I Hijacked The Timeline Chapter 118 – Chapter 118: There's Light in Life

Chapter 118: There's Light in Life

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After reading the contents of the email messages, the many doubts in Feng Qi's heart were answered.

At the very least, the content of the current messages could prove that the Scarlet Research Institute had been hiding in the dark and silently preparing a plan to save the world. They wanted to cut off the connection between the Dark Side and the real world from the source.

Moreover, they had already sensed that there were enemies lurking in human society, so they were secretly protecting the new generation of geniuses to prevent them from being assassinated.

However, Feng Qi still had many questions.

He wanted to know if the Scarlet Research Institute knew who the enemy lurking among humans was.

Puzzled, he continued to read.

Today, when I talked to Wei Wei about the Path to Heaven, she said that she had never heard of this place… So, the Scarlet Research Institute might not have anything to do with the Path to Heaven. But there is another possibility

Wei Wei does not know about it.

After the physical examination today, I suddenly wanted to ask her how old she was, but she told me without hesitation that she was 18 years old… At that time, I really wanted to ask her, don't you have any f*cking sense?
There was finally some progress made in the cloning and replication plan of little Suction Cup. Let me show you what she looked like in her seedling state (video attachment), but we're still far from success.

Feng Qi opened the video. A white tadpole appeared on the screen, swimming vigorously in a blue liquid.

[Wow, she looks quite active!]

It seemed that the research had yielded results, but Feng Qi knew very well that this was definitely not the one that had become Suction Cup.

From the looks of it, the birth of Suction Cup should have happened after Mu Qing established the Dawn rebel army, or even after Mu Qing's death.

During the past few times he went through the future database, Mu Qing's body was handled confidentially after her death.

He guessed that it was very likely that it had been sent to the Scarlet Research Institute to have her latest genes extracted and the special rune crystal removed.

After that, little Suction Cup was officially born and released by the Scarlet Research Institute when Star City was in danger.

What puzzled Feng Qi was that since the Scarlet Research Institute was good, his future self should be very safe in the research institute. Why did he die mysteriously at the age of 29?

Puzzled, he continued to read the subsequent contents.

Today, I participated in the internal meeting of the Scarlet Research Institute. Before that, I underwent various physical examinations again, including mental tests. When going to the meeting, I had to change in the designated area to ensure that I did not carry any eavesdropping equipment.

During the meeting, I met the directors of the other departments. After a vote, they agreed to officially include me in the core project. Now, I'm going to join the salvation plans and fight for a chance of survival for humanity's future.

At the meeting, I finally know how much effort the Scarlet Research Institute had silently put in to protect this world. Every person was prepared to die.

Director Li from the Biochemical Department told me that everything that the Scarlet Research Institute did could not be leaked. Otherwise, they would definitely be targeted by the hidden forces and their plans sabotaged.

This couldn't help but remind me of one of the times when the dark forces learned many of the Scarlet Research Institute's projects through me and carried out various sabotage operations. At that time, I was actually used by the dark forces. Sigh.

During the meeting, I asked the big bosses of the Scarlet Research Institute a question. Do they know who the enemy hiding in the dark is?

In response to my question, they fell silent in unison.

At this moment, Wei Wei told me that they had actually caught the spies of the dark forces before, but after they were caught, they would decisively choose to die. The venom implanted in their bodies would be activated. No matter how hard they tried to resuscitate them, it was useless. Their bodies would quickly decay in a short period of time and eventually dissipate, leaving not a trace behind.

After officially joining the core project, I finally met the Rune Transformers in the underground laboratory, also the domain transcendent creatures that we had mistakenly taken them to be previously.

They are all researchers who voluntarily sacrificed themselves to participate in the experiment. It was also because of their efforts that the Rune Transformers Project could be constantly perfected. Now, the Scarlet Research Institute can already transform humans into semi-domain creatures.

The ultimate goal of this plan is to send a group of experts who have been transformed into semi-domain creatures to the Dark Side to find the transmission point that connected the two worlds and destroy it.

If they never return, then they would never return. Respect to them.

Something big happened today. A sub-base of the Scarlet Research Institute was attacked. This base was located on the outskirts of Twilight City. Doesn't this sound very familiar?

Yes, it's the one Mu Qing went to investigate in one of the timelines.

It was that investigation record that made us suspect that Mu Qing's betrayal of humans was related to the Scarlet Research Institute. We even imagined that there was a lot of cruel Rune Transformer experimental information in the experiment base… Now, it proves that our original guess was wrong.

The Scarlet Research Institute is currently in a terrible situation. The dark forces seem to have picked up on something and are probing the Scarlet Research Institute. Destroying this experimental base might be a preliminary test.

Now, the Scarlet Research Institute has already issued the latest mission to the domain combat teams and asked them to investigate the situation.

(PS: Scarlet Research Institute's Twilight City experimental base was destroyed. In Chapter 17 of this article, there is a mission description.)

At the meeting, everyone agreed that there is a high chance that a portion of the Scarlet Research Institute's secrets have already been exposed because the information in Twilight City was indeed a little sensitive. In the future, the dark forces might frequently take action against the Scarlet Research Institute.

