Transform into Ruan Mei and start from the battlefield of national destiny

Staring at Horhaiya's snake tail that swayed from time to time, Miss Killer sighed in her heart.

After walking for a distance inside the building with Holhaiya, the two came to a flowing lake, and the killer lady's target was sitting in a pavilion built on the lake.

"Ms. Ruan Mei!" Hol Haiya walked over quickly and sat down next to Ruan Mei. She was not overly intimate, but Miss Killer noticed that the tip of his tail was wrapped around Ruan Mei's arm.

"Please sit down." Ruan Mei pinched the feathers on Hor Haiya's head, then looked at Miss Killer and said.

The other party's voice was similar to the image that Miss Killer had imagined in her mind. It was a little cold and distant, and his eyes were still so indifferent when he looked at her, the killer who was obviously here to do bad things.

There is no way to guess whether the other party really does not take herself seriously, or she is too cunning and cannot show her emotions on her face, but no matter which one it is, it shows that the other party is definitely not simple.

Perhaps even if Holhaiya was not here, he would not be able to complete this mission?

Miss Killer sighed secretly in her heart, and at the same time, she followed Ruan Mei's instructions and sat down opposite the small stone table.

"Can you tell me your name?" Ruan Mei asked.

Miss Killer certainly didn't intend to say it, but for some reason, a force made her subconsciously open her mouth: "Ying."

Miss Killer, no, should I say Sakura, her voice doesn't quite match her cold appearance, it's a bit soft.

...?

What's going on... Why did I suddenly speak? And it's the truth?

Sakura was extremely surprised.

"Haha, Ying, what a nice name." Ruan Mei chuckled.

That’s right, the person in front of him is Ying, who will become one of the Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire in the future.

what did you do to me?

Ying wanted to ask Ruan Mei a question, but what she said was——

"Thank you, I like my name very much."

...!

A trace of helplessness flashed across Sakura's eyes, as did fear. The unknown changes made her afraid that she would reveal the thing she most wanted to hide.

"Okay, don't look like you're about to cry. I'm not a bad person," Ruan Mei smiled and shook her head. Her expression seemed gentle, but in Ying's eyes, it looked even more terrifying. "This is just a necessary measure to obtain some information."

"Don't worry, the effect won't last too long, only about thirty minutes," said Ruan Mei.

thirty minutes!

Sakura's pupils suddenly dilated. This world is big enough to tell all the valuable news.

"I can understand that you are afraid of me. It's because of your sister, Ling." Ruan Mei's words made Ying's heart feel like it had fallen into an ice cellar.

She stood up suddenly and cried out, "How do you know Ling?"

"Well, it seems that you sisters have a really good relationship." Ruan Mei did not answer Ying's question. In fact, she only knew from her previous memories that Ying had a biological sister, and that Ying cherished her sister very much and even died for her sister.

Chapter 24 Recruitment

Thirty minutes later.

Sakura sat on the stone bench, motionless, her eyes had lost their luster, and she looked like she had been played with. The reason why she became like this was very simple, because all the secrets she wanted to hide were blurted out at once.

Ying seemed to have transformed into a machine that answered every question in detail and accurately, including her identity, past, family, and purpose...

"The Fire Moth? Is that organization that used to be hostile to Alicia planning to attack you, Ms. Ruan Mei, again?" Holhaiya held his chin and muttered to himself.

Ruan Mei heard the change in Hol Haiya's tone. She turned her head and looked at the feathered serpent beside her: "What are you going to do?"

"Of course, we need to thoroughly investigate this matter, and then, depending on the circumstances, teach those guys a lesson," Holhaiya smiled, a hint of ferocity etched in her smile. "They actually dared to be disrespectful to Ms. Ruan Mei. This is not a sin that can be easily forgiven."

When people are extremely angry, they will laugh. For Hol Haiya, Ruan Mei is her Achilles' heel.

Do you want to take action against the Fire Moth?

The Fire Moth is an official organization that summarizes the worldview of civilizations before Honkai Impact 3rd and resists Honkai Impact 3rd. Although the top leaders of the Fire Moth did a lot of stupid things in order to fight for power, this organization also made great efforts to fight against Honkai Impact 3rd.

Putting aside other things, without the resources provided by the Fire Moth, neither Mebius's experiment nor the subsequent experiments of Velvet, Mei and others could be carried out smoothly - research and development is an extremely expensive thing, and the resources consumed every time those large experimental equipment are started up will be astronomical.

This is also the reason why Ruan Mei gave Mebius a laboratory. In that laboratory, there is a machine that can transform experimental materials.

