On the huge screen, a blurry phantom of a human figure slowly emerged. After breaking through the constraints of pixels, half of its body poked out as if it was a ridiculous scene in a dream.
He looked at the woman in front of him and slowly nodded. [Welcome back to the Continuation Institute, Dr. Mei Lee. Do you have any orders?]
"I want to see the teacher."
Li Mei said straightforwardly.
[The Creator, Shah, is in a meeting.]
"Then leave a message. I can wait here."
[I'm sorry to inform you that Mr. Shah may return to the laboratory directly later. The possibility of receiving a message is not high.]
"Message from the laboratory. I have the authority to call the teacher."
[Recorded for you, please wait.]
The human figure nodded and once again spoke in the indescribable electric voice. [In the meantime, please wait patiently. If you have any needs, please let me know at any time.]
Li Mei did not speak again.
In all fairness, the Continuation Court was undoubtedly a strange, loose, and secretive organization compared to the Directorate of Defense, which mainly coordinated the overall situation.
As the keeper of most forbidden technologies and miracles, and the department that maintained the three major restrictions of the present realm, its main body was hidden in a secret border. It was heavily sealed, and even the intention to explore its existence was a crime.
And what most people really came into contact with was the various subordinate institutions derived from the Continuation Institute itself.
For example, based on the most advanced internal life technology, hospitals all over the present realm and the border, and the Eternal Fund, which operated as a purely independent investment fund.
Unlike the technical department, which mainly applied to the exploration of the present realm and high-precision technology, the Continuation Institute was not engaged in development. Instead, it was dedicated to extinguishing all kinds of technology that would cause bad consequences. Even if it could not be extinguished, it must be blocked. Even if it could not be blocked, the entire area must be thoroughly cleaned …
For many people, this department dedicated to maintaining the balance of the present realm and the border was too mysterious. It was so mysterious that 90% of the staff who worked for it had never entered its headquarters. If one wanted to get in touch with the staff at the headquarters, they must use a special network port and an AI that could completely isolate the memetic virus.
Just like now.
After about half an hour of waiting, the phantom of the AI suddenly disappeared, and it was replaced by a thin man. He seemed to be quite young, but it was hard to tell.
He was sitting on a chair in front of a window. Outside the window was the vast ocean, but the scenery inside the window was not like a luxurious and elegant resort hotel. Instead, it was as monotonous and serious as a sterile operating laboratory.
Strictly speaking, this was indeed a laboratory.
Everything, including the endless ocean inside and outside the room, was the experimental territory of Shah, the creator who specialized in marine ecology.
"Mei, what's the matter?"
He seemed to have just returned. He took a sip of coffee and joked, "Since you graduated from the Ivory Tower, you haven't taken the initiative to contact me, your mentor. Is there something wrong with this year's ocean current operation?"
"Teacher, my work is flawless. Please don't question my professionalism."
Li Mei said seriously, "It's not my work that went wrong, it's my daughter … If I'm not mistaken, you should be involved in this Witch's Night, right?"
"Ah, yes, but I'm only responsible for providing technical support. The main operation and responsibility are done by a few other people."
Shah shrugged indifferently. Although in principle, it must be kept confidential, such an insignificant matter would not make a creator lie to his student.
Soon, in the report submitted by the AI, he saw the content about Fu Yi. He was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed and gloated.
"It's the fault of Niffenheim. Hahahaha, this is the first time I've seen that guy with a straight face encounter such a problem. Hahahaha …"
No matter what, this old friend of his was really too unlucky ….
Because of two interfering factors, when the Witch's Night was launched, the database introduced by the invitation letter had an unexpected sequence change. Therefore, under certain special circumstances, the proportion of genetic factors in the DNA test would be too high, leading to a slight possibility of identity identification errors.
In other words, it may cause confusion in the identity of relatives within the same generation.
How tragic!
How unlucky must he be to step on such a trivial landmine on the second to last day before the special honor of 'zero mistakes in 50 years'?
"No wonder he ignored me during the meeting. I took out my collection of lame jokes, and he rolled his eyes at me … So that's why, that's why … Hahahaha."
Shah laughed so hard that tears almost flowed out of his eyes. "Thank you, Mei. I'll keep this report well. No, I'm going to add ten points to your year-end evaluation. This report will definitely add a lot of joy to tomorrow's lunch meeting …"
Li Mei already had a deep understanding of this tutor's unpredictable and unreliable personality. But seeing his reaction, Li Mei heaved a sigh of relief.
"Teacher, since you said so, are you willing to help me?"
"Of course, it's rare for a student to ask me for help. Isn't this the sense of accomplishment of being a teacher?" Shah smiled slightly. "It just so happens that I've been very free recently."
But after he finished speaking, his expression became solemn, and his eyes became serious.
"Pinocchio, grant Li Mei temporary level three cognitive authority, temporarily remove the information shield, and perform cognitive interference on other unrelated persons —"
What he was about to say next would be a real secret.
