I Hijacked The Timeline Chapter 168: Suspicious Points - A Long Road Ahead

Chapter 168: Suspicious Points - A Long Road Ahead

After returning to the dormitory, Feng Qi washed up and changed into a clean set of clothes. Then, he sat at the desk and began to organize the information.

Until now, he still did not believe that w.a.n.g Jinsheng was a domain creature.

If he was a domain creature, why did he return to Star City High School to teach?

During this period, he often wrote and published in influential forums, inspiring many aspiring youth.

Therefore, he believed that Old w.a.n.g was definitely for humanity.

He still clearly remembered what he had said in history cla.s.s.

It was also under his guidance that Feng Qi felt that he could face the truth of the apocalypse when he entered the future dream and choose to come forward and be a savior.

However, just as Wei Wei had said, there were indeed too many suspicious points about w.a.n.g Jinsheng.

As a Historic Great, he had never been a.s.sa.s.sinated by a domain creature. His journey had been too smooth-sailing.

The voice in the black fog said that this was a foreshadowing he had planted a thousand years ago.

This foreshadowing might be as the narrator had said. It was a “switch” implanted in the bloodline of humans. It spread from generation to generation and was eventually implanted into all humans.

So what could do that?

The first thing Feng Qi thought of was cultivation techniques.

Only extremely outstanding cultivation techniques would be continuously promoted and spread. In the end, they would be pa.s.sed down for generations to cultivate.

From this point of view, Old w.a.n.g was indeed filled with suspicious points.

Future evaluated him as a Historic Great, and the research inst.i.tute he was in was the Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute. His core research direction was cultivation techniques.

From this, he had probably developed a super cultivation technique that could change the progress of human civilization.

Is there such a possibility that there is a problem with that super cultivation technique?

Humans who cultivated the super cultivation technique had a “bloodline switch” implanted in their bodies

and the switch affects and pa.s.ses on to the next generation.

Therefore, in the future dream world, the owner of the black fog activated the “switch” and completed a long-planned harvest of humans.

[Is there such a possibility that Old w.a.n.g has been possessed by a domain creature hiding in the dark?]

“Then, the dark forces used Old w.a.n.g’s influence to promote this super cultivation technique…”

At this point, Feng Qi suddenly thought of Lin Ran.

In his historical evaluation, Lin Ran had developed a cultivation technique that caused millions of humans to have their meridians severed and die.

This matter was filled with doubts from the beginning.

Now that Old w.a.n.g was added to the mix, he could not help but suspect that there was something wrong with the Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute.

a.s.suming that the Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute was also a dark force similar to the Science and Technology Research Inst.i.tute,

many questions could then be answered from another perspective.

First, it was Lin Ran.

Because the cultivation technique he created was too outstanding, the dark forces that infiltrated the Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute were very afraid that it could bring rapid growth to humans.

Therefore, they deliberately modified some of the contents of the promoted cultivation technique during the test segment, causing major problems to appear in this cultivation technique.

In this way, the person to ultimately take the blame would be Lin Ran.

It was equivalent to them effortlessly eliminating a “hero” who could promote the development of human cultivation.

If one considered the problem from this perspective, it would be very easy to explain Lin Ran was fine when he cultivated the cultivation technique he developed and nothing happened during his tests but a huge problem occurred when he was released.

Next was w.a.n.g Jinsheng.

As a Historic Great, he must have introduced many outstanding cultivation techniques before he developed super cultivation techniques. In terms of influence, he was even stronger than Lin Ran.

Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute used some method to control and make use of him. Then, they introduced a cultivation technique similar to the bloodline switch.

Moreover, this cultivation technique could indeed bring improvement to humans, so a large number of humans cultivated it.

In fact, the curse that could destroy human civilization was hidden in this cultivation technique. The owner of the black fog had long been prepared to use this to harvest all of humanity.

From this perspective, everything seemed to make sense.

[Ah Qi, do you still remember Le Ping’an?]

“What about him?”

[Back then, you couldn’t understand why he joined Star City Academy. Now, it seems like it’s possible that the Science and Technology Research Inst.i.tute wants to infiltrate the Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute?]

Hearing the narrator’s words, Feng Qi was stunned.

After learning that Le Ping’an was a spy, he had a question that he ultimately did not get an answer to.

That was why did the Science and Technology Research Inst.i.tute want Le Ping’an to join Star City AcademyaC,

At that time, he was not famous yet. Even his cultivation exercises was still in the testing stage. It was impossible for the Science and Technology Research Inst.i.tute to specially plant Le Ping’an by his side. They must have other motives.

It was only by chance that they discovered he was investigation about the dark forces, which resulted in a series of actions from the spy.

He had asked Le Ping’an what he wanted to do after graduation.

Le Pingan’s answer was to join a cultivation research inst.i.tute.

Was there such a possibility that the Science and Technology Research Inst.i.tute had actually been planning to infiltrate a cultivation research inst.i.tute for a long time, and this target was very likely to be the Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute.

The dark forces had allowed Le Ping’an to join Star City Academy precisely because academy had a close cooperative relations.h.i.+p with the Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute all year round.

As long as Le Ping’an performed well in the academy, he could be recommended for admission to the Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute.

Old w.a.n.g, who had been recommended to enter the Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute, had also graduated from Star City Academy.

The answer to the question seemed to be getting clearer.

