Take Li Changzhi as an example, this guy went insane after barely speaking a few words, his intelligence plummeted.
But on the day father got into trouble, everything seemed no different from usual.
What's more, Gu Ci'an was a Sixth Rank.
Gu Jianlin didn't believe it; there must be something wrong here. He refused to believe that man would be such a bloodthirsty madman.
He said firmly, "I want to see the detailed accident report."
Taixu replied, "Searching entries, please wait."
Just a second later, the soft and humanized voice sounded again, "Apologies, Reserve Investigator Gu Jianlin, you do not have sufficient permissions to view related events."
Gu Jianlin wiped his face forcefully, feeling deflated.
No wonder Lu Zicheng said earlier that even after joining the Ether Association, one may still not gain full access to the truth.
Evidently, matters about his father were classified as top-level secrets in the Ether Association, inaccessible to ordinary members.
"What level of permission is required to view this?"
Gu Jianlin asked calmly.
Taixu searched briefly again and replied, "Sorry, your permissions are insufficient. This information cannot be disclosed."
Gu Jianlin took a deep breath, as his blood pressure soared uncontrollably.
But he knew that losing his temper would achieve nothing.
After all, the other party was just an artificial intelligence.
Gu Jianlin never expected that after entering the Extraordinary World, the result awaiting him would be this utterly mystifying revelation.
Taixu explained, "Even if Professor Gu Ci'an has fallen, no one could deny his contributions to the Human World. As for these slaughter incidents, you don't need to bear a sense of guilt for them. Some factions within the Ether Association are extremely dissatisfied with your father's actions, especially since he single-handedly disrupted the Qilin Immortal Palace's excavation and survey plans, resulting in large-scale casualties."
She added calmly, "However, the deceased and injured in these incidents were themselves Fallen driven insane by the Immortal Palace's events. Among them were serial killers who had committed multiple murders—death was their deserved fate."
Gu Jianlin pondered for a moment, "This Li Changzhi—is he one of the escaped fish?"
Taixu answered, "Yes, and besides him, there are several other escapees roaming freely. They may pose certain threats to you and your family. The Ether Association had arranged a specialized security team to protect you and your family's safety, but for some unknown reason, those agents suddenly withdrew today."
Gu Jianlin frowned, "Suddenly withdrew? Why?"
Taixu replied, "Sorry, I found no related commands in my directive database."
Gu Jianlin thought to himself that this was truly strange.
So now, Old Gu is gone, but he's left behind such a colossal mess.
And to top it off, some deranged Fallen are now targeting him.
What an unlucky father.
"This concludes the novice tutorial."
Taixu reverted to an official tone, "Next, your personal data will be registered in the database."
Gu Jianlin froze for a moment.
