January 6, 2029. The underground archives of the Timing Police remained as quiet as ever. The only regular visitor to this place was Professor Timing. Aside from Commander Gavrilkov, no one knew his real name, date of birth, nationality, or any other personal details. Today, he was organizing books in the archive when suddenly, his communicator rang. An alarm sounded: "The mobile laboratory has been destroyed by a missile! 29 injured, 15 dead. Unfortunately, Commander Wu was struck by debris and is unconscious!“ Professor Timing turned ashen-faced. He thought: ”That major incident has truly occurred. Just days ago, Alberto Romano suddenly went missing during a mission. Now, Norman Wu On Ming has been hit by a missile!"
Simultaneously, the communicator rang again. It was Hans Zimmermann, Chief Medical Officer of the Timing Police. He reported with grave concern that Norman's wife, Cordelia Pong Yin Bing, had lost her left arm in the blast. The tissue was necrotic, necessitating the installation of a prosthetic limb. Professor Timing hung up the phone and knelt on the floor in despair and think: Why? After less than a year since I joined have such calamities struck one after another? Just then, the guerrilla captain, Gilbert Eisenhower, burst into the archives, panting as he exclaimed: “The History Pendulum has been stolen! It's the work of ‘Spade’ again—a high-ranking member of the Timing Thieves and a master hacker who managed to breach the security network!” Professor Timing was struck by a bolt from the blue, but the truly terrifying news was yet to come.
As the two discussed their next course of action, a golden book within the archives began to emit a faint, shimmering glow. Without hesitation, Professor Timing took the book and exclaimed in astonishment, “The Eight Heroes? When I read this book last week, its pages were covered in ink stains. Now, the ink on the first few pages has vanished on its own.” The first section of the book spoke of the Truth Hero, recounting the chaos that engulfed the land during the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The realm was already in profound chaos, shrouded in darkness that engulfed the Central Plains, plunging the region into suffering. In the year of the Battle of Red Cliffs, an unnamed hero emerged from somewhere, wielding a sharp sword to strike at the source of darkness. This restored light to the Central Plains and simultaneously lifted a curse from a cursed child.
Unfortunately, the author of the book could not verify the hero's identity. The description of the “Truth Hero” was extremely vague—not only was their gender unclear, but their appearance and form were also not depicted, making it impossible to determine whether the hero ever truly existed. After combing through all historical records from that era, no mention of this hero's deeds could be found. The matter became utterly perplexing. Then, Professor Timing's tracker suddenly showed abnormal readings, the system persistently alerting him to the “Truth Hero's” location. Could this hero actually be in Hong Kong? How could that be? Wasn't this hero an ancient figure?
To uncover the truth, Professor Timing obtained approval from Commander Gavrikov and traveled alone to the mobile laboratory in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, the tracker lost its signal. Despite strong reception, the elusive hero remained untraceable. Commander Gavrikov, seeking easier detection of the Timing Thieves, dispatched the military robot Saikou to Hong Kong. This robot was modeled after Norman's body, differing only in its pair of ghostly horns—actually antennas—its red-to-black gradient coloring, shoulder-length hair, and face covered in purple circuit boards. Despite their efforts, the search proved fruitless.
Just as Professor Timing was at a loss, an invisible crisis was brewing in an ordinary Hong Kong residence. They were about to lose something precious. The Liu family had two daughters: the eldest, Lau Ying, and the younger, Lau Na Yan. It was an ordinary household, yet no one could have imagined they would lose one of their daughters. On the night of December 11th, Lau Ying slipped out of the house while her family slept. She had been plagued by the same recurring dream night after night, a torment so deep even a hypnotherapist couldn't explain it. Compounding her distress were the pressures of her job and her parents' constant comparisons of each other.
The recurring dream featured a man with long hair, clad in a black robe, dark blue trousers, and brown boots, being pursued by a hideous owl. The man kept screaming, "Ying, where are you? Hurry up and come save me on the mountain! That mountain is near your home. After everyone falls asleep tonight, come to the summit and find me!" The man's appearance was not Han Chinese; he possessed blood-red eyes. After this message was delivered, the dream ended. Lau Ying had sought help from a hypnotherapist and a psychiatrist, but they could not resolve the dream either, merely attributing it to excessive stress.
That night, Lau Ying arrived at the mountain near her residence. As expected, the mysterious figure stood before her. However, she completely failed to notice Saikou patrolling nearby. To Saikou's eyes, Lau Ying had been talking to herself the entire time. Through her eye-mounted camera, Saikou transmitted the footage to Professor Timing. Upon receiving the footage, professor's tracker emitted intense vibrations and alarms. It turned out the “Truth Hero” he sought was Lau Ying. 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW9NOzTqoP
Unfortunately, the temporal turbulence intensified, violently forcing open the time tunnel—a sign that the ‘Historical Pendulum’ had been forcibly hijacked. Unfortunately, the events unfolding in China in the year 208 AD were now obscured by thick black ink. Realizing the gravity of the situation, the Time Doctor immediately hacked into Lau Ying's phone and severed all communications. The forced opening of the time tunnel meant someone had traveled through...
