But he just smiled faintly, waved his hand and left.

……

in the afternoon.

After a quick lunch, Green went to Cecil's laboratory.

Like a white-haired elf isolated from the world, Cecil was still sitting alone in her office chair today, typing away on the computer keyboard. From time to time, she would lift her hair by her ears, take a sip of mellow coffee, and close her eyes to relax her slightly tired brain.

"It's been a while since we last met, Mr. Green, Commander of the Ark."

"It's been a long time since we last met, Cecil. How have you been lately?"

"Thanks to you, it's not bad."

Cecil smiled gently, rubbing her hair with her fingers before continuing, "To be honest, I never imagined that Eden would one day be able to capture a living heretic, and a relatively troublesome one at that."

"Nihilista, as one of the Queen's elite generals, I've recently made some progress in my research on her. If we continue at this pace, it might not be long before Eden can decipher the principles behind the heretics' regenerative abilities."

"Also, by the way, although Dorothy concealed some of the details of the arrest from us, I believe you were also involved in this matter, right?"

Cecil asked about how Nihilista was captured.

Apparently, Dorothy had remained tight-lipped about how she had captured the dragon, not revealing much to anyone in the Garden of Eden. But since she had indeed brought back a treasure, Cecil and John didn't pursue the matter too much.

"Yes, I was involved in this matter as well."

"However... the course of events is rather complicated and cannot be explained in a few words. Moreover, there are some secrets involved. If Cecil wants to know, perhaps we should find a suitable place to discuss it next time."

Green thought for a moment and replied.

"Okay, let's talk about the specifics next time."

Cecil nodded, then turned the topic back to Nihilista.

"Mr. Green, I think you must be very curious about the research on Nihilista and Heretic technology."

"Remember what I just said? I've already gained some insights into the heretics' technology. Although it's just a few bits of information, I'm sure you're curious."

Cecil smiled, as if to arouse Green's curiosity, she deliberately kept it a secret.

Green pondered the subtle expression on her face.

Soon, he understood what Cecil meant.

"Looking at you, do you want me to help you with something?"

"You really understand my thoughts. In exchange for information, please allow me to obtain something from your body for research."

"what?"

"Body fluids, blood, hair... In short, basically every possible sample will be collected. Don't worry, compared to last time, I just want to give you a more comprehensive physical examination."

"Okay, then in exchange, can you reveal a little more information now?"

Cecil nodded.

Then, she turned on the projector on the table and projected a Rubik's Cube-shaped object onto the screen in the laboratory.

Cecil walked up to the screen like a teacher, pointed at the Rubik's Cube-shaped object on the screen and asked, "Can you guess what this is?"

Green pondered for a moment and said, "This cube seems to be similar to a new type of technology on the Ark. It's called the Relic Cube. It's usually installed in Nikki as an auxiliary device. Depending on the model of the cube, it will have different effects on Nikki's performance. As for how it was unearthed, I heard from other commanders that it seems to be a special item found in some dangerous areas throughout Letcher."

Cecil nodded, confirming his statement: "Yes, as you can see, this Rubik's Cube should be the same item, and it is very likely Letcher's black box technology."

"In addition to the performance enhancements you mentioned, this magic cube within Nihilista's body, as far as I can tell, possesses a mysterious ability."

"Magical ability?"

"Mr. Green, have you ever heard of the story of turning stone into gold? Turning stone into gold, turning waste into valuable items. The magical ability I'm talking about is probably similar to that."

"That's impossible, Cecil. As a researcher, you should know that there's no technology in the world that can achieve this level of capability. If such technology really exists, then it can't be explained by science."

Green crossed his arms, expressing his doubts about Cecil's statement.

"It's normal for you to have doubts about this. After all, I also thought it was impossible for such a thing to exist in the world at first."

"But... creatures like Letcher and Heretic can't be explained by science, right? To this day, we haven't even figured out why Letcher was able to gain semi-permanent power through evolution."

"So please be patient and listen to my explanation."

Cecil steps down.

She flipped open her research notes and read out the text she had written earlier, word for word: "Although I'm still diligently researching the technical principles of the Rubik's Cube, based on the existing information, we can come up with a hypothesis."

"That is, most heretics may have the same magic cube in their bodies. This magical item can decompose any waste, resources, and even garbage, and then reshape these decomposed substances into another substance."

"You've probably seen it before, too. Heretics are forced to devour metal or eat other Letchers in order to restore their damaged weapons."

"By breaking down the waste, they can transform the useless things into body parts, bodies, energy, weapons, armor, and armaments. Therefore, as long as the magic cubes in their bodies are not damaged, they can continuously regenerate, thus appearing to have immortal bodies."

After listening to Cecil's explanation, Green couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

If Cecil's theory is correct, then can the magic cube in the heretic's body be used in other places?

For example, collect all the resources on the empty ground, and then carry out a large-scale waste-to-treasure transformation to rebuild civilization.

It seems a little scary.

The ability to transform waste into useful resources was enough to drive people crazy. Green couldn't imagine how crazy they would become if the Ark's top brass knew the whereabouts of this thing.

But in the final analysis, this is just Cecil's theory.

Even if the magic cube in the heretics' bodies can turn waste into treasure, who knows whether it will still be effective if it leaves their bodies.

After pondering for a while, Green raised his head and asked, "Cecil, you should know how terrible your inference is. If it were true, I think countless people would go crazy for it."

"um, yes."

"But please relax for now. This is just my theory. If we want to truly put it into practice, we must extract the Rubik's Cube from Nihilista's body. However, considering that doing so may cause irreversible damage to Nihilista, with Eden's current technology, it is not possible for the time being."

