Chapter 1481 - You Are Our Lucky Star

He Zhichu frowned. “When did you contact Nianzhi?”

He Chengjian did not answer him. He continued, “This genius also discovered that an important event had happened in our world at a certain historical moment, causing it to separate from the previous world and form a new world.”

“From then on, we became two separate worlds that were both identical and different at the same. In other words, a parallel space-time continuum had appeared.”

“What important event?” Gu Nianzhi asked subconsciously.

She did not actually want to know what important event it was, but as a straight-A student, she instinctively tried to figure out what she did not understand.

He Chengjian shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t know the specific event, and neither does that genius. According to him, he can’t predict what it is exactly.”

One of the most pertinent features of quantum mechanics was the principle of ‘uncertainty’.

Therefore, no one could be sure what important event had caused the world to diverge.

Gu Nianzhi concentrated and memorized every word He Chengjian had said. She planned to tell Song Jinning when she returned to the other dimension. She would definitely understand what this principle was.

He Chengjian pressed the play button again, and another image appeared.

A three-dimensional image of a lush, primitive forest appeared in front of them!

The mountain ranges rose and fell, and the blue sky was reflective. A gigantic shadow gradually revealed its huge body.

Gu Nianzhi could not help but reach out to touch the birch forest, which looked very realistic. She exclaimed in surprise, “This is the Russian Siberian Tunguska sinkhole!”

He Chengjian smiled at her and corrected her, “This is the Siberian Tunguska sinkhole on our side. Russia is on the other side.”

Gu Nianzhi, “...”

“This genius not only invented the quantum communicator, but also used the high-energy magnetic field left behind in the Tunguska region of Siberia to design a device.” He Chengjian pressed pause and the three-dimensional image focused on a square cube.

“This is the device. It can use the high-energy magnetic field to form a high-intensity magnetic resonance.”

“When the frequency of the magnetic field formed by it is consistent with the frequency of the magnetic field in the opposite space, the nodes connecting the two spaces will open. The people and things in the two spaces can instantly communicate with each other. This is how you were sent over and brought back.”

He Chengjian looked at her sympathetically.

“Nianzhi, you are the cause of all the problems.”

“If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have known that the original lunatic had already found a way to not only communicate with the opposite space, but also directly teleport people over.”

Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow. “No way? General He, you’re not even trying to be nice. I’m the victim, how can you blame me?”

“And I was only 12 at the time, a minor. I shouldn’t even have to bear any criminal responsibility if I were to commit a crime. You’re saying I’m the cause of everything? Excuse me?!”

He Chengjian lowered his eyes and fiddled with the remote control in his hand. He smiled faintly and admitted his mistake. “Okay, I phrased it wrongly. You’re not the cause of the problem. You’re our lucky star.”

“Because of you, not only did we survive in the beginning, but we have also advanced our technology to surpass the times.”

“That’s more like it.” Gu Nianzhi rested her chin on her hand and leaned against the conference table. It was better to be the lucky star than the cause of the problem.

She shifted in her seat and continued to watch He Chengjian play a new three-dimensional image.

The scene that appeared now was a luxurious hall. The crystal lights were sparkling, and there were many guests. Their clothes were fragrant, and they were laughing happily.

A chubby little girl wearing a pink diamond tiara and a pink gauze skirt, with a chubby little face and fleshy little hands, grabbed He Zhichu by the hem of his shirt and said arrogantly, “Brother, when I grow up, I want to be a lawyer.”

Gu Nianzhi’s tears came out of her eyes.

This was the twelve-year-old her?!

“... Brother He.” In the recording before them, He Zhichu corrected her calmly.

Was this the twenty-two-year-old He Zhichu?

He Zhichu was even colder than he was now. However, when he looked at Gu Nianzhi, there was a hint of warmth in his almond-shaped eyes.

“Brother He, when I grow up, I want to be a lawyer, just like Brother He’s mother!” the twelve-year-old Gu Nianzhi announced her ‘dream’ loudly.

“Yes, when you graduate from university, you can apply to law school to become a lawyer.” He Zhichu stood beside her. He bowed and pushed a birthday cake in front of her. He looked at her with a smile. “My Little Princess, blow out the candles.”

“Blow out the candles! Blow out the candles!” the guests cheered in unison.

