Honkai, why do you only play high-end games?

But judging from Bianca's relatively relaxed expression and state, it didn't seem like there was any major accident, at least not in any danger.

Thinking of this, Otto no longer felt nervous, but motioned for Yu Lan Dale to follow him, then he pushed open the door and walked straight in, with Yu Lan Dale following him in.

"Ah, it's the Bishop..."

As soon as I entered the room, several researchers in lab coats, huddled together with worried expressions, immediately became aware of the situation. Their eyes lit up at first, then they said anxiously,

"Your Excellency, we have encountered some unexpected situations regarding your previous instructions..."

"Haha, don't be nervous. In the field of scientific research, you'll always encounter many unforeseen unexpected situations. Even I often feel troubled by this."

Otto smiled broadly and soothed the nervous researchers with a gentle, empathetic tone before saying,

"Now, please tell me, what is it that is causing you so much distress?"

"This one……"

Several researchers looked at each other helplessly, and one of them, probably the team leader, gritted his teeth and said,

"It's hard to explain. Bishop, please follow me and you'll understand after taking a look..."

Otto followed him into the laboratory's operating room with some curiosity. He saw a thick transparent glass wall dividing the laboratory into two parts. On the other side of the wall was the main body of the laboratory, an extremely wide and tall room built with various hard alloys. It was large enough to accommodate a Honkai Emperor to run rampant without causing serious damage.

After the second collapse, Tianming raised the security level of all his research institutes. Because of this, the testing institute belonging to the old headquarters, which generally did not undertake dangerous tasks, also had a laboratory with this level of security.

Looking through the glass wall at this time, in the huge space, there was only a lonely test bench. A black-haired young man was lying quietly on the test bench with his shirt off. Several electrodes of different colors were stuck on his chest, abdomen and arms. There were also several robotic arms of different shapes above, below, left and right, carrying various equipment and scanning around Lin Wei repeatedly.

Otto was a little confused for a moment. Everything seemed stable here and there was nothing unusual.

"Your Excellency, look here. We've tried everything. No matter what equipment we use, no matter how many times we scan, the data we get is always blank."

The team leader said with sweat on his forehead, all the screens in the laboratory did not show any data fluctuations, as if they were not doing any work at the moment;

"We've checked and there's no sign of hacking in the system. There's nothing wrong with the equipment..."

As he spoke, in order to prove his point, he waved his hand to signal a researcher to stand next to the glass wall, and then he fiddled with the console a few times; the robotic arm that was repeatedly operating around Lin Wei on the other side immediately changed its trajectory, stretched out in the direction of the operating room, and scanned the researcher through the glass wall.

Then, various data began to appear on the screen in real time.

The same thing would happen if someone else stood there, except that the data displayed would be different.

The team leader fiddled with the instruments a few more times, and they returned to their original positions—the screens went blank again.

"Oh? Interesting. It seems there's no problem with the operation of the equipment."

Otto watched the whole process with great interest, and asked in a very gentle and curious tone,

"How about turning on the electricity and trying it? Maybe giving him some intense physical stimulation would yield unexpected results?"

"Yes!"

The team leader had wanted to do this for a long time.

However, the young man in the laboratory was sent by Youlan Dale on the orders of Bishop Otto, and he dared not act without his approval. After receiving permission, he could not wait to press the command he had prepared long ago.

Then, the current readings skyrocketed, but nothing happened: not only did Lin Wei show no signs of electric shock, the data on the screen remained blank.

"Oh, let's pause."

Otto frowned, and seeing that the electric stimulation was ineffective, he stopped it immediately without hesitation.

It was just a slight test. I haven't got what I want yet, if I accidentally kill him, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

"Yes."

Since the bishop gave the order personally, the team leader naturally would not hesitate at all.

Then, Otto left the operating room, made a big turn, pushed open the secret door where the test area was located, and walked straight to Lin Wei. He squinted his eyes and looked at the sleeping face carefully. Sure enough, it was three-quarters similar to the last time they met.

"Oh, respected Mr. He Kun, it's been a long time since we last met..."

Otto was extremely angry at the guy who ruined his plan, and greeted him in a somewhat cold tone.

As the words fell, several golden feathers floated down from the void.

He was tricked by this guy last time, and this time he planned to take advantage of Lin Wei's coma to try to read his real memory.

