"How can I remember what happened back then?"
MEI covered her forehead and sat up from the hibernation chamber.
"Back then... well, what happened back then?"
MEI had a headache and the blurred memories in her mind made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Could it be a sequel to hibernation? After all, no one knows what consequences more than 50,000 years of hibernation will bring. I hope my brain is not frozen."
MEI crawled out of the chamber with hands and feet a little stiff.
Fortunately, the various life support functions of the hibernation chamber were very good; otherwise, she would face problems such as, among others, muscle atrophy.
"Ugh..."
But, even so, MEI almost lost her balance when she first walked.
"It's terrible in all aspects..."
MEI lamented her current physical condition as she looked around.
The entire hibernation room had been turned off.
If it weren't for the independent power supply and several large-capacity backup batteries, she would probably be dead.
Although theoretically these generators, the final crystallization of civilization, have a lifespan of much more than 50,000 years, the more sophisticated the instruments, the more likely they are to break down over time for various and strange reasons.
Therefore, for greater security, MEI left independent power supply functions and batteries that can support long-term consumption in important facilities.
MEI's eyes quickly adapted to the dark environment and, relying on the few memories left in her mind, she successfully found the location of the storage warehouse she left behind before hibernation.
"Warehouse 1728..."
The Soul Steel warehouse is still very resistant.
Despite having passed more than 50,000 years, this warehouse lights up immediately after MEI enters the password.
Then, the square Soul Steel warehouse "disintegrates" and the items stored inside, one cubic meter in size, float in the air thanks to the anti-gravity function, facilitating their transfer.
"It seems that Elysia's idea back then made some sense... But what did Elysia do in the end... Tsk!"
MEI found that she could not remember most of the things about the 13 heroes, which was almost unbelievable for MEI, who had become the one who made the decisions for Fire Moth in the later period.
"The only people I can remember... seem to be Kevin, Su, and big sister Hua."
No, the memory in this area has become completely chaotic.
She doesn't remember anything other than their names.
"This experience is terrible."
That empty feeling made MEI begin to "do an inventory" of her memories.
Childhood memories were all normal, memories of joining Fire Moth were all normal, and memories of conspiring against Mobius were all normal.
The last memory is...
(MEI, my time here is almost up... Hmm? You ask about the next time we'll see each other?Who knows? But as long as we keep going, there will always be a moment for us to see each other again, right? Maybe next time won't take long.)
By pure chance, the last clear memory that remained in her mind was Tian Shi's last words.
It's not that she can't remember the rest of the memories, but they are always fragmented.
"Should I thank God for this gift?"
MEI's expression was a little complicated.
"Now that I think about it, my mood was surprisingly calm at that moment, if I'm not mistaken, that was not the last phrase the doctor and I said; it was just the last one I remembered."
Since she knew that the example of big sister Hua existed, and she had summarized the Doctor's rules, the atmosphere of separation between the two was not very strong.
MEI picked up the floating objects and then used the prepared emergency battery to restore power to the entire room.
"Prometheus? Prometheus?"
"Prometheus is restarting."
"Long time no see, Dr. MEI."
A clear and beautiful girl's voice came from the computer that had recovered its functionality: Prometheus, one of the super artificial intelligences of the previous civilization.
Like Anti-Entropy's Ada, Prometheus is a supercomputer of the previous civilization.
However, in terms of computational power, Prometheus should be considered the most powerful.
She calculated that there are a total of fourteen Herrschers, and that the previous civilization will inevitably perish at the hands of the most powerful Herrscher, the Herrscher of the End.
"Long time no see, Prometheus. I'm doing a self-check."
MEI took a syringe and injected it into her body while she was talking.
A specially formulated nutritional supplement that can quickly restore the body after a long period of hibernation.
"Understood. Starting check..."
Prometheus replied quickly.
"Check completed. The overall functional damage is 11%. Only the interaction module is damaged. There is no other damage."
This response relieved MEI.
One tenth damaged was completely acceptable.
By the way, the intelligent interaction module is used to maintain the image projection and has little importance in practical applications.
—By the way, Prometheus's image is Bronya.
"Let's expel the core and go out to see the current era."
"Yes, Dr. MEI."
After a while of processing, the core, the size of a palm, came out of the computer.
After saving Prometheus's core, MEI found her way to the surface with the light emitted by the Soul Steel Warehouse.
"I hope the way up is passable, although there are special objects in the spare parts, I can't pick them up now."
MEI vaguely remembered that at the end of the war, she did not have time to exercise due to all her busy matters, but she still maintained the habit of eating midnight snacks, so she not only did not stay in shape, but she actually gained some weight.
Well, it is also thanks to the healthy body that she developed under Tian Shi's stimulus when she was young.
MEI unconsciously touched her waist.
Fortunately, there was no extra fat.
That's right, I slept in the hibernation chamber for so long, how could I still have energy to maintain fat?
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Maybe I'll meet the Doctor, if I have some fat around my waist…
She shook her head and left that thought behind.
Afterward, she picked up some supplies that could be useful, such as a Soul Steel doll, and then opened the door to the ground.
...................
Sky City is always very busy at night.
Although the number of Honkai incidents in Sky City has decreased significantly due to Word Serpent temporarily stopping the Stigma Project, K423 (or Kiana a more intimate name), as a Herrscher, still unconsciously attracts Honkai beasts to this city.
With a shot, the last Honkai beast fell to the ground and Kiana breathed lightly.
"Ha... The Honkai beasts in area B3 have been eliminated. Do you need me anywhere else?"
