The Boy Tries to Resist the Darkness

If we don't suppress the contradictions soon, the Anti-Entropy problem may really be gone.

Thinking of this, Cocolia gave the boy a gentle smile and said, "You've come to visit Seele too?"

After the danger period of the experiment's failure had passed, Seele had been transferred to a regular ward, was now allowed to be visited.

"Yes."

Shihen nodded slightly, Shi Hen expression indifferent, as if he had no desire to talk to the executor any further.

As an inheritor of Welt's spirit, the boy naturally has no fear of power.

"Then you can go in. Bronya and the others are already inside."

Seeing the indifference on the boy's face, Cocolia's bitterness deepened.

They had a fairly close relationship when they were at the Anti-Entropy Headquarters.

Without saying anything more, Shi Hen simply walked past Cocolia, gently knocked on the door, and stepped into the ward.

Upon opening the door, the boy was greeted by three girls chatting and laughing.

Yes, referring to the group of people talking, Seele smiled gently.

"Team leader?"

Upon seeing the boy, Seele paused for a moment, then her smile deepened.

The girl has always been a little angel.

"Hmm." Nodding gently, Shi Hen frowned as he looked at the blue-haired girl. "I saw the notice about leaving the team. What mission did you go on? How did you get so badly injured?"

Although Seele kept smiling, she couldn't hide her pale complexion.

Having directly experienced the impact of Conquest Gem, how could the girl's body not be affected?

If it weren't for the girl's high adaptability to Honkai Energy and the Stigmata being quite sturdy, the other party would have turned to ashes long ago, just like the previous test subjects.

Experiments related to Herrscher Gem have always had a terrifying mortality rate.

Take the Serenity Gem and the Desire Gem in Schicksal's possession, for example; the number of A-rank Valkyrie who have died on them is already in the double digits.

It can be said that before a true suitable candidate appears, the mortality rate of the Herrscher Gem experiment is approximately 100%.

"I'm fine, Captain." Refusing to discuss the mission, Seele simply gave the boy a gentle smile. "The doctor said I only need about a week of rest before I can be discharged. Participating in missions is no problem at all."

As she spoke, the girl bent her arm to show off her slender, thin biceps.

Seele's strength lies in her Honkai Energy adaptability, not in being a muscle-bound idiot like Kaslana.

Gritting her teeth, Xing shouted angrily, "What do you mean 'no problem'? This is clearly another trip to do something..."

"Xing!" Bronya interrupted coldly, her gaze calm as she looked at the boy. "Please rest assured, Captain, this kind of thing will not happen again."

She will never forgive anyone who tries to hurt Seele.

Even so, that was Mother Cocolia!

"Bronya ..." Looking at the gray-haired girl face was expressionless, Shi Hen gently placed his hand on Seele's head, slowly smoothing the girl's soft hair, and let out a long sigh, "I'm just a little worried about you."

Even a boy who embodies the Welt's spirit will feel powerless when faced with the darkness deep within Anti-Entropy.

"Bronya knows."

The girl nodded, her gray eyes remaining remarkably calm.

"Bronya, you've always been the most mature of the three, and I'm willing to trust your judgment. But..." Shi Hen paused for a moment before continuing, "If there's anything I can do, please just say the word."

"Bronya will."

She spoke softly, gray-haired girl voice softening slightly.

Although she didn't think the boy could help her in this matter, the feeling of being cared for warmed Bronya's heart.

"That's good." Nodding slightly, Shi Hen finally smiled, his gaze softening as he looked at Seele on the hospital bed. "Speaking of which, you all know that it was the New Year in Shenzhou a few days ago, right? It's been quite lively there lately..."

Accompanied by the pattering rain outside the window, laughter and cheerful voices filled the warmly heated ward once again, as if spring had already arrived.

It was late at night.

Facing the projected screen in front of her, Cocolia tapped her index finger rhythmically on the table, a look of hesitation on her face.

She really didn't want to have too much contact with that madman Welt White unless absolutely necessary.

But after thinking for a long time about what Seele had told her, Cocolia still chose to connect to that secret channel.

"Lord Cocolia, you're really slow." The voice coming from the channel was still as hoarse and deep as ever, yet it carried a natural air of condescending arrogance. "Has your reaction become sluggish, or is that brat just taking too long to wake up?"

"Welt! What exactly are you trying to do!?"

When Seele was mentioned, Cocolia n't help but sound a bit hysterical.

If it weren't for this bastard interfering, Seele's experiment to Conquest Gem would probably have succeeded already.

According to post-analysis, the fusion rate between the girl and the Conquest Gem reached a maximum of 19%, and it continues to rise.

But because of this madman, the perfectly good experiment not only failed completely, but Seele almost lost her life as a result.

"What I mean is, that brat should have already told you, right?" Welt White said leisurely, his tone calm but full of threat. "Lord Cocolia, have you forgotten that I am the sole leader of Anti-Entropy?"

"But we agreed before that you cannot interfere in alliance affairs."

Cocolia tried to reason with the other party.

Are you teaching me how to do things?

Welt White asked softly.

Clearly, the Anti-Entropy Leader only talks about physics.

