Zhu Yufeng: “…”
Is it possible that he was afraid that the Herrscher would get angry, misunderstand something, and then become unreasonable? And he couldn't just stop observing and contacting her afterwards, right?
"It doesn't seem like something you would do." Kevin looked at Zhu Yufeng, "You actually tried to reason with her."
"It's indeed not the case." Alicia looked at Zhu Yufeng with empty eyes, but she also knew that Zhu Yufeng might really be reasoning with Seele just for the sake of future contact.
"Then when she was being harassed by some hooligans, you taught them a lesson, saying that it was an apology for your recklessness when you first met her." Lilith continued, "She suspected that you were following her. Think about what you said."
Zhu Yufeng thought about it seriously, then looked confused. What did he say?
"If you want to think so, then so be it. As a disaster victim, my current task is to observe whether your life has been significantly affected." Lilith imitated Zhu Yufeng's tone and said, "Let me make it clear in advance that I have a girl I like, so I won't have that kind of thought towards you. If you don't like me, I only have one week, and I will leave this city when the time is up. Also, I don't just want to observe you."
Zhu Yufeng tilted his head and looked at Kevin, both of them revealing only one meaning:
Is there anything wrong with this?
"Saying such things in front of a girl..." Alicia curled the corner of her mouth. Although she was a little happy to know that the girl Zhu Yufeng was talking about was herself, she still wanted to say that this guy was really honest.
"Based on my observations and previous research on the Sixth Herrscher's information, she grew up in an orphanage and is a strong-willed person," Lilith said. "And you still spoke to her in this tone, beating up the thugs and leaving. What do you think she would think?"
"She didn't kill me." Zhu Yufeng replied.
Lilith & Alicia: "..."
There is really no hope...
"In short, while you were investigating other people, you would observe Seele when you had time. I don't know about other things, but in your own investigation report, you mentioned that Seele was relatively independent, but because of her personality, she didn't have many friends at school. During that week's investigation, one day you went to the other side of the city to investigate. When you saw her the next day, she seemed to be mocking you, but in fact, she was just talking." Lilith continued, "She was still very happy to see you. For someone like her, the most appropriate way to get along is to keep a proper distance, like you do, not too close and not too far."
Alicia and Kevin were both thoughtful.
"Not to mention, she tried to ask you if you had a girlfriend. Although she mocked you for being single, girls with her personality...are prone to that. When you said you wanted to leave, she chased you away, but she was obviously a little disappointed." Lilith touched her chin, "If I remember correctly, the Sixth Herrscher awakened a few days after you finished your investigation."
Chapter 191 Why does someone not even let go of the Key of God?
"This..." Zhu Yufeng's eyes twitched, "Can't this be a coincidence..."
"That's such a coincidence. She didn't become the Sixth Herrscher during the days you were investigating, and she exploded not long after you left. If there are too many coincidences, it's inevitable that people will think there's something else going on, right?" Lilith said with empty eyes, "Especially when it's related to you, it's hard not to think too much."
Zhu Yufeng: “…”
There is no way to refute...
"I also looked through the files of the incident between the Fire Moth and the Sixth Herrscher. After the Sixth Herrscher awakened, although it caused the deaths of people in a certain range, it did not immediately start killing people on a large scale. Instead, it wandered around the city." Lilith looked at Kevin. "The Fire Moth responded immediately. After investigation and analysis, it locked onto the Sixth Herrscher's true identity and abilities and began to attack the Sixth Herrscher."
"Because the Sixth Herrscher was lurking in the city, her Herrscher signal disappeared quickly after the outbreak, so the Fire Moth decided to track the Sixth Herrscher without alerting her as much as possible." Kevin recalled what happened at that time, "After the Sixth Herrscher appeared in that city, all the personnel in charge of the observation mission at that time were required to reconfirm the status of the observation targets they were responsible for. Feng, you didn't find Seele here, and the date and place where she disappeared also corresponded to the time and place where the Sixth Herrscher appeared... After combining the information, we locked the Sixth Herrscher's human identity to Seele."
