Chapter 191: “you Have A Little Sister!”
After seeing Yuan Zhu and the others’ reactions that exceeded his expectations, the Mechanical Helmet, who was originally full of confidence, couldn’t hold it together a bit.
“Hey! What kind of reaction is this? Wait, aren’t you the Wolf King? According to the timeline calculation, you should have already gained the ability to transform into a ‘wolf beast’ by now! Isn’t that right?”
Facing the questioning, Yuan Zhu didn’t answer, just silently raised his hand and released a warm and holy Light from his fingertip. At the murder scene littered with flesh and blood debris, it was especially divine.
The latter was immediately choked up, standing there awkwardly, fiercely knocking his own helmet and muttering in confusion: “This shouldn’t be! I’ve clearly read that information; the other party is supposed to be the First Generation Dragon Medicine Receptor!”
At the same time, Yuan Zhu, who had nothing to do with the wolf, also fell into thought.
Although the other party was talking nonsense with no connection to the facts, his family address (Running), name (Zhu), and encounter with the Sacrifice Ritual all matched. It’s just that the subsequent content was completely wrong, but this might not necessarily be the other party’s fault.
He thought that if the Great Desolation Immortal Scripture hadn’t come with him, perhaps the original owner wouldn’t have died at the Sacrifice Ritual?
It’s just that what eroded him might not have been garbage Shadow Pollution, but another Wolf-Type Evil God. Then he would acquire a Curse, and lacking Soul Firewall + Game Sprite protection, he would quickly be eroded, lose control, and then be exposed.
Then it would be perfectly reasonable to be captured by the Wolf School, which was also researching ‘werewolves’, undergo transformation, and become scrap; then even worse, be recycled and reused by the Frog School, suffering secondary persecution.
Ultimately successfully mutating into a ‘super individual’ and continuously bleeding to produce Dragon Medicine.
What a damn tragic yet fitting little story with Du Ling’s underlying logic; he deeply felt that the ‘future’ the other party described was actually more reasonable.
On the other side, Meng Xiyue, although no longer believing the other party’s nonsense, still expressed great joy and interest in Yuan Zhu’s tragic little story.
She couldn’t help teasing: “Hey, your future is so miserable, Wolf King! Hey, Iron Head over there, what is the Dragon Medicine you mentioned?”
The Mechanical Helmet, having failed twice in a row, couldn’t care about anything else and directly answered: “Dragon Medicine is a type of Power Magic Potion that will soon become popular on the West Coast in the near future. On the basis of accelerating the secondary synthesis of muscle fibers, it excels in extra speed, power, and Outbreak.”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but glance at Yuan Zhu a few more times. If the Wolf King hadn’t suffered the Curse and instead cultivated Holy Light, which is more resistant to pollution, what would happen to his Dragon Medicine?
Hearing this, Yuan Zhu felt strange inside: Damn, he was just planning to use Earth’s knowledge reserve to replicate a batch of cattle and horses Veterinary Medicine to benefit the Frog-Type fitness enthusiasts. And yet his fate became that of the First Generation Nine Dragon Warrior, with blood drawn to synthesize Super Warrior Serum?
Could this be the destined fate?
Even though he escaped the fate of being the First Generation Dragon Medicine Prototype, he would still by some twist of fate walk the path of ‘pharmaceuticals’ to benefit the common people?
Yuan Zhu couldn’t help but doubt the authenticity of its ‘fate, general trend, timeline’.
Seeing that several people were lost in thought, completely treating him as a charlatan seeking attention, with no desire to continue communicating, the Mechanical Helmet felt unwilling and decided to reveal another wave of information to win their trust.
Otherwise, the Side Mission would be hard to complete, and the Main Mission probably wouldn’t go well either.
So he shouted at Yuan Zhu, who was preparing to turn around to clean the battlefield and automatically pick up the deceased’s relics: “Wait! My prophecy won’t be wrong; I’ve read intelligence about you before! Give me time to think, and I’ll make you believe me!”
“Roar~oh?”
Yuan Zhu paused, making a ‘I’m very curious, please start your Performance’ expression, and politely extended one hand: “Please!”
This action, this tone, this demeanor—too humiliating! As for me, a grand time traveler…
The Mechanical Helmet began frantically recalling in his mind the file he had casually glanced at before.
Back then, he had just casually skimmed it, which gave him some impression of Yuan Zhu as the First Generation Dragon Medicine Experimental Subject. Plus, his own teammate was also an Innate Dragon Medicine Tolerant Sacred Body, so he paid attention to this aspect.
