"Feel sorry!"

Klein apologized, then raised his gun and shot Ling Xi in the head!

"Bang!"

Flames erupted from Ling Xi's body, melting the bullets before they could hit her...

"My dear senior sister, have you forgotten who I am?"

Ling Xi at Klein, her feelings incredibly complex. She truly never expected it; the flag she raised back then had come true today. Klein ...

It really is Thousand-Man Herrscher!

"Ling Xi ..."

At this moment, Klein seemed to waver slightly, gently covering his forehead, and said, "Quick, kill me, or else they..."

"Senior Sister?"

Ling Xi was also somewhat surprised. Did Klein still retain a trace of her own consciousness?

If that's the case, then it's not impossible to restore Klein to normal, as long as the Doctor...

"Roar!"

At this moment, Mobius got up again and pounced on Ling Xi like a madman!

Ling Xi: "..." Holy crap, this is just too much trouble!

I was counting on the Doctor to save Klein, but now... I should save the Doctor first!

"Ling Xi!"

Suddenly, Ling Xi heard Sirin's voice in her mind...

"Sirin?"

Ling Xi was also taken aback and asked, "Is there anything you want to say?"

"At this moment, Mobius lacked independent thought and was acting on instinct, and her purpose was..."

Sirin immediately added, "Ling Xi, although Shesha's ability is resurrection, it still has to abide by the law of conservation of energy. Therefore, Mobius needs energy right now, the energy of Herrscher!"

"The power of the Herrscher?"

Ling Xi paused for a moment, then took out the Conquest Gem from her body and threw it directly at Mobius!

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

Mobius accepted it all without hesitation, swallowing it whole, and then...

Mobius's body began to shrink rapidly, and purple Lightning Power crackled around her, until finally...

Mobius's serpentine body gradually transformed into a human body, except...

He turned back into the same eleven or twelve-year-old he was back then. This is... the price of rebirth!

The good news is that Mobius has completely calmed down. Although he is still asleep, he should be fine now!

"Whoosh..."

Thank goodness Sirin is here. Speaking of which... how does Sirin know so much? Could it be that this girl has also read the script?

"Ling Xi, I think I'm alright?"

At this moment, Klein spoke up again, smiling somewhat awkwardly, "Sorry, I seem to have caused you quite a bit of trouble!"

"Hehe, it's alright, senior sister!"

Ling Xi smiled at Klein and said, "As long as you and the Doctor are both alright, that's the best outcome."

"Um..."

Klein nodded and said, "Can you let me go now? I want to go see how Dr. Mobius is doing."

"Certainly!"

Ling Xi showed no intention of refusing!

"Ling Xi ..."

Kevin was also calling out to Ling Xi. Clearly, he didn't believe Klein. Before Mobius and Mei confirmed it, Klein had always been a suspect!

"Sizzle..."

As a result, Klein's body suddenly convulsed, and then he fell straight into Ling Xi's arms, falling into a complete coma.

"Phew, sorry, senior sister..."

Ling Xi blew on her still-smoking fingers, clearly having used an electric current to make Ling Xi Klein a nap, after all...

Ling Xi clearly couldn't believe Klein either, no... it should be said that she couldn't believe the words of the Thousand-Man Herrscher. Although Klein just briefly regained his self-awareness, but...

The consciousness of Thousand-Man Herrscher is still Herrscher consciousness, after all. Even if it's not as powerful as other Herrscher, it's clearly not something that someone Klein only 1000 HW of Honkai Energy, could dispel. After all...

Back then, Seele's Honkai Energy Adaptability could reach 2000 HW, but in the end, she still couldn't suppress the Herrscher's consciousness. She only managed to completely eliminate the Herrscher's consciousness by using the time reset method. So, Klein just now was obviously faking it!

However, the next step is to wait for Mobius to wake up, and then tell Klein the truth. With Mobius there... Klein...

They should be able to be saved!

Chapter 419: Rescuing Senior Sister in Progress!

"I never expected something like this to happen..."

A few hours later, Mobius had returned to normal and learned the whole story from Ling Xi.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Doctor..."

Ling Xi sighed softly and said, "Although my senior sister told me before that she might become Thousand-Man Herrscher, I didn't tell you because I was worried it would affect the Doctor..."

"It's alright, after all, Klein was just guessing before."

Mobius shook his head helplessly and laughed, "Besides, no one expected such a melodramatic plot. I even joked that you didn't pronounce Klein's name, but who knew that such an outrageous plot would actually happen."

Ling Xi "..."

At this moment, Ling Xi was also speechless. At the same time, she recalled her casual chat with Elysia. Sure enough, God wouldn't let the plot be so boring, and the people around her...

In short, Ling Xi finally understood that as long as the Honkai existed, neither she nor those around her could be absolutely safe, because... God would not allow it!

"Doctor, is there still any way to save her?"

To be honest, although she was very confident when she said those words to Klein, Ling Xi couldn't be sure when it came to this. After all, the reason Seele passed the test was really due to luck, her special characteristics, and the very coincidental fact that Seele sickness caused her Herrscher consciousness to temporarily fall asleep, which gave Seele the opportunity!

But now, Klein's situation...

Although Klein seemingly regained consciousness briefly before, Klein condition was quite complicated, so Ling Xi couldn't guarantee that she could save Klein!

In short, now we can only rely on the abilities of our own Doctor.

"It should be fine."

Although Mobius had little interest in fighting and probably wasn't very strong in combat himself, but...

In scientific research, if I dare to say I'm second, then... well, perhaps only Mei would dare to say she's tied for second place with me!

