"What the hell..."
Chapter 71 Real Name
After solving Ji Zi's unstable factor, Su Jue's tea was ready. He returned to the living room and found Kiana reading a comic book.
"Sorry for the wait." He put down the plate with a lot of snacks on it. Su Jue was naturally not very interested in snacks, so these were actually Ji Zi's, and he didn't know if they would suit Kiana's taste.
Kiana, who was reading a comic, suddenly came to her senses and quickly put the comic down, but she couldn't hide the strange look in her eyes. She switched her gaze between the comic and Su Jue, and finally couldn't help but asked out of curiosity: "Su Jue, what's the matter with this "Magical Girl☆Sirin"? "
A bunch of question marks popped up in his mind, and Su Jue took the comic from her. This was a very traditional girl comic. According to the introduction, it should be about the story of the magical girl Xilin who continued to become the strongest magical girl in order to save the world. But he clearly remembered that there should be no such thing in his home...
After casually flipping through the manuscript, Su Jue found that the comic book was only about halfway through. He looked at the code printed at the end and found that it was indeed his own business. It should be a new comic book that Qian Jue Company was going to launch. It was probably a sample sent by the company some time ago, but the location and time of its appearance were not appropriate. Facing Kiana's questioning eyes, Su Jue could only reluctantly lie, "I just bought it because the name was similar to yours. In fact, I rarely read comics."
"Is that so?" However, Kiana's suspicion remained unabated. Instead, she became more curious because of Su Jue's sloppy answer. "But why is your name on the list of creative staff?"
"……" After turning to the first page of the comic, Su Jue saw his name as expected. His heart skipped a beat. He remembered that this comic should have been created based on the Magical Girl Madoka Magica that he had provided. He didn't expect those guys to directly put his name on it.
"Ah, this." Fortunately, this comic is just a sample and should not have been released yet, so there is time to modify it.
Since he couldn't hide it anymore, Su Jue simply stopped acting.
"Actually, because of my financial constraints, I usually earn extra money through some part-time jobs. I thought it was just for their own entertainment, but I didn't expect this work to be published, so I bought a copy." The honest Su Jue scratched his head, a little embarrassed. "At the beginning, you told me your name was Xilin, and I thought it sounded nice, so I used it in the comics. There is no other meaning."
"It's a nice name..." Kiana looked at him deeply, put the comic book back, and muttered in a barely audible voice: "Actually, the name Kiana is also very nice."
So why didn't you tell me your real name?
Looking at the name Sirin in the comics, Kiana picked up the pen on the table and carefully wrote her name on the paper - Kiana Kaslana, not knowing whether she was angry with herself or dissatisfied with the Herrscher of the Void.
"Let me formally introduce myself. I'm Kiana Kaslana. This is my real name. So, forget about the name Silin." Although I have already said my name in the last message, leaving a message is always different from introducing myself in person.
Looking at Kiana who was so serious, Su Jue couldn't help laughing, took the note with her name on it, and wrote his own name on the paper as well.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Su Jue. Thank you for your guidance." With a meticulous expression on his face, Su Jue carefully folded the note with his name on it and put it into Kiana's hand, as if what they were exchanging was not names but some important national intelligence.
Su Jue's handwriting on the note in his hand was elegant and clean, while Kiana's handwriting inherited her usual style in Saint Freya. In contrast, the girl's face blushed with shame.
"No, I need to rewrite it. You give it back to me."
After folding the note and putting it in his pocket, Su Jue did not give her a chance to revise it. He explained seriously, "No, according to Western traditional etiquette, only the real name written down first can represent yourself. Once you modify it, it means you don't care about the other person."
Obviously, with Kiana's literary attainments, she had never heard of such things. After Su Jue's deception, she could only agree with his statement half-believingly.
Imitating Su Jue's actions, Kiana solemnly put the note with his name on it into her pocket. However, when putting the note in, her movements froze and she touched her broken star hair accessory.
"what happened?"
Looking at the boy in front of him with a puzzled look, the other's eyes were glowing under the light, clear and bright.
"No, nothing." At this moment, she suddenly felt that the doubts and worries of these days seemed so insignificant.
Whether it was him or not, it didn't matter anymore.
……
Although they really want time to stay here, Su Jue and Kiana both have their own missions, and one day in the future they will stand on different positions and end each other's lives.
When we embark on different journeys, the past time becomes especially precious.
At dawn the next day, Kiana had already left. Just like their first meeting, this farewell also ended with her quiet departure.
Standing alone on the rooftop of a residential building, the morning sun shone on her. Only when she saw the boy in the house waking up did she smile indifferently, jump down from the building, and rush towards Tianqiong City.
