She looked at Lu Yuan with hope; the fact that he didn't immediately get angry or take action meant that he had listened to her words.
Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, the man opposite her acted unexpectedly, saying, "If this hadn't happened, when were you planning to say these things now, hmm?"
"..." Xia Yixin was so angry she wanted to hit someone.
Just when she thought she had said a bunch of nonsense, Lu Yuan left with the words, "I will seriously consider what you said, but before that, you must not tell anyone else what you just said."
Xia Yixin never expected that her impulsive act today would have such a good outcome.
Perhaps Lu Yuan isn't truly "beyond redemption," and perhaps he can inadvertently correct the prevailing values here.
Back in her room, she received a message from Li Rui. She comforted Li Rui and the others, but also received some "bad" news.
Because of Li's incident, Li Rui and the others have had their freedom forcibly restricted by the enforcers, which is also a way to protect them.
For some reason, ten minutes ago, the surveillance video from the lab was played out, cutting off the footage of Li Rui and the others, leaving only the scene of Li and the executor confronting each other.
In particular, Li's phrase "a devil in human skin" immediately sparked a heated discussion across the entire Alliance's virtual network.
“Xia, we’ve tried to investigate, and this method of spreading the word seems very much like Zhao Jing’s. But we haven’t been able to contact her since she was transferred. We don’t know what happened to her. Could you try to find out from the Consulate General’s office where she was transferred?” Li Rui couldn’t hide her worry.
Xia Yixin nodded and comforted her, "I understand. It was my fault this time. My miscalculation caused you to encounter danger. Sister Hua, you should focus on your treatment and wait for my news. Since the person who released the video has excluded us, at least for now, they are our friend. Their purpose is likely to provoke conflict, but their methods are not sophisticated, and this matter will be suppressed soon."
Just as Xia Yixin had guessed, the Allied Powers held absolute control over the virtual network. So, whether it was an A-level or B-level gene user chatting in the combat system, words like "Li" and "third type of emotion" were blocked in other games or entertainment systems.
Xia Yixin also had V access the Consul General's system to check Zhao Jing's information.
Back when the experimental system was starting its simulation, Zhao Jing suddenly left one day, leaving behind a message that she had been transferred to Sky City No. 10. After that, due to the experimental system, there was no further news about Zhao Jing.
Unfortunately, V didn't find any information at the Consulate General's residence, but instead discovered another special place—a safe house.
“Master, based on the connection between the General Headquarters and the safe house, I can confirm that the experimental system’s data and system module are in the underground safe house. However, it is heavily guarded there. Unless my chip can connect to the equipment there, I cannot be completely certain about the floor and status of the experimental system,” V said regretfully.
Xia Yixin was surprised that Lu Yuan had hidden so much strength. She wasn't in a hurry to experiment with the system. "Don't alert him for now. Maybe we can get in through normal means." After all, this was part of their agreement.
V, on the other hand, poured cold water on her.
“Master, I must remind you that Lu Yuan is not the Lu Yan you know. Please remain vigilant at all times.”
Reminded by V, Xia Yixin realized that she had indeed lowered her guard against Lu Yuan at some point, and was no longer detached from the world.
Her initial goal was to find the truth in the system module, but things gradually went far beyond her initial expectations.
Unconsciously, she incorporated her own emotions into this world. She vaguely sensed a sense of crisis, but felt helpless.
After having lunch, and knowing that Lu Yuan had gone to deal with the video on the virtual network, she ate lunch by herself and then took a good nap.
On the other side.
Within 8 hours.
The issue on the virtual network has been resolved, and although it has indeed prompted some people to reflect, at least on the surface, peace has been restored.
Every year, hundreds of men and women are burned at the stake because of their third-degree relationships. The executioners have become so unfazed that people are gradually replacing other forms of affection, such as family and friendship, with "duty" and "rules."
Most people still believe that the third type of relationship is wrong.
However, after finishing his business that day, Lu Yuan found himself unable to sleep.
This was something he had previously thought was impossible. Even in a war zone, an extremely self-disciplined man could ensure he could fall asleep quickly to replenish his energy, but now he was suffering from insomnia.
If her words were taken seriously, they could easily constitute treason, but he found himself unable to refute them, since the negative consequences of genetic optimization had indeed appeared.
He knew things she didn't: the R-level gene users rebelled because one of them fell in love with an A-level warrior and wanted to elope with him. Their deaths later exacerbated the conflicts on the Eden.
Even after they were suppressed, they all committed suicide.
He received the news too late. For Qian Dahai, the Eden was not their "Eden," but rather a hell for those girls.
He became even more determined to get rid of them after that.
And her thoughts...
“...You are different from them.”
Suddenly, these words echoed in Lu Yuan's mind, disrupting his thoughts.
He sat up abruptly, his face grim, and remained seated on the bed for a long time before the emotions in his dark eyes gradually subsided.
