"What do you mean?"
Lucas frowned slightly.
Ai Yi waved her hand, and the central monitoring screen suddenly flickered.
The flickering stopped.
The figure of the Herrscher of Sentience appeared on it.
The white-haired, red-eyed woman was meditating in the air, her body suspended, exuding an aura of a master. She was still wearing the black cheongsam from before, the tight-fitting attire highlighting her graceful curves.
Almost in the second after the monitoring screen lit up.
The Herrscher of Sentience's eyes also opened, her gaze, as if from a distant place, directly locked onto Lucas.
It felt like someone had hit his head with a hammer.
The whole world began to spin.
"Damn it! Why is it me again?!"
This sharp pain came and went quickly. By the time Lucas came to his senses, Ai Yi had already closed the monitoring screen again.
The Green-haired Mechanical Girl even thoughtfully handed him a tissue.
Lucas subconsciously took it. Just as he was about to ask why she was giving him a tissue.
He felt a coolness at the tip of his nose.
Crimson blood flowed uncontrollably.
Lucas quickly looked up and wiped it with the tissue, but the blood flowed as if it were free, drenching his clothes.
Realizing something.
Lucas stood up and waved, "Judah, quick... quick, come and suck! Don't waste so much blood."
"You! You! You think I'm a beggar?!" Judah turned her head away, "Noble vampires don't eat charity."
"Go away! Go away!"
Seeing the man show signs of approaching.
Judah waved her hand in disgust and scurried away on her short legs, leaving Lucas no choice but to stop.
Ai Yi reached out and supported him, also taking out a tissue to help wipe the blood gushing from his nose.
Soon...
Lucas, with both nostrils stuffed with tissue, sat on the sofa.
"It seems the Herrscher of Sentience is recovering quite well, at least not like the past two days..."
"Yes."
Ai Yi smiled and nodded.
For some reason.
Lucas always felt that this smile was a bit dazzling.
"Since the Herrscher of Sentience's status has been confirmed, the next is the second matter."
"Ai Yi, I have some questions I want to ask you, and I hope you can answer them."
Lucas looked at the Green-haired Mechanical Girl who was also sitting beside him.
Ai Yi was very close, almost leaning against him.
The faint fragrance in the air made his heart beat a little faster.
Especially the soft touch from her side.
Just as he had said before.
Raiden Mei and Kiana were like an old married couple, while Griseo and Ai Yi were undoubtedly newcomers.
Especially the Green-haired Mechanical Girl, she was a Valkyrie he had just found in this reincarnation.
Absolutely 99% new.
Griseo could only be considered 97% new.
Lucas calmed his mind, not thinking about anything messy.
Ai Yi softly replied.
"It's alright, Captain. You can ask anything you want... as long as it's something I can tell you..."
"I will tell you."
He glanced at Judah, who was doing who knows what beside them.
Lucas turned his gaze to Ai Yi.
"You said before that there's hope if I survive. So, how long do I need to survive, and how do I survive?"
"Oh, that... Captain just needs to survive for half a year, and we'll figure out the rest." The Green-haired Mechanical Girl leaned against the man, extending a hand to gently caress his pectoral muscles, her slender fingers making his chest tingle. "As for how to survive, as long as Captain is careful and has helpers nearby, it shouldn't be a problem."
Is it really not a problem?
Ai Yi wanted Lucas to survive for half a year, but so far, his longest survival time was two months and three days.
Half a year?
That was a considerably long time.
Even with Judah's help, he could safely survive the first month.
But what about the next five months?
Lucas ignored Ai Yi's teasing.
"When you say 'we'll figure it out,' do you mean... you can take me away from St. Freya Academy?"
"That's right, I can activate the Hyperion and take the Captain away from here."
Ai Yi squeezed his firm arm. Lucas was surprised, "Why not leave now? Is there some restriction?"
"Yes, there are still many things that haven't been dealt with, so we can't leave for a while. We can only wait patiently."
Hearing these answers.
Lucas grew even more surprised.
He didn't expect this time Ai Yi wouldn't hide anything, honestly revealing these secret pieces of information.
It felt completely different from last time.
"How much of this is true, and how much is false?" Lucas wasn't sure. "Who are 'we' in your words? Besides you and Judah, are there other helpers?"
"Yes, of course there are, but... I cannot reveal their information."
Ai Yi's hands climbed onto Lucas's shoulders, and her whole body leaned against him.
Her breath was like orchids.
The Green-haired Mechanical Girl's soft, delicate body felt boneless.
Lucas continued, "Before you left, you said you would help me investigate the anomaly at St. Freya Academy. Do you have any results now?"
"Yes, I do." Ai Yi became uncharacteristically serious. She pulled her body away and sat upright. "After several days of investigation, I found that the Honkai Energy concentration worldwide has significantly increased, and people awakening natural Stigmata... as well as those with high resistance and high adaptability... are becoming more and more numerous."
Upon learning this news.
Lucas frowned deeply.
Although Ai Yi's words seemed unrelated to St. Freya Academy, they were actually very much connected.
What kind of place was this?
The Destiny Organization's largest training base for cultivating Valkyries.
Those who awakened natural Stigmata were considered geniuses.
As long as St. Freya Academy had open slots, they would definitely specially recruit these geniuses.
What's more, there were also people with high resistance and high adaptability to Honkai Energy. They were all reserve Valkyries...
"This is the real reason why the Night Valkyries can't be completely eliminated."
"There are simply too many reserves."
"If I could prevent these Valkyries from enrolling... would St. Freya Academy's situation improve? But that's too difficult. What should I do?"
Lucas thought a lot in an instant.
As an ordinary C-Rank Destiny Knight before, he had no ability to know such information.
Even if he asked Bronya to gather intelligence.
It would likely yield no results.
After all...
Whether day or night, as soon as Bronya infiltrated the Destiny database, the data would instantly become chaotic, and the entire St. Freya Academy would fall into disarray.
And Ai Yi herself, as the Hyperion's onboard AI.
Had the right to access the Destiny data area, not infiltrate it.
Perhaps this was why Ai Yi could succeed.
"During the day, I cannot act against the character settings, otherwise, it will lead to the collapse of the surface world... Having Bronya infiltrate Destiny would clearly trigger this rule."
Lucas leaned against the sofa.
Ai Yi, beside him, quietly watched the man and said, "At the same time, Honkai disasters worldwide have significantly decreased."
