Chapter 1825: line with translation of chapter title

Bro felt he was idle.

Then Aomo gathered information again.

Although it was a bit rough and far from a smooth investigation, it could still be regarded as a puzzle worth keeping.

It's a pity that he gathered more than two pieces of information, but only those two seemed able to be pieced together.

【The split-body that carried away ultra-data from the Light Beast's fallen form ←→ The Light Beast's fallen form had the Lilith Beast personally provide massive data supply】

To be frank, there is no direct evidence showing their connection, but the difference between the ultra-data crystal and the bulk data package is merely like the difference between a 4 GB compressed file and a 150 GB compressed file.

There is basically no difference.

Aomo seriously doubted that the two led to the same place; although the saying 'the dark region is in ruins everywhere, many places will need this data' is also a possibility, but after waiting a moment we will know.

Once the Xiangyu siblings' instrument finishes its final parameter adjustment, there will be an explanation as to whether it is inside the Belfi Beast or somewhere else.

As for the information that cannot serve as an effective puzzle piece but can still be accepted, it comes from the Devouring Star Zero side.

That is, following the intelligence line of the Beast Sect's territory.

In personal terms, this is what he truly values.

Although Digital Beasts have a considerable proportion of giant beasts, and have been called monsters since their discovery, that was merely the result of ignorance back then; after extensive research, massive contact, and even former enemies turning allies, aside from clueless transmigrants, no one now calls them monsters.

Even though Aomo Lindun's personal judgment of the monster concept is actually quite lenient, he still finds it somewhat lacking, far less appealing than the Beast Sect's stockpile.

It's just that it's not yet time to clear out the inventory.

Gazing at the sect's storage house whose interior was arranged like a penguin logistics container warehouse, Devouring Star Zero silently shifted his gaze and continued to eavesdrop on the senior members' grumbling nearby.

"We were clearly following the manual, so why blame us!"

"The bishop probably doesn't want that either; mainly, the priests from the R&D department are also there, right..."

"The bigwigs of the R&D department don't care about the materials we risked our lives to obtain; they just keep complaining there about insufficient quality and quantity."

"The bishop himself isn't any good either! He's got a good relationship with another priest and the R&D department! You two are still just hypnotizing yourselves over there!"

"What good relations? You're not hypnotizing yourself either, Xu Jingyue; in the sect, any good relations are only for struggling and profit; once you get a bit better off, you should prepare to be screwed—take this to heart, Devouring Star Zero."

"Okay, senior."

"Haha, you're really obedient, but did you actually hear what I said?"

"You need to be more careful with your teammates in order to grow into a stage where they'll find you more worth harvesting."

"Good, good, good! You understood well—no wonder the boss specially transferred you in; you've got great prospects!"

"No kidding! You started with the Megagorgon Serpent, so what did you have when you first joined the sect? Huh, Saiwenjia capsules!"

"What's wrong with Saiwenjia! Is your Gomora really that high-end? Plus I've hammered your Gomora three times with my Saiwenjia!"

"You don't know jack! Gomora is the protagonist's choice! Back then the thunder relied on it—"

"The mole that got hammered three times by my Saiwenjia can go fuck itself."

"Come on, let's spar right now!"

"Fine! Just honestly use your Gomora and don't switch monsters!"

It's a bit noisy here, but that's normal, seeing as the executive department's bishop just reprimanded us.

Although we can understand the special emphasis in special times, the sect's lower-level hunters still can't help grumbling; only a few end up fighting while complaining, whereas most are just like Devouring Star Zero themselves.

With a careless glance elsewhere, putting on an attentive look only when called upon—this was originally Aomo's excellent habit when distracted, but it's also a basic quality everyone here possesses.

All that can be said is that this bunch has quite the stories.

According to Aomo's habit of observing and marking a dash then adding a keyword in the details, these people's surroundings are truly filled with characters.

Furthermore, those characters might even be reversed.

But that obviously cannot be said to be wasting time.

Observing and listening are always correct.

Just like when he had been carefully following the local investigative direction, cautiously sifting through information related to the high priest yet seeing no results, those in the know would say:

"Have you heard the breeding center is open again? Want to go crack open some egg blind boxes?"

"The breeding center? I thought it had to open only periodically because it consumes too many resources; I remember the cycle being as long as a season, with no hope at all."

"So they opened it because resources are surplus? Lately it's been the best time in decades."

"No, no, no! That's not the point! The point is, do you know who applied to open the breeding center this time?"

"Who?"

"The high priest!"

"Huh?"

"Over in the Development Department they're saying that this blind-box opening might yield something really extravagant! After all, it was the high priest himself who brought it up!"

The Breeding Center, as the name suggests, is a research institution engaged in reproductive health and genetic studies.

In the Beast Sect, its purpose is certainly not to overcome reproductive isolation among some followers; it is a special institution established for 'monster egg hatching,' 'monster fetus care,' and 'monster genetic adjustment.' Moreover, as one member put it, citing 'resource conservation,' the Beast Sect's Breeding Center had set its opening cycle at fifty-two years as early as over a century ago.

It can be said that some members never get a chance to see one from joining to retirement, death, or imprisonment, so many members who do obtain 'monster eggs,' 'monster fetuses/young,' or the like either freeze‑store them, use them in a 'kill the chicken to get the egg' fashion for immediate gain, or boldly collaborate with certain technical organizations outside the sect……

One could practically pretend the institution doesn't exist, and certainly not expect the 'Breeding Center blind box' activity that only a few old‑timer members talk about.

So when the news of its opening was released, most people remained doubtful.

Furthermore, many felt this proved that, in this brief journey through the cosmic bubble, the bigwigs above had already reaped extraordinarily extravagant gains—so extravagant that nobody could comprehend them!

Really?

It's not that Aomo doubts everyone's ability, nor does he doubt the opportunities for these criminals to extort and loot provided by the federal special environments such as the Boundary Gate Zone, Heavenly Gate City, and Ever‑Common City.

The question is merely what level of accumulation thirteen years ahead would represent; although it wouldn't be a century‑case, it should still be a major case worthy of simultaneous broadcast on several federal channels, and regardless of whether it's linked to the Beast Sect, the report ought to be unavoidable.

But there have been no such reports in the past few days.

If you were to list the major cases and big news of the past two years…

Wow! Juanjuan has a grandpa's name. jpg

You mean to say…… the cult has been trailing behind me, scavenging?

Or are you saying I'm the sponsor behind the cult?

Don't be too absurd.

Compared to that possibility, Aomo would rather believe that this matter is something that happened these past two days——the timing is too coincidental, the people involved are also coincidental, it's highly likely to involve the content he's curious about regarding 'what the High Priest has been busy with these days', and at the same time it's also content that would allow the Breeding Facility to unusually open up!

But this also indeed feels unrelated to Digital Monsters and the Seven Great Demon Kings, like a puzzle piece belonging to a different picture—even if you hold it in your hand, you can only set it aside for now.

——Don't rush!

Aomo, or rather Shixingling, thinks this way.

Anyway, I'm idle right now; whether it's truly unrelated or not, I need to investigate to find out!
