The Terra Travel Diary of Neither Sacred, Rhea, nor Terra

It is strange because the horns on this little girl's head are more like a pair of artificial horns made of multi-faceted crystals than the animal-shaped horns of other Terrans.

The little tail held under the little girl also has the same multi-faceted crystal shape.

Because it had only been a short time since the sleeping pills were injected, even if the awakening potion was injected immediately afterwards, it would take some time for the effect of the drug to wear off.

The dazed little girl was tied to the bed with basic restraint belts by several researchers in white coats and masks without any ability to struggle.

"Parvis! Stop the human chimera research immediately." Seeing this scene, Saria immediately rushed to Parvis and shouted.

Saria believed that Parvez must have learned about the order to stop the project from Hemer.

If you still want to do this, you must ignore her orders and force the experiment.

Especially from Ifrit's current limp state, it can be seen that this forced experiment did not

What's the use.

"Long time no see, Commander Kristen."

Parvis, still holding a cup of coffee in his hand, first greeted Christine who was following behind Saria.

Apart from a hint of surprise in his eyes, the old goat was not too moved by Kristen's current appearance.

After greeting Kristen, Parvis said to Saria in a serious tone:

"Director Saria, you are illegally interfering in other departments' projects. I protest against this."

"As the director of Rhine Life's defense department, I have the authority to make temporary decisions on all of Rhine Life's experimental projects." Facing Parvis' questioning, Saria said without flinching.

"Then I need a detailed written report to determine whether the temporary ruling power you exercised, Director Saria, was an abuse of power."

Parvez once again questioned Saria's procedurality in a strong voice.

Seeing that Parvez would rather use the procedure, a method that was almost a break-up, to allow the experiment to continue, Saria paused for a moment and said:

"The temporary ruling power of the Rhine Life Science Defense Department is based on the Defense Department's responsibility for safety assessment of experimental projects. I use my authority as the director of the Defense Department to ask the Structural Department to adjust the treatment plan and submit it to the Defense Department for re-evaluation."

Saria's meaning was simple. Since Parvez asked her to provide a written report, she could use this method to delay time and continue the experiment.

Then, Saria asked for a suspension of the experiment on the grounds of re-conducting a safety assessment.

This back and forth process reminded Miku of the time when he was dealing with bureaucracy in heaven.

Kristen, who was watching the same scene as Miku, did not say anything. It seemed that Kristen's lack of direct expression gave Parvis confidence.

The old goat did not continue to dwell on the procedural issues, but said directly:

"Is your request really unreasonable? Or in your eyes, Ifrit has lost her value in treatment and her life or death is no longer important?"

"I am questioning whether this project is really for treatment. If the Structural Department can no longer be responsible for the safety of the patient and Rhine's life, then the Defense Department will replace Ifrit with a suitable treatment institution."

Saria completely ignored the language trap set by Parvez and expressed her own opinion.

Parvis, realizing that his tactics were completely useless against Saria, looked at Commander Kristen.

All he saw was that while he was confronting Saria, Christen walked to the window with a stranger who seemed to be her new assistant, looking down at the experimenters who were busy below.

Due to good sound insulation and no notification broadcast turned on, the busy experimenters did not notice what was happening above their heads.

Seeing that Kristen still had no intention of intervening, Parvis showed a slightly dissatisfied look, and then said to Saria in a slow tone:

"Director Saria, I expressed at the beginning of the treatment that this was an adventure."

"That's why I specifically applied to the General Administrator for permission for experimental treatment."

"If the structural department is unable to proceed with treatment according to the established plan due to your intervention."

"The Structural Engineering Department cannot bear all the consequences alone."

“This needs to be reported to the General Administration for approval.”

"It just so happens that the General Manager is here. If you insist, let her make the decision."

After saying that, Parvis turned his gaze back to Kristen.

However, to Parvis's surprise, Saria did not shift her firepower to Kristen as he had expected.

Instead, his expression remained silent for a moment, then he took two steps towards the window, stood a little distance behind Kristen and Miku, and looked at the laboratory below.

