After I V-brother Zheng 50

Unfortunately, there are some things... or rather, inside information, that he doesn't know.

For example, after the Eighth Herrscher is destroyed, her body and the Herrscher core extracted from her body will be sent to Mebius for modification.

This task will be completed by Dr. May, Kevin, and Alicia together.

The latter two will certainly not participate in research and development projects, as this is not their area of ​​expertise.

But he and she were the security force escorting the 'raw materials'.

And at the same time, he is also Dr. Mei's bodyguard.

Yes, this is undoubtedly a very suitable job for a 'pure warrior'.

In short, tonight, three Heroic-level Fusion Warriors will gather inside the First Research Institute.

They will each perform their duties and work together to bring about the birth of the eighth divine key—the key of consciousness, Feather Crossing Dust.

Speaking of which, the task of creating the Divine Key should have originally been undertaken by that legendary woman named 'Vilvie,' who claimed to be the greatest magician of this century.

Unfortunately, due to her overly imaginative ideas, after the completion of the third, fourth, fifth, and second Divine Keys, starting with the sixth Divine Key, Velvey lost control over the creation of Divine Keys due to interference from the higher-ups of the Firemoth.

God knows what those people felt when they saw such a huge locomotive.

Currently, the sixth divine key—the Creation Key: Black Abyss White Flower—and the seventh divine key—the Destruction Key: Heavenly Fire Judgment—have already been completed in other departments within the Firemoth and were put into actual combat before the outbreak of the 'Eighth Honkai Impact'.

And the holders of these two Divine Keys are none other than Alicia and Kevin.

As for the first divine key that appeared at the end of this era in the original trajectory—the Key of Revelation: Void Treasury—even its raw material… namely the core of the first Herrscher of this era, the Herrscher of Reason, is still sealed.

Therefore, after witnessing the power of the Eighth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Consciousness, and confirming from multiple sources that the Honkai calamities are occurring more and more frequently, in addition to...

'Aponia'

This heroic, mind-sensing fusion warrior from Twilight Street was forced to undergo a super-transformation surgery, which granted him power that could be described as the 'natural enemy of mankind'.

Therefore, the higher-ups at Moth Chaser panicked.

The horror of the 'precepts' terrified them.

Therefore, they are eager to acquire a trump card to counter it as soon as possible.

The first thing that came to mind was naturally the 'legacy' of the Herald of Knowledge who had just died in this era.

Although the latter was destroyed by Aponia herself, at least... well, in the understanding of those self-righteous mediocrities, the two are 'the same type' of ability.

So, someone who possesses this weapon, even if they can't defeat Aponia, should at least be able to contend with her.

If it were used by another psychic fusion warrior, would it have a synergistic effect?

These were things that the higher-ups at Moth Chaser were anxiously anticipating.

Accustomed to having complete control over power, interests, wealth, and even the course of events, they are unwilling to have a nun who can foresee the future and manipulate people's hearts standing above them.

Clearly, in this era, collapse is the most dangerous thing to be wary of.

People will not stop fighting and wasting their time.

In short, it was under these circumstances that...

"..."

"..." × N

"Hey~?"

Inside the First Institute, in Möbius's office.

At this very moment, amidst a jumble of documents, sits a swivel chair.

Qin Yu was sitting in this chair.

A crowd had already gathered around him.

"Di~"

Mebius casually picked up the remote control on his desk, turned on the air conditioner, and set the temperature to the highest setting without hesitation.

There's no way around it; thanks to the presence of a certain noodle-eating maniac and pure-love warrior who hasn't completely turned into a poker face yet, the temperature in the office has plummeted.

The thermal insulation suit he was wearing wasn't very effective.

Mebius is actually alright, after all, she is already a Hero-level Fusion Warrior.

But Dr. Mei, as an ordinary person, and Qin Yu, who was forced to leave and then return, suffered more.

At this time...

Should I say, "We meet again"?

Mebius fiddled with the air conditioner remote in his hand and said these words to Qin Yu in a very amused tone.

Upon hearing this…

"It's not necessary."

Qin Yu calmly replied, "We're not familiar with each other."

