Collapse, women's clothing strategy Qiyana, then

It's a little late today, and Jingliu might be confused or even worried. If I tell her the specific situation here, she might run to ask the train crew that hasn't loaded their Star Core Essence yet.

Even if I begged, it wouldn't have made a difference.

After a while.

Bai Yan frowned.

Why haven't we entered the hyperdimensional space yet?

Take a closer look!

Something's not right. This feeling is distant, like I have the key, but the door is still far away.

Moreover, he couldn't move and could only wait for the door in the distance to slowly push in!

Nearby, people in white coats had already put on gloves, and some had begun to adjust the equipment.

They were already prepared for the experiment, but they needed to match the data with the new prototype.

"The gems of desire are ready."

"The adaptation check of the body's destructive energy is complete. Everything is normal—no, it's exceeded expectations!"

"The body's physiological indicators are all normal."

"All testing instruments are operating normally."

"Wait a minute, why is it a man?"

"Stop asking questions, start the experiment right away, or we'll both be fired if we slow down the progress."

"As for gender, does it matter? If we succeed, we become Herrschers, and we all have to keep it a secret as he wishes. If we fail, we die. What's the point of worrying about it?"

When the lab's chief spoke, everyone fell silent and simply got to work.

The staff in white coats came and went, carrying out experimental preparations in an orderly manner.

However, Bai Yan was already drenched in sweat.

Now you're telling me I can't immediately enter the hyperdimensional space?!

Based on my intuition, I'm afraid I won't be able to get in once the experiment starts.

Bai Yan's face flushed red, and for the first time, he felt a sense of despair.

I wasn't this desperate when I was sent to see Otto as a child.

"Could it be because someone else lit the mosquito coil?"

It's possible that the unseen being might not approve of a ritual that wasn't performed by the person themselves.

This is a huge problem!

Time passed by, and the experimental preparations were completed.

Bai Yan tried to break free of the restraints again, but it was clear that the materials on the experimental table were specially made to prevent accidents in the laboratory due to insufficient strength.

Come to think of it, they even captured Wendy, an A-rank Valkyrie, how could they not have thought of this?

Bai Yan felt even more desperate.

Originally, he thought that with Bronya by his side and Raven chasing after him, even if the former transformed into a Dark Duck Guardian, it would still be a three-way battle.

I never expected that chasing the raven would lead me to Cocolia's hiding place!

The location where she ambushed happened to be near a dock, and a few kilometers further inland was the laboratory.

Could the problem lie with the raven?

But how could she know that Cocolia was lying in ambush there? Didn't she know that this was playing with fire?

There are some hidden reasons that Bai Yan is unaware of. Obviously, Raven would not make such a decision; it is clear that someone is behind it.

In other words, Cocolia was not actually well hidden. World Serpent not only knew where she was, but even allowed her to do certain things.

This layout...

Did World Serpent have this idea before Kevin's return?

Given that they had the first move and were already in a difficult situation, how could a group that couldn't even figure out how to steal a Thousand Realms One Vehicle have such attention to detail?

But no matter how much Bai Yan speculated, it couldn't change the fact that the gemstone was about to be implanted.

The doctors in white coats got everything ready and began moving the coveted gem.

One of them walked slowly over carrying a glass dome, as if carrying a full bowl of hot soup, afraid of spilling a single drop.

Bai Yan no longer dared to struggle.

This wasn't because he had lost hope, but because he was afraid that those people, in order to maintain stability, might turn around and inject him with a tranquilizer or force him into a coma, then he would really have no chance.

At this moment, the gem of desire is in place.

Despite wearing protective suits and masks, the medical staff in white coats couldn't help but hold their breath at that moment.

The leader carefully and slowly opened the glass cover.

The next moment, the radiance emanating from the gemstone instantly enveloped the entire room.

The leader nodded to the others: "Let's begin."

Only then did everyone begin to breathe again, exhaling heavily through their masks as they worked diligently on the implantation.

