Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyou raised an eyebrow.
Oh, the doctor is a romantic, this is the classic "I'd sacrifice the world for my lover" trope, she could almost guess the next plot direction.
She temporarily put aside her thoughts and turned the diary to the next page.
"January 29, 1377"
"Is that fireworks outside?"
"It seems today is a very important festival for them. I saw so many people taking to the streets, their faces radiating joyful and festive smiles."
"Through various coincidences, the train stopped at Jiulong Harbor City. For this city, many of us on the train have vague impressions, only knowing it's a gigantic mobile city, so large that it leaves a colorful mark on satellite maps."
"With a permanent population of four hundred and fifty million, the fragile ecological self-circulating system on the Saint Pusel seems like a toddler in comparison. It's so... so astounding that I cannot describe it in words."
"It is mysterious, beautiful, intellectual, like a queen from the distant East. When it sails from afar, its shadow covers the sky, and we see only a magnificent mountain range from legends."
"~Hundred beauties, hundred mourns..."
"~Traveling in and out, grand scale dance moves..."
"~Changes of dragons and fishes..."
"The Holy Lord worries about the populace, stops the balcony~"
"Spring breeze and courtyard paintings are always open~"
"Completely eliminating the shadows of dragon and fish gas~"
"Can't help but co rabbits and birds..."
"We sat on the boat, sailing along the canal to the busiest downtown. Our host, the great Jiazi family, was very enthusiastic. After rounds of drinks, the helmsman began to recite poetry. Is this their ancient traditional folk ballad?"
"The night in Jiulong Harbor City is incredibly bustling, with lights and decorations everywhere. On the stage, graceful and slender perforrs twist their waists, flinging their water sleeves, revealing enchanting eyes between fan feathers, yet without losing masculinity. Glittering jewels and multicolored neon lights set against jade-railings buildings and the peddlers by the waterways. Honestly, I've never seen this kind of... human touch in any city on the New Federation's map. This word, circling around, finally one day manifests in my mind truly."
"The Jiulong People warmly entertained us. Is this not another great encounter of civilization? At this mont, the only thought remaining in my heart."
"If Lina could see this scene, it would be nice."
"January 31, 1377"
"The experint was very successful."
"Just as I thought, I extracted an unknown substance from the Red Chestnut Flower toxin. I nad it Red Thorn Substance. It can hasten the cellular tabolism, precisely because of its existence, the surviving youth in the tribe obtain superhuman physiques."
"I first experinted on animals. The first batch of white mice did not show ideal results, most displayed strong aggressiveness and eventually died because they couldn't withstand immune destruction, bleeding from all orifices, but one survived."
"I nad it 'Alpha'. Alpha showed high cognitive ability towards objects, even solving math problems of seven or eight-year-old children. This substance prompted Alpha's evolution, a small cage can no longer contain this lovely creature."
"If I can develop an antidote for the Red Thorn Substance, I can surely save Lina."
The subsequent diary contents were lengthy, mostly consisting of the doctor's notes over several years of research. She locked herself in a sunless laboratory, almost falling into obsessive madness for her lover.
Conducting continuous experints on rodents and primates among other animals, the experints showed initial success until one day, the Tredy Comrcial Alliance discovered the doctor's actions and learned everything about the Red Thorn Substance by certain ans.
"1380? Month? Day"
"How long have they held here? I can't rember."
"My experintal results are completely destroyed."
"Everything is over."
"No, I cannot let such a terrifying thing fall into the hands of the Tredy Comrcial Alliance!"
"Lina, I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I love you."
"The deeper I delve into the research of this substance, the more chilling I feel. This virus is too terrifying; infected creatures exhibit strong aggressiveness and infectiveness, a Devil hiding behind it, capable of destroying civilization. I am a Sword Holder of a civilization, I must end all this before everything gets worse!"
...
"I voluntarily joined the research institute of the Tredy Comrcial Alliance."
...
"I killed all their scientific mbers!"
...
"I destroyed all existing research equipnt!"
...
"I annihilated all research data!"
...
"I destroyed all signal transmission devices on the train, implanted erroneous virus codes into its logic system, so it will endlessly travel, triggering defense Power alerts near any civilized city, ensuring its destruction!"
"I annihilated myself; when I tried to annihilate humanity, they found Lina in the freezer capsule and used it to threaten , forcing to serve them."
"I cannot annihilate love; it transcends ti and space, conquering all the noble and sordid aspects of humanity."
"They want to use Red Thorn Substance for human experintation, intending to turn it into a biological weapon, sparking wars to expand the Tredy Comrcial Alliance's influence worldwide."
"Forgive the last frenzy of a Sword Holder."
"I conducted the final experint on myself."
"I survived; my body generated antibodies, bestowing superhuman Power."
"Due to their mistake, the plague broke out on the train, and I successfully escaped. They publicly blad for everything; I oscillate between gain and loss, searching ceaselessly among thousands of paths for the perfect balance, striving not to let everything collapse!"
"I..."
...
"I..."
...
"Who?"
...
The contents of the diary began to unravel, each subsequent page filled with crimson, self-questioning, mad, and nonsensical fragnted words.
The diary flipped rapidly, the vast amount of information roaring, raging, pouring the long-oppressed madness between the words into Xu Xiaoyou's mind.
Flipping faster, flipping faster, like wildly flying rose petals, until the last page!
"August 29, 1497!"
"Lina, Lina, Lina..."
"I kept silently chanting this na in my heart, carving the pen tip into my flesh, just not to forget."
"I will end all this, preventing civilization from heading towards destruction!"
"I will find you, take you away from here!"
"Player number OE3604 main quest has changed."
"Main quest 1: Across-Ti Love unlocked!"
"Main quest 2: Sword Holder of Dawn Civilization unlocked!"
"Player's exploration of the instance background story has reached 75%, instance plot analysis has been added to the notebook, accessible anyti!"
"Player OE3604 built immunity, negative status 'Red Thorn Secret Poison' lifted."
Thunder roared in Xu Xiaoyou's mind.
Only then did she realize this diary spanned a century.
The doctor was not the initiator of the train disaster.
Due to the virus's side effects, she intermittently lost her mory, relying on the fragnted information of this notebook over a century to find herself, searching for a path forward amid countless crises and gaps, falling into an endless huge cycle.
The mbers of the Tredy Comrcial Alliance and the Dawn Resistance Army constantly iterated over the century, with one leader replacing another. Besides them, another overlooked and forgotten by the world, a scientific scholar hoping to practice Godly deeds with a mortal body, engaged in the struggle.
Everyone believed he was the crisis's creator. Thus, the doctor bore the heavy shackles of evil, walking alone on a thorn-covered path, just to save her lover and bring a better future for
——civilization.
