Good News and Bad News Three in One

The time came to half past nine in the morning.

Changkong City Central Hospital, 9th Floor, Inpatient Department, Ward 907-909.

“Mom, you should recuperate here and wait for me to come back.”

Mei, who had already taken a long vacation at Qianyu Academy and wasn’t even planning to take the final exam this semester, was saying goodbye to his mother by the hospital bed by the window.

This afternoon, she will take a passenger plane to Mu mainland to attend this year’s academic seminar there.

It can only be said that after all, he is a recognized top student in the school… No, the god of learning, MEI asked for leave, and it went smoothly and smoothly.

No, even if she doesn’t take the final exam, she still has full credits.

After all, the gold content of the Mu Continental Seminar is just that great.

Even just being able to participate in it is already a great honor.

Thinking about it, the school of Qianyu Academy will definitely spread this news vigorously in the past few days.

As for MEI herself…

“How much money can I get in exchange for my research papers, conjectures, and experimental results?”

As a daughter, she was thinking about this.

Money, this is also the core purpose of her trip to Mu mainland.

at the moment……

“Go at ease, MEI, don’t pay too much attention to my affairs.”

Mei’s mother seemed to see something, but she also knew what kind of personality her daughter had, so she didn’t speak out to persuade her.

He just squeezed out a smile on his increasingly haggard face, and said slowly: “Remember, think more about yourself… think more about your future.”

Listen to what she said…

“I will, Mom.”

MEI replied duplicity.

Outside the ward…

“…”

RYOMA looked at his wife and daughter from afar with a gloomy expression.

These days, his mental state is not good.

There will always be some ‘auditory hallucinations’.

He felt that he might be too tired recently.

It’s time to take a good rest.

But the status quo does not allow him to do so.

The wife’s illness can no longer be delayed.

It is necessary to raise enough consultation funds as soon as possible.

At this moment……

“Father, I’ll leave it to you here.”

RYOMA just lowered his head and rubbed the center of his brows, then looked up, and saw that MEI had finished talking and came to him.

“Well, you don’t have to worry about things here.”

RYOMA tried his best to keep his tone calm, “It is very precious to be invited to participate in the Mu mainland academic seminar, remember to behave well.”

“Know.”

MEI looked serious, “Then I’ll leave first, go back and pack my luggage, and catch the afternoon flight.”

“it is good.”

RYOMA nodded, “Be careful on the road.”

After a brief conversation, Mei looked back at her mother in the ward.

Seeing the faint sunlight by her window, she smiled and waved to herself, Mei forced a smile, turned and left.

When she left, the girl didn’t notice…

There are already some purple lines on my mother’s neck, emerged.

****

at the same time……

“You guys are finally here, but you kept me waiting for a long time.”

Mebius showed surprise on his face, and quickly walked towards Keqing and Barbara, the two original god clones, “Welcome.”

This is inside a well-known private dental hospital located in Beicheng District, Changkong City.

At this moment, Mebius was still wearing the white coat that seemed to have been worn for thousands of years. She pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose, and after greeting each other with Keqing’s avatar, she shifted her attention to Barbara. Doppelgänger.

“It’s the first time I met you. It’s a pleasure meeting you. That…”

“Hello, my name is Barbara.”

“Well, thank you very much for accepting my invitation, Miss Barbara.”

“I am also very grateful for your help to my willful request.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay, friends help each other.”

Mebius turned his head and looked to the side again, “Where’s that little ‘Zaoyou’ girl?”

“She doesn’t plan to come.”

Keqing’s avatar shrugged, “For Zaoyou, participating in academic seminars is something that has no interest at all.”

“According to what she said: that would delay her growing taller (sleeping) time.”

Listen to what she said…

“Oh, that’s it.”

Mebius smiled, “She’s a pretty little girl.”

At this point, she turned her attention back to Barbara again, “Come on, come in and sit down.”

She pointed to the reception room behind her, “At two o’clock this afternoon, there will be a special plane to take us to Mu Dalu.”

“Before that, you can take a break here and have lunch.”

