Chapter 220

Li Pu is indeed very mysterious.

At least that's what the investigation into him suggests.

However, there is no consensus on how he became different people. Otto's conclusion, according to Schicksal, is that Li Pu could become his past life.

Awakening his past life allows him to transform into different characters, possessing different powers and combat skills.

This is the awakening of the soul.

The reason for this conclusion is that Otto himself had a deep understanding of the soul, and he had also conducted preliminary tests and guidance on the awakening of the soul.

These actions and observations led Otto to this conclusion.

This conclusion is only generally accepted within the Schicksal.

Besides the conclusion given by Schicksal, there are some other conclusions.

The Celestial Empire offered a different conclusion: that Li Pu was a person from the previous era, who had been asleep in the shelter's sleep pod until three years ago.

This conclusion is based on the people who appeared in the past.

Survivors from the previous era are very rare.

Most of the sleep pods did not live to see the day they were reopened.

However, some of the sleep pods were reopened, not all at the same time. They were opened one by one at different times within this era. These individuals were generally quite famous.

They also have something in common: none of them have a clearly recorded past.

In the past, when technology and information were less developed, explanations for these people tended to be supernatural or mystical. Now, with the advancement of technology and understanding...

Modern people have finally discovered that these people are neither divine beings nor supernatural beings.

They are people from the previous era.

Li Pu fits these descriptions perfectly.

As for Li Pu's true identity, that is, the role he played in the previous era, according to the Celestial Empire's own speculation, he was the most frequently seen and strongest researcher of the previous era.

MEI!

Because her origins are mysterious, like those of people from the previous era, she didn't go to the past; she appeared directly in this era. She possesses extremely high medical skills and extensive knowledge.

Knowing secrets that others don't.

Based on all this, they concluded that Li Pu was from the previous era and his true identity was MEI.

The technological giants of that era.

This is also why they made up their minds.

Now it all depends on whether their deductions are accurate, and on how Li Pu will deal with this Demon in the Box.

Li Pu sat in the car.

After the sealed core was found, it didn't stay in Changkong City. After all, its power was no less than that of a Tsar Bomba, but its size was much smaller.

Humans both fear and yearn for that kind of powerful force.

There is a faction within the Celestial Empire that believes it is unnecessary to destroy it directly.

It could be kept as a weapon of mass destruction.

This thing looks much better than a nuclear bomb.

These people exist, but they can't become the mainstream. While such opinions may not be mainstream in China, it's a different story abroad. There will always be certain countries that will try to seize this opportunity.

So it all started the moment the core was found.

The core was quickly moved into the mountains.

This is to ensure that casualties are minimized in the event of a leak, and also to prevent sabotage and looting by enemy agents.

This place has three floors on top of three, and it's underground. You could say it's the kind of place where even a mouse would have to scratch its claws if it crawled out.

Of course, this is in a realistic sense, not the kind where you say this place is impregnable, but then someone comes along, rat-a-tat-tat, and with a flurry of activity, they manage to sweep you in and out seven times.

Let's not talk about the defense system now.

Li Pu is finally about to meet the core.

Behind a thick, purely mechanical iron door.

It's a purely mechanical structure, without any electronic devices. There are no electronic devices inside either, because Li Pu previously stated that this thing could infect electronic devices.

Therefore, no electronic devices are installed here.

"This is the darkroom," Redhead said seriously. "We've done everything we could."

"The rest is up to you."

The Celestial Empire has done everything it could to address this special type of Herrscher.

"How do I contact them?" Li Pu asked, "If I succeed."

"We have our own ways of dealing with this," the Redhead said. "We do have some methods for detecting Honkai. You should know that Honkai has a very strong penetrating ability."

"We still have the means to detect this thing, so we can detect the abnormal Honkai index inside."

"If Honkai occurs, you have failed."

"Eh..." Li Pu said with a twitch in his mouth, "What if something abnormal happens when we go in? Or is it just a normal phenomenon that the Honkai Index is abnormal?"

"Haven't you considered this possibility?"

"Don't ask me that," Redhead said with a shrug. "Besides, if you really were ever a member of our army."

"Then you should know that there isn't just one set of contingency plans for this kind of thing."

"Huh? You know?" Li Pu asked, seeing the Redhead's expression.

"Of course, Grandpa Li and his comrades asked about you, but the higher-ups just gave you a vague answer." Redhead picked his nose and said, "Old bumpkins in the army are indeed easy to fool."

