Where is the third collapse? ! !

As his isotope from another time and space, Ella is also good at this.

Seeing that it was this surgeon, Rita was visibly relieved.

"Then it's up to you."

She closed her eyes again, her thoughts quickly blurring under the influence of the anesthetic.

"Ah, right."

As if she had just remembered something, Ella, who was putting on sterile gloves, spoke up, "Honkai energy is a kind of energy with some idealistic properties. Even if something unexpected happens during the transplant surgery, as long as you have firm faith, it is not impossible to summon a miracle."

"What... do you mean?"

"To put it simply, I hope you can establish a belief."

Ella said: "It's not a concept like 'fighting for all the good in the world'. It's hard for you to believe that with your complex personality and experience. But it is a more direct, more naked and more specific anchor."

"A desire that will make you struggle to the death even when you have fallen to the bottom of the abyss and see no hope. A desire that will never give up even if your bones are being crushed one by one."

She concluded: "Gluttony, greed, jealousy, pride, even anger are all fine. As long as it allows you to grit your teeth and call upon the idealistic nature of Honkai energy, with its help, the Lost Rosemary will have a high probability of successful fusion."

Rita was silent for a while, her voice as thin as a thread:

"Lust..."

"what?"

"Is lust... okay?"

"no problem."

Ella nodded.

"I understand."

The girl closed her eyes, and the two figures that were most important to her slowly emerged in her mind.

——It’s extremely strong, involving the desires of those two people.

——Then, after all, this is it!

Rita stepped forward and, in front of the blonde Valkyrie, maliciously hugged the handsome boy who was a head taller than her.

Standing on tiptoe, I whispered in his ear:

[After the operation is successful, I will invite you to Ms. Youlandel's home while she is away at work.]

[After dinner, I want to take a bath with you, Master Fuli.]

[After taking a shower, I want to have sex with you in Lady Yulandel's bedroom, on her bed.]

[I will make you feel several times more comfortable than when you were with Lady Youlandel, and I will also respond to you with moans several times louder than Lady Youlandel's.]

【That’s the agreement!】

……

Chapter 24: "The Immortal is on his way!"

After two days and one night of flight, and after completing various formalities, Hyperion finally docked in Kazakhstan, just a few kilometers from the border of Shenzhou Tianjiang Autonomous Region.

At this time, it seems very wise to register with the natural disaster prevention agency under the United Nations. Without this legal identity, even if the Stan countries in Central Asia have a makeshift team, they will not allow an unfamiliar aerospace warship to roam in their airspace.

Fu Li on the sofa was playing with Bronya's twin turbo out of boredom. The little girl who was playing games with her head resting on his knees was not annoyed. From time to time, she cast a smug look at Kiana who was biting her handkerchief in the corner with an envious look on her face.

The sister route is as steady as a rock!

I can have countless girlfriends in the future, but I only have one sister, Bronya!

The electric door leading into the bridge opened silently, and Mei and Kallen, floating beside her, stepped into the room.

Probably because she thought that an AI without even a body could not compete with her for a man, and Miss Saint was the host of the Life Equation, the ultimate product created by Virtual Otto, Mei had always had a good relationship with her.

However, the girl's gloomy face made Fu Li doubt this conclusion, and he wondered if they had some conflict.

“It’s not a contradiction.”

Judging her stupid brother's thoughts from his expression, Kallen, holding her head, whistled: "It's not me who made Mei angry."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Bao immediately began to reflect on whether he had gotten into trouble recently.

———I’ve been through so many that I can’t even count them all, hahaha!

"I'm sorry, Mei! I won't do it again!"

"?"

The girl glanced at the white-haired ball of 'Red Bean Mud Smith Marseille' in front of her in confusion. After a moment's hesitation, she continued, "It's good that you've reflected on it."

She had a lot of work on hand and didn't know what Kiana had done in the past two days, but it was always a good thing that this guy was willing to reflect on himself.

How despicable, Miss Mei!

"Everyone, take a look at this."

Baby's Miss Mei handed over three copies of the information. The ducks took them and looked at them. After a while, they understood the reason for the girl's unhappiness.

Lei Dian Long Ma's commission was to ask Hyperion to cooperate with his old acquaintance, Dr. Zhou from Tianjiang, to investigate the truth about the legendary Kanas Lake monster.

This information not only contains the other party's contact information and meeting place, but also some information related to the lake monster.

The issue is--

"A hundred meters?!"

Fu Li put down the documents and said with a look of 'are you kidding me?': "Isn't this Dr. Zhou really writing a fantasy novel?"

Kanas Lake, the deepest moraine-dammed lake in China, is located in the extreme north of Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang Autonomous Region. It is known as one of the most beautiful lakes in China and is known as the "paradise on earth and the garden of God."

The lake has three major wonders. The first is the kilometer-long dead wood embankment, which is formed when the driftwood in the lake is blown upstream by the strong valley wind and piled up on the upper reaches of the lake; the second is the giant water monster in the lake, which often drags horses drinking water by the lake into the water, adding a bit of mystery to the Kanas area; the third is the wonder that can only be seen after the rain - the Buddha's light in the Kanas sea of ​​clouds.