Mebius looked at Barbara, “To be honest, I am very interested in Miss Barbara’s ‘music’.”

“After all, for an art idiot like me, there are really not many songs that I can listen to patiently.”

“Let’s just say…”

While entertaining Keqing and Barbara’s avatars to enter the reception room and take a seat, she asked curiously: “The song that I had never heard of yesterday saved the lives of many seriously injured and dying people.”

“I really want to know, how did this happen?”

Mebius glanced back and forth between Keqing’s clone and Barbara’s clone, “Of course, if it’s inconvenient, just pretend I didn’t ask.”

There is no doubt that Mebius at this moment has unreservedly shown his thirst for knowledge.

But she has not lost her mind after all, and knows that there are limits to advancing and retreating.

so……

“Is this an additional ‘information transaction’?”

Ke Qing’s avatar took over the conversation and said, “You should be very clear, I like to separate and calculate things one by one, so…”

“Dr. Mebius, if you want to know some information about what happened yesterday, you have to satisfy my curiosity first.”

I heard…

“Oh?”

Mebius became interested, “I don’t know, what does Miss Keqing want to ask?”

“It’s very simple.”

Keqing’s avatar said bluntly: “First of all, it is… the attitude of the high-level executives of the fire moth.”

She tilted her head and glanced at Barbara’s avatar sitting next to her, and then continued to say to Mebius: “You and I know very well that during this year’s academic seminar officially held in the Mu mainland, there will definitely be Many people approached me and Barbara with various purposes, and they might even send someone to attack us like that idiot… that congressman before.”

“And considering the possibility of such a bad situation happening, I think that before setting off, we should confirm who is the enemy and who is the friend.”

“These will be determined by the attitude of the higher-ups of the Flame Chasing Moth.”

As always, Keqing’s avatar spoke very straightforwardly.

Therefore, on Mebius’ side, she, who had interacted with Keqing’s avatar many times before, didn’t find it too surprising.

At the moment…

“Before answering the question you raised, Miss Keqing, I have to explain some things that are closely related to it.”

Mebius said helplessly: “The topic is a bit long.”

“It just so happens that we have plenty of time today.”

Keqing’s avatar answered: “According to the information you told me before, there are still several hours before the departure time in the afternoon.”

At this point, Mebius already understood what she wanted to express.

“Okay, you two want to hear it, that would be great.”

Mebius took out a small electronic device from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table between the three seats in the room.

The next moment, a virtual projection appeared.

What is shown inside is the tragic situation of people lying on the hospital bed, dying.

There are many photos.

The facilities where the patients are located and their physical signs are different.

But weird purple lines appeared on their bodies.

Mebius looked at Keqing’s avatar, “Miss Keqing, in the materials I traded to you before, I have already mentioned the ‘Honkai disease’.”

“Well, I have seen it.”

Keqing’s clone nodded, “You continue.”

“OK.”

Mebius continued to explain, “Since Miss Keqing has read those materials, she should know that so far, ‘Honkai disease’ is still a terminal disease that cannot be cured at all.”

“In the face of it, even the moths that chase the flame…even the United Nations behind it are helpless.”

“so……”

“etc.”

Keqing’s avatar looked serious, “YouDoes that mean that at this stage, there is no way to cure the ‘Honkai disease’ at all within the Moth of the Fire Chaser? ”

“Not one of them?”

“No.”

Mebius shook his head, “In this regard, I can tell you with certainty…no.”

“Because, if there is, then as the top person in charge of the First Research Institute, it is impossible for me not to know.”

In this regard, Mebius is very confident.

You know, this is completely different from the previous “plan to capture the masked boy”.

After all, the so-called arrest operation belongs to the category of ‘field service’.

The current Mebius is not yet a pseudo-lolita fusion fighter in the future, and cannot personally participate in actual combat, so the high-level council will naturally not tell her that she is useless.

But the research on the ‘Honkai Disease’ is a scientific research project.

In this regard, the current Mebius is the absolute authority.

Because, the only scholar who can overwhelm her in the future, that is, MEI, has not yet joined Flaming Moth.

but……

“Why did she ask such a question on purpose?”

