- Mutation of cats (soft cartilage).
- Mutation of cockroaches (immortal).
- Mutation of fish (burrowing through sand).
- The hypothetical blueprint for these mutations — worms.
- The existence of underwater people, confirmed by Ruan Xiwen’s reaction.
- The possibility that Su Ying might be an underwater person. Since I first learned about the underwater people from Su Ying, and now the information has been verified, I had to reconsider Su Ying’s situation. Whether what she said was true or false was yet to be determined, but the possibility couldn’t be entirely dismissed. There was no way to know if Su Ying was directly involved in the event.
The core of the event: the archaeological excavation of the Yuan Dynasty’s water gate at Zhidan Yuan. I could now believe that everything stemmed from this, which was now beyond doubt. Then there’s Ruan Xiwen, cloaked as a freelance archaeologist, representing the X Agency in this event. I had to confirm the highly likely hypothesis I had formed: worms were the blueprint for these mutations. Thus, I drew arrows from cats, cockroaches, and fish pointing to worms, indicating the mutation blueprint. However, the archaeological site, underwater people, and other elements seemed unrelated, making it impossible to understand the essence of the event. At this point, I was certain this was the most challenging case I had encountered, with the most seemingly unrelated and chaotic clues. To link them all together was an impossible task.