At the thought of this, the image of Le Ping’an, who was studying cultivation books diligently and seriously, appeared in his mind.

All of this was just to infiltrate Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute?

[That’s indeed possible. In the future history process that you don’t understand, the Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute was eventually controlled by the secret force behind the Science and Technology Research Inst.i.tute.]

Hearing this, Feng Qi was about to nod.

However, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind. He recalled what the owner of the black fog had said to Mu Yao.

He said,

“1 didn’t win, but humans have already lost. No human can survive.”

To Feng Qi, the first three words seemed to have an additional meaning.

“Narrator, do you think there’s such a possibility that the faction that controls the Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute is different from the domain faction that controls the Science and Technology Research Inst.i.tute? The Science and Technology Research Inst.i.tute wants to infiltrate the Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute purely to infiltrate the core area of the enemy and obtain information for themselves.”

[It’s completely possible. Domain creatures are clearly divided into factions. While they resist humans, they are also fighting against each other, so the owner of the black fog said that he did not win, but humans have already lost.]

Thinking of this, Feng Qi felt a headache.

He originally thought that this was a confrontation between humans and domain creatures, but from the current clues, it was very likely that there were many hidden forces.

There was also a game going on between these forces.

Perhaps the reason why Mu Yao spared the owner of the black fog and went east in the future dream was to deal with the expansion of another domain faction.

[This is taking too much brainpower. My head is about to go bald.]

Ignoring the narrator’s complaints, Feng Qi opened his notebook and began to write.

A moment later, two more guesses appeared in the notebook.

Science and Technology Research Inst.i.tute (confirmed as a domain force):

Known historical influence: Destroyed the Scarlet Research Inst.i.tute, created spiritual energy nanomites (Blackie), a.s.sa.s.sinated the new generation of human geniuses

Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute:

Speculation: It might be controlled by the domain faction that infiltrated the Science and Technology Research Inst.i.tute.

Speculation 2: There might be another domain faction controlling it behind the scenes. The Science and Technology Research Inst.i.tute sent Le Ping’an to infiltrate the enemy lines and prepare for the battle between them in the future.

Speculation 3: The problem only lies with Old w.a.n.g. There’s no problem with Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute.

He put down the pen and fell into deep thought.

These guesses were inferred from the existing information. They might not be the truth.

However, if it was the truth, there might be more than one domain force hidden in human civilization.

While they were playing games with each other, they were constantly eroding the development of human civilization.

When human civilization was completely destroyed, it was time for the war between them to begin and fight for the entire world.

In other words, as the owner of the black fog had said, humans had already lost, but it had yet to win.

If that was the truth, there was a questioned that could be explained.

Why did the Science and Technology Research Inst.i.tute not choose to destroy human civilization in one wave when they clearly had the strength to easily destroy the Scarlet Research Inst.i.tute and even destroy human civilization?

This was because they were also afraid of other factions in the dark.

They had the ability to destroy human civilization, but they did not have the ability to win against the other forces.

Even the Science and Technology Research Inst.i.tute might be looking for what other factions that had infiltrated human civilization.

At this thought, a new doubt appeared in Feng Qi heart.

Since the real world is the true battlefield and has already been infiltrated by various domain factions, what is the Path to Heaven?

The enemy has already infiltrated human civilization. Why would those missing experts go to the Path to Heaven?

Shouldn’t they choose to stay and fight with humans or carry out a detoxification operation?

“Narrator, come out and a.n.a.lyze the situation for me.”

[Ding- The system has been thinking so much that it’s dead. It can’t answer any questions.]

After a moment of silence, Feng Qi felt that only two people could answer this question.

One was Mu Yao.

One was Lu Yue.

It was not easy to come into contact with Mu Yao. He would need to choose the future timeline where he joined the Dawn army.

However, judging from the time, it was very likely that he would die young because of some accident and could not wait for the formation of Dawn.

This future timeline was one option, but there were risks.

As for Lu Yue, what puzzled him was why his future self had never left behind any information about Lu Yue explaining the Path to Heaven.

Could it be that even if they trusted each other, the secrets of the Path to Heaven could not be revealed?

If he went to look for Lu Yue now to ask for the answer, it was obvious that he would not tell him. After all, they were not particularly close, so he had to find out the answer from the future timeline.

Other than that,

there was another question that remained unanswered. Why is Blackie able to accurately locate and chase after him?

Logically speaking, he had already been erased from the timeline. When Blackie was born, he had been dead for countless years. Why was he being hunted?

Blackie did not appear in the previous future dream.

He had two guesses about this.

Firstly, he was already dead before Blackie could reach him.

Secondly, his act of resisting the Science and Technology Research Inst.i.tute in this future timeline caused Blackie to die before it was born, so there was no Blackie.

As he pondered, Feng Qi kept recording his thoughts in his notebook and consolidating the information.

He realized that there seemed to be more unresolved problems after returning from the future dream.

Originally, after confirming that the Science and Technology Research Inst.i.tute was a secret force that infiltrated human civilization, he thought that as long as the Science and Technology Research Inst.i.tute was eliminated in the future, human civilization would enter a rapid development stage.

As long as he kept plagiarizing future cultivation techniques and bringing them back to reality, human civilization would welcome the final victory.

However, judging from the new information,

the path of saving the world was still filled with thorns. He still had a long way to go, and there were many unsolved mysteries that he needed to find answers to.

After closing the notebook, he took a deep breath.

“D*mn it!
