[Encrypted Experiment Record 3:

··· (Bloodstain) ···005 continues to maintain its influence on the descendants of the Feathered Serpent Kingdom and several other local governments that it had affected during the final periods of great catastrophes.

Investigations by the Federation have revealed that they have formed a special hidden organization with the goal of rescuing 005.

Through ··· (Bloodstain) ··· methods of verification, it is known that the more information one has about 005, the more memories related to 005 one has, the greater the possibility of being affected by 005.

Even without direct contact with 005, simply by reading the detailed information related to 005, it is still possible for one to have their memories and destiny modified by 005 through connection.]

He Ao gazed at the experiment record in his field of view.

These two experiment records are actually talking about the same thing.

possesses a certain ability that, as long as one becomes aware of it, it can find them through those memories and cognition, and exert influence to modify their memories and destiny to some extent.

Especially when it is trapped, it uses this spreading ’knowledge’, through an outsider’s ’cognition’, to bypass the seals and researchers in order to control people outside to rescue itself.

From the ’Encrypted Experiment Record 3’, since the ’Federation’ is aware of the existence of the hidden organization aiming to rescue 005, they must have clashed with that organization.

It is highly likely that it was during the clash that they discovered this particular ability of 005.

Perhaps even someone from the hidden organization has infiltrated this research institute, and in the fierce confrontation, became an ’experiment record’.

Actual combat is also a part of the experiment.

Putting aside his divergent thoughts, He Ao looked thoughtful and lifted his head, observing the skeletons around him.

If someone stumbled in here and formed a relationship with 005, then to prevent 005 from having an additional chance to break free, they would be made to stay here forever.

He Ao withdrew his gaze and looked at the Dry Corpse beside him.

So, is this the reason for the existence of the ’Gatekeeping Curse’?

Did this Martial Arts Expert, who died centuries ago, create this Curse using some Secret Technique, sacrificing his own flesh and Soul?

He Ao’s gaze turned towards the dark and vast hall.

Did those researchers commit suicide for the same reason? To prevent themselves from aiding 005’s ’escape’? So they chose to remain here forever?

Until the ’Federation’s’ reinforcements arrived?

It’s a bit radical, isn’t it? What if 005 had also arranged for people outside?

He Ao lowered his gaze to the Dry Corpse on the ground, recalling the diaries he had seen on the device.

From the information in the diary opposing the sealing of 005.

It is very likely that these researchers were influenced by 005 long ago, and this Martial Arts Expert was actually one of the later ones affected.

At that time, they really had no other choice, not knowing whether they would become accomplices of 005, nor having any way to resolve the situation back then; so they could only choose the most secure method in desperation, ’suicide’.

No, as shown by the case of Ruoke En, 005 actually has the ability to construct one’s memories from the ground up, at least capable of doing so without letting the person realize it.

Even if some researchers were experienced enough to notice changes in their memories, it’s unlikely that most of them would have a ’profound’ awareness of the current situation to collectively choose ’suicide’.

Was there a ’presence’ that gave everyone a push in the depths of their consciousness?

And this ’presence’ is most likely...

He Ao was slightly startled, his gaze landing on the deepest center of the dark Shadow.

Vaguely, as if seeing in the center, a pedestal standing, covered with fragments of a transparent dome.

005: Fate Spinning Wheel.

’005 has, subjectively, some form of intelligence, and holds disdain for any living lifeform, with a passion for chaos, destruction, and slaughter.’

likely ’arranged’ from the beginning for someone to ’receive’ it; it does not need these researchers’ help.

It was more keen on watching these researchers commit suicide in despair.

In the eyes of the mighty Angel, humans were nothing but lowly ants.

The threads of fate were attached to the spinning wheel, then turned capriciously.

He Ao withdrew his gaze, looking at the dry corpse in front of him that had long been dead.

On those withered cheeks, one could faintly see two dark, congealed blood tears.

He Ao took another look at the surrounding darkness.

Clearly, 005 was not able to weave its own fate.

After driving these ’researchers’ to suicide, it did not wait for the person it had arranged, but instead waited for the Angel of the ruins who arrived earlier, and was thoroughly sealed according to plan under the High Tower fifty kilometers away.

Taking a slight breath, He Ao lowered his head and continued flipping through the documents in his hands.

