The Honkai Simulator is not used to kidnap Herrscher!

Fate has its own inertia and ability to converge, like wolves, sheep, and grass in a stable environment. It regulates its numbers without requiring any human intervention.

What you and I are doing is adding variables to the foreseeable future, thereby influencing the past.

[Under the influence of these variables, I will try to add variables based on this time and find the most likely path to defeating Honkai. Of course, if the host defeats Honkai, all plans will be invalidated.]

Chen Ran: "Thank you for your honesty."

The simulation that the system refers to is something that has not happened from his current timeline.

And standing in the simulated scene at that time is what happened.

From this point of view, he has actually changed the future. However, he will change the changed future again at this time, so it can be regarded as not happening.

Just like there are multiple choices for a person's destiny, the system only helps Chen Ran present more choices in the future.

"But now we're screwed."

【not at all. 】

The system responded to him indifferently.

[The systems before me had even more complex situations, but what you are dealing with is simply the time shock caused by the Möbius strip.]

Chen Ran: "The system before you? Are there really 665 before you?"

【…】

"Okay, let's change the question."

Chen Ran paused and said to the system, "System, you're actually not panicking about the disruption of time, right? Because your fundamental goal is to drag everyone into the torrent of time, and then use everyone's wisdom to open the door to collapse."

"Ever since Wendy told me that Yingjie from the Paradise of the Past said I had formed a global connection, I've been thinking about this."

Wendy traveled through time and brought Chen Ran a lot of news. The most important of them was undoubtedly that the vast majority of humans remained intact before the end of the world.

The second most important thing is to establish a global connection with him as the center.

These were all told to Wendy by Alicia, and Alicia had no reason to lie.

"But now it seems that the global connectivity I understood before and what I want to do in the future may not be the same thing."

"You are the core terminal of global connection, right?"

"To be precise, true global connectivity does not connect everyone using space as the axis, but rather connects everyone using nodes in time as the axis."

【I have no idea. 】

"But no matter what you think, as long as you can defeat Honkai, I don't mind even if you use me."

Chen Ran didn't say anything else.

The brain is synchronizing the memory of No. 666, while also digesting the knowledge of quantum physics provided by the system.

Ever since the day the system gave Chen Ran Wendy's photo, which caused such a huge deviation, the system has not given Chen Ran any material rewards.

And these rewards are knowledge rewards within the brain.

He began to think about the many possibilities of the system, but it was obvious that even Chen Ran now could not understand the operating mechanism of the system.

Although it claims to be a special stigmata, its effect is much stronger than ordinary stigmata.

The stigmata that can open future time nodes are much stronger than the Herrscher of the Void.

Although the rewards it comes with are all abilities and knowledge within the Honkai side, Chen Ran feels that the person who created it must have mastered the five parallel truths.

Until now, Chen Ran still doesn't know what the five parallel truths are.

Perhaps, only MEI knows.

Soon, he synchronized the memory of No. 666, and then there was a strange look in his eyes.

"The progress of the Stigma Terminal has exceeded 30%."

"It's stuck in the terminal."

He was in his room at this time. Obviously, No. 666 was resting.

However, just as he was thinking about quantum and stigma terminals, as well as the possible existence of global connections, Kevin arrived.

"I heard that Dr. Mobius was under investigation. I hope you weren't implicated."

Chen Ran: “?”

"Investigate? Who has the guts to do that?"

"Kevin, what's going on?"

He sat up at once.

"Don't you know? MEI just received the news too, and asked me to tell you." Kevin paused, then said, "Dr. Mebius went to Changkong City, which was destroyed by the Herrscher of Thunder, during his annual leave."

"It was also around that time that Shesha appeared. The fifth Fire Moth team went to investigate, but they only found Mebius and some black mud that appeared in Changkong City."

...

...

The environment inside the Fire Moth has always been bad, but Chen Ran never expected that it would even be investigated by Mobius.

Is it because of the joining of Velvet and MEI that the top management of Fire Moth feels that Mebius is no longer important?

During this period, the First Institute did not accept many high-level research tasks.

Before Chen Ran joined the First Institute, the First Institute took on the task of upgrading general-purpose weapons, but this task was finally completed by Wei Erwei.

After that, the First Research Institute took on the task of upgrading the potion. Later, because of Chen Ran, the First Research Institute launched a milder potion, but the corresponding effect would last longer.

After this, the First Institute did not take on any tasks.

In comparison, Weiliwei and MEI are emerging forces.

Velvet delivered the Deepest Place, and similarly, she also upgraded many materials and weapons, the significance of which to the Fire Moth is self-evident.

MEI used Orchiddale to predict the fourth collapse. After obtaining an independent laboratory, it also started research on the God of War. It is said that considerable progress has been made, and it seems that the artificial collapse beast is just one step away.