"After confirming the Sixth Herrscher's human identity, the Fire Moth began a secret search in the city. Finally, after sacrificing more than a dozen soldiers, Kevin found the Sixth Herrscher and killed him on a high tower in the city center." Lilith continued Kevin's words, "Because the Sixth Herrscher showed his human side at the end, Kevin hesitated, and the Sixth Herrscher took this opportunity to turn a city into a dead city."
Because the Sixth Herrscher had hardly used his power in the crusade, except for the counterattack against the Fire Moth warriors and the final counterattack against Kevin, which was different from all the Herrschers that had appeared before. Therefore, the top leaders also believed that there was a possibility of communication with the Sixth Herrscher. However, the Sixth Herrscher's counterattack in the end directly cut off the top leaders' idea that the Herrscher could possibly coexist with humans.
"What did she say last?" Zhu Yufeng looked at Kevin and asked.
After the crusade ended, Zhu Yufeng also read the report submitted by Kevin, which only said that in the end the Sixth Herrscher disguised himself with a mask of humanity and launched a final counterattack when he tried to communicate.
"Hero of humanity, tell me, can you really accept a Herrscher?" Kevin repeated what the Sixth Herrscher said at that time, and looked at Zhu Yufeng with a strange expression and said, "Before, I always thought that was her disguise. Now that Lilith said this, I also think that she might be asking you if it is possible to accept her."
Zhu Yufeng: "... Is it possible that it was just... a coincidence..."
He was almost convinced by what he heard.
"I have a guess about this, and you had the same guess as me at that time." Lilith said, "After you had already identified the identity of the Sixth Herrscher, you also went to the apartment where Seele was staying once. Is it possible... that she was actually nearby at that time?"
Zhu Yufeng was silent for a moment, then said, "Because after we locked onto the Sixth Herrscher's trail and movement route, we found out that she had indeed passed through the apartment where she hibernated as a human..."
Afterwards he felt that he was lucky and thought that he just missed the Sixth Herrscher. Now that Lilith mentioned it again, he felt that it was possible that Seele was really nearby at that time.
"All your current speculations make sense logically," Zhu Yufeng said, "but the only unreasonable thing is that before Alicia sacrificed herself to return to Honkai, the Sixth Herrscher would not have shown any humanity. And I also said that during the time I spent with Seele, her behavior was no different from that of a human."
"That's why I said it was all speculation." Lilith shrugged and said, "Unless I do it again now, I can't guess what the truth of the matter is. If you said something like 'rotten oranges are rotten oranges' or 'once an Oxer, forever an Oxer' when you were investigating the Sixth Herrscher's whereabouts and communicating with others, if it was consistent with my speculation, the Sixth Herrscher might not have waited for Kevin to hesitate after hearing it, and might have directly exploded and destroyed the city. Unfortunately, when you were communicating with others, you said 'seele is seele, the Sixth Herrscher is the Sixth Herrscher'. Do you think... can this explain why the Sixth Herrscher asked Kevin that question in the end?"
"What is Oxer?" Kevin and Alicia both looked at Zhu Yufeng. What kind of weird term is this? However, considering the previous "rotten orange is rotten orange", it is probably not a good thing.
"Anyway, I didn't say that." Zhu Yufeng denied it first, then seemed to be thinking about it.
At that time...it should have happened when he was conducting further investigation in the apartment where Seele was temporarily staying. He didn't remember the name of the soldier who talked to him, but he still had some impression of that conversation.
"... Feng, if you find the Sixth Herrscher and you stand in front of her, do you think she will be harsh with you like before? And then say something mean but act honestly?"
"Do your own thing. Besides, Seele is Seele, and the Sixth Herrsler is the Sixth Herrsler."
"You can't say that. Didn't you find anything abnormal about her during your one-week observation?"
"I remember that I submitted my observation reports every day, and no one thought there was anything unusual."
"That's right, maybe this time the Herrscher will be able to communicate with us normally. Then, maybe we can fight together with the Herrscher and fight against Honkai together."
