Cocolia puffed out her chest, squeezed Losaliya's head down, and agreed confidently. Lilia: "Lilia also wants a new dress and comic book." Cocolia: “Buy!” Xing: "Come to think of it, I also want to buy some new clothes, and also, I want a sharper weapon." Cocolia: "Buy clothes! Buy until your closet is full! Make weapons! Make them for you with the best materials!" Losariya: "Then I want a remote-controlled airplane toy!" Cocolia: "Buy... Uh, you don't need to buy this, let the technical department make it for you." Cocolia took the children to the restaurant and made various promises along the way. So, when it was time to eat, the three children served their most beautiful and generous mother, Cocolia, very attentively. Some people massaged her shoulders, some picked up food for her, and some poured drinks for her. Cocolia enjoyed her lunch in a drifting mood.

…… But the happy days did not last long. On a snowy night, Losaliya and Lilia developed a fever. "It's confirmed. It's an Avalanche Erosion Syndrome attack." "Heal them!" "We have done our best, Lady Cocolia. There is actually no cure for erosion. Even though there have been some results from the previous experiments, they can only alleviate the symptoms at best. I know this is hard to accept, but Lady Cocolia, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for too long. You have to be mentally prepared." "…How much time do I have left?" “It’s hard to predict, but it’ll be three to five years at most.” "Okay, do your best," Cocolia had a blank expression. She took one last look at Losaliya and Lilia, who were sleeping on the laboratory table with many medical tubes inserted into their bodies, and then left the laboratory quietly. Arriving at the lounge outside, Cocolia sat down on the bench, raised her head, covered her eyes with her arms, and sighed uneasily. 'The purpose of the X-10 experiment is to find a way for the human body to coexist with Houkai energy, so as to save the children who have been corroded by Houkai energy and are being taken in by Cocolia in this country.' 'Unfortunately, the experiment failed. Cocolia lost Seele and Bronya's trust, and then lost those children one after another... Now, the Cocolia Orphanage, which was once a safe haven for poor children, only has Bronya, Xing, Losaliya, Lilia and Seele who is stranded in the quantum world.' 'No wonder she was so anxious that she risked her life to attack Thunder Ryoma and even created the Herrscher at all costs. Because the Herrscher was the only possibility for the X-10 experiment to succeed. If she couldn't complete the experiment and get the treatment, she would lose Losaliya and Lilia next.' 'Even the hateful ones have their own difficulties and shining points. Is this what a two-dimensional character is?' 'Or is this just human nature?' The Angels thought for a while, then gave up trying to figure out Cocolia's true nature. It is in the interests of the Angels to whitewash the current Cocolia Angel. As for whitewashing the original Cocolia, I'm sorry, the Angels don't have that kind of Madonna heart, and a simple "good death" is enough.

"mother?" While Cocolia was distracted, she heard Xing's low voice calling her with some worry. Cocolia lowered her arms, opened her eyes, and saw Xing standing beside her with a frown on her face. Cocolia smiled softly, reached out to touch Xing's face, and said softly: "It's so late, why are you still awake?" "Don't ask when you already know the answer! So, what happened to those two idiots? Is it serious?" "It's nothing, I just ate too much during the day and my stomach is upset..." "Do you think I'm a child?" Xing rolled her eyes and put her hands on her hips, her furrowed brows revealing her irritability and impatience. Cocolia's smile froze. Helplessly, she gently hugged the girl in front of her and soothed her in a gentle tone: "They are really fine. They will be back to full health in two days." "…How much time do we have left?" "To be conservative, three years. But don't worry, I already have a lot of ideas. I will definitely find a treatment method within three years. Believe me, mom!" "Ah." Xing nodded gently. After feeling the enthusiasm of Cocolia's mother these days, in this suddenly gloomy emotional atmosphere, Xing realized more than ever the burden and love of Cocolia for them. Thinking of this, Xing bit her lip, and finally stroked Cocolia's back and comforted her: "In fact, no one has ever blamed Mom. Elizabeth, Faberling, Luluan... Everyone knows that it was Mom who saved us. You have done enough and worked hard enough. So, what if... I mean what if, even those two idiots... Don't blame yourself, because they will definitely not blame you, Mom Cocolia." Xing tried hard to dig out words of comfort from her mind, but unfortunately she had never done such a thing before, so the more she spoke, the more confused she felt. She could only express her thoughts the best she could. Cocolia was stunned for a moment, her eyes sparkled, and finally she smiled with a soft glow: "Thank you, Xing. Mom is very touched." "Who, who, who... who needs you to be moved! No, I mean, anyway, you just need to cheer up!" Xing's face immediately turned red, and she replied awkwardly but with concern. Chapter 39 Gray Snake: I discovered your true face! "Do you think Cocolia is a failure?" "Ok?" "You try so hard to hold on to everything you have, but you keep losing it. What you cherish is also pushed away by your own hands. This kind of life is really terrible! Right, Gray Snake?" "Hmm? I came to ask you why you suddenly destroyed the base of Walter's experiment and destroyed all the experimental data and records. Did you forget to share the copy with me?" On the floating communication screen, the gray snake with a pitch-black background could be seen, with its mechanical eyes emitting a cold and unclear red light.