On the screen, the phantom of the AI Pinocchio flashed by. In an instant, the room where the terminal was located was physically isolated, separated from the outside, and the cognitive interference had already taken effect.
The language had been disconnected and dislocated. Whatever Shah said next, except for Li Mei, even if others were eavesdropping and recording, they would only hear some garbled syllables and the warning sound unique to the Continuation Academy's secrets.
Only with such a degree of intelligence operation could it ensure that the world of ordinary people was isolated from threats outside the present world, and the secrets would always be kept in the hands of those who were qualified and able to accept them.
Seeing Shah's serious expression, Li Mei's heart, which had just been relieved, was in her throat again.
"What's going on? Is it a problem with the Witch's Night? "
Shah nodded, pulled up the records of Pinocchio's current air, and directly transmitted them to Li Mei's terminal, forming a huge and detailed light screen record.
In the countless complicated observation records, Li Mei's scholar intuition was keenly aware that something was wrong at first glance.
"The internal depth index … is changing?"
"Yes."
Shah nodded. "Although it is normal for a similar environment to appear in the Witch's Night, the computing department has come up with a preliminary guess through the analysis of the index and spectrum … I'm afraid this senior of mine isn't all out of kindness."
Li Mei was stunned.
Because the preliminary internal report of the Continuation Academy had appeared in front of Li Mei's eyes.
Li Mei did not have time to read it line by line. She flipped directly to the final conclusion, then frowned when she saw the words marked in red.
[Abyssal Evolution Theory], [Doomsday], [Food Chain], [Rancher].
— Destructive factor!
The research of the Witch's Night was actually related to the existence of the Element of Destruction!
And it was the rancher himself who had the most terrifying impact on the present world!
The so-called destructive factor itself represented a possibility of the present world being destroyed. In other words, if a certain condition was met, it would inevitably cause the present world to be destroyed.
Regardless of whether it was strong or weak.
And what the rancher himself represented was the cycle of the deformed food chain.
As long as the phenomenon of the strong preying on the weak existed in this world, it would never die out. Like a stubborn disease and cancer, it parasitized the present world, pervasive.
Over the years, there had been countless scholars who had carelessly frozen, brainwashed, and deformed the rancher itself. Even if it was the creator … could she be 100% sure that she would not be affected by hell?
No one dared to talk nonsense. Otherwise, where did the Golden Dawn come from?
"On the bright side, maybe this creator is engaged in ecological research related to the rancher," Shah comforted.
Schach comforted him. "Besides, with the protection of the Astronomy Society, we can forcibly pull her out when necessary. Well, that guy Niffenheim will definitely help. After all, this was caused by his mistake at work."
With the two creators guaranteeing Fu Yi's safety, Li Mei heaved a sigh of relief. The excitement on her face slowly faded, and she became pale as if she had been ill for a long time.
"Other than that, let me see … According to the reports of the Clearers and the Observation Team, most of the explorers should have a considerable degree of growth inside and are about to complete the preparation stage."
Shah scratched his chin, then glanced at the clock. He used the time ratio formula in the report to do a brief calculation in his mind. Then he nodded. "She should be able to use the remains in about a few minutes. At that time, according to the internal laws of the Witch's Night, her avatar will transform according to her own wishes and the lineage it belongs to, and the lineage will also support her.
The others should have their own avatars by now. I haven't chosen one yet. If she doesn't mind, I can at least provide her with some advice and help when she advances … "
After a pause, he smiled helplessly. "But she shouldn't like creatures like octopuses or sea monsters, right?"
It couldn't be helped. After all, the records of marine creatures were all ugly creatures.
A crisp snap of fingers sounded.
In Shah's laboratory, countless instruments sank into the ground. Then, a huge instrument rose from the floor. Countless cables were connected to each other, forming a huge steel chair behind Shah. Then, a mask slowly fell down.
A special passage for spirits to enter had been prepared for Shah.
"Wait a moment. I'll be back soon."
Shah put on the mask, and his consciousness sneaked into the framework of the Witch's Night through the huge network of source substances. Then, he quickly returned from the Witch's Night.
He took off the mask, opened his eyes, and looked at Li Mei with a strange expression.
"Did you find other creators?"
"Hmm? No … "
Li Mei shook his head blankly. Then, he saw Shah lowering his head to operate the instrument in his hand. Then, he frowned. "The four creators in charge of the project in the Continuation Institute didn't do anything to her … Strange. Could it be the Dongxia lineage?"
"What's the matter?" Li Mei asked anxiously. "Is there a problem?"
"Ahem, to be exact, there's no problem at all."
Shah pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "Your daughter eats well, sleeps well, and has a much more normal psychological index than the average person. She's even very happy. Also, her level isn't low. There's even a rather upright, tough, and capable military officer who volunteered to be her teammate and provide her with protection.
But … "
He paused, and his expression became more and more strange. "Another creator actually chose her in advance?"
