Chapter 237: Back Then
Fortunately, the communication in this world is very advanced. Although Mai Zixuan did not ask for leave to see his parents, he turned on the video call and a small projection of Mai Zixuan, half a meter tall, appeared next to his mother.
He could see the situation inside the room clearly through this projection, as if he were there too.
Father Mai had already told Mai Dongzi and his brother about his experiences, so they were naturally more concerned about what their mother Zhuang Yuelan had been through over the years.
It turned out that Zhuang Yuelan heard that Atom had an accident while trying to save Prince Arthur and was seriously injured and could not be cured, so she hurriedly took her seven-month-old daughter to the hospital to see him.
On the way, she was attacked by two men in black.
Although Zhuang Yuelan was a fifth-level wood-type mutant at the time, her profession was a pharmacist, and her overall combat ability was not high. In addition, in order to protect her seven-month-old daughter, she was unable to resist being beaten and fell into a coma.
Then when she regained consciousness, she had lost her memory, and did not find that she seemed to have arrived in another world, married a man who looked somewhat like Atom, and gave birth to a little girl who looked very much like her daughter Lucy, and a son who was a few months old.
A few years later, she recovered her original memory by chance and found herself traveling back to a world more than 2,000 years ago from the future.
After that, she began to suspect that this husband in this world was her future husband in this world, Atom, and that her daughter might also be her future daughter in this world.
Their family died in the previous world, but were lucky enough to be reborn in this world, and then they had another son, Xuan.
Because time travel and rebirth were too fantastic, Zhuang Yuelan had doubts in her heart, but she was not sure. It was not until the arrival of the devil that she and Father Mai Atom finally explained the matter clearly and confirmed their fantastic encounter.
"Now it seems that our family is very lucky. We can all return to our original world." Mother Mai said gratefully.
In that world more than two thousand years ago, first Mai Mu died of an accident, then Mai Zixuan, and finally Mai Dongzi, and the one who survived to the end was Mai Fu.
In that world, the person who survives to the end will be the one who suffers the most.
"I had the accident 20 years later. At that time, we finally found a planet with life. I signed up for the advance exploration team, but I died while exploring that planet with life." said Father Mai.
Given Father Mai's status at the time and the sacrifice of Mai Dongzi, it was impossible for Father Mai to be a member of the expedition advance team.
The only reason Mr. Mai signed up was that he didn't want to live anymore.
Thinking of the death of their previous family, the four of them couldn't help but thank fate.
Although they soon faced crisis again, they are still alive.
The family talked affectionately for a long time. As it was already late at night and the Internet restriction time of Imperial University had come, Mai Zixuan had to hang up the Feixun.
Mai Dongzi and his parents were still not in the mood to rest, because they still had many doubts to solve.
In particular, why did their family travel to the past and then back together, and whether this kind of thing will happen again in the future.
Mother Mai thought for a while and said, "According to our family's experience, we were originally from this world. For some reason, we traveled to the past more than 2,000 years ago, experienced a period of life, and then traveled back. The past world we traveled to has been completely destroyed, and we should not be able to travel back."
"We traveled through time at different times, but we all have one thing in common. We all suffered almost fatal injuries and traveled to the past world. According to the time point, Yuelan, you should be the first one. I was ten years ago, Dongzi was two years ago, and Zixuan was also ten years ago. However, the time point of our rebirth in the past world is the same. The day you were reborn was also the time of our family's rebirth." Father Mai analyzed.
“When Zixuan and I were in that world, we didn’t know we were time travelers. Even when we returned to this world, although we lost our past memories, I always felt that they were the memories of another person. It wasn’t until my mental power level reached level eight that I began to feel that I was originally Lucy.” Mai Dongzi added.
"Our family traveled to the past world, but in that world we became a family of four. Is there any problem?" Father Mai pondered.
"I have an idea." Mai Dongzi said.
Ever since she knew that Father and Mother Mai were her biological parents no matter which world they were in, she had often thought about this question.
"First of all, our time travel and rebirth are not accidental events, but events that are intentionally directed by a certain force," Mai Dongzi analyzed.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Mai nodded in agreement. This was not an isolated incident and it definitely could not be a coincidence.
"Mom and Dad, there is absolutely no problem with your identities in that world. You each have parents, relatives, friends, and complete life experiences. This means that we did not suddenly appear in that world."
The Mai family's parents nodded again. Their memory of that world was very complete, as if they were from that world.
"The second is Zixuan's problem. In this world, Zixuan is just the son of my father's cousin. Why was he also pulled over, and his identity became your son?" Mai Dongzi continued to speculate.
Father Mai's eyes were firm and he was good at reasoning. He looked at Mai Dongzi and said, "You mean that the world is indeed a family, and we were pulled over to live for them."
Now it was Mai Dongzi's turn to nod. She said, "Maybe when we were reborn, the two children were still young, so our memories were sealed. But mom and dad, you were in coma at different times, but you traveled to the world of rebirth on the same day. That means that the family may have died in an accident together, and our family traveled through time to take their place."
"Because that family has four children and we only have one, Zixuan was dragged over to make up the number." Father Mai concluded.
As soon as he said this, Mai's mother and Mai Dongzi looked at Mai's father, and Mai's father immediately understood: "I was wrong. Zixuan is not here to make up the numbers. He has a relationship with us. It is fate that makes him a good member of our family."
"You have to remember this sentence all the time and express it in front of Zixuan whenever you get the chance. This child must be very bothered by the fact that he is not our biological child in this world." said Mother Mai.
"Don't worry, after I see him, I will make him forget about this quickly." Father Mai said confidently.
He was patient with his children, but he also taught them a lesson when they refused to change.
