Although he had just reminded a junior who might have an inexplicable crush on girls older than him not to try to drive a big car.
"Heh, why did your tone suddenly become like that of an old man? Where is that senior who used to boast about being so romantic and handsome?" Himiko teased, "It seems that you are also a henpecked man."
"That's your fault. How can you be called henpecked?" Hen said seriously, "Have you ever heard of this saying? There are no men who are afraid of their wives. There are only men who respect their wives."
"Come on." Himiko rolled her eyes and looked at the young people who continued to dance on the dance floor and said, "But there are not many men I like right now. I'll have to wait a few more years before falling in love."
"You..." Hen shook his head and complained in his heart, so what if you are afraid of your wife? Look at how many Fire Moth warriors here don't have wives to be afraid of. I would like to criticize a junior who is now flirting with a group of girls and wants him to hype up their relationship. If you continue like this, you will really become the male public enemy of Fire Moth.
"Oh, right." Himiko said, "That girl named Hua, is she in your team? To be honest, I like her very much, but she seems a little...too inferior. There is no shortage of excellent warriors in our headquarters now, right? I want her to transfer to my team and stay with me for a few years. What do you think?"
"Hua..." Hen thought for a moment and said, "She is usually a little low-key, but she actually has a good relationship with Feng and Alicia. Alicia often takes her out shopping, maybe because she is more calm. You want to transfer her to your team, have you asked her? If she agrees, I can go and handle the formalities later. I will feel at ease leaving her to you."
"It seems like there's no hope. I asked her, and she hesitated for a moment, but she didn't agree to it in the end." Himiko shrugged. "I knew that although you're usually careless and unreliable, you actually care about the juniors, right? I originally thought that she wasn't that prominent in the team, and she was a quiet person, so she didn't have many friends except Alicia, but now it seems that I was wrong."
"That's why I value these juniors." Hen smiled and said, "Like Padufils, she is willing to train hard and has a cheerful and lively personality. She is the friend who is most often with Hua. Although Kosmo is always taciturn, he has a stronger sense of responsibility than anyone else and his inner thoughts are quite rich. By the way, his relationship with Desdobia seems to be progressing well recently. It's great to be young... As for Kevin, although he always has a blank face, you can still see his silly nature in front of his girlfriend. Only Feng and Hua..."
Hen's smile gradually faded, and he sighed softly: "Feng performed very well in all the tasks he carried out. His daily interactions with Kevin and others also showed their friendship, but other than that, he was always distant from others and could not remember their names. If it weren't for Alicia, I even felt that he would be too lazy to communicate with others. That's right, he was too lazy to communicate, which was different from Hua's personality of not being good at communicating with others. I don't know if these two children will change for the better in the future?"
"With Alicia here, I think there shouldn't be a big problem." Himiko smiled and said, "But as for who Feng's final partner will be, that's hard to say."
"Of course it's Alicia's!" Hen said in his heart, "Come to think of it, since her last birthday, Grayshu seems to like Feng very much. I've never seen her ask for someone to hold her before. It happens to be a holiday tomorrow, so let Alicia and Feng help take care of Grayshu and promote their relationship. Isn't that okay?"
I have to say here that although Zhu Yufeng really can’t hold a baby, he can take care of a baby. Not to mention Astaroth, in the previous life, when Ying had a mission and couldn’t take care of Ling, it was Zhu Yufeng who took care of her. Ling would also take the initiative to find Zhu Yufeng to play, and later he even knew Ling better than Ying, his biological sister...
The family resettlement area of the Fire Moth headquarters.
Mostima's fingers moved rapidly on the computer, and rows of data and pictures came into her sight. She looked at the information she had collected and fell into deep thought. After a while, she pressed a few more keys and the scene of the banquet hall was displayed on the computer screen. At the focus of the dance were Lilith and Feng dancing together.
Mostima glanced at Jaina who was already sleeping on the bed. She knew very well that Lilith really didn't intend to take care of Jaina. If even she didn't intend to take care of Jaina, then Lilith would definitely let Jaina die in an accident quietly at any time...
After seeing Lilith's true face, Mostima knew that Lilith was really capable of doing it. She was so wanton and indulgent that she even dared to kiss Feng in front of Alicia, which further proved that she only cared about Feng and what other people thought of her was not important to her.
If it was in the past, Mastema would not be willing to take care of these trivial matters, but...
