The Honkai Simulator is not used to kidnap Herrscher!

Chen Ran felt that he couldn't seem to get around Theresa.

Oh, no, he has another choice.

That is the one who contacted the World Serpent.

This might be a way to avoid being discovered by Theresa.

Chen Ran didn’t know where Alicia was now, but the World Snake was Kevin’s subordinate, so he should know of his existence.

At times like this, the World Serpent can also be his helper.

The premise is to not let the jackal interfere at will.

However, that situation is a last resort. If the Jackal knew about Kiana's specialness, there's no guarantee he would make plans.

There was visible anxiety in his eyes until the Hyperion returned to the airport again.

...

...

"Should I believe him?"

In Hyperion, Kiana subconsciously asked Bronya for help.

She didn't have many friends in Saint Freya, and didn't know anyone except Theresa and Shigure Kirara.

As for the encounter with Chen Ran, she instinctively felt that she should not tell her elders, so she subconsciously asked for help from Bronya who had helped her.

Bronya shook her head: "Bronya doesn't know, but Bronya can feel that he is dangerous."

From beginning to end, she was not moved by Chen Ran's words.

Kiana was a little confused: "It's very dangerous, is he lying?"

"Bronya thinks he must have told the truth, but just concealed some possible consequences."

She said directly, "What he said is true. You should be careful, Kiana. You will be used as a weapon against the Herrscher."

"If that's the case, it's actually pretty good."

Kiana held back and didn't say this.

The girl's eyes clearly showed that she was considering the pros and cons.

Bronya looked into Kiana's eyes and couldn't help but feel worried.

She didn't know why, but she had only spent a short time with Kiana, but she always felt that the girl's face was very familiar.

It's like I've seen it before.

But Bronya was certain that there was no one named Kiana involved in her life in the past.

She guarded her complicated thoughts, waiting for Hyperion to land in the Far East Branch's airport.

Kiana couldn't wait to get off Hyperion, and then she heard someone calling her.

"Kiana."

"Aunt Qiluo."

Kiana looked at Shigure Kirara and couldn't help but smile: "Aunt Kirara, what's the matter?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask if this is your first time participating in an operation. Are you adapting well?"

Shigure Kirara followed the Hyperion but did not take action.

She is now a Destined A-rank Valkyrie, capable of reaching S-rank, but has not taken the test to move up.

Cecilia is missing, and she needs to take care of Kiana on Cecilia's behalf.

"I'm used to it. Don't worry about me, Aunt Qiluo." Kiana said seriously, "I've grown up, Aunt Qiluo."

"Alas, even though you've grown up, don't keep calling me auntie, or I'll be very sad."

Shigure Kirara paused, then walked up to Kiana and ruffled her hair: "Come on, stay strong, everything will be fine."

"Ah."

There was a hint of determination in Kiana's eyes.

At this moment, she seemed to think of something and asked Shi Yu Qiluo: "Aunt Qiluo, I have something to ask you."

"Aunt Silin became a Herrscher to find her mother, right?"

Shigure Kirara hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Lady Cecilia disappeared into the imaginary space outside the subspace. Only the Herrscher of the Void can reach that place."

"But don't think about it, Xilin... Alas, even if she can control herself now, she won't come back."

The Snow Wolf Squad refused to participate in the crusade against Xilin.

But that doesn't mean they will agree with what Xilin does.

The casualties caused by Xilin were too great. Even Shigure Qiluo had no way to say good things to Xilin or show her affirmation under such circumstances.

Kiana was silent for a moment: "Then, people will definitely go to the moon, right?"

"We must go." Shigure Kirara said firmly.

"People cannot leave their fate to the Herrscher's preferences. This is the consensus of everyone."

"I understand."

In response to Shigure Kirara's words, she also made up her mind.

"Aunt Qiluo, I have something else to do. Goodbye!"

Under Shigure Kirara's surprised gaze, Kiana ran away.

Bronya was among the students, watching Kiana talking to Kirara Shigure, and then left.

She couldn't give Kiana any effective advice, so she decided to give herself some more time to think.

...

...

That evening, at St. Freya's Fountain Square.

Kiana was bathed in the moonlight, with a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

It wasn't until she heard footsteps and looked over that she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why did you come here?"

Kiana frowned and said, "I hate it when people are not punctual."

Chen Ran sighed: "Don't mention it, I have been looking for an unnoticed factory this afternoon and evening."

