Qin Yu narrowed his eyes, a deep golden light appearing in his pupils. "I don't think these scum have any reason to continue living."

"Let's begin the 'spring cleaning'!"

Chapter Fifty-Five: Shadows Under the Light

As Qin Yu's 'friend', Alicia was the first to know that there was a 'minefield' in his heart.

What the former didn't know was that after learning about this fact, she had secretly mentioned it to Mebius.

This is the fundamental reason why the latter never referred to Qin Yu as a "white mouse" again.

This change occurred well before Mebius officially joined the team.

It should be said that if this incident hadn't happened, Qin Yu might not be on the same side as Mebius now, and wouldn't regard each other as 'partners' or 'allies'.

In other words, it was precisely because of Alicia's thoughtful mediation that the two of them did not part ways due to a minor misunderstanding.

However, some misunderstandings can be resolved with words.

But some truly disgusting facts...

"well?"

Alicia knew that no one could stop Qin Yu today.

and so……

"How about I take charge of the rescue mission?"

Inside, she said this after Mebius had spoken first.

And in response to this...

"..."

Qin Yu wasn't stupid; he could see it.

As a member of her own team, Alicia's decision to take on the mission was not an act of 'escapism' because she disliked killing.

If she were truly avoiding the important issues and prioritizing her own comfort, then she wouldn't be the Alicia who embodies her "true self."

and so……

Alicia's true purpose was to prevent Qin Yu from seeing certain people and things that he absolutely could not come into contact with during the upcoming operations.

Over the past few days, she has gradually come to understand Qin Yu's personality.

In the latter's mind, there has always been a benchmark that can be called 'priority'.

In other words, the more people he values ​​or cherishes, the more likely he is to cross the line of self-restraint in a fit of rage.

Just as Qin Yu perceived himself, he was an ordinary person who suddenly gained extraordinary power.

This is actually a very 'dangerous' thing.

Therefore, even if Alicia doesn't say it to his face, she is very clear about it herself:

“If Qin had only seen the horrific state of the ‘stranger,’ he would still be angry, but at least he would have been able to maintain basic rationality.”

“But what if he were to witness someone he knows directly… like right now, Blanca’s daughter being persecuted…”

Perhaps, in the original future trajectory, the destruction of the Mu Continent wouldn't require the Ninth Herrscher to intervene.

more than this……

Alicia, whose 'identity' is special, is even more worried that Qin Yu will become a Herrscher.

It was precisely because of these unlikely but still probable bad outcomes that Alicia did not try to stop Qin Yu from taking the inevitable 'purgation' action.

She simply wanted to use whatever methods she could to keep the situation within a bounds that wouldn't harm innocent people or allow Qin Yu to 'hurt her'.

in this way……

"Alright, the rescue mission is your responsibility."

Qin Yu could somewhat see Alicia's good intentions, so... he chose to believe her.

Trust this 'friend' who is so worried about you.

and then……

"After the list of people involved was released, it was handed over to Rita and her team to 'clean up' it, leaving no one behind."

"Just tell me the result when it's all over."

After saying this, Qin Yu did not stay in the room any longer and left alone.

Watching his figure disappear through the doorway...

"Thank you!"

Blanca, a mother herself, said gratefully.

"Thank you!"

Knowing the true meaning of Qin Yu's final instruction, Alicia murmured to herself.

then……

"I am sorry."

Yearning for hope and the future, she also felt helpless at this moment, "You have seen such an imperfect world on your own journey."

"but……"

Alicia's eyes were resolute, "It will become what we hope for, a true eternal paradise..."

"Right?"

******

That afternoon, Qin Yu didn't inquire too much about the details of Alicia and the others' actions.

Instead, he ordered [Lotus], who was in the Danma world, to secretly teleport another golden figure inside the dungeon.

Then, by projecting his own consciousness, he remotely controlled the latter to go on a rampage in the dungeon, constantly pushing towards lower levels.

In the process, they devoured one monster after another, turning them into strategic reserves for the Terracotta Army.

For example: fire-breathing hellhounds, mermaids that can confuse adventurers with their illusory voices, moss giants that can launch parasitic seeds... and so on.

He even used a golden statue to devour a floor master.

[Two-Headed Dragon - Anfispina]

Then, continuing downwards...

Qin Yu's target is the Cannon Dragon, a massive monster that dwells inside the '58th floor' and whose breath attack range is measured in kilometers.

And it was precisely while he was deliberately distracted by other things...

Mu Continent, within the city of Hawaii.

"This is the hospital, right?"

Mebius stood across the street from a tall building, his jade-green snake eyes slightly narrowed.

Two other figures were following her.

Firstly, there's Alicia, who, although currently dressed in casual clothes, can switch into her combat suit at any time.

And the other person...

"According to the information provided by Miss Rita, the target of our rescue is being held on the seventh basement level of this building in front of us."

This is a terracotta warrior that has transformed into the 'Kempfa' fighting stance.

Then she calmly reported, "According to the investigation, recently, because Mr. Hen... who is the biological father of the rescue target, occasionally visits his daughter, the higher-ups at this hospital have gone to great lengths to hide their true intentions."

"The explanation they gave to Mr. Hen was: Your daughter underwent emergency surgery and is now suffering from severe side effects. She is currently in a coma and it is unknown when she will wake up."

"But in fact, the target of the rescue had already awakened and had been forced to cooperate with some of the current employees here in personality simulation experiments."

"However, whenever Mr. Hen arrives, the people here inject or administer medication to the rescue target..."

"enough!"

Mebius's face had turned quite ugly.

She even had to take several deep breaths to calm herself down.

then……

"Alice, let's go in and rescue them."

"And then..."

She glanced at the expressionless, somewhat rigid female terracotta warrior beside her, and said, "Just carry out the orders you've received."

Regarding this...

"of course."

The female-shaped terracotta warrior, with a calm expression, said, "We will definitely complete the mission 100%."

After a brief conversation, Möbius walked straight across the street.

Alicia, who had been silent all along, followed suit.

Normally she's cheerful and outgoing, but now she doesn't want to talk.

Chapter Fifty-Six: The Corpse is Speaking

Hawaii City Hospital has a very good reputation.

In recent years, this medical institution has not only received a large number of patients suffering from 'Honkai disease', but has also launched a series of benefits that waive many medical expenses.

The general public praised the medical professionals here, saying they truly embody the spirit of compassion and benevolence.

and so……

During the outbreak of the 'Eighth Honkai Impact', Mebius performed an emergency super-transformation surgery on Gretsch, who was unfortunately affected by the memetic attack released by the Herrscher of Knowledge, turning the little girl into a Fusion Warrior. After that, her biological father transferred her to this hospital for recuperation.

As for why Qin Yu, whose origins are clearly 'unknown,' was allowed to remain in the First Research Department, while Gretchen, who is 'an acquaintance with him,' was transferred to another location...

Because this was Hen's decision.

Having become a fusion warrior early on, he knew that those who underwent the super-transformation surgery would always face unpredictable side effects, so... he didn't want his daughter to experience the same thing as him.
