After taking Sirin for a tour around Fire Moth, Chen Ran brought her to the First Research Institute.
He planned to keep Sirin by his side for easier supervision. After all, Sirin in her current state wasn't good at combat; if she used the Herrscher's powers, Herrscher Sirin wouldn't be bound.
As for Chen Ran wanting Sirin to join the First Research Institute, Mobius didn't refuse.
Currently, Chen Ran had made many contributions to the First Research Institute, arranging for one person was just a small matter.
However, when Mobius inquired about Sirin's identity, Chen Ran firmly claimed she was his cousin.
Mobius: "..."
She wasn't particularly interested in gossip, but whenever she saw Sirin, there was always a sense of familiarity.
In response, Chen Ran could only pretend to know nothing.
Mobius didn't make things difficult, but she also didn't give Sirin a formal position, making her an external member.
Chen Ran didn't expect Sirin to do much; after all, she was someone who still needed to use her fingers to count.
At that moment, Vill-V sent a message to Chen Ran:
"The global connection terminal you wanted has been completed, come pick it up when you have time."
"OK."
Chen Ran's spirits lifted; he had finally waited for this.
During this time, number 666 had still been focusing on the Stigmata terminal and global connection, and regarding the latter, Chen Ran had high expectations for its establishment.
He didn't expect the global connection to control everyone directly like Fimilis, connecting everyone's consciousness.
However, his idea was to connect it to many important people, sharing the flow of information.
And information wouldn't be diminished by the length of time.
In other words, what was known fifty thousand years later could also be known fifty thousand years ago.
Sharing information was the biggest use of the global connection that Chen Ran could think of at the moment.
However, just relying on this point wasn't enough to connect anyone to the global network; after all, compared to sharing information, people paid more attention to privacy.
But what if this was combined with the Stigmata space?
He built the global network because Kiana had the opportunity to connect to the Stigmata space within the virtual numbers, allowing her to traverse to various nodes of the Kaslana family through the Stigmata administrator across the length of time.
This was something that could only be done in the dimension of consciousness.
If relying on Kiana to place the global terminal in the Stigmata space and hand it over to the Stigmata administrator.
Then everyone's privacy would only be known to the Stigmata administrator, and the absolute fairness of the Stigmata administrator meant there was no need to worry about privacy being exposed.
Moreover, the global network built through the Stigmata administrator could also allow every connected person to enjoy high-quality information processed by the Stigmata administrator without worrying about their brains being occupied by junk information.
The Stigmata administrator was an excellent AI, capable of opposing Kevin himself in the storyline, enough to believe in her absolute fairness.
Furthermore, with the connection between the Stigmata administrator and people, it would be easier for them to understand the virtual space and the dimension of consciousness.
This was the benefit of handing the global network over to the Stigmata administrator.
This was also an idea Chen Ran had previously.
But since Sirin arrived, he had new thoughts about the global connection.
Kiana had the chance to meet the Stigmata administrator, but the Stigmata administrator might not execute Kiana's commands.
But Sirin was different.
She was the Herrscher of the Void.
She could build the Stigmata space herself.
…
…
In Shenzhou, Canghai City, at the Honkai Special Research Institute.
Fuxi looked at the weak Nuwa, her eyes revealing a hint of worry: "Are you okay?"
"Nothing, just 200cc of blood," Nuwa forced a smile and said to her Big Sister, "Professor Liu has already figured out the key points of the super transformation surgery, and our parents will be fine soon."
Since the Third Honkai Eruption, Canghai City had been affected by the Honkai, and the Shenzhou government organized everyone along the coast to relocate inland.
Honkai increased with the entropy of civilization, which was a conclusion widely known. The denser the population and the higher the level of civilization in a city, the greater the likelihood of a Honkai outbreak.
Therefore, after a Honkai outbreak in Canghai City, the probability of a Second Honkai Eruption was extremely low.
The Honkai Special Research Institute was established here.
Shenzhou's efficiency was unquestionable; in a city swept by Honkai, the special research institute was quickly established, with experts in materials science, physics, biology, and various other disciplines already in place.
With money paving the way, Shenzhou brought in many people from Fire Moth, and relying on the information these people provided, the research at the Honkai Special Research Institute advanced by leaps and bounds.
