Twisted Dreams-Chapter 68 - 40: Lilith
ps: Happy National Day, brothers.
Once again wishing everyone a happy holiday, good health to your parents, and may fortune smile upon you.
The main text begins.
.....
In the underground laboratory, guards and researchers were cleaning up the mess.
The bald researcher respectfully invited Lilith to sit on the office sofa, and he personally poured her a cup of coffee.
The bald researcher stood to the side, with a look of fear in his eyes as he gazed at Lilith.
She is the adopted daughter of Dr. Leon Jin and his most powerful weapon.
She possesses special organs that normal humans don’t have, making her the strongest Evolver in the God Creation Organization, and Dr. Leon’s most successful technological creation.
As Lilith sipped her coffee, she spoke softly:
"A test subject escaping may not be a bad thing."
The bald researcher was puzzled.
With a test subject on the loose, discovered and shot by the Public Security Bureau, wouldn’t this expose the God Creation Organization’s genetic experiments?
Lilith said:
"Didn’t Kuroki Mitsusawa say there are people conducting genetic experiments in South Sea as well?"
Large felines killing humans, bird riots—these intelligence reports were already known to Lilith.
Having witnessed greatness in the field of technology, Lilith would not naively believe in the revival of demons like Wei Ming, that homebody.
To her, it was clearly some genetic experiment.
Lilith continued:
"The experiments in South Sea would be delayed for a long time because of that useless Mitsusawa Kuroki.
The flu caused by the experiment would soon be noticed by the authorities in Xia Country.
We might as well let that hidden organization conducting genetic experiments in South Sea take the fall for us, diverting the attention of the authorities."
The bald researcher suddenly realized and quickly asked:
"What should we do?"
Lilith gave a cunning smile:
"Fool, first let the South Sea Public Security Bureau focus its attention on that organization.
That stupid organization has already had two genetic experiments discovered by the authorities.
From now on, any bizarre event in South Sea will be blamed on that organization.
Just like today, the escaped test subject was shot by the Public Security Bureau.
Do you think they’ll associate this with the city beast killings and bird riots, thinking it’s the same organization?"
The bald researcher understood.
Today’s test subject escape will be blamed on another genetic technology organization.
Indirectly, this will make the Public Security Bureau pay more attention to the other genetic research organization.
The Public Security Bureau will search and investigate the other genetic research organization.
Not only does it divert the attention of the South Sea Public Security Bureau, but it will also use the Bureau to eliminate another genetic research organization.
This is killing two birds with one stone!
The God Creation Organization can securely remain hidden in the South Sea Green Grass Sanatorium until the experiments are completed.
The bald researcher looked at Lilith with admiration and asked:
"What’s our first step?"
Lilith pondered for a moment and said:
"People in Xia Country are superstitious, and the heat on the demon revival is at its peak.
First, we use the internet to amplify the ’strange man attacking the sheriff incident’ from tonight.
Guide the narrative towards an evil demon descending.
Then, the city beast killings and bird riots, such special events, will naturally be uncovered and exposed."
Lilith thought for a while and suddenly said:
"I suspect the Public Security Bureau will suppress public opinion.
A few days ago, didn’t we have a failed test subject?
Once the Public Security Bureau covers up the online discourse, release it.
When someone dies, it will surely provoke public outrage.
The public will demand the truth from the Public Security Bureau.
The Bureau, feeling challenged and pressured, will do everything to find our real adversary in South Sea and will go on a rampage against them.
We’ll just sit back and watch them tear each other apart."
.....
South Sea Public Security Bureau.
Cao Yi sat at his desk, reviewing materials with a deep frown.
Has Chen Wei taken the blame for everything?
It’s clearly a messy fight among the three underground giants, so why is he taking all the blame alone?
Originally, Cao Yi planned to use Chen Wei’s confession as a breakthrough point to sweep away the entire underground forces in South Sea.
Cao Yi mumbled to himself:
"Why is he doing this?
