Deeper Investigation

"Lu Zun killed a doctor who could 'stitch' Leviathan together."

Qin Yiguan's eyes flickered. "Do you think he might have found a Leviathan?"

"Possibly."

Jiaolong recalled, "There was a hint in the letter my father left me that was related to this."

"Um?"

Qin Yiguan was taken aback. The father Jiaolong mentioned must be Jiao Shensan, right?

The letters he left behind reveal another layer of meaning by reading the even-numbered lines—this is already a form of encryption, so how could there be any further hints?

Qin Yiguan thought carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

That's the line!

"Everyone will be killed."

"The Metaverse is vast and boundless; B5 and B6 alone have a population of 60 million."

"I want you to stop them."

"That's their territory, after all, B6 Sector."

"It's like an abyss, ready to collapse at any moment."

Qin Yiguan subconsciously repeated the phrase, "It's like an abyss, about to collapse at any moment... I really didn't expect that there would be a hidden implication within an implication. Could this mean... a multiverse rift will appear, causing B5 and B6 to collapse? 60 million people will die!"

At that moment, Jiaolong suddenly turned her head and looked at Qin Yiguan with a flickering expression.

Qin Yiguan was deep in thought, but he hadn't yet realized a problem: the moment he uttered those words, it was confirmed that he was the one who brought wildflowers to commemorate Jiao Shensan.

At this moment, Qin Yiguan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Doctor Jiao, you knew about Lu Zun's conspiracy so early?"

Jiaolong said, "Some time ago, Father kept encountering a strange phenomenon. Some of his own memories from the Future would suddenly appear in his mind. Presumably, he saw some truth in them."

"Um?"

Qin Yiguan knew the whole story. The memories of ' Seven Deadly Sins Jiao Shensan ' would continuously converge from the younger generation into the minds of the older generation. Those memories were actually their experiences when they were 'young'!

Jiao Shensan's true form also received memories from the Future?

The boy then thought of Jiao Shensan's message, which included the line, "Recently, all sorts of memories have been flooding my mind."

Who gave him this memory?

Could it be that there is another young Jiao Shensan who was involved in Lu Zun's plan?

Impossible!

Lu Zun's plan has not yet been implemented!

How could someone have experienced this?

Qin Yiguan was lost in thought.

I can't figure it out!

"I have no idea what Lu Zun is doing."

Jiaolong frowned and said, "I've tried to find out everything, but I haven't gotten a single piece of information. I even interrogated Lu Zun's confidants, but they were all expressionless and couldn't say a word. It's as if no one in the entire Metaverse knows what Lu Zun is doing, and I can't even find the location of Lu Zun's true body!"

Qin Yiguan pondered, "Lu Zun is extremely cunning. He can prepare for his plans 30 years in advance. Judging from his personality, everything he does has an unknown motive behind it."

Qin Yiguan turned around and looked in the direction of Mirage City. "Some time ago, he suddenly made a big move, establishing many memory archives within the Core Earth. My original plan was to investigate those archives after confirming Leviathan's existence from you!"

Jiaolong suddenly turned around, "There are too many humans in those places, it's inconvenient for me to go, so I'll leave it to you."

In that instant.

On her Jiaolong neck, it seemed as if a twisting black tattoo was spreading out.

Qin Yiguan was slightly taken aback, but still nodded emphatically.

The core of the Metaverse, Core Earth, 1000 meters west of 053 High School, Memory Archives.

At this moment, Qin Yiguan, wearing a virtual reality headset, logged in as a normal person and quietly approached the location.

It was already 8 p. m., and the 053 High School was deserted.

The same applies to memory archives.

This place is open to the public free of charge, so there are no secrets here, and therefore not much security at night.

Qin Yiguan approached the gate, hid in the bushes, and observed carefully for a while.

They quickly located the blind spot in the surveillance system.

"Luckily, this area isn't completely finished yet, otherwise it would definitely leave traces!"

He climbed over the wall and entered through a ventilation window into the archive's main hall.

Although the museum is closed, basic lighting is still on.

He walked slowly along the rows of display cases.

Everywhere you look is clean, tidy, and technologically advanced.

No abnormalities have been found so far.

Although he knew in his heart that this trip was to investigate Lu Zun's conspiracy.

But Qin Yiguan, unaware of his surroundings, arrived at the display case labeled ' Qin Shenhu, ' and stared blankly at the photo of the middle-aged man.

"Cough cough..."

Two soft coughs startled Qin Yiguan.

He looked back and saw an old man standing in the wide open space in the center of the hall in the distance. He was very old, with white hair and age spots on his face and the back of his hands.

He leaned on a cane, smiling as he looked at me. "I say, young man, climbing over the wall isn't a good idea."

Qin Yiguan was slightly taken aback.

Night Watchman?

No, she's too old!

But the old man chuckled and said, "Young man, don't be nervous. I am Zhong Yi, the inventor of this 'memory storage' technology. It's late at night, and I can't sleep, so I came to see my creation."

The old man looked up. "Young man, what brings you here?"

Qin Yiguan hesitated slightly.

But the old man smiled again and said, "I believe you have no ill intentions. The hardware here is worthless; the only valuable thing is the knowledge and memories. Moreover, these memory files were collected for the students. You... are a student of 053, right?"

"Hehe."

"Can't wait to examine these memories?"

"I can understand; a thirst for knowledge is commendable."

Qin Yiguan pursed his lips, then suddenly smiled, "It's true that the old gentleman discovered it; your invention has truly benefited us students."

"You... you..."

The old man, leaning on his cane, said, "Then I'll grant you a special privilege: you can stay here for a while. But I must warn you, because the equipment isn't fully developed yet, these memories cannot be read."

As he spoke.

The old man shook his head, turned around shakily, and suddenly said, "Oh, right, when you leave later, just use the main entrance. Also, tell that little fat boy he can use the main entrance too."

"Little Fatty?"

Qin Yiguan watched the old man leave, a puzzled thought in his mind, "Was there someone else? Did they sneak in?"

Deep within the archives of memories.

A chubby little boy with rosy cheeks was crouching behind the display case, acting suspiciously.

"Well..."

My best buddy Qin Yiguan... is dead.

"I'm really sad, I have no appetite, and I'm depressed."

The chubby boy's eyes welled up with tears, and he rubbed them. "But I believe that this file definitely contains the memories of former e-sports player Feiluo, and it's even possible that it contains the memories of Kefei, Lima, and a few others!"

I need to cheer myself up!

The chubby boy clenched his fist, staring at the black metal door on the ground ahead. "I told you there was an underground area, and I found the entrance!"

"Well..."

"The original plan was to Qin Yiguan work with me on this."

"Pity..."

The chubby boy looked up and said, "Yiguan, you can watch over me from heaven. I hope you can share my joy through my smiling face!"

In that instant.

Qin Yiguan's face appeared in the chubby boy's view. "Clam, what are you doing here?!"

"Hehe."

"Yiguan, Your attire."

The Taotie Clam laughed happily, then snapped and slapped itself away with a 'crack'.
