Chapter 68

Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

Yin Yin felt that if she hadn’t been particularly tenacious since she was a child, she must have been beaten to the ground by Ji Ting’s words.

After finishing that sentence, Ji Ting was silent for a long time before opening her mouth again, “Xin’er, didn’t you ask me what research I was doing?”

Yin Yin’s expression became a little distorted. “Don’t tell me you are studying about crossovers?”

Ji Ting froze for a moment, then smiled and said, “Of course not. Our research project is about wormholes.”

……

Yin Yin tried her best to control the twitching corners of her mouth. “Do you mean the wormhole in the sky or the wormhole on the ground?”

Ji Ting gave Yin Yin a powerless look. “……In the sky. Wormholes were originally a hypothetical theory proposed by Einstein. We can imagine it as a tunnel connecting two distant points in time and space. Through this tunnel, we can realize teleportation and time travel.”

Yin Yin’s head was already dizzy. “Ji Ting, I really hate physics.”

Ji Ting smiled helplessly and then said, “Then let me put it briefly. Through wormholes, humans can travel through time and space. But this is only achievable in theory. In terms of the current reality, our technology can’t do this. But…”

Okay, it was another ‘but’. Yin Yin asked honestly, “But what?”

“Although we cannot transfer people in space and time, intelligence can.”

Yin Yin’s eyebrows jumped. “What do you mean?”

“In other words, we can achieve communication with the future.”

……

“Communicate…… with the…… future……?” F*ck! This is too f*cking awesome, don’t you think so?! Yin Yin is in a mess. She has been living with such a f*cking awesome person, and she doesn’t even know it!

“En.” Ji Ting just nodded calmly, like what she just said was not about communicating with the future, but as if cabbage is one yuan per pound. “We have been communicating with the future regularly, but one day, the communication suddenly stopped. We waited for a long time and never received any news from the future again.”

Yin Yin’s heart jumped. “What does that mean?”

Ji Ting glanced at Yin Yin and said in a low voice, “It means that something happened in the future and they can no longer contact us. After careful inspection, the monitoring station finally discovered that in a certain period of time in the future, due to some unknown force, time has been disordered, and it keeps on circulating.”

When Ji Ting said this, she leaned towards Yin Yin’s direction. “Do you know what this means? Time has stagnated, and the future has disappeared.”

Yin Yin: “……”

She always thought that she was in a romantic novel. Who would ever think that this novel would unknowingly become science fiction?

Ji Ting continued, “This cycle last for about a week, and what we have to do is to stop it as soon as possible before it came to our point of time. Through our investigation, we finally lock on you as the target. So I began to proactively approach you. At that time you were recruiting tenants and I took the opportunity to insert myself in.”

Yin Yin: “……”

For the first time since she grew up, she felt that she was such an important person.

She swallowed her saliva and asked hesitantly, “Is there some problem with me?”

“A big problem.” Ji Ting’s expression became more solemn. “We have conducted a systematic investigation on you, and the results of the investigation shows that you are the one who caused the continuous cycle during that time.”

“Me?” Yin Yin suddenly felt that it was hilarious. “How can I make the world go into a cycle? Is it possible that I am some kind of a dangerous biochemical weapon?”

Ji Ting looked deeply at Yin Yin. “Your existence itself is a serious threat to the world.”

Yin Yin: “……”

She was smiling, because it was really funny. But looking at Ji Ting’s grim expression, she couldn’t laugh at all.

Ji Ting took a deep breath and said again, “We have investigated your adoptive parents and they said that you suddenly appeared at their house one day. That’s right. You suddenly appeared in this world bringing a certain powerful unknown force, which will finally make the world out of balance some day. So…… when the time comes, this force will cause an infinite cycle.”

Yin Yin frowned and looked at Ji Ting. “Ji Ting, is this your new novel? It’s much more interesting than the last one. It will definitely become popular.”

Ji Ting lifted the glasses on her face again and said in a dark tone, “Xin’er, you know I am not joking. Your situation has attracted great attention from the organization, and their order to us is to erase your existence at all costs. Only when you disappear can the world restore its balance and stop the cycle.”

Yin Yin finally couldn’t stay standing up. She fell onto the sofa and took a few long breaths. “I don’t understand what you are talking about.”