"Herrser of the Void, Xilin, I will never let you take my body away."
Kiana's figure disappeared, and Su Jue seemed to notice something and turned his gaze to the place where she was just now.
"Kiana...but this time I won't be swayed by my emotions."
The silk threads that covered the entire room sparkled in the sunlight. Su Jue pulled them gently, and he instantly entered the theater of domination.
……
After Kiana left, Ji Zi, with two big dark circles under her eyes, finally walked back from the suburbs. As soon as she opened the door, her eyes widened.
"Wait, why are the snacks I hid here?" She looked at the garbage on the ground in a frenzy, her heart bleeding.
This damn Herrscher not only drove me out and made me stay in the wasteland for a whole night, but also secretly showed off all my snacks.
She quickly ran to the kitchen and opened the partition behind the cabinet. She was relieved to see that the wine inside was still intact. You know, she has nothing now, even her personal freedom is restricted. If the wine she hid was gone, Ji Zi was ready to rebel on the spot.
However, after thinking about Su Jue's appearance in the Herrscher form, she swallowed and put this unreliable idea back in her mind.
"It's just some snacks, it's not a big deal. Besides, the wine is still there, so things are not too bad." This was all she could do to comfort herself.
But what happened last night? Why was the originally tidy house now in a mess? Looking at the pile of books stacked against the wall, Ji Zi was a little confused.
Could it be that Su Jue really couldn't suppress his impulse and brought the girl home?
After thinking about it carefully, Ji Zi felt that the guy would not do such a thing with his personality, unless that person was Kiana.
"Wait, what did you do to my students?!"
Chapter 72 Experimental Incident
"After the Second Great Honkai, Kamishiro Pharmaceutical provided free medical assistance to people affected by Honkai all over the world, and this humanitarian support has continued to this day. After the Third Honkai, Kamishiro Pharmaceutical began to increase its support to the Far East and Shenzhou, aiming to provide a safe and reliable treatment for all those in need."
"Trust in Shencheng Pharmaceuticals, we will bring you a better tomorrow."
The electronic advertisement for Shencheng Pharmaceutical was still playing on the billboard, and no one noticed that a hooded girl quietly raised her head under the billboard, with a strand of long white hair falling. Kiana looked at the exaggerated advertising slogans, and her eyes became colder.
During this period of investigation, Kiana's investigation finally made progress. After she successfully sneaked into a nearby hospital and found the patient transfer records, she discovered a fact. 80% of the people infected in the Honkai attack were transferred to Shencheng Medical for treatment, and most of them were patients who heard about Shencheng Medical's publicity and went there. However, there were few records of patients being cured and discharged in these transfer records.
More importantly, she found that these patients had to sign a voluntary experiment agreement before receiving treatment. Although Kiana's academic performance was not excellent, it did not prevent her from realizing that something was wrong. It was clearly a treatment, so why did they sign an experiment agreement?
Therefore, she gradually shifted her focus from the clueless large-scale search to Shencheng Pharmaceutical, and the more she investigated, the more frightened she became. This company is not only a pharmaceutical company, but also has its own industrial zone. And according to some obscure clues, Shencheng Pharmaceutical and the Destiny Organization have an inseparable cooperative relationship. Every year, they receive a large amount of Honkai energy suppression drugs provided by Destiny, but the Honkai disasters and dead soldiers infection incidents in Tianqiong City have not only not decreased, but have increased and become more frequent.
Although Kiana is filled with hatred towards Destiny, she also understands that Destiny is the main force for mankind to fight against Honkai, and this will not happen with Otto's research on Honkai energy - unless he is deliberately inducing an explosion of Honkai energy, just like he did to himself.
However, Shenzhou is not Tianming's territory, and Otto would not go to great lengths to come here and cause trouble.
Honkai beasts are always attracted to higher concentrations of Honkai energy. Now that the Honkai energy in Kiana's body has been effectively suppressed, it is unknown what is attracting them.
But there is no doubt that Shencheng Pharmaceutical is absolutely related to this.
Looking up, the towering Shencheng Pharmaceutical Headquarters building came into view in the distance. This time, Kiana was ready to take a risk and sneak into the Shencheng Pharmaceutical Headquarters to investigate.
……
"Gulu~"
Bubbles kept rising in the light yellow liquid, and the girl in the petri dish closed her eyes tightly, like a quiet corpse. Her short light blue hair kept floating with the bubbles in the culture liquid, and it looked like a dream under the light. No one noticed that a touch of gold quietly emerged and flashed away.
In the laboratory, Jackal frowned as he looked at the experimental data on the electronic screen.