Then he said bluntly: "I'm afraid I need to borrow some money from you."

"doing what?"

"Purchase equipment." Chen Ran said confidently.

When Hyperion arrived in Saint Freya, Kiana immediately found Chen Ran and agreed to the deal.

Then, she felt that she was about to be defeated by Chen Ran.

"Although we have reached a preliminary understanding, we currently lack a venue, funds, and equipment to purchase." Chen Ran said confidently, "The salary offered by Tianming is too low, and I live paycheck to paycheck."

After Kiana found him, he was indeed thinking about where would be the best place to make the God-Slaying Spear.

However, he found that unless he contacted Otto directly, there was no suitable place.

But in the end, he really thought of a place: a regular biological laboratory.

Collecting blood does not require very advanced equipment and can be done in a regular hospital or school laboratory.

The same is true for extracting serum to make the God-killing Gun.

With this idea in mind, he realized that he only needed to find a biological laboratory and obtain the right to use it.

There are many places like this as long as you have money to pave the way.

However, the system gave Chen Ran an identity, but did not match the corresponding money.

Kiana: "..."

"I should still have some money left by my father and mother, but I don't know if it's enough."

"Don't worry, I've already negotiated the three-day use rights of the private laboratory. It costs $20,000 for four days." Chen Ran said directly, looking straight at her.

Kiana nodded, and then used the communicator to transfer her money to Chen Ran.

"Okay, now everything is ready."

Chen Ran narrowed his eyes slightly and grabbed Kiana's wrist: "Don't make a sound next time."

"Then, take off."

A strong wind blew over, and Kiana instinctively closed her eyes.

The wind whistled in her ears, and Kiana was forced to close her eyes, but she was secretly surprised in her heart.

It's not that she hasn't experienced flying inside Tianming, but it's the first time for her to fly like Chen Ran, almost taking off from the ground without any protective armor.

She had too many questions to ask.

Chen Ran's background, his relationship with Cecilia and Xilin, his abilities...

But Kiana didn't ask any of these questions.

She was smart enough to sense that Chen Ran was a man with many secrets, and what Chen Ran said was not wrong. Using 100cc of blood in exchange for a possibility was indeed a very cost-effective deal.

Even if nothing happened in the end, she just contributed some blood.

She didn't trust Chen Ran, she just instinctively didn't want to cause more trouble.

Soon, Kiana felt herself falling to the ground.

She opened her eyes and saw a desolate place.

Chen Ran smiled and said, "We can't fly directly over the city, otherwise Tianming will track us down. Just treat me as an illegal resident."

"But this place is not far from the city. There is a good university nearby. Extracting and culturing blood only requires the university's laboratory."

In essence, the biggest difficulty in making the God-killing Spear itself is not the manufacturing process, but the raw materials.

Once the raw material problem is solved, any regular biology graduate student can make the God-killing Gun.

The greatest contribution of Dr. Maki, who defected from Tianming, was not the creation of Shaniyat's serum, but the discovery of the function of Shaniyat's blood and the mixing of the optimal ratio.

By the time Kiana and Chen Ran found the location of the university, it was already two o'clock in the morning.

A cold wind blew, and she subconsciously asked, "It's so late, is there anyone here?"

“Don’t underestimate the allure of $20,000.”

Twenty thousand dollars is just a drop in the bucket for a university.

But what if the person he was contacting was actually a lab administrator?

This money does not need to be reported, so the profits are his.

Chen Ran always knew where to start. Sometimes, the formal channels were slow to move forward because they opened the door to other channels.

Sure enough, someone was already waiting here.

"Why did you come just now? I thought you were playing a trick on me."

"Twenty thousand dollars, you're responsible for resolving the identity issue, four days."

Chen Ran simply transferred all the money.

The man immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, the biology lab hasn't been used for a long time. Who among the teachers and students nowadays would still do experiments?"

A bunch of keys was given to Chen Ran.

After the man left, Kiana subconsciously said, "Can that man be trusted?"

"It doesn't matter. He doesn't know Theresa."

Chen Ran smiled and said, "Twenty thousand dollars is a lot of money. Why would you bother yourself with such a windfall?"

A complex expression flashed across Kiana's eyes: "It will be very painful for anyone to become your enemy."

Although she didn't know much about politics, Chen Ran's speculation and manipulation of human nature made her feel suffocated.
