That day, Lin Mo was examining a piece of rubbing as usual when suddenly, the striation on his forehead began to burn intensely. A wave of dizziness washed over him, and everything around him became a blur. When he regained his clarity, he found himself in an unfamiliar ancient street.
The street was lined with quaint buildings, and pedestrians dressed in traditional attire hurried past. Lin Mo was taken aback and looked down at his modern clothing, realizing with alarm that he was out of place. He tried to find a spot to hide and figure out what had happened.
“Stop! Who are you? Why are you dressed in such strange clothes?” A sharp voice called out from behind him. Lin Mo turned to see several figures in constable uniforms, weapons drawn, eyeing him warily.
“I... I’m just a traveler who got lost,” Lin Mo quickly fabricated an excuse, silently praying that it would suffice.
“Hmph, what kind of traveler dresses like you? Come with us to the magistrate!” The constables didn’t believe him and moved forward to apprehend him.
Panic surged within Lin Mo; he did not want to be taken to the magistrate. Who knew what might happen there? In his desperation, he instinctively focused his mind, trying once again to trigger his ability to return to the modern world. However, this time, the ability did not activate as he hoped.
“Let me go! I really am just lost!” Lin Mo shouted as he struggled against them. Just then, a familiar figure appeared.
“Stop! He is my guest.” Lin Mo focused and realized it was Su Yuqing! No, she must just be someone who resembled her from this ancient time. Dressed in splendid traditional garments, she exuded an extraordinary presence, her eyes reflecting a wisdom reminiscent of Su Yuqing.
Upon seeing her, the constables immediately bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Miss. Since he is your guest, we shall not disturb you.” With that, they hurriedly departed.
Lin Mo sighed in relief and looked gratefully at the woman before him. “Thank you for saving me. May I ask why you helped me?”
She smiled slightly. “There’s something familiar about your aura, and you don’t seem like a bad person. Besides, you appear to have some knowledge about these mysterious symbols; perhaps we can help each other.”
Lin Mo’s heart stirred; he realized this woman might know much about curses and time travel. “Miss, to be honest, I come from the future and arrived here due to some special circumstances. The striation on my forehead is intricately linked to all of this.” He pointed at the striation on his forehead.
A flicker of surprise crossed her eyes. “I see; it seems our fates are intertwined. I have also been troubled by strange occurrences lately, feeling as if a mysterious force is manipulating everything behind the scenes. My family has guarded a secret about time travel for generations, and it seems connected to your striation.”
Lin Mo felt a surge of excitement; he had finally found someone who could be key to unraveling the mystery. “Can you tell me more about this secret?”
She shook her head. “This secret is too significant to reveal lightly. Moreover, it seems there are many eyes watching us right now. Follow me back to my residence; we can discuss it further there.”
Lin Mo nodded and followed her home. Along the way, he noticed suspicious figures lurking in the shadows, making him increasingly wary.
As soon as they arrived at her residence and before Lin Mo could catch his breath, a group of men in black suddenly burst in. Armed with sharp blades and fierce expressions, they charged at Lin Mo and the woman without hesitation.
“Who are you? Why have you invaded my home?” she shouted angrily.
The men in black said nothing but attacked furiously. Anger surged within Lin Mo; he decided not to sit idly by any longer. Although unsure how effective his abilities would be in this ancient setting, he resolved to give it a try.
He concentrated again, and the striation on his forehead glowed brightly once more. This time, instead of traveling through time, he felt his speed and strength significantly enhanced. With this newfound power, he engaged in fierce combat with the attackers.
However, more men in black continued to pour in, and Lin Mo gradually felt overwhelmed. Just when he was about to falter, the woman suddenly produced a jade pendant and began chanting incantations. The pendant emitted a dazzling light that temporarily repelled the attackers.
“Quick! We need to escape through the secret passage!” She grabbed Lin Mo’s hand and ran towards a hidden door in the room.
They sprinted desperately through the dark passageway while shouts from the men in black echoed behind them. The passage was dim and damp, filled with a pungent odor, but neither Lin Mo nor the woman could afford to pay attention to such details; their only thought was to escape.
After an unknown amount of time running, they finally reached the exit of the secret passage. Outside the exit lay a dense forest. As Lin Mo and the woman emerged, they heard the sound of black-clad pursuers closing in behind them.
"We can't stay here; we need to find a place to hide quickly," Lin Mo said.
The woman nodded, and they continued to run through the forest. Suddenly, Lin Mo accidentally stepped into a trap and fell into a deep pit.
"Lin Mo!" the woman exclaimed, rushing to the edge of the pit to check on him.
Lin Mo struggled to stand at the bottom of the pit and realized he wasn't seriously injured. "I'm fine. Don't come down; there might be other traps. Go find a rope and pull me up."
The woman nodded and turned to search for a rope. Just then, a group of black-clad men arrived. Seeing the woman at the edge of the pit, they quickly surrounded her.
"Hand over that man, or you'll all die!" the leader of the black-clad men growled.
The woman gritted her teeth. "I don't know what you're talking about; you need to leave here immediately!"
Seeing her defiance, the black-clad men launched their attack. Although she fought back with all her strength, she was just a weak woman and gradually began to succumb to their onslaught.
In this critical moment, Lin Mo concentrated deeply at the bottom of the pit and attempted to activate his time-traveling ability once more. This time, his consciousness seemed to enter a strange space where countless timelines flickered before his eyes. He desperately grasped one of them, hoping to harness its power to return to the modern era while also bringing the woman with him.
Suddenly, a brilliant light surged from the bottom of the pit, and Lin Mo's and the woman's figures gradually vanished within it. The black-clad men were blinded by the light and could not see; when it faded, they discovered that Lin Mo and the woman had completely disappeared.
When Lin Mo and the woman reappeared, they found themselves back in the modern Archaeological Research Institute. Su Yuqing was startled and delighted to see Lin Mo suddenly appear.
"Lin Mo, where have you been? Do you know everyone has been worried sick about you?" Su Yuqing exclaimed.
Before Lin Mo could respond, he noticed that the woman beside him looked exactly like Su Yuqing.
"What... what is going on?" Su Yuqing asked in astonishment as she noticed the woman too.
Lin Mo then realized that this woman might be Su Yuqing's past life. Indeed, as Su Yuqing approached, the woman quickly merged with her and vanished from sight.
Lin Mo hurriedly recounted his experiences in ancient times to Su Yuqing, who listened in shock.
"I never imagined our past lives had such connections. It seems this curse and the secrets of time and space are far more complex than we thought," Su Yuqing said.
Lin Mo nodded. "Exactly. We must unravel this mystery quickly; otherwise, the consequences could be dire. I discovered in ancient times that a Mysterious Organization has been manipulating everything from behind the scenes. They seem to be searching for a power that can control time and space, which may be related to the Striation on my forehead and those Mysterious Symbols."
Su Yuqing pondered for a moment. "Perhaps we can find more clues from the ancient tomb. The symbols we discovered earlier might be key to solving this mystery."
Lin Mo and Su Yuqing decided to delve deeper into studying the artifacts and documents unearthed from the tomb. They believed that with persistence, they would surely uncover this time-crossing enigma and lift the curse afflicting Lin Mo.
