Chapter 128: Everything resolved, time to leave~ Watching her go...

After watching her leave for the second time, the Crown Princess and the others looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

Toya subconsciously picked up a pastry and put it in her mouth, nodding repeatedly in praise: "Mmm, it tastes awful."

When Sang Zhitao returned, they had already eaten most of the food, which made Sang Zhitao breathe a sigh of relief.

Clutching her slightly uncomfortable stomach, Sang Zhitao sat back down next to Toya, instinctively moving a little further away.

Seeing her like this, the Crown Princess was somewhat worried. After thinking for a moment, she asked curiously, "You can eat?"

Sang Zhitao looked at the box of pastries with an expression of disbelief, then shook her head at the Crown Princess and said, "Delicious."

The Crown Princess looked surprised, glancing back and forth between the pastries and the mulberry peaches several times before asking, bewildered, "Why?"

Sang Zhitao was taken aback by the question. She thought for a moment before shaking her head.

The guard bowed and spoke a few words to the Crown Princess, interrupting what she was about to say to Sang Zhitao.

"Come to the palace," the Crown Princess said sharply to Sang Zhitao and Tuoya.

Sang Zhitao was carried onto the helicopter by Tuoya, and they flew all the way to the palace.

The Crown Princess did not take Sang Zhitao to see the Emperor; instead, she arranged accommodations for her in her own palace.

"Get up and rest," the Crown Princess said with a smile, patting her head.

Sang Zhitao was obedient and went into her room to rest.

Since then, the Crown Princess has never visited her again, nor has Toya, which makes Sang Zhitao somewhat worried.

Moreover, since leaving the laboratory, Sang Zhitao has never returned to Earth.

This situation lasted for half a month, and just as Sang Zhitao was becoming increasingly anxious, the Crown Princess finally came to see her.

"You're in danger." She took Sang Zhitao's hand. "Go with Toya."

Sang Zhitao looked at Toya in surprise, and Toya smiled and nodded.

For a moment, Sang Zhitao was somewhat bewildered.

That... solves it?

Seeing her like this, the Crown Princess smiled and handed her a bank card: "This is a reward, it's yours."

Sang Zhitao raised an eyebrow, took the bank card, and returned to the original town with Toya.

Seeing the familiar surroundings and her friend Mila, Sang Zhitao quickly ran a few steps and gave her a big hug: "I missed you so much, Mila~"

Mira smiled, took her hand, and told her about her recent experiences.

After Sang Zhitao warned her that day, she did not walk through that alley again that night, but she was still kidnapped after entering her home. Her parents were also kidnapped with her, which is why only Sang Zhitao recognized that she was not her.

Perhaps because those people needed to keep the test subjects in a suitable state for the experiment, Mira and the others did not suffer too much hardship in the early days; they basically only needed to have their blood drawn every day.

But this didn't last long. On the twentieth day after she entered the laboratory, she was taken to the drug lab, where she remained until three days before her rescue, when the ordeal finally ended.

When her body became too weak to undergo any more drug trials, she was sent to a rest house to recuperate and prepare for the next round of physical trials.

It was at this time that the Crown Princess and her entourage uprooted the entire mysterious organization and rescued Mira and the others.

Sang Zhitao held Mira's hand, her eyes filled with tears: "Then...then you..."

Her voice choked with sobs; she couldn't imagine the girl in front of her had suffered so much torment in the laboratory.

Mira patted her hand reassuringly: "His Highness has arranged for the Royal Hospital to treat us."

Sang Zhitao breathed a sigh of relief, chatted with her friend for a few more minutes, and then watched as her friend went home with her parents.

“Let’s go back too.” Sang Zhitao turned to look at Toya.

Toya nodded and followed her back to her home.

Looking at the house where a thin layer of dust had already covered the furniture, Sang Zhitao couldn't help but sigh softly: "Let's tidy up first."

The two tidied up briefly, ate something, and then, since it was already dark, they decided to rest first.

The next morning, Sang Zhitao ate her breakfast with difficulty, looked at Tuoya, and asked curiously, "What are you planning to do next?"

Toya pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Would you like to come with me?"

Sang Zhitao was not surprised that Tuoya would ask her this question. After all, when she left the palace, the Crown Princess had asked her if she was willing to live with Tuoya.

She didn't agree immediately, which is why Toya was willing to come back with her in the hope of persuading her.

However, after thinking about it, Sang Zhitao did not agree directly, but said, "I want to go back to my parents' laboratory first."

Toya paused for a moment before asking in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Sang Zhitao poked at her unappetizing breakfast with her chopsticks, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "There's something I need to confirm."

After hearing this, Toya didn't say anything more and simply nodded in agreement.

The two didn't linger. After finishing their meal, they went downstairs and hailed a taxi.

Now that Sang Zhitao has received a reward from the Crown Princess, she no longer feels the pinch when it comes to expensive things like taking a taxi.

