I have no regrets about my 2D world!

The Herrscher had completely lost its threat. After confirming that the Herrscher's vital signs had completely disappeared and his consciousness had not left the body, Mei sent the body to Mebius' laboratory for research.

Then he sent Su away, leaving Aponya alone to chat.

From noon till evening, no one except the two of them knew what they said.

The only thing others knew was that Aponia voluntarily stayed in Fire Moth as a psychiatrist.

After returning home in the evening, Mei had dinner and washed up, then changed into pajamas and went to Bai's bedroom.

Of course, I don’t want to do anything, I’m just used to wearing this kind of clothes at home.

Seeing Mei coming, Bai was a little surprised but also guessed the reason.

The Herrscher's issue was resolved, and Mei and Aponia chatted for a long time. Given Aponia's personality, he would not refuse to answer anything Mei asked, but it was estimated that some of the answers would be very vague.

So if nothing unexpected happens, Mei should come to him to verify.

"Bai, can you tell me about Aponya?"

There was no unnecessary small talk. With their tacit understanding, Mei believed Bai knew what she wanted to do.

"Okay, what do you want to know?"

“As for her abilities.

Before and after becoming a fusion warrior."

"Ability..." Bai thought for a moment, organizing his words in his mind. "Before becoming a fusion warrior, Aponya only had one ability, which was to simply control those with weak wills. You can think of it as another form of hypnosis."

Hypnosis is basically hypnotizing the consciousness, making the mind blurred, but the body will not be affected and can still act normally.

But Aponia's control does directly control the body without affecting the consciousness.

"She once single-handedly protected a nursing home in a chaotic area called Dusk Street with her language skills, so there's no need to doubt her talent.

After becoming a fusion warrior, her abilities were enhanced, or rather, completed.

Now she can not only control her body, but also her consciousness.

You should have seen it today. As long as she is willing and given the opportunity, even a Herrscher may not be able to withstand her ability.

In addition, she has another more special ability, which Aponya calls 'Discipline'. In fact, it is more like an enhanced version of the consciousness shackles you developed before.

Since it's called a commandment, it must be used to constrain. However, the object of this constraint is not limited to the human body. Consciousness, personality, and even memory can be constrained. In a sense, it is very similar to the "words follow the law" in some immortal cultivation novels.

"Is there no upper limit?"

“Of course there are limits, and the simplest ones are energy and will.

If your own energy exceeds the scope that she can restrain, then her ability will naturally not be effective; or if your will resists her erosion, then the commandments will naturally be useless to you.

As for other aspects, such as the range and the number that can be restrained, I don't think we need to care too much about them. After all, with Aponia's current ability, if she really attacks someone, by the time that person discovers her, they will probably have entered Aponia's attack range.

Unless they are psychic fusion warriors like her who can predict and take precautions in advance, other enhanced fusion warriors are no different from ordinary people in front of her.

Of course, mental strength comes with physical weaknesses. There's no need for a fusion warrior to intervene; any ordinary person who can fire a gun would likely severely injure her. So there's no need to worry about her doing anything. After all, the range of her weapons is still greater than her ability.

"In that case, we can make fewer arrangements." Mei nodded slightly and deleted some of the measures she had prepared in her mind.

If Aponia really had extremely strong attacking capabilities and good defensive capabilities, then she would definitely consider carefully what to do if she needed to attack Aponia one day. But now that she knew that Aponia was a character with high attack and paper defense, she didn't need to spend too much time and energy thinking about how to deal with her.

After all, as Bai said, the attack range of current weapons is still far beyond that of Aponia.

As for whether or not to take precautions around her, she felt that the people Bai brought would not attack her, and she believed that even if her memory or consciousness was tampered with, Bai would be able to find out.

Bai will naturally take action to resolve everything when the time comes...

While thinking about it, Mei suddenly thought of another thing.

"By the way, Bai, a special situation occurred today when Aponya was dealing with the Herrscher. The Herrscher seemed to have entered Aponya's mind and saw something, no, it should be said that he felt something.

According to what the Herrscher said at the time, He didn't see it, nor did He dare to look. Do you know why?"

"Don't dare to look?"

Bai Lu looked thoughtful.

He had checked everyone who had some connection with him, such as Aponya, Padolis, Sakura, and even Mei, from beginning to end, and found no abnormalities at all, so it should not be an external influence.

But since it was an external influence, what frightened the Herrscher and left a deep impression on Aponia...

Bai suddenly thought of another possibility.

"Come to think of it, Aponya was a nun before. Perhaps the god who left such a deep impression on her was the one that frightened the Herrscher."

"God?" Mei almost didn't react when she heard the word. "As much as I hate to say it, reality should still be considered materialistic and scientific, right?"

Isn't it too strange that gods appear in a world where everything follows logic?

"Scientific? Most of it is scientific, yes, but what about the Herrscher who appeared this time?

If I remember correctly, most of the current science on consciousness is an extension of the mind, and there is no reasonable explanation for what the mind is, right? "

"That's... true."

At best, the instrument can infer what is happening in the mind based on a person's brain waves, and make general judgments on things like consciousness and spirit, which are more of a philosophical explanation.

"But if that's the case, then the Herrscher who might appear next..." Mei frowned slightly.

If there is one, there will be a second. If a law that is beyond the scope of science appears once, there is a high probability that it will appear a second time.

This time I am lucky to have two fusion warriors who can fight against it, but I may not be so lucky next time.

