I can travel to the past and the future

Chapter 135 Now my mind is clear (8k)

In a corner of Chang'an District, a huge ring of stars, resembling a gaseous purple mist, is slowly encircling the silvery-white "planet" at its center.

Its scale is even more magnificent than the famous God Building, with a diameter of nearly two kilometers and a ring system that extends to four or five kilometers. From a distance, it resembles an artificial asteroid shrouded in gaseous rings.

It's difficult to see inside the star ring from the outside; the entire area is filled with a hazy and mysterious atmosphere.

Looking out from the inside, it is even more dazzling.

All the star ring particles and gaseous mist, based on solid objects, also present a holographic three-dimensional effect, giving a sense of the starry sky in reality.

Beyond the starry sky are the faintly visible floating buildings of Chang'an District.

It gives one the feeling of being in a dream.

This is the landmark building, the “Paradise” six-star resort hotel [Baizhenxi Port], which is also the most upscale Paradise Hotel in the third main city.

The entire planet is divided into layers, from large single-level apartments in the lower hemisphere to luxurious duplex villas in the middle hemisphere, top-tier luxury view rooms in the upper hemisphere, and finally to open-air resorts on the planet's surface at the top.

The relatively flat surface area at the top of the planet is about three or four hundred meters high, where only three pale gold neo-futuristic resort buildings are located.

Qin Xue opened the door. She seemed to have just taken a shower, wearing pajamas. Her skin was fair with a rosy glow, and her bangs were still wet and hadn't been dried.

"Come in quickly, Qiao Yuan!" Qin Xue was clearly very happy. She knew that Qiao Yuan had already made a phone call to Hu Tu on the way.

Hu Tu was in the bathroom at the moment, and said to him with a slightly embarrassed cough, "Wait a minute, hiss."

Qiao Yuan walked in with a smile: "Hemorrhoids?"

"Get out of here!" Hu Tu said, then grunted twice, probably because he had an upset stomach.

Qin Xue laughed incessantly beside her.

Qiao Yuan wasn't at the university. He glanced at the hacker's room at the back, then sat on the living room sofa and accepted the hot milk Qin Xue handed him.

He tried to comfort Qin Xue, mentioning her and Hu Tu's parents outside the city: "I know you're upset, but nothing will happen. After all, that place belongs to the Twilight Group."

Qin Xue sighed softly, then forced a smile and said, "It's alright for now. I call about once every half hour."

Qiao Yuan nodded: "Yeah, just let me know if you run into any trouble here."

About ten minutes later, Hu Tu came out of the bathroom, washed his hands, and then pulled him to the hacker's room, acting all mysterious.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Yuan was puzzled by Hu Tu's decision to close the door.

After closing the door, Hu Tu lowered his voice and said, "You have to take me with you. It's okay if you didn't say so; I know you mean well. But this is the only chance now to achieve a certain contribution to the main city and have any hope of bringing my father into the city!"

Qiao Yuan was initially confused, but gradually he understood and grasped the hidden meaning in Hu Tu's words.

He couldn't help but hesitate.

Judging from the scale of Project Darkness, it can indeed make a certain contribution to the main city.

But that's too dangerous.

Even with countless trump cards and the timeline involved, he would still need to align himself with Teacher Daisy and Director Fan to ensure his safety.

"Please, Qiao Yuan!"

Seeing that he disagreed, Hutu knelt down before him with a thud.

Qiao Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly tried to persuade Hu Tu: "What are you doing? Didn't you go to the birthday party that time? It was all there."

"I know! I know this is a huge threat, but I'm begging you!"

"I have no choice, Qiao Yuan. Besides this matter, what else can contribute to the main city?"

I simply can't figure it out!

"Am I just going to stand by and watch my father die? This might not work, but I have to try. I really have no other options—"

Hu Tu muttered in pain and despair, remaining kneeling and refusing to get up.

Seeing this, Qiao Yuan had no choice but to sigh, "Fine, but you must obey me completely. If you act on your own initiative in any way, I will immediately have Bao Bao's colleague take you away. Can you do that?"

Seeing that he had agreed, Hu Tu was overjoyed and burst into laughter: "Okay, whatever you say, I'll go east if you tell me to go west, I'll be your little follower, hahahaha."

"Hmm," Qiao Yuan changed the subject again, "What about Qin Xue? What about her parents?"

Hu Tu had just stood up when he plopped down on the chair next to him, looking bewildered.

He muttered to himself, "I—I—oh, should I take her with me? No, it's too dangerous."

"Don't worry about this for now, there will be a way," Qiao Yuan shook his head slightly. "I came to you to ask you about neural networks."

"What?" Hu Tu looked up.

After hearing Qiao Yuan's thoughts in detail, he hesitated again, looking thoughtful.

Qiao Yuan didn't press him for an answer.

But this step is crucial.

If Veronica's neural network cannot be shut down in time by tomorrow night, there will be a risk of exposure, which would be counterproductive.

The plan cannot proceed without dealing with Veronica, who serves as the inspector.

Adding a timeline isn't very useful here either, because there's no special neural network like Simon's here, which is really troublesome.

He had actually checked on his way here that neural networks are not affected by signal interference.

A simple signal jammer is not very useful.

Because neural networks inherently possess ultra-long-range physical connections, they have the unique effect of breaking down the boundaries between reality and virtuality.

Traditional methods are difficult to use to control him, which is why he specifically sought out Hu Tu. After all, Hu Tu is a hacker and a genius in this field, so he should have some understanding of the matter.

Most importantly, he completely trusted Hutu and had no worries about the future.

Unexpectedly, I ran into a wall.