He first complained in his mind that Alicia, who had been fighting with us until now, was a Herrscher, and then continued to investigate in the small apartment.
Although the apartment where Seele lives is small, it is clean and tidy overall... But it may also be that Seele himself does not have many things to put...
These were all he remembered, and he couldn't remember anything else. As for the warrior who spoke to him, he eventually died in the Sixth Herrscher's counterattack.
"Let's leave this question alone. There's no point in discussing it further." Zhu Yufeng decided to end the topic. "All your speculations are based on the premise that the Sixth Herrscher retains humanity, but... in this era, before Alicia returns to Honkai and cuts the thread of fate, the other Herrschers... are nothing more than puppets of Honkai..."
"Do you really think so? Are you sure you're not saying this because you don't want to think about it anymore and are ready to give up?" Lilith looked at Zhu Yufeng jokingly, "Michael... do you also think that she was a puppet of Honkai after becoming the Herrscher of Constraint? Was the hug she gave you at the end fake?"
Zhu Yufeng was silent.
Kevin and Alicia both looked at Zhu Yufeng, but neither of them spoke, because Zhu Yufeng was quite reluctant to mention the tragedy involving Michael's restraint. Kevin respected Zhu Yufeng's feelings, and Alicia, like Zhu Yufeng, did not want to mention the matter.
Only Lilith, as the person involved, has the ability to speak up.
"I believe that her will finally triumphed over Honkai's will." Zhu Yufeng was silent for a long time before saying, "What I saw in the end was Michael himself."
"Then why is Seele impossible?" Lilith asked back.
After a long time, Zhu Yufeng said: "If this is the case, then I am also willing to try this time to save her."
But... what he was thinking about was the Herrscher of Ice and Herrscher of Rock of the current civilization. It was hard to say about Herrscher of Rock, as he died not long after he was born, and his core was given to Herrscher of Ice. As for Herrscher of Ice, her memory as a human disappeared with time, and in the end only herrscher's instincts remained. After Mei defeated the two Herrschers and fused and summoned the Herrscher of Meteoric Ice, the consciousness of the two fused materials did temporarily appear.
Therefore, he was more inclined to believe that Seele was stimulated and exploded into the Herrscher of Death, but her human consciousness did not dissipate immediately, but was gradually eroded by the "Honkai Impact"...
Same with Michael.
But there is no great point in discussing these things now. The final answers to all the puzzles can only be found when I see Seele again.
As for the fact that he was very comfortable using the Black Abyss White Flower and Divine Grace Judgment... Lilith's speculation was actually not impossible, because when using Divine Grace Judgment, he did feel like he was fighting with an old friend. As for the Black Abyss White Flower, he was a little uncomfortable at the beginning, and occasionally there would be backlash that would disappear quickly...
According to Lilith's idea, it was already outrageous enough that she had provoked so many girls, but now she even didn't let go of the Key of God. What the hell was going on?
Calm down, calm down, don't think too much, these are all Lilith's speculations...
"Hey, you guys are here. I was worried that it would be difficult for you to defeat the emperor-level Honkai beast that can only call upon ice and snow." Hen, whose head was bandaged, came over and looked at everyone. "It looks like you're all not only okay, but also in good condition?"
Zhu Yufeng looked at Hen, then glanced at Lilith inconspicuously... When he was fighting with Pavanti before, he heard on the communication channel that Hen was surrounded by Honkai beasts, but Hen himself said that he could handle it and asked them to concentrate on their own work. This matter was definitely related to Lilith, who was transferred to fight against the Honkai beast tide and was not allowed to participate in the crusade against Pavanti.
Lilith shrugged and said, "Senior Hen, you are injured, why don't you go and take a rest?"
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious, just a slight bump, no need to make a fuss." Hen spread his hands and said, he didn't realize that he was besieged by a bunch of Honkai beasts because Lilith tricked him, "When I heard the team that retreated earlier say that the ability of this emperor-level Honkai beast is to call on ice and snow, I was a little worried about you, but... As expected, as the best warriors of the Fire Moth, you really have no problem taking down the emperor-level Honkai beast."
