He was imprisoned in Nibelungen for a thousand years, only to find out upon his release that he was

Inside the laboratory, when the three entered, Ereshkigal had already compiled the deciphered records.

"It's actually a paper document record?"

Lu Ming took the document, brushed away the dust, and a series of experimental data and symbols came into view. After a quick flip through it, he could vaguely tell from a few cross-sectional diagrams that this thing was a human experiment.

Francesca hopped and jumped onto the table, swinging her body. "After all, it's been around for decades. If it were records from when it was first established, it certainly wouldn't have used many electronic devices."

"So, when is the earliest record... uh, sixty years ago, 1950?"

Putting aside other technical data, at least everyone can understand the Gregorian calendar dates marked above at a glance.

Ai Lei replied, "If there are no other missing records, 1950 should be the earliest date!"

Lu Ming said, "It seems that Odin has been weaving His web of conspiracies since at least that time!"

Speaking of the internet, Lu Ming suddenly thought of the most powerful and mysterious website in the original Dragon Raja novel—Hunter Network, a place that even the world's strongest artificial intelligence, "Norma (EVA)," could not break through.

The website administrator is named Nido, which spelled backwards is Odin! And a place that even EVA couldn't solve must be hiding even more amazing computer science achievements!

"By the way, let's put the human experiment records aside for now! Are there any computer-related experiment records since 1950? I know, this is definitely related to Odin."

Lu Ming asked a question.

There probably wasn't a Hunter's Network back then, but given the dragons' advanced technology, they might have uncovered something truly remarkable.

Human experimentation may not be unusual, and there is a possibility of misjudgment.

However, if we can find computer science achievements that transcend the mundane, then it's 100% related to Odin. Norma, on the other hand, was only created in the early 21st century, so the timeline doesn't match.

Ishtar pursed her lips. The place that studies the human body also does information engineering. Although as a god she doesn't think much of modern science, she can tell with her toes that these are two different fields.

If she can find it, she'll admit defeat!

Francesca tilted her head. "Unless it involves the realm of the supernatural, the earliest computer in reality was invented in 1946."

"Hey, hey, I found a report from early 1950s that says 'Laplace Computer Demon'!" Irene pulled out a stack of old papers.

(Laplace's Computer Demon, the beginning of the Chaldea Project and the earliest completed important intelligence facility)

Ishtar: "?"

How did you actually find it? Are you still going to oppose me at a time like this?!

Francesca craned her neck and darted over to peek:

"That's called a project completion report. It means the project is finished and the Laplace computer magic has been developed."

At the same time, her curiosity was piqued, and her already joyful mood became even more excited and vigorous.

This Area 51 research institute actually hides so many secrets?

And Lu Ming was right. Could it be that Odin has a deeper plan for this place?

P.S. Area 51 in America is the only area on Planet Galactic that wasn't completely wiped out, and it's also the location of the research institute where the Director was sent after his fall.

P.S. 2. Furthermore, Area 51 is located northwest of Las Vegas, adjacent to Snowfield (slightly north of Las Vegas).

Volume 1: Chapter 15 Odin is terrifying, but with Lu Ming around, he's not.

“Laplace Computer Magic…” Francesca snatched the final report, her fair hands trembling slightly, her excitement beyond words.

It's worth noting that she has been in contact and cooperating with the American government for many years.

She was one of the organizers of this counterfeit Holy Grail War, which was located in Snowfield City and had been in preparation for decades. Many inside stories and developments were almost transparent to her.

Logically speaking, even if unexpected situations occur, they will most likely be related to the Holy Grail War.

However, this was the first time Francesca had known that other ruthless jobs were hidden near Snowfield City.

According to America's administrative divisions, Area 51 is indeed right next to Snowfield City.

It was originally just an ordinary military base, with at most some absurd and unfounded alien rumors.

Moreover, America's military bases are scattered across the globe, numbering in the hundreds. Francesca couldn't possibly focus on each and every one of these secular military matters. She suspected that even Fadius, who also had a military organization, might not be aware of the intricacies.

It's quite normal that the one in charge of the counterfeit Holy Grail War and the one in charge of Area 51 are likely not subordinate to each other.

