The Honkai Simulator is not used to kidnap Herrscher!

"Don't worry, this level of injury won't kill you, it just hurts a little..."

Chen Ran was pretending to feel pain.

Only in this way can Wendy's attention be diverted.

Sure enough, Wendy said, "I'll get you some more alcohol."

"The gauze has been bandaged, what's the point of adding alcohol?" As Chen Ran spoke, he felt the wound on his body really start to hurt.

The nerve epidermis of his wound was injured, and after the alcohol evaporated, the pain became very severe.

Chen Ran's body suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

"Does it hurt?"

Wendy's feet couldn't move, so she could only sit in a wheelchair, holding Chen Ran's hand and looking at him worriedly.

As an excellent student, Wendy could naturally see how powerful the killer who attacked Chen Ran was. Even though Chen Ran was well prepared and his life was safe now, it did not mean that he was completely safe.

After all, Chen Ran is just an ordinary person.

If, if there was a way to make him recover...at least to reduce the pain a little, that would be great.

At this moment, Wendy did not know that the data detection equipment placed on her by the Ocean Branch showed abnormalities in the data synchronized on the computer terminal.

The rejection of her body to the Herrscher's core began to decrease.

"Honestly, it hurts."

"It's just like Lin Daiyu uprooting a weeping willow tree or Ximen Qing punching Jiang Menshen. It's really outrageous."

Wendy didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I don't understand what you are saying. Can you please stop joking?"

There was sweat on Chen Ran's face due to the pain from the backlash of alcohol, and Wendy quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe it dry.

Her voice was filled with anxiety: "I...what should I do to reduce your pain?"

Chen Ran still had the leisure to joke: "It won't hurt unless you kiss me."

Wendy's face flushed immediately.

"You're still talking nonsense at this time, so it seems that everything is fine."

She turned her head away, deliberately forcing herself not to look at Chen Ran lying on the hospital bed.

Chen Ran on the side was also a little tired.

He was injured and had lost too much blood, so he was already feeling very sleepy. Now that everything seemed to be resolved and he relaxed a little, sleepiness suddenly came over him like a tide.

His wound was still very painful, but with the help of medicine from the Ocean Branch, the pain was relieved.

Humans are actually very tolerant creatures. When sleepiness came over him, he closed his eyes.

Hearing the gradually even breathing sounds in the separate medical room, the blush on Wendy's face began to fade.

She turned around again and looked at Chen Ran, a hint of complexity flashing in her eyes.

The young man lay quietly on the white hospital bed, his face still pale from excessive blood loss. The sunlight shining through the gauze window shone on his face, bright and soft.

"What? I usually listen to you talking nonsense, but you look pretty good just lying quietly in bed."

She hesitated for a moment, held Chen Ran's left hand with both hands, and then leaned over gently.

A kiss fell on the back of his hand.

Chapter 16: The Third Collapse from Afar

Chen Ran lay in bed for many days.

Perhaps because he had died once, or perhaps because he did not need to load complex scenes and render them in detail in the same environment, his consciousness's carrying capacity had not reached its limit.

Just as a computer consumes extra memory to load a scene, so too does stepping into a new environment in a simulation require a conscious effort.

This system is very scientific.

"Damn it! Why don't they just give me a sign-in system? It'd be much easier to just sign in at the Fire Moth and get the Herrscher Core directly."

"Isn't this how the protagonists in novels always defeat the villains?"

He talked a lot to himself, not expecting anyone to understand him anyway.

As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Although advanced medical technology has directly shortened a lot of time, necessary recovery is still needed.

But today is the last day.

Chen Ran heard a knock on the door and shut up immediately.

But he saw a sub-god robot opening the door and pushing Wendy in front of him.

"It seems like I can be discharged from the hospital today. Don't I need to be observed for a few days?"

Chen Ran felt the wound on his body and said, "No need, the wounds are all healed. If I don't leave the hospital soon, my job will be taken away by someone else."

Wendy blinked. "Isn't it your job to take care of me?"

During this period, she also knew that Chen Ran was sent by the Ocean Branch to take care of her.

Although due to the accident, Wendy came to see him more often.

Chen Ran said, "Ah, that's what it means in theory."

"In name?"

"Actually, I just wanted to be lazy," he said. "You have no idea how sought-after this job is, taking care of you. You're quiet, sweet, and don't make a fuss. Several colleagues have already told me they want to trade places with me, and they've been severely reprimanded by their department leaders."

