Chapter 1295: Chapter 1295: We Are In (Big Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

The piercing alarm reverberated under the bright sky.

"Based on all the information, the whole incident seems to be like this,"

Ye Yun stood by the roadside, watching the medical staff lift the unconscious ponytailed young man onto the ambulance, "Li Yun was playing cards alone out of boredom, and when he got up to stretch and move around, he kicked the wire, causing an electric shock, which affected the entire building’s voltage,

"At this moment, the Curse Key containment room happened to be hollowed out by termites, allowing the Curse Key to escape containment and, coincidentally, selecting the electrocuted Li Yun as the ’target’.

"Li Yun, in a state of electric shock, experienced a brief bodily stiffness, missing the only opportunity to call for help, and was silently forced to be controlled by the Curse Key,

"Moreover, the flickering lights due to the electric shock also attracted the attention of nearby people, shifting our focus to the circuit breaker, leaving no time to notice him."

He turned around, glanced at He Ao beside him, and then at the ponytailed young man being loaded into the ambulance, sighing softly, "If it weren’t for Minister He noticing the abnormality at the start, by the time we found him, he would probably have been dead for sure.

"And the entire Nandu Research Institute branch could have become the ’attack target’ of the Curse Key because of the ’observation’."

He watched as the ambulance doors slowly closed, expressing his emotions, "In a way, this guy really had bad luck to run into so many ’unlucky events’, yet he indeed had good luck to encounter you here today, allowing for a slight turn in the otherwise fatal outcome."

"Hmm."

He Ao gazed at the slowly starting ambulance, realizing just now that the ponytailed young man’s name was ’Li Yun’,

He didn’t respond to Ye Yun’s emotions but withdrew his gaze, murmuring with some thought, "Do you think this incident was a coincidence?"

"Coincidence," Ye Yun nodded slightly, "I’ve never seen such a ’coincidence’, coincidental as if someone deliberately wanted Li Yun to die,"

He turned his head to look at He Ao, "Minister He, do you suspect that there is a Transcendent or Extraordinary Power at play behind this?"

"What do you think?"

He Ao looked at Ye Yun and asked in a low voice.

"I’m also pondering this question,"

Ye Yun frowned slightly, speaking softly,

"Li Yun is someone very good at hiding his weaknesses and doesn’t socialize much; his friends are basically colleagues from the company,

"Although he has won some money by playing cards, most of the time, he would turn this winning into gifts or treats to ’return’ it, sometimes even giving a little extra.

"So everyone just jokes about not playing with him; his reputation in the Research Institute is still quite good. No one in the Institute should want to target him, and as for the Transcendent outside,"

He paused briefly, looking again at He Ao, "His work is mostly document-based; he seldom goes out to execute Transcendent captures or similar tasks. He hasn’t traveled abroad and has no ties with the other two major Transcendent organizations. His social network is very clear, I find it hard to imagine anyone specifically targeting him, and besides,"

He paused once more, adding, "The worm-eaten foundation under the Curse Key containment room is a result of years of accumulation; even I am not clear about these details. To account for this, one must have complete control of the entire Nandu Research Institute."

"It might not necessarily be his enemies targeting him."

He Ao contemplated and shook his head.

"You mean indiscriminate killing? Some strange item?"

Ye Yun pondered along He Ao’s line of thought, "That would make things even more complicated because if it’s simply random killing, the difficulty in prevention, or in finding the real culprit, would increase geometrically, and honestly, such a capability to create ’coincidences’ is quite terrifying."

"Maybe someone had some notebook and wrote down people’s death methods, and then that person would die following such an arranged way?"

A head peeked out from behind the two, Ye Ying glanced at them and interjected softly.

"Have you been watching too much TV?"

Ye Yun looked at his sister, helplessly saying, "There’s no such ability in the world."

"Not as detailed as I depicted," Ye Ying argued softly, "but perhaps there’s a similar ability? I just joined the Research Institute and heard seniors say, in the Extraordinary World, there’s nothing without surprises, don’t limit your imagination."

"Then tell me," Ye Yun looked at his sister and asked, "Why would someone with such an ability want to kill Li Yun?"