I guess that perhaps in a timeline at that time, Mu Qing had received a commission from the Scarlet Research Institute and that was why she began a massacre.

Her goal was to destroy the base in Twilight City and erase all information and clues. From then on, she would embark on the path of becoming a demon king in advance.

After learning that the experimental base in Twilight City had been destroyed, Wei Wei was very depressed because there was a student she thought highly of in that base.

On a winter night, she left the headquarters alone.

I followed her out. After searching for a long time, I found her by a street outside the base.

She stood rubbing her hands in the -20°C cold wind. At this moment, there was only emptiness and numbness in her eyes. She no longer had the enthusiasm and vitality of the past.

I imagine she's in a lot of pain right now.

Perhaps this is the heaviness that a trailblazer must bear.

Wei Wei was obviously in a much better mood today. She told me indifferently that she was used to it. Grief could not be converted into strength, but anger could. She was filled with motivation now.

She also told me that when the time came, she would replicate 10,000 Mu Qings and gang up on the dark forces. Hahaha.

I've officially become a core member of the Scarlet Research Institute. Recently, I'm in charge of the analysis of rune crystals. My daily workload has increased. Sometimes, I would have to stay in the laboratory for a few days and not be able to go out. Perhaps there will be fewer messages from now on.
(red tag) I could not help but ask Wei Wei again what was going on with the rune crystal on Mu Qing's body.

This time, she didn't hide anything and told me important news.

She said that this rune crystal had actually existed since the establishment of the Scarlet Research Institute. It was said that the founding director of the research institute had obtained it from a mysterious person.

Oh yes, I forgot to tell you.

The first director of the Scarlet Research Institute was the one who first proposed the Rune Transformers Project. He had been dispirited for a long time after the project was canceled.

It was also at that time that he met someone who gave him the rune crystal on Mu Qing's body and helped him establish the initial Scarlet Research Institute.

Wei Wei said that she had actually seen that mysterious person before and also received something.

I asked what it was, and she told me it was youth.

At this point, a puzzled expression appeared on Feng Qi's face.

He couldn't help but suspect that Wei Wei could stay young forever because of the help of that mysterious person.

However, a question immediately appeared.

Who is that mysterious person? Why did he give Wei Wei a iong lifespan?

Why did he give the first director of the Scarlet Research Institute the rune crystal on Mu Qing?

As Feng Qi thought about it, he thought of the “mysterious girl” Lu Yue had mentioned.

She had lived for a long time according to Lu Yue's description. During this period, she had been searching for miracles for mankind. She had never given up despite repeated defeats. She was also a human miracle in Lu Yue's eyes.

Are they the same person?

Puzzled, Feng Qi continued to read the subsequent contents.

In response to my question, Wei Wei told me that she did not know what the mysterious person looked like. She could only tell that she was a female from her voice.

During this period, Wei Wei even told me that she suspected that the woman was an old demon. After all, she had existed since the founding of the Scarlet Research Institute. Isn't she an old demon since she had lived until now.

Hearing this, I was confused.

When Wei Wei said this, had she ever thought about herself?

Wei Wei said that I've completed my apprenticeship and now have the ability to lead a team alone. I will be the branch director of the new sub-base.

Good lord, I'm about to reach the peak of my life.

Actually, I've already fallen in love with biological sciences. I think I can definitely achieve a lot in this industry. You can wait and see in the future. I'll be independent next.

I've officially separated from Wei Wei and come to the new base. The headquarters has also dispatched three domain combat teams to ensure our safety. Next, we're prepared to do something big and sprint toward a beautiful future.
F*ck, the base was attacked by a mysterious force. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but the base I was in seemed to have been targeted by the dark forces. Will I die young again?

I hope not. I still want to continue fighting for the rise of mankind. The wings of a butterfly can't be broken.

1 The base was attacked again. I've already requested support from the headquarters. Ten domain combat teams will be dispatched to protect the safety of the sub-base.

At the same time, I've placed all the sensitive information in the base in my private laboratory. If anything happens, I have to burn all the information.

1 Something big happened. The network cables connecting to the headquarters had been cut off, and the signals of the entire base were gradually being blocked. The dark forces seemed to be launching an all-out attack. I hope that we survive this wave. If not, I'll definitely be dead.

Sitting in the private laboratory, I suddenly wondered if I die, which way would it be by?

Humanity needed to advance under the cover of lies. It was impossible for the Scarlet Research Institute to expose the existence of the dark forces to the world. Perhaps I will die in a simple and unpretentious way.

1 The base's defense line has been broken. A mysterious faction is approaching the core area where I'm at. I've already destroyed all the sensitive information. I can't leave the secret of the Rune Transformers to them even if I die.

The counter-infiltration plan must not be known by the dark forces.

Next, I will join the battle.

I haven't cultivated for a long time. With my combat strength, I can't change anything, but I definitely won't stretch my neck and wait to be killed.

I will fight to the death.

1 This might be the last message I'll leave you. Unfortunately, I still can't escape the end of my untimely death.

Right before death, it suddenly struck me that there is actually light in our lives. There are always millions of me who can always light up a path forward before I go out.

As for you, who continues to carry a heavy burden, work hard!
