NO. 90: Sisters Who Appear United but Are Divided in Heart (Literal Meaning)

This value's fluctuation can still be projected forward about six months; this place should be the third transfer station, senior.

More accurately, it should be the fourth, Adel. The data on obsidian distribution just confirmed, and it doesn't match the projection of current magma flow; it's still in an offset state.

The operation of negative energy isn't stable; it's probably due to that earlier 'accident,' Doctor.

After that accident, the local geological bureau immediately conducted field surveys; the residual negative energy was so low it was barely detectable, but you've also seen this data, Miu... Miu Ersaisi.

"Anyway, we should consider the original values," the girl with hemp-green hair shook her umbrella, "Even if later artificially cultivated to supplement, there should still be differences at each stage."

"We also have to wait for the reference data to be more complete; isn't that just letting those people inspect?" the brown-haired mare said with arms crossed, her eyes looking around full of interest, "But seriously, there probably wasn't such strong negative energy back then, right?"

Right now, Ailisuzhi is clearly in a pit.

At its longest it spans nine meters, depth reaches half a meter, the structure clearly belongs to a demon-type four-toed claw mark.

Thick, sharp three toes in front, the fourth toe extending from the heel curves downward, 'nailing' a roughly circular hole about one meter deep into the ground.

Although this depth is due to the soil being predominant, standing at the edge and taking a glance still gives one a somewhat creepy feeling.

It makes one involuntarily imagine what terrifying form the owner of these footprints must have.

But frankly, this might also be a psychological imbalance caused by the negative energy acting up.

After all, the detector in front of her is showing a markedly excessive negative energy reading.

Previously two observers had stood in her spot, but both retreated due to obvious palpitations; when it came to her, who seems to have a big heart, she carried out the observation completely unaffected.

And according to the local police and forest rangers accompanying the team:

This is one of the footprints left by Bephomos during battle back then.

They even specially marked it with a projection warning line that resists wind and sun.

"Looking at the density of footprints on the outside, I really wonder if I missed out on a share of tourism revenue."

Suddenly appearing countless small squares formed a human-shaped outline, falling to the edge of the pit, accompanied by this amusing remark.

Obviously, this is a certain trainer named Linton who claimed to go to the restroom and was missing for nearly half an hour.

"You only come now? I'm starting to consider developing a medicine for the digestive system, trainer."

"... Trainer, welcome back."

"Master, confirm whether an error has occurred."

Aside from Suzi, it's just communications on the light screen; Chazuo and Bourbon are obviously at different inspection points.

"I'm back, nothing wrong, just got delayed on the way."

"No need to really go after my digestive system, right?" Looking helplessly at the mare below who uttered that dangerous remark, Aomo leapt into the pit, viewing from within his former footprints, "I thought they'd just flatten this land."

Whether it's the mountain team's road roller or directly letting the civil engineering brother of the Source Energy system cast a spell, none would leave these footprints that look so laughable.

"Perhaps just as you said," the hologram of Dr. Rosha interjected, "but that's where it ends."

"Now that we've found the energy index here, the government will directly pressure them to stop."

"That's not bad, though I really didn't expect..." Aomo, having walked up beside Suzi, slightly bent over to examine the screen in front of her, "Do my footprints attract negative energy to gather?"

"The earliest we could detect another batch of relatively inert negative energy, the time matches that day's record." Likewise participating via screen avatar, Muerseisi is actually located on the mountainside of the other side of Bai Mountain.

"Although the nature differs somewhat, under human interference they still adsorb and aggregate."

Together with the two members of the scientific expedition team and Suzi brought by Aomo, they are responsible for exploring the other side.

"There shouldn't be anything specific to the footprints, right?"

"Of course not."

"According to the information gathered by Dael's team from various places, the entire mountain beneath is filled with negative energy of varying concentrations, dormant; the footprints you left back then are of relatively high concentration, but not the highest."

This is also why Aomo initially honestly brought the girls along with the group, rather than directly teleporting to the summit to save time and effort.

The whole mountain needs to be inspected.

Beginning and ending with negative energy, the volcanic geological survey has resumed; the investigation team dispatched by the Federal Government actually confirmed multiple sites of abnormal negative energy aggregation, and then outsourced the development of a negative energy decomposer to Rhein Life Company.

The Federal Government side also reached a temporary cooperation with Rhodes Island Pharmaceutical Company that has both scientific significance and installation significance.

Frankly, this somewhat surprised Aomo.

After all, the mobilization capability of the Federal districts themselves is not bad, and the technical strength of official agencies has never reached the point where they need help from enterprises or companies.

Such cooperation can only be an opportunity seized by Rhodes Island's side.

But even if they intentionally sought it…

The fact that they managed to secure this is already astonishing.

Even Aomo, who isn't particularly fond of political maneuvering, knows that the recent social trend is to suppress companies and corporate development, especially certain trans-regional, trans-stellar interstellar enterprises.

Recently, Aomo was also interviewed by the Frontier Lighthouse Company about the usage status of Beta Devil Thorns, and incidentally heard them vent a lot of grievances about their affairs.

One can only say that the joys and sorrows between companies are not shared; some still struggle to sell their technology, while others can directly cooperate with the government, further boosting their brand and corporate influence.

"Rhodes Island is really becoming more and more like a company——" He had heard Miss Kong utter such a lament a few days earlier.

This left Aomo astonished—what?

Shouldn't Rhodes Island Pharmaceutical Limited be like a company?

You wouldn't really be treating yourselves as a warlord, would you?

Such questions were never actually asked.

Relationships that aren't close will bring many inconveniences, just as he turned a blind eye to the 'abnormalities' of Miss Ling and Miss Muerseisi one after another.

Even if the other party shows exceptional warmth and friendliness, it doesn't mean you can then behave that way in return.

Some people genuinely lack a sense of distance, while others merely pretend to lack it, invading your personal space with an ulterior motive.

The latter are naturally especially sensitive, often casting you a meaningful glance in conversation.

Interacting with intelligent people is inherently enjoyable, but when they have too many thoughts, it becomes a hassle.

So Aomo intentionally kept his distance from Miss Muerseisi.

Even if they were to assign her subordinates' children to help her over there, they would still send someone with Zhouri Ningjing beside them, and that person themselves is even more taciturn and reserved—Chazuo.

Honestly, Miss Miuersaisi's curiosity about me was probably just a passing fancy; the initial topic also came from Miss Hemo, Miss Situoni, and Miss Moer—namely, the 'Ancient Trace Exploration Project' developed by their colleagues at Rhein Life—and it seemed as if she was curious why Miss Ling had so strongly recommended me.

Strongly recommended…… It's hard to imagine the other party in the guise of a salesperson; Aomo naturally felt nothing real about this situation, but when the topic smoothly and naturally spread to his own recent circumstances, he conveniently used Chazuo as an excuse to break away from the topic.

"I always feel that Miss's way of thinking is not quite like ordinary people's; it's a bit troublesome."

"Others' logic starts from the details, whereas she seems to directly oversee from the macro perspective." The little foot on his head let out a more detailed sigh.

"But only Aomo himself could hear that."

"……Does the trainer also have this feeling? 'Friend' told me to talk less with Miss Miuersaisi."

"There is some truth to that, but you don't need to be overly wary; after all, she really does have many secrets she fears being discovered, whereas you are different."

He lowered himself slightly, looking up at this petite horse girl from a closer height, letting that light brown gentle hue meet the gold that people often see as bewildered and empty.

"You'd rather have others understand your secret, wouldn't you?"
