Chapter 356: Chapter 289: Save Yourself! (4300 words)_2

“Look,” Yan Junze raised his hand, addressing Xiang Er, “Women, they’re all insincere by nature.”

“Go away,” Zhang Xiaomo stomped her foot, then burst into laughter shortly after.

Xiang Er, watching Zhang Xiaomo’s hot-and-cold expressions, nodded thoughtfully.

The next second, Yan Junze suddenly turned serious and said to Xiang Er, “Remember, true love between men and women is also one of the greatest kindnesses in this world.”

“What a load of bull,” Zhang Xiaomo said with a half-smile.

“It’s getting late, are we going back tonight?” Yan Junze asked.

Zhang Xiaomo glanced back at Xiang Er and said, “I’ll sleep here with her tonight.”

“You’re not afraid to sleep with a corpse?” Yan Junze chuckled.

“On your turf, I’d be more scared not to sleep with a corpse,” Zhang Xiaomo said, then covered her mouth and giggled.

They sat in the rental for another hour before Yan Junze finally left to return to his dormitory.

The next morning when he went to the rental, he found only Xiang Er there; Zhang Xiaomo had already left.

Yan Junze called her, and Zhang Xiaomo said she had been assigned a last-minute mission outside the district and had already rushed to the airport with her partner, Zhang Di.

The matter of arranging identity information for Xiang Er had already been set in motion by her, and the ID card would be mailed to Tianmeng Science University within a week at the most.

Yan Junze didn’t know what Zhang Xiaomo had said to Xiang Er that night, but according to Xiang Er, they talked a lot; anyway, Xiang Er didn’t need to sleep, so she just kept chatting until Zhang Xiaomo dozed off.

In the following days, life returned to normal. Although the numbness in his arm didn’t reoccur, Yan Junze was still somewhat preoccupied.

Every day passed in a routine: attending classes, researching magnetic field phenomena, conducting various experiments, and sometimes he would accompany Xiang Er for a walk around the area.

Of course, he usually brought Huahua along during these times to avoid any rumors if classmates saw them.

A month went by, and the semester was nearing its end.

After class each day, apart from his fixed time visiting Xiang Er, Yan Junze basically spent his time with a professor from the Department of Physics named Di Zhiwen.

Old Professor Di had already published several papers on time theory in the most authoritative academic journals in the Great Capital of Huaying.

Although the research on timelines in this world wasn’t as advanced technologically as in Yan Junze’s previous world, nothing could stop the development of thoughts and imagination.

Someone once argued that if a person could travel through time and kill their earlier self, it would mean that their present self never existed–a time paradox.

However, Old Professor Di once speculated that time paradoxes don’t exist. If you really could go back to the past, you wouldn’t be able to kill yourself, because in that process, countless “chances” and “coincidences” would occur, preventing the time paradox from being fulfilled.

In other words, various coincidences would make it impossible for you to kill your past self.

In the lab before the explosion in his past life, Yan Junze was an assistant, but he participated in some of the development.

He knew, according to experts who had already achieved some research results, those so-called time paradoxes were likely because of a jump in the timeline, jumping to another timeline, which is why it was possible to kill “oneself.”

In reality, that person was not “oneself.”

As for the laboratory’s research at that time, it was only about the traversal within the same timeline and they had yet to overcome the unthinkable experiment of jumping back and forth across multiple timelines.

Furthermore, the research on traversal within the same timeline had already consumed countless efforts and sweat, and even at the end, when the explosion happened, they still did not know if it was successful.

If Yan Junze hadn’t carried the Spacetime Atlas to this world, he wouldn’t have known that the experiment actually succeeded.

As for whether there were any jumps in the timeline of this world, he could not be certain, but he was sure that every time he used Rewind, it was on the same timeline.

It couldn’t be that every time he used Rewind, he actually appeared in another identical parallel universe.

Because the current Spacetime Atlas simply couldn’t achieve that level of jump.

If that were the case, it wouldn’t just be him being able to Rewind after hitting a strangeness; it would be like changing the entire map.

The reason he engaged in deep discussions with Professor Di was because Yan Junze learned of an inference from him, which is, on the same timeline, if you were supposed to die, but due to a turnaround in the future, that turnaround could act in such a way that you wouldn’t die at that time. That is to say, it was impossible for you to die at that moment.

Thinking back to the last moments in the Tricky Silk mission, he and Zhenzhen were nearly sucked back into the Underground Space by the tremendous pulling force, when suddenly he heard a man’s voice.

After that, the pulling force vanished, and he was able to escape and return to the surface.

At that time, the voice sounded very familiar, but because of the rushed escape, he had no time to listen closely; now that he thought about it, the sudden speaker sounded exactly like Yan Junze himself when he recorded his own voice.

In other words, that speaker seemed to be Yan Junze himself.

That seemed to make sense.

Following Professor Di’s argument, one couldn’t go back to kill oneself because a time paradox simply couldn’t exist, but one could go back to save oneself.
