Chapter 643 The Herrscher Who Can Never Die From Exhaustion

"My Lord, this is the document to be processed today, please take a look."

"Hey——"

With a tired sigh, Mei watched the Jackal put the half-meter-high paper document on the table to her right. At the same time, the three-dimensional screen in front of her flashed rapidly, and countless files were transferred to the terminal - whether it was processed by pen or electronic equipment, it was up to her to choose.

But it was obvious that Mei did not have the time.

Did Mikael do this before? She asked the Jackal and the Gray Snake, and the answer she got was that both Mebius and Mikael asked them to sort out the important matters, and the rest could be submitted with the processing methods attached.

She didn't know if this was the case. Perhaps the people of the World Snake saw that she, the new Lord, was easy to bully, and wanted to gain more power... But it didn't matter, she didn't care about it. So, the matter was finalized in a natural way.

"The rest of us have already attached our proposals according to the old rules, but there are two matters of great importance that need to be handled by you personally."

The Jackal walked to the opposite side of Mei's desk and controlled from behind to click on the first content on the stereoscopic screen.

"First... To be honest, this is not difficult to handle, but it involves the bishop of destiny, and you must reply in person."

The Jackal shrugged, and when Mei clicked on the link in the appendix and saw the email signed by [Otto Apokalis], the corners of her mouth twitched.

She couldn't help but fall back, helpless and speechless, slumped on the back of the chair.

"How many times has this happened? It's been almost half a year, and they have to ask once a month, this is really..."

Faced with Mei's questioning, the Jackal just continued to shrug - anyway, the Master's dissatisfaction was directed at Otto, and with her temperament, she might even hope that the two would fight face to face, although she thought that this was completely impossible, because Otto was just a [waste who could only hide behind the Valkyrie].

The content of the email was not complicated, but rather simple. It could even be said that it was the heart of Otto Apokalis, and everyone knew it. It was just a [begging] for her, the Lord of the World Serpent who could enter and exit the Paradise of the Past, to awaken the once strongest Valkyrie Kallen Kaslana who was now sleeping in the Paradise and bring her back to the Paradise.

"This is a no-cost business for the Archbishop of the Paradise. He only needs to write an email, and it is even possible that Amber wrote it for him. He certainly knows that we cannot agree, but this does not cost him anything. Hasn't he always been such a disgusting and shameless man?"

Mei ignored the Jackal's sharp comments, but directly replied with one word in the email - [Wishful thinking].

Kallen naturally returned to reality and returned to the Paradise, but this time could not be now.

At least, whether it was Otto's cousin Eleanor, Dr. Mei, or Theresa, or even Kallen Kaslana herself who heard about his deeds in the Paradise, they did not think that this should be done.

After all, for this bishop who has lived for 500 years and has a long history of bad deeds, even if he opened his arms and announced to the world that he had turned over a new leaf and would join the ranks of saving the world, everyone still lacked the most basic trust in him, so Kallen became a [hostage] invisibly.

This is of course not accurate, because Kallen herself did so voluntarily. In her words:

"Sinners always have to bear shackles to gain a new life. I don't know how to face him now, so... let me become the shackles that bind him before everything is over."

"What about the next one?"

After replying, Mei quickly deleted Otto's email, fearing that she would explode if she looked at it again.

"The next one... That is indeed a problem that needs to be taken seriously."

Mei raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Although the Jackal was still wearing the mask, her tone did become serious, which was quite rare in Mei's impression. After all, even though Mei has always thought that this woman's ability is just so-so, she is like Otto, always likes to put on a relaxed attitude.

The things that can make her use a serious tone when narrating must be quite difficult.

Mei clicked on the second-ranked file and browsed it at the fastest speed. After scanning the last word, she read it again in reverse.

Then, her face darkened as expected.

"The masses who believe in Honkai God? They regard the stigmata as a symbol of God's favor, and regard the holders of the stigmata as holy sons and saints with noble souls? And this sentence in the doctrine - [When the flood of the end of the world comes again, only those with noble souls can enter the ark in the dream and seek eternity]... Why is it so abstract?"

"What did you think of?"

"No doubt, this is the style of that person, right?"

"Ha, yes, we think so too. Apart from the former Lord, only Otto can make up such a bunch of things without blushing or beating his heart."

The Jackal spread his hands, and Meiyi had an expression like an old man on the subway.

