The fact that the World Serpent Lord personally assigned this task suggests it's no simple mission.
Mei's first thought was the [Stigmata Project].
She was currently worrying about how to deal with Kevin's "Stigmata Project".
Upon hearing Raven's words, Mei immediately declared that she would follow Raven openly and honestly.
Raven was completely unconcerned about Mei's stalking.
I should say... she was actually quite happy about it?
This made the players sigh again.
They really look forward to Mei returning to the Hyperion.
then……
On the edge of the Sahara Desert.
Mei's "tracking" plan is proceeding smoothly.
Although it was described as stalking, the two seemed more like they were traveling together.
When the 807 people arrived at the mission location, and Raven explained the mission's details, Mei was dumbfounded.
"Raven, are you sure that in a place like this where there's no signal, someone from the World Serpent organization would need you to deliver a... cell phone?"
Correct!
The raven's mission was to deliver a cell phone to someone...
At least on the surface, it looks like a mobile phone.
“If you’re asking for my opinion… I think it is indeed a mobile phone, and a regular deliveryman could deliver it,” Raven said, handing the quest item to Mei.
"What, you want to take it apart and check it?"
It seems that the raven is completely unconcerned about the task assigned to it by the Lord.
After a moment's thought, Mei drew her sword and cleaved the "delivery box" in two.
Raven: “…”
"To be honest, I'm starting to understand Kosmo's feelings..."
This tendency to draw a sword at the slightest provocation was truly giving Raven a headache.
"But let me make this clear first: since you're no longer a member of the World Serpent, I won't say anything more to you."
Mei: "But you don't seem to mind letting me know certain clues."
Raven: “…”
After a long silence, the raven finally sighed.
"Mea Yi..."
Mei: "Hmm?"
Raven: "I'll tell you anyway, actually..."
"Project Stigmata can be considered complete."
"Although I don't know the specifics or principles, what I'm doing now is probably the final touches on Project Stigmata."
……
Well, Mei didn't return to the Hyperion.
But the story unfolded exactly as the title suggests.
The main focus is on developing in the direction of the "Stigmata Project".
but……
What exactly is the Stigmata Project?
………….
Chapter 444 Awesome, they've already reached the moon!
"I'll tell you anyway, actually..."
"Project Stigmata can be considered complete."
Mei was stunned when she heard the answer.
After Sky City, World Serpent never conducted any more large-scale experiments.
But without saying a word, you're telling me that the [Stigmata Project] is already coming to an end?!
Mei couldn't help but be surprised.
The raven shook its head with a wry smile:
"To be honest, I was also very surprised when I was told this... just like you are now."
"Yu Tu, you should have heard of this name, right?"
According to Grey Serpent, while Jackal was making his attempts, Feathered Rabbit was also rearranging the blueprint for the Stigmata Project in his own way, in a completely different manner.
"As I just said—the plan is now in its final stage."
Mei: "So, what exactly did she do?"
The raven didn't answer. Instead, it picked up the "phone" and quickened its pace, counting the faded house numbers along the street.
1982, 1983, 1984...
Finally, the raven found its target and pushed open the door.
An elderly man in a jilaba robe emerged from the courtyard, which resembled ruins, and accepted a cell phone from a raven.
Then, the old man skillfully put on his headphones, dialed a number on his phone, and silently put it in his pocket.
Finally, the old man quietly sat down on a cement block.
"What is he doing?" Mei asked.
Raven: "Waiting to enter a dream"
Mei: "Entering a dream?"
Raven: "Yes, literally, [dreaming]."
"Using the World Serpent's technology, he can enter his own dreams anytime, anywhere."
Mei asked in confusion, "But what does this have to do with the Stigmata Project?"
Raven smiled without saying a word, gesturing for Mei to continue watching.
Then, Mei was surprised to discover...
The old man was gradually enveloped in a purple glow, and in the next moment, he disappeared from the spot.
A carbon-based life form, a living human being, lost its unitarity in real space due to some incomprehensible and therefore seemingly magical technology.
At this point, the raven offered its explanation.
"In Yu Tu's words—[His dream and the Sacred Mark space have merged into one 々〃]"
"You're a Herrscher; perhaps you can verify its authenticity yourself."
As he spoke, the raven slowly walked toward the spot where the old man had vanished into thin air.
Then, she took out her phone and swiped it twice. Immediately afterwards, a familiar-looking portal appeared in front of the two of them.
"Weren't you going to follow me? This fan will last for about ten minutes. If you want to follow me... feel free~"
With that, Raven stepped into the portal.
Mei was left alone, staring blankly at the...familiar-looking door.
Over the past hundred days and nights, the similarly textured doorway has become an integral part of Mei's daily life.
Paradise in the Past...
On that journey toward the past, she crossed countless such spatial portals.
The doors in the Land of Bygone Days are like a pair of weathered eyes, observing the joys and sorrows of the past fifty thousand years.
And at this moment, standing before Mei was a spatial portal similar to the paradise of the past...
But it only made Mei feel a sense of emptiness, devoid of both joy and sorrow.
"...In any case, there is no point in standing still."
In the end, Mei decided to go in and investigate.
"World Serpents... let me see what you're really up to."
"Identity Project..."
……
Seeing this, the players became a little nervous.
