Girl dies in her dream life every day

"The thirteenth day is about to come. If we delay any further, the entire suspended tower will be in danger. We must connect to the ground within a month! So... find the Night Owl within a month. This is a death order!"

"...As you command, Lord Gao Tong."

The subordinate pushed Qualcomm's wheelchair. Although he agreed verbally, he sighed in his heart.

The suspended tower is not big, but it is not small either. Moreover, Night Owl is an assassin who is best at disguise and hiding. It is difficult to recognize him even face to face.

Unless you use spiritual baptism on all citizens one by one, it will be impossible to identify the Night Owl.

The problem is... not to mention the citizens' resistance to spiritual baptism, how can it be possible to baptize millions of citizens in the entire suspended tower?

In fact, many people in the Tower City now believe that Night Owl has escaped from the 132nd Suspension Tower.

Instead of hoping to find Night Owl in the tower, it is better to hope that the federal wanted order will be effective.

"If you know... why don't you do it?" Gao Tong looked up at his subordinates, "Is it fun to push a chair for me?"

The subordinate immediately let go of the wheelchair and bowed,

"Yes."

Then he left the place in a hurry.

At this time, Qualcomm was alone not far from the laboratory, watching coldly as the laboratory started to operate.

He did not speak again, and when the few researchers around him saw him, they carefully avoided him for fear of disturbing the mayor.

Gao Tong slowly closed his eyes, and he seemed to still hear the voice of his old friend in his ears.

"Look, Gao Tong, we succeeded! This is the awakening potion, it is the ticket that can turn an ordinary person into a person with special abilities!"

"With this, soon...human civilization will enter a brand new stage. Restarting all the technologies of the previous civilization is no longer a dream. The opportunity to explore deep space is right in front of us!"

"Qualcomm... stability is our current goal, not mass production. You are too impatient, which is wrong."

"What are you doing?! Gao Tong, you are harming people! The awakening potion is not stable enough, why did you secretly mass-produce it without telling me!"

"It's gone, all gone... a complete failure..."

"I'm sorry, Gao Tong, my brother, I can't accompany you any longer. I have been suffering a lot these days. Every time I close my eyes, I see countless crazy wronged souls wailing to me..."

Qualcomm slowly opened his eyes, and the laboratory in front of him seemed to be burning with fire.

A stern-looking middle-aged man looked at him desperately in the fire, his eyes seemed to say -

"Look at all this, what on earth have you done?"

His brother, Dr. Lingxi, died in such a fire.

Along with all the research data on the awakening potion, they were all buried in the flames.

All that was left was a charred body and scattered ashes.

The death of Dr. Lingxi almost closed the most important door in modern human civilization, and set back the research on people with special abilities by several days and nights.

From then on, the only thing left in this world was the Lingxi potion known as "Devil's Blood" still circulating on the black market, which also bore traces of that era.

It was Qualcomm's decision to mass-produce Lingxi Medicine because at that time, the No. 132 Suspension Tower no longer had any extra funds to support Qualcomm's research, and the interim research results had to be rewarded.

The appearance of the demon's blood brought a large amount of wealth to the No. 132 Suspended Tower, but before Qualcomm had time to invest the wealth in the research and development of potions, the hidden danger of unstable potions broke out.

Countless people have gone mad due to the side effects of the drug, and countless others have lost their lives forever because of these crazy and twisted awakeners.

In the end, Lingxi, filled with endless guilt, chose to die in the fire along with his life's work. Before he died, he sent his only daughter away and did not stay in the No. 132 suspended tower.

Perhaps...at that time, Lingxi had already foreseen what would happen today.

Just then, the door of the laboratory opened and Lingling walked out of the laboratory.

As soon as she saw Qualcomm outside the laboratory, she seemed to be startled and was about to go back into the laboratory.

"Little Doctor, are you done?" Gao Tong called out, with a gentler smile on his face, "Are you... planning on going out for dinner?"

"Yes, uncle." Lingling still lowered her head.

"Let me go with you," Gao Tong pushed the wheel of the wheelchair with his hands and turned it reluctantly. "It just so happens that uncle is hungry too."

