"Damn it, that hurts!"
Hu Xiao missed its target and fell face-first to the ground.
"It's you?" Huyan Lan narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and lowered her fist.
Yin Long hid by the door, trembling. "Isn't he a terrorist?"
"It can't be explained in just a few words," the girl wearing the Emperor Hero mask said, taking a deep breath. "I need your help."
"State your name," Huyan Lan demanded sharply, without backing down. "And why are you wearing the same Imperial Emperor mask and windbreaker as Su Hang?"
" Su Sui." Su Sui removed her mask and said.
"Damn it, it's you?" Hu Xiao on the ground stared wide-eyed. The other person had helped him knock out Yin Long when they were on the ferry.
" Su Sui?"
Huyan Lan was stunned. You see, Su Hang has two younger sisters: one is his half-sister Jiang Sui, and the other is his half-sister Su Sui.
"Are you Su Hang's sister?"
"It seems my brother mentioned me to you."
Su Sui smiled slightly, thinking to herself, " Sister Lan, actually I am Jiang Sui from 2035. However, I traveled to the time machine Imperial Crown, and my consciousness traveled back 20 years to the body of a 5-year-old girl named ' Su Sui '."
Huyan Lan's heart-shaped diamond earring trembled. "You... you remember Su Hang, just like me and Liuli?"
"I remember." Su Sui nodded, thinking to herself, "Although I had amnesia for ten years, after my Su Hang disappeared, my future memories returned, and I also retained memories of my Su Hang."
Huyan Lan's beautiful eyes lit up with surprise, and she quickly asked, " Suisui, oh no, Susu, what do you need us to help you with?"
"To make a long story short," Su Sui said, her face instantly turning serious. " Sister Liuli has been kidnapped by terrorists. I need your help to break out of the Imperial Fortress."
" Liuli was taken away?"
Huyan Lan's eyes turned cold. As Su Hang's first love, she had a responsibility and an obligation to protect Su Hang's wife, Liuli. She gritted her teeth and said, "These terrorists, I will absolutely not let them get away with this."
Su Sui looked up and asked, " Yin Long, are any Imperial Crown Elder-level members missing from the basement?"
"Let me see." Yin Long turned and looked into the depths of the basement, silently counted, and then answered, "No, all the Imperial Crown Elders are present."
"It was him?"
Su Sui clenched his fists. The first core member of Imperial Crown who was cleared of suspicion was actually Nurarihyon. This was something he never expected. It really proved the words of Holmes.
When all possibilities are ruled out, the least likely one is the truth!
Huyan Lan's beautiful eyes blazed with fighting spirit as she rubbed her hands together, asking, " Susu, how should we help you?"
"Hey, hey, hey, I haven't agreed yet," Yin Long hurriedly said.
clang!
Huyan Lan threw a heavy punch.
"I agree, I agree, okay?" Yin Long clutched his stomach, his body curled up like a shrimp. He had to admit that although Huyan Lan's fist hurt a lot, he felt a strange sense of nostalgia.
Huyan Lan tilted her head and asked, "And you, Hu Xiao?"
"Damn it, I'm fine with this." Hu Xiao Roar patted his chest.
Huyan Lan nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Su Sui and said, " Susu, tell me about the breakout plan."
"Mmm, Sister Lan, you guys do this and that..."
Eastern part of Imperial Crown Island.
At the top of the lighthouse, Liuli slowly opened her eyes, her consciousness gradually returning. What came into view was the dazzling light bulb. She wanted to raise her arm to shield her eyes, but suddenly found that her hands were already bound by ropes.
"Academician Liuli, how have you been?"
A man wearing a " Nurarihyon " mask walked over, holding a silver-white Desert Eagle in his hand, and letting out a cackling laugh.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Liuli panicked instantly and instinctively tried to back away, but suddenly found that not only were her hands bound, but her feet were also tied with ropes, making it impossible for her to move.
"Don't worry, Academician Liuli, I won't take your life." The masked man crouched down, twirling his Desert Eagle, a smile playing on his lips. "After all, I'm still counting on you to find Su Hang."
"You... you have the memories of your predecessor?" Liuli's beautiful eyes widened gradually.
"Of course I do."
The masked man stood up and said, "In this altered world, only four people retain Su Hang's memories: you, Huyan Lan, and the guy who traveled from the future to ruin my plans."
"From the future?" Liuli's eyes were strange. She thought to herself, "Is this guy some kind of lunatic who escaped from the Imperial Crown Mental Hospital? What exactly do you mean?"
"To put it simply, Academician Liuli, in this twisted and insane world, only one person can find Su Hang." The masked man's voice suddenly rose, and he pointed with his large hand, "That's you, Yugong Liuli!"
Liuli's heart skipped a beat. Her sixth sense told her that the person in front of her might not be a madman. "What makes you think I can find my senior?"
The masked man declared passionately, "Because you are a physicist on par with Newton and Einstein, who proposed the ' Time Reversal Formula ' and developed the world's first time machine capable of traveling back in time, the ' Imperial Crown '."
"You are the Mother of Time, a mortal being who stands shoulder to shoulder with the gods— the Purple-Haired Fox God!"
"While it certainly sounds exciting," Liuli said seriously, "I think you've got the wrong person."
The masked man was slightly taken aback. "Wrong person?"
Liuli nodded and said, "I am illiterate."
The masked man asked, half-believing, half-doubting, "Are you kidding me?"
Liuli lowered her head and said, "I have Huaxia household registration certificate in my bag. You can check it yourself."
The masked man bent down and pulled out the household registration certificate. He stared at it intently, then was instantly dumbfounded. "So she really is illiterate?"
Liuli nodded her little head.
"Did they tie him up like a Yuejing?" The masked man hurriedly pulled out his phone and dialed the Imperial Fortress front-line troops, roaring, "What the hell? Did you bunch of idiots misread the room number?"
"The person I want to kidnap is the head of the Yugong Shrine, Yugong Liuli. That girl is illiterate and has never been to school, so it definitely isn't her."
Liuli: "..."
"Did you mistake his younger brother, Yugong Nishang, for Yugong Liuli? What? The room number is correct, it's indeed Yugong Liuli."
The masked man angrily hung up the phone, gritting his teeth as he asked, "Who are you?"
With Liuli, innocent face, she replied honestly, " Yugong Liuli."
"No, no, wait a minute, this is a bit messy, let me sort it out. First of all, you are Liuli, the head of Yugong Shrine, right?"
"Yes."
"And then, you're illiterate, right?"
"Yes."
The masked man's mouth twitched violently. Was Yugong Liuli, the Mother of Time in 2035, known as the Purple-Haired Fox God, truly illiterate ten years prior in 2025?
Is this scientifically sound?
Is this reasonable?
But soon, the masked man remembered something: the reason why Liuli was determined to develop a time machine was because she wanted to travel back in time to find Su Hang. In short, it was very likely a miracle created by some kind of emotional power.
"Academician Liuli, if I told you that only by developing a time machine can Su Hang be saved, would you be willing to research it?"
