Live broadcast of Honkai Impact 3rd, I chose to expose Kiana in Sky City!

"Shared... stigmata space?"

It turns out that Otto's taunting of Theresa before he left was quite apt.

The doctors of Anti-Entropy can indeed help her solve the most difficult intellectual problems...

"From the results, it can be seen that their stigmata spaces interfere with each other and fill the information gaps between each other. Just like the isolated Sentinelese people cannot understand life in modern society. Humans cannot have a specific understanding of the world they have never set foot in just through communication and imagination."

Dr. Einstein began his final summary.

"However, the stigmata record more than simple concepts like "language" and "images". Through "sharing the stigmata space, countless dream worlds that are close to reality continue to expand."

And those dreams, through the differences between people, reflect the future they pursue and their potential ideals.

In a sense, this is truly a utopia.

In short, the owner of the dream will subconsciously resist the "reality" he or she is originally supposed to face... It is difficult to liberate them using previous methods, and it is for such a simple reason.

The further we go in the depth direction, the weaker the influence on space becomes, and the harder it is to resist this subconscious rejection. It's just like when we were kids, we were afraid of injections.

Therefore, the reason why dreamers "cannot" leave the dream is because they "don't want to".

After all, dreams are just a way for living things to communicate directly with their subconscious minds.

In this case, it is inevitably influenced by the dreamer's emotions and likes and dislikes.

Technically speaking, this dream collection has become a singularity like a black hole. Even if the imaginary earth is reorganized into reality, it will have little effect on it.

"In fact, after saying so much, the most infuriating thing is that while we are trying every possible way to liberate them, these guys are still dreaming about their future in the imaginary space!"

After the explanation was almost complete, Dr. Tesla started to complain as usual.

“It really makes your blood pressure soar.”

“…seeking benefits and avoiding harm is the instinct of human beings as biological beings.”

Compared to her, Dr. Einstein seems much more rational.

"The victims are not even aware that they are in a dream, let alone waking up from it."

"Huh, who knows?"

As her old partner, Dr. Tesla habitually refuted.

"They should be thankful that they can still hide in their dreams. Otherwise, I will use Tesla 10562 to knock them on the head. Let them wake up."

"..."

Watching the two doctors bickering, Dr. Theresa finally realized something.

"......So, all our previous efforts are still in vain?"

"I'm sorry, but the answer is correct. The dream complex, or the 'spiritual Adam', is an information cocoon that will constantly strengthen itself. Even if Kevin is pulled over and beaten up, it will be useless."

Dr. Tesla complained bluntly—and in an instant he said the same thing as Shibao.

I have to say, this made everyone in the live broadcast room feel quite interesting.

"Hmm~ Dr. Tesla is indeed as cute as Shibao~ Of course, if we talk about intelligence, Dr. Tesla is smarter?"

"Uh...I guess that seems pretty unfair to me Dr. Tesla?"

"Really? I think she and that funny guy are a perfect match~"

In the live broadcast room, comments of complaints from the audience floated across.

Of course, in addition to the complaints in the live broadcast room, there were also complaints in the meeting rooms of Anti-Entropy and Destiny at this moment...

"——Of course, she was just talking about pulling Kevin over and giving him a beating."

Dr. Einstein was not stingy in praising Tesla at this moment.

Of course, as an old partner, Tesla wouldn't mind saying something to her.

"Tsk, you're the one who keeps talking."

After some communication, Theresa spoke out to stop the two from arguing.

"...In short, the situation is quite unfavorable to us."

"So, what are the countermeasures that everyone just mentioned? It seems to be very costly."

However, facing Theresa's question, even the most thick-skinned Tesla was speechless at this moment.

And facing her silence, Theresa felt incredible...

In the end, it was Joachim, also known as the leader of the Walter Alliance, who gave the answer.

"......Alright. As I just said, the 'Spiritual Adam' becomes unbreakable because of people's 'reluctance to wake up'. Then, we just need to locate the most stable dreams and break them one by one......After that, the remaining dreams will gradually disintegrate due to the instability of the system."

"...destroyed?"

Theresa's little brain was clearly not enough for such a complex description...

Fortunately, Tesla on the side was able to answer it at this time.

"Well. We can use energy weapons to bombard them and use force to eliminate these "stubborn elements". But..."

Before Dr. Tesla could give his final conclusion, Theresa finally realized the key.

"What will happen to those whose dreams are 'cleared'?"

"...I'm afraid it will at least be a heavy blow to the soul. The spiritual Adam does not carry dreams in the usual sense, but the human will to explore the beauty. Once these are destroyed by external forces - memories, feelings, dreams... even the emotion of "desire" itself, they will be shattered along with the dream."

