Chapter 83: Traveling back for him and asking him, I am willing to save you alive...

Inside an old rental house in Yunhu City

A thin man sat at the table. On the table was a cup of cold tea and an ashtray full of cigarette butts.

The TV was still interrupting the evening news: "...Construction of the Qingluanshan Nuclear Power Plant was completed ahead of schedule and is expected to become the largest source of electricity in the Yunnan Triangle region."

"The project leader stated that all geological assessments and safety standards are in compliance with national standards..."

The man scratched his messy hair in annoyance. He reached for the remote control but couldn't find it.

He stood up suddenly, rushed to the TV, and pressed the power button hard.

The screen went black.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

"Ding-ding-ding-" The cell phone on the table suddenly rang. He quickly turned back and picked up the phone.

"What's up?"

"Zhou Yazheng, why haven't you paid child support this month?" a woman's voice came from the phone. "Why do you always have to call me to urge me? Is the child mine alone?"

"Got it." He continued pulling at his hair, his voice hoarse, "I'll find a solution right away."

"How long do you have to wait? Give me a definite answer." The other party paused. "Have you found a job?"

“It’s almost there…”

"You're not still staying at home, are you? It's been so long and you still haven't found a job?" She sneered. "It's a good thing I divorced you. Otherwise, I'd be starving if I followed you."

"Have you said enough?!" He suddenly raised his voice. "I want you to care?!"

"Do I want to take care of you?" the woman on the other end of the phone continued to chatter. "What kind of loser ruined his own stable job and now owes his son living expenses? You're useless and you don't allow anyone to say..."

Zhou Yazheng couldn't stand it any longer, so she hung up the phone and slammed it on the bed.

His chest heaved violently, and he sat back at the table and took a big gulp of tea.

Wen Yi stood behind him, her eyes sweeping across the messy pile of newspapers and magazines on the table. The title of the top one was vaguely visible: "Former project team member Zhou is suspected of spreading rumors and has been suspended for investigation." Next to the magazine, there was a rent collection notice.

Zhou Yazheng sat in silence for a moment, then slowly picked up the paper and pen on the table and wrote, "I'm not a rumormonger. I'm simply someone abandoned by the truth and this world."

He didn't know that this was not the case. At this moment, there was someone behind him, traveling through time and space for him.

Wen Yi stood in the void, gazing at his back. After she learned that Zhou Yazheng would be driven to despair by the "Suwei Project" and eventually commit suicide by cutting his wrists, she began to discuss with Guo Qingyu and others how to save his life.

They traced back using the suicide weapon recorded in the police files - the knife - as an anchor.

Now, she stood at the fork in his destiny.

She stood there, watching him suffer and struggle, and finally, in despair, began to write a suicide note.

And all this was caused by a note from her.

Guo Qingyu's voice came from his ears: "How are you going to save him?"

"Not sure..." Wen Yi said solemnly, "Let's try taking his knife away first."

"You can't save someone who's determined to die." Guo Qingyu reminded her, "Wen Yi, I know you feel guilty, but remember our agreement. You can only intervene once and you must not change the course of history."

"I understand." She nodded in the air, "I'll do my best."

Xiao Yishan couldn't help but speak up: "Wen Yi, although our calculations show that his death outcome is a variable node, it doesn't mean that you will be able to successfully change his fate."

"It's difficult to directly change an individual's fate," Lu Zhiyu added in a low voice, "and there's still a high chance you'll fail completely."

"I understand what you're saying." Wen Yi whispered, "I just want to try once. I want him to live."

She watched the man write his suicide note silently, her back twitching uncontrollably, and she was overwhelmed by intense despair and sadness.

This was a deviation in their experiment, and Zhou Yazheng shouldn't have to bear the consequences alone.

At least he shouldn't have given up his life like this.

As he stood up and walked towards the bathroom, holding the knife tightly in his hand, a clear female voice suddenly rang in his ears:

[Let Go] The voice doesn’t sound like a real person, but it echoes in my ears realistically.

Zhou Yazheng stood there in shock.

"who?!"

He quickly turned around, but the room was empty. He thought it was just hallucination and continued walking.

【the truth】

The voice rang out again, as if coming from inside his head.

He stood there for a long time without moving.

"He heard it." Xiao Yishan stared at the screen, "The inter-dimensional voice transmission was successful."

"But whether you can listen to it or not is another matter." Lu Zhiyu said softly.

Guo Qingyu stood aside, his eyes fixed on Zhou Yazheng on the screen: "It's not easy to let go completely."

【The note is】【Facts】

You are right.

Zhou Yazheng was stunned when he heard this.

Wen Yi, in the void, earnestly and carefully told him the truth, word by word. She didn't tell him everything, but she told him enough to keep him alive.

Zhou Ya was standing in the middle of the room, her eyes changing from shock to confusion, and finally to silence.

It was dinner time, and the lively sounds of pots and pans came from the neighbor's house, but in this house, only the truth that had come to light resounded through the quiet night.

In the flickering light outside the window, he slowly squatted down and said over and over again in a trembling voice:

"That's good..."

"That's enough..."

The laughter of adults and children could be heard faintly from next door, making the sounds from another world seem like the real world.

I Wish to Save You

[Alive][Good]

Zhou Yazheng slowly loosened his hand, and the dagger fell to the ground with a slight sound.

The suppressed sobs were heartbreaking.

"I still want to live... I don't want to die."

