In a realm of chaos, Lin Xueqing felt herself floating in an endless void. Countless fragments flashed around her, like shattered mirrors reflecting scenes from different times and spaces.
She saw herself restoring cultural relics in the Modern Forbidden City, felt the confusion of arriving in the Qianlong era, and even glimpsed a more distant image—an ancient laboratory where several people in white coats were operating some kind of apparatus...
"This is the truth," the voice of the figure in the mirror echoed through the void. "We are all products of an experiment."
The scene froze in that laboratory. Lin Xueqing observed scientists gathered around a massive mirror, its surface rippling as if it were liquid.
"Project Codename: Time-Space Mirror," one scientist was recording. "We successfully created the first time-space passage, but an accident occurred..."
Suddenly, the image distorted and jumped to a chaotic scene. Alarms blared throughout the laboratory as the mirror began to fluctuate violently, a blinding light flashing across the room.
"The experiment is out of control!" someone shouted. "Shut down the system!"
But it was too late. The mirror erupted with dazzling light, and a powerful force pulled everyone present into its depths. Moments later, the mirror shattered into countless pieces, scattering across different times and spaces.
"This is just the beginning," said the figure in the mirror. "We are all participants in that experiment, dispersed across different eras by the Time-Space Mirror. And those shards of glass became gateways connecting various timelines."
"So the Peach Wood Comb and the bronze mirror..."
"Are fragments of the mirror," the figure confirmed. "And Qianlong was one of the first to uncover this truth. He established a system of guardians, ostensibly to seal these doors, but in reality, he was searching for all the fragments, hoping to reassemble the Time-Space Mirror."
"But he failed." Chen Mingde's voice interjected. "Because he did not understand that the key was not in the fragments themselves, but in the people who had been divided."
Lin Xueqing finally understood: "So you have to let the two versions of yourself in time and space meet..." "Only in this way can we restart the Time-Space Mirror." The person in the mirror said, "Let everything return to the starting point." At this moment, the voice of Lang Shining came from the void: "No! This is a trap!" The picture turned again, and Lin Xueqing saw another scene: a group of scientists in ancient costumes were studying a jade disk. "That is..." She recognized the jade disk as the National Treasure collected by the Palace Museum. "The ancient ancestors had foreseen all this." The voice of Lang Shining said, "They left a warning on the jade disk: when the mirror images overlap, time and space will be in chaos, and everything will return to zero..." "This is exactly what we want." Chen Mingde said, "Let everything start over!" The void suddenly shook violently, and countless fragments of time and space began to collapse. Lin Xueqing felt that she was being torn apart, and her consciousness was floating in different time and space. She saw Shen Mo Ting in Modern Forbidden City, trying to open the door of time and space through the guqin; she saw Qianlong looking up at the night sky in Imperial Garden, muttering to himself: "Can't escape it after all..." And in the center of all the pictures, the broken Time-Space Mirror was being reassembled. "Can't let it finish!" Lang Shining's voice suddenly became urgent, "Otherwise all time and space will collapse!" Lin Xueqing struggled in the chaos and suddenly remembered something: "Wait, Peach Wood Comb..."
She took out the Peach Wood Comb from her bosom and noticed that the patterns on its back were emitting a faint glow.
"Not only is that a shard of the mirror," she finally understood, "but it is also a key..."
Just as the Time-Space Mirror was about to reassemble, Lin Xueqing raised the Peach Wood Comb and aimed it at the center of the mirror's surface.
"Stop!" both Chen Mingde and the figure in the mirror shouted simultaneously.
But it was already too late.