When she first started the experiment, she discovered that the daughter of [Mo Moth] had a strong adaptability to Honkai energy, to a degree that was strong enough to shock the Jackal. With such a strong adaptability, she would undoubtedly be able to withstand more stigmata mutagenic potions, greatly advancing the progress of the stigmata experiment.
But now the initial surprise has disappeared without a trace. In the past few days of research, she has invested nearly a million experimental materials, and the prepared Honkai energy potion can almost trigger a large-scale Honkai disaster. However, when it was applied to this little girl, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, not even causing a splash.
"Is this level of Honkai resistance really possible for humans?" Even the usually proud Jackal was doubting his life at this moment, but there was nothing she could do. Now that the materials had been invested, even the sunk costs made her feel a little sad. She could only continue to intensify her research.
"Dr. Jackal, the batch of Honkai energy inhibitors provided by Destiny has been used up. Do you really want to continue?" Jackal's assistant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He personally participated in the experiment on Grayshu, and witnessed with his own eyes that the resources accumulated for a long time were wasted. If most of these resources were used on those patients, perhaps a large amount of data would have been obtained long ago, instead of being clueless like now.
"Do you think you know more about research than me?" A cold voice came. The assistant raised his head and met a pair of golden eyes. The Alubis mask engraved with the Ankh, the symbol of life, covered half of the Jackal's face, making her look very dangerous.
The assistant swallowed his saliva and dared not say anything more. He knew very well that the Jackal was a true evil scientist who would never show mercy to anyone. If he questioned it again, he would definitely be the next experimental subject.
"Apply for it if you run out of the inhibitory potion of Destiny. Now is the critical moment in the research of the stigmata. It doesn't matter even if Destiny finds out about our whereabouts. The Lord is about to return, so there is no need to fear Destiny." The order was given in a flat voice. The Jackal no longer paid attention to the assistant and shifted his attention to Grayshu in the culture tank.
At this time, the girl's body was full of needle holes, and even a lot of her skin was cut open. Although it was only a few days, the jackal had already conducted dozens of studies on her. Originally, the girl would scream in pain, but gradually her screams became weaker and weaker, and now she has lost consciousness.
"You clearly knew that your daughter would be treated inhumanely, but you still resolutely decided to send her to me. Mo Mo, should I say that you are stupid or naive?"
With a slightly sarcastic sigh, the Jackal injected the only remaining mutagenic injection into Grayshure's body through the robotic arm. As the injection of the drug, Grayshure's body, which had been numb, began to twitch gradually, and cracks of collapse and erosion began to appear on the surface of her body.
This surprised the Jackal very much. The girl's adaptability to Honkai energy was too strong. Now there was finally a change. Regardless of whether this change was good or bad, it meant that the experiment had made progress.
"Has it finally begun? Whether you awaken the stigmata or become a dead soldier, it depends on whether you can hold on."
As the collapse lines continued to extend, some strange lines gradually emerged on the surface of the body. They were chaotic, but with some strange rules. After these lines appeared, the collapse energy intensity of the entire laboratory increased rapidly, and in a flash it exceeded the specified threshold.
The Jackal's face changed, and he quickly pressed the stop button, injecting a large amount of mitigating potion. However, the lines on Gray's body showed no sign of stopping, and chaotic and rich Honkai energy continued to emerge.
After just tens of seconds, some researchers in the laboratory began to show signs of becoming dead soldiers, and were transformed into zombie-like monsters under the erosion of extremely strong Honkai energy, and were then directly shot and killed by the defense system.

The glass of the culture tank was completely shattered. Graysh opened her eyes and met the golden eyes of the jackal.
Chapter 73: The Special Abilities of the Stigmata
The moment Graysh's body began to change, Su Jue noticed the changes in her. A new power was quietly emerging and was fed back to him through the ability to dominate the Herrscher.
This is an extremely complex energy system that stores and transforms the Honkai energy in a special way, and finally fits into something called the Stigmata Space. However, the Stigmata Space is not completely independent. It exchanges power with the larger Stigmata Space through the imaginary space to obtain higher-dimensional abilities.
Rather than saying it is a system of power, it is more of a heritage.
It is a pity that although the stigmata appeared on Grayshu's body, as a puppet, her awakening was not complete after all. Moreover, Su Jue, as a Herrscher, could not deceive the administrator of the high-dimensional stigmata space and could only rely on the power of the stigmata itself.
Moreover, this stigmata felt very familiar to him, as if it had belonged to him naturally.
Could it be that Grayshu really carries Su Jue's genes, and the Jackal's stigma experiment happened to activate the stigma that Su Jue should have possessed?
This guess was too bold, and Su Jue didn't dare to think about it deeply.