"Hen, do you have something to say here?" Zhu Yufeng asked.
Hen looked at Kevin, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Kevin, the team I lead will be handed over to you from now on."
Kevin was stunned. If he remembered correctly, Hen was indeed going to the moon to oversee the construction of the lunar base, so he recommended him to the parliament to take over the position of captain of Hen's team. After the lunar base was built and they returned to Earth, when he was about to return the position of captain to Hen, Hen said something like "the new generation pushes the old generation forward", and his record was far beyond that of his predecessor, so he stayed in his team as a member.
But...afterwards, he felt that it was because Hen himself was happy to be free and didn't want to continue to be the captain and take care of so many things...
In his previous life, Hen also received orders at about this time, and then began to gradually transfer the management of the team to himself. For example, when the fifth Herrscher awakened (although he was quickly torn apart), he was the one who led the team to investigate.
"I really don't know what the people above are thinking." Hen complained speechlessly, "This kind of thing should at least be told to me a month in advance..."
"Is it because Yuga was not in the middle of the Earth-Moon orbit during this period of time, but moved to other places?" Zhu Yufeng asked. As for why, of course he was the one who gave the order... Mobius had come to him before and said that if Yuga continued to linger in the Earth-Moon orbit, it would affect the construction of the Moon base by the Fire Moth in the future.
Therefore, Zhu Yufeng found a way to contact Yuga and asked it to temporarily go to the South Pole or the North Pole for a while...
Speaking of Yuga, Zhu Yufeng is actually communicating with Yuga through telepathy, but he can only contact Yuga unilaterally... Most of the time, Yuga remains in a dormant state after its transformation and wanders in the Earth-Moon orbit. Occasionally, it wakes up and circles the moon a few times, or hangs around outside the Earth's atmosphere for a while. Seeing the Fire Moth, it became very nervous and sent several reconnaissance planes to follow it.
Because he had said that Yuga would not fight if he could, the Fire Moth did not want to provoke Yuga, at least not before he could think of a way to deal with Yuga, so the two sides did not bother each other. After a few times, Yuga thought it was quite fun and took the reconnaissance plane around. The reconnaissance plane did not dare to not follow him, for fear that Yuga would cause trouble...
"Yeah, that Judgment-level Honkai beast is really a headache. How on earth did it manage to reverse the flow of time and space..." Hen said with some trouble, "Now the Fire-Chasing Moth is still keeping a high level of surveillance on Yuga. It seems to be hovering over the Antarctic, but I don't know how long it will stay there... It really makes me curious, is it the companion Honkai beast of a Herrscher? Is that Herrscher also in a dormant state like the fifth Herrscher this time... No, if that's the case, then this one is also the sixth Herrscher... Forget it, this is not a problem I should think about..."
Kevin and Alicia looked at Zhu Yufeng.
There is indeed a Herrscher with space-time abilities here, and Yuga is indeed someone's companion Honkai beast.
Zhu Yufeng's eyes are on the nose and his nose is on the heart. At least, except for the first time he appeared, Yujia has been very obedient and has not caused any trouble...
Chapter 192 Yuga: Just a little joke, very happy
"This is the South American Branch Observation Center. Yuga's condition has been very stable, and the Honkai energy value is also constant. There is no abnormality for the time being. The report is over."
In the control room of the South American branch of Fire Moth, a Fire Moth observer looked at the images transmitted by the drone and reported to the headquarters.
Over Antarctica.
In addition to drones, there are also manned fighter jets hovering around Antarctica. If there is any unusual movement on Yuga, drones will be unable to effectively obstruct it, and manual operation will be required.
Because today is the day when the Fire Moths and Mu Continent are preparing to land on the moon and build a lunar base. There must not be any mistakes, especially with Yuga, who is currently regarded as the biggest threat to mankind's path to space.
Among so many Honkai beasts, only this one can move freely outside the earth, and it also has the ability of time and space, making it difficult to cause effective damage to it. So when the moon landing plan was put on the agenda, the reason for Yuga's appearance was naturally "explained". Honkai was preparing to block humans on the earth and hinder human development into space. Therefore, a weird judgment-level Honkai beast like Yuga was born.