"..." She gritted her teeth Cocolia remained silent for a long time before finally sighing helplessly, "Then, may I ask, Lord Alliance Leader, what instructions do you have regarding the Conquest Gem Experiment?"

There was no way around it; even though she had mastered most of the resources of the Anti-Entropy organization, Welt White's fist was still the strongest.

Even now, she still doesn't understand how the other party interfered with the experiment.

"For the next transplant experiment, let's just use Raiden Mei."

Welt White's voice carried a hint of satisfaction.

"..." Cocolia was stunned. "Welt, what do you mean by this!?"

Conquest Gem is undoubtedly perilous, there is also a very low probability that the experimenter will achieve extraordinary success.

For a moment, she couldn't tell whether the other party wanted to use her to kill Raiden Mei, or genuinely believed that the girl had a chance of a successful experiment.

"Don't you think that kid is a talent?" Welt White retorted. "Also, remember to call me Lord Alliance Leader from now on."

"... Yes, Lord Alliance Leader." Cocolia said through gritted teeth, her face full of resentment, "But once Raiden Mei gains control of the Conquest Gem's Gem, she might very well lose control."

If the Raiden Ryoma is still alive, then she will have a trump card in her hand that can restrain the opponent.

But... Raiden Ryoma was killed by that madman on the other side!

If Raiden Mei really becomes the Third Herrscher, Cocolia feels that she will definitely be on the girl's kill list.

Without a doubt, Welt White must have stabbed her when he killed Raiden Ryoma.

Cocolia had complete confidence in the character of her ally.

That is why, even though she had learned that Raiden Mei possessed Natural Stigmata, she was still ranked quite low on her experiment list.

"Isn't that quite interesting?" Welt White's voice was full of mockery. "I'd really like to try what it feels like to kill a Herrscher."

I originally thought your Herrscher of Reason would step forward, but I didn't expect him to be just a coward.

"The former leader of Anti-Entropy is truly an insult to the name Welt."

"..."

Hearing these words, Cocolia was speechless for a moment.

Speaking of names, wasn't it Welt Yang who called me "Welt" first?

You, an imposter, have the nerve to say that the other party insulted Welt?

Shaking her head to dismiss these thoughts, Cocolia asked in a serious tone, "Are you serious?"

Just because he wanted to experience what it felt like to kill Herrscher, he decided to create Herrscher.

Is that person out of their mind?!

"It's lonely at the top," Welt White explained slowly, his tone full of arrogant disdain. "When you're truly in my position, you'll find that the world is really small, and you can't even find a slightly higher hill."

Cocolia: "..."

She really wanted to say that the S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal is quite strong, and if you have nothing better to do, go and fight Durandal.

But after considering the other person's mindset, Cocolia swallowed her words back and asked, "What if Raiden Mei also fails?"

Even possessing Natural Stigmata does not guarantee the ability to accommodate Herrscher Gem.

"Then let's try another one." Welt White answered without the slightest hesitation, as if he didn't care at all that the cost of the failed experiment was a girl's life. "Don't you have many kids under you who are good at adapting to Honkai Energy? You're bound to produce a Herrscher of Thunder."

"Walter"

Cocolia was enraged when she heard the other party so disregard her daughter's life.

"So, just pray that Raiden Mei passes the experiment, Cocolia- sama~"

Welt White said in a joking tone, and the projection screen immediately went black.

The other party hung up the call.

"Welt White, you'll regret this!"

Cocolia n't help but shout at the now-black screen.

Chapter 141 The Boy Tries to Rebel Against the Darkness

It's raining again.

As the last class of the afternoon ended, looking at the continuous drizzle outside the classroom window, Mei couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

It's been raining so much lately, it's almost never stopped.

You should go home early.

With that thought in mind, the girl quickly gathered up her textbooks and stationery on the table.

I wonder when Shi Hen will return to Changkong City; I haven't seen him for several days now...

As Mei packed her things, this thought couldn't help but pop into her mind.

Buzz!

Upon hearing the familiar notification sound, Mei quickly took out her phone and glanced at the screen, a slight smile involuntarily curving her lips.

Ignoring the curious or resentful stares around her, the girl picked up her schoolbag and quickly walked out of the classroom.

She had no interest in arguing with these little girls who knew nothing about the world.

As Mei walked out of the school gate with her umbrella, she soon saw a familiar black sedan.

That was the car driven by Takada, the driver the Raiden Family used to employ.

Even though she had said she would no longer hire him and hoped that men would stay away from her, Takada still picked her up and dropped her off at school every single day without fail.

He quickened his pace and walked to the black sedan. The window rolled down, revealing the face of a middle-aged man.

"Miss, please come up quickly, it's raining outside."

Upon seeing the girl, Takada immediately smiled.

"No, Mr. Takada. You should go back by yourself this time. I have an appointment now."

With a smile, Mei didn't give the other party a chance to refuse and walked lightly across the car.

Takada: "???"

Regardless of who the girl was supposed to meet, just now... did the young lady smile?

Without bothering to explain to the bewildered Takada, Mei's gaze quickly swept across the area and spotted a dark blue sedan.
