Chapter 519 - 253: Time to Reunite
"Aren’t you afraid of me telling others about this? You and Su Jiameng... the existence of both of you is completely an anomaly in this world," Gu Ningzhi looked at the other person with a hint of doubt. "Aren’t you afraid it will lead to your doom?"
Gong Yulu seemed very open-minded, "For me, every day now is borrowed, extra. You should know, right? If Xiao Meng hadn’t appeared that day, what choice I would’ve made... Whether you reveal it or not, it doesn’t matter much to me."
Gu Ningzhi twitched the corner of his mouth, finally understanding the famous saying: ’The brave fear the reckless, the reckless fear those who disregard their lives.’ This Gong Yulu is completely someone who disregards their life. But if you’re not worried for yourself, at least think for Su Jiameng, right?
Gong Yulu guessed the other’s thoughts and sneered, "Perhaps you still don’t realize that woman doesn’t need anyone’s concern, right? If you dare to reveal her secret, believe me, before the Insect Race erupts, she’ll let you first experience the power of someone with Level Nine telekinesis! Absolutely unforgettable! Haha, besides, who would believe these bizarre words besides you?"
Gu Ningzhi felt the person before him was too cunning, fully assuming he would keep the secret before revealing anything!
"Alright, actually, I won’t tell anyone... After all, some things still depend on you and that... not-so-tempered Major General Su!" Gu Ningzhi really did not expect that a woman like Su Jiameng could be a Lieutenant General, nowadays military rank has devalued to this extent, "You’re considered a physical traveler, and she... a mental traveler? Both very fantastical."
Gong Yulu raised her eyebrow slightly, not rebutting the statement. Although Su Jiameng’s appearance was somewhat similar to before, anyone with a discerning eye could see the differences, and the Su Jiameng she knew... had long been disfigured beyond repair.
"In your world, the Insect Race seems to have ravaged for a long, long time. So... do you count as having traveled from the future to the past?" Perhaps because the secret was out, Gu Ningzhi found Gong Yulu not so grim and unapproachable.
"No... I initially thought the same, but after carefully investigating, I found... the differences were too great." Gong Yulu sarcastically said, "If the Insect Race crisis were to erupt now, the Human Alliance would find it very difficult to withstand... whether it’s advanced technology or mastery of telekinesis, it’s all too backward. The biggest difference is still telekinesis..."
In Gong Yulu’s world, the ability of telekinesis had developed to quite a high degree even before humans stepped onto the interstellar stage. In this world, telekinesis had surprisingly become a malady everyone avoided, which was unacceptable.
"This... can there really be parallel universes in this world?" Gu Ningzhi felt a door to a new world had been opened.
"Maybe, no one can say for sure..." Gong Yulu sipped the slightly cooled milk tea. She wasn’t particularly fond of sweets, but "sweetness" could slightly ease her foul mood, so she enjoyed drinking it, "If not, there’s no explaining the origins of Xiao Meng and me. Discussing this now is useless; first, it’s unnecessary, and second, it’s not a field for ordinary people to touch..."
Researchers should have their own boundaries and reverence for all things in the world. In this way, they avoid making catastrophic mistakes and don’t go down the wrong path. Gong Yulu, though adept in this area, understood her own limits clearly and refrained from touching things she shouldn’t.
"This world... will the Insect Race really appear?" A shadow deepened in Gu Ningzhi’s heart. The contents of the book were too real, the war scenes vividly gruesome. However, no matter how powerful the words were, they couldn’t perfectly depict things someone hasn’t experienced. At least Gu Ningzhi merely vaguely felt the scene was tragic but had no concrete concept of it...
"Naturally... wasn’t that Mother Tree before the best proof?" Gong Yulu had accepted this; whether the Insect Race appeared or not wasn’t something she could decide. Better if they didn’t appear, as peace she’d longed for all her life was within reach. If they did appear, it didn’t matter; half her life had been spent dealing with those disgusting Insect Race, so it was like returning to her old profession.
"If you inform the upper echelons of the Alliance about such dangerous creatures... do you think they’ll take it seriously?" Gu Ningzhi blinked and asked her.
"They will, but not by being wary. Instead, they’ll be excited to capture and research them, won’t they?" Gong Yulu seemed to think of something and laughed, "When I was in that world, I used my authority to view the genetic sequences of all Insect Race species..."
