"Everything in the experiment is going very smoothly, and Wendy's condition is slowly improving."
At Saint Freya, in the laboratory.
Himeko looked at the man in a white coat bustling around and said, "Your previous suggestion to have Wendy teach the students was correct; her mood really is the key to the success of the experiment."
Chen Ran nodded expressionlessly.
That's right, suggesting Wendy become a coach for the students was his advice to both Wendy and Himeko.
Even if Himeko is carefree, she wouldn't let Wendy face the strange gazes of others. After all, being disabled means being special and weak; whether it's sympathy or ridicule, it would bring the same harm to her.
But Chen Ran knew that Wendy must accept herself calmly and wholeheartedly.
Only then would the Herrscher consciousness not amplify her negative emotions, and the experiment could approach success infinitely.
This was the result simulated by Durandal, and it had not gone wrong up to this point.
"Next is high-intensity memory battlefield training to help Wendy activate the power of Stigmata, and the experiment will approach success infinitely."
Himeko paused, then looked at Chen Ran: "But I have a question to ask."
"Is your behavior towards Wendy part of the experiment too?"
...
...
Chen Ran woke up, sweat soaking the pillow.
His breathing became heavy, and it took a long time to calm down.
It was a dream; although it was in a simulated scenario, he still dreams.
According to biological knowledge, the reasons for dreaming are generally due to irregular work habits or excessive psychological stress. It could also be caused by mental illnesses such as depression or anxiety.
"Maybe my consciousness is reaching its limit again; after all, how could I possibly be anxious?"
He mocked himself, yet his eyes were filled with an inescapable sorrow.
This was a room for one person.
Aside from a few simple tables and chairs and a computer, there were almost no other items.
Being alone meant he didn't need to disguise himself or deceive himself.
Chen Ran felt he was committing a crime.
Using subtle psychology to conduct an experiment.
Even though this was an experiment that benefited everyone, even though it was just a simulated scenario, he still deceived others' feelings.
He took a deep breath, trying to expel the subtle emotions.
Then, Chen Ran couldn't fall asleep.
He lay in bed, suddenly feeling an indescribable sense of suffocation and restlessness. He reached for his phone by the pillow; it was only four in the morning.
The bed soaked with sweat was a bit uncomfortable, so he put on a warm robe and simply got out of bed, then pulled back the curtains to look at the distant starry sky.
At this time, it was already past midnight, and the sky was a grayish hue.
The moon hung high in the night sky, possessing a unique beauty in winter.
It seemed that clouds were drifting by, and he saw a layer of shadow covering the pure white moon.
The shadow grew larger and larger...
"Damn, it's a floating battleship."
...
...
Saint Freya was attacked by Anti-Entropy, and the base's alarm rang out.
No one knew what had gotten into Anti-Entropy late at night. Chen Ran hurriedly put on his clothes and opened the door.
Based on his understanding of the plot, the time when Saint Freya was attacked by Anti-Entropy should be in 2015, targeting Raiden Mei.
However, looking at it now, the time has been moved up.
So their target is likely Wendy.
He directly knocked on Fu Hua's door; at this time, the three of them lived in a four-person dormitory, each with their own room, so as long as they were careful, there was no need to worry about privacy issues.
Before long, Fu Hua also came out dressed.
"Ah, great."
He took a deep breath and said, "Fu Hua, Anti-Entropy is attacking Saint Freya; I suspect it's targeting Wendy, so please protect her."
"Okay."
However, before the two could finish speaking, the dormitory door was kicked open.
"The target is indeed here."
A man resembling Welt had a fierce expression: "I don't want to fight; you two better get lost!"
Fu Hua's eyes narrowed, and she took the initiative to strike first.
There wasn't enough time for her to put on her Valkyrie Armor, but even so, as an A-rank Valkyrie, her fists were not something ordinary people could withstand.
However, this person was not an ordinary person.
After Fu Hua used her fists, a power similar to a Herrscher Core surged from his body.
Chen Ran frowned slightly, feeling his body becoming heavier.
In the center of gravity, Fu Hua nearly lost her balance, but fortunately, her years of martial arts experience allowed her to steady herself, not giving the opponent a chance.
At that moment, a small team entered the room.
They were mercenaries.
A man who looked strikingly like Welt laughed arrogantly: "Take down that man, and capture the target."
This group was armed with submachine guns. Chen Ran's eyes narrowed slightly, but he suddenly erupted with force, kicking the leader hard.
His physical fitness and combat skills had been enhanced by the system; he was no longer a defenseless researcher.
The young man gathered his strength, snatched a gun, and swung it, his momentum instantly pressuring everyone.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fu Hua quickly said, "I'll hold them off; you take Wendy and go first."
Before Chen Ran could react, he saw Fu Hua raise her hand.
A sudden force, like a mountain collapsing!
A thick, invisible wall of power separated them. Seeing this opportunity, Chen Ran immediately entered Wendy's room.
At this moment, Wendy was already sitting on the bed, wearing a coat, but due to her feet, she couldn't go anywhere and could only wait for the outcome outside.
"Phew, that's great."
Chen Ran directly picked her up and said, "Trust me, it will be fine."
Wendy bit her lip and said nothing, only holding onto his neck.
Then, the two of them jumped over the windowsill.
…
…
The alarm at Saint Freya continued to blare, and Theresa and Himeko were clearing the endless airdropped Titans.
"Anti-Entropy's people are still so persistent; I wonder how Wendy is doing."
Himeko's eyes held a hint of worry.
They were being held back.
The opponent's purpose was almost completely transparent; they were coming for Wendy.
"If Fu Hua is here, there shouldn't be any problems." Theresa instinctively frowned and said, "But it's not safe; if Anti-Entropy dares to come, they must be prepared."
"Himeko, I'll hold them off here; you go find Wendy."
Himeko nodded and said, "Okay."
At this moment, Chen Ran was hiding with Wendy, avoiding the enemy's tracks.
He felt a bit relieved and said, "Fortunately, there aren't too many people on the other side; otherwise, we really wouldn't be able to escape."
His skills were only slightly better than an average person; he couldn't dismantle a Titan.
Being able to jump over the windowsill without twisting his ankle was already quite lucky, not to mention he was carrying someone.
Just then, he suddenly felt a chill and instinctively dodged.
A raven feather landed on the spot, directly shattering the marble floor.
"Hey, I don't want anyone to get hurt."
"So, be good, okay?"
