Lin Qingya stared blankly at his father in front of him...
"So, you know everything?!"
"Most of them, I guess."
Seeing the current situation, Lin Nansheng decided not to continue hiding it.
Seeing his father's calm reaction, Lin Qingya didn't know what to say for a moment.
He sat blankly on the sofa, his eyes gradually becoming unfocused.
He has always strived to uncover the truth and become stronger.
It wasn't until looking back that I realized...
Is his own father the real boss behind everything?
After a long while, Lin Qingya suddenly looked up.
"The death of Qingyi..."
Upon hearing this name, Lin Nansheng paused for a moment, then slowly put down the teacup he had been holding, and sighed deeply.
"Qingyi's death... was an accident, but also a conspiracy."
Lin Nansheng's voice was completely calm, but Lin Qingya clearly sensed a fleeting pain and regret in his father's narrowed eyes.
"You know, I only chose to cultivate after Qingyi died."
"At that time, I was not the chief scientist of Kaiyuan, but just a scientist with potential."
As Lin Nansheng recounted his story, he unveiled that painful memory once again...
"At that time, under the guidance of the royal family, most of us were engaged in research on the Abyss. Although we did not know why we were researching the Abyss, the royal family spared no effort in this research. They provided us with almost unlimited resources and funds."
"At the time, I was also a researcher in the Abyss, but as we delved deeper into our research, those who had long been in contact with the Abyss and who knew it best were gradually corrupted by it."
"Moreover, this situation is escalating, with more and more people reporting to higher authorities that they are experiencing a lot of inexplicable noise in their minds."
"And I also have it in my mind, but because I am a lord of the literature system, my mental strength is relatively strong. Not only did I resist the erosion of the abyss, but I can even continue to study it."
"Gradually, I came into the royal family's sights."
"I lived this life of studying the abyss for a long time, and the researchers around me changed batch after batch."
Lin Nansheng raised his head slightly, as if recalling that tedious time.
"Almost all the researchers who studied the Abyss with me died; I was the only one who survived to the end."
"One day, the royal family suddenly approached me, hoping that I would go into the Abyss Zone with them to conduct research. I did not refuse at the time, because for me, who studies the Abyss, going into the Abyss Zone is just a regular occurrence."
"But the royal family at the time ventured into the deeper abyss..."
"We traveled through the Abyss for a long time, encountered many Abyss creatures, and many people died."
Finally, they led me to a place of ruins...
"I was very surprised at the time because the remains of that ruin were enormous."
"But the royal family didn't let me do much research; instead, they led me into the wreckage with practiced ease."
"And among those wreckages lies a vast amount of knowledge, even equipment..."
"Under the protection of the royal family, I stayed there for a long time, until I recorded most of the knowledge using my lord-level abilities..."
"For a researcher, such a vast amount of unknown knowledge is enough to keep me so excited that I can't sleep."
"But at that time I didn't know that sometimes, knowledge can be a curse."
At this point, Lin Nansheng's lips curled up slightly, looking both pitiful and sorrowful.
"Thinking about it, that place must be the capital of that so-called 'world'? Or perhaps a large research institute or library."
"Having acquired knowledge, I successfully advanced to become the chief scientist of Kaiyuan."
"So much knowledge and theory was enough to revolutionize the entire Kaiyuan world. Just as I was about to pass it on, the royal family stopped me."
"They imprisoned this knowledge, shelved it, and only the royal family could understand and know it."
"I knew then that my existence would likely become a memory card for the royal family; once I've exhausted all my knowledge, I'll be completely useless..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingya asked in return.
"So what are you going to do? Pretend you can't produce it?"
Hearing Lin Qingya's question, Lin Nansheng smiled contemptuously.
"It's not that simple. The royal family isn't stupid."
"I was simultaneously acquiring knowledge and searching for research directions."
"Your research direction can save your life?! Just tell me directly how Qingyi got into trouble! Was it really the myriad races that killed him?!"
Hearing this, Lin Qingya felt his father was talking nonsense; he just wanted to know what had happened to his younger brother...
"I'm your father! You have to let me finish what I have to say!"
Hearing Lin Qingya's impatient words, Lin Nansheng instantly became angry, and his previous calm demeanor could no longer be maintained!
He slammed his hand on the table and waited for Lin Qingya.
Lin Qingya looked at his father, who was finally somewhat normal, and gave an awkward smile, then said nothing more.
Seeing Lin Qingya's expression, Lin Nansheng regained his composure...
But after a long silence...
Where was I?
"Research direction..."
Lin Qingya said, somewhat speechless.
"Yes, research direction. Ordinary research directions certainly can't save my life, but what if it's about researching methods to eliminate and restore normalcy after being invaded by the abyss?"
Lin Qingya: Huh? ? ?
His face was filled with disbelief! He had seen demon seeds before! They could return to normal just by touching things?!
"You succeeded in your research?!"
Lin Qingya's voice rose eight octaves.
Looking at Lin Qingya's appearance, Lin Nansheng's lips curled into a smile that seemed to say, "I've accomplished my task and left without a trace, concealing my merits and fame."
Lin Qingya's eyes widened instantly upon seeing his expression.
"Could it be that you...?"
"Of course not."
Lin Nansheng said calmly.
"Ha... I knew it."
Lin Qingya in front of him let out a cold laugh.
Honestly, if it weren't for his own father standing in front of him, he would have a lot to say.
Unfortunately, in other people's lives, the children grow up and the fathers grow old, so they have to rely on their children.
He's doing well; he's already reached Diamond Rank 8.
His own father is still waiting for him at the master's place...
The last time he rebelled, he even managed to drop a rank...
"Although we haven't figured it out yet, it has taken a lot of time, and during the research process, the royal family provided us with a lot of test subjects."
"In many test subjects, I found that many genes or bloodlines had defects, while others did not."
"Then the royal family gave me a task: to study how to remedy the defects in my bloodline."
"The royal family attaches great importance to this project and has even assigned many top researchers to participate in it."
"Heh, I know that. Did you fail to research it either?"
This time, Lin Qingya was smarter and answered directly.
But Lin Nansheng's only response was a look that suggested he was mentally challenged...
That feeling is like...
How could someone as smart as me have such a mentally challenged son like you?
Lin Qingya felt deeply insulted by Lin Nansheng's gaze.
To be honest, he's actually quite smart outside, and even seems to have a keen understanding of human nature and worldly affairs, but for some reason, he changes as soon as he gets home.
Could it be that, with feet planted on home soil, the basket of the mentally challenged has occupied the high ground of wisdom?
