"An accident...... We didn't notice the time. Appaya sighed, stood up and dragged a chair next to him and placed it next to his seat, "You sit down first." ”

Reins stood at the table and raised an eyebrow at Apaya, who looked around the institute and rubbed his head.

"You all go to eat first, and then you can continue when you are done."

As he had finished, the others looked at each other for a moment, and then walked out of the gate one after another, accompanied by the slight sound of stretching their bodies and their own slight talking, leaving only the two of them here.

"It's a mess, so to speak." Appaya fell back into her seat, leaning her head back in her chair, "Obviously there should be progress......

Reins sat down in a chair next to him and picked up the thin stack of paper on his desk and looked through it.

"Isn't that progress? …… Regarding the documents and detailed information on the 7th transfer, this is also quite useful, right? After all, I don't really know what kind of specific abilities No. 7 has, and it would be helpful to know more. ”

Apaya tilted her head to look at her, then pouted.

"Don't comfort me, if you can only get this kind of results...... That's a shame. Appaya sat up straight, "At least find the entrance anyway......

He continued to look at his paperwork, while Reins looked at him with a blank face.

"If I don't figure it out, I probably won't be able to sleep...... Have you eaten? Aphaya said as if explaining, his eyes still fixed on the screen, which made Reins wonder if he knew what he had just said.

"Nope."

The other man nodded, tapped twice on the keyboard, and then paused. He jerked his head to look at Reins, and then he could see the undisguised displeasure on her face.

“…… You should leave me alone. Appaya sighed and reached out to touch Reins' head, "Aren't you still angry with me?" ”

Reins snorted coldly and reached out to wave his hand away.

"Busy with you, Your Excellency."

Looking at Reins, who was snuggling up in the chair and flipping through the materials after finishing speaking, and then looking at the lunch box that was obviously for two, Apaya smiled helplessly and pushed the keyboard aside.

"Let's eat first, I'm hungry."

His mercenary clearly had the attitude that if he didn't eat, then she wouldn't eat either, and if he didn't know each other again, he wouldn't want to get this kind of care in the future.

Apaya took out the lunch box and handed the cutlery to Reins. The latter squinted at him and put down the information in his hand.

The next morning.

The sound of the communicator broke the quiet air of the room, which seemed to be a signal of sorts, and the people in the room gradually climbed up from their desks, yawning and muttering indistinctly.

“…… I'm Rheins. ”

Her voice was a little hoarse, and there was a hazy feeling that she hadn't completely shaken off her slumber, and she rubbed her eyes to wake herself up.

"I'll go right over."

Reins put the communicator away, and she pressed her forehead to look at Apaya, who was looking at her a little blankly, and couldn't help but laugh out loud at the other party's expression.

"Shao told me just now that there seems to be something wrong on the 7th, and I'm going to go over and take a look now."

The blonde man blinked, rubbed his hair vigorously, and then shook his head and stood up.

"I'm with you."

Last night, Rhines stayed at the institute to accompany Appaia to analyze the data. The people in the data group didn't pause until they were finally able to move forward, and by that time the sky was already white, so everyone took the time to take a small break.

During this period, there were also people from other groups who returned to the institute and saw this scene to slow down so as not to affect their sleep.

Both Reins and Appaya are sleep-deprived, but the mercenaries are more accustomed to acting in less than ideal situations, but she does not refuse the company.

The two men rushed to the infirmary, and surrounded by several people, Boe sat on the bed, but his expression looked more indifferent than before.

"Reins, you're here." Hua Shao spotted them first, and then walked up quickly, "Oh...... You don't look good. ”

Reins shook her head slightly.

"It's not a big deal."

Hua Shao looked at her, then at Apaya, didn't ask anything more, and then pulled Huck to make way for them.

“…… Brother, he lost part of his memory. Number 7 sat on the edge of the bed with his back to them, his hands in unchained handcuffs—the 'gift' that Rhines had specially designed to suppress the 'boon' in his body—and looked at Poe in a daze, "He doesn't remember being here yesterday...... I almost can't even remember me. ”

Reinse's brow furrowed slightly, and she wanted to go over to Bee's side to see what was going on, but Apaya was still holding her hand. She turned her head and glared, and Apaya could only obediently let go of her.

