Chapter 269

From an outsider's perspective, Shen Yijing felt that Jiang Yunu's tone when he said this was very similar to the way a tutor in the first district coaxed preschool children, and his rhetoric was similar to "If you listen obediently for five minutes, the teacher will reward you with an extra piece of fruit candy that exceeds your sugar intake today."

But this piece of "fruit candy" happened to work.

In the eyes of the middle-aged man who was eager to verify Jiang Yunu's origins, this piece of "fruit candy" might be more precious than his entire underground research institute base.

"Okay, okay." The middle-aged man immediately stopped all movement, and the energy ball surrounding his main consciousness remained frozen in place. He no longer resisted the vines that penetrated the edge of the energy ball. He replied to Jiang Yunu obediently, "Look! I'm completely still. Please let me ask."

Shen Yijing found that he didn't seem to like seeing other people of the same sex also obey Jiang Yunu's words so much, which seemed to make him lose his characteristics.

This strange thought turned around in his mind, but he gently dismissed it with doubt, and then thought: If I had known this earlier, maybe Jiang Yunu should have tried to say this before, so that she could control the opponent's actions earlier and save her some energy.

Fortunately, the white-haired girl is a monster with unlimited energy, just as the middle-aged man's projection said.

She controlled the supernatural vines to circle around the other party and found that the other party was as obedient as a frightened sheep standing still. With just a thought, the vine with the sharpest tip could "swish!" pierce the center of the energy ball.

This precise sense of control made Jiang Yunu feel happy from the bottom of his heart.

All killer animals in the world probably have one thing in common - even when they are ready to have fun and relax, they habitually check the angle that will allow them to kill their prey with one blow.

Jiang Yunu confirmed the position and let the supernatural vines continue to surround the middle-aged man's "core". Then she finally gave him permission: "Now, you can start asking questions."

The middle-aged man was like a primary school student who had finally waited for the teacher to call his name and had raised his hand for a long time. His three-dimensional image showed tiny ripples of excitement.

Shen Yijing felt that he almost shouted "Report!" before asking the question.

"I..." The middle-aged man even stuttered, as if he needed to reorganize his sentences so as not to waste this precious opportunity to ask questions.

Jiang Yunu always keeps her word, doesn't mind the man's stuttering, and waits patiently.

Finally, the middle-aged man figured out what he wanted to ask.

He asked solemnly, "Where on earth are you from?"

Such a simple question is definitely not asking about Jiang Yunu's registered place of residence.

Generally speaking, the middle-aged man who could only appear as a projection had not had enough contact time with Jiang Yunu for him to know everything about this female student who skipped grades to enter the Golden Uriel Academy, let alone the family background information of Jiang Yunu who was formed halfway through.

But he had a hunch.

A mad genius is still a genius, and geniuses are often most sensitive to the subtle inconsistencies in things.

When a person spends his entire life and becomes a half-human being just to pursue the answer to a question, he will naturally be extremely sensitive to anything that may be related to the ultimate answer to this question. His pursuit of tiny clues is like a starving mad dog smelling a fragrant bone.

"I can't think of any region in the entire eight star regions that could produce an 'evolved being' like you," the middle-aged man bluntly revealed a shocking secret. "I have access to fertility information from many high-class families in the Upper Three Districts, and I also have a 'backdoor' into the medical databases of several major regions. Every year, I observe the children of parents with equally excellent genes in the most resource-rich regions. I want to see how much the natural development of these children differs from that of my cultivated bodies, and compare the growth rates of each."

The middle-aged man must have used this huge database to do more than what he said, but the amount of information was too large and it was not the main point of his expression.

And just the small amount he revealed was enough to make Shen Yijing, who was standing behind Jiang Yunu, open his eyes wide in an instant.

"In all the databases, I've never seen a child like you." The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Yunu with almost pious eyes. "I know you must come from a place I haven't been able to explore. You are simply a perfect adult who came quietly and perfectly meets my highest expectations!"