"The Air Patrol mutinied in area C6 and traces of assassins were detected in area C8. Choose one of these two tasks."
Jackal's annoying voice came from the communicator.
"Huh? No, isn't Shencheng Pharmaceutical secretly controlling Sky City? Why would the Sky Guardians mutiny?"
"I suggest you ask Miss Rita about this matter."
Jackal said it in a somewhat sarcastic tone.
"And you can also learn about the mecha mutiny that affected the entire city a few days ago. By the way, the targets of the mutiny were your companions."
In their world, snakes at least hide a little, but when Schicksal shows up, it is really unscrupulous.
"Miss Jackal, if you keep saying that, I'm going to sue you for defamation."
Rita seemed to be right next to Jackal, and listening to that voice one could imagine the maid's fake smile.
"So it is related to Schicksal, right?"
Kiana is no longer the Paramecium she used to be.
Although she still can't understand more complex riddles, this level does not prevent her from understanding at all.
"You are really disturbing. Wasn't your old house destroyed?"
"Be careful what you say, Miss Kiana.
Don't forget that our mission is to hunt you down."
Rita, who was sitting next to Jackal, listening to the communication and observing the surveillance, couldn't help but mock.
Don't you know that I am very disgusted with you for the Tian Shi matter?
Forget about Durandal.
After all, she's my best friend.
At least I tolerate her.
And you?
You were actually guilty of a crime at that time!
Although the incident has already passed, Rita still feels a little annoyed when she thinks about the fact that Tian Shi was Kiana's Guardian Angel.
"You want to arrest me? Then I will report you! We are all on the ship... Ahem, we are all in the same boat!"
"It seems that the cultural courses of the Holy Freya Academy still need to be strengthened."
Rita sighed slightly.
To be reported, although she was not afraid of such things, when she thought about it, there was really no need for her to get hurt along with a fool.
Even if I want to exchange one for one with someone else, it has to be someone of Hua's or Durandal's level, right?
"However, it's better not to go to the Sky Patrol, Lady Durandal is watching them closely. There is no need to worry about casualties.Lady Durandal will stop them before that happens."
In such public occasions, Rita still uses Durandal's name.
If Kiana goes up now, she will simply be beaten... but Bianka will definitely not hurt Kiana.
After all, from a certain perspective, they are simply grasshoppers on the same rope.
"Understood. Then I will go investigate the traces of the assassins."
Although Kiana was actually quite unhappy with Rita, as for her character... well, actually, her character was not that reliable.
It's just that what happened a few days ago, although Rita's sudden anger made her feel quite embarrassed, that scene actually made Kiana feel more confident: it turned out that the girl was not so hypocritical and indifferent.
So Kiana is more willing to believe Rita once.
"So, are all these changes in that girl due to the Master Tian you mentioned?"
Kiana asked after closing the communication.
"If everything goes as expected... Master Tian is a wonderful person. I am very inferior to him in terms of teaching and education."
Speaking of this, Hua in Fenghuang Down laughed at herself.
"If possible, I hope that Master Tian can take some time to teach you, classmate Kiana, some principles... At least, catch up on the lessons."
"Forget it. "
"When I think of the ghost or something following me... ah, I'm not saying anything bad about your professor, class monitor, I just can't get used to it just by thinking about it."
Kiana said while she hurried on her way.
"But if it's really useful... it's not unacceptable."
After all, Kiana's old stubbornness has been greatly polished.
"But I don't think Master Tian can have that time."
Hua didn't expect much from such a thing.
Among Tian Shi's current hosts, she, Aponia, and Durandal are probably the only three people who have a non-competitive character.
Well... if Durandal went back five years ago, maybe she would still have the idea of "fighting".
Now... I don't know if she has become more boring or more mature, but at least for now, she can't say what Bianka is thinking.
"Well... he's very busy."
Kiana complained indifferently.
"The level of civilization is very high and it is not inferior to that of the pre-civilization period."
MEI was walking through Sky City wearing a white coat; although this outfit was a little conspicuous, it did not attract too much attention.
"And compared to the previous civilization, the control of the Honkai in this era is also very good..."
MEI has not yet detected any panic related to the Honkai on people's faces.
The first two Honkai collapses of the old civilization were relatively good, but the third one directly affected most of East Asia, and after that there were operations that burned an entire continent and even sank the earth.
This situation is basically difficult to hide.
The scene in front of her made her feel the long-lost peace.
(Could it be that the Honkai has not yet fully erupted in this era?)
MEI, who lacked information, guessed unconsciously.
"Mei!"
Just as MEI was about to continue collecting information, an excited cry suddenly came from behind.
"?"
The pronunciation of "Mei" is the same as that of MEI, so MEI turned her head unconsciously.
(Is it an acquaintance?)
Apart from the people she organized, MEI actually didn't know how many people chose to move forward when the previous civilization came to an end: each hero chose his own path, and even MEI could not comment on their choices.
After all, her goal had already failed, and there was no reason for them to continue supporting each other.
It would not be surprising if some decided to take their own lives in silence.
However, when MEI turned around, she discovered that the person who was calling her was not an acquaintance, but a... white-haired girl she had never seen before?
"Mei!"
The other party came running excitedly.
"Bang!"
"Why are you hiding?"
Kiana fell to the ground with an expression of confusion and grievance on her face.
"It's me! Kiana!"
"Um..."
MEI thought the other party might have recognized the wrong person.
"Although I don't know what the situation is, I'm sorry, Miss Kiana, I already have a lover(Probably) "
