Capítulo 1307: Chapter 65: Trusted Sisters and Dire Threats (Part 2)
“Using this machine, you can travel through ti and space?”
“No.”
“???”
“But you can rely on the power of nature to carve a gap in the river of ti when the Temporal Tide causes ripples.”
Shen Qingxi explained to Li Mumu, “You know the concept of a gravitational slingshot, right? Artificial spacecraft use fuel to boost in space, but the speed doesn’t increase significantly. However, if the gravity of a planet itself is used like a slingshot, you can accelerate and catapult yourself.”
“The working principle of this Gonggong Engine is quite similar to that.”
“Are you sure this thing can actually be used?”
“Not quite sure.”
“So you want to be the guinea pig?”
“No, the first ti has to be myself. Only I can understand the depth of the machine I created.”
Shen Qingxi pointed to the operating platform next to them, “I’ll give you three days to read, morize, and understand the operation manual I wrote. In three days, we begin the first cross-ti experint.”
“Isn’t it necessary to utilize the power of the Temporal Tide?”
“We’re already in the midst of a Temporal Tide, sister. Your husband was just sent back by Ti-Space Retrospection, rember?”
“Alright then.”
Li Mumu glanced at the stack of paper on the operating table, three fingers thick, covered in a dense mix of English, Chinese words, and mathematical symbols.
You really think highly of .
“I need to call Wang Yunxiao.”
“Suit yourself, although I suspect he’s busy and won’t have ti for you right now?”
Shen Qingxi teased, “Don’t worry, I’ve already spoken with your husband. He’ll handle his part before taking care of you.”
“Sotis I really wanna find a hotdog to stuff that babbling mouth of yours.”
……
Actually, Wang Yunxiao wasn’t as busy as Shen Qingxi thought. The Special Service Bureau began recalling embedded personnel from various corners and quickly reached full capacity, even exceeding it.
He had never seen the Special Service Bureau so well-manned before; they couldn’t get als in the cafeteria if they arrived late.
It wasn’t just the field agents; even the Containnt Departnt had opened its doors, releasing so ntally unstable veterans.
A truly oppressive atmosphere of impending storm filled the air.
“Wang Yunxiao, accompany on a trip after work.”
Director Xia Yubing halted Wang Yunxiao in his tracks amidst nurous onlookers, saying such suggestive words that those nearby instinctively pricked up their ears.
“Director Xia, is there sothing you need?”
“Your first wife and second wife are plotting behind my back.”
“…”
Director Xia, did you take the wrong dicine? You sound like your lips are coated in honey.
Wang Yunxiao helplessly replied, “Director Xia, I only have one wife.”
“Are you going or not?”
“Let’s go.”
Seeing the curious expressions of his forr colleagues, Wang Yunxiao knew that it was unlikely he could preserve his reputation for innocence.
Xia Yubing wasn’t usually sharp-tongued, but occasionally exceptions occurred.
For instance, when she was driven to the edge by two burdens.
When Xia Yubing led Wang Yunxiao to the chanical God Sect headquarters at West Spring Mountain, Shen Qingxi was already lying on the operating table.
Hmm… it appeared to be so kind of surgical device, with a cap resembling one used in hair salons to condition hair, covered with tubes.
Wang Yunxiao lacked the education to comprehend what this device was.
Li Mumu sat barefoot at the steampunk-style console, with one hand holding the thick operation manual and the other fiddling with levers and buttons while muttering to herself.
No wonder she was barefoot in the mid-winter; the factory was simply too hot. When the machine started, the boiler temperature soared, raising the indoor temperature above thirty-five degrees.
“Stop right now!”
Xia Yubing shouted sternly, “Do you want to end up in the Containnt Departnt?”
From trusted sisters to trusted threats, it was rely a thought away.
Other girls, even when being reckless, at most would stomp the accelerator and drive the wrong way on the highway. No matter how much trouble they caused, that would be it.
You two take it to the next level.
The Bureau is on high alert, guarding diligently, and you two are sneaking around digging walls?
If given a spacecraft, would you dare to fly out of the Solar System?
Xia Yubing was furious.
“Director Xia, we’re just conducting an experint, why are you so tense?”
Shen Qingxi completely ignored Xia Yubing’s concerns.
Ever since Xia Yubing admitted to being the Signal Flag group leader, tasked with initiating Signal Flag operations and refusing to rebel against fate, Shen Qingxi had parted ways with her.
Deep down, Shen Qingxi was a heartless woman who wouldn’t hold onto relationships that didn’t work. If she couldn’t play along with soone, she’d sever ties without hesitation.
She once told Cheng Xuefei they’d be lifelong friends, then imdiately ditched her.
Xia Yubing advised earnestly, “The barrier maintaining the Real World is very fragile now. You’re conducting an experint with high risks; it’s easy to get lost in the whirlpool of ti and space, and then there’s no saving you. Please listen to , cherish the present, and don’t waste your life like this, okay?”
“Not okay.”
The firmness in Shen Qingxi’s reply was unmistakable.
“Life is precious; love is invaluable. For the sake of freedom, I can abandon both!”
“Where aren’t you free?”
“A life without the freedom to be reckless, what’s the difference from being a salted fish?”
Xia Yubing was exasperated to the point of rolling her eyes, and she reflexively went for her pocket, about to teach Shen Qingxi a lesson with a taphorical coffin. But before she could raise her hand, Shen Qingxi on the operating table disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xia turned to Li Mumu, and the latter instinctively withdrew her hand, equally bewildered, looking at the densely covered buttons on the operating table.
“This thing is still in standby mode; I haven’t even understood the manual yet!”
Li Mumu felt utterly wronged.
If traveling through ti was this simple, why would there be a need for such a large machine?
Xia Yubing took a deep breath, and emitted a sharp loud noise.
“I told you it’s risky! Risky! Are you rebelling, that you can’t even understand human speech anymore?”
“Alright, alright, let’s all calm down.”
Wang Yunxiao quickly stepped up to diate.
He knew the problem wasn’t with Shen Qingxi but rather the sensitivity of the current timing.
He inexplicably suddenly entered Ti-Space Retrospection and still didn’t know why. Shen Qingxi’s mishap was completely understandable; the most crucial issue now was whether she could be retrieved.
“Didn’t she take any protective asures before this?”
“She did, but…”
Li Mumu looked at the operation manual in her hand, her face full of anguish.
You need to give ti to figure this thing out!
Promised three days, and sothing went wrong on the first day; Shen Qingxi is truly unreliable as Sect Hierarch.
……
Shen Qingxi, however, didn’t feel things went beyond her expectations.
Actually, while Li Mumu was studying the manual, she had already completed all the preliminary preparations. As for whether the machine started… in the face of the mystical issue of Temporal Tide, there wasn’t a need for such clear considerations.
The timing was perfect.
The location was perfect as well.
Setting aside those complex environntal factors for now, at least it can be proven that her calculation formula was indeed correct.
Right ahead was the Shen Mansion.
To be precise, it’s the Shen Mansion she rembered from when the family lived together happily.
She walked silently into the villa and glanced at the calendar on the wall.
At this point in ti, Shen Qingxi had just died in a car accident, unexpectedly.
Standing outside her grandpa’s study, she could faintly hear Shen Jianzhen’s voice talking on the phone inside, sounding very panicked.
Shen Qingxi had originally prepared many questions, but the mont she pushed the door open, she herself felt relieved.
In fact, the answers weren’t that important, nor was the Shen Family as significant as she imagined.
As ordinary people, they are like tiny grains of sand on the beach, at the rcy of the approaching great tide, always in danger of being swept away by the waves, disappearing without a trace.
