I write obituaries for the gods

This has never happened before.

Could it be that... the vision of the "Mirage City" is not limited to the history I have glimpsed, but can also glimpse the experiences of others?

But this situation doesn't seem to have occurred before... no, it has.

When Qingtian was killed, Lin Chen glimpsed his past through the azure substance.

At the time, he thought those memories were hidden in the blue substance, but now it seems that's not the case.

The only variable seems to be emotion—Huihui was very emotional at the time, which is why Lin Chen was able to enter the history she had seen.

Let's try it another time...

Suddenly, Lin Chen heard the door open. He turned around and saw Professor Jürgen walk in with several test results.

“It’s nothing serious,” Professor Jürgen sat down next to Lin Chen, wearily rubbing his temples. “But the doctor said we should avoid putting her in such dangerous situations. The entity that crawled out this time wasn’t very strong, but if a gamma-level entity were to crawl out one day… it would be very difficult to handle.”

Professor Jürgen looked at the report and sighed deeply.

"Given this situation, it's really not suitable for Litty to go to school."

“Those kids who did bad things should be severely punished,” Lin Chen said seriously. “Since Liti is fine as long as she takes her medicine, she has the right to go to school.”

Hearing Lin Chen say this, Jürgen smiled with satisfaction.

“I’m glad you think that way,” Jürgen sighed softly. “For so many years, I’ve been working on research at the Bureau of Investigation because it’s the only place where I can find a way to cure her insomnia. When I was working at the Foundation, I applied for many projects, but those big shots just wouldn’t approve my funding.”

"It's understandable. Parliament has too high a vision and values ​​returns more, so it's unwilling to waste funds on such rare diseases."

Hearing this, Lin Chen was slightly surprised: Professor Jürgen had actually worked at the foundation.

However, thinking about it, it's not surprising. Even though Lin Chen doesn't know much, he can tell that Professor Jürgen is highly respected in the entire Bureau of Investigation. Those arrogant paranormal scientists greet him humbly when they see him.

“But if things continue like this, I find it hard to convince myself to let her continue attending classes,” Professor Jürgen pushed up his glasses. “Whatever the reason for this incident, she is a ticking time bomb. If she really causes something to happen to those children…”

Just then, Professor Jürgen's phone rang.

He picked up his phone and said softly:

"Liti's in trouble, I might not be able to get there tonight, or else..."

"Is the machine warmed up yet? What's the latest time it can start?"

"10:30...I'm going to miss it..."

Lin Chen saw the struggle on Professor Jürgen's face, and he immediately stood up and said:

"I have a meeting tonight, but I can come over to keep you company after 10:30. I'll take over when you finish your experiment."

"Are you available?" Jürgen asked Lin Chen.

"You've made me a whale-sound bomb for free, so I have to do something in return," Lin Chen chuckled.

Jürgen nodded gratefully to Lin Chen and said into the phone:

"I will be at the lab before 10:30."

The old man put down the phone, glanced at Litty on the bed, and sighed softly.

He turned his head and patted Lin Chen on the shoulder:

"Thank you, Kobayashi. There aren't many young people like you who have a sense of responsibility."

"Of course."

......

After saying goodbye to Professor Jürgen, Lin Chen went directly to the First Department office.

He originally planned to eat at the cafeteria, but Li Zhanyi brought him dinner when she came back from school.

"See, see, in the end I'll treat you to dinner first, okay?"

Li Zhanyi smiled as he watched Lin Chen, who was showing off his braised pork trotter rice, and gently straightened his collar.

"How's school?" Lin Chen asked, putting down his chopsticks after finishing his meal.

"It's alright, I managed to fool the teacher," Li Zhanyi stretched. "I heard that Little Liti got into trouble?"

"Yes, the professor will be away for a while tonight, I'll go keep him company."

"You're responsible," Li Zhanyi patted Lin Chen on the shoulder. "I'll go back after the meeting. I'll take care of Huihui."

"Mm." Lin Chen nodded gently.

This feeling of discussing and living together warmed his heart, and the chill of the Iron Horn Bridge seemed to have finally dissipated somewhat.

Just then, the department door opened, and Jiang Zhengge rushed in, casually tossing his lunchbox into the trash can.

It looks like he ate his meal while walking.

"Meeting time!" Jiang Zhengge clapped his hands. "Louis, what was the result?"

"Yes, I've got a list of all the staff at the Waldorf Hotel."

Louis gently turned the computer, revealing a list on the screen with a small portrait next to each name.

This is like giving an account to someone's ancestors...

Everyone gathered around the table, scanning the names together.

"We've been preparing for this event lately, and getting this list has been quite a hassle," Louis rubbed his nose, and Lin Chen could see the dark circles under his eyes. "Take a look, which part should we start with?"

“Lobby Manager,” Jiang Zhengge clicked on a name, looking at the headshot, “I know this guy. He often takes small bribes and provides illegal trading venues for gangs and companies…”

"How did you know?" Lin Chen asked curiously.

“We also stayed at Waldaff during the last Operation Skybreaker,” Jiang Zhengge said with a faint smile. “The rooms provided by the Foundation must have been equipped with eavesdropping devices, so I asked this lovely lobby manager to book another room for me.”

"Goodness, does this count as dealing with the underworld?" Lin Chen muttered.

