Looking at these targets, [ with Lion Hidden in the Eyes ] asked in confusion:
I remember there weren't this many yesterday.
[ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] nodded and said:
"That's right, I chatted with [ Dawn Ah ] for a while yesterday, and he asked me to help investigate some new aspects."
[ Lion Hidden in the Eyes ] Suddenly it dawned on me:
"Oh, it's him, the professor's assistant. Why didn't he come with us?"
"I asked that question too. He said he has a research mission in the real world and can't be online for long periods of time recently. However, he still assigned me to gather some information about how the people of the Graycast Corridor combine their bodies with machinery."
"I see."
[ Lion Hidden in the Eyes ] He first understood, then became very confused:
"Then why didn't he make me do this?"
[ The Shit Appraisal Master ] looked at the puzzled half-dragon and said:
"It's probably because your head is pointy, which doesn't seem like it's capable of thinking."
The real world, unknown areas.
The temperature was already quite low at the end of November. Li Yu ([ Dawn Ah ]) hung her coat on the hanger, wiped the fog off her glasses, and walked towards her new workstation.
After taking a sip of steaming hot soy milk, he skillfully turned on his computer and began a security check.
The internal network is currently operating very stably, and there are no signs of intrusion.
Li Yu wasn't sure if this purely wired LAN could actually prevent such an intrusion, but since it was still safe for now, everyone felt more at ease.
"Well."
He sighed almost imperceptibly, thinking that if this was just a facade put on by the manipulators behind " World of Disorder," then they really had no way to deal with it.
The story begins a few months ago. After realizing that a certain oversized entity could infiltrate the network, the professionals in charge decided to replace the network with purely paper-based office work.
After running like this for a while, everyone was exhausted, both physically and mentally.
After all, in such a developed modern world, written documents naturally lose some of their timeliness, and become incredibly cumbersome as events accumulate.
The good news is that the relevant personnel quickly realized the problem, so they decided to build a purely intranet database for internal communication and file storage.
As for the stored content, it is of course research on " Psionic Energy " and the impact of Psionic Energy on reality.
Li Yu's work these past few days has been to categorize and summarize some seemingly plausible reports, select the valuable parts for filing, and then go to investigate them.
This is clearly not in line with the identity of a graduate student, but since he was unintentionally dragged into this matter, he has no choice but to grit his teeth and continue for the sake of his graduation certificate.
Whenever he thought about this, he felt a sense of resentment.
My junior classmate was fine; he easily got the chance to graduate smoothly. But me... I've already written half of my thesis!
After a moment of silent reflection, Li Yu began entering and categorizing the documents received that day, including but not limited to: changes in crop color observed in a certain region; a mountain goods merchant in a certain area discovering a roe deer covered in grass; and someone in a certain biological laboratory using " Psionic Energy " to induce the growth direction of mycelium...
Looking at all this complicated information, Li Yu felt a headache coming on.
After overcoming the helplessness in her heart, Li Yu immediately began the identification based on the available information.
Because of his expertise, the information assigned to him was all related to biology. Several professionals would make their own judgments, and if most of them thought there was a problem, the special task force would immediately begin operations.
Li Yu quickly began working:
Crops changing color? This could be a genetic mutation issue. It's necessary to observe whether there are similar plants or just one.
A roe deer covered in grass might be related to Psionic Energy, but its body is too large; it doesn't seem real...
As for the experiment of inducing mycelium with Psionic Energy, Li Yu he could reproduce it himself because of the detailed information. He would know whether it was true or false after going to the laboratory later.
These things, which he would have dismissed as nonsense at first glance, would have made him feel like his eyes had been polluted a year ago.
At the time, he clearly felt that the matter should be handed over to " Approaching Science " to film three or five episodes, and finally arrive at a simple conclusion that could be explained by modern science.
But ever since the emergence of " World of Disorder," this world seems to be truly sliding towards disorder.
Now, when Li Yu sees news like this, she doesn't even dare to scroll away; she basically has to click in to find out whether it's a rumor or the truth.
He, and many others, had a suspicion that something was about to happen in the near future.
But how to stop these things... no one seems to have a truly effective solution right now.
Li Yu only knew that recently, under the intervention of a certain major force, the price of home gaming PCs had plummeted again, and the price of redemption codes on a certain trading website was also gradually decreasing amid fluctuations.
Recent news indicates that similar situations have occurred on external trading websites, suggesting that some things can be agreed upon globally without much explanation.
Clearly, in the face of a potentially collapsing future, it's always good to have some talent reserves.
Just as Li Yu was numbly typing and categorizing the file content, the office door was suddenly kicked open, and his junior brother Lü Yang (the " Backstabbing Expert "), looking anxious, appeared in front of him:
"Senior brother, come quick! Something important needs our attention!"
"Let me lock my screen."
Li Yu quickly activated the lock mode and then jogged towards the door.
The two walked quickly down the corridor, and he whispered to his junior brother:
"Is it convenient to say? So I can be mentally prepared."
"I can explain, but the situation is a bit complicated..."
As he walked, the junior brother pondered carefully for a while, and finally asked:
"Senior, have you seen that old movie called ' Source Code ' from decades ago?"
Li Yu thought for a moment and said:
"I watched it when I was a kid. I remember it was some movie where only half the soldiers survived, and they were trying to defuse a bomb or something, and it kept rewinding timelines, right?"
"Yes, that's the one."
"What does that have to do with what you're trying to say?"
Upon hearing this, the junior brother did not answer but instead asked:
"Senior, do you remember the ending of that movie?"
Li Yu paused for a moment, then frantically searched her childhood memories, finally saying somewhat uncertainly:
"I remember the male protagonist was cut off from reality and lived peacefully ever after..."
He suddenly stopped, looked into his junior brother's eyes, and said the remaining half of the sentence, word by word:
"Another world..."