Cocolia didn't care about the unfriendly attitude of her ally. She stroked Xing who was taking a nap on her thighs, stared at her cute face, and said without raising her head: "The X-10 experiment failed miserably. I lost Seele, and was about to lose more children. I was so anxious that I had no other options, so I decided to trigger artificial collapse and create a Herrscher experiment myself in Changkong City... and I failed again." "Cocolia, don't bother talking about other things! I'm talking to you about Walter's experiment!" "Gray Snake, Gray Snake, what have I done to make you disrespect me so much?" "what?" Gray Snake on the other end of the communicator was a little confused, and his thinking circuit was stuck for a moment. No, normally, shouldn't Cocolia make a request with a smile, ask for some technical benefits or something, and then exchange experimental data? Now it seems so vague and unfathomable. What does it mean? Cocolia still didn't raise her head, letting the communication screen hang in the air. She just focused on styling Xing's hair and said in a deep voice: "You drew me a picture of a successful X-10 experiment. I trusted you and did what you said regardless of the cost. I even persuaded my daughters to become experimental subjects. But so far, all I have gained is loss." "When my experiments failed again and again, you did nothing. When I abandoned humanity and caused artificial collapse to conduct experiments, you did nothing. When I failed again and faced multiple pressures from radicals, conservatives, and even destiny, you still did nothing." "I know that your Shenzhou branch of Shencheng Pharmaceutical has been built recently. With more funds, connections and facilities, you no longer need an ally like me. However, when I was exhausted from dealing with a series of unstable factors and my daughters had an attack of erosive disease... on this worst day of mine, you showed up and asked me: Where is the experimental data?" Cocolia slowly raised her head, her purple eyes were devoid of any emotion, like a cold humanoid machine. And this was something Gray Snake had never seen before. Gray Snake couldn't help but reflect on it. Yes, Cocolia is his chosen collaborator, or to put it bluntly, a tool. But a tool is also a person, with complex emotions. Cocolia has experienced so many bad things, and his ally immediately questioned whether he had really hurt her feelings. And this tool still has a lot of value to be used, so should he comfort her? "Gray Snake, Gray Snake, what have I done to make you disrespect me so much?" Cocolia looked at the screen with an extremely cold expression, but at least in terms of momentum, she was not inferior to the gray snake on the other side. Gray Snake's mechanical eyes flashed, and after weighing the pros and cons, he thought it necessary to understand and comfort Cocolia's bad mood. "I'm sorry, maybe I was too anxious. As you said, in order to better conduct the experiment, I have recently focused most of my energy on the construction and communication of the Shenzhou branch, and failed to take into account the overall situation. I apologize to you." "...I found out where Walter Yang is." Cocolia did not comment on Gray Snake's apology, but just casually gave out a piece of information. The gray snake's mechanical eyes flashed again. "Is that so? I understand. If the leader is still alive, then there is a reason for the failure of Joyce's clone experiment. After all, clones are clones. Such power is enough to deal with Valkyrie or Titan, but it is insignificant compared to the real body." Although it was a bit too cautious and not in line with Cocolia's past wild and extravagant style. However, considering that Cocolia's series of radical actions have put her in an embarrassing situation of being trapped both internally and externally, it is understandable that she wants to avoid the malice of Walter Yang, the ultimate power, as much as possible. Gray Snake weighed the pros and cons. He already had most of the data from this experiment. Destroying the laboratory would only make him lose the most recent data. The loss was not serious. Besides, Cocolia might not have destroyed the last part of the data. It was possible that she still had it in her hands, waiting to trade with him. Taking this into consideration, Gray Snake decided not to provoke Cocolia, who was obviously in a bad mood.