Her fingers glowed blue, passing Boe from head to toe as if they were scanning, and Boe didn't know if she didn't care or if she had been told before, so she didn't protest her actions.

"There is no doubt about it...... A matter of the soul. She dispelled the light and waved her hand, "Rossos really has the audacity to do it to the soul one after another. ”

Number 7 looked at her nervously, his inky blue eyes wide open.

"So what to do? Is it the soul that is damaged—"

"No, not at all." Reins sighed softly, "It's better to say that his soul is very complete and powerful. ”

No. 7 didn't ask, but just stared at her, and Reins frowned and thought for a while, then looked at No. 7.

"You know that Roseos recent experiment, right? About resurrection. ”

Number 7 blinked, and said with some hesitation, "You mean...... Instructors? ”

"That's the kind that Roses studied, and by their standards, it's barely a success." Reins shook her head, "But in our eyes, it's a failure, his soul goes into that body, but that body doesn't grow any more...... In other words, that shell is still a dead thing. ”

Everyone in the room listened attentively, whether they understood it or not, and she paused for a moment before continuing.

"About your brother...... I did have an idea just now. Rhines whispered, but the next topic seemed completely unrelated to the previous one, "The gods of the ancients have their own place to live, but they can also descend to the place where humans live, and at that time they will put away their divine powers, and they will look like ordinary humans. ”

Reins pressed her fingers to the corners of her forehead, enduring the headache caused by thinking after sleep deprivation.

"But sometimes there are exceptions...... If the gods are disturbed when they come, then it is possible that the Godhead will be separated from the body, and if they are too far apart, then by the time the Godhead finds the body again, the body itself may already have a consciousness of its own. ”

"Your own consciousness?" Hua Shao couldn't help but ask, "You mean, does that body have other souls?" ”

“…… Actually, it is the soul of the gods themselves. The soul and the Godhead are different beings. A soul without a godhead is no different from an ordinary human being, but it cannot be simply assumed that a soul with a godhead becomes a god. ”

After a brief explanation, Reins looked at No. 7, who was still puzzled but had no objections.

"That exceptional case...... When the Godhead finds its own body, it will find that it cannot be fused smoothly, because the consciousness that the body itself has generated will resist the existence that can make it disappear, but after all, it will not be able to resist the power of the Godhead, and finally the original consciousness of the soul will disappear and become the original god. ”

The silver-haired mercenary paused, looked at Poe, who was still expressionless, and then at No. 7, who seemed to have guessed something and was a little nervous.

"In order to be able to carry the Godhead, the strength of the soul will be very tough." She whispered, "And what if...... It is to carry the repulsive force brought about by an external personality, and I think, it will also require the soul to have a certain strength. ”

Number 7 jerked to his feet and rushed straight in front of Rhine, but was stopped by Apaya.

"You mean brother, he-"

"The people of Roses must have also realized that the 'resurrection' of Mayvotos was imperfect." "That's why they're looking for another way...... Imitate the way the gods descend. ”

The blood on Number 7's face vanished in an instant, his lips trembling, and he couldn't say anything.

"Okay, don't put on a show like that, if your brother is really for this reason, then there is still a way." Reins leaned herself on Apaya's arm, "Now all we need to do is make sure it's not the ...... I guess you should be able to help, No. 7? ”

Number 7's body shuddered for a moment, and then he blinked quickly, as if trying to calm himself down, when Boe suddenly spoke.

"He's not called Number 7." He looked at Reins with displeasure, "His name is Talos. ”

Reins raised an eyebrow, and Boe's words seemed to cheer up Number 7 as well.

"I remember looking at the documentation, just recently." Number 7 said quickly, "But that's not something I have permission to view, I just glanced at someone else's screen...... This information should be in the data you got back this time. ”

At this, Number 7 was stunned for a moment, and Reins showed a smirk.

"Funny dead end, you'll only give us a way to unlock the information after your brother is cured, but now your brother's treatment needs that information." Reins sneered, "A conundrum, right, No. 7?" …… Oh, at least you'll have to be called 7 until you're sure you want to really get out of Rossos. ”

Number 7 pursed his lips, he looked at Poe, who was not very good-looking, and then lowered his head and began to think. The others didn't bother him, and although Reinz wanted him to make a quick decision so she could continue to rest, she wasn't going to force the other to make a choice for the sake of this.
