Chapter 75 Dilemma? Time and space disorder!
The appearance of the seventh fragment caused a violent shock of energy in Xiaobai's body.
She felt as if her chest was being burned by a branding iron, and a scalding heat flowed along her meridians straight to her fingertips, trying to attract the fragments.
Xiaobai clenched his fists fiercely, his nails digging deeply into his palms, forcibly cutting off the attraction between the energy in his body and the fragments, suppressing the restless energy. He must not let Su Po and the others notice anything unusual!
"Are you... okay?" Su Po silently took two steps back, holding the fragments tightly in his hand.
"It's okay. I suddenly felt hungry. Let him take the pieces while I go eat something nearby."
Xiaobai patted Tang Jingmo, stepped aside, took out a piece of candy from his pocket, peeled off the candy wrapper, and put it in his mouth to chew.
Tang Jingmo retracted his worried look, looked at Su Po, and stretched out his hand: "Thank you, Consultant Su."
Su Po glanced at Xiaobai who was standing far away, pursed his lips, threw the fragments to Tang Jingmo, turned around and left.
Not far away, Mu Shengyu and his men were busy working on the cliff.
They held special cinnabar pens and drew intricate patterns on the colorful rock surface.
Those lines crisscrossed and vaguely formed a huge star map matrix.
"This is..." Xiaobai was curious and wanted to get closer to take a look, but was pushed aside by several assistants.
They pasted yellow paper covered with black horizontal, vertical, and diagonal stripes on the formation according to a certain pattern.
"Could this be the legendary formation and talisman? Did our ancestors really have cultivators? I thought the novels I read about the end of the world were all made up."
Xiaobai stroked his chin and found it more and more interesting the more he looked at it.
"Chinese civilization has been around for more than 5,000 years, and there are so many things hidden in the long river of history. This is probably just a drop in the ocean."
Tang Jingmo wrapped the fragment with his mental power, temporarily isolating its aura, before daring to approach Xiaobai.
"Awesome! I'm convinced!" Not only did the two of them stand by and not help, they also pointed and whispered.
Mu Shengyu suddenly turned around and glared at them: "You two!"
The veins on his forehead were throbbing. "Are you thinking this is a monkey show? Come here and get ready. Activate the formation immediately."
Xiao Bai blinked, looking innocent and confused: "Prepare? Prepare for what?"
Mu Shengyu choked and said, forget it, they are just juniors, why bother about it.
He carefully took out a piece of metal fragment from a box: "Take it! When I say 'release' later, throw it towards the shock point!"
He pointed specifically to the bronze hexagram nail in the southeast corner.
"Be careful, this is the energy meteorite that Professor Su Xiao risked his life to retrieve. If you lose it, you won't be able to afford the compensation even with your ten lives!"
Su Xiao? !
Xiaobai and Tang Jingmo were extremely surprised in their hearts, but they did not show it on their faces. It seemed that the research Su Xiao did in Longshen Mountain was not just as simple as archaeology.
"Get started!" Mu Shengyu gave an order and the formation was activated.
However, the fragments in Tang Jingmo's hand did not react at all.
"What's going on?" Mu Shengyu touched his head. The process must be correct, so why is there no response? Could it be that the fragments are not the source of energy?
Su Po, who was standing aside with his hands behind his back, called out directly:
"Xiaobai, come and get the fragments."
"Amu, restart the formation!"
Xiaobai had no choice but to raise his index finger and gently pinch a corner of the fragment between his thumb and index finger, praying silently in his heart that it would not be absorbed right away, at least take its time so that he could make up a story to explain it later.
The obscure runes on the cliff wall glowed with a strange green light under the moonlight.
The fragments that had been unresponsive before emitted a golden glow in Xiaobai's hands, and the excited voices of Mu Shengyu and others came to his ears.
"Advisor Su, there is a reaction, there is a reaction, you are right, this fragment is the energy source!"