It was the second item that Dr. Zhou was commissioned to investigate. However, according to the information provided by the doctor, the Kanas Lake Monster is a terrifying fish creature that is over 100 meters long and weighs 300-500 tons!

It’s not that there aren’t similar things in the Honkai world. Many lower-level Honkai beasts that require a team of A-level Valkyries to defeat and suppress are only slightly larger than this scale.

But Kanas Lake is not the deep-water monster like Lake Baikal. It has a total area of ​​45.73 square kilometers, an average water depth of 120 meters, and the deepest point is only 188.5 meters.

In 2007, it was approved as a national 5A tourist attraction by the China National Tourism Administration, with an annual tourist flow of nearly two million.

If the lake monster is really a hundred meters long, not to mention whether Kanas Lake can satisfy its three meals a day, given its size, it would be strange if it could hide with so many people staring at it!

Besides, the Shenzhou officials are not as useless as the Daiying Senate. If a monster of this size really appeared in the country and was out of control, they would have captured it in minutes and turned it into a beautiful legend!

Fu Li had reason to think so. The information Mei brought did indeed state that the Chinese government had sent an investigation team to Kanas Lake.

That’s right, it’s the large-scale popular science program “Approaching Science” that the young people born in the 00s may not have heard of, but many old people born in the 80s and 90s still remember clearly.

After some investigation, the investigation team finally attributed the rumors of the lake monster to a large carnivorous fish, the Taimen salmon, with an adult body length of about 2 meters, and then the matter was dropped.

"I think the results of this investigation are quite clear." Kallen shook her pigtails. "Two meters long and with a ferocious carnivorous nature, from the perspective of an ordinary person, this is already a deadly threat."

For the Valkyries who often fight with Honkai beasts that are tens or hundreds of meters in size, this little guy, who is only as tall as a Shandong onion, may not be a big deal; but in the eyes of ordinary people, this underwater giant that can be as tall as a two-story building when standing upright, weighs more than 200 kilograms and has a mouth full of steel teeth, is a 30-70 chance of winning if it doesn't carry any weapons.

They have three people, but I am just celebrating the seventh day.

Well, getting ashore is another matter.

"Bronya noticed something."

Yaya put down the controller and said lazily, "The information says that the 'Approaching Science' episode that mentioned the Kanas Lake Monster was organized by Dr. Zhou, who claimed to have witnessed the lake monster. After the program ended, he rose through the ranks and is now the deputy director of the Tianjiang Autonomous Region Environmental Protection Research Institute."

Fu Li's eyes twitched slightly: "You mean, deliberately stirring up trouble?"

"Generally speaking, if the culprit can't be found, the primary beneficiary is the most likely suspect." Karen's eyes flashed with data. "While the conditions of Kanas Lake itself cannot be ignored, the rumors of the lake monster do add a lot of legendary color to it, attracting many tourists."

"So, that doctor hired the production team to amplify a story that was originally limited to the local community, in order to boost the local—er, tourism economy?" Kiana scratched her head. "Could it be that he simply misjudged the giant fish swimming underwater and exaggerated it?"

"The level of one's vision determines one's attitude toward the unknown. Those with low vision tend to exaggerate everything they've seen." Mei closed the book. "I don't think a scholar who has become deputy director of a research institute, published over 160 papers, and contributed to the writing of more than 10 monographs, would have such high expectations and low skills."

The fact is, even though the program "Approaching Science" has ended, this person still promotes the existence of lake monsters on many occasions, and often argues with other guests on the screen.

"Of course, I personally don't think his hype is a bad thing," Mei continued. "Bongo, despite his top domestic and foreign policy skills, was also a deeply corrupt official. Kerekoo, despite his selfless dedication to public service, was a complete mess in his governance. Everyone mocked Yumi Xiaofucai, but no one questioned his faith. Salazar, whose morality rivaled that of a saint, was an extreme conservative. These examples are enough to prove that a person's ability and morality are not positively correlated. Regardless of what that doctor did, he boosted the local economy and lifted many people out of poverty."

"I don't think that's right," the righteous Saint objected. "'Rumors are wrong'—that's basic common sense. I don't think that after a rumor is exposed, trying to justify it by saying 'although the facts are inaccurate, the original intention was to spread positive energy' is enough. It's as if simply labeling a rumor as positive energy can negate the harm it causes."

"That's right." Fu Li nodded vigorously. "For example, those who spread the rumor that Qian Sen had applied for American citizenship obviously thought that Mr. Qian was going to apply like them."

Bronya glanced at him and thought that if she couldn't keep up with the debate, she could learn from Bronya and be quiet. What she was saying was totally irrelevant.

She averted her gaze and gently kicked Kiana's calf: "If you have something to say, just say it. You have been hesitant to speak since just now. You are not like an idiot Kiana at all."

