Chapter 76

"Two Valkyrie reincarnated as one man," Gray Serpent mocked. "Raven, are you sure your information isn't wrong?"

"Actually, that's possible," Jackal said. "Although my research on the soul isn't particularly in-depth, there's no necessary causal relationship between the previous life and the next life after reincarnation."

"You should know that Otto of Schicksal has a very deep understanding of the soul."

"That simp?" Gray Serpent pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that the core of all his actions is to resurrect Kallen Kaslana, right?"

Gray Serpent still knows Otto, that sycophant.

Despite his poor reputation, Otto is undeniably a very capable individual, especially in research on the soul.

"Yes," the Jackal said. "Otto stopped his research because he could no longer retrieve Kallen's soul."

"Kallen's soul may have been reincarnated."

"If Kallen's reincarnation doesn't die, and assuming we can't find Kallen's reincarnation," Jackal explained, "All of Otto's actions right now are meaningless."

"It's impossible for him to bring Kallen back to life unless he finds Kallen's reincarnation, or confirms that Kallen's reincarnation is dead and her soul has not yet been reincarnated."

"What does that have to do with this person?" Gray Serpent asked again. "Don't tell me he's Kallen's reincarnation!"

"We're not entirely sure about that," the Jackal said. "But thanks to Otto, we've learned that he is the reincarnation of Cecilia and King Arthur."

"Because Otto once conducted soul experiments on this person and awakened his past life."

"Then what does this have to do with Doctor Mei?" Gray Serpent continued to ask.

"Based on my research and deductions," Jackal said, adjusting his mask, "Once the past life is awakened, it will continuously revive, according to the intelligence we have obtained."

"Otto initially revived the memories of the 'King Arthur' era, but that was the first thing he showed."

"But not King Arthur, but Cecilia in this life."

"So what you mean?" Gray Serpent suddenly understood these questions.

"That's the idea," Raven said. "Otto lost control of its progress after it was awakened. He didn't initially expect to awaken Cecilia in this life."

"The personality and memories of this cleaner Li Pu are still the dominant ones."

"This is also their reincarnation in this life, which is normal."

"However," Jackal added, replacing Raven, "Based on our estimates, and also on certain deals Otto and Siegfried have reached and things that are already known."

"If you keep awakening, or consistently awaken, the memories and personality of a certain past life, after reaching a certain level..."

"The previous life will replace this life and officially revive."

"In some ways," Jackal explained, "We can call it 'resurrection'."

"And recently," Raven said, "This cleaner named Li Pu on the Hyperion hasn't been around for two days, and instead, this woman has become more active."

"Hyperion's AI, Ai- Hyperion, treated her with utmost respect and obeyed her every word."

"Her identity was also newly assigned."

"So we have reason to suspect," Jackal said. "She is probably one of Li Pu's past lives, who was recently awakened by accident and is temporarily in this state."

"Another point that is fairly certain is that her research on Honkai is also quite advanced."

"It's hard to say exactly to what extent."

"But Raiden Mei's mother," Jackal asked, "Doesn't she seem to be a researcher?"

World Serpent didn't pay much attention to Mei's situation. It's not that it completely ignored it, though.

"How confident are you?" Gray Serpent asked.

"It's still very early, so we can't judge how well these findings match our speculations," said Raven. "But we are at least 90% certain that she is one of Li Pu's reincarnations."

"Otto has awakened one reincarnation," the Jackal said, "And the others will awaken one after another."

"And we believe," Jackal said, "That these reincarnations might, once they awaken to a certain extent, vie for control of this body, for dominance."

"If we don't help Doctor Mei fight for dominance, she may be replaced by another reincarnation."

"That's not good," the Gray Serpent said, shaking its head.

This is definitely not what they wanted to see; MEI is gone. But one thing is certain: MEI will certainly be of some help to their small goals.

"But what if she really is Mei's mother?" Gray Serpent asked again.

"We can use the Raiden Ryoma to test the waters first," Raven said.

"Even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness." Raven explained, "Although it's just a reincarnation, and he doesn't currently have the upper hand, if something really happens to Raiden Ryoma..."

"I don't think she'll have no reaction at all."

"Moreover," Jackal said, "I personally feel..."

"She must be MEI!"

Chapter 105 No enmity whatsoever

"This cookbook is really quite comprehensive..."

Blurry!

It's not that you can't watch it.

MEI put down the recipe in her hand; this recipe was truly indescribable.

When teaching cooking in China, vague terms like "appropriate," "a little," and "sufficient" are often used. They don't specify precisely how much salt is appropriate, how much soy sauce is sufficient, or how much peppercorn is a little.

In reality, specifying the exact amount of salt and soy sauce in grams for a family kitchen is not very meaningful.

Because cooking is not something that can be fully quantified based on various data.

