After leaning back in her office chair, Theresa spoke to Jizi with a slightly tired look.
"HSN serum improved version, this is the experimental serum that Tianming just made recently."
"According to Grandpa, people who are injected with this serum will have their Houkai energy weakened."
"Ah? This thing does this to me...!"
Ji Zi, who was about to say something, immediately realized the effect of the serum on her.
The problems with Himeko are essentially caused by the mess that Honkai can cause.
If the Honkai energy in Jizi's body can be weakened, the erosion of Honkai energy on her body will naturally decrease.
In other words, after injecting this serum, although the strength of the [Valkyrie] Murata Himeko will be weakened, the lifespan of the [human] Murata Himeko will be increased.
For Ji Zi, who has been struggling to prolong her life, this serum can be said to have solved one of the problems she needs to face to a large extent.
If it were someone else, after getting the serum and understanding its effects, they might have injected it into their body without saying a word.
But the problem is that Ji Zi has a very high IQ.
After she understood the effect of the serum, she also noticed another problem.
"Theresa, to what extent can this serum weaken the Honkai energy in my body?"
"Well..."
After thinking for a while, Theresa said with a little distress.
"I don't know the details. I just know that Lin Yu, who suppressed the Third Herrscher and was assigned to our branch, used this serum to suppress the consciousness of the Herrscher of Thunder, allowing her human personality to take control of her body."
"And the serum in your hand is a youth serum that has been made with improved materials and adjusted in concentration, which has weakened the serum's effectiveness countless times."
"Even if you say so, there is a huge gap between humans and Herrschers."
After gently shaking the serum in her hand, a complicated look suddenly appeared on Ji Zi's face.
"How much strength will I have left after using this serum?"
"I don't know, but the probability of turning back into a normal person is very high."
Having said this, Theresa suddenly became extremely angry.
"Well, this is a good thing. It saves you, the bomb girl, from having to run into the Nexus system to connect every day."
"You used the Nexus system again this time, right? Can you save me some money? Hyperion's energy cannons cost a lot to maintain."
"How should I put it... I can't just watch my subordinates die in front of me, right?"
Looking at Theresa's angry expression at this moment, Ji Zi knew at this moment that Theresa was not angry with her because of any money issue.
Although Theresa and Himeko had not known each other for a particularly long time, as friends, they both knew very well that the other was thinking about them.
The real reason why Theresa was angry was actually because Ji Zi's practice of using the Nexus system at every turn showed that she didn't care about her own life at all.
"Thank you, Theresa. I'll take this serum."
"Don't take it!"
Seeing that Ji Zi had no intention of using the serum on the spot, Theresa became even more anxious.
"You should use the serum now and retire. There are so many documents piled up. You should have helped me deal with them long ago!"
"Even if you say so, but...at least not now."
After picking up the terminal on the coffee table, Jizi opened the information inside and placed the terminal in front of Theresa.
"In the short term, I estimate that our Far East Branch still has an important task to complete."
"Important mission—what, Shenzhou?"
Looking at the information displayed on the terminal, Theresa was completely unable to understand why the destination of this mission was in this place.
"That's strange. Doesn't Shenzhou and our Tianming not interfere with each other?"
"Over the years, I remember my grandfather told us to always treat Shenzhou with an equal and friendly attitude."
"As for Shenzhou, they also rely on the development of high-tech mechanical patrols to fight against Honkai. If they really encounter a stronger Honkai beast, their 'martial artists' will take action directly."
"Such a powerful region actually invited us, Tianming, to help... This is strange. Has such a thing really happened in the past five hundred years?"
"We just asked our destiny to prepare in advance."
At this time, after correcting the mistakes in Theresa's words, Ji Zi continued to speak to Theresa.
"After all, after Shenzhou discovered an area suspected to be the Nine Netherworld, they suspected that Nien-Entropy might also intervene in this matter."
"And now... Heh, Anti-Entropy has a bad reputation."
"Jiuyou is the place where the Shenzhou hero Ji Lin and the Judgment-level Honkai Beast Chi You fought. If the legend is correct, there should still be Ji Lin's holy marks and the Xuanyuan Sword, the weapon she used to seal the Honkai Beast."
"Shenzhou has said that if necessary, they can give up their original stigmata, and the Xuanyuan Sword can be temporarily entrusted to us, but the premise is that if Anti-Entropy comes, we must help them deal with it."
"Anti-entropy..."
Theresa, who originally wanted to say "reverse entropy is not that bad", recalled everything that happened a few days ago and suddenly felt that Shenzhou's actions were indeed understandable.
Although other executors of Anti-Entropy are also unhappy with Destiny, at most they will only fight within the rules.
But Cocolia—this guy just flipped the table.
Raiden Ryoma was her colleague, and he was tricked by her.
Me Company is the money bag of Anti-Entropy, but after she robbed it, she left it there. It has been occupied and plundered by people sent by Destiny.
And what she was doing - she was planning to blow up Changkong City and trigger the third collapse.
If this person was just insidious and cunning, then Shenzhou would not be so cautious this time.
But Cocolia's actions are no longer insidious and cunning, they are completely unconventional.
