Honkai Impact 3: Saving the former civilization by rubbing the black technology

Mobius couldn't help but glare at Ai Yue, but he still consciously took off the monitoring device on himself, then put on his clothes and got out of bed. "Why do I feel like I'm working two jobs?"

"That's fine, that's what volunteers do, they wear many hats."

Ai Yue didn't even raise his head. "By the way, I haven't asked you yet. How did your body feel during the period when the data was chaotic?"

"It's hard to describe. At first, I felt like I was falling apart, and then... I don't know what happened next."

Mebius responded, "By the time I regained consciousness from Kevin's memories, the discomfort I felt had already subsided."

"Could this thing even destroy the genes of Honkai Beasts?"

Ai Yue frowned and observed the equipment carefully. "That's impossible. Isn't Kevin still fine?"

"Is it possible that the stigma factor is exclusive?"

Mebius said, "Everyone's stigma factor has unique characteristics. It cannot be integrated with others?"

"I'm not sure, but I'm more inclined to believe it's your problem. After all, you're so special."

Ai Yue shook his head and took the needle out of the device. "So if we want to verify this problem, this is the only way."

As he said this, he inserted the needle into his arm at an extremely fast speed. His action was so swift that even Mebius, who was standing close to him, could not react.

"Are you crazy!?"

Mobius rushed over and pulled out the syringe, but the stigma factor inside had already been injected into Ai Yue's body without a trace left. So Mobius immediately pushed this troublesome guy onto the bed and began to install various monitoring devices on him. "How do you feel now?"

"You seem so cold and heartless."

Ai Yue complained, "Can't you show a little more care?"

"The matter is settled. What else can we do except collect data as quickly as possible?"

Mebius said mercilessly, "Stop talking nonsense, how do you feel?"

"I don't feel anything. Perhaps it's because the Honkai Beast gene in my body is highly adaptable."

Ai Yue closed his eyes and said, "Don't worry, I only did this when I was sure."

Mebius's physical condition was much more complicated than his, but he was not in danger of life after being exposed to the Stigmata Factor. Ai Yue and Kevin had some of the same Honkai Beast genes in his body. Even if the Stigmata Factor was truly unique, the rejection on him should be much less severe.

The fact was just as Ai Yue expected. After a short period of calm, he also mastered the ability to control ice. Although it was pitifully weak compared to Kevin, it at least proved that the stigma factor itself would exhibit similar characteristics to its owner, and could be temporarily bestowed on other people through the transfer of the stigma factor.

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable feeling spread throughout Ai Yue's body. He could feel numbness, soreness and itching in every corner of his body, as if there was a subtle but wonderful power circulating through his body, constantly affecting his body.

But if you feel it carefully, it is difficult to describe it specifically, as if it is just some kind of wrong perception transmitted by the nerves.

"Look, everything is normal."

Ai Yue smiled and looked at Mebius who was staring at him, "And I don't have any..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a roar in his head, and then his vision suddenly dimmed, as if something blocked his visual nerves.

All this happened quickly and passed away quickly. In just a short moment, Ai Yue's "vision" returned to normal again, but this time he was not lying on the bed in the laboratory, but on the cold, hard floor.

Looking at the unreachable ceiling, Ai Yue immediately realized - this was Kevin's memory.

But, I always feel like something is wrong...

Chapter 64: You were peeking at me just now, right?

By the time Ai Yue returned to reality, the feeling from his body had long disappeared. He stared at the ceiling for a while, and then he heard the voice of Mebius beside him.

"It seems that your experience is not much different from mine, except that the physical reaction is not as severe."

Mebius walked over with a stern face, taking off the monitoring device on Ai Yue while observing his expression, "How do you feel?"

"Not very good."

Ai Yue shook his head. "It's really a bit confusing to have so many things in my mind that don't belong to my past."

"If you feel bad, don't act impulsively next time."

Seeing that Ai Yue's words and actions were normal, Mebius finally felt relieved and smiled slightly. "You don't think you have more experience than me in human experiments, do you?"

"This is indeed incomparable. You have an innate advantage."

Ai Yue sat up, revealing a smug expression, "But this time everyone is inexperienced, which actually gives me an advantage."

"What did you discover?"

As soon as Mobius saw Ai Yue's expression, he knew that he must have gained something, and he couldn't help but look at him curiously, "Could it be that you weren't affected by Kevin's memories?"