"Hey!" Li Pu immediately became unhappy upon hearing this and said, "Aren't you going a bit too far?"

"The army may be a bit outdated, but isn't that because you guys are so aggressively competing for funding?!"

Li Pu wasn't quite clear on the relationship between the army, navy, and air force in this world. However, based on what Grandpa Li and he knew about the history of the Chinese military in this world...

The Celestial Empire is much the same as in the previous life.

The Army, the elder brother of the Army, has a long history and outstanding military achievements. The Navy and Air Force were both separated from the Army, and the Air Force may be in a slightly better position.

But the navy fared much worse; for a time, it was even jokingly referred to as the army's naval force.

This has caused the Navy to harbor some resentment towards the Army.

It won't be like Area 11, but neither the Navy nor the Army is easy to deal with. The Navy has always harbored resentment over the past "Army Naval Force," and the Navy's grabbing of military funding in recent years has also caused resentment within the Army.

After all, seeing that the brother units have new planes and new warships.

He only had one pair of new military boots.

The army can't be happy about this either. Even if we want to show good sportsmanship, we can't do it like this! The army also wants new tanks, new guns, and new uniforms!

Moreover, the Second Artillery Corps and the WJ have now been added.

This made matters worse for the already tight budget.

"You're really in the army?" Redhead seemed a little surprised, but he was just saying it casually. Of course, this was also a deliberate test to see what Li Pu really thought.

He observed Li Pu's gaze; it didn't seem like he was faking it.

It really felt like I was speaking from the Army's perspective and was very dissatisfied with what he said.

So this guy really is in the army?

No way, that's impossible! We can't find any information about this guy from three years ago, how could we possibly find his military service record?!

"Yes," Li Pu said proudly, "Let me put it this way, actually neither you nor Otto are correct in their guesses about me."

"I am not only not a MEI, but I am also a proper Chinese citizen."

"Of course, I was once a member of the Chinese army."

"Let me put it this way," Li Pu said, putting his arm around the Redhead's shoulder with great force, "Although one of us is in the army and the other in the navy, I admit that the navy is indeed more important now. When you guys were scrambling for funding, you didn't even think about leaving a little for the army, our big brother."

"But shouldn't you show some respect to the veterans of the army?"

Or rather...

Li Pu clenched his fist and said, "Are you planning to make me teach you, a mere sailor in the navy, what 'respect' really means?"

'Ah... so everyone guessed wrong?' Redhead felt even more uncertain.

This doesn't look like something that was deliberately staged.

So who exactly is this guy?

'What a strange person.'

In the Sea of Quanta, Seele naturally observes more things than others. Although the Sea of Quanta seems like a very boring place, with no day or night, and seemingly no concept of time.

But the Sea of Quantum has one advantage.

That is, here you can see many things you've never seen before.

For example, only here will you discover that the world you live in is just one aspect, not the whole world; there are many different worlds. Some are similar, and some are completely different.

If Seele could still believe Otto's deductions before...

The appearance of that one character immediately led Seele to refute Otto's deduction.

That doctor!

The Soul of the Underworld!

Otto probably doesn't know, and Kevin won't know either. Only Seele knows, because for her, the greatest pleasure here is poking Mr. Kevin... ah, no, observing the World Bubble.

The world is different.

Some worlds do not Honkai but have other strange power systems.

For example, in some strange world, a hedgehog has the power to eliminate all things unscientific. Seele also wondered what it would be like if that hedgehog were in her world.

So, could he eliminate the Honkai?

But this is just a thought.

It's obvious that he can't enter his own world.

That is, there's a doctor with the same spiky hair, and he's alive and well. He's not dead, nothing happened, and he's just as skilled! But Seele doesn't believe that the same person could appear in her world.

Even their titles are exactly the same.

So when this Soul of the Underworld appeared, Seele was keenly aware of it.

Many of the previous guesses were wrong!

It's not a reincarnation at all!

No matter who he transforms into, he should still essentially be that boy named Li Pu.

But who exactly is he?

Why does she possess this strange power? What is her purpose?

She...

'Hmm...' Seele said to herself, arms crossed, 'If we could find a way to get her into the Sea of Quantum.'

"It might be very interesting."

"Maybe even better than Mr. Kevin."

"More useful."

Chapter 251 Hello Fox

Li Pu entered the darkroom.

The term "darkroom" is just a name; a darkroom is not dark at all, but rather quite bright.
