After visiting a few more rooms, the two came to a laboratory marked "Spiritual Engineering Center".
This room was larger than the others Sakura had visited before. The most eye-catching feature was undoubtedly the tall red and black obelisk in the center of the room, but it was empty and no one was there.
At this time, Aozaki Touko and Shion were located closer to the inside of the room.
When she followed Qin Xuan inside, Ying was startled by the lab tables operated by the two ladies.
It was a naked woman's body. No, it was more like an incomplete female corpse. Under the moist dermis were blood-red muscles, and in some places they were connected to incomplete nerves and bones.
The two operators ignored the torso and focused their attention on the head. Apparently, the head seemed to be opened as well. Sakura didn't dare to look at what kind of horrific brain scene was inside.
"I'm sorry," Qin Xuan didn't expect the two of them to start fighting right in the central office. "Ying, that one over there is a puppet, not alive. This is the style of the Grand Puppet Master. You'll get used to it."
"Ah, ah, it turns out it was fake. It's okay, I'm actually fine." Ying patted her chest lightly.
Nonsense, you were so scared that tears came out of the corners of your eyes.
Sakura was already 13 years old at this time. Although she was still young, she had received orthodox magician education. She skillfully used self-suggestion to quickly calm herself down.
"By the way, you just mentioned that the Grand Puppet Master, could it be..."
"Look, the red-haired one is the legendary puppeteer Aozaki Touko, and the one next to her is Shion Eltnam Atlasia, the alchemist of Atlas Academy and the candidate for the next dean."
So, so strong!
Sakura recalled the education she received at the Edelfeldt household, and understood the significance of titles like "crown" and "candidate for president of the Institute." In layman's terms, these titles meant the heir to a world-class research institute or a talented academic genius who had long been famous and accomplished.
"So what are they doing...?"
"To be a container, to hold a genius who is equal to many geniuses."
Qin Xuan did not say it explicitly, the origins of these people in Honkai Impact 3rd are not public to the current world, but they need a puppet container that can move.
In addition, ordinary scientists do not have high requirements for the strength of the container. What Qin Xuan needs is their talents. Except for some people with special talents, they need specially adjusted bodies.
One of them was the body of Mebius who had undergone a similar operation as Aleister. The one in front of him was the body of Velvet who was undergoing the operation.
In order to allow Weiwei to maintain the level of "eight geniuses", Qin Xuan specially commissioned Ziyuan and Chengzi to cooperate in special adjustments to the brain. The standard was to adopt Ayuan's unique "split thinking" and "accelerated thinking" technology that uses the human body as a calculation device.
At this time, Shion was instructing Orange on how to cut his thinking circuits, while connecting to the "Spiritual Engineering Laboratory" to import the entire technical process.
Orange had no objection. It was a good thing to be able to taste Ayuan's unique skills. They were highly focused, so they ignored Qin Xuan and Ying who were standing next to them.
After a long time, Orange successfully modulated another circuit and breathed a sigh of relief. "It's really troublesome. I have to make eight thinking circuits... I remember that the best dean of your Atlas Academy (Zbia) could only make eight parts, right?"
"Yes." Shion responded calmly.
"..." Orange felt that this alchemist was good in every way except that he was too serious. He was completely in line with rules except for those he knew. "By the way, it seems that Xuan came here with someone, and he just left again."
"Eh?" The alchemist finally had an expression that was different from the serious one.
--------
At this time, Qin Xuan led Ying to a laboratory of relatively ordinary specifications. The other dolls did not require so much trouble, so Qin Xuan did it by himself.
"number 17."
In the cabin where the materials had been prepared, the program began to operate——
[Spirit Engineering Laboratory, Started]
[Specifications: Excellent grade doll]
[Enter body parameters, synthesis begins]
【…】
【Connection Theory Reaction Database】
[Filling the standard psychic body and injecting spiritual data]
【……Finish】
After a moment, No. 17 responded: "The puppet's quality has passed the inspection."
"Okay, let's cut off the hibernation spell and wake them up."
Sakura, who was standing next to her, stared in amazement as several dolls were prepared in just a few minutes. Compared to Orange's advanced operation just now, she was more shocked.
Qin Xuan sent a message to the cabin channel: "Dear doctors, the new world has arrived. Congratulations, it's a good time now."
Chapter 102 This is common sense, my doctor
——"Everyone, see you in the future (new world)."
That's what the voice that claimed to be collapsing and disappearing and the world ending said.
Tesla didn't believe it at first, or it was hard for normal people to believe it, but this absurd development actually happened: Honkai energy no longer existed, and the world fell into stagnation.
Then, her consciousness fell into pure darkness and she lost all external perception. Until now, after waking up again, she saw an unfamiliar scene before her eyes.
