Such high praise made Fingel gasp.

Caesar sensed that Angers wasn't joking; was this kid truly terrifying?

Chapter 155 Japan's impending doom

The system no longer directly interferes with Red Well's affairs, allowing it to focus on its experiments in the laboratory.

No matter how many theories you have, you still need to do some actual hands-on practice. Some minor details that are overlooked in theory may very well become the final straw that breaks the camel's back in a formal experiment.

The theory behind the Blood Control Alchemy Matrix is ​​very comprehensive, and it doesn't subject these experimental subjects to excessive torture.

Version 3.0 of the Human Bloodline Control Alchemy Matrix has been successfully released. In addition to the original suppression and self-weight, it has added a certain degree of flexibility, which allows dangerous hybrids implanted with the Alchemy Matrix to maximize the use of their bloodline power.

Going a step further, we can add self-repair capabilities.

While pondering this, the system also discovered a problem: the alchemy matrix seems to be alive.

I've heard that one of the pinnacle milestones of alchemy is the creation of the living spirit, which transforms inanimate metal into "metal life" with rudimentary intelligence.

However, this level is not easy to reach; it is the threshold of top-level alchemy, and it is questionable whether there are any such top-level alchemists among all of humanity.

A living alchemical matrix? That's a bit far off. The system turned its attention to researching how to safely allow Lu Mingfei's body to contain the dragon blood crystals.

This is equivalent to converting mechanical energy into bioenergy, allowing the power driving the alchemical matrix to be absorbed by the human body, and enabling the body to absorb it quickly and seamlessly...

But then another call came in. Su Enxi said to Lu Mingfei on the phone, "Boss Lu, we've come to rely on you."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"What else could it mean? Kassel College has taken over the plans of the King General on Red Well's side, and the White King's remains may be born within two or three days."

Su Enxi said, "The Fuji volcano looks like it could erupt at any moment, and my technicians predict that in addition to natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis, there may be other problems... It feels like there's no safety anywhere in Japan right now!"

"Weren't you in the country? Why did you come here in person?" the system asked, somewhat puzzled.

“I’m here to put on the pressure. If I hadn’t come here in person, how could I have sold off all my assets in Japan so quickly?” Su Enxi said. “As soon as I set foot in Japan, it looked like the end of the world was coming. Who could withstand that? So I had no choice but to come and seek refuge with you, Boss Lu. It’s safer for us to stick together.”

"Why does it feel more like a supervisor?"

"How could that be? Boss Lu, you shouldn't say things that are detrimental to unity."

"I'm currently in the lab and probably won't be going back anytime soon."

“It’s okay, we feel super safe living with Xia Mi. After all, she’s a super hybrid, she’s definitely stronger than us…”

After hanging up the phone, the system didn't think much of it and continued to bury itself in its research and experiments.

Su Enxi put down her phone and looked shyly at Xia Mi, saying, "Given the current situation in Japan, the three of us weak women still need the protection of super hybrids like you, right?"

"sure."

Xia Mi cracked open some melon seeds in her hand, handing some to each of the three women as she did so, and asked, "Sister Su, things are so serious here in Japan, isn't your boss coming?"

The three women, Su Enxi and Lu Mingfei, had strange origins and inexplicably became involved with him, seemingly at a deep level. They seemed to have impressive sources of information and considerable strength, which made Xia Mi quite suspicious of who was behind them.

Su Enxi took the sunflower seeds and chatted with her while cracking them open: "Our boss is busy, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't come. Isn't it because we, his capable assistants, and your boss, Boss Lu, are here?"

"Aren't you nervous? The White King has resurrected; he could destroy Japan in a heartbeat. Don't you feel like the ground in Japan is burning your feet?"

The ground in Japan was indeed quite hot, but Xia Mi said indifferently, "What's the use of being nervous in the face of the situation? Whether you're nervous or not, you still have to face the problem. If you can solve the problem, why be nervous? If you can't solve the problem, what's the point of being nervous?"

Since being nervous is pointless, why add unnecessary psychological burden?

"You're very open-minded." Mai Shude plopped down next to Xia Mi's small frame. "Your boss Lu has recruited quite a few people on this trip to Japan. Aren't you afraid of losing your position in the boss's eyes?"

"I'm so cute, how could Boss Lu possibly have the heart to do that to me?"

