Chapter 919: 863 Chapter: Little Mice_2

"You mean Lucky?"

"Rob Lucci? That’s just one of his many identities."

"Who is he really? No, what’s your true purpose?"

Vadim couldn’t help but ask.

He had felt that the world was filled with oddities since a few days ago.

The modified rules, the setting that you can’t continue to attack someone once they’ve fallen, and then the phantom of the year 2141.

Lie Ge, Dargon—why did he even know these people?

Vadim didn’t like this feeling—even as Little Mice, he hoped to at least be an aware Little Mice; if he was to die somewhere one day, he wanted to be a spirit that died in the know.

Meanwhile, he had a strong premonition that what was happening had nothing to do with the death of the founder of Kolo Film Industry or the internal strife; he was entangled in another event altogether.

"I had planned to reclaim your prosthetic body tonight, but I didn’t expect your consciousness to form some sort of subtle connection with that man, which allowed you to see some reflections of the past."

"But I don’t know him at all!"

Vadim could swear that tonight was the first time he had heard the name Rob Lucci, and as for his other identities... those were even more irrelevant to a Little Mice like him. In his view, with the abilities that Rob Lucci had, he shouldn’t be reduced to a company or family’s Little Mice—they had completely different fates.

"Yes, you don’t know him; you’ve never dealt with him during your time in Zone 17."

"Then why—"

"Because there’s something in your body right now that is related to him."

"...Overload Type IV."

That was the only possibility Vadim could think of; in fact, it was only after he had the Overload Type IV implant that he began to see the world becoming increasingly strange.

Initially, he believed the lies of the ’Blue Eyes’ company people, thinking he had undergone an evolution and become some sort of being that transcended humanity. However, subsequent events made him realize that he had never escaped the identity of a Little Mice; even his survival or death seemed to be decided by the games played between the company and some unknown entity.

Just like now, the ’Blue Eyes’ company people told him that the main reason he could wake up without being ’recycled’ by military technology was that his consciousness had established a link with some existence.

Vadim’s anxiety and dread about the future made him impatient, and he even started shouting at the ’Blue Eyes’ company people, "What on earth did you put inside my head!?"

He quickly realized that the ’Blue Eyes,’ who had always seemed superior from their first meeting, were unusually patient today. Under normal circumstances, he would have been punished the moment he uttered the first word.

In response to Vadim’s interrogation, ’Blue Eyes’ actually took the time to explain, "For many years, we have been investigating that blank period in history, and all our investigations ’ till now have led us to a common concept—time, a realm that is beyond our current technology to touch."

"What are you trying to say?"

"After you woke up the last time, you searched for information about the year 2141. You must have noticed something off."

After saying this, ’Blue Eyes,’ considering Vadim’s limited intelligence, kindly explained further, "We are certain that a part of history that once occurred has been erased, including Lie Ge, Dargon you saw; they were real people who existed in that era.

"Therefore, we started researching time, and the ’Overload System’ is a byproduct of that research. However, it can’t actually control time in the true sense. It only alters the rate of things so that the user briefly feels as if everything around them has come to a halt."

"And the Overload Type IV in your head now is the latest result of the company’s research. As for the principles behind it... I won’t bother explaining them to you. The one thing we didn’t anticipate was that it made your thoughts resonate with some of the traces left in this city."

Vadim could hear the confusion in ’Blue Eyes’ voice, as if even she didn’t understand why the resonance happened.

The very word "resonance" seemed to go against precise scientific principles.

The research on Psychic Abilities was destined to be a long-term topic, especially since a significant change had occurred in the way Psychic Abilities existed after that blank period in history.

Compared to that era when Spiritual Energy was prevalent, today’s Psychic Ability Users seem to exist only by "struggling to survive."

"I understand,"

Although Vadim still couldn’t grasp the meanings of some of the terms, he did understand the company’s intention—having him continue to play the role of Little Mice to help the company find clues about the blank history.

"Rob Lucci, is my next mission to find a way to approach that man?"

"No, he will actively seek you out, and before that... don’t get killed by someone else, the clinic’s doctor who transported you back here was seen by quite a few people."

For Vadim, there were no good news tonight.

The remaining remnants were completely annihilated, the Investigation Bureau had listed him as the top statistic subject, his body’s cyborg parts were severely damaged, to the extent that the activation time for "Overload Type IV" was also limited, "Given the damaged state of your cyborg body, fully activating ’Overload Type IV’ can only last about 2 seconds, and this will bring tremendous strain to your body, if you can’t escape the danger within 2 seconds, you will fall into a state where you are at the mercy of others."

seconds was a delicate number.

It was exactly what allowed Vadim to be reduced to a level where he could potentially be defeated by an ordinary person, which might also be the only reason he had survived.

To that person, Vadim, who had completed the "evolution", was not worth being personally killed.

Perhaps out of some twisted sense of amusement, the other party seemed to enjoy seeing Vadim struggling to survive in District Four.

The Anomaly Investigation Bureau, and his enemies.

"Be prepared before you walk through this door; the world outside has changed from the District Four you’re familiar with."

This was Blue Eyes’ final advice to Vadim as an observer, "Your previous missions are over, now try to survive in this city."

.....................

Meanwhile, at the Investigation Bureau.

The intruders who were once full of confidence before the operation were now reduced to just one person.

Just minutes ago, he had witnessed his accomplices convulsing on the ground after being shocked by an electrical trap that seemed to come from nowhere.

He didn’t know how long this game had been going on, but for them, there was nothing fun about it, as he watched his companions one by one fall victim to those unnervingly bizarre traps.

And now, the plan labeled "Central Control Room" was before his eyes.

The man’s eyes were wide open, filled with bloodshot veins.

This was his only chance.

They had encountered a hacker’s attack within the Investigation Bureau, someone had suggested that since the opponent was a hacker, he must be hiding somewhere, watching them through surveillance cameras.

That is to say, as long as they could find the hacker’s hiding place, they could turn the tables in the confrontation.

The man gathered all his strength and kicked open the door of the control room.

He pointed the gun at the person inside the control room, somewhat dazed, he could never have dreamed that the one who had been toying with them was just a girl who looked to be only high school-aged.

But immediately after, just as the man was about to press the trigger, his entire face twisted with intense fear.

"You—!"

His voice got stuck in his throat, and it took a good while before he started screaming, "Blue Eyes, why is it you! How could it be you!"
