Chapter Six: The Truth of History
The black sedan weaved through the night, with Li Wenbo and his companions temporarily escaping pursuit under the protection of the Director. The atmosphere inside the car was tense and silent, broken only by the roar of the engine and the occasional sound of tires on the pavement.
"Thank you, Director," Li Wenbo broke the silence, his voice trembling slightly.
The Director's expression was serious as he glanced at them through the rearview mirror. "I've been studying the secret of the pocket watch; I didn't expect Dr. Zhang to act so quickly."
Zhao Min nervously adjusted the rearview mirror, trying to see if there were any pursuers. Li Tianyou silently gazed out the window, his eyes reflecting the rapidly retreating cityscape, seemingly lost in thought.
"This pocket watch is tied to our family's history spanning hundreds of years," Li Wenbo said, gripping the watch tightly, feeling its heavy weight.
The Director brought them to Zhao Min's home, a simple yet cozy refuge where they could safely discuss their next steps for a while.
"We must find out the true purpose of the pocket watch; only then can we stop Dr. Zhang," Li Wenbo stated firmly as he stood by the window, looking out at the night sky.
Zhao Min took out an old diary, and the three gathered around the table to delve into it. The diary contained records of their ancestors' deeds and scattered descriptions of the pocket watch.
"It mentions a 'gateway through time and space.' Could it be that the pocket watch is the key to opening it?" Zhao Min pointed to a passage in the diary, her brow furrowed in concentration.
Li Tianyou stood by, listening to their discussion, feeling a wave of confusion rise within him. He had crossed over into modern times but felt lost regarding his mission and identity.
"Can I really adapt to this era? What can I do?" Li Tianyou whispered to himself, his voice tinged with helplessness.
In the late night, Li Wenbo and Zhao Min were still studying the map and diary, trying to find more clues. The Director silently guarded them from the side, his eyes revealing a reverence for history.
"We must find the time-space portal before Dr. Zhang does," Li Wenbo said, pointing to a mark on the map with determination in his voice.
Suddenly, Li Tianyou stood up and walked over to Li Wenbo. "Whether I belong to this era or not, I cannot watch history be altered. I will stand with you to uncover the truth."
Li Wenbo looked at Li Tianyou, a flicker of emotion crossing his eyes. "We are brothers; we will face this together."
Chapter Seven: The Intertwining of Time and Space
In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating the three who were engaged in intense discussion. Li Wenbo was flipping through ancient books left by his family, searching for clues about the "time-space portal."
"It is said that the time-space portal can connect different eras, but its exact location and how to open it have always been a mystery," Li Wenbo said solemnly, his eyes sparkling with a desire for the unknown and curiosity about family secrets.
Zhao Min was monitoring Dr. Zhang's every move online, with a live feed showing Dr. Zhang at some secret base on the screen.
"It seems like he is preparing for something big," Zhao Min said nervously, her fingers flying over the keyboard as she tried to gather more information.
Based on clues from the ancient books and diary, the three arrived at a secluded corner of the museum. Behind a massive ancient mural, they discovered a hidden switch.
"There seems to be something behind this," Li Tianyou whispered, his intuition telling him that an important secret lay hidden there.
Under the operation of Li Wenbo, the mural slowly moved aside, revealing a stone staircase that descended downward, and an ancient aura rushed forth.
The three of them ventured down the staircase into the depths, arriving at a vast underground chamber. It was filled with dusty artifacts and intricate mechanisms, clearly untouched for many years.
"The mechanisms here are quite complex; we need to be careful," Li Wenbo reminded, his gaze sweeping over the devices around them.
With Zhao Min's technical support and Li Tianyou's protective strength, Li Wenbo cautiously began to unlock the various mechanisms. Eventually, they reached a central control console.
"This... should be the place that controls the Time-Space Gate," Li Wenbo said as he placed his pocket watch into a slot on the console.
As soon as the pocket watch made contact with the console, it emitted a dazzling light, and the entire underground chamber began to tremble, as if some immense power was awakening.
With the activation of the pocket watch, the Time-Space Gate slowly opened, revealing a bizarre portal before the three of them. Sounds and images from ancient times emanated from within, seemingly connecting countless historical moments.
"We... we really did it," Li Wenbo said excitedly, knowing they had grasped the key to countering Dr. Zhang.
But at that moment, Dr. Zhang's forces had already tracked them down, and a battle for the Time-Space Gate was about to unfold.
The three stood before the Time-Space Gate, ready to face Dr. Zhang's attack. They knew that only by protecting this portal could they thwart Dr. Zhang's plot to alter history.
"No matter what happens, we cannot let him succeed," Li Wenbo said firmly as he stood shoulder to shoulder with Li Tianyou and Zhao Min, preparing for the impending challenge.
