Soul Patch

Chapter 318 Meteorite from Outer Space
Paranoia?
What a joke!
"Do you also think that Serena... Serena has delusions?" Wenjie asked, staring at Professor Zhao.

"Well... how should I put it, her thinking is indeed confused, and the situation she describes is not realistic. The diagnosis given by several medical institutions is that she has mild delusions."

"She came to me hoping for my help because she said... she had once again unknowingly walked onto the balcony, and if her family hadn't stopped her in time, perhaps..."

Zhao Jingshu didn't continue speaking, but instead gave Wenjie a meaningful look.

They might just jump!

Wenjie understood what the unspoken second half of the sentence meant.

“After I provided psychological counseling, I found that her condition was sometimes stable and sometimes bad. If she was stimulated by the astronomical observation at that time, then her symptoms should have gradually lessened over time, but her situation was obviously not like that.”

Yes, it is indeed very strange... Wenjie exhaled a few breaths, squinted his eyes slightly, as if searching for something in his memory.

Zhao Jingshu ignored Wenjie's reaction and continued talking to herself: "When she's in a bad state, she says some outrageous things, such as that a parallel space has been opened, so the video recordings in this spacetime can't capture what's happening in the other space."

When she's in a good mood, she says she feels like she's lost part of her memory, and she's not even sure if the story of seeing an unidentified object colliding with a fireball is true or false.

However, the real world seems to be affected by parallel universes…

"And then what happened? What became of that astronomer?"

Zhao Jingshu shut her mouth, glanced silently at Wenjie, and said softly:
"...He went mad and was sent to a mental hospital."

Has observer Selina gone mad?

Wenjie was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhao Jingshu in confusion.

Zhao Jingshu didn't meet his gaze, but turned her face to the stream beside her, looking at the scattered withered branches and leaves floating on the water, and spoke slowly:
"You just threw a branch into the stream, and afterwards you found out that the branch caused a series of accidents (such as blocking the riverbed, changing the environment, the government taking remedial measures, and the natural ecology being irreversibly affected due to human intervention... or other accidents. Anyway, things have multiple facets and can evolve into different results in different directions).

You went back to the point in time and stopped the tree branch throwing... You think that's the end of the problem?

Wenjie listened intently and nodded in agreement. "...You mean, if we don't throw this branch into the river, where should we put it? This branch can't disappear, and no matter where we put it, after complex changes in time and space, it will lead to a different result."

Zhao Jingshu nodded with relief: "I suspect that everything Selina said is true. Her mental illness is likely due to persecution, and the reason I didn't help her is because I interfered with the outcome. The cause of this outcome will only lead to other outcomes, and those outcomes may not be something we can bear."

"Maybe... she should just shut up!"

"Heh~" Zhao Jingshu chuckled awkwardly: "She can say whatever she wants. America values ​​freedom of speech, after all. As long as no one believes what she says, it won't have any impact."

After saying that, she turned her gaze to the distance. From her angle, she could vaguely see the white outline of a building.

"You're hoping to use someone else to kill those criminals, and then completely destroy those...unidentified objects that can affect the real world?"

As Wenjie spoke, he reached into his pocket and touched the stone that had shrunk a little.

That's a meteorite!
Whether it originated from the constellation Perseus or another celestial body is currently unknown.

Zhao Jingshu snapped out of her daze and turned to look at Wenjie seriously:
"The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, stars move according to their orbits, and everything needs to follow a set pattern... Once this pattern is broken, it will cause chaos and imbalance. That's something none of us want to see!"

Her voice was hollow, devoid of any emotion, and carried an all-knowing detachment.

In short, they came to stop him!
Impossible! Nobody can stop him!

Wenjie clutched the small meteorite tightly in his hand, his emotions running high, his voice unconsciously rising a few decibels: "You don't understand, I owe you a life..." It wasn't about romantic love; they simply wouldn't understand...

Upon hearing Wenjie's words, Zhao Jingshu's eyes welled up with tears, glistening like the clear water of a stream.

She rushed over from the central control room because she didn't want to see Wenjie and James fight head-on; wouldn't that be like throwing an egg against a rock?

Back then, Wenjie stopped her from going down a path of no return, and just moments before, he freed her from his control and gave her her freedom.

Her dedicated research in psychology and the achievements she has made will ensure that she shines brightly in the field and continues to be a legend.

It was Wenjie who preserved her reputation both before and after her death.

That dark corner that had grown deep in my heart finally dissipated in the sunlight.

She bent down, picked up a few pebbles, and threw them hard into the stream. In an instant, the water became murky, and the reflections of the two disappeared.

Disregarding her image and the dignity of an expert, she shouted:
"You're so young, why are you so desperate to die?"

At this moment, Zhao Jingshu became agitated, her face flushed red, and the lines on her face seemed to twist together.

"Without her, I would be dead."

Wenjie left those words behind and walked in the opposite direction.

As the sun finally dipped below the horizon, darkness pressed in from the other side of the horizon, gradually swallowing the glow on the mountaintop.

Wenjie looked up at the inky sky and quickly spotted the increasingly bright stars on the horizon.

That day, when they kidnapped him and brought him here, he stared at the morning star for a while as he walked out of the hotel.

If this is the capital city, why is the position of the morning star unchanged?

Do these people think he's a physics idiot?
So after he returned to the front desk, he had that conversation with the receptionist.

He was now more certain that this was M City.

As the Big Dipper appeared overhead under the night sky, he looked up at the night sky and his heart became incredibly devout... just like many years ago when he was still a teenager and silently prayed to the scorching sky.

Along the way, we passed a five-story white building.

He glanced at the hotel where he had stayed not far away. Judging from its location, this white building was the perfect place to set up a surveillance camera.

Just then, a head peeked out from the double doors on the first floor of the white building.

After carefully checking the surroundings and confirming that it was safe, another head poked out.

Two figures quickly emerged from the doorway and ran away.

The one with flowing hair and a figure as slender as a cola bottle saw a familiar figure standing not far away.

She was stunned at first, then realized what was happening, and cried out in a sob, "Wenjie, Wenjie...we're here!"