Both of them were silent for a while, and then the Jackal continued to introduce the situation:

"We just happened to take away one of the opponent's strongholds. I took it upon myself to ask Tianming, Anti-Entropy and Shenzhou. During this time, not only us, but they also happened to encounter similar situations, that is, He said that this sect—a cult to be precise—should be a global organization that has had a total of five locations destroyed and arrested. There are more than seventy believers, among whom there are thirteen stigma holders. The reason why the proportion is so high is because when the stronghold is discovered, these stigma holders without exception choose to stay and give it to others. The believers retreated to buy time... Tsk, I really feel like a saint or a saint, but it also shows that this kind of teaching is extremely attractive to the holders of the stigmata."

"When was the earliest contact?"

Mei Yi lowered her head and asked while turning her pen.

"17 days ago. But I don't think it's interesting to explore this - when you see a cockroach in your home, it usually means you already have a nest in your home. Obviously, a global sect takes a long time To develop, the construction and maintenance of strongholds also require a large amount of funds and manpower, which is obviously not something that can be accomplished in a short time. Those real believers were tough enough to face the interrogation. We got almost no effective information, but judging from the current situation, the development of this sect should be quite rapid-even among those who were arrested. Most of the [Holy Sons and Saints] have only been in contact with this sect for a short time, and it is obvious that they are in the stage of brutal expansion.”

"Barbaric expansion...at this time..."

"Those new believers mainly joined the religion within the past six months."

Seeing that Mei was deep in thought, Jackal gave some tips.

And Mei Yi lived up to expectations and quickly understood her subtext - "You mean..."

"Yes, most of them have lost relatives in the [Tower of Babel] incident, or have experienced that incident as [witnesses] - this is of course nonsense, based on the Tower of Babel incident Everyone in the entire Old Continent is qualified to claim to have experienced the height and the shocking feeling of the earth shaking.”

"No...are they crazy? Although out of consideration of not damaging the morale of the people, Destiny, Anti-Entropy, Shenzhou and we concealed part of the truth about the Tower of Babel incident during publicity, it was just a change from the original story of the Tower of Babel incident. The disaster caused by the Ten Herrschers is attributed to the Eleventh Herrscher. They... they should obviously know that Honkai is the culprit that caused all this..."

"You're right, but isn't that what humans are like - violence brings harm, which in turn brings fear and rejection, but if this fear reaches the extreme, the rejection may turn into companions. What's more, The teachings of this sect also give these people a way out, don’t they? , becoming a holder of the stigmata can enter the [Dream Ark] before the divine punishment of collapse comes, and thus gain eternity. It sounds wonderful, but most people actually don't know that the stigmata is an item. Genetic engineering, ninety-nine percent of stigma holders carry the stigmata from birth."

Meiyi put her elbows on the table, put her fists against her lips, and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and shouted softly:

"wrong!"

"What?"

"The core of their teachings is not the collapse, but the stigmata."

"Oh, that's true, but so what?"

"Seriously...Jackal, don't you think the things they said are...very...suspicious?"

"Hmm."

Jackal chuckled twice, as if Mei Yi had just realized that this incident made her a little proud. But Meiyi didn't care about this, and continued to say solemnly:

"Stigmata... Stigmata...could that passage describe the Stigmata project in an abstract way?"

Mei Yi suddenly raised her head and stared at Jackal with narrowed eyes.

"Hmm? What do you think you're looking at me for?"

"Shouldn't this plan be one of the four plans left over from the previous civilization that World Snake is responsible for implementing? And I remember that this plan is mainly responsible for Mebius, and you are the assistant she is looking for to complete this plan."

"So what do you think I should know?"

Jackal waved his hand and said:

"Sauri, I really don't know anything. You should also know Dr. Mebius's work style. She is the kind of person who does all the important parts personally, and then puts a lot of tedious work into it 24 hours a day. The type who leaves endless chores to her assistant. At the beginning, I even took the time to submit two revision plans for the Stigma Project to her, but she Without even looking at it, probably from that time on, she and the former Lord had already had an idea of ​​how the Stigma Plan would be implemented. Or what I should call the [Herrscher of the End] has decided to leave the World Snake behind and carry out this plan alone."

"That guy... kept saying that this world was meaningless and that it should be destroyed, but after going around for a long time, he actually decided to implement the Stigmata Plan?"

Mei Yi's eyes were a little complicated. Of course she understood what the Stigma Plan meant. Even if that plan... no matter how the form was changed, it could not change the extremely cruel nature. But in the end, even the worst plan was to save the world. The worst plan of all.

But Jackal quickly poured cold water on him:

"Don't be so optimistic. You should know the former Lord better than me. No one can figure out what he really thinks. Maybe he is too complicated, or maybe he is too simple, but you have to admit that he always behaves in a way that is beyond everyone's expectations. I am afraid that even the bastard Otto has to admit defeat. After all, what that guy did can only be speculated in the most shameless and disgusting direction."

