I have no regrets about my 2D world!

She almost never said anything bad about anyone except when she was joking with Bai, but facing this situation, Aponya really couldn't help it.

She knows a lot of knowledge, no matter whether it is useful or not, as long as it is interesting, Bai will tell her from childhood to adulthood.

Among the things Bai talked about, there was a character called the Virgin Mary that left a deep impression on her.

What is a Virgin Mary? A Virgin Mary is someone who can sacrifice her life for a stranger.

Alicia thought she couldn't do it, and she also felt that there was no such person in the world. Even though she had been to so many places, she had never seen a similar person to this day.

After all, it can be said that it is a character that only exists in fantasy, and it is reasonable that it does not exist in reality.

But there is another word that is only one letter different from the word "Virgin Mary" that left a deeper impression on her, and that is called the "Virgin Mary bitch".

Bai had never told her the origin of the name, but she could infer it from some information she learned on the Internet and the characteristics Bai described.

It is clearly just a difference of one word, but the nature is indeed as different as heaven and earth.

A saintly woman can sacrifice herself for others, but a saintly bitch actually makes others sacrifice for herself.

The Aponiya in front of us may have had good intentions, but her actions are almost no different from this word.

As she said, she couldn't give a suitable reason, which only meant that she wanted to do that thing in her heart, no matter which need it was to satisfy, it was ultimately for herself.

If she didn't plot against anyone and simply relied on her existing abilities to save others, then Alicia would naturally not think there was anything wrong with it and would even help her. But the moment she started to plot against others, the nature of the situation changed.

"I understand." Unexpectedly, Aponia did not deny Alicia's conclusion.

She had communicated with Bai more than once and knew what Bai's personality was like. Based on what she was doing now, even if Bai didn't care with his ability, it would eventually leave an indelible mark in his heart.

But...she doesn't mind.

"So I'd like you to keep it a secret."

"What if I don't keep it a secret?"

"Then I won't do anything."

"...Let me guess, since you want Abai to save humanity, you must give Abai reasonable conditions, but you can't do it.

Later, you knew me and thought I could interfere with Abai's decision, so you set your sights on me.

But you should also know that I may be able to interfere with Abai, but if Abai is not a resource, it is very likely that the result will develop in another direction, such as taking me away from this world or something.

So if I want Abai to volunteer, I must be in a certain special state to make Abai feel that saving humanity is the best choice.

I cannot be forced or threatened, and even I must have the desire to save humanity. Only if I am sincere will Abai do such a thing.

But how can I truly save humanity, save those unrelated people? The best way is to let me feel the kindness of those unrelated people.

But under normal circumstances, I rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with those people. If I want to feel their kindness, I either have to deliberately contact them, or their kindness is so great that I can feel it by chance.

Because I am out and about almost every day, the first option is difficult to achieve, so you chose the second option, so that the goodwill of those people is huge enough.

Just like recently, I accidentally discovered something was wrong.

But this is not enough. These people are too insignificant in the whole world. For me, wanting to make their lives better is just a matter of a word, so you must have other plans next.

Hmm...religious, yes, that's the word, they are behaving like religious people now.

Under the banner of salvation, I, as their believer, often appear in the world and do things that are consistent with that name, in order to attract more people to join, until it becomes big enough that I can no longer simply deal with it.

At this time, I naturally went back to ask Abai for help after accepting their kindness. Abai might agree to my request out of softness of heart and complete your desired act of saving humanity.

Is this...right?" Alicia raised her head and looked at Aponya calmly.

"...That's right."

“It seems I’m pretty smart.

I'm not very happy that you've included us all in this plan, but I agreed."

As if she had thought of something interesting, Alicia smiled again.

Chapter 221: Interrupted Date

Aponia's plan was very good, and if she hadn't been discovered, that kind of scene might have really happened. But unfortunately, Alicia was not stupid, and she always cared about things that concerned herself.

With her abilities, if she wants to investigate something to the root of its source, no one in the world can stop her.

