Looking at the translated contents, Liu Mingfeng and his two companions couldn't help but sigh. No matter the era, it's always a dog-eat-dog world. However, the three of them also admired the master; not only had he amassed so much gold and silver, but he had also used mechanical arts to bring it here. They had all seen the gold and silver in the cave—it was truly a considerable amount.
As the three were sighing, a ball of light flew out from nowhere. After it flew out, the ball of light circled around the three of them. Following the human instinct to avoid harm and seek good fortune, the three of them dodged in all directions. However, Liu Mingfeng was unable to move due to injuries to his hands and feet, and the ball of light hit him head-on and pierced his forehead.
Seeing this, Feng Minghao sighed inwardly. It was finally about to begin; their plan was about to start. Thinking this, Feng Minghao and Zhang Jianjun ran towards Liu Mingfeng's direction. Zhang Jianjun, in particular, was extremely anxious. He didn't know what that ball of light was. If it was something bad, how could he explain it to his sister-in-law? She had just given birth to two infants; if anything happened to Liu Mingfeng, he didn't know how he would survive.
Just as the two of them were about to reach him, Liu Mingfeng was trapped inside something like a dome. Fearing something might happen to Liu Mingfeng, the two of them frantically pounded on the dome. Zhang Jianjun even fired a few shots, but the thing that was covering Liu Mingfeng didn't budge an inch, and it remained unharmed even after being shot several times.
The two men had no choice but to frantically pound on it from the outside, trying to break it open. As they pounded on it, Liu Mingfeng inside opened his eyes, and Zhang Jianjun and the other man looked on in horror when they saw his eyes.
The whites of the eyes were now a strange silver-gray, while the pupils, which were originally black, were pink. The two men were stunned by the strange eyes. Even Feng Minghao, who knew that these were just colored contact lenses that Liu Mingfeng was wearing, was still taken aback. Who would have thought that Liu Mingfeng would choose such a bizarre color? Can you imagine that a person who looks extremely masculine would have pink eyes?
The two men stared in horror at Liu Mingfeng, whose pink eyes were wide open, as he pinched and tossed himself, a look of delight on his face. The more they looked, the more terrified they became, especially Zhang Jianjun. Although there was an advocacy to overthrow all demons and monsters, it seemed that the Chinese people had always maintained a belief in spirits and ghosts. Now, Zhang Jianjun feared that some wandering ghost had possessed Liu Mingfeng's body. Before Zhang Jianjun could even open his mouth to ask, he heard Feng Minghao beside him ask the pink-eyed Liu Mingfeng in a trembling voice.
"What are you? What did you do to my cousin? Get out of my cousin's body right now and give him back."
Liu Mingfeng, with his pink eyes, tilted his head and looked at Feng Minghao when he heard his question.
"You're this body's cousin, huh? Don't worry, I'm not a wandering ghost. I won't cling to his body. I'm just borrowing it for now. What time is it? Never mind, you don't need to answer. I'll find out myself."
After saying this, Liu Mingfeng stretched out a hand, put his index and middle fingers together, and touched his temple. Then he closed his eyes. After a while, he opened his eyes.
"It's 1971 now, so there's still time. Let me reintroduce myself to my fascinating ancestors. Hello, I am your descendant. My name is An, which means peace and prosperity for the country. Of course, you can also call me Hua An, Hua from the Chinese character for China."
"I need to see your highest leader. Of course, if you don't believe me, I can show you this."
As Liu Mingfeng finished speaking, a book appeared out of thin air in front of each of them. The book floated in mid-air and automatically flipped to the page they needed to see.
In front of Zhang Jianjun was a primary school textbook, with the name on the first page. The more Zhang Jianjun looked at the words, the paler they became. After finishing that section, he looked up, ready to ask a question, when the books in front of him and Feng Minghao were switched.
The biography before him detailed the subject's birth date, death date, and life experiences—all meticulously documented. Upon reading this, Zhang Jianjun swayed precariously. He knew the two individuals described were of paramount importance to the nation; if the account were true, it would be a devastating blow to them.
Seeing that the two people had finished reading, especially Zhang Jianjun, Liu Mingfeng closed the book after Zhang Jianjun finished reading. He then placed both books in front of Zhang Jianjun, who trembled as he reached out and accepted them.
"If everything here is true, then from which year did you come? What brought you here? What do you need me to do?"
“I came from 2477. We had already experienced the apocalypse back then. You might not understand what the apocalypse means. It's when the world is destroyed and humanity dies on a large scale. In order to change the fate of humanity’s imminent extinction, we tried every possible method to send me to this time, hoping to change the past and make the future lead to a different ending.”
"What you need to do now is take me to see Number One. What I bring can at least improve the current level of technology. And the sooner the better, because I don't have much time."
Zhang Jianjun had already made up his mind to send the person who had taken over Liu Mingfeng's body to the capital. After reading those two books, Zhang Jianjun was taking a "better safe than sorry" approach, hoping that if what was written in the books was true, this person could change the fate of the two men. However, Zhang Jianjun also had doubts about the man's claim that he didn't have much time left.
"Okay, I'll try to get you there, but could you please open this door first? And what do you mean by 'not much time'?"
Liu Mingfeng didn't rush to answer Zhang Jianjun's question. Instead, he touched a ring he had been wearing since he appeared, and a cylindrical object appeared in front of him. He then pressed something on the object, and four wheels appeared at the bottom of the cylinder, and a round, head-like thing appeared on top. The head only had two square areas that should be eyes, and a few small holes at the mouth.
After that thing appeared, it emitted a burst of blue light from its eyes, scanning Liu Mingfeng's body, and then a sound came from those small holes.
"Master, hello. Your body is currently suffering from old injuries that have not yet healed, and new injuries have also been inflicted. We recommend using a healing potion."
After the little thing finished speaking, two cable-like arms with claws extended from its sides. At this moment, one of the claws was holding a tube of emerald green potion.
