"How can this be called a big trouble? This is clearly a little cutie~"

As the "meow meow" sounds came one after another, Myne felt like she was about to melt, with stars twinkling in her pink eyes: "Ms. Ruan Mei is really a genius! She can actually create such a cute creature! Nadezhda! I want to raise one too!"

"But we don't have such small animals here. If you want to keep a cat, that's fine..." Nadezhda warned, "but you have to be fully responsible for your own pet!"

"But this little thing doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Big Trouble, does it? Could it be that the trouble is yet to come?"

Lubbock shrugged. "I've read a novel before where a monster similar to this appeared, one that appeared to be a small animal but was actually a demon. Maybe this pastry-like cat is just pretending to be cute. When Xing turns around, it will suddenly grow bigger and eat Xing in one bite!"

Just as Lubbock was talking excitedly, the cat cake in the sky made a soft and long "meow~" at the right time, which made Xing pick it up and suck it.

This is the correct way to approach Ruan Mei's creations!

Chapter 298: Ordinary and the Crown of God (VI)

"Maomao Cake looked very sad, with tears pouring down her face as she meowed."

"After activating a special synesthesia beacon, Xing learned that it smelled like gray bean paste and was heartbroken because it hadn't been recognized by Ruan Mei. It curled up in a corner, constantly denying itself, still stubbornly waiting for Ruan Mei to come pick it up."

"Even Xing couldn't help but feel soft-hearted."

"She was just about to find a place to put the little guy when suddenly there was a strange movement from the hatch downstairs. Xing decided to stop by to check it out and let the little guy follow her."

"But as he was walking through a narrow corridor, Xing suddenly heard a slight noise behind him."

"—That's the subtle fluttering of some insect's wings."

"The next second, her body reacted before she could even think, and the bat spun around to block—"

““Clang!”

"The moment the bat and the mouthparts collided, sparks flew in the dim corridor!"

"Xing's arms were numb from the shock. The strange insect's body trembled like gelatin. Although it looked similar to a real stinging insect, its appearance was completely different from the ones he had seen on the train before. This one was completely translucent. If you didn't look closely, its body would almost blend in with the environment."

-

Kobayashi's Dragon Maid.

"Wow--!!"

Xiaolin covered her ears tightly. The sudden "clang" sound from the sky was like a steel wire, buzzing into her ears.

"Xiao Lin, are you okay?!" Thor quickly cast a concerned look at him.

"No, it's okay. It's just this bug... I feel so disgusted." She looked at the bug in the sky that was beaten by Xing until it splattered green blood, and goose bumps appeared all over her body. "Ms. Black Tower tacitly allowed her to research this? Isn't that too bold?"

"And these bugs are obviously stronger than the ones we encountered on the train. They can even become invisible. Could it be that Ruan Mei strengthened their bodies?"

Although Thor didn't quite understand the principles behind Ruan Mei's life research, she thought of the great magician who could enchant monsters and objects, and could impose invisibility or skin hardening effects... She thought Ruan Mei had done something similar to the insects.

Xiao Lin held his chin in thought and said, "But what is Miss Ruan Mei's purpose in making the insects stronger? Could it be that she wants to create another locust plague?"

"That's even more evil than the Devil... but she looks quite decent, not like someone who would do such a thing." Thor suddenly had an idea. "Oh! I see. This insect must be the 'big trouble' that Miss Ruan Mei mentioned! She must have wanted to control this insect, but accidentally escaped because of her invisibility!"

"...Is that so? Invisible bugs are a real problem, but I have a feeling it's not that simple..."

Xiao Lin looked at the bugs in the sky that had been blown to pieces by the stars, and the deep corridor that seemed to have no end. She always felt that some monsters might come out of this gloomy place.

-

"After dealing with this old bastard, Xing continued on his way with the red bean paste-flavored cat cake and arrived at a laboratory at the end of the corridor."

"Here, she saw even more colorful cat cakes gathered around. She was really surprised by the number of them."

"She went to the nearest computer, which contained Ruan Mei's previous experimental records."

"#23 Ah Cha's final days in the Mechanical City have inspired me. Even a life as long as hers will come to an end. Now I can confirm that the result of this training is: failure."

“There are thousands of forms of life, which proves that form itself is meaningless. These lives are so far apart in their concepts that they can even trigger a chain reaction of synaesthesia...but that's not what I want.”

"I'm beginning to feel lost. Is there really no answer to the question, [The Essence of Life]? #1 Zandar, have you ever felt this lost... and hopeless?"

“I seek to understand the essence of life, something that every individual possesses but is unaware of—whether it be the physical properties of existence or the unknowable beyond the physical. To avoid blindly following science, I cautiously question: Can Nguyen Mei, like a coordinate axis, peel away the external distractions and discover the most fundamental and beautiful form of life?”

"I have thought of a form of life which I have come to regard as sufficiently elusive to admit its unfathomable nature. It is..."

"Unfortunately, the experimental record was interrupted before she could finish."

