Chapter 267
“This may be the hope of saving mankind!”
"But we can't wait any longer!"
"......"
Caesar's Adam's apple rolled, but he couldn't say anything, and in the end he could only reveal an unwilling expression.
Ju Mang died, Xi Guang disbanded, adoptive mother Zhen Lan died, and predecessors Qu Xingchen and Liuhua Buxi also joined the alien network one after another.
Even Caesar himself has been trapped here, serving as the first 'energy core', maintaining the operation of the alien network.
After him, it was Yu Shisan.
"But this discovery is so precious that we can't just sit there and watch..."
Watching this discovery, which could have even changed human history, slip away in vain.
Yu Shisan thought the same as he did.
"Just like the 'treasure' left behind, we can wait."
He still has nine years to conduct research on this before he needs to take over the alien network, but if there are no results, he can still hand it over to later generations to continue the research.
"Yu Shisan proved that the reason why humans become living dead after death is the same as the reason why the load of the alien network increases sharply. When a person with a body and consciousness connected to the alien network dies, the increased load of the alien network does not disappear, but continues to exist. Fortunately, the body in the alien network does not turn into a living dead."
'Liuhua Buxi' introduced the initial results achieved by Yu Shisan's research afterwards. Unfortunately, nine years was too short, and there were still many things on the alien network that needed to be improved.
The survival of the alternative network is an even more urgent matter.
"Not long after, Phyllis, the creator of the [Arena of Death and Death], came to the alien network under the leadership of Yu Shisan."
In fact, it's not just Phyllis, but also Phyllis' husband, Jiexian.

"..."
The woman with long red hair had her back to Fia who was teleporting over.
So many years have passed, and it was not until now that Fia suddenly realized that she no longer remembered what her mother looked like.
Long red hair, gentle call, soft touch.
These vague images are all that Fia can remember.
Her fingertips suddenly curled up as if in a spasm.
"...Mother...?"
Fia's voice was trembling. She poured all her thoughts into her voice, but all she got in return was an embarrassing hoarseness.
Despite the distance, the woman heard her call.
She turned around, gave a bright smile and opened her arms.
"Fia, my dear daughter."
Fia was too scared, afraid that this was just one of the dreams made up of countless thoughts, and as long as she ran forward, she would wake up and return to that dark night where it seemed like there would never be dawn.
She could only read the notes left by her mother over and over again, planning all the details of participating in the ceremony in her mind.
"This is not a dream, dear."
But this time, unlike all the scenes in her dreams, it was her mother who walked towards her.
She fell into a warm embrace.
Fia was still unable to react and could only blankly stretch out her hands.
When the embrace gave her a real sense of contact, Fia finally realized—
This is not a dream.
Not a dream!
"Mother..."
Fia couldn't bear it any longer and burst into tears.
"Mother!"
"I missed you so much! I missed you so much!"
Phyllis tightened the hug again.
"I'm here, honey."
This reunion came too late, transcending time and space, and even the boundaries of life and death.
Fia didn't know how long she had been crying, and finding her mother had already become her obsession.
Did her mother abandon her, or was she unable to return to her due to some important matter, or... did she die...
Over the long years, she counted all the possibilities over and over again, from panic to numbness, she no longer even expected the results to come.
Fortunately, at this moment, I can prove to her that all the hardships are worth it.
Fia didn't know how long she had been crying, and Phyllis didn't get impatient and waited for her dear girl to vent her emotions.
Regardless of the reason, the fact is that he abandoned the little girl and became alone from then on.
She is not a good mother, not even a qualified mother.
"Mom, please don't leave me again."
Phyllis had imagined many scenarios of the meeting. The girl might be angry, sad, and she would have to accept her questioning.
The only thing he didn't expect was that Fia would still use a coquettish tone to beg him not to leave.
Phyllis' eyes were filled with sadness, but Fia saw in them a look similar to the eyes of the alien network administrator.
The endless gears are turning quietly.
Fia was completely stunned.
A warm touch, a familiar voice.
But the person in front of her was no longer the mother she remembered.
Fia pushed the woman away fiercely, "Where's my mother! You're not my mother!"
"I'm sorry..." Phyllis felt her hands empty, and the sadness in her eyes seemed to solidify.
But no matter how similar they were, she was just a wisp of soul left by Phyllis, waiting for the arrival of her daughter whom she would never meet again.
Fia choked and finally broke down.
"Is she...dead..."
"..."
"I'm asking you! Is she dead!!!"
The expression on the red-haired woman's face instantly froze. Fia was frightened by the strong inhuman feeling, and even her sobbing and roaring stopped.
"Confirm the information - Fia."
