Operation Dawn Chapter 39 The "Zombie Village" Conod tragedy

"Assert ......"

Bronch's human skull, with a terrible laugh, and a diamond-shaped purple crystal on the chest of the giant mantis-like body beneath its skull, was embedded in its musculature, glowing with a strange light.

He has been affected by Agnes's divine powers, and his body has been "eroded and overloaded", and he has mutated into a mock-like lawgiver in the form of Honkaimon. If you have to say it...... This is what he is, liberating the true posture of the core of the mimetic lawyer.

Ace questioned him, "So, these things that infected the residents of a small town should be what you did, right?" Bronch Okawija. ”

Bronch also answered her as a matter of course, and its human-shaped face, with a smug expression, said, "Truly...... That's right! By the command of the Lord of Despair, I have come here to sow terror and despair! The will to carry out the truth of despair! ”

"It's something that a proud guy can do."

Ace's right hand clenched into a fist, driving the mark on his body that had already awakened into the "True Stigmata", and the mark burst into a crimson light. Then, with a punch speed of nearly 0.1 seconds, a punch hit the silver scythe of the mantis giant beast in front of him.

Before Bronch could react, Bronch was blasted out of the air with a punch that slammed into the walls of the clock tower in the town's central square, kicking up the dust of the explosion. Ace did not slack off after the attack, but immediately communicated to the temporary camp at the front, hoping that someone would be sent over to solve the situation quickly.

"Hey, I'm Ace, there's a situation here, the enemy is an 'unknown level' Honkai Beast, we are fighting, pay attention to support me at all times, artillery support is priority."

After she hung up, she tugged at the military gloves she was wearing, and then put on a hand-to-hand combat stance against the giant praying mantis that continued to pounce on her. Ace handled it calmly, and when Bronch swooped down from a high altitude, she simply jumped backwards and sent Bronch into the air.

"Boom...... Did the attack fail? ”

"I'm here."

She threw another punch, and great power erupted from the stigma behind her. As a former Valkyrie of Destiny and once known as the "Rising Star of St. Freya", Belena Belmont has long been the "Stigmata Awakener" among the Valkyries.

Only a few Valkyries can awaken to become Stigmata Awakeners, and Stigmata Awakeners can gain more powerful Honkai power and use powers similar to those of the "Quasi-Lawgiver" to fight.

Ace's "Awakening Stigmata" ability is "Vector Pull". This includes, but is not limited to, the ability to turn "1 second into 10 seconds", and the ability to turn "the power of 1 Newton into 10 Newtons", but there is a limit to her ability.

She can't create time out of thin air, nor can she create power out of thin air, she can only divide on the basis of the original. When the heavy punch containing a thousand thunderbolts hit Bronch again, a crack had already appeared in Bronch's silicified carapace, and Bronch had a premonition of the crisis, and hurriedly embedded his huge limbs into the ground, trying to reduce the reaction force.

"There are really two hits...... 'Queen of Razors'."

"Give up struggling, now you're just a monster manipulated by Agnes, as a former mechanical genius, you don't deserve this fate."

"Truly...... What do you know? If it weren't for Lord Agnes knowing my talent, how could I have attained such a position that he held in such high esteem! ”

Under Ace's shocked gaze, the back of Bronch's huge body extended out, forming two heavy machine cannons, and fired at Ace. Ace quickly dodged with extraordinary speed, and just as the bullets he shot were pouring down, Ace approached him again and punched him hard in the humanoid head.

"Hey, it doesn't hurt or itch!"

"Don't be hard-mouthed, Bronch, save your energy to mourn yourself."

This time, Bronch was not sent out by Ace, he had "evolved again" in Ace's previous attack, making the internal structure of his body more dense, and it was because of this that he could resist the impact of Ace's heavy blow.

Bronch quickly swung his claws, forming a crescent-shaped knife wave, and attacked Ace in front of him, but Ace used his agility to dodge.

"I don't understand how you weren't infected by Lord Agnes and became a 'Quasi-Lawyer,' Queen of Razor."

"Not everyone is resistant to Agnes' infection, you say? Bronch, with the appearance of your half-cut body in the ground, it's hard not to get infected, right? ”

"Shut up!"

The giant mantis became violent, and he threw himself at Ace in front of him in a fit of rage, but Ace only reflexively kicked it in the leg of its arthropod. It was just such an inconspicuous kick, but the center of gravity of Bronch's entire huge body was unstable, and it flipped backwards, fell to the ground, and constantly danced its joints to get itself up from the ground.

