Cang Yu held her close, his eyes lowered.
If he can't go back...
"There are no 'ifs.' If there really were, I would find a way to be reborn. Aren't I already reborn?"
If he's willing to risk everything, maybe he can be reborn and go find her again.
Lin Yue smiled.
Yes! There are no "what ifs," they will definitely succeed.
The two snuggled together, chatting about this and that, waiting for the time to go back.
Detecting suitable brainwaves from the past is a very time-consuming task, and Lin Yue and her team waited for three days.
On the third day at noon, Lin Yue and the others had just finished lunch and wanted to close their eyes and rest for a while when the monitor in the laboratory came out with a voice: "Laboratory No. 1, enter the cabin immediately. Lab No. 1, enter the cabin immediately."
Upon hearing the sound, the two immediately opened their eyes and quickly headed towards the time-space shuttle. With a leap, they both landed in the cabin, which was just big enough for two people.
The moment they lay down, the time machine's hatch was closed.
To be honest, the more I look at this cabin these past few days, the more it resembles a coffin. So, unless absolutely necessary, Lin Yue keeps her eyes closed. She usually just talks to Cang Yu and then closes her eyes to rest.
The cabin doors were now closed, and tiny lights began to appear on the cabin walls, resembling a starry sky they hadn't seen in years—it was quite beautiful.
Before long, the stars on the bulkhead began to spin incessantly, their rotation dazzling the eyes. The two closed their eyes, refusing to look at the spinning stars.
A dozen minutes later, the two suddenly felt something pulling at their minds. Hua Fo had an invisible hand trying to take something out of their brains. The two knew clearly that he was extracting their consciousness.
This process is a great test of willpower. When extracting consciousness, it feels like there's a drill in your brain, constantly churning inside, causing both of them to bulge their veins in pain.
However, both of them were very patient and didn't utter a sound. They just clenched their fists tightly, their nails digging into their palms. After a while, drops of blood leaked from their palms.
Lin Yue counted in her mind, meaning three minutes had passed, when she vaguely heard an ethereal voice. Then, she felt a sharp pain in her chest and completely lost consciousness.
Kongling had been sensing the situation outside the space, and as soon as the time was right, she came out of the space: "The time has come."
She was surrounded by a rainbow of light, which was even more dazzling than the light inside the time machine cabin, illuminating the entire cabin as if it were daytime.
The ethereal light, trailing its seven-colored rays, swirled incessantly above Lin Yue and Cang Yu's heads. The seven-colored light continuously scattered, finally entering their minds from the top of their heads.
The light emanating from Kongling gradually faded until only a faint band of seven-colored light remained around her, at which point she stopped.
The "immediately" that Lin Yue sensed had actually been more than ten minutes in the past. Kong Ling carefully probed the two people's main consciousness, and when the time was right, she quickly took the blood from their hearts and then sent their consciousness away.
Actually, what she told Lin Yue before was that they could definitely go back. It wasn't that they could only go back with her help. Even without her, they could still go back to the past. Professor Mu's experiment was still very successful.
However, going back at the wrong time would be useless; to return to the correct time, she would have to take action.
As soon as the laboratory session ended, the light drawn from the space palace arrived. Looking at the faint glow on her body, Kong Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
If you still have energy, then you don't have to turn into a bedbug.
Just as she was about to leave, outside the research institute, the gray wolf and snow wolf, who had been on a hunger strike for three days, suddenly sensed something and began frantically ramming against the institute's door. Their heads were already mangled and bloody from the impact, and they seemed determined not to give up until they broke down the door. Several people tried to pull them back, but to no avail.
Kongling looked at the guiding light, frowned, not wanting to leave, yet unable to bring herself to do it.
Never mind, we've all known each other for so long.
Honestly, these two silly wolves, why can't they just live their own lives? Why do they have to follow me around?
Kongling arrived outside the research institute, intending to use some energy to subdue the two wolves. But when he came out, he was shocked to find that the two idiots had smashed their skulls, their eyes were dull, and their pupils were dilated. They were clearly not going to survive.
The reason they're still crashing is just because of a burst of energy. If that energy runs out, those two big idiots will be dead instantly.
The Azure Wolf was reborn alongside Cang Yu, so it's one thing for it to act this way, but why is the Snow Wolf also going to such lengths? I really don't understand.
"Kongling, let's go back," the woman in green reminded her.
The two wolves seemed to have heard the sound; their dull eyes suddenly lit up with hope as they stared intently in the direction of the ethereal being.
Kongling sighed softly, looking at the little energy she had left, and then at the green-clad figure waiting for her.
Well, these two wolves are actually quite cute, so she took pity on them and sent them on their way.
"That's enough etherealness. If you continue like this, even the blood from your heart won't be able to save you."
"Sister in green, please let me be willful just this once! They are my companions." After saying that, Kongling flew towards the gray wolf and the snow wolf, transferring all the energy she had into the minds of the two wolves.
The gray wolf and the snow wolf slowly closed their eyes, fell to the ground, and never got up again.
The ethereal figure appeared and disappeared, returning to the state it had been in before when it suddenly turned into a bedbug and then into a little girl. The bottle containing its heart's blood, which it had been hiding on its body, fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the woman in green quickly scooped her up and fed her the whole thing. Her body then solidified a bit, and the woman in green carried her away and disappeared into the sky.
...
When Lin Yue woke up in the morning, she looked at her family's familiar living environment in the county and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
She came back, back to the time before the county was relocated.
Picking up the phone from the bedside table and turning on the screen, the date displayed was July 16th of the first year of the apocalypse. Their neighborhood had been designated as a development zone, the compensation had been paid, and the housing in the city had been allocated. They were to move out in September, and the buildings would be demolished by explosives in early November.
"Yueyue, Yueyue, get up and have breakfast. I made your favorite congee with preserved egg and lean pork this morning, and also stir-fried some pickled green beans with pork intestines." Lin's mother's voice rang out from outside the door.
Lin's father also came to the door, his voice slightly displeased: "Oh dear! Yueyue finally came back for a visit, why didn't you let her sleep a little longer? Why did you have to wake her up?"
As he spoke, Lin's father pushed Lin's mother away from outside the door.
"Hey! It makes it seem like you love your daughter. Okay, let her sleep a little longer, you hurry up and eat, then you can go to the supermarket."
"No, no, we're closed today. I want to stay home with my daughter," Mr. Lin said, displeased.
It's not like they're starving; it won't matter if they close the supermarket one less day.
Lin Yue sat on the bed in the room, laughing and crying at the same time. She covered her lips, her face covered with tears.
