SIATOWITF Chapter 47
by VolareChapter 47: The Past of the NHE Association and the Seventh Bureau: Get the Prophet Out Here…
“The Seventh Bureau was originally a non-governmental organization led by three scientists. They firmly believed that there were higher intelligent beings other than humans in this world, and were committed to exploring all strange and bizarre events to prove it.”
“I don’t know what they specifically researched at that time, but it seems that they achieved some small results that attracted the attention of many parties.”
Lin Mo brought up a file and pushed the computer towards Ji Mo An.
The photo on the screen was in black and white, and it looked like it was taken from a newspaper. The four people on it were slightly blurred, but you could barely make out three men and one woman.
“Standing on the far right is the old chief of the military at the time, and the three on the right are the three founders.”
“It can be understood as being co-opted during the Republic of China period and exceptionally incorporated into the National Revolutionary Army. Later, they surrendered to our party, and after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, they became a regular army directly dispatched by the Central Committee, renamed the Central Supernatural Event Management Center Seventh Bureau.”
“And then?” Ji Mo An looked at the three people carefully, and suddenly felt that the woman standing at the head looked familiar.
“Do you remember those Star-Moon creatures?” Lin Mo continued, “Although Star-Moon creatures come and go without a trace, they seem to be easily injured.”
“Although the Seventh Bureau could not obtain other photos and videos of the Star-Moon creatures, they did find traces they left behind.”
“XY009 was the first Star-Moon creature to have its body tissue fragments extracted. She first appeared in a coastal fishing village thirty years ago, in the form of a long-haired woman with horns on her head and wearing a white dress. When the Seventh Bureau personnel arrived at the scene, 009 had already disappeared, but the local villagers provided a 20-centimeter-long white horn-like object and a piece of blood-stained cloth.”
“After research and comparison, the researchers determined that these two items did indeed belong to that Star-Moon creature.”
“Later, as Star-Moon creatures continued to appear in human society, the Seventh Bureau collected more and more tissue fragments.”
“What did you do with those tissue fragments…” A thought suddenly flashed through Ji Mo An’s mind.
“Not us, Mr. Ji. That was thirty years ago.” Lin Mo made a small correction.
“At that time, one of the three founders of the Seventh Bureau had already passed away, leaving two. They gathered hundreds of researchers to study and experiment with the tissue fragments. In a living mouse experiment, they accidentally discovered that a mouse fused with the Star-Moon creature’s body fragments spat out flames.”
“And the corresponding file shows that those tissues belonged to XY026, which was photographed as a fireball.”
“That was the beginning of all disasters.” Lin Mo sighed.
“The experimental subjects changed from mice to rabbits to experimental dogs, and finally became experimental apes. Mr. Ji, you should be able to guess the next experimental subjects, right?”
“Human experimentation…” Ji Mo An did guess it.
“Yes.” Lin Mo nodded, “At that time, three candidates were recruited to voluntarily participate in the experiment, and the results were a great success. The three experimental subjects, who should have died of serious illnesses, not only quickly recovered their health, but also gained abilities beyond ordinary people, which are now called superpowers.”
“The disagreement started at this time. Faced with a 100% success rate, the two founders had different goals. One hoped to study superpowers and continue this ability, while the other founder hoped to remove superpowers and only retain the effect of restoring people’s health.”
“Wait a minute. Thirty years ago, although I wasn’t born yet.” Ji Mo An rubbed his eyebrows, “Still doing human experiments?”
“Not allowed.” Lin Mo shook his head, “The three subjects were actually people from the research institute who knew about the experiment and belonged to… self-sacrifice.”
“The founder who did not want to retain superpowers was named Jing Xiuzhi, who is the grandmother of Bureau Chief Jing Junze. She believed that if superpowers were allowed to spread, it would undoubtedly disrupt the current social system and even cause disaster. She even had the idea of closing the experiment altogether.”
