My Dream Connects to 3000 Years in the Future

’Don’t think about anything! Don’t think about anything.’

Chu Bamboo muttered to himself as he started reading the diary again.

He’d already secured the baseline reward!

Now, it was time to see if the diary held any surprises...

Chu Bamboo’s eyes scanned ten lines at a glance.

”May 1st. I met with Hodges. As it happens, he’s in Big Apple City right now! His current address is: ...

I spoke with him at length and extended an invitation... Just like last time, Hodges said he would give anything if I could rescue his daughter.

I agreed!”

”I didn’t ask Golden Dawn for help. Instead, I chose to let Z run wild.

To be honest, I was a little nervous... This is Celestial Net’s home turf, after all! And what I had with me was ultimately just an interface connecting to Z’s main server...

But it went better than I expected. It could also be that Z’s capabilities are just that much higher than Celestial Net’s!

So, everything went smoothly...”

”May 2nd. Something’s not right! Z sifted through the countless threads of information online and came to a final conclusion—

The final destination of Hodges’s daughter... vaguely points to Luo* Island?”

Chu Bamboo: ”???”

What the hell? Chu Bamboo was shocked. This was just too surreal!

But after thinking it over for a moment, Chu Bamboo realized, ’This is so White-headed Eagle... Wait, could this island be something Golden Dawn cooked up? Was that it last time, too? Did my investigation trigger a stress response from Golden Dawn, causing them to do something like that...’

Chu Bamboo rubbed his temples, indulging in his malicious speculation.

”May 3rd. I went to the Miami Station and participated in the Grand Slam! Nothing much to say, just casually broke a world record...

That’s right, I broke the world record! With my Chixiao Divine Techniques, this terrifying Blessing Power recovery... and Z gradually beginning to infiltrate the deeper world of Europe and America... I’ve obtained a massive amount of information and can even vaguely control some electronic devices in the Europe and America World...

I’ve gradually gained confidence and am no longer playing it safe.

As expected, Howard’s attitude toward me changed! He used an Artifact to test me...

Tsk tsk! But he never expected that I’d take the opportunity to analyze that Artifact.”

”Name: Holy Grail.

Effect: Holy Blood.

Detailed Description: The blood of a child that falls into it will be transformed into Holy Blood. Consuming Holy Blood cannot break the limits of human lifespan, but it can drastically improve a person’s condition! Even those with fatal terminal illnesses can maintain a normal state.

Drawback: The Holy Blood needed to heal one person requires all the blood from an eight-year-old child.”

Chu Bamboo: ”...”

This... is too twisted!

Chu Bamboo’s brow furrowed. ’Can this thing really be called the Holy Grail? It’d be more reasonable to call it the Cup of Lucifer or the Chalice of Satan!’

’And... isn’t this description a little familiar?!’

After a moment of thought, Chu Bamboo was struck with a sudden realization. ’The half-antidote for radiation sickness... So that’s how it is! Of course! There was never any antidote at all; it was all purely thanks to a Sacred Artifact?!’

For a moment, Chu Bamboo didn’t know what expression to make. He shook his head with a sigh and continued reading.

”This little test obviously didn’t reveal anything! So Howard’s attitude went back to how it was before.”

”May 4th. Something’s not right... Huo Yuan probably wasn’t taken to Luo* Island... maybe it’s another organization similar to that island?

Z is gradually picking up the trail... After staying within the White-headed Eagle Country for a while... Huo Yuan was transported to the Nanmo Kingdom?

It’s just that those bastards are still telling Hodges that Huo Yuan is in the White-headed Eagle Country and is very safe... They even seem to have arranged for a body double of Huo Yuan.

Damn. No wonder my good friend couldn’t get her out before. It would’ve been a miracle if he could.

Isn’t this just fraud? It reminds me of those damn scammers in Southeast Asia... The person is already dead, but they refuse to admit it, still trying every trick in the book to squeeze money out of the relatives...”

Chu Bamboo bit his lip, a thought already forming... ’Don’t tell me... by the time of this diary entry, Huo Yuan was already dead?!’

”May 6th. Z’s information probe was finally detected by Celestial Net!

But Z is the strongest!

Even with insufficient computing power, even deep in enemy territory, she still bought me a precious three-hour window.”

”I used that time to grab Hodges and make a run for it, then snatched a bunch of suspicious items from an Eastern antique exhibition.

Ultimately, under Z’s cover, I successfully escaped.”

”I know you must be curious... about how exactly I escaped, right?”

”Heh, it was actually pretty shameless... You should know that the White-headed Eagle side has a fair number of electric cars now, right? And Z... just happens to be a little bit... knowledgeable... in that area. Ahem! Anyway, that’s how it was.”

”...” Chu Bamboo’s eye twitched. ’Wait, did Z just brute-force the passwords for all those electric cars? And then remote-start them... This!’

’Well, that makes sense...’

’Even though Z was discovered by Celestial Net, it’s likely just that—discovered. It’s a long way from being completely suppressed by Celestial Net.’

’But, my man... he swiped so many antiques this time! I wonder if there are any Artifacts among them?!’

Chu Bamboo thought for a moment, a flicker of anticipation rising within him.

”May 14th. After countless hardships, I finally found Huo Yuan’s location in Nanmo...

Unfortunately, she had already been dead for two days!

Heh, large numbers of Chinese, Mao Bear people, Japanese, Koreans, Indians, Caucasians... all sold here! Mostly young, beautiful women.”

”It was a massive Pyramid. Judging by its architectural style, it must be a relic of the Maya Civilization...

I later confirmed it. This was indeed the handiwork of the Golden Dawn!”

”I realized that the Maya Civilization must have possessed Extraordinary power, or perhaps Extraordinary Artifacts... and these trafficked women must be a crucial part of activating... this Pyramid!”

”All I could do was kill all the guards and let the women escape!

I couldn’t save them. What becomes of their Destiny... is up to them now!”

”Hodges is dead... After learning of his daughter’s death, he went completely insane, with no thought of escape! Sigh... However, he got his hands on a large amount of the explosives I’d gathered in Nanmo! He was clearly preparing... to take a batch of investigators down with him before he died.”

”However, even though I failed... there’s still you!

The specific coordinates of that Maya Civilization Pyramid are: ...

If you can, completely destroy that place of sin!

This isn’t a request... because I know you too well. As long as you’ve seen this... you will definitely take action. No matter how much you pretend not to care, you ultimately can’t stand to let things like this go...”