But because he hadn’t seriously read that file, he didn’t know much about the Wolf King.
To gain trust, in his view, the timeline of the Past (current) had some minor errors and twists. This kind of deviation was not unexpected for them, professional Time Practitioners.
What they had to do was to maintain the correct direction of ‘historical general trend, timeline’ at every key node that determines the world’s general trend, and confront those evil forces trying to alter history. As for other insignificant details, they could be ignored.
As for the ‘butterfly effect’ mentioned in ancient books; or in past history, every tiny variable accumulating bit by bit, eventually converging into a force that reverses the future… these claims were pure nonsense.
Understand the Inertia of the Timeline. The powerful self-Correction ability of the sacred timeline is like the human body’s immune system. Countless minor deviations and twists would all be digested by the ‘inertia of the historical general trend’.
Therefore, the problem with the Wolf King was not big; he was just a minor character anyway.
The Mechanical Helmet frantically operated his brain, integrating the knowledge learned in class with years of Mission Experience, applying it live, and then came up with a good idea!
Since the Yellow Springs Witch in front of him didn’t believe him, and the Wolf King’s future and even present were wrong, then reverse it—don’t use the ‘future’ but use ‘past’ events to convince him!
Yes!
The future is variable, but the past is Constant. Use irrefutable ‘secret events that happened’ to verify his authenticity and authority!
Originally, he was completely unfamiliar with the Wolf King’s life. But fortunately, another file in his Memory was dug up, perfectly linking with the other party.
So the Mechanical Helmet confidently jumped out and looked at Yuan Zhu: “You have a sister, right!”
Yuan Zhu jolted—oh shit, wrong again! You third-rate con artist!
Entering eating melon mode again, Meng Xiyue, who loved watching the drama without minding the trouble, very cooperatively asked: “Isn’t it normal for people to have siblings?”
But the Mechanical Helmet said: “I know his sister’s life trajectory!”
Then he looked at Yuan Zhu: “You and your sister are half-siblings from the same father but different mothers. You raised her from childhood, and your bond is deep. When you were captured by the Rain Courtyard and became an Experimental Subject, vanishing from the Human World, your sister stopped going to school and went mad searching for your traces using the clues you left. Ultimately, to save you, she chose to join the Security Bureau and unexpectedly discovered her exceptional Cultivation talent, becoming a one-in-a-million Law System genius.”
“But when she finally found you, you had long been tortured to lose your sanity and human form, becoming a terrifying ‘ultimate divine weapon’, living a life of daily exploitation and blood extraction for pharmaceuticals. Every day pumped with massive supplements, your Vitality ravaged and exploited, forcibly producing blood for drugs. In short, when needed, you’re a combat weapon sent out to kill; when idle, you’re a Meat Weapon for blood extraction, locked up and drained. Clearly half a step into the Gods and Demons tier, yet your lifespan squeezed to less than 20 years. Miserable, miserable, miserable!”
“When your sister found you, you had almost lost all reason and consciousness; she couldn’t awaken you and could only painfully bind you into a Law System weapon/summoned beast. In the following days, you constantly drained her Energy and finances. Your sister sought medical help everywhere, trying to restore your sanity, delaying her own Cultivation and having her Strength progress surpassed by other geniuses of the same tier. Finally, while handling a Crisis, she encountered a powerful enemy, suffered severe injuries, and you were lost in that battle.”
For a moment, Yuan Zhu was actually drawn in by the other party’s fluent little story.
Especially since while briefly describing this tragic little story, the other party inserted many small Easter eggs of childhood interactions between siblings from the sister’s perspective.
It was told so convincingly, as if it were real, all to gain trust.
Yet it left him stunned: I don’t know about this at all!
Yuan Zhu: “???”
Holy shit, no way! Is my script this tragic and miserable? I’m actually a classic drag-down villainous cannon fodder waste older brother, whose main function is to be a summoning beast for my younger sister? To achieve her [Law]?
Wait! That’s not the point. Where the hell did I get a younger sister from?
Calmed down, Yuan Zhu questioned: “Where did you learn all this, such detailed information?”
Mechanical Helmet: “In a file about your younger sister. She is one of the rare geniuses in the New Federation [Security Bureau] within the next 20 years, of high moral character, with many admirers, strong infectiousness and leadership, cultivated as a core seed. And after you were recovered by the [Security Bureau], you also brought [Dragon Medicine] blood into the Security Bureau, adding a highly cost-effective ‘binding material’ to the [Investigation Team]. The intelligence I provided might have been completely wrong from when you started cultivating [Holy Light]. But the secrets revealed in my story should match the behavioral patterns between you siblings, which may well be another ending for the two of you.”