In the initial research, Ruan Mei was limited by resources, so she developed such a machine that could reverse-engineer most low-level experimental supplies to their untested state. It was the best gift to give to Mebius.

Even if we put aside the experiments, the manpower and material resources integrated by the Fire Moths also played a huge role in the fight against the Honkai. It can be said that although the internal strife of the Fire Moths led to failure, it was also the Fire Moths that allowed humans to hold on in the face of Honkai until the moment the last Herrscher arrived.

So, do we really need to take action against such a major force in the fight against Honkai? Will it lead to unforeseen changes? Will it cause things to develop in a different direction?

All of this... certainly wasn't Ruan Mei's idea.

The colorful world is always dazzling, but it has nothing to do with Ruan Mei.

There are few things in this world that are worth her care. The cocoon leading to imaginary numbers is one of them. As for the study of cocoons, the fire moth is just an insignificant thing.

Life is so tenacious, like a miracle.

Even if there were no Fire Moths, there would still be organizations that would fight against Honkai. What Ruan Mei needed was just this process, the Herrscher that would be born in the process of the confrontation between Honkai and civilization.

Ruan Mei had a subtle smile on her face. She looked at Hor Haiya, whose eyes were filled with anger, and said in a gentle and calm tone, "Just do whatever you want to do. I will support you no matter what. If you encounter any problems or troubles that you can't solve, you can come to me."

With Ruan Mei's words, Hol Haiya became full of energy. She stood up suddenly and went to explore the secret of the organization called Fire Moth hidden behind Ying.

After Hor Haiya left, only Ruan Mei and Ying were left in the pavilion.

Logically speaking, this is a good opportunity, after all, the goal is right in front of them, but Ying doesn't dare to do it. Her fear of Ruan Mei has reached its peak. Some inexplicable and incomprehensible things make Ying suspect that the real powerful one is not Hol Haiya, but Ruan Mei.

"I have no ill will towards you, Ying." Ruan Mei spoke in her usual slightly cold tone.

"Even if I'm a bad guy who wants to harm you?" Ying couldn't help but ask, and then she was surprised because she found that she seemed to be able to speak according to her own cognition.

"I told you, the effects won't last long."

Ruan Mei spoke in a gentle tone, words that made Ying shudder. Her expression didn't change much at all, so how could she be so insightful about her inner thoughts?

"Haha, this expression is really cute. Let me teach you another lesson. Next time you encounter something you don't understand, remember to hide your expression, otherwise... you will be full of flaws." Ruan Mei covered her mouth to hide her chuckle.

"...Why are you telling me this?" Sakura was confused. Could it be that the other party really didn't intend to do anything to her?

"Don't doubt it, what you're about to hear isn't an illusion. Sakura, have you ever thought about leaving the Fire Moth?"

!

"Do you mean, you want to recruit me?" Ying couldn't help but ask.

"I think Mebius may be short of some manpower. Her body is too fragile now, and she needs a bodyguard." Ruan Mei nodded and then stated her reasons.

"But..." Ying hesitated, she was indeed moved.

Following Mobius and being a bodyguard is much better than being a killer. Whether it is safety, treatment, or out of her own will, Sakura actually doesn't want to be a killer who takes other people's lives.

But then again, now that we have talked about the advantages, what about the disadvantages?

Naturally, it was his only weakness, his own sister, Ling.

The secret force he belongs to, Poison Pupa, is well aware of Ling's existence, and they will show no mercy to traitors and their families.

Sakura didn't dare to think about what would happen to Ling if she betrayed the Fire Moth.

As a sister, she couldn't afford to gamble, couldn't afford to lose, and it was even more impossible for her to use the bell as a bargaining chip.

"It's okay. If you're worried about Ling, you can send her to my place."

Ying had become numb to the fact that Ruan Mei could see through her thoughts. She was thinking about the feasibility of the proposal in Ruan Mei's words, but could one person really fight against a global official organization?

It's impossible. No one can do this after all.

If I agree to this proposal, doesn't it mean that Ling will have to hide for the rest of her life?

"Can I think about it for a while longer?" Ying asked with difficulty, her amethyst-like eyes carefully looking at Ruan Mei's face.

"Of course, I don't intend to force you to make a choice. You can think about it here slowly, or you can choose to go back and come to me when you have figured it out. I don't mind."

The treatment was so lenient that Ying couldn't help but believe that Ruan Mei could fight against the Fire Moth.

Ying finally chose to return to the Poison Pupa. She looked back at the ordinary gray brick walls of the yard in a daze and couldn't help praying in her heart.

Chapter 25 Uninvited Guest

The sun had already sunk below the horizon, and a bright white full moon hung in the sky.

