Outside the library, the doctor sat on the wide steps, his eyes looking in the direction of the cold gray lake ahead.

A faint mist drifts slowly on the surface of the lake, looking like steam coming out of the lake.

After a while, he reached into the pocket of his white coat, fumbled for a while, and pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.

Pull a cigarette out of the case, bite it in your mouth, and light it.

The smoke from the burning tobacco inhaled into his lungs, and the doctor let out a sigh.

His time is different from everyone else, and although in reality, he seems to have only passed more than a hundred years, but in reality, he has been hovering between the past and the future for thousands of years.

The chaos of the timeline and the rejection of the Overworld made his memories often confuse, and he could no longer remember the last time he lit a cigarette.

"That guy ......"

The doctor muttered suddenly.

He remembered a guy who didn't dare to smoke, and the other party thought he could hide it, but in fact he knew everything.

Even if he changed his identity and was able to start over and be an ordinary person, but the other party still chose to return to the Foundation, his B-level identity could not hide his light at all, and he was still as good as before.

On a planet so desolate that there is only one library, it's rare for the Doctor to spend some time around.

Only when immersed in the memories of the past can his tired soul find a little comfort.

After a while, the cigarette had already burned out unconsciously, and only one cigarette was left on the fingertips.

The doctor seemed to realize something, and looked back.

Xia Ren walked out of the library door.

Compared with before he went in, he didn't seem to have changed much, if he had to say it, his expression seemed more calm.

But in the doctor's observations, it was quite different.

The doctor has no eyes, but his perception is far more acute and accurate than the naked eye.

"Looks like you've got what you wanted."

"Really?"

Xia Ren looked down at his hands and said, "Maybe." ”

He is still in shock, unable to extricate himself.

The doctor didn't ask him exactly what he saw on the slate, the silver key flashed and the spatial passage opened again.

……

……

Back at the Foundation headquarters, Xia Ren locked himself in the ward and stayed for a long time.

The stone tablets record the rise and fall of a civilization, focusing on the exploits of a tribal lord known as the Yellow Emperor, as well as his amazing inventions and medical skills.

The knowledge recorded on the slate is not taboo, and it is not like "The Underground Diggers", which can pollute people, so Xia Ren was not negatively affected.

But some of the things it represents, he can't ignore in any way.

First of all, that history did not happen on the Blue Star.

Because in the records of the stone tablets, after the Yellow Emperor defeated the Chiyou Emperor, he consolidated his rule, developed the people's livelihood, and the tribe was able to continue.

And it is impossible for such an important figure in human development to leave no trace in history.

But there is really no record of the Yellow Emperor in the history of Blue Star, and even the war that affected the entire continent has never been mentioned.

Of course, based on these alone, it is still not certain that the Yellow Emperor never appeared on the Blue Star, and the important evidence is not in the Yellow Emperor himself, nor in the war, but also in some other descriptions.

For example, the Yellow River, such as the existence of dragons, such as those mountains and rivers......

None of the descriptions in it are on the Blue Star.

It is impossible for any human being who grew up on the Blue Star to know the world and civilization recorded on the stone tablet.

But Xia Ren knew.

Even in this world, only he knows it.

After reading the story recorded on the slate, he recalled that he had the same story in his memory.

That memory came to his mind when he forcibly wanted to read the Underground Diggers in his study in Epbon.

At that time, he realized that that memory represented another civilization that was completely different from Blue Star.

And the name of that planet, it's called-

Earth.

The story of the Yellow Emperor takes place on Earth, not on the Blue Star.

The only people who can know this story must be earthlings.

……

……

"Am I a child of the Old Gods, or a visitor from outside the world?"

The more information he obtained, the more Xia Ren found out his identity, but in the fog, he fell deeper and deeper.

Originally, after meeting the doctor, he thought that he was not a human at best.

But then I followed the doctor to the library, good guys, this time even the Blue Star creature may not be.

The tentacles naturally extend from the back of the head.

When he is alone in a room, only this smooth and soft tentacle can bring some comfort to Xia Ren (referring to the soul).

He gently stroked the tentacles, and the dense white suction cups on them opened open, revealing barbed fangs in the center.

This is one of the changes that occurs after viewing the slate.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Xia Ren always feels that this tentacle is tending to perfection, but it always seems to be a little worse.

The distortion value has risen to 20/100, and correspondingly, the integration degree of your own system has finally reached 90/100, and the task has also been increased.

The tasks that are still ongoing are:

[Main quest 1: Find the abyssal alien Zhao Mingyue (unfinished)] 】

[Main quest 2: Investigate the source of pollution.] Complete progress 15/100. 】

[Main quest 3: Capture the escaped containment.] Completion Progress: 2/7. 】

[Side Mission: Spreading Pollution Records to Humans (in progress.)] 】

[Side Quest: Hunt the Ghoul (Unfinished)] 】

Not long ago, a new task was added:

[Main Quest 4: Unseal the Seven Chapters of the Secret Book of Xuanjun!] Progress Completed: Chapter 1 (90/100). 】

[Note: Unblocking progress can be increased by reading the Grimoire.] 】

"Just tell me that I want to study."

Xia Ren has roughly figured out the routine of the system.

If you take a closer look, you can find that the tasks it publishes are basically helping you determine the direction of your future progress, and you don't have to complete it in a short period of time.

It's like looking for Zhao Mingyue and investigating the source of pollution, if you really wait until the day you complete it, I'm afraid the end has come, and although these two tasks are the main line, the rewards are all pitiful, and every time the progress of the investigation of the pollution source is updated, they basically give themselves achievement points in a ratio of one to ten, that is, even if they are all completed, they can only gain a total of 1,000 achievement points.

As for the first main story, there are no rewards at all!

He wrote it himself, and he should have discovered the loophole in this setting a long time ago, but he never noticed it.

The note that follows the new task is probably the real purpose of the system.

He opened the system store, and sure enough, as the system fusion level broke through to 90, the items in the store were also updated.

[Immortal Sand Soul Restoration (100,000 achievement points): The first chapter of the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters of the Secret Sutra" needs to be completely unsealed before it can be exchanged. 】
