He Zhichu lowered his eyes. The darkness concealed his line of sight, and his cold and clear voice pierced through the sea of darkness.
He said, “Yes, he’s Major General Huo’s counterpart. Look, there’s also Huo Shaoheng over here. Have you given up now?”
Gu Nianzhi was enraged by his words and raised her head. “Give up? Why should I give up? Even if he’s… Huo Shaoheng’s counterpart, I won’t give up!”
He Zhichu chuckled and looked at her indifferently. “Then what do you want to do?”
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and looked stubborn. She remembered seeing that man kissing Lina so affectionately that their faces were a mess. She gritted her teeth and said, “I’ll kill him!”
As long as he was dead, Huo Shaoheng would naturally be cleared of any obstacles.
He Zhichu was so angry that he laughed. He asked in return, “Do you really know who he is? If you want to kill him, you might as well kill yourself so that you don’t get into big trouble!”
“He’s the Soviet KGB’s trump card in the Far East! Nobody has seen his face in more than a decade!”
“This time, for America’s Dresden, the Soviets made a deal with us to show their sincerity by asking him to come over and receive us.”
“So, you want to kill the KGB’s trump card?”
He Zhichu pointed at her with his cigarette between his fingers. “Even Mr. X, the most powerful secret service agent of the CIA, doesn’t dare to boast like this. Should I say that you’re a newborn calf that isn’t afraid of tigers, or that ignorant people are fearless?”
Gu Nianzhi: “…”
She turned her head and speechless, she looked at the undulating surface of the sea.
“Don’t say I didn’t tell you. We don’t have enough energy to support another magnetic resonance, so we won’t be able to open the passage to that side for a hundred years.” He Zhichu took out a lighter. He tossed it up and down. “Do you know what this means?”
“You’ve said it before.” Gu Nianzhi rested her hands on the railing of the ship and looked at the moon in the sky with a stiff expression on her face. “It’s not that I don’t believe you, but I’m confused. Why didn’t you worry about running out of energy when you and Wen Shouyi used to come and go as you pleased?”
He Zhichu turned on the lighter and lit another cigarette for himself. He said, “Actually, this is also an unsolved case. The energy we have stored can last for a thousand years. We shouldn’t have run out so quickly.”
Gu Nianzhi: “…”
He Zhichu took a drag on his cigarette and slowly blew out a smoke ring. He said, “Do you remember when Qin Zhining took you over, you didn’t go straight back to the imperial capital. Instead, you inexplicably went to Snake Island in the Caribbean Sea?”
Gu Nianzhi nodded. “Fortunately, Qin Zhining was stupid enough. Otherwise, I would have suffered even more.”
He Zhichu didn’t smile. Like a moving picture under the moonlight, his eyes were deep and meaningful.
He turned around and sat on the railing. His long legs stretched on the deck as he looked at the situation inside the French window. He said calmly, “Actually, there was an accident when we picked you up. The magnetic resonance machine was suddenly affected by a strong magnetic field. It was as if another force was fighting with us for your coordinates.”
“The loss of energy suddenly increased by hundreds or thousands of times. Finally, our staff remembered that I hadn’t returned yet. They were worried that all the energy would be exhausted, so they hastily cut off the connection, so you and Qin Zhining were thrown to Snake Island in the Caribbean Sea.”
After He Zhichu finished speaking, he looked at her and reached out to pick up the long hair tied up at the back of her head. He put it in front of his nose and sniffed it. He said, “But don’t worry, the magnetic field energy that was fighting us for your coordinates didn’t go well either. When the two armies fought, we lost 1,000 of our own and they lost 800 of theirs. Their situation is worse than ours.”
Gu Nianzhi understood one thing from He Zhichu’s vague description.
It was something that had gone wrong when she had first arrived. In that short span of ten seconds, she had almost exhausted all the high-energy magnetic field energy in this world.
“When you returned to this world, your energy was completely used up?” Gu Nianzhi turned to look at He Zhichu.
He Zhichu nodded and said meaningfully, “That’s about it. The current energy is only enough to monitor the magnetic field of the other side. But if they really want to do something, there’s nothing we can do to stop them.”
He Zhichu also turned to look at Gu Nianzhi. His face was expressionless, but his meaning was clear.
He hadn’t planned to tell Gu Nianzhi about this matter in detail.
But now that the dust had settled, even if Huo Shaoheng came over, he wouldn’t cause them any harm. Moreover, seeing how sad Gu Nianzhi was, he had told her everything in order to make her give up completely.
Her eyes sparkling, Gu Nianzhi blinked. “You can still monitor the magnetic field over there? How? Can you make a phone call?”
He Zhichu snorted with a half-hearted smile on his face, “I know what you’re thinking. Yes, they haven’t given up and are still trying to find the frequency of the magnetic resonance. However, my father has already told them about the physics of parallel space. If they’re not afraid of death, they can come over.”
Gu Nianzhi’s heart tightened. She understood what He Zhichu meant.
“You want to call that side?” He Zhichu looked at her calmly. “Contact that side? Wait for them to achieve a technological breakthrough and open a passage for you to pass through?”