The surroundings reflected the cold white light. She was lying in a semi-enclosed cabin. Her hands and feet seemed to have never moved. They were incredibly numb and stiff, and her skin had no temperature. She was like a vegetative person who had been paralyzed in bed for years.
Tesla realized that this was definitely not her original body.
Then a sentence sounded in my mind, no, it came from some connected device. Is this the new world? Is this the end?
What exactly is the difference between one world and another? Perhaps the researchers on the other side to whom the original world snake belonged will have some superficial understanding, but whether it is the world bubble in the quantum sea or the other worlds on the other side of the imaginary numbers, they are nothing more than different derivatives of the same world group (worldview) system.
Crossing the worldview means completely different possibilities. Su, who was reborn as an awakened being, is an example, not to mention Qin Xuan himself, a time traveler.
However, this level is still too advanced to be studied as a subject. If there is no sufficient exploration of this world, there is no way to talk about external expansion.
At this time, Tesla climbed out of the cabin. Although his limbs were stiff and he did not feel alive, he felt as if he was being controlled by strings and had gained flexible movements.
"What on earth is this..." Tesla recalled the words "You are saved as data". Is this a body made after uploading consciousness? As for the feeling of being controlled, it goes without saying that this is a means of control. Otherwise, why would they be so kind to send them to the new world?
"——This is puppetry." A familiar voice sounded in her ears, and Tesla saw a boy about 14 years old, who was the one who answered her question. Next to the boy stood a girl with purple hair.
Tesla wanted to ask something else, but she felt strangely being controlled - her mouth could not move.
In front of Tesla was her old acquaintance Dr. Chicken Coop Hair, and behind her was a woman she didn't recognize wearing an Egyptian jackal mask. There were people in front and behind, forming a long snake-like team, walking out of the room one by one and moving forward along the corridor.
"arrive."
That young man——Qin Xuan said, and then the long line stopped immediately like an army.
"Ying, go to the game room first. If you get bored alone, you can find Elquet."
"Good~"
The girl named Sakura left soon.
Qin Xuan then opened the door of a nearby room and said, "Everyone, please go in and take a seat."
Although it was a "please", their bodies still moved on their own.
What caught their eyes were neatly arranged tables, chairs and podiums, just like the classrooms they had in their school days.
Qin Xuan watched Einstein, Tesla, Jackal, Changguang and other leaders of the Honkai Organization's research institutes take their seats one by one, closed the door, introduced himself, and then said: "As you think, this is a small means of control, which is indispensable in the early stages of development. You come from different organizations with conflicting philosophies, but only by uniting in the same camp can the continuation of mankind be guaranteed."
"As for why there is no collapse, and why humans still have to face the issue of continuity, this has something to do with the world itself."
"Before we begin to formally explain how we act in this world, you need a lesson on the 'common sense' (setting) of this world."
Is that normal? There are some differences between the worlds.
"First, you need to know that planets (worlds) have their own laws. The world we live in is only the surface of the planet. The physical laws discovered by humans only apply to the area from the surface to the sky (under the deep space)."
"This planet also has a dorsal side. That world has the same coordinates as the surface side, but the two are unrelated. That world is where gods, fantasy species, elves and other non-human species live. The reason why the people (primates) of this world can occupy the surface is that those 'non-humans' gave the surface to humans."
The first sentence made Tesla feel something shattered, as if he was listening to a fairy tale story.
"Incredible, what is the ecological environment of the back world like? Are there stable laws?" Einstein asked next to her, and she seemed to accept it as a matter of course.
“This has nothing to do with this lecture.”
Tesla found that he could speak again, and hurriedly asked: "The scope of application of the laws of physics is not a joke, right? If so, how do we develop in this world?" If a planet has different laws, if the universe and other planets are completely different worlds, this is equivalent to locking the upward space.
"Senior Tesla, perhaps the world on the back is the breakthrough? I am quite interested in imaginary creatures." Changguang interrupted.
"Ah? Who are you?" Do we know each other?
"Hi, I'm Elizabeth Changguang McSmith, the former head of the Tianming Saint 1504 Changguang Seventeenth Institute."
"Original..." Tesla could understand the meaning of these words. Aren't you showing your loyalty too quickly?
She was thinking about what to say when a message interrupted her - it was as if a document appeared out of thin air in front of her, and the information screen floated in front of her. When she clicked it, it was the lecture notes just now.
"Okay," Qin Xuan watched them discuss casually. Anyway, there are insurance measures in place, and there will be many opportunities to slowly learn more in the future. Being able to climb to this position shows that everyone is smart, and there is no point in making up stories. "The specific information has been sent to you. You are all not stupid, so I won't explain it in detail."
"As for other common sense about the planet (world), go and read it yourself. Next is the Root Vortex...then the Quantum Recording Belt...magic and magic...magic organizations..."
--------
In the London Clock Tower, on this day, the monarchs went to meet the Mage Marshal Barthelmero as scheduled.