The night before a life-or-death decision is always extra long. Zhou Ya was sitting on the ground with her knees hugged, looking out the window at the dark night.

He didn't seem to care who Wen Yi was or where she came from. He just wanted to talk to the last person who hadn't given up on him in this quiet moment.

He kept asking questions, his voice full of confusion:

"I was clearly telling the truth... I could have saved many lives, so why did this happen to me?"

She looked at him and sighed in her heart. She couldn't give an answer to this question.

Wen Yi stayed with him all night, watching his eyes slowly become clear from being blank.

Zhou Yazheng was silent for a long time, as if chewing on every word she said.

Finally, he stood up, walked to the window, looked at the morning light, and whispered:

"Thank you... for giving me the courage to survive." He paused, then changed the subject, "You're from the future, aren't you?"

Wen Yi looked at him and felt a slight shock in her heart.

He actually guessed it.

【yes】

Wen Yi looked at him, considered it over again and again, and finally gave an answer.

After saying this, she felt relieved. Fortunately, the task was completed.

*

In the Suwei laboratory, Wen Yi slowly opened her eyes and took off the time-seeing device.

The long period of synchronization made her extremely tired, but she was excited at the moment and couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth slightly.

She stepped down from the console, her steps becoming lighter.

But as soon as she stood still, she realized that the atmosphere was wrong. Guo Qingyu and the others were looking at her seriously.

Wen Yi's heart skipped a beat.

"What's wrong?"

Guo Qingyu's tone was extremely serious: "Wen Yi, it's not over yet."

"What do you mean..." Her voice trembled a little, "What happened?"

"Things are taking a turn for the worse." Xiao Yishan's voice was filled with pity. "He hasn't let go of his obsession. Instead, he's fallen deeper into despair and anger. He'll do something even more extreme in the future."

Wen Yi thought she had heard wrongly.

"Are you kidding? He just..."

"Wen Yi." Guo Qingyu interrupted her, "I said, no algorithm can calculate human nature."

"Through our behavioral model analysis of Zhou Yazheng, we discovered that although you successfully prevented him from committing suicide, he was unable to accept that his sacrifice was meaningless and decided to prove his point with his own death."

"His mental state is deteriorating, and his behavior is becoming increasingly extreme. He's not only planning to disclose the hidden dangers of the nuclear power plant, but also to expose our existence. He wants to tell everyone that we're 'disturbing time and space.'"

There was a loud bang in Wen Yi's head, and all her senses were instantly crushed into nothingness.

Lu Zhiyu handed her the tablet in his hand and said, "He will cause a major accident in the future, resulting in the deaths of innocent people, social panic, and even affecting the fate of the nuclear power plant project."

Her body trembled slightly, and she did not reach out to take the tablet.

"Wen Yi, we can't allow this to happen," Guo Qingyu said sternly. "We must be held accountable for this. Whether it's the deviation from the main historical storyline or the 'leakage of space-time disturbances,' it could trigger the feedback mechanism of higher-dimensional civilizations."

Wen Yi was on the verge of a breakdown. She said with a half-smile, "I just wanted to save someone, why did it end up like this?"

She slowly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was no light in them.

"What am I really doing? Am I really 'correcting' history? Or am I just...making new mistakes?"

The atmosphere in the laboratory was tense and solemn.

"The calculation model shows that he will take action soon," Xiao Yishan whispered. "Once he successfully reveals the truth to the public, the timeline will be drastically shifted. The consequences will be unimaginable and may even trigger the intervention of higher-dimensional civilizations."

"We don't have much time."

Wen Yi's body was shaky and she could hardly stand. Guo Qingyu and Lu Zhiyu reached out to support her at the same time.

"Is there any way to remedy this now?" she asked softly.

"The Time Peeping Device's perturbations are no longer effective." Guo Qingyu made a decisive decision. "We've decided to cooperate with Zero Labs and use the Time Anchor to send you directly back."

"What?" Wen Yi's voice trembled slightly. "Didn't you say that this kind of time travel would cause a more serious historical deviation?"

Guo Qingyu nodded slowly: "Yes. But we have no choice."

"We can only use the most extreme means to prevent the most extreme results."

Wen Yi looked at them blankly: "Then...what should I do after I go back?"

The three people on the opposite side fell silent again.

After a moment, Guo Qingyu raised his head, his eyes cold. "After countless calculations, we haven't found a way to keep him alive while preventing a major deviation from history."

He chose his words carefully and said, "There is only one way."

"seal."

Wen Yi raised her head abruptly, her voice rising suddenly:

"seal?!"

"Is that what I understood?"

There was dead silence in front of the console.

Guo Qingyu nodded slowly: "That's right."

"We can only let him keep the secret and remain silent forever."

"This... this isn't intervention." She frowned and shook her head vigorously. "This is murder."

"This isn't murder," Guo Qingyu said calmly. "This is 'correction.'"

"If he continues to exist, history will collapse irreversibly. If he disappears, everything can return to normal."

After hearing this, Wen Yi found it funny, so she laughed, and as she laughed, tears began to flow.

"Have you forgotten?" Her voice was soft, like a sigh, "I did all this to save him."

The last time she traveled back through time was to ask him: I am willing to save you, would you like to stay alive?

Now she wants to travel back again, but with another sentence: If you can't live, how about dying?

She recalled the man in the rental house trembling and saying, "I still want to live... I don't want to die."

But reality didn't give her any time to think.

"Let's go!" Guo Qingyu picked up his coat, "Let's go to the Zero Lab now."
