Chapter 358
Welt was increasingly confused, but his worries did not lessen in the slightest.
An hour later, Tesla and Einstein still hadn't received a reply from Welt, and finally remembered what they had repeatedly emphasized to Welt before they went to the island.
Afterwards, they hurriedly left the island and met up with Welt before finally set foot on the island together.
Of course, this process took more than two hours, with more than an hour spent on round trip, and the remaining hour spent Tesla and Einstein arguing that they were not under control.
After all, the two of them are now caught in a vicious cycle, just like how to prove that they are themselves; they really don't know how to prove that they are not being controlled by mind.
Perhaps they have already been controlled, but they themselves believe they are not being mind-controlled.
"So, how did you finally resolve it?"
In her hotel room on the island, Freya asked with a curious expression.
As a researcher, Freya does indeed possess a curiosity to seek the truth; in other words, she is genuinely curious about the self-verification process among Tesla, Einstein, and Welt.
The three people who were called into the room looked embarrassed.
To prove one is not being controlled, but one may already be controlled without knowing it. A code that only one knows may also be known after being controlled.
In fact, judging from the behavior of the victims controlled by Freya, such a situation is indeed possible.
After all, many people who have regained consciousness initially acted perfectly normally and fully integrated into their original lives.
If it weren't for the fact that the initial five million people who contracted the sleeping sickness acted together, cutting off the logistics of the Schicksal and the World Serpent Organization, and causing significant damage to communications in various countries, no one would have discovered that these victims of the sleeping sickness were all under Freya's control.
The controlled party not only possesses the original memories, but also has the exact same habits and personality as the original body owner.
So let alone proving whether they were being controlled, those who were actually controlled had no idea whether they were Freya's fabricated personality or the true owner of their original bodies.
Of course, Freya knew perfectly well what the culprit was behind all of this.
All the victims' consciousnesses slumbered in the dream world she had woven, and they lived their lives in that dream world just like any other.
Yes, Freya did create a dream world, but this dream world was almost exactly the same as the original world. She didn't need to weave beautiful dreams. As long as the victims whose consciousness was trapped in the dream thought that this dream world was reality, the victims would naturally live the same life as usual in the dream world.
Those who want to stay home can stay home, those who want to go to work can go to work, those who want to be sweet with their wives can be sweet, and those who want to be single can be single.
Of course, because this dream world does not include everyone in the world, there are many flaws. However, this dream world is under Freya's control.
Those trapped within naturally obey Freya's commands; therefore, so far, no victim has escaped the dream world, and Freya projects their behavior into their bodies based on their performance within it.
This results in a situation where the victim's consciousness is actually dormant, yet the victim appears to be no different from before.
Freya's question was not answered immediately, and both Welt and Tesla blushed.
Clearly, something 'wonderful' happened between the two.
Freya cried out in her heart what a pity, wishing she had cast a Mind Plague on Tesla earlier.
Of course, this Mind Plague was not used to manipulate Tesla, but simply to spy on him.
407. You voyeuristic Herrscher, you truly are Enemy of Humanity.
Tesla and Welt, of course, would not tell Freya about their past experiences.
After all, in order to prove that it was itself, Tesla talked about a lot of its dark history with Welt, and Welt, in order to verify, also talked about a lot of dark history between himself and Tesla that only he knew.
As a result, after Einstein reminded him that revealing his dark past did not prove he was out of control, he was so ashamed and angry with the two of them that he almost wanted to dig a hole and bury himself.
Of course, Einstein said he had a great harvest.
Freya said she was extremely envious.
Gossip isn't right... Freya, with the boundless curiosity that every researcher possesses, is naturally curious about the truth that Tesla and Welt are hiding.
"Can't I really tell you?"
Freya made her last struggle.
"I can't say."
"I refuse."
Both Tesla and Welt replied with cold expressions.
Seeing the attitudes of the two, Freya gave up struggling and threw a memory read at Einstein.
The abilities of the Herrscher of Consciousness are so overpowered, and Freya's abilities are the most compatible with those of the Herrscher of Consciousness among all the Herrscher.
She quickly retrieved the entire self-evidence process from her most recent memories.