Walking in the silvery moonlight, dragging his exhausted body, John returned to his home.

Although he is an official of the Fire Moth and can be directly assigned by the parliamentarians, John actually has little personal time. He is troubled by paperwork all day long and has endless work to do.

It’s hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. The more work you do, the faster you get promoted, but at the same time, the more work you do, the more you doubt the meaning of your life.

For the cowherd John, he didn't want to think about anything now, he just wanted to lie in his bed.

He took out his key and opened the door of the apartment, put down his briefcase, and put on slippers. Just as he reached out to turn on the light in the living room, his fingers suddenly froze and stopped when they touched the switch.

The sleepiness that was originally swirling in my mind disappeared at this moment like the receding tide.

Just because he saw a black figure sitting on the sofa in the living room.

"Yawn - I didn't expect that a big shot like you would get off work so late. I feel a little sorry for you." The figure yawned and said these words in an extremely lazy tone.

Judging from the voice alone, the uninvited guest was a woman, and she had no sense of breaking into someone else's home. Instead, she seemed more relaxed than him, the owner of the house.

John stood there, maintaining his standing posture, withdrew his right hand that was about to turn on the light, and touched his waist calmly.

It went smoothly. The shadow seemed to have not noticed John's actions at all, so the palm of his hand touched the cold object, and the feeling of his index finger on the trigger gave John some confidence.

He calmed himself down and said in a deep voice, "Who are you? Breaking into someone else's house in the middle of the night is not a good habit."

"Ha, this statement is a bit too hypocritical. It was obviously you who sent people to sneak into someone else's house in the middle of the night, but now you say that this is not a good habit." The black shadow chuckled, but the laughter was not joyful from the heart, but was a little cold.

Sending people to break into someone else's house?!

John suddenly realized where this uninvited guest came from. After all, the people under his command had just been incorporated into the Fire Moth, and the corresponding code of conduct had not yet been determined. They had not been on any missions recently, and the only mission was the one assigned by Councillor Preston.

Damn it, was I exposed? And they've even tracked me down here. Is there a spy inside? I must investigate thoroughly!

Thinking this in his heart, John actually relaxed a little and said to the newcomer, "Are you from Mobius?"

In his opinion, this was the only possibility. After all, the target to be dealt with was Mebius's adoptive mother. With Mebius's current financial resources, it was not surprising that he had to support some of his own people.

Of course, it was also for this reason that he felt that his personal safety would not be threatened. Even the mad scientist Mobius would not fail to judge the situation and attack him, which would be a fight to the death with the government.

"What terms does Mobius want to negotiate?" Exchange of interests. For people like them, everything can be explained by these four words. I think this is also Mobius's purpose. After all, no matter what, sending people to do such a small trick in secret will not be good if it is exposed.

"Mobius? Haha——" But Sombra seemed to have heard some funny joke.

This laughter also made John's heart sink.

Could it be that the person in front of me was not sent by Mebius?

His doubts were soon answered.

"Although I will not refuse the eldest lady's request, she is not qualified to order me around." Although Xing was the first child to call Ruan Mei "Mom", Xing's behavior was so inappropriate that it was actually Mebius who was adopted later who took on the responsibility of an older sister.

In the family, Mebius is actually the eldest daughter, and Xing is the youngest daughter. As for Alicia's identity, she is the adopted daughter of Ruan Mei's best friend.

John was very sure that the young lady the black shadow was referring to was Mebius, so it was very clear who sent the black shadow - although it was hard to believe, it was true.

"You are Ruan--" John's words just came to his mouth when he saw the black shadow turn his head and look at him.

He saw a pair of vertical pupils emitting green light in the darkness, which were filled with tyranny, mockery and dissatisfaction, like a poisonous snake, making people feel cold all over.

A great fear enveloped John's heart, and the words he was about to say were stuck in his throat.

"You are not worthy of speaking His name." Holhaiya stood up and slowly walked to John. John was like a frog facing a poisonous snake, standing there unable to move. Even though he kept urging his body to move, he still got no response.

He, this is what Holhaiya calls Ruan Mei, and it is also the true position of Ruan Mei in Holhaiya's heart.

As Holhaiya approached, John felt an invisible force strangling his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe - this was definitely not an illusion, because the invisible big hand was already pinching his neck and slowly lifting John up.

After his feet left the ground, he regained control of his body, but wanting to break free was wishful thinking. The pain and fear of suffocation made him kick subconsciously.

Gun! Yes, I still have a gun!

In a trance, John remembered this fact. He twisted his arm and quickly took out a pistol from his arms, pointed it at Holhaiya, and then pulled the trigger with his index finger.