"So let's put this topic aside for now."

"By the way, what is the reason for you to come to see me this time?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to see if you've developed any new technology. Is there anything I could use?"

Green smiled and revealed his true purpose: "Like, a Gundam that humans can control, or wearable armor that allows for easier movement?"

"What you said is a bit too fantastical."

Cecil shook his head.

As a scientific researcher with a wide range of interests and advanced skills, she has actually done a lot of research related to humans.

But due to the fragile human body, many things are difficult for them to use.

"Let me give you an example. You said that humans can also drive the Gundam. In fact, such a thing has been developed a long time ago."

Cecil rubbed his long hair with his fingertips, then gently picked up a tank model on the table and threw it in front of Green: "Aren't tanks just another kind of Gundam?"

"Besides being inconvenient to maneuver, it possesses thick armor and terrifying firepower. Aside from special methods like EMP attacks, ordinary guns and artillery can only be crushed by it."

"But facing Letcher's artillery fire, even tanks are no different from paper. And if we want to build tanks with thicker armor and stronger firepower, there's actually no need for that."

"Niki, they are the human tanks of this era. Whether in terms of firepower, armor, or flexibility, they can be called tanks among tanks."

"Since we already have a humanoid tank that can crush our opponents at any time, why would we settle for second best and build some Gundam that is far inferior to Nikki's performance?"

Cecil asked back.

"So you don't understand men's romance, Cecil."

Green curled his lips. "Although I admit that Nikki and Gundam are really not that different, they won't let me ride them into battle, right?"

"You should save your romance for somewhere else."

Cecil shook his head.

"Well, if Gundam doesn't work, what do you think of Mosquito?"

Green suddenly came up with a fantastic idea: "Didn't you say before that my blood is a high-concentration antidote?"

"In that case, let's build some mosquito-shaped robots and inject my blood into their syringes. If we happen to encounter heretics, I'll control these mosquitoes and secretly inject my blood into their bodies. That way, even without using disintegrator bullets, we can destroy the heretics' immortality. Don't you think this idea of mine is brilliant?"

"..."

Cecil was probably speechless at Green's out-of-the-box idea.

She held her breath for a long moment before finally letting out a sigh. "If it really comes to that, I think you might as well cut your palm and then secretly punch the heretic in the face, or blind him with blood. Isn't that more practical than using a mosquito or something?"

Chapter 252: Politician Miss Dorothy.

--Garden of Eden--

3:24 pm.

Anis: "You know what I hate most about the Garden of Eden?"

Harlan: “Hmm?”

Harlan: "Do you think we're boring here?"

Anis: "Of course. How can a place without carbonated drinks call itself a paradise? I wouldn't approve of a place without Otaku Happy Water!"

Harlan: "What's so good about carbonated drinks? They're not even as good as my witch soup."

Anis: "Ha!"

Anis: “People who don’t understand carbonated drinks are in trouble!”

Anis: "If one day you want to accept refugees, or want to take over the Ark, why not tell those people: Come quickly, we in the Garden of Eden provide free carbonated drinks every day! I guarantee that everyone will rush to immigrate with their families."

Dorothy: "I don't think a few cans of soda can have such a big appeal."

Dorothy: "Besides, drinking too much of it isn't good for your health. How could such a drink possibly become a necessity in life?"

Anis: "You won't understand the joy of drinking carbonated drinks!"

Nien: “That’s it!”

Nian: "If a drink that makes people feel happy is also called junk food, then aren't those drinks that make people unhappy the junk food among junk foods? I support Anis on this!"

Dorothy: “…”

Dorothy: "I shouldn't have gotten involved in this topic."

Anis: "Haha! What? You want to turn around and leave as soon as you see us?"

Anis: "How about we talk about something you're interested in?"

Dorothy: "What do you think?"

Anis: "Dorothy, I know you must be very interested in the Ark, right? But you probably don't know that the Ark is holding a parade right now~"

Dorothy: "A parade?"

Dorothy: “When did it start?”

Anis: "It was probably just two days ago. Hey, are you curious? How about this, as long as you're willing to provide us with carbonated drinks, I'll tell you what happened."

Dorothy: “…”

Dorothy: "Don't keep me in suspense. I'll let Cecil take care of this. Now, tell me."

Anis: "I knew you couldn't help it."

Anis recalled a parade that had suddenly broken out in Ark a few days ago. She sorted out her thoughts and then quickly typed a few lines on the keyboard.

Anis: "Just a few days ago, female citizens of Ark took to the streets carrying banners, demanding that the central government improve the treatment and status of women. At the same time, they also engaged in online battles, insulting men and accusing Nikki of depriving them of the treatment and rights that should have belonged to them."

Anis: "Well, this kind of thing has happened before, but never on such a large scale. If you don't believe me, just browse the internet yourself. Everyone who spoke up for Nikki online is being hurled at her with vicious insults."

Dorothy: "Do the citizens of Ark still think about things like this?"

Dorothy: "Very interesting information."

Dorothy: "But I'm curious, what are everyone's thoughts on this matter?"

Anis: "You asked me how I watched it? Haha! I watched it while lying down!"

Anis: "Although I consider myself a woman both physically and mentally, I still know who the people who usually scold us the most are. Now that Nikki's status has finally improved a bit, I'm not going to say a word in their favor."

Rabbi: "Privati just sent me a video. She said that a few nikkis had a physical conflict with the marchers, but the central government has chosen to remain silent for the time being."
