Our Reality
Chapter 74
The parting was a lot more hurried than expected.
No one expected that this case of time and space hijacking would end like this.
As the returning teammates sat in their capsules, every one of them felt strong unease inside —-This was something they had earned through hard work but for some reason they felt that it came too easily.
Every time they thought they could return home, they had found themselves sent to an even more difficult situation.
Especially the bubble world which made it difficult for one to distinguish between reality and fantasy….Was this so-called ‘Tianqiong of all eras’ really going to give them what they want so easily?
The seventh squad shouldn’t be separated like this.
What they wanted wasn’t to return like this but to return as a group with all seven of them.
However, Song Qinglan was right.
He was the captain. He had the ability and the power to order everyone.
Everyone had things they wanted to do. If they got back and finished their reports earlier, they could reunite with their family and loved ones earlier and realise their wishes earlier.
Ji Yushi had already fastened the safety belt. His hand however stayed on the buckle as if the next moment he would unbuckle it again.
He was the only one there so there was no need for him to conceal his emotions. Confusion and hesitation were written all over his face.
If he hadn’t ran into that person just now, he would’ve definitely chosen to stay. His current condition however was no longer suitable to stay and continue with the mission. He moved his hand away and his calves and the rest of his body was strapped in.
The communicator on his wrist glowed green. It showed the positions and physical states of the teammates in the three capsules nearby.
It was a sign that the equipment was working normally again.
When he entered the capsule last time, he had heard Song Qinglan’s voice for the first time through the subcutaneous communicator.
““Everyone get ready. Tianqiong’s seventh squad, the thirteenth A-level mission, let’s go!”
This time, his mind was completely silent.
Tianqiong’s voice sounded, “Ji Yushi, before returning to your era, you have a reward that can be redeemed. Would you like to redeem it now?”
Ji Yushi closed his eyes.
Unsurprisingly, all the thoughts in his mind had been read by Tianqiong through the subcutaneous communicator.
Tianqiong’s female voice asked, “Would you like to be sent back to April 6, 1439, 7 o’clock in the morning?”
Ji Yushi opened his eyes. His eyes were dark.
Tianqiong’s female voice continued, “It has been detected that you have already accumulated enough points in your time and space to redeem this wish, so using the reward to redeem it now is not recommended. If you insist on it, you need to agree to these conditions: You can only return to that time as a bystander and cannot directly interve—–”
“Redeem.”
Ji Yushi cut off Tianqiong’s words.
His tone could be regarded as calm and his eyes had gradually regained clarity.
For some reason, as soon as he said those words, Ji Yushi’s originally silent heart began to beat harder and harder.
Tianqiong: “Please confirm again.”
Ji Yushi said: “I choose to redeem the reward immediately.”
His heart pounded even more quickly.
The expectations he originally had gradually faded away, along with the illusion of a new start to his life.
He didn’t lie to a certain someone. After all, he hadn’t promised.
Ji Yushi’s heart raced faster and faster. It was almost throbbing with pain now.
It was his strong desire for liberation.
“Understood. Your reward will be redeemed immediately.”
“You will be separated from your teammates and will return to your time and space after completing the reward. Now setting the new time and space coordinate for you.”
