Chapter 121

"It seems you have indeed forgotten too many things." SU shrugged and said, "Have you forgotten? The Second Divine Key, Thousand Worlds Cauldron, that you created using the Core of the Void Herrscher."

'Meow meow meow?' MEI didn't show any surprise.

It's just that it's well hidden.

Mei knew about the concept of the Divine Key, but she wasn't entirely sure that she was the one who created it. Or rather, she wasn't sure about the concept itself.

She really didn't understand.

Oh, this thing was made by MEI?

This PhD student is incredibly talented!

I thought I already knew this PhD student was amazing with the help of the system, but I never expected her to be this amazing!

"Ahem." MEI coughed lightly, trying to cover up her slight embarrassment, and said, "Is there a problem?"

There's a saying, "Flattery will get you everywhere." Now, using a knife against her, it's like saying, "A thousand blows, ten thousand blows, but her arrogance won't break." As long as she can keep up this act, even though she's not quite powerful enough yet, she still has the capital to pretend to be a big shot.

"The thing you're looking for is in the Sea of Quantum."

"One of the World Bubble."

"Are you worried about Kevin?" MEI immediately saw through SU's thoughts and said, "Right?"

Mei's estimation was correct; SU was indeed worried about Kevin. The current Mei is not the Mei of the past; she possesses more humanity, and of course, a touch of naiveté. And the current Kevin is not the Kevin of the past; Kevin has become more mad and stubborn.

If MEI insists, SU will still listen to MEI.

But SU is really reluctant to release Kevin now.

"My lord," the Gray Serpent said, "We..."

"What conditions are needed to get Kevin out?" MEI asked, stepping past the Gray Serpent. "How do we do it?"

"You don't necessarily have to do it yourself."

"The Gem of Desire," SU said. "You need this."

"Theoretically speaking, Kevin has now found a way out."

"But Welt Young blocked us at the door."

"That's why they can't get out."

Mei glanced at the Gray Serpent Gray Serpent, which took a half step back and quickly disappeared from the scene.

"MEI." SU seemed to have more questions he wanted to ask.

"It's just a deal," MEI said. "I won't get involved in the rest."

The deal should be considered complete, and theoretically she can return to the Hyperion at any time. However, the actual implementation is uncertain, but theoretically, the deal is done.

Whether Kevin can come back is another question.

"Okay." SU had nothing else to say.

"I want Excalibur," MEI said. "And Avalon!"

This gave SU a bit of a headache; it seemed MEI wouldn't give up until they got their hands on it.

"Why are you so obsessed with this?" SU thought for a moment and said, "This isn't that important to you, is it?"

"Is Bed King without Curry Stick still Bed King?" MEI said something that left SU completely baffled.

SU didn't understand, but at least he learned one thing.

MEI will absolutely not give up until they get this thing.

"Okay," SU said, "But I need to explain to the Doctor first that this thing belongs to something from a strange World Bubble."

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Honkai, but it's not that easy to get this thing either."

"Moreover, although the Thousand Worlds Cauldron can build a bridge for you."

"But you still need to open up the path yourself."

"How should I put it?" SU thought for a moment and said, "It's about needing to be recognized."

"Recognition?" MEI seemed even more curious. SU's words made her even more curious about what this world, or rather, the Excalibur that could be obtained, was.

"Yes," SU said, "That thing isn't something you can use just by getting your hands on it."

"If someone isn't someone you respect, you can't even touch them."

"The door to trials will not be opened to those who cannot be recognized."

"Fine," MEI said indifferently. "I know, all I want Excalibur."

MEI is becoming increasingly curious about this.

"Okay, fine." SU nodded and said, "However, Doctor Mei, I will not offer any assistance in obtaining the Excalibur for you."

Doctor Mei has changed; she is no longer the Doctor Mei I used to know.

The former Doctor Mei would never waste his limited time on such things.

So it seems I need to reassess and observe her; I can't treat her like the former Doctor Mei.

Thinking about this, although it wouldn't be to say that SU has no respect for Doctor Mei at all, he doesn't think that blindly obeying Doctor Mei now is a good option.

However, we will continue to observe her and watch her grow.

That's quite an interesting thing.

Perhaps the current Doctor Mei will take a different path than the former Doctor Mei.

And another thing is...

Regardless of whether Kevin is the same Kevin he once was, staying in World Serpent and encountering Kevin will only bring more trouble. So, avoiding conflict for now is a good thing.