Just like today, even if Aponya didn't find her and tell her these things, she had several ways to find the place where the group of people gathered, and with a little trickery, she could get the information she wanted.

If I had received the information under those circumstances, I probably wouldn't have made the decision I did now.

Saving humanity or something, Alicia admired Aponya's idea, because if it weren't for Bai, she would probably be troubled by this problem now.

Of course, no matter how distressed she is, neither she is now nor in the paradise of her past life, she would ever think of calculating against others to save more people.

But now that Aponya has this idea and is still planning it, she doesn't mind intervening a little.

Of course, she would not go back to ask Bai to save humanity as Aponya had imagined. After all, Bai had already done such a thing.

She wanted to intervene and planned to intervene at the end.

People gather together because of a belief, but in the end they may not stick to that belief, even if it is only for a few years.

The group of people might have had good intentions at first, but if they really gathered together to ask her for help, it would be hard to say whether they had good intentions or not.

When that group of people come to ask her for help, she will still agree, but the process will not be as those people wish.

By that time, the world must have reached its final crisis, and there might not be many people left in the entire world. In the end, everyone would go to other worlds anyway. So it wouldn't be a problem for her to speed it up a little, right?

After dealing with Honkai every day, she also wants to take a break.

When the time comes... let's end it with a magnificent finale!

As for Bai...if he finds something, he probably won't refuse to cooperate. If he doesn't find anything, then just consider it a surprise?

With an alternative plan in mind, Alicia even forgot to bring her mask and left the area humming an unknown tune.

Meanwhile, Bai, who had arranged two operations for the bitter Mebius, was spending a long-awaited leisure time with Mei.

Well, it’s Mei’s long-awaited leisure time.

A month or two had passed since the Herrscher incident, and the aftermath had been basically dealt with. After arranging some of the next things, Mei also took a short vacation for herself after a long time.

It just so happened that Bai was free at home, so he and Mei went out for a walk under the pretext of a date.

When it was noon, the two of them randomly chose a restaurant to have lunch and take a short break.

Although I am not physically tired, all I saw in the morning were repetitive things, and I feel a little tired mentally.

Bai put the purchased items aside, took the drink brought by the waiter, and handed one to Mei.

"It's rare that you have time to rest, Mei, and you gave yourself a day off. We've explored the Fire Moth all morning. Do you want to go somewhere else this afternoon?"

"Well, no thanks." Mei took a sip of her drink and shook her head slightly. "With the current situation in the world, most places may not be as good as the Fire Moth. Besides, the Mu Continent with the best scenery is gone. I can't think of any place worth visiting right now.

And even though I gave myself a day off, I actually just took care of today's affairs in advance. If anything unexpected happens, I still have to rush back."

"Well, it seems that we need to make the food more substantial during this period. Otherwise, it would be bad if you lose weight because you are too busy, Mei."

"It would be better if I were a little thinner." Mei couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "Who eats so well every day? If it weren't for the special ingredients you prepared, I'd have become so fat that I don't know what shape I am, considering I hardly exercise at all."

If you eat meat every day and don’t exercise, even the thinnest person will become fat!

"Mei, you are wronging me. I prepared standard nutritious meals. You won't gain weight even if you lie in bed every day. After all, I admire you every day." Bai spread his hands with an innocent look, and then looked at Mei fearlessly.

Mei's face flushed slightly, and she picked up the menu on the table and covered Bai's face with it.

"Stop talking nonsense, there are other people here."

"Don't worry, I'm just watching and won't do anything excessive. As long as you don't make any particularly obvious movements, others won't be able to notice.

Besides, no one here knows us, and even if they did, they would just laugh it off and leave us alone." Bai waved his hand and smiled nonchalantly.

He and Mei are both the type who stay at home almost all day long. The only difference is that he is at home and Mei is in the laboratory. They don't know many people, and not many people know them.

What's more, today is the normal working time for the Fire Moths, and almost no one who knows them is resting.

'Is that what I meant?!'

Mei glared at Bai fiercely, the meaning of her eyes was self-evident.

