Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 220 Sparks of Thought

29 years ago, a baby named Duan Mingyuan was born in a hospital in Yunlong City, Blue Star.

There was not much noteworthy about his time until junior high school. Like many people in Yunlong City, his parents left him an apartment and went to work in the universe.

The turning point in Duan Mingyuan's life came one evening after school. He returned to the community as usual. While watching an old man playing chess in the community, he sensed an evil spirit attached to the old man's back. From then on, he began his years-long research on evil spirits. Almost all of his understanding of the life energy system was completed during those years.

Afterwards, due to the "human trafficking" of the Life Science Department of Universal Company, after causing a car accident that shocked the planet, Duan Mingyuan's life ushered in a long period of waste.

I was admitted to university step by step, and found a pretty good job after graduation, where I worked for four years.

Until, one night when he worked overtime until late at night, he met the fox demon Jiu Yue in the alley on his way home.

These are all clues that the Shanqi Chamber of Commerce can find. They have never been kept confidential, and corresponding records have been left at residences, schools, and workplaces. This is undoubtedly a fairly complete life.

However, this still could not resolve the doubts in Heya's heart.

She now threw this question to the other party, "Do you still remember when Duan Mingyuan's life began?"

It was the rainy night when the baby was born 29 years ago.
It was on an evening after school more than ten years ago when I first encountered life energy.

Or was it the night when he encountered the fox demon Jiuyue?

If she was facing a human being, the answer would be obvious, but for the Transcendent or the "Cocoon", memories and even traces of this world have no reference value.

"You should have noticed, right? This planet always responds to your expectations."

While attached to Xing, Heya also happened to hear Duan Mingyuan's insights.

He thought this was the memory modification brought about by the barrier, but the results it achieved were by no means limited to this.

Heya turned on the projection screen in the room and showed Duan Mingyuan the client's information in person. "When you decided to go to the sixth underground floor as a VIP client, it was not only the staff's memory that was tampered with, but also reality."

The registration information of Duan Mingyuan, Zheng Liu and Xing appeared prominently on the VIP customer information of Shanqi Chamber of Commerce.

Their identities are reasonable and legal, and even if the Chamber of Commerce conducts a thorough investigation, they meet all the standards of VIP customers.

And this is why Heya asked Duan Mingyuan the question.

The rainy night 29 years ago may not be the starting point of Duan Mingyuan’s life, and even the number 29 does not have any substantial meaning.

"Let's propose an interesting hypothesis. Suppose Duan Mingyuan's life began on the night he encountered the fox demon. Would your memory of the past change in any way?"

The answer is naturally no.

Whether it is life energy or barrier, this planet will always respond to his expectations.

If he realizes that there is a blank in his past, memory and reality will fill it up and create a past with traces, just like the forehistory in the film. Regardless of whether it really existed or not, it will emerge when it is needed, thus proving that Duan Mingyuan is a real human being.

"Since you think this is an idealistic question, you will never get a clear answer."

Duan Mingyuan said after a little thought.

At first, he was indeed confused by Heya's questions and began to think carefully about whether his experiences in the past 29 years had really existed, but he then realized that it was meaningless to pursue the truth in the fog.

Only the future can be given meaning.

"But it at least proves one thing."

Heya seemed to have expected Duan Mingyuan to say this, and stopped asking, "It means that you subconsciously regard yourself as a human being."

And his subsequent actions were also carried out as a "human being". Therefore, Duan Mingyuan's position was clear.

Heya felt that this might be the biggest difference between the Transcendents and them. They would never think about problems with the thinking of humans or any creatures on the planet, let alone devote themselves to them.

"Perhaps you're overthinking it. In the end, I may just be a slightly more powerful human being."

Duan Mingyuan said.

"If that were the case, we would not have met, and the court would have been destroyed by the orbital cannon of the company's flagship."

Heya never intended to answer her questions with just one meeting. As long as their conversation reached this point, her goal had been achieved. "All the documents about planetary consciousness are in the hands of Universal Company. Most of the research on 'Cocoon' has been destroyed, but there is still a group of people in the universe who have touched these secrets."

"You mean Eisenberg-Adler?"

This was a name Duan Mingyuan had read in a magazine when he was in high school. Although he had read many issues of the magazine, this name was the only one he remembered clearly, just like...

He had a vague premonition of the purpose of Heya's visit to him, and naturally thought of this name.

In a way that seems reasonable.

"He is imprisoned in what is known as the most heavily guarded prison in the entire universe. The disadvantage of the 'cocoon' is that after leaving the planet, the power that can be exerted will decline sharply. Just like now, if you want to attack me, I will definitely not be able to continue to stay on this planet."

Heya tried to show that she was harmless. "I guess you might want to know the exact location of that planet. According to the information I got, it's very close to the venue of the next Sixteen Star Summit. It should only take less than three days to sail away on the flagship... In case you are interested in the affairs of the Transcendents, you may be able to find the answer on that planet. If you can bring Eisenburg Adler out of there, I will be happy to buy him from you."

"I will seriously consider it."

Duan Mingyuan remained silent.

"Cocoon" was unable to compete with the company after leaving its homeland, which is probably why Heya couldn't save people on her own.

However, his energy was not restricted in this way. After boarding the Baptism flagship, his life energy showed no signs of decay.

This may also indirectly indicate that he and Heya are not of the same kind.

Or at least not quite the same.

"Then we have finished discussing the important matters."

Heya stretched out her body in a very human way, and dragged out the last syllable of her voice, like a white-collar worker who worked overtime until late at night. "Next, here is the gift I prepared for you. When I had nothing to do, I simulated the appearance of this planet after it was transformed into a cocoon."

As he spoke, the view on the electronic screen turned to the finale of the auction.

A "cargo" bound all over with chains, wearing a blindfold and a collar, and imprisoned in a cage for display.

"Member of the Forgotten Organization, bounty is 7900 million shells."

In this place, what can arouse customers' desire to buy more than the high bounty of 7900 million shells is the ability of the universe wanted criminal with a bounty of 7900 million shells.

This is a powerful capability that has been certified by the company and there is no gambling risk.

And this is most likely the only opportunity they will encounter in their lives.

"His captors were interstellar mercenaries hired by the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce. They almost had the chance to join the Long Branch."

Heya paused, and her tone became frivolous and seductive. She bent down, leaned on the table, supported her chin with both hands, and said in a tone similar to that of a dealer, "Do you want to place a bet? In this performance, the final winner is the Chamber of Commerce, or Wangxu?"