SU agreed to MEI's suggestion, but things won't happen that quickly.

A few days later.

The Hyperion who remained in Sky City were still trying to find the man named Gray Serpent. However, after several days, they found nothing.

"Let's all share our thoughts," Redhead decided, calling a meeting.

Let's have a brainstorming session.

The intelligence department isn't omnipotent; there are some things that can't be accomplished solely by them. And for now, those people in the intelligence department have no news of Gray Serpent either.

Now they can only rely on themselves to see if they can find a breakthrough.

This time it's not just Himeko and Siegfried.

Kiana, Mei, and Bronya are all there.

But it's obvious that these three seem to be just there for show.

Mei seemed to want to say a lot, but didn't know what to say, so she could only wait here.

So Redhead wanted to have a brainstorming session, but the actual situation was very uncooperative.

"Is there really not a single clue?" Redhead scratched his head.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Of course, this doesn't mean he's particularly experienced. If he were experienced, he wouldn't be able to find the information he wants from various clues, nor would he have such strong judgment.

But he was, after all, a novice who had just started out.

A greenhorn fresh out of naval academy.

It has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence.

So, having reached this point, he truly had no other options left. It was as if he had reached a dead end.

The atmosphere was awkward; it seemed no one wanted to say anything. But surely someone has to step forward and say something, right?

"I've been thinking," Siegfried said, glancing around the room. "I've found something that might be a breakthrough. I'm not sure if I should say it."

"What?" Redhead was immediately overjoyed.

"Just say it," Redhead said. "Anything, even just a guess or a deduction."

"You can say anything."

"I won't blame you."

"This..." Siegfried scratched his head, to be honest, this discovery was a bit difficult to explain. If he said it, would Kiana yell at Mei that they were half-sisters?

"Please speak," Himeko added, noticing Siegfried's awkward expression. "Now, every piece of information..."

"It is very important to us."

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about."

"That's how it is." Seeing that Siegfried had said so, Himeko made up his mind and said, "This matter is actually a bit, a bit troublesome."

"You guys," Siegfried said, taking out his phone, "Have you seen this news?"

Siegfried immediately shared the news with everyone.

Himeko looked at it carefully and said, "Isn't this the news about the Sword in the Stone appearing in England?"

A longsword appeared on a street in the London England, stuck in the ground. At first, it was thought to be a prank or something done by some artist.

But no one claimed it, and when the police tried to remove it, they found they couldn't pull it out.

That's right!

I can't pull it out!

So far, the London have tried various methods and deployed various machines, but nothing has been done.

But this thing isn't really in the way.

After discovering that it couldn't be pulled up, the London abandoned it, and now it has become a tourist attraction in London City.

"Is there a problem?" Himeko asked. "This information and Dr. Mei."

"Didn't I say this before?" Siegfried said, "Dr. Mei's English spelling is MEI."

"Yes," Redhead said, "And that's basically why we came here."

"Actually," Siegfried said, scratching his head, "Li Pu, um, my wife, um, Cecilia, once asked me something."

"She asked me if I knew someone named MEI."

"What does it have to do with anything?" Himeko suddenly became serious.

"I certainly don't know anyone named MEI," Siegfried said, arms crossed. "But I found a record about MEI in a notebook I found at home."

"I didn't write it," Siegfried said. "It was written by someone in the family, someone I don't know."

"To be precise, I don't know many people, but I know that the name mentioned here is MEI."

"What do you mean?" Redhead frowned and said, "What does this have to do with anything?"

"Get to the point."

"The key point is," Siegfried said, "Dr. Mei. Mei is Li Pu, Cecilia, Arthur Pendragon, and my wife."

Siegfried emphasized the last sentence.

A deathly silence.

Redhead still didn't understand. He knew Li Pu but had never seen him. He remembered that Valkyrie area on the ship. Of course, Redhead had never met this person.

I still don't understand why they specifically sent someone over; does this person have some kind of backing?

But he was still deceived by so many identities.

"It was just a guess before," Siegfried said, "But it should be pretty close to the truth."

"Mei," Siegfried said seriously, "I want to say, well, it's cruel to say, but I want to say that your mother is not still alive."

"She has indeed passed away."

"But that's impossible!"

Before Himeko could speak, Kiana jumped up and exclaimed, "Mom isn't?!"

"I don't know about that," Siegfried shrugged. "But I think my guess is right, so she will definitely be here."