Mebius was very puzzled by Keqing’s avatar’s words.

But at this time, Keqing’s avatar did not intend to continue the topic.

Because, she already got the information she (Lu Qiyan) wanted.

Namely: At this stage, Dr. Spaci has not yet been able to research the cure plan of “extracting a serum from the corpses of at least a thousand Honkai patients”.

So……

“The current ‘Honkai disease’ is a symbol of ‘extreme death’.”

Its risk factor has been greatly increased.

Because, the current hope of healing doesn’t even have ‘1’.

A complete ‘0’.

After all, even those who can become top fusion fighters in the future cannot get transformed from the ‘Honkai disease’ now.

Because that is the legacy left by Dr. MEI to the civilized human beings 50,000 years ago.

Today’s pre-civilization has nothing.

Everything has to start from scratch…

“If we said that we couldn’t find any cure for the ‘Honkai disease’ before, then now, at least I have seen hope.”

“!”

On the side of Keqing’s avatar, what Mebius just said made Lu Qiyan, who was far away in Qianyu Academy, startled.

“What’s the meaning?”

Lu Qiyan, who was paying attention to everything behind the scenes, made Keqing’s avatar ask questions like this.

Then, with the help of the latter’s vision, he saw Mebius looking at his Barbara avatar.

Immediately afterwards…

“Thinking about it, the two of you probably don’t like to listen to those complicated academic reports, so I’ll just talk about the results.”

Mebius manipulated the electronic equipment on the coffee table and called up some other virtual projections.

In the screen at this time, it shows the scene of Keqing, Zaoyu, and Barbara’s avatars working together to fight against the Houkai Beast.

“The Houkai beasts that appeared in the Changkong City Zoo yesterday, although everyone killed them all at the first time, they still infected a full 329 people with the Houkai disease.”

Mebius explained: “Theoretically, according to the case data collected in the past, these people can’t live for more than a month.”

“Because the source of the disease in their body…that is, the Houkai energy that gradually erodes the body, cannot be eradicated.”

Of course Lu Qiyan knows how difficult it is to cure the ‘Honkai Disease’.

for example:

Cancer, one of the serious illnesses that plagued countless people in previous lives.

There are generally only a few ways to cure it, including resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy.

Among them, resection is the most widely used.

And under this premise, a malignant tumor…that is, an out-of-control cancer cell, it is a kind of substance after all.

But Honkai energy is a kind of energy.

As far as Lu Qiyan knows, even Dr. Spaci, who will develop the cure method of “Thousands of Guarantees” in the future, can only choose to completely remove the infected part of the patient.

And those who cannot withstand this kind of large-scale resection will undoubtedly die.

It can be seen from this…

“The Honkai energy cannot be eliminated by any existing scientific means of the fire moth.”

Mebius looked at Barbara, “But yesterday, you did what was previously considered ‘impossible’… Yes, just with that song.”

She called up a certain monitoring section.

It was the avatar of Barbara, bathed in the golden rain, singing quietly.

“This is undoubtedly a miracle.”

Mebius almost couldn’t hold back the excitement in his tone, “Those patients who were originally eroded by the Honkai energy and infected with the Honkai disease have all been cured by you.”

“You saved at least hundreds of families yesterday.”

“!”

After hearing these topics, Lu Qiyan, who was far away, felt extremely comfortable.

Perhaps, this is the sense of relief from letting go of the heavy burden in my heart.

Or maybe, there are other reasons as well.

In short, the Honkai disease, which I have always regarded as one of the biggest threats, can be cured by the song “Blessing” by Barbara’s avatar.

At this moment, no news could make him feel more at ease.

the other side……

“Actually, we are still unable to confirm whether you, Ms. Barbara, have the ability to save those who have been ‘deeply infected’ with the Houkai, but at least we can confirm that you do have the ability to eliminate the Houkai to a certain extent.”

“It’s also because of this…”

Mebius said sternly: “Yes, just like Miss Keqing, youAs I said before, there are already many people and forces who are eyeing you and list you as the primary target of attention. ”

“Among them, there are our flame-chasing moths.”