"Ah."

Lingling responded, silently stood behind Gao Tong, and skillfully helped him push the wheelchair.

"Are you getting used to it lately?"

"Ah."

"You'll get used to it... Haha, I was a little worried that you wouldn't be able to adapt well. How about work? Are you tired?"

"...fine."

"These are all things left by your father. Only you can inherit everything from him. Of course...if you don't like it, you don't have to. Uncle won't force you."

"..."

Along the way, Gao Tong and Ling Ling chatted intermittently. It was basically Gao Tong who was greeting Ling Ling, and Ling Ling's answers never exceeded two words.

It was not until they entered the cafeteria on the eighth floor of the tower that Ling Ling finally mustered up the courage to stop and ask,

"Uncle, did you really not find Sister Xue'er?"

"No, what a pity." Gao Tong shook his head and sighed, "The wilderness is too dangerous, and she is so young. Once she gets lost... it will be difficult to find her again.

"I have sent many people with special abilities to look for her, but no trace of her body was found in the nearby fallen rocks. You saw it with your own eyes. There is really nothing we can do about it."

Before Lingling was brought back, Lingling was stubborn and unwilling to leave, and only wanted to find the missing Luo Xue.

But after searching for several days, nothing was found, not even a trace of the body.

There were only some signs of fighting in the woods, but it was obviously just Luo Xue's hunting the night before.

"Oh."

Lingling's disappointed expression was obvious.

Gao Tong saw this and frowned slightly.

The reason why he wanted to deal with the other children in the wilderness camp was because he was worried that these children would drag Ling Ling down.

Lingling is Lingxi's biological daughter. The blood relationship makes Lingling the most suitable carrier for "Lingxi's remains".

"Lingxi remains" certainly does not refer to Lingxi's corpse, but a technological product.

After Lingxi committed suicide and all research materials were destroyed, research on people with special abilities and awakening potions was completely discontinued. All of Qualcomm's previous investments and vision for the pre-civilization deep space era were burned to ashes.

But Gao Tong was not willing to let this go. He ordered to rescue Lingxi who had burned herself in the fire, but in the end he could only rescue Lingxi's charred body.

However, Lingxi's brain was not completely destroyed. Qualcomm took out Lingxi's brain, restored it through technical means, and uploaded the entire brain to the terminal, which was called "Lingxi's body."

"Lingxi Remains" is the only awakening potion material left for mankind so far.

It’s just that...the human brain is quite complex. Even with the special abilities of the capable and the technology of previous civilizations, it can only save information but cannot read it.

If you want to read information in the brain, you must have a carrier.

Unfortunately, no matter whether it is the top researchers or people with psychic abilities, they are unable to synchronize with the "Telepathic Remains" and serious rejection phenomena will occur.

After many experiments, a researcher who was a distant relative of Lingxi was accidentally asked to synchronize, and he showed amazing adaptability.

Previously, they could read only a few tenths of a percent at best, but researchers with distant relatives were able to reach 2 percent.

This finally made Qualcomm realize that it had to start with Lingxi's blood relationship before it could use the "Lingxi remains."

However, 2% was far from enough. Gao Tong suddenly remembered that Lingxi had a daughter who was born shortly before he committed suicide.

If the carrier of the "Lingxi remains" has a higher adaptability the closer the blood relationship, Lingling is undoubtedly the most suitable person in the world.

However, Lingxi had foreseen this, and he knew that his daughter should be the only way for this forbidden technology to return to the world.

But... Lingxi couldn't bear to kill her daughter after all, so she sent her to a gathering place for barbarians in the wilderness, hoping to avoid Gao Tong.

It took Gao Tong a lot of effort to find Lingling, but by then Lingling had already taken root in the gathering place, so it was not realistic to take her away by force.

"Lingxi's remains" does not turn Lingling into Lingxi, but allows Lingling to have Lingxi's thinking and all of Lingxi's knowledge, including the research on awakening potions.

Lingling must volunteer to advance the research; it is difficult to force her to do anything at this point.

