On the second night of coming to the research institute, before going to bed, Mi'er suddenly summoned the Banshee King and asked her to help her with a "You can't be eroded by the abyss", and sure enough, this time everyone's nightmares were much less.

Minerva's curse ability is powerful, it is a "curse" for the enemy, and it is a "blessing" for his own people.

Early in the morning of the third day, Mia got up early in the morning and began to practice the Sword of Ripples, flashing from one end of the room to the other and back again.

Asker was standing at the end of the room, with a large circle drawn on the floor in front of him, and every time Mia flashed into the circle, he would take a mallet summoned by the conceptual weapon and smash it into the circle - Mia had to flash out again before she was attacked, or she would be hit with a club.

Mi'er sat on a chair next to her and began to observe parallel worlds on a large scale.

……

The more she observed, the more she felt that something was wrong. This synth...... It seems that a lot of things are being hidden. When Asker tries to get a trick, it's mostly avoiding reality and downplaying it, but the occasional little answer that slips through shows that it's not an ordinary robot that doesn't know anything.

While observing the world line, she pulled out a pen and paper from the future, quickly recorded a large number of results, and then silently handed them to Asker as Mia's training entered a break.

Asker took the note, read it without saying a word, and placed it on the table. Mi'er lifted the summoning again, and directly destroyed the evidence, leaving no trace.

In the afternoon, the synth named Capet came to the room again and asked the visitors "what do you need?"

"We're practicing swordsmanship, and we want to borrow a bigger venue, I wonder if you can provide it here?" Asker asked.

"Bigger field...... Capet seemed to be thinking, "how big does it need to be?" ”

"The bigger, the better." Asker replied.

"Follow me." Capet said.

The three of them followed Capet out of the room, and Miel silently gave Aske a look.

Asker gave a meaningful look back.

Mia walked in the middle, looked at Mi'er on the left, and then at Aske on the right, completely unable to read their eye contact, and did not dare to ask directly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Coming to a huge room that appeared to be a testing ground, Capet turned around and asked:

"Is it okay here?"

"Yes." Asker looked around, "This is here?" ”

"A place for our test subjects to conduct comprehensive testing." Capet replied.

"Experimental creatures?" Mi'er asked, feigning curiosity.

"The main research topic of our research institute is how to enable human beings to live in the erosion environment of the three planes." Capet replied, "I can't tell you the details of the research for the time being because of the secrecy. ”

"Oh......" Mi'er lengthened her voice, casting an inquiring look at Aske again.

Aske nodded imperceptibly, pressing one hand on the sword he had drawn from the void.

"Actually, we don't need to say it, we can guess." Mi'er said suddenly, "The way to resist the erosion of the abyss is to develop external equipment or modify your own genes. ”

"Since you mentioned 'test subjects', and the testing site is so huge, the specific content is to genetically modify humans, right? By fusing the genes of the abyss' transcendent monsters, transform humans into giant monsters, so as to gain the ability to adapt to the abyssal environment? ”

The red light in Capet's eyes suddenly flickered, and it seemed that the processor was doing a huge amount of data. Aske quietly stepped forward half a step forward and stopped in front of Mi'er; Mia quietly detoured from the side, blocking the way of the synths.

"Well, I didn't expect it to be guessed by you......" After a few minutes, the synthesizer spoke again, but it was not a mechanical voice synthesized by the system, but a hoarse middle-aged male voice, "You ...... Not a simple mercenary, right? ”

"So, I guessed it right." Mi'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

According to her observations of the future, when she points out the special information of "genetic modification", there is a 67% probability that the other party will confess, and a 33% probability that they will immediately turn around. Fortunately, the bet was finally won.

"It's not hard to guess." Capet laughed coldly, "Research Institute No. 710 at the bottom of the abyss, the most notorious human optimization program in the history of scientific ethics. Even if you are a 'scientific research hunter' more than 1,700 years later, you should have heard about the specific direction of our research. ”

Human optimization? Research hunter? Mia listened in complete confusion behind her, Asker's face remained unchanged, and Mi'er took a slight look at the future direction, and then continued:

"You're not mistaken, we're not so-called research hunters. In other words, after 1700, 'science' is no longer a deeply rooted word. ”

"What did you say?" Capet's tone was a little inexplicable, as if he had heard some gibberish.

"Ugh." Mi'er sighed and said softly:

"Your Excellency, have you ever heard of the Demon Tide?"

————————

"Nonsense!" After listening to the history that Mi'er said, Capet, who was already impatient, angrily rebuked, "Planetary level magnetic field mutation? Burn electronic equipment? Just kidding! When our fleet colonized this planet, the equipment we carried was equipped with the highest level of electromagnetic shielding! Do you think we won't take into account the experimental conditions in a strong magnetic field? ”

"Whatever you think, the truth is that the first magic wave nearly destroyed human technology." "Most of today's science and technology have been monopolized by the Italian and Canadian Holy Sees, and they have been packaged as theology, and they are no longer openly communicated to the outside world. ”

"It's impossible!" "When we landed on this planet, we monitored the composition of the atmosphere, gravity, soil microbial environment, and the strength of electromagnetic fields, and we never heard of any sudden increase in magnetic fields. The surface magnetic intensity is about 0.5-0.6 gauss, and the induced current that can be generated is very small, and it is impossible to reach the level of burning! ”

"Lord Capet." "If it weren't for the fact that the Demon Tide destroyed human technology, then why hasn't a second exploration team visited this place for more than 1,700 years since it was abandoned?" ”

"I ......," Capeton choked, "I thought ...... I thought the Science Ethics Committee had banned my institute......"

He soon couldn't say any more, because he realized that even if they were artificially banned, they couldn't have left a research institute that could run independently and stored a lot of cutting-edge scientific resources in the depths of the abyss for more than 1,700 years without anyone caring for it - the only explanation that made sense was what Asker said:

The scientific and technological civilization of mankind, once bright enough to sail the sea of stars, no longer exists.
