I went berserk in the game of gods.

Chapter 37 The Real Way to Clear the Game
“So,” An Li gradually guessed Cao Yu’s intention, “you want to go to the hospital to test the genetic information on this piece of meat?”

"Yes."

Cao Yu didn't keep them in suspense and said directly:

"Do you remember my analogy from before? The flesh and blood that covered the entire city last night was both a cloud storing consciousness data and a terminal providing bodies for everyone in the city. Judging from the details last night, their flesh and blood are most likely one entity."

At this point, he took out the piece of meat he had picked up last night from his storage space.

While in a dungeon, E-rank players cannot retrieve non-game items from their storage space. However, there is no such restriction on storing or retrieving items that are already in the dungeon.

Cao Yu continued:
"When I say 'unity,' I don't mean that all the flesh and blood of the city's inhabitants are added together and merged into one. After all, how much flesh and blood does the entire city have? It's impossible for it to cover the whole city."

The sea of ​​flesh and blood that appeared last night likely originated from that creator.

Therefore, if the genetic data of this piece of meat in my hand can be detected and compared with the genetic database of this city... understand?

"For your method to yield results, a prerequisite must be met," An Li pointed out the key: "The Sea of ​​Flesh and Blood must originate from the flesh and blood of the creator himself, containing his genetic data. How can you be so certain..."

She suddenly stopped talking at this point.

Because she recalled some details from last night.

During last night's monster crisis, she observed a phenomenon that may or may not be important—every flesh monster was covered with the mouthparts of various creatures, as if they were a fusion of multiple genes.

At that moment, she immediately thought of the demi-human players.

In the early days of the Evolution Game's arrival in the Federation, many demi-human players went almost insane in absorbing the superior genes of other creatures and integrating them into their bodies to strengthen themselves. As a result, most of the players turned into monsters with multiple biological characteristics.

Its condition is quite similar to the fleshy monster from last night.

Thinking about Cao Yu's decision to have his blood and flesh tested, she suddenly had a thought—could the "Creator of the City of Truth" have originally been a demi-human player?

Driven by a desire for revenge against the breeders, he frantically absorbed foreign genes to evolve himself. However, this resulted in a distorted evolution that caused him to go berserk, transforming him into a monster that devoured the entire city's inhabitants.

Cao Yu noticed the change in An Li's expression and said:

"It seems you've thought of that too. Generally speaking, the background content of a dungeon contains information related to the inherent crisis of the entire dungeon. Sometimes it's explicit, and sometimes it's implicit."

The background of this instance only mentions the conflict between the local players and the farming players in the City of Truth, and there are no other dangerous factors.

Therefore, we speculated that the essence of the crisis lay with the players... Although it might seem a bit far-fetched, there's still some logic to it.

“That’s definitely a direction for investigation.” An Li nodded. “But we don’t need to go to the hospital. I can help you analyze the genetic information on the meat.”

Cao Yu: "?"

You actually have this ability...?
Suppressing his surprise, Cao Yu asked, "A detection-type tool?"

“Mm.” An Li nodded.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Doraemon." Cao Yu handed over the piece of meat.

An Li: "?"

What kind of weird name is this... After An Li took the piece of meat, she brought up the player panel and first removed the "Dust-Free Golden Ring" from her item slot.

Then, she took out a pair of monocles from the player's inventory and equipped them to the item slot.

After the prop and her mind were connected, she put the monocle on her right eye.

It took a little over a minute.

Cao Yu deduced a piece of information from the details of the timeline—the item An Li changed to was probably also a D-grade item… It wouldn’t take this long to change an E-grade item.

No, just how rich is this girl?

Cao Yu truly felt the gap between the rich and the poor, and for a moment he wanted to speak but hesitated, yet he still wanted to.

“This item is not mine.” An Li noticed the strange look in Cao Yu’s eyes and explained, “It was given to me by an elder, who asked me to help him collect the genes of specific creatures in the dungeon.”