Ifrit, who was lying on the hospital bed, came to her senses and saw Saria from her perspective. She wanted to raise her limp arms to say hello, but found herself tied to the bed with several leather belts.

These belts seemed to have touched the deepest fear in the heart of this little Terra girl with strange horns.

He struggled on the hospital bed.

The researcher at the side immediately pressed Ifrit down, and then tried to insert the infusion needle into the little girl's arm.

"Stop!" Saria's voice penetrated the fireproof, explosion-proof and soundproof glass, causing the researchers to pause slightly.

The researcher looked up in confusion and was immediately shocked by the appearance of Chief Christen. Then he realized that this robot was their boss.

They quickly stopped what they were doing and stood aside obediently.

"Show the progress of the experiment to Saria, Parvis." Christen, who finally spoke, said to Parvis.

"Okay, Commander." Parvis nodded, put down the coffee cup that seemed to be stuck to his hand, picked up a tablet terminal, opened one of the documents and handed it to Saria.

When Saria took the tablet and read the progress of the experiment, Kristen asked Miku in the private chat channel:

"Do you know this little girl?"

"Are you asking whether this little girl will be mine in the future?" Miku asked in the private chat channel.

"A little curious." Although this Christen is the Christen of this timeline, after accepting the future

After reconciling their own memories, they can basically be considered the same person.

But there will still be some ways of thinking that are different from your future self.

For example, if it was Christine, who had achieved her ideal and let go of many things, she would not have remained silent until now.

This subtle difference was left by Miku on purpose for her. It was because of knowing this subtle difference that Christen brought Miku and Saria here.

"It should be, but I only remember that in my memory fragments, I called this child Charmander." Miku said to Kristen.

As for the rest of the memory fragments, such as no loss on one grid and huge profit on two grids, Miku did not tell Christen.

"I'm really curious about whether there are any other people from Rhine Life that you haven't poached besides Yara and little Justin." Christen, who confirmed from Miku that the experimental subject in front of her was a future member of Rhodes Island, sighed in the private chat channel.

In addition, there is Hemer, who was also regarded by Miku as the future operator of Rhodes Island.

Perhaps Saria left Rhine Life just to allow Rhodes Island to rescue Ifrit, the little fire dragon.

"I didn't recruit this old goat." Miku said to Kristen with a smile in the private chat channel, "And neither did you."

Miku didn't think it was a big deal that he didn't recruit the old goat next to him, because the old goat was just an ordinary mad scientist.

But Miku felt a little regretful for not being able to recruit a great scientist like Kristen who was crazy enough to be called a pioneer of civilization.

Perhaps the self in this world will send Saria to stop Christen's ascension... Literally "ascending" means to forcibly recruit her to Rhodes Island, right?

"At least now you're done..." Although there are some details in her thinking that are different from her future self, Christen in different timelines came to the same conclusion that she has been "owned" by Miku.

As for whether it has become a so-called "pet dog", that is another matter.

"I'm working at Rhine Life now too." Miku said, guessing what Christen was thinking.

"This time, I have the upper hand." Kristen also said with a smile in the private chat channel.

Saria, who didn't know that Miku and Kristen were already chatting thousands of miles away in a private chat channel, quickly glanced at the research progress and her expression gradually became angry.

With a "bang", the terminal was slammed onto the test console next to it. Saria said to Parvis angrily:

“Give me real experimental data.”

"What are you talking about, Director Saria? I, Parvis, have never falsified experimental data in my life." Parvis immediately blew his beard and glared, even though the old goat did not have a beard.

"Give it to her, Parvis." Christen said to Parvis after coming back to her senses from the private chat thousands of miles away.

Parvis, whose eyes were wide open just now because his professional ethics were questioned, became serious like a master of face-changing after hearing what Kristen said.

"Sure enough..." Although she was mentally prepared, Parvis's reaction still made Saria reveal a trace of sadness.

There is a saying in Colombia that when you see a Originium worm on a farm, it means there are a lot of Originium worms on your farm.

If an experimental project is signed and approved by Saria herself and supervised by her for a long time, there will be people behind her back.