Among them, the research institute valued the data brought by Fuxi and Nuwa the most.
Injecting people with Honkai genes to change their life traits in a secondary surgery: the super transformation surgery.
Now, Nuwa's genes had already mixed human genes and genes that counteract Honkai memory; although this was a weakened version of the super transformation surgery, it was still worth researching.
Fuxi and Nuwa's request was to find a way to cure Honkai disease through the super transformation surgery.
This was their only hope.
Fuxi's eyes revealed a hint of worry: "200cc of blood is still quite a lot; you've been supplying blood all this time and can only eat liquid food."
"When we get back to the research institute, I'll eat a lot," Nuwa said softly, "Just consider it as me dieting now."
"Idiot, you're not even a hundred pounds, what are you dieting for?"
Fuxi was a bit angry but didn't know what she was angry about.
She sighed and said, "By the way, Fire Moth sent something over; it's from Senior Chen Ran."
Nuwa's eyes brightened: "What is it? Let me see quickly."
"Schariac serum," Fuxi said. "After you mentioned the Honkai disease that night, he extracted a portion of the Schariac serum and sent it here; I've already received it."
"It might be useful for our parents' illness."
She didn't take out the serum because aside from keeping a portion for herself, the rest was handed over to the research institute.
Just as the sisters were chatting, a staff member walked in.
"Fuxi, Nuwa, Professor Liu wants to see you."
The sisters were taken aback and then walked in.
They saw a middle-aged woman in her forties who, upon seeing the sisters, excitedly asked, "We've already detected the components of the Schariac serum, but many things are still unclear."
"However, based on the actual tests, the Schariac serum has effects of Honkai rejection and control; it can theoretically completely cure Honkai disease. Where did you get this serum, and do you have more? I need to conduct extensive research."
She excitedly grabbed Fuxi's hand: "Honkai disease has hope for a cure, no, even beyond that, humanity has hope to defeat Honkai."
Fuxi and Nuwa exchanged glances, both seeing the excitement in each other's eyes.
"This was sent over from Fire Moth."
Fuxi said calmly.
But Nuwa couldn't wait to ask: "I want to know, after using this serum, when will my parents get better?"
"They've already been arranged to use it first," Professor Liu paused and said, "The current situation is very optimistic, but because of the long freezing time, physiological functions will take some time to recover; you should be able to see them the day after tomorrow."
She paused and said, "Who is the person from Fire Moth researching the serum? Do you have contact information? I want to talk to him face to face about the information; I need you to help me introduce him."
Upon hearing that their parents had hope for recovery, the sisters were naturally extremely excited.
But along with Professor Liu's words, they felt a bit awkward.
Although Chen Ran hadn't asked them to keep it a secret, they understood how important this was.
Fuxi said seriously: "Sorry, we can't disclose this; we promised to keep it confidential for others. If there's an opportunity to inquire later, we will inform Professor Liu."
Professor Liu's expression stiffened slightly.
She sighed: "Is it because of technical restrictions? I can probably understand."
She took a deep breath and said, "The serum and data you left are very important; once your parents wake up, you will be free. After that, whether to go to Fire Moth, join here, or have other options, it's all up to you."
"That's great."
Nuwa excitedly grabbed Fuxi's hand, writing a few words on the back of her hand: I want to go to Fire Moth.
Fuxi sighed.
This silly Little Sister, her soul had already been taken away.
Just as they were chatting, they suddenly felt the ground shaking.
"An earthquake?" The three looked at each other, and Professor Liu quickly said, "Hurry, protect all the test tubes; the contents are very important!"
But Nuwa's face turned pale: "No, this isn't an earthquake."
"I can sense that a powerful Honkai Beast has appeared."
…
…
Canghai City is adjacent to the South Shenzhou Sea in Shenzhou. Before the Honkai outbreak, cargo ships in the South Shenzhou Sea were always densely trafficked.
But now, there were no cargo ships in the sea, not even fishing boats.
The establishment of the Honkai Special Research Institute here was primarily focused on safety and confidentiality. Aside from the basic military presence, there were no ordinary individuals left in this area.
