My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

"Was she affected by the flood from another world...? So what should she do?"

Looking at Akizuki Airi, who was still unconscious, Xia Qing nodded. Hearing Airi's words, Xia Qing thought for a moment and said:

"After things are settled here, if there's a chance, let's send her back to her original world."

However… she could be used to refine the NEST-S setting.

After finishing their conversation, Xia Qing and Hei hope began discussing the setting of NEST-S, the organization known as NEST-S in The King of Fighters.

"Past, present, future... For some beings that transcend the limitations of three dimensions, there is no difference between these three; every moment is the present for that being."

The beginning and end of time are not immutable, so let's decide this: this world is the world I once traversed.

Looking at Xia Qing, Hei hope thought for a moment and then offered a suggestion. Upon hearing this, Xia Qing nodded. In this world, passion has no foundation.

However, if we replace the concept of character cards, it shouldn't be difficult to create a foundation.

After glancing at the still unconscious Airi, Xia Qing and the Black hope System joined forces to begin building the NEST-S base.

The bubble space that Yog gave to Xia Qing was actually more valuable than all of Xia Qing's current abilities. The person with authority in that bubble space was equivalent to a creator god.

Xia Qing freely modified the materials within the space, and conducted many experiments in that space.

After randomly selecting one from thousands of bubble spaces, Xia Qing named it the NEST-S Domain.

Construction of the internal structure of the NEST-S organization began within the space.

Although Xia Qing and Hei hope had not studied the actual internal base of the mysterious organization in detail, they had imagined the general scene, functions, and where they would be located.

The three of them worked together to create a semi-finished product that looked somewhat presentable.

After placing Akizuki Airi into a harmless nutrient solution, the group returned to the real world and began discussing other settings.

Regarding the arrangements made for this world, at Hei hope's suggestion, Xia Qing chose to follow the fabricated experience of Xi'er. Although some parts were modified, it was not a major problem.

Xia Qing has already arranged the timeline for this world.

Several years ago, the genius physicist Kiana transmigrated to this world and became a high-ranking member of Faust, an organization hidden in the shadows of this world.

Subsequently, due to the plans of Sirin, the chairman of the Dream Group, he lost his memory and returned to the Honkai world with Sirin's soul sharing the same body.

Then, due to the anti-entropy experiment, Seele traveled to this world and subsequently joined Passion, which began to develop rapidly with Italy as its base.

After a period of rapid development, the world situation changed to a three-way standoff between three organizations that ruled the world from the shadows: Passion, Dream, and Faust.

However, the balance of power among the three powers was eventually broken by the arrival of a god, Goenitz of the Celestial God Clan, who held the KOF tournament in the Otherworld.

Finally, in the final stage of the competition, Goenitz appeared, intending to use the power of the participants to bring the giant serpent to earth.

Around the same time, in the Americas, the once dominant organization, Faust, began to have its internal ambitious figures vying for power after the departures of the brilliant physicist and Evolto.

At this time, an organization called NEST-S appeared, and through various means, successfully caused the Faust organization to split.

Ultimately, the NEST-S organization decisively defeated the divided Faust and became the new hegemon of the Americas.

Orochi was eventually sealed away, NEST-S eventually replaced Faust, and Seele returned to the Honkai world after experiencing a series of events.

These plot ideas are set in the past of this world, while the current timeline is shortly after Seele left this world.

After discussing with the Black Hope System to finish writing the past storyline, Xia Qing began to write the new storyline.

Xia Qing was in charge of the Dream's storyline, the system was in charge of NEST-S's arrangements, and Hei hope was in charge of the Passion's storyline.

The night passed quickly amidst their focused work. As dawn broke through the darkness and the sky turned a pale white, Amuro Tooru finally ended his surveillance on the organization's side.

Inside the castle, Xia Qing, Hei hope, and the system had completed the initial setup of the "plot" for this world.

"Phew, it's finally finished."

Looking at the whiteboard in front of her, which was almost full of writing, Xia Qing stretched. The whiteboard contained her own arrangements for the plot of this world.

On the surface, he is a high school detective, but in reality, he is Shinichi Kudo, the boss of the Black Organization who was overthrown and forced into a resurrected state.

Rugal Bernstein, the current boss who seized the position of Shinichi Kudo's organization boss, is actually after the power of the Heavenly Gods.

Goenitz, who is currently sealed away, and Orochi, who is waiting to be revived but whose divine power will be taken by Bronya in the future.

On the surface, he is a phantom thief, but in reality, he is a member of the mysterious organization NEST-S.

NEST-S, which transcends the mystical with science and implements the human ascension to godhood plan, aims primarily to restore the gods to the heavenly realm of reality.

Xia Qing nodded as she looked at the various scenarios unfolding before her, and just then, the system's voice suddenly rang out:

"Everyone, Akizuki Airi's mind has begun to recover, and she should wake up in about ten minutes."

Upon hearing these words, Xia Qing and Hei hope exchanged a glance and instantly understood each other's intentions.

Unable to contain themselves, they exchanged knowing smiles and began preparing to put into practice the lines they had discussed earlier.

"Hmm...it seems kind of interesting. Wait, Seele can think like that? If this keeps up, Seele's going to go astray..."

