As the two chatted, the video content continued to play.
After returning to St. Freya Academy, the unconscious Ye Li was sent to the intensive care unit.
Following a thorough examination, everyone finally learned the real reason for Ye Li's collapse.
"What! You're telling me the reason Ye Li fainted was because the Honkai Energy concentration in his body exceeded the limit, and it's untreatable?"
Taking the examination report from her assistant, Theresa's face was filled with disbelief. "Why did Ye Li's Honkai Energy exceed the limit when he was perfectly fine?"
Then, Kiana and the others recounted the entire incident to Theresa.
"You're saying Ye Li not only cured Miss Wendy's Honkai disease but even extracted the [Gem of Desire] from her body?! Schicksal might not even possess such technology. How did Ye Li manage it?"
As soon as Theresa finished speaking, Himeko, standing beside her, interjected, "Let me explain this, Theresa. Do you still remember when we went to Jiu You of Shenzhou to find the Ji Lin Stigmata?"
"Of course, I remember. Wait... Himeko, are you saying..."
"Yes, Theresa. You should also know the purpose of my application to undertake the Jiu You mission. However, the results were not as satisfactory as I had hoped. But just as I was about to resign myself to fate, Ye Li found me and said he had a way to help me clear the side effects of the Artificial Stigmata..."
"How is that possible! Even Grandpa couldn't solve this problem for so many years, and Ye Li can actually do it?"
Theresa exclaimed in surprise. "Moreover, if this method can really be realized, then the Valkyries would be able to..."
At this point, Theresa suddenly had a realization and looked at Ye Li, who was lying unconscious in the intensive care unit.
"That's right, Theresa. Just like you back then, I naively believed that Ye Li's treatment plan would bring a beautiful ending to everyone. But in reality, I was wrong, and terribly wrong..." Himeko said with a look of guilt. "The side effects of the Artificial Stigmata didn't disappear; they were transferred to Ye Li."
"So this was the real reason Ye Li was so weak back then?" Theresa murmured to herself.
Meanwhile, in the real world.
Upon learning of Ye Li's actions, netizens expressed their astonishment.
[Ye Li is a true man, he really is, I'm crying so much!]
[No wonder, I finally understand why Himeko has such complex feelings for Ye Li.]
[Stay, Ye! What will I do without you!]
[My Ye Tiandi is truly risking his life to carry!]
Just like the netizens, the "Big Three" beside them also had mixed feelings after learning what had happened.
Because it wasn't just Himeko; all three of them had been saved by Ye Li in some way.
Seeing their savior lying critically ill in the hospital bed while they were powerless to help was an unbearable feeling.
"Isn't there any way to save Ye Li?"
Kiana said anxiously, "Since our St. Freya Academy can't do it, surely the headquarters can?"
"Kiana, I understand your anxiety."
Seeing Kiana on the verge of a breakdown, Theresa quickly comforted her. "Just now, I've requested support from the headquarters, but... I haven't received a reply yet. I'll let you know as soon as there's any news."
Looking at the anxious crowd, Theresa had to tell a white lie.
Indeed, as she said, she had indeed asked her grandfather for help immediately, and her grandfather had replied just as quickly.
However, the result was...
"Theresa, my dear granddaughter, I deeply regret what happened with Ye Li. But you also know that if Schicksal could reverse the erosion of Honkai Energy on humanity, our battles over the years wouldn't have been so arduous. So... please accept my condolences, my dear granddaughter."
Recalling the moments she spent with Ye Li, Theresa couldn't believe that someone as gentle as him could end up like this.
Thinking of this, Theresa decided not to wait idly by any longer.
Even though her grandfather had clearly told her that there was no solution, Theresa still wanted to try.
To this end, she decided to go to the central cathedral hidden beneath St. Freya Academy, where Schicksal's highest bio-technology was concealed.
Late at night, inside the central cathedral, Theresa was intently searching for information on her computer.
After some searching, Theresa found that Schicksal's database did indeed contain a lot of relevant information.
However, unfortunately, all of this information was encrypted. Only one piece of data, related to the Babylon Laboratory in Siberia on February 7, 2000, had its access permissions opened.
"February 7, 2000? Damn it, it was at that time." Theresa muttered to herself. "Database, display the relevant records for me."
"As you command, Lady Theresa."
Following the system prompt, Theresa completely disappeared.
However, what Theresa didn't know was that shortly after she disappeared, a white-haired furball also followed.
"Huh? The screen and Theresa suddenly disappeared together? I need to hurry and follow them."
With that said, Kiana followed closely behind.
"Ye Li, wait for me! I will definitely find a way to save you!"
