Are Xiao Guang's Parents Really Gone?
However, he didn't need to explain too much, because normal people wouldn't really understand what "Reversal Technique" meant.
"What you up to?"
Eight Thousand Currents of Reversal and Compliance asked this question, looking up at Cong Yu.
"That's what I should be asking... What do you want to do?"
Cong Yu countered with this question, meeting the gaze of the young boy. "The Undead Calamity is very difficult to succeed in modern times."
God the undead Calamity.
Thinking this Eight Thousand Currents of Reversal and Compliance Yachiru realized that the other party wasn't someone difficult to communicate with, so he casually replied, "There are enemies to fight... so there's no need to worry about accumulating strength in this way."
Cong Yu: "..."
He didn't seem to be lying, and Cong Yu, judging from this, couldn't help but sigh... Look, this is quality!
The eccentric people of our old Wind City don't randomly smash or destroy things; they're very particular! That's what makes them genuine!
Authentic, genuine --
Cong Yu nodded and said casually, "I'll assume you're telling the truth, so I won't stop you... What's your name?"
In response to Cong Yu's question, Eight Thousand Currents of Reversal and Compliance naturally wouldn't reveal his name... He chose to protect his code name.
Otherwise, the situation would become the brother-in-law recognizing his sister's husband (laughs).
"0451."
Cong Yu paused, gazing at the other person upon hearing the code name "Eight Thousand Currents of Reversal and Compliance" (顺逆八千流): "So you're 0451... But what's the meaning behind this code name?"
To this, the Eight Thousand Currents of Reversal and Compliance and out argument remains the same—
"In 1994, a video game called 'System Shock' was released, set in 2072."
Cong Yu nodded in agreement with Eight Thousand Currents of Reversal and Compliance's words and continued, "Yes, the world's first 'cyberpunk' game, right? It's about AI and hackers, and 0451 is the first password of this game."
Cong Yu himself had never played System Shock, but because so many games pay homage to it, he set the first password for his game to 0451.
Therefore, many bloggers and similar individuals will try passwords like 0451 when playing the puzzle parts of a game.
Very interesting.
"Oh oh oh!"
Upon hearing this, Eight Thousand Currents of Reversal and Compliance immediately perked up and started discussing it with Cong Yu: "You know this meme too?!"
Judging by the years, this meme should have only recently become popular.
The timeframe is just a little Easter egg within the science fiction game developer circle.
After all, no one realizes that in less than a hundred years, the "cyber" form will truly arrive.
Cong Yu only needs to persevere for another hundred years or so.
"Yes, or rather the opposite... it's somewhat unexpected that you would use this as your code name."
Cong Yu said it so simply.
However, Eight Thousand Currents of Reversal and Compliance was much more enthusiastic. He took off his hood, revealing his youthful face. "Are you also a fan of science fiction novels like cyberpunk, dystopia, and the omnipotent revolution?"
What are some of the more famous cyberpunk works from this era?
Cong Yu couldn't quite remember, but Cyberpunk 2077 shouldn't have been released yet, right? Hmm... indeed it hasn't.
Even if there were, they'd be cyberpunk magical girls.
However, the more famous ones are still those mentioned, such as Cong Yu.
"I have read some novels and watched some movies... like <I, the Machine>, Neuromancer, and <Does a Bionic Magical Girl Dream of an Electric Sheep?>."
Upon hearing Cong Yu's reply, Eight Thousand Currents of Reversal and Compliance's eyes lit up. "Oh! Oh! Oh!!"
I feel like I've already come to regard Cong Yu as a close friend.
"I've never seen <Does a Magical Girl Dream of an Electric Sheep?>, I've only seen the remake <Blade Runner>."
Cong Yu, unsure why things had developed this way, simply replied casually to the incredibly enthusiastic Eight Thousand Currents of Reversal and Compliance, "Well, <Blade Runner> is indeed a classic... but there's no need to necessarily read the original."
However, strictly speaking...
Cong Yu is not actually a "dystopian" enthusiast, but rather a "near-utopian resident".
"That..."
Before Eight Thousand Currents of Reversal and Compliance could even begin to say anything, Cong Yu took out her phone. "Let's add Linx... we can talk later."
Since the other person likes science fiction so much, they shouldn't be some kind of weirdo who doesn't even have a cell phone or a Linx.
"Okay, okay!"
As the boy responded cheerfully, Cong Yu continued, "Also, my main purpose in contacting you is to retrieve the parents and ancestors of some of my friends from among your deceased relatives... Is that alright?"
"..."
"No problem, no problem!"
Having finally found a kindred spirit among the Eight Thousand Currents of Reversal and Compliance, he excitedly patted his chest. "Don't even mention a few, you could easily have hundreds!"
Great, today is another day of peaceful resolution.
Chapter 304 Are Little Guang's Parents Dead?
[Cong Yu: Is Xiao Cui asleep? Xiao Cui?]
[Katsuki Ruri: No... What's wrong with Cong Yu- nii?]
[Cong Yu: I've found the ancestors of the Kagetsuru Family. Shall we bury them again?]
