outside and got involved in their cause. There was a time when I found it difficult, but then my emotions gradually faded, and I no longer knew what loneliness was.”He spoke about it casually, but Carrie Thomas couldn’t help but put herself in that scene, her emotions rising and falling uncontrollably.

“What do you think will happen this time? Will it repeat again?”

Harrison Clark thought for a moment, “There’s a good chance, to win this war, humanity needs me. I have to keep my eyes on the victory before I can be at ease.”

Carrie Thomas: “In the form of a living person or a quantum life?”

“If I wanted to take a shortcut, I could transform as soon as I got there. But…”

Carrie Thomas: “But you have new concerns?”

“Yes, when I grasped the Grand Unified Formula of Freddy as a quantum life form, my understanding of the universe reached a new stage. After coming back, I’ve been thinking about a question, and then I discovered a secret about the energy that allows me to travel through time.”

“What secret?”

Harrison Clark: “At first, I thought it was the will of the universe supporting me to reset time, with infinite energy. But I found out that’s not the case. What supports me is a force that follows scientific laws, and the application of the laws of the universe, just that we are not clear about it at the moment. But this force is limited. Since it’s limited, it will eventually be exhausted.”

Carrie Thomas: “What will happen after it’s exhausted?”

Harrison Clark thought for a moment, “I might lose the ability to alter the timeline of the universe.”

“Ah? And then what?”

Harrison Clark smiled, “Maybe this is my last attempt. This time, after my death in the future, I will not be able to come back.”

Carrie’s face suddenly turned pale, “Is… are you leaving?”

Harrison Clark blinked, “You can’t really say I’m leaving, aren’t I still going to grow old with you? The present is the present, and the future is the future.”

Carrie Thomas: “Uh… so this time your life might be like this. First, you grow old with us in the 21st century, then you will be revived in the 31st century, and then face your true death?”

It was a bit confusing before, but she understood after Harrison Clark explained.

Harrison Clark nodded, “So I didn’t plan to use suicide as a shortcut. You cannot walk along the river without getting your shoes wet. I’m always gambling like this, and if I lose it all, I’ll lose everything. Although I have mastered a lot of knowledge, my greatest talent lies in charging into the fray. I can exert the power of thousands of soldiers all by myself. So, I will join the fight with all my strength, even if I age a bit in the process. After my life as an ordinary person comes to an end, about to grow old, and die, I will transform myself into a more stable Quantum Intelligence, and live as long as I can.”

Carrie Thomas: “To accomplish everything in one battle?”

“Yes.”

Carrie Thomas pondered for a moment, “Why didn’t you have this concern before?”

Harrison Clark looked at the ceiling, “His tone became melancholic, probably because this time I finally grew old. This revealed the power limits of the mysterious energy and proved some of the answers I wanted.”

Carrie Thomas asked seriously, “What should we do now?”

Harrison Clark spread his hands, “There’s not much we can do, just face whatever comes our way. Actually, I always treat each time as if it’s the last. I always say ‘next time for sure’, it’s just my self-encouragement.”

Harrison Clark admitted a fact.

He himself was probably the greatest pessimist in all of history.

He always thought about failure, and firmly believed that each time might be the last.

But his thoughts from the past were not as strong as they are now.

Harrison Clark took a deep breath and patted Carrie Thomas’s shoulder, “So now I need to adjust my state, constantly striving for perfection, preparing for the final battle for both myself and civilization. Tomorrow, I will visit some old friends, let go of all my burdens gradually, and then travel light, moving forward.”

Carrie Thomas moved closer.

“I’ll write you a new song.”

“What song?”

Carrie Thomas: “The Last Millennium. I’ve even thought of the first line of the lyrics.”

“What is it?”

“Every time I open my eyes, I consider today as the last day.”

“That’s great.”

“I will also treat this as the last time and work hard. I hope my song can echo throughout the universe. That’s what makes this life worth it.”

“Hahaha. Great!”
