The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Usually, it would greet me when it arrived, right? Is it malfunctioning or stuck today?

However...

To Alicia's utter surprise, Prometheus was neither malfunctioning nor a malfunctioning machine.

"Warning! Warning!"

"Danger has occurred within the base! All personnel are to immediately proceed to the designated evacuation area! Warning—Warning!"

"Anyone with relevant information is urged to immediately go to the following locations to search for suspicious individuals!"

As the alarm sounded, the Prometheus supercomputer went into overdrive...

Something happened at the base?

Has Sirin attacked?

After confirming that she was not hallucinating, Kiana immediately thought of Sirin.

However, she dismissed the idea in just a moment.

There is no other reason...

If Sirin had been there, this base would have been destroyed, at least half of it.

But for now, it's just sounding the alarm, which shows that the situation isn't too serious.

"Shall we go take a look?"

"Hmm! Let's go take a look. I have a feeling... something's not right."

Alicia breathed a sigh of relief, then winked at Kiana, and the two set off in the direction indicated by the alarm.

The goal is to quickly ascertain the nature of the danger and then resolve it...

...

It happened shortly after the alarm sounded.

Inside the Moth of Fire base, in an elegantly decorated corridor, a girl wearing glasses, work clothes, and a white lab coat was picking up scattered documents on the ground.

She had dark circles under her eyes and looked quite tired.

Because Dr. Mebius has been researching the Herrscher who suddenly appeared, Klein's workload has increased dramatically.

However, as the doctor's capable assistant, she would never slack off; on the contrary, she would do her best to complete the work.

After spending quite some time, the data has finally been organized.

All you need to do is take them to the PhD for verification...

"Klein, right?"

Just as Klein was busy picking up the documents that he didn't believe were scattered on the ground, a gloomy male voice suddenly came from behind him.

Without thinking, she turned around and found that several members of the Fire Moth had somehow appeared behind her.

"Are you...are you looking for the doctor?"

Klein organized the documents, then held them to his chest, looking somewhat bewildered at these complete strangers.

She could vaguely recall... these people seemed to have provided Dr. Mebius with their physical data in order to become stronger and be able to undergo surgery to become fusion warriors.

However, after screening, the doctor determined that these people were not suitable for surgery because the success rate was too low, so he dismissed them.

Now...are they planning to harass me?

"No, no, Mebius sent us to take you there. Let's go."

"Huh?"

Klein looked at these people with some doubt, then made a rather bold decision: "But the doctor told me to take the documents over quickly, she didn't tell me any of this, why...why didn't you have the doctor notify—!"

"Tsk, shut up! You little lackey!"

Klein's words came to an abrupt halt with a roar.

Seeing the man suddenly approaching, she wanted to back away, but the excruciating pain in her chest made her powerless to retreat.

Blood gushed from the pierced heart...

Klein reached out blankly to touch her chest, but she was too weak to even do such a simple thing.

Finally, blood-red light enveloped their vision...

In her final moments, all she could see were daggers being swung at her.

...

The smell of blood wafted from afar.

Although it was only a trace, Kiana, with her Herrscher's powerful senses and perception, still realized...

What a big deal!

"Alicia, did you notice?"

"Yes, it's over there! Let's go quickly!"

The two sides then sped towards the other end of the corridor, encountering many members of the Fire Moth in a hurry along the way.

They also seemed to have arrived because of the alarm.

As everyone arrived, a shocking truth was revealed to them.

"This...is terrible."

"Isn't she Möbius's sidekick? How did she end up lying in a pool of blood..."

"What kind of deep-seated hatred could lead to so many bloody wounds? Is this a determination to kill?"

A murder has occurred within the base; such a thing is truly bizarre.

In any case, members of the Fire Moth are rarely seen.

And once that happens, the situation becomes extremely bad.

"What's going on!"

After spending a great deal of effort to finally reach the place where the smell of blood was coming from, Kiana and Alicia were both stunned.

They had countless questions for the girl lying in a pool of blood, but didn't know where to begin.

The noisy corridor reeked of blood, and the whispers among the crowd made the scene appear extremely chaotic...

However, with the arrival of Kevin and the other heroes, the situation was brought under control for a time.

But once Kevin takes action, the achievements he can make will go far beyond that.

"The person has been caught."

Two hours after the murder, Kevin, with his superb criminal investigation skills and the help of Prometheus, successfully arrested the murderer.

They are all members of the Six Lives of the Fire Moth.

When they were discovered, these members were engrossed in their daily lives and chatting, showing no awareness of having made a mistake.

When asked why they did this, the answer they received was...

"We...we don't know either! Anyway, there was a strange voice in our ears telling us to do this, that doing so would fight the Honkai, so..."

Faced with the questioning from the entire Moth of Fire, these people put on a rather innocent expression.

He vehemently claimed that he was unaware of what was happening and that he was innocent.

Frankly, to commit murder right under the nose of surveillance cameras, and to be so self-righteous in the face of irrefutable evidence.

Kiana even had a feeling that she had further explored the bottom line of humanity.

"What will be done with them next?"

Looking at the oppressive atmosphere in the reception room, Kiana pondered for a moment before glancing at Alicia beside her.

"...If what they say is true, Kevin might make an exception and let them leave the Firemoth, and then punish them according to the rules of the outside world."

“Rules…” Kiana felt somewhat unwilling. “I don’t think Mebius will accept them.”

However, the words had barely left his mouth...

"Hahahaha! Don't worry, Herrscher!!!"

An arrogant and unruly voice came from the side.

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, Kiana discovered that Qianjie had already strode in at some point.

His arrival was never a good thing.

This time, it was clearly no exception...

"I thought that woman was dead, huh! I didn't expect it to be her little lackey... In that case..."

Qianjie clenched his fists and loosened his muscles: "Then it's my turn to take the lead!"

This is a shamanic act...

It's clearly going to be a fight to the death.

Kiana glanced at Qianjie, then turned her gaze to the several bound criminals.

"you you you!"

Clearly, these people know Kevin's character, which is why they are trying so hard to deny it.

But now I've encountered a thousand tribulations...

Begging for mercy would only hasten their death, so naturally they were terrified.

Having figured this out, Kiana turned her attention to Kevin, the leader of the Fire Chasers...

"Kevin, I'm going to crush these bugs right now. You're not thinking of stopping me, are you?"

It's clear that Qianjie's real intention wasn't what it seemed. Helping Klein get justice was just a side thing; his true purpose was most likely to have a life-or-death battle with Kevin.

Kevin looked at Qianjie quietly, and after a long silence, he finally sighed.

“You can take action, but only after they have left the organization and received the appropriate trial.”

"What!"
