Collapse, I save everything alone

"So...should we send her to the infirmary?"

Mei suggested to Mingyu with some concern.

After all, the pink-haired girl doesn't look in good condition. If there is something wrong with her body, she needs to be sent to the infirmary for treatment in time.

"..."

Mingyu did not answer immediately.

If Yaezakura was sent to the infirmary, her existence would be made public to the world - a certain bishop of destiny who had lived for five hundred years would discover Yaezakura's existence.

After five hundred years, he met other people closely related to Kallen again. He didn't know what the insane Bishop of Fate would do, nor did he want to know.

Of course, he would not make a decision based on inference alone.

If Yae Sakura can only be cured by relying on the technology of Saint Freya or even the Sentence Headquarters, then there is no reason to refuse.

Well, at this critical moment of decision, it is better to go through different choices first and see the consequences.

If she were sent to the infirmary in the academy, her future would become——

[Soon, you left the dormitory with Kiana and the others, sent Yae Sakura to the infirmary in the academy, and found the doctor in charge of treatment and Theresa.]

[Naturally, Saint Freya's advanced equipment detected Yaezakura's identity as a pseudo-herrscher]

[This made Theresa a little confused. She had not received any reports of new Herrschers appearing in the Far East recently.]

[Of course, they were not surprised by the identity of the Pseudo-Hermaphrodite]

[After all, this is not a very rare thing. There is a real Herrscher Mei in the academy, a girl named Yuno who almost became a pseudo-Herscher, and a Herrscher clone who failed to invade a while ago and is now imprisoned in the academy.]

[At the same time, the equipment also detected the reason why Yaezakura fell into a coma]

[——On her back, there is a holy scar in the shape of three magatama. In that holy scar, the instrument detected an abnormal information flow, which caused the host's body function to be disrupted, and also affected her consciousness.]

[I'm afraid this is why Yaezakura can no longer maintain her fox form and has fallen into a deep sleep and coma.]

[According to the test results, she has been in a coma for some time, about two to three days]

[You are discussing how to solve this problem and wake up Yae Sakura. Bronya seems to have a suggestion, but at this moment, the person you don’t want to see appears in the infirmary and interrupts your conversation.]

【——Otto Apokalis】

[Of course, he did not come here in his true form, or rather, this fellow, who had already completed "mechanical ascension" in a certain sense, no longer had the concept of his true form.]

[He controls a spare soul steel body stored inside St. Freya Academy]

[Although he had given Theresa, the head of the Far East branch, considerable freedom of authority most of the time, it was clear that he could no longer sit still and had to intervene in the development of this matter personally.]

[Next, Otto used reasonable reasons to convince Theresa and others and planned to transfer Yaezakura to the Satori headquarters for treatment.]

[In terms of rhetoric, he also easily convinced them with enough reasons that only by transferring to the Destiny Headquarters could the girl be cured.]

[“——Tianming has done a lot of research on artificial stigmata. It is not too difficult to solve the problem of stigmata. However, Saint Freya’s equipment cannot support the implementation of the operation. It must be transferred to the headquarters.”]

[Although you think Otto must have other intentions, facing his high-sounding rhetoric, you really have no way to change his decision]

[After all, the blond man in front of me is the Archbishop of Destiny]

[Just like that, not long after that, the unconscious Yae Sakura was picked up by the personnel sent by the headquarters, and we parted forever.]

"..."

Mingyu opened his eyes.

Well, the future doesn’t look good. It’s better not to do this.

Well, he really didn't want Otto to come into contact with Yaezakura, and the Herrscher of Corrosion from the previous civilization who was behind Yaezakura and coexisting with her.

On the one hand, he is worried about Yaezakura's safety, but on the other hand, the Twelfth Divine Key itself is of great significance to Otto.

——As a virus that can corrode everything, the Twelfth Key of God that it will transform into in the future will naturally have considerable special attacks against networks and machines.

In other words, [Jizo Soul] can almost be called the nemesis of Otto, who relies on his soul steel body and uploading his consciousness to the cloud to survive.

No matter how many soul steel bodies were destroyed, they were just a string of numbers to the Bishop of Destiny. But if a virus corroded his soul steel body and consciousness network... that would be another matter.

Therefore, if Yae Sakura is handed over to Otto, her fate will probably not be good.

——In the original timeline, [Jizoji Soul] completely disappeared after the incident of Yaezakura was completely resolved, and did not even reappear until after crossing the end.

Mingyu had reason to suspect that it was Otto who retrieved the Key of God and hid it away afterwards.

Anyway, if there was a problem with Yaesakura's own stigmata...

"…I'm afraid it's Higashimaru's doing."

Mingyu pondered.

Apart from this, there is no other possibility.

Although Yaezakura mentioned before that she was able to suppress the Herrscher's consciousness, judging from the current situation, there might still be some trouble.

The dark Herrscher realized that she had not yet completely succumbed to humans, and was constantly thinking about taking back control of her body and continuing her mission of destroying human civilization.

Therefore, in order to solve this problem, we still have to deal with that guy, or in other words, we have to enter the holy mark space in her body.

We have to face Hiyomaru...or rather, [Jisang Soul].

So Mingyu said carefully:

"It's better not to send her to the infirmary yet. I think I know what's wrong with her."