"Really...... It's amazing! Darn! ”

Just as Blanche was cursing, Ace threw another punch, aimed at its insect's abdomen, and threw it into the air.

After so many beatings, Bronche's carapace also began to show large cracks, and the red internal tissue was exposed, emitting a red glow. This is a sign that the collapse in his body can leak out, and now he is like a big time bomb, and if he is subjected to external stimuli, it is likely to explode.

At this point, Ace noticed something was wrong, maybe Bronch's distorted body had been manipulated by Agnes. Therefore, she also judged that she "cannot continue the attack", and hurriedly communicated back to the outpost and gave instructions.

"Situation, guys, prepare to evacuate Conod Town."

"So Sir Ace...... What about you? ”

"I'm staying here, this Honkai beast in front of me is about to explode itself, and the explosion will affect your location visually."

On the other end of the line was Captain Mei, who expressed concern for Ace after Ace ordered the Valkyries to evacuate Conod immediately.

"Sir Ace, with all due respect, you must still have a little grudge against your brother's sacrifice...... But he's still alive, and I'll let him answer the phone now. ”

Ace, who was about to die with the Honkai Beast that blew himself up, let out a "What?" after hearing Mei Yi's "Dr. Edward is still alive?" The expression became very surprised, and he didn't believe what she said at all.

However, when Edward answered the phone, after hearing his own brother's voice, Ace suddenly seemed to change her whole appearance, her expression was no longer fierce, she sat on the ground, and tears kept flowing from her eyes. She really thought that Dr. Edward was dead, and she had seen him on his deathbed, and his dying words still lingered in her mind.

Ace didn't want Mei to be using "bionic language" to trick her, but she didn't have to. Dr. Edward is still alive, although Mei Yi does not know the truth about his "resurrection", but it is true, he is still alive.

"It's me, old lady, you're still over there! Listen to me, let's go together, let's go back together, don't do stupid things! ”

"Ed...... Great, you're still alive. My sister promised you, and my sister will go back immediately......"

Ace let down his guard against Bronch because of his brother, and Bronch approached Ace at great speed, knocking her away with a claw strike, and the communicator in her hand fell to the ground with a "clang" sound of the screen shattering.

"Sister! Sister! How are you! ”

On the other end of the phone, Dr. Edward apparently heard Ace's movement here, so he immediately signaled the Valkyries who had come to carry out the clean-up mission to leave here, and he broke into the town of Conod alone.

Seeing this, Mei Yi also signaled to Dr. Edward not to be impulsive, and said to him, "Don't go! Doctor, we've already lost you once, and we can't have a second time! ”

Dr. Edward replied, "Don't worry, Captain Mei, my life is very hard, believe me, I can live the first time, there will be a second time." ”

Seeing that she couldn't stop Dr. Edward, who wanted to support her sister, Mei had no choice but to send a message to the other special operations teams who were still dealing with the Honkai infected body in Conod, asking them to quickly gather at the other end of the bridge and evacuate back to Maitreya en masse.

"Miss Ace and ...... Dr. Edward, are they ready to break off for us? This will not work! The safety of personnel is the number one priority, and Sister Glondelle has always told us so! I can't watch them die! ”

Xi'er on the other end of the phone said that they shouldn't just leave Ace and the two of them here like this, and if the situation of "Honkaimon self-destructing" is true, then self-detonation can be avoided by instantaneously twisting and turning.

Mei Yi fell into deep thought again, if Ace and Dr. Edward were really allowed to stay in Conod Town, then after the explosion, the chance of their survival would be infinitely close to zero. However, the discipline of the Mandate of Heaven army cannot be violated, and Ace, who has been given the highest operational command authority, cannot question her orders as orders.

Seeing that Mei Yi was in trouble, team member Adam was also trying to ask Mei Yi in front of him what to do next, Mei Yi just shook her head, saying that the order must obey "human nature", otherwise it would be meaningless, and ordered all members of the third unit to go to the interior of Conod Town to support Ace.

"I'm sorry, Sir Ace, but I can't take your orders...... We are not the kind of people who will sacrifice others to accomplish our own ends. Mei said slowly.

"That's what we think too." Adam said he agreed with Mei Ai. "Then the two nuns will go back on their own, so as not to get into trouble."

