Chapter 43 - Chapter 43: Ghosts and Changes

"During the process of eliminating the Emperor-level Honkai Beast, the 'Night Moth' team she led was practically annihilated. As the only survivor, the girl endured unimaginable mental pressure." 

A look of nostalgia appeared on Reanna's face.

"Although we quickly transferred her away from the front lines and provided psychological support, she still hanged herself at home on New Year's Day this year."

"Due to military discipline, can't they be buried together?" Einstein asked softly.

"I can't help it. That's military discipline." Reanna's face showed no sadness. "The so-called army... is a machine that tolerates no failure. Their Hall of Heroes will only accept those who fulfill their responsibilities to the end."

"Her life may be a tragedy, but she is not responsible for the tragedy... nothing can be done."

"..." 

With Einstein's silence, the topic ended there.

...

The stars are coming out, the food bags are emptying. Although the kittens were very happy, for the few people present...

"This is the last feeding point, right?" Reanna stood up, "I'm sorry for creating such a depressing atmosphere."

"No, it's okay. For me, this is also an experience."

"..." Reanna didn't answer, just stared at the forest under the night.

"Be careful!" Reanna dragged Einstein into the bushes beside her at lightning speed.

 In a direction that Einstein didn't notice, a mysterious floating object appeared in the night.

"Leaf? A floating object that seems to be covered with a sheet and has things like will-o'-the-wisps around it."

"No, does it look like a ghost?" Einstein looked at the floating object curiously.

"A ghost that can be seen... Ms. Reanna, can you catch it and study it?"

"..." Reanna didn't know how to respond to these words, while Tian Shi sweated silently.

"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah-nagl fhtagn!"

"Cthulhu Fhtagn!"

"This thing is still muttering something." Reanna showed a puzzled look, "And I think I've heard this somewhere before?"

"The incantation that appeared in "The Call of Cthulhu"." Einstein seemed to know everything.

""Wow! Mr. Ke is handing out candy... What kind of ghost is this?" Tian Shi also complained beside him.

 Reanna's mouth twitched slightly, she picked up a stone from the ground and threw it over.

Whizz—! 

Sharp metallic sound. 

laughter--! 

A stream of air suddenly shot out from behind the "ghost's" butt, apparently trying to escape.

"V-23 requesting emergency support! Unidentified flying object sighted! Please issue weapons to me immediately according to Plan No. 8! Mobile forces are on standby!" I don't know when Reanna took out a mini walkie-talkie.

"I repeat! Issue weapons to me! Mobile forces stand by!"

...

Outside the cemetery, a red-haired girl was whispering something to a boy. At that moment, a figure jumped out of the dark woods.

"Get out of the way! Redhead!"

"Huh? Who's red—" Bang—! Before Tesla could finish speaking, the sound of a mechanical explosion resounded in Tesla's ear.

"Plan No. 8 was a complete success. The UFO has disintegrated." The blonde Valkyrie holding the White Flower of the Abyss replied through the intercom in her hand.

"I will bring the White Flower of the Abyss myself, according to the plan. End of communication."

Then Reanna looked at Tesla worriedly, "How are you two? Are you okay?"

"It's nothing! My latest model of a floating robot! You have to compensate me!" Being beaten to death by the White Flower of the Abyss, as a robot, I think it can die without regrets.

"Golden Retriever, bring my fire sword."

"Ah, the fire sword?" Reanna was a little confused.

"Sister Tesla must be talking about a welding gun." The brown-haired boy said cautiously.

"Sorry, this idiot in my family doesn't speak human words when she gets irritated."

"Hey, Chicken Head! Who are you calling an idiot?"

"Who else is here besides Dr. Tesla who isn't a loser?" Einstein laughed.

"Mmm…"

"S-sorry, I didn't expect it to be a robot." Reanna seemed apologetic, "I'll compensate you."

"Forget it, how did you do that? You broke all the wires." Tesla waved her hand. Then, the topic turned to the creation ability of the White Flower of the Abyss and the definition of life.

"Can it only repair damage to living things? There is no absolute boundary between inorganic and organic."

Look at it from another perspective.

 Aren't humans just machines with self-awareness? Think about our organs, cells, mitochondria, neurotransmitters... Which one doesn't execute orders according to external conditions? Tesla's series of combined questions left Reanna a little confused. 

She is just a Valkyrie, not a biologist.

However, the others didn't pay much attention to Tesla's side, but looked at the brown-haired boy in the laboratory. 

-Joachim Nokianvirtanen

 The future Welt Yang is still a little kid who likes to go to the laboratory and play with toys. 

Although young, he already has some of the appearance of his father, Finn.

At that moment, Joachim unexpectedly began to chat with Welt.

"The two of them get along quite well." Tian Shi commented while floating in the air.

"I think these two look like father and son."

"What are you talking about?" Einstein didn't care about Tian Shi's evaluation, "However, it might be interesting to go through the formalities... Well, although Joachim is definitely unwilling to be Welt's heir."

"..." 

What reverse poisonous milk. 

In the future, Joachim really does take on Welt's mantle.

"By the way, speaking of Finn." Tian Shi suddenly remembered something.

"Ein, go out and check the mailbox. If you count the time, it should be today."

"Mailbox?" Einstein nodded, greeted them, and walked out the door, checking the mailbox in front of the door was empty most of the time.

There was a scroll case and a letter inside. "This is..."

"Didn't I sleep in the same room as Edison? I told her that the Dead Sea Scrolls had been tampered with." In this way, the scientists in the Laboratory 42 circle will know about the manipulation of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

"She returned the ancient scrolls, which means they have started research and development, and what we have to do is..."

"Find out where they've tampered with it, right?"