Seeing the three girls around him looking at him curiously at the same time, Ming Yu coughed twice and repeated to the three of them the specific situation he had obtained from that thing that no longer existed.

"…Is there a problem with the stigma?"

Mei tilted her head slightly.

For them, [Stigmata] is not a strange concept.

She herself had a stigma on her body, which gave her the power to fight.

But this is the first time I have heard of the "problem with the holy marks".

Incomplete awakening of the stigmata can indeed cause problems for the human body or even lead to death. Mei herself is a good example.

Because of the awakening of the stigmata, she almost died. Implanting the Conquest Gem into her body and relying on its power to suppress the awakening of the stigmata was also a decision made by her father, Raiden Ryoma, out of necessity.

However, the cherry-colored girl on the sofa obviously does not belong to this category, and her situation is different from Mei's.

Mingyu nodded and continued to explain:

"Well, normal natural stigmata or artificial stigmata of destiny will automatically adjust according to the host's physical fitness, but in her body... that stigmata did not originally belong to her. Judging from the current situation, her consciousness should have been swallowed into the stigmata space."

As he said this, he pointed to the stigma on Yaesakura's back.

On that back as smooth as jade, the holy mark formed by three magatama is clearly visible.

This is not a natural stigmata that she was born with, nor is it an artificial stigmata that was implanted later in life. If anything, for Yaezakura herself, it is probably more like a curse.

"Then, then does that mean she will never wake up again?"

Listening to Mingyu's description, Kiana held her head in her hands and exclaimed.

As a poor student, she actually couldn't hear clearly what was said, but at least she could tell that it was definitely not a good thing.

This situation is basically the same as being in a "vegetative state". There is no consciousness, and only the body is still alive relying on physical instincts.

"No, of course there is a way to solve it."

Mingyu remembered that in the "future", Bronya seemed to have some proposals in this regard, so he set his eyes on the silver-haired girl:

"Bronya, do you have any ideas?"

"..."

The silver-haired girl thought for a moment, then nodded slightly.

She immediately returned to her room and took out two Hom-style "hats".

Judging from their appearance, they are somewhat similar to the device that Mingyu used before that could infiltrate the Destiny Database.

Of course, the functions and usage are also extremely similar.

Bronya briefly explained:

"This is the [Submerged Mind Reality Connection Device]. As long as you wear it on your head, you can connect to the stigmata on her body and enter the stigmata space to find out the cause of the abnormality."

This device is certainly not an invention of destiny, but a device from anti-entropy.

The inventors of this device are Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla.

——The Tianming family is not the only one who is studying the stigmata and Honkai energy.

Although it is much smaller than Destiny in size, Anti-Entropy has actually produced quite a lot of relevant research results.

For example, [Moonlight Throne], for example, the Herrscher's replica technology, and so on.

After explaining the functions of the equipment, Bronya looked at the three people in front of her and said nothing more, as if she was waiting for something.

Her meaning was quite clear, to select two users to use the device.

Mei nodded in sudden realization and enthusiastically recommended herself:

"I see. Please let me try."

"I want to go with Mei too!"

Kiana on the side raised her hand, wanting to join in.

There were only two infiltration devices, and there were four of them, so it was obviously not enough.

"Stupid Kiana, do you think this is a spring outing? Just stay here with Bronya and take care of her real body, and let Mingyu and Mei sneak in to deal with the problem."

As Bronya spoke, she calmly pushed away Kiana who wanted to come closer, rejecting her idea of ​​wanting to get involved.

She knew a little bit that the girl in front of her was related to Mingyu, and thought that Mingyu would definitely participate in this matter personally, so the other equipment quota should be left to him.

And, it is indeed not an easy task.

If the spirit is in the stigmata space

Considering the strength, it would be better for Mei, who has the ability of a Herrscher, and Mingyu, whose identity is mysterious in her opinion, to do this.

As for the reckless Kiana, forget it. Bronya never considered this option.

"Well, it's decided then."

Mingyu nodded and picked up another Houmu device.

If she could use Bronya's equipment to solve Yae Sakura's problem, she could avoid the consequences of Otto finding out about her existence.

Before preparing to sneak in, the three of them first moved Yaesakura from the sofa and moved her to Mei's room.

At the same time, Mei also found a set of her own pajamas and put them on Yaesakura.

- Well, in terms of figure and body shape, the cherry-colored girl is unusually similar to her, and her clothes, when put on the unconscious girl, can only be said to fit her quite well.

A virtual screen appeared next to Bronya, and she operated on the screen to complete the preparations.

After a little adjustment, Bronya said:

"Sister Mei, Mingyu, it's ok. Bronya will use the central computer to keep in touch with you."

Mingyu and Mei put on the equipment together, and then Bronya pressed the start button.

The scenery before their eyes suddenly changed.

Link Start!

Chapter 71 Mingyu is a cat

In the seventh year of Bunsho, he went to the far east, Shinano.

It was July and the weather was hot.

July is a season that farmers love and hate. Many crops are harvested at this time, but the sun shining high in the sky does not seem so friendly.

The sun is something that farmers rely on and are indispensable, but if the light it shines is too harsh, it will be disliked.

Just like now, the sun is shining on the earth, as always.