Because many of the theocratic plans have failed, and there are unknown enemies watching closely.

The atmosphere in the Theocracy Project team has not been very good during this period.

Wendy chuckled: "So to put it bluntly, you just want to be lazy."

"How can you call it lazy when it's a win-win situation?"

Chen Ran blinked and said, "But I have to leave the hospital now. Otherwise, if I rely on the Yashenji to take care of you, it will seem that I am useless."

"If that happens, I'll have to go back and get scolded."

There is no doubt that Wendy does not agree with Chen Ran's way of slacking off.

Just when Chen Ran was about to get up and go through the discharge procedures.

An unexpected person came here.

The head of the Theocracy Project in the Oceanic branch looked at him sternly, "Researcher Chen, let's talk alone."

...

In a small meeting room of the Ocean Branch.

The person in charge was a middle-aged man of about forty years old, with black hair and a shaggy face, and looked like a mixed-race.

However, no one would look down on him because of his appearance. The fact that he was in charge of the theocracy project itself proved his qualifications and strength.

However, Chen Ran's heart was calm.

In his subconscious, everything here is a simulation.

Simulation means falsehood, which means that no matter what the situation, he has a way out.

He asked, "Dear Supervisor... Sorry, I don't know your name yet, so what is my next task?"

The man with the sharp face didn't care about Chen Ran's disrespect. He said, "I apologize for your attack. It was Tianming's fault for not protecting you."

"It's been so long, so is there any compensation?"

"Yes, and quite a few," he said, "but your tasks will become more difficult from now on."

Chen Ran's eyes narrowed slightly.

He knew that the person in charge would not bring him to a confined space just to apologize. Sure enough, this was the key point.

"On March 2014, 3, around 28:14 PM in the Far East, the Changkong City Collapse occurred. I don't want to go into detail about the number of deaths from this Collapse, but you'll see this data through various channels."

"However, the Herrscher of Thunder, born from the Houkai eruption, is a girl named Raiden Mei, who was infused with the Conquest Gem by those who oppose entropy. She has now been recovered by the Far East branch and has been determined to possess human consciousness."

Chen Ran's pupils shrank slightly.

He expected the third collapse to happen, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Moreover, the entire process of Mei Raiden becoming a Herrscher and then a human is the same as the process of the experiments conducted by the Oceanic branch.

"There's no need to continue experimenting with the Theocratic Plan," he said. "All we need now is sufficient data to perform simulations, categorize, and summarize. In other words, the importance of this plan has been greatly reduced within the entire Heavenly Mandate."

It has been proven feasible to allow humans to plunder the power of the Herrscher by relying on the Herrscher Gem.

For Destiny, or for Otto, having one more or one less Herrscher combat unit actually doesn't matter.

The theocratic plan is just a supplement to the Xilin plan. Once the Xilin plan fails, the theocratic plan will be immediately put into practice.

As for Wendy herself, it doesn't matter.

"What about Wendy?"

"There's no point in continuing the plan," he said. "Wendy's is just a sunk cost paid by fate."

Chen Ran knows what sunk costs are.

These are expenses that occurred in the past but are not relevant to the current decision.

Obviously, judging from the purest rationality, there is no point in continuing the experiment.

Chen Ran was instantly enraged and desperately grabbed the collar of the person in charge: "She's an A-rank Valkyrie!"

"There are enough A-rank Valkyries in Destiny."

"She's been hailed as the next S-Class Valkyrie!"

"But that's the future." The shoehorn manager remained ruthless.

He said, "Steelman doesn't need additional combat power. Even if the divine right plan succeeds, Wendy, becoming a Herrscher, will be ostracized by her fellow Valkyries and everyone in Steelman. This is the best option for her after weighing all the pros and cons."

"This plan will be abolished. The theocratic plan is over."

"You bastard!" Chen Ran punched him directly in the face.

The man didn't dodge or evade, but stood straight to meet the fist.

"I understand your anger, emotionally."

"But this is destiny after all."

...

The head of the theocratic project is gone.

Chen Ran stood there blankly, suddenly feeling at a loss.

He originally thought that with Wendy's talent and potential, she would become the core of the divine plan promoted by Heaven's Will.

But the answer is too cold and realistic.

Destiny doesn't need it.

Because it was not needed, the future of an A-rank Valkyrie was ruined.
