"I don't know."
Li Yao's eyes passed the glittering cube array of Hundred Flowers City and looked at the two stars far away.
The two stars attracted, intertwined, and confronted each other, exactly like the Xing Yao Federation and the Black Wind Fleet, which were at loggerheads right now.
Li Yao's voice turned deep and profound, as if he had seen through a secret set of instructions that had been executed since decades ago. "I only know that, if 70% of the deductions above are true, everything that my teacher has done in the past decades can be explained in another way.
"On the surface, he has disclosed the birth of the Spiriters and the subsequent plans since the very beginning. He has shown everything openly and invited the most cutting-edge specialists in the fields of crystal processors, the Spiritual Nexus, consciousness transmission, and brain meditation in the entire Federation to 'participate in the great project' and push forward the Tinder Plan together."
"Exactly."
Long Yangjun nodded. "With Professor Mo Xuan's prestige and connections in the Federation, plus the cutting-edge nature of the research on virtual life and the importance of the Tinder Plan, even if he did not invite them, the Federation, the military, the Secret Sword Bureau, and other units would've sent a lot of elite soldiers to help him monitor the progress of the project!"
"Therefore …"
Li Yao said, "The most distinguished specialists in the Spiritual Nexus, the soul, and the brain training in the entire Federation may have been in touch with the Tinder Plan and the Spiriters' Realm more or less. In the past decades, they have uploaded their consciousness to the Spiriters' Realm countless times. At the very least, they opened their brains and connected them to the Spiriters' Realm that my teacher created for research and monitoring purposes.
"On the bright side, it is because my teacher is open and aboveboard and is willing to open all his research results to the supervision of society and the government!
"Worst case scenario, is it possible that my teacher has implanted something into the brains of those experts and scholars in the past few decades while their consciousnesses were wandering in the Spiriters' Realm? It's like implanting some 'crystal processor viruses' into the crystal processors!
"If such a possibility is valid, then, at this moment, the brains and souls of the most distinguished specialists of crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus, as well as the specialists of soul training and brain studies, have been more or less corrupted by my professor!
"Wait!"
Long Yangjun was greatly alarmed. She said in a hurry, "Now that you mention it, I understand why your teacher talked to Lin Jiu for such a long time! Not you, his target is not you, but the people who are monitoring you! "
"What?"
Li Yao blinked his eyes rapidly. Every time he blinked, three to five streaks of blood would burst out from the surface of his eyeballs. "You're saying …"
"Lin Jiu, the captain of the Red Lotus Team, is indeed an unimportant person. He has been nagging you for so long and telling you the cause and effect of everything because he was trying to buy time to 'corrupt' the supervisor!
Long Yangjun suddenly spoke ten times faster than before. She said in a humming voice that was impossible for ordinary people to distinguish, "The first launch of the so-called 'Tinder Plan' is very likely to be a great scam. It has been a trap from the beginning to the end!
"It is exactly because the first launch of the 'Tinder Plan' will be tomorrow that a lot of specialists in the fields of crystal processors, the Spiritual Nexus, the Meditation Cultivators, and the brain have come to the Tinder Base from various Sectors of the Federation. Together with the heads of the local garrison, the Secret Sword Bureau, and the government, everybody has gathered and volunteered to enter the virtual cabins that Professor Mo Xuan has carefully crafted, soak in the 'neural interaction liquids', and sink into the 'Spiriters' Realm '!
"Everybody is caught in one fell swoop!
"If Professor Mo Xuan has done something to the virtual cabins and is able to control the 'Spiriters' Realm ', or at least the tiny Spiriters' Realm that he has created in the Tinder Base, lock everybody's soul inside, and invade and corrupt them like what we tasted just now …"
Li Yao took a deep breath and felt that the entire dark universe was invading his body. "Then, it will be possible for him to control a large batch of specialists in the field of crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus, as well as the heads of the local garrison, the Secret Sword Bureau, and the government in the Hundred Flowers Space Zone!"
"As for you, your application to visit the Tinder Plan is exactly what he wants!" Long Yangjun analyzed calmly.
"You are the special envoy of the Speaker of the Star Ocean Republic after all. You are going to visit such a confidential project as the 'Tinder Plan', and especially the whole process of your conversation with Professor Mo Xuan, you will certainly be closely monitored without missing a single second."
"Of course!"
Li Yao nodded heavily. "My professor reminded us many times to rest assured during our conversation that our conversation would be monitored the whole time. He was frank and open."
"Frank my * ss!"
Long Yangjun cursed, which was rare for her. "Surveillance is two-way. When you are being monitored by the many secret units such as the Secret Sword Bureau, it means that there must be some sort of 'data channel' between Professor Mo Xuan's Spiriters' Realm and the crystal processors of the secret units, right?"
Li Yao was greatly enlightened. "Therefore, when the many secret units including the Secret Sword Bureau are monitoring us, my professor can also sneak into the crystal processors of the secret units against the current through the 'data channel' that they have established?"
"Since Lin Jiu's identity is so special, and the content that Professor Mo Xuan told you is so sensitive, the units that are monitoring you must be of a very high level. The barriers and firewalls of the crystal processors must be very advanced, too," Long Yangjun said. "That is why Professor Mo Xuan has been rambling with you for such a long time in order to buy time to hack the crystal processors of the secret units without alarming anyone!"
