c147: 147: Comfort Is for the Dead

Translator: CinderTL

Through the email messages, Feng Qi discovered that his future self had chosen a multi-pronged approach.

The actions taken far exceeded his original plans.

In addition to Mu Qing, his future self aimed to influence the future from various angles and uncover historical intelligence.

This undoubtedly increased the risks, introducing numerous uncertainties.

Yet Feng Qi understood why his future self had taken this path.

From the moment he learned he was destined to become a sacrifice, his future self had already cast aside all regard for life and death, focusing solely on gathering more information for him.

Haunted by lingering questions about history, Feng Qi continued scrolling through the email content.

121. Old Wang's suspicions may be correct. The Technology Research Institute is attempting to infiltrate the Tiger Soul Research Institute.

Conversely, the Tiger Soul Research Institute might also be infiltrating the Technology Research Institute, sabotaging it at the critical moment before Little Black's completion.

I'm considering...

Whether we should choose a future line where you join either the Technology Research Institute or the Tiger Soul Research Institute.

Then, using your knowledge, you could help one Domain Force destroy the other.

If we succeed, the future would undoubtedly change in profound ways.

At the same time, joining one of these factions would grant us access to valuable internal intelligence.

138. Today, Old Wang published his first article at the Tiger Soul Research Institute, aiming to redefine the cultivation system.

The article caused a sensation upon its release.

He chose to continue excelling, hoping to lure out the dark forces and establish contact with them to gather intelligence for me.

152. Old Wang's new cultivation technique has been released. His first creation earned a four-star rating.

Truly worthy of being my teacher.

His brilliance justifies any praise.

236. Old Wang's achievements continue to accumulate. Just yesterday, he received the Human S-Class Elite title and the Human Outstanding Contribution Gold Medal.

Today, Old Wang contacted me.

He's discovered something unusual about his body.

Every night in his dreams, he hears whispers echoing in his mind.

He said that if he hadn't spoken to me, he might have dismissed it as stress. But now he believes he's being invaded by some kind of consciousness.

Fearing his memories might be accessed, he's decided to take countermeasures by developing a cultivation technique to strengthen his mental fortitude.

I must resist spiritual corruption and protect my memories from being read.

278: I spoke with Liu Yue at length today, asking him about the Heaven-Reaching Road and Mu Yao.

But Liu Yue didn't tell me the truth.

He said that before the miracle found me, it indicated I wasn't yet qualified to access information about the Heaven-Reaching Road.

So, information about the Heaven-Reaching Road is indeed connected to Mu Yao.

Her appearance is like an invitation to the Heaven-Reaching Road, after which detailed information about it becomes available.

Fuck! It seems I can't get through to Liu Yue. I need to find another way to contact Mu Yao.

282: Old Wang's condition has deteriorated recently. He frequently suffers from nightmares and occasionally experiences mental lapses.

He told me the dark force has likely chosen him as the ideal candidate to spread the Bloodline Switch and is preparing to mentally control him.

However, Old Wang also revealed he has developed a special cultivation technique to strengthen his mental energy and resist external corruption.

This technique has a critical flaw: if his mental will falters, he will instantly suffer brain death.

I knew this flaw was deliberately designed by Old Wang.

He understood perfectly that if he were controlled and his memories accessed, every secret except his email would be exposed.

302. Had a video call with Old Wang today. He looked terribly haggard.

In just a few years, his temples had already turned gray.

He kept smiling throughout the call, but I could tell he was under immense pressure.

342. The Technology Research Institute has recently launched operations against the Scarlet Research Institute, and I've been caught in the crossfire. This is because I've been closely associated with the Scarlet Research Institute and even helped them develop several biotechnological advancements.

As expected, my future self was too reckless.

One wrong move could unravel everything. I hope the Technology Research Institute doesn't focus their attention on me, or I might have to leave this beautiful world sooner than expected.

352. Old Wang's health is deteriorating rapidly. In my dreams, I often see myself enveloped in mist, with voices constantly whispering in my mind.

If I'm not mistaken, that voice belongs to the Lord of the Mist.

If he had truly seized Old Wang's body, he would live on under Old Wang's identity.

This must be why Mu Yao referred to him as Wang Jinsheng.