Gu Nianzhi didn’t say anything, but it was obvious that that was what she meant.
He Zhichu shook his head. “It would be great if it was that simple. Don’t think about it. Even if they open the magnetic passage, you won’t be able to pass through.”
“Why?!” Gu Nianzhi’s eyes reddened again. This was her last hope.
When she saw the KGB’s Far East Ace last night, she knew that this was the only way.
Huo Shaoheng couldn’t come over, so she had to go over there.
There was no energy here. She could only hope that they could find the frequency of the magnetic resonance and open the magnetic channel so she could go over.
However, He Zhichu didn’t hesitate to crush her last hope.
Gu Nianzhi took a step forward and grabbed He Zhichu’s lapel. She said angrily, “Speak clearly! Why can’t I?! I can definitely go there myself! You and Wen Shouyi can come and go as you please!”
He Zhichu grabbed her hand that was grabbing his lapel and pulled it down. He said indifferently, “Because they didn’t mark your human magnetic field data, so they can’t let you enter the magnetic resonance channel they opened.”
“Human magnetic field data? !” Gu Nianzhi’s mouth twitched. She didn’t know anything about high-energy physics. It was really depressing.
“You know that the human body also has a magnetic field, even though it’s very weak.” He Zhichu raised his hand that was holding the cigarette and stared at Gu Nianzhi’s pretty little face, “Everyone’s magnetic field is different, just like DNA. It’s also a unique symbol for every human body.”
“The biggest function of a magnetic field resonator is to identify the frequency of the magnetic field, including the frequency of the human body, the natural world, and the space-time magnetic field.”
“When the magnetic field resonator opens the magnetic field channel, only the human body’s magnetic field that it can identify can enter the space-time opposite through the magnetic field that it opens. “He Zhichu’s thin lips curled up slightly to reveal a mocking smile. “As for the magnetic resonance machine on the other side, it has been in secret research for so many years. You left their world before they had the time to mark your human magnetic field, so even if they open the magnetic field channel, you won’t be able to get through.”
Gu Nianzhi felt as if she had been struck by a heavy blow. She staggered back a few steps. “They have to mark the human magnetic field? !”
“Of course. Do you think the magnetic resonance machine is that powerful? You can just open it up and send an army of thousands of soldiers over?” He Zhichu looked at her calmly. “My father Wwon’t tell you this, but I don’t want to hide it from you, or give you false hope and unrealistic fantasies.”
Gu Nianzhi’s expression was volatile. She clenched her fists and quickly found a loophole. She sneered. “Don’t try to trick me. If you didn’t mark my magnetic field data on your side, why were you ablt to kidnap me?”
He Zhichu raised an eyebrow. “No, we have your magnetic field data.”
“What?!” Gu Nianzhi was shocked. “When did you mark it? !”
“… Seven years ago, when you were sent there, your magnetic field data was marked in that magnetic resonance machine.” He Zhichu looked at her with pity. “That MRI machine was the one we found later. It’s also the one we’ve been using.”
Gu Nianzhi’s eyes widened. “Seven years ago… ? !”
“Yes, do you still remember that car accident? When I chased after you, I only saw your car disappear in the fire. Your father was laughing maniacally in the fire…” He Zhichu didn’t say anything else. He turned his head and looked away.
He had seen the fire engulf the car with his own eyes. The little girl in the car, and Gu Xiangwen, who was laughing hysterically with his head raised…
He had thought that she had been burned to death just like Gu Xiangwen.
Later, his father, He Chengjian, had set up a thorough investigation. Only then had he discovered the abnormality of the high-energy magnetic field and found the magnetic resonance instrument hidden nearby.
With the help of the high-energy physicists here, they finally confirmed that the car hadn’t been burned in the fire, but had gone to a parallel space-time instead.
“My father laughed maniacally in the fire…” Gu Nianzhi’s eyes sparkled. She opened her mouth to ask a few more questions, but quickly changed her mind.
“… So you’re saying that no matter what, I can’t go over, right?” Gu Nianzhi walked over, took the burning cigarette from He Zhichu’s hand, and threw it forcefully into the sea. She said, “Don’t ever smoke in front of me again! I don’t like it!”
“But you don’t seem to dislike Huo Shaoheng smoking in front of you.” He Zhichu clapped his hands and dusted off some cigarette ash.
“Yes, because you’re not him.” Gu Nianzhi finished speaking and turned to enter the gambling hall.
He Zhichu pursed his lips and stared at the floor-to-ceiling window that was already closed. He shook his head with a wry smile.
She knew how to stab him in the heart the best.
So it seemed like he really just had to get used to it.
…
Full of anger, Gu Nianzhi returned to the gambling table. The KGB’s ace had a small mountain of chips piled up in front of him.
With one hand on her head and looking lovingly at the KGB’s ace, the KGB’s beauty Lina was sitting there in the same seat she previously was.
Gu Nianzhi snorted and walked over to knock on the table in front of her. She said coldly in Chinese, “Miss, this is my seat. You’ve taken over the magpie’s nest.”
