From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

But the giant brain was stolen by a team led by a single person, and that person stole not only the giant brain, but also the woman's brother's body.

That is, a brain transplant.

At this point, Lu Jin asked Jing Nan a question with great interest, "I heard that the previous city lord's wife was the daughter of the first city lord, Gray."

Gray, through a brain transplant, seized the body of Bai Yuetian, Bai Yuekui's elder brother...

"Genetically speaking, you're related to the woman named Bai Yuekui in the images we found in Nirvana, aren't you?"

“I am the adopted daughter of the old city lord.”

Jingnan wasn't sure how much of what Lu Jin said was true, but her mind was in turmoil. "Come with me. Perhaps you can play an unexpected role in connecting the human brain to the Kloto system."

"Oh? You don't suspect I have ulterior motives?"

Lu Jin smiled broadly.

"Even if you have malicious intentions, at this point, dying at the hands of your own kin might be easier than dying in the mouths of those Devouring Beasts."

Jing Nan glanced at Lu Jin, who was standing beside him, out of the corner of his eye. Feigning nonchalance, he suddenly asked, "Do you want to come with me to the Dawn Hall?"

"What's the matter?"

Lu Jin was stunned.

Upon seeing his expression, Jingnan burst out laughing.

Realizing that he had been "teased," Lu Jin coughed awkwardly and said seriously, "I have no intention of performing a 'complete guide to gymnastics moves' naked while others are watching."

Since humans consider themselves superior to other species, they should at least have some sense of shame.

and also--

Have you ever considered that what Sister Hong said might be the true future of humanity in this world?

Jingnan remained silent.

Go down to the ground to compete with the Devouring Beasts for living space, reclaim the land, and complete a new round of evolution?

Looking at this issue from a historical perspective might be correct, since the humans on the lighthouse, whether upper class or lower class, lacked an important quality compared to Red Girl, Zhang Zhiwei, and Lu Jin:

courage.

Human ancestors, the ancient apes, had to set foot on the ground in order to survive, daring to face the challenges of various unknown predators, and thus gradually became the top species in the food chain.

And what about the humans on the lighthouse?

Even knowing the dangers on the ground, and even though Red Girl already understood how the mana ecosystem worked, few people changed their survival mindset...

What exactly do you mean?

Jingnan wasn't stupid; he questioned Lu Jin.

"Don't you think this 'accidental' event is a good opportunity for the people of Lighthouse to learn from their ancestors?" Lu Jin asked without hesitation.

"Stop! Making! Trouble!"

Jingnan gritted his teeth and said, word by word, "I am the chief commander of the Lighthouse Aviation Control Room. It is my duty to save the Lighthouse, get it to take off again, and get it out of this predicament!"

"understand!"

Lu Jin grinned. "So, I'm just informing you."

If you can't get the Kloto system to solve this problem, then the only option for the Lighthouse humans is to go to the surface and fight against the Mana ecosystem.

Even if the Lighthouse leadership doesn't choose—"

At this point, Lu Jin's smile faded, and pointing to the sky outside the lighthouse, she said with utmost seriousness, "There are also those who will force you to make a choice."

"You really believe in this so-called 'god'?" Jing Nan suspected that Lu Jin had gone mad.

"I don't believe it. If we were in ancient society, modern science and technology would be considered divine arts by the ancients, and practitioners like me would be considered gods."

Lu Jin chuckled coldly, "Without power equal to that of the being behind the Mana ecosystem, or without the ability to make it think 'humans are a problem,' don't expect it to have even the slightest influence on you or me..."

Respect.

The strong will choose to be tolerant and compassionate towards the weak, but will never be swayed by the thoughts of the weak.

This has always been the case.

Jingnan frowned, did not answer, and simply led Lu Jin to the archives room.

Upon entering the archives, one is greeted by a huge square petri dish containing a worm-like creature, as thick as a human arm.

Behind it was a desk with all sorts of parts and tools piled up haphazardly, and most eye-catching of all was a robot with only its upper body.

The robot wore headphones, had black hair and green eyes, and a face like a peach blossom, but it was missing its arms, making it look like a mechanical version of the Venus de Milo.

Jing Nan couldn't resist moving closer. Just as she was about to reach out and touch it, an old man walked out from behind, put one hand on the robot's left shoulder, and said in a flippant, slightly teasing tone, "Isn't he charming?"

He glanced at Lu Jin, then shifted most of his attention to Jing Nan, scrutinizing her face, chest, and thighs. He didn't look like a researcher at all, but rather more like a john and an old playboy.

"I never imagined that you would grow up to look exactly like Meiwei."

"Morgan has always treated you like a daughter... Haha, I never expected that."

