[Right now, my thoughts are clearer than ever before, and there's a complete logical thread in my mind]
[This must be what they call the "final monts"... As my chaotic consciousness wraps around my brain once more, perhaps I will completely succumb]
[I don't have much ti left, but it should barely be enough]
[Those inner organs will wriggle, and if we lose control of them, who knows where they'll go]
[To make it easier for those who co after us to find them without spending too much ti searching, I devised a way to assemble the most resolute warriors among us, and fixed the organs, along with the jars sealing them, onto these warriors]
[This will plunge those warriors into even greater ntal agony, but we have no choice; it's all for those who co after us...]
[Additionally, there's one point I need to add, that is...]
[Although we've found most of the boy king's inner organs, the most crucial organ—the heart—is nowhere to be found]
[As everyone knows, aside from the brain, the heart is the most critical of all organs... Without it, we cannot eliminate 'it']
[We searched almost the entire Yangshan Town for the heart, but found nothing, not even the slightest clue]
[My guess is that... that heart might be hidden in the forest outside the town, as that's the only place we haven't set foot in]
[Alright, let's straighten up the entire tiline now]
[We've understood the past of the boy king, so we can skip that directly]
[This guy's organs, sealed underground, created Yangshan Town, but due to "it", that is, the birth of the inner organs' consciousness, the whole town, including the nearby mine tunnels, transford into sothing akin to the "Death Domain"]
[Afterward, ti passed, whether it was thousands or tens of thousands of years]
[Until the 1940s, a "Kamosi Command" event broke out in Nest City Central City, causing many miners to fall ill and their lifespans to rapidly shorten]
[To compensate for their lost lifespans and avoid the fate of an early death, so miners in Nest City No.3 learned, through certain ans, about Yangshan Town and the "Internal Organ Sacrifice" ritual]
[The first generation of miners that ca here was deceived by "it", believing that offering their organs and flesh would grant them a lifespan]
[However, the final result was obvious; they failed, not gaining a longer life but instead nourishing "it" with their flesh, making it more powerful]
[Fortunately, the last generation of workers found their way back, using the thod of "turning themselves into vengeful spirits" to thwart "its" plan to devour everyone, barely delaying "its" growth]
[Then, ten years passed in a blur]
[In the 1950s, we, the Hamr Vanguard Squad, received an anonymous commission and ca here]
[We explored deeper than the first generation of workers and reached Yangshan Town through the mine tunnels]
[However, by then "it" had already grown formidable; we gradually fell into "its" trap, not only strengthening the organs but also becoming "its" minions]
[This is the complete tiline, and the intelligence I can compile for those who co after]
[...]
[...]
[Ah, one more thing might need to be noted]
[I wonder if you, who co after, have noticed that the entire event tiline has always felt sowhat off...]
Upon seeing this line, Yun You was slightly stunned but quickly understood the Heavy Hamr Vanguard Captain's intentions.
Indeed, after viewing the complete tiline, she always felt that this story lacked so key information.
For instance: Where did the first generation of workers learn of the "Internal Organ Sacrifice" intelligence?
They were just ordinary people, how could they know information that even the Apprentice Death God and rcenaries did not understand?
Secondly, who, exactly, hired the Heavy Hamr Vanguard? If it was just a mine boss, why did he employ anonymously?
Moreover... since the disappearance of the first generation of workers here, over the decades, nearly a thousand people have been trapped by the mine tunnels and Yangshan Town.
Perhaps Nest City doesn't care about the lives of its bottom-tier citizens, but an accident involving thousands should at least attract public attention.
Yet, the fact is, people have never known what happened here, their only perception is that of an "urban legend" about a mine cave that swallowed dozens of people.
Yun You always felt that behind all these events, an invisible hand might be overseeing the whole, manipulating everything.
This was also what the Heavy Hamr Vanguard Captain suspected.
Could that hand be "Black Tiger"?
At first, Yun You did indeed suspect him.
After all, Black Tiger was her enemy, so suspecting him was naturally reasonable.
Moreover, this Apprentice Death God was the big boss of the entire mining district, with so many deaths under his watch, he should know, right?
But thinking it over carefully, Yun You felt he probably wasn't.
Though Black Tiger's title may make him seem old, in reality, the guy is only 29 years old, has been an Apprentice Death God for just 4 years, and has been a mine boss for only a bit over 1 year, making him among the youngest in the Apprentice Death God and mine boss group.
A guy not even 30 years old, having served just 1 year as a Civil Protection Officer, where would he get the ability to plan a sche lasting over 30 years?
Did he start planning at age 1? That's too far-fetched...
Black Tiger, in short, is rely a nouveau riche; his family conditions are average in Nest City Central City, wouldn't have had the qualifications to beco an Apprentice Death God without a stroke of luck.
He's unlikely to have orchestrated it all.
But if it's not him, then who could it be?
Yun You always sensed that the situation was becoming more complicated.
Far more complicated than she initially imagined.
She continued reading the note.
[Hidden Puppet Master]
[This is my speculation regarding the entire matter]
[Behind our backs, there must exist so conspirator controlling the entire situation]
[He must exist, because when we first entered Yangshan Town, we discovered an inconspicuous network signal... Though it's weak, it definitely exists]
[This should be the tool the conspirator uses to communicate with the outside world]
[Ordinarily, the Hamr Vanguard would have tried with all its might to dig him out and make him pay for all the sacrifices!]
[But unfortunately... now we no longer have that ability]
[mories are becoming blurry, and I think my final monts may be approaching]
[I hope these words can help you]
[I implore you, those who co after, do end this filth here, bury the irrational immortality]
[And if you get a chance to et us...]
[Give us one bullet]
[To perish in iron and gunpowder is the ending we deserve]
[Heavy Hamr Vanguard Captain, Shen...]
[Shen...]
[Shen!]
At this point, the captain's writing suddenly beca scrawled, he wrote his surna several tis but could not write out his entire na.
In the end, he could only leave a na not belonging to himself, revealing to those who co after his tragic future.
