Hua Shier spent a long time sensing in his newly renovated house, trying to find the spacetime fluctuations from earlier, but to no avail, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Logically speaking, the world of "alleyway dwellings" is just an ordinary modern urban world, so how could the kind of spacetime fluctuations we just witnessed occur?

Of course, he wouldn't care about any extraordinary beings, as he certainly wouldn't take any extraordinary beings born from such an ordinary world seriously.

But this extraordinary fluctuation occurred in his house, which made things much more complicated.

Because this is a house he just renovated, and he didn't hire someone to do it; he did it all himself, bit by bit.

Let's take a look at the value of Erlang Shen's first handicraft.

If that spacetime fluctuation from earlier were to erupt in his house, all his hard work over the past few months would be wasted.

Although that spacetime fluctuation has disappeared, who can guarantee that it won't reappear in the future?
Hua Shier crossed one arm and rubbed his chin with the other. The more he thought about it, the more reasonable his concerns seemed. So he decided to stay here and keep an eye on things personally.

He immediately snapped his fingers, and a clone appeared beside him, nodded to the main body, opened the door, and walked out.

Within the clone is a thought of his that can attend classes, study, and sleep in the dormitory on his behalf. Everything it experiences will be transmitted to the original body's mind, just as if Hua Twelve had personally experienced it.

Of course, the main body also left a restriction on the clone, which was 'it can do other things, but it cannot get too close to Wu Shanshan'.

Of course, the main body is Hua Shier, and the clone is also Hua Shier. The relationship between the primordial spirit and thoughts is all his own. However, how should I put it, he is still quite conservative. He cannot accept being cuckolded by himself.

After his clone rode away on a bicycle, Hua Shier snapped his fingers again. The formaldehyde and other harmful substances in the newly renovated house, which would normally take several months or even a year or two to dissipate naturally, detached themselves and gathered into a ball in front of him in the form of fine particles.

With a casual flick of his wrist, it landed directly in the bathroom toilet, and the tank automatically flushed, completely removing the harmful substances from the room.

Hua Shier nodded in satisfaction. He opened the door and went out, intending to go to the nearby vegetable market. Since he planned to live here, he wanted to make it feel more like a homely place. He would fill the refrigerator first and then cook himself a meal tonight.

As soon as he stepped outside, a woman selling sweet cakes from a cart pointed at Hua Shier with a stunned expression: "You...you...you..."

Hua Shier looked puzzled: "What's wrong, big sister?"

The older woman pointed to the intersection, then to Hua Twelve, and suddenly realized:
"Were you twins just now? You look so alike, even wearing the same clothes! I was so scared I thought I saw a ghost!"

Hua Shier then realized that he had seen his clone earlier. Without explaining further, he bought a piece of sugar cake and a fried radish cake from the older sister and walked towards the nearest market while eating.

After returning from grocery shopping, Hua Shier cooked a meal for himself. After eating and drinking his fill, he lay on his brand-new bed and began to daydream.

This stay lasted for two days. On the morning of the third day, Hua Shier was playing a black and white game to pass the time when suddenly that spacetime fluctuation reappeared.

This time, it wasn't a fleeting moment like before; it lasted a long time.

The next instant, a spark portal appeared next to Hua Shier, and Gu Yi, who was supposed to be the manager of 'Kenjoy Chicken', stepped in.

Clearly, the Ancient One also noticed this fluctuation in time.

Upon seeing Hua Twelve, Gu Yi nodded:

"I'm relieved to have you here. I have things to do at the shop, so I'll head out now."

She had been the Sorcerer Supreme for hundreds of years, protecting Earth in the Marvel Universe. Although she was used to it, she was also tired of it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have faked her death to escape and hand over the responsibility of protection to Strange.

Since Hua Shier was there, Gu Yi wanted to find an excuse to leave. She was about to say, "I'll head back now," but then she suddenly looked up:
"Huh, there's no magical fluctuation, and it's not naturally formed. This must be human technology. It's incredible that someone in this world can use technology to travel through time and space."

After saying that, Gu Yi shook her head and chuckled, "Anyway, it's up to you!"

After saying that, he stepped into the portal.

Hua Shier was speechless. The employee training at Kentucky Fried Chicken was all modeled after the fast food industry of later generations. What could she, as the manager, possibly do besides sitting in the office? Gu Yi just wanted to slack off.

