After the divorce, the CEO's ex-wife deeply regretted her actions.

Su Mu turned around, imported the photos into the computer, and clicked on the symbols on the screen:

"Give me half a day, and I will give you the relevant information."

Chen Yun nodded, his expression remaining completely unchanged:

"Not only the symbols, but also the man's voice in the recording needs to be carefully verified. Let's see if we can trace the true source of this information."

"clear."

Su Mu's tone remained unchanged, but compared to her composure,

The observant Chen Yun still caught the slight furrowing of his brow.

Su Mu's fingers slid rapidly across the keyboard, and the sound of the computer running suddenly added a touch of tension to the laboratory.

While Su Mu was concentrating on debugging and analyzing the algorithm, Chen Yun was not idle either.

He swiped his phone and dialed a series of numbers.

They attempted to use the highlighted personal network of relationships as a starting point to uncover the background figures corresponding to the man in the recording.

"Highlight? I know nothing about this guy."

On the other end of the phone, Gao Liang's colleague made a futile attempt to cover up the truth.

"Stop talking nonsense. You dare say you have no recollection of what we did together back then?" Chen Yun pressed on relentlessly.

However, the other party just chuckled twice:

"I've already signed a commitment letter regarding what I should and shouldn't have said. I'm sorry, there's really nothing I can do to help."

Immediately afterwards, there was a crisp sound of the phone being hung up.

Chen Yun gritted his teeth and dialed the number of the next acquaintance.

"This guy always likes to be secretive. I never dare to ask him what experiments he's doing..."

Once again, they returned empty-handed.

An hour passed, and Chen Yun's fatigue, mixed with a hint of anxiety, gradually spread.

Everyone seemed to be afraid and tight-lipped when Gao Liang was mentioned, and this unanimous rejection and concealment made him feel a sense of oppressive powerlessness.

"These people are like someone holding a knife to their back; they don't dare to even mention them."

Chen Yun couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.

“Perhaps even more terrifying than a knife,” Su Mu suddenly said.

She took off her headphones, and the mouse in her hand hovered over a symbol on the photo.

"You'd better take a look at this—we may have gotten ourselves into trouble with something we shouldn't have."

Su Mu's voice trembled slightly, a rare occurrence for him.

She looked up, her eyes filled with surprise and a hint of coldness.

Chen Yun looked in the direction of the screen and saw that a certain mark on the wall had been clearly enlarged, and a line of small text showing the translation result was prominently displayed in one corner of the screen.

"Elysium Project."

The moment Chen Yun read the words, his gaze sharpened, and even his breath caught in his throat.

Before speaking, Su Mu forced a wry smile: "Don't ask me what I mean."

I don't know either. But it feels very unsettling that the technological methods that used to explain everything are suddenly no longer working.

Chen Yun stared at those letters, taking deep breaths repeatedly.

He had thought he was standing at the heart of a complex web of clues, but now it seemed that it was just the tip of the iceberg that had just been revealed.

“Elysium Project…” Chen Yun murmured the name.

"Let's split up," he said, looking at Su Mu.

Su Mu nodded; she understood Chen Yun's concerns.

Based solely on the clues we currently have, it's like trying to see through a fog; we must approach it from different angles to have a chance of clearing away the fog.

"I'm in charge of investigating Gao Liang's network of connections, especially the institutions and conglomerates that have financial dealings with him."

Chen Yun squinted.

“The research direction and funding sources highlighted by Gao Liang are inevitably related to this ‘Elysium Project’.”

Su Mu tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "I'll try to hack into their servers and see if I can find more information about this project."

The two quickly devised their own action plans, and a tense atmosphere filled the laboratory.

Chen Yun began contacting his "all-powerful" friends, trying to piece together Gao Liang's secret from the smallest clues.

"Old Chen, why are you asking about this Gao Liang? This guy is no pushover."

A slightly hesitant voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Stop talking nonsense, just say what you know." Chen Yun said impatiently.

"I heard... he seems to be cooperating with some mysterious conglomerate. I don't know exactly which conglomerate it is, but I do know that the things they research are very strange."

"Strange? How so?" Chen Yun pressed.

"Well... I wouldn't dare to say anything recklessly. In short, be careful and don't get yourself into trouble."

The other party hung up the phone abruptly after speaking.

Chen Yun contacted several of Gao Liang's former colleagues and partners, but the information he received was ambiguous, filled with fear and evasiveness.

They were very secretive about their research on high brightness, as if they had some unspeakable secret.

Meanwhile, Su Mu was engaged in a silent battle with a heavily guarded server.

Lines of code flashed rapidly before her eyes in the virtual world.

She moved through the torrent of data like a ghost.

The target server's defense system was exceptionally strong, and Su Mu's several attempts to infiltrate it all ended in failure.

She bit her lip, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Damn it!" Su Mu cursed under his breath, his fingers tapping the keyboard even faster.

Finally, she found a breakthrough and successfully infiltrated the core area of ​​the server by exploiting a tiny system vulnerability.

However, just as she was about to download the critical data, an alarm suddenly went off.

"No, I was discovered!"

Su Mu's heart tightened, and he immediately activated the emergency procedure.

A small section of encrypted file was downloaded, and then the connection was quickly cut off.

Almost at the same time she disconnected, the tracking program located her.

If she hadn't reacted quickly, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"These guys' technical skills should not be underestimated."

Su Mu took a deep breath, her face somewhat pale.

The two met at the agreed location and exchanged their investigation results.

“I found a member of Gao Liang’s early research team, and he revealed that ‘Project Elysium’ may involve a research direction called ‘Reconstruction of Human Consciousness’.” Chen Yun said with a solemn expression.

Su Mu handed the downloaded encrypted file to Chen Yun:

"This is something I stole from the server. The content still needs to be decrypted, but judging from the file type, it is very likely related to some kind of experimental data."

"Reconstruction of human consciousness..."

Chen Yun repeatedly pondered these words, feeling a chill run down his spine.

The word itself carries an unsettling connotation.

After some effort, Su Mu finally cracked the encrypted file.

The document contains a series of complex experimental data and charts.

The brainwave changes of certain experimental subjects after receiving a certain stimulus were recorded.

"These data... look like some kind of mind control experiment."

Su Mu pointed to the charts on the screen, her voice trembling slightly.

Chen Yun's expression grew even more somber. They began piecing together the fragments of information they currently possessed.

The outline of the “Elysium Project” gradually became clear, and a chilling scene appeared before the two of them.

This project appears to aim to achieve this through some kind of technological means.

Intervening in and modifying human consciousness could even lead to control over human thought.
