Chapter 209 Conclusion
"Heh - wow wow wow..."
Early the next morning, Mikael carried a large pile of paper accounts and reports and handed them back to Mei.
"Quick as always, Mikael."
Mei's compliment made Mikael blush unconsciously - can you not be happy... He didn't even look at it at all!
Seeing Mikael's slightly embarrassed look, Mei smiled knowingly. She suddenly dropped her pen and relaxed on the back of her chair.
Mikael couldn't figure out the reason for her actions, neither did she leave for a while, nor did she not leave at all.
Mei suddenly straightened up again, rummaged through the mountain of documents, found one of them and handed it to Mikael.
"Lezlen has been complaining to me for a long time. He said that the underground environment is too humid and he can't get used to it. He wants to move back to the ground. What do you think?"
"The reason why he wants to move back to the ground is definitely not because of pretentiousness."
Mikael opened his mouth and said while flipping through the documents.
"Although I don't like him, I believe that he will never do anything without a purpose. And, I think you should also notice that he seems to be planning something since a long time ago, so that there is no doubt about the internal affairs of the Fire Chaser Moth. There is no interest in the power struggle.”
Of course May knew this, after all, Lezren did not, and had never, tried to hide it. Of course, based on his style, it's possible - he doesn't mind others knowing this at all, and even wants everyone to know that he has a pursuit of power that transcends the world.
It's just that he's measured and right, and anyone who cares can detect that he has a plan, but what exactly is this plan?
No one knows.
"I have sneaked into Lezlen's office with Velvet several times, but I have not been able to find any records from his computer. And, if I remember correctly, Mei, you should have monitored his schedule, right? He basically stays at two points and one line every day, and there is no possibility of going to a third place.”
"So, what's your opinion?"
"Let him be."
Mikael raised his hand involuntarily, trying to touch his nose, but when he raised his hand halfway, as if he realized something, he put it into the corner of his mouth, bit it lightly, and quickly put it down again.
"Since he hides it so well now, let him do it. One day he will reveal his flaws."
"Crack!"
Mei snapped her fingers, "Very good, it seems we want to go together again!"
"Well, there's nothing wrong...I'll leave first."
"Please wait a moment."
Mikael turned his head and saw Mei crossing her hands, as if she was hesitating.
After a moment, she asked: "Mikael, regarding the Quantum Sea... I know that you have taken Kevin and Hua in and out of the Quantum Sea, so... can I..."
Before Mei could finish her request, Mikael denied it.
"No... Mei, you should also have thought that Sakura had a violent rejection reaction the moment the Quantum Sea opened in New Mallorca City. And since I have no intention of taking you to the Quantum Sea, it means that In fact, your body... will not be accepted by the quantum sea."
"You are not accepted by the Quantum Sea, but what will happen if you forcefully enter the Quantum Sea?"
Mei somewhat knows what she is asking, but this is also a kind of persistence in [hope].
"You will lose your unitarity, you know what that means. Your body will be lost in the quantum sea, and your consciousness will only be retained in extremely lucky circumstances."
"Well...that's it..."
Mei Qian sighed, not seeming to be disappointed.
When she raised her head again, she was the only one left in the office.
Only then would she hide her face and look at the pile of documents on the table with a helpless expression.
"Huh...Okay! Prometheus, let's start today's work!"
Mikael glanced at the calendar under the wall clock.
Three days have passed since the Vishnu incident.
Three days... is not a long time, not a short time, but for some fatal possibilities, it is enough to happen countless times.
Mikael locked himself in the office with the sign "Captain of Anti-Entropy". He first leaned against the door to feel the state of the world bubble inside his body.
"It's okay...it's okay..."
It is also a world bubble anchored to itself. This one of Mikael is not of the same magnitude as the one in Hollandale in the future. The latter has a relatively complete world and civilization, but this one of Mikael...is only one in size. Burindi City.
The stability is naturally different. This is also the reason why Mikael needs to use space power to continuously strengthen the boundaries of the world bubble.
The battle with Vishnu somewhat affected the Quantum Sea, so Mikael had to pay attention to it.
After all, a small "bubble" floating in the ocean tide is very likely to break no matter how anchored or reinforced it is.
Fortunately, this hasn't happened yet.
The structure of the World Bubble was relatively intact, but Mikael decided to go there himself.
On the one hand, he had to make sure that the people among them were also intact, and on the other hand... He had made an appointment with Xi'er to visit her once a week. He had been delayed for a day due to injury and had missed the agreed date. It was hard to come to Xi'er even if he wanted to. Are you getting anxious?
When his figure appeared again, he was already standing on the long bridge.
"Huh? Is the error so big?"
Mikael turned his head and looked at a tall building three hundred meters away. It was the place where Mei watched him, Ellie and the Sixth Herrscher fight. It was also the first [anchor point] Mikael left in this world. 】.
Because the time left for the anchor point is before the world bubble is inverted and anchored to itself. Therefore, the position of this anchor point is absolute in space, and naturally it can also be used to perceive the tiny floating of the world soaked in the quantum sea.
That's where Mikael had just positioned, but a rift in space opened from the bridge three hundred meters away.
This error cannot be said to be small, but it cannot be said to be particularly large. It is completely within the acceptable range. As the wave of the quantum sea subsides, it will return to its previously anchored position.
After thinking briefly, Mikael appeared in the basement.
"Brother Mikael!"
Before the slight dizziness disappeared, Xi'er, who had a pair of dark circles under her eyes, had already jumped into his arms.
