Mystery: She came from the Chaos Sea

Chapter 140 "Savior" Russell Gustav
"Philip, isn't the paper on starch-based plastics complete yet?"

Silently retracting his ambiguous glance with a female researcher, Russell felt the pressure of being caught by a teacher with unfinished homework when he was questioned by the man in a simple white robe.

He wanted to say something joking, but facing Grisha's sincere and trusting gaze, Russell finally said: "Chief Grisha, I'm working on it and it will be done soon."

Looking at the figure disappearing in front of the laboratory door, Russell scratched his chestnut curly hair, and caught a glimpse of his new female companion who had returned to her work. He sighed, went into the laboratory that belonged to her alone, and started typing his unfinished paper on the typewriter.

Here, he was a highly anticipated second-in-command researcher, even bearing the title of "the chief challenger who becomes more courageous with each setback"...

But Russell, also known as Huang Tao, who considers himself a "time traveler", only feels that his life is truly miserable.

Huang Tao felt truly unlucky when he landed on Russell Gustav, who had been murdered by his brothers. But then he realized that his soul being transported to a dead person was quite consistent with the tropes of novels about traveling to other worlds...

With this in mind, Russell planned to use his outstanding vision that transcended his time to expose his half-brother's extremely hypocritical and ugly tricks and avenge his original self.

And then, using the Gustav family as a springboard, while making great strides in this virtual game-like alien world—

But suddenly he encountered a girl wearing a monocle.

The other person had a very delicate and lovely appearance, but the moment Russell saw the girl, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. His whole body was so stiff that he couldn't even move a finger, as if he was locked by an invisible and powerful force.

It was at this critical moment that Russell met his personal grandfather.

It was a faceless old man formed by a mass of information flow.

The moment the old man suddenly appeared, he pulled him into strands of transparent and illusory information streams, and wrapped him up in his own torrent of information, escaping from the pursuit of the girl with the monocle.

But no matter how he tried to escape afterwards, the sense of crisis that was like a thorn in his back was like a thorn in his flesh, and it kept haunting Russell.

It wasn't until the old man made him drink a potion called "Universal" that he gained a cheat-like enhancement and memory recovery, and the sense of crisis that had lingered for a long time finally dissipated from Russell's inspiration.

This old grandfather who called himself "Sage" gave him a lot of guidance and help in the following days, leading him step by step into the field of mysterious knowledge.

At the same time, Russell gradually realized that this strange world filled with the atmosphere of medieval Western fantasy was at an important node of technological change.

Relying on the knowledge from modern Earth in his mind, Russell has come up with many novel inventions.

On the one hand, these inventions accelerated the digestion of the potion in his body, and on the other hand, made his reputation as a genius spread in the surrounding area.

However, immersed in his joy, Russell was unaware that whenever he advanced in Sequence, the ears of the Low-Sequencers on the same path would quietly echo the dreamlike whispers of the "Hidden Sage"...

Russell, who thinks he is the protagonist.

When he got rid of the threat posed by the girl with the monocle and became a respected master mechanic in his city-state under the name "Adolf";
While he was indulging in the gentle pleasures that came with fame, he was also researching steam engines, hoping to bring a little bit of technological excitement to the world.
A steam car with a heavy shape like a wild beast was pulled to his city for display.

It was at that time that Russell heard the name "Grisha".

Afterwards, the differential engine, gunpowder, synthetic materials, mechanics, electromagnetic theory... one technological achievement after another that spanned the ages came like a surging wave, leaving Russell completely numb.

However, after learning about the evil gods of this world who were using their divine power to restrict humans from exploring the sky and treating humans as "birds in a cage", this was a despicable act.

The grand goal of "kick down the false god and save the world" emerged in Russell's mind again.

After founding the "Moss Ascetic Order" with a group of like-minded partners, Russell suddenly wanted to try to contact and win over Grisha, who was suspected to be a "traveler"...

Hermione came to the city-state of Gilstorf and the Gustav family. Unaware of anyone else, she found the younger brother who murdered Russell Gustav, a simple, honest, and slightly plump young man.

“Amon…” Hermione noticed the shadow that was parasitic on the young man.

The young man calmly put on his monocle. His originally honest face softened instantly, taking on a touch of girlish cuteness. He said in a brisk yet surprised tone, "Mother, how did you find yourself here?"

"Are you chasing Roselle Gustav?" Hermione asked directly.

"Mother, you've noticed that person too." Amon smiled and said slowly, "That person exudes the aura of Sefirah Castle."

Hearing the information revealed in Amon's words, Hermione deduced, "Did you make some attempt on Sefirah Castle, leading to the appearance of Roselle Gustav?"

"Not just one, but many attempts..." Amon responded frankly, without any concealment: "I didn't expect a spirit to fall out of 'Source Castle'."

Hermione asked, "Can you locate the exact location where the spirit landed after leaving Sefirah Castle?"

"Yes." Amon's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he smiled playfully, "Moreover, when I came to this family in pursuit of that spirit, I actually felt the authority of the 'Beacon of Destiny' here."

"It's as if Sefirah Castle is designating the landing location for that spirit."

Beacon of Destiny... After hearing this, Hermione thought of many things at once, which was why Huang Tao had to possess Russell Gustav.

In this way, if Zhou Mingrui in "Source Castle" was released, he would inevitably possess the young man named "Klein Moretti".

Hermione continued to ask, "Where is Russell Gustav now?"

Amon sighed softly, "I don't know either, Mother."

Hermione couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Didn't you stop him?"

"I saw that spirit possessing Russell Gustav..." Amon paused, then continued:

"But I'm following my mother's instructions and not parasitizing humans easily. I'm a very good person. Except for creatures that show obvious hostility towards me, I rarely parasitize other creatures deeply."

There was nothing false in Amon's words; He had indeed restrained His parasitic behavior.

However, the number of his giant and demon wolf clones is still considerable.

Moreover, in the process of pursuing Jacob, He parasitized and robbed all of Jacob's clones and identities. Now, all of Jacob's family active in human society are Amon's clones.

Hermione asked doubtfully, "Even if he wasn't parasitic, would it be difficult for Russell Gustav to escape from you?"

"It was a weird guy who could transform into an information stream who snatched him away from me." Amon curled his lips and sighed somewhat unwillingly:
"Later, that Russell Gustav chose a path that was incompatible with Sefirah Castle, and I completely lost track of him."

Amon raised his head, looked at Hermione, and asked, "Mother, you should know the guy called 'Hidden Sage', right?"
