A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 259 I'm sorry, it took me a full ten years to come and get you.

In the stillness of the night, the bright moon slowly sails toward the harbor in the Milky Way, its pale light shining hazily on the windows, the pillars, and Finger's face, casting a solemn and holy glow.

The evening breeze rustled through the grass and leaves, the gentle rustling of nature providing accompaniment for Fingel's actions tonight.

He played out his longing over the past ten years, recalling the youth buried deep in the icy sea ten years ago.

Fortunately, today, this buried beauty is about to return to his side.

The doors of the Kassel Library, locked late at night, automatically and silently slid open after detecting Finger.

The constantly flashing red light on the surveillance camera quietly went out. Even with his eyes closed, Fingel could easily find the elevator and arrive at the machine room forty meters underground, where the core of the artificial intelligence Norma was located.

The place, which is usually deserted, remains pitch black, with numerous red and green lights flashing clearly visible in the darkness.

Fingel's arrival with his backpack seemed to provoke them; the hard drive light, data flow indicator, and host frequency indicator all began flashing at ten times the speed, and faster and faster.

The flickering light illuminated Fingel's freshly shaved, bluish-gray chin and the faint smile on his lips: "EVA, no, Eva, I've come to pick you up."

The response to Fingel was no longer Norma's cold, mechanical female voice, but the voice he knew best, that of his former lover: "Although I don't want to say it."

"But according to Norma's calculations, there is no possibility of the resurrection of hybrids in the world."

Fingel wasn't angry at all at being rejected; on the contrary, he was quite happy: "That's because Norma doesn't know how mysterious and incredible the knowledge left over from the past is."

"Since I embarked on this path, I have been studying diligently. Eva, do you know? I have never seen such vast and profound knowledge."

"The world of mysticism is so fascinating. Its knowledge involves the universe and the stars. Even now, I have only grasped a drop in the ocean."

The fans in the server room were even louder, and Eva's voice carried a hint of obvious doubt: "Norma knows about the Old Church."

"After the battle of the capital, Norma has incorporated relevant information into the calculations, but the result is still that resurrection is impossible."

“I know,” Fingel replied softly to his lover. “Those who are truly dead are not so easily brought back to life.”

“But you are different, Eva. Your soul is intact, you only lack your original body and a little bit of the means to reintegrate your soul into your body.”

“Norma still has your genetic data. Based on this genetic data and the technology I obtained from the Chen family’s cloning base, I can effectively recreate your hematopoietic stem cells.”

"With a little nurturing, you can obtain the most basic body tissues, and then using my newly created secret technique, 'Don't Die,' your body can be restored to its full potential."

"In this way, it won't be considered cloning. The body will still be your body, and no other intelligence will be born."

After saying that, as if he were holding some rare treasure, Fingel took out a small petri dish from his pocket with great care.

Based on Eva's genetic data, a tiny bit of her body's flesh and blood structure was perfectly reproduced by Finger.

Fingel moved with extreme care, as if afraid of bumping or hurting himself. He slowly knelt on the cool, radiant floor and gently lifted the petri dish to take out the cultured product.

He took out a silver knife and set up a spiritual wall. Then, Fingel put down his backpack, took out various precious dragon blood materials, and set up the corresponding amplification ritual.

This ritual was created by Fingel himself, combining and improving upon the arcane art of "Don't Die." It has only one effect: to maximize the effectiveness of the arcane art of "Don't Die."

The massive array of EVA chassis was now running at full speed, with its numerous cooling devices operating like madmen, but she remained silent, no longer questioning, simply keeping watch quietly.

Once everything was in place, Fingel frantically squeezed out his own spirituality, using the secret technique "Don't Die!" and initiated the ritual.

The tiny bit of flesh and blood from Eva's genes naturally contained the cells that a hybrid should have. Under the healing power of the secret technique "Don't Die," her cells underwent a kind of extreme evolution.

It briefly transformed into a super cell resembling a nanomachine and began to irrationally repair the damaged body.

Similar to Lu Mingfei's extraordinary speed of limb regeneration during the Battle of the Imperial Capital, Eva's flesh and blood began to repair themselves at a similar pace.

The ritual magic amplification technique, "Don't Die," was set up. Under the surge of spiritual energy, the ritual empowerment technique allowed a miraculous scene to slowly unfold before Fingel's eyes.

The flesh and blood were spreading rapidly, growing quickly and wildly, but not in a savage way.

Every bit of flesh and blood grows according to the underlying genetic code, and it doesn't turn into some kind of monster, but slowly forms internal organs, bones, and eventually the skin.

Success, success!
Fingel watched as his former lover's body slowly emerged, and he didn't care even as his spiritual energy continued to deplete and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

He immersed himself in spirituality, gazing intently at the body before him, his eyes filled with tenderness.

The noise from the computer room fans has decreased at some point, and the flashing frequency of the various red and green lights has also decreased to a certain extent.

It was as if even EVA, which had no physical form, could sense Fingel's focus and endure all kinds of mechanical reactions, unwilling to disturb him.

Or perhaps EVA was also shocked by the scene before her, forcibly stopping her calculations, and just staring blankly at the body that belonged to her.

'thump! ’

Fingel lost his balance and knelt down, clutching his head tightly with both hands. His head was throbbing with pain, and the act of squeezing his own spiritual energy had taken a heavy toll on his mental well-being.

He couldn't take it anymore, but he couldn't stop here!

