I Have an All-Knowing Mirror

Chapter 34: International Manhunt

According to normal objective laws.

Su Yuan's cultivation speed, a cultivation method without any hidden dangers, and infinite potential covering all six dimensions.

Should absolutely not exist on Blue Star.

Even in the depths of the universe, it's almost impossible for such things to appear.

This isn't a problem with the six-dimensional cultivation method.

In the depths of the universe, those massive forces also possess six-dimensional cultivation methods.

But having a six-dimensional cultivation method doesn't mean one can cultivate it, nor does it mean perfect compatibility.

The six-dimensional cultivation method represents infinite potential and perfect evolution, but its cultivation difficulty is also the greatest.

Wanting potential, wanting perfect evolution, and also wanting easy cultivation.

Where could such good fortune be found?Well, Su Yuan currently possesses exactly this kind of good fortune.

"With my current cultivation speed, relying solely on individual strength five years from now, I still won't be able to deal with the alien forces' interstellar colonization ship."

Su Yuan thought to himself.

This was also the answer given by the gray mirror.

Relying on his own individual strength to crush the arriving interstellar colonization ship five years later?

Unless Su Yuan used certain forbidden techniques to accelerate his cultivation speed or enhance his combat power.

Only then could it be achieved.

But there was no need for that.

Using forbidden techniques requires paying a price.

And this was a price Su Yuan didn't want to pay.

Since relying on individual strength wasn't enough to deal with it, then he would utilize external forces.

The foundation of the gray mirror's plan to counter the interstellar colonization ship was precisely this.

First was establishing a force, starting by eliminating the alien forces' lackeys—the Truth Society.

For Su Yuan, the prerequisite for establishing a force was maintaining contact, or being able to contact his subordinates at any time.

This aspect was very important, since Su Yuan would definitely remain behind the scenes, directing his subordinates to handle matters.

Just like when he directed Zhou Yu not long ago—without Su Yuan's constant guidance, even if Zhou Yu had a hundred lives, he would certainly have died in Ten-Thousand-Ravine Snake Valley.

However, the method Su Yuan used to contact and direct Zhou Yu at that time came from Xia Country's communication wireless technology.

Abbreviated as a cell phone.

With Blue Star's current communication wireless technology being too backward, even in places like Snake Valley without other external technological interference, the signal had been lost dozens of times.

If Su Yuan hadn't used the gray mirror to precisely predict when the signal would be lost in advance, thereby reassuring Zhou Yu, the difficulty of executing the plan to obtain the Blood Lingzhi would likely have skyrocketed.

What Su Yuan needed was an absolutely stable communication channel.

At the very least, it should be unimpeded throughout Blue Star currently, without issues like interruptions, lost signals, eavesdropping, and many other problems.

...

Establishing a stable communication channel on Blue Star wasn't difficult for Su Yuan.

The gray mirror had long ago given Su Yuan the answer, even packaging out the relevant technology.

It was alien technology that was at least a hundred years ahead of Blue Star's current communication field.

However, knowing was one thing, implementing it was another.

To replicate it on Blue Star for Su Yuan's use required a specific responsible person, an executor.

This executor had to be a top expert in the current communication wireless field; otherwise, forget about replicating alien technology, even understanding it would be a problem.

It was like primitive people obtaining a lighter—even if they had every component part, they wouldn't know how to replicate it.

...

Regarding this responsible person, this executor, the gray mirror had long ago provided a candidate.

"Qiao Mingyuan, 46 years old, an internationally renowned Chinese expert in the communication wireless field, long-term resident of the country across the ocean. But six months ago, Qiao Mingyuan's wife suddenly disappeared. After multiple investigations, not only did Qiao Mingyuan fail to discover why his wife disappeared, but he also ended up being hunted."

"Under unavoidable circumstances, Qiao Mingyuan could only begin fleeing, and will arrive at Xia Country's South Sea Island in ten minutes..."

Su Yuan's mind flashed with every detail about Qiao Mingyuan.

There were many considerations for choosing Qiao Mingyuan as the responsible person.

First, Qiao Mingyuan's own technical skills were solid, ranking 39th in the world in the communication wireless field.

Qiao Mingyuan didn't know about this ranking, and even the outside world wasn't clear about it. After all, rankings in scientific fields were difficult to determine, and seniority often had to be considered more.

