Chapter 626 A Passerby in the Merged Urban World (The End)
With only a few days left until the Lunar New Year after the gathering, it was time for the annual shopping spree for New Year's goods. This year, Jiang Yue didn't want to go through the crowds, so she sent Kuilei to buy the goods.
Just before the Lunar New Year, another group of people came to the neighboring courtyard, and it was another group of main characters. Could it be that this place is specifically designed to attract main characters?
This time, the protagonist of a feng shui novel is accompanied by a woman whose fate has been swapped, along with the protagonist of a fortune-telling novel. Wow, they've teamed up! Judging from this, they're going to switch fates back. Maybe the protagonist's lineage and the one who did the bad thing are enemies.
Jiang Yue stood on the second floor of her own courtyard, quietly watching the commotion in the neighboring courtyard. The protagonist of the feng shui novel was looking around with a compass, muttering incantations, while the woman whose fate had been changed showed no joy or sorrow, but a hint of stubbornness in her eyes upon closer inspection. The protagonist of the fortune-telling novel was calculating something with her fingers.
Suddenly, the protagonist of the feng shui novel seemed to have discovered something crucial. He walked towards a corner and then called over the male protagonist of the fortune-telling novel. After discussing for a long time, the two pulled the woman over as well. After calculating for a long time, the two of them showed joy on their faces. During this time, the person whose fate had been changed remained very calm.
After watching them discuss for a long time, Jiang Yue saw the protagonist of the feng shui novel start taking things out of his suitcase and then seemingly setting up an array. This feng shui expert did have some skill, but in Jiang Yue's opinion, it was limited because he couldn't tell that the entire array was man-made. Jiang Yue had been paying attention to him ever since they entered the village.
Step by step, they found the most important node of the formation, marveling at the wonders of nature. Jiang Yue watched him set up the formation without stopping him, because the losses incurred by the two main characters were acceptable compared to the gains. Besides, the woman's fate had to be restored before 5 PM that afternoon, otherwise it would be too late once she came of age.
Just as they were setting up the formation, Jiang Yue sensed another group of people arriving at the village entrance. After checking the surveillance footage, she realized they were there to cause trouble. Jiang Yue called for security guards to block them for a moment, buying them some time. She did this for no personal gain; she just couldn't stand it.
As for whether the security guards will face retaliation, he has to survive the backlash first. Seeing that the two protagonists had already started to act, Jiang Yue moved a chair and got some potato chips, sunflower seeds, and braised snacks. As the array set up by the protagonists was activated, Jiang Yue felt that the large array was being pulled to move.
Time was short and preparations were insufficient. The power of the array that the protagonist could activate was not enough, and he was about to risk damaging his lifespan. Jiang Yue waved her hand to help him, and the pressure on the two of them was instantly relieved. The two looked at each other and understood what was going on. They were too busy to free their hands and shouted their thanks to the senior for helping them. Jiang Yue ignored them and continued to watch the show.
As the small formation was activated, a mysterious aura descended. Jiang Yue was very familiar with this aura; it was a trace of the power of the Heavenly Dao being drawn down. With the arrival of the aura, the two protagonists had the woman stand in the center of the formation. After that, without them having to do anything else, the aura swirled around the woman, and her aura underwent a tremendous change.
Changing one's fate is already a deceitful act, and now that the higher-ups know about it, what good can come of it? Among the crowd stopped at the village entrance, an old man vomited a liter of blood, aged instantly, and then collapsed to the ground unconscious. The people who came with him didn't bother to argue with the security guards and simply carried him into the car and drove away.
After the fates were swapped back, the mysterious aura split into three. One half entered the woman's body, and the other half split into two parts, which then entered the bodies of the two main characters. After that, the formation slowly stopped operating, and the three of them slowly woke up. Jiang Yue had no interest in what happened afterward, so she packed her things and went back to her room.
After the little incident, Jiang Yue was preparing for the Chinese New Year when the person in charge of the guesthouse sent her a message, reporting on the activities planned for the New Year and asking about the year-end bonus arrangements. Jiang Yue glanced at the activities and decided to do as she was told: cancel all the gifts for the year-end bonus and just give cash directly, no tricks, and let her buy whatever she wanted herself.
The past few days of the Spring Festival have been very lively. After the Spring Festival, time has entered a fast track. On New Year's Eve, the country announced good news on CCTV: effective drugs for several terminal diseases have been developed.
Jiang Yue knew that the world was about to rush headlong in the direction she remembered. The progress of this world was not very fast. Five years had passed since Jiang Yue delivered the big gift package. It shouldn't have taken that long. In the last world, Jiang Yue simplified a lot of things. As her abilities became stronger, many technologies had simpler ways of implementation.
Aside from the slightly slower pace, everyone unanimously chose medicine as the initial product. Of course, the military was the first to start researching it, otherwise, the impact of developing medicine would be considerable, and without strong capabilities, it might not be possible to defend against it.
Suddenly, Jiang Yue realized something and guessed why the release was so late. It was because there were still some superhumans clinging to life in this world, and the place was probably guarding against them. Jiang Yue sensed some spiritual energy in the air, and sure enough, compared to last year, the concentration of spiritual energy had dropped by about 90%. In this situation, there was no way to use any special methods.
The main reason is that Jiang Yue's Gu were all staying in the Gu house. During this period of the New Year, with people coming and going, Jiang Yue did not let them out. Otherwise, she would have sensed it long ago. With a thought, Jiang Yue's natal Gu came out of the Gu house, and sure enough, it immediately went back inside. The environment was no longer suitable for their survival.
The existence of the miracle drug hasn't been fully digested yet, and the release of other cutting-edge technologies has put major powers on edge. The people are delighted, and the news is filled with reports of military exercises every day. However, in the end, they didn't go to extremes but chose to cooperate, since the future is vast and everyone is interconnected.
Thirty years later, Jiang Yue is on a spaceship and is currently on her way to visit the moon. This year, the spaceship has been officially privatized, and travel to the moon and Mars has become popular. At first, the price was a bit high, but it is believed that the price will come down in a few years. At that time, taking a spaceship ride will probably be no different from taking a high-speed train ride.
After her trip, Jiang Yue returned home. Her time was up in the next few years. Twenty-five years ago, her spiritual power was completely gone, and the Gu house in her body slowly shrank and is now almost gone. Moreover, she used her own blood to feed the Gu worms, which is very harmful to her lifespan. Currently, only the Golden Silkworm Gu is still alive.
There's nothing we can do; this world has completely abandoned supernatural powers, and there will be no revival of spiritual energy in the future. It's just that being born in this era is very unfortunate. I hope the protagonists of feng shui and fortune-telling novels can earn enough money for their lifetime, otherwise they'll just become charlatans.
In the last few months of her life, Jiang Yue settled her assets. Since she had no descendants, she donated most of them, with the largest amount going to education. She hoped that the people she chose would not turn bad and could help more people. However, she was about to pass away and could not control what would happen afterward. She had done all she could.
"8888, let's go!"