Ji Ting looked at Yin Yin, who was limp on the sofa with a slight frown. “Of course, the erasure we are talking about was not to directly kill you, because we are not sure what the risks are. Finally, after discussion with the project team, we adopted a more compromising method ——to send you to another time and space.”

Yin Yin finally had some reaction. “Another time and space?”

“Yes.” Ji Ting nodded. “You also know it as the world in the novel. It is a space in another dimension independent of this world. In order not to make you feel abrupt, I even wrote a novel and published it online. That novel is the prototype of another space we have built for you.”

“So…… you set Ling Long to be my ideal man?” Yin Yin glanced at Ji Ting with slanted eyes.

“Yes. Because we want you to stay in that world, so we tried to set everything according to your preferences.” Ji Ting said, “But I also said before that we can’t transfer humans into another space, so it was only your mind or your thoughts that is transferred to that world.”

Yin Yin: “……”

She really needs time to calm down.

When Ji Ting said this, she paused. “But things didn’t go as smoothly as we thought. First of all, we originally set you to become the heroine. I don’t know what went wrong in the process and you became Yin Yin.”

Yin Yin: “……”

“Then, you will fall off the cliff at the end of the story all the time. As long as you fall, you will return to this world and everything will loop back to a week ago, that is, the day you cut across——you can understand it as the day you enter the novel. Afterwards…… you will cross over again as a pattern.”

“……” Yin Yin held her forehead weakly. “Wait, I’m a little dizzy.”

Ji Ting really waited a moment before she continued to explain, “This process, including this time, is already the thirteenth time. As the number of times increases, your self-awareness becomes stronger and stronger, and every time you come back from that world, there will be some deviations in this world. For example, sometimes my clothes that you soiled is white, and sometimes it’s red. For example, sometimes the role you play in front of your classmates is a teacher, and sometimes it’s a doctor.”

The living room became very quiet. Yin Yin did not say anything, but Ji Ting did not speak again. She just sat quietly on the sofa while looking at Yin Yin. There is obviously no wind, but the white curtain printed with lotus flower on the window was still swaying slightly.

It seemed as if a century had passed before Yin Yin finally asked, “How did you let me into that world?”

Ji Ting said, “Do you remember the can of beer you drank? A special medicine is added to it, which will cause confusion in your consciousness and clear your memory of the previous time you cross over. Then we will take you to the laboratory and use a special machine that can transfer your mind.”

Yin Yin raised her head and gave Ji Ting a tired look. “Then what are you mainly trying to explain today?”

Ji Ting’s eyes dimmed for a moment, and then she looked back at Yin Yin, her eyes firm. “We have failed twelve times, and this time we finally stopped the cycle, so we hope you will continue to stay in that world.”

Yin Yin smiled dejectedly and didn’t speak.

Ji Ting said, “I also know that this request is a bit excessive, but if you return to this world, I don’t know what will happen next time. And…… the organization has ordered the obliteration of your body in this world.”

Ji Ting paid close attention to Yin Yin’s expression, but she couldn’t see any clue. She pursed her lips. “Actually, we have found a way to close the passageway. After this conversation is over, the passageway connecting the two worlds will be blocked, and you can’t come back even if you want to.” She paused and then went on, “Although that world was constructed by us, it is not completely a virtual world. Therefore, your death in that world is also a real death.”

Yin Yin looked at Ji Ting as if she had only known her for the first time today. Ji Ting suddenly felt guilty. Yin Yin’s eyes clearly did not have any lethality, but it made her feel terrified.

“Don’t worry, I won’t come back.” Yin Yin suddenly smiled. “Although no one needs me here, there are still people waiting for me to go back in that world.” Yin Yin said until here and glanced at Ji Ting. “Maybe you are also just a part of a dream I have?”

This remark made Ji Ting stunned, and then she felt a bit of sourness in her heart. But no matter what, Yin Yin’s decision still made her breathe a sigh of relief.

“By the way, what’s the matter with Li Li? Is he the character you deliberately set to help me?” Although he didn’t help me at all.

“No.” Ji Ting shook her head. “We had also discovered later that he still retained his memories. You can treat this as a bug. Just like when you suddenly changed from a female lead to a female supporting character.”

“……” All right. “What about the Seven Star Pill? Who put it in the puppet?”