The blood had seeped in not only from the front but also from the sides, causing the stains on the preceding and following pages not to diminish gradually; the bloodstains on the page He Ao just turned to were sometimes even much more than the previous one.

Of course, compared to the ’nonsense’ in the apparatus just now, the information contained in the text recorded on these pages was still a bit more substantial.

[Encrypted···(bloodstain)···:

···(bloodstain)···It is known that 005 harbors strong disgust and resistance towards supernatural abilities related to the mind, intentionally avoiding life forms that carry related scents.

···(bloodstain)···Mental abilities can counteract 005’s powers to some extent.]

Looking at this record, He Ao was reminded of the ’Mind Badge’ that all researchers were required to wear as mentioned earlier.

Because this pattern was discovered, did they come up with this Mind Badge? To reduce the influence of 005 on researchers?

But the document also mentioned that 005 detested the scent related to the mind, actively circumventing those attached to it.

And mental-related powers could only counter 005 to a certain degree; as long as 005 overcomes its aversion, then the researchers would still be affected.

However, what exactly is this ’power’ related to the mind?

Mind Reader? Psychologist? Or the power of a Higher Being that can affect the mind?

After noting down this information, He Ao continued to flip through.

The following pages were blurred with thick crusts of coagulated blood, sticking the text together. After skipping these pages, a new interface appeared in He Ao’s field of view.

[Encrypted Journal 07:

exhibited strong contamination; many researchers were affected, its memory modification was very covert. We discovered that outsiders contaminated by it had infiltrated the Research Institute; we must further strengthen various regulations and detection.]

It seemed that the earlier guess was correct; indeed, people who were influenced had infiltrated the Research Institute, and then were discovered.

He Ao continued to flip forward.

The further pages had more blood soaking, most of the text was enshrouded in the blood crust.

The subsequent experimental logs were intermittent; some were polluted by blood, some were not, but most were experimental observations with overlapping content with experimental records.

Until He Ao reached the last few pages, several journal entries appeared in his view.

[Encrypted Journal 175:

▋▋▋Your Excellency believes that 005 is very likely related to a certain Angel Tier Talent Sequence. With ▋▋▋Your Excellency’s permission, the Research Institute applied to the Federation Library for access to the Angel Tier Talent Sequence period table.]

······

[Encrypted Journal 189:

We did not find information related to 005 within the Angel Tier Talent Sequences collected by the Federation. ▋▋▋Your Excellency believes that 005 may help us create a new Angel Tier Excellency, so we reported the information to the Federation.

The Federation supported our conjecture, and the History Research Institute and Truth Research Institute were commissioned to investigate the relevant situation.]

······

[Day 236 of Encryption:

···(Bloodstain)··· The Federation seized a batch of contaminated knowledge from a lair of the Knowledge Sect. The Truth Research Institute, after processing the knowledge, believes that one of them might be related to 005.

···(Bloodstain)···]

Most of the following text was obscured by bloodstains. He Ao’s gaze quickly moved downward until on the very last line of the page, he saw a row of blurred letters smudged with fresh blood.

[···(Bloodstain)···Talent Sequence 272: Memory Inheritor···(Bloodstain)···]

He Ao’s gaze suddenly froze.

His original self’s gaze naturally swept over the Personal Attributes interface and saw ’Talent Sequence 272: Super Memory (B-Tier)’ listed there.

The names are different, why?

Is one of the names incorrect? Or does this Talent Sequence inherently have two names?

The name of a Talent Sequence often signifies a certain characteristic of the Talent Sequence; this is the most basic knowledge of Mysticism.

’Memory Inheritor’ is an A-Tier Angel.

While ’Super Memory’ initially was only an F-Tier Talent Sequence.

Do different names imply something ’special’?

Super Memory was dropped by a good friend’s sub-body, and data on Memory Inheritors also fell from a Church lair belonging to a good friend.

The power attribute of a good friend is gray-white, while Super Memory is purple, meaning it’s very possible that a good friend and Super Memory are not at all related.

But still, He/She/It is studying ’Super Memory’ or rather ’Memory Inheritor’?

A myriad of doubts surfaced in He Ao’s mind, turning into a perplexing chaos.

Is ’Super Memory’ special, or is ’Memory Inheritor’ the special one?

