call!!
Ziyue suddenly opened her eyes.
Having been immersed in deep memories for too long, the familiar cabin in front of her now felt strange and unreal.
But she quickly realized that what was happening now was the most real moment.
is that so?
Is that how it is?
Ziyue gripped her crossed legs tightly with both hands, her fingers digging deep into her flesh, her eyes icy cold.
I remember now, I remember everything.
She was murdered!
Perhaps I didn't recall those deliberate actions, but as the person most likely to find the reason why this game could Samsara, I was actually killed.
What is that old man trying to do?
Why would he kill himself?
Is it all because of my humble request to return to the Scientific Research Institute?
Is it really necessary?
So what if they just ignore them? Why risk their lives? Is it just because they threatened them?
Ziyue tried her best to calm herself down. After learning that she had actually been murdered, she found it very difficult to suppress the anger in her emotions, something she herself couldn't understand.
After transmigrating to this world, the cruelty she suffered was far greater than that one fatal shot. Even when she was humiliated and tortured by those elders, the hatred in her heart had never been so intense.
It seems that in their memories and thoughts, they still value everything from their previous life more.
She tried to calm herself down and think about the reasons.
The difference between the other person and himself at that time was enormous. If it weren't for the experiment, he wouldn't even be qualified to meet the other person. How could the other person choose to kill him personally when there was such a huge gap between them?
Why?
Why did she do that?
Ziyue didn't believe it was because she had threatened the other party. If it were truly a matter of power and pride, and he felt that her threat had challenged his authority, there was no need for her to take action herself. According to his pride in power, taking action herself would only dirty her hands, and she didn't even deserve to die at his hands.
Moreover, he didn't seem to be in good condition at the time; he coughed for a long time after saying just a few words, clearly indicating a serious illness. Wasn't he worried about causing an accident if he personally tried to kill me in such a state?
Why would someone like that take this risk?
The only reason is that he has to do it!
Ziyue slowly closed her eyes, trying hard to think of any reason why he had to do this.
There's only one reason why he chose to kill me himself instead of using his subordinates: he didn't want others to know. But since he requested a meeting, at least many people would know. So, he wasn't trying to hide the fact that he wanted to kill me, but rather the reason he wanted to kill me.
Although I am a nobody, the success of the experiment is at stake. To rashly kill me, there must be a reason, at least a reason for the other powerful backers behind the scenes.
He'd heard from the person in charge that the people behind this lab were all big shots, bigger shots than you could imagine. Elder Liu was probably just one of them. If he wanted to kill him, he'd have to give the others an explanation, wouldn't he?
Sending someone to kill him would leave him without an excuse, but doing it himself would give him one. For example, he could claim to be an assassin who suddenly attacked him, forcing him to defend himself.
This was the only reason Ziyue could think of.
As for why this is done...
Ziyue opened her eyes and looked around, then at her Samsara body.
If I'm not mistaken, that Elder Liu is preventing me from discovering the secret of this game's Samsara.
He doesn't want to be able to replicate this game!
Why?
Bang bang
Just as she was wondering, there was a rapid knocking on the door. Ziyue opened her eyes and looked outside. "What is it?"
"Sir, there's something going on outside."
It was Shen Qi's voice. Ziyue took a deep breath and sat up. She felt a little dizzy the moment she stood up. Exploring memories during deep sleep had consumed more energy than she had imagined. Now that she had inherited the power of the Outer Heaven Demon Statue, her mental strength was ready to break through to the King Level at any time. Once she broke through, she would immediately reach the peak of the King Level, at least at the King Level!
Such immense mental power would be practically godlike in modern times, yet it consumes so much of that power when exploring the depths of memory?
A sense of unease rose in Ziyue's heart. At this crucial moment, her memories had suddenly cracked, and the price for accessing those memories was so high. Was it a coincidence or a premeditated scheme?
" Lord Ziyue?"
"Okay, just a moment."
Ziyue took a breath, trying to calm her mental energy, then stood up and opened the door.
Her exceptional field of vision allowed her to immediately notice the difference outside.
fog
The fog was so thick that it looked like a rolling sea of clouds outside the cabin. The fog was frighteningly dense; even someone with my level of mental strength couldn't see more than three meters into the fog.
She instantly realized that this thick fog was definitely not simple!
"My lord, this fog came suddenly, even more terrifying than the fog formed by the ancient array outside Jiangnan back then. I think that once the fleet enters, we will probably lose contact with each other immediately."
"Mm," Ziyue nodded.
"Should we still go?" Shen Qi asked cautiously.
"Let's retreat," Ziyue said bluntly.
"Going is still very risky, hmm?" Shen Qi was taken aback. "Sir, you mean to back out?"
He never expected Ziyue to retreat so decisively.
Having mobilized most of the army, made a huge fuss, and brought so much Baiyu, how could they just retreat like that?
Although he also felt that going deeper was somewhat dangerous, wasn't this retreat a bit too hasty?
"Back up first, then we'll talk!" Ziyue didn't explain, just waved her hand and gave the order.
"Okay," Shen Qi replied without asking any further questions and immediately went to the bow of the ship to give the signal.
Ziyue gazed at the mist ahead, her unease growing stronger.
Elder Liu shot himself because he didn't want to replicate the Samsara of reincarnation in this world. So, after all these years, until the era of data life began, is this the only world among all that allows for Samsara and immortality?
Why did he do that?
This world is clearly far more dangerous. If one desires peace and longevity, shouldn't one actively support oneself and replicate a simpler, more simulated environment?
What happened after he killed himself?
What kind of person did Pu Yunchuan ultimately become?
Why, years later, would the person behind the scenes upload the genes of this group of people to the world, allowing them to come back to life in the game during this special period?
What is their purpose?
What role did Elder Liu play in all of this?
Ziyue racked her brains but couldn't figure out the important connection. Most importantly, she felt that this accidental awakening of memories was not a coincidence, but a scheme.
The other party calculated that he would be unable to resist prying into that memory, and once he did, his energy would inevitably be depleted.
As it turned out, the extent of the damage was far greater than she had imagined. When she was asking the question, she even secretly tried to use the spell to see clearly inside the fog, but she immediately discovered that she could not use the spell now!
Will exploring deep memories prevent a warlock from using their spells?
This discovery immediately made her realize that it was a trap, a trap that had been set long ago.
Just then, the ship began to turn around under Shen Qi's direction.
But as soon as they turned around, something strange happened.
After turning around, everyone was astonished to find that they were still surrounded by fog!
Surrounded
"My lord?" Shen Qi rushed back to Ziyue's room, only to be even more shocked to find that Ziyue's room had also been enveloped in mist!