"Because it's being kept as a captive?" Mostima smiled self-deprecatingly.
She has been alone from beginning to end. Her parents divorced and each formed a family. Neither of them wanted to bring her along as a burden. Her relatives were in both families, but they were all so strange and cold. So she taught herself computer skills, dropped out of school and left home early, living alone in this cold world. Wearing a mask on the Internet, she watched indifferently one conspiracy and betrayal drama after another. She was unwilling to believe in the relationship between people anymore, and even enjoyed provoking their relationships, watching them perform farce after farce in front of her.
But... ever since she met Lilith and moved into her home as a friend, she felt the innocent kindness of a child, and even believed for a time that Lilith was a naive young lady who was nice to everyone but lacked common sense... So, she gradually wanted to take off the mask, and occasionally thought that it would be nice to live as "Lilith's friend Mostima". However, she was betrayed again, and now she is even trapped in the Fire Moth and cannot escape.
"I have to take care of the children..." Mostima sighed softly. She should have felt it was troublesome, and she would have run away without saying a word in the past. But now, she only felt that the days ahead would be a little difficult, but she had no intention of abandoning Jaina.
"Maybe, I just want a home..." Mostima thought. The money she had was enough for her and Jaina to live on, but her hacker identity... should we say that she kept it a secret too well, or that Lilith, who knew the truth, was too lazy to expose her identity? Her money was not easy to use.
Because she usually transfers her income to another account, there is actually not much money in the account under her name.
Is she going to work? Impossible, absolutely impossible, she is now trying to hack into the database of the Fire Moth and tamper with the data directly!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Mostima looked at the party that had just ended warily. Lilith was still talking to Feng and Alicia. Moreover, Lilith also had the key here, so it shouldn't be Lilith. Well... I'll change the lock tomorrow. Anyway, it's unlikely that Lilith will come here. When Lilith was arranged, she passed the warrior assessment and was arranged to live in the dormitory of the Fire Moth Warriors, and she was also Alicia's neighbor.
So who could it be?
Mostima checked the surveillance footage in front of the door. It showed a guy holding an umbrella. The umbrella blocked the camera's view, so Mostima couldn't even tell if the other person was a villain. There was a snake pattern on the umbrella, which looked a bit weird.
Mostima picked up his pistol. Although he knew that this was the residential area of the Fire Moth headquarters, it was still strange for someone to knock on the door in the middle of the night with an umbrella.
Mostima walked to the door, looked out through the peephole, and was stunned for a moment. Wasn't this the guy who came to pick up Lilith that day? What was he doing here? Or was Lilith going to kill him now?
"Don't worry, Miss Mostima, I mean no harm." The visitor said outside the door. The pitch of his voice seemed to be higher than the previous time he met him. "I'm here to give you some good advice. Look, I don't bring anything with me except this umbrella. Although it seems that an umbrella can also be used as a weapon, just like the Thousand Chance Umbrella in the Shenzhou martial arts novels..."
Mastema: “…”
This guy is not the one who picked up Lilith at the beginning. He should be that guy's twin brother or something.
Chapter 146: Mastema: Do I have a choice?
After weighing the pros and cons, Mostima still opened the door, but the moment she opened the door, she pointed the gun at the masked man outside.
"Ah, I knew this would happen." The masked man shrugged and said, "Don't worry, Ms. Mostima, I really have no ill intentions. Look, I really have nothing in my hand except this umbrella. If you want to facilitate the subsequent communication, you can just call me Gray Snake."
"Gray Snake?" Mastema frowned and repeated the name, "Why is there still someone called this? Or is this your code name?"
"Name, code name, what's the difference?" Gray Snake said casually, "But, maybe people really wouldn't use this as a name, right? Although we have more knowledge than humans since birth, we also don't have a childhood. That is really a distant concept for us."
Mostima narrowed her eyes. She was not stupid and quickly extracted the key information from the gray snake's words.
This gray snake is not a human? He has no childhood?
She knew that there were some lunatics conducting human cloning experiments with the support of some organizations. Even the Fire Moth, who claimed to be the guardian of humanity and whose mission was to fight against Honkai, was no exception. The difference was that the Fire Moth wanted to obtain new humans who could perfectly adapt to Honkai energy and find ways to fight against Honkai from them.
The so-called collapse... was the disaster that swept across South America when Lilith took off her mask that day.