She looked at Barbara’s avatar, “Fortunately, you have demonstrated enough strength to deter most of the young people many times before.”

“Especially Miss Keqing, I believe so far, no one is so arrogant as to think that they can easily take you down.”

“Based on this…”

He shrugged, “As far as I know, Flamemoth has been divided into three factions.”

“The radicals are mainly congressmen from North America, Australia, Europe, India, and the Far East. They want to send people to arrest and detain you directly.”

“Because those people think that your threat is no less than the Herrscher…well, at least that’s what they said verbally during the video conference last night.”

“Heh~” Ke Qing’s clone sneered.

Arrest? imprisoned?

Not to mention how to catch it, even if it took 10,000 steps back, it really succeeded.

How?

The teleportation of the Herrscher of the Void still needs to use the imaginary space.

Ke Paimon…

Well, Lu Qiyan doesn’t even know how his abilities are composed.

What I have to say: The ‘absolute’ priority brought by the system?

at the moment……

“Where are the conservatives?”

Keqing’s avatar asked casually.

She won’t fully believe what Mebius said, but for now, she can use it as a reference.

“The conservatives, the members of Congress headed by Shenzhou, Ozhou, and Mu Dalu, proposed to establish a cooperative relationship with you, and even if possible… invite you to join Flaming Moth.”

Mebius shrugged, “There are very few parliamentarians in African countries, and they are all in a wait-and-see state, that is–centrists.”

“I think these news should help Ms. Keqing understand a little bit about who is the enemy and who is the friend.”

“As for Miss Barbara…”

Mebius smiled, “To be honest, from my personal point of view, I very much hope that you can join Flaming Moth.”

“After all, if you join, then a project within our organization that has consumed a lot of manpower and financial resources in recent years can be declared over in advance.”

Listen to what she said…

“Let’s just ask, what is the ‘project’ you mentioned?” Ke Qing’s avatar cut in and asked.

“It’s very simple.”

Mebius answered patiently, “In order to find a way to completely cure the Houkai disease, these years, the fire moths have been sending people to look for the kind of human individuals that are extremely resistant to the Houkai.”

“Miss Keqing, you have read the information I gave you, and you should know that the time limit for the onset of Houkai disease also varies to a certain extent between different human bodies.”

“Some people, just being corroded by Honkai energy, will die soon.”

“And some people can persist for dozens of days before they show obvious symptoms, that is, the extremely obvious purple lines that appear on the body surface, and the phenomenon of multiple organ failure.”

“So, at first we believed that there should be at least one difference between people, which caused the difference in giving time to onset statistics.”

“That may be an antibody that specifically targets the Houkai energy.”

“Although a person’s body is weak, it is very miraculous… Uh, ahem~”

Mebius, who almost didn’t manage his expressions well, cleared his throat, “In short, in order to further study this antibody, the fire moth will spend a lot of time looking for the corresponding candidates all over the world.”

“The best is the kind of person who will not be corroded into a dead man by a high concentration of Honkai even if he has been in close contact with Herrscher for a long time.”

****

at noon.

Qianyu Academy, on the roof of the teaching building.

Lu Qiyan’s lunch today is still the combination of ‘golden shrimp balls + rice balls’ prepared by Keqing’s avatar.

By the way, I wrapped two skewers of wild mushroom chicken skewers.

Well, I enjoyed it very much.

Especially after knowing that ‘Honkai disease can be cured’, and that the only cure at this stage happens to be in my hands, I feel even better.

Once I’m in a good mood, it’s like icing on the cake when I enjoy delicious food. The more I eat, the more delicious it becomes.

even……

“Wish い が, pray り が, hum~hum~hum~hum~”

He even hummed a song while eating.

Especially the last sentence, with rice ball stuffed in his mouth, humming while chewing, very vague.

Sudden……

“Teacher Lu?”

“!”

Lu Qiyan was taken aback.

He was so excited just now that he was about to dance tango on the rooftop with his lunch box.

Fortunately, no one died.

Just a little bit…

“Cough cough.”

