Redemption (Part 2)
Back to the eve of 28's coma, Captain Wei Li's frown was enough to kill a mosquito.
Seeing Chen Lie approaching from afar, Wei Li asked, "How are things over there?"
Chen Lie shook his head and spread his hands. "Nothing. It's strange. The abnormal energy reaction at this space-time node is so violent, but we can't find the source."
"Tsk~" Chen Lie found a place to lean back, as if half of his body was missing:
"If this continues, I'm afraid the space-time barrier we just repaired and reinforced won't last much longer~"
It was at this moment that Wei Li and Shen Lie simultaneously noticed that this space-time node suddenly underwent abnormal and violent fluctuations.
Shen Lie acted quickly, as if his laziness just now was just an illusion.
Meanwhile, Wei Li had already exchanged information with Su Qingzhu: "Something happened in the border forest of this time and space. The abnormal energy may have been stimulated."
Wei Li immediately shook his head again: "This isn't right. It shouldn't cause such a big disturbance. This is a bit like..."
"Like the fluctuations when parallel time and space are about to split," Chen Lie took over what Wei Liwei had said.
"It's very strange, Captain, come and take a look." At this time, Chen Lie's expression was unusually serious:
"This space-time node seems to have been stretched to create an extra dimension, which is why the fluctuations are so intense. It's like...
It’s like an old-fashioned communication… oh no, a mobile phone, a big bubble appeared between the old-fashioned mobile phone and the originally attached mobile phone film! ”
It's really an eyesore!
Wei Li immediately made a decision: "To be on the safe side, evacuate first!"
But soon, he found that he could not contact Su Qingzhu: "Oh no! Something happened to Qingzhu!"

In the other world, Su Qingzhu was bandaging Bian Senlin.
"I just tried to control this space, but failed.
This is probably because my affinity for anomalous energy isn't as high as the edge forests of this time and space."
Su Qingzhu said to Bian Senlin, "You are probably the only one who can possibly seize control of this space from the other Bian Senlin.
Only in this way can we return to normal time and space."
Bian Senlin looked up at Su Qingzhu: "Sister Qingzhu, what should I do?"
"Listen, just follow my instructions..."
Su Qingzhu carefully told Bian Senlin the method he had figured out after thousands of experiments.
A strategy was then decided. Su Qingzhu would attract the firepower of 28's subconscious mind, and then Bian Senlin would try to seize control of this consciousness space.
Su Qingzhu followed the established plan to buy time for Bian Senlin and diverted most of the attacks.
At this time, 28's subconscious mind was almost no longer in human form and was almost assimilated into the entire space.
But Su Qingzhu still heard his unclear mumbling: "You can actually... still come out, hehe... hehe... I couldn't stop you..."
Su Qingzhu instantly realized that what had happened in her subconscious space before could probably be sensed by 28.
Su Qingzhu tried to communicate or stimulate with words, but soon discovered that the subconscious mind no longer had a complete thinking logic.
Currently, he is just relying on instinct to manipulate everything in the space to attack her.
On the other side, Bian Senlin tried as Su Qingzhu said, but failed many times.
"This time it must succeed!"
Bian Senlin's forehead was sweating with anxiety. He took a deep breath and tried to contact and merge with 28's subconscious mind again according to Su Qingzhu's attempt.
This time it worked!
But before Bian Senlin could be happy, an overwhelming wave of negative emotions swept over him.
Bian Senlin immediately knelt on the ground with his head in his hands in pain. He felt his mind was bombarded with countless messy images.
What surged in my heart was indescribable confusion, pain, hatred, and a deep sense of despair.
The moment Su Qingzhu noticed something unusual in the forest, he realized that he had made a mistake.
In order to gain the ability to control the subconscious space, you need to merge with yourself in this space. Once you try to merge, you will inevitably receive the emotions and thoughts of another self.
She ignored the fact that Bian Senlin was just an ordinary student and had never experienced any setbacks.
Unlike her, he is not a battle-hardened warrior who can stay sober under the impact of various negative emotions.
Su Qingzhu immediately changed his strategy, rushed forward to pick up the immobile Bian Senlin, and began to move left and right to dodge the attacks from everywhere.
Just when Su Qingzhu was thinking about whether to take the risk and kill 28's subconscious mind directly.
Several cracks suddenly appeared in this spatial barrier, as if an external force had pried open several gaps.
It’s the captain!
Su Qingzhu understood that this was probably because the captain discovered that he had lost contact with them and took action to pick them up.
