The doctor suffers from amnesia, but not complete amnesia.

[Old Qiao Yelan] was very clear about this—so his choice was to use a letter to gain Qiao Yelan's basic trust in him, and then leave behind this detailed database.

He gave Qiao Yelan the opportunity to manipulate the Terra world in exchange for allowing him to develop and advance the Lungmen Dollar plan he had previously devised.

This is a plan that only someone who fully understands who they are can formulate.

After waking up and finishing his conversation with Kal'tsit, Qiao Yelan used a self-evaluation to explain his self-assessment.

[After all, among humans, I'm considered a 'monster'.]

"Monster" is the definition used as a noun.

Imagine someone waking up to find their memories stuck on an ordinary night, only to find themselves facing a coup on the brink of collapse—and they manage to control a powerful figure named Therese based solely on information from a single letter.

Qiao Yelan really enjoys this kind of life.

So when he realized that someone had already cultivated his territory, recorded every piece, nurtured loyal subordinates, and fostered a huge power, how could he possibly resist "squandering" it?

Therefore, Qiao Yelan will follow the Lungmen Coin plan.

On the one hand, Qiao Yelan has the ability to promote this plan, and it would be beneficial to him after it is promoted.

On the other hand——

Qiao Yelan will fulfill every deal he approves of.

Thus, the verification plan of [Old Qiao Yelan] has been perfectly accomplished. He proved that his slumber in the stone coffin was problematic and successfully covered up this verification.

The next step was the notification plan.

[Old Qiao Yelan] Unable to keep this answer for himself, the only thing he could do was to turn this answer into a baton and pass it on to the next Qiao Yelan.

And the part that serves as the baton in the relay, preventing anyone else from noticing, is—

[Lungmen Coin Project]

Herhunzoren's death was an accident, and Kosic was kicked out of the game by Wei Yanwu in advance—but no accident could ever interrupt Qiao Yelan's plan.

Whether it's the previous one or this one.

As the Lungmen Coin Project progresses step by step, the foreshadowing left by [Old Qiao Yelan] is being addressed one by one by Qiao Yelan—the mysterious sleeping land, the loyalty of the Sarkaz clan, and the deliberately concealed emotional experiences.

The first thing that made Qiao Yelan begin to doubt the people closest to her.

The second thing led Qiao Yelan to find the person who had truly been hiding his true intentions.

The third thing, from the Duke of Caesar to Clovisia—when Shu came to Qiao Yelan and confessed her feelings, he finally realized the purpose of his previous actions.

The only thing he couldn't plan was what the woman who loved him would do.

No matter what PRTS wants to do, she is doing it all while keeping it from Qiao Yelan, satisfying her own selfish desires. There is no doubt about that. Therefore, no matter which Qiao Yelan it is, she will not allow herself to be without a way to counter PRTS.

However, PRTS was created from Qiao Yelan. As an AI that ran based on herself, her power is obvious to the naked eye—in terms of computing power, the other party's strategic planning is even better than her own.

So, how do we break through the plans devised by a self whose computing power has been enhanced?

This is the second step of the [Old Qiao Yelan] hint plan.

This will allow Qiao Yelan to understand what kind of chess pieces move in trajectories that even chess players cannot predict—this is the key to breaking through the PRTS plan.

The Duke of Caesar's drugging caught him off guard, and Clovisia's coercion left him powerless to resist.

Upon arriving in the Great Yan Dynasty, as a Sui Xiang (a high-ranking official) under strict surveillance by the Si Sui Tai (a government agency), Shu Ming knew that if his actions were discovered, ending up in the same situation as Wang would be the best outcome. However, he still chose to trust his younger brother and came to the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty, just to cook a meal for Qiao Yelan.

These are behaviors that Qiao Yelan cannot control or understand.

Because all his plans are based on logic, not emotion.

In other words, Qiao Yelan could easily destroy the relationships between other people, but when those relationships fell upon him, he could only feel bewildered.

Because he has never loved anyone.