"Exactly, that." Qi Bao blinked. "I'm wondering if Dr. Zhou genuinely believes the official Shenzhou investigation is unreasonable, and that's why he's even bothered to post a task on the dark web seeking help. After all, even if he wanted to score a second goal and stir up the topic again, he shouldn't be asking people like us who have little influence in the real world, but rather someone like the news media who can spread the word more widely, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the four of them looking at her with extremely shocked eyes. She couldn't help but stamp her feet and scolded, "I have to use my brain sometimes! When it comes to everyone's safety, even I will think seriously!"

Mei retracted her gaze and coughed softly. "Perhaps this has something to do with the 'Honkai Openness' process that Shenzhou has been planning in recent years."

In the second decade of the 21st century, many countries, not just China, but also the European Union and North America, are actually considering whether to partially disclose the existence of Honkai.

There is no other reason, I just can’t hide it anymore.

The 21st century is the information age. The earth today is no longer like the ancient times where transportation was inconvenient. The world is completely different every few dozen or hundreds of miles.

The existence of the Internet has greatly accelerated the exchange of information. Whether it is Honkai beasts and dead soldiers, various natural disasters and supernatural events, supernatural events are frequently witnessed by people. No matter how they are regulated, there will always be some that slip through the net, not to mention cases such as the Destiny Floating Island and the aerospace battleship, which are simply impossible to achieve with modern conventional technology.

Furthermore, due to the fact that collapse and civilization coexist, the more developed the city, the higher the probability of accidents. This kind of disaster that appears around us at all times cannot be concealed just because you want to.

Besides that, many officials and high-ranking officials are tired of taking the blame for the damage caused by Honkai.

If the collapse is not made public, the losses caused will fall on them. Not only will they be criticized by netizens and local people, but even if the higher-ups know that the problem does not lie with their subordinates, they will have to take measures to quell public anger.

If he could really seize the opportunity and completely disclose the existence of Honkai under the pretext of discovering the truth about the lake monster, the traffic would not only be overwhelming, but Dr. Zhou would also have a very prominent place in history books.

"But I admit that it's unfair to infer this incident as hype based on just one piece of information." Mei, sitting in her chair, raised her black stockings and thighs. "Therefore, I hope everyone will treat this client, whom you've never met, with the same attitude as you would a normal mission."

"Also, considering the possible needs and unexpected events during the mission, I have equipped everyone with basic support during their field work."

'Snapped! '

She snapped her fingers, and several cat cakes jumped and brought something to the table.

"This is a life card made from everyone's hair and fingernails. If you lose contact, you can at least know the approximate location of your companions. This is an EMP grenade. Throwing it will be very effective when encountering mecha-type enemies like Titans. This is Alpha Gel. When applied to a head wound and activated, it will rapidly expand and enter the brain tissue to replace blood supply, preserving brain tissue activity to a great extent. This is a memory-erasing smoke created by Yuan's memory eraser. Once broken, it can erase the physiological memory of an ordinary person for a period of time. This is a mass-produced Soul Gathering Ring. It is not very stable at the moment and can only store the Honkai energy equivalent to that of a B-rank Valkyrie. And this is corpse powder—"

"Corpse powder?!"

Mei's mother's thoughtfulness not only touched Fuqiya and the other two, but also frightened them with what she said.

"When you're out and about, you're bound to find yourself in situations where you have to kill someone." The girl picked up a vial of pale yellow powder and tossed it up and down nonchalantly. "This stuff produces a violent corrosive reaction when it comes into contact with blood, dissolving everything it touches into a pool of tasteless yellow water."

By the way, after drying the yellow water, it can form new corpse powder, which is very convenient for multiple uses.

However, seeing the three of them huddled together and shivering, Mei's mother decided not to be so blunt with her children. After all, Chaodensha could produce as many of these things as needed.

The key is the effect. These things are new models whose samples have just been produced.

For example, the improved version of the MEI brand healing spray was reformulated based on the lessons learned from Bronya's last treatment of Alan.

Considering that it is best to familiarize yourself with the effects of healing drugs in advance if conditions permit, Fu Li put his fingers together to form a sword. The crystal blue shadow sword condensed at his fingertips and cut through the skin with a little force.

"Little sister! Quick!"

He signaled Bronya to hurry up, otherwise the wound would heal on its own if she didn't spray it.

The girl puffed up her cheeks, a little dissatisfied with the name, but still pressed the spray valve of the bottled therapeutic spray.

"Puff!"

The sound of liquid splashing echoed in the empty bridge. Bronya was startled and thought to herself that she didn't press that hard.

She looked towards the voice and saw it was Kiana.

Compared to Fu Li's cautiousness, this idiot just slashed his wrist with the knife. Now he was staring at the bleeding part of Gaga in a daze, looking like a lunatic.

Noticing that everyone's attention was focused on him, he rubbed the back of his head with his good hand and chuckled, "Ari, Meiyi, look, isn't the treatment more effective this way?"

A sickly aura came towards him, and Fu Li shuddered with fear.

But he immediately came to his senses and said unyieldingly, "Just a mere Qizi, don't think you can defeat me like this!"
