"What exactly do you want to do?" Wang Ye calmed down at this point.
From the moment he decided to step into this place, he had no chance, but he felt he should know the truth.
Chen Qing sent him here to investigate the truth. Regardless of whether he could return to support Chen Qing, as long as the truth was found out and he sent a message to him, whether Chen Qing could receive it or not was no longer his concern. At least he wouldn't owe Chen Qing anything anymore.
"Where have you gotten to in your investigation?" the woman asked, smiling at him.
"Back then, a group of people secretly created the first data lifeforms, and shortly afterward, they orchestrated a world war with the aim of making the entire world uninhabitable for living beings, forcing all of humanity to become data lifeforms."
Elder Jin: "."
This conspiracy theory has been circulating for a long time. After all, the world war that year was indeed too extreme and suspicious. Many historians believe that it was driven by forces behind the scenes, but there has never been any effective evidence. In addition, the official authorities have always strongly denied this rumor, which has led to this statement only circulating in historical circles, giving people the feeling of a conspiracy theory, but it cannot be written into history books.
"That's true," the woman replied with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Hou Jie and the others' eyes turned red!
This conspiracy theory has been weighing on people's minds, but everyone treated it as a legend, harboring a sliver of hope that their current lives are an inevitable consequence of historical trends, not the work of certain individuals. And now, someone is telling him that's exactly what happened.
The world is cruel like this: most people cannot decide their own fate; most people can only be manipulated by a minority. No matter how crazy the decisions those minority makes, most people can only endure it and can do nothing about it.
A group of people who had reached the pinnacle of power, still unsatisfied even after achieving immortality, sought to drag the entire world down with them, resulting in the deaths of billions. The world was devoid of living carbon-based life, and everyone became a mass of data, existing solely to fuel the continued lust for power of this group.
How tragic!!
Even Wang Ye felt an extremely uncomfortable and stifling feeling, which was very unbearable.
Is this what humans are like?
"It all stems from an experiment back then." The woman casually found a chair and sat down, her movements graceful and efficient, not at all like an elegant noblewoman. However, the cold light in her eyes made Wang Ye feel more disgusted than He Family leader he had ever met.
"Back then, a group of people who controlled top-tier resources—some were the richest men in the country, some were warlords, and some were top politicians in a major power—all of them were nearing the end of their lives. So they came together by investing in the same laboratory. The combined power of such a group was enormous, especially after the experiment succeeded."
"The experiment has been successful, and those people have already extended their lifespans as they wished. Why do we need to do anything afterward?" Wang Ye said coldly.
The woman looked at the other person with amusement. "I thought you demons wouldn't be so naive."
"Just consider me naive then. Can you answer my question?" Wang Ye said with a smile.
"What difference is there between being alive and dead for a group of people standing at the top if they lose their rightful rights and status?"
"I see." Wang Ye nodded. "Then what does all this have to do with Chen Qing?"
" Chen Qing?" The woman's eyes were incredibly complex, as if she were recalling something from a long time ago. "The key to the success of the experiment back then was a man named Pu Yunchuan."
" Pu Yunchuan," Wang Ye murmured, not surprised at all. The other party looked at him with slight astonishment and said, "It seems that Chen Qing trusts you more than most people, even telling you the name Pu Yunchuan."
Wang Ye remained silent. To be honest, he didn't understand why Pu Yunchuan trusted him so much. He was just a demon, and Pu Yunchuan trusted him so much just because he had saved Pu Yunchuan's life the first time?
Not only did they tell me such important intelligence, but they also sent me to the rear of Data City. In my opinion, this trust was a bit excessive.
" Pu Yunchuan," the woman sighed softly, "If he had cooperated a little back then, none of this would have happened. The world would be a paradise by now."
"How interesting." Wang Ye looked at the other person with amusement. Are people really this schizophrenic? Doing something like this, and actually believing that the world would be a better place if no one stopped them.
A bunch of guys who've murdered billions of people are claiming they'll make the world a better place—what a hellish joke!
"Did he stop you?" Wang Ye was too lazy to argue with the other party and went straight to the question he cared about most, "World War still broke out, the data age still arrived, I don't see what Pu Yunchuan did to stop you."
"He did stop it," the woman sneered. "Back then, he was incredibly audacious. To ambush us, he even used his own younger brother as bait. My father never imagined he would be defeated by a gamer. But his end wasn't much better. The tide of history is rolling in. Did someone like him think he could stop it?"
"Looks like that mantis's arm is thick enough," Wang Ye laughed. "It caused you quite a bit of trouble."
I guess so.
"Back then, it wasn't the Liu Family," Hou Jie couldn't help but ask.
According to rare historical records, the laboratory was destroyed and thousands of people died. Because top figures from various countries were in the laboratory, it caused a huge diplomatic incident. The most affected person was a general surnamed Liu, who was a war god-level elder in the Eastern Federation at the time. His mysterious death abroad almost instantly aroused the anger of the whole country.
The Central Federation, which has never liked foreign wars, participated in the subsequent war only because of the boiling public opinion and the call to arms by the Liu Family.
" The Liu Family is nothing but an ingrate." The woman's face grew even colder upon hearing the surname. Without that old man's help, Pu Yunchuan would have had no chance of succeeding. Although his actions were all within her father's expectations, without him, the consequences would never have been as they were, forcing her father and a group of top figures to hide for so many years!
Back then, that old man was just an ordinary military academy graduate from a humble background. If his father hadn't valued him, how would he have had the opportunity to become famous and become the Huo Qubing of history books?
Ungrateful and ungrateful, he betrayed his father at that crucial moment; truly an ungrateful wretch.
"I understand." Wang Ye nodded immediately. "You guys planned the Data Plan back then, and you can still control the Federation instantly. Even after so many years, you can use the preserved genes to bring Pu Yunchuan's memories to the New World. This proves that you are deeply rooted, but you still don't dare to step into the limelight."
Why? What is it that frightens you?
"What do you think?" the woman asked, looking at Wang Ye.
"The fourth version!" Wang Ye exclaimed with a laugh!
The woman, referring to someone from ancient times, gave the other person a serious look. "You've only been here for half a year, yet you've already mastered everything here and can deduce things to this extent. You're truly remarkable. No wonder Chen Qing values you so much. The Evening Elephant is indeed a big problem in your hands."
