Chapter 879: Chapter 845: Please Accept Your Mission_2

"Eh—romance?"

The RT6 walking beside him suddenly exaggerated the trailing tone of his speech, which he had never heard the other use before.

Surprise mingled with pride and a pinch of disdain, yet he seemed quite interested in the topic. "I didn’t expect you to be interested in this kind of thing, but as far as I know, you’ve never even had a romantic experience before."

The "Emperor" looked in the direction of the voice.

Yeah, even the way RT6 spoke was weird.

She was covering her mouth with her left hand, seemingly as a "polite" way to mask her mockery.

"Someone said there’s no such thing as a useless experience; it’s precisely because I’ve never understood it that I need to learn about it."

"Eh? But you don’t even have a girlfriend, so how are you going to learn?"

"I’ll find a way."

His gaze lingered on RT6 for a long time.

Apparently immersed in mocking the "Emperor," RT6’s reaction time was greatly reduced. She completely failed to notice the fleeting light in the "Emperor’s" cybernetic eye, or that he had just gleaned a section from "A Love Tip Every Day."

Those who always put on a disdainful attitude upon hearing the topic of love, deliberately speaking in a strange tone, full of sarcasm, and often calling others "trash fish," often have a particular interest in this topic.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lu Xiang and Song Lan, who had moved beyond the initial phase and were gradually approaching a long-standing couple’s routine, had started discussing business.

"The Church? Never heard of it."

Song Lan looked blank, giving a negative answer to Lu Xiang’s query.

Although he didn’t know where the Church of Psychic Abilities that Lu Xiang mentioned had come from, he was quite sure that as a person who believed in science, he’d never participated in such metaphysical organizations.

Lu Xiang then took out a small booklet.

It contained the long-term observations and conclusions she had made about Song Lan’s abilities, including what she deduced from his descriptions after the Langinus incident, which she named the "Space-Time Fluctuation" ability details.

Song Lan’s reaction was also within reason.

According to the notes in the booklet, a side effect of this ability was that even Song Lan would forget the events of the other timeline.

Only when he happened to be in the same place as before the ability was triggered would fragmented images emerge in his mind.

But given Song Lan’s personality, he definitely lacked the motivation to find out what exactly happened on the other timeline. In his own words, he’d rather lie down at home and rest up with that effort.

To him, searching for the "past" had no meaning.

Lu Xiang gradually realized that a day might not be the upper limit of Song Lan’s ability, and on this issue, her views had always differed from his.

She was someone with intense curiosity, and after Qi He brought to light the history erased during the dark era, she couldn’t help but think about it.

Unfortunately, the records of the Church in the "Sea of Souls" were incomplete and patchy; it only ambiguously mentioned that those shadows all originated from a common organization, at best only a piece of the "puzzle."

According to the contents in the booklet, "position" was the key to everything.

As long as Song Lan was in the same location as the "past," he would remember something.

Qi He mentioned that the Church’s power was immense during those times, so much so that the Review Meeting and the powers RT6 belonged to were at a great disadvantage at the onset of the war. Thus, at a minimum, it should have set up cathedrals and places for prayer and worship in all cities.

No matter the era or in what form faith existed, believers would spontaneously build church-like places.

And since District Four was one of the central cities of the United Government, it would surely be one of the areas where believers were most active.

"This will help us understand the Gene Master."

Lu Xiang said, "What he has done in the ’outside world’ and the Third Neutral Country might be an imitation of the Church."

However, in the history of the Third Neutral Country, the Church won the war.

If it weren’t for Song Lan’s intervention in the End of Days Ritual, Archbishop Helifis might have already become the new God of Psychic Abilities, and now it seems the Gene Master has found a new approach. Moving away from a fixation on flesh and genes alone, he has begun to absorb the technology of the mechanical legions and the theories of psychic abilities, advancing on all fronts.

The next dark age that Qi He mentioned might be closely related to the Gene Master.

Song Lan had mentioned that the Gene Master was extremely adept at hiding; his true form did not exist in any corner of this world, and even he found it difficult to locate a dimension that didn’t exist in this world.

"Their ’Father God’ seems to know a lot about you and the things that happened in the past."

It was for this reason that when Song Lan disrupted Helifis’s ascension at the End’s Sacrifice, the Gene Master did not lose his senses and respond to Song Lan’s provocation by engaging him in direct confrontation.

Having someone watching you in secret is not a pleasant feeling.

Especially since the other party was theoretically at the same level of existence as RT6’s mother.

"Old Lu, what do you think?"

Song Lan tossed the question back to Lu Xiang.

"Remember the memories we extracted from the ’predator’? He had been lurking inside the Rebel Army, carrying out tasks assigned by the Gene Master, intending to provoke a full-scale war between the Rebel Army and the United Government."

This was not a good sign.

With the military forces currently at the disposal of both parties, a full-scale war would be sufficient to destroy the surface of this world a dozen times over.

At least in the plans of the Gene Master, he never intended to confront Song Lan face-to-face.

The forces reserved in District Seventeen could at most ensure their survival along with the surrounding cities through the war.

"According to the original plan, we’re also supposed to stay in District Four for a while; perhaps we can find the ruins of the Church."

As she spoke, Lu Xiang opened the electronic map of District Four.

Even if the final war was inevitable, she at least wanted Song Lan to be amply prepared.

Unsurprisingly, all the information she could find about the Church was related to the filming locations built by Kolo Film Industry; after the dark age, the entire District Four had been demolished and rebuilt, fortunately the Sea of Souls helped her eliminate a lot of the workload, narrowing the clues down to several areas.

"This is a good opportunity to make use of your status as a show mentor. It’s much easier than investigating on your own," she said.

After obtaining the "story editor," she also had to deal with the aftermath.

The founder of Kolo Film Industry, Singose, was dead, this time for good, and without the manipulation of the Sea of Souls from behind the scenes, Kolo Film Industry was very likely to fall into a long period of internal strife.

According to Guan Lili, many people were eyeing the position of power, and even she herself had been pulled into this vortex.

Although Guan Lili was not particularly interested in that position, there were some in the company who she absolutely did not want to see rise to power.

Once the Investigation Bureau passed on the news of the founder’s death, forming cliques became inevitable.

"And there’s Monica, who is currently dealing with her clone father... If you add external threats to the mix, Kolo Film Industry might just collapse," Lu Xiang said.

"What?!"

Song Lan, who had not been particularly interested up to this point, suddenly perked up.

The potential collapse of Kolo Film Industry?

This won’t do.

If Kolo Film Industry disappeared, what would he do when he wanted to slack off in the office? Learning from Master of Rescuers had become part of his life, as natural as eating and drinking, and Song Lan was someone who did not like changes.

"Don’t worry, I can handle things on Kolo Film Industry’s end," Lu Xiang said, the corners of her mouth slightly turning up. She knew how to motivate Song Lan, "Now it’s not just District Four; everyone is watching the death of the founder, so leave Master of Rescuers to you. Let’s put an end to this story together."

She placed her hand on Song Lan’s shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

But to Song Lan, it seemed as if a giant orange question mark had appeared over Lu Xiang’s head.

The kind that brings up a series of main and side quests whenever a conversation happens.
