Put Your Hand Here.

She clearly remembers that the first time she saw Ruan Mei was in the laboratory where Ruan Mei was doing research in seclusion.

The rest of my impressions are very vague.

"The reason...?"

Ruan Mei paused, a memory surfacing in her eyes. "It was beautiful."

Very, very what?

What kind of reason is that?

Kiana's eyes widened. Ruan Mei's two sentences were both strange. Just as she was about to ask what they meant, the surroundings suddenly changed.

Then, through someone else's perspective, she encountered a stranger version of herself in an unfamiliar place.

Sleeping soundly, as mysterious as a god.

That was her after she had fully Herrscherization.

"Without a doubt, you are special. I was deeply attracted to you the moment I saw you."

Every word seemed to be a confession.

But Kiana wouldn't continue to misunderstand at this point; Ruan Mei's true meaning had absolutely nothing to do with confession.

This scene quickly disappeared, and the surroundings returned to the laboratory. What they had just seen was probably Ruan Mei's Remembrance from that time.

Do you know what I saw?

Ruan Mei asked her.

"Wh-what?"

Kiana couldn't guess; all she saw was herself in Herrscherization, unconscious.

But Ruan Mei was clearly not asking about that.

"Perfection and truth."

"When I saw you, it felt like I had witnessed a miracle."

Ruan Mei's voice changed slightly, revealing a hint of excitement. "It's incredible, isn't it? I didn't even have such a thought when I met the Lord of Wisdom. But when I saw you, this was the only thought that remained in my mind."

"Miracle!"

"That's why I have an extraordinary interest in you and the Honkai energy within you."

"I can't wait to know why, why I had this thought the moment I saw you, and I can't wait to unravel the mystery of you and the Honkai energy."

Interest is the best teacher for geniuses.

Ruan Mei initially thought that what was special was Honkai energy, while Kiana was just an extremely special Self-Annihilator. Her rather sacred demeanor at first glance was also due to Honkai energy.

But as time went by and she spent more time with Kiana, she gradually realized that she was wrong. The miracle she saw at their first meeting was not Honkai energy, but Kiana herself.

During the two years she took care of Kiana, she probably never expected that she would be uncontrollably influenced by Kiana and rekindle those emotions that she considered somewhat useless.

That concludes the recollection.

Seeing that Kiana seemed a little lost in thought, Ruan Mei thoughtfully refrained from saying anything further and instead released the hand that had been tightly gripping hers.

"A miracle? Me? Is it because I saw a miracle that ARuan became interested in Honkai?"

Kiana tried hard to calm down and sort out her thoughts, something she had never imagined before; no one had ever said this to her.

To her, Honkai is a disaster.

But now Ruan Mei says she saw a miracle in the Finality.

Kiana's thoughts were somewhat confused.

She was certain that she had not regained consciousness at that time; from Ruan Mei's perspective, she had no Remembrance of that moment.

"This is really..."

Kiana scratched her head, unsure of what to say, and could only follow her train of thought.

"So, what have you figured out?"

Upon hearing her question, Ruan Mei's smile faded slightly, and she shook her head. "No."

"Honkai and miracle... I really find it hard to connect them, ARuan. Have you ever thought that maybe back then... um... it was just an illusion?"

Kiana didn't seem to understand what she had just said; the miracle she was referring to was not the Honkai energy that had been observed at the time.

It is the Herrscher of Finality, Kiana.

During the time they lived together afterward, Kiana's influence on her was particularly evident.

However, she hasn't figured it out yet.

Was it because of some so-called 'miracle,' or because Kiana herself possessed a peculiar charisma?

No, neither the former nor the latter.

They are all miracles.

Thinking of this, she sighed softly, "In my eyes, Honkai energy is a kind of 'miracle.' No matter what field it's added to, it can bring unexpected results."

Kiana understood what that meant.

"So that's why you want to combine Honkai energy with the power of Propagation?"

"Um."