A wanted order from the Holy Sepulchre Church was issued to them, showing a middle-aged man wearing a Scottish military uniform and a wizard's hat.
"No identification information?"
"No," Lorelai explained the situation of the Holy Church. "This is information detected by the owner of the Magic Eye. The credibility is guaranteed, but the other party fell into a coma after providing information about his appearance. It seems that there is something wrong with the Magic Eye."
Chapter 103 "The Golden Dawn is a second-rate organization"
Lord Baruyereta asked: "There is no information... but we can still search for a magician with the same appearance through the 'library', right?"
Each department in the Clock Tower has a library made up of information and books. For example, the important information that Weber referred to when investigating the Holy Grail War came from the library of the Euripides family in the Spirit Advent Department. There is even an early paper by Machiri Zorgen on the research of the Realm Record Band Summoning.
As the department that "manages magicians", the Law and Politics Department must store a considerable amount of personal files on magicians.
"That's right, Samuel Reed McQueen Mathers. Does anyone have any impression of this name?"
"Well... that was the 19th century, when the spiritual society was founded," Monarch Ulysses recalled. However, his next words showed that his attitude was not friendly, "... the chaotic magic ideas, and they also tried to establish their own schools, lower the academic threshold, and create more new age."
Ulysses is undoubtedly an orthodox aristocratic magician, and his attitude basically represents the attitude of the aristocratic faction towards the commoners who have split up their families and have no aristocratic blood: the aristocrats are the only human beings, and it is only they who need to reach the root, and the other magicians are nothing more than a group of people who want to compete with the aristocrats for the mysterious maggots and cattle and horses, and they can be abandoned at any time.
In this world where large magic organizations such as the Clock Tower, Atlas Academy, Wandering Sea, Spiral Hall, and Mountain Court control the resources, small associations such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn do not have much room for development.
The Golden Dawn of this world did spread a large number of occult works and gained great influence, but their spiritual practices did not change the landscape of civilian magicians, let alone the landscape of the magical world.
Because compared to the emphasis on knowledge in Magical Index, Type-Moon's magic practice focuses more on resources. Mystery is declining, and the wider it spreads, the weaker it becomes. This makes magicians more willing to let their own family inherit it, rather than forming an association to explore the mysteries of magic.
Even the huge Clock Tower organization with branches all over the world is essentially a union of the twelve monarch families. The monarch families have relied on the Clock Tower's reputation and sucked the blood of the lower classes to stand firm for thousands of years.
Even the Atlas Academy has the "Six Source" family, and the Wandering Sea is divided into "Five Gates".
From ideas to systems, these are all for maintaining the existence of old things rather than innovative and progressive things. Therefore, conservative forces in the magician community are the mainstream.
Therefore, the monarchs did not care much about Mathers and his small organization. Besides, a magician could change his appearance at will, and it might not be his own, but someone else of the same era.
As for the issue of age, it is definitely not a problem for magicians from the 19th century to live to the present day. Not to mention that magicians can manipulate their apparent age by themselves, their actual lifespan can also be solved by magic drugs used to prolong life. Taking drug dependence into consideration, their actual lifespan can be extended by about 100 years.
The monarchs simply skipped over it and went straight to the next key point: "Intelligence shows that the two teams of agents were easily defeated. Was it through an ambush through a large magic ritual prepared in advance?"
"Not sure."
The Holy Church cannot, and may not intend to, provide detailed information. We can only speculate that magicians have all the tricks they need. Even if Mathers attacked without any preparation, his magic may not have surpassed modern magic. After all, Orange, the Grand Puppet Master, can fight against Servants and magicians of the Age of Gods, not to mention the current Mage Marshal in front of him.
"Okay," Lorelai tapped the table, "These are not valuable points. I received a message from the Atlas Institute yesterday: In a mountain village, an ultimate weapon was taken away by an unknown magician. Their dispatched personnel are tracking it. The incident took place just a few kilometers away from where Mathers attacked the Cathedral."
"...!"
When it came to the ultimate weapon, everyone's attitude finally became serious. After all, it was a weapon that had the power to destroy the world. If it was taken away by Mathers or other lone magicians, it could easily cause a huge disaster.
"That's all I have to say. I will send someone to investigate the matter in the near future. Please help me, my Lords, and track down the criminals. Please notify me immediately if there is any progress."
As to whether the criminals would be bold enough to set their sights on the Clock Tower, the monarchs had not thought about it.
--------
London suburbs.
From here, with an enhanced vision, the sparkling Thames River runs through a large area of the city, and countless pedestrians walk across large and small river bridges. These water features and human flows form broad and complex causal lines, continuing the prosperous scene of the world's magic center that has not changed since 1200 AD.
Among them, the most iconic one should be the building in the suburbs of London that resembles the Houses of Parliament (Big Ben), which is the First Subject: General Basic Subject (Mistir).