In a state of hazy consciousness, even the mimic Yu Duchen may not be able to invade the consciousness of the Herrscher, and Otto is ready to give it a try.

If it succeeds, it will save a lot of trouble - more importantly, the life or death of the man in front of him will no longer be important, and more destructive experiments can be done.

After all, although he had conducted a relatively in-depth study on the first Acting Herrscher back then, he had not yet awakened his powers, so the research was inevitably flawed; he did not mind completing this "forced suspension" of research more than half a century later.

"Om..."

An invisible black light flashed by, instantly crushing the feathers into pieces.

Otto was startled and stepped back repeatedly, holding his breath for a long time. After making sure that Lin Wei had not made any unusual movements, he slowly relaxed.

"Haha, the Herrisher of Principle's vitality is truly tenacious. Even at this point, he can still rely on instinct to defend himself?"

Otto was amazed and clapped his hands in admiration.

"As expected of a Ruler of Reason who has lived for half a century, his development of power is truly unparalleled. Even with only instinct left, he can still accomplish so many things..."

He easily found a reasonable explanation for all the abnormalities that had just occurred.

"But... threatening?"

Otto pondered Fu Hua's previous reminder and gained some understanding.

"If we rashly perform some dangerous actions against the Ruler of Reason, triggering his instinctive resistance..."

Otto looked strange when he thought of Walter's fighting style that loved to manipulate gravity.

The Herrscher of Rock from the previous civilization ripped apart the entire Mu Continent; if the Herrscher of Principle from the current civilization, who also enjoys playing with gravity, were to let his power run wild, the Floating Island might not be able to withstand it...

After all, a sober Walter would have scruples and wouldn't do something so destructive; but an unconscious Walter is just a Herrscher.

"Ah……"

Otto smiled slightly and made a decision.

He took out a syringe and took some blood samples from Lin Wei, then turned and left, giving orders to Youlan Dell who was waiting at the door.

"Take good care of this distinguished guest for me. When he wakes up, bring him to see me at headquarters."

Otto said nonchalantly,

"Since we can't get the answer in advance, there's no harm in waiting a few days."

Anyway, he was already in his hands and couldn't escape anyway, so Otto was not in a hurry at all.

"Yes."

Youlan Dale naturally would not refuse, but after hesitating for a moment, he asked,

"Then he..."

As the man who had just saved the war in the Philippines, she felt it was inappropriate to leave him in this laboratory.

"Your concerns are somewhat valid, Bianca. As hosts here, we are supposed to make our guests feel welcome."

Otto naturally understood Youlan Dale's thoughts and agreed to her wishes.

"Well, I have an old house here. Although it's simple and crude, I think using it to entertain this guest should be enough to show some sincerity..."

Yulan Dell breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"Haha, then I'll wait for your good news."

Otto smiled slightly, holding the blood sample he had just collected, and prepared to take it back to headquarters for further testing to see if there would be any interesting discoveries.

………………

Holy Scar Space, Yae Village.

“Squeak…ah…”

The wooden door of the room was slowly pushed open, making a slight and long sound, carrying a strong flavor of the countryside and life.

A little girl with short cherry-colored hair streaked with red, a delicate figure, and a bright teardrop mole in the corner of her big, watery eyes, carried a large basin of steaming hot water with some difficulty. She carefully stepped over the threshold that was a bit high for her, walked into the house, gently placed the basin on the ground, wiped the sweat from her forehead, raised her little face, and asked with some concern,

"Sister, is my brother really okay?"

"Don't worry, Lin Wei is fine."

Sitting beside the bed, Yaezakura, who had been quietly watching Lin Wei sleeping peacefully on the bed, put down what she was holding, slowly stood up, picked up a clean towel, soaked it in hot water, wrung it out, and then gently wiped Lin Wei's peaceful sleeping face with the warm towel.

"He's just too tired. He'll wake up when he's had enough sleep..."

"Is that right?"

The little girl nodded, not quite understanding, and felt slightly relieved.

Yaezakura smiled and touched her head, then looked in another direction behind her and sighed,

"Just now, I also want to thank Miss Fu Hua for her help."

"It doesn't have to be this way."