Ji Ting pondered for a while and said, “It should be Jia Qing. You can think of this as a hidden quest. If you brush enough of Jia Qing’s favorability, the pill will appear automatically.”

Yin Yin: “……”

She exhaled and said, “Actually, you’re developing games, aren’t you?”

Ji Ting: “……”

She stood up and hugged Yin Yin lightly. “Then goodbye, my dear Landlady.”

Just after Ji Ting’s voice fell, Yin Yin felt her head became heavy and fell into darkness once again.

When Yin Yin opened her eyes anew, she met a pair of amber eyes.

Jia Qing’s voice came to her ears. “I said that she will wake up soon. Don’t you believe me? If there is any lingering poison, it won’t wait until now.”

Ling Long looked at Yin Yin who had opened her eyes, sighed lightly and whispered, “Can you tell me in advance before you faint next time so that I can be a little bit prepared?”

Yin Yin looked at Ling Long in front of her and the grievances in her heart suddenly rushed up. She sat up from the bed with a “shua”, hugged Ling Long and cried, “Ling Long! They all despise me Ling Long! They said that with me in the world, there will be no future!”

Although Yin Yin’s inexplicable words made Ling Long confused, he still patted Yin Yin’s back comfortingly. “It’s okay. Who are they? I’ll help you take revenge.”

Jia Qing standing to the side wisely left the room and helped them close the door.

Yin Yin didn’t answer Ling Long’s words but kept lying on his shoulder while crying.

Ling Long listened to Yin Yin’s cries and whispered softly, “Yin Yin, keep the money you won. You don’t have to hand it in.”

Yin Yin was stunned. She then lifted her head from Ling Long’s shoulder and looked at him with a sob. “I didn’t…… faint because of…… this.”

Ling Long couldn’t help but chuckle. He wiped away the tears from the corners of Yin Yin’s eyes. “I know. But……” Ling Long gave Yin Yin a threatening look. “Don’t use it to raise a pretty boy.”

Yin Yin finally broke into a smile. “Absolutely not! Can I keep you?”

Ling Long pinched Yin Yin’s teary face and said with a smile, “Or I can keep you ba. During your coma, my men reported that Lord Yin has agreed to our marriage. We’ll just have to wait for an auspicious day and we can get married.”

“Really?!” Yin Yin looked at Ling Long in surprise.

“Really.” Ling Long answered and then gently kissed Yin Yin’s lips.

On this side, Spider Web is happily preparing for a happy event, while on the other side, Ji Yishuai is about to have a funeral.

Sure enough, everything was as Ling Long had predicted, and all the people in the Jianghu chased him for the <<Bronze Manual>>. Ji Yishuai hid from place to place, but he was no match for the pursuit of the whole Wulin and was finally blocked in Wild Fox Ridge.

“Ji Yishuai! Where else do you want to run?” Hu Dadao looked at Ji Yishuai angrily. A broad sword swayed in front of Ji Yishuai’s eyes. His legs softened and he fell to the ground.

“Do you think you’ll be fine once you leave the Jianghu? You can leave, but give up the <<Bronze Manual>> first!” The leader of the Yanshan Sect waved the horsetail whisk in his hand and swept it across Ji Yishuai’s bitter face.

Ji Yishuai was really driven into a corner. He looked at the people surrounding him and felt that this day next year would probably be his memorial day.

Oh! What a pity! The poor him hadn’t married a wife and had children, and also hadn’t defeated Ling Long yet. Is he going to die young just like this?

Ji Yishuai was thinking about all the regrets of his life when Gu Zibi’s beautiful face suddenly appeared in his mind. Under the repeated questioning of the people, like it was a work of deities and demons, he blurted out:

“I have sold the <<Bronze Manual>> to Gu Zibi, the young master of the Gu family!!!!!”

As soon as these words came out, the whole Wild Fox Ridge became quiet.

“Really?” Hu Dadao demonstratively raised the broadsword in his hand.

Ji Yishuai nodded desperately. “It’s more real than any pearl!”

After discussing it, everyone felt that this young master Gu has no morality. How could one swallow the secret book alone?!

So they finally let go of the poor Ji Yishuai and decided to march to the Gu Mansion.

But on the next day, there came a surprising news.

Gu Zibi, the Young Master of the Gu Family, he is…… a fool!
