462: They told me the ending...

After walking out of the barrier, Fuji had Meiling restore his hearing, and he was brought to the test site by the data turbulence.

At this moment, Romisius, Jacob, and Demulan had already been waiting at the test site for a long time.

What surprised Fuji was the fleeting madness and joy in Romisius's eyes.

He was biting his thumb, staring blankly into empty space.

"Even if it's real time travel, there's no need to be this excited, right?" Fuji asked, somewhat surprised.

Hearing Fuji's voice, Romisius suddenly snapped back to reality; his eyes darted away, and his speech was stuttering.

"Oh, yes, haha, after all, having researched this for so long, it's hard not to be a little expectant."

Hearing Fuji's question, Jacob jumped to conclusions, assuming Romisius's state just now was due to the impending time travel.

"Let's all go in; I'm quite looking forward to it too." Jacob pointed toward the Time Shuttle.

"I want to bring Meiling," Fuji said slowly.

Hearing this, Jacob was taken aback, and his expression became somewhat troubled.

But before Jacob could speak, Fuji said first:

"I have already cleared the dissenters."

"The rest can be handled by Hafke's security; even if Meiling isn't here, it won't have any impact."

"Well... alright then." After hesitating, Jacob nodded.

The group entered the Time Shuttle one by one, then closed the hatch.

Inside the Time Shuttle, Fuji was in the cockpit performing various complex operations.

On the other hand, Jacob, Romisius, and the others were sitting on the circular sofa in the lounge.

There was even high-quality tea already prepared on the table.

"I used to think that time travel required lying in a stasis pod..."

Demulan looked around and exclaimed in admiration.

Romisius smiled and shook his head.

"That method is already outdated for me."

"Rather than calling it a Time Shuttle, I prefer to call it time travel."

"See the windows here?"

"In a moment, you will be able to see millions of years of change flash past our eyes in high-speed form."

Hearing Romisius describe it so vividly, Demulan couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

As for Jacob, who was to the side, he frowned while holding the communication device in his hand.

Deep down, he didn't want to use it, but he was constrained by the promise he had made to Romisius.

"Doctor, even if communication is established, I can choose not to speak and just listen to the voice on the other side, right?"

"Correct."

"Then, is there a possibility that I could be discovered by the other party while I'm listening?"

Romisius shook his head decisively.

"Rest assured, we are currently at the absolute forefront of technology."

Hearing Romisius's reassurance, Jacob let out a slight sigh of relief.

Just as he was preparing to use it according to what Romisius had taught him before Fuji arrived, Fuji's voice came over the broadcast.

"Are you ready? We're about to depart."

As his voice fell, holographic screen options appeared in front of all three of them simultaneously.

The three of them clicked confirm without hesitation.

In the cockpit, Fuji received the departure confirmation and decisively started the Time Shuttle.

The next second. Whoosh————!!

The Time Shuttle began to flicker and stutter in place, as if it were being frame-skipped.

At the same time, the group of Liu Yan, whom no one could see, had their pupils constrict.

"Now! Pull them in!!"

"Quick!!"

Many of them immediately pulled out their tear of the ocean.

But some of them, after checking the energy of their tear of the ocean, helplessly put them away.

It looked like friends eating together, fighting to pay the bill, where those without money checked their phones to see insufficient balance and silently hid to the side.

... Time Shuttle lounge.

The moment the machine started, Romisius and the others looked out the window with anticipation.

The changes of time flowing backward that Romisius had initially described did not appear.

Instead, in an instant, the outside turned into endless black...

"What's going on?"

Jacob, who was just about to press the button on the communication device, furrowed his brows.

"This... this is impossible. Logically speaking, when traveling through time, we should be able to see time flowing backward."

"The current situation... is more like..."

"Like what?"

"Traveled through space?" Romisius's tone was somewhat uncertain.

"Meiling, please help me establish a connection with Fuji."

"Understood."

Hearing the faint sound of operations from Fuji's side, Romisius confirmed that communication had been established.

"Fuji, what is the situation now?"

"Ask yourself; my operations didn't have a single error."

Fuji's serious voice entered Romisius's ears.

Seeing this, he became somewhat unsettled.

He hurriedly stood up and went to the window to look outside. After staring for a long while, a trace of joy finally appeared in Romisius's eyes.

"Look! Look quickly!"

"Do you remember that place?!"

The two of them stood up and looked in the direction Romisius was pointing.

At this sight, the two were completely dumbfounded.

Outside the window... it wasn't pitch black at all...

It was clearly the universe...

And what Romisius was pointing at were clearly the various worlds from before...

Seeing this, Demulan quickly touched the area near her temple.

Instantly, a holographic lens appeared.

Through the magnification and long-range view of the holographic lens, Demulan clearly saw the appearance of those worlds.

"These... are all the appearances of worlds that Hafke has never been to."

"Of course! Because we have returned to the past!"

Romisius said happily.

Hearing this, Jacob also slowly revealed a smile.

But Demulan's expression was still somewhat puzzled.

"But why is it completely static?"

Romisius was stunned for a moment, then said:

"Maybe it's because we have just shuttled to the very beginning of time, so those worlds are still in their original state."

"I have to say, it is indeed different from what I originally envisioned, but that's normal."

"But regardless, it's a success."

Demulan stood watching those worlds outside the window.

Each one retained the appearance it had before Hafke went there, and they were completely static.

They seemed to be waiting for something.

It was just like a dungeon in a game; it wouldn't have any movement before the protagonist entered.

After confirming that the Time Shuttle hadn't encountered any accidents, Jacob finally breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the communication device to press the button.

Click————

After pressing the button on the communication device, Jacob pressed it against his ear.

"Why is there no sound..."

"That just means you died in that parallel universe. Just switch again," Romisius said nonchalantly.

Jacob was somewhat speechless.

Although it was a parallel universe version of himself, it still felt a bit awkward to hear.

Following what the other party said, he tapped the communication device a few times, then held it to his ear again.

From the perspective of Romisius and Demulan, Jacob's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

Finally, after switching an unknown number of times, Jacob abruptly stood up.

"Meiling, please help me mute my voice."

"Understood."

As Meiling's voice faded, Jacob held the communication device, his lips moving slightly.

No matter what he said, Demulan and Romisius couldn't hear him.

However, as time passed minute by minute, the two could clearly see the panic on Jacob's face.

After cutting off the communication, Jacob looked blankly at Romisius and Demulan.

Then he slumped onto the sofa.

"What's wrong? What did you talk to them about?"

Facing Romisius's question, Jacob looked at him powerlessly.

Just as he was about to speak, he glanced toward the cockpit, then pulled a blue pen from his chest.

Jacob took the pen and traced it in mid-air.

Subsequently, a line of clear text appeared before Romisius and Demulan.

I know what Liu Yan is planning to do...

They told me... the ending...
