Artifact Report

Only those who change the world should be qualified to advance
Dear players from Vesile:

We have learned that Ms. Ashley Page will be promoted to Chief of the Blackmore Central Police Station in October this year.
The Nest sincerely thanks you for your positive response and the decisive actions you have taken.

For the changes and impacts you have brought, the Nest would like to offer a reward and hope to be of some help in your future journey.

Artifact Name: Telomeres in vitro

Pseudo-image function: By wrapping the telomere chain outside the body, the user can reverse aging and return to the peak of their physical, mental, and other comprehensive aspects.

By simply keeping the chain wrapped around the body, the user can always stay in peak condition and will not age with the passage of time.

After being removed, it will immediately return to the user's original state + the aging that would have occurred during the wearing time.

If you are not yet in your prime (for example, still a teenager), this artifact will not work.

Although it is called a "chain", it is actually made of biological material and will not rust, so you can rest assured to wash it.

When and where to capture:
Starting on the 13th of each month, "in vitro telomeres" may be captured in the nest at St. Louis Hospital, Broom Street, and the area corresponding to the Law School of Haymore University.

It seems to be black.

Note: Telomeres in vitro may deform before and after capture. If you see black objects that are not chain-like moving around, please pay attention.

The causal impact of this artifact's entry into the human world: Is it the source of everything? I don't understand. Further details are unknown.

Time limit for use:

Earn Action Points for the next Artifact Report:
1. Replace the mayor of Blackmore with a "vulture" resident.

If this option is completed, there is a 78% chance that the "Nest Domination Game Target Artifact" will appear in the next Artifact Report (hereinafter referred to as the "Target Chance").

2. Acquire the Hunter family, the Panet family, with a target probability of 61%;

3. Find a way to transfer the pathway, with a target probability of 95%.

If you complete any of the above actions before December 2026, 12, you will receive another Artifact Report.

The number of completed actions corresponds to the number of Artifact Reports obtained.

The Lair wishes you smooth sailing, achieving your goals, and claiming the highest throne of dominance in the game.

Please also be careful and take care. On the road to becoming a ruler, the closer you get to the end, the more dangerous and difficult it becomes.

"what is this?"

Offscreen, Han Liuyue murmured, "There's actually such a thing as a 'False Image Report'? Who wrote it, and who sent it to Wei Xilai? Can information from the lair be directly sent to the human world?"

"Well, who cares who it is? There are more than one unsolved mysteries in the lair."

Jin Xueli was quite open-minded and said, "The action point that Wesley chose to complete was the first one, right? The reason he wanted to let the vulture into the human world was to replace the mayor, right?"

The camera shook slightly.

From the footage of another camera mounted on a tripod, it can be seen that the two of them turned around at the same time and looked at the vulture tied to the pillar.

"So he went to great lengths to get the vulture into the human world, hoping to complete the first action point," Han Liuyue whispered. "Fortunately, he died before he could complete it."

"The Knight family hasn't been acquired yet, right?" Jin Xueli asked.

"As far as I know, no."

Han Liuyue pondered and said, "The third action point has the highest chance of obtaining target pseudo-image intelligence. Wesley will not let it go in vain. Let's take a closer look. If he really found a way to transfer the route before he died..."

She stopped talking before she finished.

After two seconds, Jin Xueli said, "Hmm?" "Chai Si-ta... wants to enter the lair?"

"Honestly, I'm not sure. Shiba-san doesn't often talk about his feelings with others."

"Having this option is better than not having it, right?"

As these words were spoken, the camera went dark, half of it blocked by Jin Xueli's big face.

She waved at the camera and said with a smile, "We'll continue looking for clues in this regard. After you finish reading this, think about how to thank me."

Han Liuyue rarely panicked: "I'm not asking for thanks - this is my mission -"

"I know, I know. As soon as the camera turns on, you become so serious. Who are you?" Jin Xueli left the camera and said, "Look down."

Although nearly 70% of the content disappeared with Vesile's death, the remaining 30% is still a huge amount of information.

The two of them sped up the flow of history from time to time based on the content of the message; even after speeding up, they had to change the battery once in the middle - Han Liuyue was very rigorous and was able to connect the video footage before and after the interruption.

Regarding that little accident at the end of April, neither Weisilai in the screen nor Jin Han outside the screen took it seriously; the scene where he accidentally scratched his hand was sped up and flashed by in the video.

In early May, he was traveling one night when the last car in his convoy suddenly flew sideways and crashed into the back door of a building on the side of the road.

"Hey, I did this," Jin Xueli said, looking a little embarrassed. She chuckled twice, "I didn't expect this to be left behind... It gave him such a scare."

"I don't know what he did when he left that night," Han Liuyue also reached out and blanked out a section, saying, "There's just too much missing."

