Chapter 1253

In short, Dr. MEI had long known that she was just a "shadow" projected from the main world.

And after realizing that her world was just a "bubble universe," MEI agreed to the cooperation invitation proposed by the "successor of the Moth of the Fire" in the main world—that is, the "World Serpent."

At the cost of this entire bubble universe becoming a "tool," it was allowed to be sealed and preserved by the other party.

It was very clear that Dr. MEI agreed to the cooperation with the "World Serpent."

And this world, whose lifespan had originally ended, was able to be preserved to this day.

And in this long time, Dr. MEI had also been thinking about ways to allow this bubble universe to survive.

"Of course, I know this is not a decision people would make 'under normal circumstances'... everything I have experienced might not seem worth it to you compared to just dying."

Dr. MEI sighed slightly: "But you will not be able to deny—the conclusion I finally reached through 'thinking' indeed has the value of helping you."

Perhaps to show sincerity, Dr. MEI also indicated that she was willing to completely open up her mind and let Senti probe her thoughts.

Senti snorted, unable to help but complain in her heart: "She's acting quite like it now..."

"Before I came, I don't know who was radiating that 'despair'~"

If it were anyone else, Senti's sarcastic words would have definitely slipped out.

It was only because the target of the complaint was changed to Dr. MEI that Senti restrained herself a little, only complaining in her heart.

"... To be fair, she didn't lie to us... wait!!" Halfway through, Senti reacted abruptly:

"I said don't call me Senti anymore! I'm not some little kid!"

MEI chuckled: "Then... is it better to call you 'Hua'?"

"You... I..." Senti was furious.

Compared to Hua, that was even worse than Senti.

Actually, in her heart, she quite liked the nickname Senti, but out of face, she repeatedly emphasized that she didn't like it.

And such a Senti truly added a touch of fun to the serious plot.

However, the players were still quite surprised.

At the same time, they understood the emotion of "despair" that MEI had before.

After all... upon learning that she was just a shadow that would eventually perish... anyone would feel despair, right?

But at the same time, the players were also creeped out by MEI's somewhat "perverted" willpower.

The willpower of others in this bubble universe had been completely worn away under long-term confinement.

Only Dr. MEI persisted, and it seemed she had seen a glimmer of hope in long-term thinking!

Now, she could still communicate normally with Kiana and the others, and propose cooperation!

"Alright, since you said that was a 'transaction'... then you should know better than us what kind of 'tool' that so-called 'World Serpent' plan is using this place as, right?"

"Hmm, I know very well..." MEI nodded gently:

"After the Stigmata Project is launched, those existences that cannot be completely eliminated in an instant—the 'born Herrschers,' they will be sealed here until the Stigmata Project is completely finished."

"That is to say, this bubble universe has become a place of exile for Herrschers... that is, Miss Yayi, Kiana, and the others..."

After learning this conclusion, Miss Yayi and the others fell into silence.

Before this, they had also learned about the "new face" of the Stigmata Project through Miss Yayi's narration.

And precisely because of this, they were also convinced of their helplessness regarding the current situation.

Seeing this, MEI didn't rush to urge Kiana and the others, but instead comforted them softly: "It's okay, I can understand everyone."

"For you, this change came too suddenly."

"I won't force you to trust a stranger, but in my view... 'believing in me' is your only way to break the situation."

"As long as we join hands—you will be able to return to the main world, and my bubble universe will also have the opportunity to be saved."

After saying these words, Dr. MEI left alone, leaving time for Big Yaya and the others to discuss.

Because she had entered the "Elysian Realm," Miss Yayi also had some understanding of Dr. MEI, so she was the first to express her views.

Although the history of the bubble universe and the main world might have many discrepancies... but after the brief contact just now, Miss Yayi felt that this Dr. MEI was not much different from the Dr. MEI she knew.

At least, the fact that Dr. MEI could accept the cooperation of the "World Serpent" and press the pause button on the entire bubble universe was no different from the one she knew.

This extreme "rationality" that made people somewhat unable to accept... no comment.

However, from a human perspective, Dr. MEI could still be regarded as a friendly party.

Plus, Miss Yayi and the others currently had no other choice, so... it seemed they could only cooperate with Dr. MEI.

As a result, all three indicated that they could try to cooperate with her.

"But before that, I still have some doubts that I need to ask her clearly."

"For example, where did this bubble universe come from, and how did she get involved with the Stigmata Project?"

The three sought out Dr. MEI again.

And at this moment, she seemed... to be "soothing" Senti's emotions?

"You still haven't figured it out? Does that matter really look that strange?"

Senti crossed her arms and said unhappily: "What do you think?"

Seeing this, Dr. MEI smiled and explained: "In the final analysis, I am just an ordinary person, so it is only natural to feel despair in that situation."

"And... there was no other person, or another belief, just 'existence' alone could make me believe without thinking that everything still had hope."

"As for why that despair disappeared after noticing Li's existence..."

"This is precisely the fundamental reason why many people are willing to accept my command—"

"What they need is not a 'leader who never feels despair,' but an 'organizer who can immediately climb out of despair'."

Senti: "What does this have to do with me?"

Dr. MEI: "Nothing, I just wanted to point out the difference between myself and a certain clumsy man."

"Ancestor Kaiwen?" Senti suddenly remembered something important when she said this, so she reminded: "Let's get this straight—"

"You helping us now is equivalent to going against 'Ancestor Kaiwen'~"

Dr. MEI: "What if this doesn't matter at all?"

Senti: "Huh??"

As the Herrscher of Sentience, Senti could clearly feel that the "doesn't matter" Dr. MEI said was truly "doesn't matter."

This left her not knowing what to say for a moment.

However, Dr. MEI quickly gave her explanation—

In her view, even if she successfully helped Miss Yayi and the others return to the main world, that was also a situation "that could be tolerated" in the plan.

In other words—if he were "Ancestor Kaiwen," then he wouldn't mind.

At this time, the barrage in the live broadcast room was discussing extremely enthusiastically.

And the object of the discussion was naturally Dr. MEI.

In the game, MEI's appearances were extremely rare.

The players' only understanding of her was just a shallow description in the words of others.

Now after a brief contact, this woman MEI made the players feel admiration, but at the same time, somewhat scared??

Just as Miss Yayi said—her extreme rationality was truly somewhat hard to accept.