-

DC Universe.

"So, this is why she studies the Star God?"

Inside the editorial building of the Daily Planet, Clark Kent pushed up his glasses that were about to slip off his nose. He tried to use his Kryptonian super vision to see the formulas and words in the background of the video of Ruan Mei's experiment on the sky screen, but unfortunately he found nothing.

"Perhaps not a Star God?" Lois Lane twirled her pen. "Star Gods are highly concentrated philosophical incarnations, emphasizing the concept of destiny. You have to know that Intellectual Star Gods aren't organic life forms, and they're incompatible with Ruan Mei's research on life."

"Then you mean..."

"Emissary." Louise picked up the steaming cup of coffee on the table. "The Emissaries that can be verified are all organic life forms, right? And the Emissary closest to Ruan Mei is the Black Tower, which makes it easier for her to understand and research."

"Study the Black Tower?" Clark felt that this idea sounded unreliable. Not to mention Ms. Black Tower's eccentric personality, would she cooperate with Ruan Mei and be her research subject?

"Of course not. You misunderstood me. There's more than just Black Tower in the universe. There may be fallen Orders in other paths, like Shuhu of Abundance... Didn't Ren and Danfeng originally want to use the flesh and blood of Orders for experiments?"

"Since the birth of the Star God, I believe there must be quite a few fallen Envoys. Perhaps there are some worthy of Ruan Mei's research."

Clark frowned, his tense jawline reflected in the nearby window. "But researching the Commander in a space station is too risky, isn't it? Could it be that Ruan Mei is planning to resurrect a Commander? Back then, a single blow from Phantom could destroy a star. Even if the station had a Commander and two geniuses manning it, the safety of the staff wouldn't be guaranteed if a fight broke out."

"That's unknown." Louise sighed, "But Ruan Mei also said that if there's any trouble, contact her first. If this genius has the means to revive a Commander, then I believe she definitely has a way to kill one."

Chapter 299: Ordinary and the Crown of God (Part 7)

"Xing led a group of cats to a deeper room and discovered a cabin for cultivating plants. After settling all the cats, a hidden door on the second floor suddenly opened."

"When we arrived at the door of the room, the small robot nearby indicated that this was Ms. Ruan Mei's hidden room. Through it, Xing continued to check Ruan Mei's training records."

"I have come across a life form that I admit is unfathomable. It is... the Herald."

"I'm not entirely sure what a Lingshi is. Scholars consider it an agent of the power of a Star God. So, when and at what point did it become closer to a Star God than any other life form?"

"At first, I tried to cultivate a genius. But I failed. This question remains unanswered, and there's still a long road to explore. But the destiny of the universe isn't solely based on [intelligence]. If we discard rationality, are there other paths where more primitive, more pure orders exist?"

“Of course it exists.”

"Taizyuros, through simulating the universe, I was able to glimpse the beginning and end of the locust plague. I was able to obtain data on the Insect King and his offspring, replicate them, and cultivate them, thus opening up a new branch of research. It's a very reasonable judgment, I will succeed. The 'it' I restore will bloom with unprecedented life."

"Will Screwgum and Black Tower like this experiment? Probably not. So before they notice... I have to speed up and find a suitable [Assistant]."

"Xing finally understood the whole story, but when checking the visitor records, the little robot said that a 'man with a plaster head' had been here before."

"The man with the plaster head?"

"Where did this weirdo come from..."

-

Battle of Two Cities.

In a laboratory in Piltover.

"Some forces are inherently untamable. Ms. Ruan Mei is undoubtedly touching upon some taboo." Heimerdinger shook his head firmly. "This kind of research is simply too dangerous. Replicating the Order in the lab... the slightest mistake could mean the death of the entire Black Tower Space Station."

"Professor, I trust Ms. Ruan Mei on this point." Victor's voice was faintly tinged with admiration. "—You also said that knowledge has no boundaries. Hextech was once considered taboo by you until we proved its value. Refusing to evolve is itself a regression."

"Hmm..." Heimerdinger lowered his head in thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "So, Viktor, do you consider the Research Order to be an evolution?"

"Of course, if this experiment can bring humanity one step closer to the mysteries of the Star Gods, it will undoubtedly be an evolution worthy of being recorded in history."

Viktor's tone grew increasingly agitated, the blazing heat in his eyes turning his once pale cheeks a faint hue. "Each destiny holds within it an indescribable power, a miracle far beyond the arcane! Professor Heimerdinger, imagine... what would happen if the vast power of the destinies of different envoys were harnessed?"

"Disease, famine, poverty... all human suffering can be solved! And Ms. Ruan Mei's research will definitely bring unprecedented help. Once Runeterra is developed by the company in time—"

“Viktor,” Heimerdinger interrupted calmly. “I don’t mean to discourage you, but in my experience… as long as humanity remains, none of this will change—it has nothing to do with technology.”

Heimerdinger looked at his most proud student, and thousands of years of wisdom condensed into deep worry in his eyes.

