Chapter 95: Tesla: One Silver Bracelet for Each
Siegfried knew where Wendy's thoughts had gone as soon as he saw her expression.
Because Schicksal had already sentenced Wendy to death. She and the gem had become one. Taking it out would mean Wendy's death.
Although that was indeed the case, wasn't that without Noldrei's intervention?
"You misunderstood. We don't intend to kill you. We did get permission from Overseer Otto Apocalypse of Schicksal to specifically take you away for treatment."
"Otherwise, why do you think no one has come to stop us for so long?"
Siegfried tried to explain his actions, but the shock brought by the big head was too great, making it difficult for Wendy to believe what Siegfried was saying.
How could a normal person have a big head following them?
"I just...!"
With a "thud," Wendy's words were all blocked.
Her head drooped weakly, and she quickly fell into a coma.
The big head had delivered a coma-inducing blow to her head.
"This woman is too boring. Let's just take her away."
Sirin didn't really like seeing this kind of scene. Wendy's current state was too similar to those people in the Babylon Laboratory.
"It's not boring. You're just seeing your own shadow in her."
Siegfried knew that Sirin's choice at this time was correct. Now that they had met Wendy, whether she wanted to leave or not was no longer her choice.
He knew very well that in Wendy's heart, he was actually the same as those who had implanted the gem in her.
This girl probably hadn't made many choices for herself in her life.
Just like when she became a Valkyrie, it was estimated that the people who had selected her hadn't even informed her of the dangers she would face in her work.
Even the miners who went down the mines would have the safety hazards they would encounter written in their contracts. On the other hand, the Valkyries, who needed to be so bold, careful, and highly educated, weren't even given a normal procedure.
'But that's also true. If there were normal procedures, probably not so many little girls would be tricked into it.'
Siegfried sighed helplessly.
He tucked Wendy under his arm and left the Oceania Branch with Sirin.
The sky was clear and bright, and the birds were flying freely.
Every ordinary person was living their lives peacefully, persevering in that painful, poor, and boring work life.
Those who knew knew that they were far away from a major Honkai outbreak that could have happened. Those who didn't know didn't know that a terrifying time bomb had been taken away from here.
Since it had already come to this, a Valkyrie who could blacken and become a Honkai Herrscher at any moment, a high-risk person who could bring a major Honkai outbreak at any time.
Then why would they still keep Wendy in the Oceania Branch where there were so many people?
Maybe Otto also knew very well in his heart, didn't he?
"Cocolia, where did you find all these people?"
Tesla's eye swept over these young boys and girls, especially those who had been pulled in to make up the numbers.
She gasped. Those strange virus aggregates seemed to be reminding her of these girls' unusual pasts.
The boys were still somewhat okay, but most of these girls were definitely not normal.
If something "happened" between them, she definitely wouldn't have the heart to watch.
Dr. Tesla had also seen the world.
She was speechless at these virus girls. She didn't know if these girls could even walk into a school normally.
'Forget it. Anyway, they're just for Noldrei's living Stigmata experiments. Whether they have the ability or not doesn't matter. In the end, the capable people will naturally remain.'
"These people are just to meet the quota. As long as they can be used, that's enough." Cocolia was also quite indifferent. She had a new view of the Far East.
Cocolia had never expected that the people in the Far East would actually find enough subjects in such a short period of time. This had made her very happy.
This efficiency was much faster than her own method of running an orphanage and investing emotions in raising them one by one.
"You've already seen the samples of the living Stigmata. Given that Fu Hua herself is a very qualified Valkyrie, we need some ordinary people to test whether this Stigmata can be used in sync. If it can't, what needs to be improved?"
"I've already mastered the process of creating this living creature. The rest is to select those with innate Stigmata constitutions to be used as raw materials."
Cocolia found that Dr. Tesla still had the cold mentality that a researcher should have when she was doing experiments.
At least she wouldn't have any "humanitarian" tendencies at this time.
Perhaps sensing Cocolia's surprised attitude, Tesla sighed and looked at her, saying, "Don't look at me like that. It's not like I want to do this. You have to consider that Noldrei won't just casually conduct Herrscher modification experiments. You should also be glad that he didn't hand over the other gem. All I can do is to make these people... let them survive as much as possible."
"But I think that they probably won't be in any danger. After all, with Noldrei's level of treatment, they can survive even if they only have a head left."
What Tesla said was the truth. Hadn't the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin, successfully survived?
It could only be said that Noldrei's medical technology was the best in the world right now.
The two of them were separated by a one-way glass. In their eyes, most of the people below didn't have the qualifications.
It was just that there were also some smart people and some wealthy and powerful people who had cut in line.
It might be hard to believe, but there were really wealthy and powerful people who had cut in line.
They seemed to think that many elites in biotechnology were gathered here and that the academy city jointly created by Schicksal and Anti-Entropy was a new type of technology incubator for fighting against the Honkai.
Although that was indeed the case, the person behind the scenes had nothing to do with Schicksal and Anti-Entropy.
Instead, Schicksal and Anti-Entropy were just here to invest and take advantage.
Most of them wanted to get some "new things" from Noldrei.
Tesla didn't need to look at the list. She could easily use her ability to locate the people with diseases and put metal tags on them.
These tags would lead these people to the next place to receive corresponding treatment.
And this part of the work was handed over to Noldrei.
Unfortunately...
Hachiman Hikigaya looked at the metal bracelet that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The bracelet was firmly fastened on his wrist.
He stared blankly at this scene that was like a superpower.
The boy couldn't understand why some people had bracelets and some didn't.
'Did they observe us on the way? Was there something unusual that was noticed?'
'Or is there something wrong?'
Tesla's tentacles didn't hesitate to take some stem cells from Fu Hua's spinal cord and infiltrate various key points in her body.
The other end, through Tesla, gradually solidified a strange fleshy sphere in front of Tesla.
The sphere landed in front of Tesla. Soon, blood vessels that looked like a gelatinous substance grew out of the sphere. The blood vessels began to spread and change wildly.
Around these blood vessels, things that looked like bones began to appear, followed by a thin layer of the germ layer and muscle tissue.
In Tesla's eyes, these DNAs seemed to come alive, attracted to the positions where they should be by a mysterious force.
She quickly recorded these changes in her brain and even converted this information into digital electrical signals and imprinted them on the memory of that eyeball.
'What amazing changes... It's like constantly accelerating the maturation of an embryo. In the center of the living creature, there's also a limb that's specifically rooted in the spinal cord. Is it specifically for infiltrating the human body?'
'Is this the thing that's inside my body?'
An indescribable excitement filled Tesla's heart.
Her face flushed, and she entered a special state of excitement.
Noldrei had opened up an unprecedented scientific direction for her, making her burning research spirit feel increasingly irresistible. (again)