However, the two nuns of the Arc Star Church had no intention of leaving. And they also have to follow the big army this time, after all, in the Valkyrie troops, there are old acquaintances of Sister Xing over there, she said:

"That guy Ciel is here too, right? Uncle Ben came to talk to her this time, how could he give up this opportunity? ”

"Mo Manlei will also help you, do your last bit of Mo Mango Lei!"

The two nuns insisted on going with the members of Unit 3, and when they saw that the nuns had also made this decision, Mei Yi asked the nuns to follow her. Immediately afterwards, Captain Wendy of Unit 1 and Captain Ciel of Unit 5 also converged, and the two troops rushed to Conrad Central Square, where Ace was attacked.

"Hey, is it the front command? That's ......"

Edward took out the communicator lent to him by the logistic medical staff, called the front-line command of the operation, and explained the appearance of the "unknown-level" Honkai Beast aberration. However, after learning about the situation of "Bronch", the boss also named this new level of Honkaimon after the temporary level of "Catastrophe Class".

Calamity-level Honkai Beasts, collectively referred to as Honkai Beasts that can cause huge disasters in a short period of time, are classified as a separate type of Honkai Beasts. These Honkai Beasts are known as "Walking Scourges" due to their ability to cause huge explosions in a large area, as well as Honkai memetic infections, and are classified as "Cataclysmic Honkaimon".

The front-line command was managed by Glolander, and after learning of this information, the staff also called Glolander. "Who can stop the effects of this explosion on people?" Glondelle was also starting to think about the right person she could send at the moment.

In the end, she came up with an accurate answer, there is only one person who can use her power to protect all the team members from harm.

"Rin."

This is her answer, only Rin, who can instantly unfold the "Queen Sequence Royal Phalanx", can stop the impact of the explosion fluctuations on everyone in an instant, and is the only answer that can stop all this.

So, she decided to send Rin to the front line to support the Valkyries and Ash agents, and immediately called Bishop Delisa, explaining Rin's importance to the security of the personnel this time.

"I see, let's let Rin give it a try...... After all, I can't let everyone die in Conod. ”

At the notice of Glolander, Bronya and Rin boarded the Hela, jumped out of the sea as fast as she could, drove the warp jump system, and rushed to the action site with maximum horsepower.

"Don't push yourself."

This is the only thing Captain Bronya asks of him, and if Rin has another accident, it will be unacceptable to Bronya, who has seen Rin fused into Dagama's body. When they came to the sky above the center of Conod's town, and looked at the plaster-like dust that had turned into plaster after the death of the collapsed distorted objects all over the ground, they knew that the clean-up operation was almost complete.

However, when they saw the three Valkyrie squads on the ground facing the mantis Honkai beast that was already emitting a violent red light, they hurriedly opened the hatch, and the two of them flew down from the sky.

"Rin, get ready to use the royal phalanx."

"I understand."

Time is very short, the cataclysmic Honkai Beast is about to explode itself, and it is estimated that it has absorbed too many attacks from Ace, and the core of its body is beginning to show signs of instability, and it gradually begins to melt.

"Boom! Lord Agnes! Despair, Lord! I drop the task...... That's it!! ”

Seeing that Bronch was about to blow himself up, Ace didn't speak, turned his head to look at the players who came to support behind him, and showed a relieved smile.

"It seems that I am not alone......"

She took Dr. Edward's hand beside her, and it was her lifelong wish to be able to move forward with the support of so many companions. I saw that her right hand froze with a crimson dark electric light, trying to use her last strength to protect all the Valkyries who came to support her to leave safely.

She wanted to free herself from the stigmata ban in her body, and if she did, she might completely disappear from this world like the Valkyries who had been overly corrupted by the Honkai. Because she is only a "powerful Valkyrie" except for her "Awakening Stigma", she has no power to get close to the "Lawgiver", so she can only end it all in this way.

However, everything changes when the boy with the "power to protect others" arrives on the battlefield.

"Life Sequence...... Activate and get ready to unfold the royal phalanx! Nielle! ”

"Yes, master, Nelle is ready! Let's go! ”

However, just as Ace was about to contact the ban, a huge dome composed of hexagonal force field scales fell from the sky, protecting all the team members into the royal phalanx. With Bronch's grimace before he died, a huge explosion of energy was released from his body, exploding on the ground like a small nuclear bomb.

"What's going on......"

When Ace realized that Rin was struggling to drive the royal phalanx of Hypernetus to fend off the powerful explosion for everyone, Bronya also unfurled the protective stance of the dimensional armor, forming a turquoise barrier on the inner wall of the royal phalanx again.

