Fallen Angel of Wisdom
In a laboratory at a top university in the Americas.
A girl with light blue hair was adjusting various instruments all by herself.
Suddenly, she noticed something amiss in her most recent data analysis, and hurriedly went to her computer to retrieve her previously saved data.
"This fluctuation... it's the same energy fluctuation that appeared in Visakha City and over the Pacific Ocean, emanating from the same entity," she murmured to herself. "But... why is it on the moon?"
Then she took a Tianwen, pointed its lens at the moon, and tried to observe something.
But she didn't look at anything; the moon was the same as always, without any unusual phenomena.
"It's been a day since this energy fluctuation last the Present. Current vehicles can't produce energy fluctuations of this magnitude, but if it's emitted by some kind of object, then it's not surprising that it moves. Although we heard that the one in Visakha City was just a drill, no one in the entire Visakha City has heard anything about it since." The girl muttered to herself thoughtfully, "Honkai Energy ... what kind of energy is it exactly?"
"Rovoc, what are you researching? It's late." A male voice rang out.
Rovoc turned his gaze to the doorway, where an elderly man stood. His gaze was kind and gentle, and he looked at Rovoc with undisguised concern in his eyes.
"Dr. Sullivan, I just...discovered something that's a bit unsettling," Rovoc replied, while simultaneously making a few operations on the computer, projecting the data he had recorded onto the screen.
She said, "Doctor, look, this energy fluctuation is similar to the energy fluctuation named 'Honkai Energy,' and can be seen as a form of Honkai Energy. It the Present successively in Visakha City, over the Pacific Ocean, and near the moon, which I recently observed."
As she spoke, she began to mutter to herself again, "The rituals here are still too rudimentary. If this were the Mu Continent, perhaps they would be more..."
Sullivan looked at Rovoc as he pondered, his expression complex. He coughed lightly and then said, "That's enough, Rovoc. This isn't your field of study, mechanical dynamics; it falls under the category of energy science... You don't need to delve into it further."
"But Doctor, Honkai Energy is a recently discovered energy source, and its excellent properties can be fully utilized with existing human technology," Rovoc said. "Even though I study mechanical dynamics, I will be involved in the field of energy in the future, so it is only right to learn about it in advance, isn't it? Besides, I am already very familiar with the known theories of mechanical dynamics, and I still have the capacity to further study energy science."
"Have you ever considered that Honkai Energy is Pandora's box for humanity?" Sullivan stared at Rovoc and said, "It may indeed have various advantages that other energy sources do not have, but... it is still an unknown to humanity at present."
"It is precisely because of the unknown that we must explore, isn't it, Doctor?" Rovoc looked at Sullivan as well. "If humanity's technology is to advance, Honkai Energy is currently indispensable. It's only a matter of time before other energy sources on Earth are exhausted by humanity. We still need to explore the universe and set our sights beyond the sun. We need a new energy source, don't we?"
Rovoc took a few steps, picked up an academic journal from the workbench, flipped through a paper written by a high school girl, and then handed it to Sullivan: "Doctor, I think this Scholar named Mei's paper on Honkai Energy makes sense. If possible, I would like to talk to her."
Sullivan looked down at the paper he had read many times before, then looked at Rovoc with a complicated expression and said, "Rovoc, you are my most outstanding student, which is why I don't want you to end up like them, on that path of no return."
Rovoc simply looked at Sullivan without saying a word.
"Yes, yes..." Sullivan sighed. "It's precisely because you are my most outstanding student that you can't possibly give up your obsession with this matter. With your intelligence, you will discover this sooner or later. But, Rovoc, are you truly prepared to face the unknown, to face the Honkai?"
"I am a Scholar, and it is my duty to explore the unknown and define the unknown," Rovoc replied.
"I brought you from the Mu Continent to America so that you would never have to come into contact with these things again. It's a pity..." Sullivan shifted his gaze to the screen, "The damage caused by Yuga is real. Even if the news is blocked from the outside world, it is impossible to escape the attention of people like you."
"Yuga?" Rovoc asked doubtfully, "Is that the name of that unidentified entity?"
"Alright, it's late. You should go and rest. I will bring you the answer you want." Sullivan said.
Rovoc hesitated, but she knew her mentor was very firm this time, and... she had enough time to wait for the truth.
Sullivan watched as Rovoc organized the data and left the lab, then sighed deeply. He went to the computer and started working. After a moment's hesitation, he sent a message to a private email address:
"Mobius, I need your help, for the sake of the fact that I introduced you before."
He knew that the person he was sending the message to was currently under the close surveillance of that organization, and if he hadn't been the former director of the First Research Institute, it would have been extremely difficult for him to contact Mobius.
After all, from the outside perspective, Mobius has been out of the public eye for a long time, and rumors of her death still circulate from time to time.
He believed his request was not unreasonable and was fully confident that Mobius and the organization would agree to it.
However, he waited a long time but did not receive a reply from Mobius.
Sullivan glanced at the time with some confusion. At this hour, Mobius should still be conducting experiments. If she had just glanced at the computer, she should have seen this message.
If it weren't for special circumstances, he wouldn't have wanted to seek out Mobius. However, since his retirement, on the one hand, some of his old connections were no longer useful, and on the other hand, he had been forced into retirement after being defeated in a power struggle. Moreover, if he wanted to help his students, Mobius, despite his radical approach, was the only person he could find who could help Rovoc.
Moreover, given his personal connections, Mobius is unlikely to do anything to Rovoc...
Just when Sullivan was about to give up waiting, Mobius replied:
"Sullivan, it's rare for you to come to me. I'm really curious. What could it be that would make you use your only favor to ask me for help?"
"Please let my student, Rovoc, join the Fire Moth in your laboratory and learn from you."
On the other side.
Mobius stared wide-eyed at the screen, muttering to himself, "That's not right. Although Sullivan was indeed Rovoc's mentor, Rovoc... she should have joined the Fire Moth after Sullivan was caught in the Fourth Herrscher storm and died... and in the years since Sullivan left the Fire Moth, he's completely abandoned his research on Honkai Energy. Why would he introduce his knowledge to me?"
After thinking for a moment, Mobius replied, "Okay, do you remember the location of headquarters? Bring her to see me, Ai Tian."
After replying, Mobius leaned back in his chair, pondering. "It seems that if I were to do it again, some things would indeed happen differently than in my previous life. Rovoc, the fourth of the Thirteen Fallen Angels, the Fallen Angel of Wisdom..."
