The timeline zoomed towards the day when the R-Code Base was destroyed.

Memories flew by on fast-forward.

The base was full of fire. Wu Jin, who was 13 years old, looked out the window.

In the end, Wei s.h.i.+ didnt sneak out of the base according to Mao Dongqings plans, and he also didnt sign the R-Code S-Cla.s.s human-shaped weapon experiment contract, which was equivalent to giving up an endless supply of mind calming agents.

Wei s.h.i.+ defected directly.

With two military supply vehicles that hed taken over with a gun, he headed towards the most chaotic border of the Federation. A drillmaster behind him yelled and cursed, Who said that Wei s.h.i.+ was reliable and could go to Floating City for a mission? He killed the two spies in Floating City, and the one called Arjun threw in his lot with him. He collaborated from within with forces from outside

The genetic reproduction room.

Professor Alfaso lifted his gla.s.ses and looked at Wu Jin, Do you hate him? The Shao Family has lost a lot of power, and the R-Code Base is about to be disbanded. If Wei s.h.i.+ hadnt mutinied, you would be Wei s.h.i.+s scabbard by tomorrow based on the most appropriate matching priority.

Hes the one who suits you best. Youve waited many years for him.

Wu Jin shook his head, showing great respect for this professor who was addicted to academic learning and hostile toward R-Codes high level supervisors, trying his best to grant shelter to the genetically modified.

Alfaso sighed, From tomorrow on, the scabbard project will be transferred to the Federal Inst.i.tute of Sciences

Matching swords with scabbards is something the Empire has been studying for nearly a hundred years. Alfasos voice sounded old as he spoke about his own research project like he was telling a story, The probability for matching is too slight. You can match with a wide range and can undo the lock for anyone, but Wei s.h.i.+ only has one match.

If the chance is missed, there wont be a second chance.

Wu Jin thought about it, then grinned, Thats true. If I dont see him again, then I hope he can live a better life than me.

Alfaso laughed.

Behind him, Wei s.h.i.+ looked like a ghost wandering through his memories. He looked at Wu Jin as though wanting to engrave him firmly into the deepest part of his consciousness.

The timeline advanced further.

3014 Shao Yu and Wu Jin unexpectedly failed to match. Alfaso sent Shao Yu away and exclaimed, Are you trying to unlock the emotional lock or kill people in your mind? You skipped the fusion period and wanted Little Witch to unlock the lock for you? Did you think that your father is still around and can still protect you?!

3015 Shao Yu rebelled.

3017, 3018.

In the consciousness communication link, Arjun was going crazy, Brother Wei, its been six hours and thirty minutes. Brother Wei, you should come out

Researcher Song had long given up communicating with Wei s.h.i.+. The technician was extremely angry. Not only did he not try to persuade Wei s.h.i.+, he even pulled Arjun outside. Dont bother with him. If he likes to watch movies, then just let him watch. Its not a big deal if he doesnt come out after six hours, there will just be some aftereffects. Heh heh heh.

The summer of 3018.

Shao Yu took advantage of his t.i.tle as an Imperial Marquis to expose to the Federal media that the former president of XX University of Science and Technology, Professor Alfaso, presided over the R-Code human body genetic transformation experiment, and public opinion was instantly provoked into general outrage.

Only Wei Yan, who was an unknown R-Code trainee, defended the professor, but he was soon buried by public opinion.

Behind the scenes, there were also several high level federal officials fanning the flames. It seemed that as long as the responsibility was borne by someone in the government, all the public anger regarding R-Code could be vented.

Wu Jin was still not allowed to come into contact with any newspapers or networks.

In the early morning, he walked into the laboratory as usual.

The trembling research a.s.sistant received the old professors coat.

Alfaso thanked him gently, Thank you. Excuse me, can you prepare a suspension car with automatic driving for me? Also, please find a backup of the research inst.i.tution key.

A few minutes later, Alfaso appeared in front of Wu Jin.

Wu Jin, whod failed to match with Shao Yu, was now regarded as disqualified and hadnt seen the sun in a long time. Wu Jin was currently holding the registration form for the XX talent show that belonged to Wu Jn, and he was waiting for todays immersion scenario reproduction training.

Alfaso adjusted the lighting in the lab slightly, and waited for Wu Jin to get accustomed to it.

Then, he gestured for the youth to raise his arm.

A N-type memory drug. You have a high level of resistance, so you should have two hours of clarity before it takes effect.

Wu Jin looked up in shock.

Alfaso reminisced, My father raised many pigeons, and they were born for compet.i.tions. Like the scabbards that were created for the swords.

But, they were luckier than the scabbards.

Unmatched scabbards will be destroyed, but pigeons who failed those compet.i.tions were released.

Alfaso set the suspension car lock to Wu Jins iris and handed the key to the research inst.i.tute to Wu Jin.

Ive handled so many pigeons, but this is the only one that I can set free. The old professor smiled and injected Wu Jin with the N-type memory drug. He wished him well, I hope you can forget all the unhappiness.

