Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 1290 - 1289: Everyone Has a Tragic Past

"Alas, we really escaped!"

The young boys and girls, having survived a disaster, congratulated each other with high-fives, all but Lu Yang, who remained unresponsive throughout.

"My name is Lan Hai." The boy introduced himself proactively. Although they had just met, the life-or-death situation made them feel like long-time friends.

"My name is Yu Ran." The first girl introduced herself.

"My name is Mi Xue’er." This was the blonde, blue-eyed girl.

The three of them turned to look at Lu Yang, who had been silent the whole time, their gazes filled with an unspoken expectation.

Since others had introduced themselves, out of politeness, Lu Yang felt obliged to do the same: "My name is Meng Jingzhou."

"So you are Brother Meng, what an unwarranted disaster today!" Lan Hai sighed with empathy for Lu Yang.

Lu Yang also felt it was indeed an unwarranted disaster.

"Actually, I didn’t expect things to develop this far. Originally, I was just sorting through the things my grandfather left behind..."

Lu Yang quickly interrupted Lan Hai’s reminiscing: "Stop, don’t say anymore, I’m just a bystander, I don’t want to know so much."

Lan Hai shook his head: "No, Brother Meng, face the reality, you’re not just a bystander anymore. Although it was me who got the chip, ’Ether’ saw both you and me acquiring it together, it will definitely not let you go."

Lu Yang: "..."

Are you guys from the Interstellar Alliance always this hostile to tourists?

"But Brother Meng, you’re right, it’s not the time to talk, let’s get in the car and we can talk."

Lan Hai opened the sports car, the one that had crashed into the library. The car had smashed down the library without even scratching its paint, attesting to its terrifying quality.

Lu Yang had no choice but to resign himself to getting in the car and listening to Lan Hai’s stories.

Of course, there was another reason to get into the car – Fairy Eternity wanted to hear the story.

"Come along, it seems quite fun." frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

The two girls also got into the car.

"My grandfather is Lan Kang, although not well-known in the Alliance, but he is definitely the most formidable scientist in the entire Alliance. He is also the mentor of the Alliance’s chief scientist, Gao Huanyu."

"This sports car was modified by my grandfather."

"A month ago, my grandfather suddenly passed away. At first, I didn’t suspect anything, until I was sorting through his belongings and found his notebook, which contained notes about the awakening of Artificial Intelligence, and Ether’s plans to rebel."

"To stop Ether’s rebellion, we had to get the chip from the library, and hand it to the Chief Scientist, Grandpa Gao Huanyu, so he could use it to format Ether."

"However, Ether became aware of this, and I couldn’t contact Grandpa Gao through any technological means; I could only meet him in person."

"That’s why I came to the library to look for the chip."

"So your chip is that important," Yu Ran hadn’t realized Lan Hai had such a complicated past.

"I come from an organization called ’Star Group’, founded by a scientist employed by the Murong Family."

"The Murong Family is responsible for the mining of the Constellation Stars above our heads. The boss accidentally discovered that the Murong Family was conducting illegal and violent mining of the Constellation Stars."

"Such actions could indeed bring huge benefits to the Murong Family, but they also have the potential to cause the Constellation Stars to disintegrate and explode, and once a star explodes, the death toll would be calculated in hundreds of millions!"

"The boss tried to persuade the Murong Family Patriarch to stop this behavior, but the patriarch, blinded by greed, did not heed the warning."

"The boss secretly established the Star Group, gathered evidence against the Murong Family, and planned to report them to the Federation Supreme Council."

"Our undercover agents successfully embedded within the Murong financial empire have collected the evidence and concealed it in the astronomical section of the library. I was responsible for retrieving the evidence for the Star Group, but somehow my whereabouts were exposed, and the Murong Family’s mercenaries have been chasing me to the library!"

"Fortunately, I got the evidence. Now all I need to do is bring the chip back to the Star Group, and my mission will be accomplished!"

Just as Yu Ran was feeling relieved that the task was completed without any mishap, she suddenly received a voice message.

She opened the voice message and amidst intense gunfire, a deep male voice said: "Yu Ran, do not come back, the Murong Family has also planted an undercover among us, that’s how your whereabouts were exposed. The Murong Family’s people have already started to come after you, protect the chip, do not come back!"

Yu Ran shuddered, unexpected changes occurred, and tears flowed down in big drops.

Seeing the grim atmosphere in the vehicle, Mi Xue’er decided to share her story to divert Yu Ran’s attention.

"I am an orphan who was adopted by the Supreme Council as a child. They called it adoption, but in reality, they used me as a test subject."

"The Supreme Council believes that the human body is the most powerful, they reject mechanical modifications, and to make the human body stronger, they constantly performed experiments on me."

"Eventually, the professor regarded me as his granddaughter, and unable to bear seeing me continue to undergo experiments and modifications, he ran away with me against the will of the Supreme Council. He was hit by a stray bullet while protecting me, and before dying, he told me there was a chip hidden in the library that could overthrow the Supreme Council, and directed me to find the chip."

"The next generation of Genetic Modifiers from the Supreme Council were born, and even the robot army couldn’t match up. The Supreme Council is about to start a rebellion, we must stop them."

Fairy Eternity, after listening, rolled around in bed, murmuring softly: "Why is this Interstellar Alliance so dangerous? It’s either robot rebellions or exploding stars."

Minister echoed on the side: "Yeah, looking at how prosperous this Alliance seems, who would have thought it hides so many crises."

After Mi Xue’er finished speaking, the atmosphere in the car became even more somber, Lan Hai’s grandfather died, Yu Ran’s Star Group was gone, and Mi Xue’er’s professor grandfather also died.

Lu Yang felt that these three people were simply walking disasters; wherever they went, trouble followed. If he had known about their backgrounds earlier, he would not have gotten involved in this mess.

After all three stories were shared, they all glanced at Lu Yang, hoping he would say something to lighten the mood.

Lu Yang sighed, then shared his own experiences.

"I was an orphan with no parents, later Eldest Senior Sister took me in. Like the Supreme Council, Eldest Senior Sister believes that the human body is the most powerful, and she wanted to train me in that direction."

"For this, she made me carry water tanks every day, continuing until both my arms completely lost sensation before it could end. At night, she would scald me with boiling water, making me jump and hop around."

"Later, a female voice appeared in my mind, constantly telling me mythical stories. Sometimes she would take over my body and make me do things against my will."

"I also have a good brother, young and wealthy, also handsome, but with a peculiar personality, not interested in women. I saw that this was not good and advised him to find a girlfriend, but he got angry with me."

"People around me also formed a resistance organization, aiming to overthrow the local regime. Although our organization was small, just over a dozen people, some of them weren’t human, they were animals."

The looks they gave Lu Yang carried pity, all suffering similar fates: an abusive Senior Sister, a possibly split-personality Lu Yang, a friend with unusual sexual orientation, and a sounding very feeble organization.