"Even if the power of [Reproduction] could be controlled artificially, it would only become a tool for those in power to exploit those below them... Victor."

"In front of the petri dish passage, Xing saw a person standing there from a distance."

"A man wearing a strange plaster head sat before a chessboard, contemplating his moves. While playing against himself, he chattered to himself, marveling at every brilliant move."

"Xing's footsteps interrupted his mumbling. The plaster head slowly lifted up, and the pale plaster eyes couldn't see the focus, but they gave Xing a chilling feeling of being seen through."

"You look distressed. Are you in trouble?"

The man stood up gracefully, and a rather heavy-looking book slowly unfolded in his hands.

"In that case—figure it out yourself."

"..." Xing looked at him in confusion.

"What are you standing there for? Do you have a lot of time? I don't think so. Take the elevator down, and you'll find what you're looking for right there," said the plaster head.

""Who are you?""

“Before asking a question, think about whether the answer will be helpful to the problem you are trying to solve. If not, it is best not to ask. Obviously, your time and ours are both valuable.”

He suddenly sighed. "...Never mind. Just consider this a demonstration: I know who you are, and I know you're working for Ruan Mei. I was a visitor to the space station, stumbled upon this place, and witnessed her experiment."

"My purpose is largely the same as yours. Since you've come, I won't interfere. But if you fail, I will intervene forcefully to prevent any unnecessary trouble."

“‘That’s all you need to know – two sentences in total, very effective communication.’ He seemed very satisfied with his answer.”

"Xing: "Why are you wearing a plaster head...""

"Because I can't stand stupid people, and of course, they don't want to see me either."

-

Teyvat.

"Elhaisen! Listen to this—that guy with the plaster head in the canopy speaks just like you, so mean!"

Elhaisen turned a page without looking up. "First of all, I never wear anything that obstructs my vision. Secondly..."

He took a sip of his coffee. "If you mean being logically clear and efficient in answering questions is harsh, then perhaps you'd be better suited to working at the Grand Bazaar. After all, the demand for logic there is well-suited to your academic level."

"That's not the point!" Kavi imitated the plaster-headed man's tone. "When that man said, 'Because I can't stand idiots, of course, they don't want to see me,' I imagined him saying it with your face, and it didn't feel out of place at all!"

"Your imagination is truly impressive. No wonder your designs always go over budget." Elhaisen finally closed the book, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes. "Although he and I do agree more on certain issues, I'm more tolerant of 'stupid remarks' than he is."

"What a stupid statement... Hey, Elhaisen, you are not hinting at me, are you?" Kavi said unhappily.

"That's explicit." Elhaisen stood up to pay the bill. "But the fact that you're aware of this means my language has finally surpassed your understanding. That's cause for celebration."

Chapter 300: Ordinary and the Crown of God (VIII)

"The real Ruan Mei creation is hidden in the giant petri dish below." The plaster head pointed to the road behind him. "Let's go. Take this elevator and witness it—[A Masterpiece of Genius]."

"Xing continued down this path until he came to an open cabin."

"It was deserted and dimly lit, with only the edge of the broken petri dish overhead reflecting a faint, cold light. Xing's boots made an unsettling sound as they touched the floor."

“Tick-tock—”

"A drop of yellow liquid fell from the edge of the broken glass and splashed at her feet. Xing dipped a little with her finger and found that the liquid was sticky. It didn't look like culture medium, but more like the residue of dissolved biological tissue."

-

jojo's bizarre adventure diamond is unbreakable.

Inside Torasadi restaurant in Morioh-cho.

Higashikata Josuke's fork dangled in mid-air, ketchup dripping onto the white tablecloth, creating a glaring red stain. He stared at the image of Xing walking alone toward the shattered petri dish in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, what's going on... Get out of here! Xing!" Josuke was sweating profusely. "That's a monster at the level of a hunting envoy! The last time we defeated Huanlong, it was with the help of Mr. Jingyuan, the hunting envoy, that we managed to win. This time, we might die—"

"Ms. Ruan Mei knew what she was nurturing, so why did she dare let Xing come to such a dangerous place alone?" Hirose Koichi was also very confused. Although she allowed Xing to call her at any time, who knew what would happen if she was exposed to the power of [breeding] at such close range? He was really afraid that the scenes in the simulated universe would be reflected in reality.

Finally, they both looked at the man in white holding a coffee cup across the table. "The star is about to come into contact with the Commander! Mr. Jotaro, quickly use your invincible Star Platinum to think of a solution!!"

"Ah, ah, daze." Jotaro pressed down the hat that almost merged with his hair. "I've tested it. Even if I pause time, they in the sky will continue to move. Besides... my Star Platinum can't penetrate the sky. If it could interfere, I would have taken action long ago."

"Besides—that guy is already here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hirose Koichi suddenly felt that the light in the restaurant dimmed for a moment - an extremely huge creature flashed across the sky, and the shadow completely enveloped Xing's body.
