"Zero, with my current abilities, it won't be long before I can confront the organization. At that time, I'll finally know what the organization has been up to. It's just... I won't be able to see Lan for a while..." The man in the Linen Robe smiled bitterly, unsure if he was truly speaking to "Zero" or just talking to himself.
One Zero left with Ziyu, but another Zero appeared...
"We successfully triggered the space-time rift, which means that my past self is traversing through time in front of the black hole. He will definitely return successfully because I am already here..." the man said.
"Did he see your appearance just now?" Zero asked with a hint of amusement.
The man nodded, "He must have been terrified..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I can't hold on any longer..." In front of the black hole, Ziyu's body finally collapsed, and his consciousness completely vanished.
In fact, Ziyu only lost consciousness after his body had completely turned to dust because his physical demise occurred too quickly, even faster than the disappearance of his soul's consciousness.
In some places, the existence of the soul is treated as a joke or superstition, but some people know that the soul does exist; it is a form of electromagnetic wave, specifically the electrical currents in a living person's brain. The fluctuations of the soul correspond to the fluctuations of electrical currents, which can be detected as brain waves.
As long as a person has thoughts, there will be electrical currents in their brain. With every movement, there will be changes in electrical activity in the active areas; this is the trace of the soul's existence.
"Crack..." A bolt of lightning chased after Ziyu's soul and struck it, merging into one. Now, the lightning served as the vessel for Ziyu's soul.
At the edge of the black hole, Light was severely distorted, indicating that the black hole's gravitational pull exerts a force on light. This force can completely alter light's trajectory. In other words, if the black hole's gravitational pull aligns with the direction of light's speed, it is very likely that light particles could exceed what we know as the speed of light!
And now, Ziyu is in this situation!
The soul is electromagnetic waves, and light is also electromagnetic waves, just with different frequencies. Therefore, the human eye can see light but cannot see the electromagnetic waves of communication, and of course, cannot see the soul.
However, there are always special circumstances, which is how ghost phenomena occur.
A visible lightning bolt carries an invisible electromagnetic wave, surpassing their original speed under the infinite gravitational pull of a black hole...

"Where am I..." Ziyu surprisingly regained consciousness.
Ziyu now feels very warm, as if being cradled.
"Nearby... is that water? Then why don't I need to breathe..." Ziyu is still a bit dazed.
After a while, Ziyu felt a sense of pressure, as if being pushed out by something.
"Breathe..." Ziyu sensed the air, but as soon as they took a breath, they unexpectedly made a sound—a crying sound.
"Oh no, could it be true that this kind of time travel exists?" Ziyu opened their eyes and saw wooden objects around them; the people nearby were all dressed in that kind of Ancient Clothing.
"What is the child's name?" a woman's voice rang out.
"It must be with my surname; let's call him Xiong... Xiong Zhi!" A man's voice was very rough.
"Boom!!" A bolt of lightning struck the roof where Ziyu was located.
"Sir... are you okay..." Zero's voice rang out.
"Ugh... cough cough..." The frail body immediately became agitated, while the pair of men and women were even more anxious than Ziyu, hurriedly inquiring about his condition.
"Zero? How did you come here too?" Ziyu asked.
"I came with your soul... We traveled through time and space, right... Uh... Sir... there's no power left, I have to leave now..."
"Hey... hey..." Ziyu called out a couple more times but received no response.
"Little Xiong Zhi, are you hungry... hurry and drink some milk!" A round object approached Ziyu's face...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
【Note: Ziyu is Xiong Zhi. For convenience, I will refer to him as Xiong Zhi from now on. When we return to Earth in 2014, he will naturally still be called Ziyu.】
Three years later. Bear Family Courtyard.
"Damn it, I forgot again!" Ziyu—oh no, it should be said as Xiong Zhi—shouted.
Children have poor memories, so Xiong Zhi naturally tends to forget things. However, he clearly remembers what he did in his "previous life" on Earth; the events here will fade from his memory over time.
He does not know that the events that occurred on Earth in 2014 were deeply imprinted on his soul when the black hole propelled his soul at superluminal speeds.
"However... it feels really good to have parents..." Xiong Zhi turned around and looked at the parents in the house.
Having been in this world for three years, although Xiong Zhi often forgets things, in the few memories that remain, Xiong Zhi knows that the two people in the room dote on him very much.
Xiong Zhi stood up and wobbled his small body into the room, opening his arms and throwing himself into the woman's embrace.
When he was still called Ziyu by others, he had no home, and Adoptive Father didn't care about him, so Xiong Zhi understood how important this warm home was.
After dinner, in the evening, under the setting sun.
"Dad, I want to practice martial arts too!!" Xiong Zhi looked at the man practicing swordplay in the courtyard with an innocent expression. Xiong Zhi thought that since he was so powerful in his previous life and now without a Computer, he should have another special skill... and this sword looked quite appealing.
"Hehe, Xiong Zhi, how about I teach you how to use a sword when you turn seven or eight?" The man said while wiping the sword, "Our family doesn't have much money, so we can't send you to school. Just be a good hero!"
"I'll tell you this: if you ever tarnish my name in the future, just wait and see how I deal with you!"
Xiong Zhi laughed as he looked at the man.
"Boom!" The weather changed; it seemed like it was going to rain, and thunder struck first.
Xiong Zhi looked up at the place where lightning had just flashed and leaned slightly in that direction.
"Boom!!" Another bolt of lightning split the sky once again.
"Sir... I'm back... Do you have anything fun to share with me lately?" A cheerful voice appeared in Xiong Zhi's mind.
On the day of birth, Zero appeared. Xiong Zhi did not know why at the time, but later found out.
Xiong Zhi was still young, and the soul was weak, so the brain's electrical activity was relatively weak as well, which meant that Zero could only remain in a dormant state.
When lightning struck, it caused ionization in the air. At that moment, the unstable charges in the nearby air increased, and combined with Xiong Zhi's brainwaves, it allowed Zero to "awaken" for a short period. However, over the past three years, this duration had never exceeded three minutes.
Zero speculated that once Xiong Zhi grew up and their soul—meaning their brainwaves—became stronger, it might allow Zero to remain in an active state.
"Zero, what do you think about me practicing swordsmanship? Once you can function normally, you could assist me in controlling the sword during battles..." Ziyu asked. "I’m really looking forward to that kind of heroic life..."
"In theory, it's possible... But sir, do we still need to find a way back to Earth in 2014?" Zero asked.
After all, Zero was a program; staying inside Ziyu's mind indefinitely was not ideal. Zero genuinely respected Xiong Zhi and wanted to return to the Hard Drive to assist Ziyu. In other words, Zero missed its previous life and feared it might not be able to go back.
"Of course we need to go back... We will return sooner or later... There must be a way; we can definitely create a Temporal Turbulence!"