"Content Release: To my dear daughter."
"When you see me again, you may be an adult."
The protocol was initiated. Just like the judge left behind by Liuhua Buxi, she was just a string of codes composed of thoughts that spanned time.
But the owner who created this code undoubtedly loved her daughter deeply.
Fia stared blankly at the woman who 'spoke her heart out', this was what her mother truly left behind.
"I wonder if you still remember those new dresses that your mother prepared for you? Your father said that maybe when you grow up, the fashion trend will have changed, so it's better to leave you some timeless and vulgar things. But I always imagine how you look in those dresses, so I can't help but prepare a few more. I hope you don't think your mother is old-fashioned."
"Mom has also prepared birthday presents for you for each of the next eighteen years..."
Feiya felt even more aggrieved.
“But I didn’t receive any!”
After all, this is just a letter that can be read.
"But mom forgot that you will leave the alien network eventually. These gifts will never be delivered to you."
Most people who connect reality with the alien network do not end up well.
Phyllis did not dare to risk putting her daughter in danger by sending these gifts in the alien network to Fia.
After all...are you going to leave the alien network?
The vague memories of my childhood began to gradually become clear. During the years I spent with my mother, there were indeed some abnormalities that seem difficult to understand now.
Fia remembers that when she was a child, she lived with her mother in a small wooden house at the foot of a mountain. The mountain behind was covered with wild berries. Every spring, her mother would take her to pick them and make all the berries into jam.
But she never knew where the cabin that marked her childhood was, just like she had never seen her mother again and could never go back.
If so... then mother...

"Yu Shisan once worked at the Secret Writing Institute for a short period of time. Phyllis and Jie Xian were his students."
"Jie Xian was born with a rare supernatural disease. His supernatural power is like a consciousness, which will constantly seize control of his body, turning him into a demon who is no different from the living dead and only knows how to kill. The government has listed him on the list of dangerous supernatural people."
Before introducing their achievements, it is naturally necessary to introduce their origins and background.
"After falling in love with Phyllis, in order to avoid more tragedies and for the possible future of mankind, Jiexian volunteered to become a research subject in the experiment."
Phyllis and Jiexian are husband and wife, they are Fia's parents.
The creator of the "Arena of Death and Death" is Phyllis...
"Skeleton King..."
Lin Zhipei took a deep breath. The oppressive Skeleton King turned out to be Fia’s father!
"Yes." Liuhua Buxi's tone was steady, "I once proposed changing the name to [Arena of Light and Love]."
Phyllis, who had already been put into the alien network to become the energy core but did not yet know that she was pregnant, laughed out loud.
"You are so vulgar, Senior Buxi! Hahahaha!"
Whether it is vulgar or not is not considered by the judge. After all, in his understanding of human beings, leaving a memory is a very important thing.
"Back to the experiment we talked about before, we tried to keep Boundary's body in the alien network, but at the same time guide his consciousness away."
Phyllis needs to find out the specific reason why humans become the living dead and whether it is related to consciousness - or the soul.
"As you can see, Kaiken has become the King who fights endlessly in the Arena of Death and Death. His performance is like that of a human who has become a living dead, but we have not been able to rule out the possibility that it is related to Kaiken's own abilities."
Xi Siling pondered for a moment, then raised his hand.
"Where did Jie Xian's consciousness go?"
"We prepared for him a human body whose consciousness had dissipated, but would not become a living dead."
"What's the result?"
Liu Huaqi's intuition told him that this would not end well.
"He didn't survive, but left behind an imprinted heart of the living dead."
A gray stone appeared in Liuhua Buxi's hand.
"Why were people with special abilities discriminated against in the beginning? They were believed to be related to the emergence of the living dead, because people with special abilities who have left an imprinted heart will not become living dead."
"Phyllis is convinced there must be some connection, but unfortunately, she doesn't have much time left."
It was not until Liuhua Buxi was sure that he could hear the heartbeat of a second person inside her body that Phyllis realized that she was pregnant.
Her lover had died long ago, but she firmly believed that this was his last blessing, so she gave birth to Fia despite the opposition of Liuhua Buyi and Naiwud.
Such a decision obviously consumed her life prematurely.
When Fia was almost five years old, she was awake for only five hours a day.
"Wood, I'm sorry, I have to ask you to take her out."
"...Why don't you let her stay? You're obviously so reluctant to let her go."
Naiwud's lips were pressed into a straight line. The five-year-old girl couldn't even remember anything.
Even if there are only a few years left, it would be nice to let the child see his mother more.
"Don't let my daughter watch me die. Besides, the alien network is not reality after all." Phyllis showed a pale smile, "Please, Wood."