"Oh?" Cao Jianyu saw that An Li didn't seem to be hiding anything, so it must not be a secret. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you going to do with collecting biological genes?"

"In the early stages of the evolution game, some people tried to take two or even three paths. By the middle stage, the least serious consequence was becoming disabled."

An Li replied:
"Those who can reach the stage of being crippled are all highly evolved and are basically important figures in reality. I happen to know one of them... or rather, the other person happens to know me and recognize my abilities."

"I see." Cao Yu understood: "Since he's a big shot, he naturally wouldn't be willing to let his evolution stagnate and be crippled for life... Healing items aren't working?"

“It’s useless. Even items that can regenerate from a drop of blood are useless.” An Li shook her head: “The conflict between evolutionary pathways is not a simple physical injury. To solve the problem, we can only find a solution within the framework of the evolutionary pathway itself. For example… the demi-human pathway, gene injections.” After explaining, she murmured the name of the monocle and looked at the piece of meat in her hand.

At a glance, a series of genetic information appeared... lampreys, tigers, black spiders, electric eels, Alsace's cobras, cockroaches, mantis shrimps... a dense array of information about various creatures appeared before my eyes, but the proportion of these genes was very low.

The gene sequence with the highest percentage is the genetic information of a single human being.

Thanks to the power of D-level information items, human genetic information was labeled with individual names.

An Li was not surprised by this.

She had even heard that the Federal Special Affairs Bureau possessed a Class B information tool that could obtain fragments of information about the future.

In short, this saved her the trouble of comparing genetic information with gene banks to find the target person.

Her gaze fell on the individual name—Zheng Yi.

You have triggered a side quest.

Side Quest 2: Find the Truth Hidden by the "Shared Remains"

Become!

An Li informed Cao Yu of the information she had gathered.

Soon, Cao Yu also received a notification for "Side Quest 2".

“Gonghai…this name really does have a clear suggestive meaning,” Cao Yu said. “Let’s go back to the police station.”

He then turned off the engine, got out of the car, and returned to the police station's lobby with An Li.

At that moment, the fitness instructors and others happened to be waiting for a new hunting operation and were following the hunting team, preparing to leave the hall.

The group was somewhat surprised to see Cao Yu and An Li walking in from the main gate.

"Are you... done?" the fitness instructor asked.

How long has it been?

Is it too fast?

"You all go about your business," Cao Yu said. "Hurry up and hunt again, or you might not have another chance."

"Uh……"

The fitness coach wanted to ask what it meant, but seeing that Cao Yu wasn't very interested in talking, he had to suppress his curiosity.

So the two teams split up and went their separate ways.

Cao Yu approached the staff in the lobby, immediately launching into a grand "Pig Hunting Operation," before making his demands:

"I would like to know if there is a player named 'Zheng Yi' among the victims of past aquaculture incidents. If so, please print out a copy of his personal information for me."

"Okay, wait a minute."

The staff immediately began searching for information using the police station's internal system.

A short while later, a document was handed to Cao Yu and An Li.

These are Zheng Yi's personal records... Yes, Zheng Yi is dead.

According to the information, Zheng Yi is a person who is not afraid of life and death threats. Even when he was raised like a pig by the farmers, he never cooperated in the slightest.

As a result, in order to vent their anger and make an example of Zheng Yi, the farmers arrested Zheng Yi's family members and then cruelly tortured and killed them in front of all the piglets.

Enraged, Zheng Yi retaliated, ultimately following in his family's footsteps and dying in the breeding den.

Afterwards, the breeding den was completely uprooted, and the survivors provided information about Zheng Yi. The police sent people to bury Zheng Yi and his family.

After reviewing the materials,
An Li frowned and said:
"I detected the name Zheng Yi using a tool, and it should be his real name. He's been buried... According to the dungeon's hints, he should be in eternal sleep and unable to continue causing trouble. Unless..."

"Unless he is not dead, but alive."

Cao Yu continued, a thoughtful look in his eyes:
"Zheng Yi's grave, and his home... Let's go to his grave first and check the situation."
