"no..."

Jiang Shu swallowed, feeling a chill run through her body.

This feeling is even more terrifying than having your two-dimensional identity exposed in the three-dimensional world.

In other words, my name wasn't mentioned in the document, otherwise I really would have called the police.

After calming down a bit, countless questions filled Jiang Shu's mind.

"Why would he have these things..." He couldn't understand it at all.

Almost every document records an incubator, down to the exact location.

However, as far as Jiang Shu knows, apart from the trial incubation field he entered, which is the "Day of Great Joy," he didn't know how it was triggered after he arrived at his destination.

All other hatcheries can be accessed directly using the Evolver System.

Jiang Shu had never heard of any other hatchery that could be located down to a specific location.

Could it be that incubators will actually appear in reality?

More importantly, what is the stance and purpose of the person who made this record, regardless of whether they are a friend or not?

Judging from the records, it's really hard to tell what stance he took when compiling these materials.

It's as objective as an observer conducting an experiment, simply recording the phenomena without offering any explanation or opinion.

From this perspective, it seems quite like the behavior of a close friend.

After all, he used to write reports in this rigorous style.

Recalling their casual conversation that day, during which the other person intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the places they had visited over the years, Jiang Shu was surprised to find that many of them matched the locations recorded in the document.

"Do these hatcheries...have any special significance?"

Without thinking twice, Jiang Shu copied all the documents and sent them to his email address.

He plans to find a way to investigate these hatcheries.

After doing all this, Jiang Shu's expression became extremely complicated.

He now understands something a little better.

If his friend knew about the existence of the Bureau of Dissidents, then he should have known that a disappearance that left the police helpless would inevitably attract the attention of the Bureau of Dissidents.

If he makes a big fuss, the Bureau of Unification will definitely intervene and investigate.

So, did he just want the Bureau of Different Affairs to get involved in something, or was he planning to send a message through this?

Jiang Shu narrowed his eyes, sensing something was wrong.

The document titled "[Auspicious Day]" should contain my own information.

If the deaths of the abbots of Yunfu Temple are all recorded, then why are there no records of how they died, why they died, and who killed them?

There wasn't even a single relevant piece of information or clue.

Moreover, even though the Bureau of Different Affairs intervened in the Yunfu Temple incident, his own presence was deliberately concealed each time.

The person who kept the records could even find out if there were any strategies for the incubator or whether the abbot of Yunfu Temple had benefited from it. Jiang Shu didn't believe that they couldn't discover that he was present every time.

This is illogical.

"Is he an advanced evolved being?" Jiang Shu speculated.

But upon closer reflection, it seems unlikely.

If someone is an advanced evolved being and wants to create the illusion of their mysterious disappearance, they wouldn't need to go through all this trouble; there are plenty of even stranger and more clueless methods.

Jiang Shu felt that her friend's actions were merely the limit that an ordinary person could achieve.

So here's the question: if it was just to attract the attention of the Bureau of Unification, that would be understandable. But if it was to convey some message, why didn't it leave anything behind?

Thinking about all the strange things that happened after I met my friend.

Jiang Shu frowned.

"It can't be... that all of this was prepared for me, can it?"

Chapter 137 So that's where you were waiting for me.

When this guess came to Jiang Shu's mind, even he was startled.

It's already unbelievable enough that an ordinary person could transform into a mysterious figure who knows these things; if their purpose is to pass this information on to you, then it becomes even more chilling.

However, Jiang Shu couldn't think of any other possibility besides this reason.

If the other party wanted to convey something to the Bureau of Different Principles, and that's why they made the disappearance so noticeable, then Bai Lian and the other investigators should have already discovered it beforehand. They wouldn't have waited until I arrived to make a discovery based on my understanding of them and some habits they had from university.

However, it makes much more sense if he intends to obtain this information through the Bureau of Different Organizations, since the other party is very familiar with the Yunfu Temple incident from beginning to end, so they must also know that he has joined the Bureau of Different Organizations. Therefore, if the Bureau of Different Organizations can be made to pay attention to this, then he will definitely be able to find out as well.

It just so happened that I wanted to invite him to dinner today, so I actually came to his door before the news even got out.

But...

Thinking about this, Jiang Shu felt a little strange again.

How can the other party be so sure that the message will definitely reach them?

Given that the Bureau of Alien Affairs handles so many matters and has so many operators carrying out missions every day, even if something is strange, it may not necessarily reach the ears of every operator.

Jiang Shu had no clue at the moment.

Moreover, there is another point that is also worth noting.

It's certain that my friend isn't alone.

Firstly, his disappearance must have involved someone helping him.

Secondly, if all this information was collected by him alone, then there is no need to hide it or omit his own existence.

If only he can see it, then it's essentially a diary. Who would deliberately create mystery in their own diary?

Therefore, Jiang Shu concluded that other people could see these documents.

The friend omitted himself from the record, actually to prevent those people from discovering his existence.

Just as Jiang Shu was thinking about this, there was a knock on the door.

Jiang Shu quickly closed the document and then looked towards the door.

Aunt Wang pushed open the door and came in, her face showing a hint of apology: "Xiao Jiang, I heard from the hospital that Cheng Ji's father seems to be doing better. He has been transferred from the intensive care unit to a regular ward. I'm planning to go and see him."

"Really? That's great." Jiang Shu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's alright, Auntie. I was just about to leave too, but I have something to do and I might not be able to go with you to see Uncle."

