I Hijacked The Timeline

Chapter 36



Shocking Truth

I… was assassinated?

Feng Qi was puzzled when he saw this message in his email.

In order to understand the details, he continued to read through the subsequent records.

“You must remember what comes next. I’m powerless to change this situation, but you can do it.

“I always thought that there was something wrong with the Scarlet Research Institute, but I didn’t have any channels to learn more about it, so I couldn’t find out the truth. However, during an exchange for research institutions organized by the military, I got to know a researcher from the Scarlet Research Institute. In order to find out the truth, I contacted him in the name of work. Later on, with his help, I obtained the opportunity to visit the Scarlet Research Institute. It was this visit that made me realize that there were many unspeakable secrets in there.

“It was eight o’clock in the evening on that day. Under the guidance of my friend, I stepped into the headquarters of the Scarlet Research Institute for the first time. Compared to other research organizations, its defense was extremely tight. Not only did it have an elite army stationed there, one also had to go through multiple checkpoints to enter. With my friend leading me, I toured a few non-confidential projects of the Scarlet Research Institute, such as the Spiritual Domain Plants Planting Project, the Rune Transformers Project, the Spiritual Energy Rune Equipment Forging Project, and so on.

“These research projects were not the answers I wanted. Fortunately, I was already prepared. Before I visited, I asked Mo Fei to get the latest model of the mini reconnaissance robot from the Science and Technology Department. Then, under the pretext of going to the toilet, I hid in the bathroom and activated the reconnaissance robot, controlling it to go to those research laboratories that were not open to the public.

“During the investigation, I was almost discovered because there were many anti-reconnaissance scanners installed in the laboratories. Fortunately, the latest model of simulated robots had the function of detecting reconnaissance instruments, allowing me to narrowly avoid several scans. Then, I followed a senior executive of the Scarlet Research Institute into a room. It was here that I found a list of names.

“Do you know whose names were on it? Mu Qing, Lin Ran, and even Old Wang were among them. There were symbols beside each name, such as circles, crosses, ticks, golden flowers, and so on.

“At that time, I didn’t think there was a problem. The Scarlet Research Institute is a special organization that can set up research projects for any kind of project. It was completely understandable for them to study the outstanding geniuses of the current generation. As for what the symbols and marks behind everyone’s names represented, I had no way of knowing, so I ignored them.

“However, the subsequent discoveries made me realize that things might not be as simple as I thought.

“After leaving that archive room, I controlled the scouting robot to continue investigating. During this period, I entered a mysterious laboratory three levels below ground. Here, I saw an unbelievable scene.

“There was actually a domain transcendent creature that could walk freely and move freely in the Scarlet Research Institute!

“It had a similar appearance to humans. A rune crystal was embedded on its forehead and its skin refracted light like fish scales. I’m certain that it’s not a Rune Transformer, but a domain creature.

“When I discovered it, it was dressed in the uniform of the Scarlet Research Institute and conducting some kind of human experiment. Lying in front of it was a living experimenter with a digital label on his body.

“This discovery led me to a terrifying conjecture. Is it possible that the Scarlet Research Institute has actually been controlled by those domain transcendent creatures that can leave the domain field?

“Otherwise, how can it be explained that humans’ mortal enemies, creatures from the domain, can walk freely in the Scarlet Research Institute without being restricted? They can even participate in the research of the Scarlet Research Institute’s confidential projects.”

At this point, Feng Qi’s heart stirred.

Domain creatures are the mortal enemies of mankind. This concept is the common understanding of all mankind, so… it’s very likely that the Scarlet Research Institute has really been controlled by these creatures.

Suppressing the many thoughts in his mind, he continued to read.

“I originally wanted to continue investigating in depth, but time didn’t allow it. There was a knock on the door, asking about my situation. I could only claim that I had diarrhea. Then, I quickly put away the robot and went out to continue looking around.

“However, I couldn’t calm down. The speculation that the Scarlet Research Institute might be controlled by domain creatures lingered in my mind. Even after I left the Scarlet Research Institute, I still couldn’t calm down.

“When I returned to the Tiger Soul Research Institute, I pulled up the images taken by the reconnaissance robot, especially that name list. I began to search for relevant information online, but I discovered another shocking secret.

“The names on that list with crosses beside them were all very outstanding talents in a certain field, but they all died young without exception. Moreover, the causes of their deaths were confidential and couldn’t be found online.

“Recalling the domain transcendent that I discovered in the Scarlet Research Room, a terrifying guess surfaced in my mind…

Is there such a possibility that the Scarlet Research Institute, which is controlled by a domain transcendent creature, is secretly assassinating the geniuses of the current era, slowing down the development of the entire human race?

“If that’s the case, I have to reveal this secret as soon as possible. Otherwise, the future of mankind is at stake because the enemy has already infiltrated into our ranks. If we don’t get rid of these vermin, the future of mankind will be shrouded in darkness and we won’t see the light!”

“Something happened today, which confirmed my guess… Lin Ran was assassinated!

“Fortunately, Lin Ran recently developed a special defensive spell and hung on until reinforcements arrived. Otherwise, he would definitely have died. This seems to prove that my previous guess was right.

“I have to send this information out. We can’t keep the Scarlet Research Institute around anymore.”

“My comments have been questioned and have already caught the attention of the Scarlet Research Institute. The only video that can prove my words has been deleted because my computer was hacked. Even the content I copied to the portable hard drive has mysteriously disappeared. What I’m about to face is most likely an assassination by the Scarlet Research Institute!

“Learn from my lesson. The Scarlet Research Institute is very influential. Before you have the ability to fight against it, don’t expose your secret. No one will believe you. They will only think that you are a paranoid lunatic.

“I’m already prepared to die young. Although there are still many questions in my heart that have yet to be answered, such as why Mu Qing betrayed humanity? If she discovered the secret that the Scarlet Research Institute was controlled by a domain creature, she could have completely destroyed the Scarlet Research Institute. Why did she become enemies with all of humanity? Another example is why Old Wang, who was a historical great, was never assassinated.

“I have no way of knowing these answers, but I know that you will definitely be able to discover the truth.”

“These might be the last few messages I’ll leave for you. I’ve been under immense pressure during this period of time. If I die, so be it. I’ve long gotten over it, but you have to continue walking. Just as Old Wang said, you have to firmly believe that dawn will dispel the darkness. Victory belongs to humans. Death is a form of release for me now. You, who will continue on, will be the one carrying the heavy burden.

“Bless you, Feng Qi!

“Mankind will definitely win!”