And didn’t he mention anything about the apothecary?"
The figure of the apothecary owner, Li Yang, appeared in Cao Yi’s mind.
Suddenly Cao Yi understood something, murmuring incredulously to himself:
"Did he go to the apothecary last, and did the owner say something to him? And now he doesn’t dare to tell the truth!
Doesn’t he want to redeem himself?
This apothecary owner is not a simple man!"
Cao Yi pulled out another document, which was about Li Yang.
The document noted Li Yang’s birth, his parents dying in a car accident, and his grandmother dying of a serious illness...
Right until he graduated from South Sea Medical University and opened an apothecary.
An ordinary life, but also a very lonely one.
Cao Yi sneered at the contents of the document.
Is it possible?
Could a young man with such a plain life have such an aura, such eyes?
Besides, losing both parents and having no relatives, doesn’t this prevent him from being accurately traced?
Yes, Cao Yi thought the profile was fake.
For ordinary people, forging records is hard to believe.
But Cao Yi had indeed seen such a thing happen before.
In the Imperial Capital, a Crown Prince faked his death after committing a crime and changed all his information, shedding his old self like a cicada molting its skin.
Therefore, while Li Yang’s profile might be false, one piece of news is true.
A man who possibly has the true name of Li Yang is undoubtedly a mighty figure who commands the winds and rains.
Feng Shui Master?
If he’s a Feng Shui Master, then he’s worth a fortune for a single divination.
Just then, a knock came on the door.
Cao Yi didn’t lift his head:
"Come in."
The sheriff’s secretary entered with a document and handed it to Cao Yi:
"Director Cao, this is the forensic report on that strange man from last night."
The origin of the monster was unknown, first appearing in the surveillance view on a road in the suburbs.
This didn’t mean much, and one couldn’t search the entire suburbs of South Sea.
There weren’t enough police forces.
Cao Yi opened the file folder, took out the test report, and his pupils suddenly contracted!
The report revealed that 28 different human DNA samples were extracted from the monster.
In other words, the monster was pieced together from 28 people!
How could this be possible?
The sheriff’s secretary hesitated for a moment and said:
"There’s something else that I find quite important, would you take a look?"
With a look of confusion in Cao Yi’s eyes, the secretary took out a phone, opened a short video app, and handed it to Cao Yi.
It was a video of the strange man attacking the sheriff.
The footage was clear, seemingly shot by onlookers nearby.
It had many likes and comments.
"Damn, what kind of monster is this? It took so many bullets and still won’t die?"
"Spiritual Energy Revival? Is this Spiritual Energy Revival?"
"Where’s the Cultivator? Aren’t they supposed to handle this? If they don’t show up, I’ll become the Daoist Master!"
"Are the authorities finally unable to suppress those mysterious events?"
"The demon is coming, the demon is coming! I need to awaken, I need to awaken!"
"Where’s the system? Where’s my system?"
"I’m a time traveler from the future, where Spiritual Energy Revival has brought demons to descend upon us. V me 50, and I’ll tell you stories of the future."
Cao Yi’s eyebrow twitched:
"Notify the publicity department to lower the heat on these videos."
This is likely just some inexplicable technological crime, and it has nothing to do with Spiritual Energy Revival!
The sheriff’s secretary said:
"There are way too many original videos, and even marketing accounts have jumped in.
It might be difficult to completely calm things down in a short time."
After pondering for a while, the sheriff’s secretary hesitantly said:
"By the way, there’s someone in South Sea who might be able to help you."
Cao Yi squinted at his secretary and asked:
"Who?"
The sheriff’s secretary replied:
"Zhu Dajun of Da Jun Media Culture Co., Ltd."
Zhu Dajun is the leader in the South Sea media industry, and as long as he speaks, those marketing accounts have to disappear.
Those marketing accounts that blend half-truths to gain attention are the hardest to deal with.
Once those marketing accounts stop stirring things up, the heat will quickly die down.