"The principle of this department is to operate in both the legal and illegal worlds. Sometimes we have to give up some of our bottom lines."

Jiang Zhengge rubbed his wrist and stared at the lobby manager on the screen.

"Besides, it's not like we're not going to arrest him anymore. Aren't we settling accounts now?"

“I will get the architectural plans for the Walduff Hotel from him. Louis, get the rest ready by tomorrow.”

“Understood.” Louis nodded.

“We need another person to infiltrate, and we need to find someone to disguise themselves,” Jiang Zhengge said softly. “We can’t put all our eggs in one basket. We need to see if there’s anyone we can bribe…”

"Wait a minute, take a look at this person," Lin Chen suddenly said.

He looked at the list on the screen with some surprise: in the "kitchen" column, a familiar face caught his eye.

"Chen Minghao...is this my Brother Hao?"

Lin Chen clicked on the name, and as the picture zoomed in, Hao Ge's blank and silly face appeared.

Brother Hao, that little chef Lin Chen bought breakfast from for two years...

They actually got into the Waldaffodil Hotel's kitchen system?

......

Chapter 69 He knew

After the meeting, Lin Chen said goodbye to Li Zhanyi and went alone to the medical floor to find Professor Jürgen to take over.

The plan has been finalized: all preparations will be completed by tomorrow, and deployment will begin.

Jiang Zhengge will go find the lobby manager, while Lin Chen plans to contact Brother Hao to see if he's willing to be an informant.

The day after tomorrow, Yi Ke will storm into the Waldorf Hotel and steal the key to the "ideal world" from director Zuo Xia's hands.

However, Lin Chen really didn't expect Hao Ge to appear on the hotel's staff list.

He hasn't seen Brother Hao since that incident. Brother Hao even helped Huihui when she was taken away by the Second Division.

Even if Brother Hao doesn't want to be an informant, let's take this opportunity to thank him.

It would be best if we could also collude with each other.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaolin."

Professor Jürgen said goodbye to Lin Chen in a hurry and rushed out of the room while putting on his white coat.

Lin Chen sat down by the bed and quietly looked at the sleeping girl on the bed.

Her little wings, like blankets, wrapped around her shoulders, looking soft and delicate.

Lin Chen felt that the world was truly amazing.

When the meeting ended, Lin Chen specifically asked Li Zhanyi if she knew about the wings on Liti's back, and the girl nodded quickly:

"I know, she's a symbiote."

"Symbiote?"

"It is a combination of humans and abnormal entities, a mutation phenomenon of erosion that makes people have many characteristics of entities."

“Oswald is also a symbiote, so he can steal other people’s appearances at will, which is quite terrifying.”

"But to be honest, these symbiotes are quite pitiful." Li Zhanyi sighed softly.

"Why?" Lin Chen asked.

"Generally speaking, symbiotes have some strange illnesses or mental problems... In short, they have some unpleasant side effects. Litty is very self-conscious about her wings and rarely shows them to people."

"But now that you've seen it, you need to take care of the child's feelings and not let her feel inferior."

"..."

Looking at the sleeping Litty on the bed, Lin Chen sighed softly.

Insomnia, a condition that requires medication to fall asleep, sounds terrifying.

No one in the world cares about her. Even the foundation, which claims to be the "light of humanity," will not arrange drug development for this extremely rare case.

So Professor Jürgen gave up his prestigious position and came to the Bureau of Investigation as a research consultant, all for the sake of his poor daughter.

Litty is treated as a freak at school, and now it's unclear whether she can even continue attending school.

"..."

The instruments beeped, sounding like the chirping of cicadas in the quiet ward area after nightfall.

Listening to the echoes of nurses' footsteps in the distant corridor, a strong sense of loneliness washed over Lin Chen, turning into a feeling of unease in his chest.

"ha..."

Lin Chen took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and entered the "Mirage City".

He didn't plan to rest; during his time on duty, he wanted to re-examine the clues in the bunker incident.

Jiang Zhengge said that even Alpha demigods have flaws.

Professor Jürgen even told him that as long as the "Whale Cry Bomb" was fired into the heart of a demigod, he would either die or be maimed.

So, what Lin Chen needs to do is to find the weaknesses of "Euclid" within the limited scenarios.

"..."

Lin Chen wandered through the corridors of history, watching himself fight, watching Li Zhanyi press his temples and continue his "prophecy" with a pained expression, and watching the British captain kneel on the ground.

Then, he saw a silvery-white geometric shape tear a rift in space, and a demigod in silver armor stood in the darkness.

After observing for half a day, Lin Chen made a discovery:

Before Euclid tears space apart, the brightness of that space will noticeably dim, followed by the appearance of the silver rift.

The darkness lasts only about 0.5 seconds, even under extreme conditions...

It's not that they can't react.

Lin Chen tentatively referred to this phenomenon as the "hidden thread".

I need to tell Zhanyi about this when I get back. If she can predict the "hidden clues," then the success rate of avoiding the rift will be very high...

However, strictly speaking, this discovery can only counter Euclid's ideas and cannot be considered a weakness.

After all, this Alpha-level demigod can tear open a large number of cracks at once. Even if Lin Chen can react and dodge, what if the other party tears cracks all around?

It still needs to be made into minced meat sauce.

"..."