It possesses a strong degree of subjective initiative.

Even if you specify the quantities, what good will it do? It's useless, as these quantities will vary depending on the cook's feel, the size of their hands, and the size of the tools they use.

These changes also resulted in each person's dish tasting different.

And this recipe that the system gave MEI...

"It even knows exactly what posture you use to cook!" MEI complained. "This system even captured the exact way Mei's mother cooks."

It's very clear; they even filmed exactly how you flip the wok.

It's like they've set up a dozen cameras and used various lenses, afraid of missing a single detail. It's almost like they're giving you a step-by-step tutorial on how to be a wife...

To be more precise, this is a step-by-step guide on how to be a mother.

If you study it seriously, you might actually be able to be a good mother, well, I'm just referring to your cooking skills.

But...

"What is this 'infusing motherly love'?" MEI said, distressed. "How am I supposed to know what this 'infusing motherly love' is?!"

Just like in some anime, as long as there is love, anything is possible.

If you infuse food with love, even the Dark Cuisine will explode and instantly reach the peak of sensory experience!

But what kind of weird operation is this, injecting love into food?

I don't understand MEI, I don't know how to figure it out, and I don't know how to operate it.

I thought about it carefully for a long time...

"Beep~ Student card, identity verification failed."

'Here we go again...' MEI's mood instantly soured. There aren't many people who would do something like this. But does it really matter how eagerly one is to eat?

Did you just agree to come over for lunch this afternoon?

We're not ready yet!

Can we come over in a few days?

Mei is in a bad mood, and avoiding her isn't the best approach. Currently, there aren't many places she can go outside the lab. And it's best to avoid being questioned by busybodies.

While an electronic identity can provide cover, it shouldn't be taken too seriously; if someone were to actually investigate, it would be very troublesome.

After hesitating for only a second or two, MEI made her choice. She casually tossed the recipe into the drawer, stood up, and decided to open the door.

There's no way to avoid it anyway. If you don't open the door, you'll just have to keep listening to the access control beeping.

It's annoying enough to drive anyone crazy!

I went to the door and opened it.

"What are you doing at the office door Mei?" Himeko asked, a little surprised. Mei had just come over after class and asked, "Are you alone?"

Looking around, I couldn't see Kiana.

Mei usually spends time with Kiana.

It's rather unusual for me to come here alone today.

"Is there some kind of period?" Himeko asked, slightly curious. "Judging from your expression, it seems you've encountered a very difficult problem. You want my help, right?"

"Mei?"

"Yes... yes..." Mei was in a bad mood, and her face showed a conflicted expression.

"What happened?"

Upon seeing Mei like this, Himeko realized that Mei seemed to be in real trouble. Mei wasn't like Kiana, who was so clueless and couldn't hide anything. Her emotions were all written on her face.

Mei is more composed Kiana, and similarly, if she encounters a problem, unless it's a major or particularly troublesome one...

She wouldn't just date anyone.

"Um... can I go inside and talk?" Mei asked.

"Of course." Himeko led Mei into her office, put down her lesson plan, and said, "Tell me now, and I'll help you with whatever it is."

"Hmm." Mei was in a very bad mood. She just responded with a hum without saying what had happened.

Mei handed an envelope to Himeko.

"This?" Himeko frowned slightly and asked, "What is this?"

Mei, but Himeko knew that the reason Mei was so conflicted and upset must be related to this letter.

Could it be an extortion letter? A threatening letter? Or some other kind of letter?

That shouldn't be the case, right?

Schicksal still values Valkyrie. If anyone dares to threaten her with Valkyrie family or some kind of Valkyrie, even if she is Trainee Valkyrie, it will be a serious threat.

They could all be used directly as materials for land reclamation in Tokyo Bay.

What's in this letter?

Himeko glanced at Mei. Since Mei hadn't said she would give her the envelope, it meant she should read it herself.

Upon examining the envelope, it was found to be an anonymous letter. The sender and sender were unknown.

The letter has been opened.

Mei must have taken it apart herself.

Himeko took out the envelope and looked at it.

Photos and several letters.

"This is..." Himeko was immediately shocked. She frowned and said, "Your father?"

Mei nodded, her conflicted and sad expression becoming even more pronounced. She clutched the hem of her clothes with both hands, biting her lip as if she were about to cry.

"What... what should we do?" Mei asked, her voice trembling with tears. "My father..."

"They actually did something like that."

Mei is no longer a naive little girl who knows nothing about emotions. She understands the significance of these photos and letters, and she is even more aware of the changes they will bring to her family.

She finally found her mother after a long and difficult journey.

It was not easy to gradually put this family back together.

But now... now...

'Raiden Ryoma cheated on his wife?!' Himeko immediately sensed that something was amiss!
