Puppet...Puppet!
Upon seeing this familiar word, Yun You felt a surge in her heart and quickly opened the Information Reconnaissance Chip, searching for the keyword Puppet.
[Puppet (人偶), full na "Emotion Complete Removal Bio-Reford Human," inventor unknown, first appeared publicly in 2043, completed technical iteration in 2050, minimal changes since, generally held by Apprentice Death Gods, expensive to produce]
"2043...the tiline matches."
Yun You looked back at the letter with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
It’s now almost certain that the Puppet, sothing of utmost importance to the Death God, yet fundantally detrintal, originated from Jin’s brother, Elrond Akas.
He personally opened this "Pandora’s Box," leading to the suffering of at least over a billion innocent children over the decades.
Such blood debt might have been unimaginable for Akas at the ti...
However, as he ntioned, the situation is beyond his control now.
With the Death God Organization directly intervening, he probably lost the power to refuse, forced to serve the organization, creating more Puppets.
The next letter also confird Yun You’s thoughts.
[December 2041]
[To Brother Elrond Gold]
[Apologies, Brother, I haven’t been able to write to you these past months]
[My mood is quite complex right now, part joy, part sorrow]
[Brother, do you rember what I said in my last letter? My original intent in creating Puppets was to make ordinary people stronger, to allow children without natural talent to beco strong through this thod and find their place in the world, not to turn them into emotionless machines]
[I’ve been thinking of ways to restore their emotions, or simply design an "emotional valve," one that closes during battles and opens when fighting is unnecessary, which would be ideal]
[Last month, I made so progress on this... Although part of the Puppet’s brain is removed, losing certain emotional perception ability, through specialized devices and surgery, perhaps they can regain their emotions]
[Also, I believe that future surgeries could incorporate this device, not only preserving the Puppet’s emotions but also enhancing survivability rates from the original one-in-ten-thousand to several tens of a percent]
[I believe with a few more iterations, the Puppet reformation procedure could beco ordinary bio-reformation technology, without exaggerated mortality rates, giving every child the opportunity to beco strong]
[The technology and theory are feasible, but...]
[The proposal was submitted only to be rejected by the Death God Organization]
[I misconceived them from the start, assuming they would indulge in unrestricted experintation, only to realize my mistake now]
[The Death God Organization never cared about survival rates or restructuring efficiency; they deed the first generation Puppets sufficiently perfect, not needing emotional assistants, only obedient tools]
[They even demanded the complete destruction of new technology data, forbidding further teachings to others...]
[I attempted subtle maneuvers, trying to preserve the technology or convey it to peers, but failed, haha... I should have known, with the Death God’s perception ability so strong, every breath and heartbeat under their surveillance, any thoughts detected]
[Luckily, the Death Gods rely beat without killing... Perhaps they still value the technology in my head]
[No choice, I can only morize the technology, but as you know, the human brain isn’t as effective as a computer hard drive, even if I exert all effort to rember, I can only capture key fragnts imprinted deeply in my mind]
[Brother... I truly wish not to work for the Death God Organization anymore, but I have no choice... Father and Mother are in their hands, my newlywed wife A’ling and her unborn child, all detained]
[If I refuse to comply, they won’t survive]
[Ah... apologies, Brother, these matters I shouldn’t disclose, yet my stress is overwhelming, with no other outlet but to vent in letters to you, as these letters... remain unmonitored and uninvestigated]
[Still, I repeat, Brother, don’t co back ho, nor attempt to intervene. The Death God Organization has issued a global warrant for you, take care of yourselves...]
[Ever adoring you, Akas]
...
Following this letter, the communications dwindled, and the tiline abruptly jumped several years ahead, indicating significant events during this period.
Yun You thought for a bit, then logged into the Ethereum Network, searching "Elrond Clan," "Elrond Gold," and "Death God Organization" as keywords.
Soon, she found the information she sought in a post on an underground forum.
[Mid-2042, the Elrond Clan experienced a "fire accident," the flas consuming the entire clan and its industries, with rescue personnel arriving finding no survivors at the scene, only dozens of scorched bodies]
