Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

"Dr. Li, you said you are researching time travel? This...how is this possible?" The jade pendant in Chu Mengmeng's hand almost slipped, fortunately Xiao Yichen caught it quickly.

Dr. Li pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said with a smile, "I know this sounds incredible, but seeing is believing." He took out an exquisite metal ball from the box he carried with him. The surface of the sphere was covered with complex and delicate patterns, and it faintly emitted a faint blue light.

"What is this?" Xiao Yichen asked curiously.

"This is a miniature space-time model," Dr. Li explained. "It can simulate the process of space-time distortion and travel."

As he spoke, he placed the metal ball on the table and gently pushed one of the buttons. The metal ball suddenly shone brightly, projecting a vast starry sky, with nebulae spinning as if within reach. Then, the starry sky gradually twisted, forming a vortex-shaped black hole, with dazzling light flashing in the center of the black hole, as if it was a passage to another world.

"Is this the gate of time and space?" Chu Mengmeng covered her mouth in surprise.

"That's right," Dr. Li nodded. "Through this model, we can clearly see the principle of time travel. And the jade pendant in your hand is the key to open the door to real time and space."

Xiao Yichen frowned, and handed the jade pendant to Dr. Li, "Are you saying that the reason why our family came here is because of this jade pendant?"

Dr. Li took the jade pendant, carefully examined the characters on it, and slowly said: "This jade pendant contains a powerful force of time and space. It brings you from the future to the present, and also gives you the opportunity to change your destiny."

"Change my destiny?" Chu Mengmeng murmured to herself, and the various hardships and trials she had experienced, as well as the relatives and friends she had lost, emerged in her mind.

"Yes, change your destiny." Dr. Li's eyes were firm and hopeful. "I know you come from a future full of suffering, but now you have the opportunity to change it all, not only for yourself, but also for more people."

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other, their eyes full of shock and expectation. They had never thought that they would shoulder such an important mission.

"But what should we do?" Xiao Yichen asked.

Dr. Li pondered for a moment and said, "We need to collect some special energy crystals to activate the time-space travel device..." He stopped talking abruptly, as if he was thinking about something.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's hearts were in their throats. They were eager to know more, to know how to change the future and protect their family and friends.

"But, what should we do?" Xiao Yichen asked, eager to know how to change the future and protect their family and friends.

Dr. Li pondered for a moment, glanced at Chu Mengmeng's family of four, and slowly said: "We need to collect some special energy crystals to activate the time-space travel device. These crystals contain huge energy, and only they can open the door of time and space and send you back to the future."

"Energy crystals?" Chu Mengmeng repeated the unfamiliar word, her mind full of questions, "What do these crystals look like? Where can we find them?"

Dr. Li took out a palm-sized transparent crystal from his pocket. The crystal was flowing with colorful light, beautiful and mysterious. "This crystal is called 'Tears of Time and Space'. It contains a powerful force of time and space, and is the key to activating the time travel device."

"Tears of Time and Space..." Chu Mengmeng murmured to herself, staring at the crystal in Dr. Li's hand, as if she wanted to see through it.

"The Tears of Time and Space are scattered all over the world, and only people with special abilities can sense their existence." Dr. Li paused and turned his gaze to Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen, "I believe that you are the ones who are destined to find them."

"We?" Chu Mengmeng pointed at herself and Xiao Yichen, her face full of disbelief, "But we don't have any special abilities?"

"No, you do." Dr. Li smiled mysteriously, "You come from the future, which in itself is a special ability. Moreover, I believe this jade pendant will also guide you to find the Tears of Time and Space."

Xiao Yichen clenched the jade pendant in his hand, feeling the warmth coming from it, and his heart was filled with determination. "Dr. Li, please tell us, what can we do to find the Tears of Time and Space?"

Dr. Li nodded and began to explain to them in detail how to find the Tears of Time and Space, as well as the things they needed to pay attention to.

In this way, a new goal and a new adventure were placed before Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen. They decided to take the children on a journey to find the Tears of Time and Space. In order to change the future and to protect the people they loved, they did not hesitate.

It was late at night, and Dr. Li left the shop and disappeared into the night. Chu Mengmeng's family of four sat around the table, and everyone's face was full of determination and hope.

"Mom and Dad, are we really going to look for the Tears of Time and Space?" The little daughter Xiao Yao asked curiously, blinking her big eyes.

"Yes, baby." Chu Mengmeng stroked her daughter's hair gently, "We have to find the Tears of Time and Space, change the future, and protect the people we love."

"Will we be in danger?" The youngest son Xiao Xiao clenched the toy sword in his hand, his young face full of worry.

"Don't worry, baby." Xiao Yichen hugged his son into his arms, "We will protect you."

Outside the window, the night is deep and the stars are twinkling. Chu Mengmeng and her family of four look at the starry sky, their hearts full of longing and expectation for the future. They know that the road ahead is full of unknowns and challenges, but they will not give up, because their hearts are full of love and hope.

What they didn't know was that in the dark, a pair of eyes were silently watching them, with a meaningful smile on the corner of their mouth...

 Chapter 207 The fog gradually clears

The morning sun shines on the bluestone slabs in front of the store, adding a touch of warmth to this quaint town. Chu Mengmeng's family of four got up early, packed their bags, and prepared to embark on a journey to find the "Tears of Time and Space".

"Mengmeng, is the map really okay?" Xiao Yichen asked as he carefully checked the necessities in his backpack. Since he learned the truth about his family's time travel, the burden on his shoulders has become heavier. His sense of mission to protect his family and change the future has made him dare not slack off.

"Don't worry, the jade pendant given by Dr. Li will guide us to find the 'Tears of Time and Space'." Chu Mengmeng hung a crystal clear jade pendant around her neck. The jade pendant exuded a faint warmth, which made her feel extremely at ease.

The two little guys were also excitedly carrying their small backpacks and holding toys in their hands, full of anticipation for the upcoming adventure. Xiao Xiao waved the toy sword in his hand and said in a baby voice: "Mom and Dad, let's go, defeat the monster and find the treasure!"

Chu Mengmeng smiled and rubbed her son's head, then took her daughter's hand and said, "Okay, let's go!"

The family of four embarked on an unknown journey. They crossed dense forests, climbed over towering mountains, walked through desolate Gobi, and experienced all kinds of hardships and dangers along the way. Sometimes they encountered sudden rainstorms, sometimes they got lost in maze-like caves, and sometimes they even encountered ferocious beasts.

But no matter what difficulties they encounter, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen always maintain optimism and courage, support each other and overcome them together. They teach their children to face challenges bravely, unite and never give up. The family becomes closer and closer in the adventure, and their feelings for each other become deeper.

Finally, on a moonlit night, the jade pendant led them to a quiet valley. The valley was filled with light mist, and several ancient buildings were vaguely visible, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

"Mom and Dad, it's so beautiful here!" Xiao Yao pointed deep into the valley and shouted excitedly.

"It seems we have found the right place." Xiao Yichen held Chu Mengmeng's hand tightly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

They walked carefully into the valley and came to an ancient altar. In the center of the altar stood a huge crystal, which was full of light and emitted powerful energy fluctuations. It was the "Tears of Time and Space" they had been searching for.

Just as they were about to step forward to take away the "Tears of Time and Space", a sinister laugh suddenly sounded around them.

"Haha, haha, it's really true that after searching for a long time, I finally found it without any effort!"

A dark shadow dropped from the sky and stood in front of them, his tone full of greed and malice.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were startled, realizing that they had encountered an uninvited guest...
