36 -32: Zhuyan Yu’s Doubts_1

Zhuyan Yu was born in 2009 and was a prodigy since childhood.

Hence, at a young age, she swiftly completed her studies and, with excellent results, entered the newly established Otherworld Research Center, becoming the youngest researcher there at the time.

In 2025, she followed the research center to the Otherworld as the youngest researcher in the team.

In the Otherworld, Zhuyan Yu was fascinated by the charm of magic and decided to dedicate her entire life to the study of it.

However, this trip led to irreversible physical damage due to her excessive exposure to magic.

In 2028, Zhuyan Yu, as the youngest magic researcher, joined the Origin Project.

In the newly established Breeding Research Center, she met Luo’er, the strikingly beautiful half-elf, for the first time.

Back then, Luo’er was just six years old, clinging to Wang Xu and shyly observing his unfamiliar surroundings.

His emerald-green eyes were irresistible.

It was there that Luo’er was handed over to the researchers, helpless despite the despair in his beautiful eyes.

She did not know Luo’er’s name, nor his relationship with Luo Qishan.

The only person accompanying Luo’er was Wang Xu, his only support, who also served as a security guard.

Luo Qishan, Luo Chuan, Luo’er!

What exactly happened in the second Otherworld war led by the United Nations military thirty years ago?

What is their relationship with each other?

These mysteries puzzled the prodigy who had always been curious since childhood.

To delve deeper into the Origin Project, Zhuyan Yu decided to join the military. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Due to her outstanding contributions to the military, she has risen to the rank of lieutenant colonel to this day.

Also, owing to her unique role in the project, the military granted her a level one authorization, typically only given to generals.

Once approved, she will be able to access the top-secret information of the project, where she should be able to find out about Luo’er’s background.

“Teacher Zhu!” Even though he noticed Zhuyan Yu was gazing at him a bit frightfully, Luo’er still politely greeted her.

“Congratulations!” Zhuyan Yu said with a smile.

Despite her efforts to show goodwill, it seemed to Luo’er that she was still an untouchable stranger.

How to get him to accept her goodwill was a rather tricky problem for Zhuyan Yu.

Although she couldn’t extract much information from her several attempts at pestering Wang Xu, she still managed to learn some of the taboos about Luo’er, such as never to mention his grandfather in front of him.

Zhuyan Yu observed Luo’er.

According to the descriptions given by Wang Xu and the information she had, Luo’er was approaching adulthood.

Yet, he still looked like a middle school student, showing no signs of aging.

Zhuyan Yu had compared photos of Luo’er and Luo Chuan and found they didn’t resemble each other much.

Luo Chuan had the typical appearance of a southern Han, while Luo’er had a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets, characteristic of foreigners.

Furthermore, he was exceptionally handsome.

If it weren’t for his jet-black hair, he would look exactly like an elf from the literary works created by the people of the Earth.

Luo’er was a bit uncomfortable with Zhuyan Yu staring at him, and he instinctively took a step back, subtly hiding behind Hu Daoke.

Noticing Luo’er’s move, Zhuyan Yu snapped back to reality.

She apologized with a smile, “I apologize for being so lost in thought.

Tomorrow is your final competition, so you must give it your all and don’t lose at the last moment.”

“Teacher, teacher!” Tangmo said anxiously, hopping up and down, “In our competition, how am I doing with my magic?”

“Of course, you’re doing great.

But this is only a computer simulation, to truly use magic, you have to be in the Otherworld.

So, keep up the good work!”, Zhuyan Yu said while patting her on the head.

She had unique feelings for Tangmo, as she was one of the witnesses present at her birth.

It gave her a motherly feeling to watch this child, who was a beacon of hope for the academy, grow up, even though she was unmarried to this day.

“Teacher, if there’s nothing else, we’ll go and rest!” Luo’er felt uncomfortable in front of Zhuyan Yu, so he found an excuse to leave with everyone.

“Luo’er…” Watching their retreating backs, Zhuyan Yu frowned involuntarily.

She slowly returned to the staff dormitory, closed the door, and turned on her personal computer.

“Open the Origin Project file archives!” she commanded her computer’s AI.

“Initiating area lockdown…” the AI’s voice came from the computer.

Subsequently, all exits to her room were locked and sound-proofed.

“Area lockdown complete, archives opening…”

“Applicant: Zhuyan Yu, Lieutenant Colonel, level one archive authorization confirmed, archives opening complete!” The screen flickered, and the Ministry of Defense’s entire archive about the project appeared before Zhuyan Yu.

“Target search: Luo Chuan!” said Zhuyan Yu.

She wasn’t worried about her voice being picked up from outside, as the AI had entirely isolated her room.

“Search completed!” The computer quickly found information about Luo Chuan.

