"Car accident, arson?" Wang Lei asked.
Dr. Qi Yun nodded, his expression somewhat complicated, and said, " The Doomsday Organization!"
He paused for a moment and then explained, "This is an organization that worships the end times. They treat doomsday prophecies as a belief, and they believe that the end of the world is the cleansing and Revive of this planet."
"In their eyes, it is humanity's Wuji exploitation of the planet that has brought disaster to this world, and humanity needs to be cleansed!"
At that moment, Chichi suddenly said, "That seems to make sense!"
Wang Lei rolled his eyes at him. Was this something he could just say?
They've finally managed to get close to the " Protagonist " of this world; what if this displeases the Doctor?
Forget about the PhD, don't you know we're live right now?
With just this one sentence, those Little Hei and keyboard warriors could verbally abuse you to the point of being unable to take care of yourself, believe it or not?
"Doctor, so you're saying that if no one brings the Overlap Loop Device to the Mirror Space-Time, then the Space-Time Overlap cannot be achieved?"
"Yes!"
"Does each Space-Time Overlap only last for twelve years?"
"As the number of people traveling to the Mirror Space-Time increases, the duration of the Overlap Loop will also increase. If it can reach over a hundred years, perhaps we can try to activate the Backward Loop."
Wang Lei and Chichi weren't researchers, so they were starting to feel overwhelmed by what they were hearing.
The professor thought for a moment, then picked up two rulers and placed them side by side on the table, with a pen between them.
"Assuming the ruler above represents our spacetime, and the one below represents Mirror Space-Time, then this pen is..."
"Our current point in spacetime?" Chichi answered quickly!
Wang Lei shook his head and said, "No, I think this timeline should be 2012!"
The professor gave Wang Lei an approving look and said, "That's right, this timeline isn't our current timeline; it's 2012!"
The professor looked around, then took out a few paperclips from the box next to him and said, "There are two types of Spacetime Overlap Loop Device: one is Forward Loop, and the other is Backward Loop."
The professor placed two paperclips on either side of the pen.
Wang Lei and Chichi instantly understood what he meant!
Chichi, "So it's the past and the future?"
After a moment's thought, Wang Lei suddenly realized, "In other words, the previous Space-Time Overlap was too short, so it could only overlap with Mirror Space-Time before this point in time."
"If the Mirror Space-Time after 2012 overlap, will our world overlap and become an apocalypse?"
"Not entirely accurate, but that's the gist of it!" the doctor nodded.
"But what if the Overlap Loop length is sufficient..."
After moving the paperclip on the right a few notches to the right, the professor said, "For example, a hundred years from now, the catastrophe in the Mirror Space-Time should have passed, and humanity's home should have been partially rebuilt."
Taking a deep breath, the professor said with slight excitement, "Do you know what the key point of the Backward Loop is?"
"The disaster is over!" Wang Lei murmured, looking at the two rulers.
Wang Lei and Chichi were utterly shocked. This PhD student was amazing; he was simply phenomenal.
This is equivalent to allowing this timeline to skip the disaster entirely.
"How can we increase the duration of this Overlap Loop?" Chichi asked.
" Mirror Person!" the doctor uttered three words.
" Mirror Person " is what we call someone who is not repelled by Quantum Loop.
"To be precise, it is the number of Mirror Person that determines the length of the Overlap Loop."
This setup is a bit illogical!
"Is there anything special about these Mirror Person?" Chichi asked.
"There are two types of Mirror Person," the doctor explained.
"A type of Mirror Person, whose bodies contain the Power of Space-Time!"
Wang Lei and Chichi were confused again. The Power of Space-Time? Superpowers? Could these people really travel through time or something?
"I don't know if you've heard of the Sergei Incident in 2006!" the doctor asked.
Wang Lei shook his head; he had never heard of this before.
But Chichi thought for a moment and said, "I know, this person is supposedly the only confirmed time traveler, supposedly traveling from 1958 to 2006!"
"Really?" Wang Lei asked incredulously.
"I don't know. This Sergei traveled to 2006 and was taken to the Inspection Bureau because of his identity. He said he was born in 1932."
"He also detailed his birthplace and all his experiences before time travel. Crucially, local inspectors actually found Sergei's birth information in the database for 1932."
"I didn't believe it before, but now that the doctor has brought it up, it's most likely that Sergei is true."
After a pause, Chichi added, "At least in this timeline, it's real!"
However, Chichi said this to the viewers watching the live stream.
It means that this is the world of movies, a world that has been processed by directors, so don't take it seriously.
Wang Lei understood what Chichi meant and gave Chichi's supplementary explanation a thumbs up.
The doctor, without giving it much thought, explained, "This Sergei is Mirror Person with the Power of Space-Time."
"Or rather, due to certain natural or unnatural factors, Power of Space-Time has been generated within them, more precisely, Quantum Loop."
"If, under certain conditions, the energy field of Quantum Loop is amplified, it may be possible to travel to Mirror Space-Time."
"Like getting an electric shock?" Chichi joked.
