Huang Que’s exhilarating words rang out through the radio communicator.

At this moment, they were 70 kilometers above the Earth’s atmosphere.

Looking down, the Earth was a stunning blue; looking up, space was pitch-black.

It was within this suborbital space, amidst this unparalleled beauty, that they, a team of six, were about to undertake a unique action in human history—

to capture Space-Time Particles!

...

Lin Xian and Chu Anqing exchanged glances, nodded at each other, and withdrew from the cockpit, heading towards the rear.

Before leaving, Lin Xian patted Liu Feng on the shoulder:

"Good luck."

Liu Feng nodded emphatically, gripping Lin Xian’s hand:

"Thank you, Lin Xian, for bringing me along. I feel... I really feel that this is the closest I’ve ever been to the universal constant. Once we capture the Space-Time Particles, we’ll be able to calibrate my Space-Time Clock, and then, the curvature of space-time and the universal constant... perhaps everything will fall into place!"

"I’m really grateful to you, Lin Xian. Without your help, I could never have made it this far. Qi Qi made a wish in your meteor shower in the last moment of her life... I think, you are the one who’s fulfilling my wish. Lin Xian, you are the wish Qi Qi made for me!"

Facing the excited Liu Feng, Lin Xian held his hand and smiled:

"You don’t need to thank me, Liu Feng. Helping you is also helping myself. I called you all the way from Xi’an because our goals align. The universal constant is your Obsession, and to me, it’s equally important."

"It’s been over a year since I first met you. We’ve worked hard for so long, and finally, there seem to be some results. As you said, now we may be on the verge of revealing the veil of the universal constant... We may indeed be taking that critical step."

"Keep it up, Liu Feng."

Lin Xian released his hand:

"Lead us in the right direction!"

He turned around.

And headed to the passenger cabin.

Not a single seat in there was occupied, except for Chu Anqing standing as straight as an arrow in the middle of the cabin.

"Lin... Senior Lin Xian!"

Seeing Lin Xian approach, Chu Anqing couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous. For her, a 19-year-old college student, this space journey was far too thrilling and perilous:

"What exactly... am I supposed to do?"

She inquired.

Um...

This question stumped Lin Xian once again.

He had suspected many reasons for Huang Que taking Chu Anqing up into the sky.

For instance.

Space-Time Particles were coming for Chu Anqing.

This guess had been disproven long ago. Now, outside the Skyspace Aircraft, the Space-Time Particles were darting about quicker than rabbits, flickering in and out… They showed no signs of acknowledging Chu Anqing’s existence.

Without Liu Feng’s directional guidance and Wei Cheng maneuvering the Skyspace Aircraft in pursuit of the particles, the little blue orb would have likely vanished to who knows where.

Or perhaps.

Lin Xian also considered whether Chu Anqing might have some special role in this capture mission?

But now, it seemed that guess was incorrect, too.

Huang Que had never assigned Chu Anqing any particular task from the beginning to the end.

Leaving her to stay in the passenger cabin now was no different.

It sounded good, saying that standing in the middle, she could promptly communicate between the cockpit and the equipment cabin.

Now that Wei Cheng’s restriction on knowledge had been lifted.

Everyone was on the same radio channel, speaking freely...

There was no need for Chu Anqing to act as a messenger!

The two in the cockpit were responsible for navigation; Lin Xian, Huang Que, and Gao Yang in the equipment cabin were in charge of operating the Mechanical Arm.

What could Chu Anqing, left behind in the passenger cabin, possibly do?

She had indeed become somewhat of a mascot now.

Ultimately.

Lin Xian pondered back and forth, surely Chu An couldn’t just have a lucky fish constitution, right?

Simply having her on a mission would increase the success rate? Enhance luck?

That’s just too far-fetched.

Huang Que might be getting on in years...

But she hadn’t aged to the point of turning to incense burning, superstitions, and the belief in metaphysics.

So...

Lin Xian squeezed past Chu Anqing, then turned back to look at her:

"Huang Que must have her reasons for placing you here. After all, every cabin on the Skyspace Aircraft needs someone to watch over it, right?"

"Actually, you’ve got a pretty good view from here. There’s a large glass porthole on each side, and while the equipment cabin has two portholes on each side, they’re so small in comparison; they don’t offer nearly as good a view as you have here."

"So, you have a fantastic spot for viewing. The chance to see a Space-Time Particle is even rarer than an Astronaut’s chance to go to space... Until Huang Que gives you a task, you might as well sit here and enjoy watching the Space-Time Particles."

"Oh, okay then."

Chu Anqing nodded woodenly:

"Indeed... that Space-Time Particle is really beautiful. It resembles a glittering small sphere of lightning, the strands inside swirling like currents, forming a delicate spherical shape. And that shade of blue is so beautiful, clear, transparent, profound, deep... It’s just like... like..."

Suddenly, she realized something and looked up at Lin Xian:

"Just like Elder Sister Huang Que’s eyes!"

Lin Xian cocked his head.

Hmm...

Such a comparison.

It did seem true!

Because Space-Time Particles didn’t have a physical form and were airy like lightning or electric charge spheres, Lin Xian had never considered this aspect.

But after Chu Anqing’s reminder.

That unique, crystal-clear, deep blue... it did indeed resemble the color of Huang Que’s pupils, giving a very similar feel.

After all, it was pretty much confirmed that Huang Que was indeed a Space-Time Traveler from the future.
