A Wolfish Disciple

Countless inhabitants of the underwater world gazed up at the figure of that boy.

Their bodies were naked, as if they had returned to a most primitive state, but their minds were free of any impure thoughts, as if they had returned to a pure and primal state.

The vast majority of the remaining inhabitants were born of the sea, lived by the sea, and in their hearts, the sea gave them everything.

Now, having somehow learned the truth, they have met the creator of this vast ocean.

Qin Yiguan's [Box Syndrome] exerted Infinity +1 suppression on them, preventing them from having any other thoughts. They were filled with nothing but awe, Infinity awe.

"You can continue living here."

Qin Yiguan's calm voice resonated in everyone's ears.

He was furious, and so were the Plunderer, but when Du An died, the stormy clouds in their hearts dissipated.

Qin Yiguan was observing these people from a detached perspective.

Now, his state of mind has also Infinity +1, making him even more different from ordinary people.

Looking at the countless residents, it was more like looking at the masses of ordinary people without distinction, without sorrow or joy, and he did not want to take out his hatred for Du An on them.

Qin Yiguan looked up, and the half-disappeared seawater began to recover. Countless marine creatures that had turned into powder also began to slowly coalesce, and the ocean returned to its original ecological state.

For Qin Yiguan and headwear, this was not a creation.

The previous seawater evaporation was an imitation of his.

The current restoration of the seawater is also an imitation of his work.

The residents clearly realized that the power of the Tuomen Acuminate Fungus in their bodies was gradually weakening, and from now on, they would have to rely on themselves.

then.

These residents seemed to have forgotten about the existence of Lord Du An, and also forgotten the previous battle. They each went to their own city and disappeared into the depths of the ocean.

Shitian retrieved the Whole Buddha and stood quietly to the side.

Qin Yiguan looked at the machine marked with 'L'. If all of this hadn't happened in the Box World, this inconspicuous machine would have 'annihilated his soul'.

He squinted slightly.

The fact that this thing can control itself means that its creator has studied it in depth. And the fact that it is now in Du An's hands means that the creator of this machine is related to Du An. If these two conditions are combined, there is only one answer.

This 'L' stands for a member of the Ring Research Institute.

In that instant, the God's Abandoned projected a complex design blueprint in front of Qin Yiguan.

The Brain Hyperactivity Zone A09 [HSP Hypersensitivity] instantly recognized the design blueprint, made a complete understanding, and engraved every detail in Qin Yiguan's mind.

Then the "Higher Self" Plunderer activated, creating a replica of the machine out of thin air.

This mechanical machine tool, originally designed by the ' Breath of the Mute ' manufacturing plant, has multiple sophisticated robotic arms. In a moment, it disassembled the 'L' machine into pieces of various sizes, which were then picked up by the robotic arms and suspended in the air.

God's Abandoned said, "It's an ordinary power supply device, an ordinary signal transmitter, but the crucial part is something I can't understand. It's a small metal cube, seemingly sealing something inside, but when I opened it, there was only a slight energy fluctuation; the inside was empty."

Qin Yiguan frowned slightly.

If even the God's Abandoned can't understand it, then it means that this machine doesn't use conventional technology, much less conventional scientific principles.

"My real name is Ying Jiang."

But then the old Daoist priest in blue robes, his beard billowing, slowly approached and said in a drawn-out tone, "I really am a scientist from the Gemini Group."

Qin Yiguan slowly turned around.

The old Daoist priest recalled, "Fifty years ago, I took in two students, both of whom were exceptionally talented. Through my introduction, they both joined the Gemini Group to participate in the research and development of the Gemini Metaverse, and both became key members of the Gemini Group."

As he spoke, he turned back to look at Qin Yiguan, "One of them Lu Zhoulang."

"Lu?"

Qin Yiguan glanced at the machine. "He's the one with the 'L'."

"Um."

The old Daoist nodded. "This Xiao Lu isn't as humble and kind as he appears. After spending some time with him, I've discovered that he lives up to his name; he's got a wolf's nature to his core."

"He studied under me for six years, then grew tired of spending all his time with code, left Gemini and entered the workforce. I heard he was hired by a mysterious research institute."

"Later he told me that everything there suited his personality perfectly."

Qin Yiguan's eyes flickered. "The name of that mysterious research institute... it couldn't be ' Ring Research Institute,' could it?"

"I'm not really sure about that."

The old Daoist shook his head. "What I know is that in the era before the Gemini Metaverse was fully mature, this kid used a kind of code weapon to shake the foundation of the Gemini Metaverse... a staggering 17 times!"

"Perhaps he doesn't like this Metaverse era."

"Or perhaps, challenging the impossible is a trait ingrained in his character."

"During that period, he also kidnapped more than a dozen of Gemini's core scientists, subjected them to severe torture, and eventually dissected them to observe their brains."

"Xiao Lu, he's practically gone mad."

"He wants to... destroy the Gemini Metaverse."

Qin Yiguan asked coldly, "Does he have that kind of ability?"

"Have."

Ying Dang recalled, "One day 46 years ago, he appeared in Metaverse 1.0, which is the early version of the current world. Although it was not as perfect and widespread as it is today, there were still nearly 120 million users sleeping in the Metaverse."

He was standing inside the virtual tower of the Gemini Group.

"He laughed wildly, saying that not only could he appear and disappear without a trace, but with just one line of code, he could cause millions of corpses to fall in this Gemini Metaverse."

"I know him. I can tell from his eyes that he's not exaggerating."

Qin Yiguan frowned slightly. "And then?"

"And then..."

The old Daoist's eyes flickered. "The Gemini Superbrain have remained hidden, watching the Metaverse like God and never interfering in 'human' affairs, have made their move."

"The Lu Zhoulang had 70% of its brain nerves burned away in an instant, and it fled in panic."

"If a normal person were in this situation, even if they didn't die, they would be brain dead."

But the Lu Zhoulang didn't.

"He only has some physical movements, and can no longer move like a normal person."

"But he can still think."

"He always treated me like a teacher and told me a lot about what happened afterward."

"After that, he dared not enter the Metaverse again and returned to the mysterious research institute in the real world to continue his work. And 34 years later, he encountered a special life form. Through the study of this life form's brain, he discovered the flaws in the Gemini Superbrain."

"Now, he has used that vulnerability to return to the Metaverse."

"They've invited me more than once."

At this moment, Qin Yiguan gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "It seems that the so-called 'special life form' is most likely me!"
