Chapter 78: Crisis breaks out. You gaze into the past in high-dimensional space and time. You are also...

In front of the villa's carved iron gate, Gu Yifeng stood like a door god, a sneer on his face. He glanced at Guo Qingyu and said sarcastically, "Mr. Guo is really busy at night. He's either going to nightclubs or harassing other people's wives. He really doesn't have time to rest."

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you right now." Guo Qingyu looked past him, looking behind the closed door, his eyes filled with anxiety. "Where's Wen Yi? Is she feeling better? I need to see her urgently."

"See her? What qualifications do you have to see her?" Gu Yifeng's voice suddenly dropped, his fists clenched so tightly that they crackled. "I'm warning you one last time. Don't get close to my wife again."

Guo Qingyu's patience seemed to have run out. He suddenly dodged, bypassed his blockade, and shouted at the silent villa behind the door, "Wen Yi! Come out quickly! There's an accident at the nuclear power plant!"

The air froze instantly.

Gu Yifeng's eyes were bloodshot as he suddenly opened the iron gate and grabbed Guo Qingyu by the collar: "Killing is not against the law. I would have chopped you into fish feed long ago."

A fierce force tore through the air and headed towards Guo Qingyu.

The next second, Gu Yifeng's fist hit him hard in the face.

Guo Qingyu staggered to the ground, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, but he still smiled at him provocatively.

"Want to take a gamble?" He raised his hand and casually wiped away the blood. "She'll definitely come to see me."

Gu Yifeng laughed out of anger.

No man can tolerate someone else coveting his woman. What's wrong with this Guo guy? He's always been so evil, even daring to come to my house in the middle of the night. Does he think he's dead?

Gu Yifeng still couldn't figure out how the girl he had watched grow up in Yuexi Mountain got to know this fly. Their lives clearly had no intersection at all!

But this time, Wen Yi's cognition was problematic, and every time, the resort, the broken laboratory, and the nuclear power plant were mixed up with him.

During every sleepless night, Gu Yifeng kept pondering and doubting in his heart: Could it be that the two of them... really have had some past behind his back? Could it be that in another parallel time and space, they had once had... that kind of relationship?

No! Absolutely not! How could it be possible!

Even if she traveled back to the Tang Dynasty, she would only be his woman.

Thinking of this, Gu Yifeng's eyes turned cold. Damn, the most troublesome thing at the moment is this fly. If he doesn't get rid of this person completely, he will definitely continue to harass Wen Yi in the future.

He slowly moved his wrist, unable to conceal the murderous intent on his face. He had already planned in detail 1,000 ways to kill Guo Qingyu silently.

Death penalty! Immediate execution!

He opened his thin lips slightly, and said in a cold tone: "Dream on! You'll never see her again."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.

"Guo Qingyu! What happened to the nuclear power plant?"

Gu Yifeng: ...

No, this slap in the face came too quickly, didn't he? Doesn't he have any dignity?

He turned his head stiffly and saw Wen Yi wearing a coat and walking out of the door quickly with an anxious look on her face.

The corners of his mouth twitched.

It’s over, the show-off failed, the plan went bankrupt, and tonight’s “fly eradication operation” can only be put on hold for now.

He frowned and grabbed Wen Yi who was rushing over: "Why are you running!" His tone became stern, "Who would run like you when they are pregnant!" After scolding, he tightened his arms around her waist.

Wen Yi didn't bother to exchange pleasantries. She asked Guo Qingyu, who was lying on the ground, with a serious expression, "You said there was an accident at the nuclear power plant? What happened?"

He nodded and slowly got up from the ground: "Yes."

He looked extremely serious: "And the situation is more complicated than we expected."

Wen Yi frowned, feeling uneasy: "Is... history repeating itself?"

“We’re not there yet, but we’re probably not far off.”

Gu Yifeng's expression was icy, and he held Wen Yi's hand the whole time. She was still a little pale, and he was worried about her standing.

"Alright," he gritted his teeth. "If you want to talk, just say it. Let's talk inside. I'll give you 30 minutes—and then get out."

In the living room, Wen Yi was placed on the sofa by Gu Yifeng. He sat beside her, glanced at Guo Qingyu, and said against his will:

"sit."

After Guo Qingyu sat down, his eyes fell quietly on Wen Yi, but he didn't speak immediately.

Wen Yi glanced at Guo Qingyu's bruised face, then at Gu Yifeng's expressionless face, and always felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly." Gu Yifeng raised his hand exaggeratedly to check his watch, "You have 29 minutes left."

Guo Qingyu stopped talking nonsense, took out a special USB drive, and projected the file on the TV screen in the living room.

"This is the data just extracted from the nuclear power plant's internal system." He called up a data chart and enlarged it.

Two curves appeared on the screen - one was stable as usual; the other was fluctuating violently.

"This is the actual crustal stress data for the A7 area of ​​the nuclear power plant that I obtained through special channels." He pointed to the wildly fluctuating curve. "Clearly, the frequency of fault activity is over three times higher than normal."

Wen Yi's heart tightened, and her fingertips unconsciously rubbed her abdomen.

