Chapter 717: âComplicated Conspiracyâ
Maybe the bosses of those victims also didnât know the reason why their peopleâs energy cores just exploded at one time, and thatâs why no one mentioned the ECD virus.
But those who used the virus to defeat their enemies should know about the virusâs existence, right?
Or maybeâŠmaybe the Omniscient Keepers deleted the buyersâ memories after the buyers used the virus on their enemies?
Ainsley blurted out her hypothesis to the Godfather and the rest, and the group couldnât help but sink in silence.
[This is possible. The Keepers might have someone who can erase memories, or they create memory-erasing potions.]
The Godfather agreed with Ainsleyâs words, but Cellino, who heard Ainsleyâs explanation, couldnât help but ask.
[But master, why do they need to erase the buyersâ memories about the virus? They sell the virusâŠso shouldnât they hope there will be repeat buyers, awooo?]
Ainsley immediately shook her head.
[No. I think they sell the virus, not for the sake of profit. Getting money is just one of their goalsâŠbut I think they use the buyers as their experiment subject?]
[âŠexperiment subjectâŠto test the virusâ reactions and effects?] The Godfatherâs voice became a lot colder than before when he mentioned the experiment subject.
He actually thought that the Keepers would really do thatâŠ
[Wait, Godfather, thereâs still one point that I really donât understand. This is not about the experiment subjectâ ]
Ainsley hadnât finished her words when the Godfather interjected.
[What is it? What things you donât understand?]
[Itâs like thisâŠIf they can make such a dangerous virus, they can easily spread it around, and many countries might collapse because of it. Why didnât they spread the virus?]
The Keepers sounded like a terrorist organisation, ah. But itâs weird that they didnât spread the virus around!
The Godfather pondered for a while before shaking his head.
[The Keepersâ goal isnât to conquer the world or something. Their name is clearly keepers. They believe that they are protecting somethingâŠwhich is the world itself.]
Ainsley almost bit her tongue at the Godfatherâs answer.
What? Theyâre not a terrorist group? Theyâre actually the world police or the world guardians?! Fckâ canât understand! No!
[What keepersâŠwhy do they need to protect the world when itâs perfectly fine? There havenât been any big wars lately. There wonât be a world invasion by aliens or something tooâŠ]
After all, Ainsley didnât believe that this world had an access to another world except through the fairy of space, Chronosâ lil crush.
Itâs not like this is an interstellar world, ah?
But the Godfather only showed a bitter smile to Ainsley.
[Obviously, what they think of as threats to the world are something like usâŠpeople from another world.]
It wasnât uncommon to say that otherworldly people often excelled in some fields and became too outstanding that they might break the worldâs balance.
At the same time, there would be suspicious Ability Users from time to time who had a uniquely unique ability that could threaten the world.
Maybe thatâs why the Keepers developed that virus to weed potential threats from time to time.
If thatâs the case, they must have known where their virus would be used, and thatâs why they approached the potential buyersâŠ
Wait. If thatâs the case since the Keepers approached Paul before the second round against the Sloan family startedâŠdoes it mean the KeepersâŠwanted to harm someone in the Sloan Family?
Ainsley, the Godfather, and even Zev, somehow reached the same conclusion by just staring into each otherâs eyes.
When they tried to investigate which person the Keepers deemed as a threatâŠAinsley suddenly bit her lips, and her face paled.
[âŠis it because of me? My luck manipulation abilityâŠfirst, they harm my soul and restrict my luck manipulation ability. Next, they want to kill me indirectlyâŠ]
The Keepers werenât that dumb to target Ainsley openly again. Anyway, since they already knew her identity from the previous interaction, they targeted Ainsley in the dark.
No, they targeted her family instead because it would be the same as targeting Ainsley.
Ainsley broke in a cold sweat.
[T-the virus will kill those who hadnât split their cores into many coresâŠIâŠI fit that criteria.]
SoâŠit seems that the virus thingyâŠwas actually a part of a big conspiracy?!
Ainsley already felt her mind spinning around.
She didnât know why the Keepers were so obsessed with her that after damaging her soul with special bullets, they also tried to detonate her energy coreâŠ
Whatâs with these lunatics?!
Clearly, the Godfather was also shocked upon discovering this point.
They were just thinking about the cure and unexpectedly uncovered such a big conspiracy.
[This generationâs Keepers are clearly more creative and sly compared to those in this lordâs generation. This generationâs Keepers are a tougher opponent compared to their predecessors.]
The Godfather kneaded his temple and felt that the Keepers were really annoying, mysterious, yet powerful.
No other mysterious forces actually tried to destroy this organisation, all because the Keepers only focused on âtroublemakersâ that they thought of as a threat to the world.
Since they knew the existence of transmigrators, it became even more complicated. They were obsessed with getting the transmigratorsâ souls, studying them, etc.
Maybe they even thought of a way to prevent more transmigrators from accidentally entering their world.
The Godfather felt like the trouble had been going out of hands, so he coughed and tried to shift the conversation back to the ECD virusâ cure.
[Okay, okay, letâs put those matters aside. For now, focus on the cureâŠletâs not hope that we can get the cure from the Keepers.]
Thereâs no way those people would give us the cure!
