nano headquarters.
This isn't the first time Linghu Lan has been here.
However, each visit was limited to wards and conference rooms, and I never got to experience the high-tech features of the nano.
This time was different. As soon as she entered, she was taken to a sci-fi-like office. Countless people were working in front of a giant computer. The walls around her were clickable and glowed with a dark blue light. Touching them would bring up an interface. She could even feel virtual robots silently observing her all around her.
Qi Yue and Liu Mo waited quietly for her to finish touring everything before smiling and saying, "Welcome to nano."
Linghu Lan smiled slightly: "Were the people who came to pick me up from the military?"
"Yes! Strictly speaking, our scientific research project is also part of national defense. To make it more 'realistic' this time, we borrowed military vehicles and soldiers to put on a full-fledged performance. How was it? Did it give you away?"
"That's good!" Linghu Lan lowered her head. She suddenly remembered something a doctor had said when she was a young female doctor: "When a patient is on the verge of death, even though the doctor knows that resuscitation is futile, they will still do their best to save them. Do you know why?"
She said at the time, "Why? Isn't this a waste of medical resources?"
The doctor smiled and said, "Do you really think we're resuscitating dying patients? We're treating the relatives of patients outside. They're patients too. If we do our best to save them, they'll feel better. They'll think it's because their condition is beyond treatment, not because they can't afford good medicine, not because their children were too busy to discover the illness early, and not because they neglected their care, which led to the severity of their condition..."
When Linghu Lan heard those words back then, she was only shocked, but now she can truly understand why.
The high-spec military vehicle and the two regular soldiers reassured her parents that their daughter's project was confidential, high-level, and very safe. This way, even if they were separated for a long time and couldn't see each other, her parents wouldn't worry too much about her; they would just consider it the rule.
This arrangement is absolutely perfect.
After touring the office, a dedicated person recorded audio, took photos, and filmed videos of Linghu Lan, showing her different outfits, hairstyles, and looks for all four seasons. Their professional and meticulous approach gave Linghu Lan the feeling that her wedding was just around the corner, with everything ready except for the groom.
These photos and audio recordings were intended as a precaution, to be used in case of emergencies to deal with Lan's parents. On the other hand, they were also intended as the last visual records of Linghu Lan in the world should misfortune occur.
After finishing all that, Qi Yue and Liu Mo explained the general process to her: they would artificially put her in a near-death state, then the system would be activated, upgraded, and then the travel coordinates would be set to enter the world where Mo Tang was.
Linghu Lan nodded; the procedure sounded perfectly reasonable.
How can I bring him back?
Liu Mo thought for a moment and said, "We have considered many solutions, such as tampering with the system to make his travels only have one destination, or even using a virus, but after thinking about it, none of these methods will work."
"..."
If there's no other way, am I supposed to drag him back with my bare hands?
She composed herself, thought for a moment, and then said confidently, "You must have come up with a solution."
"That's right, there is indeed a method, but it's only at the stage of conjecture. You need to try it out to know if it works."
