Chapter 521 - 254: Qiu Yexuan’s Discovery
For Su Jiameng, the past few days have been quite pleasant. The investigation into the fourth person has made further progress, and it seems that it won’t be long before everything comes to light. When feeling frustrated, she can spar with Qian Chen... Though she verbally claims he is weak, in reality, it’s not the case. Without using telekinesis, defeating Qian Chen is exceptionally challenging.
Of course, what pleases her most is Shangguan Ruiqi’s death. One of the nine is utterly dead, marking a great start. She believes that from now on, things will proceed more smoothly, and eliminating the nine and gathering a complete set won’t be difficult.
The only flaw is Shangguan Ruiqi’s scheming before his death, which made a simple matter slightly complicated. However, Shangguan Ruiqi overestimated himself. Even though he activated the Destruction Device installed in his brain and destroyed it, those ruthless scientists, exerting true expertise, could still extract some useful memory fragments from his brain...
With Shangguan Ruiqi’s death, she no longer pays attention to this guy, naturally unaware of how twisted and resentful Shangguan Ruolin’s expression was upon learning of his imposter brother’s death. This imposter died too swiftly, leaving him completely unsatisfied!
Following his father’s guidance, he didn’t trust the researchers stationed in the Qiming Star’s Military Department but instead chose to seek help from Uncle Gu Qidong.
Through his introduction, Shangguan Ruolin sent the imposter brother’s body to Qiu Yexuan’s research lab. Zhu Mengtong, as Qiu Yexuan’s research assistant, also accompanied her, dissecting and analyzing that brain turned to mush for several days...
"I will never agree to help you with this kind of thing again..." After several days of high-intensity work, Zhu Mengtong’s face showed an abnormal pallor. Understandably so, facing a completely mashed brain, who wouldn’t look pale?
"Haha... Isn’t this quite interesting?" Qiu Yexuan, however, was unconcerned. Though her physical ability and spiritual power weren’t exceptionally high, supporting her through several days and nights of anatomical research posed no problem. Thus, her rosy complexion formed a stark contrast with Zhu Mengtong, "Following me in dissecting this body is far better than staying in the Elementary Department taking care of those crybaby kids..."
Zhu Mengtong rolled his eyes to the sky, took off the sterile rubber gloves he wore, and tossed them into the laboratory’s trash can, "Unfortunately, my thoughts are the exact opposite. Those cute little kids are far more pleasing to the eye than a grotesque monster that doesn’t look human."
"You don’t understand the fun of it... Alright, go take a nap in the next room first, I’ll finish the subsequent analysis work." Qiu Yexuan pulled a clean, sterile non-woven cloth over the body that seemed intact and lively but had been incised all over by her. Shangguan Ruolin only requested the brain to be dissected and analyzed, but Qiu Yexuan, with extra time on her hands, decided to work on other areas as well. Had it not been for this, she could’ve completed all tasks a few days earlier.
Zhu Mengtong turned and waved goodbye, had a video call with her husband, then fell asleep clutching a soft white blanket. Little did she know, upon waking, she would face the greatest turning point of her life...
Qiu Yexuan entered tens of thousands of specimen data into the analytical room’s AI. The various data flickered bewilderingly — an unintelligible scripture for others but a perfect visual feast for her, passionate about the field since childhood. However, the more she looked, the more her brows furrowed...
"Sure enough... The teacher was right; those people at the secret research lab are a bunch of lunatics..."
Ordinary people could only manage to extract the remaining brain tissue and retrieve the memory data within. But Qiu Yexuan, a disciple of Gong Yulu, surpassed her master, excelling at merging and reconstructing the disintegrated brain tissue to extract memory data. Thus, Shangguan Ruiqi’s efforts were utterly futile before her!
Apart from some irretrievable losses, two-thirds of the memory had been assembled and extracted. She inputted keywords to virtualize the extracted memory data, projecting immediately what Shangguan Ruiqi once experienced!
She calmly watched for a whole night — over a century’s worth of Shangguan Ruiqi’s memories, yet what truly held value was compressed into the span of this one night! Shutting down the projection device, Qiu Yexuan exhibited slight fatigue, her slender fingers threading through her hair...