Su Qingzhu did not delay and led Bian Senlin to rush out from the nearest gap.
The next moment, the magma in the sky disappeared.
Su Qingzhu and Bian Senlin reappeared in the hospital corridor, they are back!
All communication equipment and instruments returned to normal. Su Qingzhu noticed the time and found that only 15 minutes had passed since they were drawn into the inner world.
Su Qingzhu opened the protective shield to isolate the cracks that were still raging outside.
At this time, Bian Senlin was supporting himself on the ground with his hands. He had not yet recovered from those negative emotions.
On the other side, Su Qingzhu had already contacted Wei Li: "Captain, we're out."
Wei Li's voice also came from the communicator: "We need to evacuate, but this space-time node is extremely unstable right now. Shen Lie and I will find a way to stabilize the passage, and then you can take the opportunity to evacuate."
"OK."
After the call was disconnected, Su Qingzhu walked over to Bian Senlin and squatted down. "Are you feeling better? I'm afraid this time and space node is about to end. We have to evacuate quickly."
Bian Senlin hadn't fully recovered yet, and his reaction was so slow that it seemed as if it had been slowed down: "It's over...what will happen?"
Su Qingzhu sighed, "Right now, the inner world's consciousness space is eroding and merging with the surface world. No one can predict what will happen. Maybe... it will turn into purgatory."
Bian Senlin couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the magma all over the sky.
"Will the world be destroyed? We..."
Bian Senlin wondered if our mission had failed. What would happen next? Did our arrival make things worse?
"The Central Control Center has made a contingency plan for the worst-case scenario. In this case, we will use the self-healing properties of time and space to separate this node from the main timeline.
This node will form a new parallel dimension. As long as this doesn't happen to multiple abnormal nodes, we still have room to maneuver."
This method can only be used once and not twice, and they will not use it unless they have no other choice.
This is like myopia can be corrected by thinning part of the corneal stroma, but it is impossible to perform this operation repeatedly.
"But this has little to do with you. We will send you back for treatment first."
Bian Senlin muttered, "What about the people in this time and space?"
Then, he seemed to recall the despair he had just felt and turned to look in the direction of the operating room: "Then...where is he?"
Su Qingzhu did not answer Bian Senlin's previous question: "If we follow the original timeline, Bian Senlin will be fine at this time.
But according to the current changes, his subconscious has collapsed, and he probably won't survive in this time and space.
But don't worry, once this node is removed, time and space will heal on their own. As long as this incident can be resolved in the end, your future will still be fine..."
Bian Senlin remained silent. He felt the despair that had not completely dissipated in his heart, as well as the remaining fragments in his mind.
For some reason, he thought of his 29-year-old self, the fat guy who was completely different from the 28-year-old self.
Although fat people sometimes show some cynicism, they do not have such a deep sense of despair.
Why is that? What caused such a big change in the same person in just one year?
Something suddenly flashed through Bian Senlin's mind.
He quickly pulled out his communicator and looked through it, but couldn't find it.
As if remembering something, he picked up the bag that he had thrown on the chair before. This was the common items he packed for 28 when he brought him to the hospital.
Bian Senlin found 28's phone, unlocked it with fingerprint, and quickly searched for something.
Su Qingzhu didn't know what he was doing, but didn't interrupt him. She just watched his movements with a slightly frown.
After a while, Bian Senlin turned around and asked Su Qingzhu seriously, "Sister Qingzhu, if he could wake up, could this have been avoided?"
Su Qingzhu stood up and looked at him: "Theoretically, yes, but in this situation, the only one who can save him is himself, but his subconscious has collapsed, so this is almost impossible to do."
Bian Senlin lowered his head and remained silent.
Su Qingzhu clapped his hands: "Alright, now that you're almost recovered, we should prepare to evacuate. The captain and the others should be almost recovered as well."
After saying that, Su Qingzhu picked up the communicator and prepared to contact Wei Li.
Bian Senlin loosened his grip on the phone, but then tightened it again.
Bian Senlin murmured to himself, as if confirming something with himself: "I... I want to pull him out..."
Su Qingzhu, who was communicating with Wei Li, didn't hear clearly and asked, "What?"
Bian Senlin suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with unprecedented determination: "Sister Qingzhu, please evacuate first, don't worry about me... I wanted to pull him back, I'm sorry!"
After saying that, he turned around and rushed back into the crack in the inner world.
Su Qingzhu didn't expect him to do this and couldn't react.
She took a deep breath, pinched her brows, and said to the other end of the communication: "Captain, there was an accident."