"Wait, wait a minute!! What do you want to do?! Are you trying to read my memories?!"
Tesla clearly remembered that Freya's abilities were mental and was very worried that she might take the opportunity to read his memories.
In fact, she highly doubted Freya's intention to do so.
Tesla guessed Freya's thoughts correctly, but he didn't guess whose memories she had read.
What could be more suitable for the act of observing than a third-person perspective?
Tesla reacted quickly, and Welt's reaction was equally strong; he was on high alert, constantly wary of Freya's sneak attack.
Even if Freya conveyed the message 'I'm not a bad Herrscher's to the Anti-Entropy organization through Mei, for Welt, Tesla, and the others, Freya's identity as Herrscher from another world could not be changed.
Most importantly, Freya was the culprit behind the enormous chaos.
Welt didn't know why Otto and Kevin weren't taking action, nor what they were planning, but given the Anti-Entropy organization's drug production capacity, they clearly couldn't sustain this for very long.
Therefore, they had no choice but to come into contact with the Herrscher of this other world.
Of course, since Welt himself is a Herrscher, he doesn't have an instinctive aversion to Herrscher.
However, because of the chaos caused by Freya, he was worried about Tesla and the others contacting Freya. Now, hearing Tesla's scream, Welt instinctively reacted, and then... then his consciousness seemed to be banished to a universe, and he deeply felt his own insignificance.
"???"
As the Herrscher of Reason, Welt naturally responded quickly.
After all, banishing Welt to the spiritual world was just Freya's instinctive reaction, Welt quickly recovered from that feeling of banishment.
"That was..."
Welt was still a little confused, but Tesla grabbed Freya by the collar and yelled.
"Tell me quickly, did you read my memories?!"
Let's assume Freya has always worn the Twilight Knight's evening gown as her everyday clothes. In any case, the dress doesn't have much fabric; most of it might have been used for the skirt. With Tesla pulling it like that, Freya showed a little more skin. Of course, the exposed area wasn't much, not even as much as the bikini Kiki wore before.
However, this also reflects the difference between Freya and her Theresa. After all, Twilight Knight was originally prepared for Theresa. Freya's height and bust size are incomparable to Theresa's childlike figure. Even if it is changed to Freya's current teenage figure and a lot more fabric is used, even if they wear the same evening dress, Freya and Theresa give completely different feelings.
Of course, not much skin was shown, since Freya had no interest in giving Welt fan service.
Compared to Welt's confusion and bewilderment, Tesla seemed quite irritable, but this also prevented any estrangement between them.
At least Freya didn't stop Tesla from grabbing her collar in this parallel world, which also represents the friendliness she conveyed.
"You voyeuristic Herrscher, you truly are Enemy of Humanity!!"
Tesla, his face flushed, yelled at Freya, completely unaware that Welt and Einstein's expressions had changed.
Regardless of Freya's friendliness, grabbing someone's collar is a serious provocation, especially for someone you don't know well.
As for Tesla, a standard researcher, frankly speaking, her combat effectiveness was only 0.5 times that of a goose.
Welt was very worried that Tesla's provocative actions would upset Freya.
However, Freya's reaction surprised Welt and Einstein. Not only did she not show any signs of anger, but she also revealed a mischievous smile.
That easily understood wicked smile also gave Welt an ominous premonition.
"Sister Tesla, I really didn't expect that you and Mr. Welt would use this method of revealing each other's embarrassing pasts to prove that you're not out of control. Unfortunately, this method can't prove anything, but haha... what you and Mr. Welt revealed is indeed interesting."
Many of these are embarrassing stories that only the two of them know. If it weren't for the need to prove themselves, these embarrassing stories between the two of them would be worth savoring slowly.
Of course, now that they've turned into each other exposing their embarrassing pasts, we can savor the experience in other ways as well.
"You bastard! You bastard!! You really read my memories!!" Tesla said, his face flushed and somewhat frantic.
Freya swatted away Tesla's hand, which was still grabbing her collar, and laughed, "Don't worry, Sister Tesla, I only read Sister Einstein's memories of those three hours, not yours and Mr. Welt's, so it doesn't count as an invasion of your privacy."
