Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 1227 - 26: The Mystery of the Supervillain’s Origin
Time travel used to follow procedures.
Back in the day, it required external aids, like knife-wielding thugs or Laido Slash by dump trucks.
Later, it became quick and easy — just lie down and sleep to travel.
Li Mumu used to play with time travel in Tianmen, at least he needed to catch special days like the first or fifteenth of the month, or borrow Xia Yubing’s Yin Yang Mirror.
However, this time there was no sign at all; very soon, just a blink, and bam, he traveled.
Due to complex historical factors, the place called Xiangjiang hasn’t been fully brought under the control of Ming Country’s new government yet; for some, this is naturally an incredibly desirable situation.
In business, the fewer restrictions, the more you earn.
As for the risk... that’s just unnecessary worry. Even if the sky were to fall, the first person it wouldn’t hit would be me.
It’s similar to how ancient Emperors treated illness; if the treatment doesn’t work, chop the head off. Aren’t Imperial Physicians supposed to grow fixedly from store shelves every day?
If you have to compare Tianmen and Xiangjiang, based on Li Mumu’s sense, one is like a budding maiden, and the other is like a divorced forty-year-old smoking and drinking woman covered in tattoos.
Already smoothly developed by her ex-African boyfriend with no resistance at all.
At least the higher-ups of Cypher and Lanton still manage to control the situation, make rational decisions, and maintain social order. But on the Xiangjiang side, it’s suspended outside the Empire’s territory, utterly unable to withstand the shock of a Temporal Tide.
Xiangjiang people seem completely oblivious or even indifferent.
"I’m pondering a question."
Li Mumu, suspended from the ceiling by fleshy roots and sucking blood vigorously, looked at the monitor screen, where Li Yufei and Wen Ya stormed in with a do-or-die mindset, and couldn’t help asking the annihilation next to him, who was loafing and eating melon: "Why are you involved with Xiangjiang over there?"
"If I remember correctly, you were born in the Federation after the millennium, right?"
What’s going on with this timeline?
"Yeah."
The woman shamelessly admitted.
"And then?"
"And then how should I know? Can you remember how many loaves of bread you ate in your previous life?"
Annihilation was self-righteous.
Normally, unless under special circumstances, no one cares about, nor has the ability to trace their previous life’s origins.
The timeline in the Space Tide, however, is completely chaotic and illogical.
......
"The scientific name for this thing is Omega Crystal, but we usually call it Pink Diamond."
Su Xiaowan held a plastic bag of something that looked like rock candy, seriously explaining its origins to this antique from who knows where.
"Simply put, it’s located above our heads, at a spot just higher than a space station... Do you know what a space station is?"
"I don’t know."
"Never mind, you could consider it outer space about four or five hundred kilometers above the ground. A few years ago, a space rift was detected there... Don’t ask me what a space rift is, I’m not a scientist, can’t explain it to you."
"Some say the rift leads to Subspace, where the legendary Spiritual World, the resting place of souls of the deceased, is located. Others say it’s an interstellar route, and through the rift, you can reach other galaxies... Whatever is said on the internet, most of it is conspiracy theory."
"Then at some time unknown, the rift started spewing an unexplained substance, which landed on Earth forming these Omega Crystals. These crystals emit radiation that can cause genetic mutation in humans."
"A normal person exposed to the crystal’s radiation has a ninety-nine percent chance of contracting a radiation sickness, and only one percent, or even lower, yields superpowers — like the mutants in the X-man comics, with all kinds of superpowers. Therefore, everyone calls those who acquire these abilities from radiation mutants."
Here, Su Xiaowan couldn’t help but sneer.
"Originally, those mutated by Terrigen Crystal should be called the Alien Race, like the Black Bolt of Illuminati, but they’re not popular; they didn’t have as much appeal as the X-men, so everyone let it slide..."
Her words were in Chinese, but Ji Yan couldn’t understand half of it.
This made Ji Yan, who prides himself as a scholar, feel terribly awkward.
So... when is Chen Heavenly Monarch going to sort things out?
Who will come save me?
Su Xiaowan’s mouth was dry from talking; she couldn’t help but took a sip of water from the cup and sneak a glance at the man sitting opposite her.
The face was so familiar to him, he was nearly sick of it.
But when he said he wasn’t the original person, Su Xiaowan didn’t hesitate long before deciding to believe him.
Because the original Gu Qing was simply... an exceptionally terrible person.
Having been sent abroad by his parents, he quickly became corrupted, indulging in eating, drinking, prostitution, and gambling, spending money like running water, changing girlfriends every week.
Su Xiaowan was fortunate to recognize his true nature early on, breaking up without being ravaged by him.
No one expected to meet again years later, both kidnapped and held in the same warehouse, used as experimental guinea pigs.
After finally finding an opportunity to escape, she was unlucky to get shot twice, originally thinking she was done for.
Unexpectedly, when she opened her eyes, there was someone new inside Gu Qing’s shell.
That’s not right, that’s not how it’s written in novels; wasn’t I supposed to die and then cross over to be reborn in the past?
