Chapter 1160: Chapter 972: You Are the Real Rescuer

Song Lan demonstrated with practical action how to deal with a formidable enemy who had been hiding in the shadows for years, regarding you as the ultimate imaginary foe, and had been plotting to eliminate you—you only need to rewind time back several years before he made any preparations, and you could nip all threats in the bud.

The faces of the people in the corridor became clear, perhaps in the blink of an eye, Qi He and his companion could clearly see everyone’s appearance, and the conversations in the corridor also became clearer. After the Psychic Research Institution took the people away, he overheard other family members’ envious whispers.

In that era, the Psychic Research Institution was everyone’s hope, and people believed that they held the key to curing strange diseases.

"I thought I would return to my younger days."

Gustav looked down at his own hands.

If their physical age had also been reversed, their trio would probably have become a duo immediately.

Anjing was not yet born during the "Witch Hunt Movement" era.

"Isn’t this kind of scene common in the movies by Kolo Film Industry? The future self sends important information to the past self, thereby changing the future."

Song Lan looked at the restless streets outside the window.

At this moment, the doctors and family members in the corridor also noticed them, casting strange glances unanimously.

These few people...

When did they appear?

They felt a brief lapse in consciousness, and when they regained clarity, these uninvited guests were already here.

Among them, the most conspicuous was undoubtedly the "Emperor", a Terminator-like figure which was rare in that era. The combination of this group made them look like secret agents from the United Government.

Despite being filled with curiosity, no one dared to approach and talk.

"Changing the past is not easy; you must have heard of the butterfly effect."

Hearing this, Qi He remained noncommittal, "We definitely shouldn’t be in this time point; any small thing we do could have a severe impact on the future... I will try to avoid contact with others as much as possible."

"Not just that."

Song Lan added, "Any attempt to change the past might provoke a backlash from fate, and the more severe the impact on the future, the stronger the backlash will be."

"Backlash?"

"You can think of it as misfortune, for example, Jiu is destined to live until 2167, if you try to kill him in this era, any object near you could become a lethal weapon to stop you. Rain could turn into blades, dust into poison, even a small stone on the street can trip you enough to cost you your life; the key lies in whether you can deceive fate."

This is similar to when you need a character who was confirmed dead in previous parts of a game to reappear, you can simply use the line "I wasn’t there at that time" to explain.

"So, how do we return to the year 2167?"

Anjing asked.

She had no fondness for this era; for psychics, it was a chaotic period where walking on the street could mean a potential assassination at any time, wherever they went, they would be viewed with fear and hatred.

"After you finish the tasks, you can meet us at a bar here."

Song Lan said casually, as if traveling through time was no different from a trip elsewhere.

Some people travel to other cities, he just travels to other timepoints.

Both are travels, there shouldn’t be any fundamental difference.

"Understood."

However, for Qi He, time was of the essence. His brain was working rapidly, desperately trying to awaken those sealed memories.

They had less than three days.

According to intelligence he later retrieved through the foundation, the psychics taken away by the Psychic Research Institution only stayed there for three days, before being sent to an unknown place.

And now, he was fairly certain that the unknown place was a prison; they were all sent to D Zone, and underwent many unimaginable experiments to complete the transformation Ceremony.

They must get there before Jiu; once the handover was completed, with the three of their abilities, it would be impossible to rescue someone from the prison.

After the three quickly left, Lu Xiang said with some implication, "You seem quite experienced."

Using the popular internet slang recently, it might be described as "people who frequently change timelines know that changing the past is not easy."

The specifics, like daggers raining from the sky and dust turning into poison, are details that are hard to conceive unless experienced firsthand, "Are you frequently punished by fate?"

Presumably, Song Lan’s enemies always live in anguish. Whenever they think they have grasped the secrets of Song Lan’s abilities, he would suddenly manifest a new skill powerful enough to defeat all plans and imaginations.

Even Lu Xiang didn’t know how many unseen skills this Dumb Bird hid in his skill list, and the new ability presented now was almost unthinkable for any countermeasures or deciphering.

If this Dumb Bird was malicious, he could easily rewind time to the moment you were born and, before you formed any consciousness, strangle you in your cradle.
