Chapter 984 Blood

"I should have known earlier. Without access to Li's consciousness, this iron machine still can't compare to a real person."

Wei Wei suggested to Alicia, "Tell Li to come here half a month earlier. He is just playing house with his sister in Tianming anyway."

"If I open my mouth, Li will definitely think that I have bad intentions... Really, I really want to see him~?"

"I can't even speak. He's on guard against me..."

Weiwei and Alicia were both a little confused. Yaezha was even on guard against Su. They were wondering who to ask for them to trick Yaezha into coming here early?

"Hua can't do that. If she takes the initiative to look for Li, people will definitely think that someone is instigating her... Xi? Destobia? Ying? Danzhu?"

All kinds of familiar people went through their minds, and then Alicia and Vivi thought of a perfect candidate at the same time.

"Gray, right?"

"Indeed, even though she has grown up, her heart is very pure, and she has always been in other continents. Li would never have guessed that she had joined our plan."

"Wei Weiwei, you can't say that. We don't have any bad intentions. We just want to see Li earlier and ask him for help~"

"That's right, that's right."

The two beautiful girls laughed sweetly, but the ants that were originally moving normally at their feet seemed to suddenly change their ways and move away out of fear.

……

Destiny, in Otto's private laboratory.

"This is a new medicine I developed."

Otto handed a test tube of unknown purple liquid to Yae Ri who was invited. "In order to prevent the Black Death from mutating, we are also trying to strengthen the efficacy of the medicine."

"..."

Yae Li took the test tube and observed it briefly. For some reason, many things related to Honkai were stained purple. "Is this the first time you invited me to come here? I have been hiding it before. What made you suddenly willing to expose this place?"

Yaeri pointed to the side of the laboratory. The walls were covered with surgical instruments. Although they had been wiped clean, he could still smell a hint of blood on them.

"...Li, I hope you can help me."

Otto knew that he couldn't hide it from Yaeri. Ever since Kallen's Phantom Thief operation began that night, he had been prepared for the other party to discover his secret, even though Yaeri had never entered Victor's mansion at that time.

"Help you? Let me make it clear first, I don't know how to conduct human experiments, and I may not have as much knowledge as you do. If you need help in this regard, then I can't help you."

"You already know..."

Otto sighed, took the test tube from Yae Li's hand, and put it back on the test tube rack. "If possible, please don't tell Kallen and your sisters yet, otherwise they will stop me."

"How can you be sure I won't stop you?"

Yae Li wanted to test him, he wanted to know how many of his secrets Xu Kong Wan Zang had revealed.

"Because you haven't done anything to stop it yet, I already understand your attitude."

Otto looked at the pink-haired boy in front of him sincerely, "Li, I need your blood. My experiment is in urgent need of objects with high concentrations of Honkai energy. I haven't found a perfect substitute in the past few years, so..."

“Have I even told you my identity? That guy Xukong Wanzang…”

Yae Li had a headache. For some reason, he felt that Xukong Wanzang was full of hostility towards him. Was it because he had treated it badly in the past? Or was it seeking revenge against him for abandoning him after having an affair with him?

Forget it. No matter what, after Mei's transformation, Void Bank's goal must be to fight against Honkai. This is enough. He is too lazy to care about the details. It's just a divine key and it can't cause much trouble.

"I can give you my blood, how much do you want?"

Yae Li agreed without much hesitation. Although she was a little special as a Herrscher, the concentration of Honkai energy in her blood still met the Herrscher standard. "Take it easy. The concentration of Honkai energy in my blood is quite high. If you use it for experiments, be careful not to create something uncontrollable."

Yaeri pressed her fingernails against her wrist, and Otto quickly stood up upon seeing this, holding a beaker to catch it from below.

Yae Ri remained calm, "Filled?"

"No, just one third... one quarter is enough."

Perhaps out of concern, Otto added, "If you can't stand it, you can order less. Your safety is the most important."

Otto, who had never done similar experiments, didn't know how much impact blood had on beings like Yaegi. Although he had gone to any lengths for his own experiments, some things were more important than experiments.

Yaeri cut her wrist, and the red and purple blood slowly flowed down, soon filling up half the beaker.

Otto frowned and looked at him, only to find that he still looked normal.

Noticing Otto's gaze, Yae Li smiled nonchalantly, "As for your research on Honkai, the extra blood is just a gift to you. Don't worry about it. It's better to say that I'm the one hindering your development, right?"

Regarding objects containing high concentrations of Houkai energy, Yaeri thought of the box containing the Herrscher of Corrosion that had been hidden by Tenmei before. She gave it away herself, otherwise Otto's experiment would have yielded results long ago.

Otto didn't understand what Yaegiri said. He just stared at the blood in the beaker increasing. When it reached the three-quarter mark, Yaegiri wiped the wound with her finger to stop the bleeding.

Then Yaeri reached out and covered the mouth of the beaker to prevent the leakage of Honkai energy, so as to prevent Otto from being infected and turned into a dead soldier in an instant.

"Thank you."

Otto held the beaker filled with blood as if it were an especially precious treasure.

"It's just a piece of cake. I guess you should be prepared to be rejected. What will you use as a second choice for the experiment?"

"A kind of ore was discovered at the border of the continent, which was previously occupied by a large number of Honkai beasts. However, this ore is rare, and the concentration of Honkai energy is very low, not as high as your blood."

"Where is the Honkai Crystal?"

"Tried, but the experiment failed."

"Okay, then, I wish you good luck with your experiment after this?"

"Well, do you want me to ask the servants to prepare dinner for you?"

"No, go home and eat. We have to leave Tenmei later, so we need to spend some time with Sakura, Rin and the others during this time."

"Leaving...temporarily?"

"Correct."

"Do you need my help covering it up?"

The relationship between Apokalis and Kaslana has been a little tense recently, so the Archbishop has also been keeping a closer eye on Yaeki.

"No, I can leave whenever I want, no one can stop me. Besides, it's not like I won't come back... I just need your help to take care of Ying and the others."

"Well, I'll pay attention."
