Chapter 411: Museum Curator is Terrified
"Bai Wei, don't be anxious yet," Zhou Yuchuan comforted, "I have already told Professor Ye and Museum Curator about your situation, and they are currently discussing it."
"What?" Bai Wei was stunned, "You, you told them about me traveling to ancient times and helping the Beijiang Army?"
"Yes," Zhou Yuchuan paused, "We are currently in the city, you should come over now."
"Let me come over?" Bai Wei was shocked again, "After I go, won't I be treated as a research subject and captured for study?"
"No," Zhou Yuchuan laughed, "Besides, even if someone wanted to study you, I wouldn't agree to it."
"O-okay."
Things having reached this point, Bai Wei could no longer afford to think about anything else.
She grabbed her car keys and drove to the city.
One hour later.
Bai Wei arrived in the city and pushed open the doors to the conference room.
In the spacious office, the curtains were drawn tightly shut.
Museum Curator and Ye Lao were sitting by the conference table with a stack of documents in front of them, both of them frowning deeply.
Zhou Yuchuan was standing by the table, telling them something.
"Museum Curator, Ye Lao, I'm here," Bai Wei greeted as she walked into the conference room.
Zhou Yuchuan looked up and smiled, gesturing with his chin, "You've come just in time; I was just discussing with Museum Curator and Ye Lao how to help the Beijiang."
Bai Wei's heart skipped a beat.
Could they believe such a bizarre story?
"Bai Wei, Little Zhou already told me everything just now," Ye Lao let out a breath and adjusted his reading glasses, "Little Zhou said you can travel through time and space, and even went to ancient times to help an ancient army fight in a war?"
Museum Curator was also impatient, "Xiao Wei, tell me, does Little Zhou often like to talk nonsense lately? How could this be possible?"
Bai Wei steadied herself, "Museum Curator, Ye Lao, what Zhou Yuchuan said is true. I do indeed have the power to travel through time and space."
"Nonsense!" Museum Curator stood up with a start, "It's one thing for Little Zhou to be acting foolish, but why are you following along with his gibberish?"
"Wait," Ye Lao raised a hand to stop him, eyeing Bai Wei meaningfully, "Although modern scientists have yet to find a way to travel through time and space, the wormhole theory does exist. Xiao Wei, if you say you can travel through time and space, you must prove it to us."
"Alright," Bai Wei nodded.
She took a slip of paper she carried with her from her bag and scribbled on it.
"Xiao Moting, send me a few things; I need to show them to the professor."
After Bai Wei finished writing, she tossed the slip of paper into the air.
In an instant, the slip of paper vanished.
The two old men by the table were instantly startled.
"Where is the paper? Where did it go?" Museum Curator hurriedly looked around.
Ye Lao also peered everywhere, "I clearly saw it thrown into the air, where did it drift off to?"
"It must be my eyes playing tricks on me," Museum Curator simply refused to believe it.
Bai Wei smiled without a word.
In any case, they would see a miracle in a moment.
Suddenly, a white teapot appeared on the office desk.
"This, this..." Museum Curator was terrified, "Where did this pot come from?"
Bai Wei tilted her head, "It was teleported from ancient times, wasn't it?"
"This... this is an antique!" Ye Lao blurted out, "A white porcelain Chicken-headed Ewer from the Daliang Kingdom! There are fewer than five complete Chicken-headed Ewers unearthed in the country!"
As he spoke, he reached out to pick up the teapot for a closer look.
The moment Ye Lao's fingers touched the teapot, he let out an "Ow!" in pain from the heat.
"So hot! There is boiling water in this pot!"
Bai Wei smiled and lifted the lid, and a fragrance of tea drifted out from the pot.
"What kind of tea is this, so fragrant?" Museum Curator sniffed, then suddenly gasped in shock, "This seems to be... a Golden Leaf Tea Brick? There isn't much of this ancient tea left in circulation, and hasn't it been extinct for a long time? I only drank it once when I was young at a collector friend's place abroad."
Just as he was speaking, another object suddenly appeared in the conference room.
"Neigh!"
A reddish-brown, half-grown horse stood on the office desk, and there was War Armor on its back.
The little horse was also startled when it saw these people; it immediately raised its hooves, nimbly leaped off the conference table, and ran around the room, looking for a place to bolt out.
"This, this!" Museum Curator was dumbfounded.
Ye Lao was completely stupefied, staring straight at the little horse.
"This is... a Great Liang Horse, an extinct Great Liang Horse!"
Finding no way out, the little horse saw the monstera plant growing in the conference room and simply ran over to the flowerpot to gnaw on the leaves.
The two old men were completely stunned, both of them with their mouths wide open.
Just a moment ago, an antique teapot had appeared out of thin air with extinct ancient tea brewing inside, and now a living creature had actually popped out, wearing antique War Armor!
Zhou Yuchuan, however, was unfazed and said with a smile.
"Museum Curator, Professor Ye, do you believe it now?"
Fearing the little horse would run around, Bai Wei quickly waved her hand and Teleportation-ed it back to Xiao Moting.
Instantly, the little horse that had been gnawing on the plant vanished.
At this moment, Museum Curator came back to his senses and, seeing the little horse was gone, shouted in a panic.
"Where is the horse? Quickly, bring that Great Liang Horse back! That is an extinct species!"
"Museum Curator, no need to rush," Bai Wei said with a smile, "I'll get you a whole herd of such horses when the time comes."
Ye Lao adjusted his reading glasses and let out a long sigh.
"It's too miraculous; if we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, we truly wouldn't dare believe it."
Museum Curator Qin was half-doubting, "Xiao Wei, can you really travel through time and space?"
"Yes." Bai Wei nodded, "I have been to the ancient Daliang, and those antiques I brought out before were actually taken from the Daliang Kingdom."
The two old men looked at each other.
Ye Lao turned his head and spoke hurriedly.
"You haven't mentioned this matter to anyone else, have you?"
Bai Wei shook her head.
"Only you two know."
Ye Lao let out a sigh of relief, "That's good. You must not tell anyone about this, otherwise your personal safety will be in danger!"
"Indeed." Museum Curator Qin had recovered by now and said earnestly, "Your ability is too miraculous. Currently, no scientific research institution in the world has found a way to travel through time and space. If they knew about your ability, they would definitely capture you and conduct all sorts of research."
Ye Lao said, "We will also keep your ability a secret and will never capture you for research. It's just that your possession of such an ability is of great help to our archaeology and the completion of ancient records; we could conduct more in-depth research into ancient humanities and solve some unsolved mysteries in history."
Zhou Yuchuan added from the side, "Bai Wei, Museum Curator Qin and Ye Lao just told me that they won't tell anyone about your situation."
"Thank you." Bai Wei nodded gratefully, then asked anxiously, "Museum Curator Qin, Professor Ye, now that you have seen that I can travel through time and space, can you help me?"
"This..." The two old men looked at each other, their faces showing signs of difficulty in unison.
Ye Lao gave a dry cough.
"Just now, Xiao Zhou said that you want to help the ancient Beijiang Army fight a war and want me to get a batch of weapons."
"But history within time and space cannot be easily changed. If you intervene and change the trajectory of history, the future course of history will be different."
"Therefore, Museum Curator Qin and I both feel that we cannot intervene in any matters of the ancient world, so as to avoid triggering a butterfly effect."