At this moment, he gave a dry cough and looked in the direction of the sound source…

What appeared in the field of vision was a white-haired young man who had just walked out of the corridor door.

“Kevin?”

“Uh, it’s me.”

Kevin’s mood doesn’t seem to be good, and it’s completely two extremes with Lu Qiyan, who is almost making a fool of himself now.

He looked at the latter, “Teacher Lu often comes to eat on the rooftop?”

“yes.”

Lu Qiyan shrugged, “I was ‘reminded’ by a senior before: Don’t eat in the office, it will make it full of strange smell.”

“And I don’t like the overly noisy environment in the cafeteria, so… I just developed this habit.”

Maybe it’s because today’s mood is reallyThat’s right, Lu Qiyan spoke in a very casual tone.

In the process, he even imitated a certain senior who was ‘more lenient than self-discipline’, the way of speaking that was serious.

Kevin smiled.

Maybe it’s because good emotions can infect others, and his originally bad mood has also improved a little.

However, when I think of the recent troubles…

“Oh~”

Originally, he just wanted to come to the rooftop to blow some air, but the young man walked quietly to the edge.

Elbows propped up on the guardrail.

“Young man, there are a lot of good times waiting for you in the future, don’t sigh so much.”

Lu Qiyan walked to Kevin’s side, and said casually, “You know, frequent sighing can easily accelerate aging.”

“What kind of nonsense is this?”

Kevin said helplessly: “Besides, Teacher Lu, you don’t seem to be older than me.”

“Why do you have the tone of ‘someone from here’?”

Usually, Lu Qiyan, as a physical education teacher, is an image of an “easy-going big brother” in the eyes of outsiders, so when Kevin talks to him, he doesn’t seem too reserved.

Of course, the same goes for Lu Qiyan.

Before awakening the memory of his previous life, he didn’t know about Kevin’s ‘special’ status. When the two chatted, the atmosphere was indeed very casual.

These days, on the contrary, they are ‘alienated’ a lot.

However, because Kevin has been thinking about MEI in his heart recently, he didn’t notice this subtle change.

After all, they are not close friends.

at the moment……

“People’s changes don’t necessarily have to be linked to age.”

Lu Qiyan tilted his head and smiled, “Look at you, when you first came to Qianyu more than three months ago, compared with now, there have been great changes.”

“what?”

Kevin was stunned for a moment, “Is there any?”

“Of course there is.”

Lu Qiyan ate a mouthful of golden silk shrimp balls, “I’ve become a sweetheart.”

“Have you never been in a serious relationship before?”

“…”

“Ha, what a coincidence.”

Lu Qiyan withdrew his expression, “Me neither.”

Kevin didn’t know how to answer the conversation.

She froze for a while, and seemed to blush a little.

In the end, he scratched his head.

“I…then…is it so obvious?”

He murmured softly, “Why does it feel like the whole world knows about it?”

“If you were an owl less often when you were playing basketball in physical education class, it wouldn’t be so obvious.”

“You know, that shooting posture is really ugly.”

Lu Qiyan had already finished his lunch and covered the lunch box.

“Speaking of which, the final exam is coming soon, you…uh, forget it.”

He didn’t say anything about the ‘Third Honkai’, just like an ordinary teacher who can get along well with students, he said with a smirk: “Qianyu, who just transferred to the first semester, has to make up for it. This is also a unique ‘achievement’.”

“Congratulations.”

Hearing what he said, Kevin’s face turned bitter.

But at this moment…

“Uh, that, Teacher Lu…”

“Ok?”

Lu Qiyan was about to leave the rooftop, but he heard Kevin call him back and said, “This is not the first semester I transferred to Qianyu.”

“Actually, I transferred here in February this year, but I encountered some troubles at that time, so I only attended half a day of class…”

“etc.”

Lu Qiyan’s eyes widened, “You mean, you came to Qianyu Academy at the end of last semester?”

“Yes indeed.”

Kevin nodded, “During that time, I…”

Lu Qiyan was no longer in the mood to continue listening to the following words.

At this moment, all he knows is…

“Something has happened.”
