Chapter 1081: Chapter 936: Ghost_2

He truly couldn’t comprehend why a mere laboratory security chief always harbored grand ambitions, imagining himself defying the United Government.

Lu Xiang then realized, "No wonder Princess Lieyang happened to pass through Zone Seventeen at that time."

The data in the chip explained many questions she hadn’t understood before.

Conceptual arms were also Jiu’s arms, and so far, they knew of three people who had successfully adapted to conceptual arms; coincidentally, all three were in good contact with Song Lan.

"Jiu originally planned for Princess Lieyang to take care of Phine on the way, but unexpectedly, she encountered a cadre from Esinvig midway and was delayed. By the time she got rid of the trouble, Phine had died and Elmon had disappeared."

Ordinary human eyes couldn’t recognize the existence of Elmon, and even the researchers in the laboratory needed specific instruments to communicate with the Consciousness Entity state of Elmon.

After much consideration, the laboratory finally decided to abandon the search for Elmon.

Phine’s accidental death and the expulsion of the Foster Family from Zone Seventeen both indicated the presence of psychic ability users they couldn’t predict; any rash action would not only fail to complete the recovery but also risk exposing their research.

"The second one is Captain Doug."

"Captain Doug? Is he also involved in this?"

"Remember the two-star rescuer Elmon mentioned? The Foster Family has been obsessed with his Silver Emblem Medal. Now it seems what they truly fear is not the killing of the two-star rescuer being exposed, but that this medal might drag their psychic research facility into the spotlight."

Such phenomena were not uncommon within the United Government.

The so-called gray industries also needed help in maintaining secrets, and those families and companies controlling the border cities were the biggest umbrellas for these projects.

The experimental institution must have reached out to Angel Foster, asking her to keep an eye on the movements in Zone Seventeen.

After all, if some idle four-star or five-star rescuers were alerted, their situation would become very difficult.

"That two-star rescuer found the location of the laboratory through clues provided by Captain Doug. Before that, Captain Doug never gave up; he had been actively collecting information on confirmed missing cases in Zone Seventeen and the border..."

Lu Xiang stopped there.

At that point in time, Captain Doug still harbored a slight fantasy.

Imagining that the missing Kate might have been transferred to someplace "outside" and was waiting for their rescue.

"Though that two-star rescuer died at Phine’s hands, it caused quite the trouble for the lab. Phine took advantage of this to advance her plans, provoking Elmon to escape the laboratory. This allowed her to leave the experimental institution under legitimate circumstances and begin the retrieval operation for Elmon."

With the records in the chip, Lu Xiang increasingly felt that all of this seemed to be the result of happenstance.

Only a multitude of coincidences coming together could lead to today’s situation.

And the wheel of history for all this began one afternoon.

It seemed an ordinary day when Song Lan left work early as usual, ready to go home to prepare her favorite dry pot potato and braised pork ribs.

Then, in a corner no camera could cover, an unwelcome guest pressed a gun against the back of his head.

Lu Xiang exhaled, saying, "The emergence of the Void made Jiu completely abandon the recovery plans and put his mind at ease; he seemed to believe Elmon had returned to where he should be."

From Jiu’s notes in the chip, it was clear how much he valued the appearance of the Void.

He saw it as another attempt for humanity to adapt to the life in the upper world, and the one who could turn the entire city into a laboratory could only be the person he admired.

Rebuilding the upper world was a grand blueprint, requiring effort hard for the common man to imagine, and even failure was worth the risk.

"So, the Psychic Research Institute also secretly sent a few people to live in Void Town," Jiu believed that it was a simulation of life in the upper world, and the first batch of people who returned there not only had to survive but also must possess construction and creativity skills."

The "natural gas leakage" incident had turned the present upper world into a barren wasteland, so the people who came later had to take on the work of escaping and building.

Watching Song Lan’s conflicted expression, Lu Xiang curled her lips, "The mole you spoke of has finally been found."

Since the incident with Princess Lieyang, Song Lan had constantly suspected that a mole had infiltrated the high ranks of the United Government, and this mole had also indirectly helped them quite a lot.

They initially thought that all this was done by Qi He, but now it seems that Jiu and the Psychic Research Institute also played a role in muddying the waters, at least the United Government’s exploration of the Void remained stalled, because the Psychic Research Institute kept creating obstacles.

Jiu did not wish for too many people to know about this experiment concerning their grand plans.

Thus, he had formed the strongest mole combination with Qi He since the dark era of the United Government.

But the motive of this mole was unexpected, even Lu Xiang had never considered this possibility before.

It wasn’t to overthrow the United Government, nor to usher in the new century, but to help Song Lan fulfill a long-held wish, to rebuild the devastated upper world.

Lu Xiang teased, "It seems you really made an indelible impression on him, to have a man over a hundred years old still unable to forget you until today. What exactly did you do to him before going to Zone Seventeen?"

She admitted she was somewhat jealous of this Dumb Bird.

She had spent an entire afternoon in the data archives of the Psychic Research Institute, busy yet achieving nothing, but this Dumb Bird had just entered Jiu’s office and casually conversed, and the latter handed over the data chip containing research about Elmon willingly to him.

Dumb Bird always found a way to solve problems unexpectedly, which indeed echoed his earlier assessment of the detective profession—anyone could become a famous detective if they were lucky enough.

Such was the detective, Song Lan.

He could casually encounter a suspect while walking downstairs, and the latter would suddenly have a change of heart, sobbing as he confessed his criminal activities.

The only good news was that they no longer had to worry about Elmon’s personal safety.

The mastermind behind this plan believed he had already gone to where he needed to be, so they didn’t have to worry about someone hiring kidnappers to break into Newster on a dark and windy night, and abduct Elmon.

"How wonderful, your fans truly span the world."

"Don’t describe me like a cultist!"

Song Lan was certain, he had never communicated privately with Jiu before, nor had he proposed any grand plans to rebuild the upper world, "He must have gotten something wrong."

"But he clearly knows about the existence of the upper world, and its current situation as well."

Lu Xiang said, "If these weren’t told to him by you, doesn’t that make things even more troublesome?"

As far as she knew, currently, only three people knew about this matter.

Both she and Song Lan had no interactions with Jiu, and "Nothingness" because of "historical legacy issues" had signed an agreement with RT6’s "Mother" prohibiting setting foot within the United Government.

Lu Xiang chose to believe Song Lan, so they had to assume under the premise that Jiu mistook this misunderstanding, wrongly identifying Song Lan as the mysterious person who had been communicating with him all along.

"This means that person not only knows the current situation of the upper world but has also been secretly supporting the Psychic Research Institute, proposing the plan to rebuild the upper world."

Even, this plan had already made initial progress.

According to the data provided on this chip, Elmon could potentially have become a "new human" able to live in the upper world.

"Could the person who has been communicating with Jiu all along be a ghost?"
