"ARuan, I... I almost lost control."

What does "out of control" mean?

Ruan Mei grabbed her hand and checked her vital signs again, but the result was the same as the previous two times.

She didn't suspect Kiana was joking, so she pulled her up and casually turned off the radio that had been playing in the background on the table.

Let me check it for you.

She pulled the person into the laboratory.

Kiana was unusually silent, saying little, and obediently followed her into the laboratory for the physical examination.

Medical checkups are a common occurrence.

Kiana was very familiar with the whole process, and without Ruan Mei saying anything, she lay down on the bed herself.

Ruan Mei remained silent.

This continues until the entire process is complete.

"Your physical strength, no, or rather, your life level, is still changing. And your Honkai energy activity is... seven times higher than the last checkup."

Ruan Mei was somewhat surprised by the result.

During her initial, cursory examination, she only detected that Kiana's Honkai energy activity had increased again, but she didn't pay close attention to exactly how many times stronger it was than before.

Unexpectedly, it's more than seven times the previous amount.

This number...

"Seven times?"

Kiana subconsciously touched her eyes; this was her physical condition after resting.

Thinking about what had happened to her before, Kiana became increasingly depressed and didn't know what to say.

"After being exposed to a high concentration of Honkai energy, your body accelerated the recovery process."

Most likely, it was exposure to high-intensity Honkai energy that catalyzed the changes in his body.

Ruan Mei analyzed the situation and, seeing that she was in a bad mood, asked, "Tell me about the Stigma. How can I help you?"

Stigmata world?

Oh, and there's Yae Sakura and her Stigma.

Kiana perked up again, spouting a whimsical thought, "Isn't Honkai energy capable of distorting reality? And since the Stigmata world is still relatively intact, I was thinking, could we revive the entire Stigmata world? Turn the Stigmata world into reality?"

This allows the Izumo.

Although it wasn't the original Izumo.

Turn the virtual world into reality?

That's quite challenging.

Could the power of Honkai achieve this?

Kiana's idea is certainly bold. However, she's also curious whether she can pull it off.

You can give it a try.

Geniuses are never afraid of difficult problems.

"You can give it a try."

"I knew you'd say yes ARuan!"

Seeing that Ruan Mei had actually agreed, Kiana said happily.

"I also want to see the limits of Honkai."

Ruan Mei added, then, noticing her less cheerful smile, paused for a moment before saying, "Go and rest."

"Rest?"

Why would someone who's perfectly fine need to rest?

Kiana said, puzzled, "But I'm not sleepy yet."

She was prepared to stay in the lab long-term, because Ruan Mei would most likely start now, and she would assist Ruan Mei 'Ruan Mei research when needed.

"You look very stressed; you haven't had a proper rest in a while. Everything else... isn't urgent now. Listen to me, go get some sleep."

She cares about me.

Realizing this, Kiana felt a bit better and subconsciously started making demands as demanding as ever.

"How about ARuan stays with me?"

I knew this would happen.

Ruan Mei nodded. "Okay."

Since progress has already stalled for several days, one more day won't make a difference.

Before fully immersing yourself in the next round of research, it's essential to take a good day off.

Chapter Sixty-One: Sirin's Contact Information

Lounge.

Although I don't have a problem sleeping in a particular bed and can fall asleep anywhere, I always feel safer when I'm back in a familiar place.

Kiana pasted some of the photos she brought back onto the photo wall, nodding with satisfaction at the haul she had made on this trip.

Although I didn't find the person I most wanted to see on this trip to Izumo, recalling my previous Remembrance, I did see and get to know quite a few people.

"Is she Yomi?"

Ruan Mei was beside her and noticed that some of the photos she posted were clearly not taken recently.

Kiana turned to look at the photo she was pointing to; it was a picture she had taken in Izumo, which she had retrieved from her spatial storage.

A hint of longing appeared in her eyes. She raised her hand and gently stroked the photograph, saying, "Yes, it was taken in Izumo a long time ago."

Ruan Mei nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

"ARuan ..."

Kiana remembered something and withdrew her hand, wanting to talk to Ruan Mei.

However, Ruan Mei placed her index finger on her lips. "I know you have a lot to tell me, but there's no rush."

"Go to sleep, darling."

Looking into Ruan Mei's beautiful eyes, Kiana was actually in pretty good spirits, quickly felt tired.

Sleepiness crept over her face, and she swallowed back the words she wanted to say, turning her gaze away and muttering, "Okay, okay, I'm going to rest now, I'll talk to you about those things after I wake up."

Sitting beside her, I watched as she succumbed to sleepiness and fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed.

However, Ruan Mei was not sleepy.

She picked up Kiana's hand again, examining the marks left by Honkai energy.

The mark is fading; even if left alone, it should disappear in a few days.

Why is this happening? Could it be...?

Ruan Mei considered a certain possibility.

He gently placed her hand back, his gaze falling on her face; she didn't seem to be sleeping very peacefully.

Ruan Mei reached out and touched Kiana's forehead, Kiana immediately fell into a deep, baby-like sleep.

Things seemed to be slipping out of her control.

Ruan Mei thought about it casually.

Her indulgence towards Kiana stemmed from need and curiosity about her, but the reasons and justifications are all in the past.

The current result is...

She had grown accustomed to Kiana's presence and would develop superfluous emotions because of Kiana's every move.

Although she had a way to solve it.

But...

Ruan Mei recalled the experiences she had with Kiana on their trip to other planets, which she considered to be some pretty good memories.

This will always be the default setting.

Kiana seems to possess a special kind of magic that makes it easier for others to trust and accept her.

If Kiana wants to leave.

Ruan Mei lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment.

She needs to finish the answers she wants to verify and the research she wants to conduct before Kiana leaves.

Time passed by little by little.

Kiana slept for more than ten hours.

When I woke up, I felt refreshed and much more energetic than before.

"ARuan?"

Rubbing her eyes, she sat up and called out to Ruan Mei, but Ruan Mei was not in the room.

"Did you go to the lab?"

Kiana stretched, leaned against the bed, and took out her phone.

See if there's any news from the company.

Although she didn't think it was impossible for the company to have a lead so quickly, she certainly hoped for a miracle.

Even if the possibility is extremely slim.

Once inside the company's software, Kiana discovered that Interastral Peace Corporation had sent her a message several days prior.

"Really?!"

Kiana looked at the message from the company, rubbed her eyes in disbelief, and pinched herself.

Is she still dreaming?

She pinched herself, the pain making her grimace, confirming that she wasn't dreaming and was still awake.

It's true.

There really is news from the company!

"Calm down, Kiana, we don't even know if it's a scam yet. Let's find out first."

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her agitated emotions.

I quickly read through the company's messages over and over again, afraid of missing anything or misunderstanding something.

"Someone claims to know Mei's whereabouts, but demands to add me as a friend and says they'll only tell me in person?"

Kiana, after reading it several times and summarizing its meaning, felt uneasy, yet also very strange.

"Is the address Herta Space Station?"

Why is she involved with the Herta Space Station? She doesn't remember Yomi knowing anyone on the Herta Space Station in the story.

Kiana looked conflicted.

Could the person who claims to know Mei's whereabouts be a fraud?

But are all scammers this brave?

Herta Space Station?

Could they be some lowly clerks on the Herta Space Station, feeling hopeless about their future, and wanting to switch jobs to make a big score?

Continuing to check her unread messages, Kiana discovered that the company had attached a document.

Kiana received the document from many days ago. When she opened it, she found some photos and two pieces of news that cheered her up.
