A healthy, chubby baby was born. Mrs. Li exerted all her strength and said to the man in black who held the child, "The DBL6 experimental base has been activated... Hang, Yi, Yu, Kai, Qiang—these are the names they agreed upon..."
Staring at her vacant eyes, devoid of any neural control, a wave of heart-wrenching pain washed over her. As she cradled the helpless infant with flailing little hands, a tear rolled down her cheek. In her heart, she silently recited: Hang—Li Hang, Yi—Wu Yi, Yu—Lin Yu, Kai—Wen Kai, Qiang—Xiao Qiang.
Is this the future world’s Li Hang? The one holding the child was actually Xiao Qiang!
Wu Yi gaped in shock, pointing at him with exaggerated gestures and exclaimed, "Li Hang told me that when he was born, he was picked up by a man in black. So it was you..."
The wail of police sirens pierced the air as ambulances and fire trucks were about to arrive.
Xiao Qiang and his companions dared not linger. They quickly picked up the baby and dashed away, vanishing into the darkness in an instant...
The eastern horizon gradually revealed a sliver of dawn—the sky was about to brighten! Soon, a brand new sunrise would surely arrive on schedule. Xiao Qiang solemnly handed the child over to the man named Matt standing before him...
This story seemed far from over. Professor R (the family doctor) Wen Zhaoqi and Lin Yu's single mother Zou Xia were among those who had fallen under the control of the Electronic Simulation Human and temporarily lost their sense of self. After Xiao Qiang erased the memory storage compatibility of the Electronic Simulation Human, they regained their previous memories and returned to their normal lives.
However, deeply ingrained beliefs could not be changed by mere human effort; their stubbornness and self-righteousness persisted. How could they possibly be manipulated by Xiao Qiang and his companions, whom they viewed as mere children? Moreover, Wu Yi's family members who had yet to show themselves remained an unsolved mystery.
Li Hang had to be entrusted to Matt; this was Mrs. Li's dying wish.
Matt was Professor R's assistant—a fact that Xiao Qiang and his friends were fully aware of. This was a historical issue that could not be altered lightly unless they could persuade Matt to distance himself from Professor R. If that happened, perhaps the fates of the five of them would improve somewhat.
Thoughts aside, executing this plan proved to be quite difficult. Matt did not trust them because they were children from a fantasy world...
Without earning Matt's trust, they could not approach the DBL6 experimental base. Without access to the DBL6 experimental base, they would fail their mission; failing their mission meant they would remain stuck in this era indefinitely.
In this unfamiliar time period, Xiao Qiang and his companions were akin to beggars. Currency from their time was unusable; it had not yet entered circulation.
They could not explain to anyone—including Xiao Chongjun—that they were his son from a future world. Their temporary residence was situated beneath a holographic advertisement billboard.
Aunt Zouxia was quite nice to the three of them. Not only did she bring them food, but she also quietly found a secluded inn to settle them down.
“Aunt… do you believe us?” Lin Yu, being a girl and having that peculiar connection with Zou Xia, found her words were still worth listening to.
“...Actually, I want to believe you too, but you say you are from the future world, and I... so, I'm sorry, please forgive me.” Zou Xia said as she turned to leave.
“Aunt, how old is your daughter?” Lin Yu's question stunned Xiao Qiang and Wu Yi. Both of them looked nervously at Zou Xia, unsure of how she would react. They had learned in secret that Lin Yu had not been with her mother when she was young; instead, she had been fostered by distant relatives. Later, after an incident at the base, Matt was sent by Professor R to find her and bring her back to Core Headquarters.
Unexpectedly, Zou Xia smiled calmly and asked, “How do you know I have a daughter?”
Lin Yu was momentarily speechless and appeared slightly nervous. “Uh…”
“Aunt, this… Mrs. Li told me…”
Upon hearing Xiao Qiang's words, Zou Xia seemed genuinely angry. Her expression darkened as she emphasized, “How could that be? It's best for children not to meddle in adult matters.” With that, she turned and walked away. After a few steps, seemingly uneasy, she looked back and warned them, “Don’t play around too much; get home quickly! Stay out of sight…” Hesitating for a moment as if considering something else, she left in a hurry without finishing her sentence.
“Is she warning us?” Lin Yu sighed in relief when she saw that Zou Xia wasn't truly angry.
“I don’t know. Sigh! We’ve been tired for so long; should we go relax by the beach?”
“Hey, didn’t you just hear what she said?” Lin Yu felt embarrassed to call Zou Xia 'Mom,' even in private; it felt too direct.
“She’s your mom; why be awkward about it? If my mom were here, I might just throw myself into her arms without hesitation—” Wu Yi said dreamily, gazing out the window. The sunlight poured in brightly, reflecting off a piece of glass and creating a blinding glare…
Ignoring Lin Yu’s reminder, Xiao Qiang stubbornly packed his things as if he had made up his mind to go play at the beach.
With the magical barrier lifted, the beautiful natural scenery was intoxicating. But was everything really that simple? Walking along the ancient seaside promenade, Xiao Qiang's heart remained restless. The panoramic view of Victoria Harbour and the park stretching 1.6 kilometers from Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry Pier in the west to Hung Hom Undersea Tunnel's Kowloon entrance in the east failed to capture his interest.
Stepping down from the promenade, he stood for a long time on the sandy beach at the shore, gazing into the distance where only a vast expanse of white met his eyes. The sea and sky merged into one indistinguishable entity; it was hard to tell where water ended and sky began.
The saying goes: "Fog locks the mountain, and the mountain locks the fog; the sky connects with the water, and the water connects with the sky."
Lin Yu clapped his hands excitedly, his eyes sparkling. He gazed at the distant sea, which under the brilliant sunlight resembled scales of fish scattered across the surface, like mischievous children constantly leaping toward the shore.
Wu Yi made exaggerated gestures, pointing out to Xiao Qiang the three or five seagulls soaring and circling in the sky. They emitted cries reminiscent of a baby's wail...
The three of them held hands, watching as the rhythmic waves crashed against the rocky shore, bursting into countless flying sprays like fireworks. It mirrored their current feelings; having long resided in Stratum, they had always thought this was the source of the ocean's murmurs. Eventually, unable to resist the ocean's enchanting pull, they walked over together and leaned down to listen intently. With a sudden rush, a wave splashed towards them, salty water hitting their lips—bitter and far heavier than tears.
Suddenly, Lin Yu pointed at a dark spot gradually approaching them. "Look over there."
Xiao Qiang looked up, straining his eyes to see. Indeed! A tall man in a suit was walking toward them. Behind him was Matt...
"Is that Professor R?"
Professor R believed in their words and actively invited them to the DBL6 research base.
There’s a saying: "The bystander sees clearly, while those involved are confused!" What situation would Xiao Qiang and his companions encounter next?
