Chapter 82: Tesla: Why Are There Still People Coming to Offer Their Heads?
Fu Hua still didn't know Otto's plans, but Schicksal had indeed contacted Cocolia's people and established the same propaganda line.
She looked around Nagazora City.
In this land, Nagazora City was undergoing an extraordinary construction speed.
With Anti-Entropy mechs participating in the construction, the restoration work here completely surpassed the civil engineering done by half the workers.
This made Fu Hua a little worried about how those civil engineering graduates would make a living in the future.
The city's reconstruction wasn't something that Noldrei could just say a few words about. It also required Cocolia and Raiden Ryoma to coordinate and plan.
For this, they even planned to build a very strong earthquake-resistant underground city. If possible, they could even temporarily borrow some treasures from the secret realms of the previous civilization.
As everyone knew, the technological progress of humans in this era mainly relied on archaeology.
Just like the plot of a third-rate online novel, if you couldn't find new cheats and enemies, then you needed to increase the temporal depth of the overall environment to arrange for the abilities of new characters.
Unfortunately, Fu Hua wasn't much of a novel reader.
She had also been friends with Tesla and the others from Anti-Entropy for a while.
After passing through the long construction site, Fu Hua saw the mission target she really needed to face—Kiana Kaslana.
Also known as K423.
They were out shopping and having fun, not at all concerned about the Honkai or anything else.
Fu Hua looked at the three girls from afar. After thinking about it, she ultimately decided not to disturb their normal lives.
She turned in another direction, intending to find that... future person.
However, things were completely different from what she had expected.
The meeting that Fu Hua had imagined should have been like Otto's, full of calculations, seriousness, and backstabbing.
But...
A red-haired woman was thrown out of a second-floor window by a tentacle.
She covered her head and muttered, "Damn it, you stinky mud! I'll make you pay!"
After saying that, the woman took off and flew back into the window.
Then...
She was thrown out again, flying straight towards Fu Hua.
'Is this an attack?!'
Fu Hua's heart tightened, and she immediately adopted a defensive stance.
But the red-haired woman didn't hit her. Instead, she suddenly stopped in mid-air as if she had slammed on the brakes.
It was just that the electricity was a bit wild, directly blowing up all the hair on Fu Hua's head.
So this was the magnetic levitation version of Tesla? She was really amazing.
"Uh, that..."
Fu Hua wanted to greet her, but who knew that the tentacle seemed to have become impatient with Tesla and directly started to attack.
Tesla created a super-strong electric field to protect herself.
The hair on Fu Hua's head didn't get a break, swaying back and forth with the movement of the electric field.
"You just wait—!"
Tesla let out a final wail. The tentacle, covered in a layer of inorganic matter that Fu Hua couldn't understand, recklessly pierced through her electric field and directly into Tesla's chest.
Fu Hua watched this scene in shock. She stared blankly as Dr. Tesla was "killed" in front of her.
She looked like she had seen a ghost.
Why? Why did she have to witness the sacrifice of a friend who fought against the Honkai with her, just by coming out to do a simple liaison and coordination job?
Just as Fu Hua was shocked, she heard a strange, seductive sound.
Tesla shuddered and immediately knelt on the ground, unable to get up. Her face was flushed abnormally, and her legs were weak as she sat on the ground like a duck.
Noldrei's head, connected to his neck, stretched out from the second-floor window. The neck stretched from one meter to two meters, three meters, and then tens of meters.
"I told you a long time ago that you should find a way to strengthen your body's resistance. You can't even control your own sexual repression, and you're still whining in front of me, telling me to change my city construction ideas. I remember that you primitives don't need to fight me to have a conversation."
"That's... that's not true..." Tesla was still trembling. It seemed that she had indeed been given a wave of pleasure just now.
She endured the sticky discomfort on her body and stubbornly retorted, "You don't understand. We Americans have always liked to fight on the conference table!"
Noldrei had come to understand what helplessness was.
This was the second existence he had created that could change its own DNA. Noldrei really couldn't bear to be too harsh on Dr. Tesla.
The eye on Tesla's forehead lit up, and the piercing wound on her body quickly recovered as if it had never been there.
Fu Hua was shocked. If she remembered correctly, only the Herrscher of Death had the ability to restore her body.
What was going on? Weren't you the Herrscher of Thunder? Why were you so powerful?
"Hmm... I'm a little hungry..."
Tesla's situation was a bit different. Each time she recovered from an injury, she needed to replenish enough external proteins, and she also needed some other trace elements to cooperate.
Tesla was indeed one of the most powerful researchers in the world right now. She quickly understood and successfully controlled most of the DNA information in her body.
To be honest, when she saw Tesla possess this kind of ability, Fu Hua's first reaction wasn't happiness. Instead, she instinctively felt a strange killing intent towards this Honkai Herrscher.
The abilities of a Herrscher who had been trained seemed to be a bit too strong, and the range of her abilities seemed to have become even more bizarre.
"Huh? You're...?"
It was only at this time that Tesla noticed Fu Hua's arrival.
She remembered that this person seemed to be...
"You're still alive?"
"......"
Fu Hua was shocked by Tesla's ability to chat. She nodded blankly and said, "I'm fine. I just lost some memories."
"Ah? This..." Tesla really didn't know that Fu Hua had lost her memories.
"I'm here to see Noldrei. I'm here to find a job with him temporarily."
Tesla was completely confused by what Fu Hua said.
'What? Find a job with this pervert?'
Dr. Tesla became depressed. Why were there still people coming to offer their heads?
Even when she used her eyes to observe Noldrei, she only saw the chaotic and constantly changing particle structures in Noldrei's body.
But she knew that in physics, particles weren't really particles. Instead, they were the forms that matter showed when it moved. From the mass-energy equivalence E=mc², matter could exist in the form of waves.
Tesla still didn't know what kind of being Noldrei was, and why he would want to show himself in this world as an organic being.
It was because she relied on this eye that she was able to recognize that this future person might really be a future person. But this eye was also given to her by the other party. It was possible that he had used tricks to make it look real.
Tesla didn't understand Fu Hua's arrival, because she had long known that the other party was a Valkyrie from Schicksal.
'Does Overseer Otto of Schicksal have his own plans?'
Fu Hua looked at Tesla, who had fallen into thought, and at the holes in her clothes. She kindly reminded her, "Should you consider changing your clothes first?"
"No need..." Tesla's body flashed with electricity, and she immediately changed into a new outfit like a magical girl.
The benefit of being a Herrscher was that you would get a set of clothes that would never get dirty for free.
