Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2983: Chapter 2919: They Are All Prey

Jiang Xiao watched as they suddenly became so confrontational and couldn’t help but rub her forehead.

They had been talking about this matter all along, but wasn’t the crystal the most pressing issue now?

”Dad, it’s already proven that the crystal implanted in your brain is a very advanced brainwave recording, analysis, and storage device. That means ever since it was implanted, it has been continuously recording a series of activities generated by your brainwaves. This painting is one of the most prominent images.”

Meng Xinian and Jiang Shiheng exchanged a glance at this point.

They both wondered, why was this image the most prominent?

If it was truly an insignificant dream, what does it mean to have been dreaming about it since then?

Jiang Shiheng himself was more inclined to believe he had seen that image before.

He had seen it.

But now he couldn’t quite figure everything out, and so he refrained from mentioning it, worried it might frighten Jiang Xiao.

”So, they have been tirelessly sending people to pursue me over the years, not to kill me, but to recover this crystal,” Jiang Shiheng said.

Jiang Xiao nodded, ”That seems to be the case.”

After all, if the crystal was implanted but couldn’t be retrieved for research, then everything they did before would be futile.

Meng Xinian spoke in a deep voice, ”Since they’ve successfully implanted the crystal, there was actually no need to force Dad to leave the Jiang Family. Staying in D State would be more convenient, wouldn’t it?”

At least what they knew for sure was that the people had a high likelihood of being in D State.

Jiang Xiao paused for a moment, suddenly realizing that Meng Xinian’s words made sense.

So, could it be that Jiang Shiheng left D State not because he was forced by those people?

Jiang Shiheng thought for a moment and said slowly, ”There were indeed several occasions when I truly felt those people were coming to kill me, which is why I fled. Perhaps there really were two factions back then. One faction implanted the crystal in me for research, and the other simply wanted to kill me.”

The two factions acting simultaneously was what forced him to escape D State at that time.

Both Jiang Xiao and Meng Xinian felt this possibility was very likely.

”Where is the crystal now?” Jiang Shiheng asked Jiang Xiao.

”I have it, don’t worry, Dad, no one can take it,”

Yes, she had it, and Jiang Shiheng felt very assured.

But he had a question he couldn’t comprehend.

”How does this brainwave recording work? How is it stored?”

He couldn’t figure it out even after thinking hard.

In fact, even Meng Xinian couldn’t understand.

Could technology really achieve this level?

They both wore faces filled with questions.

Jiang Xiao knew that it would be possible a few decades later; although this already exceeded her understanding, with technology developing over several decades, this wasn’t a problem.

But it was 1986 now.

She found it hard to fathom, let alone them.

One could only say that the people at that research institute weren’t ordinary; maybe there were geniuses there.

”Brother Xinian, can you tell Dad about Dark Star?” Jiang Xiao looked at Meng Xinian.

”Okay.”

Jiang Xiao then explained the matter of Dark Star carefully to Jiang Shiheng.

The task of Dark Star was to capture those supernatural hunters.

Those Hunters specifically targeted people with special abilities, ”In other words, Dad, people like you are their hunting targets. To them, you’re just prey.”

He was prey.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiheng naturally felt particularly displeased.