Could it be that he was still hoping to find the Honkai Beast that accompanied the Herrscher at birth to use in the fusion warrior surgery? The chances of that were too small, and it was impossible to put pressure on such an unstable situation.

But other than that...

Ok?

Just as Mei was thinking about how to deal with the non-scientific Herrscher who might appear next, her body was suddenly embraced by Bai's palm, and her head was placed on Bai's legs.

Looking up, Bai chuckled.

"Okay, Mei, although it's good to plan ahead, we just dealt with one Herrscher, and the next one won't be coming out for a while, so give yourself a break and have a good rest."

"Bai..." Looking at Bai's gentle eyes, Mei was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with relief.

"That's right, it's time to have a good rest."

His palm gently stroked Mei's cheek. Mei closed her eyes and her breathing gradually became calmer.

After about ten minutes, after confirming that Mei had fallen asleep, Bai put Mei on the bed and then looked towards the door.

"come in."

As soon as the words fell, the door was gently pushed open and Alicia walked in briskly.

"I made sure I didn't make any sound, but you still found out, Bai."

“Then you must have made a mistake.

So what are you doing here now? Mei just had a break."

"Hmm...what's up? Of course I noticed Mei ran to your room, Bai, so I came to check on her out of concern."

"Really? I think it would be more reasonable if you and Mei switched places and she said this."

"Hey, are my intentions so obvious?"

"What do you think?"

“I think… okay, okay, let’s change the subject.

What are you going to do?"

Alicia waved her hand and looked at Mei lying on the bed.

Bai also glanced over at the same time.

"Mei, it's time to have a good rest, so I want to take this opportunity to take her out for a walk."

"Dating?!"

"You could say the same thing."

"Wait, why Meixian? You've never dated me, Bai?!"

"Why don't you tell me how far ahead of Mei you are?"

"Uh, okay, okay. You have to make it up to me later, otherwise I will be unhappy."

"Then we'll talk about it later. You can go out now. I need to rest for a while too."

"Are you going to kick me out so soon? Can I stay here and sleep with you?"

"no!"

......

Chapter 180 Vacation World

Her long-tense spirit was finally relaxed, and with a familiar and reassuring scent beside her, Mei slept for more than ten hours.

When she woke up and wanted to start a new day's work, she found that the surroundings seemed no longer familiar to her.

Gone are the white ceilings and fresh-smelling rooms, replaced by a forest filled with natural fragrances and the chirping of birds and flowers.

Of course, it was on Bai's legs before going to bed, and it was still on Bai's legs when he woke up, as if Bai had not made any movements during this period.

"Bai, where is this?"

"Are you awake? This is where you'll be on vacation these days."

"take a vacation?"

"That's right. I see you've been quite tense lately. Now that the Herrscher incident is over, I've asked for a few days' leave. Don't think about anything related to the Fire Moth these days. Just relax.

As for the lab, I've let Prometheus take over. Don't worry, at least for now, Prometheus can still replace you for a while."

After explaining the current situation briskly and concisely, Bai pulled Mei up and sat her up.

"Prometheus..." Mei thought of the gray-haired girl whose dark circles under her eyes had gradually deepened in the past two days, and was a little worried whether Prometheus would still be there when she returned.

Forget it, I'm already here and have taken the day off, so I might as well enjoy this leisurely time.

I have been here at Fire Moth for several years, and this is the first time I have had a holiday outside of the regulations.

After figuring this out, Mei's mood suddenly became much better, and she began to look around.

Bai changed into a green robe with an ancient style, and her pajamas turned into a light blue skirt.

"This place... is it some place that hasn't kept up with the times? But looking at the surroundings, it shouldn't be like that.

The position of the sun and the appearance of the surrounding trees indicate that this should be the center of the continent. How could such a beautiful forest exist in a place like this without someone taking care of it?"

Based on what she had learned, it didn't take Mei long to determine the approximate location of the place, but she still had some doubts in her heart. After all, if it was true as she guessed, there was no reason for them to change clothes.

And it's a style that was obviously chosen to blend in with a certain place.

"This place can be considered the center of the continent, but it's not the so-called lagging behind the times. In fact, this place is at the forefront of the times."

Bai looked up at Mei and behind Mei, explaining slowly.

"Mei, you are quite familiar with quantum theory, so you should have some idea about a place like the Quantum Sea.

Now I can tell you that the quantum ocean does exist. A wave or a bubble in the ocean can be a complete world. You can regard them as parallel worlds.

But I usually call these worlds world bubbles."

"So we are in a world bubble?" Mei pondered.

"Not really." Bai shook his head slightly, "The Quantum Ocean carries numerous worlds, but there is also a corresponding existence, which I generally call the Imaginary Number Tree.

The tree of imaginary numbers is very lush, and the leaves on the book are as endless as the sands of the Ganges, and each leaf represents a world.

The second divine key, Vilvi, should be almost ready. One of its functions is to open up the imaginary space, thereby observing other worlds, and even take people to other worlds under certain power.

We are now in a leaf on the Imaginary Number Tree. As for how we got here, just think of it as me using a method similar to the Second God Key."

"Since this world and ours both exist on trees, there should also be similar collapse situations, right?"

Bai did not explain how he came here, and Mei did not intend to ask. Anyway, it was enough for her to know that Bai could take people to other worlds. If the time really came, she thought Bai would not mind telling her everything.

"Yes, there are similar situations here, but because the civilization here is quite different from ours, the form of collapse is also different."

Judging a civilization requires looking at many aspects, such as population, living standards, mental state, and technology or other generally accepted technologies that affect daily life.