The parents' laboratory was located between the town and the upside-down city, so Sang Zhitao and the others did not take long to reach their destination.

Returning to the dilapidated courtyard, and seeing the display shelves in the main house that had been repaired at the Crown Princess's behest, Sang Zhitao's eyes flashed with surprise.

Without delay, Sang Zhitao turned on the switch and entered the laboratory.

She had been thinking about what caused her to travel back and forth between the upside-down worlds, but she couldn't figure it out. After living in the palace for a few days and still not returning to Earth, she kept thinking that the key to this world must be in this laboratory.

Moreover, Sang Zhitao had not found the World Fragment during this period, and even asking the Crown Princess yielded no results. It was only after an unintentional reminder from a guard that she realized the opportunity might be related to the World Fragment, which led her to return to the laboratory.

The place has been cleaned up by the Crown Princess's people, and there is no trace of the chaos caused by the chase.

Sang Zhitao didn't waste time in a place like the bedroom, and went straight into the laboratory, which was the closest to her but which she had never been in before.

The laboratory had been cleaned. Sang Zhitao gave it a quick look and found nothing but some equipment and materials. All the written documents had been taken away by the Crown Princess's people.

She looked around, frowned, and left, but just as she was about to step out the door, she caught a glimpse of a corner out of the corner of her eye.

Sang Zhitao walked towards the glowing spot and discovered that there was a safe there.

She quickly squatted down, and the moment her hand touched the safe, the door opened.

Sang Zhitao frowned, and without hesitation, reached out and opened the door, only to find a palm-sized wooden box inside.

She clutched her chest, staring at the wooden box, knowing that this was the fragment of the world she had been searching for.

Toya followed behind her, watching her every move with a curious and puzzled expression.

Seeing her staring intently at a safe, he took two steps forward and said with a smile, "There is a safe here, but unfortunately we've tried everything and can't open it, or even move it out. You..."

Toya's smile froze the moment she saw the safe door open, and after a long pause, she asked in surprise, "What did you do? How did you open it?"

Sang Zhitao didn't reply to her, but simply reached out and took out the wooden box.

"What is this?" Toya frowned, looking warily at the wooden box.

Sang Zhitao rubbed her fingertips, thinking about how she would open the trade portal immediately after absorbing world fragments. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Help me contact the Crown Princess."

Toya looked puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Sang Zhitao's fingertips kept stroking the wooden box, and she smiled happily: "I'll show you a miracle."

Toya's scientist's intuition told her that something that would overturn her worldview was about to be revealed to her.

She quickly called the Crown Princess's bodyguard.

Not long after, the Crown Princess arrived in a hurry with her guards.

"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly let me pass?" The Crown Princess looked at Toya, whose face was filled with excitement, and then at Sang Zhitao, who was holding a wooden box and smiling happily.

Sang Zhitao held up the box: "I will show you a miracle, but it will take some time. Remember not to touch me no matter what happens later."

The Crown Princess looked at her with a puzzled expression. Sang Zhitao gently opened the wooden box, inside which was a statue the size of a thumb.

This statue is extremely peculiar, consisting of two pairs of men and women, one above the other. The upper pair is a man and woman back to back, with the man having a large belly and holding an infant in his arms, while the woman has a sharp gaze and holds a dagger.

Below is an even more peculiar scene: a tall woman carries a petite man on her shoulders, both of them holding sharp blades.

"This is...?" The Crown Princess looked at the statue with surprise.

Sang Zhitao looked up at her, about to ask why she was so surprised, when the statue melted into a handful of green water, which rushed into her chest before Sang Zhitao could react.

"Your Highness!" The guard saw the green light suddenly appear on Sang Zhitao's body and quickly pulled the Crown Princess back.

After the group retreated to a corner of the room, they discovered that Toya was looking at Sang Zhitao, who was surrounded by green light, with a look of infatuation, and even dared to reach out and touch the green light.

The Crown Princess quickly gave the guard a wink.

The guard's expression changed drastically, and he immediately dragged her over.

Before Toya could react, the Crown Princess looked at her coldly and asked, "Do you remember Mia's instructions?"

Toya had already come to her senses by then, and with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face, she guiltily moved to the side.

After seeing that she was obedient, the Crown Princess frowned and stared intently at Sang Zhitao, who was enveloped in green light.

The guard whispered in her ear, "It's definitely that statue."

The Crown Princess glanced at her and said, "Go to the Empress Dowager's bedroom and take the things there."

The guards immediately obeyed and left with their men.

The remaining guards turned around and brought her and Toya comfortable chairs, and then brought out some snacks and tea from the kitchen.

The two sat comfortably to one side, waiting for Sang Zhitao to appear in the green light.

Instead of retracing her memories as usual, Sang Zhitao's soul entered a story.