“But the other one did not agree. After the dispute, Ms. Jing Xiuzhi resolutely reported to the state, expressing her views. After multi-party talks, the state determined that the experiment should indeed be terminated.”
“…”
“Wouldn’t the other party have defected… and then found some black market to continue the experiment?” Ji Mo An inexplicably thought of the online novels his sister read.
“Yes.” Lin Mo nodded slightly, “And did something big before defecting. He led several researchers who were biased towards him and kidnapped the children of the Seventh Bureau’s family compound, injecting them with Star-Moon creature extract.”
“This matter was quickly exposed, and the Seventh Bureau quickly responded, but… only rescued most of the children.”
“Fortunately, all the rescued children gained abilities and were not injured. Under the strict supervision and indoctrination of the Seventh Bureau, they did not go astray. Although they possessed powerful strength, they were willing to remain anonymous and stay in the Seventh Bureau for life.”
“But there were still a few children who were not rescued.”
“The traitor escaped with some Star-Moon creature fragments and the children who could not be rescued, establishing his own organization called the NHE Association. Over the years, in addition to monitoring Star-Moon creatures, the Seventh Bureau has been constantly observing the movements of the NHE Association.”
“But the NHE Association built its bases in scattered locations on the deserted sea and in the mountains, which do not belong to our country’s territory, so it is extremely difficult to track them down, not to mention… they have been constantly creating new experimental subjects.”
“They captured Xuan Bai…” Ji Mo An bit his lip lightly.
“Yes.” A dark color flashed in Lin Mo’s eyes, “The situation is even worse now, and it may not even be a capture.”
“The NHE Association colludes with the foreign joint forces and is becoming more and more presumptuous, even carrying out human experiments on a large scale.”
“Based on a 100% experimental success rate, thirty years is enough to turn everyone into ability users.” Ji Mo An frowned slightly.
“No, their experiments are not that smooth. Although they are both founders, the core technology is still in the hands of Ms. Jing Xiuzhi.”
“Now Ms. Jing Xiuzhi and most of the researchers of that year have passed away. She summarized all the information about Star-Moon creatures and submitted it, becoming a top-secret file that will never be opened. Since then, the Seventh Bureau has no longer studied those things.”
“Mr. Ji, from the six years I joined the Seventh Bureau until now, everyone has been racing against the NHE Association, collecting the body fragments left by the Star-Moon creatures as much as possible before them and storing them in the general bureau’s vault. So… everyone values you and the Alien Serpent even more.”
“Six years, not only the Seventh Bureau, the NHE Association has also been staring at you all the time, but all of this has been blocked by us. But after the appearance of the Alien Serpent, the speed of their probing and attacking has greatly increased, so we had to strike first on the cruise ship.”
“In our opinion, the NHE Association and Star-Moon are both enemies. It’s just that the NHE Association is the current enemy, while the threat of Star-Moon is still immeasurable. Perhaps one day, the file will be restarted, which is the only weapon Ms. Jing Xiuzhi left us.”
Lin Mo sighed with a wry smile, “Perhaps, it will also become a time bomb.”
“Yangji once told you that we had a concrete concept of Star-Moon twelve years ago.”
“The Prophet and the Reborn.” Ji Mo An still remembered these two names.
“Yes. The Prophet… this name came from the NHE Association. He claimed to be a deity from Star-Moon, and that the tissue fragments of those Star-Moon creatures were all divine gifts.”
“And the Reborn was a teenager who had been confirmed dead for three days who was resurrected. He said a paragraph and died again. All that was sent to us was an audio recording.”
“He said that he was a human from countless centuries later, and that creatures from another world descended on his hometown along with the apocalypse. Star-Moon tattoos are their only mark. He was reborn into the body of a dead person to give us warnings from the past. Because they already know our world.”
“Mr. Ji, the descent of the Star-Moon creatures is likely to be a test. They are now stealing dead souls and guiding experiments. In the future…” Lin Mo clenched his fist, “In the future, it will bring disaster.”
