"Tsk, it's strange that an organization meant to combat Honkai would actually join forces with a Herrscher."
In Tianqiong City, within the Shencheng Medical.
The Jackal, who was evaluated by Raven as wearing a dog-headed mask, finally appeared. Just by instinct, Wendy confirmed: she indeed did not like her.
This was normal; Jackal did not like Wendy either.
No one would like a Herrscher, especially one from the World Serpent of that era.
However, although Jackal did not like her, she also did not dare to act against the one in front of her with ulterior motives.
The cadres of the World Serpent were absolutely loyal to the Lord, and Jackal was no exception. She could only subtly throw shade, "Natasha, you've explained the situation, right?"
"Don't worry, I'm not as unreliable as you."
Even within the World Serpent, the relationships among the cadres were quite delicate.
Raven disapproved of Jackal's reckless behavior, and Jackal similarly disliked Raven's disobedience. However, the two often found themselves executing tasks together.
There was no choice; there were too few cadres.
"Then let's get started; it's my first time using this device as well."
Jackal looked at Wendy and provocatively said, "Herrscher, you better not be scared next."
Shencheng Medical rose to prominence in Europe, actively selling anti-Honkai drugs to various European governments after the Second Honkai Eruption. In fact, these drugs were developed by Jackal herself, capable of probabilistically activating Stigmata.
At that time, she attempted to use this method to carry out Project Stigma but encountered quite a tricky situation.
Schicksal intervened.
This seemed understandable; even Schicksal had not invented a drug to combat Honkai, so when would it be the turn of a medical company?
The impact of the Second Honkai Eruption was too great, and Otto personally came to Shencheng Medical.
Then, all of Shencheng Medical's anti-Honkai drugs were bought by Schicksal, becoming their exclusive supplier.
If a company has a stable customer base, then it is only a matter of time before that company grows strong.
But Jackal was unwilling.
These drugs were originally preparatory drugs for Project Stigma; she intended to activate the Stigmata genes in the human body through these drugs and then create a Major Honkai Eruption… but this was intercepted by Schicksal, and she was naturally dissatisfied.
Therefore, under her scheme, Jackal moved Shencheng Medical to an area where Schicksal could not reach and where the population was dense.
Shenzhou.
With Jackal's efforts, Shencheng Medical finally established effective contact with Shenzhou and then secretly transported their goods.
This naturally could not escape Otto's notice, but it didn't matter; as long as they arrived in an area where Schicksal could not reach, the plan could proceed as scheduled.
However, just as Shencheng Medical had moved to Tianqiong City, and Jackal was about to sell the drugs to ordinary people and prepare for Project Stigma.
The Lord of the World Serpent issued an order, requiring the members of the World Serpent to find a person living in this era.
The Lord left behind only a photo, which Gray Serpent copied and reproduced through technology. This was the photo in Raven's hand.
According to the Lord, this was the lover or sister of his deceased friend.
But no one knows why such a close relationship could still span fifty thousand years.
Did the people from fifty thousand years ago go to the future, or did the people from the future go back to fifty thousand years ago? Even the people from World Serpent want to know this.
Under Wendy's astonished gaze, a passage appeared in the lower levels of the Divine City Medical.
Raven introduced, "This is a stable quantum leap passage, the technology comes from fifty thousand years ago, leading directly to headquarters. It's very stable, so there's no need to worry."
Wendy wasn't overly surprised.
Stable quantum leap technology existed in this era; Anti-Entropy had quantum leap Titans, and Schicksal could also use quantum channels to transport Valkyrie Armor.
However, establishing a passage for humans to travel together using this technology was indeed the first time she had seen it.
She collected her thoughts, watching Jackal walk through first, then followed as the second.
Raven was the last one.
At this time, the business of Divine City Medical had not yet started, so she didn't need to stay here. Running a business was not Raven's forte anyway.
…
…
When Wendy arrived at the World Serpent headquarters, she quickly determined that this place was not on land; more precisely, it was located beneath the surface.
In fact, this place resembled a subspace layer between the ground and space.
No wonder Schicksal knew nothing about this force.
As long as it was within satellite coverage, Schicksal could know the location. But through quantum channels and bases within the subspace layer, it was only natural that Schicksal was unaware of World Serpent's actions.
However, Wendy didn't care about these things.
She looked at Raven and said, "Can you tell me now what kind of organization you are, and what kind of person he is?"
Raven raised an eyebrow and said, "It's a bit complicated to explain, but simply put, our Lord is a pioneer of this era, and World Serpent is an organization fighting against Honkai."
"And the person you are concerned about... is a comrade of the Lord from the previous era, who has already perished in the battle against Finality."
"The reason we sought you out is simply because we hope you can provide some clarity. But based on your reaction, the problem may not lie with you, but rather with the Lord's former friend."
The previous civilization era left behind many technologies.
Whether it was the Ark capable of sailing the starry seas, the Stigmata that engraved memories, or the Soulium that recorded information, and the surgeries that integrated Honkai...
But there was one thing that was never involved: time.
That was a realm that mortals could not yet touch. The people of the previous civilization era had indeed thought about reversing time to change the destined tragedies.
However, the current situation is that World Serpent knows of a person who should have died fifty thousand years ago appearing fifty thousand years later.
As long as it involves time, it could easily alter the fate of future individuals.
Even...
Kevin had begun to suspect whether Chen Ran had truly died or was instead influencing every moment of the future and present by continuously adjusting time.
Wendy took a deep breath and said, "I want to know more, not just hear some information. Why has his trace been completely erased in this era? And why is there this photo?"
She had too many truths she wanted to uncover.
"Sure."
Jackal said lightly, "Although the Lord hasn't returned, he instructed me that you have the qualification to enter there in advance."
"Tsk, though I think it would be better if you offered up the Herrscher Core."
Clearly, Jackal had some opinions about Wendy.
These opinions were not concealed.
At this time, Kevin had already awakened but was deeply immersed in the Sea of Quanta. He needed a high concentration of Honkai Source to replenish his strength and prepare to break free from that sea.
The Herrscher Core was indeed the best choice.
Wendy ignored Jackal's sarcasm.
"Natasha, the newcomer is in your hands," Jackal said directly.
Raven clicked her tongue, "You always leave the dangerous tasks to me. I really don't want to go in there again."
That said, she still led Wendy into a long corridor.
Inside the corridor was a door, and she activated the device.
"Go in, Elysian Realm, a place you are destined not to like," Raven commented.