"Remember that time we used the time telescope?" Guo Qingyu looked at her. "After that, fault activity in the A7 region began to fluctuate, and the crustal stress data became abnormal."

"How could this happen?" she asked in confusion, "We clearly didn't do anything."

"My guess is that, in the process of looking back into the past, we inadvertently triggered the quantum observation effect. Once observation occurs, it changes the state of the system." He paused, glancing at the two of them. "Observation is intervention. Our 'looking' itself has already caused a disturbance in the timeline."

Gu Yifeng sneered: "So? Is this her fault? Isn't it you, the person in charge, who should bear the consequences?"

Guo Qingyu disdained to pay attention to him and looked at Wen Yi and said, "When we observed the past, we glimpsed a piece of history about the truth behind the nuclear power plant's site selection, right?"

Wen Yi pursed her lips and nodded slowly. "I remember them saying, 'There's no such fault activity here... It's as weird as if history has been tampered with.'"

"I've already found out their identities," Guo Qingyu continued, pulling up some old files. "They were the two geological engineers who were responsible for selecting the site for the nuclear power plant more than a decade ago."

The picture freezes on one of the geological reports, which is the original assessment left by the two engineers more than ten years ago.

"This is the actual geological assessment from back then." He clicked on the document. "Just as they said, there was no fault activity here at the time." Guo Qingyu's voice became increasingly serious. "But the reality is—since the nuclear power plant was built, fault activity that shouldn't have existed has begun to occur frequently."

Wen Yi's pupils shrank slightly: "You mean..."

Guo Qingyu nodded, his eyes complicated: "There are two possibilities."

"The first possibility is that the survey data was tampered with. The engineers received fake data, and the report submitted to the decision-makers was also flawed, leading them to make incorrect judgments."

He paused.

"The second possibility is even more terrifying—the initial reports were correct, and the nuclear power plant's location was indeed safe at the time. But at some point after its completion, some higher-dimensional force intervened and completely altered reality. It wasn't modifying the data, but rather the 'facts themselves.'"

"In other words..." He looked directly at her, "It's not that the data was replaced, but that the timeline was overwritten. The entire world was replaced."

"The world we live in is no longer the same world as it was before."

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

"Whatever it is, the fault activity is suddenly increasing. If we can't control it, the nuclear power plant will have an accident." He whispered, "It may not collapse the entire reactor, but it will be enough to cause a large-scale leak."

He looked at her meaningfully: "History will repeat itself."

Wen Yi's face changed, and the doomsday scene of dust floating in Qingluan Mountain suddenly appeared in front of her eyes again. She subconsciously tightened her fingers.

Gu Yifeng immediately noticed her uneasiness and pulled her into his arms. "I don't care about history repeating itself, timeline overwriting, or nuclear leaks. Those are not the problems I want to solve." He spoke calmly, his eyes slowly scanning Guo Qingyu. "I won't interfere with the nuclear power plant unless it directly threatens the safety of her and the child."

"But you can't hide now." Guo Qingyu looked at him, then at Wen Yi in his arms, and said slowly, "Because... no one can be immune to this matter."

"Have you ever thought about why the nuclear power plant started to show abnormalities just as we were touching the edge of the truth?"

Gu Yifeng frowned slightly and said nothing.

"This isn't a coincidence," Guo Qingyu continued to speculate. "You think you're looking back, but perhaps, in some higher dimension, something is also looking back at you."

"Every time we look back at history, it disturbs the timeline."

He paused, his voice lowering. “We thought we were uncovering secrets, but perhaps we were only allowed to uncover part of them.”

Guo Qingyu slowly shook his head, a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes. "It's even possible that they are leading us to a certain outcome."

Wen Yi finally raised her head, her face pale. "Are you saying... there are higher-dimensional beings controlling all this?"

"This is just my guess," Guo Qingyu said solemnly, "but this isn't just a matter of a nuclear power plant crisis. It involves something far more profound than we can imagine. Perhaps it's a political conspiracy, a struggle between superpowers and ordinary people, or perhaps... an invasion from a higher-dimensional civilization."

He turned to look at Gu Yifeng, his tone sharp: "Do you think you can stay out of this? No matter which possibility it is, you are not completely sure that you can protect yourself, let alone her."

"When the timeline is overwritten, all endings will be reset." Guo Qingyu curled his lips into a cold smile, "Perhaps in the next closed time loop, the ending of you and Wen Yi will also be rewritten. By then... who she will be with is hard to say."

"Time's up!" Gu Yifeng suddenly shouted, "Get out of my house!"

"Is it time?" Wen Yi was stunned for a moment, then she grabbed his watch and took a look. "It's not time yet!"

The corner of his eyes twitched fiercely. This guy knew how to make him angry to death!

"I said it's here. Get out of here before I throw you out!" Gu Yifeng's muscles were tensed to the limit, and his arms around Wen Yi suddenly tightened. He glared at Guo Qingyu and said word by word,

"If it's really as you say, then let those higher-dimensional beings come to see me in person!"

"Why, are you so anxious now?" Guo Qingyu smiled, with compassion in his eyes.

"Perhaps they've already been watching," he said calmly. "Ever since we first observed the past, they've been observing how humans respond to 'the truth.'"
