Nan Qu nodded: "Alright, let's get down to business. Since Xiao Xing'er is your son, it means you must be involved in what happened back then. And I am also involved. The key here is still with Gu Hancheng."

Su Ruoyan nodded: "Yes, the direction is right. But I've been keeping an eye on Gu Hancheng, and I haven't noticed anything unusual about him. So, you still need to push him to the limit before he does anything."

Nan Qu nodded: "I have another clue, but I need to retest your blood to confirm it. I'm fine now and can be discharged today."

Su Ruoyan said, "Let's observe for another day. You know, your condition was quite frightening, and your lips are pale and your face is very pale now. Don't make Nanxing worry."

Nan Qu couldn't explain that it was a problem with the soul, and there was nothing the hospital could do. However, thinking of Nan Xing's tears, she still gave in.

Since Su Ruoyan was an outsider, she naturally couldn't stay in bed with Nan Xing at night. In addition, with Nan Xing there, Nan Qu simply let the two of them go home.

Su Ruoyan and Nanxing left only after she assured them that she would press the nurse call button before any problems arose.

Seeing that there was no one else in the ward, Nan Qu entered the space, as she still had many questions she didn't understand.

Just as Nan Qu was about to walk towards the portal, she heard a mechanical voice from inside the space: "The space has been upgraded again. I can now talk to you directly."

Nanqu looked around warily, only finding some comfort in holding Regal in her arms.

After all, it was Regal who saved her twice.

After calming herself down, Nan Qu asked, "Was that person Nan Qu?"

"Yes, didn't you also discover this in modern times? That there is another soul inside you."

"So, one day in the future, she will replace me?"

Space gave its answer again: "No, her soul has already dissipated." Seemingly annoyed by Nan Qu's hesitant question, Space directly recounted the entire incident.

"According to the normal procedure, the apocalypse is a high-risk spacetime, and you are not qualified to enter the apocalypse with your abilities. It was Nanqu of the apocalypse who chose to use his soul as a sacrifice to open the spacetime gate ahead of time."

Nan Qu was shocked and asked incredulously, "Why would she do that? If she sacrificed her soul, why didn't she disappear?"

"She sacrificed her soul, but she tampered with it."

You've probably felt it too; in the apocalypse, even though you can sense the existence of space, you can't enter it because someone is watching.

Nan Qu nodded: "Yes, I also wanted to ask you, although I always habitually avoid people when entering the space, I remember that I could enter the space directly in front of Regal before. But this time I just couldn't get in."

"Because that laboratory, and the mask Nan Qu is wearing, both have soul-binding spells. The Nan Qu of the apocalypse is something that might happen sometime in the future. Under normal circumstances, the apocalypse timeline hasn't opened yet, so you naturally won't meet her."

Perhaps you will be injured in some time and space, and in your moment of vulnerability, the you hidden in your modern body will seize control of it. Given your personality, you will choose to abandon this world. And the emergence of a post-apocalyptic Southern Melody is not impossible.

Nan Qu understood, but still couldn't help asking the same question as before: "But why would she do that? Wouldn't it have been better if she just waited for me to leave?"

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed through Nan Qu's mind, but it was too fast for her to grasp.

The mechanical voice continued, "Because of memories! Because of the space, your memories and your martial prowess will be shared with every version of you in every timeline. Nanqu is the future you, and what you do will be shared with your modern body, and she is the future of that body. In other words, as long as you don't abandon your modern body, she knows everything you do."

Upon hearing this, Nan Qu got goosebumps all over. She recalled the grotesque way she had tried to kill herself in the apocalypse: "She wants to go back to the modern world?"

"It's not that she didn't have the idea, but she couldn't do it."

In fact, from the moment you came into this world, I received a request regarding the apocalypse. After I learned that the person was you from the future, I planted the seeds for this.
