Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1480: Geniuses Are All Lunatics

Gu Nianzhi mustered up her courage and glanced at He Zhichu. Her bright eyes were filled with trust and expectation.

He Zhichu’s heart softened and he nodded. “Follow me.”

They headed into He Chengjian’s study room together.

He Chengjian’s study room contained a secret room. It was meant to be used for urgent and important government meetings.

The level of security in this secret room was comparable to that of the central control room in the special operations forces.

The room was very large. There were no windows, and the walls were constructed with several layers of mezzanine.

There was a rectangular conference table near the wall on the northern end.

Gu Nianzhi walked in and sat next to He Zhichu.

He Chengjian sat opposite them.

He Chengjian nodded at He Zhichu. “You are planning to tell her about this without removing her memories of it. Have you considered the consequences? According to our current law, this is illegal.”

He Zhichu placed one hand on the back of Gu Nianzhi’s chair and rested the other on the conference table. He uttered coldly, “As long as she holds a certain level of security clearance, shouldn’t it be fine?”

“Yes, but she doesn’t have any security clearance at the moment.” He Chengjian reminded him with a smile. “She doesn’t have a public position, nor is she a direct relative of a public official.”

He Zhichu turned to look at Gu Nianzhi and said softly, “… She’s still my fiancée. We haven’t broken off our engagement.”

As He Zhichu’s fiancee, Gu Nianzhi could obtain security clearance. Although it wouldn’t be a high level clearance, it could protect her from having her memory erased as per the law.

Gu Nianzhi lowered her eyes and her emotions were rather complicated.

She was married.

Was she planning to have a bigamous marriage?

Or was she cheating?

But if she refused, General He wouldn’t tell her the truth, right?

Either that or, if she refused and still was privy to the truth, would her memory would be erased according to the law?

Then why would she need to know the truth?

He Zhichu glanced at her changing expression and understood what she was thinking. His heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle.

He knew that Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng were married, but… that was over there, not on their side. It didn’t count…

He Zhichu grabbed Gu Nianzhi’s hand from under the table and said indifferently, “She’s my fiancée now, so it’s enough to clear the security level. I’ll assist her by hiring her as my personal secretary tomorrow. That way, the security level would be just right.”

Gu Nianzhi heaved a sigh of relief. She understood what He Zhichu meant.

He wasn’t insisting on being her fiancée. He wanted to give her a position that could be made public.

She gratefully shook his hand to show her gratitude.

He Zhichu curled his lips. The smile within his almond-shaped eyes was fleeting.

He Chengjian was in a good mood as he watched from across the room. Even his voice became gentler.

He smiled and said, “I’m very happy that the both of you are like this.”

Gu Nianzhi quickly retracted her hand and forced a smile at He Chengjian. “General He, please tell me what’s going on.”

He Chengjian nodded and walked to a multimedia workbench in the corner of the room. He entered a series of complex passwords, pressed his fingerprint, and scanned his pupils. Finally, he dripped a drop of blood into it before switching on the device.

The platform in the second half of the conference room was raised higher than the first half. It was just like a stage.

The light in the room gradually dimmed. A ray of light shined down from the ceiling and illuminated the stage in the second half of the conference room.

He Chengjian cleared his throat and said, “If you want to know what’s going on, I’ll show you a video first.”

He picked up the remote control and returned to the conference table. This time, he sat down next to Gu Nianzhi and pressed play.

On the stage in front of them, a three-dimensional image of a planet taken by an aerial camera appeared!

The video slowly zoomed in. First, they saw the blue planet from outer space. Then the video zoomed in, and the resolution increased. They saw the mountains, rivers, and seas on the planet, as well as the country of people.

Finally, the video paused above the Huaxia Empire.

The video was shot at night. It was a spectacular view of the entire country from that perspective.

Within the pitch-black land, the twinkling lights were as bright as the stars, illuminating the border.

The shape of the country in the video was exactly the same as the one Gu Nianzhi remembered. It was the huge map that she often saw in Huo Shaoheng’s office.

It looked so real that Gu Nianzhi felt as if she was there.

She felt as if she was floating in mid-air, overlooking the beautiful scenery.

He Chengjian’s voice slowly rang out, “This is our country, the Huaxia Empire.”