In short, Vesile seemed to be very satisfied with his progress in collecting target artifacts. In September, Vesile suddenly had the urge to take a night swim at home.

His house has an indoor infinity pool, and from the water, one can overlook most of Blackmore City - when the scene first appeared in the candle tears, both of them couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement.

Weisilai had just taken off his bathrobe by the pool and was about to go in the water when he suddenly remembered that he had not taken out the glass of fruit and vegetable juice he had just made, so he turned around and went into the house to get it.

"Let's speed up and skip this part," Jin Xueli said with a yawn, "I'm so sleepy. It's already past ten in the morning and I haven't slept yet."

"Yeah, that's fine. I'll speed up a bit."

Han Liuyue said this and just reached out her hand, but then paused.

Vesile came out again with a glass of celery juice; he glanced at the other end of the swimming pool for some unknown reason and was stunned.

He strode over; his pace was so fast that Han Liuyue and Jin Xueli outside the screen were confused.

In the water in the corner of the swimming pool, there was a long power strip.

The cord connected to the power strip climbed up from the swimming pool to the shore, extending all the way, and the plug was plugged into the socket on the outside wall.

"who is it?"

In his excitement, Wei Xilai dropped the cup and broke it on the ground. "Who's hiding here? Get out!"

The picture stops here and returns to a blank.

"Didn't the historical footage just now say he was the only one home that night?" Jin Xueli asked in surprise. "...The housekeeper's on leave, the servants are out, and his wife hasn't come back yet. Isn't he the only one at home? At least he's the only one on this floor, and his bodyguards are downstairs."

Han Liuyue thought about it.

"Yes," she said slowly, "and the side near the pool has floor-to-ceiling windows facing the bar area. If someone was tampering with the pool, he wouldn't have been able to see it. Could it be that the power strip was submerged in the water the whole time and none of us saw it?"

"Let's keep watching and see if he has found anyone at home?" Jin Xueli said.

At this time, Wei Xilai appeared on the screen again and said to the phone: "Dylan, bring a few people up, there is a problem at home."

The search scene was also missing from the candlelight; the two of them watched until October, and they didn't know whether he found anyone in the house that night.

However, even from the 30% memory, it can be seen that Weisilai is becoming more and more frightened and paranoid; he looks so frightened, as if he wishes to be held in the arms of his bodyguard all the time to feel at ease.

"Until the very end, we still couldn't figure out how he died."

When the record reached the end of the candle, Jin Xueli stretched her waist. "I can't do it anymore. I'm dying of exhaustion. I've done what Chai Si asked me to do. I'm going home."

"This night is indeed a long one," Han Liuyue said, placing the camera on the ground.

Only the feet of the two people were shown in the picture; they walked to the fire trough, turned off the fire, and the candle wax slowly rose up and disappeared in the picture.

"Are you leaving too?" Jin Xueli asked.

"No, I plan to stay," Han Liuyue said. "Brother Chai wants to see the history of Vesile's life, but now there is only 30% left. It will be difficult to report it back. He will definitely not be satisfied. I will force the vulture to see if I can make it transform into Vesile again."

"How much does he pay you per month?" Jin Xueli said, both admiring and puzzled. "Are you competing for Kai's Employee of the Month?"

"Just go on your way," Han Liuyue seemed to have a lot to say, but swallowed it all back into her stomach.

"Then I'll be leaving. We'll talk about how to deal with the candle wax later."

As the footsteps faded away, the exhibition hall gradually returned to silence.

Han Liuyue didn't pick up the handheld camera; there was a rustling sound in the exhibition hall, as if she had unzipped her backpack and then opened a paper bag.

"Oh, there really is this," she murmured.

The sound of the vulture suddenly rang out.

"I said, I didn't lie to you."

It seemed to have fully recovered and was speaking clearly and fluently.

"That man is already dead and bacon-like. It's absolutely impossible for me to transform into him and gain access to his memories and thoughts. That's absolutely true. And, even if you waste more time torturing me, it's still..."

"Ok, I know."

Vulture was silent for a few seconds. "You know? Then why are you still..."

It spoke very slowly, and as it spoke, it seemed to have a question that could no longer be suppressed, and finally couldn't help asking: "Never mind that, who are you? Why didn't I see you just now?"

Han Liuyue's voice sounded from outside the screen.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you were close to the girl who just left, and you remember her, right? Her name is Jin Xueli."

"Yes...I remember."

"Okay," Han Liuyue ordered calmly, "I need you to become her and touch the candle."

　I've been developing a habit lately when writing: I try to avoid rhyming sentences (I used to be wary of this, but lately I've been very careful to avoid it). It's not poetry, after all; rhyming is nice, and then it ends. It always feels weird to suddenly have a rhyme in the middle of a long novel.

　　By the way, I've been wanting to write a lighthearted comedy lately! I even have a title in mind...