Dr. Einstein began his final summary of the current situation.

"For the dreamer, this is no less than a tsunami in the spiritual world. As for what they will encounter after returning to reality... even if we think about it optimistically, it is probably equivalent to the condition of a depressed patient."

Faced with this cruel fact...Teresa remained silent.

As for the people in the live broadcast room, they all found it hard to accept.

"This...seems to be no different from taking their lives?"

A pink bullet screen floated across the screen...

Compared to existence itself, Alicia values ​​the meaning of existence more, and everything that people experience as human beings - but at this moment, judging from the information revealed in the plot.

If you want to save humanity, the final price you need to pay is not much different from Kevin's Stigma Plan...

The reason for all this is that humans trapped in dreams must want to be saved...

Chapter 536 Humans are only worthy of being saved if they are willing to be saved

"After all, for humans, if they lose the ability to desire, they actually lose everything."

Dr. Einstein closed his eyes and said with regret.

If possible, she would certainly like to save everyone.

But unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a solution that has the best of both worlds.

All they can do is to try to choose the option with the least casualties and sacrifices.

"That is to say... for him personally, even 'life' itself will lose its meaning?"

Theresa, who was on the communication line, stroked her chin and asked with mixed feelings.

"Yes. If we choose to confront the subconscious of mankind head-on, many innocent people will be sacrificed."

"Theresa, this is the price we have to pay for making this decision."

Theresa was speechless for a moment at Einstein's frankness.

Not long ago, she firmly believed that she could pay any price for the future of this world.

After she has gone through countless twists and turns and grown up, and finally become the leader of destiny, no one will question her determination and will to make this promise.

However, when these "prices" did not belong to her, she could no longer make any response.

Theresa opened her mouth in vain, but nothing came out. The words lingering on her tongue weighed a thousand pounds.

——That is the weight of the hammer of life that falls on countless people.

'bump! '

Halfway through the meeting, the grumpy Dr. Tesla slammed the table.

"...I'm so angry. Although these people are indeed hateful...but if we decide their fate like this, how different are we from the World Serpent?"

Surprisingly, she did not vent her anger at those people again - instead, she was angry at her own helplessness.

Seeing this, Dr. Einstein, her closest old partner, also expressed his feelings at this time.

"Yes, this is why this plan was shelved before. Even if he is a real god, he has no right to decide someone's life. This is the belief that Ni Di has always adhered to."

"But now, this unreasonable approach seems to be the only way out for us."

"The original action of "taking back the Earth" is no longer meaningful, and the method of locating the "Cocoon of the End" has reached a bottleneck... There is not much time left for us to think of other solutions."

Even Dr. Einstein, who is almost omnipotent, said this, which is enough to show that the current situation is quite bad.

The battle has reached a bottleneck...

'bump! '

The grumpy Dr. Tesla slammed the table again.

"Asshole, I just can't swallow this!"

"'From my perspective, you can't get a better answer' - this is Kevin's way of mocking us!"

At this moment, Dr. Tesla expressed great dissatisfaction with Kevin's ridicule.

Of course, she did not forget to propose a relatively simple and crude solution at this time.

"I really want to teach those useless bastards a lesson and make them suffer a little bit - but do we really want to throw in the towel and be led by this heartless Stigmata plan?"

However, just when Tesla was extremely dissatisfied with the helpless status quo...

Theresa was unusually calm at this moment.

She knew very well that this was more of a question than a mockery.

If we are destined to give up something for humanity and civilization, what answer does Kevin want us to come up with?

Suddenly, she recalled the calm and indifferent eyes of her ancestor when she confronted Kevin.

Yes, he had already made his choice. The Stigma Project was his answer.

He may not expect any answer, and this is not a test given to us...but we still have to give an answer.

...

?

By the way, at that time——

Theresa had an idea.

"...Perhaps, violence is not the only way to break through the dream collective."

"After all, when I was captured by the Stigmata Project, although it was accidental, I did realize that I was in a dream."

"So it seems that the so-called 'spiritual Adam' ... is not indestructible."

Something unexpected happened...

Theresa, at this moment, actually discovered the key point of the problem...

This, it has to be said, surprised everyone.

"Wow! Theresa actually has this kind of highlight moment?"

"I always thought thinking about strategy was not her forte..."

"It's puzzling. It turns out her brain isn't always bad, but it's sometimes good and sometimes bad."

In the live broadcast room, comments from the audience floated across.

Obviously, everyone at this moment was surprised by Theresa's flash of inspiration.

After all, although Theresa is a good school principal, she has basically been fooled by Otto so far.

However, after taking the throne of Bishop of Heaven's Destiny, she...seemed to have inherited some of Otto's wisdom.

And so, after a while——
