“Maybe?” Guo Miao gently closed her eyes, and the past flashed in her mind. “We might have met again. I tried to find you and create you, but 1 never succeeded.”

“Create me? What? Are you Nuwa?” Tong Pei laughed lightly.

It seemed that Guo Miao had started to talk nonsense after drinking too much.

“Of course, with the technology a thousand years later, it’s possible to create clones and Al.” Guo Miao sighed.

A thousand years later, in the Empire, she had once led a project called the Nuwa Project. The goal was to create clones to replace deceased people to live beside their loved ones.

However, no matter how it was set up, no matter what method was used to nurture it, there was no way to create a person that was exactly the same as the original person.

Guo Miao’s initial intention was to create clones of her father and brother to accompany her.

At that time, it sounded crazy.

However, Guo Miao was born in the slums of the Empire. She had no family or friends. She could not control her guilt and longing for her brother and father. Other than her father and brother, the other person she wanted to copy was none other than Tong Pei.

Although they had only met once, he was like a ray of light to Guo Miao at that time, lighting up her life.

Although she fell back into the abyss in the end, she could not forget the person who had once rekindled her hope in life.

Unfortunately, no matter what method she used, she could not do it. Guo Miao had spent a lot of effort on the Nuwa Project, but it had never succeeded.

How could such a thing succeed? The existence of loved ones and loved ones was unique and irreplaceable. How could it be replicated by technology?

Even if she could clone someone who looked exactly like the other party, those memories could not be replicated at all.

“Fortunately, I was able to return to this time and space, save my father and brother, get to know everyone again, and meet you once more.”

Tong Pei furrowed his brows, and his hand that was holding the phone also tightened.

In the past, he only felt that Guo Miao had many secrets, but now he felt that he was getting closer and closer to her secret. He seemed to have touched the edge of that secret.

After a long time, Tong Pei spoke, “In the past, did anything bad happen in this space-time continuum?”

“Mm,” Guo Miao replied softly, and the other side quieted down.

“Can you tell me what happened at that time?” Tong Pei asked. He was afraid that Guo Miao wouldn’t say it.

“At that time, many unfortunate things happened, but I met you.” Guo Miao eventually said, “Although it was only for a moment, 1 really remembered that moment for a very long time.”

Guo Miao paused for a long time after saying this.

Tong Pei didn’t say anything and just held his phone tightly.

It was already night in the capital.

The lights on the top floor of Jinyue Group were off. The huge neon sign lit up the entire room. Tong Pei sat on the chair in front of the carpet for a long time.

After a while, the girl’s even breathing could be heard from the other side.

Although today’s military exercise went smoothly, it was also very tiring. Moreover, Guo Miao drank alcohol, so she fell asleep in an instant.

After a long time, Tong Pei said, “Good night.”

There was no response from the other side. Tong Pei put his phone aside and looked out the window. The reflection of the window reflected his tear-stained face.

It turned out that those existences had truly existed before. The time and space he had once been in had overlapped with hers.

This time was probably the smoothest out of so many times. He would definitely protect her and not make the same mistake again.

The morning sun shone on Guo Miao’s face. She slowly got out of bed. She fell asleep after eating the cake last night and didn’t even wash up.

She quickly went to the bathroom to take a shower and tidied herself up. She then changed into the clothes that the research institute had prepared for her.

She had come in a hurry yesterday and had not had time to change her clothes.

Guo Miao looked in the mirror and tidied up her uniform. The style of the uniform was very similar to that of a military uniform. Once she put it on, her temperament became very different.

Guo Miao looked at herself in the mirror and took a deep breath. It was probably going to be a very tiring day..
