"You said that mysterious man wanted to take back something? Did you steal something from him?" Li Yunshen asked tentatively.
"I don't even know this mysterious person, how would I know what I stole from him?" Ling Yi shrugged. "It's completely inexplicable!"
"However, one thing is certain: this mysterious person is no decent individual. This news, no matter how you look at it, seems like the work of a villain."
Li Yunshen rolled his eyes at Ling Yi: "I think you're the villain!" Ling Yi shrugged and said, "I'm a good guy!"
Just then, Guan Ling rushed over, arriving in front of Ling Yi and the other person almost in the blink of an eye. Panting, she exclaimed, "Something terrible has happened! Spacetime Mirage has appeared in Baihai City!"
" Baihai City, Spacetime Mirage? Could Spacetime Tide really appear?" Li Yunshen exclaimed in shock.
Ling Yi patted his shoulder and said, " Spacetime Tide, Spacetime Mirage, and all that stuff, that's what that mysterious man said. You actually believe him? Maybe he's the one who created all this."
"I'll go back and check first!" Ling Yi said, then soared into the air, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing, leaving only Li Yunshen looking at each other in bewilderment.
" Ling Yi's strength is getting stronger and stronger. I tested his Battle Power before, and it was exactly 1000 points. That's a whopping 1000 points! He's practically superhuman!" Li Yunshen said with some envy.
"And this guy could have taken us with him!" Li Yunshen said, frustrated. Guan Ling turned and ran outside, and soon the sound of a car engine filled the air.
{This script session has ended. 0/3 script generation attempts remaining, 5/7 words remaining for modification!}
[Confirm][Cancel]
Ling Yi read the script several times. Although the script didn't contain much content, it revealed a lot of information.
"This mysterious person seems to be a big problem after all. It seems I was wrong before; this Spacetime Tide has nothing to do with me."
"Since it has nothing to do with me, yet Spacetime Mirage still appeared, that means the Spacetime Tide were most likely caused by this mysterious person!"
Ling Yi rubbed the ring on his thumb, which was actually Spacetime Folding Device, and murmured, "Mysterious man, you're about to be caught by me!"
" Ling Yi, what are you muttering about so late at night? Go to sleep!" Liu Yunxiang murmured at this moment.
"Okay, time for bed!"
Ling Yi glanced at the script in the text box again, then changed "one thousand" to "one hundred thousand" and clicked [OK].
However, I've already used up all my script generation attempts for today, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to use them and claim my revision rewards ahead of time.
"The number of script attempts is still too low. Ever since the system's intelligent module went into hibernation, it's been difficult to even trigger tasks. I wonder what the system's original task triggering mechanism was like."
"Never mind, let's go to sleep!"
When Ling Yi woke up again, it was still around nine o'clock, but Liu Yunxiang was no longer there.
Liu Yunxiang has a habit of jogging in the morning, so she gets up very early every day.
Unlike Ling Yi, who, since becoming rich, has been sleeping in until he naturally wakes up every day and living a very comfortable life.
Ling Yi stretched, quickly washed up, and went to the living room.
He glanced at Li Yunshen and Guan Ling sitting on the sofa and chuckled, "Oh, Young Master Li, what brings you here again? What, did the mysterious person send you another message?"
"How did you know?" Li Yunshen stood up abruptly.
"Not only do I know that the mysterious person sent you a message, but I also know what it was. Do you believe me?" Ling Yi sat down opposite the two of them.
"Sit down, calm down," Ling Yi said, waving his hand at Li Yunshen.
"Could it be that you are that mysterious person?" Li Yunshen asked, frowning as he sat down and stared at Ling Yi.
Ling Yi was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes dramatically.
Guan Ling, standing beside him, also looked at Ling Yi with a serious expression.
"No, you don't actually think I'm that mysterious person, do you?"
"Do you really know what the mysterious person sent me?" Li Yunshen asked.
"When I return, I will take back everything!" After Ling Yi finished speaking, he noticed that Li Yunshen and Guan Ling were looking at him with strange expressions.
Li Yunshen and Guan Ling exchanged a glance, and Guan Ling nodded slightly.
Li Yunshen breath and handed the phone to Ling Yi: "See for yourself!"
Ling Yi took the phone; the screen displayed a text message.
The source of the text message is unknown, but the message itself is a very long paragraph.
The message reads, "[I'm sorry, it was my theft of Spacetime Energy that caused this disaster. I failed to stop the Spacetime Tide, and all of Spacetime Tide has been swallowed up by them.]"
[Please tell my past self from ten years ago as soon as possible that I should give up stealing Spacetime Energy; I am the future Ling Yi.]
After reading the text message, Ling Yi had the same expression as an old man on the subway looking at his phone.
Was the mysterious person myself?
It seems quite possible. After all, it wouldn't be surprising if my future self possessed the ability to control time and space.
But then, Ling Yi shook his head. "That's not right!"
This mysterious person could never be your future self.
If it really is your future self, then you could just send a message to yourself. Why send a message to someone as unrelated as Li Yunshen?
Furthermore, in the previous script, the mysterious man sent Li Yunshen the message: "[When I return, I will reclaim everything!]"
Why has it changed now?
Am I developing a split personality?
No matter how I think about it, I feel there's a big problem here.
The mysterious person's information was naturally more than just this one piece; Ling Yi scrolled up the phone screen.
He began reviewing the messages the mysterious person had sent to Li Yunshen in the past.
The first message was sent at 4:22:45 PM on May 28th!
Putting aside the content of the information, the timing is highly problematic.
This was the time when I generated my first script after leaving Qingmeng Media and receiving the "golden finger" (a powerful cheat code).
Ling Yi forgot the exact number of seconds, but the timing was perfect, down to the minute.
The message reads, "[I come from the future. In Baihai City, there is a man named Ling Yi. His ex-wife is Bai Xiaoqing. I believe you should be able to find out easily!]"
[A large sum of money will soon be deposited into his bank account. Please increase the security level of his bank account and grant him the maximum access privileges.]
To show my sincerity, I have sent you a complete document on Quantum Communication Technology.
This is the content of the first text message.
"No wonder my bank account is working fine; it turns out it was the mysterious person's help."
It's important to know that the government has specialized Surveillance agencies that monitor the transfer of huge sums of money.
If any abnormalities are detected, the official authorities have the right to freeze the account directly.
Damn, looking at it this way, the mysterious man seems more like a future version of yourself.
The second message is two days later.
During this time, Li Yunshen also tried sending messages to the mysterious person.
However, all the messages failed to send, meaning that Li Yunshen could only receive messages, but could not send messages to the mysterious person.
The second one was much shorter and had nothing to do with Ling Yi.
[ The Full Moon AI technology has some flaws and may be exploited by other countries in the future. The complete code has been sent to your email.]
The third message came two days later.
This time there's more content.
[Ten years from now, Spacetime Mirage will appear in your world. The appearance of this Spacetime Mirage signifies the imminent arrival of Spacetime Tide, which will devour all of Spacetime Tide.]
[To withstand the Spacetime Tide, a Spacetime Folding Device Spacetime Folding Device must be created. Only Ling Yi possesses the technology for this device; in fact, Ling Yi already has a Spacetime Folding Device product.]