"..."

Mebius, who was taken aback by the other party's blunt retort, raised an eyebrow slightly.

Seeing this...

"Oh my, it seems there's quite a story between the two of you."

Beside her, the pink-haired girl with a pair of pointed, elfin ears wore a curious and gossipy expression.

She smiled and looked at the office's occupant. "Dr. Möbius has reached this age too?"

"Tsk~"

The person involved clicked their tongue impatiently, "Alicia, don't gossip here, this little guinea pig..."

"It seems you still don't know how to speak properly."

Qin Yu interrupted Mebius's words.

At this moment, the latter's dislike for the former was quite blatant in his gaze.

Möbius frowned.

She had seen too many similar looks in her eyes before.

But the emotions expressed by the man in front of me were somewhat different.

In the past, Mebius had often been met with disdainful looks from others.

But often, there is also an emotion called 'fear' that those people try their best to hide.

Now, however, they cannot perceive it.

It was as if the man in front of him wasn't disgusted by a terrifying monster, but genuinely, simply disgusted by some of his own words and actions.

For a time...

"Hey, hey, hey, don't fight, don't fight, wouldn't it be better if we all got along peacefully?"

Seeing that the atmosphere between Qin Yu and Mebius was getting increasingly awkward, Alicia quickly tried to smooth things over.

It can only be said that she truly deserves to be called the foremost social terrorist of this era; she is incredibly outgoing and friendly.

Previously, after she first saw Qin Yu standing by the roadside, she also stopped the car on her own initiative.

At that time, her overly unconventional behavior forced the entire night convoy to a complete stop.

Because, as a Hero-class Fusion Warrior, Alicia is the lead caravan for this escort convoy tonight.

Her sudden stop caused Kevin, who was guarding the coffin of the Herrscher of Knowledge's body alone in the cargo compartment of a military truck in the middle of the convoy because he was worried that the cold air he unconsciously emitted would frostbite Dr. Mei, to think that they had encountered a nighttime enemy attack. He grabbed the Judgment of Heavenly Fire and rushed out.

Then, upon closer inspection...

Good heavens, Alicia is talking to a complete stranger she's never seen before.

Then, for no apparent reason, they pulled the other person into the car as well.

To be honest, although Alicia was Kevin's senior in the combat order of the Firemoth, he really wanted to ask: Do you know that we are currently carrying out a classified mission?

Seriously, it was a close call... The heavily armed soldiers in the following convoy almost opened fire.

Fortunately, Dr. May did not ride in the same car as Alicia, otherwise... Just thinking about the mysterious person sitting behind his beloved, and the fact that she had been assassinated by other ambitious people before, gave Kevin an immense headache.

He really couldn't keep up with Alicia's pace.

at the moment……

"So, why did you bring him here again?"

Still wearing a white lab coat, Möbius habitually crossed his arms and frowned as he said, "I just kicked this guy out of my place who was eating for free."

Her words are very aggressive right now.

But this time, Qin Yu was too lazy to retort.

Dr. Mei, who was standing to the side, spoke for the first time, saying, "I'm curious too."

She looked at the pink-haired girl, "Alicia, have you discovered something?"

Chapter 8: Manipulated by the 'Ancestors' (Physics)

As a typical social butterfly who is extremely skilled at handling interpersonal relationships, Alicia's ability to read people's expressions and moods is undoubtedly far more refined than that of everyone else present.

Therefore, even though she herself is not a mental perception type fusion warrior, she can still see many things that others would hardly notice from the details of the words and actions of the people she is paying attention to.

Just like tonight...

Previously, she had a hidden attraction to good looks, and when she first met Qin Yu, she only thought he was a handsome young man who could barely be rated as good.

Apart from that, there are no other noteworthy features.

However, just after she rolled down the car window and showed her face...

"!"

The obvious surprise on the other person's face piqued her interest.

Yes, Alicia is certainly very confident in her looks. After all, even after more than 50,000 years, she still dares to call herself a 'girl as beautiful as a flying flower' in the future.

Within the Fire Moth, there were already quite a few people who were attracted by her appearance.
