The Place Where the Beginning's Secrets Were Recorded (Part One)

"What's wrong?"

Just as Lu Xin was startled by that call, unable to tell whether it was real or not, and whipped around to stare at the Research Institute, Dr. An quietly came to his side and stood shoulder to shoulder with him. She looked toward the buildings in the darkness ahead, took a deep breath, and said:

"This is the legendary Crimson Moon Research Institute."

"It should have been built back in the Pre-Civilization Era. Even I don't know the exact date it was established..."

"All I know is that this Research Institute, which spans the two eras before and after the Crimson Moon incident, is connected to the beginning of everything."

"..."

Lu Xin stood there for a while without telling her about the voice he had just heard.

Because even he couldn't say for sure whether it had really been there.

After a moment of silence, he turned slightly to look at Dr. An and said quietly:

"You're from the current Eclipse Research Institute, and you hold fairly high positions. How is it that you know so little about the former Crimson Moon Research Institute?"

"..."

"Too much happened in between..."

Dr. An gently shook her head and said, "The current Eclipse Research Institute is indeed a continuation of the Crimson Moon Research Institute."

"But we have to admit one thing: the Eclipse Research Institute is far more renowned in our era than the Crimson Moon Research Institute was. Yet when it comes to understanding certain things and possessing many crucial secrets, the two aren't even remotely on the same level."

"Even the researchers themselves..."

She paused slightly and glanced at the three people in the distance, Zhang, Master Li, and Dr. Wang, who had gathered together to split up their compressed biscuits. She shook her head.