“It has an impact.”

Ai Yue nodded, but said something beyond Mebius's expectations, "However, in my opinion, that may not be Kevin's memory."

Just as Ai Yue said just now, although Mobius has rich experience in self-human experiments and can calmly deal with various situations that occur on his body, the Stigmata Factor is, after all, a brand new substance that has never appeared before. From this perspective, whether it is Ai Yue or Mobius, their understanding of the Stigmata Factor is actually the same.

But Ai Yue's advantage in this regard is that he knows very well what characteristics the "stigmata" has in the original plot. By using this understanding to reverse-infer the situation he encounters, it is easy to discover the special features of it.

"impossible,"

Hearing Ai Yue's words, Mebius subconsciously retorted, "If that wasn't Kevin's memory, how could I possibly recall the training room at this moment? I've never been to that place!"

"But memories need a carrier. The center of a memory must be the owner of that memory."

Ai Yue retorted, "When you recalled those scenes, were you thinking from Kevin's perspective?"

Because he had only heard Mobius' description before, Ai Yue followed Mobius's idea and believed that these were memory fragments left by Kevin's mental power in the stigma factor.

But it was not until he experienced it himself that Ai Yue realized the strangeness of it.

If it were just fragments of memory, then even if Ai Yue could empathize and recall those scenes as if they were his own past, he would not be able to change the existence of the protagonist in the memory, that is, Kevin.

In other words, if it was really just a memory, Ai Yue would be able to tell it the moment he felt it, because the figure that appeared in that memory would not be himself, but Kevin.

Mobius also explained this point, but at first neither of them paid much attention to it. It was not until Ai Yue brought it up that Mobius realized it belatedly: "So that's how it is? No wonder I always felt so uncomfortable at the time."

But then she asked, "But if that's not Kevin's memory fragment, what is it?"

Although according to Ai Yue's inference, the theory of memory fragments can be basically overturned, it is undeniable that it is definitely a picture from Kevin's stigma factor.

"Look at this."

Ai Yue was prepared for Mebius's doubts. He took out a document next to him and handed it to Mebius. "I originally thought this was something that would only be used in the next stage, but now it seems that although it is only a prototype, it has exceeded everyone's expectations."

Mebius took the document and flipped through it quickly. After a moment, he looked up with a somewhat stunned expression: "Stigmata...space?"

"Well, but this is just a possibility. Because the project was shut down before, it cannot be confirmed."

Ai Yue nodded, "But at the moment, it should be confirmed - the image we saw after injecting the stigma factor came from Kevin's stigma space... the prototype."

"Are you kidding me? When did this happen?"

Mobius' voice couldn't help but rise an octave. "I was the one who first proposed the 'Stigmata Project'! But how come I don't have any impression of it at all?"

"Because this was done after the project was terminated, I improved and optimized it using existing data."

Ai Yue said calmly, "It's normal that you don't know."

In this timeline influenced by Ai Yue, the Stigmata Project in Mebius's hands was actually just a rough outline. Based on the concept of "imaginary space" proposed by Dr. Mei, she proposed this plan to try to use Honkai energy to directly connect human consciousness with imaginary space.

In the original plot, the Stigmata Space was actually a compromise they made because they were unable to directly connect human consciousness with the imaginary space.

In other words, the Stigmata Space is actually a transit device that connects human consciousness and the imaginary space. Through the Stigmata Space, humans can truly feel the existence of the imaginary space and even the imaginary tree.

However, this plan was not even officially launched and was directly terminated due to the appearance of Ai Yue. Without any attempt, Mebius naturally had no chance to propose the idea of the stigmata space, so this plan fell into Ai Yue's hands.

"So, you think that was the so-called stigmata space?"

Mebius frowned, accepting Ai Yue's explanation. "But how can you prove this? Even you can't be sure that it is the Stigmata Space, right?"

"The easiest way is to find the real owner to confirm."

Ai Yue took out his phone and said, "Although the Stigmata Dimension is only a prototype and cannot be truly freely entered, it can only be accessed briefly and discontinuously by purifying the Stigmata Factor and then injecting it, but it is actually connected to Kevin's consciousness."

Mebius immediately understood what Ai Yue meant: "In other words, if that is really the Stigmata space, and we have some contact here, Kevin will also notice it?"

