Chapter 1361 - 526: Stance
Lin Xian’s pupils contracted, and he fell silent for a moment."What do you want to say?"
"During the time you were away, I had a lot of contact with the Foundation and investigated a large amount of information."
Mochizuki Masashi said at this moment: "The intelligence is perhaps slightly more than that of the Phoenix Society, but the overall conclusion should be about the same."
"Don’t beat around the bush."
"I found the Foundation very interesting. Aside from the previous Deep Red World and the world-level disaster they triggered this time, they haven’t persecuted humanity much, focusing more on research."
"I know."
"No, you don’t know. Their research seems similar to the Phoenix Society’s, studying the evolution of Superpower Users, the mutation of Abnormal Bodies, the abilities of Zombies, and geological changes, but strangely, their research progress is far more advanced than the Phoenix Society’s."
"Is it because they have the assistance of the High Tower Civilization?" Lin Xian said.
"That’s one possibility not to be ruled out."
Mochizuki Masashi said calmly: "But research can be assisted, equipment, apparatus, laboratories, were these also built in advance by the Tower People?"
Lin Xian frowned, recalling the various researches he saw at the underground laboratory outside Hengshan Pass, Qingshui Town, all the information was destroyed thoroughly, at that time Director Ding found that some of their human research was far more advanced than the Federation. The conclusion then was a guess that the Foundation knew about the apocalypse before Apocalypse Day, and began certain research very early.
"I doubted this when I had contact with them before."
Lin Xian said, "The behavior of the Foundation is indeed somewhat abnormal, at first we thought the Descent Faction had received assistance from the Dark Civilization, hence had very advanced research capabilities. At that time, the Foundation had support from many government organizations, including the Federation and Phoenix Society, so with those large-scale research labs and weapon systems, it didn’t seem surprising."
"Yes, but the issue is, these things shouldn’t have appeared before Apocalypse Day?"
Mochizuki Masashi folded his sleeves: "But from my investigation, those research, those apparatus, even aren’t just from recent years, and the most representative is precisely what we are most familiar with..."
"Deep Red World."
Lin Xian furrowed his brows: "Such a gigantic organization, with extensive reach, couldn’t have been established within 100 days after Apocalypse Day."
"Exactly, but the information we obtained from investigating Julius and others led us to believe they were previously guided by digital life and mechanical development, not involving Apocalypse Day or the apocalypse. But after Apocalypse Day, they quickly shifted to this strategy, hence overlooked that point."
"Assuming the entire system of the Foundation was established for the post-Apocalypse Day scenario?"
Lin Xian’s complexion changed instantly upon hearing this.
"Are you saying the Descent Faction appeared many years ago, and they knew about Apocalypse Day early on?"
Mochizuki Masashi didn’t speak, calmly watching Lin Xian.
Lin Xian shook his head, his expression complex: "That doesn’t make sense."
"Why doesn’t it make sense?"
"I observed the Civilization Preview Ball of the High Tower Civilization. The extinction of the Tower People was due to the hunting by another High-level Civilization. Angel Yuniaga sacrificed the remaining bodies of the entire civilization, carrying the core material of the mother star, fled into the wormhole vortex, but was destroyed by some high-dimensional weapon. The 13 Star Abysses on Blue Star were struck by these dimensional fragments."
Lin Xian said as Mochizuki Masashi closed his eyes and listened carefully to his analysis.
"So we were captured by the High Tower Civilization, and the whole world entered the apocalypse. If according to this hypothesis, it would mean the Tower People knew about their own destruction early, isn’t this contradictory?"
"Yes, your analysis is very accurate," Mochizuki Masashi said: "A civilization with time dimension control must be exterminated from a higher temporal and spatial breadth, so they don’t exist in the sense of being destroyed by high-dimensional weapons after fleeing into the wormhole. According to logical theory, when they observed their destruction on the time dimension, they were already destroyed."
Mochizuki Masashi’s words caused Lin Xian’s head to swell. He didn’t fully understand these physics concepts, but he roughly grasped the meaning.
"So, what’s the point of this prior layout? Researching superpowers, researching mutations, then handing it over to the Tower People, unless..."
Halfway through the sentence, Lin Xian suddenly stopped. His eyes stayed focused, then quickly looked toward Mochizuki Masashi.
Mochizuki Masashi also looked at him with calm eyes at this moment.
Lin Xian felt as if a thunderbolt sounded in his heart. He swallowed hard, fell silent, his eyes constantly flickering.
"I remember the Phoenix Society seemed to have a Starfire Plan, right?"
Mochizuki Masashi turned around, said quietly, and then slowly left.
On the Infinity, Lin Xian turned off the holographic communication, his face bewildered. He turned to look out the window, with gray snow swirling and dense fog obscuring everything.
"What’s wrong?"
Chen Sixuan saw Lin Xian’s expression seemed off, asked. She heard the conversation between the two earlier, but was also full of questions, not sure what Lin Xian was thinking at the moment.
Lin Xian shook his head, waved his hand: "It’s nothing."
He turned and left the cockpit, walked through the No. 1 carriage, No. 2 carriage KIKI saw Lin Xian walking over with a deep face, sitting in the swivel chair looking at him: "Did you find monsters ahead?"
"Sure, let’s be careful."