Just as the portal was about to close, Hua Twelve's voice came through:

"Unauthorized absence from duty will result in a deduction of half a month's salary!"

Gu Yi almost stumbled. She really wanted to turn around and ask, "I've been working for you for free, managing the company for you, and I haven't received a single penny!"

However, in order to avoid being forced into hard labor by Hua Shier, he waved his hand and closed the portal.

The spacetime fluctuations continued, but showed no sign of erupting.

Hua Shier waited for a while, then felt something was wrong. He was afraid that the guy who used technology to open the door might mess around and cause some big commotion. So he immediately stepped on the ground, and the four plates of Heaven, Earth, Man and God opened simultaneously to lock onto the area where the house was located.

In this way, if anything unexpected happens, it won't affect the outside world.

With proper protection in place, Hua Shier became bolder, using the power of his primordial spirit, which he had entrusted to the upper reaches of the river of time, to break through space and time, wanting to see who was causing this mess.

As soon as he used a wisp of his primordial spirit to reach the anchor point in his spacetime, a 'pop' sound came from the surrounding space, as if something had broken open.

The surrounding scenery changed instantly. His house suddenly became twice as big, that is, the area doubled, but half of the area was his original decoration, and the area was the same as his original area.

On one side of the wall, the wall was gone, revealing another half of the space, equal in size to his original house. It was also a house, but with completely different decorations and a spatial layout that mirrored his original house.

The other half of the house is decorated in a warm and cozy style, with pink and red as the main colors. There are also some women's clothes and items, so it seems to be a girl's room.

What's a bit frustrating is that not only are the two rooms connected, but Hua Shier's newly bought king-size bed is also connected to the other party's pink king-size bed. They are linked by a spacetime force and cannot be separated.

"This"

Hua Shier was somewhat bewildered, not knowing why this situation had occurred, since he didn't have much mastery of the laws of spacetime.

Just as the two rooms were merging, in 2018, in an underground research lab in an industrial area of ​​Shanghai, a series of sparks, lightning, and explosions erupted.

The man who resembled Lu Ming and was called President Lu, along with the scientist and all the researchers, quickly ran out of the area to avoid potential harm from the experimental accident.

After running out of the basement, everyone was covered in soot and grime.

President Lu grabbed the scientist by the collar:
"What the hell are you doing? What just happened?!"

The scientist wiped the cold sweat from his brow and said sheepishly:
"I don't know either. We had just found the spacetime anchor point and were connecting with another spacetime. We were almost successful when this happened."

President Lu really wanted to punch this scientist:
"Didn't expect that? Then why did I invite you back? Why didn't you figure it out? Go and see what's going on. If you cause trouble, I won't let you off the hook!"

Although the scientist was frightened, he still weakly said, "I'm willing to help you, but please show us researchers the respect we deserve!" "I respect you."

Mr. Lu raised his fist, and the scientist quickly slipped away, taking his assistant to check the situation.

A moment later, he ran back excitedly and said:

"Mr. Lu, we have good news and bad news. Which do you choose?"

President Lu kicked him, yelling, "You think I can choose? I've invested hundreds of millions, and you want me to choose? Come here, I promise I won't kick you to death!"

The scientist said while dodging:
"No, no, please calm down. The good news is that we succeeded! We've successfully connected to the anchor point and communicated with another dimension!"

Upon hearing that the success had been achieved, the gloom on Mr. Lu's face dissipated considerably, and his mood calmed down considerably. He straightened his tie.
"That's alright, that's good news. So what's the bad news?"

The scientist subconsciously slowed his pace, which gave President Lu a bad feeling. Sure enough, the next second he heard the scientist say:

"The bad news is that our time-space instrument, as well as the twenty newly added high-power mobile generator sets, have all exploded. Well, no, not quite like explosions, they're all burned up. It's not a big problem, just a few small targets."

Mr. Lu was momentarily dazed, his body swaying. He turned his head and began searching for any controlled knives or similar items nearby, intending to personally kill the old man.

The scientists also realized that President Lu had ill intentions and quickly tried to cover it up:
"President Lu, President Lu, wasn't your investment goal to open a time wormhole? Now we've succeeded, the wormhole is open, and the investment in these small goals has already yielded returns!"

