Collapse Simulator: Raging at the Imaginary Tree

Chapter 272: On the Pirate Ship

After the fifth collapse, Mei, with the support of Ling and Mebius, and with the help of K-series clones, secretly cleared the obstacles for her.

Mei quickly became the most popular successor to the leadership within the Fire Moth. Unless something unexpected happened, the next step was basically a sure thing.

This clash is not just a clash between successors to the leadership, but also a clash between conservatives and reformists.

If May becomes the leader of the Fire Moths, it also means that the reformists will take power in the future. At that time, the constraints and restrictions of Mebius's experiments will be greatly relaxed, all for the survival of mankind.

After dissecting Subject 7325, Ling discovered that the extent of her body damage was beyond her imagination. After asking Kevin, she learned that the Herrscher of Ice had already died when they arrived.

This made Ling curious about who had defeated the Ice Ruler.

Ling sent K-series clones to investigate and found that the people in that place seemed to have the habit of sacrificial offerings.

"A man fell from the sky. He wore a terrifying mask, but possessed terrifying power capable of fighting against Honkai Beasts."

"After the initial shock, the villagers worshipped him as a god, tied him to a cross, slit his wrists, and drank his blood, hoping to gain the god's blessing and cure the terminal illness called 'Honkai Disease'."

There are only a few short sentences in the record of that mysterious man, but this is the only clue that could lead to the killing of the Herrscher of Ice.

After on-site monitoring by the K-series clones, it was found that there was indeed a place similar to a sacrificial site. The dry land exuded rich Honkai energy, giving birth to many Honkai beasts.

The land is dark red, most likely stained by the blood of that "god".

The land was sent to Ai Yi for testing, and it was exactly as Ling expected.

"Let the K-series clones continue tracking. If the target is found, do not act rashly." Ling ordered.

"Yes." Ai responded.

Being able to give birth to Honkai beasts with just blood... in human form, perhaps... this is also a direction of human evolution?

He had also heard that when the blood of some powerful Judgment-level Honkai beasts flowed out, it would be accompanied by a rich Honkai energy reaction, but this was the first time he saw this on a human.

Or is that existence not human?

After arranging everything, Ling continued to busy himself with other things.

I heard that Mebius is working on something called the "Stigmata Project" recently, so let's go check it out.

Ling walked out of the laboratory. The dazzling sunlight made him feel a little dazzled. Maybe it was because he had not left the laboratory for too long, and he actually missed the warmth of the sunlight.

Sure enough, although air conditioning is a good thing, it will still make you feel a little disgusted after using it for a long time.

Not far from Ling's laboratory is Mebius's laboratory. Although Ling resolutely chose to separate from Mebius at that time, the two were only a few hundred meters apart, and it would take only a few steps to get there.

When we arrived at Mobius' laboratory, the army originally stationed there had disappeared. It seemed that the conservatives were already overwhelmed.

The thermal sensor automatically opened the door, revealing the laboratory.

"Klein, are you working overtime again?"

"Yes...Dr. Ling, I'll go call Dr. Mobius right now..."

Klein raised his head, and the dark circles under his eyes almost drooped to the ground.

Shortly after the third collapse, Blanka was tricked into being away by a warrior named Scar and gave birth to a child.

Klein was recommended to Mebius by Blanca. She is more focused than Blanca, and even... obedient.

However, Klein's talent ceiling is not as high as Blanca's before.

As for why it was in the past and not now.

Blanca now has a family. When weighing between the laboratory and her family, Blanca chose her family.

Given Mobius's stubborn personality, it's easy to imagine where he'll go astray.

So that day she got drunk and came to Ling's laboratory in a daze.

He kept shouting things like 'Everyone is leaving me', 'Dad too, Ling too, and now Blanca too', and so on.

After getting drunk, Mebius was like a little girl venting her dissatisfaction, just like before, so Mebius had never changed, but just hid himself with a pretended mature appearance.

Klein gradually became a panacea in Mebius' heart, although Mebius did deliberately make things difficult for her at the beginning.

But Klein worked hard until she fainted from hypoglycemia due to continuous overtime work to meet Mebius's targets. Only then did Mebius begin to trust her.

Klein's parents both died of Honkai disease. She has immense respect and even heartfelt admiration for the two people who created the Honkai disease serum.

"No need, just take a good rest, I'll go find her." Ling waved her hand.

"Oh, by the way, Dr. Mei is here too." Klein reminded after suddenly remembering something after sitting down.

"Okay, I understand." Ling nodded and walked into the laboratory.

Ignoring the sign on the laboratory that read "No Ling or Dogs Allowed," he pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as he entered, a bullet flew past Ling's cheek, leaving a wound.

"Is this the welcome ceremony? It's really unique." Ling couldn't help but complain.

"Who told you to come in without knocking?" Mebius glared at him.