He's currently very upset and doesn't have the energy to go to the hospital for any more trouble.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang quickly explained, "I'm not urging you to leave. I mean, could I trouble you a little longer and ask you to stay here tonight?"

"Huh?" Jiang Shu was taken aback, somewhat confused.

With a sigh, Aunt Wang said, "In fact, I should have gone to the hospital to take care of his father since he was hospitalized, but I was afraid that Chengji might not be back for a while, so I have been waiting at home with his phone and asked his aunt to help keep an eye on things over there."

But since you're here now, I was thinking of asking if you could stay here temporarily tonight and look after the house for me, so I can go to the hospital to see his father without worry.

Jiang Shu naturally wouldn't refuse; in fact, he also wanted to stay and see if there were any other discoveries.

So he nodded: "No problem, but I have to go to work tomorrow morning, so you'd better come back early tomorrow morning."

"I know, it won't delay you," Aunt Wang said.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Shu asked, "Auntie, why don't you just give me Cheng Ji's phone too?"

"What do you need his phone for?" Aunt Wang was clearly hesitant.

“I want to see if I can find anything,” Jiang Shu said. “Anyway, I’ll call you immediately if anything happens. It doesn’t matter who has his phone.”

"Hmm... okay." Aunt Wang finally handed the phone to Jiang Shu.

Not long after, Aunt Wang packed her things, took some useful daily necessities, and left home.

Jiang Shu, meanwhile, continued tinkering with her friend's computer.

Unfortunately, no new discoveries were made after that.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Shu went to the kitchen, mixed some flour and water together, rolled it into a sticky little ball, and then stuck it on the computer's webcam.

Immediately afterwards, he opened the website his friend used to host videos.

Jiang Shu originally planned to borrow her friend's phone to avoid the trouble of cracking the password.

Surprisingly, logging into this website didn't require a commonly used phone number or password.

This is because it is not a local website and is highly encrypted.

If Jiang Shu tries to force his way in, he will inevitably be discovered and stopped. Unless he attacks the entire website, even Jiang Shu would find it difficult to sneak in.

But at this stage, nothing is clear, so of course it's impossible to do that.

If this website is something like DingTalk, belonging to the company website of my friend and the person behind them, even if I don't know why, my friend is trying so hard to hide himself, and I'm even exposing myself, wouldn't that be a waste of my friend's efforts?

Unfortunately, Jiang Shu had no choice but to temporarily shelve this lead.

He then turned his attention back to the hatchery information in the document, which he had only glanced at briefly before, and began to study it carefully.

Apart from the "Great Joy Day", the information on the other hatcheries is more detailed. Although there are some that have not been completed, most of them have been completed.

Jiang Shu didn't pay much attention to these things; his main concern was the impact these incubators would have on reality, or rather, who the people associated with them were.

Although Jiang Shu had never met or even heard of any of the people mentioned, except for the deceased abbot of Yunfu Temple, he had a hunch that he would meet them sooner or later.

Before I knew it, it was the middle of the night.

Having memorized almost everything, Jiang Shu turned off the computer, quickly washed her face, and went to the living room. She then lay down on the sofa, closed her eyes, and began to review everything that had happened recently.

It all started when a friend suddenly contacted me, saying that he had returned to Tancheng and asked if I had time to get together.

Jiang Shu initially wanted to choose a lively place within the Second Ring Road, such as a bar street, to meet her friend. However, her friend said that she had to go to work the next day, and if it was too far away, the two of them wouldn't be able to play for long, and it would take a lot of time to get there.

So Jiang Shu simply let the other party choose the location.

As a result, the other party successfully set the meeting place near Yunfu Temple.

During the conversation, the other party specifically mentioned that I should visit a temple to pray when I have time, which gave me a psychological suggestion. So when I saw that there was a relatively efficacious temple nearby, I had the idea of ​​going out to take a look.

"Now it seems that none of this is a coincidence..." Jiang Shu sighed.

Once you have this line of thinking, anything a friend said at the time now seems to carry a deeper meaning—

"Tell me if you can't hold on any longer, and I'll be there for you."

At the time, I just thought he was saying that he couldn't hold on because of his illness.

But now that I think about it, could it be that something else just couldn't hold on?

For example... being unable to survive in the world of evolved beings?

Jiang Shu didn't know.

However, at least for now, although the world of the evolved beings is very complex, it is not beyond my ability to cope with.

Could it be that my friend discovered this and that's why they went missing?

"That means you really underestimated me from the start."

Jiang Shu muttered to himself, but suddenly, he thought of something, sat up from the sofa, and frowned.

The person who disappeared early yesterday morning...

At that time... I should have been in Lie Town, right?

......

Nothing happened that night.

Aunt Wang returned around seven o'clock in the morning.

After informing the other party of the peaceful situation last night and briefly inquiring about his friend's father, Jiang Shu returned the phone to the other party, then left his friend's house and headed to the Bureau of Unification.

It was clear that nothing had happened last night, which disappointed Aunt Wang, but now that things had come to this, Jiang Shu couldn't offer any more comfort.

After leaving the residential area, Jiang Shu hailed a car, and half an hour later, he arrived at the Bureau of Different Principles.

Upon entering Group Six, he saw Bai Lian lying face down on the table.

It looks just like a high school student who's dozing off during morning self-study after staying up all night.

Jiang Shu cautiously approached her and bent down: "Dragon~ War Dragon~ Super Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior~"