On the other side, Jackal was full of surprise as she watched the holy marks that had successfully emerged on Gray's body. The pool that she had spent a lot of money on finally produced something. She was even more excited than Su Jue himself. However, before she could get close, a powerful force suddenly erupted, knocking her away.
The laboratory facilities and equipment were scattered all over the floor, and the Jackal himself almost fell into a coma because of this. However, as a master of car rollovers, it was impossible for the Jackal to be unprepared, and he immediately pressed the button on his body.
The assistants around her had been completely turned into dead soldiers under the erosion of Honkai energy, and they didn't even have the ability to get close to Grayshu. Before they could get close, they were strangled by an invisible force.
"What a perfect weapon." Seeing Grayshut easily slaughtering the warrior, the Jackal nodded with satisfaction, "But let's calm down first."
As she spoke, thick fog began to fill the area around the laboratory. This was a specially made HSN gas, which would not cause any harm to the human body. However, the moment it came into contact with the Valkyries, it would disrupt the Honkai energy in their bodies, causing them to completely lose their powers.
Originally, the Jackal was planning to wait for the arrival of the man of destiny before using him, but now that his experimental subject has gone out of control, he naturally prioritizes recovering the experimental subject.
Seeing that Grayshu was standing there without moving, the Jackal breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, his special weapon arrived at the scene.
As the metal gate opened, the modified ultimate weapon Death Weaver, which was originally wrapped in culture fluid, finally appeared in the laboratory. It was the Jackal's most satisfying killing weapon so far. It was a spider-shaped monster made of the body of the Valkyrie of Destiny and combined with a mechanical prosthesis.
"Death Weaver, catch her." The Jackal gave the order, and at the same time he stood up from the ground and walked towards the door. The gas here was getting thicker and thicker, and in a while even she would be affected.
However, when she just opened the hatch of the laboratory, a black shadow flew out at an extremely fast speed. The Jackal was shocked. Could it be that the experimental subject still had the ability to move?
Unfortunately, before anyone could answer her question, she saw the Death Weaver crashing into the spiders in the passage with their limbs twisted and broken in strange postures.
If it was really only Grayshu who awakened, the Jackal would be able to suppress her at will, but now she is being controlled by a Herrscher.
"Good evening, big sister. The experiment you did on me made me suffer for a long time." The innocent voice echoed in the laboratory. The Jackal could not see the girl's figure through the thick gas, but the constantly deforming buildings around her made her understand that the monster she created was approaching her.
Her short light blue hair fluttered in the wind, except for that one scarlet highlight that was particularly eye-catching. She was wearing a white coat that she had taken from the experimenter. She walked barefoot towards the jackal step by step.
Fear finally appeared in his eyes, and the Jackal gritted his teeth and called all the weapons. The machine guns on the wall sprayed flames, covering the entire position where Gray Xiu was, but the bullets all stopped one meter away from her, as if they were blocked by an invisible wall.
“Is this the power of the stigmata?”
No, actually this is the power of the Herrscher.
Gray's stigma is a telekinetic ability, which is not very powerful in itself, but with the amplification of the Thousand Herrscher, it has reached the pinnacle of A-level Valkyrie. Although the jackal has strong research ability, it is not a combat type, and has no chance of winning against Gray now.

The jackal's left leg suddenly broke, and as Graysh crushed it, its calf gradually became shattered and fractured.
"Damn it!" She kept cursing but ran away very quickly. No one knew what she had fed herself, but she quickly turned into a Honkai beast and ran towards the exit.
He gently raised his right hand, and a broken steel beam shot out, nailing the jackal, which had transformed into a Honkai beast, to the wall.
At the same time, Su Jue also discovered the flaw in Grayshu's ability. When he controlled it himself, he needed to first apply the dominating ability to Grayshu. However, through Grayshu, he called upon the power of the stigmata, and the stigmata then applied the power to reality through the feedback of the imaginary space.
In other words, there is a large delay, so if you want to use force accurately, you have to control your speed. Once you exercise vigorously, you will most likely lose control.
"Huh? Where's my big sister? Why did she turn into a monster?" Nailed to the wall and unable to move, the Jackal was extremely anxious and could only keep praying to the Raven to come to the rescue quickly.
Fortunately, the raven did not disappoint her expectations. The red arrows shot towards Gray, blocking her movements. Su Jue tried to control the surrounding debris to attack her, but the disadvantage of high latency was clearly revealed in front of the agile raven. Although the raven could not do anything to Su Jue, it was still no problem to take away the jackal.
Forget it. I can’t kill the jackal anyway. It will be enough to torture it. I’ll just regard it as revenge for being used as an experiment on me.
Looking back at the bloody laboratory, Su Jue sighed, wondering how many experimental subjects had experienced cruel torture here.