"Ling Xi, thanks to the fact that we didn't give up our research on consciousness after Seele was rescued last time, we actually know quite a bit about consciousness now,"

As he spoke, Mobius unfolded a holographic image and laughed, "Through analysis, the deep principles of consciousness are actually somewhat similar to quantum entanglement. And coincidentally, this is exactly what Möbius is researching now. My Gene Science combined with Möbius's quantum science, this barrier of consciousness... may not be insurmountable!"

"However, there is still one problem."

Ling Xi then spoke up, saying, "Although Senior Sister is currently unconscious, she was Thousand-Man Herrscher for a full five minutes. During that time, she may have already leaked our entire plan. Now..."

As she spoke, Ling Xi sighed slightly, "It's estimated that the Thousand-Man Herrscher are already fully aware of our detection system and our subsequent plans targeting Thousand-Man Herrscher. What's even more critical is..."

"My senior sister knows too much classified information about our base, including secrets from various departments. Although we have now activated the second set of codes, we have still leaked a lot of information!"

"The matter of the Thousand-Man Herrscher can be replanned."

Mobius glanced directly at Ling Xi and said, "The most important thing we need to do right now is to save Klein, understand?"

"Yes, I understand."

Ling Xi nodded in agreement. Indeed, compared to fighting the Thousand-Man Herrscher, Ling Xi was more concerned about Klein now. His former senior sister, now his wife, was no exception and came first!

"You'll take over the matter of the Thousand-Man Herrscher."

After a moment's thought, Mobius said directly, "Next, I plan to delve deeper into the research of the consciousness field with Mei, so we will not participate in the plan for the Thousand-Man Herrscher. You will take over directly, and you can arrange the personnel as you wish, but Danzhu Cangxuan cannot be moved. They will be my assistants."

"Uh... I understand."

Ling Xi hesitated for a moment, actually wanting to refuse. After all, she was really not good at managing this kind of thing. It was not only tiring but also very easy to make mistakes. That's why Klein was irreplaceable!

However, considering that Mobius was trying to save Klein, Ling Xi had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the task. After all, the Thousand-Man Herrscher was now practically omnipresent, and she really didn't feel comfortable handing over command to someone else!

"Ling Xi, Klein alright?"

When Ling Xi returned to his office, Ying and the others, who had been waiting there, immediately came over, their words expressing their concern for Klein!

This is only natural. Although Klein doesn't usually interact much with everyone, everyone treats Klein a sister. Besides, they've played games together before, so they have a bond that's like a life-or-death friendship!

Just like Seele Seele a problem, everyone tried to help her. Now that it's Klein's turn, everyone will naturally do the same!

"There shouldn't be any problem."

Ling Xi also said quietly, "Although it's hard to say right now, I believe in the Doctor. After all, our Dr. Mobius and Doctor Mobius next door are two of the smartest and most capable top scientists in the world, so..."

Finally, Ling Xi smiled at everyone and said, "Don't worry, Klein... she'll be alright."

"I hope so..."

Sakura cupped her hands slightly and offered a simple prayer, even though she didn't believe in such things...

"Who will be in charge of the work of the Thousand-Man Herrscher?"

Elysia asked a different question. After all, although Klein had an accident, the crisis for the Thousand-Man Herrscher was far from over; in fact, it had become more complicated. Klein's body was too special, and in the few minutes that Klein became the Thousand-Man Herrscher, the collective subconscious of the Thousand-Man Herrscher was enough to know all the information, so...

The next steps are naturally of paramount importance!

"Oh, it's me..."

Speaking of this, Ling Xi rubbed her forehead with some sadness, because this matter was a real headache no matter how you looked at it!

"I knew it..."

Elysia immediately gave a knowing look, then stuck out her tongue and laughed, "Never mind, I'll help you."

"Thank Elysia, Lady Ellie!"

Ling Xi certainly couldn't refuse, and agreed almost without hesitation. After all, this kind of management work should be left to professionals, and Mobius obviously knew this too, which is why she just said to find someone to help!

However, this time, Ling Xi only dared to approach those who were absolutely certain could not be the Thousand-Man Herrscher, although...

This might not necessarily work, after all, gods can deceive the world and rewrite the plot, so... perhaps someone who wasn't Thousand-Man Herrscher in the original story might become Thousand-Man Herrscher in this timeline, after all...

This isn't a game world; it's a real parallel world!

"Hehe, no need for thanks, after all..."

Elysia smiled slightly and said, "How could I bear to see my favorite person troubled?"

Please praise me!. jpg

Chapter 420: Klein, I've become stronger!

After Ling Xi took over the plan to fight against the Thousand-Man Herrscher, Ling Xi brought in Elysia, Sakura, and Kevin, and carried out a low-budget version of the Wallfacer Plan!

In other words, to prevent the Thousand-Man Herrscher from obtaining human secrets again, the orders of Ling Xi, Elysia, Kevin, and Sakura need not be explained or taken responsibility for by anyone other than the four of them. The members of the Flame-Chasing Moths only need to follow orders and do not need to ask why!

Although this move would have some negative effects and even severely slow Flame-Chasing Moths, it undoubtedly played a role. Under the orders of the four leaders, although the Thousand-Man Herrscher would still occasionally appear inside the Flame-Chasing Moths, they could no longer cause any significant damage!

After Mobius and May spent half a month studying Klein, they miraculously figured out the relationship between soul and consciousness, and even obtained the secret of the collective unconscious through the core of the Thousand-Man Herrscher. Thus...

Klein's consciousness finally returned to normal, and to a certain extent, Klein could still connect to the collective subconscious of the Thousand-Man Herrscher, and Klein could even selectively upload memories...

"Senior Sister?"

In the laboratory, Ling Xi looked at Klein with curiosity. Although there was basically no change in appearance, and the Thousand-Man Herrscher had inherited Klein's memories, asking questions was useless.