"How would I know," Ye Ying shook her head, "but as you said, the victim had no enemies, so it’s unlikely a vendetta killing. Maybe the victim discovered some secret, leading someone to kill him to silence him."

Upon hearing her words, He Ao raised his head and glanced at her.

"Though you make some sense," Ye Yun rubbed his brows, "Li Yun was just sitting in the office; what secret could he discover?"

"Who knows that, didn’t you say he used to have good luck," Ye Ying scratched her head, "Maybe he was investigating something and got lucky enough to really find something."

"Ultimately it’s still a matter of luck, right? Alright, alright," Ye Yun waved his hand, "stop causing trouble here. Did you buy the things Minister He asked you for?"

"I did."

Ye Ying quickly raised the bouquet of white chrysanthemums and lilies in her hand.

He Ao glanced at her and softly said, "Perhaps Ye Ying is not entirely wrong."

"Indeed," Ye Yun nodded in agreement, "that’s also a direction of thought."

"Hey hey hey," Ye Ying widened her eyes at Ye Yun, "Why don’t you listen when I say it, but listen when Minister He says; you opportunist!"

"Alright, alright, like Minister He said, what you say does have some merit."

Ye Yun replied helplessly.

"Let’s go over there."

He Ao raised his hand, interrupting their conversation, took a bouquet from Ye Ying, and walked toward the coffin that had been placed for a long time.

Ye Yun nodded lightly, also taking a bouquet and following He Ao’s steps.

Gazing at the quiet coffin, Ye Ying’s expression quieted too, and she followed closely.

The coffin wasn’t large, made of solid wood, and engraved with intricate patterns.

A long hearse had been waiting in front of the coffin for quite some time.

He Ao observed the coffin, raised his hand, and placed the flowers upon it.

Ye Yun and Ye Ying followed suit, laying their flowers upon the coffin as well.

This coffin held the remains of the old researcher from the Curse Key containment room.

While the Curse Key was still present, the Institute had no chance to collect his remains. Now, he could finally be laid to rest.

Standing behind He Ao, Ye Ying lifted her head slightly, taking a glance at He Ao’s back.

"What’s your next plan?"

He Ao turned his head to look at Ye Yun.

"I have already contacted the family of this old predecessor and found in the archives his last words from back then. He isn’t from Nandu and hoped, if possible, to return to his hometown,"

Ye Yun looked at He Ao and spoke softly, "The Nandu Research Institute will hold a memorial service for him, and then his family will take his remains back to his hometown."

"Hmm."

He Ao nodded softly.

His gaze rested on the coffin in front of him, and he bowed gently in respect.

The people behind him followed in paying their respects.

Even in peaceful times, there are still many silent heroes.

Then he slightly stepped back, giving way.

The funeral staff immediately stepped forward to place the coffin onto the hearse.

By now, many people from the Nandu Research Institute branch had gathered here, together with He Ao and Ye Yun, seeing the hearse off into the distance.

Everyone kept watching the funeral car go far away, then completely withdrew their gazes.

He Ao turned his head and looked at Ye Yun, speaking softly, "Curse Key..."

"I need you to hold onto it," Ye Yun quickly shook his head and said, "This thing is too dangerous. Keeping it in Nandu is like a ticking time bomb. No one in Nandu can control it, but Minister He, you can control it. Letting it follow you is the best option. I’ll write a report later and report these matters."

He Ao glanced at Ye Yun.

Indeed, as Ye Yun said, Nandu doesn’t have the conditions to contain the Curse Key.

The power level involved with the Curse Key is quite high; now the entire Main World, probably only He Ao and Li Cheng can suppress it.

From a safety perspective, letting He Ao take it is optimal, but He Ao cannot just take the Curse Key directly.

After all, this thing logically belongs to Nandu. Although dangerous, it is indeed a very powerful Extraordinary Item. He Ao taking it directly would be somewhat awkward.

So Ye Yun proactively spoke up, directly solving this problem from the root.

In a sense, this is Ye Yun continually showing goodwill to He Ao.

After all, for He Ao, who can control the Curse Key, it indeed has some use.

"Alright," He Ao looked at Ye Yun and said softly, "I’ll mention this to the dean and others."

"Okay."