"Uh... Xi'er, you..."
"Why……"
A neat sigh sounded in my ears.
"Did something happen in the intrinsic world? Xier has been sitting here waiting for you all day."
"Well, something did go wrong."
While answering Ellie in the world bubble, Mikael let go of Siel who was clinging to him like an octopus.
He spoke several times, but he only half-opened his mouth, not knowing what sound to make.
In the end, it was just a sentence: "I'm sorry, Xi'er, for making you worry."
"It's okay! I know brother Mikael has a lot to do!"
Xier sat back on her desk obediently.
Compared to before, her cheeks were much thinner, and her blue eyes seemed to be getting deeper.
"Let's go! Let's go prepare lunch for the two siblings!"
Ai Li dragged Mei and left quietly, leaving time and space to the brother and sister.
Mikael stroked Xi'er's head lovingly, and as before, always messed up her hair unconsciously.
He didn't speak, and Xier stopped talking. She just sat there in a daze, as if waiting for him to speak.
"...Xie'er..."
"Hey, I'm here!"
"...Xie'er, do you want any more toys? Or something delicious? Or, do you want to watch Sister Eden's opera video? I came in a hurry this time and didn't bring anything. I'll make up for it next time. !”
Mikael tried his best to sound relaxed, but upon hearing his words, the twinkling light in Xi'er's eyes dimmed visibly.
189 days and 9 hours, this is the time she has spent in the world bubble.
Although Mikael comes to see her every week, it brings her some trivial happiness...
But the day of returning to the original world has never come.
"Brother Mikael, when can I go back...to be with everyone?"
Ellie and Mei in the world bubble are naturally good to her, or rather very good to her, but...but there is no Mikael here after all...
She sat on the chair and shook her legs slightly, but this sentence was buried deep in her heart after all - she still believed that there must be a reason why Mikael kept her here, and she just needed to wait quietly. .
Michael looked at the silent girl and forced a smile. Now that it is confirmed that the state of the world bubble is still good, and now that it is confirmed that Xi'er is still in the world bubble, Michael has no intention of staying here anymore - he is too scared, afraid that if Xi'er just opens her mouth to beg, he will Couldn't help but take her away.
"Then...should I leave first?"
"good."
After blurting out this syllable, Xi'er suddenly wrinkled her nose and her vision suddenly blurred.
A teardrop burst out of his eyes and fell straight to the ground, leaving a shallow mark.
Will brother Mikael see it? Will he?
Xi'er looked forward to it with a hint of hope, but in front of her eyes, there was nothing but fine dust floating in the air.
"Chloe... cluck... cluck..."
For a moment, she couldn't tell whether it was the sound of clenched teeth or clenched fists.
"Liar...liar! Big liar!"
In a daze, she seemed to see tears falling on the ground, piercing through the indestructible armor plate...
She collapsed suddenly, collapsed to the ground, and then hit the teardrop-stained armor plate with her fists again and again.
The necklace Aponya gave her swayed around her neck as she moved, making a "zero" sound.
The sound grew louder and louder, until the person punching suddenly realized that it was not the sound of the necklace, but...
The sound of water.
"Oh, that's right! I forgot to remind Mikael!"
Ellie, who was carrying a lunch box of unknown color, suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"The mental stabilizing drugs Su prescribed for Xi'er happened to be taken yesterday. I should have asked Mikael to go back and bring some more."
"Hmm...it's okay. It's not finished now."
Mei held a bento with a more complex smell, and the door opened and closed automatically in front of the two of them.
"Um?"
"Eh! Ahhh! I'm so angry! The two brothers and sister left without even saying hello to us!"
The room was completely empty.
Compared to Aili's anger, Mei's expression gradually changed from stunned to solemn.
She put down what she was holding and walked around the room several times.
"No, Ellie..."
"What's wrong?"
"Mikael and Seer didn't leave any words. If they left normally, would they leave without saying goodbye? And if Seer left with Mikael, shouldn't he freeze the movement of the world bubble again?"
"You mean Seer disappeared after Mikael left? That's impossible, right? This is the world bubble that Mikael reinforced, how could it be..."
Before she finished her words, the whole space began to shake, like a ship rolling and struggling in a tsunami.
"What's going on!"
"Didn't I say that before!"
Mei pushed the stool and sat down in the safety triangle.
"I don't know what happened in the quantum sea. There has been a huge fluctuation recently. The previous ones were relatively minor, and you and Xi'er may not have noticed it. This should be the last and largest fluctuation - Xi'er should take this opportunity..."
Aili's expression gradually became serious - "Does that mean she really left? Then... calculate the time, if Xi'er returns to the intrinsic world... doesn't it mean..."
Mei took a deep breath, and her eyes became pitiful and desperate: "Well... that's it... Humph! [Convergence]... I have to find a way to contact the intrinsic world... Fortunately, I am not unprepared for this - Prometheus."
"I'm here, Doctor."
"When will the repair of the Second God Key be completed?"
"It is expected to take another three hours."
"The Second God Key, that's not..."
Mei nodded to the stunned Ai Li.
"Yes, our Second God Key is theoretically only useful within the World Bubble, but due to the spatial power left by Mikael in the World Bubble, we can also connect to the outside world in a small range - through the channel he opened up."
"Then what? Leave through this?"
"That kind of thing is of course impossible. All we did was to open up a channel. Next, we need a little luck... Quantum entanglement. I hope that we in the intrinsic world can feel all this and make preparations or prompts."