Although Xiao Cui felt that Cong Yu's brother had omitted a lot of parts in his speech, Xiao Cui still understood it quickly.
It's raised...
Xiao Cui originally intended to type it this way, but after thinking about it carefully... her feud with the Kagetsuru Family actually only extends to this generation.
The only people she dislikes in the Kagetsuru Family are her adoptive parents and stepbrother, who want to exploit her for profit.
The former has already been arrested and imprisoned for working on sewing machines; the amount involved is huge, and he may be stuck there for a very long time.
Meanwhile, the sworn brother, who acted like a sycophant at school, became enraged and turned into a monster, only to be killed on the spot by Miyamoto Kayoko sister.
The ancestors of the Kagetsuru Family did nothing wrong...
Forget it, there's no need to be so extreme in life.
Thinking this through, Xiao Cui, whose values were fairly sound in some respects, typed a reply on her phone with a very clear mind.
[Katsuki Ruri: Bury it.]
[Cong Yu: Okay, go to bed early--]
[Katsuki Ruri: Good--]

"Moshi Moshi, is this the agent?"
When Cong Yu called, his manager, who was getting ready for bed, replied, "Yes, Cong Yu- kun, what's up?"
This was the first time Cong Yu had called him since they exchanged contact information. Had something happened to Yaochuan?!
Cong Yu: "Oh, it's nothing serious, just asking your name. Were your parents also dug up?"
"..." What's going on? That strange tomb raider has been found?
"Um, my surname is Yoshino... and only my mother is buried in the Wind City Grand Cemetery; my father died in the Central City."
Before the agent could ask any further questions, Cong Yu had already given the message: "Okay, I understand... Your mother has gone back to bed."
"..."
What's going on?!
It sounds strange, but they really did catch that weird tomb raider, right? Why not just let everyone go back to their own tombs?
The agent was thinking this, but before he could ask...
"Also, were Yaochuan Guang's parents cremated? They don't seem to have been awakened during this incident... Do you know the details?"
"..."
"I vaguely remember... Yaochuan took some leave at that time, and afterwards I heard he was attacked."
"I was in a coma for a long time in the hospital, and I was even questioned about the specific reasons, but..."
I'm not quite sure about what he said..."
The agent seemed to have no recollection of this. He got up and turned on his computer. "Is it urgent? Do you need me to help you check?"
Cong Yu: "This is troublesome."

[Cong Yu: Are you asleep?]
[Yaochuan Guang: Not yet, what's wrong, Cong Yu- chan?]
[Cong Yu: Your parents are missing.]
[Yaochuan Guang:???]
[Yaochuan Guang: What does "disappeared" mean?]
[Cong Yu: I found the tomb raider. He said he only needed to borrow these corpses for a short time. However, I convinced him that I could bury the deceased people I knew first and not use them... But it seems none of these deceased people knew you.]
[Yaochuan Guang: Huh?!!!]
[Cong Yu: I said, "Miyamoto Kayoko's parents, whose surname is Miyamoto, step forward," and then some people stepped forward.]
[Cong Yu: The agent's mother also went back to sleep at the cemetery, but when I said, "Yaochuan Guang's parents, step forward," there was no reaction.]
[Cong Yu: The strange man who dug up the graves also said that your parents' two graves seemed to have always been empty; there were neither coffins nor urns in the graves.]
What's going on with "???"?
Yaochuan Guang didn't quite understand. She tried hard to recall the events surrounding her parents' deaths... but she couldn't remember much.
She has many memories related to her parents, and also many memories after they died and after she met Lantian Zhu, but...
How did my parents die, and shortly after their death?
Um...
That memory is like a blank screen filled with static, or like a blurry, indistinct screen.
Yaochuan Guang couldn't quite remember.
[Yaochuan Guang: Strange, I can't remember... Maybe that experience was too painful, and my subconscious has blocked it out.]
[Cong Yu: Ah, maybe.]
[Yaochuan Guang: But, Cong Yu- chan, you need to be careful of that grave-digging weirdo. He might attack you while you're sending messages.]
After all, Yaochuan Guang always thought that Cong Yu- chan was very kind-hearted. Such a kind person might suffer if she encountered a treacherous and cunning weirdo.
(The paladin poisoned by Cong Yu: Ah, right, right, right!)
(The samurai who was killed by Cong Yu's scheme: Ah, right, right, right!)
(Nan Tong crew member murdered by Cong Yu: Ah, right, right, right!)
However, there was no response from Cong Yu, and the message did not show as "read".
Oh no! We might have been ambushed!
Thinking this, Yaochuan Guang immediately prepared to transform and then go save her innocent and kind-hearted Cong Yu!
However, before she transforms...
[Cong Yu: I understand. Your agent found out about the accident involving you and your parents... You went to Fusha Village for tourism and were subsequently attacked by Monster.]
[Yaochuan Guang:...]
To be honest, Yaochuan Guang had no recollection of visiting Fusha Village or encountering any accidents.
In fact, she didn't feel sad about her parents' deaths at this moment.
Just like Cong Yu- chan once said that she wanted to become her new father... At that time, she felt the same way, only feeling a little novel.
