Chapter 98

"Whatever, it doesn't matter. How could he possibly pursue a doctor from the previous era?"

"My grandson seems quite good. Do you have a photo?"

"Can I see the person?"

"I wish I could make it to his wedding."

Kevin suddenly launched into a long tirade, like a gentle yet rambling old man concerned for his grandson. Gray Serpent suddenly felt a sense of relief. It seemed his lord was in a good mood. The rest would be easier to handle.

"Not going too smoothly," Gray Serpent said. "Let's get to it."

"Then wait until I get out of here," Kevin said, seemingly wanting to laugh. "I'll give that silly boy some advice."

"I am most familiar with the people from the previous era."

"But you didn't come here just to talk about this, did you?" Kevin asked. "Using this precious time to tell me these things?"

"Gray Serpent, you're acting a bit strange today."

"No, no, no!" Gray Serpent said again, "Of course, it wasn't specifically for this purpose."

"Actually..." Gray Serpent hesitated for a moment before saying, "I had the World Serpent's executives invite her to the World Serpent. Yes! I just invited her! There was absolutely no packing or taking her away, or her doing anything strange."

"And we definitely didn't drink any alcohol before we made that determination."

"You've actually started joking around." Kevin seemed a little impatient.

He didn't want to listen to any nonsense during such precious communication time.

"That's how it is," the Gray Serpent said. "You...you need to be mentally prepared."

"We all believe she must have a way to get you out of the Sea of Quantum, and in fact, she probably does. But she doesn't seem too keen on it."

"I didn't intend to bring you out of the Sea of Quantum."

"So," Kevin said, as if he had discovered something, "She seems to know me?"

"Yes," Gray Serpent said, "She knows you, and you're quite familiar with each other."

"But this person seems very heartless and doesn't care about your feelings at all, even though we have tried very hard to persuade her. But she still refuses."

"Do you know me?"

Kevin racked his brains trying to think of this doctor he was relatively familiar with.

If she wasn't willing to save him, then she must have some kind of grudge against him. But it's hard to say who this researcher might be. Anyway, Kevin couldn't think of anyone for the time being.

I felt that I shouldn't have offended anyone so much that they wouldn't have stood by and helped me even when I was in trouble.

However, it's really hard to predict people's hearts. You might not even realize that you've offended someone, but you've definitely offended someone in some way.

"Don't you even have the slightest intention of helping?" Kevin sneered. "If it's really impossible, then forget it."

"As long as it doesn't delay our plans, it's fine."

"Preparations are proceeding smoothly," Gray Serpent hurriedly and respectfully said. "We're basically just waiting for the Lord to appear."

"However, she wasn't completely without options."

Gray Serpent added, "After much persuasion, she finally gave us a suggestion that seemed quite feasible."

"Let me discuss this with you."

"What suggestion?" Kevin asked, seemingly interested.

"The one who tied the knot must untie it," Gray Serpent said succinctly and quickly.

"..."

There was silence on the other end of the phone!

After a while, even Gray Serpent felt that this was completely impossible and that they had to think of another way.

"Say it again?" Kevin said. "The signal wasn't very good here just now. Say it again?"

"This!" Gray Serpent hesitated for a moment. The Lord must have heard it! It couldn't be a bad signal, could it? This is a full 5G signal, how could it be bad?!

Therefore, it still needs to be explained in detail.

Whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll still get stabbed.

I can't escape it, so I might as well tell you.

"That's how it is." Gray Serpent organized his thoughts and said, "This doctor said that we still need to find that SU. Since he has the ability to lock you up, he must also have the ability to release you."

"So she told us to go find SU, and that she would personally seduce SU to rescue you."

"..." There was silence on the other end of the phone again.

A very long time passed!

For the Gray Serpent, this could truly be a longer wait than 1,500 years.

"Good! Good! Good!" came three resounding "Good!"s.

"What's that good-for-nothing's name?" Kevin said in a very calm voice, "That self-righteous good-for-nothing who came up with such garbage ideas."

"You actually came to ask me?"

"Alright." Kevin asked emphatically, "What's that good-for-nothing's name?"

"Her name is MEI," Gray Serpent said solemnly. "According to our investigation, it was discovered after careful investigation, thorough research, and in-depth study."

"She is that MEI."

Chapter 128 My Goddess

The Jackal is back, the Gray Serpent is back, and of course, the Raven can't be absent either.