"Okay, okay, no more jokes then." Bai chuckled.

Mei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll take a closer look when we get back."

Mei paused for a moment, but she didn't glare again. She just sighed helplessly.

Forget it, as long as it’s not seen in public by acquaintances who might be here.

Although the only thing missing from their relationship now is being honest with each other, Mei is experiencing this kind of thing for the first time in her life, so she feels a little uncomfortable. If she is seen and teased by acquaintances, she will still feel shy.

"Oh, never mind. Anyway...huh?!"

Mei was about to say something when she saw Bai suddenly raise his hand and hold down the waiter who came to deliver the food.

"Bai?" Mei was slightly stunned, then her expression became serious.

Bai would not make such a move for no reason, and she did not think there was anything wrong with the waiter's move, so the problem must be with the waiter.

"What a pity! I was planning to take you to the clothing store this afternoon to buy some clothes, but it seems that there is no chance for the time being." Bai sighed regretfully, and with a slight force on his palm, the waiter turned around with his back to the two of them. The face that originally had a popular smile was now expressionless.

"I thought it was just another assassin from some unhinged sect, but it turns out to be a Herrscher."

Chapter 222: The Really Angry Mobius

"The Herrscher?"

Hearing Bai's words, Mei's expression immediately became serious. She took out the communicator and was about to send a message, but Bai interrupted her.

"Don't worry, Mei. This Herrscher is different from the previous ones."

Mei paused for a moment, wanting to hear what Bai had to say.

"This Herrscher is a bit special. You can think of the one I captured as a clone. Its consciousness should have split into a thousand parts, invading various parts of the world and appearing here. The Fire Moth is also likely to have clones of its own.

If you pass on the news now, you will only alert the enemy."

"One thousand copies...then what are their abilities?" Mei frowned slightly.

In the past, no matter how powerful the Herrschers were, they were just individuals, which made it much easier to deal with them. But now this one has been divided into a thousand parts, and it is in the form of consciousness invasion. In other words, apart from the one in front of us, there are actually 999 Herrschers out there?

Judging from the speculation that the Herrscher is becoming increasingly powerful, this might cause serious trouble.

"They have many abilities, including water, fire, ice, lightning, and even flight. They also have telekinesis, but their power output is not as great as that of a normal Herrscher."

"Do those who have been invaded by them have any chance of recovery?"

If only the consciousness was eroded, then the fusion warriors of the Fire Moth might be able to drive out the Herrscher's consciousness and restore the person to his original state, but if the original consciousness is gone, then it can only be completely destroyed.

To be frank, Mei actually hoped that those people were no longer conscious. Otherwise, when dealing with this Herrscher, she would have to consider their safety, and a momentary negligence might very likely cause more casualties.

"Sadly, no."

At least there is no such means in this world.

"...I see."

After getting the answer she wanted but didn't want, Mei's mind quickly calmed down. She stood up without even glancing at the food that had just been served on the table.

"Bai, could you please knock this clone out so I can take it away?"

"of course can."

Bai's palm moved slightly, and the Herrscher closed his eyes instantly.

Mei nodded without saying anything else. She took out her communicator and sent a few messages. Within a few minutes, a Fire Moth car arrived. Several people got out of it and came to Mei. They greeted her respectfully and took the Herrscher away at Mei's signal.

"Sorry, Bai, this happened so suddenly. I'm afraid I won't have time to rest any longer."

After the Fire Moth-Chasing people left, Mei looked at Bai with a hint of apology.

She had agreed to use the day off for a date, but this happened suddenly and she had to go back and prepare.

"It doesn't matter. There will be many opportunities like this in the future. Right now, the affairs of the Herrscher are more important." Bai waved his hand nonchalantly.

His rare date was interrupted, and he was in a bad mood. If the meal hadn't started yet, he would have been unable to resist and dealt with the Herrscher himself.

"Well, then I'll leave first."

No goodbyes were said in the evening, because Mei wasn't sure if she would have time to rest in the evening.
