Chapter 13: ARC Nocturne

## Heliopolis Life Sciences

In 2000, the world was hit hard by the second Houkai War. With the global economic turmoil, many companies went bankrupt, but many seized the opportunity to become leaders in the industry. Heliopolis Life Sciences from Europe is one of them.

The company advocates the creed of "Science Heals All". During the panic period after the second Houkai War, the founders of the company invented a variety of anti-Houkai drugs that benefited countless patients. In the following 10 years, Heliopolis Life Sciences developed rapidly and became a well-known pharmaceutical company.

After achieving great success, Heliopolis Life Sciences began to conduct in-depth research in the field of genetic medicine. As shown in its creed, the company continues to explore various cutting-edge technologies to treat them with radical and even ethical problems. This also makes the company's wind evaluation quite controversial.

The dual success of Heliopolis Life Sciences in science and business is also largely due to the close cooperation between the company and the Schicksal Organization. But the specific cooperative relationship between the two remains a mystery.

## Heliopolis Life Sciences Shenzhou Branch Industrial Zone

The Shenzhou branch of Heliopolis Life Sciences is a large-scale pharmaceutical industrial district located in the suburbs of the northern edge of Tianqiong City.

The industrial zone was established before 2014 through the trilateral cooperation between Shenzhou, Heliopolis Life Sciences, and Schicksal, was completely completed at the end of 2014. Affected by the preferences of the founders, the buildings in the industrial zone have a strong Egyptian style.

As the implementation location of the humanitarian aid program "Ankh" initiated by Heliopolis Life Sciences, the industrial zone has been inaugurated in 2014 and has been continuously producing and synthesizing anti-Houkai drugs, which are shipped to China and even the Far East.

Living area:
The daily life area of Heliopolis Life Sciences employees. In addition to dormitories, there are plenty of daily life facilities.

Garden area:
The transitional space between the research institute and the living area.

Research Institute Area:
The working area of scientific researchers. There are strict entrance and exit restrictions and guards.

Core Building (Pyramid):
The administrative building with a pyramid shape is located in the center of the entire industrial area.
A large number of research files and management documents of Heliopolis Life Sciences are stored in it.

## Medical assistance project "Ankh"

The second Houkai War brought a huge disaster to all mankind, sounded the alarm about the survival of civilization. Many countries around the world suffer from poisoning, billions of people have been displaced, and suffered from Houkai diseases in subsequent secondary disasters.

In order to extend a helping hand to the people suffering from the collapse, Heliopolis Life Sciences announced that it will provide support to the people affected by the disaster in 21 countries around the world. This humanitarian aid project was named "Ankh".

The humanitarian assistance of the project mainly includes:

1. To provide vaccines and special medicines to citizens infected by Houkai.
2. Provide free clinical treatment for severely ill patients with Houkai.
3. Provide psychological intervention services to survivors of the Houkai disaster.

In order to be able to transport drugs to the disaster-stricken areas in time, Heliopolis Life Sciences has established industrial bases with large-scale production functions in some aid countries. The industrial zone located on the edge of Shenzhou Tianqiong City is one of them.

## Stigmata Experiment in Tianqiong City

File sequence S-RR-0025
Stigmata, the most precious heritage in the human blood.

The mark is not a product of natural evolution, but a miracle of pre-civilization biotechnology. There are still many unsolved mysteries of its principle and mode of operation.

Before the end of the former civilization, they inoculated a complex genome of Houkai antibodies in the embryos of a few offspring. These genomes will build a stigmata on the human body, that is, the stigmata. Humans with stigmata have stronger resistance to Houkai and manipulation, and can show all kinds of incredible powers.

But unfortunately, with the inheritance of human lineage, genes continue to mutate and exchange. The originally complete stigmata gene finally separated. Once the puzzle is disrupted, the meaning of the pattern no longer exists. Therefore, although every modern person carries the stigmata gene in their body, there are only a handful of people who can express stigmata naturally.

The Schicksal Organization used artificial means to imitate the stigmata, and used it through acquired implantation. But this technique is full of flaws and dangers, and it is just a poor imitation.

Under the enlightenment of ■■■■■■■■, our research has made great progress. Now, we already know how to activate and recombine the hidden stigmata fragments in human genes through artificial intervention. This process is extremely difficult. Those who cannot bear it will die and even become ■■■■■ but those who survive will have the power to survive the Houkai.

The cost is very high, but it is also worth it. The current activation progress is still slow, far from the expected number. We plan to experiment in a densely populated city ■■■■■■■■.

## Fusion Warrior CM-014 Observation Record

File Sequence MANTIS-014-MR
This file collects in detail the trajectory of the Fusion Warrior of the pre-civilization era serial number CM-014 in human history, and analyzes the influence of this Fusion Warrior on the culture of a specific region

2100 BC
The target appeared in the southern part of Shenzhou, guiding the local tribal heroes to defeat the awakened Judgment-level Houkai beast "Chiyou".
Now we can only confirm the authenticity of this incident through the excavation of the Chiyou site and the restoration of the myth of China.
