Actions on Both Sides
News broke that day about the Starshine Grand Barrier Plan and the resurrection of Rakhzaro. Various speculations also emerged, such as some saying that the Holy Radiance Society dissatisfied with Lu Li's act of creating the living algae, which was considered a desecration of life, so they resurrected Rakhzaro to attack Lu Li.
Of course, this conjecture was subsequently attacked by members of the Holy Radiance Society, who said that resurrection was also a blasphemous act, and that as believers in God, they would never do anything blasphemous.
Some speculated that Rakhzaro was resurrected by the Light of Bloodline, since the Light of Bloodline is the most powerful in terms of biotechnology. However, this was later dismissed as nonsense, as the Light of Bloodline studies evolution, not resurrection.
In short, the conjectures can be roughly divided into several categories: first, they are after the top-tier item, the living algae; second, they are after the Starshine Grand Barrier Plan; and third, they believe that those people are colluding with the Gale Society and are seeking revenge on Lu Li because Lu Li thwarted their plans.
Dobekla took Rakhzaro's body that day to investigate, notifying the experts of the Transmigrator Association to use high-tech or occult methods, such as tracking his whereabouts, smell, and cause and effect, to find out where Rakhzaro came from and who resurrected him.
Unfortunately, although some traces were found, all further leads went cold. Lacazaro seemed to suddenly appear not far from the venue, and after waiting for more than ten minutes, he disguised himself as Dobekla and attacked Lu Li.
They detected subtle spatial teleportation fluctuations at that location, but when they traced the traces, they discovered that all those spatial traces had been swept up in an undercurrent and were no longer traceable.
The criminals were cautious and their methods were sophisticated, but what was strange was the timing of their assassination. If they had waited longer, until Dobekla left, the success rate of the assassination would have increased significantly. But they chose this particular moment, which was truly perplexing.
"Maybe the person behind it all just got bored!" Lu Li said nonchalantly. Ever since the incident, Theseus had been trying various methods to find the person behind it, but he hadn't found a single clue. If they ruled out the possibility that the person was so powerful that they could ignore those prophetic spells, then the only possibility was that the person had been hiding in a special place all along.
"The other party has a clear mind, a meticulous plan, and clever methods. How could they be the kind of crazy person who comes to cause trouble just because they're bored?" Jiang Chuan Chun said, shaking his head, clearly not agreeing with Lu Li's statement.
As a member of the Transmigrator Association, due to her good relationship with Lu Li, she was promoted to Special Commissioner for the Transmigrator Association's Black Day Starshine Grand Barrier Plan, or simply Dark Sun Commissioner, responsible for handling issues such as communication and coordination with the Association regarding the barrier project.
"Hehehe! I disagree with that. Being a troublemaker and being a cunning strategist are not mutually exclusive. What's the difference between a person who doesn't cause trouble and Salted Fish?" Shadow B appeared out of nowhere.
"Okay, maybe that's true." Jiang Chuan Chun has met many people and knows for sure that you should never argue with a madman, an incomprehensible creature. The other party will use their broad thinking circuits to drag you down to the same IQ level, and then defeat you with their rich experience.
When you encounter this kind of person, just smile and say they're always right. Then he turned to Lu Li and said, "Your Starshine Grand Barrier Plan has entered the review process, and all the materials you gave me have been submitted. Now all that's missing is a qualified sample to support the feasibility of this project."
"Yes, I'll have the sample ready in a few days. I hope you'll submit it then," Lu Li nodded and said.
After seeing Jiang Chuan Chun off, Lu Li called Theseus again. Aurora answered the phone again. The vampire sleeping beauty was still as languid as Aurora, but Lu Li could still hear the man's heavy breathing.
"What? I'm working. Thanks to my efforts, the refugees in the city have been complaining less about Theseus lately," Aurora said casually with a yawn. As for what her job actually was, Lu Li could already imagine.
"So it seems Theseus can't break down?" Lu Li asked, frowning. "Something's not quite right. The force behind this might not actually be trying to force Theseus down, but rather using these methods to coerce Theseus into using some means he doesn't want to use."
"What a perceptive young man, wait a minute." Aurora sighed, and then Lu Li heard a man's shout, followed by Aurora's next shout. Aurora then picked up the communicator and continued, "That's right, after studying the Blood Calamity Virus, we discovered that the facts are just as you said. The other side is forcing us to use parts of the Mad Star Dragon."
"The Mad Star Dragon?" Lu Li said, his eyes flashing. "The Bloodworm' extraordinary vitality seems a bit strange. If I'm not mistaken, the Blood Calamity Virus should also be related to the Mad Star Dragon."
"That's right." Aurora rolled over and said, "According to research, it was created using another part of the Mad Star Dragon. Because of the Mad Star Dragon's domineering nature, none of the vaccines we researched were effective."
"The only way is to develop a vaccine using something of the same level." Lu Li understood their purpose. "They intend to force Theseus to use the Mad Star Dragon parts he has collected for vaccine development. Is there anything special about the Mad Star Dragon parts that Theseus has collected?"
"Well, the Mad Star Dragon's structure is quite different from that of known life forms. When we first divided it into its current indivisible parts, we couldn't determine the specific effects of these parts. But after years of research, we've obtained what we think is its brain."
"What was Theseus's reaction?" Lu Li nodded and asked, "Would it be better for me to die than for my friend?"
"Of course, everything is selfish, even if it seems selfless, it's actually just enjoying the selfishness of selflessness," Aurora said with a chuckle.
"So it seems we might be facing a Type IV Star Calamity soon?" Lu Li narrowed his eyes, sensing something was amiss, and said, "Tell Theseus's people to be careful. Their target might be the Mad Star Dragon parts, but that might only be one of their objectives."
"I understand. Theseus is not someone to be trifled with either. He's already slowly starting to make his move. After suffering such a great loss, he'll have to get his revenge." Aurora said with a coquettish laugh, and then said that she was going to hang up. Before hanging up, Lu Li heard her lazily call out to the next two.
"Interesting." Thinking of the unknown enemy, Lu Li tapped his fingers on the table. At the same time, the review of the Starshine Grand Barrier was in full swing. Half a month later, the plan received the support of four associations besides the Holy Radiance Society and a few individual investors. It passed the review of the Starshine World Council, and the relevant plan began to be implemented.
Sorry, I probably ate something wrong yesterday and had diarrhea so bad my legs were weak, hence the late update.
