The Fool.

"Let's... forget it."

Seeing that Ruan Mei seemed somewhat tempted by her idea, Kiana awkwardly said, "We don't have time to take care of the child right now."

"A child? That's not a problem. I can implant some false Remembrance into her during the experiment."

Kiana shook her head repeatedly. "Let's forget about this. It's not time for that yet."

"Okay, I respect your opinion."

Ruan Mei looked slightly regretful as she glanced at the restraint device and said, "There are some things I need to take care of in the Simulated Universe. Herta sent me a message not long ago."

"Hmm? The Herta is looking for you?"

Ruan Mei nodded. "She has resolved all the previous issues. I may be staying at the space station for several months this time."

Kiana's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and she asked curiously, "Do we have to wait until the Simulated Universe project is successful before we leave?"

"Almost."

There are many things on the space station that interest her. Besides building Simulated Universe, she can also conduct some experiments on the space station that she had ideas for before.

Only...

For months, the planet's Honkai energy has remained stable, with almost no increase.

She had collected almost all the necessary information, but unfortunately, she hadn't gotten the answers she wanted.

"Once things at the space station are settled, let's go to Tenhutou Rock together."

Kiana blurted out, "Are we going to Izumo together?"

"Comparing the data from the two worlds might yield some different insights."

"OK!"

Kiana smiled and said, "Then after you finish the Simulated Universe project, I'll take you to see Izumo."

Izumo...

Jana is still waiting for her in Izumo; she really needs to find some time to go back to Izumo.

"ARuan, when do you plan to leave?"

"I'll be leaving in a bit."

Ruan Mei stopped looking at her work and focused her gaze on Kiana, saying, "I'll trouble you to take care of things in the lab."

"Are all of them going to be dealt with?"

"Take care of it."

Ruan Mei said, "This planet isn't very valuable; we probably won't come back."

Without Belobog, Ruan Mei could have unbridledly turned her thoughts into reality.

But there is still a lot of life on this planet.

After the space station project is finished, she will also start building a small Simulated Universe to help her better understand the energy of Honkai.

Well... let's get ready after we go to Izumo.

Kiana thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'll see you off. I'll come find you at the space station when I have time."

Ruan Mei looked at her for a while and replied with an "okay," though she didn't really believe Kiana's claim that she would come to the space station.

It suddenly occurred to her.

After she left, Kiana was left with only Yomi by her side. The next time they met...

She felt inexplicably irritable.

"You won't change, right?"

"Ah?"

Kiana paused, scratched her head, and looked a little strange. "ARuan, what are you talking about changing or not? Are you referring to my condition? I can't really guarantee that."

Ruan Mei shook her head.

No?

If it's not this, then it is...

Under Ruan Mei's gaze, Kiana suddenly realized and laughed, "Of course not! ARuan, you're very important to me, don't worry, I'll think about you every day!"

Miss...

Ruan Mei's eyes softened slightly.

"If you need my help, don't be shy, you can contact me anytime."

She said, "You are special to me too."

"I won't stand on ceremony with you."

Ruan Mei wanted to say something more to her, but then her phone beeped. She picked it up, glanced at it, and frowned slightly.

"It's the Herta."

There were so many things I wanted to do, and they all seemed to have coincidentally come together. Ruan Mei rubbed her temples and said, "It seems I can't stay with you any longer."

"It's alright, I'll take you to the spaceship. I'll come find you at the space station when I have time."

Although she was somewhat disappointed that she couldn't continue spending time with Ruan Mei, she wasn't too devastated.

Whether it's her, Ruan Mei, or even Yomi, they all have things they want to do.

A brief separation is perfectly normal.

Kiana saw Ruan Mei off, then returned alone to the laboratory where Ruan Mei was.

Ruan Mei didn't care much about this laboratory.

However, Kiana thought about it and instead of destroying the instruments and things here, she threw everything inside into the Phase Shift space.

We might need it in the future.

The Phase Shift space is also large enough that moving the laboratory there wouldn't take up much space.

Chapter 122 the Fool.

"What happened?"

Later that evening, Yomi returned and noticed the almost empty laboratory, a look of astonishment appearing in his eyes.

Has he left?

Kiana, who had found the lost Yomi, explained, "ARuan went to the space station, and I helped her tidy up the lab."

They really did leave.

But...

"... tidy?"

Looking at the clean, empty room, Yomi rarely showed a hint of confusion.

Is this tidying up?

"I figured I might need it in the future, so I moved the lab into the Phase Shift space."

Kiana looked at the empty laboratory and felt a little embarrassed.

"I see."

In other words, Ruan Mei will not be returning anytime soon after this departure; otherwise, Kiana wouldn't have emptied the laboratory.

Whatever she's going to do.

This is all good news for Yomi.

Although she reluctantly accepted it, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable with the three of them together.

She wasn't familiar with Ruan Mei either.

They had nothing to talk about.

I met someone today...

Yomi hesitated briefly, seemingly unsure of the other party's identity. "It seems to be the Fool's fellow."

"The Fool?"

"Yes, meeting him was probably not a coincidence; he must have been secretly observing us for some time."

What seemed like a coincidence was actually a pre-arranged one by that guy, in order to get in touch with her.

"How so?"

Kiana immediately perked up. The Fool of Belobog? Without a doubt, the Fool that Yomi was talking about must be Old Sampo.

Yomi shook his head and said, "I didn't get much useful information from him, that guy..."

Some of them didn't seem like the Fool she had ever seen.

So she started to hesitate, not quite sure about the identity of the man she had met that day.

"Does Mei think we should go and talk to him?"

He will come to you of his own accord.

Although the changes brought about by the Honkai were not very obvious, the Fool seemed to have sensed something, so he would inevitably reappear.

Several months have passed.

The biggest change at Belobog wasn't Honkai, but rather the addition of a new crisis.

Rather, it was the Eternal Freeze that subsided after the star core disappeared, and the Fragmentum that stopped expanding.

"She's gone. What are you planning to do next?"

Yomi then steered the conversation back to Kiana.

Kiana had been cooperating with Ruan Mei in various tests, but now that Ruan Mei has left, she's wondering what Kiana plans to do next.

Should we stay here?

Still...

"What's next..."

This question troubled Kiana somewhat. She frowned in distress, thought for a moment, and said, "It seems like I've done almost everything that needed to be done."

She wasn't idle during this time; thanks to her previous experience in Izumo and the advice and check-ups given by Ruan Mei, she was able to get tested.

She basically farmed every possible spot, and in Jarilo -VI, she farmed up to 20% of the progress.

And this seems to have reached its limit.

She hasn't received any further notices about departures in the past two months, so naturally, there's been no promotion.

Only 30% of the progress remained, but she had no idea where to find that remaining 30%.

A different world?

But will those world systems recognize it?

She had accidentally spread Honkai energy elsewhere, but that Honkai, like a rootless duckweed, had no effect.

"Etc..."

Kiana's expression suddenly turned serious. She looked up in surprise, as if she could see the starry sky outside through the house.

"What happened?"

Seeing Kiana's unusually serious expression, Yomi tensed up. Usually, when Kiana showed this expression, it meant...

"Such powerful Honkai energy."

Kiana was somewhat puzzled and surprised. She took Yomi's hand, and with a flash of light, she teleported Yomi to the snowfield outside of Belobog.

She kept her head up, her brows furrowed, looking somewhat uneasy.

Honkai... a very powerful Honkai Beast.
