Though he was still reeling from the shock, Li Hai couldn't wait to use the Rebellion Bow and look farther down inside the iron chest, at the disc-shaped objects.
Then he saw that the surfaces of several discs below were clearly labeled, line by line and column by column—
...Dead Realm Ecosystem... Survey and Research...
Remember the first-posting website domain??????????.??????
<Dead Realm Planning Bureau, Sixth... Major Defense Project... Proposal>
<Dissection... Records of Higher Dead Realm Residents>
<Investigation and Research... into the Ruins of Ancient Dead Realm Civilizations>
"What are these things?!"
Li Hai was even more baffled. "What is the Dead Realm? Is it a place? The underworld? Hell? The Yellow Springs?
"Th-this planning bureau in the underworld—what would it even plan? Is the Wuxian Federation really that powerful?!
"And what are these higher Dead Realm residents? Ancient Dead Realm civilizations... there are civilizations in the underworld, too? And ruins? That major defense project... could it have been built to defend against them?"
Great. As if it weren't enough that this world had a whole bunch of prehistoric civilizations, now there was this Dead Realm, which sounded downright bizarre.
Still bewildered, Li Hai instinctively looked beneath the discs, at the ones buried even deeper.
He saw that these were clearly labeled—
<Third High-Level Meeting... with the Main Civilization of Interface No. 4... Detailed Discussion Record...>
<...Ninth Exploration of Ruins No. 437 on Interface No. 6...>
<...Interface 3 Colony Administration Bureau... Suppression of Natives...>
<...Multi-Interface... Strategic Alliance... Communication Meeting... Records>
"Wonderful, wonderful. You're done beating up the underworld, and now the Wuxian Federation's off fighting other interfaces? And what exactly is an interface, anyway? Another plane? Another dimension? Another space-time? A parallel universe?"
The information had nearly made "baffled" appear on Li Hai's forehead. Scratching his head, he looked utterly confused.