To be honest, Mastema was not interested in fighting against the Honkai. If the sky fell, there would naturally be someone taller to hold it up. She had seen this when she was collecting relevant information in the internal network of the Fire Moth. That Feng... was indeed not a good person. She was like the hero who appeared at the end of the world in the legend. In Mastema's opinion, if the sky fell, the person who would hold it up would be Feng.
But what does this have to do with her? She is just a mortal. Heroes have their own way of living, and mortals have their own way of living.
Just live your life well.
"However, Master Feng did say that when a person realizes his or her independent existence from the collective, it is the time to say goodbye to childhood." The gray snake said, "Most of the gray snakes think that what he said makes sense. We were born for the same reason and work for the same goal, but we are still pursuing our own meaning beyond that."
"Everyone of you is called Gray Snake, right?" Mastema put down the gun. "But don't you think it's troublesome for each other? Aren't you afraid that if you shout 'Gray Snake', a bunch of people will turn around?"
It’s scary just to think about it, right?
The gray snake seemed to laugh. He said, "In order to make it easier to distinguish, we are numbered according to the order in which the individuals were born, starting from number one. As of now, I should be considered the younger generation. You can also call me Gray Snake No. 6. But what's a little sad is that our creator can't tell us, or she probably doesn't care which individual we are. In short, there will only be one Gray Snake appearing in front of a person, so the situation you are worried about, Miss Mostima, will not happen."
"Don't flatter yourself. I don't care about this at all." Mostima crossed his arms and said coldly, "After talking about small talk for so long, it's about time to tell me the purpose of your coming here, right?"
"Isn't this to ease the tension between us?" Gray Snake spread his hands. "After the mission, the unpleasant things that happened between you and No. 1 were uploaded to the Gray Snake network. I deeply apologize to my unromantic compatriot. That guy always says one word but never two. It's boring, isn't it?"
Mostima was silent for a moment, then said: "Well, at least you are better than him. Tell me your purpose."
This gray snake should be one of those who talk a lot of nonsense, right? Or does it mean that the higher the number, the more nonsense it talks?
"I am honored to be recognized by you." Gray Snake bowed slightly, and then said, "But before I state my purpose, I hope to be allowed to enter this dormitory. After all, what we are going to say next is not good for people with long ears to hear."
Mastema stared at the gray snake for a while, then she moved aside and said, "Come in, and put away your umbrella. Don't hold it in the house."
"Holding an umbrella is also a kind of symbol of ours, right? It really makes me sad that I am not recognized by others." Gray Snake said this, but still put away the umbrella and walked into the dormitory.
"Can I tell you now?" Mastema asked after closing the door.
"Of course, let me be frank, we hope you can join the World Snake." said the Gray Snake.
"What if I don't agree?" Mastema asked.
"Then my mission may be judged as a failure, and then another gray snake will come next time." The gray snake tilted its head and replied, "So, although it should be considered a suggestion in name, it seems that you don't reject this option."
Mastema: “…”
This is a direct threat, right? One plays the good cop and the other plays the bad cop. She has seen this before. Gray Snake's words clearly mean that he is easier to talk to so he will come first. If it doesn't work, the next time, maybe the one who comes to her house will be Gray Snake No. 1 who pointed a gun at her head before.
Seeing Mostima's speechless expression, Gray Snake seemed very happy about it. He continued, "Not long ago, the owner of the Spiral Workshop in Fire Moth, the Magic King of the Twilight Era, Velvet, discovered that someone was invading the database of Fire Moth, but she did not make it public. We all know who you are, and the current firewall of Fire Moth was built by Velvet. The person who can break through the firewall she set up is you, Miss Mostima. So, I came to her door."
Mastema was silent for a moment, then said, "Did Lilith tell you?"
"You can think so. After all, Lady Lilith also thinks that you are suitable to join the World Snake and become one of us." Gray Snake said, "The World Snake is an organization born out of the shadow of the Fire Moth. Of course, our goal has always been the same, that is to defeat the Honkai as much as possible. But there are always some things that cannot be put on the table, so we can only wait for our time to come like a snake lurking in the shadows and waiting for the opportunity."
"What can I get if I join you?" Mostima frowned and said, "Even if you want to threaten me, it's useless. At worst, I can fight you to the death. Since the World Serpent is an organization in the dark, aren't you afraid of being exposed by me?"
"A very reasonable answer." Gray Snake said, "Then I will give you my answer. First of all, to answer your first question, you can get a chance to obtain funds legally. We don't need you to do too much for us. Just like your normal transactions in the past, we will give you corresponding compensation for your work."
