Xing put his hands on his hips and asked, but seeing that the old man's expression remained unchanged, he scratched his head in confusion.
"Could it be that we failed? That shouldn't be the case..."
No, you succeeded.
The passage of time has made the old man no longer wear his emotions on his face, but Qiong can keenly sense that the old man's body is trembling uncontrollably.
"I remember now."
Chadwick lowered his head, his voice hoarse and heavy.
“I saw something…weapons, endless casualties…it’s all related to me…”
"I am indeed a member of the Genius Club."
Chadwick looked up, his gaze sweeping across the starry sky, March 7th, and fireflies. His eyes regained their clarity, but also carried the weight of a heavy past.
"Children."
He pleaded softly, his eyes filled with earnestness.
"Can...you help me?"
Chadwick undoubtedly trusted the nameless man, who enjoyed a stellar reputation and was highly regarded by all, more than the company and family that imprisoned him there.
Although he couldn't see through the gray-haired boy, the others were undoubtedly children driven by justice and kindness.
He was quite confident in his judgment.
"No problem, Master."
Qiong immediately took out her phone and sent a text message to Haitu.
This was just a necessary detail of the disguise. With Brownie's cooperation, he and Hacker Rabbit immediately hacked into the Daydream Hotel's system and used EtherEdit to reverse locate and track Chadwick.
Following the clues, they found Chadwick's room in reality.
"Firefly, you stay here and protect Master."
"no problem."
"Ah Qi, Ah Xing, let's go."
After leaving the dream and meeting up in a hotel in reality, the three found the hotel that Hacker had located.
The Jizo Guardian Soul's entry restriction system unlocks instantly.
"A-Qiong, why are you so skilled at this?"
March 7, whose manners still need improvement, launched a sarcastic remark at Sora.
Without saying a word, Qiong turned the doorknob and went inside.
"This is also part of pioneering, so pioneers are those who dare to explore and challenge things that ordinary people cannot do!"
"Don't say such passionate lines at a time like this! Wait, don't I feel like I've made a similar comment before?"
March 7th followed Qiong's footsteps while complaining.
"Ugh, this room feels so cold and damp, like an ice cellar."
She shivered as she entered the room.
The guest rooms were lifeless, the only signs of life being the breathing, pulsating bubbles in the dream pool.
"Master, Master? Where are you?"
Xing lifted the Dream Pool and looked at the gap below.
"Why did you bring your master along? And how could anyone possibly be in such a crevice!"
March 7th feels like I've completely become a吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to complain or criticize) machine.
"Oh, that makes sense."
Xing looked up and noticed a dusty suitcase. She walked over and knocked on it.
"Master, are you inside?"
"..."
March 7th was utterly speechless.
"Stop knocking, Master is in the Dream Pool."
Qiong tapped Xing on the head.
"Huh? The Dream Pool?"
Xing blinked her adorable big eyes and peeked over, asking, "Where is it?"
"It's right here."
Qiong Huan reached his right hand into the dream pool and scooped up a crystal-clear bubble from the liquid.
The moment it leaves the liquid surface, the bubble begins to rise slowly until it hovers in mid-air.
"what is this?"
Little March's eyes widened.
"This bubble...is it Master?"
Hoshino looked surprised, then immediately understood.
"I understand. The Soul Palace destroyed Master's physical body but preserved his soul."
"You don't know anything!"
In the end, Xiao Sanyue couldn't suppress her urge to complain.
What soul exists in this world?
"Qiongzai, what should we do?"
Xing tilted her head and bumped it against her younger brother.
"Of course, we'll keep Master's soul alive."
If Qiong is not mistaken, the company and family extracted material from the bottom layer of Chadwick's brain, allowing his mind to continue to exist.
It's hard to say whether he's still alive.
However, since consciousness exists, theoretically there is a way to revive Qiong, who possesses Feathered Dust, Earthly Treasury Soul, and is a 'genius' in the field of life.
Qiong immediately activated the Trailblazer's finishing move, calling for reinforcements.
@BlackTower and Screw in the simulated universe development test group, a classic starting move.
[Innate Test of Sacred Body: Are you there?]
[Black Tower: Cannot be tested.]
