Arknights is too real, right?

Xia Feng couldn't see his own destiny. In his eyes, the so-called destiny was connected by chance.

If he hadn't been sitting in the lobby on the first floor at this time, he might not have met the distant mountains.

Fate, wonderful beyond words.

Standing up from the bench, Xia Feng stretched his arms. The conversation he had just had with Yuan Shan had kept his spirit in a state of tension. Now that it was over, he felt inexplicably tired.

He needs to go back and sort out the information he got.

Just as Xia Feng was about to return to his room on the fourth floor of the base, a voice came from behind him.

"Xia Feng, what did she tell you just now?"

"kindness?"

Xia Feng turned around and saw a familiar figure.

At some point, Helmer stood behind him.

Helmer put his hands into the pockets of his white coat, and there was a hint of displeasure in his expression under his glasses.

"What did that woman say to you?"

Xia Feng was stunned for a moment.

"I didn't say anything."

Homer sighed.

"You'd better not believe what she says. Sami's number one fortune teller, in my opinion, is just a bastard. He actually said something that has no scientific basis."

Seeing Hemo looking a little unhappy, Xia Feng suddenly felt a little funny.

Obviously, as a scientific researcher, Hemo did not believe in those so-called legends, such as the flame djinn or the seals of the gods. She must have thought that Yuan Shan was just telling the truth. The most important point was that Yuan Shan denied Yan. With regard to the fusion of the Demon Stone, she believed that the Balrog could not fuse with the creatures of this era, which indirectly negated the Balrog plan that Helmer was responsible for.

Xia Feng coughed lightly.

"Well, Helmer, why did you invite her here if you don't believe her?"

"It's not me who invited me, it was Rheinland Life headquarters who invited me to give advice, saying it was to analyze inflammation from another angle."

Helmer immediately stopped talking.

Xia Feng looked at Hemo quietly.

"I know that it was Balrog who fused the stone named Balrog with Ifrit. This is Balrog's plan."

Homer lowered his head.

"So you knew everything from that woman's mouth."

"I think I still have the right to know these things."

"kindness"

Xia Feng thought about it carefully.

He doesn't know what exactly happened three years later in the Balrog incident mentioned in the White-faced Owl information, but judging from these four words alone, it doesn't seem to be an optimistic outcome.

But one thing he was sure of was that Ifrit was not dead, and at the same time, she did not turn into a Balrog.

Perhaps, in order to save Charmander's life, Hemo and the others did not know how many unknown sacrifices they made.

Of course, this is the result of the normal progression of history.

But now, the progress of history has been disrupted. Because of his existence, the results of the Balrog Plan have become unpredictable.

The influence of the butterfly effect cannot be estimated. He came into contact with too many people in Mandel City. His existence was like a drop of chemical solution dripping into a glass. With the end of the Mandel City incident, the glass of water was poured into In the sea, no one can predict where the water in the cup will react chemically with what.

If you think about it carefully, this kind of thing is actually terrible.

In Xia Feng's eyes, no one knows the three years between this moment and the world of Terra three years later.

To the residents of the Terra world, that was a future that had never happened, but to him, what he saw in the Arknights game was only the result three years later.

Think deeper.

He couldn't even determine whether the Ifrit he saw now was the same person as the Charmander in Rhode Island three years later.

Rheinland Life is a biotechnology company. They master biotechnology that cannot be disclosed to the outside world, such as human cloning and memory transplantation. The role of the Source Stone is not just as simple as energy.

No one knows what will happen in the future. Even Yuanshan, who believes in fate, has said that fate can be changed.

Xia Feng cannot predict the future. All he can do now is to change from now on.

Xia Feng walked around the bench and walked to Hemo.

"Hemo, stop it. It's too late to stop now. You should know very well that Ifrit will die if the experiment fails."

"Don't make sarcastic remarks here, what do you know!"

As if stimulated by the words, Hemo's mood suddenly became excited.

"Why do you think Ifrit exists? Is it to experience this beautiful world? Don't be naive, she will die if the Balrog plan fails. I know this better than anyone else."

"Hermer."

Hemo's voice was loud. This was the first time Xia Feng had seen her have such great emotional ups and downs.

She shouted at Xia Feng.

"In the eyes of the top management of Rhine Life, Iftli is just an experimental subject. Experimental subjects do not need emotions. Likewise, no one needs to give emotions to her. Everything is for the Balrog Plan. This is reality, cold. And what do you know about rational reality?”

"Hermer, calm down."

Hemo took two steps back and rolled up his sleeves. On his arms, there were two small Originium crystals.

"I am also an infected person. I know this pain better than anyone else. Rhine Life's research has the possibility to promote the future of the world. This cannot be denied because of its dark side. The price paid for failure is the key to success. It has to be, this is reality!”

Hemo clenched his fists and looked at Xia Feng.

"I have no right to terminate the experiment. At the same time, as a scientific researcher, I cannot be affected by personal feelings."

"Is it really."

"Yes."

Xia Feng looked into Hemo's eyes quietly.

"Then why, you are crying."

Tears streaked down Homer's cheeks, her expression now filled with sadness.

Obviously, these words were her self-comfort. Not only did Xia Feng not believe it, but she herself couldn't deceive herself.

Hemo always looked rational and calm, but when he saw her crying, Xia Feng suddenly felt an inexplicable heartache.

Helmer is not a scientific researcher who cannot tolerate emotions.

Maybe in the eyes of others, Ifrit is just an experimental subject. Even if No. 019 dies, 021, 022, and 023 will still appear. However, in the eyes of Hemo, Ifrit's existence has a special meaning. Xia Feng doesn't know There was no story between Helmer and Ifrit, but one thing he was sure of was that Helmer's feelings for Ifrit were more than anyone else's.

Thinking of this, Xia Feng couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

He obviously didn't understand anything, yet he said such innocent words as terminating the experiment.

Rheinlife was not started by Hermer, she was just a scientific researcher. If an experimental subject loses its function of completing experiments, it also loses the need to exist.

Homer has done everything she can.

Without any backstage, she gained recognition from the top management with her own efforts, ousting the former Source Stone project leader. She was solely responsible for the SP experiment and implemented the experiment in a direction she believed was more correct.

Helmer is saving Ifrit in her own way. For her, there is only one way to save Charmander, and that is if the experiment is successful!

"Hemer, I'm sorry."

Hemo's emotional outburst may seem inexplicable to outsiders, but Xia Feng understands it.

Homer took off his glasses and gently wiped the tears from his eyes with his hands.

Putting her glasses back on, her expression returned to its usual expression.

"This is not something you should care about. You should consider your own situation more than Ifrit."

"I know."

"The Balrog Plan will not end, nor will it fail. I will continue Ifrit's life and give her a new life. I hope you will not make stupid interference in the process."
