"It will cost 10 million."
"I have quite a fortune!"
Book of Fuxi calmly signed a check and handed it to Jackal without blinking.
Jackal stroked the pattern on the check; the retro texture and the faint smell of ink made her squint in pleasure.
"Ahem! Jackal, pay attention to the occasion!"
Gray Serpent couldn't hold it anymore.
It's our duty serve Flamechasers, so why are you collecting tips here?
Besides, if we want to repay, it's more like asking Ji Lin or even Lord Hua who is powerful to help out in the future—a decent way of return that can't be measured by money, right?
How can you collect tips in person?
Where is the dignity of our World Serpent!?
Unexpectedly, Jackal sneered and spoke in a more confident tone than Gray Serpent. "What are you doing there? If you are sick, go and change your parts yourself! Do you know how big a project this is? What's wrong with me charging a little hard work fee? Besides, if I don't charge her, she may not be at ease. For this, she still has to thank me!"
"Yes, thank you!"
Book of Fuxi held the Jackal's fingers with both hands and shook them friendly.
Although she trusted the friendship between Flamechasers very much, Kevin was not here after all.
At this time, she came thousands of miles to seek medical treatment for her blockhead, and the World Serpent didn't want anything. This really made Book of Fuxi would be uneasy.
Ten million is insignificant, but it is better to give it than not. At least it shows that World Serpent still has needs and will really take this medical treatment seriously.
Gray Serpent stood there for a long time, looking at the suddenly harmonious atmosphere, and had to admit—well, Jackal is still more psychologically aware.
---
Fu Hua followed Jackal into the laboratory with a flat expression, more because of being at a loss.
World Serpent was a shadow left by Dr. Mobius, they are Kevin's follower, and a major member of Project Stigma.
When she heard this from Book of Fuxi, some fragmented memories became clear.
Fu Hua felt a little nostalgic and a little emotional—Ah, I am not the only one who has persisted with the obsession of 50,000 years ago until today!
"Your name is Jackal, right?"
Lying on the experimental table for a long time, Fu Hua looked at Jackal with a particularly complicated look.
Jackal wore thin film gloves and smiled friendly but could not hide her rebellious nature.
"My real name is Cleo. You can call me whatever you want. You are qualified."
"I heard that Kevin is lost in the Sea of Quanta, and Su is still carrying out Project Velaka?"
"Lord Kevin has not returned yet, and we are also working hard. As for Lord Su, your news is out of date. He has come out of Project Velaka. Although I don't know where he is wandering in the world now."
"What? Su has..."
Fu Hua had no time to ask, as strong weakness and sleepiness surged into her mind, and even the strength to speak quickly disappeared.
When she was drowsy, she heard the voice of Jackal with a smile.
"Let's talk about those things later. If you want, it will definitely be easier for you to see that Lord than us. The medicine has taken effect. It will be a long process next. I can't guarantee whether it will hurt or not. However, I believe you can make it through it. Wish us good luck!"
Her eyelashes, as long as black feathers, gradually closed, and Fu Hua could not give any response and fell asleep just like that. Jackal's smile deepened a little; she lowered her head, and after the scalpel flashed like lightning for a while, she took off all of Fu Hua's clothes.
What was exposed in front of her was a rare treasure in the world.
The slender and well-proportioned skeleton supported the flawless body that was white and translucent. The seemingly thin and weak body did not have any fat, only beautiful and shallow muscle lines. The body of ice and jade, the beauty of pearls and jade, was wonderful.
'Swish! I can handle Jingwei who is defenseless like this!'
'Ahem! Drag Ji Lin out!'
'Sisters, this is related to Master's health. We can't relax at all next time!'
With hundreds of support brain circuits from the Theater of Dominance connected in her mind, the smile on Jackal's face gradually disappeared, and the special scalpel glowed with cold light, close to Fu Hua's skin.
"The first step is to do a thorough inspection. Let's get started!"
---
"What did you say? Lord Su has returned to the real world?"
In the reception room of the base, Book of Fuxi dropped the teacup in her hand.
She stared blankly at the calm and indifferent Shamash, and exclaimed in unison with Fu Hua. She didn't know this news before.
Gray Serpent stood by while looking at Book of Fuxi's sluggish reaction, and felt a subtle sense of superiority—see, this is the difference between formalization and informality.
Although everyone is the Flamechasers's companion, while you are still leisurely outside, we are directly exposed to the deepest secrets of this world!
Of course, he quickly reflected on his vulgarity and wiped this emotion from his thinking circuit without letting anyone notice it.
I, Gray Serpent, am a ruthless World Serpent agent, a precise tool man, so I will not be proud of this small matter.
"Hua has the right to know this news. Moreover, although it is not 100% certain, Su may appear in the operating room today."
At this time, the people who were shocked included Gray Serpent.
"Lord Shamash, what do you mean?"
"Hua's biggest problem is not her body, but the influence caused by 'SWARA' for thousands of years. In particular, she also created the so-called Edge of Taixuan on this basis. It is difficult to figure out what state her spiritual realm is in now. So, if there is anyone who can help Hua in this regard, the only person I can think of is Su."
"I see, in this case, with the friendship between Flamechasers, Lord Su may really help!"
Gray Serpent nodded in succession, completely agreeing with Shamash's judgment.
Then we should quickly prepare for the reception, right? We also need to think about what to talk to Lord Su about.
Should we report the plan to welcome back the Lord or the detailed progress of the stigma plan?
But soon, Gray Serpent's restless thoughts quietly extinguished after seeing Shamash's calm eyes.