Before she got level one authorization, this information was completely classified.

Zhuyan Yu opened the file, and after some research, she finally solved her doubts.

It turns out that Luo Chuan, who had participated in the second Otherworld war, had not died in action but disappeared.

In Luo Chuan’s self-statement in the file, after the Otherworld army attacked their position, he did not die in the battle.

While the Otherworld army continued to pursue them, he and an Elf fell into an isolated canyon to avoid the threat of the battlefield.

They lived in the canyon for six years, during which time they had a son, Luo’er.

However, Luo Chuan’s health deteriorated, so the Elf allowed him to return to Earth with his child.

However, according to the file, Luo Chuan died of multiple organ failure less than a year after his return to Earth.

Another document published by the Otherworld Research Center showed that Luo Chuan had suffered from Magic Power Erosion, leading to severe and irreversible organ failure.

“I see!” Zhuyan Yu nodded, realizing Luo Chuan did not die directly in the Otherworld war as officially reported.

He survived for a few years after the war, encountered an Elf, and fathered a half-elf child.

According to the file, the return of Luo Chuan and Luo’er was kept a highly classified secret.

The Ministry of Defense was interested in Luo’er, the mixed-race Elf, hoping to research him.

However, Luo Qishan, the then military commander, disagreed with turning Luo’er over.

After Luo Chuan’s death, Luo Qishan proposed the Origin Project, using Luo’er as a sample for hybrid human research.

The Ministry of Defense was very interested and approved the experimental research.

Finally, after Tangmo was born, the Ministry of Defense officially recognized and launched the Origin Project, began investing naval funds into it.

“Luo Qishan probably wanted to protect Luo’er and didn’t want to hand him over to the Ministry of Defense.

Rather than let the Ministry take him away for research, it would be better to study Luo’er under his own supervision.

So Luo Qishan proposed the Origin Project…” Zhuyan Yu mumbled to herself, her brows furrowed.

Zhuyan Yu understood the root of the conflict between Luo Qishan and Luo’er.

As a soldier, Luo Qishan could not keep Luo’er safe forever.

Faced with the Ministry of Defense’s requirements, he eventually had to make a compromising plan, which was to let his team conduct research on Luo’er, keeping him under close watch.

Luo’er didn’t know Luo Qishan’s thoughts or perhaps he refused to accept the truth.

Therefore, obstinately believed that Luo Qishan had sold him out for his own position.

If Luo’er was the result of Luo Chuan’s union with an Elf, then who was Luo’er’s mother?

With this question in mind, Zhuyan Yu started searching in the file database, but she found no information about Luo’er’s mother.

“Target search: Luo’er’s mother!” Zhuyan Yu instructed the AI.

“Search completed!” The AI quickly completed the search.

However, even the powerful AI search only found some fragments of description.

According to the records, Luo’er’s mother should be a Wood Elf, but her age, identity, and even her name were not recorded.

There was only a portrait drawn by the AI based on Luo’er’s description.

The woman in the picture fits the characteristics of a Wood Elf, with delicate and three-dimensional features, gentle beauty, and fair skin.

Zhuyan Yu compared the image of Luo’er’s mother with Luo’er and found a striking resemblance.

Hence, it can be basically determined that she is Luo’er’s mother.

But unlike Luo’er, she has very distinctive light-colored long hair, completely different from Luo’er’s black hair.

Zhuyan Yu asked the AI to compare the photos of Luo’er, Luo Chuan, and the suspected Luo’er’s mother.

She found that Luo’er had entirely inherited his mother’s appearance and features.

The only features he got from his father were the typical black hair.

In the process of breeding hybrids, they found that the maternal gene had a more noticeable influence on the child.

For example, according to level one authorization files, Tangmo’s paternal gene came from Otherworld people, while his maternal gene came from the Yellow Race.

The result was that, apart from his slightly fairer skin, Tangmo’s appearance leaned more towards the Yellow Race.

For those whose maternal gene came from the Otherworld, their appearance leaned more towards Otherworld people, and a typical representative of this was Luo’er.

“So that’s why Luo’er so badly wants to go to the Otherworld.

He’s looking for his mother!” Zhuyan Yu murmured thoughtfully, facing the glowing screen.

She enlarged the portrait with her finger, looking at the photo of the woman who might be Luo’er’s mother, lost in thought.

Could Elves really live for a long time?

If so, even if Luo Chuan hadn’t been affected by the magic power erosion, they wouldn’t have been able to stay together in the end!

The combination of Earth humans and Otherworld people was a tragedy itself.

Neither of them could live permanently in the other’s world.

They could only keep switching between the two worlds.

However, the irreversible erosion might eventually cause one party to leave first, making it impossible for them to be together in the end.

If Luo’er’s parents knew this outcome, what would they choose?