“I must still wait until I graduate from university?! I can’t wait anymore! I want to become a lawyer tomorrow!” Gu Nianzhi, who was twelve years old, announced her birthday wish. At the same time, she puffed up her chubby little face and blew out all the candles in one go.

The crystal lights in the living room suddenly went out, and the room suddenly became very dark. It was pitch black, so dark that one couldn’t even see their fingers.

When the lights came on again, everyone in the room was standing still, except for Gu Nianzhi.

He Zhichu stood alone next to the cake, and Gu Nianzhi, who was beside him, was gone.

A pink diamond crown fell to the ground, emitting a dazzling rainbow-like halo under the crystal light.

The image paused on the pink diamond crown.

Gu Nianzhi wiped her tears with the back of her hand.

He Chengjian said plainly, “This is a recording of your twelfth birthday seven years ago.”

“You suddenly disappeared from the party. We tried everything to track you down, but in the end, we found out that it was that crazy person who had caused all this trouble. He had actually sent you to the other dimension.” He Chengjian’s voice was tinged with mockery, “At the time, we thought that you and he had both died in that car accident.”

Gu Nianzhi’s heart tightened and she quickly asked, “That genius, who exactly is he?!”

She looked at He Chengjian nervously, as if all her hopes were pinned on him.

This expression secretly moved him.

He Chengjian couldn’t help stroking her head and said, “This person is Gu Xiangwen, and he’s also your biological father.”

With that, he pulled a long face. “Even though he’s your father, I still have to say that he’s a lunatic!”

“The military and the police were very angry when he disappeared with you because there was already a murder case on him. We’ve been chasing him for more than a decade.”

“Murder case?” Gu Nianzhi was surprised. She immediately said, “My father... wouldn’t kill anyone!”

He Chengjian frowned and wisely did not discuss this with Gu Nianzhi. He merely said, “He showed up again and took you away. Although he did it quickly, he did leave a clue. This time, we searched his hiding place and found the high-energy magnetic resonance device he invented there.”

He Chengjian pointed at the square cube.

“Then, from the experiment notes he left behind, we finally concluded that you didn’t die in the car accident. Instead, you were sent into the opposite space by him.”

Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help speaking up for her father again. “He’s not crazy! You can’t talk about him like that!”

Even a crazy person would defend her father to the end, not to mention what was going on. It was still too early to make a conclusion.

Also, she had been able to get to know Huo Shaoheng because her father had sent her into the other dimension.

She was grateful for her father’s decision based on this alone.

Although she did not know why he had made this decision, when she thought of Wen Shouyi and Qin Yaoguang, Gu Nianzhi felt that it was better for her to grow up in the other dimension. Not to mention that she still had Huo Shao...

He Chengjian chuckled. “You’re not crazy? See for yourself.” he pressed play again.

The scene in front of them changed again.

Gu Nianzhi’s pupils constricted.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She saw someone walk towards the sinkhole and disappear into thin air like a special effect scene from a movie!

“... This is the high-energy magnetic field experiment that the military conducted in Tunguska Siberia, in the Soviet Union seven years ago after we found Gu Xiangwen’s high-energy magnetic field resonance device according to his experimental notes.” He Chengjian said lightly, “We’re testing the contents of his experimental notes to see if we can send him to the opposite space and bring him back.”

Gu Nianzhi quietly took out her phone and tried to secretly record the three-dimensional image in front of her.

As soon as she took her phone out, the alarm in the room rang.

He Chengjian smiled. “Nianzhi, turn your phone off.”

Gu Nianzhi was embarrassed and blushing. She watched He Zhichu take her phone away, turn it off, and place it on the conference table.

He Chengjian looked back, the smile on his face fading.

He sighed. “Originally, according to his notes, the experiment went very smoothly. The spatial node was successfully opened. First, we carried out inanimate transmission. Then carried out the transmission of living things. Finally, we carried out the transmission of humans.”

“As we were transferring humans, we discovered the major problem with this kind of transfer. The nature of the parallel space made it impossible for us to communicate with the other space on a large scale, even though our technology is far more advanced than theirs.”

Gu Nianzhi was very curious. “I’m also curious as to why there aren’t many people going there since you guys are so advanced. Moreover, every time one of them comes back, their memories have to be erased.”

He Chengjian nodded. “Yes, that’s the reason. Now, let me show you the top-secret contents of this experiment.”