The suspension car is self-driving. Ive set up a surprise for you at the destination coordinates.

Wu Jin suddenly seemed to realize something and wanted to open his mouth, but he was weak and powerless under the effect of the drug.

Alfaso watched as the robot helped Wu Jin into the suspension car. He spoke happily, Todays immersion scenario reproduction is cancelled. Tomorrows, and the day after tomorrows, and the rest will also be cancelled.

The suspension car disappeared into the sky.

Outside, countless people clamored for the researchers to hand over the infamous old professor.

The a.s.sistant received a phone call from his boss and knocked on Alfasos office door, speaking in a trembling voice, Professor, the researchers hope that you can attend the public trial

The door creaked open.

The old professors legs hung in mid-air.

The a.s.sistant screamed, Help, someone help

In the consciousness world, Wei s.h.i.+ looked at the old professor one more time and then turned to follow Wu Jin, whose thoughts were now a blur, into the car. He continued to protect Wu Jin with his ident.i.ty as a ghost.

The destination for the suspension car was set to track a set of coordinates. It was tracking a chip signal.

The three S-level genetically modified humans from the R-Code Base had been implanted with chips. At this time, Shao Yu was in the Empire far away, Wei Yan was a trainee in R-Code Entertainment, so the target could only be Wei s.h.i.+.

The destination was White Moonlight Entertainment.

Wu Jin was still struggling against the effects of the medicine, and he was still holding the 21st century registration form for the immersion scenario reproduction training. The application form had originally been well preserved in the laboratory, but was now yellowing rapidly after being exposed to the strong summer sunlight.

Hundreds of kilometers away.

It was now only 12 hours away from when Wu Jin met Wei s.h.i.+.

In Floating City, Red had won against Arjun with rock paper scissors and would follow Brother Wei to the Crosson Show to debut, make a battle team, and start making inroads into the entertainment industry.

Red suddenly thought of something, No, wait, we dont even have application forms for the Crosson Show. The registration form cant be printed. If its an anti-counterfeiting form, then how will we compete?

Researcher Song a.n.a.lyzed calmly, Go to a big battle team and get them. The ones like Jingyi and White Moonlight have a few hundred of them every year. Theyre just wasted if they arent used.

Wei s.h.i.+ received a message.

It was now only 11 hours before their first encounter.

After Wei s.h.i.+ swept through White Moonlights inventory, the security guards rushed in belatedly, Holy s.h.i.+t, who is this person? They just came in to steal two application forms? Nothing valuable was lost? Is he sick?!

The back doors security posts were now empty, and n.o.body discovered that Wu Jin had gone inside.

Wu Jin got out of the car, and his eyes were confused.

The N-type memory drug finally began to kick in.

A room marked Registration Office was in front of him.

Wu Jin walked in happily!

It was now only 10 hours before their first encounter.

Wu Jin was soon sent to the suspension car that was headed for the preliminary game for the Crosson Show. Secretary Qu worried from behind him, What a beautiful darling, dont let him get beaten silly!

6 hours before their first encounter.

Wu Jin and Wei s.h.i.+ entered the game on separate helicopters.

6 hours later.

On the tree stump, Wu Jins expression was deathly pale, Save me ahhhhhhthis is all a misunderstanding

A gun was pressed onto the small curls, and Wei s.h.i.+ raised his eyebrows, Where did this little rabbit spirit come from?

Wu Jins first reaction was actually to look out into the empty s.p.a.ce.

Into the s.p.a.ce where the Wei s.h.i.+, who was guarding him as a ghost, was standing.

Wu Jin might not be able to see him, but his intuition seemed to sense it.

The ghost Wei s.h.i.+ smacked the Wei s.h.i.+ in the memory with the b.u.t.t of a gun.

The Wei s.h.i.+ whod just entered the compet.i.tion was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

The ghost Wei s.h.i.+ finally hugged Wu Jin, and kissed him piously on the forehead.

Go, hell protect you.

Wei s.h.i.+, who had guarded Wu Jin the whole way, from 4 years old to 19 years old, finally looked at himself, the Wei s.h.i.+ whod been knocked over by the b.u.t.t of the gun.

Im handing him over to you.

In the consciousness world, all light finally extinguished.

The treatment cabin equipment started beeping.

Researcher Song was pleased, Little Witch is waking up. Have Red bring him out. Dont worry about Brother Wei, that person is addicted to watching movies

Wei s.h.i.+ stepped out of the treatment cabin, one leg at a time.

Wu Jins cabin had already been opened.

In front of the treatment cabin, Red, who had only just managed to stand firm, was pushed away.

Wei s.h.i.+ bowed his head, and his gaze met with Wu Jins dazed eyes.

Wu Jin finally reacted, struggling as he attempted to sit up.

Wei s.h.i.+ picked him up and held him in his arms.

Juurensha: QAQ babbbbbby Little Witchhhhhhh, at least you managed to find Wei s.h.i.+ in the end!

xiin: ahhhhhh!!! no more angst, i swear!!!