The two forces that existed for protection fused into one, and the explosion soon spread to every part of the town, destroying life and collapsing houses wherever they went.

Everyone looked at the young man in front of them who was struggling to raise their swords for them, and Bronya, who was supporting the barrier, and they only felt that their feet were shaking, but the explosion did not hurt them in the slightest. When the explosion was over, and Rin was relieved of his barrier ban, Bronya stepped forward and put her right hand on Rin's shoulder, smiling at him and complimenting him on a job well done.

Rin was just gasping for air, as if all the energy he had just released was already his limit. Because the energy generated by this "Calamity-level Honkai Beast" after its self-explosion was very huge, he also used all his strength to resist its fluctuations.

"Whew...... Finally...... Caught up. ”

Mei and the others also gathered around Rin, and when they learned that Dr. Edward had spoken on the phone with the front command before he arrived, the members of the team began to cheer.

"I didn't expect us to be safe, thank you, Agent Ash."

Ace stepped forward and held out her hand to Rin, motioning for Rin to shake hands with her and show Rin his gratitude. Rin said "This is what I should do, there is no need to thank me", and shook Ace's hand, saying that he also did his part, which is not something to be praised.

At this time, Dr. Edward also stepped forward, showed a hint of a smile, and said to him angrily: "You kid, it would be nice if you could come earlier, and you don't need to come here with the consciousness of death." ”

Rin replied angrily, "If it weren't for the fact that the boss didn't let me fight, I should have followed." ”

Everyone stepped onto the deck of the Hela and prepared to evacuate the operation site, during this operation, due to the support of Rin and Bronya, none of the three teams were injured, and all of them left the operation site safe and sound.

After this incident, Bronch Okawija, one of the "mechanics" of the Polaris League of New Arcadia, was confirmed dead, and the end of Conod Town ended with being blown up.

As a result, the "Plague of Despair" spread from the small town of Conod has disappeared, and the operation to retake the stronghold is about to take a turn for the better. Although Agnes will continue to spread the "Plague of Despair" in the future, Destiny has long been prepared to fight it for a long time to prevent the resurrection of "Dagama of Despair".

After the operation, Dr. Edward asked Rin to go to the café for afternoon tea, and since Bronya was still with him, Dr. Edward had to invite the two of them to have coffee together. Bronya talked about Dr. Edward's "resurrection", and Dr. Edward also told the whole story:

"That's the way it is, it was my mother, Lady Liesel, who asked Mr. Harvey to turn on and off my spare body, but Agnes was the first to notice this and revive me."

When Dr. Edward told him about his resurrection, Rin didn't say much about it, but Bronya was surprised.

"Really...... I don't know where to start, Dr. Edward, while your return is a good thing for us, you should be prepared for 'sacrificing yourself', right? ”

"How so...... I know my personality, if I really want to sacrifice myself to protect my companions, I will choose to do this, after all, I am my sister's own brother, we are all carved out of the same mold, we are all the kind of people who are 'born for others', this is a character, not an enlightenment. ”

Rin listens while sipping iced coffee through a straw, and they still drink coffee at Frey's shop, where they are regulars. When they learned that Frey was going to be transferred to the home team "Unit 4", everyone also congratulated her.

Since the lady of Frey has been promoted, she decides to treat everyone to a free drink, and says to them: "Come, please, in order to congratulate me on my promotion, this cup is considered to be my invitation to you, and you can refill it for free?" ”

She seemed very happy, after all, there were not many opportunities to get promoted, and it was also due to the fact that she had achieved significant results in intelligence work, and the management of the Ministry of Personnel, Ms. Aponia, of the Thirteen Men Council of the Mandate of Heaven, gave her this opportunity.

"Captain Rosati and you are not familiar with each other?" Frey began to ask them for information about the "future captain". "How is she? Is it strict? And also...... Is the salary she gives high? ”

Rin said that Captain Rosati and everyone were not very familiar with each other. Because she is usually responsible for the most work that belongs to the "intelligence category", and the one who docks with the Fourth Unit the most is naturally the intelligence department managed by Grecell.