"In other words, you want to treat me as the exclusive hacker of World Serpent?" said Mostima.
"Ms. Mostima is indeed worthy of you." Gray Snake continued, "After all, there is no such thing as too much talent. Master Feng also said that you don't like being constrained, so this condition was also proposed by him."
Feng? Is he also from World Snake?
Mostima began to speculate about the current situation in his mind. First of all, Feng was undoubtedly one of the youngest and most promising warriors of the Fire Moth. If time was long enough, his position in the Fire Moth would definitely not be low, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before he became one of the top leaders. And from the words of the Gray Snake, it could be inferred that he should have a certain say in the World Serpent.
Maybe I can find an opportunity to test him later. After all, I have helped him before, so he owes me something.
Plus, looking at Gray Snake's behavior, he is definitely not afraid of being exposed or something. After all, the girl he mentioned, Velvet, was the first to discover his intrusion into the Fire Moth database, and based on the information she obtained, Velvet is simply a monster among monsters. How could someone be a genius in multiple fields at the same time?
Since there is no way to resist, why not be frank and choose to accept it while the other party's current conditions are still good?
Mostima was definitely not afraid of losing everything in the past, but now that he has someone he has to care about, he has a weakness for compromise...
Is this the reason why Lilith kept Jaina?
"Lilith has really been plotting against me since the very beginning..." Mostima smiled bitterly with some helplessness in his heart.
"Okay, there's no need to say anything else. I promise you, provided that what you say is true." Mostima looked at the gray snake and said, "If you force me to work overtime or something, don't blame me for getting angry."
"I think, except for No. 1 and Master Klein, no one likes to work overtime, right?" Gray Snake looked up at the ceiling. "Even Master Feng, who is known as the King of Scrolls, absolutely doesn't like to work overtime. He always chooses to leave when the time comes."
Mostima nodded secretly in her heart. At least Feng had always been to her liking.
"Well, since the communication was successful, my mission is also completed. From now on, I will be your partner. I will serve as a bridge for you to communicate with the World Serpent and convey the World Serpent's mission to you." Gray Snake said and looked at the room where Jaina slept. "Humans in childhood, whether they are adults or non-humans, I envy them very much."
Mostima glanced at him and said, "Now that we have finished talking, it's time for you to go, right?"
"How heartless." Gray Snake shrugged, but did not stay for long. Before leaving, he closed the door gently to avoid waking up the sleeping child.
Mastema stared at the closed door in a daze for a while, and finally just sighed, walked back to the room and went to sleep.
In Mebius' laboratory.
Dan Zhu hugged Cang Xuan and cried loudly: "Sister, I, your sister, almost couldn't come back!"
Cang Xuan was calculating how to save the lab's funds for the next month and trying to trick the higher-ups into giving him more money: "That's a shame. The insurance I bought for you didn't come in handy. I still have to pay for it later."
Danzhu: “…”
Are they still sisters? !so ruthless?The agreed cp will be smashed together, and the money will be earned together?
Cang Xuan raised his eyes from the data, looked at his sister whose face was as red as a dumpling, and smiled gently: "However, as long as you are safe, you can pay more money. I have read the mission report this time. Next time... Senior Sister Luo Fukou and I will go over."
In fact, when he just received the mission report, Cang Xuan almost dropped the test tube in his hand. This time, Danzhu was almost dead. Luo Fukou and Danzhu stayed in place to continue testing the situation on the scene, while the recovery team that returned with the body of the Fourth Herrscher suffered heavy casualties. But think about it from another angle. Isn't Luo Fukou's behavior of staying with Danzhu to continue testing not dangerous? From a universal rational point of view, Luo Fukou's behavior is really like taking Danzhu to dance back and forth on the edge of death.
Cang Xuan knows his sister better than anyone else. Although Danzhu is often a little nonsensical and a timid stay-at-home girl, she is also a very sentimental person. Any non-combatant would be scared in the situation at that time, and Danzhu is certainly no exception. However, she still chose to stay with Luo Fukou and completed the on-site inspection with Luo Fukou to obtain first-hand information.
If Cang Xuan was present at the time, she would definitely take Dan Zhu and evacuate immediately.
