Where were they now?Content provided by .

Peter Pan kept repeating the question, like some ancient computer that wouldn't stop restarting.

His mind was spiraling into chaos.

Jiang Ning reached out and patted him on the shoulder. "Senior! Senior!"

Peter Pan finally stopped talking. Clarity gradually returned to his eyes.

"What happened just now?"

"You got into a strange state of mind," said Jiang Ning.

He had no idea what Peter Pan had gone through and why that coffin was so special to the old man.

Peter Pan wasn't doing very well right now. His memory appeared to be fragmented.

In fact, some of his memories appeared to be jumbled up. Everything must seem so confusing. It was vital that he rested right now. Everything else could wait until he had recovered fully.

"You should rest right now. You can try and regain the rest of your memories after you're recovered." Jiang Ning eyed Peter Pan.

Surprisingly, the old man did not protest. He nodded and went back to bed. His eyes were still slightly glazed and he still looked a little lost.

It was clear that he had suffered quite a blow.

Even though nothing had turned up in the medical examination, but it was obvious that Peter Pan was an entity that defied conventional wisdom and contemporary scientific understanding.

If Jiang Ning was right, Peter Pan and Mr Lang did not belong to their time.

In fact, he had an idea which era they had come from.

If he were right, then Peter Pan would be ancient. It would have been in his right to

call a sixty-year-old man a kid.

There were some people from the same era that lived to the present day. There were ordinary folks with lifespans that exceeded a hundred years, after all. But no would not be able to discern from Peter Pan's or Mr Lang's physical appearance and mental state that they were men who were more than a hundred years old.

In fact, they appeared as strong as someone in their middle age.

Jiang Ning walked out of the room and shut the door behind him. A few medical specialists were waiting outside for him with the results of their examination.

"Tell me what you found out."

"Mr Jiang, the elderly gentleman's physiology is incredibly bizarre."

These were top-notched specialists who had brought the most advanced medical equipment along with them so that they could run a medical examination on Peter Pan.

"His cells are extremely active and

resemble the cells of a middle-aged man," one of them said. "Basically, even though his actual age may exceed a hundred years old, but his biological age is probably between thirty to forty years old.

no

Physiologically speaking, he's still in his prime. I've never seen anyone like this before."

The other specialists nodded.

This was clearly something that warranted further research. But they dared not voice that thought out loud when Jiang Ning himself had remained silent on the matter. "So, you're saying that we know for certain that he's more than a hundred years old, but his physical body is that of a middle-aged man."

"That's right. You can say that. This

is the conclusion that we've

gathered from the data that we

ет

have. We do not have an explanation

for the cause of such a

phenomenon. At least, we don't have

one at the moment."

Jiang Ning contemplated those words carefully before nodding. "Alright. Thanks for your hard work. You must keep this a secret so that there's no unnecessary panic." "Yes, sir!"

Jiang Ning had given the word. They would guard this secret with their life and ensure that no one else found out.

Jiang Ning stood there with a strange look on his face. He had mixed feelings about this.

To have someone like Mr Lang and Peter Pan appear right now wasn't exactly good news. Their arrival was a clear sign of something.

It meant that there were others as powerful as them from the same era that had survived.

But where were they?

Peter Pan's memory was impaired. He couldn't remember many things and most of his memories were jumbled up. Trying to recover his memories was going to be a feat. What about Mr Lang?

What did he want? Why had he forced Peter Pan into a corner? In fact, what had he forced Peter Pan into?

Everything remained a mystery.

Jiang Ning kneaded his forehead.

"Should we speak to Professor Lu Jing?" Huang Yuming, who had been standing in a corner quietly, finally spoke when he saw Jiang Ning rubbing his forehead. "He might have something new to share with us."

Lu Jing had revealed the secret

hidden in the Extreme Fist

Technique Manual to Jiang Ning the

last time they had spoken. He had

told Jiang Ning that it was a map for a different dimension. It was information that was surpassed conventional knowledge
