Employee Recruitment
"Just killing an ordinary person."
"It should be about time, right?"
The elderly man, Bo You, sitting upright in the office of the Ring Research Institute, slightly raised his head and looked at the white-coated doctor beside him. "Send Lu Guang back."
A blue light flashed.
Thump.
Lu Guang, covered in blood, fell onto the pristine white ground.
Upon seeing this, the Bo You's expression changed!
At this moment, Lu Guang's condition could only be described as horrific; both arms had been forcibly torn off, blood gushing out, and bone fragments exposed.
A 20-centimeter wound ran from his chest to below his neck, and from that wound, his heart, cut into four pieces, could be clearly seen.
The Bo You immediately stood up and shouted angrily, "Who could have hurt you like this!"
Because of his modifications, Lu Guang possessed remarkable vitality. Although he hadn't yet died, he was utterly exhausted. He struggled to move on the ground, mumbling incoherently, "Dean... Dean... save me... save... me!"
Regarding saving Lu Guang, the Bo You didn't seem anxious. He just frowned and said, "I'll ask you again, who could hurt you like this! You've been modified by my strain; in my knowledge, absolutely no one could hurt you like this! At least in 2119, there's absolutely no such person!"
This elderly Bo You with gray hair has only been concerned with one thing from beginning to end—who can shake the technology in his hands!
Because this is an absolute potential threat!
"It's Mouse Pup..."
Lu Guang coughed up mouthfuls of blood, "It's Qin Yiguan..."
"He?"
The Bo You's eyes widened. "Qin Yiguan in 2119? Impossible! At that time, he was still a useless person who hadn't awakened any abilities! Like a beggar, living in that Rust City!"
"Could it be the Future Qin Yiguan?"
"That's impossible!"
"I know him inside and out. He doesn't have any knowledge of time; he doesn't have that kind of personality!"
The Bo You's eyes twitched violently; he couldn't understand it.
However, judging from the few words left by his Bo You, it seems that he was completely unaware of the existence of the ' Boundless One '.
"It's it..."
"I've seen photos of Mouse Pup..."
Lu Guang, barely breathing, was still wriggling on the ground, struggling to get closer to Bo You's feet. "He had silver skin, eyes like date pits, with a silvery light... and sharp teeth... and horns..."
"What?!"
The old Bo You showed a hint of doubt, "Fangs... horns? Lu Guang, are you confused because of blood loss? How could Qin Yiguan grow these things? That's not Qin Yiguan at all!"
The Ring Research Institute had already taken off by then.
As Song Miao said, it cannot land in the same time period in a short period of time; it requires more than 3 years to cool down.
Therefore, at this point, Bo You are unable to verify what Lu Guang said and can only continue to speculate and ponder.
This timeline was the first one he had ever encountered; he hadn't experienced any cycles, and he had no idea how it would develop in the Future.
The silver-skinned man with sharp teeth and horns was someone he was encountering for the first time, and the Bo You had no idea who he was.
Completely new timelines that transcend the cycle have appeared before in the history of the Ring Research Institute, but none of them have ultimately affected the Ring Research Institute's trajectory.
Even Bo You, the director of the Ring Research Institute, can only face the unknown Future with utmost caution.
However, the Bo You remain extremely confident in their own technology and the historical legacy of the Ring Research Institute.
But what he didn't know was...
At this moment, on the gate, a small part of the closed symbol of the Ring Research Institute is becoming increasingly faint; upon closer inspection, this is a sign that a gap has appeared.
"Dean..."
"Help me..."
"I don't want to die..."
"I can continue to contribute to the research institute..."
A weak voice came through.
Bo You slowly lowered his head and saw that Lu Guang had crawled to his feet. Blood could no longer flow from his mouth; instead, mouthfuls of bloody froth came out.
The Bo You stared at him, wondering about the background of this level 6 employee.
42 years ago.
In a luxurious mansion within the Metaverse.
An elderly man, around seventy years old, sat upright.
Judging from the decoration of the mansion and the old man's attire, he should be a high-ranking official in the Metaverse Government.
