The young researcher had traded his life for a glimmer of hope against the mother.
However, most of the people who received the message remained unmoved.
They had probably been coerced by important figures and had tied their lives and futures to the spirit magnet long ago. No matter what happened, they would never give up their research on the spirit magnet. Not to mention, it would harm their research.
If not, they had been living together with the mother, and unknowingly, their minds had been infiltrated. As such, they became willing puppets and ghosts...
Or, they were afraid of the pressure from the big shots and mother Yuan, and they were afraid of ending up like the little researcher.
Or, they were greedy for the enjoyment of the hope, and they would rather live a carefree life in an illusory paradise than be exiled to the surface of the hope to face the real Turan civilization, that hellish scene.