President Lu thought this made sense and immediately perked up:

"That's right, you're right. As long as we obtain some advanced information from the future, the benefits it brings me will be far more than just a few small goals, because we will control the future! Well done, Doctor! Now, take me to see the wormhole!"

The scientist wiped the cold sweat from his brow again:

"Um, Mr. Lu, is our research project simply about opening wormholes to connect different times and spaces?"

President Lu nodded: "Yes, that's exactly what we want to do—put your theory into practice, open the wormhole, and connect to the future!"

The scientist shrugged: "Yes, then it's open!"

Mr. Lu was a little confused: "Then take me there quickly!"

The scientist looked frustrated: "President Lu, why don't you understand? Our research project was to open wormholes, and now we've opened them!"

President Lu really wanted to kick him: "Then hurry up and take me there! What the hell are you dawdling about!"

Scientist: "Let me be frank, our project was to open a wormhole, and we've succeeded now, but I don't know where the wormhole is, and that's not the project we're researching!"

"If you want to find the exact location of the wormhole, you'll need to bring me another set of those instruments."

President Lu: "Don't you dare stop me, I'm going to fucking kill him!"

"Another one, you bastard! That's several small goals! Do you think this is a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe)? Do you want some crispy fried dough sticks or ham sausage? You old rascal!"

Meanwhile, inside Hua Shier's small villa, he sensed someone trying to enter his Qimen formation. Without a doubt, it was Gu Yi.

He casually opened a portal for the Ancient One to teleport in, and sure enough, the Sorcerer Supreme appeared in the room the next moment.

Hua Twelve quickly said:
"You've come at the right time. I originally wanted to use that spacetime fluctuation to see what was going on, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this!"

Without him saying so, the Ancient One had already begun to investigate. Having controlled the Time Stone for hundreds of years, the Ancient One's understanding of time and space had reached an extremely profound level, at least in the Marvel Universe, almost unmatched.

Gu Yi quickly realized the problem.

She casually drew a magic line in the air, just like she had done when teaching Hulk, and then the Ancient One touched that line, and a blue dot of light appeared on the magic line.

"This line represents the original timeline of this world, and this point is the point in time we are in!"

As Gu Yi spoke, she pointed to a point downstream of that line:

"This is the original future of this world, where someone invented a time machine that can open wormholes."

As she spoke, she pointed to the middle of the two dots:
"This point in the middle is where the wormhole was originally supposed to connect, but because of your curiosity, you used the power of spacetime to explore it, creating new coordinates. This caused the wormhole, which should have appeared several years later, to be attracted and mistakenly appear at our point in time. Your room now is the center of the wormhole, or rather, the wormhole itself."

"etc."

Hua Twelve could understand everything Gu Yi said, but he seemed to have grasped the crux of the matter:
"What do you mean by the original future of this world?"

The Ancient One explained, "The original future was a future without us, but it started from the moment we appeared in this world."

She casually drew another magic line parallel to the first one.

Hua Shier suddenly understood: "Because of our appearance, the course of this world has been changed, thus creating a new timeline."

Gu nodded and said, "That's right, that's exactly it!"

After she finished speaking, she looked around the room:
"Human technology is truly incredible; it's amazing that we can open such a stable wormhole!"

She turned to look at Hua Shier and asked, "Do you need me to turn it off for you?"

Hua Shier thought for a moment: "What harm could there be?"

Gu Yi shook his head:

"No, this wormhole will continue to exist stably as long as it has energy support. But now it has no energy support. In fact, even if we leave it alone, it will shrink and shrink and disappear within a day or two!"

Hua Shier became interested: "Then let's keep it for now. I'll go check out the future over there. Life in the 80s was a bit dull and boring!"

Gu Yi smiled and nodded, then casually opened the Anywhere Door and left.

Only then did Hua Shier begin to look through the things in the opposite room with great interest. Suddenly, he found a nameplate with a photo on the other person's table. Upon seeing the photo, his pupils contracted: "Shen."

His eyes swept over the name on the name tag: "Gu Xiaojiao?"

In an instant, many clues connected in his mind: Lu Ming, Gu Xiaojiao, and this familiar little house... This is the plot of 'How Long Will I Love U'!
