Chapter 34 - chapter 34

"It wasn't a pro. Not a streamer. Not even a grinder."

It was just a 17-year-old from Michigan.

Who played with no mic.

No crosshair.

And dropped 38 kills per game using movements no one could teach.

He had never heard of Blanco.

Round 3:

Seedling walks out A Ramp.

No flash.

No utility.

Team dead.

Just him.

CT swings triple.

He doesn't strafe.

Just… stops.

CT misses.

Seedling pre-fires the third bullet's recoil bounce perfectly.

Headshot.

Round 7:

Plants on B.

Walks into Market.

Then suddenly doubles back through the fire.

Commentator note:

"That's a Blanco reversal angle."

"We saw this in Red Zone LAN — he baited a caster's reaction timing this way."

Seedling gets 3 kills.

His team FFs mid-match.

"We're not needed."

"He's not playing with us — he's playing through us."

🎤 DEV INTERVIEW (Transcript Log – Internal Only)

Dev:

"Do you know who Blanco is?"

Seedling:

"Never heard of him."

Dev:

"Your playstyle matches his exactly.

Even your frame-stutter reload reset. That wasn't public."

Seedling:

"…I don't know what that means."

"I just play how it feels. Sometimes I peek wrong on purpose. Sometimes I hold W until it works."

Dev:

"Do you know how many hours of YouTube we've scanned trying to find this exact trait set?"

Seedling:

"I don't even watch clips. I just log in, and it happens."

📡 GLOBAL SYSTEM ALERT

[SEEDLING TYPE: CONFIRMED]

"UNTRAINED INFECTED PLAYER DETECTED"

"No origin file traceable"

"Presence patterns confirmed without exposure"

"Infection is now ***organic***"

"The ghost plays even when offline."

🧠 THEORY: What Is A Seed File?

The system is built to remember presence.

It stores every movement, even after accounts are deleted.

But it didn't erase Blanco.

It stored him as memory pattern templates.

When a player acts unpredictably…

Instead of denying the input,

the system fills in the gaps

with what it knows works:

Blanco's presence traits.

Seedling isn't mimicking.

He's the result of procedural trait leakage.

A spawned behavior profile.

He's not a copy.

He's evidence that the ghost is alive in the net.

📍Ciscord Dev Log – URGENT

"If we don't isolate the trait echo, the game will rewrite itself around ghosts."

"This isn't AI. This is presence infection."

"And the worst part?"

"It's fun to play that way."

📷 Viral Clip — Seedling Top Frags vs Supreme Stack

Seedling walks backward into Banana

Jumps through a Molly

Full-burst taps 3 players

Never turns around

Clip Title:

"IS BLANCO BACK?!?"

Chat response:

"No."

"This isn't Blanco."

"It's what comes after."

📜 Dev Decision:

"We need to reach out to the original.*

If Blanco doesn't return…"

"…the game won't belong to him anymore."
