Forensic Doctor: Finding the Way Back to the Mystery of Ancient Realms - Chapter 118: Tracking the Truth in the Mist of Time and Space

Situ Han (looking around, his tone solemn): "The atmosphere here seems to have traveled through time. You Ran, are you sure this is the place we are looking for?"

Xu Youran (with a firm look): "Yes, these symbols match the records in the diary. We are one step closer to the truth."

They began to carefully investigate and noticed some broken ancient books and relics that looked like experimental equipment scattered around the altar. Xu Youran squatted down, picked up a book with a worn cover, and gently brushed off the dust.

Xu Youran (flipping through the pages of the book, reading in a low voice): "'The door of time and space is beyond the reach of will. Only with a pure heart can one glimpse its mystery.' This... seems to be talking about the conditions for opening the passage of time and space."

As they were discussing, a slight noise came from under the altar. The two exchanged glances and approached cautiously.

As the altar slowly moved, a staircase leading to a deeper place appeared. Xu Youran and Situ Han walked down the stairs carefully and found a secret room filled with various high-tech equipment and ancient instruments, which seemed out of place.

At this moment, the lights in the secret room suddenly lit up, and several men in black rushed out from the darkness, holding weapons, and surrounded them.

The leader of the men in black (sneered): "Sure enough, you have finally found this place. However, this is the end."

Leader of the men in black (disdainfully): "You don't need to know. As long as you disappear, everything will return to normal."

A fierce battle ensued, and Xu Youran and Situ Han gradually gained the upper hand with their tacit cooperation and extraordinary skills. However, when the battle was about to end, an accident occurred - the leader of the men in black suddenly activated a device in the center of the secret room, and the whole room began to vibrate violently.

After the shaking stopped, the man in black disappeared, leaving only the mess in the room and a still flashing display screen. A video was playing on the display screen, in which a man with a blurred face was telling the secret of the time-space channel.

Man (voice-over, low and mysterious): "The Gate of Time and Space is a bridge connecting two worlds. But it was not formed naturally, but was created by the ancestors of the Yun family to escape an inevitable disaster. However, this power also attracted the covetousness of the greedy..."

Xu Youran (mumbling to himself): "Ancestor of the Yun family... Could it be that my past life was related to the Yun family?"

Situ Han (his brows were furrowed, and he looked at Xu Youran with complicated eyes): "Youran, what are you hiding?"

Xu Youran (took a deep breath and decided to confess): "Han, I did hide something. But please believe me, I have been looking for the truth, for myself and to solve all these mysteries."

Situ Han (silent for a moment, with a hint of subtle suspicion in his tone): "I hope you can tell me everything instead of letting me discover it myself."

At the same time, the S City police also intervened in the investigation. Police representative Officer Li led a team to the scene and conducted a comprehensive search of the secret room.

Officer Li (seriously): "Ms. Xu, Commander Situ, the situation here is much more complicated than we thought. We need your cooperation to solve this mystery together."

With the assistance of the police, they further tracked the whereabouts of the men in black and found that they were related to a mysterious organization called "Guardians of Time and Space". This organization seemed to have been secretly monitoring the situation of the time and space channel and trying to prevent anyone from approaching it.

Just when the investigation was about to make a breakthrough, Xu Youran suddenly felt a strong dizziness. The world in front of her began to distort and blur, as if something was tearing her consciousness apart.

Seeing this, Situ Han hurried forward to support her, but her body gradually became transparent, as if it would disappear at any time.

Situ Han (extremely anxious): "You Ran! What's wrong with you? Don't leave me!"

At this moment, Xu Youran's figure suddenly disappeared into the air, leaving only a series of whispers echoing in the secret room.

Xu Youran (voice fading away): "Han... remember my words... the truth... is at... the other end of time and space...

Situ Han (mumbling to himself, his voice low and trembling): "You Ran, where on earth have you been? What exactly is going on?"

Suddenly, the display screen in the secret room lit up again. This time there was no video, only lines of rapidly scrolling text, as if they were messages left behind after some program was run in an emergency.

Text on the display (scrolling quickly, then freezing): "The space-time rift has opened, consciousness is traveling... Target: Modern S City Hospital ICU."

Situ Han's eyes widened as he read the words quickly. His doubts were instantly replaced by shock. He realized that Xu Youran was not dead, nor was she kidnapped. Instead, she was dragged into a crack in time and space by some force, and her destination was actually the ICU of a hospital in modern S City.

He quickly contacted the S City police, informed them of his discovery, and asked them to assist him in going to the modern S City Hospital. At the same time, he also began to think about how to repair the space-time rift to prevent similar tragedies from happening again.

On the other side, in the ICU ward of Modern S City Hospital, Xu Youran slowly opened her eyes. She found herself lying on a hospital bed, surrounded by various medical equipment and busy medical staff. She tried to sit up, but her body was extremely weak, as if she had gone through a long and difficult journey.

The doctor (who came forward immediately upon seeing this): "Ms. Xu, you are finally awake. Please do not move, you are still very weak."

Xu Youran looked around blankly, the scenes in the underground secret room kept flashing in her mind. She tried hard to recall everything that happened, but those memories were like fragments and disorganized.

The doctor explained the situation to her, told her that she was in the hospital ICU, and asked her if she remembered what happened before. Xu Youran shook her head and said that she only remembered feeling dizzy in the underground secret room and then lost consciousness.

However, deep in her heart, there was an inexplicable feeling surging. She felt as if she had crossed the boundaries of time and space and experienced an unprecedented adventure. And all of this seemed to be inextricably linked to the mysterious time and space channel and her unknown identity.

Just as Xu Youran was trying to sort out her thoughts, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and Situ Han walked in with an anxious and tired look on his face. The moment he saw Xu Youran wake up, an indescribable joy and complex emotions flashed in his eyes.

Situ Han (walked quickly to the bedside and held Xu Youran's hand): "Youran, you finally woke up. Do you know how worried I was about you?"

Situ Han (smiled gently): "It's okay, there's no rush. When you recover, we can talk slowly. I will always be by your side until we find all the answers."

The ward fell into silence again, but the air was filled with an invisible tension and expectation. Xu Youran and Situ Han both knew that they were getting closer and closer to solving the mystery of the time-space channel, the ancestors of the Yun family, and Xu Youran's own identity. The answer to all this may be hidden in Xu Youran's unfinished memories and the new journey that is about to begin...