Yes, what the Flamechasers will do is not something like a World Serpent cadre should worry about, right?
Let everything go with the flow. If necessary, the Lords will speak naturally. Why bother?
The scarlet electronic eyes dimmed, and Gray Serpent lowered his head slightly, as cold and silent as usual, like an emotionless machine.
Book of Fuxi came back to her senses at this time and slowly approached Shamash.
"Um, Senior Shamash, do you know if Lord Su is free recently? What's his phone number? Can we invite him to Mount Taixu for tea or something?"
"It depends on whether he is willing to show up in front of you. I don't know what he saw in Project Velaka, nor do I know what he will do next, but I look forward to him giving a new answer—no matter what it is, it's okay, because it's better than this worst choice."
"Yes, if there is a chance, I will try to ask the Lord."
Book of Fuxi responded properly. The idea of making jokes to get information disappeared in Shamash's serious expression and heavy topic.
'She can't even joke anymore. The masters said that Lord Kevin is a very serious and majestic person. Just looking at him from afar makes people nervous. Now it seems that they are right! After all, even Senior Shamash is like this, what about the real person?'
While complaining, Book of Fuxi realized that Shamash had experienced Finality. So she indeed carried a completely different weight from her who had not experienced it.
How can she compare to those unimaginable awareness and responsibilities?
Book of Fuxi felt a little admiration and a little sympathy.

Treatment of Fu Hua's body is a long process.
Although Angel and others digested the full set of techniques of the Meta-Morph Surgery and MANTIS techniques very carefully, there is still an unfathomable distance between theory and practice. They did not have Otto's research on Fu Hua that lasted for hundreds of years. After the physical examination, many of the previous preparations were overturned, and the treatment plan originally envisioned also had new changes.
One day, two days, three days.
Book of Fuxi already knew that it was not that simple, so she remained calm. She even took time out from time to time to care about the anxious Ji Lin and Angel, preventing them from getting impatient and rushing into the gate of World Serpent with swords.
But on the other side of the planet, a certain Overseer who did not need to be described by name started to have a bad mood.
"Mr. Otto, Mr. Otto?"
"Hmm? I was distracted just now, right? Sorry."
Otto contacted Yae Sakura in Saint Freya as usual to listen to the progress of the patrol work and the intelligence information about Kiana—of course, everyone knew that he really cared only about the latter.
However, today, he was more concerned about a piece of news from Shenzhou than Kiana since she was in a stable condition.
"Mr. Otto, I feel that you have been in a bad mood these two days. Did something happen?"
"Alas, even you can see it. It seems that my hesitation is too obvious!"
"You can tell me what is bothering you, provided that it is convenient for me to know."
"As for you, there is actually nothing inconvenient... Well, I really want to find someone to talk to. My old friend who has been seriously injured for a long time is receiving treatment. Not to mention that she will be completely out of my control, there will be a lot of variables. For this matter, I don't know whether to bless her first or have a headache first."
Otto rubbed his temples and shook his head with a wry smile.
The intelligence technology of Gray Serpent is very good. Except for Angel's unethical tactics of directly replacing colleagues and leaders, even Otto can't intrude into ordinary intelligence wars.
But not being able to see does not mean that you can't guess nor brainstorm about
Otto knows the existence of World Serpent, he knows the revival of Book of Fuxi, and he knows the relationship between the Flamechasers and the connection between Book of Fuxi and the World Serpent.
In this case, Fu Hua walked into the territory of the World Serpent.
If she didn't appear for a long time, it would not be difficult to guess what would happen.
It is better to say that since the day Book of Fuxi revived, Otto had expected this day to come, and now it is just to confirm his prediction.
"I knew this would happen, but I couldn't stop it. Su is an uncontrollable existence, and Ji Lin's limit is difficult to measure. Forcing my old friend to maintain the status quo may ruin my years of business."
"So, Mr. Otto had no choice but to do it. In fact, you didn't want your old friend to get treatment? To be honest, you call her an old friend and still do this. You are so mean."
Yae Sakura looked a little confused, but she still extracted the key information, so she criticized it bluntly.
The disapproving look with a bit of condemnation penetrated the screen and pierced Otto's body. Otto's heart choked, and he quickly waved his hands and begged for mercy. "No, no, no, it's already in my plan to treat my old friend. I just postponed the time a little. I really treat her as a friend. She's not as bad as you think!"
"Is that so?"
Yae Sakura frowned suspiciously.
Otto wanted to explain, but he couldn't continue. If his old friend finally chose to block the road, he would shoot without hesitation, and then slowly treat her and pull her back under control.
Otto had prepared himself for this and was sure that he would do so, so he couldn't defend himself for a while and could only smile bitterly.
"Let's not talk about this because I guessed it a long time ago, so I am not completely unprepared. Her disciples still need Saint Freya, and the two sleeping Herrschers are her responsibilities that she cannot ignore. My old friend will cooperate with me, and the problem is not very serious... right?"
"Mr. Otto doesn't seem very confident."
"It's true that I'm not completely confident. After all, my old friend is one of the people who hate me the most!"
"I always feel that Mr. Otto sounds very pitiful."
A bit of sympathy appeared in Yae Sakura's eyes.
If ordinary people dared to sympathize with him, Otto would send them to hell on the spot.
But he was only helpless and relieved by Yae Sakura's sympathy.
At least Yae Sakura didn't show disgust because of this, and it seemed that she was still firmly on his side.
Compared with losing Fu Hua's complete control, it can be regarded as losing something in the east and gaining something in the west, right?
"I'm not losing from this at all."
Otto told himself so, and his mood improved.