Jiang Yunu was rarely praised so devoutly, and the praise came from a villain who looked at her "hungryly".

She looked calm and listened patiently to everything the other party said.

Jiang Yunu did not hesitate much between being clever, being perfunctory and telling the truth - because she also wanted to know the truth.

So she said, "I come from a place where the sea doesn't look like the sea, the sky doesn't look like the sky, and the corpses beside me don't look like real corpses."

This is almost like a riddle.

Shen Yijing was obviously confused.

However, the middle-aged man's expression changed.

The other party's pious expression first froze, a hint of confusion revealed between his furrowed brows, and then turned into a thoughtful look.

In the end, it became a combination of sudden realization and disbelief.

"You... Impossible!"

The middle-aged man had already made a guess, but he subconsciously denied his guess at the first moment.

His 3D projection shook its head, and the new mutants around him who had already stopped attacking became agitated again.

"You are... But how could you be? This shouldn't be possible..."

"But 'the sea doesn't look like the sea', and 'the sky doesn't look like the sky'... I did create a virtual ocean and a virtual space for switching between day and night, but they were already shut down..."

The man's three-dimensional projection began to mutter to himself again.

When Jiang Yunu heard the words "stop running", she interrupted him and said, "Can I also ask how you usually stop running a space?"

The "meteor storm" that suddenly fell from the sky is still deeply engraved in Jiang Yunu's memory.

She could still clearly remember the large cracks in the "sky" formed by the meteor impact, and the strong wind, hot sand and burning sensation in her face when the "meteor" fell nearby.

To date, that was still the most embarrassing time Jiang Yunu had ever experienced since coming to this world.

The man answered Jiang Yunu's question: "There are many ways to stop a space from running. Some can be shut down directly by stopping the corresponding energy device. Others may require more radical means, because there may be 'resources' in the space that need to be crushed and recycled."

Jiang Yunu asked, “How radical is it?”

Whether in terms of strength or other aspects, the man has faced the fact that he can't do anything to Jiang Yunu.

On the contrary, he urgently needs Jiang Yunu to solve his doubts. Maybe she can even help him write the correct answer to the "problem of the century".

He told her everything he knew. "I'll activate the self-destruct system of the space. There might be a ground storm, or a meteor storm erupting from the top of the space, attacking inward, and ultimately completing the self-annihilation of the entire space. I usually call this method - 'self-annihilation'."

So there are no more doubts, no more need to speculate on your own.

This time, Jiang Yunu knew exactly where she came from.

——She had indeed escaped from a space of self-annihilation.

And that place was 100% certain to have been one of the secret research bases of this crazy genius.

She was probably indeed the so-called perfect body, the masterpiece that this crazy genius in front of him desperately desired and almost killed with his own hands.

"...You ask too many questions."

After answering the question, the man's projection suddenly muttered again.

"You're asking so many questions because you've seen space being destroyed? Have you ever left a space that was being destroyed, and did you manage to slip away?" The middle-aged man suddenly raised his head, his gaze more scorching than all his previous stares combined. He stared at Jiang Yunu, "No, that's not right. I didn't notice you. You didn't 'slip away'. The moment you were born, you were already quietly ahead of me. Then, without me noticing, you directly crushed the environmental facilities and defenses I created, and just left with your innate perfect strength, right?!"

After witnessing Jiang Yunu's speed of evolution and her strong talent, the man seemed to have become convinced that she was related to his own research, and he couldn't help but have a floating imagination about her.

In his fantasy, he "saw" an omnipotent white-haired girl who was smart and cunning since birth, and who easily broke away from the environment he created specifically for her and grew and developed freely in a place he didn't know.

Then, when she becomes very strong, she can take control of his base and even devour him. She will then return to him and show off her talent and strength to him, her "creator".

He couldn't help but start calling out, "Daughter, daughter!"

He shouted, "Did you also know that I would be here, so you came to see me specially?"