Bronya also often communicates with Greshua on her own, and when she tries to ask Rin about her and "Rosati's" intelligence handling, that is better. Rin said, "How do I know, I'm usually a 'meat shield' for you, and I'm only responsible for fighting, and I'm not good at intelligence or anything." ”

When Rin said that she was "not good at intelligence work", Bronya also choked him and said, "Then why did you collect so much information about the 'New Arcadia' before?" You kid don't have to be sloppy with your captain and me every time in this regard, okay? ”

Seeing that the two seemed to be starting to quarrel, Frey also said: "Seeing that your relationship is still so good, I am relieved, if you need anything, just call me." ”

As Frey continues to greet the guests, Dr. Edward talks to them about the "Honkai" of the world. From his mouth, it can be known that the "Honkai" produced in the second world is actually a part of the "trial of despair" as described in the "Ten Heavenly Sacred Sayings".

Since the "Ten Heavenly Saints" are all infected with Honkai, and the Great Honkai created by the Ten Heavenly Saints is characterized by its strong infectiousness and memetic contamination ability to human genes. Unlike the First World he had previously observed, the First World was influenced by the "Law of the End" and constantly opened the cycle of human civilization.

However, since the beginning of the influence of the "Celestial Sage-Xiru", the reincarnation of the First World has also ended with the self-extinction of the "Lawgiver of the End". Instead, there is an Earth wrapped in a metal Dyson sphere, inside which it is unaware of what is going on.

"In other words, our world is just a small 'if' line in the 'future' of the first world...... According to this argument, we are all counted as dead in the First World, right? ”

Bronya understands everything Dr. Edward is saying, after all, she is also a high-IQ part-time program architect. Rin had also heard from Dr. Edward about everything related to the establishment of the "Star Alliance" before, and if it was according to the development process of the First World, the entire timeline of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers had all changed at the moment when the "Heavenly Sage" appeared.

The current "Humble Heavenly Sage-Xiru" is not only the leader of the Star Alliance, but what she is doing may also have something to do with the "influence she brings". Although she is not aware of her current motives and plans, Edward said that she is not likely to be the "culprit" who caused the First World to become like this, but that someone else is to blame.

"As far as I know, the second world belonged to the 'big world bubble' that was the easiest to observe on the entire imaginary number tree, after all, it developed so smoothly, and in recent years, the volume of the second world bubble has shown a process of geometric multiple growth."

"When that guy came to Earth and came to the 'New Arcadia Technology Co., Ltd.,' I happened to go over there, so if you're patient, I'll tell you about these things."

So, Dr. Edward also talked about how three years ago, at the age of 20, he was transferred to work at the "New Arcadia Headquarters". It was also at that time that Agnes and Dr. Edward met, and Dr. Edward at that time had no idea how much of a conspiracy was brewing for this mysterious man named "Agnes".

Three years ago, Second World North America New Arcadia Headquarters

"Hello, my name is Agnes and I'm here to apply for a job...... This is my resume, as well as my project experience, please take a look at it. ”

At that time, everyone in New Arcadia Technology Co., Ltd. was working hard to get a better life, and with the efforts of New Arcadia, the living standards of human beings were also greatly improved.

Not only because of the application of "Honkai energy ore", but also because of the full-scale mass production of fully automated technical products, people have begun to enjoy the life of "getting food without going to work".

It was at this time that the man named "Agnes" came to the New Arcadia Company and claimed that he had a group of technical teams who wanted to bring New Arcadia to the company for more benefits.

Although New Arcadia was not founded for profit, as a temporary base of the Genesis Alliance in the Second World, the necessary expenses to maintain the company were still one of the main goals.

"So, Lady Cocoria, what do you think?"

"Since this is exactly what you said, we have a one-week team trial here, and if you can do what you say, we'll grant your request."

What Cocolia is talking about is the research project of Agnes and his technical team on "CP72-Honkai Energy Triangular Crystallization". Although the whereabouts and whereabouts of Cocolia are unknown, Dr. Edward judged that Cocoria's disappearance must be inextricably linked to "Agnes".

The approval of this project can greatly reduce the consumption of Honkai crystalline ore energy, so that the efficiency of the Honkai energy provided by each crystalline unit can be increased by about 40%, and therefore, the Honkai energy can replace the use of electricity and become a new clean energy.

The results of this study, for the second world at that time, were simply a great advance in the field of science and technology. After all, it can replace electricity with Honkai energy, and the production efficiency can also be greatly improved, and the benefits brought are simply countless.

At that time, Dr. Edward did not join the Star Alliance, and it was because Dr. Liesel knew his talent and wisdom that he was able to get a position here. As a member of the energy R&D team, the young Edward Belmont was transferred to the technical team of Agnes as a technician to help with the development of the project.

