After reading the email content, Feng Qi's heart was restless for a long time.

The truth was far more brutal than he had imagined.

He had initially thought that the Scarlet Institute might be conducting a series of cruel experiments, even using living people as test subjects, and was a very evil research organization.

But in terms of stance, he had never doubted the Scarlet Institute.

Although he did not agree with their inhumane scientific research practices, he felt that the Scarlet Institute's purpose in conducting this series of research was still for the development of humanity and to achieve final victory in the fight against Domain Creatures.

But at this moment, he found that the truth was far from as simple as he had imagined.

The email left by the Future revealed a lot of information, the most important of which was.

The Scarlet Institute was very likely controlled by a Domain Transcendence creature and was carrying out a plan to assassinate human geniuses.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why every time he entered the Future dream, it was a scene of the end of the world.

When there were internal enemies inside, the development of human civilization was like a tree with rotten roots; no matter how much it grew upwards, the final result would be collapse.

Moreover, the Scarlet Institute was a very influential research organization with many privileges, and could even carry out the forbidden Rune Modifier plan. Its influence on human development was undoubtedly huge.

Under the catalysis of time, this influence would be like a poison, continuously spreading and expanding with the progress of history, silently making human civilization terminally ill, and finally ushering in the end of the world.

If the truth was indeed like this, he suddenly understood why the cultivation methods rated three stars or above in the database were kept secret instead of being fully shared.

Perhaps the Scarlet Institute was also involved in the creation of the Star City Database, and they did not want humanity to develop quickly, so there were a series of permission restrictions.

Of course, whether this was the specific reason, he had no way of knowing, it was just a guess.

But the possibility of the Scarlet Institute being infiltrated by Domain Creatures was almost a certainty.

Thinking of this, Feng Qi made a decision.

He must find a way to destroy the Scarlet Institute and completely remove this poison from the development process of human civilization.

But how to do this, he couldn't think of a way for the time being.

What else can you do? Find a way to make this damn organization go bankrupt!

"Narrator, do you have any ideas?" Hearing the Narrator's voice, Feng Qi immediately asked.

When in doubt, call the Narrator: Narrator, do you know what to do? Yuanfang, what do you think of this matter? What do I think? I'm just a heartless prompt robot... But perhaps you can continue to look through the email messages to find the answer!

Feng Qi: ...

In terms of messing with his mindset, the Narrator would never disappoint him.

But after complaining, the Narrator still pointed him in a direction.

So Feng Qi clicked on the email again and reread "his" message.

While reading, one of the messages gave him a hint of inspiration.

"Learn from my lesson. The Scarlet Institute's influence is extremely great. Before you have the ability to contend with the Scarlet Institute, absolutely do not expose your secret, because no one will believe you, they will only think you are crazy."

Feng Qi had actually always had an idea.

Cooperate with the national high-level. He believed that with the support of the country behind him, the benefits of him entering the Future dream would be maximized, and he would no longer have to worry about the problem of not having money to replenish energy.

Even problems like lack of permissions in the database in the future could be easily solved. At that time, when the Star City Database was built, it would also leave him with permission information, ensuring that he could access all the data when he traveled back.

After all, personal effort could not compare with the support of national institutions, so he always believed that cooperating with the country was the most correct and optimal choice.

But now he had changed his mind, because his Future self had already tried to do so, and the result was failure under the multifaceted influence of the Scarlet Institute.

No one was even willing to believe anything he said, and they thought he had a mental problem.

So he chose to listen to the Future's warning and not expose his secret until he had the strength to contend with the Scarlet Institute.

As for how to gain the strength to contend with the Scarlet Institute, he had a few directions in mind while thinking.

Improving his own strength was obviously very important. As long as he was strong enough, even if he was assassinated, he would have the ability to protect himself, and when he was strong enough to a certain extent, he could destroy the entire Scarlet Institute by himself.