A blue vortex appeared out of thin air.
But then, Bo You wearing a white coat slowly walked out from inside.
The elderly man in the Zhongshan suit's expression changed. "Who goes there!"
Bo You calmly found a seat and sat down. "Don't be nervous. My name is Bo You, and I represent the Ring Research Institute."
The elderly man in the Zhongshan suit frowned. "I've never heard of such an organization. Don't think that just because your entrance is intimidating, I'll be wary of you. This isn't a place where you can run wild!"
"I know."
The Bo You remained calm, saying, "On the surface, you are a high-ranking official in the Metaverse Government, in charge of B5 Sector, but secretly you are a super-powerful being with a 97% Fusion Rate. Therefore, in your heart, you can eliminate me at any time."
But the old man in the Zhongshan suit looked increasingly solemn.
Bo You chuckled, "The so-called desire is endless. Even if your current level of Fusion Rate is already at a ceiling, you still want more. You want to break through 100% Fusion Rate and achieve immortality, so you can enjoy everything you have now even more recklessly."
The elderly man in the Zhongshan suit's expression flickered. "Who exactly are you? How do you know what I'm thinking?"
"Because I've been observing you alone for a long time across many timelines."
The Bo You said calmly, "Therefore, I understand your own heart even better than you do."
at this time.
The elderly man in the Zhongshan suit finally showed fear.
"Take it easy."
But the Bo You waved his hand dismissively, saying, "I'm here to help you fulfill your wish."
The old man in Chinese tunic suit asked doubtfully, "How can you... help me achieve my wish?"
Bo You sighed, "With your current level, you can't break through 100% Fusion Rate, and you'll gradually grow old and weak. You won't be able to hold onto your position as the B5 commander for much longer."
I'll give you a plan.
"And I'll give you another technology as well."
The Bo You looked at the elderly man in the Zhongshan suit and said, "In the Future, the Gemini Superbrain will make an update: killing someone will grant you Fusion Rate!"
The elderly man in the Zhongshan suit suddenly narrowed his Pupil.
"However, killing just one or two people is not enough."
"Given your current situation, killing tens of millions of people would be more like it."
The Bo You made a startling statement, continuing, "And you, in your current state, cannot accomplish all of this alone, therefore, you will need the help of many, many descendants."
"When those children are born, you can put them in a dark environment."
"I have quite a bit of experience in this area."
"Over time, they will develop all sorts of abilities."
"Of course, many descendants did not survive and died in the darkness."
"But it's okay, survival of the fittest, right?"
But then he saw the old man in the Zhongshan suit's eyes flicker; he was clearly no pushover. "That method is feasible, but... I don't have that many descendants."
"I just said that."
Bo You joked, "I'll give you a technology—cloning technology, and a mature cloning technology at that. All you have to do is clone your existing son Infinity."
The old man in the Zhongshan suit's eyes flickered even more intensely.
"But let's make this clear first."
The Bo You looked at the old man and said, "You will eventually have nine sons with special abilities, and as a reward, I will reappear in 21 years to take away the fifth one."
The elderly man in the Zhongshan suit immediately asked, "Why is it the fifth one?"
Because everyone else is useless to me.
"Only the fifth one, during the long darkness, developed a unique ability."
Bo You joked, "This ability is called ' Time Perception Disorder,' which happens to meet the admission criteria of our Ring Research Institute."
21 years later.
The Bo You returned to the mansion.
He didn't care at all about how far the old man in the Zhongshan suit had developed.
They went straight to the underground chamber and pushed open the fifth door.
Among them, a 21-year-old boy, disheveled and listless, looked at him.
"My field team leader, the dean is here to pick you up."
Bo You joked, "Come on, tell me, what's your name?"
My name is Wu Zheng Xuan.
The boy said woodenly.
The Bo You shook his head slightly, "What a terrible name. As far as I know, your father changed your whole family's surname to 'Lu' to hide your identity."
"How about this?"
"My appearance is your dawn."
"From now on, your name will be... Lu Guang."