Fu Hua's feather clone was as transparent as a phantom here, but she didn't care about it. She just shook her head calmly and said,

"You don't understand Otto's thoughts. If you allow yourself to use the Key of God recklessly, not only will you fail to help Lin Wei escape, but you will only attract his attention and interest, which will only backfire."

"...Miss Fu Hua is right."

Yaezakura was not annoyed, but smiled slightly and said gently and calmly,

"To be honest, I was already prepared. If I really had no other choice, I would just kill him with my sword. So, no matter what, I still have to thank Miss Fu Hua for helping us through this difficult time."

What she just put down was the sword that she had been holding tightly in her hand.

As for whether to use the Demon Sword or the Corrosion Key...

Yaezakura didn't hesitate at all - haha, of course she would use the one that hurts the most.

"It's all thanks to the original body that I left behind two feathers, including mine. This guy even gave one of them to you through a gift. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to meet you directly."

Fu Hua's clone looked at Lin Wei, who was sleeping comfortably on the bed, speechlessly, and shook her head and said,

"Now that Otto has been dealt with, this is all I can do. The rest will depend on his own luck after he wakes up."

At this point, Fu Hua's clone couldn't help but smile bitterly, put his hand on his forehead and shook his head.

"I just hope this guy can be smarter, more rational, and more restrained by then, and not poke holes in the sky. That would not benefit anyone. After all, the world still needs that guy Otto right now..."

Yaezakura smiled without saying anything. She didn't care about the safety of the world or the future of mankind.

On the contrary, she also wanted to teach that guy Otto a lesson.

Fu Hua's clone could somewhat see what she was thinking, but she didn't say much. That was something the original body needed to worry about, and had nothing to do with her clone.

Then, her already illusory figure gradually faded away, leaving only two glowing feathers in the air. One floated towards Lin Wei and the other floated towards Yaezakura, and then each disappeared.

Chapter 217: There must be a reason for the orchid to bear fruit

Yae Sakura watched Fu Hua's feather clone leave, and watched her transform back into feathers and sink into the depths of consciousness. After a brief pause, she picked up a new towel, soaked it in the hot water basin with ease, and wrung it out. She said gently to the little girl who was waiting quietly by her side,

"You've worked so hard. Come, let me wipe your sweat off."

As he spoke, he carefully picked up the warm towel and prepared to wipe away the fine sweat oozing from her forehead and nose. Everything was as if he had returned to the time five hundred years ago.

The little girl was as obedient as a kitten, squinting her eyes and enjoying the delicate touch of water brushing across her forehead and cheeks. Then she slowly opened her eyes and took the towel that Yae Sakura was about to take back. She looked at her with concern and whispered,

"Sister, don't force yourself anymore. Go and get some rest. I'll be here to take good care of you..."

As she spoke, she straightened her petite body, hoping to give her equally exhausted sister more confidence in herself.

Yaezakura smiled slightly, nodded, and accepted her kindness; then she turned her head and quietly looked at Lin Wei's peaceful sleeping face on the bed, shook her head again, and said softly,

"Wait a little longer, it's not the right time yet... Don't worry, sister is fine."

This is the Holy Mark Space, and the one sleeping here is naturally Lin Wei's consciousness; and at this moment Yae Sakura is also very weak, tired, and drowsy.

Because the real Lin Wei in the real world was still lying on that extremely dangerous experimental table. She couldn't rest until the crisis was completely over, so she forced herself to cheer up and tried her best to maintain her consciousness.

In fact, if it weren't for Fu Hua and Anna's timely help, she might have already completely sunk into despair along with Lin Wei.

After all, not long ago in Manila, Lin Wei was like a moth to a flame, risking his life and almost burning everything he had, and finally miraculously quelled the world-destroying flood.

As the stigmata that connected his life, Yaezakura herself was naturally part of the "everything" that was burned...

At the last moment when everything was finally settled and Lin Wei was about to die, the feather that Fu Hua had left in Lin Wei's consciousness appeared on its own initiative. With a sigh, and with the cooperation of Pandora, it forcibly cut off the connection between Lin Wei's consciousness and body, and then emitted a pink glow, soothing and stabilizing his somewhat cracked consciousness like the spring sunshine.

But this only delayed Lin Wei's death for a moment, because as the power of the stigma was exhausted, Lin Wei's body, which was overdrawn mentally and physically, was rapidly and unstoppably eroded by the surging wave of collapse energy.