Therefore, he could not understand how much other people loved him.

Even when he was drugged by the Duke of Kester, whom he had just met, even when he was forcibly taken by the immortal Clovisia, even when a woman who made him feel warm was held in his arms—

Qiao Yelan remained lost in cold contemplation.

He was pondering what kind of "intelligence" their actions would bring him.

Passionate emotions were the only thing that could disrupt Qiao Yelan's plans.

But the disturbance is not the emotion.

So this is also part of the plan.

PRTS's computational database originated from Qiao Yelan.

If even Qiao Yelan can't understand it, can PRTS understand it?

Can PRTS handle something that even Qiao Yelan couldn't manage?

The second half of the hint plan has now been achieved.

The problem with the stone coffin, the flaws in PRTS, the key to breaking free from the cage—[Old Qiao Yelan] laid them all out before Qiao Yelan.

So, only one last thing is missing.

A door to the truth.

Qiao Yelan had already remembered what that door was.

In order to evade PRTS's intelligence gathering, the truth must be kept in a place where it cannot be detected, or at least, where PRTS cannot gather intelligence.

Coincidentally, during their first meeting, the Duke of Custer "casually" mentioned Qiao Yelan's past, which led Qiao Yelan to discover a country that Babel had almost never visited.

That was the only one on this land.

--Colombia.

As a country that only gained independence in the 1020s, this young nation has risen at a speed that is beyond everyone's comprehension—no one knows why they have such a huge production capacity, or how they fully mobilize and utilize this capacity.

In just 50 years, Columbia has traversed a path that other countries took hundreds or even thousands of years to complete, becoming one of the most advanced nations on the Terra continent, just like Great Yan and Ursus today.

When Qiao Yelan saw this intelligence, he also found it unbelievable, because it was something he himself couldn't do. It wasn't about balancing power, but rather the simplest application and development of productivity.

Qiao Yelan couldn't understand it before, but now it has given him a new perspective.

Yes, this is something humans cannot do.

What about AI that has the support of computing power?

If this country were not directed by humans, but rather a country where AI would manage all production arrangements and formulate industrial plans, would such a miracle truly be possible?

Similarly, if it were AI, there's no reason why the other side wouldn't be able to stop PRTS from penetrating, or at least slow down the rate of penetration.

The Duke of Caesar once said that a certain George Yelan in the past had connections with Colombia and even contributed to Colombia's war of independence, freeing it from its fate as a Victorian colony.

So why is it that in Colombia today, the Tower of Babel is only occupied by a single criminal family, a "black glove," struggling to survive in the lower and middle classes?

Right there.

My lost memories, the truth about the world, are all there.

Qiao Yelan was certain of this.

He was equally certain that the moment he set foot in Colombia, the war had begun.

He didn't know if the only enemy was PRTS.

But he was certain that it would be the beginning of the end.

---------------------------------------------------------

When Ji sneaked back to Qiao Yelan's residence, he saw that the light in his teacher's bedroom was still on.

This made him feel uneasy.

But whether you advance or retreat, you'll get the same blow; there's no escaping it.

So in the end, he obediently knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Upon opening the door, Sui Xiang was surprised to find that only Qiao Yelan was inside, sitting at her desk reviewing documents.

"Sir, where is my sister? Didn't she come?"

"Shu? She's already gone back."

"gone back?"

Ji blinked, looking a little bewildered.

Why are you going back so soon? Not even staying one more night?

"She heard that Wang had escaped from prison and couldn't find you. She was worried that she would be exposed prematurely and that this would make your case even more serious, so she went back after dinner."

Qiao Yelan didn't even look up.

"The crime is compounded..."

Ji's face was a little pale. The additional punishment meant that he not only assisted Wang in escaping from prison, but also helped Shu leave the Great Wilderness City.

However, the reason he was pale was not because of that, but because Sister Shu already knew that he had helped Wang escape from prison.

It's a pity he came back to accept his punishment—of course, he also wanted to see his sister.

But my sister has already left.