After making a playful remark, Xia Mi explained seriously, "It's just a competitive job selection process, it's perfectly normal. Everyone relies on their own abilities, and my sword has never been at a disadvantage."

"Oh." Su Enxi spat out the sunflower seed shells from her mouth: "What is your boss Lu thinking about in the lab right now? The White King is right in front of us, this matter is more important. We can deal with other technical work later, right?"

"I'm not quite sure. He said it was to develop a new alchemical matrix technology to control Erii's bloodline. Erii is still in Japan right now, and given her health issues, she can't be sent away immediately. So, Boss Lu is trying to overcome the challenges of this new technology."

"..."

Su Enxi and Jiu Demai took turns probing Xia Mi's opinion, sometimes with casual conversation, sometimes with purposeful probing questions.

As Xia Mi spoke, she looked at the three women with some doubt. The three women were positioned on her left, right, and front, and with these rambling topics, it didn't feel like they were there to huddle together for warmth, but rather like a joint trial by three judicial departments.

Zero remained silent, as if a judge were conducting a hearing...

"How's the situation at Hongjing?" Xia Mi asked.

Mai, speaking from close proximity, blurted out to the spy chief, "The Red Well... the Kassel College stormed in, and the project that replaced the King's was probably the one the King originally planned to dig through the Well of Hidden Bones and divert the water from it into the Red Well..."

Upon hearing the King's plan, Xia Mi shared the same doubts as the system: "Is this White King's Sacred Remains really that weak? Can you just open a passage and pull it out to deal with it?"

It's not so bad that the trap Wang set at the Red Well was dealt with; the real issue is how easily he was pulled out...

"Perhaps they didn't completely escape the underwater nuclear explosion? And doesn't the White King's Remains have some inherent flaws?"

Mai said, "Anyway, the situation is quite chaotic right now. It's a good thing that Boss Lu isn't getting involved in this. If he suffers losses in a direct confrontation, there's a risk that someone else could take advantage of the situation..."

Mai Shude simply explained the situation, but the more Natsumi listened, the more uneasy she felt… Why didn't she click on me? After all, she genuinely intended to take advantage of the situation…

No, it shouldn't be like that. If I had been discovered long ago, why would I have survived until now?

She calmed herself down and continued chatting happily with the two women.

Meanwhile, after the people from Kassel College took control of the Red Well, the Snake Clan was put in charge of external security.

The main problem is that Angers doesn't quite trust these Japanese people, and even Genjiro doesn't quite trust them... After all, the Snake Clan has been infiltrated for too long, and it's better to let outsiders like Kassel College control the core area. At least theoretically, the King's hand won't reach that far into Kassel College.

How many days will it take the tunnel boring machine to reach the target location?

“Wang’s men have already dug more than halfway through. His estimated project time is 7 days. After we take over, we will be able to reach the bottom of Thunder Valley in 2 days by advancing at a 24-hour interval.”

"Why does it feel like General Wang deliberately let us take over?"

"Don't think too much about it. We've come this far, is there any possibility of backing down?" Angers said seriously. "How's the geological survey going over Thunder Valley?"

Drilling a deep well above Thunder Valley is much easier than drilling a ten-meter diameter tunnel on the Red Well side; the results can be obtained in just a few hours.

"The well has been drilled and the Ghost-Toothed Dragon Viper has been discovered! It can be confirmed that it was carried there by the White King's remains, and the White King's remains are indeed there."

That land is known as the Red Soil, said to be the place where the head of the Yamata no Orochi was cut off and bled, so the land is stained red with the blood of the Yamata no Orochi. However, from a scientific point of view, it is actually just that the content of hematite is relatively high.

What I'm pondering now is whether the dragon body of the White King's remains is actually the form of the Yamata no Orochi.

As Genjiro spoke, he felt a chill run down his spine. Although he knew that most myths around the world evolved from dragon events, such a seemingly distorted yet very direct myth was rare. The place where Yamata no Orochi fell was indeed the place where Yamata no Orochi was buried.

What about the description of the Yamata no Orochi in mythology? If it's true, perhaps we can try to find its weaknesses, since even though the Yamata no Orochi is majestic, it has died before.

"probably?"

Angers is also unsure; Japanese mythology is too distorted to make sense to read.