As Seele silently watched all this without controlling her body, she thought to herself that she and Black Seele were not without similarities.

The translation is: Inside a laboratory within the base of the NESTS organization in the Bubble Space, two figures are observing the experimental questions in front of them.

"Is she the first experimental subject 9-3165 who perfectly matched the bloodline transplanted by that technology? This body is really weak."

A deep male voice rang out at that moment, and a tall man looked at the incubation chamber in front of him and said this.

Inside the incubation chamber, Akizuki Airi's consciousness was gradually returning. Hearing the voice beside her, she subconsciously tried to open her eyes.

Chapter 376: Akizuki Airi: Then there is only one answer, I will pledge my loyalty to the organization!

"ZERO, although he looks weak and doesn't seem to have much power, the potential hidden within this body makes this test subject's future promising."

Given time, she might become a threat to our existence.

Beside that man, a figure with a completely different style from the composed Zero spoke thus.

...ZERO?

As Akizuki Airi gradually regained consciousness from her coma, she subconsciously recalled the name she had just heard.

"The power that has just been generated in this experimental subject is far too weak."

"Treating this type of experimental subject through tissue culture seems less effective than directly cultivating mass-produced experimental subjects that have no potential but still possess considerable destructive power."

Xia Qing, disguised as a member of NESTS codenamed 00 from the KOF worldview, frowned, seemingly quite dissatisfied with Ai Li's performance.

"These two concepts are not the same!"

A flippant yet confident voice rang out at that moment.

Upon seeing the voice, Xia Qing, who was playing the real ZERO, and the system, who was playing another ZERO, Mio, speak at the same time, they both uttered the name of the being that appeared: "Lord Igniz."

"Don't be so formal, but this test subject wasn't originally intended for combat."

Igniz, wearing the standard NESTS combat suit, waved his hand and said this.

In the previously established NESTS setting, the undisputed leader is the human who uses the power of technology to surpass the gods—Igniz, the master of NESTS.

Below Igniz lies the true ZERO.

There are two real ZEROs in NESTS: Zero, played by Xia Qing, and Mio, played by the system.

Beneath the master of NESTS, Black and White ZERO, is a clone and stand-in of ZERO, also codenamed ZERO.

As for Igniz, who is currently on the field, he is actually played by Xia Qing.

"Lord Igniz is right. We have no intention of using this experiment on the battlefield."

The girl's voice rang out at that moment, and both ZEROs turned their heads to look behind them.

Behind them, a girl in a white research coat stretched.

The girl plays the role of a researcher, and the actress who plays her is Hei hope.

Upon hearing Hei hope's voice, Xia Qing asked in a low voice, "Not planning to join the battle?"

“That’s right. Throwing him into battle would be the greatest waste of his life. The real value of this experimental subject is that it allows us to observe the principles behind the power of the Heavenly Gods.”

While everyone was talking, Akizuki Airi in the incubation chamber had almost fully woken up.

???

Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going?

Akizuki Airi felt a little panicked; it seemed she was involved in some serious incident.

What were those people talking about? What experimental subjects? What about going to war?

My name is Akizuki Airi, I am 16 years old, a first-year student at Seifu Academy, I am not in a relationship yet, I have a regular schedule and no bad habits.

My life was supposed to go by "normally," but when I woke up, I found that I seemed to have been kidnapped.

And it wasn't your average kidnapping; I was apparently kidnapped and taken to a mysterious organization that seemed to be set up like in an anime, where I was used as a test subject.

Akizuki Airi instinctively tried to breathe, but the moment she did, Xia Qing's oxygen supply failed due to the emerald green nutrient solution being drawn in.

Akizuki Airi was choked quite badly by the nutrient solution in the incubation chamber and began to struggle to get out.

Seeing this, ZERO's lips curled into a slight smile. He stomped his right foot lightly on the ground, and in an instant, the incubation chamber where Akizuki Airi was located exploded, and nutrient solution began to splash everywhere.

It's less of a nutrient solution and more of plain water with a different color; this stuff has virtually no effect on improving human physical fitness.

Xia Qing hadn't specifically studied nutrient solution making in the library in Yog, so she couldn't make a real nutrient solution for Akizuki Airi.

"Hello, 93165, welcome... to your new life."

Looking at the bewildered Akizuki Airi in front of him, Xia Qing, who was still playing the role of ZERO, spoke in a low voice.

"93...165? Or is it a freshman...what is a freshman?"

Airi Akizuki pretended to know nothing, but in reality, she was quite frightened.

No matter what, Akizuki Airi is just an ordinary 16-year-old girl, and she really doesn't know what to do in this situation.

"Don't be afraid, 93165. From the moment you survived and stepped out of the incubation chamber, you have already shed your identity as an experimental subject."

Xia Qing slowly spoke, manipulating the illusion of Igniz that he had just condensed, and at that moment, Hei hope also chimed in:

“We at NEST-S treat our own people quite well. Since you have survived, you are qualified to join NEST-S.”

Hearing this, Akizuki Airi still couldn't help feeling scared, but she felt a little more at ease than before. These people who looked so powerful should keep their word, right?

Judging from what that older sister said, does that mean I don't have to die?