Then, he played another scene. It was very similar to the night scene that he had played earlier. It was almost exactly the same.

He Chengjian said, “This is the country you came from. It is also the Huaxia Empire.”

“Our two worlds were born from the same root.”

Gu Nianzhi’s eyes flashed with confusion @[email protected]

He Chengjian swiveled his chair around and stared at Gu Nianzhi’s confused big eyes. He suddenly asked, “Do you know about the quantum theory?”

Gu Nianzhi continued to @[email protected]

He Zhichu said plainly, “Just speak in a straightforward manner. I don’t believe that you really understand quantum theory.”

He Chengjian laughed heartily and said, “Yes, I don’t, but someone does.”

He stopped smiling, as if he was immersed in his memories. After a while, his expression was conflicted.

He said resentfully, “The so-called geniuses are all lunatics.”

Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help raising her eyebrows. “Please don’t make personal attacks on geniuses as a whole.”

He Chengjian pursed his lips and said reluctantly, “Okay, I take back what I said. There is a genius, and he is a complete lunatic!”

He Zhichu coughed. “Get to the point.”

He Chengjian suppressed his deep disgust for the lunatic and said in a low voice, “In short, more than ten years ago, a genius in our country came up with the theory of a ‘multiverse’ through the study of quantum theory.”

Gu Nianzhi’s heart skipped a beat. “The theory of a multiverse?”

“Yes, it’s called the ‘Many Worlds Interpretation’ in English.” He Zhichu continued to explain. “It’s commonly known as parallel universe, which is also known as parallel space.”

Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes. “There really is a parallel space?!”

“Yes, he used this theory to prove the existence of parallel space.” He Chengjian was lost in his memories. “When he gave his first report in the military, everyone went crazy.”

“Think about it. Finding out that there is another world outside of our world, or many other worlds, where there are people who are exactly like us living in that world.”

“They are exactly the same here. Not only do they look the same, but their DNA and even their life experiences are exactly the same. Don’t you think your worldview has been shattered?”

Gu Nianzhi, “… do you even have worldview?”

“Of course I do!” He Chengjian glared at her and pretended to be angry.

Gu Nianzhi smiled and thought to herself. She finally understood why there was an exact same Putin, the second-in-command of the KGB, Vladimir, the chauffeur, Ivan, and Speaker Long. The Committee of State Security (KGB) was the most powerful organization in the KGB.

There was also Gu Xiangwen, a genius and a madman who possessed two extreme qualities. He was completely different from the gentle, kind, and devoted Gu Xiangwen from the other world.

The kind and generous Gu Xiangwen was not her father.

At that moment, Gu Nianzhi recalled what Gu Yanran had said.

She had called her a ‘fake’ and compared her to a dove taking over a magpie’s nest. Was it because there was another Gu Nianzhi on the other side?

That was why she had thought she was a fake.

The person who had grown up with Gu Yanran and also disappeared when she was 12 years old should have been Gu Nianzhi from the other side.

However, they were both missing. So why would Gu Yanran insist that she was a fake?!

Gu Nianzhi was a law student. She was used to thinking from a legal point of view, so she suddenly understood.

Gu Nianzhi on the other side must have been killed by Gu Yanran when she was 12 years old!

That Little Nianzhi had not disappeared at all.

That was why Gu Yanran insisted that she was a fake.

Because only the murderer would know where the victim had gone.

Gu Nianzhi clenched her fists. She decided that if the day came where she returned, she would definitely send Gu Yanran back to court and have her sentenced to death again!

He Chengjian noticed how absent-minded she was and snorted. He continued, “If he was only able to prove it in theory, there would have been no problem. It would have been like reading an incredible novel. Everyone should still be able to eat, sleep, and sleep some more. It wouldn’t affect our lives in the slightest.”

“But the problem was that he then found a way to verify the existence of parallel space and successfully invented a quantum communicator that could communicate directly with the people in the opposite space.”

Gu Nianzhi suddenly looked up. “A quantum communicator?! There’s a quantum communicator here?! Can it really be used?!”

“Of course it can be used.” He Chengjian laughed. “I’m sure you’ve already remembered. I called you once and used a quantum communicator. When I was over there, I used it to communicate with him.”
