Gemini first took out the specially prepared small bag. Put it directly on the table. Gestured for Sun Aihua to open it himself.
"There should be your letter inside. You'll understand after reading it!" Gemini said confidently.
While packing, she'd already seen letters. But the Daoist sect wasn't sure if that world had their counterparts. So everyone who could reach leaders left letters. Originally Gemini planned to personally visit Mount Laojun to find Elder Sun. But after arriving here, after reading the precautions, discovered those recipients' locations were all places foreigners couldn't go. So when Gemini arrived in China, she was quite worried. How to hand things over? Who knew luck would be this good—just landed and met someone familiar.
Sun Aihua took the small bag. Probed slightly. Knew this was something like their Qiankun bags. Asked Gemini once. Started turning the bag upside down. Things inside clattered onto the table.
Sun Aihua flipped through. Found the letter Gemini mentioned. A stack of letters bundled together. The paper should be unique to the Daoist sect. Easy to recognize.
Taking the letter with Sun Aihua's name, he frowned. This letter's handwriting looked somewhat familiar.
Opened the letter and started reading. Soon, he looked up in shock. Looked at Gemini. Looked at the letter. Took a long while to find his voice.
"You really went to the Heavenly Court?!" Sun Aihua asked incredulously.
Gemini was confused. What exactly did Elder Sun write in the letter? Why ask this?
"I did go. Through your Heavenly Ladder too." Gemini said honestly. The sharp aura outside the room made her involuntarily more obedient. Who knew if one wrong word would get her surrounded? Better be honest.
"You really are—how do you say it? A spacetime tourist?" Sun Aihua's mouth could barely close. Looking at the table full of books and electronic storage materials, his hands couldn't help trembling. Just now—were his movements too rough?
"I really am. Entrusted by future Elder Sun to come to China to deliver things. Otherwise what would I do here?" Gemini barely resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Why was young Elder Sun so naggy?
Sun Aihua rapidly waved his arms. Almost had afterimages. Items on the table were quickly sorted by him. Casually opened some materials. Inside were blueprints and various data for an airplane. Though he couldn't understand, he understood airplanes!
"Sorry, I'm a bit excited. This letter is real. Has my own secret mark on it. But this matter is too big. I need to report up! Can you wait here?" Sun Aihua looked at the table of things in awe. Asked Gemini excitedly.
Gemini thought about it. Her main purpose here was delivering things anyway. Staying here was fine. "Of course. But can you find me some food? And a room—can I rest first?"
Sun Aihua slapped his forehead hard. Gemini grimaced watching the spot on his forehead instantly turn red. Not his own pain, huh?
"Look at my memory. Forgot you just got off the plane. Like this—as long as you don't leave this courtyard, go anywhere! I'll find someone to arrange it!" Sun Aihua said. Directly opened the door. Shouted outside: "Little Li! Come down! Everyone else stay alert! Except me and this foreign friend, no one can enter or leave this room!"
A young Daoist jumped down from the roof. Stood at the door waiting. He didn't want to test Sun Aihua's words. He said can't enter, then can't enter.
Sun Aihua called Gemini out. Introduced: "This is our resident clerk. Just call him Little Li. Little Li, take Miss—uh, Miss Black to find a room in the courtyard to wash up and rest. Arrange food too. Use our highest standard! Must take good care!"
Gemini's mouth twitched. "My surname is Black, not Bu!"
Sun Aihua smiled awkwardly. "Right, I remember! Miss Bu—no, Miss Black."
Gemini really couldn't help it. Rolled her eyes. Stopped dealing with Sun Aihua. Looked directly at Little Li. "Let's go now. I'm already very tired."
Little Li smiled and led Gemini out of the small courtyard. Through a covered walkway to the adjacent courtyard. Opened the door and invited Gemini in. Inside was a main room and two side rooms. Bathroom and everything quite complete.
After introducing the room layout, Little Li took his leave.
Not long after, he returned carrying a food box. Set the food in the main hall.
Gemini looked at what was supposedly the highest standard treatment on the table. Very ordinary breakfast. A bowl of tofu pudding, two fried dough sticks, a boiled egg, and a small dish of pickles.
Gemini understood immediately. China at this time had just recovered. Not very prosperous. This government department's highest treatment was already quite good.
Didn't say much. Gemini skillfully picked up chopsticks. Grabbed a dough stick and stuffed it in her mouth. Just heard a crunch. The crispy outside, soft inside dough stick filled her mouth with flour fragrance. Gemini's eyes lit up. No wonder those older Daoist masters always said things were better before. Gemini finally understood their regret.
After breakfast, Gemini looked at the dishes on the table. Directly used her wand for a Scouring Charm. Saved getting her hands dirty. Chinese houses were different from British houses. Kitchens were outside. Gemini didn't want to command these dishes to fly across the courtyard to wash. This was more convenient.
Little Li watched Gemini's actions. Just curious. Didn't say much. Even thanked Gemini for cleaning the dishes. Packed up the food box he brought. Gemini said she wanted to wash up and rest. Asked Sun Aihua to wait until afternoon if he needed her.
Little Li nodded understanding. Quickly cleaned up and left.
Gemini also set up alert charms in the room. Casually washed up. Collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.
Sun Aihua's side wasn't as comfortable. He first made a round of phone calls. Then picked out letters marked with familiar names. Started transmitting messages using Daoist methods.