“…”
“Is there anything else?”
After a moment of silence, Ji Mo An continued the topic.
“That’s all.” Lin Mo shook his head, “We don’t know much about the Prophet, we only know that after he appeared, the number of ability users created by the NHE Association has increased sharply, accompanied by severe physical deformities. The Prophet is our enemy, Mr. Ji, he and the Alien Serpent… after all, they have the same origin.”
“What if… Star-Moon doesn’t want to harm humans?” Ji Mo An tentatively asked.
“We didn’t imagine this possibility. They did steal human souls, the Prophet guided the NHE Association to create countless deformed experimental subjects, the Alien Serpent caused your car accident, and the Reborn said that they descended with the apocalypse.”
“Mr. Ji, we can’t find any reason to prove that Star-Moon is friendly to us. We even… suspect that those body tissues were also deliberately left by them.”
“Even the words you said in your coma were full of anger and pain.”
“Give me some time to think.” Ji Mo An didn’t say anything else.
“Of course.” Lin Mo stood up, “Mr. Ji, the computer will stay with you for now, but please don’t let anyone see the information inside.”
“Okay.”
“Then… Lin Mo won’t bother you anymore.” Lin Mo bowed slightly, “Tomorrow morning, the new bodyguard will contact you.”
……
“Hug hug~” After Lin Mo left, “Little Snake slowly climbed onto the table and shook its tail as if it didn’t care.
Ji Mo An looked at it, feeling complicated.
“Did you hear that? They can’t find any reason to prove your friendliness.” He sighed and gently pinched the tip of the snake’s tail.
“Guo guo, da da.” Xuan Bai tilted his head and tried to hook Ji Mo An with his tail.
“It’s useless to tell me about the pot.” Ji Mo An held the whole snake in his palm, “Thirty years, the conclusions of thirty years can’t be explained in two sentences.”
“Xuan Bai, I believe you. That’s why I let you listen to this together.”
“Bad guys, experimenting on the snake’s companions.” The snake instantly became teary-eyed.
“…” Ji Mo An couldn’t refute it.
There are too many intertwined factors here. How can something an organization has been researching for decades be explained in one or two sentences?
“But we will handle it.” The snake suddenly raised its head and gently rubbed Ji Mo An’s finger.
“We?”
“Yes, we.” The snake leaned back slightly, “If we don’t come forward again, we will really be crushed to death by the pot. Although we don’t care about these things, it doesn’t mean they can use us for experiments.”
“Brother, I can come, and naturally my companions can come too. I can’t say, but someone can say. It seems that cold treatment has no good results.”
“This is not a bad thing, it can even be said to be a pleasant surprise.” The snake slowly coiled around a few times, burying its head in its body, leaving only a pair of round eyes.
“■■ will end everything before a greater accident comes. Then everything will return to normal and continue to move forward according to His timeline.”
“Now, the snake is going to sleep.” As soon as the voice fell, the last golden pupil also sank into the dark snake body.

Xuan Bai’s consciousness returned to the isolated island thousands of miles away.
He sat up from the operating table without warning, scaring the doctor who was sewing himself so much that he fell directly from the chair.
“Um… that…” The doctor trembled, holding a 20-centimeter-long sewing needle, and began to ooze green water again.
“What’s wrong?” Su Nai swished down from the air, still holding undissolved pills in his mouth.
It was a very wonderful feeling, the star totem on his neck suddenly became hot, it was a call from the snake.
“Prophet.” Xuan Bai ground his sharp fangs.
He said why the decoration of this ghostly place was so familiar, like returning to his old home. It turned out that it was really built by his old family.
Traitors… Star-Moon, how come he didn’t know that his family’s name had become Star-Moon.
“Let him get out here and see me.” The snake smashed the operating table, and the alloy table surface shattered.
