Elder Liu, Liu Ziyi, is a well-known figure in the Central Federation!
Seventy years ago, during a turbulent period, it was this person who stabilized the situation on the front lines, quickly took over the outer islands and the surrounding Baiyue, and even directly severed the connection between the Red Sun and the Western Federation. In just forty days, he took over this long-standing enemy of the Central Federation and permanently incorporated it into the territory of the Central Federation!
The three major Federation stood side by side, and the territory of the Central Federation expanded by nearly double, almost entirely thanks to this old man!
After the war, the old man was highly respected. If he had run for the position of Speaker of the Eastern Federation, it would have been a sure thing. However, he retired at the height of his prestige. For decades, there was no news about him. There were even conspiracy theories that the old man had been secretly harmed by powerful figures.
I never expected it to be here.
Seeing Ziyue's surprised look, Elder Liu smiled slightly, thinking that she probably wasn't one of the undercover agents.
If so, he shouldn't have such a surprised expression upon seeing himself. That expression didn't seem feigned; he clearly hadn't expected that he was the one behind it all.
"Does the little girl know me?"
Elder Liu sat down opposite Ziyue and asked gently.
" Among the Central Federation, there is probably no one who doesn't recognize Elder Liu." Ziyue quickly regained her composure and sat down opposite him.
The man's composure at that moment startled Elder Liu, who then looked at him suspiciously.
Having seen countless people, he could tell at a glance that this young girl was no ordinary person.
Even the most carefree person would feel somewhat restrained upon hearing his name. But this girl, aside from her initial surprise, quickly composed herself, and the way she met his gaze made him clearly realize that this little girl was no ordinary person.
That's the demeanor of a strong person. Not to mention ordinary people, even the second generation of those aristocratic families nowadays rarely cultivate this kind of aura. Only those who have experienced great events can have such a demeanor.
Is he really just a marginalized technician?
"The young man has a good attitude; it's a pity he's a technician," Elder Liu said with a smile, sipping the tea he had prepared beforehand.
"In this era, whether you can achieve anything isn't determined by your personal ability, is it?" Ziyue smiled. "How did I end up working for a private company? Didn't Elder Liu investigate before he came?"
"Working in a private company isn't necessarily a bad thing," Elder Liu, putting down his teacup. "The salaries and benefits at good companies these days are incomparable to those at Scientific Research Institute. You're so young, yet you can afford to buy a house in Magic City and have so much savings—that's a life many people can only dream of."
"I earned that through my own abilities."
"That also depends on the environment." Elder Liu looked at her seriously and said, "If the Central Federation didn't have its current stable environment, if the country weren't so prosperous, even if you had tremendous abilities, you might end up like some refugees in certain countries right now."
"So it's only natural that I'm ostracized because those people have contributed to the country, right?" Ziyue laughed.
Elder Liu paused for a few seconds. "I didn't say they were right."
"But you didn't stop it either." Ziyue's smile faded. "In your eyes, it's just a trivial matter, a little bit of power abuse, but for many people, it's their entire life's destiny. I'm curious, isn't it exhilarating to be able to decide someone's life's fate with a wave of your hand?"
"The girl's demeanor doesn't suggest she's someone who only complains."
"You overestimate me," Ziyue said with a smile.
However, he began to think about the intelligence about Data City. According to the intelligence that Chen Qing brought back, there was no famous Liu Family in Data City in the future. Including the family he saw in this era, the Liu Family seemed to be very ordinary. Apart from the Elder Liu's great military achievements, his descendants did not seem to be very outstanding. It is said that the youngest son just opened a barbershop.
At the time, it was also exposed that despite his father's illustrious background, his descendants did not take advantage of any resources and continued to do ordinary jobs, which was truly exemplary!
His descendants were unremarkable, and he disappeared without a trace during the Data City era. Could he really be the mastermind behind it all?
Isn't this hiding it too well? Do they even want their descendants to slowly decline?
If that's the case, then this person is truly ruthless.
"I heard you can find the reason why this game can be Samsara?" Elder Liu asked, looking at her.
"All the data has passed through my hands, especially the test data regarding the game's world view. Although I don't understand why only this game can achieve the Samsara effect, given some time, I'm sure I can find out the reason."
He paused for a moment, then emphasized, "If it can be done in cooperation with Pu Yunchuan."
Pu Yunchuan's current state is strange. It is said that he has been linked to a supercomputer and given terrifying computing power, but he is now trapped in the game and not allowed to leave. This is because no one knows whether a data life form linked to a supercomputer can control the entire digital world, like in some science fiction movies.
Therefore, she was eager to know Pu Yunchuan's current condition.
Only by getting to know Pu Yunchuan could she find out what really happened back then, and whether Pu Yunchuan survived in the end.
This is important: Is Chen Qing actually Pu Yunchuan, or Pu Yunchuan's younger brother? And why does he have Pu Yunchuan's memories?
Those who invested in this game back then were probably the masterminds behind the epic battle that followed. But what happened to them afterward?
Multiple intelligence reports indicate that the current top players in the game are those original adventurers who control the entire world. But is this the outcome the people behind the scenes wanted?
They created all this; surely they can't let outsiders enjoy the fruits of their labor?
But now, they are nowhere to be found in the world, neither in Data City nor in the Demon World. Who else participated in this experiment?
Where exactly are those people now?
What do they really want?
Ziyue felt she was getting closer to the truth!
"Really?" Elder Liu nodded. "These young people nowadays are amazing. It seems like you can solve any problem. When I first came across this project, I thought it was just science fiction. I never imagined you could actually pull it off."
"Hmm?" Ziyue was taken aback, then chuckled, "Isn't this what Elder Liu wanted?"
"Is that so?" Elder Liu nodded slightly, looking at Ziyue with a hint of pity in his eyes. "Such a young girl, in the prime of her life, it's a pity she has so much talent."
"What?" Ziyue frowned, a bad feeling rising in her heart.
"I'm very sorry, but this old man has no choice but to do this."
Then, to Ziyue's horror, she saw the old man pull out a gun and point it at her!
At this moment, all the memories surged towards me like a tidal wave!
She remembered.
I did not die of natural causes; I was murdered.
Yes, he was beaten to death by the old man in front of him!!
