Chapter 1075: Everyone Has a Tragic Past

"Whoo, we really escaped!"

The youths celebrated their survival after the disaster by high-fiving, but only Lu Yang remained unresponsive.

"My name is Lan Hai," the youth introduced himself proactively. Although they had just met, having experienced a life-and-death crisis, the youths seemed to have become long-time friends.

"My name is Yu Ran," the first girl introduced.

"My name is Michelle," said the blonde, blue-eyed girl.

The three looked at Lu Yang, who had been taciturn from beginning to end, and the meaning in their eyes was self-evident.

Since others had introduced themselves proactively, out of politeness, Lu Yang had to introduce himself as well: "My name is Meng Jingzhou."

"So it's Brother Meng. Today was truly an unprovoked disaster!" Lan Hai sighed, feeling for Lu Yang.

Although Lu Yang also felt it was just an unprovoked disaster.

"Actually, I didn't expect things to develop to this point. Originally, I was just tidying up the relics left by Grandpa..."

Lu Yang hurriedly interrupted Lan Hai's recollection: "Stop, don't say any more. I'm just a passerby; I don't want to know so much."

Lan Hai shook his head: "No, Brother Meng, face reality. You won't just be a passerby. Although I got the chip, 'Aether' saw that you and I got the chip together, and it will absolutely not let you go."

Lu Yang: "..."

Is your Interstellar Alliance so unfriendly to tourists?

"However, Brother Meng, you are right. Now is not the time to talk. Let's get in the car and talk." Lan Hai opened the sports car; it was the one he had used to crash into the library. After crashing the library into a collapse, the sports car didn't even have a scratch on its paint, showing the terror of its quality.

Lu Yang had no choice but to accept his fate, get in the car, and listen to Lan Hai tell his story.

Of course, there was another reason for getting in the car: the Decayed Fairy wanted to hear the story.

"Let's follow along; it feels quite fun."

The two girls also followed and got into the car.

"My grandfather's name was Lan Kang. Although he didn't have much fame in the Alliance, he was absolutely the most brilliant scientist in the entire Alliance, and he was also the senior fellow apprentice of the Alliance's Chief Scientist, Gao Huanyu."

"This sports car of mine was modified for me by Grandpa."

"A month ago, Grandpa died suddenly. At first, I didn't suspect anything, until I was tidying up Grandpa's relics and found the notebook Grandpa left behind, which recorded the awakening of Artificial Intelligence and the fact that Aether was going to launch a rebellion."

"If we want to stop the Aether rebellion, we must get the chip in the library and hand it to the Chief Scientist, Grandpa Gao Huanyu, so he can use the chip to format Aether."

"However, Aether learned about this. I couldn't contact Grandpa Gao through any technical means; I had to see him offline."

"For this reason, I came to the library to look for the chip first."

"So your chip is so important." Yu Ran hadn't expected Lan Hai to have such a complicated past.

"I come from an organization called the 'Star Gathering Society'. The boss who founded the Star Gathering Society was a scientist employed by the Murong family."

"The Murong family was responsible for the star mining above our heads. The boss accidentally discovered that the Murong family was conducting illegal and violent star mining work."

"Such behavior could indeed bring huge benefits to the Murong family, but it could also cause the star to disintegrate and explode. Once the star explodes, the death toll would be counted in the hundreds of millions!"

"The boss tried to persuade the head of the Murong family to stop this behavior, but the head of the Murong family was blinded by greed and didn't listen to the boss's dissuasion."

"The boss secretly established the Star Gathering Society to collect evidence of the Murong family and report it to the Federal Supreme Council."

"Our undercover agent planted in the Murong consortium successfully collected the evidence and hid it in the astronomy section of the library. I was responsible for taking the evidence back to the Star Gathering Society, but who knew how my whereabouts were exposed? The Murong family's mercenaries hunted me all the way to the library!"

"Fortunately, I got the evidence. Next, as long as I take the chip back to the Star Gathering Society, my mission will be completed!"

Just as Yu Ran was rejoicing that the mission had been completed without danger, she suddenly received a voice message.

She clicked on the voice message, and a deep male voice came through the intense gunfire: "Yu Ran, don't come back. The Murong family has also planted undercover agents among us; that's how your whereabouts were exposed. Now the Murong family's people have already killed their way here. Protect the chip, don't come back!"

Yu Ran's body shook. She hadn't expected such a turn of events, and large drops of tears fell down.

Seeing the gloomy atmosphere in the car, Michelle decided to tell her story to divert Yu Ran's attention.

"I am an orphan. I was adopted by people from the Supreme Society since I was a child. They said it was adoption, but in reality, they were using me as a test subject."

【Note: Text garbled/repeated】

"The Supreme Society believes that the human body is the most powerful. They refuse mechanical modification. In order to make the human body powerful, they continuously conducted experiments on me."

"In the end, the Doctor regarded me as his granddaughter. He couldn't bear to see me continue to be experimented on and modified, so he went against the will of the Supreme Society and let me run away. The Doctor was hit by a stray bullet while covering me. Before he died, he told me that a chip capable of toppling the Supreme Society was hidden in the library, and asked me to find the chip."

"The new generation of genetically modified people of the Supreme Society has been born; even the robot army is no match for them. The Supreme Society will launch a rebellion; we must stop the Supreme Society."

After listening, the Decayed Fairy rolled around on the bed and muttered in a low voice: "Why is this Interstellar Alliance so dangerous? It's either robot rebellion or star explosion."

The sycophant echoed from the side: "Yes, seeing this Alliance so prosperous, who would have thought that so many crises are hidden in the dark."

After Michelle finished speaking, the atmosphere in the car became even heavier. Lan Hai's grandfather was dead, Yu Ran's Star Gathering Society was gone, and Michelle's Doctor grandfather was also dead.

Lu Yang felt that these three people were simply walking disasters; wherever they went, something would happen. If he had known they had such backgrounds, he wouldn't have waded into these muddy waters.

After the three finished telling their stories, their eyes all drifted toward Lu Yang, hoping he would say something to ease the atmosphere at the scene.

Lu Yang sighed and also told them about his own experiences.

"I have been without parents since I was a child. Later, the Senior Sister took me in. The Senior Sister, like the Supreme Society, believes that the human body is the most powerful, and she also wanted to train me in this regard."

"For this reason, she made me carry water vats all day long, and it wouldn't end until both my arms had completely lost feeling. When night came, she would scald me with boiling water, making me jump up and down."

"Later on, a female voice appeared in my mind, telling me myths and stories non-stop. Sometimes she would even occupy my body and do things against my will."

"I also have a good brother, young and wealthy, and he looks handsome, but his personality is strange; he doesn't get close to women. I saw that this wouldn't do, so I advised him to find a girlfriend. It would have been better if I hadn't said anything, but as soon as I mentioned this, he would get angry with me."

"The people around me also established a resistance organization, with the goal of overthrowing the local rule. It's just that our organization has few people, only a dozen or so, and some of them aren't even human; they are animals."

The pity in the eyes of the three looking at Lu Yang was evident. They were all poor people just like them: a Senior Sister with abusive tendencies, a Lu Yang suspected of having a split personality, a good brother with an abnormal sexual orientation, and an organization that sounded very weak.
