Chapter 62: Local Perturbation A subtle change appeared in her familiar history...

A voice entered his ears: "Mrs. Gu."

Wen Yi suddenly opened her eyes and looked up at the person who came.

A nurse, wearing a well-tailored white uniform and with a gentle smile, stood before her, holding an electronic tablet in her hand.

"Mrs. Gu, it's your turn. Please follow me."

She was stunned.

——Mrs. Gu?

She... is really back?

Wen Yi blinked subconsciously to confirm she was awake. Then she slowly sat up, her movements a little slow, her mind still in a state of confusion.

She looked around and found herself sitting in a luxurious waiting area.

The off-white leather sofa is elegant and comfortable, and the mahogany coffee table in front is decorated with imported flowers, which have a pleasant fragrance.

Looking up, a crystal chandelier dangles from the soaring dome, shimmering brightly. A floor-to-ceiling window frames the nearby wall, reflecting the city skyline beyond, creating a tranquil and beautiful scene.

This doesn't look like a hospital, it looks more like the lobby of a five-star hotel.

Why is she here?

"Mrs. Gu?" the nurse asked gently, a hint of concern in her eyes. "Are you okay?"

"Are you calling... me?" she asked in a daze.

"Yes, please follow me."

She stood up without knowing why, her legs felt a little weak, but she still followed the nurse to the clinic.

When she passed the glass curtain wall, she suddenly stopped. In the reflection of the mirror, she saw a stranger.

Her features remained unchanged, her makeup was elegant, and her clothes were more refined than before. She reached out and touched her waist-length hair, a look of surprise in her eyes: Her hair... when did it grow so long?

She calmed her chaotic thoughts and continued walking forward.

When I walked into the clinic, I saw a doctor sitting at the desk, looking down at the documents in his hands.

Hearing the noise, he raised his head, put on a professional smile, and said in a gentle tone: "Mrs. Gu, please sit down."

She sat down nervously, her hands resting stiffly on her knees. She took a deep breath and finally asked the question that puzzled her: "Why... do you all call me Mrs. Gu?"

The doctor was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "We fully respect your wishes. Can we call you Miss Wen?"

"Ah... OK, OK." She nodded blankly.

The doctor gently closed the medical record in his hand and looked at her: "Let's get started, Miss Wen, how are you feeling recently?"

Wen Yi's heart skipped a beat and she felt inexplicably anxious.

What do you mean, is she sick?

Her brows furrowed tighter and tighter: "Excuse me...what are we doing?"

The air in the clinic was stagnant for a second.

The doctor's tone remained gentle, as if he had anticipated her reaction. "Please relax. This is just a routine assessment, and it's also the basis for our treatment plan."

"Treatment?" She widened her eyes slightly, and there was a hint of uneasiness in her voice. "I don't understand. What do I need treatment for?"

"Have you experienced any memory loss, confusion, or cognitive impairment recently?" He looked at her quietly.

The more Wen Yi listened, the more outrageous it seemed to her. She had just traveled through time and space, and there was nothing wrong with her brain. Her memory was even terrifyingly strong.

They are the ones who are sick!

She stood up suddenly, and the chair made a sharp sound on the floor.

"Sorry, I think I should go." There was obvious resistance in her voice.

"Of course," he said immediately, "if you need anything, you can always contact us."

Wen Yi grabbed her bag and pushed the door open as if escaping.

The doctor looked towards the door and remained silent for a long time.

The nurse said softly, "Doctor Pei, she still... has made no progress today."

He sighed softly and closed the medical record in his hand.

Wen Yi quickly returned to the waiting area and sat back on the sofa to sort out her thoughts.

The doctor's inexplicable words were still echoing in my mind.

The situation after waking up was so different from what she had imagined. What was going on?

She looked down at the small bag she was carrying, then opened the zipper. There wasn't much inside.

A set of house keys, a set of car keys, a wallet, and a cell phone.

The funny thing is that these things clearly belong to her, but she feels so unfamiliar with them.

She picked up the bunch of house keys and looked at them carefully.

She was sure she had never seen it before and didn't know where to open the door. She frowned and simply threw it back into her bag.

Then came the car keys. Apart from being certain that it was a BMW, even the license plate was unknown, and they were also thrown into her bag by her.

Then she opened the wallet she had never seen before. It was so thin that there was only a black credit card and her ID card.

This was the certificate she prepared before going down the mountain. There was no problem with it, which made her feel a little relieved.

But that credit card...she had no recollection of it at all, so she put it aside for now.

Finally, she picked up the phone.

The screen lit up, and the screensaver was the system's default dark blue background, which was monotonous and boring, but it was very consistent with her habit of not often checking her phone.

The date displayed on the phone was shortly after she participated in the "Zero Project".

It seems that she really returned to the original time.

Wen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, tapped the screen with her fingertips, and entered the unlock password.

[Wrong password]

Wen Yi: ...? !

