1040: Chapter 1040: Heading to the Future 1040: Chapter 1040: Heading to the Future Three days were quickly drawing to a close.
Tomorrow, they would have to make use of the space-ti door to travel to an entirely new era.
Gu Fan, Su Hui, and Lin Xi couldn’t sleep and forcibly got Ouyang Jin up to chat.
This inn had already been booked by Ouyang Jin for the entire travel group, so there was no need to worry about outsiders.
Gu Fan asked about the future—how everyone was doing, such as himself, such as Lu Yi, such as whether he had already married Lin Xi or not.
To this, Ouyang Jin answered, “All is well, all is well.”
Su Hui noticed that when Ouyang Jin spoke, there was evasion in his eyes, seemingly hiding sothing.
What Lin Xi most wanted to know about the future was what changes had taken place, sothing both Gu Fan and Su Hui were eager to learn, staring at Ouyang Jin with expectant eyes.
Ouyang Jin’s face showed difficulty, “Big brother, big sister, I know you’re curious, but spoiling it beforehand is no fun.
It’s like revealing the secrets of the future, better not do it.”
After hearing this, Gu Fan also felt that knowing what would happen in the future might lead to attempts to change it, which could affect Ouyang Jin’s era, so better drop it.
But Su Hui was very curious, “Ouyang Jin, you said your era is twenty years from ours, but how co you seem unchanged, not at all like soone who’s aged twenty years?”
“Ah, this… that’s because the future has developed a kind of dicine that can delay aging, very effective, everyone loves it,” Ouyang Jin explained, but this ti, he stamred, seemingly not quite telling the truth.
Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui didn’t care whether Ouyang Jin was telling the truth or not; for them, as long as they could return, that was enough.
The four of them chatted until late into the night.
When dawn was breaking the next day, Ouyang Jin took them to the last scenic spot, where the group completed the travel plan at top speed.
Then, Ouyang Jin took out a small control device, pressed a series of numbers on it, and the space-ti tunnel opened.
“Alright, let’s go ho.” Under Ouyang Jin’s command, everyone walked into the space-ti tunnel in an orderly fashion.
But just as Gu Fan, Su Hui, and Lin Xi were about to enter the space-ti tunnel, Ouyang Jin stopped them.
He looked very serious, “I can help you, but we must make an agreent.
After you arrive in my era, you must not wander around.
Stay indoors obediently, and don’t be curious about what changes have occurred outside in the next twenty years.
If you can do this, then follow .”
“Sure, sure, no problem, we’ll listen to you.
As long as we can return, whatever you say goes,” Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui said, showing their willingness to cooperate.
This made Ouyang Jin almost laugh through his tears, “You all… are still just as I rember.”
Finally, with Ouyang Jin leading, the group stepped into the space-ti tunnel and went forward to a whole new era.
Passing through the space-ti tunnel went smoothly, with ti rapidly moving forward around them.
Gu Fan, Su Hui, and Lin Xi prayed silently, hoping that this ti they could truly return.
When the space-ti transit ended, and ti disappeared, Gu Fan, Su Hui, and Lin Xi found themselves in a completely sealed chamber surrounded by high-end scientific equipnt.
The mbers of the travel group one by one left, and Ouyang Jin waved his arms in farewell, hoping they would co again next ti.
Seeing Ouyang Jin’s enthusiastic and hospitable manner, Gu Fan said, “It’s rare to see you so dedicated.
You must have made a lot of money.”
“Enough talk.
Wait until the energy is fully charged, then hurry back to your own era,” Ouyang Jin said while checking the equipnt, and he also asked in detail about the year, month, and day of the era Gu Fan and the others were from.
So Gu Fan, Su Hui, and Lin Xi discussed thoroughly and decided to set Su Hui’s departure day as their reference point.
However, to avoid an unnecessary awkward scenario, they finally chose the day after Su Hui left as their return date.
Why did they do this?
Because the space-ti door couldn’t be accurate to the ti, only to the year, month, and day.
So, one could imagine such a scene.
That day, Su Hui decided to enter the space-ti door to go to the ancient world to help Gu Fan.
Just as she was about to leave, suddenly another space-ti door opened, out jumped Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and another Su Hui.
Wouldn’t that scene be awkward?
Two Su Huis face to face?
Su Hui saw that Ouyang Jin seed very anxious, as if he couldn’t wait to have Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui leave this place.
Moreover, Su Hui saw a flash of fear in Ouyang Jin’s eyes.
“Alright, you can go now.” Ouyang Jin set the date, the space-ti door finished charging, and the space-ti tunnel opened once more.
“Thank you, Ouyang Jin.” Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui expressed their thanks again.
But Ouyang Jin said, “No need to thank ; the best thanks would be for you to hurry up and leave.”
“What kind of talk is that?
If you’re going to be like this, we’ll just stay and not leave.
We’ll cling to you,” Gu Fan said, and Ouyang Jin quickly put on a pleading face, “Big brother, big sister, I need to make a living.
I can’t support so many of you, please, let be.”
“Alright, alright, we won’t make it hard for you anymore.
We’re leaving now.” Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui walked towards the space-ti tunnel.
Ouyang Jin watched their every move with nervousness, as if truly fearing they wouldn’t leave.
Suddenly, Ouyang Jin called out to stop them, calling out to Gu Fan.
“What is it?” Gu Fan turned around, puzzled.
He knew Ouyang Jin certainly didn’t stop him out of reluctance.
Ouyang Jin smiled broadly, “You’re still the sa old you.
I’m really glad to see you as you are now.”
Hearing this, Gu Fan was stunned for a mont, not knowing quite what Ouyang Jin ant, then saw Ouyang Jin waving his arms, starting to bid farewell.
Gu Fan also smiled, then took Su Hui’s hand and Lin Xi’s, and together they entered the space-ti tunnel.
Just at that mont, Lin Xi thought of sothing—if in the next twenty years, Ouyang Jin could use the space-ti tunnel to co to the ancient world, then the mysterious masked person could do the sa.
Perhaps Ouyang Jin even knew the mysterious masked person.
Lin Xi wanted to ask, but it was too late.
She had already stepped into the space-ti tunnel and was on her way ho.
Ouyang Jin saw the three of them disappear into the space-ti tunnel, then closed the space-ti door, sighing with relief.
“You still helped them!” a cold voice suddenly sounded behind Ouyang Jin, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
The one who ca was the mysterious masked person, who added with emphasis, “You could help Gu Fan and the others, but you shouldn’t have said that extra sentence to Gu Fan.”