Although she did not have enough knowledge about the field of consciousness, after being taught by Ai Yue, she roughly understood some characteristics of the spiritual field.

Similar to the Ruler's Domination Network, spiritual connections can transcend the limitations of physical distance, especially for individuals with strong mental power, for whom physical distance is nothing.

Ai Yue nodded, and then the call was connected. Kevin's voice came from the other end: "Dr. Ai Yue, what can I do for you?"

"There's something I want to confirm with you,"

Ai Yue glanced at the time and then turned on the hands-free mode. "Did you experience any abnormalities in the past half hour?"

"no……"

Kevin's tone was a little hesitant, as if he was recalling something seriously. "Why do you ask this suddenly? Do you have a more detailed description?"

"Any abnormality is fine, including any unconscious body movements or hallucinations."

Ai Yue spoke in a nonchalant tone, hiding the real question in the last sentence, "Or, have you ever been distracted and suddenly remembered something irrelevant?"

"If you put it that way, it does seem a bit..."

Kevin seemed to have thought of something at this time. "Just now... about fifteen minutes ago? I suddenly thought of Dr. Mobius, and then just now, I suddenly thought of you. Is this an abnormal situation?"

"Well, I can't be sure for now, but I've recorded it."

Ai Yue glanced at Mebius, and they both smiled at the same time, "That's it for now."

"Okay, Dr. Ai Yue."

After hanging up the phone, Ai Yue raised his eyebrows at Mebius, which probably meant "Am I right?"

"You win, okay?"

Mebius rolled his eyes, not wanting to argue with this occasionally childish guy. "So, what's the next goal?"

"Start from the stigmata space and try to synthesize the stigmata factor."

Ai Yue said confidently, "I have a feeling this time it will succeed!"

Chapter 65: I forgot the previous part, but the Horrifying Beast (4,000 words)

"Oh, the sun is so nice today."

At the highest point of the roof of the Star of Light, Padovanis felt the warm sunshine and turned over beautifully.

At first, Vivi actually wanted to design the top into a spire shape, but after Ai Yue looked at the drawings, he asked her to change it to a flat shape, so that if Padovani lived here one day, she would have a comfortable place to bask in the sun.

Of course, Padofelice didn't know Ai Yue's good intentions, but that didn't stop her from thinking that this position was great.

Unfortunately, if the weather gets any hotter, we will have to hide in the shade.

After an unknown amount of time, Padufilis finally sat up and stretched.

That’s all for today’s sunbathing time. What should we do next?

Ever since Mebius came, she no longer needed to worry about Ai Yue, so these days, the unrestrained Padufils could be said to have had a lot of fun.

Padufils put away the mat under her body, and then her whole body began to sink slowly, strangely falling into the hard roof.

Ever since she mastered the ability to travel freely through matter, Padofelice has never walked through the main entrance again.

After passing through the thick roof and descending from several rooms, Padofelice quickly returned to the central hall of the experimental base. Just when she was thinking about whether to go to the Fire Moth headquarters to play with the friends she knew, she happened to meet Hua walking in from outside.

The two looked at each other and were stunned for a moment.

Compared with the free and easy-going Padofils, Hua's life can be said to be very regular. He gets up in the morning to go for a morning run, then eats breakfast, does basic training in the training room in the morning, takes a nap after lunch, goes outside for actual training after waking up, comes back to have dinner, and then does two hours of meditation to strengthen the effect of the Divine Sound Plan. Only then does he have free time.

Of course, even in his free time, Hua has a strict plan.

When Ai Yue was not around, Padufils lived a life of day and night reversal. During the day, she would find different places to sleep, and at night, she would run around the base. In the past few days, the two of them lived in the same base, but had never met each other, so this scene happened.

Of course, this is just what Padova thinks, because Hua can occasionally see Padova sleeping in the corner, but she will not disturb her.

"Hey, Ahua,"

In the end, it was Padofelice who greeted first, "Where are you going so early?"

"To the training room."

Hua raised the water bottle in her hand and shook it as a greeting. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Want to join us, Phyllis?"

Hua regretted saying this - she only said such polite words out of the habit of the Shenzhou people, but she forgot that Padua was a free and easy person, and she didn't know what politeness meant. Making such an invitation rashly would only make both of them embarrassed.