"Sorry, Dr. Ling, I didn't mean it..." Dr. Mei said somewhat embarrassedly.

She just wanted to kill the assassin, but she didn't expect the bullet to pass through the assassin's brain and almost hit Ling directly.

"It's okay...it seems like the 'Stigmata Project' isn't going well?"

Ling looked at the dead man lying on the ground. His appearance was difficult to describe as "human".

"If you came here to laugh at the progress of my experiment, then congratulations, you did it."

Mebius casually kicked the body of the dead man aside and answered nonchalantly.

"Dr. Mei has also joined?" Ling asked.

"...Um."

"Then we will be on the same pirate ship from now on." Ling joked.

"Hey, I never agreed to let you join." Mebius looked at Ling unhappily.

"I have some good experimental data here. Would you like to take a look?" Ling took out a document calmly.

Mebius snatched it away without hesitation and was immediately attracted by the data on it. She flipped through the pages one by one and had finished reading them all before she knew it.

For those who don't know, these are just a few pieces of paper.

But for Mebius, these data were like a sudden explosion in stagnant water.

Mebius took a deep breath, and clenched his fist holding the paper. He lost again...

"How about this as a welcome gift for joining the 'Stigma Project'?" Ling asked.

"Whatever you say." Mebius threw the paper to Dr. Mei beside him.

Dr. Mei flipped through the pages curiously, but her expression became more dull with each page she turned.

She couldn't believe that the data above was actually completed by Ling.

It was not until this moment that Dr. Mei realized how deeply the feather in front of him was hidden.

Thinking about how he had looked down on Ling before, Dr. Mei suddenly felt a little ashamed.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered what Ling had just said.

"From now on, we are all on the same pirate ship."...

It seems to have a deeper meaning.

Chapter 273: Creator of the Laws

"Subject 10893's relevant memories have been erased. Subjects 4712 and 4715 are ready. The Houkai energy field is ready."

Ai Yi said word by word.

"The experiment begins." Ling ordered.

As the image on the screen began to clear, Subject 10893 gradually regained consciousness.

"Xier, are you awake? The teacher said you fainted suddenly. How do you feel now?" asked the mother.

"I...I'm fine..." The girl called Xier shook her head.

She felt a little confused and couldn't remember what had happened in the past.

"Today is your birthday, remember? Your dad prepared a birthday cake for you, hurry up and get up!"

Mother took Xier to the living room. A big cake was ready and her father was carefully putting candles on it.

"Xier woke up just in time. Was she woken up by the smell of the cake?" the father joked.

"No...no!" Xier immediately defended herself.

But the rumbling sound of her stomach just happened to pull her into an awkward atmosphere.

"Hahaha... Come and eat cake!"

Although Xier didn't understand what was going on, the feeling of home enveloped her.

The warm lights made her feel extremely relaxed, and as the candles were blown out, the birthday party reached its climax.

"This is a gift. Happy birthday, Xier!"

"This is a gift from Dad, happy birthday!"

Ling saw the happy atmosphere of the family.

About ten minutes later, Ai Yi sent a message.

"The emotional level has reached its peak. Do you want to start executing the plan?"

"Execute." Ling replied indifferently.

In just a moment, a group of people suddenly rushed in and held Xier down.

"Who are you?! Dad! Mom! Save me!"

But the two of them just watched it all indifferently, and the love in their eyes disappeared in an instant.

"Dad...Mom?" Xier looked at them in confusion.

Why didn't they help themselves? Why didn't they stop them? Why...

"Subject 10893, execute memory awakening command."

"Don't...don't..."

Xier shrank back in fear, tears welling up in her eyes unconsciously. She didn't know what would happen, but she was extremely scared.

But those people were carrying out orders like machines, and the needle was getting closer and closer to her.

As the liquid in the syringe was injected into Xier's body, memories began to flow into her brain like water.

It turns out that everything was fake. She was just a clone, a poor experimental subject. She had no parents or family at all. Everything was just a ridiculous experiment.

Xier struggled on the ground in pain, her nails digging deep into her flesh.

But she was completely unaware.

Compared to the physical pain, the mental blow she suffered made her feel more suffocated and desperate.

"Houkai energy concentration has been detected to be activating... and is rapidly increasing... and has reached a dangerous level..."

"You all...go to hell!!!"

A terrifying black mist suddenly spread around Xier, and the clones around her seemed to have been drained of their lives in an instant, and their bodies became extremely shriveled.

The black mist turned into a sickle in her hand. At this moment, she seemed like a soul-locking messenger who came from hell to the world.

She swung the sickle in her hand lightly, and the aura of death began to spread around.

"It seems that my guess was correct. Ai Yi, pass the message to the Fire Moth in secret."

"receive."

Soon, Kevin and Alicia led their respective teams to destroy the Herrscher.

This Herrscher is not very strong. As long as he is not exposed to death energy, his combat capability can be said to be the weakest Herrscher in history.
