Bengtie: My death fueled their madness.

The space station has a large activity area. Even if Qi Zhimu could speed up his movements, it would be enough to exhaust him to explore every corner in a day.

After completing the survey of the containment compartment, he returned to the train to rest, feeling exhausted.

After sleeping through all six systems, it headed back to the space station amidst Himeko's surprised gaze.

I only found out on March 7th that he was going to upgrade and improve the security system of the space station.

As the new day begins, Qi Zhimu tirelessly records various data as he moves between the base module, support module, and other core areas.

Xing wasn't idle either; he was either spending time in the Black Tower office testing simulated universes or going back and forth between the cafeteria and dormitory.

Occasionally, she would board the Starry Sky Train to visit March 7 and discuss with Himeko whether or not to board the train.

On the third day, Qi Zhimu had traversed most of the modules of the space station.

A quick glance at the space station's structural diagram reveals that only one module remains unchecked.

Once the survey there is completed, there will be no need to run around anymore.

"Restricted compartment...No staff member is allowed to enter without authorization. Anyone with knowledge of its existence must not disclose its presence. Access requires the appropriate level of clearance, emmm..."

Qi Zhimu was taken aback.

This place has no description other than its name, and even most of the staff members don't know it exists.

Why are you being so mysterious? Are you hiding something that can't be brought to light?

To avoid causing trouble, Qi Zhimu, adhering to professional ethics, immediately contacted Aisda for clarification.

Estelle's answer was concise: Try the access card that Lady Black Tower gave you. If you can't get in, then ignore it.

Qi Zhimu took out his access card and placed it close to the sensor area.

A beep's life, the traffic light turns green.

The elevator leading to that section was activated, indicating that the necessary permissions were in place.

"Sigh, what a waste of time."

I thought I could slack off without feeling guilty because I didn't have enough permissions, but I still have to do the work.

Stepping into the elevator and descending downwards, the outline of most of the azure planet came into view through the porthole.

As the corresponding memories surfaced in his mind, Qi Zhimu couldn't help but let out a sigh of vicissitude.

In his previous life, he died in a no-man's land and was unable to witness the day when Azure Star was saved.

Now that I've ended up here by chance, perhaps I should take some time to go back and see what my hometown has become.

As I reminisced, the elevator arrived at its destination.

Qi Zhimu collected his thoughts and stepped out, where he saw a small, floating machine.

Having walked around the space station for so many hours, he had seen countless similar machines, so he went up directly to ask.

"What is this compartment for?"

[Containment of Ms. Black Tower's Dangerous Curiosity, Life Cultivation of Ms. Ruan Mei: What information is required?]

Ruan Mei?

Qi Zhimu seemed to be deep in thought.

He had heard Yelena mention him; he seemed to be #81 in the Genius Club, a scientist in the field of life sciences, and quite mysterious.

There are probably fewer people who have seen her in person than there have seen Dr. #64.

I didn't expect her to have a collaboration with Black Tower; they seem to have a good relationship.

"Give me a detailed map."

[Basement Level 1, Transfer Hub; Basement Level 2, Shuttle Vehicles, Petri Dishes, Containment of Dangerous Curiosities... Integration complete, please accept.]

Qi Zhimu glanced at the data.

He is currently on the third floor, which is the top floor, so let's start working from the top down.

After walking down a corridor, he found that the facilities here were exceptionally well preserved, showing no signs of damage from the antimatter legion.

This is rather strange...

Unless some powerful barrier has been erected here to prevent the Legion from using imaginary numbers to open wormholes.

Does the entire compartment have an independent defense system?

Qi Zhimu's expression became more serious.

The confinement compartment is used to contain dangerous artifacts, as well as petri dishes...

What kind of terrifying thing was it that was contained, or did that genius in life sciences create an unknown monster?

I didn't see any dangerous facilities on the third floor, or even a trace of any strange objects.

After walking for a while, a wide circular platform connecting the laboratory and the connecting passage came into view.

Qi Zhimu's gaze swept around and landed on a terminal on a table in the distance.

It had a somewhat unique design, but he recognized it; it was one of the company's valuable products, equipped with long-range remote sensing communication technology.

I opened my contacts list, and there was only one contact.

— Nguyen Mai

"Is this how Black Tower usually contacts her?"

Thinking about what he would be doing soon, Qi Zhimu felt it necessary to check if there were any taboos hidden here that he absolutely could not touch, so as not to accidentally trigger a disaster.

At that time, he can stay far away.

With this in mind, Qi Zhimu pressed the communication request.

After a short wait, a projection appeared before my eyes.

"..."

Qi Zhimu was slightly taken aback when he saw the slightly blurry image projected on the screen.

For some reason, a strange feeling swept through my heart, a feeling that was faint yet real, and hard to describe.

"Hello, visitor, my name is Nguyen Mai. As for me... there's not much to introduce. It's nice to meet you."

Ruan Mei spoke, her tone flat, her gaze never wavering, clearly indicating that it was just a message projection.

"I am often in the mysterious and unfathomable realm of the universe, where communication is inconvenient, and contact can only be made by chance."

"The research is ongoing. If you have anything to say to me, please leave a message. Goodbye."

[You have been transferred to the automated answering system. Please press the communication key to select your preferred method.]

"No, goodbye." Qi Zhimu left only four words.

After disconnecting from the communication, my attention turned to the notebook next to me.

The cover was blank, but when you opened it, you saw lines of neat, small handwriting.

The handwriting reflects the person; one can tell from the charm of the handwriting alone that the owner of the notebook must be a graceful and elegant beauty.

However, after only a few seconds, Qi Zhimu's expression became increasingly strange.

No.92

Experimental objective: To create life based on pure reason

Experimental result: It remained there, and died due to mental derangement.

Reason for failure: Life and pure reason seem incompatible.

……

No.524

Experimental objective: To cultivate #8 Ramu

Experimental results: #8 Ram smiled and then disappeared.

Reason for failure: #8 Ram seems unwilling to come back.

……

No.1024

Experimental objective: To create distributed life forms

Experimental environment: accelerator and special culture dishes

Experimental method: High-energy particles were used to bombard the rift creation, causing it to split into multiple quantum states of life.

Experimental procedure: Accelerate high-energy particles to bombard the imprisoned experimental subject until it splits, feed it with abundant fruits to maintain its life form until the split is complete.

Experimental expectation: The experimental subjects will become distributed life forms capable of existing simultaneously in multiple locations, and information obtained by any one life form can be transmitted to all life forms.

Experimental result: Annihilated after 123 seconds.

Reason for failure: The emotion detector transmitted immense sadness. The experimental subject, having received too much information, seemed to have seen some kind of... truth. Unable to bear the sadness upon learning the truth, it chose to perish.

Follow-up: It's too similar to Amu's ending... The experimental process and related memories must be destroyed.
