[Cooper's Log: We've traversed i/
Hum~~ Swish~!!
The scene shifts again!
The interior of the building looks like a research facility, with all the equipment exuding a futuristic aura.
Robots are working in an orderly fashion, and even staff members in white lab coats can be seen.
Just as Mo Zhi was about to step forward to communicate…
Hum~~ Swish~!!
The scene folds once more!
Before her are familiar devices, but now they are rusty, some even covered in moss.
"Bt! Bt!!"
When in doubt, ask Bt. Mo Zhi quickly calls out to Bt, "What just happened here?"
Bt: "Temporal distortions are pervading this facility, and they seem to have caused fissures in time. I suggest caution until we have further data."
"Alright, wish us luck." Mo Zhi forces a smile:
"Fissures in time... returning to the past... time travel. Sci-fi works love to explore this stuff, but none of them have truly articulated it well, instead making heads spin."
Mo Zhi's words resonated with the viewers.
'Indeed, the very concept of time reversal is a paradox.'
'It seems Ling Jing is attempting something bold, exploring the paradox of time.'
'Judging by the content of this current level, they intend to express this theory through a single chapter.'
'Difficult, so difficult!'
'Looking forward to being proven wrong!'
'No, are you also chasing this kind of pseudo-sci-fi trend? Wouldn't it be better to just make games properly?'
'Making these thankless settings, is Ling Jing preparing to go wild...'
......
On their lack of confidence in this endeavor, most viewers shared the same opinion, even Ling Jing couldn't sway their thoughts.
It wasn't about targeting Ling Jing, but rather that no current cultural works have managed to clearly explain spacetime paradoxes; most just ride the hype.
"Don't rush, don't rush, let me investigate thoroughly."
Seeing the shift in sentiment in the live stream, Mo Zhi quickly changes the subject, "Look! We're about to traverse again!"
Hum~~ Swish~!!
The scene transforms from a dilapidated outdoor conference room to a brand new, intact, highly intelligent, multi-functional conference room.
General Ma De is delivering a passionate speech on the main stage, with high-tech elites from imC researching the Ark seated below.
Mo Zhi suppresses the urge to impulsively punch the NPCs in the conference room.
She walks directly to the stage to get a closer look at this so-called General Ma De.
"We will decisively eliminate resistance forces and safeguard humanity's survival..."
General Ma De, mid-speech, pauses and looks at Mo Zhi as she approaches, asking, "Hmm, a Titan? Is there something you need?"
Huh???
Is he talking to me?
They... they can all see me?
Mo Zhi is stunned. What kind of operation is this?
This is too realistic, unlike how she imagined traversing would be.
Before Mo Zhi can reply, the scene distorts again.
Hum~~ Swish~!!
Back in the dilapidated reality, the pristine stage she saw earlier has now become dark and decrepit.
Mo Zhi walks forward and finds a recording device left on the desk. After fiddling with it, it surprisingly emits sound—
General Ma De's Log: "Do not forget our original intention."
"...In the future, humanity will continue to reproduce... to compensate for present losses."
"This should be a backup recording from the speech we saw during the temporal traversal. Let's listen and see if there's any useful information left," Mo Zhi listens intently.
General Ma De's Log: "Decisively eliminate resistance forces... we will safeguard humanity's survival... Titan, do you need my help?"
Mo Zhi (eyes wide as copper bells): !!!!!!!!
Audience (phones, chopsticks, pens, toys 'snap' and fall to the ground): !!!!!!!!

(Being urged to go home for blind dates, what's coming has finally arrived...)