"…"
After a brief silence, Li Yao suddenly said, "A war is about to break out. Very soon. In twenty-four hours!"
Long Yangjun's eyelids were shivering rapidly. "Why do you say that?"
"Everybody will be shocked when they make a sound!"
"Now that my professor has been planning the scheme for decades, and he has controlled all the military, political, and secret intelligence leaders in the Hundred Flowers Space Zone right now. It is also possible that he has injected the virus into the crystal processors of even more secret units in the outside world and opened the 'back door'. This is the time for him to show his true colors and make the final decision!
"His movements are too obvious. However stealthy he is, he cannot fool the other crystal processor specialists of the Federation in twenty-four hours. He is not dead and will certainly be discovered in one day!
"Unless, the moment that my professor is waiting for, the critical moment where all the super crystal processors in the Federation are overloaded and on the verge of collapse, will come in twenty-four hours!"
Long Yangjun rolled her eyes again and again. Then, she changed the topic and asked, "What is the relationship between your professor and Jin Xinyue?"
The two of them jumped from one topic to another without any pause. It would be difficult for ordinary people to understand what they were trying to say, but Li Yao immediately understood what they were talking about. "You suspect that my professor was involved in the plan that Jin Xinyue carefully prepared for almost a hundred years?
"Yes. Very likely!
"I don't know the development of Jin Xinyue and Professor Mo Xuan in the past hundred years, but judging from their relationship a hundred years ago, Jin Xinyue was very close to 'Fire Ant', another old friend of mine!
"At that time, Fire Ant and I created 'Skyfire' together, and Jin Xinyue became the secretary-general of 'Skyfire' as my only disciple of the demon race. Later, she and Fire Ant have been running Skyfire as the chief executive.
"Fire Ant was a mediocre demon emperor of the Blood Demon Sector in the beginning. He was not even on the list of the twelve demon emperors of the Pantheon of Demons. It was only with the support of the Jin Tuyi system and me that he was one of the best in the Blood Demon Sector. Therefore, Fire Ant and Jin Xinyue were in a 'symbiotic relationship'. Naturally, their relationship was very solid!
"On the other hand, Fire Ant, Professor Mo Xuan, and I went to explore Kunlun together. There, Fire Ant and Mo Xuan became close friends. In the years that followed, during the development of Kunlun, the two of them often communicated and studied together.
"Fire Ant calculated certain biochemical problems with Professor Mo Xuan's terrifying computational ability, and Professor Mo Xuan learned the mysteries of 'biochemical neurons' through Fire Ant. The 'neural interaction liquids' that he is using right now are the crystallization of biochemical technology.
"When I left the Federation and went to the depths of the dark nebula, Professor Mo Xuan and Fire Ant were already close friends.
"If Jin Xinyue did have a grand plan to revive the demon race, Fire Ant would certainly be her important deputy and know a lot of inside information. Also, Jin Xinyue was my disciple, and Professor Mo Xuan was my teacher. He was sort of her 'grand master'. Although there was no real heritage, at least that was the case nominally!" Long Yangjun quickly explained.
"Jin Xinyue's hundred-year plan involved too many things. She certainly needed a helper who was adept at the Spiritual Nexus and crystal processors and boasted high computational and deduction abilities. For example, someone who could help her hack the crystal processors of the 'traditional conglomerates'. She was close to the Fire Ant, and the Fire Ant was close to Professor Mo Xuan. Professor Mo Xuan was also her 'grand master'. He was the best candidate!"
"Exactly!"
Li Yao gnashed his teeth. "My teacher was sort of a member of 'Li Yao's group'. Jin Xinyue might not have told him the whole plan, but she only told him half of it, claiming that it was a magnificent plan to strike the Black Wind Fleet and make Li Yao's group rise. How could my teacher refuse?"
"Therefore, Professor Mo Xuan became Jin Xinyue's accomplice and part of her plan on the surface," Long Yangjun said coldly.
"It was a pity that Jin Xinyue was too smart for her own good. She couldn't have foreseen that Professor Mo Xuan had his own plan, which was a hundred times more magnificent than hers. As a result, she became Professor Mo Xuan's chess piece!
"We deduced that, if Jin Xinyue did have any plan, it would be detonated soon. That was why we were in a hurry to go to the Tian Yuan Realm to find her."
Li Yao's voice was freezing. "From what we can see now, whether or not Jin Xinyue prepared any traps for the Black Wind Fleet, and whether or not the commander of the Black Wind Fleet saw through her plan, it doesn't matter anymore!
"The collision of the two forces, the battle of the largest main force fleets in the history of the Xing Yao Federation, and the space game that will decide the life and death of the Federation and the Black Wind Fleet, are all under the control of my teacher, Professor Mo Xuan!"
Long Yangjun was about to say something, when her pupils suddenly expanded to the maximum.
A large cluster of dangerous starlight flashed in her eyes.
"What's that?"
She pointed at something not far away and mumbled.
Countless glittering stars congregated into a torrent of stars that rushed at her and Li Yao without a sound.
