Chapter 489 Codename

When I first put on the time accelerator, I was still not used to it. It felt awkward, as if I was carrying a schoolbag.

The round device on the chest doesn't have much impact. After all, it's small in size. It just bulges out for no reason. When you lower your head, your eyes can't help but be attracted to it.

Lina lowered her head and looked at the slowly rotating blue circle of light on her chest, trying to find something like a trigger, but there was nothing.

"How do I use this?"

"When you put it on, it's already working." Winston adjusted his glasses.

"Has it worked yet?"

Lena still stared down at the time accelerator, not quite understanding how it worked. She might not be able to understand it if Winston explained the principles to him, because it was brain-burning science.

"How long do you usually stay in your normal form?" Winston asked.

"One hour and twelve minutes. To be precise, this is not my normal form. I can't even maintain my physical form."

After saying this, Lina's body flashed for no reason, as if she was playing an old disc with flowers, and the displayed image always flashed with colorful light bands. But in her case, there were several white light strips overlapping, blurring her body. It is fleeting and continuous, but at random intervals. It may flash once every few seconds or every few minutes.

"Oh my god! What's going on? I feel like the time flow is getting more confusing."

Lina found that she was increasingly unable to return to her normal form. The molecules in her body were always out of sync with the current time, causing her body to flicker like a flower saucer, and it was flashing non-stop at this moment.

"Don't worry, this is the time accelerator at work. It is adjusting your time flow, allowing the molecules in your body to return to the current time flow and achieve consistency."

Winston's eyes showed the scrutiny of a wise man, and he was right as he expected, this was a necessary process.

But in Lena's opinion, this was a sign that the situation had taken a turn for the worse. It wasn't that she didn't trust Winston, it was just that her body kept flashing, which was really scary.

After about four minutes, Lina was surprised to find that her body didn't dodge anymore, and she couldn't help but feel happy. Was this a success?

Winston smiled and said: "The first step was successful. The next step is to see whether you will disappear completely. If you are still standing here at that time, then the time accelerator can turn you into a normal person. No! One more special ability than normal people.”

He raised the decibel level on the last sentence, but Lina was not in that mood at the moment. She only hoped that at that point in time, she could still stand here like this, instead of suddenly disappearing and falling into the dark area with only a glimmer of light.

"Sit down and wait!"

Winston stretched out his hand. Originally, he wanted to pull out a chair for her, but he was unable to do so now. He had been busy for so long and never had a good rest.

If the success of the time accelerator hadn't cheered him up, he might have fallen asleep on the table and couldn't wake up even with the alarm clock.

Lina sat down and waited quietly, feeling uneasy inside.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the further it went, the more uneasy she became. She was afraid that at that moment she would disappear, or something worse would happen, a state where she would not be able to return to the real world.

"Don't worry, it'll be okay."

Winston asked her to relax from time to time, but Lena just nodded slightly, clenched her fists and put them on her knees. She had never been so reserved since she came to Overwatch.

"There are still the last 60 seconds, 60, 59, 58..."

Lina looked up at the wall clock, breathing at the same rate as the second hand, clenching her fists tighter, and biting her lips red. There was an aura of depression and nervousness all over her body, and only the shallow freckles on her face showed off the vitality that should belong to her age.

At this time, the movement of the second hand also affects Winston's heartstrings, and success or failure depends on this.

If it succeeds, Lina will be a blessing in disguise; if it fails, there are only two endings.

Either Lina will be trapped in the turbulence of time forever and be completely erased from the world without leaving any trace; or Lina can return to reality and he will continue to improve the time accelerator and get a more perfect work to help her return to normal.

"one!"

Lina's eyes were firmly locked on the round clock on the wall. When the second hand turned around and pointed to "12" again, her whole body trembled, and then she sat stiffly on the chair, as if she had lost her soul.

"Ahaha... I said no problem, we succeeded!"

Hearing Winston's laughter, Lena realized that the experiment was successful.

The stiff body started to move. First, a look of joy appeared on his expressionless face. Then he opened his clenched palms and suddenly left his seat and straightened up. He fell into a burst of ecstasy and screamed uncontrollably.

That lively and cheerful girl is back again.

"Winston, your blood pressure has risen again." A clear female voice sounded.

"I told you not to monitor my physical condition, Athena." Winston stopped laughing, maybe he was a little too excited.

"Okay, but don't forget your body..." Before Athena could finish speaking, Winston answered: "It is the capital of revolution. You have said this no less than three thousand times."

After saying that, he picked a banana and ate it by himself, "That's why I eat this."

However, a pile of empty peanut butter bottles next to the table gave him away. He didn't eat much regular meals these days, so he relied on bananas and peanut butter. Even though he was a little tired of eating bananas, he still couldn't get enough of peanut butter. To refresh himself, he drank coffee, which was just enough to keep his stomach clear.

"Would you like one?" Winston turned to Lena and asked, pointing to a handful of bananas.

"No, I am already filled with happiness."

Lena calmed down her excitement. Now she just wants to return to the Overwatch air force and become a glorious Overwatch warrior.

"By the way, Winston, did you just say that this has other functions?"

She suddenly remembered, pointed to the glowing accelerator on her chest, and asked Winston.

Winston bit off the remaining banana, threw the peel into the trash can, clapped his hands and said to her: "The main function of the time accelerator is to maintain the turbulent body molecules in the current time. It also has a subsidiary function, which is My proudest invention is the control of time flow.”

"Control time?!"

Lina, who was tortured so much by the time flow, was surprised when she heard that she could control the time flow. This was simply incredible.

Time exists in people's daily lives. It seems normal, but in fact it is very dangerous. She knows it better than anyone else as she is confused by the flow of time. If she could control it, wouldn't she have a powerful ability?

