In the scientific research institute, Mi'er and Mia didn't seem to be looking very well after they woke up.
"Mi'er." Little Mia secretly said, "Your face looks a little ugly."
"Stop talking, I had several nightmares last night." Mi'er said tiredly.
"Me too!" Mia exclaimed, "I dreamed that I was trapped in a sunken palace under Constantinople, and the ground was full of roving vicious dogs!"
"I..." Mi'er opened her mouth and said, "That's about right."
In fact, she dreamed that Asike was getting married in turn with other girls in the team, and in her dream she was tiredly attending everyone's weddings, watching them happily exchanging rings and kissing the group leader, almost shedding tears.
"It looks like you haven't slept well." Asik sat on the chair next to him and took out a slender wine can and cup from under the table. "Although minors are not allowed to drink, I think you will feel better after a sip.
.”
"What does it matter if you are underage? I drink a lot in the Thieves Guild." Little Mia immediately grabbed the wine can, skillfully poured herself a glass, and sniffed, "Where did you get the aged whiskey?"
"In the warehouse," Ask said.
"Hehe." Little Mia took a sip and her face immediately turned red.
"That's enough, don't drink more." Ask took the wine can from her hand.
Even if she is mentally corroded by the abyss, a sip of wine is enough to relieve her mental stress - after all, Mia is not an adult and lacks the corresponding self-control.
"Give it back to me!" Mia quickly threw herself into his arms, grabbing his shoulders and trying to reach the wine jar. Asik raised the wine jar in his hand so high that Mia could only cling to it.
His body kept rubbing and rubbing...
"Mia!" Mi'er suddenly became angry and stepped forward to pull her down. As soon as Mia turned her head, she couldn't help but burp, which made Mi'er pinch her nose quickly.
"Ask, are we going to stay here any longer?" she asked somewhat uncomfortably.
"Of course, we are in the abyss." Ask replied, "The safest plan is of course to wait for rescue in this research institute, or wait for Mia to completely master the Ripple Sword."
"Wait until Mia masters the Ripple Sword?" Mi'er looked at the drunken Mia next to her, dumbfounded, "Can she do it?"
"I believe Mia has outstanding talent in this area." Ask replied, "Maybe you can observe the future to see if my judgment is correct."
"Okay." Mi'er began to observe the future. After a while, she suddenly discovered some strange clues.
"Hey, Ask, there's something wrong with this." The half-elf girl said vigilantly, "In the next few days, the spiritual erosion from the abyss will increase dramatically..."
"That's because of the coating." A mechanical electronic voice sounded at the door, and the synthesizer Cappe walked into the room at some point. "When this scientific research institute was built, the exterior was painted with coating to isolate the erosion of the abyss.
layer."
"However, after more than 1,700 years of natural aging, these coatings have now decomposed completely, so you will still suffer the mental erosion of the abyss in the institute... What is even more unfortunate is that the tide of the abyss has entered a rising period. In the next half month
Here, the abyssal erosion will gradually rise until it reaches its peak."
"Is there a way to solve it?" Mi'er asked.
"For you humans, there is no complete solution." Cappe replied, "Even the coating materials stored in the warehouse have not been stored for a long time like food cans, so they have all decayed.
Already."
"But you can take medicine to alleviate the mental damage caused by erosion. I gave you some diazepam diazepam tablets this morning, but you don't seem to have taken them?"
"I think it's better not to take medicine indiscriminately, especially when there is no doctor." Asik stared at it and said.
"This is your freedom, visitor." The red light in Cappe's eyes seemed to flicker, and then he turned and left.
After the door of the room was closed again, Mi'er turned to look at Aske and asked in a low voice:
"Ask...is there something wrong with this synth?"
"There's obviously something wrong." Ask replied, staring at the door. "It's just that I don't know if it's friendly to us or malicious."
Mi'er sighed, thinking that if Nora was here, she could immediately confirm whether the medicine was safe; even without Nora, if Medea was here, she could quickly tell whether the other party was malicious.
It seemed that Minerva had no choice but to ask for help.
So she activated the Fruit of Eden again and summoned the Banshee King of the parallel world.
——————————
"Diazepam and Diazepam tablets?" Minerva weighed the medicine bottle in her hand and said, "I have no research on technological drugs, but I know that this is the bottom of the abyss. It is impossible to rely solely on drugs to resist mental erosion.
Possible things."
"Even the surveillance organization must wear full-coverage equipment with anti-corrosion coating at all times in this position, take medication regularly, and undergo psychological examination and treatment."
"In other words, that synthetic man lied to us?" Mi'er guessed, "These drugs don't have much effect on us?"
"It can only be said that medicine alone is not enough." Minerva replied, "As for whether this medicine is real or fake, and the purpose of giving this to you... I can't guess."
"If you are worried, I will just destroy it, so you don't have to worry too much."
"I won't bother you to take action now." Asik said calmly, "After all, it has lived here for more than 1,700 years. If it is not hostile to us, then keeping it here is far more valuable than destroying it, especially in terms of intelligence.
"
"Maybe I can try to control it with the curse ability." Minerva said uncertainly, "Let it reveal all the information it knows."
"This can be used as an alternative." Asker said, "Before that, we have to do one thing first."
"What's up?"
"Let Mia wake up." Ask pointed at Mia who was lying drunk on the table.
What, Mia's drinking capacity is too bad, she even boasted that she used to drink a lot... Mi'er was completely speechless.
Minerva gently floated to her side, and without using any curse ability, she just pressed her fingers on little Mia's neck. The latter soon shivered and slowly woke up.
"So next, we should continue to wait and test this synthetic human by the way?" Mi'er asked.
"Yes." Ask replied, "I will be responsible for tricking it."
"Mi'er, you are responsible for observing the future. Especially every time I ask a question, you need to observe and record all the corresponding answers it may give in advance. The answers you give will determine my next move.
The second thing to ask it is what questions it has.”
"Mia, your goal is to become proficient in the Ripple Sword as soon as possible. I need you to devote all your time to practicing. Note, it is all your time. I will supervise you in this aspect every day."
