"It isn't easy to obtain great power. You have to walk the path step by step yourself."
Lin Dong's words were like a bucket of cold water thrown over Qi Lin.
"I'm sorry. I was being too naive."
Lan Hong continued.
"I can give you two choices. First, I can erase this part of your memory and let you return to your normal life.
But another organization will probably find you soon. You'll join them and become a sniper, fighting those Gluttons."
"Another organization?"
"They are the Denuo Survivors, aliens who came to Earth a thousand years ago. They appear to have integrated into Earth, but they have never forgotten about restoring Denuo. They have been plotting in secret, intending to use Earth to bring the Denuo Civilization back to life.
The bloodlines of many people in this country have already been contaminated by Denuo genes."
"How could this be? The country..."
Qi Lin did not continue. After a thousand years of planning, the upper ranks had likely been infiltrated first.
Qi Lin was not some naive fool who knew nothing.
"What is the second choice?"
"The second choice is to abandon your genes. We will teach you a cultivation method, allowing you to gain powerful strength to fight those alien Gluttons as well.
As for the price, naturally, you will become our test subject.
All right, make your choice."
After thinking it over, Qi Lin decisively chose the second option.
"You've got quite some nerve. Aren't you afraid we might harm you?"
"If you wanted to harm me, you wouldn't need to go through so much trouble. Besides, you saved me. I should repay you."
"You know how to repay kindness. Not bad! Each of the three of us has a cultivation method. You can choose one to practice.
