I stood before the old man, his wise gaze seeming to see through everything. I knew he was knowledgeable and must know the secret of Time Station. Eagerly, I asked him, "Grandpa, where is Time Station? How can I get there?"
The old man sighed, his tone heavy. "Time Station is a mysterious place that connects different timelines. As for how to reach it, becoming a courier for Time Station grants you a special passage to get there. However, during the delivery process, there is a time limit. If you exceed that time, Time Station will close, and you will never be able to return. Moreover, if you spend too long outside of Time Station, you will gradually turn to ashes with the flow of time."
His words struck my heart like a heavy hammer.
I pressed on, "Then how can we stop those crazy experiments?"
The old man shook his head helplessly. "Some are willing to take risks for profit. To stop them, we must tackle the issue at its source. But that is very difficult."
I took a deep breath, trying to calm my emotions. Going to Time Station might mean sacrificing myself, but if I didn't go, I would live in fear every day, ultimately being torn apart and consumed by mutated creatures. Faced with such a choice, my heart was in turmoil, but I had to make a decision.
I looked up at the old man and said firmly, "Please let me become a courier; I want to stop all of this."
The old man showed concern. "Have you thought this through? Once you set off, there is no turning back. If the delivery is not made on time, the time stream will not return."
"I've made up my mind," I replied resolutely. "No matter how dangerous it is, I cannot let the scene from thirty years in the future become reality."
The old man nodded and took out two items from his pocket, handing them to me. "These two items—one can buy you an extra minute of time, and the other can store unlimited data. Keep them with you just in case; they could save your life at a critical moment."
I accepted these precious items with gratitude in my heart. "Thank you, Grandpa."
He smiled and patted my shoulder. "Go ahead, child; your fate is in your own hands."
I turned and left, filled with determination and unease.
The next day, I arrived early at the laboratory, selecting some key materials and experimental samples before heading straight to the top floor to find the old man. He nodded slightly upon seeing me and asked, "Are you ready?"
"Yes," I replied, my voice trembling slightly.
He entered a long string of numerical codes for me. Suddenly, I heard a beep followed by a voice echoing in my mind: "Welcome to the family of Time Station! This is the Time Machine Delivery Station; I am your delivery assistant responsible for providing you with temporal routes and time reminders. You can call me Xiao; feel free to summon me anytime."
I was taken aback and looked around trying to find the source of the voice.
The old man noticed my confusion and smiled. "You don't need to look for it; it's in your brain—only you can hear it."
I nodded, feeling both surprised and excited. Climbing into my exclusive vehicle, I prepared to head to Time Station.
"Xiao, how do we get to Time Station?" I asked tentatively.
"Please fasten your seatbelt; temporal travel is about to begin," Xiao's voice resonated in my mind.
Suddenly, the vehicle emitted a dazzling light, and I felt an intense dizziness. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a completely different place.
It was a vast space station surrounded by twinkling stars and flowing time streams. I saw other couriers busily moving between different time portals.
"Courier Li Xiaoming, welcome!" A voice from the system interrupted my observation. Following a reminder from Xiao Shi, I arrived at the identity verification station. However, unexpectedly, an alarm went off...
