The mugwort was startled by the sudden, sharp cracking sound.
Even more disruptive was the system yelling in her mind: "Isn't this the research director?! How come he's showing up now?!"
Ai Cao curled her lips into a smile: "Guess why he's showing up now?" She paused, then continued, "How much mental energy does he have right now?"
The system was silent for a moment, then said, "SS".
"Do you understand?" Ai Cao said, "His mental strength is already considered quite good among men, but it's not enough in front of Xia Moli."
Just as her mental strength was too low to sense the other party's mental attack, the research director's mental strength was like a tiny shrimp to Xia Moli.
She can catch him if she wants to.
That's what she said to the system, but when facing Xia Moli, Ai Cao changed her tune. She and Xia Moli looked at the tiny worm in Xia Moli's hand and asked, "What is this?"
Xia Moli stared at the worm for a while, then closed her eyes again. She used her mental energy to construct a new mental barrier around the worm's body.
Her spiritual power, like a cocoon, densely enveloped the worm.
Xia Moli opened her eyes and loosened her grip slightly. The worm lay peacefully in her palm, no longer struggling.
“His identity hasn’t been confirmed yet,” Xia Moli said. She thought for a moment and then added, “But it looks like he wants to kill us, so I’m going to look at his memories.”
“Okay, okay,” Ai Cao agreed.
“I’ll accompany her to deliver the ‘Bone of Adam’,” Nana said. The metal on the face of the little robot next to her moved up and down, revealing a smile.
"It's a pleasure working with you," the little robot said, turning towards Xia Moli.
"It's a pleasure working with you," Xia Moli said.
They bid each other farewell for the time being. Ai Cao and Xia Moli stayed on the display stand in the Golden Hall to continue their in-depth research on the tiny worm; Nana, on the other hand, sent away the "Adam's Bone" with the little robot.
After completing the delivery, Nana will return to the Golden Hall to reunite with them.
Ai Cao watched Nana and the little robot leave. She casually dragged over a table used to display auction items and sat down on it.
Xia Moli opened her eyes again.
"What did you find?" Ai Cao asked.
Xia Moli's expression was much more relaxed than before. She smiled, her eyes crinkling, and said, "You discovered I wanted to kill him."
“Wow,” said Artemisia. Although she used an interjection of surprise, her expression showed no surprise at all.
If she were randomly dragged into another world, she would want to kill that person.
“Then let’s go kill him together.” Ai Cao thought for a moment and then said, “If you’re willing to wait a little longer, I can make his death even more gruesome.”
Xia Moli and Ai Cao looked at each other for a moment, then she closed her eyes and said:
"good."
Even the mugwort smiles.
Then, Xia Moli began to tell more detailed information about the worm.
“I invaded the other person’s memories.” She began her story with this sentence. “During the invasion, I discovered that the other person’s mental strength was higher than that of other men in this world.”
“I have never invaded an individual with such high mental power before, so I first constructed my own mental cocoon around him.”
"In this way, he will feel at ease because of my omnipresent spiritual power. They are all like this... If they sense danger in only one direction, they will run away; but if danger is everywhere, they will lie down."
"After putting him in a relatively stable state, I successfully invaded his memory."
Xia Moli paused for a moment. She held the worm in her hand higher, her eyes blazing with anger.
“I saw it… they were searching for women using an instrument similar to the ‘Bone of Adam’.”
"...The last person to appear on that instrument was me."
Xia Moli took a deep breath. She stared at the worm, her hands trembling slightly: "That version of me, who knew nothing about what would happen in the future."
“At first, I had no idea why I came into this world,” Xia Moli said. “It was just an ordinary day… I didn’t do anything special. I was unconscious, and when I woke up, I was in a world I didn’t know.”
"Am I a lucky victim, or an unfortunate 'Eve'?" Xia Moli asked.
A look of confusion appeared in her eyes.
But Ai Cao, who had been sitting next to her, smiled.
Artemisia said, "You are an unfortunate victim, but also a lucky 'Eve.' — Is this a safe place? Shall I begin my story?"
Xia Moli's eyes sparkled. She silently gazed at the mugwort.
Then, the mugwort also told a story.
In the story, the woman, as the last woman in the entire universe, is showered with affection.
Although she no longer had the freedom to travel, the freedom to play and socialize with others, or the freedom to control her own body, she was still pampered by men.
Whatever she wants, the man will give her.
Moreover, every man in the universe envies her partner.
Even though her partner is the most esteemed star cluster leader in the entire universe.
The jealous men were killed by the star cluster leader. One by one, the men the woman knew died.
Finally, her partner stayed by her side and watched her die.
"If you were the unfortunate 'Eve,' how would I describe the woman in the story?"
"Artemisia said with a smile."
Xia Moli took a breath. She already had a vague premonition about this, and the story of the mugwort only confirmed her suspicions.
“…Although I suspected from the beginning that you also came from another world,” Xia Moli said, “but…you’re here to help me? Why?”
Ai Cao smiled and winked: "Do I need a reason?"
“Yes, we need to,” Xia Moli said.
Artemisia shrugged helplessly.
She pointed to herself, then to Xia Moli: "We are all women, that's enough."
“If that’s not enough of a reason… let’s add Nana.” Ai Cao said with a smile, “In the original story, she should have been destroyed according to the procedure.”
"Jasmine. Tell me, why did you go to save Nana?"
