Chapter 1153: Here

Editor: Henyee Translations

“Sister, we are leaving for Jin City.” Feng Jue came to find Gu Yang.

Gu Yang looked at the bright and spirited young man before her. The thought of their impending parting made her heart swell with reluctance.

Suppressing her emotions, she replied, “You guys go ahead to the venue. I still have something to take care of. I’ll join you later.”

Though puzzled, Feng Jue sensed her hesitance and didn’t press for details. Instead, he gazed at her with a mix of affection and expectation, saying, “Just make sure you come early to watch us win the world championship.”

Gu Yang studied the youthful and eager Feng Jue in front of her, her mind drifting to the distant future–the Feng Jue who had been waiting for her.

If it weren’t for the light cone experiment at Katie Manor, Team Blue Whale would have recruited enough members and returned to compete, tirelessly striving for the world championship.

In the past, she had asked Feng Jue to make a choice. She had chosen the white moonlight of Cloud Rising Orphanage, just as he had chosen to remain true to himself at that time.

However, she never expected that this choice would fall on her today.

It was truly a dilemma.

Gu Yang held back her tears and reached out to rub Feng Jue’s head, forcing a bright smile. “I will. I’ll be there to watch you guys win the world championship trophy.”

But not now. In the distant future.

Gu Yang had a thousand things she wanted to say, yet she didn’t know where to begin.

Feng Jue was very perceptive, and she worried that saying too much would raise his suspicions.

All she could do was urge him, “Go on, don’t be late.”

Feng Jue nodded obediently. Before leaving, he reminded her, “You must come, Sister.”

Gu Yang nodded and watched as he gradually disappeared into the distance.

At that moment, the children in the orphanage were in class, the sound of reading drifting from the classroom building. The teenagers walked out of the doors, filled with dreams.

Everything seemed peaceful and quiet, just like any ordinary morning in the past.

Gu Yang walked into the newly built laboratory building nearby. It was the space where the children had their experimental classes. Since those classes were held in the afternoon, the place was empty now.

She walked into a physics laboratory and began sorting through the equipment inside.

When she picked up a bracelet-sized Mobius Ring from the ground, her gaze froze momentarily.

She recalled what the physicist had said in the underground laboratory at Katie Manor: during the light cone experiment at Cloud Rising Orphanage, the carrier of the UO was also the Mobius Ring.

The UO was bound to her and would manifest once her SSS level reached 100%.

As for her mental strength, Gu Yang hadn’t tested it, but she could feel it increasing along with her recovering memories.

If she was right, once she fully regained her memories, her SSS-rank mental strength would also be restored to 100%.

Perhaps, at this moment, the Mobius Ring in her hand was the UO itself.

Gu Yang studied the Mobius Ring, her eyes deep in thought.

In the underground laboratory at Katie Manor, the physicist had shared so much information. Was it meant for the others in the Utopia Organization, or for her, who had been unconscious yet aware?

“Hands up! Don’t move!”

‘Here we go.’

In that instant, Gu Yang felt a sense of calm wash over her.

She slipped the Mobius Ring onto her wrist like a bracelet and looked up to see a group of men in black, armed with guns.

Those people barged into the laboratory, surrounding her with their guns drawn.

A middle-aged man in a black cloak entered alongside a white-haired old man in a lab coat. The old man held a compass-like detector, and when he looked at Gu Yang, his eyes sparkled with fanaticism.

Gu Yang deduced that this was likely the deranged physicist.

The middle-aged man beside him didn’t appear to be Chinese; instead of a cloak, he wore a burqa that reflected the characteristics of a specific ethnic group.

Suddenly, Gu Yang recalled a few years ago, when a country had been embroiled in war due to its wealth and had ultimately fallen apart.

The physicists treated this man with deference.

As she met his gaze, Gu Yang felt a sense of familiarity wash over her.

This must be Ji Minghui’s true appearance.

“Ryan Noble, we meet again.”
