Chapter 731 - 365: A Suspicious Gift
"Although this doesn’t prove anything, it’s extremely terrifying upon careful thought."
In Unos’s perspective, a computer screen appeared, displaying countless garbled codes jumping frantically.
As Unos’s fingertips moved rapidly, soon a large 0 appeared on the computer screen.
"Look, I’ve recreated that piece of history and let the AI calculate. No matter how many times it’s calculated, the chance of that situation happening is 0%."
Guard Brigade was silent for a moment, nodding: "Indeed, it’s extremely terrifying upon careful thought; there’s a behind-the-scenes manipulator controlling all this."
"’It’ either gravely injured or is connected to something that gravely injured the God of Destiny, informing the gods immediately after Destiny was wounded."
"However, the Great Path is certainly important, but some gods shouldn’t be interested, particularly those with intermediate, weak, or tiny divine power."
"Even if Destiny is gravely wounded, even if a divine tier is freed up, it shouldn’t relate much to these gods."
Guard Brigade flipped through the books, filled with contemplation: "Unless... something deliberately wants to muddy the waters... or even... influence the gods’ thoughts."
"That’s impossible; there are nearly a hundred New Gods. If someone could influence all the gods, they would then have the power to kill them." Unos retorted.
Guard Brigade shook his head: "Then something does want to muddy the waters, but it doesn’t have a significant connection to this."
"Here, look at this."
Guard Brigade switched the perspective to his own, showing dense notes and various annotated speculations.
"Hiss~"
The sound of drawn breaths echoed, and Demacia couldn’t help but exclaim: "Are you saying it’s the game system playing tricks behind the scenes?"
"Not sure, but there’s a significant possibility." Guard Brigade turned a page in the notes: "I’ve carefully observed all the announcements issued by this game."
"The Three Great Federations’ game companies should be unable to interfere with the game’s content, not even the forums and previews, which don’t seem to be the handiwork of the game companies."
Unos chimed in: "There’s no need to repeat that. If I couldn’t determine that this world is real, I wouldn’t be collaborating with you, would I?"
"Just listen to me first." Guard Brigade ran his finger over a line of text: "Look at this."
[The prominence and exceptionality of Dawn.]
"At the start of the beta test teaser, Star and Sun were the antagonists, while Dawn was the protagonist."
"Then the 1.0 Evil God Realm was normal, and the Three Federations were unified."
"2.0 Hell’s Guest, this was the original theme of Dawn, but soon after its release, 2.0 changed to a counterattack similar to the Star Continent."
"Afterward, the 3.0 teaser returned to normal."
"Among them, only the Dawn teaser had errors."
Guard Brigade’s contemplative tone gradually turned firm: "Errors happening on April Fool’s are normal, but the premise is... it’s indeed a game."
Without waiting for the companions to ask, Guard Brigade directly said: "So, someone has altered the original course of the game! Or rather, the course of the world! Leading Dawn down a completely different path."
"And to understand all of this, we have to look back."
Guard Brigade said, as a video familiar to everyone present appeared on the multi-person call page.
As the video played, a low-angle perspective appeared.
In the perspective, it was all snow-white, showing a severely injured wolf paw, with the video trembling, clearly representing someone staggering along.
The crunching sound of stepping in the snow was the only sound besides the wind and snow, Old Wolf anxiously looked back, with small specks of blood standing out sharply against the snow-white.
But the blizzard quickly covered the traces, Old Wolf seemed to notice something, staring behind for nearly ten seconds before turning back and stumbling forward with determined steps.
Guard Brigade pressed the pause button: "All changes started from here, if, I mean, if this teaser was originally correct?"
"What do you mean?" Demacia asked curiously.
Unos thought of something, paused for a moment, and asked incredulously: "Are you saying... actually, the Three Great Federations’ teasers were true boss beginnings? The original boss was this wolf?"
"Hiss~ Don’t make jokes. It’s noon, and you’re giving me chills?" Xiahou Fuxing rubbed his arms: "But how can you confirm? I’m still a bit confused right now."
"Watch closely."
Guard Brigade clicked to play the video, and the originally frozen image began playing.
Crunch~ Crunch~
Another heavy sound of snow being tread approached, Old Wolf’s perspective suddenly started blurring, and a familiar voice sounded: "Found you..."
Immediately following, the screen gradually cleared up, revealing a boy with a hood, a delicate face, and calm eyes reaching for the screen.
Then the perspective directly pulled away, and a Worker Bee flew out, with the boy dragging the Old Wolf slowly away.
The image froze again, and Guard Brigade directly closed the video.
He didn’t immediately explain but continued flipping through the notes, finding a page with dense information.
"Baiyi’s parents died when he was five. By deceiving classmates, he obtained a better lifestyle than ordinary civilians. Although this brought bullying, he succeeded with full marks in all knowledge subjects to enter a noble school and met his childhood friend Diane at ten, changing his life."
"At fourteen, he entered the extraordinary level; at fifteen, he began researching various things; at sixteen, he reached Bronze Middle Tier and already had an invention like Barrett that made him financially secure for life."
"Based on character analysis, and the currently available information, along with Baiyi’s behavioral rules, it’s easy to judge."
