Chapter 92

But this is not to rescue our Lord.

Something's not right here!

The Jackal paced back and forth in her small room, hesitating whether to call Gray Serpent over to discuss the matter. Raven must have caught the wrong person; this was Mei.

The only problem is why it feels like we've opened a Pandora's box.

What kind of being did they bring back this time?!

'Finally, we've gotten rid of that Jackal.'

MEI adjusted her glasses.

As a scientist, Jackal was naturally unhappy with MEI's demand that she hand over her research right away. Jackal certainly wouldn't give MEI all of her research data.

But at least she met another of MEI's requirements.

She was given some peripheral materials to study here at MEI.

Study...

'I can't understand it at all!' MEI finally realized a problem while looking at these materials. With the advancement of scientific research, crossing disciplines is like hitting a brick wall.

The information provided by the Jackal was very peripheral and lacked any core or important documents.

However, MEI still couldn't understand this document.

It recognizes me, but I don't recognize it!

MEI was very embarrassed, holding this document and feeling quite overwhelmed!

'What should I do? What should I do!' Mei thought with a headache, 'It would be terrible if the Jackal figured it out!'

'Oh, my dear Doctor Mei, please use your invincible wisdom to help me think of a solution.'

'If you can help me think of a solution, I'll give you ten pence.'

Regardless of whether ten pence would sway Mei if she were to actually arrive, Mei is currently pacing around like a cat on a hot tin roof.

With great difficulty, he managed to fool the Jackal just as he had fooled the Kiana.

If we wait until the Jackal react...

'Wait a minute...' MEI suddenly calmed down, pinching her chin as she thought, 'Could this Jackal be somewhere...?'

'Hmm, I mean, emotional intelligence, or some other form of intelligence, is inferior to that of Kiana?'

Right, MEI suddenly felt that this Jackal might actually be less intelligent than Kiana in some ways? Although he was a PhD, he was actually fooled by himself using similar methods.

Well, maybe it really isn't as good.

"Aaaaaah! Never mind whether that's true or not!" MEI roared inwardly, "My eternal System A-Dream!"

'Please help me think of a solution!'

"Oh~ didn't you have amnesia?" the system said, its voice tinged with undisguised schadenfreude. "What? Did the Jackal's medicine not work? You didn't lose your memory?"

"No, to be precise, the Jackal's medicine is effective," Mei said. "But it's not entirely effective."

'Although I can't remember anything about my past, and I don't even know who I am.'

'I've forgotten my name, and I've forgotten many things about the present.'

"But I haven't completely forgotten," Mei said. "I still remember a few things."

Indeed, MEI at least remembers that he was captured. She used to be him, he used to have a different name, and he used to have a system that gave him the role of a mother, which he used to fool a Kiana.

"You seem to remember Kiana," the system said. "Do you remember the Daimyo 'Kiana'?"

"I don't remember," MEI said. "Isn't it just called Kiana?"

'And I don't want to deal with Kiana right now.'

'I want to know what I should do?'

'I'm not capable of bringing Kevin out.'

MEI doesn't think I have any way of researching anything that could bring Kevin out of the Sea of Quantum.

"Oh..." the system said, "Then we won't study it? Even if you don't, there won't be any problems."

"How is this possible?!" Mei exclaimed in shock. "How is this possible?! They kidnapped me to study this thing. If they didn't study it..."

'They will definitely kill me!'

"Oh~" the system said, seemingly completely unconcerned, "Then they're brave."

'How dare you kill me!'

"Why wouldn't I dare?" MEI said. "These guys don't look like easy targets. If I don't satisfy them, even if I just fool them a little now, it'll be fine."

"But what if I can't fool them anymore, and they get angry and try to kill me?"

"Then they are truly brave," the system said approvingly. "I really look forward to that day."

"You heartless bastard!" Mei said angrily. "Are you really happy to watch me die?"

"If you're not happy about it, what can I do?" the system retorted. "I'm just a lazy system. You could also think of me as a lottery specialist."

'As for the rest, you can ask me.'

'Then I need to understand it too!'

The system seemed to be telling the truth, and MEI really couldn't find any reason to refute it. Although he had forgotten too many things, this lazy bum was really quite the system.