Just like in the previous life, Mebius was going further and further on the road of man-made collapse. Realizing that the ideas of both sides were completely irreconcilable, Cang Xuan chose to forcibly take Dan Zhu, who still wanted to stay, away and transferred to Dr. Mei's laboratory.
Does Danzhu agree with Mebius? She definitely doesn't agree. Although the sisters have been Mebius' assistants for a long time, they are just ordinary people after all. Even if they can understand Mebius a little more than others, it's not much more. The reason why Danzhu wants to stay is for Klein's sake.
Cang Xuan is more rational than Dan Zhu, so sometimes she appears to be more indifferent.
But it cannot be said that she is afraid of trouble. After all, in the future 50,000 years later, she and Danzhu were just like each other. When Chi Yuan was unable to provide timely support, they faced the Judgment-level Collapse Beast, Chi You, who posed a serious threat to the newly born, young and fragile Shenzhou civilization. They both chose to join Ji Lin and suppress Chi You under the Nine Netherworld for five thousand years at the cost of their own lives.
"Didn't Senior Sister Luo Fukou come back with you?" Cang Xuan asked.
"Senior Sister Luo Fukou will be back a little later. She said she wanted to go see her teacher, Professor Sullivan." Danzhu replied.
A laboratory in North America.
"Lovko, why are you here?" Sullivan looked at the student he hadn't seen for a long time with some surprise.
Rolfko looked at Sullivan. She, who had always been a person with few emotions, suddenly felt her eyes warm. She thought to herself that she seemed to want to cry subconsciously, but why? It was just that... seeing that the teacher was not affected by the fourth great collapse brought by the fourth Herrscher, and seeing that he was still alive, she felt a strange feeling.
"That's right, I wanted to come back to see you and tell you about my recent work." said Roffko.
Chapter 147: Ai Lishiya: Get used to it, just get used to it
When the morning sun shone into the room, Zhu Yufeng woke up from his sleep. Today was a holiday. He remembered that Hen had told him before the dance ended last night that he needed his help with something today.
How can he help Hen? Take care of the children?
Zhu Yufeng sat up from the bed. Not far away came Lilith's leisurely voice: "You still wake up on time. Before you came to this world, your schedule was terrible."
Zhu Yufeng was silent for a moment, and suddenly felt a little tired. He didn't want to ask why Lilith appeared in his dormitory. After a while, he said, "Since we met after rebirth, you have become more and more presumptuous, Lilith."
Lilith, who was sitting on a chair next to Zhu Yufeng's desk, picked up the teacup and sipped the tea. She smiled and said, "My personality, we have been together for so long, don't you know it?"
"Just because I'm not surprised by what you did doesn't mean I can guess everything you want to do." Zhu Yufeng said as he stood up and dressed, "When did you come?"
"About half an hour ago. Come to think of it, when Xila was here, I couldn't get a good look at what you looked like when you were asleep." Lilith said slowly, "Oh, by the way, now you have lost your identity as a fusion warrior, but... your vigilance seems to have dropped a lot? If I remember correctly, before Xila joined the Fire Moth and you hadn't undergone the fusion warrior surgery, your sleep was always very light. Or is it because I am too reliable that you feel you can sleep peacefully?"
As for becoming more and more presumptuous after rebirth, this is also within her expectations. If there were no tragedy of restraint, she would slowly move her behavior towards this aspect. The bottom line is always to be tested little by little. Then lower it bit by bit, until finally Feng will always accept himself.
What's more, she and Feng had once been in love with each other, so how could she not be presumptuous?
"Before, there was always someone around me who wanted to kill me. Do you dare to sleep deeper?" Zhu Yufeng changed his clothes and prepared to wash up. "As for the future, if you want to kill me, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
"Indeed, the gap between ordinary people and fusion warriors is quite large." Lilith crossed her legs and watched Zhu Yufeng wash up. "By the way, aren't you curious at all about how I got in past Weierwei's surveillance?"
"I think you probably studied books on information engineering during your rebirth. With your talent, it wouldn't be difficult to ask Mostima some questions or ask the Atagina family to find you some teachers with first-class computer skills." Zhu Yufeng said as he washed up. "Although I'm a little confused as to why Wei Wei didn't notice when you blocked her surveillance device, the answer is probably right, right?"
"Oh, you really think too highly of me." Lilith shrugged and smiled a prank. "I can't compare to that all-round genius. In terms of computer technology, I'm afraid that except for Mostima, no one else can compete with her. So, I didn't plan to do that. I came in openly."
