Collapse, women's clothing strategy Qiyana, then

“To think I lost to her in something like this…” Blanca said in disbelief.

"No, no, that's not true!" Hen quickly interjected.

"Humph……"

Grey was being fed by Blanca herself, but her mouth was full of oil.

Kiana ate one bite after another, and the more she ate, the more she felt a strange sense of déjà vu.

"No, I've never eaten this dish before, but why does it feel so familiar?"

"Try again, eating a few more bites should help you remember..."

Alicia moved closer to Eden: "How are you feeling, Eden?"

Eden had just put down his wine glass, his face flushed and his mind not quite clear, when he said, "Hmm... the ingredients were carefully selected, and the seasoning was perfectly natural. If I had to describe it in one word—it's flawless. So Miss Fu Yan is actually this kind of person? That's quite unexpected, haha."

"Oh? What kind of person is it? Eden, tell me quickly! ?yi冥十起是柒?四吴Z6!"

Upon hearing this, everyone subconsciously slowed down their eating pace.

"A person's cooking can often represent some of their characteristics."

"As for Miss Fu Yan, I feel that her inner self is somewhat different from what she shows."

"How should I put it? She's probably the kind of person who least wants to see anyone get into trouble."

Aponia, who had been standing quietly to the side, nodded in agreement.

"Anything else?!" Alicia quickly asked again.

"Ellie, how can you possibly deduce so much from just one dish? If you keep talking, it'll just become wild speculation. Why don't you go ask her yourself, or try to get closer to her?"

"Yes! That makes sense!"

Inside the spare kitchen, the air was filled with the smell of cooking.

At that moment, the door quietly opened.

Sakura's animal ears twitched, and then her gaze fixed on it. She said sternly, "Rin, don't steal any food!"

The moment her hand reached out to Ling, she quickly withdrew it and hid behind Bai Yan.

　"Sigh..." Sakura sighed.

"I agree with your sister on this point, Rin."

"People were just attracted by the smell..."

"Never thought about learning from your sister?"

"Um, no..."

Then, she asked, somewhat annoyed, "Sister Fu Yan, who did you learn your skills from?"

“I have an older sister to me, not related by blood, but we call her that after spending a lot of time together. She is a perfectionist.”

Sakura finally plated the food from the pot, and only after Hua carried it to the food cart did she have time to clean up Bell.

"Sister, I was wrong!"

“Sakura, let me remind you, what she meant by saying that is that she knows she’s going to be in trouble, not that she knows she was wrong.”

"Oh, Sister Fu Yan!"

Upon hearing this, Sakura couldn't help but chuckle softly, but she quickly suppressed her smile: "It seems necessary to punish Rin."

"..." Qilin Si, Jiu Qi Chan Si Gong

Bai Yan asked, "For example, eating bitter melon for a month?"

Sakura's eyes lit up: "Great idea!"

Ling clutched her head in anguish and crouched in the corner, sobbing softly.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

“To be honest, since working with you, Miss Fu Yan, everything… well, it’s made me feel much more relaxed,” Sakura seemed to realize she was being too relaxed, so she paused slightly to compose herself. “I need to thank you for that.”

Is it really that exaggerated?

"At least, neither the poisonous pupa incident nor the collapse incident has affected me since then, and it even gave me the illusion that everything was over."

"...However, that's not the case. In fact, I hope you're mentally prepared for some things."

“I understand,” Sakura nodded solemnly upon hearing this. “I also know a little about Dr. Mei’s conclusion. The future war will be very difficult, so I will not let my guard down.”

However, that's not what Bai Yan was talking about.

Volume 1: Chapter 172: Sakura Forced to Be Present

Dr. Mei's laboratory.

Sakura seemed a little uneasy.

The other two people present, Mei and Bai Yan, seemed to be about to discuss some secrets that she shouldn't hear.

With only three people present, what exactly am I here for?

She's just an assassin, how could she possibly have access to secrets of this level?!

“Sakura seems to be under a lot of pressure,” Bai Yan said. “Dr. Mei, do you really want her to know too?”

However, Dr. May ignored this.

"You hinted to me before that there were many things I couldn't say directly."

"After thinking about it for a long time, I finally chose my first instinct..."

At this point, the speech abruptly ended.

Dr. Mei tapped the table lightly and quickly changed the subject, which was extremely abrupt.

"Therefore, I recently conducted further examinations on Sakura, Aponia, Hua, and Padofelis."

As she spoke, Dr. Mei turned her gaze to Sakura.

Sakura subconsciously looked at Bai Yan for help.

“In the end, you chose Sakura, which I really can’t understand,” Bai Yan quietly placed his hand on the back of Sakura’s hand to reassure her. “I thought you would only focus your attention on Kevin. To be honest, no matter how you look at it, he is more qualified to sit here.”