The data obtained last time has not been fully analyzed yet, and the simulated universe is still being rebuilt and maintained. Every time Qiong plays, it explodes, which is a bit painful, but fortunately, the gains outweigh the losses many times over.
[The Innate Tested Holy Body: What I'm about to say, please don't be afraid.]
[Screwgoom: Don't worry, we're members of the Genius Club, we have nothing to fear.]
[Innate Test of the Sacred Body: I have just found the member of the genius club imprisoned by my family, Chadwick, the father of the Imaginary Number Collapse Pulse.]
[Black Tower: ?]
[Screw Gum: ?]
[Ruan Mei: ?]
Stephen: ?
Nguyen May and Stephen, who were originally diving, both came out after seeing the news.
PS:
Volume 1: Chapter 607 It's still too anthropomorphic.
[Mission: In the endless void, at the heart of the silent sea, burn the vast world to ashes, and return to tranquility.]
[Details: The Incineration Technique is an exquisite skill, fit for my use! I have obtained the skill inheritance of the Imaginary Number Venerable, Chadwick, and seek the Supreme Collapse Pulse Fruition.]
[Reward: 100 Crystals.]
Qiong glanced at the mission interface that only she could see, and her eyes twitched slightly.
"Commander, have you been infected by the First Saint Sect?"
【Huh? What?】
The system's simple, honest voice was filled with the clear, bewildered look of a college student.
That's all.
Qiong breathed a sigh of relief and shifted her attention back to the simulated universe test group.
[Black Tower: Explain in detail!]
[Innate Test Star Core Body: The body we encountered during our exploration of Pinocchio was an elderly man with amnesia who was imprisoned. Our Star Core Essence used the Heavenly Rank technique, the Clock Trick, to restore his memory. He claimed to be a member of the Genius Club named Chadwick.]
Xing is also in the group.
[Black Tower: !]
[Screw Gum: !]
[Nguyen Mai: !]
[Stephen: !]
[Innate Star Core Test: Why have you all become repeating machines?]
[Black Tower: Are you sure you're not joking?]
[Innate Test of the Sacred Body: Is it fun for me to joke with you? Oh, it does seem quite fun.]
[Black Tower: ?]
[Innate Tested Holy Body: Stop asking questions, I've already rescued Master from the dream that imprisoned him. @ScrewGumu, Old Screw, how come Master forgot the details of the cultivation technique? It seems to be related to you?]
The clock trick used by Star did indeed restore Chadwick's memory, but only selectively.
He regained self-awareness and some basic knowledge about the field of imaginary numbers, but all the core data and information about imaginary number collapse impulses remained a blank.
[Screw Gum: ...]
Master?
When did Chadwick become Mr. Sora's mentor?
The nickname "Old Snail" is somewhat of a derogatory term.
What are the contents of the exercise?
Even with the precise thinking and powerful computing ability of the mechanical genius Screwgoom, it took him a full three seconds to analyze this expression full of star-like characteristics.
This includes the meanings referred to in the practice methods.
[Screw Gumm: Statement: About two Amber Ages ago, Dr. Chadwick sought my help, hoping to completely erase all memories related to the Imaginary Number Collapse Pulse Weapon to prevent the knowledge from falling into the hands of the Corporation.]
[Screw Gumu: Process: I mediated and contacted Dr. Yu Qingtu, seat #55, and reached a favor exchange: Dr. Yu Qingtu would assist in the development of a specific selective memory-blocking drug.]
[Screw Gum: This drug ensures the permanent erasure of related memories and inhibits specific neuronal remodeling pathways, preventing related knowledge from being re-formed based on the original logic.]
[Innate Test of Star Core: I see.]
Xing's face scrunched up and scrunched up.
"Qiongzai, this master... doesn't sound very good?"
The members of the Genius Club mostly serve as "father figures" in the Interstellar Peace Company, and are treated like royalty.
Don't you see that even company executives have to make an appointment months in advance to see Black Tower?
He tried every possible means and racked his brains to get in touch with Ruan Mei, even if it meant being rejected. His main goal was to lick her boots.
Not only did Chadwick fail to become a father figure, but he was also hunted down to the point of having his memory erased, which is truly a disgrace.
"Our master is a good man, don't you understand?"
