Chapter 315 264: Chu Bamboo: What Do You Mean the Daqian Imperial Family Are My Descendants?

The enemy's attack on the workers was utterly inhumane! Half of the survivors died...

I had no choice but to reveal my Extraordinary Power... What I mean is, it was only by using my Extraordinary Power that even half of them survived... Don't you go thinking I waited for half of them to die before stepping in!

Anyway, that was the situation. On top of that, there was pressure from back home. I barely managed to hold on until... the reinforcements arrived!

At some point, I suspected that forces from the Golden Dawn had infiltrated, but... the infiltration wasn't very deep!

I get the feeling that in this worldline, the Golden Dawn is also in a bit of a mess. They haven't formed a united front against me... Strange!

But I'm not sure what exactly is happening on their end right now.

Okay, I'm not going to think about that right now! The most important issue is that my Superpower has been exposed... I have a feeling things are going to get very troublesome... extremely troublesome!

Damn it! I'm starting to regret this... I should have learned how to erase memories first... Okay, erasing memories apparently requires some kind of device! I wonder if that device is hard to make."

"..." Chu Bamboo was silent. 'This really is a huge problem! The only silver lining is...'

"'I can't believe it didn't trigger the Ruin Timeline.'"

Chu Bamboo glanced again at the external feed displayed by Nuwa, feeling rather baffled. 'So, what principle triggers the Ruin Timeline...?'

Then...

"'Hm, luckily, on the way back, I thought of a perfect excuse...

As expected, back home they're also researching 'Sacred Artifacts'!

That's right, my excuse is that I possess a Sacred Artifact! I was even prepared... to give one up just to be safe...

But I never would have imagined that even though there were plenty of suspicious things about me... maybe because I cooperated with the military, was hunted by the White-headed Eagle... and even saved people and brought them back to the country... I somehow managed to gain their trust? And they didn't even ask me for the Artifact.'"

"'Erm, okay... It took me three days to find out! Turns out, a certain big shot whom Principal Li had asked to look after me pulled some strings... Sigh! Guess giving the school all that stock was worth it after all.'"

Chu Bamboo skimmed through the text, ignoring a large amount of meaningless information about business development. Then he saw...

"'After making a name for myself overseas, I finally restarted my research into the ruins of the Maya Civilization! The amount of information I obtained was extremely scarce...

But I have a strong suspicion that the reason the '27 avian flu transformed from a normal bird flu into that bizarre thing that turns people into zombies... is very likely connected to the ruins of the Maya Civilization!

Damn it! I was just wondering. My good brothers had never mentioned... if Extraterrestrial Civilizations can send resources to Earth, then where the hell did this virus come from... And now...!

I'm numb to it all! But the problem is, the ruins of the Maya Civilization have already been cleared out... The reason I'm suspicious is that, according to our intel, not long after I went back, the population around the ruins suddenly vanished! In fact, you could say everyone within a twenty-kilometer radius of the ruins died!

I don't know if it was the virus or if they were silenced! But whoever did it was too thorough this time... so much so that I only noticed the issue when I tried to trace its origins later! And even this conclusion is half-deduction, half-guesswork.'"

"..." Chu Bamboo's expression grew heavy. "If that's the case..."

'This is bad! The ruins of the Maya Civilization... it looks like they've become a scenario that has to be cleared!'

Rubbing his temples, Chu Bamboo continued to read.

As usual, many entries were missing. He didn't know if they had been deleted by Lin Xin Bamboo or were simply lost...

Finally, Chu Bamboo found a key piece of information.

"'Kevin Wait is trustworthy!

The Golden Dawn has a special Sacred Artifact called ●●●●! After long intervals, its members can receive information transmitted by it! They call it the 'Oracle'.

I suspect it might be something that communicates with Aliens, though they stubbornly believe...

...it communicates with God!'

'But the information this Sacred Artifact reveals often contradicts the Holy Bible handed down from antiquity.

Let me clarify, this Holy Bible isn't the New or Old Testament that's commonly circulated today, but the original version... the original manuscript of the words spoken by the true Christ himself!

So, there's actually a small faction within the Golden Dawn that believes this thing might not be communicating with God at all!

Some think it might be communicating with a Demon, that it's the temptation of Satan, while others believe it's simply communicating with Aliens!

Kevin is one who firmly believes that... regardless of whether it's communicating with Aliens or Satan, it's definitely not God, and it's definitely not a good guy!

He is a staunch Earth loyalist!

His will is incredibly strong and unyielding. He has deceived all his own relatives, making them all believe he's an absolute loyalist!

He is exceptionally talented, even positioned as the heir to the next generation's Witte Clan codename!'"

Chu Bamboo's heart pounded in his chest. 'So... that's the... Artifact that was in that small, dark room?!'

"So, could this be a Three-Body situation..." Chu Bamboo mused for a moment, but after applying the concept, he felt there were inconsistencies. He shook his head and continued reading, and then he understood why his good brother had been willing to trust.

"'Kevin was willing to show me all of his memories!

Because of his special status, I created a Reproduction of all his Skills... and in doing so, I peeked into his most profound memory! It was the memory of him as a child, seeing that Artifact for the first time—the moment his doubts were born...'
