"Phew~"
Lin Xian plopped down onto the sofa, the silver Civilization Ball in his hand still radiating warmth. He let out a long breath and looked at KIKI, "Do you know how they establish a spiritual link with me?"
"I have a bit of a guess." KIKI leaned back, crossed her legs, and calmly analyzed, "The Civilization Preview Ball can achieve synchronization, which means it must be constructed through some kind of information network not belonging to humans. And the Phoenix Society must have realized this, so they used Chu Yan’s spiritual ability for a reverse invasion?"
"So smart," Lin Xian marveled, "Almost forgot you’re a genius hacker."
"Tsk~" KIKI smiled faintly, her eyes glinting with light, "The Foundation must be able to infiltrate the Phoenix Society through this technology from the Tower People, so you were able to establish a spiritual connection with them using the Tower People’s ’intranet,’ but there should be some cost, and it can’t be achieved through conventional technology."
Lin Xian nodded, "Chu Yan utilized the action brain of that S-Class in Dawn City, separating part of her consciousness and uploading it, so Professor Ye and my communication had that element of surreptitious maneuver."
KIKI’s gaze focused on Lin Xian, "So Chu Yan’s departure was actually a secret plan by Ye Lan?"
"Probably not." Lin Xian recalled his conversation with Professor Ye and said solemnly, "The Professor didn’t tell me in too much detail, but it sounds like Chu Yan might have realized something, and by separating her consciousness, in a certain sense... the one who left is no longer the original Chu Yan."
"So saying this, it’s likely Chu Yan could actually defect?" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Lin Xian shook his head, "I can’t imagine what the feeling of having one’s consciousness separated would be like. Even though I know her quite well to some extent, I’m not sure now. But the Foundation always valued her spiritual ability highly; she mentioned back in Akse that both the Deep Red World and the Foundation had her as the top target. So, given her power and the Foundation’s emphasis, I think she’s probably still alive, as for the rest..."
He changed the subject: "Now, using that part of Chu Yan’s spiritual power, Phoenix Society has reverse-traced many sources of contact with the Civilization Ball, uncovering many internal rebels. Looking at it this way, she’s already contributed too much for humanity."
Lin Xian hadn’t completely finished speaking. Besides establishing the spiritual link, he had personally seen Chu Yan being fully devoured by [Angel] in the simulation game, which was also to protect him. Now, Lin Xian began to gradually understand what Chu Yan had said.
"From a human standpoint, it’s difficult to understand."
"But Lin Xian, I hope you always stand from the human standpoint."
"A traitor?" KIKI asked, "Are those the rebels who have been brainwashed?"
"Yes." Lin Xian came back to his senses and looked at KIKI, "Professor Ye thinks that the Descent Faction couldn’t possibly truly command the Dark Creatures; even their own situation in Deep Red wouldn’t be much better than ours, so..."
"Are the encounters in Colorado and Hakko a result of human scheming?"
"Very likely," Lin Xian took a deep breath, "The battlefield at Dawn Center was divided, the bridges were destroyed, and even Phoenix Society’s reinforcements were gradually intercepted. A force of 3 million with strong firepower was unexpectedly scattered across 12 different railway lines, eventually losing contact entirely. Since when did the Abnormal Bodies become so intelligent?"
Upon hearing this, KIKI immediately widened her eyes and realized, "I thought it was similar to our experience on Sea Rock Island, where the Foundation dropped large decoy bombs, but now it seems the Descent Faction has often premeditated!"
"That’s right."
Lin Xian said gravely, "Their goal is to collapse humanity’s large troops all at once. Dawn Center from Asia-Pacific Continent to North America, conducted countless rescue missions along the way, hundreds and thousands of battles, saving countless survivors and survival resources, and the Descent Faction waits for the forces to gather and the large troops to migrate for a deadly strike!"
"Ay~, we’re truly in deep trouble both internally and externally."
KIKI sighed softly, "Those dark creatures, Star Abyss, and Deep Red are already despairing enough; we don’t even know how many months we can survive, and yet there’s still internal rebellion, and those scoundrels from the Descent Faction..."
She looked at Lin Xian, "Ye Lan sought you out like this, probably wanting you to hurry back to the polar regions?"
Lin Xian pondered aloud, "She knows that I learned about this news, and I won’t return immediately, so she agreed to my support, and meanwhile, Phoenix Society will gather forces in Ushuaia and Polar Kunlun to assist."
"Wow!"
KIKI exclaimed with excitement, "Now that sounds right, seems like Phoenix Society really trusts you."
"Even if they didn’t trust me, it’s not like they have a choice," Lin Xian replied helplessly, "Even without me, Phoenix Society can’t easily give up on those over 3 million people. So far, Phoenix Society, Nightwalker, North American United Front, interstellar army, European Storm Alliance have successively dispatched dozens of rescue groups deep into danger but to no avail. Ushuaia’s stationed troops are also continuously sending forces northward, with heavy casualties as the result. Only the nail bunker like Shi Weidong and the others are still making efforts in Deep Red, but from Raymond and the others’ words, it’s clear how few there are left..."
"As a Mechanical Superpower User, solving the train track problem, there’s no one more suitable than me, and thanks to that part of Chu Yan’s spiritual awareness, I’m also the only one able to remotely contact the polar Kunlun, so there’s no one more suitable than me."