Eva's body has been largely restored, with only a few details remaining, the very last bit!

Persevere, persevere!
Kneeling, Fingel took out the spiritual potion he had purchased from Lady Moon and drank it down in large gulps. A sudden coolness ran through his head, and he continued to channel the newly born spiritual energy into his secret technique.

The snow-white body before Fingel began its final restoration; the five skeletal fingers were slowly covered with the last flesh, and the fingertips grew the last skin and nails.

A tuft of tender hair sprouted from the bald head, and in an instant, the short hair turned jet black, reaching waist-length. Even the body, which had been completely still, began to breathe unconsciously, its chest rising and falling.

"Finished, done..."

"Fingal? Fingal!"

The case fans started making a lot of noise, and the red and green lights seemed to be constantly flashing, but Fingel had already fallen unconscious and collapsed, and no matter how much EVA called out to him, he could not wake up.

Without any hesitation, EVA immediately contacted Chen Motong and Su Xi, and even wanted to contact Principal Angers, because EVA knew that Angers was no longer the same as before.

However, when various cameras captured the Eva Primarch in front of Fingel, EVA suppressed the idea of ​​contacting Angers and prioritized contacting the two ladies.

In less than two minutes, Chen Motong had arrived at Norma's computer room. To avoid any accidents, she had jumped through her dreams to get there, something Susie couldn't do as well as her.

Ignoring the body that Fingel had been longing for day and night, Chen Motong quickly walked to Fingel, squatted down, and conducted a brief examination: "Phew, don't worry."

"The body is unharmed, and the mind is not out of control."

"Brother Fingel is fine. He's just overexerted in spiritual energy. He'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

After the examination, Chen Motong finally had time to glance at Eva's original form. A slight smile appeared on her lips. No wonder Senior Brother Fingel had been thinking about her for ten years; she was a stunningly beautiful senior sister.

"Thank you so much, Nono." EVA used the projection device to conjure a phantom figure that looked exactly like the original body on the ground.

Her hair had grown much longer, even reaching past her feet.

"No need, I haven't slept either. I just came to take a look. It's no trouble. You can stay and watch over him. I won't disturb you."

"By the way, did you also notify Susie? I'll go tell her not to come."

Chen Motong wouldn't stay and be disliked. Even though it was just a computer-projected EVA, EVA's eyes were full of worry for Fingel, which didn't seem like an artificial intelligence simulation at all.

As a viewer, Chen Motong naturally assumed that the other party wanted to see Fingel more, so she didn't linger and showed no curiosity about Norma's computer room, quickly leaving.

She was thinking of going outside to intercept Susie and have a good chat about Fingel's gossip! She had no intention of staying behind as a third wheel.

……

"Ugh, I... I'm so thirsty... What is this?" Fingel opened his eyes again and saw the illusory light and shadow of EVA floating in front of him.

Make him snap out of it!

Forgetting the thirst from lack of water, ignoring the excruciating pain in his head, he foolishly reached out, only to find himself grasping at the moon's reflection in the water, his touch fleeting.

Oh, it was a projector.

No! Fingel's eyes became clearer, and he rolled over and sat up, only to see the naked Eva Primarch beside him. He finally remembered the memories before he fell into a coma.

Yes, it's a success! Now there's only one last step: to retrieve Eva's soul and integrate it into her body!

The sluggish excitement masked the pain in his brain. Just as he was about to make a move, the illusory EVA forcefully stopped him: "Wait a minute, you need to rest now!"

Looking at the EVA with its arms outstretched as if to embrace him, Fingel gradually calmed down, and negative physical sensations such as headache and thirst became clearer.

"I know, I know you care about me, you want me to rest before continuing, but I... I've been waiting for this day for ten years!"

"Really, I couldn't wait even a second longer. I'm sorry, Eva, it's been ten years, and I'm only just now coming to... pick you up."

"I don't want to wait anymore."

“Not belonging to this era…” Fingal had never been so devout as he was now.

The flashing red and green lights on the computer case illuminated his face, making him appear almost saintly.

Above the gray fog, during the rest time in the middle of the night, Bao Lie condensed a large patch of gray fog and covered himself with a cotton quilt.

Suddenly, I heard prayers, and when I opened my eyes slightly, I saw the star that belonged to Fingel shining brightly red.

"Troublesome," Bao Lie muttered, manipulating the gray mist to retrieve a talisman left behind by his original self.

At the same time, in Fingel's heart, the majestic and mysterious voice of Mr. Fool resounded: "Granted."

“Yes.” Fingel suppressed his headache and casually rummaged through the materials for the bestowal ceremony. Fortunately, he had brought a lot of things with him, so he didn’t need to go back.

After barely managing to set up the ceremony, Fingel obtained a talisman—a talisman that could steal EVA's soul!
"Thank you, Mr. Fool! Praise be to Mr. Fool!" Ignoring EVA's critical gaze, Fingel activated the spell, using the spiritual energy he had regained after his nap.

The projection in the server room vanished instantly, and an ethereal, illusory soul, invisible even to ordinary hybrids, floated out of the server case in a bizarre manner.

Fingel hurriedly used another secret technique to help Eva's soul merge into her restored body, as the pain in his head was about to overwhelm his sanity.

Finally, darkness descended, and in the last second before Fingel lost consciousness, he saw it—Eva had finally opened her eyes and was rushing towards him anxiously.

Great.

I'm sorry, it took me a full ten years to come and pick you up.

It was him; he arrived too late.