Mei pursed her lips and ignored the crazy words of the Jackal.

At the beginning, she would definitely reply "How much do you hate Otto?", but after hearing this kind of words many times, she got used to it. Even if the Jackal didn't mention Otto at the end of every paragraph, she would feel uncomfortable.

"In short, if you want to know what the doctrine these people are talking about, you have to ask Mebius in person, right?"

"That's natural, but... you're the only one who's so calm when talking about facing Dr. Mebius, right?"

The corners of Meiyi's mouth couldn't help but curl up a little, but soon flattened, as if it was an illusion.

"That's it, I'll still go back to the paradise tonight, and then I'll ask Mebius for clarification."

"Don't hold too much hope. Although you are special in Dr. Mebius' heart, you can never defeat the former Lord."

The jackal couldn't wait to pour another basin of cold water, but Meiyi fell into some kind of contemplation and stopped talking.

…………

Walking in the dark and damp tunnel, Meiyi was a little dazed.

The scene when Mikael brought her here for the first time was still vivid, but before I knew it, a year had passed.

One year occupied one twentieth of Meiyi's total life mileage.

This is not a long time. Considering that the Herrscher has an infinite lifespan, this proportion will become smaller and smaller until it is a drop in the ocean.

However, it seems that I have unconsciously regarded the Paradise of the Past as a place with special significance.

How should I put it...

It is not like Saint Freya, a [home] where Meiyi can let go of all the burdens and relax. Here, she needs to fight continuously to become stronger and to gain more memories. The attitude of the heroes to her is not entirely friendly. At least Qianjie always seems very impatient. If Kosmo had not had Desdobia to translate, Meiyi would have thought that he was going to fight with her with his lips tightly pursed and eyes staring.

But in the paradise, she can indeed rest. It is difficult to describe it specifically. In short, every time after a tiring exploration, sitting on the sofa in the lobby of the Golden Courtyard and listening to Eden's records, there will be a kind of warmth that is addictive.

The song seemed to bring her back to that glorious era, and she did witness the glory and fall of that era completely.

She is a witness to everything in the paradise of the past and everything in the past. She is not the only one, because every senior cadre of the World Serpent is qualified to enter the paradise for training, but the purpose of those people coming here is to become stronger, and she...

Her original purpose was also to become stronger, and even to find a way to defeat Mikael from past memories. But now, she just wants to solve the last mystery in her heart. Since she has become a witness, she must record everything with her own eyes. Even if the ending of the story is a tragedy, she will never close her eyes.

Because in the silent time, she seems to...have regarded the heroes as family.

Even Qianjie, who has the most bad temper, she knows every bit of him and knows what is buried under his bad temper...

Isn't it family? If Mikael is regarded as an adoptive father and Mebius is regarded as a mother, she has been the youngest member of this family from the beginning.

Yes, the Golden Courtyard, this is also her home, but it is a home that is only buried in the past. It was hard to relax here, and it was hard to get a chance to rest, but... she gradually didn't want to leave here.

Pushing open the cold and heavy stone door, accompanied by the inky black and the twinkling light, Mei opened her eyes in the familiar dizziness, and her body was already standing in front of the huge star gate in the middle of the courtyard.

Having said that... when she saw this star gate that seemed to rotate slowly even if the sky collapsed and the ground cracked, Mei still felt a dull pain in the area above her stomach.

In the six months since the end of the Tower of Babel incident, she handled complicated affairs as the Lord of the World Serpent during the day. Once she finished, she would immediately come to the paradise to continue exploring. In order to save time, she had not slept since the night she met Mikael in the ruins of the Tower of Babel, and she would not eat if she could.

Speaking of which, she just sent a message to Kiana, telling her not to just focus on training, to eat and sleep on time, to learn from her sister, and to maintain a good work and rest schedule. Even a Herrscher needs rest to ensure combat effectiveness...

Well... now she has used herself as an example to prove that a Herrscher really doesn't need to rest.

At the beginning, she would feel dazed because of not sleeping for a long time, and the hormone secretion of her flesh and blood body could not be adjusted for a while. The heavy dark circles under her eyes almost made her turn into a panda... But after her body got used to it, these side effects no longer existed.

Moreover, it was only half a year, compared to someone, it was nothing.

When she looked around the seemingly empty hall, she saw the corresponding figure on the sofa in the lounge area.

"Huh?"

The light made the silver-gray shoulder-length hair look like a lazy dusk, and then Mikael waved to Mei:

"Long time no see, come and sit down?"