The initial information about ’Super Memory’ came to He Ao from a Yezola’s dungeon replica, from the mouths of the ’mercenaries’ hired by Selena.

And the information those mercenaries knew came from the black market.

On the black market, someone was offering ten million federal coins as a bounty to ’buy’ Super Memory.

In the dungeon world, ’black market’ has two meanings; the first is a general reference to some kind of underground trading market, and the second is specifically the largest underground trading network platform in the dungeon world.

In the Xito Replica, He Ao once obtained a ’black market platform’ account with low permissions, but he did not find any commission relevant to ’Super Memory’.

Suppressing the surging thoughts in his heart, He Ao continued to go through the papers on the ground.

Almost all of the documents behind were covered with scabs of blood, leaving no clear writing until He Ao turned to the last page.

On this sheet, the font was no longer printed but rather some kind of handwriting with a fountain pen.

[No one can be trusted, including myself.]

The person who wrote this seemed to be in very poor condition, and the writing was slanted and twisted, with the dark ink stained with deep red, as if mixed with blood.

[005 has completely gone out of control; our memories have all been modified, and I don’t know which are real memories and which are modified ones.]

[The reference diary is fine, and so is the record data. It avoided the text we recorded, altering things that we ourselves hadn’t even noticed.]

[Weisite was right, diaries can’t record everything, while 005 can stir up whatever it wants in our brains.]

[They refused to believe my judgment; they all thought I was mad. I can’t find proof, but I know we have all been contaminated.]

[Weisite told me he thought I made sense, and then he took me to see the Psychologist.]

[The doctor’s memory has been modified as well, I am certain of it.]

[Am I the only one who is lucid? Or is my ’lucidity’ just part of 005’s arrangement?]

[Have I really gone insane?]

[I must pass the information on!]

[No, 005 wants to use me to contaminate more people; I can’t let it succeed.]

What followed was a big smudge of blood and scribbling.

[We’re all mad, 005 is out of control, and we all know it; they apologized to me.]

[But why did they commit suicide! Why did they do it! I clearly passed the message onto Lord ▋▋▋, and if he came, everything would get better; we only needed to hold on a little longer.]

The ink of the writing here began to bleed, as if the fountain pen’s nib broke and leaked.

[Did I really send the message out? Did Lord ▋▋▋ really come? Is my memory accurate?]

[No, I can’t let anyone come in.]

What followed again was a muddle of blood and scribbling.

[Lord ▋▋▋ didn’t come, what happened outside, the network is completely down, is someone breaking the door?]

[Did the Teacher succeed? Since he went to the Arctic, there has been no news from him. If he succeeded, he might be able to control 005.]

[Maybe I should die too? I can’t let the information about 005 spread.]

[No, I must survive, it’s toying with us; it wants to see all this happen.]

[I need to leave something behind; since control is already lost, maybe someone else will see this, the data might be useful.]

[No high-ranking knowledge in the files? Right, that kind of knowledge entering a machine would cause a mutation, so should I write it down?]

[Write it down. This is each one of our efforts. 005 can change our memory, but it cannot change all that has happened; the false will ultimately be false.]

He Ao’s gaze lingered on the increasingly crimson text.

These writings were no longer just notes; it seemed the writer was desperate to leave every thought and idea on the paper as a reference for times of confusion.

The following pages had no text, just a large blood smear.

He Ao reached out and touched the paper full of blood stains, then lightly ran his fingertip over the edge of the paper, revealing a layer within. A small, blood-soaked, ultra-thin sheet of paper emerged from the layer.

He Ao removed this thin paper, considering the words on it.

It was as if an invisible wind had arisen in the air, stirring the sheet, threatening to shred it completely.

[Talent Sequence 272: Memory Inheritor]

[Main Ingredient: The hand of the Fate Clock···(Bloodstain)···]

[···(Bloodstain)···]

[Ritual: In the presence of Fate-related objects, reshape the fate and cognition of at least ten million intelligent lives]

Putting down the small paper in hand, He Ao looked down to the last line of text on the document below.

That sentence, painted with fresh blood and twisted into odd shapes, read a short phrase.

[They came first]

The final strokes were drawn elegantly, almost like a smile.

Ding——

And behind He Ao, in the very depths of the world, a crisp sound echoed, as if some invisible hand was gently plucking at the strings of a piano.
