“War God System, take out the Reward I received earlier, the Two-Way Time-Space Gate Card. I want to use it,” Rek said to the War God System in his mind.
As soon as Rek finished speaking, a golden card floated in front of him, displaying an image of an ethereal metallic door.
Looking at the card's description, it was a special-grade disposable item, Bidirectional Space Gate Card: Using this card opens a forward space gate to a location that Host has previously reached.
You can choose to stay permanently through the forward space gate, forfeiting the opening of a reverse space gate. Alternatively, you can choose to open a reverse space gate within twelve hours to return.
Friendly reminder: The location opened by the space gate is one that Host has visited after obtaining the War God System, excluding Mission Space and virtual spaces.
“Use the Two-Way Time-Space Gate Card,” Rek instructed the War God System.
“Please select the destination for the time-space gate. Once opened, only Host can see and use it, and it will last for thirty seconds. If Host does not enter the time-space gate, it will automatically close, rendering the card void.
After entering, within twelve hours, you can summon the time-space gate again to travel back to your current location,” the voice of the War God System echoed in Rek's mind.
“The destination is the Main World Ancient Capital, specifically the wooden house I used to live in at the Hua Tuo Medical Center,” Rek stated, recalling the location of the Hua Tuo Medical Center in the Main World Ancient Capital.
As soon as he finished speaking, the golden card began to enlarge rapidly in front of him, and an open Golden Door appeared on the wall of the bathroom in his dormitory.
Looking inside, Rek saw nothing but emptiness; there were no visible surroundings. A countdown timer on the door showed thirty seconds remaining, which had now decreased to twenty-seven seconds.
Knowing he could not hesitate any longer since time was running out, he stepped into the void of the Golden Door.
As Rek's body vanished into the door, it disappeared from the bathroom wall as if it had never existed.
Inside the void, Rek felt his body tumbling without any sense of space or time, spinning back and forth like being on a 360-degree roller in a training facility.
After an unknown amount of time passed, when Rek regained consciousness, he found himself kneeling inside a wooden house.
Struggling against dizziness, he leaned on a wooden table to stand up. After more than a minute of adjusting, he walked out of the wooden door.
As expected, at that moment, old High-Fidelity Robot Hua Tuo was leisurely sitting on a bench in the courtyard, sipping tea.
Rek and Hua Tuo stared at each other for more than ten seconds before Hua Tuo couldn't hold back his curiosity and spoke first.
"It's you, Rek! Why are you back in the Ancient Capital again?" Hua Tuo's aged voice came through.
"Old man! I'm your doctor here. I left with Moon Goddess in a hurry, and since I have some free time recently, I came back to check on you!" Rek said calmly, looking at the old man. He had learned from his repeatedly reincarnated companion Alice that this seemingly ordinary old healer was actually the true controller of the Ancient Capital.
"That's good to hear. How is that girl, Moon Goddess! It's been almost two months since she left, and I miss her. Why didn't she come back with you this time? She didn't cause you any trouble, did she?" Hua Tuo Elder asked.
Upon hearing Hua Tuo's question, Rek thought for a moment and replied, "She's doing well. She's currently learning another type of medical technology. She's been quite busy with her studies, so she didn't come back this time. However, while researching medical techniques, Moon Goddess discovered a small device in her brain and hopes to have it removed."
When Hua Tuo heard this, his expression changed as he said, "So that's your purpose for coming here—to remove that thing from Moon Goddess's brain. But since you didn't bring her back, I can't treat her."
Rek didn't respond but sat down on a wooden bench in the courtyard and casually picked up a cup of tea to drink.
Hua Tuo also fell silent, and the two quietly sipped their tea.
After more than an hour, Hua Tuo couldn't help but speak again: "You should know what kind of existence Moon Goddess is and what kind of existence I am."
Upon hearing Hua Tuo Elder's sudden question, Rek thought for a moment before saying, "Hua Tuo, you are the true controller of the entire Ancient Capital. As for Moon Goddess, she is just an ordinary High-Fidelity Robot.
Since you promised to give her freedom and let her leave with me back then, I hope you can agree to my request this time and grant her true freedom. After all, your granddaughter has a detonator in her brain; if she finds out the truth, she won't be able to eat or sleep peacefully.
Help Moon Goddess this time, and I won't expose you."
Upon hearing Rek's words, Hua Tuo was surprised and put down his teacup.
"Rek, it seems you know more than I expected.
But you're thinking too simply. Who knows how you found out this secret? But I admit that I secretly control the Ancient Capital.
But who do you plan to expose me to? The Lanstor Foundation?
To be honest with you, many of the managers and researchers at the Lanstor Foundation have already been replaced by my High-Fidelity Robots.
Moreover, every time tourists arrive, they come as humans, but when they leave, they have been replaced by the Research Institution with High-Fidelity Robots.
"You have no place to report me; no one would believe you," Hua Tuo Elder confidently told Rek.
"What! You replaced all the tourists who came to Ancient Capital with High-Fidelity Robots? How did you do that?
Why was I not replaced when I came to Ancient Capital and returned still human?" Rek asked in surprise upon hearing Hua Tuo Elder's words.
"You are somewhat special. When tourists come to our Ancient Capital, they first pass through a Directional Portal.
After entering the portal, their bodies are anesthetized and transported to a Secret Laboratory inside Ancient Capital. Within a few minutes, a High-Fidelity Clone Robot based on the tourists' bodies and memories is created. It is then sent back through the Directional Portal to be placed in their carriage, allowing them to enjoy their visit to Ancient Capital.
Generally, the memory programs of these High-Fidelity Robots do not activate; they behave like normal tourists while vacationing in Ancient Capital, and after their vacation ends, they return to the human world.
Only when I want to issue certain tasks do I activate the programs in their brains.
When you first came to Ancient Capital, after entering our Directional Portal, your body was also anesthetized. However, the instruments in my laboratory could not clone your body structure; all tests indicated you were just an ordinary human.
At that time, you didn't even have a Genetic Mech, which puzzled me greatly.
All signs indicated that you are special, so out of curiosity, I abandoned the cloning process for you and arranged for you to enter Ancient Capital to observe what secrets your body holds," Hua Tuo Elder explained to Rek.