Sakura felt a little relieved and calmed herself down to wait for the conversation to end.

“Kevin is a confirmed link, but Kevin alone is not enough.” Dr. Mei turned to look at Bai Yan, her eyes conveying a strange emotion.

Bai Yan's heart stirred.

Dr. Mei meant that she had already begun to plan something—no, well, it shouldn't be called planning, but rather some kind of exploration.

He always kept in mind his most crucial goal in coming to the previous civilization.

"Although I believe we have reached a certain understanding, I would like to reiterate some conclusions: all the actions and thoughts mentioned above were based on an inspiration or idea that I had once formed in my mind, and were not unplanned or accidental."

At this moment, Dr. Mei's expression was extremely serious.

What she was referring to was a boundary that needed to be clearly drawn, a detail that Bai Yan had always been unwilling to affect.

Bai Yan nodded upon hearing this: "In that case, I can rest assured."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Mei's expression relaxed, and she asked for his opinion: "In that case, I will let Kiana and Kevin in as well."

"it is good."

A short while later, the two entered one after the other.

"Mei, is something the matter?"

"Regarding combat, specifically the Herrscher."

"That's it."

Kiana looked at Bai Yan, who nodded slightly.

After the two were seated, Dr. Mei asked, "Regarding the abnormal strength of the Ninth Herrscher, what are your thoughts on this, everyone here?"

This also surprised Kiana.

She knows her own strength; as far as the Herrscher is concerned, no one can be her match.

However, the pre-civilization Yanlu almost broke through this critical point.

Very abnormal!

Kiana then said, "Perhaps that Herrscher has a special way of drawing power from the imaginary space? Like a larger, uh, entrance?"

Dr. Mei smiled and said, "It's a very apt analogy, especially after knowing that this Herrscher can create black holes."

"Ha..." Kiana chuckled awkwardly.

“The power of the Herrscher has always been mysterious and unpredictable,” Kevin said thoughtfully. “I think it is, that kind of… that kind of mutated individual.”

Dr. Mei finally looked at Bai Yan.

The latter crossed his arms and said, "That guy can't possibly have more than one core, can he?"

"Hmm, that's a very bold guess. However, according to Dr. Möbius's conclusion, the human mind can only support the power of one core at a time. Otherwise, it might not even be able to maintain its senses, let alone cause destruction."

Kiana's expression was completely overwhelmed at that moment.

—Wait, why are we suddenly talking about this?!

Although she wanted to listen, she didn't want to listen as a participant in the conversation.

"It seems that the Herrscher's abilities are relatively limited, so as long as the speed is fast enough, there is still a way to deal with it. The rest is just a matter of the strength of the power," Bai Yan said.

"Regarding this, quite a few Fusion Warriors have attempted to artificially collapse. So far, the plan is progressing smoothly, but there are still a few isolated anomalies, which are fortunately under control."

“That’s something to look forward to…” Bai Yan glanced at Kevin.

Kiana still found it a little hard to accept that the collapse was man-made.

Because the first person she saw to initiate the collapse of human civilization was Möbius in the present civilization.

That inhuman appearance was indeed a bit unsightly.

And he was instantly killed the moment he appeared...

“I’m relieved about Kevin. Next up is Sakura,” Dr. Mei suddenly said.

"..."

Sakura felt a lot of pressure.

Of the people present, she could only defeat Dr. Mei.

But Dr. Mei is just a scientist who does scientific research; she doesn't have that kind of exaggerated power.

Aponia didn't come, neither did Hua and Kosmo, who were considered to have unlimited potential, nor even the scorching hot Thousand Calamities.

Sakura doesn't think she's stronger than the others mentioned above.

But why myself?

"Don't be nervous, you just haven't realized your own value," Dr. Mei reassured you.

"Thank you... but I still don't understand."

"Even Dr. Mebius didn't understand. When I told her my guess, she spent almost an hour confirming with me whether my brain was still functioning properly."

The phrase "Only Sakura didn't feel anything" is quite humorous.

"guess?"

"Yes, although Dr. Möbius thought I was dreaming, once she assumed my conjecture was true and completed the derivation, she said that from that moment on, all she needed to do was for me to prove whether those preconditions were true."

Sakura took a deep breath.

Thankfully, it's not like I'm required to do any strange or unusual work.

Bai Yan spoke up: "Is this why you asked me to come, to prove that precondition?"

"I think no one is more suitable than you."

"Haha, I originally wanted to ask you for the answer, but it turns out I have to write the proof process—okay, I'll take it."

Sakura felt relieved upon hearing this and subconsciously looked at Bai Yan, who pretended not to see her.
