Does the leader of Anti-Entropy even need a free physical examination?

"So, the only thing we can confirm now is that the unknown signal originated from space?" Welt Yang's tone was somewhat inexplicable. "We still haven't resolved the Honkai, and now there are visitors from beyond the stars. It's truly worrying!"

"Our main task right now is still to protect humanity and eliminate the threat of the Honkai, Joachim. You shouldn't worry too much; we'll all help," Einstein said, comforting him from a friend's perspective.

"You worry too much. But what Ritsell said isn't wrong; we'll all help you," Tesla said, crossing her arms and looking at him. "However, your current task should be recovering from your injuries. After all, whether it's fighting the Honkai or those unknown visitors from beyond the stars, we can't do without our Alliance Leader of Anti-Entropy—the Herrscher of Reason."

Welt Yang calmed his inner turmoil and, after adjusting his emotions, said, "But it's not like we can do nothing now. We can still make preparations in advance. Let Ryoma dispatch personnel to New Mexico to set up the Silver Bullet Array. We cannot be completely unprepared, no matter what."

"Alright, I'll tell Ryoma right away." Tesla was decisive and immediately called Raiden Ryoma, who was in the Far East. "Ryoma, I need you to dispatch personnel to New Mexico to establish a base and deploy the Silver Bullet Array. I've sent the reasons to your email via internal encryption."

Raiden Ryoma, who was in the Far East, had originally planned to pick up Raiden Yae from school. He suddenly received this communication and had no choice but to temporarily entrust Yae to his secretary's care. However, this wasn't the first time, and he wouldn't have time to play with Yae again.

After receiving the email, Raiden Ryoma entered the secret room within his office, decrypted the mail, and after reading the information, his heart was filled with complex emotions. He had already learned the specific details of the incident in America through Anti-Entropy's internal channels, and he had just learned the inside story. Although he found the arrival of visitors from beyond the stars somewhat unbelievable, he just needed to follow his superior's orders.

What he was worried about, however, was Li Ming, who had been in close contact with, and even touched, that mutated clone. He knew in Schicksal that Li Ming had no resistance to Honkai Energy. The serum was mainly for neutralization and suppression, and Li Ming hadn't completed all three injections in Schicksal. Now, Li Ming was likely being corroded by Honkai Energy again.

However, Anti-Entropy couldn't do much here like they could in the Schicksal branch. The serum belonged to Destiny, and it would be very troublesome for Anti-Entropy to resolve this on their own.

"I hope the Alliance Leader and the others will have a solution," Raiden Ryoma sighed, then took the luggage that his secretary had packed and left the Far East.

After Tesla finished her notification, she looked at the somewhat dejected Welt Yang and said irritably, "Alright, it's not a big deal. Just leave it to us. Oh, right, I've located your student's phone. We'll be passing by St. Doctor's Hospital, so I've arranged a free check-up. Help check if your student has been infected by Honkai Energy. But it seems your student doesn't have any intention of going. You, as the teacher, have to go, right?"

Welt Yang was silent for a moment, then smiled and stood up. "Indeed. As a teacher, I should pay attention to my student's health!"

After speaking, Welt Yang got up and left. Once the two confirmed Welt Yang had left, Einstein looked at the seemingly serious twin-tailed girl. "You don't want him to face these things, but it's not that serious yet."

"I just want him to rest well. His injuries from two years ago haven't healed, even though he thinks he's hiding it well. Alright, time to get to work. Now there's one more thing. Come help me quickly, and we still haven't resolved the experiments on those two mutated clones!"

"Okay, okay, but you haven't slept in days. Staying up too late will make you bald!"

"Mind your own business!"

Anti-Entropy also made corresponding arrangements and adjustments. At the same time, Destiny also made adjustments. The bases that were originally deployed around America were all dismantled and destroyed, and moved to the southern part of America and beyond its borders.

However, new bases were built in the areas surrounding America, and some research institutes in the United States hid their designations, perhaps by changing their names or transferring them to other companies.

Amber, who was operating all this, was somewhat confused. "Lord Bishop, is it really worth it for us to do this for Director Murata?"

"The point isn't really Ryusuke Murata, but I want to see Anti-Entropy's reaction. After all, the stir they've made is quite significant!" Otto propped his chin and brought up a screen, saying casually, "Besides, it's been two years, and there's been no movement except from Schicksal. If that's the case, it's better to probe them actively. Consider it a greeting."

"But won't this be seen as an attack on Anti-Entropy?" Amber was somewhat confused, and was it necessary to pay such a high price just to probe them?

"There are things we can do, and even if someone sees through them, no one will say we're wrong. And we're originally just trying to eliminate the Honkai. Oh, right, remember to issue a public statement. I'm going to see what my dear granddaughter is up to?"

Otto signaled Amber to handle things, as he wanted to see what his dear granddaughter was doing.

However, Amber didn't leave and continued, "Lord Bishop, you haven't handled any affairs for three days. Many matters are waiting for your decision!"

"Didn't I hand everything over to Nagako? No, I won't do it!" Otto refused, as working was nowhere near as enjoyable as spending time with his granddaughter.

But Amber didn't care about Otto's little tantrum and remained in the operations room.

"Fine, if you're not leaving, I am!"

Otto consciously got off his throne, holding his screen, and was about to leave. But it wasn't as simple as him wanting to leave. Just as Otto was about to leave, Nagako, with dark circles under her eyes, burst through the door and grabbed the yellow-haired man. "My dear Lord Bishop, where are you going?"

"Ah, isn't this Ms. Nagako? What brings you here today?"

