[key]
Andrea's masterpiece, the initiator of Ifrit and Valentine's current situation.
It can maximize human potential and "realize" it in a very short time to create war weapons that meet the requirements.
The price is unspeakable pain, from body to heart, deep into the soul.
No matter how severe the torture is, it cannot compare to the torture caused by a [key].
And this thing won’t kill people. [The key] will maintain the subject’s vital signs and keep them awake so that they can better feel the pain…
Sublimated through endless torture, the spirit and soul are thus upgraded and achieve transcendence.
There are "gods," "behemoths" or "evils" in the continent of Terra. They got this name not because of their hard work, but because of their inheritance.
To put it crudely, it is the "blood theory".
This is helpless, but it is also true.
The [Key] can allow ordinary people to gain extraordinary power in a very short period of time, becoming a heavy hammer that breaks the bloodline wall.
It's just that the price of picking up this hammer is too great for people to ignore or even stay away from.
So Kelsey was wondering, is there a way to figure out the ingredients of the [key] and find the key inside that can allow people to advance to transcendence?
This thing is naturally not as important as the antidote for ore disease, but on the crisis-ridden continent of Terra, Rhode Island's power is indeed too weak.
If there is an opportunity to create a super soldier serum, then you should seize it.
After all, the antidote for mineral sickness was created from scratch, and it’s not available yet...
And the [key] is already in your hands, you just need to optimize it and remove the negative effects.
Starting from nothing is much harder than going from one to two.
Once the goal is determined, the next step is to experiment.
As a result, half a year has passed, and the cracking progress of [Key] is still at the same starting point.
It’s not that Kelsey can’t do it, it’s that this potion is too damn evil.
It hardly reacts with any substance and is more inert than inert gases. She is like a cold queen who looks down on anyone of the opposite sex who wants to have a relationship with her and ignores them.
Except blood.
[Key] can be assimilated by blood, the process is quick but not violent, and the reaction is extremely thorough.
Any blood will do, animal or human. It can even react with blood that has been coagulated for a long time, making it as fresh as when it was just taken out.
Fantastic.
However, Kelsey did not experiment with the blood of deep-sea hunters. After all, they cannot bleed on land.
So the experiments on [Key] so far have reached a dead end, and no one knows how to take the first step.
But who is Kelsey?
The genius cat who is forever seventeen years old!
Are you stumped by this kind of question?
So she began to use her special abilities to find answers.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t look for it. If you look for it, you’ll find a big one...
The indescribable thing from Agor almost came along the network cable and killed Kelsey.
Kelsey stopped thinking the moment she realized Him, and then she was surrounded by an almost fainting calmness and countless dreamy and harsh silences, and it took a long time for her to return to normal.
Even now, she could still feel whispers from afar from time to time.
Fortunately, the intensity is very low and does not affect normal life.
From then on, Kelsey kept the [key] and gave up the idea of continuing research.
If you want to go deeper you have to go to Agor, which is not necessary.
If it weren't for Alty's sudden visit, she might have forgotten the existence of this thing.
The very familiar slight tremor in the skull and the drizzle in the ears also reminded Kelsey of the questions in her mind at that time.
That Andrea...
Is he really the developer of [Key]?
————————114514————————
Kelsey didn't know the answer to this question, and she didn't want to use her abilities to find the result.
Since [the key] is inextricably linked to that person, Andrea must not be simple either.
However, according to Helmer, the mad researcher was shot with a blunderbuss on the night Valentine escaped, with the bullet hitting the back of the head.
She didn't know if it was Valentine who did it.
This kind of question does not require the use of "omniscient" ability.
Now looking at it, whether Andrea is really dead needs to be questioned.
If she is not dead, is Rhine Life continuing to create gods? Are more [keys] being produced?
And [the key] is inseparable from the deep sea...
Could it be that she...
At this point in his thoughts, Kelsey suddenly felt dizzy. It came violently and went away quickly, and the discomfort dissipated in just two breaths.
The world around my ears also came to life, returning to the human world from the quiet abyss where death disappeared.
This also made her hear a second breath in the room.
Light and soothing. It was just suppressed deliberately. The owner of this breathing should have been a little hurried, but he didn't dare to disturb himself at work, so he had better stand obediently at the door.
She should still be rubbing her fingers with her head down, right?
like a child.
Kelsey thought so, then glanced at the instruments and hospital beds in front of her that were crushed by Mon3tr, and turned around.
She has returned to the ward from the beginning.
"shadow."
The girl standing at the door was only as tall as Amiya, and as thin as she was. The flaxen hair is long to the waist, slightly curved, and looks very soft.
The bangs in front of his forehead were pinned with a hairpin with the Rhodes Island Fortress logo, and the operator uniform he wore was a bit too big, like a men's style.
She looked like a little girl who didn't study hard and ran away. She wanted to find a place to rest, but she turned around and met the boss of Rhode Island, a nervous group.
"Well……"
Shadow uttered a syllable and glanced to the side with a slightly embarrassed expression.
Of course, this embarrassment is not because of her new appearance.
Kelsey was not surprised by this and could even recognize her as the head of the Supervision Department at a glance.
Shadow was embarrassed by his dereliction of duty.
Because Alty directly touched Kelsey, she and PRTS didn't notice it at all.
It wasn't until the two of them started chatting that she discovered that her boss was almost stolen.
Why did a chair suddenly appear behind Alty at that time?
She was the one who sent it there.
…
Fortunately, Alty really wasn't hostile, and Kelsey didn't start a fight with her.
It's just that Mon3tr's reaction was a bit big, and he almost overturned the ward.
These losses should be counted on yourself...
There are also dereliction of duties at work.
No matter what, PRTS is just an AI. Kelsey can at most let a few anti-virus software have fun with it.
What about yourself?
Shadow began to tremble all over when he thought of the handle held by Kelsey.
"Your salary is gone this month."
The Queen of Rhodes finally sealed the punishment.
But it made Shadow sigh in relief.
It’s just a month’s salary…
"There's still one for next month, and the next month after that..."
"ah?"
"A total of six months' salary will be deducted."
"Wow!"
Shadow cried.