"Actually, I suggested you complete the task of maternal love before," the system said.

"Motherly love? Who can I love?" MEI retorted. "Is it that muscular bro from earlier, or that shorty who tied me up? Do you think they need it?"

"If you're planning on having sex with Raven, you can give it a try," the system said. "Anyway, trying won't get you pregnant."

'You might just finish it.'

"Seriously," MEI said, "This can be skipped."

"Seriously," the system seemed to say, also becoming serious, "Why don't you try understanding MEI? You probably don't understand the basic principles of how this system works."

'If you've even forgotten this, then you're truly beyond saving.'

"Of course I know this is difficult," the system said. "For most people, it's impossible for learning to make me happy."

'But if you want to understand MEI better, you should be able to learn this state.'

'And you were quite good at pretending just now.'

That's really good; at least it fooled the Jackal. Of course, it's fortunate that the Jackal didn't know anything about MEI.

'If you know a lot about MEI...'

The system suddenly stopped talking.

As the saying goes, a blank sheet of paper is the easiest to draw on, although MEI is not exactly a blank sheet of paper right now. But there is no doubt that if she were to put in the effort to study diligently at this time, she would make rapid progress.

The level is rising rapidly!

Honkai's number one super brain is no joke!

What if she turns around and studies the system...

This feels really bad!

"In short," the system suddenly changed its tune, "Now that you look like MEI, you can move around freely here. No one will have any ill intentions towards you."

'Oh, by the way, since you can't figure out MEI, why don't you try researching that?'

'The Sword of Promised Victory.'

'The Sword of Promised Victory?' MEI was completely baffled. Was the system really that certain?

What's the point of researching the Sword of Promised Victory?

"Yes, yes, yes." The system tried to steer MEI away, saying, "The Sword of Promised Victory lies somewhere in England."

'Why don't you use the guise of researching the Sea of Quantum to study this?'

'As long as you get this thing~'

'Maybe it will take off from Wuhu~'

Chapter 121 You Know a Lot

Pretending, using the pretense of pretense!

After confirming his current survival strategy, MEI picked up the difficult-to-understand document again.

It's hard to understand, but as long as it's useful, that's fine.

The more realistic you are, the safer you will be.

But why...?

'The system might back down?' MEI held the documents in her hand, pretending to consider this question. It seemed like a very interesting one.

Why did the system back down?

MEI always felt that, if my intuition was correct, the system was trying to express something different before and after.

It did want to research MEI and improve its understanding.

If she could increase her knowledge level, her chances of escaping would be much higher. But then the system told her to research the Excalibur.

This is quite interesting.

It seems that the system is consciously guiding her to study in certain directions.

So what's in this?

Is there something fishy about this system?

Must!

MEI is quite certain of her current Instinct, although there is no further evidence to prove that the system is deliberately guiding her in a certain direction for some special purpose.

But this system is definitely deliberately guiding her in some direction.

And this is the Excalibur on the England.

That's really interesting.

'What is this thing?' MEI searched her mind repeatedly, but because of the drug, she couldn't recall anything more about King Arthur.

But I kept searching in my mind.

It seems that this amnesia and memory gaps caused by the temporary blocking of previous memories by drugs have given other memories more room to creep in.

Mei's memories and King Arthur's memories gradually began to become clearer.

Of course, King Arthur's memories seem to be more numerous.

And these two memories seem to coincide at some particular point...

They overlapped!

'SU?!' MEI was a little surprised.

Memories of King Arthur and Mei flooded in like a tide, only to recede just as quickly. Two seemingly different tides overlapped within the same particular person.

In MEI's memories, there is a figure named SU, and similarly, in King Arthur's memories, there is also a figure named SU.

SU, a powerful warrior from the previous era, is King Arthur's guide in this era.

This is actually a little bit intriguing.

It seems that he wants to learn about MEI and King Arthur.

So this SU is someone you absolutely can't get around.

And...

'SU'MEI remembered that Jackal had mentioned this man when he was talking about Kevin.

'Looks like we still need to talk to Jackal about this.'

Someone who seems unavoidable. Perhaps talking to this person could help me figure out how to get out of my current situation.