However, by then, Agnes's claws had already reached out to him, and everything had changed before he realized that he had been infected with the "Imitation Lawgiver".

Agnes' project was a success, not only did he quickly move up the ranks in New Arcadia, but he also acquired a 37% stake in the company, and gradually he and the people he brought with him began to take more power in New Arcadia.

Things gradually turned out to be as Agnes had imagined, not only using humans as a breeding ground for research and collapse, but also making Dr. Edward a member of the "North Star Alliance" he founded.

When Dr. Edward realizes that something is wrong, he discovers that Cocolia has long been in cahoots with Agnes, and she begins to support all of Agnes' efforts and kicks out all the heroes who had developed the "Honkai Energy Crystallization Triangle" out of New Arcadia.

When he discovered that Agnes was secretly developing a biological weapon within the New Arcadia Corporation, Agnes captured him and, after testing his abilities as a "mimic lawyer", chartered him to become a member of the Polaris Alliance.

At that time, Cocolia was also trying to gain full power of the "Polaris Alliance" from Agnes. After all, the vast majority of the members of the Polaris Alliance are monsters known as "mimetic lawyers", and if they want to use these people for their own use, then Cocolia will be able to control the whole of New Arcadia.

Seeing that Cocolia had a different heart, Edward stayed in the Polaris Alliance, watching Cocoria while seeking an opportunity to escape. However, Agnes had anticipated Cocoria's thoughts and managed to get her to leave New Arcadia, where her whereabouts are still unknown.

It wasn't until Dr. Liesel found him and brought him to the "Star Alliance" that Edward officially joined the Star Alliance, acting as the only member of the Second World to join the Star Alliance, acting to stop Agnes' plans.

After listening to Dr. Edward's story, and also drinking her coffee, Bronya decides to take Rin to dinner and have Dr. Edward eat with her.

"I can't, there's something to deal with next...... Akia still needs me to take care of her, she told me that there is an emergency patient who needs surgery, and she can't do it alone, and she needs me to go over and help her. ”

"Well, then, we'll go first."

After saying goodbye to Rin, Dr. Edward left for the office where he had been in the First Medical Hospital, where he had been for a long time. Seeing that Akia was still helping him sort out his papers, he hurriedly stepped forward and motioned for Akiya to go about his own business.

"I'm sorry, I'm used to doing that...... Especially when you're not there, doctor. ”

"It's okay, don't you see I'm coming back again? Don't be so tired, I'll do these things. ”

Taking the document from Akia's hand, Akia threw herself into Dr. Edward's arms and began to sob.

"I ...... I can't do it...... Doctor...... So, I'm afraid of losing your ......"

Seeing that Akia was so emotional, Dr. Edward gently put his hand on the back of her head and stroked her little head along her hair. Akia misses her doctor brother so much that she still hopes that the doctor brother will not leave her again.

"It's okay, oops, you've bothered during this time, and I'm thankful that you took the pressure off me when I was away, isn't it getting better? Don't cry, good, you used to be a crybaby, why are you still like this now? ”

"Hmm."

Akia is 16 years old, and because she is so young, Dr. Edward wants her to learn more so that she can grow into a qualified physician in the future. After Akia left, Dr. Edward sighed, "I didn't expect her to care so much about me, and she used to ...... like this."

Just as Akia was leaving, the phone on his desk rang, and the caller was someone who had also come to him often before, the Thirteen Valkyrie High Council of Destiny, Lady Mebius the "Sin-Eater Serpent".

"Come on, I have something to discuss with you, do you hear? Mice. ”

Miss Mebius only said a short sentence and hung up. Dr. Edward prepared to leave the house and take a fully automated taxi from the underground to the Sky Research Institute.

As the dean, Mebius has always valued Dr. Edward's talents. Although Dr. Edward, who was quite accomplished in many fields of research, eventually chose to pursue a career in medicine, Mebius still needed his ability to study problems in other fields.

When he arrived at Miss Mebius's office, Dr. Edward was shocked to learn that a vaccine was going to be made for the "Plague of Despair" and asked about the feasibility of the project.

"It's because something went wrong with the project, and then Mikaledia's scruffy woman wasn't there...... That's why I found you as her chief disciple, come on, boy, hiss~"

"Alas, Aunt Lai is so virtuous every time, pushing important things to me to do."

The Doctor sighed, and since Dr. Edward's return, the rumor that the Doctor was busy had been recounted by Akia. And Dr. Edward himself has no opinion, after all, what she said is true, and he can't refute it.