Otto tried to play it off and escape, but Nagako's small hand quietly tightened its grip on Otto's shoulder. Otto quickly begged for mercy, "Okay, okay, I'm not leaving, spare me, spare me!"

Seeing Otto beg for mercy, Nagako led him back to his seat and then said to Amber, "Amber, you spoil him too much."

Caught red-handed, he had no choice but to bitterly start dealing with the laziness he had indulged in, picking up stacks of documents to read.

"Raiden, where are we going?"

"Let's take a look first. Actually, there are many places we can visit, like Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Hollywood."

"Let's go, let's go!" As soon as this was mentioned, Li Ming excitedly pulled Raiden along, with Himeko following behind them.

The three of them were walking because, well, they had no car.

"But are we really going to walk there?" Himeko remained skeptical. Yesterday, they took the train to go to DreamWorks Cinema.

Raiden and Li Ming exchanged glances and hesitantly said, "How about we take a Greyhound?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I've only heard of it in novels and never seen it before!" Li Ming was open to anything.

Himeko looked at Li Ming and kept covering her face. The main reason was that Li Ming felt he owed Raiden too much. There was no other way, so they would listen to him. But Raiden didn't want to bother with him, so what else could they do? They just had to deal with him.

He used the long-lost "Eighteen Touches"! No, it was "Eighteen Plates"!

Then, the conversation between the two turned into this.

(Sigh)(Nervous smile)

Just one word: Annoying!

In the end, the group decided to take the train.

As the three of them got off the train, they noticed a lot of people around. The road ahead was smooth, but the traffic behind them was completely blocked.

"Is this Los Angeles? It's so lively!" Seeing so many people, Li Ming immediately got excited. However, Raiden found it a bit strange. He glanced around before saying, "No, we're not there yet. This seems to be St. Doctor's Hospital. Although I don't know why there are so many people at a hospital."

Raiden asked some people around and found out that it was a free health check-up. So, many people who couldn't afford the check-up fees were gathered there.

"Oh, it's fine. We don't need a check-up anyway. Let's go!" Li Ming said indifferently. He didn't care about the atmosphere.

Raiden didn't mind either, so he took a glance and prepared to leave. Himeko, on the other hand, really wanted to take a look, as she wasn't sure yesterday if there were any problems. She was groggy and didn't know what kind of check-up she had yesterday.

"Li Ming, should we go check it out?" Himeko glanced at Li Ming and said hesitantly. Seeing Himeko's desire to go, Li Ming pondered for a moment, "It's not impossible to go, but there are so many people now, we won't be able to squeeze in. Let's go next time!"

"Then... alright!" Seeing the crowd, Himeko also hesitated and gave up. However, she remembered the medical examination fees from yesterday. Li Ming didn't know his insurance number, so he probably didn't have it covered by insurance and paid out of pocket. He probably spent quite a bit.

Just as Himeko was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from the side, "If you don't mind the trouble, you can come with me."

The three of them looked at the person who had arrived. Himeko and Raiden didn't react, but Li Ming was a bit surprised. Seeing the handsome brown-haired man, Li Ming exclaimed, "Professor Welt, why are you here too? Could it be..."

The leader of Anti-Entropy himself making a personal appearance? Was something going to happen here? But the monster from last night was probably dealt with by Welt too, so what was going on in California lately? Everything was going wrong.

Li Ming looked at Welt, still contemplating whether to run, but Welt's next sentence stunned Li Ming!

"Uh, I actually came because I saw there was a free medical check-up here," Welt Yang said with a smile, feeling a bit helpless inside. Why were there so many people here?

Although it was strange, Li Ming still introduced them to each other. "This is Professor Welt from the Department of Aerospace Propulsion at California Institute of Technology, this is Raiden from the Department of Psychology at University of California, Berkeley, and this is Himeko from the Department of Aerospace Propulsion."

"Hello, Professor Welt!" Himeko and Raiden greeted Welt, but Li Ming found it strange that Himeko, being in the same department, didn't recognize Welt?

Li Ming only remembered that Himeko used to be Welt's student, but he wasn't sure when they met.

"Hello, my name is Welt Yang, acting professor in the Department of Aerospace Propulsion. Psychology at Berkeley has always been a difficult subject. Student Raiden seems to be working very hard. As for student Himeko, I've read your thesis!" Welt Yang said with a smile. Neither of them expected this professor to be so approachable and kind.

"Professor Welt, are you also here for this free medical check-up? But there are so many people here, we probably won't be able to get in!" Although he didn't know what was going on, Li Ming figured he couldn't run now. But the leader of Anti-Entropy himself was here to get a free check-up? Was he doing that poorly? Maybe I should join Schicksal in the future!

Uncle Ryoma wasn't making money easily. It wasn't a simple feat to create so many mechs when the Queen descended.

Seeing that Li Ming knew him, Himeko and Raiden didn't leave. Welt broke out in a sweat. "Uh, I have a membership here, so I can use a special passage to get in."

Hearing this, Li Ming hesitated, "But since it's your membership, we won't trouble you."

Welt thought for a moment and then understood why. He smiled and said, "You're just coming in through the special passage with me. My own check-up is scheduled, so you can go in and get the free one."

Welt gave Li Ming a suggestion. Himeko and Raiden looked at Li Ming. In fact, since Welt had said so much, it was difficult for Li Ming to refuse. Himeko seemed to really want to go and looked worried. Moreover, since Welt had come to invite them, Li Ming guessed it was probably related to what happened yesterday.

"Alright then, thank you for your trouble, Professor Welt!" Seeing Li Ming agree, the three of them followed Welt through the so-called special channel.