Before noon, the small courtyard outside was surrounded by people. Officials, researchers, and those recipients. Outside the Related Department was completely surrounded by the military. In this area, except for Gemini the foreigner, forget people—not even a foreign fly existed.
"How is it? Verified yet?!" Sun Aihua anxiously asked the researchers. As long as one item was confirmed real, then could confirm all these things were real. This was no small matter. This could absolutely make the country take off!
"Logically, this data is very mature. In my view, there are no errors. But the key data—it says here it's in this little thing. But you know, our country's various basic equipment isn't great. Can't view it!" The white-haired researcher helplessly looked at the small USB drive in his hand. Really felt powerless.
Sun Aihua also frowned. This was difficult. Could it be the China in the parallel world already had these things in this era, so sent them over? If so, that's problematic. They'd have to first research something to display the data. But what if the data inside was fake? Wouldn't they be working for nothing?
"What about that spacetime tourist? Why not ask her?" the researcher suggested.
Sun Aihua heard this. Looked at Little Li on the side. "What did that girl say?"
Little Li checked the time. "She said afternoon was fine. This time is already lunch. Should I go deliver food and ask?"
Sun Aihua nodded. "Mm, go. Make it better. If this is real, she's our benefactor. If fake—" Sun Aihua's expression turned solemn. "A last meal should be good too."
Little Li nodded understanding. Turned and left.
Soon, he was knocking on Gemini's courtyard gate carrying a much larger food box than morning.
Gemini yawned and waved her wand. The gate opened automatically. She rubbed her eyes. Looked at the big sun outside. "Already noon?"
Little Li quietly set out the food. Only then smiled and answered: "Yes, I brought you lunch. Daoist Sun wants to consult you about some things. Don't know if it's convenient."
Gemini looked at the four dishes and soup on the table. Washed her hands and sat at the table. "No problem. I'll go after eating. Oh right, can I go over?"
Little Li nodded. "Of course. Eat first. Leave it here when done. Someone will clean up. I'll take you directly over."
Gemini immediately knew there must be some problem. Otherwise Little Li wouldn't act so urgent. Didn't say much. Quickly finished the meal. Rinsed her mouth. Then followed Little Li back to the surrounded courtyard.
As soon as she entered, everyone stared at her intently. Everyone looked at her with expectant and curious eyes. Made Gemini shiver hard.
Smiled awkwardly. Gemini looked at Sun Aihua questioningly. "Is there a problem?"
Sun Aihua held up a small USB drive for her to see. "This thing—we have no way to view what's inside."
Gemini frowned at the USB drive. Shouldn't be. The things Elder Sun and them prepared—didn't they know this era couldn't view it?
Thought for a long time. Gemini suddenly remembered something Sun Xiaoxiao stuffed her before leaving. Just said to open it after arriving in China.
Gemini quickly searched her bag. Took a long time to find a wooden box.
Opened the box. Inside was a note and a small laptop with USB ports. The note was written in Latin. Told Gemini to find one of those recipients. Use voice unlock on this laptop's simple AI.
Gemini handed the note to Sun Aihua. Made Sun Aihua completely confused. Gemini then realized—Latin, this minor language, not many in China knew it in this era. This was for secrecy?
After Gemini explained, people around suddenly showed understanding. The official immediately arranged people. Triple-checked everyone's background and family conditions. Sure enough, a squad of soldiers dragged out several people. Everyone looked relieved. Actually infiltrated to the core area. Too wrong!
Gemini also looked at the dragged-away people in fear. If not for Sun Xiaoxiao's secrecy measures, might really have been stolen by spies!
Gemini gripped the laptop tightly. Looked around alertly. "I need to use magic on you. To detect malice. No objections?"
Sun Aihua immediately said use freely. They'd also use Heart-Questioning spells on everyone present. Those dragged out just now had seen these materials. To infiltrate here, the backing must be significant. Who knew if there were more among those present.
After repeated confirmation, basically everyone remaining was safe. Only then did Gemini hand the laptop to Sun Aihua. Following the note's prompt, called out: "Diting, voice verification."
The laptop instantly started. A neither-male-nor-female electronic voice stiffly sounded: "Diting received. Please verifier speak a sentence of 15 characters or more."
Gemini quickly gave Sun Aihua looks. Let him speak.
At this moment Sun Aihua couldn't remember what to say. Directly started reciting the Supreme Lord Laojun's full title.
After he finished the full 32-character title, Diting's screen lit up. Displayed a white canine image resembling a lion. "Voiceprint verification successful. Sun Aihua, welcome."
People around curiously gathered. This pure technological product was really rare in this era when electricity wasn't even fully popularized.
After researching a while, Sun Aihua, guided by Diting, inserted the USB drive into the computer port. Data streams began displaying. Plus videos of China's 70th anniversary military parade. Plus documentaries from various industries.
Gemini rolled her eyes. Their secrecy work was really good. How could ordinary USB drives hold this much? This was definitely modified. Even if this side had USB reading capability, without Diting's help, definitely couldn't read it.
With those videos as proof, finally proved Gemini's identity and those materials. Sun Aihua was so excited he didn't know what to do. Those researchers also had tears in their eyes. This was data that could save China how many years of detours. More precious than anything!
Looking at it this way, the person who sent these materials was absolutely a benefactor!
"Miss Black! You say it! What do you want? Say it! We'll do everything to get it for you!" Sun Aihua waved his hand. Said confidently.