In addition to these two dazzling geniuses joining the Fire Moth, due to the impact of the third collapse, East Asian countries such as Shenzhou and Jidong are also trying their best to arrange for their domestic geniuses to join the Fire Moth or Mu Continent.

During the time Chen Ran was at the Fire Moth, he had met many younger generations.

It is precisely because of this that the dilemma of the Fire Moth relying on Mobius has passed.

He still didn't know the specific cause and effect of the matter, but his body couldn't help but wonder whether this investigation was a warning from the top to Mebius?

Chen Ran hurried to the First Research Institute.

At this time, whether it was Cang Xuan, Dan Zhu, Klein, or other non-staff members, they were all doing their own things.

Dan Zhu saw Chen Ran coming and couldn't help but greet him: "Senior Chen Ran, didn't you just go back to rest?"

“Oh, maybe I love my work too much.”

He paused and quickly asked, "Where's Senior Blanca?"

Mebius couldn't fall down yet.

Of course, he also believed that Mebius would not fall because of one or two accidents. Even if the Fire Moth got rid of the dilemma of relying solely on Mebius, what would the others think if Mebius was convicted of some false charges?

The top leader of the Fire Moth is not the emperor, and power has always been from the bottom up.

"Senior Blanca went out today, and even Grace didn't come. What happened?"

"Oh, nothing."

Blanca must have been running around for Mebius's sake.

Chen Ran felt relieved.

It would be much better to let Blanca do this kind of thing than for him to do it. After all, his status and position within the Fire Moth is not up to par.

Since Cang Xuan Dan Zhu and others from the First Research Institute don’t know about this yet, it means that this matter is carried out in secret, and the top management will still give face to Mobius.

What he was actually worried about was that the First Institute was gossiping about this matter, as that would mean that the top management was going to be ruthless.

However, Chen Ran had to think about a question: Kevin was able to get this information from MEI, so how did MEI know about this?

This is very important.

...

...

In MEI's independent laboratory, the girl is conducting research on artificial Honkai beasts.

This is a big pie, a pie that requires one to believe in success. She kept Chen Ran's words in mind, and every time she thought of it, she would have different feelings.

It can be said that Chen Ran opened another door to thinking for her.

What is being drawn is resources.

But no one in the Fire Moth is a fool, so this resource must be monetized. Even a glimmer of hope is better than nothing.

Therefore, you must believe in this cake yourself.

And if it cannot be monetized, then a bigger pie is needed.

This is actually a bubble, a bubble that needs to be maintained with confidence.

She is like a surfer. Once all her confidence disappears, the bubbles will explode and become huge waves that will bite her back.

Therefore, when someone paints a rosy picture for you, it means that that person has exhausted all means and is standing on the tightrope on the cliff.

But MEI is a master of balance.

The pie she painted was close to success.

"The artificial Honkai beast is on the verge of success. The Honkai lifeforms that can be formed from nothing but sand are truly incredible."

"From this perspective, human buildings, microorganisms, and viruses in the air could all potentially be directly transformed by the Honkai. But the Honkai didn't do that."

"From this point of view, Honkai is not the enemy. Perhaps it is looking down on everyone from a higher dimension, just like humans look down on all ants."

"So, whose side should I be on? Humanity? Civilization? Or the Honkai Impact itself?"

There was a trace of confusion in the girl's eyes.

Her will to fight against Honkai is not actually firm. It can even be said that compared to fighting Honkai itself, she wants to understand the meaning of Honkai's existence and the reasons why Honkai occurs.

Just as MEI was thinking, he received a message.

"Are you free to chat in the lounge area?"

There was a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"it is good."

...

...

"It's been a long time since we last exchanged messages."

In the rest area of ​​Fire Moth, Chen Ran and MEI were in a quiet box.

The two sat opposite each other, a single man and a single woman, but there was no trace of ambiguity in the atmosphere.

Chen Ran was always wary of MEI. He told himself that he had to adopt a fighting attitude when dealing with MEI.

MEI looked at Chen Ran and said calmly, "What news do you want, Mebius?"

"It's good if you understand."

Seeing MEI's direct statement, Chen Ran dropped the pretense and said, "Even within the First Research Institute, only Blanca knew about Mebius's investigation. This shows that the top management is consciously trying to keep this from being leaked."

"So, where is your source?"

Chen Ran directly stated his purpose: "No, to be more precise, what is your opinion on this matter itself?"

Chen Ran actually didn't believe that MEI would be involved in this matter.

This wasn't a matter of trust in MEI's character; he knew that anyone who could become a leader in the apocalypse was inherently devoid of character. Including MEI, all of the Thirteen Heroes of the Chasing Fire had indelible stains.

Even the fire moth is the stain itself.

He just believed in MEI's intelligence. If MEI really took action, Mebius would not only be warned.

Of course, he came here to test MEI's attitude towards Mebius.

Mei's eyes raised slightly: "You asked me out just for this matter, don't you think we have lost the tacit understanding between us?"