The longing for the gemstone to be extracted using a sophisticated method was followed by the removal of Bai Yan's stockings, revealing her smooth, fair legs.

Implanting the gemstone was a long process, but from the very beginning, Bai Yan felt like his body and mind were being destroyed.

"Ahhhh!"

Pain, endless agony, surged forth like a tidal wave, and Bai Yan cried out in agony, unable to control himself.

He couldn't even control his screams; the extreme pain instantly destroyed his sanity.

Stop! Stop right now!

Who can help me?

Master Kagami! Teacher Ragnar! Sister Rita!

Faces flashed through his mind, but the instinct deep within his soul told him that these people were beyond his reach.

No one will come, it will not stop, it will not succeed...

Gradually, the pain seemed to be fading away.

Perhaps he's about to lose consciousness?

Is it the body's self-protection mechanism?

But no, I can't sleep yet. If I sleep now, I'll have absolutely no chance to sleep!

This was Bai Yan's only remaining thought at that moment. (Three similarities to Lingqi (II) Ersi Bar IV)

"Vitality signs are weakening."

"The gem fusion stage has been hindered."

"All indicators are within safe limits..."

"Is it going to fail again?"

"As expected, although this body is highly adaptable, it has some mechanistic incompatibilities as a Herrscher body."

"So, it can only be used as a container again?"

"No, let's wait and see. After all, this process is not yet complete, and there may still be changes."

As Bai Yan listened to these conversations, he tried to maintain his consciousness by diverting his attention.

But this was just a drop in the ocean; he was already on the verge of falling into a coma.

"We must...hold on..."

Book 1: Chapter 44: Changes in Hyperdimensional Space

As the pain subsided, Bai Yan finally regained a little consciousness from her breakdown.

Sweat completely soaked Bai Yan's body; there wasn't a single dry piece of cloth on his body.

Despite this, beads of sweat continued to appear, densely covering the skin and dripping down.

He gasped for breath, as if he needed a lot of oxygen to repair the mental suffocation.

Endless pain still engulfed his body, but now he could finally peek out and enjoy the fresh air above the sea.

Bai Yan looked down at his legs.

Unconscious.

Meanwhile, the terrifying bright red lines resembled metal wires inside electrical components.

They started at Bai Yan's knees and gradually spread to every inch of his skin.

This is not a positive process; it foreshadows the decay that is eroding Bai Yan's body.

If it were a human with low adaptability to Honkai energy, the laboratory would now have one more suicide soldier.

The doctors in white coats had finished everything and were now intently watching the various instrument screens.

Their complexions weren't much better than Bai Yan's, clearly indicating that the feedback from the instruments wasn't optimistic.

During this time, Bai Yan tried to regain his senses.

Let's try again to see if we can enter the hyperdimensional space.

As long as we can get there...

The decay was still spreading, and both Bai Yan and the people in the laboratory remained silent and focused on it.

Everyone hopes that Bai Yan can survive and even successfully become a Herrscher.

If the experiment succeeds, everything will be alright.

however.

stomping on...

Cocolia suddenly returned, looking slightly nervous.

Her loud voice could be heard even before she entered the room.

"What's the situation?!"

The doctors in white coats looked at each other, unsure how to respond.

Cocolia entered the room and went straight to Bai Yan, ignoring the details and staring at the lines on his thigh.

Her face fell.

The chief reluctantly approached Cocolia.

"us--"

"Okay, I understand. You guys continue. I'm going out for a bit."

She ignored everything and left without looking back.

Their steps were quick, as if they didn't want to stop for a moment or look around.

The doctors in white coats seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, at least Cocolia hasn't taken her anger out on them yet.

Keep your eyes on the instrument.

In fact, everyone had already reached a conclusion.

Failed.

Although it is not over yet, judging from the current situation, this outcome can be confirmed.

This is a very bad result.

Like Wendy, Bai Yan will become a useless disabled person, existing merely as a vessel for someone who desires gems.

Inside the life support pod next to her, Wendy's eyes remained closed, lifeless.