The doctor smiled and nodded, "Yes, like electric shock."
"What about the other one?" Wang Lei asked.
The doctor pointed at Wang Lei and Chichi, "The other type is people like you, who don't have the Space-Time Imprint on them."
"What exactly is the Space-Time Imprint?" Chichi asked.
"This is a bit complicated to explain, but it's roughly similar to genes, except that genes are at the Quantum level. The essence of the world is Quantum sequence, do you understand that?"
The two looked at each other and nodded.
Whether you understand or not, nod first.
" The Quantum sequences of matter in different times and spaces are different, but there are some extremely special existences that have no Quantum sequence at all!"
No genes? How is that possible?
Their genes are composed of Disordered Quantum!
The professor also knew that explaining this was a bit difficult, since Wang Lei and Chichi weren't scientists; they just needed to have a general idea.
Instead of continuing the explanation, he said, "We use this kind of Disordered Quantum matter to build our Spacetime Overlap Loop Device."
"This substance is very rare. To date, we have only created two. We used one in 2012 and successfully achieved the Space-Time Overlap."
Taking a deep breath, the professor said, "In other words, there's one more chance for Space-Time Overlap!"
"Furthermore, in order to completely prevent this spacetime from disaster, I will set this device to Backward Loop."
At this point, the professor looked at Wang Lei and Chichi.
"I know this request is unreasonable, but I hope you can become Mirror Person!"
"Will the Mirror Person disappear as Space-Time Overlap?" Chichi asked.
The doctor shook his head. "No, based on my deduction, you will most likely be trapped in the spacetime of the Newborn, never to return!"
Chichi was a little confused. "If Space-Time Overlap, then the Mirror Space-Time will disappear, right?"
Wang Lei understood the doctor's meaning and tried to comprehend it, saying, "From the moment we enter the Mirror Space-Time, the Mirror Dimension will branch out its own Mirror Space-Time."
"The opposite is a parallel universe, meaning a parallel universe within this spacetime."
In other words, we may have to stay in the post-apocalyptic world forever!
At this point, regardless of whether Chichi understood, Wang Lei asked the doctor, "Doctor, have you considered that the world after the disaster might be worse than you imagine?"
Wang Lei said this because their "time travel" cheat code this time was the Infinite Resource Copy System.
This cheat system seems more suited to the post-apocalyptic environment.
The world after that disaster would likely be in a very bad state.
Not only have humanity failed to rebuild their home, but they are likely still living in a terrible environment with extremely scarce resources.
Otherwise, this cheat code would be worthless.
Perhaps the disaster of 2012 was just the beginning.
More, continuous, and despairing disasters await humanity.
"I had no choice but to find as many Mirror Person as possible to increase the length of the Backward Loop!"
Wang Lei shook his head. Perhaps the future was worse than he imagined.
But Wang Lei wouldn't try to influence the doctor's decision, and of course, he couldn't!
After all, Wang Lei was only speculating; he had no way of knowing whether the outcome would be good or bad.
They were unaware of the plot of this world.
"Doctor, could we consider this?" Wang Lei said.
A glint flashed in Dr. Qi Yun's eyes. After staring at Wang Lei for a few seconds, he said, "Then let's stay at the experimental base for now!"
"Perhaps you don't know, but from the moment you came into contact with me, you were already being watched by the Doomsday Organization. I need to be responsible for your safety."
Neither Wang Lei nor Chichi said anything.
Afterwards, the doctor called two people, who led Wang Lei and Chichi through a maze of turns to a private room in the experimental base.
They simply locked it inside.
Yes, it's closed.
"Wouldn't you say we've Luowang?" Chichi laughed.
"The doctor definitely won't let us leave. With less than a month left, finding other Mirror Person will be very difficult."
"Without us, following the usual movie formula, there would definitely be Mirror Person, or the doctor would find a way to do it without Mirror Person; otherwise, his plan would have failed."
Wang Lei nodded. "I think the second possibility is more likely, and the key point is probably in these overlapping objects."
You mean the main quest?
"Yes, two of the first three quests involve finding something that Space-Time Overlap, like the Mona Lisa's Smile. This must be a key item."
"But how are we supposed to find other objects that Space-Time Overlap now? And this time they didn't even give us any hints about what those Space-Time Overlap objects are, so finding them might not be easy."
"It's actually not difficult!" Wang Lei said with a smile.
"What do you mean?"
" The Mandela Effect is the clue, and I've also had Will contact Ling Yi!"
In Dafeng City, Ling Yi, who was having a meal at a restaurant, couldn't help but purse his lips after reading the unexpectedly extra messages on his phone.
Is there no way for Wang Lei to get out? Of course not.
Putting everything else aside, with Will and Nanofactor, that lab can't stop him.
This is clearly an attempt to slack off.
He glanced at Yang Jinli, who was devouring a meat pie, and said, "Looks like we can't be lazy anymore. We'll go abroad this afternoon."
"Going abroad? What for?"
"Robbery!"
