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

In the dim factory, the cries of Xiao Xiao and Xiao Yao echoed. Chu Mengmeng's heart was broken. She hoped that this was just a nightmare and that when she woke up, the family of four would still be in their warm little home. But the cold reality gripped her tightly.

Xiao Yichen took a deep breath, protected his wife and children behind him, and looked at the man in black with a firm gaze: "Follow me." He turned and walked into the depths of the factory. Every step felt like walking on the edge of a knife. He knew the road ahead was dangerous, but he had no choice.

They passed through long and dark corridors, the air was filled with the pungent smell of chemicals, and finally, a huge steel door appeared in front of them, with a striking skull logo printed on it.

"The gate of time and space is inside." Xiao Yichen said in a low voice, with an imperceptible tremor in his tone.

The man in black sneered and signaled his men to open the door. The heavy sound of metal friction echoed in the empty factory, like a call from hell. The door slowly opened, and a dazzling light poured out from the crack of the door, making it impossible to open your eyes.

When Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen adjusted to the light, they gasped at the sight before them. A huge spherical device occupied the entire space, with countless cables and pipes connecting it, flashing a frightening blue light. Around the device, a group of people in white coats were busy working nervously, and various instruments issued shrill alarms.

"What are they doing?" Chu Mengmeng asked in horror.

"They are trying to open the door of time and space and connect different time and space." Xiao Yichen's face was solemn, "If they succeed, the whole world will fall into chaos!"

At this moment, a cold voice came from behind them: "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the forbidden area!"

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen turned around suddenly and saw a man in a black robe and a hideous mask standing behind them. He was tall and exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Who are you?" Xiao Yichen asked vigilantly.

"I am what you call the 'Dark Devil'." The man in black said in a cold tone, "You can't stop my plan. The gate of time and space is about to open, and this world will be dominated by me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Black Demon launched his attack. He was as fast as lightning and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Xiao Yichen. He had a sharp dagger in his hand and stabbed him in the heart.

At the critical moment, Chu Mengmeng pushed Xiao Yichen away violently, and the dagger just grazed his arm, leaving a bloody mark.

"Are you okay?" Chu Mengmeng asked anxiously.

"I'm fine." Xiao Yichen shook his head, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

"Hmph, you overestimate your own abilities!" The Black Demon snorted coldly and launched another attack.

A fierce battle began. Although Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were just ordinary people, they showed amazing courage and strength to fight against the Black Demon in order to protect their children. However, the Black Demon was the leader of a mysterious organization after all, and his strength was unfathomable. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen gradually fell into a disadvantage.

At this moment, Chu Mengmeng found a red button on the console with "Self-destruct Device" written on it. She suddenly had an idea and shouted to Xiao Yichen, "Attract his attention, I'll destroy the device!"

Xiao Yichen understood what he meant and tried his best to entangle the black demon. Chu Mengmeng took the opportunity to rush to the control console and pressed the red button hard.

"No!" Seeing this, the Black Demon's eyes were bloodshot, but he had been entangled by Xiao Yichen and could not stop Chu Mengmeng at all.

Alarms rang throughout the factory. The spherical device began to vibrate violently, with blue light flickering, as if it would explode at any moment...

The shrill alarm echoed in the empty factory. The spherical device vibrated violently. The blue light flickered, illuminating the faces of everyone present. A suffocating atmosphere of tension filled the air.

Black Demon finally showed a panicked look on his face. He struggled frantically, trying to get rid of Xiao Yichen's grip, and roared, "You all must die! Be buried with me!"

"Mengmeng, run!" Xiao Yichen tried his best to suppress the black demon to the ground and shouted to Chu Mengmeng anxiously.

Chu Mengmeng knew that time was running out, but she did not abandon Xiao Yichen to escape alone. Instead, she rushed to his side without hesitation, held his hand tightly, and said firmly: "Let's go together!"

At this critical moment, a dazzling white light suddenly fell from the sky, covering the entire factory. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen closed their eyes instinctively, and a deafening roar came to their ears.

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in an unfamiliar room. The room was small, warmly decorated, and filled with a faint floral scent, which was in stark contrast to the gloomy and terrifying factory before.

"Where is this? Are we saved?" Chu Mengmeng looked around and asked in confusion.

"This is Dr. Li's laboratory." A familiar voice came from behind.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen turned around suddenly and saw Dr. Li standing at the door with a smile on his face and a cup of steaming tea in his hand.