"Hehe, although the information recorded in this report is incomplete, and a lot of key content involving personnel identities and technical details has been erased, it should be due to confidentiality regulations!"

"However, it's not a big problem. We can start by analyzing the report's writing logic, formatting differences, and so on... Hmm... at least two, no, at least three forces are involved!"

Even if we exclude the US, there are still at least two other forces at play!

"Oh, I see, I see! What a grand gesture! Hahahaha!"

Francesca had no interest in caring about what the leaders of America, a young country, were planning.

Suddenly stumbling upon the secrets buried in this Area 51 research institute, who could resist the urge to investigate thoroughly without getting red in the face?

As for why she was familiar with the reporting style of the US side?

Well, it's very simple. When you're bored, just sneak a peek at the reports that Fadius submits to his superiors, and you'll be pretty much familiar with it.

"See? I told you there was a problem from the beginning!"

Lu Ming slammed his fist on the table and said, "Inhumane experiments may have been carried out by more than one person, but with so many involved, it must be closely related to Odin!"

"Besides, I've been imprisoned in this place by Odin for sixty years. In other words, I was captured by Odin and brought to this world in 1950! There's a thousand percent problem with that timeline!"

Wait, 1950, 60 years ago...

Francesca's pupils contracted after Lu Ming's reminder, and she suddenly remembered another suspicious place.

Xueyuan City also suddenly prospered 60 years ago.

Because it was precisely at that time that this place was chosen as the venue for the counterfeit Holy Grail War, and decades of construction work began.

From high-precision cameras in the streets and alleys, to the network of familiars constructed by living beings such as insects, mice, and birds, to the suggestive magic hidden in infrastructure such as giant screens and billboards, to the monitoring and detection based on the location, or the functional barriers that drive away idlers...

These things were not achieved overnight, but were the result of generations of hard work by the Fadius and other magic families, with the support of the upper echelons of America.

The stated reason is to make the Holy Grail War more manageable, but in reality, it might also be a cover for Area 51 next door.

Did Fadius and his gang really not know the secrets of Area 51?

Not necessarily! Even if communication is restricted due to work confidentiality regulations, you should have heard about it.

Believe it or not, the more you dig, the more you find in this place!

Odin, what have you been plotting for decades?

Francesca's face flushed slightly as she thought about the endless fun that awaited her.

"Well, this place is definitely not simple. Maybe the whole city is the product of a conspiracy... We're so grateful to you for discovering all this!"

"Lu Ming, meeting you is just too wonderful! Hehe, from now on, can I always follow in your footsteps?"

The girl in the gothic dress excitedly rushed over, her soft body swaying on Lu Ming's shoulders, her nose lightly touching his neck.

His perfect body smells so good...!

“Of course!... People like you and me have long seen through Odin’s schemes—His minions are everywhere, his tentacles have penetrated deep into the upper echelons of noble families, and cities have become his testing grounds!”

"But most people outside don't know this. They'll say I'm crazy, but I won't. I want to prove I'm not wrong! I'll record all of today's discoveries in the Abyss of Odin as indelible evidence of His sins!"

Lu Ming's tone was impassioned, and as he grasped the girl's hand, he spoke solemnly, as if recruiting a trusted minister:

"Francesca, a person of your insight is rare indeed. Let's work together. When we can communicate with the outside world, that will be the day Odin's sinful life comes to light!"

"Yay! Yay!" Francesca cheered. "Down with Odin! Down with Odin!"

Ishtar: "..."

Oh no, the Odin conspiracy theory is starting to spread, from one to two.

She felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, as if she could see two psychopaths resonating with each other, their thoughts in sync, singing and dancing in front of her as if no one else was there, immersed in the triumphant celebration of "finally finding their tribe."

Snapped!

Suddenly, the report in Irene's hand slipped from her grasp and fell to the floor, scattering in disarray, mirroring her current state of mind. Her eyes reflected the intertwined figures of Lu Ming and Francesca, her face turning ashen.

"what about me?"

Why did it turn out like this? It was me. I was the one who arrived first. We clearly agreed that I was the best partner...

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Ming replied firmly:

“Ereshkigal, the road ahead is fraught with peril. Odin’s great hand has already enveloped the earth. This is destined to be a bitter journey filled with battles and strife. Are you willing to come with me? We will not abandon or betray each other along the way, until the very end.”