Jing Nan frowned slightly at this, but did not reply. Instead, he stated his purpose: "Dr. Flynn, I hope you can help us overcome the bottleneck of the mismatch between neural signals between the human brain and the Kloto system."

Upon hearing this, Flynn was surprised and dropped his flippant attitude: "I was locked up here because of my brain-connection experiments. After all these years, has that old bastard Morgan finally come to his senses?"

“Dr. Flynn, the current city lord is Charles. The lighthouse is currently hovering, and the Devouring Beasts are watching us from below. The only chance of survival is to connect to the Kloto system.”

Having said that, Jingnan had already explained the general situation of the lighthouse, and said bluntly in an almost threatening tone, "If you want to leave here, you'd better solve this problem for me right now!"

Lu Jin, standing to the side, hadn't expected Jing Nan to be so assertive, but she could understand. As she had said, the lighthouse was in imminent danger, and they had to race against time.

but--

Is this how you beg for help?

Flynn raised an eyebrow, turned and went to the computer. He typed a few times on the keyboard, and the screen displayed information related to the robot on the desk, which only had an upper body, but it was a full-body version.

He held up three fingers and said, "If you want my help, you can, but you need to meet three conditions."

First, that old bastard Morgan imprisoned me for over a decade. He should come here and apologize to me!

Second, make Charles step down... I'll take over as city lord!

The third one—"

Flynn walked to Jingnan's side, sniffed the perfume emanating from her, and said with a look of enjoyment, "Go to the law firm and apply to complete the breeding mission with me."

"hehe!"

"Hahaha!"

Jingnan lowered his head and chuckled softly.

Lu Jin threw her head back and laughed loudly.

Chapter 1215 One Day Ago—Even Crying Counts as Time~

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"

Flynn was furious, especially when he saw Lu Jin smiling. He was even more enraged and demanded, "And who are you? Morgan's illegitimate son?"

"In the old world, I would clearly be a different race from you, wouldn't I?"

Lu Jin suppressed a laugh and introduced herself, "My name is Lu Jin. I am a survivor found on the ground by the Lighthouse. I was favored by the City Lord and became the head of the supplies distribution room."

If you don't try to please me, you might end up eating dirt in the future.

"you!"

Flynn stared, incredulous.

Is Charles out of his mind?

Why would they appoint a ground survivor as the head of the supplies distribution room?

"Also, I came here with Sister Jingnan to help her."

Lu Jin stepped forward, grabbed Flynn by the collar, and, under Jing Nan's dumbfounded gaze, slapped him twice, leaving him completely bewildered -o((⊙﹏⊙))o-, "Now I'll give you two choices: either cooperate, or I'll slap you twice more."

"You... Jingnan, aren't you going to take care of things?" Flynn asked, full of grievance.

Knowing that Lu Jin wouldn't really kill or even injure Flynn, but would only hurt him, Jing Nan suppressed his surprise and said in a deep voice, "Charles has to give him some leeway. I can't control that."

Flynn: "......"

"Choose quickly, I'll only give you thirty seconds."

As she spoke, Lu Jin raised her other hand again.

"Ah! Ugh! Bullying an old person! You two bastards!" Flynn yelled, somewhat unreasonably.

Lu Jin snorted and activated the Primordial Chaos Technique, which roared like a lion, causing Flynn to tremble as if he realized that Jing Nan had not lied.

This kid really commands respect from Charles!

"Don't cry, because crying counts as time too!"

Lu Jin chuckled, speaking in a tone he'd picked up from Zhang Muzhi, sounding more like a bandit than a bandit.

"Cooperate! I'll cooperate! Don't hit me! My computer is already on!" Flynn hurriedly agreed.

Boom!

The moment the words left his mouth, Flynn landed on his feet, finally feeling a little more at ease. Then he saw Lu Jin put his arm around his shoulder and laugh, "I knew the old man was sensible and a friend worth making!"

After saying that, he leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I understand your situation to some extent. I know you want to conduct an experiment connecting the human brain with the Kloto system—"

The current lighthouse crisis presents a rare opportunity, and Jingnan has offered you a way out. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity and instead try to negotiate, you will only humiliate yourself.

I was only thinking of your feelings; otherwise, you would not only be physically injured, but also mentally humiliated.

The young woman behind me is no pushover!

Flynn: "......"

This young man isn't just a reckless fool; he's quite shrewd too... Can that little rascal Charles really keep this boy in check?

Looking at Jingnan's attitude towards Lu Jin, Flynn realized that the Beacon wasn't just about Charles's rise to power. And then, recalling the young man's earlier claim of being a survivor from the ground...

This is an individual who is inside the lighthouse, yet outside the "governance" of the lighthouse system, unbound by the lighthouse's laws, yet still managed to obtain a position managing supplies from the current city lord, Charles...