So...the entire gathering place of the wastelanders is a burden to Lingling.

After the "Lingxi Laboratory Incident", the Federation has clearly banned research on awakening potions. The fewer people who know about this, the better.

Bringing an entire settlement of deserters back to the suspended tower would attract too much attention and could easily lead to complications.

If a few smarter ones emerge among these barbarians and cause some trouble, delaying the research, it would be a waste of time and effort.

Qualcomm never likes surprises.

more importantly...

The barbarians are not considered human beings.

For the suspended tower, the savages on the ground are not part of human civilization, and wanton massacres will not cause public outrage. At most, a few organizations will issue some mild condemnations.

Not to mention... Qualcomm is not a sentimental person. As a dictator hanging high in the tower, his humanity has been completely erased after the death of his only brother Lingxi.

Killing the entire gathering place of the deserted people by accident was the last mercy Gao Tong left for Lingling.

Anyway, the "Lingxi Body" still needs some time to debug and eliminate some memories that shouldn't exist, so the assassination has always been slow.

I just didn't expect...

Luo Xue, the last survivor of the wasteland settlement, was never found dead after she fell into trouble.

Night Owl, who was in charge of the assassination, had clearly said that she was trapped under the fallen rocks and there was no way she could escape.

But after searching the entire pile of fallen rocks, they couldn't find even a trace of blood.

Because of this, Ling Ling, who witnessed all of this, still held on to a glimmer of false hope, always delusionally imagining that her sister Xue'er was still alive, and begged Gao Tong to help find her.

When Gao Tong and Ling Ling were still waiting for the food to be served in the cafeteria, his subordinates suddenly rushed over and whispered something in Gao Tong's ear.

Gao Tong listened calmly, then nodded to his subordinate, signaling him to leave.

After that, he turned his head to look at Ling Ling who was standing beside him in a reserved manner and said softly,

"Little Doctor, please stop researching for a few days."

"what?"

Lingling looked up blankly.

"We've sent a few people to visit us, so we need to make some preparations in the lab." Gao Tong said with a smile, "You can go home and rest for a few days. Uncle will introduce you to some new friends to play with."

Chapter 136: Conjectures about other worlds, world bubbles and string vibrations

The second floor of the No. 132 suspended base.

The roar of machines running around was endless, and the pungent smell of engine oil was everywhere.

The turbid air is filled with dust particles that are difficult to see with the naked eye, and the Tyndall effect captures the dim light.

The silent man was wearing a pair of white gloves and holding a cloth bag in his hand. No one knew what was inside.

"Good morning, Mr. Ye Xiao. Would you like to try the new No. 6 vegetarian paste launched in the cultivation base? I heard that it tastes similar to the green vegetables that the big shots on the upper three floors can eat."

The young vendor was enthusiastically selling his wares to the man. The stall in front of him was filled with a variety of colorful paste-like foods, all packed in plastic sleeves made of some cheap material.

The man stopped and looked carefully at the paste-like food on the stall, then nodded slightly.

"Well, give me some."

The hawker was obviously very familiar with the man called Ye Xiao. While watching Ye Xiao choose, he chatted with him about some family matters.

They complained that the taxes on the suspended tower had increased a lot recently, and that the environment had deteriorated due to the over-operation of the tower's core. In addition, they had to conduct large-scale searches every now and then, and I heard that they were going to conduct another search soon.

Ye Xiao just listened without making any comments.

The citizens on the lower three floors are all staff members who maintain the operation of the tower and generally do not stray too far from their work areas.

Ye Xiao has been working here for two years and has become quite familiar with the people here.

"That's all."

Ye Xiao picked out three vegetarian creams and put them into his bag, then wiped the slightly stained white gloves on his clothes.

"Six credit points in total - Oh, by the way, Mr. Ye Xiao, do you still have a quota of fabric?" The vendor scratched his head embarrassedly, "My girlfriend wants to buy a new dress recently...but my quota has been used up."

"There's quite a bit left. I'll give it all to you." Ye Xiao nodded. "Anyway... I don't need much throughout the year."