It is called strange because, apart from destroying a city when it was born and attempting to attack the Fire Moth base after its birth, it has never made any moves that threaten humanity. Instead, it has been wandering between the Earth and the Moon, occasionally entering the lunar orbit or moving randomly outside the atmosphere.
"We are above the South Pole. Yuga is still in an inverted triangular cone shape and there is nothing abnormal." A pilot reported.
"Very good, continue to monitor Yuga, and report immediately if it makes any unusual movements!" Instructions came from the command center.
Fire Moth Headquarters, Mobius's laboratory.
"This is Hen. All the equipment is functioning well and I am also in good condition." Hen's image appeared on the screen. "Everyone else is also in good condition and is ready to go."
"Come on, Hen. Building a base on the moon is a huge project." Alicia said with a smile.
"Hen, you have to take good care of yourself over there. The moon is not the Earth after all. If something happens there, it will be difficult for us on Earth to respond in time." Blanca said with some concern.
Her worries were not without reason. No matter how well prepared the Fire Moths were, they could not completely resist the possibility of a Judgment-level Honkai beast attacking the lunar base. Although they had made many contingency plans for this possibility, the best result would be the loss of about half of their facilities and equipment.
Why do we have to take such a big risk to implement the moon landing plan? That is because some things were discovered on the moon in the last century, but due to technical limitations, there is no way to bring them all back or conduct further excavation. At the same time, some experiments and observation devices can be better conducted and observed on the lunar surface. In addition, humans will eventually march into space, and the moon is also an attempt for humans to expand into space.
Therefore, the Fire Moth and Mu Continent also prepared for this for a long time, and then suddenly a Yuga appeared...
Hen laughed and said, "Don't worry, my dear wife. I am an excellent cadre of the Fire Chaser Moth. I have experienced many different dangers. Believe me, I will come back safely!"
Zhu Yufeng raised his eyes. If he hadn't emphasized it to Yuga, Hen, you were just setting a flag, right? And you also set a flag like this during the Ninth Herrscher incident in your previous life...
"Don't worry, Feng. I still have Kevin here. Besides... I'm Grayshu's father. I must come back..."
“Feng… Are you also in a tough fight? It seems your worry is right…Grayshus, I’ll ask you to take good care of me from now on…”
But this time, if Bharamatian appears again, Yuga can deal with it. If he can’t deal with it, he can just hold Bharamatian back... Then, the Ninth Herrscher, right... Everyone knows your face and identity, let’s see how you plan to hide this time...
"Grayshus, you also wish your father a safe landing on the moon and a safe return, right?" Blanca said softly, looking down at Grayshus in her arms.
Gray Xiu nodded, looked at Hen and said, "Dad must come back safely."
"Oh, now that my lovely daughter said so, Dad feels full of energy now." Hen said with a smile.
Alicia looked at Zhu Yufeng and said, "Feng, can you say something too?"
Zhu Yufeng was silent for a moment, then said: "I wish you success."
Forgive him for not being able to think of what to say.
"You kid... forget it, you're not good at saying nice things anyway. I appreciate your kindness." Hen said with a helpless smile.
Klein glanced at Mebius standing beside him, hesitated for a moment and said, "Doctor... aren't you going to say anything?"
"Huh? What should I say?" Mebius said unhappily, "What do I have to say? You've already said what you should say. Do I have to say anything else?"
"Oh, Mebius, you are always so dishonest." Alicia said with a smile, "Let me guess, you must think that there will be no problem at all for Hen to do this, right?"
"Alisa..." Mebius's eye twitched.
"I think the doctor may think that the most important thing now is to find a way to obtain the research rights of the fifth Herrscher's core and to dissect me who has directly fought against the fifth Herrscher." Lilith whispered in Zhu Yufeng's ear from behind, and blew gently, "Now I have to ask you to protect me well~"
Alicia: “!”
