458: Chapter 458 Complete Power

But by this time, a full twenty years had already passed.

Lilian was teleported to a small town a hundred miles away, where she was found and adopted by a kind, elderly couple.

The old couple named her Lilian and raised her.

Twenty years later, the consciousnesses of Locke and Hilofy were drifting through the network, trying to find traces of their daughter.

But they only had image data of Lilian when she was three months old; they simply couldn't match that to a grown girl.

They could only monitor various information on the network, searching for possible clues.

If they saw a girl who had undergone an Awakening of a special precognitive ability, they would investigate;

If they heard news about orphans searching for their families, they would also pay attention;

However, hope after hope was met with disappointment after disappointment—

Until—one hour ago!

The power Lilian displayed during the battle in the Southern Territory was captured by surveillance equipment around the globe.

Although her appearance had changed drastically since infancy, certain fundamental characteristics caught the attention of a data consciousness within the network.

The consciousnesses of Locke and Hilofy quickly retrieved the combat footage to perform a deep analysis and match.

"Similarity 78%—no, 83%—it's still rising!"

"Spiritual power spectrum analysis, the degree of match with the child's theoretical model..."

"The characteristics of her precognitive ability are consistent with our research predictions—"

"It's her—it must be her!"

After complex algorithmic comparisons.

This pair of parents, who had been drifting in the network for twenty-six years, finally had over ninety percent certainty!

The girl fighting beside Chen Yi was their long-lost daughter—Lilian Kevin.

Thus, this phone call happened.

—

Chen Yi finished reading all the content in the file and remained silent for a long time.

The laboratory explosion, the digitization and upload of consciousness, drifting in the network for twenty-six years to find their daughter—all of this sounded like a plot from a science fiction novel.

But for some reason, Chen Yi felt it was highly credible.

More importantly, many details in the file matched Lilian's situation perfectly.

"Lilian's Bloodline is indeed that of the Baize, and she can indeed only see fragments of the future occasionally."

Chen Yi spoke slowly, saying into the phone, "But how can you prove that you are Locke Kevin? And not some force using this information to deceive me?"

The mechanical voice on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then said: "I know Lilian has a birthmark on the back of her left thigh, shaped like a four-leaf clover. She had it since she was born, and we joked at the time that it was a symbol of luck."

Lilian's body trembled, and she subconsciously touched her own thigh.

This birthmark of hers was something Black Rose had accidentally discovered when she and Lilian were establishing their contract with Chen Yi.

If not for that position—anyway, normally, it definitely wouldn't have been discovered!

Chen Yi sighed and continued to ask: "Then, you contacted me, not just to reunite with your daughter, right?"

"Of course! You should have noticed it, right? Her Baize Bloodline is not complete; her precognitive ability is hit-or-miss, right?"

"So what if it is? Do you know the reason?"

"Yes! After all, this is a Bloodline discrepancy caused by her not being fully guided when she was a child!"

Chen Yi frowned: "You're saying a portion of her power was extracted from her and never returned?"

"Yes!"

Locke affirmed, "At the time, we were giving Lilian a comprehensive physical examination and extracted a small portion of her Origin power for deep analysis. But when the attack happened, that power sample was still in the centrifuge, and we didn't have time to process it. After the laboratory explosion, that sample tube should still be in some safe storage device in the ruins!"

Chen Yi's eyes lit up: "You mean, as long as we retrieve that blood sample and let Lilian reabsorb it, she can activate her complete Baize Bloodline?"

"Theoretically, yes! That sample contains the Origin power from when Lilian was born; it is the key to activating her complete Bloodline!"

"As long as she can reabsorb it, she should be able to completely undergo an Awakening of all the Baize's abilities—predicting the future anytime, anywhere, instead of just occasional fragments!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi was stunned.

If Lilian could fully master the precognitive ability, it would be a huge help for them in confronting ZERO!

Being able to see through the fog of the future and know ZERO's layouts and plans in advance—this was simply a strategic advantage!

"Where is that sample?"

Chen Yi asked directly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yi's phone received another text message.

After opening it, it was a specific coordinate located in a desolate hilly area within Eagle Country.

At this moment, Locke's voice had switched to a female voice; it must be Hilofy.

"This is the site of the research institute from back then."

"After twenty-six years of explosions and the erosion of time, the surface buildings are completely gone, but the three underground levels should still have some structures preserved!"

"The sample tube is in the safe storage cabinet of the main laboratory on the second underground level. The cabinet is made of special explosion-proof and radiation-proof Materials, so it should still be intact."

"However, Eagle Country is now under ZERO's sphere of influence."

"According to information we obtained through network monitoring, there have been abnormal energy fluctuations in that area recently!"

"ZERO seems to have set up some kind of barrier there; we don't know what its specific purpose is! If you are going, you must be careful!"

"I understand."

Chen Yi nodded, "Thank you for the information!"

Locke: "No, we are the ones who should be saying thank you!"

Hilofy: "Thank you—for protecting our daughter! Although we are now just data consciousnesses and cannot accompany her as her parents, knowing she is doing well and has someone to protect her, we are—already very satisfied."

Lilian was already a teary mess, shouting into the phone: "Dad—Daddy—Mom—is that you?"

After a long while, Locke's voice sounded again.

"Lilian—my daughter—I'm sorry, Daddy and Mommy weren't able to protect you well—"

"No—don't say that—"

Lilian wept uncontrollably, "I know you must have done it to protect me—I don't blame you—I have never blamed you—"

Chen Yi pulled Lilian into his arms and gently patted her back.

The other The girls also gathered around, their eyes filled with sympathy and emotion.

Who could have thought that Lilian's experience was actually this tragic—

"We will go and retrieve that sample."

Chen Yi promised into the phone, "And let Lilian restore her complete Bloodline power!"

"I'm counting on you, Chen Yi!"

Locke said solemnly, "Also—please tell Lilian that we will always love her! Although we can no longer hug her, our consciousnesses will always exist in the network, guarding her!"

After this sentence was spoken, the phone hung up.

The coordinates of the laboratory ruins were already deeply imprinted in Chen Yi's mind.

It was time to settle things with the past!