Then there are hundreds of experimental projects, large and small, going on every moment in Rhine's life.

How many unknown dark corners are there in there?

Saria couldn't help but wonder what Rhine Life had become now. Was it still the future she and Kristen once enjoyed?

Because of her inner sadness, Saria did not open the data terminal immediately after receiving it from Parvis.

Parvez, who did not insist on continuing the experiment, walked aside.

The old goat even wanted to leave here now to give space to the two people who were open and honest.

However, in order to avoid a frank conversation turning into a fight, Parvez, who was planning to act as a peacemaker, gave up the idea and stayed in the room.

By the way, take a look at what General Kristen looks like now.

117: It’s time for the brave man to tease the hungry dragon

Without lamenting for too long, Saria picked up the second terminal and slammed it on the table again in even less time than before.

This time it was obvious that Saria forgot to control herself, or deliberately used the lack of control over her own strength to express her inner anger, so that the screen of the terminal that she slammed on the table shattered directly.

Fortunately, no one present expressed regret for the terminal. Important information cannot be stored in only one terminal.

Saria reacted so violently because the file in the terminal started by introducing what was implanted in Ifrit's body.

It is not a "special Originium" that can absorb Originium particles at the lesion site by injecting special drugs.

But it is a fragment of the "Flame Demon".

Although the Fire Demon, one of the Sarkaz, has long been extinct in this land, the uniqueness of this race is still recorded.

Their skills in using fire and Originium are no less than those of the Drak clan, and they have a natural affinity for Originium.

Every Fire Demon, while alive, is like a moving Originium fuel furnace.

People's initial use of Originium may have been based on the way the Fire Demon used it.

"When?" Saria asked Christen with a glimmer of hope.

Saria now very much hopes that Christen will tell her that she will continue to let Parvis conduct human chimera therapy experiments, only because Parvis discovered the fragments of the Balrog in Ifrit's body when he was treating him.

The "Flame Project" mentioned in the terminal that was just activated

But as soon as she said this, Saria knew that her thoughts were just wishful thinking.

Just by taking a quick look at the terminal, Saria realized that it was too much of a coincidence that she rescued Ifrit from the ruins of Hayden Pharmaceuticals' laboratory and brought her to the Rhine Life headquarters, and then happened to meet Parvis who was preparing to conduct a human chimera experiment.

The coincidence seemed to be arranged.

Just when Saria was thinking about Hayden Pharmaceuticals, Christen, who was standing by the French window, asked Saria in a quiet tone:

"You still remember Hayden Pharmaceuticals."

"Of course I remember. Are you trying to tell me that you and Parvis have been following the experiment of Hayden Pharmaceuticals?"

If Saria remembered correctly, the news of the explosion at Hayden Pharmaceutical Laboratory was also delivered to her by the secretary of Mayor Tremont's office by coincidence.

All of this seemed as if there was a hand in the dark that deliberately guided Saria to save Ifrit, and then mobilized the power of the Defense Department to support Parvis' experiment.

For example...because it was a project that was personally signed and approved by the Defense Department, Saria often went to the Structural Department to monitor the progress of the project.

So much so that the Defense Department did not initiate a regular project safety assessment of the experiment.

"No..." Knowing that her best friend had figured out a lot of things, Kristen shook her head and said a name:

"Hayden Ramt, owner of Hayden Pharmaceuticals."

"Huh? Could it be that this person is not dead?" Saria asked with a focused gaze.

As the person in charge of the investigation into the accident at Hayden Pharmaceuticals' No. 1 laboratory, Saria knew the person with this name. The ending in the investigation report was a human-shaped pile of charcoal in the office.

Could it be that the boss of Hayden Pharmaceuticals knew that failure was inevitable, so he used this method to escape debt?

"No." As a result, Kristen shook her head again to deny Saria's guess, and said something that shocked Saria:

"This person does not exist. Or to be more precise, this name and ID is a repairman from a pioneering team that has been missing for a long time."

"..." It took a second for Saria to understand what Kristen meant. She asked with an unpleasant expression:

"So those investors? Didn't they choose to disappear because of bankruptcy?"