Xiaobai wanted to ask something, but the space in front of him suddenly twisted.
They fell into a rift in time and space.
As the world spun around, Xiaobai felt himself being torn into countless pieces and then reassembled.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself standing in a gray wilderness. The sky was a strange purple-red. In the distance, countless broken images were suspended, which seemed to be fragments of scenes from different time and space.
"Xiao An!" Tang Jingmo suddenly pointed to the left.
Xiaobai turned his head and saw a fighter plane standing still in the air two meters above the ground, as if the pause button had been pressed.
In the cockpit, Xiao An closed his eyes.
The two rushed towards the fighter plane, but were blocked by a transparent barrier halfway.
Fine words appeared on the barrier:
[Records of the 1957 Longshen Mountain Survey]
Team leader: Su Xiao (Professor of paleontology of the archaeological team, member of the 976 Bureau)
Discovery: The carvings on the Longtou Cliff have a time-space targeting effect
Accident: Su Xiao fell into a coma after coming into contact with the scratch...
The text suddenly twisted and turned into a blurry image.
Young Su Xiao stood in front of the rock wall, her hands pressed against the inscriptions. Her abdomen was strangely bulging, and her face was as pale as paper.
The researchers around were in a mess, and someone shouted: "Professor Su is only three or four months pregnant, how could she..."
The image stopped abruptly.
"This is impossible..." Xiaobai muttered. According to the age, this video should have happened eighteen years ago.
"Look over there!" Tang Jingmo pulled Xiaobai's hand.
The gray fog in front of my eyes slowly dissipated, just like a stage curtain being slowly opened, and the image reappeared.
Su Xiao, who was pregnant, wore black pants and a military green cotton jacket. She climbed up Longshen Mountain alone at night and walked towards Longtou Cliff.
Her belly was as big as a bucket and she was about to give birth at any time. It was heartbreaking to see her. There was no one around her, and no one knew why she went up the mountain alone.
Su Xiao walked to the front of the carvings on Longtou Cliff, closed her eyes, stroked the lines, and felt the language from another world. She muttered to herself, but she couldn't hear what she was saying.
Her bulging belly slowly emitted a faint blue light.
The sky was covered with dark clouds and heavy rain was pouring down.
Soon, a voice called out from a distance, "Professor Su, Professor Su..."
The blue light disappeared, Lidya Su slowly sat down holding his stomach, his face showing pain.
Xiaobai and Tang Jingmo ran over quickly, wanting to help, but their bodies passed through Su Xiao, through the rain curtain, and returned to the starting point again.
It is clearly happening right before my eyes, but it seems like a mirror world, visible but untouchable.
"Hey, someone come quickly, Professor Su is about to give birth!"
The team members who came to look for Su Xiao shouted everywhere, and several of them made a simple stretcher using local materials and carried Su Xiao down the mountain.
The old village chief was woken up by someone knocking on his door in the middle of the night. Among all the people present, only his wife had some experience in delivering babies, so she had to go ahead and do it.
After a busy period, a baby girl was finally born successfully. However, Professor Su had used up all her strength, and after hurriedly saying a few words, she closed her eyes forever.
The scene slowly fades away here.
Just as Xiaobai was about to open his mouth to say something, the scene in front of him reappeared, and the young Su Xiao appeared again, exactly the same as the previous image.
"Time overlap caused by space-time disorder!" Tang Jingmo whispered, "We must rescue Xiao An as soon as possible and find a way out, otherwise we will be trapped in the present!"
"Okay, cooperate with me. Add your spiritual power to my vines. I don't believe that I can't break them!"
Xiao An and the fighter plane were hovering not far away. Xiao Bai made up his mind and just after he finished speaking, he felt a wave in the air.
With a "pop", something broke.
Tang Jingmo's mental power immediately sensed, "The barrier is broken!"
"This thing is soft-hearted and afraid of hard things? And it can even understand what people say?!" Xiaobai sneered.