She tried again.

[Wrong password]

She didn't give up and tried several common number combinations - birthday, the last few digits of ID card number...but all failed.

[The phone is locked, please try again in 10 minutes]

Wen Yi: ...

She stared at the screen, speechless. Now she began to believe that there was something wrong with her memory, otherwise how could she not even remember her phone password?

She stroked her long hair irritably, then thought, since she couldn't figure it out here, she might as well go directly to the Investigation Bureau to find Gu Yifeng.

Standing in the parking lot of this private hospital, Wen Yi was looking for her mysterious BMW with her car keys, her eyes sweeping over the rows of neatly parked vehicles.

She pressed the find car button and waited for a response.

...No response.

She continued walking forward, trying almost all the parked BMWs, but still couldn't find the car that belonged to her, which attracted the attention of the security guard.

Wen Yi: ...It really is a misunderstanding.

She tactfully left the parking lot immediately.

Forget it, if I can’t find a car, it’s the same to take a taxi.

Standing at the hospital entrance, she hailed a taxi.

"Go to the National Security Investigation Bureau building."

Wen Yi looked at the familiar streets of Yunhu City outside the car window, and recalled those chaotic days, her heart was filled with emotions.

Fortunately, she would be able to see Gu Yifeng soon. Her heartbeat quickened slightly, and she couldn't tell whether it was out of nervousness or anticipation.

The taxi stopped in front of the Investigation Bureau building. At this moment, she finally felt like she was "back".

The front desk clerk looked up and asked in a routine manner: "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"I want to find Gu Yifeng from the seventh game."

The other party was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Miss, there is no one named Gu Yifeng in the seventh round."

Wen Yi was stunned.

By the way, Gu Yifeng went with her to the Zero Lab under the identity of Wen Zhiyao. He is indeed no longer in the Investigation Bureau.

She asked tentatively, "Then...what about Gao Yiyuan, Ni Qianfan and the others in the seventh game?"

To her surprise, the other party still shook his head and said firmly: "No."

What is going on?

Could it be that once Gu Yifeng left, all his men were killed along with him?

"Is there any way to find them? For example, past contact information."

"This information is not publicly available. Sorry."

Wen Yi was silent for a few seconds, then turned and left the Investigation Bureau building with a complicated expression.

This was once the place where she had the deepest connection with after she came down the mountain, but now...

She clenched her fists, her fingertips feeling cold.

Then where will he be?

Wen Yi stood at the door of the Investigation Bureau, looking at the familiar building, and her mood gradually became restless.

Everything after returning seems familiar, but also vaguely strange.

But she couldn't tell what went wrong.

Since the Investigation Bureau couldn't find any information about Gu Yifeng, she changed direction - her eyes swept across the Yunhu City Public Security Bureau which was right next to the Investigation Bureau.

She thought of someone: Dai Yiming.

Since they are good friends, there is no reason why they can't find Gu Yifeng.

She walked into the Public Security Bureau and quickly found Dai Yiming's forensic office.

The door was ajar, so she knocked casually and pushed it open without waiting for a response.

Inside the room, Dai Yiming was whispering to a tall plainclothes policeman. The two looked up, both startled.

"Who are you looking for?" Dai Yiming spoke first, his tone full of surprise.

"Director Dai, long time no see." She smiled, her eyes swept across the unfamiliar policeman, and then fell back on Dai Yiming, "I have something to ask you."

"Are you looking for me?" Dai Yiming glanced at the policeman beside him with a complicated look.

She didn't care and briefly recounted what happened at the Investigation Bureau where she couldn't find any information about Gu Yifeng.

"So I want to ask you, is there any way to contact Gu Yifeng?"

After the words were spoken, the office fell into a brief silence.

Dai Yiming was completely confused. "Why are you asking me this? I don't know him well."

This time it was Wen Yi's turn to be surprised: "How is that possible? Aren't you two good friends?"

"We're not even colleagues." Dai Yiming paused, his eyes glancing at the man beside him again. "Apart from necessary work contact, we don't have any personal relationship. Did you find the wrong person?"

Wen Yi was completely stunned.

This is not the tone Dai Yiming should use when talking about Gu Yifeng.

They clearly had a very good relationship in private, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were close friends, but now...

The vague feeling of uneasiness gradually grew.

She could only ask softly: "Then is there any way you can help me find Gu Yifeng?"

Before Dai Yiming could answer, the tall policeman next to him, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up: "I can try to help you find him."

She subconsciously looked at the man, frowning slightly.

"How can you help me?" she asked tentatively. "Is this also within the scope of your police duties?"

He replied calmly and solemnly, "If you have any difficulties, you can come to me. I will do my best to help you solve them." He thought for a moment and added, "You can try. Trust me."

Wen Yi looked at his face, her heartbeat inexplicably quickening. But she still felt something was not right.

She simply replied, "Thank you, but I'll go find him myself."
