Chapter 584: Can You Hear Me Speaking

Li An searched urgently inside the research institute, his gaze sweeping every corner, missing no possible clue. Suddenly, his eyes fell upon an ancient device in a corner. The device looked very old, its surface covered in dust, yet it emitted a mysterious aura, as if calling to him.

"This is..." Li An stepped forward, gently wiped the dust off the device, and observed it carefully. His fingers lightly touched the patterns on the device, and a strange sense of familiarity surged in his heart.

Just then, Guo Yao, lying on the bed, seemed to show some movement. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her fingers moved a little. Li An immediately noticed this subtle change; his heart beat suddenly faster, and he rushed to Guo Yao's side, gripping her hand tightly.

"Yaoyao, can you hear me speaking?" Li An's voice trembled, filled with anticipation. His eyes stared tightly at Guo Yao's face, as if trying to find the answer in her expression.

Guo Yao's fingers moved lightly again, as if responding to Li An's call. A warm current surged in Li An's heart, and a surprised smile appeared on his face: "Yaoyao, have you woken up? That's great!" His voice carried joy and excitement, and his eyes became slightly moist.

The people around were moved by this scene. Shiina Mayuri covered her mouth, tears shimmering in her eyes: "Mayuri is so happy; it seems Sister Guo Yao is about to wake up!" Her voice carried a slight sob, and her face beamed with an innocent smile.

Hashida Itaru also revealed a gratified smile; he pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "It seems this device really has a problem; perhaps it can really save Guo Yao." A hint of excitement and anticipation revealed itself in his eyes, and he was full of curiosity about this mysterious device.

Makise Kurisu stood aside, her eyes shimmering with curiosity and surprise: "This device... could it be related to the world lines?" Her brows furrowed slightly, and she fell into deep thought.

Amane Suzuha watched all this quietly, a hint of relief and anticipation revealed in her eyes: "I hope this is a good beginning." Her voice was calm yet firm, as if encouraging everyone.

Tsurubami scratched his head, smiling honestly: "Anyway, it's good to have a turning point." His face beamed with a sincere smile, making people feel warm.

Li An paid no attention to the reactions of the people around; his full attention was focused on Guo Yao. He held Guo Yao's hand tightly, as if it were the most important thing in his life. Guo Yao's fingers moved lightly a few more times, as if striving to respond to Li An's warmth. The atmosphere between the two became ambiguous yet sweet, as if the whole world contained only the two of them.

Just then, the device suddenly emitted a burst of intense light, within which strange symbols and patterns flashed. Li An was startled by this sudden change, but he quickly calmed down and began to observe these symbols and patterns carefully.

As his observation deepened, Li An's expression gradually became grave. He discovered that these symbols and patterns were actually hiding deeper secrets of the world lines. This secret might be the key to solving all problems.

"This... how is this possible?" Li An murmured to himself, shock and excitement revealed in his eyes. He realized he might have found the method to save Guo Yao and repair the world lines.

Just then, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside. Everyone rushed out to check and saw a group of SERN soldiers charging toward the institute. Their faces bore cold expressions, weapons in hand, and they emitted an oppressive feeling.
