The good news is that it found Moss, but the bad news is that because the executor arrived too suddenly, the original neuronal connections were forcibly severed, and his consciousness was obviously in an infinite coma. He was then irresponsibly thrown back into his original rented house by PO, and later thrown onto the street by the landlord. Xia Yixin sent the specific coordinates to Li Rui.
That night, V blocked the Consul General's surveillance cameras, and Li Rui's lingering fear was visible on the monitor.
"His family had just received compensation from the PO after extorting money from us, and then they lost contact with him. So he didn't receive proper care. Fortunately, we arrived in time, otherwise his organs might have ended up on the black market. But his current situation is not optimistic. He is in a coma. We tried to connect and wake him up, but we only got some fragmented memories."
When Moss was injured in the accident, he only had two options: either euthanasia or to connect to the neural network to guide Xia Yixin out of the experimental system. It was not Moss himself who made this choice, but his family, because the latter could receive a large amount of compensation.
From the images transmitted by Li Rui, Xia Yixin saw familiar scenes from the apocalypse, as well as some of Moss's own memories. He had been a thief and good-for-nothing since childhood, and he had even stolen the experimental system. After entering the experimental system, just as she knew, he regarded himself as a "king" and intended to establish a centralized hierarchical society, but it was thwarted by the brothers Chen Zhe and Chen Qian.
The scene that followed was quite chaotic, but Xia Yixin discovered an incredible sight within it.
She herself.
If it were just her current appearance, she might be able to guess that she was the "First Generation Xia" she had met before, but in that fleeting scene, the background was a post-apocalyptic world, yet she was wearing a white uniform from the Allied Powers.
She remembered clearly when she entered the system that she had never seen Moss, let alone met him face to face.
And it's not just one version of her; there are many others with different outfits, hairstyles, and even ages.
Li Rui had seen these things over there as well, and she guessed, "These might be hallucinations he's having, not real ones. Xia, you don't need to worry about it too much; this doesn't make sense."
Xia Yixin murmured thoughtfully, "It is indeed unconventional."
Although Moss is currently confused, it at least proves one of her previous guesses, or rather, it broadens her thinking.
His previous statement, "No matter how many times you try, you can't change anything!" is true.
There may be multiple parallel worlds, and in the future, or in the past, she has tried to leave this interstellar plane many times. What is certain is that, so far, neither she nor any of them has succeeded.
Suddenly, she remembered a point she had overlooked.
The "First Generation Natsu" once told her, "The only way to break the rules is through accidents." If that person were herself, she wouldn't say something meaningless.
But what does "accident" mean? A thought flashed through her mind, but she missed it.
"Xia? Xia, are you alright?" Li Rui's anxious voice brought her back to her attention.
Xia Yixin looked at Li Rui's worried face on the screen and asked, "What are the chances of Moss recovering?"
Li Rui glanced back at the young man surrounded by various instruments and shook her head. "Zero. His will to survive isn't strong either. We originally wanted to talk to him properly, but he was just unlucky, plus he had some irresponsible relatives. This kind of thing is too common in Zone B. He probably has 12 hours left, and he may be brain dead."
Xia Yixin knew that Moss was not a good person either. He had killed the original owner in order to seize the experimental system. Like the unemployed people in Block B, he had a lot of murder cases on his hands. The only person he was careful to protect was one person.
"Can you contact that female strategist, Li?" Xia Yixin asked.
Li Rui guessed something as soon as she heard it, and hesitated, saying, "She took our hush money and then went into hiding. We can find her, but if the executioners find out that she has a third kind of relationship with Moss, she will probably be burned at the stake."
“Moss is in unrequited love, and she doesn’t know it.” Xia Yixin had previously seen fragments of the girl’s memories, and combined with Moss’s memories, she was certain that Moss was indeed in unrequited love. “At least let him see her one last time before he dies.”
Li Rui finally nodded.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Yixin frowned slightly. Now that Moss's lead had been completely cut off, she had to find a way to enter PO's research lab and get to the experimental chamber. The hidden data might be her only clue.
She was planning to subtly ask Lu Yuan about it the next day, but unexpectedly, Lu Yuan found her first.
"Didn't you want to know who changed your 'target'?"
At the usual breakfast time, Lu Yuan's slow and deliberate words surprised Xia Yixin. What surprised her even more was the suppressed murderous intent and coldness in his eyes when he said those words.
As expected, she was right last time. She had a feeling that the "wind" she was waiting for was coming.
A full week has passed since Xia Yixin led everyone in Lab 09 to distribute supplies, and the topic of "equality for all" has successfully taken hold.
Last night, two Sky Cities witnessed a large-scale rebellion by B-level gene users against the Enforcers.
Although it was quickly suppressed, it alerted some of the protagonists who were quick to react. Lu Yuan received another message from Eden, this time even more intense and resolute than before.
He was instructed to immediately take Xia Yixin to Eden to "discuss countermeasures" with those people.
After breakfast, Lu Yuan led her onto the interstellar shuttle that led directly to Sky City.