But no one expected that East Asia, which had already experienced a Honkai outbreak, was once again facing the threat of Honkai.
There were no Herrschers, but there was a gigantic Honkai Beast comparable to a Herrscher.
"It's a Judgment-class Honkai Beast."
When Fuxi and Nuwa emerged from the research institute, despair was evident in their eyes.
The enormous Honkai Beast emerged from the sea, with only a part of its head visible, yet it loomed like a towering mountain. Each of its movements sent slight tremors through the ground.
"Strange, there shouldn't be a Judgment-class Honkai Beast appearing here," Fuxi pondered.
Professor Liu quickly said, "I've contacted support; they'll take us away."
Nuwa suddenly panicked, "Big Sister, what about Mom and Dad!"
Professor Liu's expression turned serious, "You two are the most important right now."
As they discussed, the military of Canghai City had already assembled and was attacking the deep-sea giant.
However, whether it was strategic missiles or the general-purpose weapons purchased from Fire Moth, they only served to provoke the anger of the Honkai Beast.
Nuwa took a deep breath, "Big Sister, leave the Honkai Beast to me. You find a way to get Mom, Dad, and the professor to safety."
"Nuwa, what are you planning to do?"
"Don't forget, my body has undergone surgery."
She was also a MANTIS.
Although a weakened version of MANTIS, and perhaps not even able to defeat an ordinary warrior, in this situation, she had no choice but to charge forward.
During her time with Fire Moth, she hadn't learned nothing.
Nuwa was well aware that the environment of Canghai City did not have the conditions to give birth to a Judgment-class Honkai Beast, and there had been no Major Honkai Eruption near the South Shenzhou Sea.
There was only one possibility: this Honkai Beast had been lurking at the bottom of the sea for a long time, and the reason for its emergence was singular.
Attracted by Schariac serum.
This was the only possibility.
Nuwa felt a twinge of guilt in her heart, which was also the reason she chose to fight. Even if she might not accomplish much, at least she would be involved.
Even if it meant sacrifice, she was not afraid.
She just felt a bit sorry for her Big Sister and Chen Ran.
With her gun in hand, Nuwa shot at the Honkai Beast, which seemed to sense her presence and suddenly roared at her in fury.
The powerful sound waves temporarily deafened the girl, and at that moment, she saw the gigantic Honkai Beast leap into the air.
Its mountain-like body soared, leaving Nuwa momentarily stunned.
It was just too big.
She finally got a clear look at the Honkai Beast, its massive mouth seemingly capable of swallowing the entire sun, while everyone was shrouded in the shadow known as Honkai.
At that moment, a flare appeared from the sky, like a meteor descending from heaven.
She saw a Lance pierce the jumping Honkai Beast.
The mountain-like body was lifted by the girl and thrown into the sea.
A girl clad in golden armor appeared, her gaze fixed on the Honkai Beast, exuding a fighting spirit.
"Come on."
Her voice was steady, and she didn't seem much larger than Nuwa.
However, her leaping figure resembled a lion on the prairie, strong and powerful.
The girl gripped the Lance and thrust it directly into the Honkai Beast's head.
"So strong."
Nuwa's eyes widened in astonishment, "Is she from Fire Moth? But Fire Moth shouldn't arrive this quickly."
But no matter who it was, they were saved.
At that moment, Nuwa suddenly felt a sharp pain on her head.
"You idiot," Fuxi scolded, hitting her, "What if something happens? How am I supposed to explain it to Mom and Dad?"
"Ouch, that hurts."
Nuwa quickly begged for mercy, "I was just anxious."
She quickly changed the subject, "Who is that girl? I've never seen her before."
"Not sure, but the probability of her being from Fire Moth is very high."
Fuxi thought for a moment and said, "After all, only Fire Moth could cultivate someone like her. It's normal that we haven't seen her in the first research institute."
At this moment, under everyone's gaze, the girl was continuously charging with the Lance, using her fists and feet to attack the massive Honkai Beast.
Seeing the Honkai Beast about to submerge into the water to escape, she gathered Honkai Energy to form a bow and arrow, drawing it back with her foot.
"Stars, gather here!"
Then, everything came to an end.