She even bombed Changkong City, where Lei Dian Longma had already made a lot of backup plans, let alone a region like Shenzhou that had been on good terms with Tianming for generations - this person would most likely go crazy once he arrived at a place, so it was normal for Shenzhou to be well prepared.
"And in the final analysis, Shenzhou's research on Honkai energy weapons and stigmata is not as good as ours."
Having said that, Ji Zi smiled helplessly.
"They said they would give us the things if we were invited over, but to put it bluntly, they were just trying to get a piece of the pie."
"After all, their mechanical patrols can only fight low-level Honkai beasts. Stronger Honkai beasts require martial artists to fight."
"Those martial artists, although they can practice their own martial arts to fight against Honkai beasts with the help of the many secret manuals left by the legendary Red Kite Immortal's sixth disciple Ma Fei Ma, their speed is still too slow."
"Anyway, they probably won't be able to research anything with the stigmata, so why not take this opportunity to show goodwill and use this excuse to see if we can exchange this original stigmata for some of the research results of the stigmata."
"After all..."
After taking a look at her own body, Ji Zi smiled again at herself.
"Although artificial stigmata are fatal, this thing can make people stronger quickly."
"In terms of efficiency, this is much faster than 'practicing martial arts'."
"Wow, that's so complicated."
After listening to Ji Zi's analysis, Theresa held her head and said with a little pain.
"Why are you guys so cunning?"
"Um, wait, what is this..."
Looking at the list of task personnel below, Theresa clicked on it and felt that something was wrong.
The members who must be dispatched to carry out the mission are as follows:
Kiana Kaslana (D-rank Valkyrie)
Mei Raiden (D-rank Valkyrie)
Bronya Zajcek (D-rank Valkyrie)
Yuno (D-rank Valkyrie)
Lin Yu (B-rank Knight)
Fu Hua (A-rank Valkyrie)
"The person who gave this order was - it was grandpa after all."
"What a travesty! I'm going to talk to him right now—"
"I suggest you give up this plan, Theresa."
Looking at the list on the terminal, Ji Zi said speechlessly.
"Have you not figured out why the bishop would rather violate the rule that D-class are not allowed to go to the battlefield in order to let these young people participate in this mission?"
"Fu Hua is from Shenzhou. She is the captain responsible for leading the team and analyzing on-site intelligence."
"I've also heard about Lin Yu. He's a rookie at the headquarters. I guess he should be the vice-captain."
"As for the remaining four people, the bishop obviously wants to support them and help them quickly upgrade to A or even S."
"Now that he has made up his mind, do you think it would be helpful for you to say these nonsense?"
No.
Theresa felt that even if she used her own brain to think about it, she would come to this conclusion.
It's true that Otto loves her, but on some things, Otto will not give in just because he loves Theresa.
Otto didn't know when he issued this order, which meant that he had already made the decision when he issued the order.
And what terrified Theresa the most was that she felt Ji Zi's analysis was completely correct.
This mission seemed very dangerous, but considering that there was a Herrscher and a Pseudo-Herrscher in the team, as well as a promising A and a B who had defeated the Herrscher, she felt that no matter how dangerous this mission was, there would be a limit.
To put it bluntly, this is Otto's attempt to gild this group of people, and considering the identity of one of them...
Siegfried has been raising Kiana for the past few years, and Grandpa has paid so much attention to her. Grandpa also made some big plans at that time...
In other words, grandpa’s target this time is actually Kiana?
......
While leading everyone to Ji Zi's home, Fu Hua, who was walking in the front, could not often look back to observe the people behind her, but as a martial arts master, she still made the most basic judgment based on the footsteps of the crowd.
Among these people, the footsteps of Kiana and Yuno were very ordinary, which were the normal footsteps that ordinary people who had not received training would make.
Bronya's feet moved with the help of prosthetic limbs, so she skipped this one.
Lin Yu's footsteps showed that he had received training, but not much.
Among the few people, the one with the lightest and steadiest footsteps was the delicate-looking eldest lady, Raiden Mei.
Herr of Thunder, I have some experience in martial arts...
And now, Otto has deposited K423 here, which means that what he told me at the Destiny Headquarters was correct.
After he recovered K423, he already knew how to move the plan to the next stage.
They asked me to come here, saying that they wanted to form a strong team to fight against the Herrscher, but in fact... hehe, they just asked me to come here to monitor them.
However, he asked me to pay more attention to what was going on with Lin Yu.
He has simulated Yu Duchen. If he wants to understand Lin Yu, he can just hypnotize Lin Yu himself.
It's strange that Otto would pay attention to a young man.
But if you think about it carefully, anyone who can suppress the Herrscher of Thunder cannot be underestimated even with the help of HSN serum.
Find an opportunity to discuss things with him and see what he is capable of.
If he is truly committed to fighting against Honkai, it is not a bad thing for such a young hero to grow up.
Oh...strange, whose name was I trying to call just now?
Lin Yu, who was behind Fu Hua, didn't say a word at this time, but when he saw the character introduction panel that popped up on the system, he felt that his desire to complain was about to emerge.
[Name: Fu Hua]
[Identity: One of the Thirteen Heroes of the Pre-Era, the Red Kite Immortal of Shenzhou, the S-class Valkyrie of Destiny, and a spy sent by Otto to the Far East Branch.]