But his method of improving his strength was somewhat slow, requiring him to constantly hunt Domain Creatures in the Future dream, and under Little Black's pursuit, the time he stayed in the dream each time was not long.

Unless he could solve the problem of energy replenishment, then he could achieve a great increase in strength every day.

But this problem was not easy to solve now, the cost of death was too expensive.

In addition to improving his own strength, an idea also emerged in his mind.

Could he form a powerful force to fight against the Scarlet Institute?

He immediately thought of Lin Ran, Mu Qing, Wang Jinsheng... With the help of the Future Database, he felt that he could completely recruit the geniuses of the current era and bring them into the organization he created.

This would not only protect them from being assassinated but also allow him to fight against the Scarlet Institute with the help of these geniuses of the current era.

While thinking, the plan for the Future gradually became clear.

He thought of Three Growth Paths that could be carried out simultaneously in reality.

The first one was the growth of his own strength. Every time he entered the dream, he would hunt as many Domain Creatures as possible to ensure that he had the ability to protect himself, or even powerful strength.

The second one was to protect those geniuses of the current era who might be persecuted and secretly establish an organization to fight against the Scarlet Institute, determined to completely eradicate it.

The third one was to continue to copy Cultivation Methods from the Future Database and bring them back to reality, using this Future information to promote human development. After officially entering the academy, he could apply to be an academy teacher and teach what he had learned.

As for other plans, he hadn't thought of them yet.

Looking at the time, he decided to plan the details when he got back. The most important thing now was to use the limited time to find more information.

After all, Little Black was always a headache that couldn't be solved.

Like Life-Reaping Impermanence, it always chased after him, waiting for the right opportunity to take him to see King Yama.

Next, he entered Mu Qing's name into the database.

Clicking search, the relevant content appeared.

[Mu Qing (Leader of the Dawn Rebels)]:

Introduction: Originally a student at Star City Academy, after graduation she joined a Domain Battle Squad and became a warrior. However, during an investigation, she betrayed her team and personally killed the captain. Afterwards, she recruited a large number of Scavengers, established the Human rebel army "Dawn," and restarted the Rune Modifier program, engaging in conflict with Humans.

Her hands are stained with the blood of countless innocents. She led the rebels in massacring several cities, her sins are deep, and she is despised by later generations.

Tags: Rune Modifier, Leader of the Dawn Rebels, Human Traitor

Personality: Cruel, cold-blooded, unscrupulous

Netizen Comments:

Moving with the Wind: he~tui, spitting here, Human traitor, good riddance!

History Enthusiast: I carefully reviewed Mu Qing's historical records and found that a lot of information is classified. However, from the limited information available, I found a point of doubt. Mu Qing's actions after graduation were clearly Normal, and she showed no tendency to hate Humans. Why did she suddenly change like a different person? I think there might be some hidden reason, but the fact that Mu Qing's sins are deep cannot be washed away. Because of her, Human civilization regressed by at least a hundred years.

Feng Qi had already guessed the Future netizens' evaluation of Mu Qing and was not surprised.

But when he read one of the netizen comments, his expression suddenly changed.

Falling Leaves Return to Roots: I looked through the historical records related to Mu Qing, and one piece of historical data left a deep impression on me. At that time, Mu Qing had not yet betrayed Humanity, and her best friend, Feng Qi, was on the verge of a mental breakdown, talking nonsense all day and saying irrelevant things.

Facing the outside world's accusations against Feng Qi, Mu Qing, who was already a well-known Domain Battle Squad captain at the time, said something to the drunken Feng Qi at a return-to-school party:

"When I was ostracized, you stood by me, so when the world accuses you, I am also willing to believe everything you say and stand by you, even if you are dead drunk and reeking."

Seeing this, I couldn't help but wonder, if Feng Qi were still alive at that time, would Mu Qing still have betrayed all of Humanity?

Or perhaps, Mu Qing's betrayal of Humanity is related to Feng Qi being questioned by the world and his eventual unknown cause of death.