"Dr. Li? It's really you! Why are you here?" Xiao Yichen asked in surprise.

"Don't be impatient. Listen to me slowly." Dr. Li motioned them to sit down and spoke slowly, "I have been secretly observing you and looking for a way to stop the black magic. Just now, I activated the time-space travel device to teleport you back from the factory."

"Time travel?" Chu Mengmeng covered her mouth in disbelief. "You mean, we went back to the past?"

"Yes, time goes back to before you entered the factory." Dr. Li nodded. "I know this is hard to understand, but I assure you, this is all true."

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other, although they were still confused, but Dr. Li's words undoubtedly brought them hope. They finally escaped from that nightmare experience.

"But what about the black devil? And our children..." Chu Mengmeng asked worriedly.

"The time-travel device can only transport living things. The Black Demon and those children..." Dr. Li's tone became heavy. "I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do."

"No, Dr. Li, thank you for saving us." Xiao Yichen held Dr. Li's hand and said gratefully, "We will find a way to rescue the children and stop the Black Demon's conspiracy."

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen realized that this was not the end, but a new beginning. They went back to the past, which meant they still had a chance to change the future. They had to solve the problem at the source in order to truly stop the conspiracy of the mysterious organization and protect the people they loved.

At this time, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen who returned to the past did not know that what was waiting for them would be a more thrilling challenge and a more cruel truth...

 Chapter 209: The Jedi Strikes Back

"Can time travel really change everything?" Chu Mengmeng murmured to herself, worry written all over her delicate face. Returning to the familiar laboratory, she felt unprecedented confusion.

Xiao Yichen gently held her hand, his eyes firm: "Mengmeng, no matter what, we must protect our children and never let the tragedy happen again."

Dr. Li looked at the two of them, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "The fact that you can come back proves that there is still a chance. The Black Demon and his organization have been around for a long time. If we want to completely eradicate them, we must find their roots."

"The source?" Chu Mengmeng frowned slightly, "Doctor Li, do you know anything?"

Dr. Li pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I once participated in a study on the development of human potential, but later found that the research was used for illegal purposes, so I withdrew from the project. As far as I know, the organization that Black Demon belongs to seems to be related to this research."

"Potential development?" Xiao Yichen keenly caught the key words, "Do they want to use this technology to control humans?"

"It's very likely." Dr. Li nodded solemnly, "If this technology is abused, the consequences will be disastrous."

"We must stop them!" Chu Mengmeng clenched her fists, her eyes determined.

"But where should we start?" Xiao Yichen frowned. They knew almost nothing about this mysterious organization.

Dr. Li pondered for a moment and said, "I remember that the person in charge of the research project was named Professor Zhang. Perhaps we can find a breakthrough from him."

"Professor Zhang?" Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw.

In order not to alert the enemy, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen decided to investigate secretly. They used the Internet and their connections to finally find Professor Zhang's address.

It was a secluded villa located in the suburbs, surrounded by green trees and quiet environment.

"Are we just going in like this?" Chu Mengmeng lowered her voice, a little hesitant.

Xiao Yichen shook his head: "Let's observe the situation first."

The two hid behind a big tree opposite the villa and observed the situation inside the villa through the dense branches and leaves.

The lights in the villa were dim and the curtains were closed, so I couldn't see what was going on inside.

At this moment, the door of the villa suddenly opened, and an old man with a hunched body and gray hair walked out.

"It's Professor Zhang!" Chu Mengmeng recognized him at the first sight.

Professor Zhang walked slowly into the garden and sat down on a stone bench. He looked lonely, with a look of pain and struggle in his eyes that was hard to conceal.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other, their hearts full of doubts. Could this kind-looking old man really be the mastermind behind the evil organization?

Just as they were about to show up, a black car stopped silently in front of the villa.

The car door opened, and a man in a black suit and sunglasses got out. He walked up to Professor Zhang and bowed respectfully: "Professor, I brought what you wanted."

The man pulled out a metal box from his arms and handed it to Professor Zhang.

Professor Zhang took the box with trembling hands, his eyes complicated, as if he was making a difficult decision.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen held their breath and stared at the box in Professor Zhang's hand, feeling an ominous premonition in their hearts.

What is in the box? What is the relationship between Professor Zhang and this mysterious organization?

All of this remains a mystery.