Yuan Zhu’s focus was different: Holy shit, in the end, I still couldn’t escape the fate of being drained of blood, right? Finally no longer drained by the [Frog School], only to be caught by the [Security Bureau] to continue being drained for the benefit of the masses?
Taking a deep breath, Yuan Zhu looked at the other: “Your story is well told, very touching. However, I don’t have a half-sister from the same father, only a half-younger brother from the same mother. You probably crossed into the wrong world, right?”
Mechanical Helmet was struck as if by lightning: “What? That’s impossible! How old are you this year?”
“18.”
Mechanical Helmet stubbornly said: “Could it be that your timeline diverged eighteen years ago?”
Yuan Zhu: “Couldn’t it be that you crossed into the wrong parallel world? Fine, given how hard you’ve performed, even if I don’t believe it, I’ll still give you sufficient respect. Anyway, let’s just say you’re a future person who crossed into the wrong parallel world.”
Meng Xiyue had a look of disgust: “Tch, so not a real future person after all. The appeal dropped by more than half instantly.”
“No! There must be some problem somewhere.”
A Miao interrupted the other’s performance art: “Alright, good thing we didn’t have expectations of you. Anyway, you’ve preliminarily earned our trust. Now let’s talk about our remuneration, the cause of this incident, your purposes, and how we can escape? Also, don’t use your so-called ‘confidential intelligence from a false future’ as remuneration, pointing out how we can get rich. Credibility too low, bring out some substantial profit.”
“I…!”
Mechanical Helmet was now filled with a stifled sense of powerlessness, even starting to doubt itself. Could it really be an unknown parallel world? But as far as he knew, ‘parallel universe theory’ had long been disproven; there has always been only one timeline, the [Sacred Timeline], otherwise why would they need to maintain it?
Time, as expected, is not as simple as imagined. The end of playing with time is often being fooled by time.
Soon, he adjusted his mindset.
Under successive blows, he was no longer so confident in his ‘future knowledge.’ So after hesitating, he decided to simply expose himself:
“The space we are in right now is a sealed ‘Space-Time Fault.’ Simply put, from the moment you entered the [Star Realm Bank], the entire bank’s ‘time-space’ was temporarily peeled away from Du Ling reality and thrown into the [Spirit Layer] for buffering and isolation, forming an independent ‘Space-Time Bubble.'”
“The outside of the [Bank] looks like the [Spirit Layer]. But it’s not the [Spirit Layer] where Taixi City is located at your time point. Nor is it the future’s [Spirit Layer], but in a disordered state similar to the [Nightmare Bubble Layer], so you can’t escape. Once you leave the [Bank], you’ll get lost in the time fog. The good news is that this ‘Space-Time Fault’ won’t last too long; theoretically only 3 hours, and 1 hour 20 minutes have already passed.”
“As for our mission, it is to arrive at this current space-time, this time segment, to prevent an important item from falling into the hands of Buddhist forces, correcting the course of history. Unfortunately, the strength of this Buddhist existence far exceeds the [Gate] level. Therefore, after the ‘Space-Time Fault’ formed, this sealed independent ‘Space-Time Bubble’ not only resides in the [Spirit Layer] to buffer external impacts, but also connects to the origin of Buddhist pollution behind the [Gate].”
“[Gate] is a ‘connector’ that communicates with the Buddhist origin. Although the other side cannot directly arrange forces to invade, it can cross the fuzzy timeline to send power into the [Gate] for infiltration. That’s why there are continuously ‘Buddha Cocoon parasites’ being hatched; that Buddhist Expert can temporarily mobilize endless energy (power limited by the [Gate]) to hatch and reinforce [Buddha Cocoons]… If left unchecked, the power flowing out from the [Gate] will continuously spread and erode bit by bit, twisting and eroding this fault, and our situation will become increasingly passive.”
Meng Xiyue: “Oh! I roughly get it. As long as we hold out for the last 1 hour 40 minutes, we can go home?”
Mechanical Helmet retorted: “Not that simple. If this time point isn’t corrected, the trajectory of the world you’re in will undergo microscopic shifts! Overturning the fates of many people.”
Meng Xiyue was undaunted: “But we live in the present. The ones who should worry are you. Whether the timeline changes or not has no impact on me right now. In fact, it might even be a good thing; at least this fool won’t be caught and drained of blood…”
Yuan Zhu: I advise you to be polite!