"I'm sorry for disturbing you tonight. I won't bother you for now. Let's talk when you have time." "and many more." Gray Snake wanted to cut off the communication, but Cocolia tried to stop him. Gray Snake paused for a moment, feeling somewhat puzzled by Cocolia's current strange state, so he calmed down and said: "Anything else?" "Drugs to treat erosion... I'm not asking to save all the children in the world now, I just want to save Losaliya and Lilia, even if it's just to reduce the pain to a certain extent and buy time... Do you have it?" "..." "The Oceania branch of the Mandate of Heaven is planning to artificially create the Herrscher, hoping to get the gem in their hands. The Mandate of Heaven headquarters holds the Serenity Gem and is also trying to get the Herrscher back. I am still investigating what tricks he and Theresa Apokalis are playing with Saint Freya, which is also the main reason why I did not kill her and take back my daughter." Cocolia threw away some intelligence again. The first two were even absolutely confidential information that Destiny was still in the A section. Even the World Serpent could not detect it in advance. The gray snake appeared motionless on the surface, but was quite shocked inside, with all kinds of speculations emerging in his mind. "Dr. Mobius once said that the greatest strength of human beings is their unlimited possibilities, which also means unlimited growth. Am I too arrogant to underestimate her who has climbed to this position step by step?" "With such a terrifying intelligence network, perhaps the appearances you showed me in the past were all disguises to paralyze me?" 'It must be that she was really close to a breakdown tonight and had nowhere else to turn, so she was unable to wear the mask and showed her true self.' Gray Snake felt that if he could make an expression, the face under the hood would probably reveal a smile of relief. This call tonight was worth it, at least I saw clearly that Cocolia was not a simple person. If I continue to look down on her, it is not impossible that she will trick me someday in the future. Gray Snake reflected on himself and replied in a businesslike manner: "I haven't, but we are definitely trying to do that. If there are any results, I will let you know." "Okay, let's talk about it next time. I'm tired. Bye." Cocolia cut off the call, and then sighed with real exhaustion. 'It was fooled.' 'But robots are hard to deal with.' 'Does he really not have it yet, or is he just waiting for a good price? Remember the Ahumid Bo gene fusion drug that Losaliya and Lilia used at the end was given by the Gray Snake at that time?' "But we don't have anyone in the World Serpent, and we can't do anything to him now." 'Currently, the only known antidote is the HSN-b46 serum, invented by Dr. Machi of Destiny. It has been confirmed by the bosses of Destiny, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent as a drug that can cure Valkyrie. After being improved by Tesla, it can even suppress Sirin back into Kiana's body.' 'Everyone, for the sake of the lovely Losaliya and Lilia, I'm afraid we need to send some people to the Destiny Headquarters. We can't just wait for Maki to defect and then go and rob him like in the original book. After all, we are all involved in this world, and there are already too many uncertainties.' "This is so exciting! I was trying to avoid the archbishop at first, but now I have to actively move towards him. If I mess up, maybe the whole team will be wiped out, right?" 'So, do it?' 'This is the first time in two lifetimes that someone has called me mom.'

"Such a lovely child..." "Well, in life, there comes a time when one has to take risks for something." "Besides, Otto needs to have control over power. We will have conflicts sooner or later. It is inevitable that we will plant a mine around him." "Just try it out first. Besides, we might not be exposed!" 'Then let's do it! '
