Novel website. Early the next morning.
Linghu Lan turned on her phone, but still didn't receive a message from Tang Xinyou.
Based on her understanding of Tang Xinyou, it was impossible for Tang Xinyou not to have seen the phone; the only explanation was that she was playing dumb again.
The phone rang.
Linghu Lan answered the call.
Qi Yue's pleasant voice drifted over.
How are you recovering? Is there anything I can help you with?
"Yes!" Linghu Lan said without hesitation. "May I ask, who is Wei Tang?"
"..."
Silence lingered between the two ends of the phone. Just when Linghu Lan thought she would never get an answer, Qi Yue's voice finally came through: "I thought you wouldn't ask."
"..." Linghu Lan was speechless. In fact, she really thought about not asking, because even if she asked, she might not get an answer, or it might be a heartbreaking one. However, when the time came, she chickened out. Not asking clearly had already affected her physical recovery.
"To be honest, we don't even know who Wei Tang is."
“Mr. Qi, have you ever heard the saying that anything that starts with the truth is usually a lie?”
"I've never heard of him before," Qi Yue said through gritted teeth. "I take back what I said. In fact, we really don't know who Wei Tang is."
"Couldn't he be one of the other five thousand people in that hospital?"
"No! I can tell you with absolute certainty, no!"
"How can you be so sure?" Linghu Lan was somewhat surprised. She had once held onto the hope that Wei Tang might be one of them, but he was still wandering in time and space and had not yet found his way home. So when Qi Yue decisively replied that it was not, her last hope was shattered and her mood plummeted.
Qi Yue continued, “You don’t understand our system, which is why you have such a far-fetched idea. The reason a system is called a system is because it can be tracked. For example, we can track your code through the parent system and monitor your status in real time. But we can’t track Wei Tang. In the data we monitor, there is no data that can identify him. He is an innocent soul that has not been marked. We just don’t understand why he has been accompanying you through time and space. I think this may also be related to your superpowers. This is something we urgently need to figure out.”
After hearing such a long string of words, Linghu Lan felt her body go weak.
This is almost the worst possible outcome.
"So, what new findings have you made in your investigation of him?"
Qi Yue was silent for a moment, then said softly, "The question you asked is beyond the scope of my answer. However, I can still tell you that there are two possibilities for Wei Tang's existence. One is that he may be a soul from another parallel universe. The other is that he himself has special abilities, that is to say, he has superpowers."
Upon hearing this answer, Linghu Lan felt a wave of dizziness. Either way, it indicated that Wei Tang was no ordinary person.
Qi Yue continued, "All of this is just my speculation. I think, since the system can detect your superpowers and enhance them through time travel, is it possible that there are people whose superpowers are naturally very strong, and Wei Tang happens to be one of them?"
"Your guess isn't unfounded. Have you ever met someone like that?" Linghu Lan gripped the phone nervously, waiting for an answer!
