Chapter 361 Is this the truth?
Upon hearing this, Meng Shiwan's heart skipped a beat.
She suddenly realized that things might be more complicated than she had imagined.
She knew from the beginning that the Creation Base must know a lot of secrets, but she never expected it to be like this.
The old man Xiao Yuye mentioned is likely a reincarnated individual, having been reborn ten years after the apocalypse. He might have lived longer than Meng Qingyue in his previous life, which is why he was able to plan ahead.
Meng Shiwan asked, "How many black cubes are there in total? What are they used for?"
Xiao Yuye looked at Meng Shiwan in surprise, "You didn't know?"
Meng Shiwan was also surprised, "Should I have known?"
Xiao Yuye explained, "There are four black cubes in total. Once they are all collected, they will combine and act on you. I don't know the specifics, but I do know that it seems they want to extract something from you. This is what the master wants, so he insists on capturing you alive."
And I suspect that this black cube wasn't left by the old man, so it won't cause you any harm.
Meng Shiwan asked, "How did you know?"
Xiao Yuye said, "Because the old man only knows that the black cube exists, but does not know exactly where it is, and I have to go and find it, it means that the old man did not make this black cube. Otherwise, he could have just made another one, and there would have been no need to go to such lengths to search around."
Meng Shiwan pondered, and based on her previous guesses, she could basically confirm that the black cube was left to her by Meng Qingyue.
Since it was left behind by Meng Qingyue, the black cube could not possibly harm her.
If Meng Qingyue wanted to kill her, she wouldn't need to go through such a complicated scheme spanning two lifetimes.
So what does the black cube want to extract from her?
Meng Shiwan was startled. The only thing about her that was worth remembering was...
system.
What the old man wants is the system?
The system heard Meng Shiwan call out to it, "What do you want? Do you want to buy something with crystal cores?"
Meng Shiwan was speechless. "It's nothing, go have fun, you idiot."
System: "Why are you cursing at me for no reason?"
Meng Shiwan couldn't understand why the old man wanted this simpleton. Did he covet its abilities?
Furthermore, if Meng Qingyue left the black cubes so that she could collect them all and then extract the system, then it means that there is a problem with the system.
In her previous life, Meng Qingyue touched upon the truth of the apocalypse ten years ago, but ultimately failed.
Then Meng Qingyue devised a way to go back in time, leaving this mess for her to start over, and even leaving the black cube as a clue.
If the ultimate purpose of the black cube is to target the system, it means that the system definitely has a problem, and a big one at that.
Thinking of this, Meng Shiwan felt a chill run down her spine.
She dared to keep these guesses to herself, afraid that the system might overhear them.
This is terrifying! The system that has been with her all along, helping her get to where she is today, helping her awaken and replicate her superpowers, helping her expand her space, build her base, and achieve what she has today, actually has a problem?
What exactly is the problem? Where did it go wrong?
The system has never done anything to harm her; in fact, it has always helped her. So where exactly is the problem?
All the system needs is... crystal nuclei.
Meng Shiwan dared not think any further; she felt a chill run through her body.
"Where is that old man you mentioned? Is he at the Chuangyuan Base?"
Xiao Yuye shook his head, "No, he's hiding very well. I only know he's in the United States, but I don't know exactly where."
Meng Shiwan asked, "What research do you have on me? What is the purpose of that exquisitely crafted cage you brought?"
Xiao Yuye said, "That cage will restrict all your abilities. Once you're locked inside, you'll be completely at their mercy, unable to use any of your great skills. It's designed to capture you alive."
The Chuangyuan base also has many instruments prepared, all for extracting something from your body.
Meng Shiwan: "Do you know anything else?"
Xiao Yuye squatted weakly in the cage. "That's all. That's all I know. I've said everything I need to say. Kill me if you want. I hope you can win. Kill the old man and destroy the Chuangyuan Base to avenge me. I worked so hard for them and did so many things. Even if I didn't succeed, they shouldn't abandon me so easily."
Meng Shiwan chuckled, "You hate the Chuangyuan Base? That's the place you built with your own hands."
Xiao Yuye chuckled, “What do you mean by ‘established from scratch’? I’ve already said I’m just a puppet, a pawn that can be discarded at any time. They want me dead, they want me dead, and I want them dead too. I’m selfish. I only have one life. Whoever crosses me is my enemy.”
Meng Shiwan stood up, gripped the edge of the cage, and disappeared into the small garden.
When it reappeared, it was already at the edge of the base.
She opened the cage door and said to him, "Let's go."
Xiao Yuye looked at Meng Shiwan in disbelief, clearly not expecting that she would actually let him go.
He had caused Meng Shiwan a lot of trouble before. Given Meng Shiwan's personality, shouldn't she have killed him? Why did she let him go?
Is this still Meng Shiwan?
He tentatively crawled out of the cage. "Are you really going to let me go?"
Meng Shiwan took out a backpack filled with food and drinks and threw it into Xiao Yuye's arms. "Let's go, let's get back to Chuangyuan Base alive."
Clutching his backpack, Xiao Yuye felt like he was dreaming. He stared at Meng Shiwan in horror, "Are you out of your mind? Not only did you let me go, you even gave me food? Are you really that kind of person?"
Meng Shiwan gritted her teeth, forcing a smile, "If you don't want to leave, fine. I have 108 ways to kill you. Want to try them?"
Xiao Yuye shuddered, grabbed his backpack, and ran away as fast as he could without looking back.
Regardless of why Meng Shiwan released him, as long as he is released, that's all that matters.
Who would want to die if they could live?
Meng Shiwan watched his retreating figure with a deep expression.
Killing this useless piece of trash is pointless; keeping it alive might actually be of some use.
If the Chuangyuan Base so readily abandoned him and wanted him dead, how could he possibly return to the Chuangyuan Base and help them without any resentment?
There must be hatred in his heart.
It would be best if he could cause some trouble for the Chuangyuan Base.
Even if there's no trouble, it won't matter if we catch someone with no ability and kill them again next time.
Meng Shiwan turned and slowly walked towards the base, carefully considering the new information and comparing it with her previous guesses. She felt that it was a big problem.
If it's really as she suspects, then things are in big trouble.
No wonder Meng Qingyue failed in her previous life and had to take a conservative approach, which led to the current situation.
Meng Qingyue is relieved, but now all this mess has fallen on her shoulders.
Meng Shiwan needs to carefully consider what path to take in the future; it looks like a tough battle is about to begin.
