Chapter 19.2 Chapter 19 Part 2 (2/2)
But he wasn’t delicate to that extent and was even a little shocked, “Thank you, I can do it myself.”
Song Qinglan, “Are you sure?”
Ji Yushi: “I am sure!”
Ji Yushi then held the hem of his black combat uniform and raised it up.
The stitching just now was too painful, and his body was completely soaked. There was still a thin layer of sweat on his pale skin.
As it turned out, he really did require help. The pain from that action earlier had almost made him fall unconscious again.
Song Qinglan didn’t just stand by and watch nor did he take the opportunity to laugh at him. He just wordlessly helped him pull out an arm to take off the blood-stained black combat uniform and then helped him put on the clean white T-shirt.
In an instant, Ji Yushi’s appearance softened considerably. He looked like a naïve young man who should be holding a book.
When Song Qinglan was done helping him, he said, “You’re welcome, Advisor Ji.”
Ji Yushi: “……….”
Song Qinglan turned to ask Li Chun, “What is the situation now?”
No one answered.
Li Chun and Tang Le took turns looking through the binoculars. Their expressions were a little strange, “Uh, that, it’s hard to say.”
Ji Yushi stored the Diamond Bird away and stood up and fixed himself up, “Let me take a look.”
Li Chun: “Oh.”
Ji Yushi received the binoculars from Li Chun.
In the bookstore, Song Qinglan of Team 2 was currently holding Ji Yushi’s arms behind his back and pressing him against the bookshelf. He appeared to be saying something stern while Ji Yushi had no ability to fight back —- That was the time when Song Qinglan questioned how many cycles he had gone through and suspected him.
Ji Yushi placed down the binoculars and said to Song Qinglan, “Cap Song, the current situation is, you are wall slamming me.” (KKnotes: wall slamming = kabedon)
Li Chun: “!!!”
Tang Le: “!!!”
Song Qinglan, “Me, wall slamming, you?”
Ji Yushi’s expression was natural.
Song Qinglan, “………..”
Since Song Qinglan showed kindness this time, Ji Yushi felt that he didn’t need to use the words ‘you tried to beat me up’.
He didn’t always hold grudges.
It was a matter of reciprocation.

When the spacecar reached the building, it became a temporary gathering point.
Ji Yushi was the first to slide down the rope. He was injured and was very quickly caught by Zhou Mingxuan and Duan Wen and was helped into the car.
The appearance in the familiar spacecar was no different from when they set off from the park management office. The pile of equipment there had pretty much all that they needed —- Ji Yushi immediately recalled the horrific scene from last time; a woman’s screams, loud curses, gunfire, the sight of a young girl lying in a pool of blood as well as the loud sound of the car hitting against a wall. It was all very clear.
The dark-skinned man held his Diamond Bird and shot wildly during this chaos.
There was no pain the moment the bullet penetrated him, but Ji Yushi could still clearly remember the process of it entering him so much so that the pain from his newly stitched wound grew even more intense.
But this car was still fine.
On another timeline, nothing had happened.
Song Qinglan was the last to enter, “Team 2 is nearby. In order not to be involved with them, has everyone turned off the location of your communicator?”
Everyone: “Turned off!”
Song Qinglan said, “Duan Wen, create an encrypted channel that only the people in this car can use.”
Duan Wen did as he was told.
Song Qinglan said, “There are still two or three hours before the black wall arrives here. Have you all understood the current situation? For those who haven’t, hurry up and ask any questions you have.”
Everyone immediately scrambled to ask.
Song Qinglan felt a headache coming and bluntly stopped them, “One by one!”
The Zhou Mingxuan from another timeline who had been busy driving the spacecar over and hadn’t had the time to process the information asked first, “Let me start first! Cap Song, according to the order of appearance, is this our current situation? So me, Duan Wen, Tang Qi, Tang Le and Li Chun, us five are from Team 4 whereas you and Advisor Ji are from Team 3. So that basically means that you from Team 3 and us from Team 4 have formed a team?”
Although it was a bit convoluted, it was indeed the case.
Zhou Mingxuan then asked, “Then, where did Cap Song and Advisor Ji as well as the rest of Team 3 go?”
Song Qinglan said, “After Advisor Ji and I were hijacked from the bookstore, Team 3 remained. Those people must be looking for us. At that time, I managed to get into contact with Tang Qi through the public channel and Tang Qi said he heard a loud noise so they shouldn’t have been far from us. The place the spacecar was damaged was also along the way to the bookstore and Advisor Ji and I from Team 4 would most definitely go to the bookstore after separating from you. I believe that Tang Qi who was originally coming to pick us up after contacting me encountered our other selves from Team 4 who was their way to the bookstore.”
Zhou Mingxuan: “Fuck, I understand now. So basically Team 3 and 4 are still the original team and only Cap Song and Advisor Ji were switched!”
Song Qinglan, “That’s basically it. For the sake of distinction, we can call them Team B.”
Tang Le: “What about us?!”
Tang Qi supported his head, “Of course we’re Team A, little brother.”
Tang Le heard tone in his voice, “Sorry.”
Li Chun was stunned again, “They why didn’t Team B go to the bookstore? The reason why we found the spacecar at the park management office was to go to the bookstore to let Advisor Ji check something he didn’t have the chance to check. It stands to reason that even if we have formed two teams, they would definitely go to the bookstore.”
Sitting on a box of equipment, Ji Yushi rested his head against the wall of the car.
He slowly spoke, “Because the me of Team B must’ve also discovered the overlap of time and space.”