"It can be said that you can control your own time flow through the time accelerator, speeding up or slowing down time at will. These are the functions. As for how to use it and how much power it can exert, it depends on your personal development." Winston said .

Lina became even more excited when she heard this, but looking at the front, then twisting her neck and looking at the back, she saw that there were no controllable parts at all.

"How...how do I control this?" she asked weakly.

"It cannot be controlled by humans, it can only rely on human induction. If you want to gain the ability to control the flow of time, you must sense the existence of the flow of time and reach a balance point with it. Ordinary people definitely can't do it, but you have time now Through the accelerator, you must be able to sense the flow of time. I know this is very abstract and difficult to understand, but you must find this balance point, sense it and then use it, so that the flow of time can be used for you. "

In order to meet the requirements that Winston said, Lena didn't go anywhere during this period. She just stayed at the Overwatch headquarters and sensed the existence of her own time flow through the time accelerator.

It sounds easier than it is done, and a month has passed without even a little progress. But she has the energy to refuse to admit defeat, and now she no longer has to suffer from time dissociation. She has plenty of time to try, and her daily life is very positive.

Overwatch supports this work. If she can successfully do this, she will be qualified to enter Overwatch and become an agent of Overwatch instead of a pilot who can be found anywhere.

As for the prototype test flight plan, Commander Morrison never mentioned it again, and Winston no longer wanted to touch it. Time and space technology is not yet mature, and doing it blindly will only cause greater worries. It is better to wait for the world's technology to take a step forward, and maybe the problems related to space transmission will be solved.

It took two and a half months, but Lina finally mastered the technique of controlling the flow of time through the time accelerator.

Now, as Winston said before, she can speed up or slow down time at will. As a result, she has developed two abilities that even surprised herself.

By accelerating time, one can travel through space at a speed that is imperceptible to the naked eye, similar to flashing, and can achieve the purpose of short-distance teleportation; by slowing down time, one can rewind time. Simply put, it is time retrieval, which only acts on oneself and allows one to return to status a few seconds ago.

It is said that she now has both lightning speed and the ability to rewind time. The latter is extremely useful in battle.

It's like in a battle, you are hit hard by the enemy, but as long as you rewind time in time, you can recover to the state a few seconds ago, and then make targeted actions against the enemy.

Just thinking about it makes me feel emotional.

Winston was extremely excited after hearing the news. The time accelerator was his greatest invention ever, and it would be difficult to surpass it in the future.

Overwatch executives marveled at Winston's creativity and Lena Oxton's perseverance and understanding.

I didn't expect it to happen.

Overwatch executives wanted to mass-produce temporal accelerators, but Winston rejected them. The reason is that Oxton experienced a skyleaper accident, which made her different from ordinary people, so only she can play the role of a time accelerator. For ordinary people, the time accelerator is just a decoration, or a burden.

Therefore, Lena Oxton was able to enter Overwatch and become a trainee agent, codenamed "Tracer".

However, she doesn't control her own time flow very well, and sometimes it flickers for no reason like before. Winston thought this might be related to the time accelerator, so he made changes to the stability.

Every time after making improvements, Lena would make two gestures with another Overwatch member to test the stability.

Overwatch is busier than ever because Null Sector is becoming more rampant everywhere, especially in London, where it originated. The war has started there, but things are not going as the British Prime Minister said. The army cannot stop the Null Sector, and the Null Sector is wreaking havoc in the city, smashing, looting, and burning.

In the Shadow Division, Gabriel, the commander of Shadowwatch, is sitting in his seat staring at the screen in front of him, with Morrison and Anna standing behind him, who are unaware of the situation.

The big screen shows that London has become a battlefield where the war is spreading, and the wreckage of Null Sector is everywhere. McCree stands there to report the situation to Gabriel.

"The Null Sector has locked up Mondatta, Mayor Nedal, and more than a hundred other prisoners in the power plant. The power plant is heavily guarded, and you have to blow up the gate if you want to get in. And the premise is that you can avoid anti-aircraft fire."

As soon as the report was finished, a Null Sector attacked McCree.

McCree turned around quickly, put his left hand behind the revolver, and fired six shots.

"I'll contact you later. The situation here is a bit out of control. End of call."

"What is McCree doing, Gabriel?" Anna asked. She and Morrison didn't know.

"He seems to be assessing the situation over there."

Gabriel answered calmly, as if he didn't take it seriously.

"Gabriel, I mean why would McCree appear in a place outside the scope of Overwatch's operations, not to mention that he and other Blackwatch agents have been suspended?" Anna asked again.

"Maybe on vacation?"

"On vacation in London?" Anna snorted.

"Xiaojia, is there anything else you haven't told me? Who else did you send to lurk there?" Morrison put his palms on the table and looked at Gabriel sideways.

"You don't need to know." He answered.

Morrison was a little upset, but the communicator in front of him lit up.

"Important intelligence from Downing Street, Commander Morrison."

"Send it to me."

After reading it, Morrison looked dejected, "The Prime Minister still hasn't given in. We still can't act in the UK."

"He must be kidding."

Anna rubbed her brows in anger. It was really bad to meet an old stubborn person.

"It sounds like the British are very sure."

Gabriel got up and left. He never had a good impression of these blindly arrogant guys.

"Heroes are always heroes, Gabriel." Anna said.

"The hero on the statue is not me."

Gabriel turned around and smiled. He was a little bit upset. Why did he give so much to Overwatch, but got nothing in return? Jack deserved all the credit. The country erected a statue for him, the leaders received him, and awarded him medals...

He will always be a killer who acts in the dark, that's all. Fame and fortune have nothing to do with him.

I'm afraid he will be forced to retire at some point. It will definitely be like this. It's just a matter of time.