"!!!"
"???"
Tesla and Einstein both felt lost.
They felt that something was off about what Freya said, but upon closer reflection, it didn't seem wrong at all.
Although Freya read Einstein's memories, she only read about three hours of them. She was just an observer, like Einstein, watching Tesla and Welt reveal their dark pasts to each other. She did not use her abilities to delve into the secrets of others' hearts.
Of course, Freya does have this kind of perverse interest, but she is selective about who she targets.
"Ahem, anyway, let's leave the jokes at that. Let me give you a detailed self-introduction first, since the Tesla, Welt, and Einstein I know are not the same as you..."
Freya observed from Tesla and Welt's mutual revelations about their past misdeeds that although Tesla and Welt did have feelings for each other, there was no further progress.
Looking at the timelines of the two worlds, in the 2012 world, Welt and Tesla had been married for several years, and they were considering waiting a few more years before having children, out of consideration for their adopted daughter's feelings. In the 2017 world, however, the relationship between Welt and Tesla was like a long-distance race, and they weren't even halfway through.
After Freya finished speaking, she did give a fairly detailed self-introduction, and of course, she also stated her purpose for coming to this world.
Freya had no intention of concealing her actions. Whether the people of this world considered her evil or good, Freya didn't care. Everything she did was to find a way to break through the original world.
Seeing Freya's formality, Welt and the others also gave a fairly detailed self-introduction.
However, they were very curious about how their counterparts in the parallel world were doing.
"Speaking of which, Freya, in your world, what are we like? You seemed to have said before that you were very familiar with us."
"Yes, where should I begin? But we should also call Kiki over. I haven't been willing to tell her much before... Since you're all curious, it's easier to tell you all at once."
Freya answered Tesla's question.
Not long after, Kiki and Mei arrived at the room together.
During her leisurely time on the southern island, Freya booked three rooms at the hotel: one for herself, one for Kiki, and one for Raven and Jackal.
However, Freya needs a body pillow to fall asleep at night, and for the time being, Kiki, Jackal, and Raven take turns being the body pillow.
By the way, Raven has been taking on the role of the body pillow for the past three days, and now Raven's been lying in bed all morning unable to move because of back pain.
Mei was just in Kiki's room, catching up with Kiki she hadn't seen in a long time. She also used a communicator to contact Theresa and Bronya, letting them know that Kiki was safe.
After Kiki and Mei entered the room, Freya began to slowly recount her story with the Anti-Entropy organization from her original world.
The story begins in 2006 with the birth of replicant K422.
Kiki was speechless for a moment, then said, "Uh, should we start from so long ago?"
Tesla and Einstein both gave Kiki a reproachful look, clearly annoyed that the girl had disturbed their researchers' keen curiosity.
"I will talk about some things, mainly about the Anti-Entropy organization in parallel worlds. That's what Mr. Welt and Sister Tesla want to know. Of course, if I were to tell them in a fragmented way, and suddenly say that in my original world, Mr. Welt and Sister Tesla are already married, have an adopted daughter, and plan to have their own child in 2016, Mr. Welt and Sister Tesla in this world would definitely be completely confused."
"..."
Kiki was speechless; she did know the identity of the adopted daughter.
After all, it was another version of herself from another world. Although they were both clones of K423, the experiences of her other self in another world did indeed leave her somewhat dumbfounded when she first heard them.
Even Kiki herself never imagined that she would be Welt and Tesla's adopted daughter in a parallel world.
At this moment, both Welt and Tesla were startled.
"???"
"???"
Einstein was clearly intrigued, and the researchers' curiosity was immediately piqued. This was valuable information from a parallel world, and they absolutely could not miss even a single punctuation mark.
"Wait, wait a minute, Freya!! What did you just say?!"
"Tesla, calm down. That's you and me in a parallel universe, it has little to do with you and me in this world!"
Welt wanted to dissuade Tesla, but he himself was just as flustered.
At the same time, I also felt a bit envious.
In his view, his parallel world self has achieved almost all of his desires.
"Freya, it doesn't matter whether you speak quickly or slowly, please explain your story with the Anti-Entropy organization in detail."