Is it the end of death (the underworld)?

The goddess of the underworld seemed to be gently touched as she looked at Lu Ming's outstretched hand.

Ishtar's eye twitched. "Sister, don't go any further! That's hell ahead!"

She had always looked down on this gloomy, reclusive, innocent, and kind-hearted nemesis, but at this moment, she actually had a sliver of hope that her nemesis could stand on the same side as her and not be deceived.

But Ai Lei stepped forward decisively, gently placing her hand on Odin's and interlocking their fingers. "I'm willing. Odin is indeed very bad and scary, but because Lu Ming is here, so... he's not scary!"

Odin conspiracy theory +1.

Ishtar: "..."

There are no humans left.

P.S. The original text of Fate Strange Fake: "...However, this place has been developing rapidly since about sixty years ago, and now, across the 21st century, it has transformed into a city with a population of 800,000 (Snowfield City)."

Volume 1: Chapter 16 This is no challenge for him at all!

Outside, in Xueyuan City.

As night gradually faded and the sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn, the staff at the Kozman Special Orthodontic Center, who had been busy all night, still had no one to change shifts or rest.

Everyone was frantically busy, anxiously and impatiently dealing with the unexpected situation of the Holy Grail War "movie viewing incident".

Fadius also looked worried.

He also stayed up all night.

Although it was expected that there would inevitably be some oversights in organizing the Holy Grail War for the first time, who the hell could have imagined that such a large-scale accident would occur!

What do you mean by their meticulously constructed Snowfield City, with its land veins linking to a large-scale "other world"?

What do you mean by a god-level being suddenly appearing in this other world, and possibly Odin from Norse mythology?

What do you mean there's someone inside who can fight Odin? And then this record was accidentally leaked to the public due to a malfunction in their own detection spell?

Fadius desperately wished that Francesca hadn't vanished at the moment the accident happened.

Although this old woman has a crazy and unpleasant personality, at least her unconventional illusion magic is perfect for handling this sudden situation.

However, Fadius was completely unaware that his longtime partner had quietly betrayed him and switched sides.

They even started to turn their guns around and began to doubt themselves.

“Mr. Dioran, this is the current state of our emergency response tonight.”

Adela's assistant hurriedly handed over the report; she herself was visibly exhausted.

If your boss volunteers to work overtime all night, how dare you slack off?

Unwittingly falling into the trap of involution could lead to job loss, a zero credit score, and being cut off from your life!

As Fadius read the video, she took the initiative to explain, "The video in the night sky lasted for three minutes and 22 seconds. It is certain that it was witnessed by all Masters and most residents of Snowfield City."

"We urgently launched a citywide suggestive magic to erase the memories of ordinary residents, but before that, a considerable number of people had already taken photos and uploaded them to the internet, where they spread extremely quickly."

Fadius frowned. "Have you contacted CISA (the American version of the Internet Security Authority) yet?"

Adela was helpless:

“We notified them immediately and informed them of the urgency of the situation, but… by the time the ban was implemented, the video content had already spread, and it is impossible to count exactly how many people had secretly downloaded and saved it.”

There's no other way; going through all these procedures takes time.

The high-ranking military and political officials directly under them can give them the green light in matters concerning Xueyuan City, but they cannot grant them too much authority outside of Xueyuan City unless there is a prior plan.

—Who the hell could have predicted this absurd development of citywide moviegoing?!

So when we contacted each other, CISA said, "I know you Snowfield City is in a hurry, but please don't rush. It's already this late, don't bother the gentlemen, understand? Besides, Commissioner Smith also needs to make a living!"

"The current remedial measures are to enhance the guidance on 'weather disasters' and 'technical errors' while contacting weather stations, Hollywood and several technology companies to spread misleading information."

"We believe this approach is more reasonable. Even if public opinion takes hold or a similar incident occurs again, people will not associate it with anything mysterious."

There was no other way; a natural gas company had already been sacrificed to explain the giant crater left behind after Gilgamesh's battle with Enkidu.

This has already spread beyond Xueyuan City, so even the universal excuse of a natural gas explosion is no longer valid.
