Phantasmal Genesis - Chapter 57: With what right?
Abnormalities Investigation Bureau?
This was the initial reaction of Zhang Shan Hai, and it was the same for these people.
How many departments existed in their entire county?
Or, was there a lot of superpowers in this world?
Meng Ke suddenly realised that his red-dotted map could display the existence of superpowers, but what if they could conceal themselves?
Or what if their powers surpassed the level his map could detect?
Did that mean there were more than these 25 superpowers in this world?
He had noticed Riven’s appearance on the map, and Meng Ke had a feeling that she was most likely who Yasuo was waiting for.
And once this group had appeared and Meng Ke had read their memories, he now knew.
League of Legends might have actually had an abnormal change to it.
In the memory of the sunglasses-wearing woman, they first noticed a NEET, and then they became aware of the game.
This game would only appear on their monitor, the bearer of its information was unrelated to the computer and any other computer connected to a monitor could play it.
And, according to the NEET, this game was famous all over the world for 8 years.
Now this was strange.
The Abnormalities Investigation Bureau had investigated this for a while, and they confirmed that memories of this game only existed in the NEET’s mind.
And, when the NEET was asleep, Riven appeared.
They had named this incident with the name of the game, Riven was the first to be found, and then she was named ‘League of Legends’ – Derivative no. 1.
And when Yasuo first attacked Meng Ke, a lot of videos were uploaded to the internet. Through cross-investigation, they immediately realised that he was from this game as well.
And it resulted in what was happening now.
“He is Yasuo, but I don’t know why he became like this.” Riven spoke with furrowed brows.
“Bring him back.” Nodding her head, the woman wearing sunglasses instructed the gun-wielding soldiers. (I don’t know why, but they were referred to as soldiers from this point onwards.)
And just as two soldiers were about to come forward, a man wearing a white Hanfu outfit appeared in thin air, becoming clearer slowly.
“Ka ka ka…”
Everyone was shocked, and countless guns were raised. But Meng Ke wasn’t afraid, he was using a phantasy.
Riven could sense that the person before her was an ordinary human, but the way that he had appeared……
“Who are you? Can’t you see we’re on official business!” The sunglasses-wearing woman walked forwards stiffly. She needed to be tough in times like this, and she instantly calmed the situation, befitting the status of the tyrannical government.
And she was right, the soldiers that were still shocked quickly became alert as they treated this man as their enemy.
“I am from the First Universe’s Higher Human Alliance, you may refer to me as……”
“Mu Ke.”
The white-haired man in a white Hanfu outfit looked coldly at them as if he were looking at his own kind, but with a sliver of something strange.
It could only be described as a gaze from a Han Chinese looking at ethnic minorities, it wasn’t arrogant, but it was just a bit strange.
“I am from First Universe Humanity, and I am the investigator dispatched here to investigate the time-space abnormalities.”
The sunglasses-wearing woman locked eyes with her companions, and their eyebrows were raised unanimously. They had thought that a mischief (group of rats) from another country was here, but it seemed that this was an organisation they didn’t know of.
The sunglasses-wearing woman glanced at Yasuo, who was still lying on the ground with a blissful expression, then turned her cold eyes towards the phantasy Mu Ke.
“You did this to him?”
Temporarily overlooking that unknown First Universe Higher Human Alliance, the woman focused on what was currently going on. She needed to take care of this incident first before going back to research whatever information they had.
Mu Ke didn’t deny anything, “He attacked me, this was just a lesson.”
Meng Ke knew what the woman was thinking, and he laughed. He wanted them to go back to investigate.
If not, why would he make those reincarnators?
The reincarnator’s memories would have been questioned by this group of people, and as long as they kept communication within the country, he could mislead them into believing him.
And now, a man from the future had appeared in this time period, and once they did their research……
Wouldn’t they fall into the trap that Meng Ke had laid?
And then, the group of them would be led by their noses.
Of course, there was a small chance that they might choose to never believe the memories of those reincarnators.
But, there would be more and more evidence appearing in front of their faces in the future. By that time, would they still choose to deny this truth?
It was the same concept as the clamorous words of the mass may obscure the facts or turn lies into truth, he wasn’t planning on messing around.
“Since you’re willing to reveal yourself, it seems that you are willing to communicate with us. Would you mind curing this man’s status first?” The sunglasses-wearing woman didn’t know how to describe how she felt, but she no longer wanted to look at Yasuo anymore.
Mu Ke thought for a moment, and then spoke, “We are in your country right now, and I will follow your laws……but this is an accident, when he had attacked me, I didn’t expect him to be so weak. To cure this kind of attack, I can try.”
Testing on Yasuo meant that he would leave some memories on his body. If it was just simply erasing his memories, he would feel all sorts of discomfort in his body.
He had to connect to his body’s subconscious to eliminate this sensation of bliss.
Yasuo should be grateful, he was lucky that Meng Ke would have prepared solutions to everything he tested.
“Erg……”
Yasuo’s lustful eyes suddenly became hazy, and in the eyes of the onlookers, his trembling body slowly became still.
And once his eyes returned to their indifferent look, Meng Ke immediately uploaded the memory of everything that had happened in a third-person view into his mind.
With a poof, his originally cold and prideful face turned red as he wavered in indignity. He wanted to unsheath his sabre, but he knew that he couldn’t win, and he was afraid that if he lost again……
As a result, he could only stare hatefully at Meng Ke without doing anything.
“Don’t look at me like that.” Meng Ke glanced his way with a cold look, and meeting his eyes, Yasuo immediately shrunk away, his body involuntarily inching towards Riven.
Compared to the man that had tormented him, Riven and the rest seemed safer.
Meng Ke looked at the sunglasses-wearing woman again, speaking sincerely, “The First Universe’s Higher Human Alliance Time Management Bureau, from a time period that you cannot know, has noticed a fork in the human Earth’s timeline and started an investigation to find the cause, I am the first investigator.”
“As humans, you are all under the time-space jurisdiction of the Higher Human Alliance. As per the rules, you should unconditionally assist me in my investigation.”
What kind of logic was this?!
The sunglasses-wearing woman didn’t even need to check with her higher-ups to know that they wouldn’t even recognise the legitimacy of the Higher Human Alliance, much less assist them.
Holding back her laughter, she asked, “What right do you have for us to assist you?”
Meng Ke looked at her, his stern gaze causing goosebumps to appear all over her body. She felt as though she had just said something she shouldn’t……
“Based on the fact that we are all humans!”
Translator’s note
Messed up on the previous chapter, Riven was described as ‘英雄联盟’--1号衍生物, which is supposed to be ‘League of Legends’ – Derivative no. 1.
This naming sense is seen throughout the Abnormalities Investigation Bureau with different items, such as the blue medicinal liquid known as ‘Unknown screen’ — Derivative No.23.
I forgot about it, and after a deep dive into a card game’s wiki and a couple of Japanese forums, I thought it meant skirmisher……sorry. As usual, updated my mistake in the previous chapter.