The professors in the academy had studied Japanese mythology, but they were completely baffled by its abstract nature.

However, after Uesugi Koshi explained Japanese mythology, he found that it used the same embellishment techniques as myths around the world, recording both truth and falsehood together. It's just that there were far too many falsehoods, and they were exaggerated, so it looked extremely abstract.

The parts that are actually recorded are all true, with no embellishment or exaggeration...

After reporting on the work of the Snake Clan to Angers, Genji left with a heavy heart, because the final battle was coming sooner than anyone had imagined.

After standing in the rain for a moment, he took out his phone and called Lu Mingfei. As soon as the call connected, he immediately asked, "Hey, Mr. Lu, how's your research going?"

The system replied: "Experiment attempted successfully."

"So... are you leaving Japan?" Genji asked, then paused before adding, "The White King's remains are about to be excavated, and Japan will be in great danger."

"I'll wait and see how things go before making a decision."

“Understood,” Genji said. “Then please help Erii control her bloodline. I want to send her abroad; it will be safer that way.”

"Won't they object from Angers?"

The system was somewhat surprised. With Erii as such a powerful weapon, and having demonstrated its effects, how could Angers, so eager to slay the dragon, possibly let Erii leave? Wouldn't Angers have to tie such an ultimate weapon to his back and carry it with him to slay the dragon?

"It's precisely because of Principal Angers that Erii is in such a precarious situation." Genji said firmly, "Erii is a member of the Snake Clan and has nothing to do with Kassel College. Erii's affairs are none of Angers' business."

My father, Uesugi Koshi, is currently unwilling to leave Japan, so I'm entrusting Erii's matter to you, Mr. Riki.

Originally, Genjiro intended to send Erii abroad to be taken by Uesugi Koshi, but because Genjiro came back to life, Uesugi Koshi insisted on finding her and was unwilling to leave Japan...

"Ok, I see."

The system was somewhat surprised because it heard Genjiro say that Uesugi Koshi was his father... Genjiro had never said this before. Could it be that the father and son had reconciled?

There was a problem, but soon Erii answered the system's and Lu Mingfei's questions at Genji Heavy Industries.

The system, carrying a small box of alchemy tools, made its way unimpeded from the first floor of Genji Heavy Industries to the 20th floor, and pushed open Erii's hospital room.

Erii heard the door open, turned around and saw Lu Mingfei. She stopped playing the game, picked up a note and quickly wrote: "You've come."

"Hmm." After conveniently disabling all the surveillance cameras in the ward, the system said, "After this treatment, your brother and the others will send you abroad."

Upon hearing this, Erii lowered her head and quickly wrote: "My brother said before that he wanted me to go abroad with you. Where are we going? China? I've already read some information about China."

Upon seeing these words, and meeting Erii's bright, sparkling eyes, the system said, "You might go abroad a little earlier than me; I'll be going abroad later."

By the way, what's been going on between your brother and your dad lately? Your brother has started calling your dad "father."

Erii first shook her head, then nodded, and then wrote, "Dad said he's going to find Genjiro-nii."

Uesugi found out about Minamoto no Chinobu's affair? Oh, I see.

The system didn't find it particularly regrettable. After analyzing the matter of Kazama Ruri, it felt that the information wasn't that valuable.

Since Genjiro and Kazama Ruri are practically mortal enemies, how the two brothers view each other is one question, but it's certain that their relationship is definitely not normal brotherly affection. Therefore, the price Genjiro can offer is rather low...

Uesugi Kotsuki... Uesugi Kotsuki doesn't have anything good to offer, not to mention that Kazama Ruri has some strange qualities... After taking down half of the Oni Clan, Kazama Ruri's value isn't that great anymore.

"Let's start with your physical treatment. Go lie down on the bed."

Erii nodded, skillfully began to take off her clothes, and went to lie down on the bed.

Lu Mingfei felt completely different when he saw the girl's body now compared to before, after all, there were both male and female test subjects in the experiments...

Chapter 156 Night of Wind and Tide

This new alchemical matrix allows Erii to unleash her Judgment skill without having to break free of her restraints. However, the number of alchemical matrices required remains the same; what a hundred or so alchemical matrices can accomplish for an ordinary oni still requires twice as many for Erii.

This will still require more time to process.