Hearing He Ao not opposing his statement, Ye Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, amidst the silent crowd, the woman who was initially supporting the containment area cautiously leaned over, looking at Ye Yun and pointing to Ye Ying beside her, softly asking, "Boss, who is this?"

This question caught Ye Yun off guard.

Having been focused on investigating the situation, he hadn’t realized his sister was running around in the crowd.

The surrounding staff probably wanted to ask for a while but never found the opportunity. Now that everything’s settled, they finally pushed someone to ask it clearly.

This completely shattered his intention to hide Ye Ying’s identity to protect his sister.

He somewhat regretted inviting He Ao to meet at the Nandu Research Institute. Changing the place wouldn’t have this issue.

But changing the place, Li Yun would be doomed today, and many at the Nandu Research Institute would probably be killed by the Curse Key.

And just as Ye Yun was contemplating how to reply, he heard He Ao beside him smile and say, "This is my new student."

Everyone, including Ye Ying, was taken aback.

Ye Yun reacted first, quickly pulling his sister and whispering, "Quick, call him teacher."

Ye Ying, listening to her brother, looked at He Ao and hazily said, "Teacher."

"Hmm."

He Ao lightly nodded, acknowledging this disciple.

A slight orange-gray light flashed in his eyes.

In his ’field of view,’ as his teacher-student relationship with Ye Ying ’established,’ their fate lines intertwined more.

Vaguely, he felt some subtle ’transformation.’

"So this is Minister He’s student."

The woman who had asked the question recovered from her daze and gently nodded.

Although none of them saw this girl enter with Minister He, if Minister He said she’s his student, then she’s his student.

They can question Ye Yun, but they can’t question He Ao.

Compared to Ye Yun, He Ao’s status, real power, and reputation are all much higher.

This is a powerful figure that just happened to fall beside Nandu’s small pond.

Feeling the change in attitude around him, Ye Yun’s expression was somewhat complex.

He Ao’s willingness to acknowledge Ye Ying as a student proves he indeed cares about Ye Ying, giving hope for his sister’s illness.

Moreover, He Ao is indeed a significant ’support.’ Now that Ye Ying has this support, even revealing she’s his sister, others would have to consider He Ao before wanting to move against ’Ye Ying.’

But the change in ’subordinate’ attitudes also indeed shows He Ao’s status in the hearts of everyone, and Ye Yun still has a long way to go.

He Ao glanced at Ye Yun.

Vaguely, he likely already sensed the change in Ye Yun’s mindset.

However, he didn’t plan to do anything.

Ye Yun indeed has talent and is smart, but he’s growing too fast and needs some inner tempering.

Every genius encounters their dilemmas and mental blocks; only by going through hardships and relying on themselves to emerge can they be grounded and complete transformation.

Whether in the Main World or the dungeon world, those who become B-level are all of strong character.

The path of transcendence isn’t some heavenly avenue but a tightrope crossing through Hell, with every Transcendent walking this tightrope arduously, the further they go, the thinner it becomes.

Those who can’t control the power will only be controlled by it, ultimately heading towards madness.

He Ao withdrew his gaze and glanced at the confused Ye Ying beside him, then looked at Ye Yun, "Does Nandu have a training ground? Just right to teach her something."

"Yes, yes."

Ye Yun quickly nodded, leading He Ao quickly forward, "It’s on the 13th floor, I’ll take you there."

He Ao turned back and glanced at the sun hanging in the sky.

The sunlight was warm and gentle, just like usual.

The air no longer had the usual sword light and shadow, but faintly, he felt a prickling sensation on his back.

The strength in his hand trembled; it was the fast-moving cooling progress of the Trapped Destiny Plate.

"Minister He?"

Leaf Ying looked at He Ao puzzled.

"Let’s go."

He Ao shook his head, glanced at Ye Ying, and slowly lifted his footsteps forward, stepping once again into the building.

Ye Ying tightly followed behind him.

Ruins

Brilliant electric light blossomed from the cold pond water, illuminating the surrounding darkness, like a shining lotus emerging from the abyss.

A hand emerged from the icy pond water, followed by a seemingly unremarkable face.

Soon after, the middle-aged man holding the electric spear also emerged from the pond water.

He raised his head, looking at the scene illuminated by the electric light, with a flicker of memory in his eyes,

"We’ve entered."