Only the gray mirror could provide absolutely objective and accurate rankings.

...

Second, Qiao Mingyuan had a simple background, being a Chinese expert with no connections within the country, making him easy to control and manage.

Third, the reason for Qiao Mingyuan's wife's disappearance was the Truth Society, and the force hunting Qiao Mingyuan afterward was also the Truth Society.

Qiao Mingyuan's wife met the standard characteristics for the Truth Society's artificial human manufacturing, so she was secretly taken away.

And Qiao Mingyuan, after multiple investigations, was close to uncovering the truth, which led to the Truth Society sending people to hunt him down to silence him.

Simply put, Qiao Mingyuan's enemy was the Truth Society.

And Su Yuan also wanted to deal with the Truth Society.

With aligned goals, Qiao Mingyuan would work more diligently for Su Yuan.

"Artificial humans..."

Su Yuan fell into brief contemplation.

Artificial humans were the most powerful technical means mastered by the Truth Society.

Of course, for Su Yuan, artificial humans weren't much of a secret.

If Su Yuan was willing, he could completely manufacture level 4 artificial humans, level 5 artificial humans, even level 6 artificial humans.

However, manufacturing artificial humans consumed too many resources and required suitable 'carriers.'

The time and resources consumed to manufacture one level 4 artificial human would probably be enough for Su Yuan to cultivate to level 5 life form, level 6 life form.

The Truth Society had controlled the international underground world for decades, even a century, and currently had only manufactured 12 level 4 artificial humans.

A hundred years ago, when they ignited the great war among nations, the Truth Society at that time possessed only 3 level 4 artificial humans.

...

Su Yuan wasn't particularly interested in artificial humans; in the universe, this technology had been obsolete for who knows how many years.

"Time's up."

Su Yuan glanced at the time, took out his phone, and made a call.

...

Southern Xia Country, South Sea Island.

As a major tourist island, South Sea Island had large numbers of tourists entering and leaving daily, with a considerable portion being foreign tourists.

A ship docked, and a middle-aged man disembarked.

This middle-aged man was Qiao Mingyuan. At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, clearly indicating he hadn't slept for several days.

"Why did Anna disappear, and who are the people hunting me?"

Qiao Mingyuan had ten thousand questions in his heart. Half a month ago, he was just about to obtain the surveillance footage from when his wife Anna disappeared.

But before he could get the footage, the friend who was helping him obtain it was shot in the head.

If Qiao Mingyuan hadn't been lucky, he probably would have died then.

Afterward, Qiao Mingyuan contacted his teacher, and with his teacher's help, successfully fled the country. After half a month of escape, he finally arrived at Xia Country's South Sea Island.

His teacher's final advice was that he might be safer in Xia Country.

This was also why Qiao Mingyuan came to Xia Country.

"What's that?"

Just as Qiao Mingyuan felt slightly relaxed, his pupils suddenly contracted sharply.

Not far away, at the exit platform he needed to use, several black men wearing sunglasses were already standing there.

The moment he saw these strong black men, fear surged in Qiao Mingyuan's heart.

"It's them! It's them! They've already chased me to Xia Country!"

Qiao Mingyuan's heart trembled, and without hesitation, he turned around and left.

At the exit, those sunglass-wearing black men also saw Qiao Mingyuan and immediately quickly approached.

"Run! Run! Run!"

Qiao Mingyuan ran around wildly, finally ducking into a restroom.

Hiding in the innermost part of the restroom, Qiao Mingyuan felt utterly hopeless.

He was almost certain that his current hiding spot would be discovered sooner or later.

But besides hiding here, where else could he hide?

Just as Qiao Mingyuan prepared to close his eyes and await death.

A cell phone ringtone sounded.

"Cell phone ringtone?"

Qiao Mingyuan was puzzled. He had lost his phone long ago during his escape to Xia Country; he didn't have one at all.

"Over there?"

Qiao Mingyuan followed the sound and discovered the ringtone came from a phone on the tissue box nearby.

It was probably something someone accidentally left behind, a lost item. Now that it was ringing, perhaps the owner was calling.

Qiao Mingyuan hesitated for a moment, then reached out and picked up the phone.