Kiana was completely bewildered. She had never believed that Honkai energy was a miracle, and she didn't feel much when she first heard this idea.

But that's actually the reason.

She didn't know what to say for a moment.

"If you have concerns, then I won't do this experiment."

Ruan Mei continued, finally returning to the initial point. "If the power of Propagation gets out of control, it will indeed cause some trouble."

"Yes!"

Hearing Ruan Mei say this, Kiana nodded repeatedly, temporarily putting aside the things she hadn't yet figured out, hoping that Ruan Mei would completely give up on this idea.

"If the power of Propagation gets out of control, it will affect countless people!"

She said, "Even if you're really curious, ARuan, we can start by experimenting with the creations of other Aeon, like... the Void Trotter!"

Kiana's eyes suddenly lit up as she remembered the Antimatter Legion on Jarilo that had not yet fully recovered.

Isn't that top-quality material?

And you don't need to do anything extra.

Chapter 146 Put your hand down.

"Yes! Void Trotter!"

She was resolute: those Void Trotter on Jarilo were just sitting there anyway, and once they were revived, they would most likely be affected by the Honkai and mutate.

"Then we can use Abundance Pest."

Kiana had already made contact with them.

She had once encountered those monsters on the battlefield where she the Hunt the Xianzhou, and had also mutated many of them.

Unfortunately.

She did not preserve any useful specimens.

"Even if we are truly interested in Propagation, we don't need to start by experimenting on queen beetles."

We can start with the smaller monsters.

Kiana had no qualms about experimenting on Void Trotter, monsters, and insects.

Her concern also stemmed from worries about the aftermath.

"Void Trotter? You mean those Void Trotter on Jarilo -VI?"

Ruan Mei, of course, knew which "Void Trotter" she was referring to.

"If I had to say, I'm actually more interested in those Kishin that coexist between nothingness and Honkai."

Kiana was in that state from the beginning.

It took her some time and effort to stabilize Kiana, who was in a very unbalanced state and unable to wake up from her deep sleep.

Nowadays, the ethereal shadow around Kiana is diminishing; although it hasn't completely disappeared, it's almost imperceptible.

Ruan Mei investigated the reason.

But unfortunately...

She didn't gain much.

"Kishin or a spirit..."

Kiana paused slightly, recalling her past in Izumo.

The bewilderment and helplessness upon first arriving in the world, the kindness and malice encountered in the new world, the first encounter with Kishin and gods, and everything that Yomi and Sirin experienced.

Those things.

It seems like a long time has passed.

Kiana, suddenly remembering those past events, lowered her eyes slightly and tugged at the corners of her mouth. "There are still some Honkai Beast on Izumo, some of which were transformed from surviving Kishin."

Those Honkai Beast that are still alive have all evolved into new species that have adapted to the new environment.

Bizarre and wonderful.

The harm is actually quite significant.

"If you have time, I'll go to Izumo with you."

Ruan Mei nodded.

She noticed Kiana's momentary lapse in concentration and, after a moment's thought, guessed what Kiana had been thinking.

However, she didn't ask anything.

Although she was indeed very curious about Kiana's past.

That concludes the discussion on this matter.

The discomfort I felt because of her distrust has now completely disappeared.

When do you plan to leave?

When are you leaving?

She rushed to the space station to confirm Ruan Mei's thoughts, and now her purpose has been achieved.

Ruan Mei doesn't know how to do this experiment.

And what about her?

"Doesn't ARuan want me to stay and spend more time with you?"

Anyway, she just arrived!

Kiana couldn't possibly rush to the space station only to leave again shortly afterward.

She's not here on a business trip.

Sirin and Bronya are in the Yomi, and as for Jana... she just left Jarilo -VI not long ago.

Furthermore, Jana should be reliable.

It's still peaceful there.

Other things...

There seems to be nothing else.

The only thing left was the Nightingale, but she hadn't finished dealing with her own affairs, so she didn't have time to go play with the Nightingale.

Unless...