This way, the original trio is complete again.

"How is it?" Raven wearily.

The person who could throw the Lord into the Sea of Quantum is no ordinary person; she's not some ancient monster like the Gray Serpent who's lived for an unknown amount of time. I've never seen SU before.

We can only find this person based on some peripheral information.

This is truly like finding a needle in a haystack.

It's hard to find someone!

"The situation..." Gray Serpent said, adopting a very serious expression, "How should I explain the situation?"

"Please don't panic or be afraid, everyone."

"This isn't bad news."

"It's hard to say what will happen..."

"What's so hard to say?" Jackal looked completely troubled and said, "I don't think there can be anything worse than having the lab demolished, right?"

The laboratory was demolished, but the preliminary research results are still there.

However, half of the initial investment in equipment for the lab is now wasted, and almost none of the experimental equipment is in good condition. Doctor Mei has excellent hands-on skills.

That's ridiculously good.

In the Jackal's eyes, this fighting ability was probably like something out of a comedy comic. You could even say it was like a cat that could do everything except catch mice.

After fiddling around a bit, it's finally fixed in a flash.

That's special effects!

This must have had special effects added!

How did she manage to do it?

I have absolutely no idea!

But it's fixed now.

Then the Jackal tried it himself and failed.

So how did that PhD student manage to do that?! I just can't understand it! I can't fathom it! It's not scientific! It's extremely, extremely unscientific!

DIY crafts from the last era were practically True Magic!

The Jackal had a headache...

She can't do it herself; none of the experimental equipment in the lab is intact, so she can't do any experiments she wants. What's even more frustrating is that the PhD student doesn't want to leave!

You can mess with whoever you want! But can you please stop targeting me and causing all that trouble?

Jackal was having a headache; even now, he sensed that bad news might be on the way.

Could it get any worse than this?

The Jackal has a headache!

The Gray Serpent is even more troubled.

Although everyone was mentally prepared.

But...

'I shouldn't have listened to the Jackal.' Gray Serpent secretly glared resentfully at the Jackal, since this time they had acted on her advice.

Jackal had been actively trying to bring the doctor over. So he believed him.

They thought everything would be fine once the PhD arrived.

As a result, there were even more problems than before.

"In short, this news isn't too good, but it's not too bad either," Gray Serpent said. "It's about the Jackal's previous suggestion."

"What was the result? What is the Lord's thought?" The Jackal became slightly interested; she was quite keen to know the Lord's true intentions. What if he released Mei?

That would save her some major trouble.

How wonderful!

Of course, she had already made up her mind to send the doctor to Raven, and it would be just as good as Raven taking over.

"This... that... maybe... probably... perhaps..."

This was the first time Gray Serpent had used so many words in a single sentence. The Lord's attitude was really hard to judge. It couldn't be said to be a very good attitude, but it couldn't be said to be so bad that it was beyond repair either.

"That's right," the Gray Serpent said. "I heard the Lord shout 'MEI'."

Actually, no.

After Gray Serpent finished speaking, the call ended. Aside from a buzzing sound, there was nothing else, but Gray Serpent figured that the Lord on the other end certainly hadn't hung up in anger.

He must have been so excited that he crushed the communicator.

But what kind of excitement was it?

This Gray Serpent was unsure of what to do.

But he remembered, Jackal remembered too.

"I seem to remember saying something like that," the Jackal said, stroking his chin, "That the Lord is a sycophant of Mei..."

This is something that comes after seeing something from memory, and in order not to forget it, it is shouted out in the most concise, precise, and even most memorable way.

So I remember most of it.

"No! That's impossible!" Raven said. "The Lord could not be anyone's lapdog."

"Has everyone forgotten?"

"Hmm." Gray Serpent coughed and said, "That's right, that aloof, noble, elegant, wise, and composed Lord could never become someone else's lapdog."

"But MEI could indeed be it."

"The Goddess in the Lord's heart." Jackal used a more euphemistic way of putting it.

"So..." the Jackal asked, "Then what does Your Excellency mean?"

"Acquiesce," the Gray Serpent said.

Actually, no, the communicator was in disarray, how could it possibly be speaking? Who knows what the Lord did after receiving the message? Anyway, this is just Gray Serpent's guess.

The current issue is definitely whether MEI can be released or not, and it must be treated properly.
