The civilization before the collapse, heroes and heroes are reborn with me

She really did like Feng, and she really had a feeling called "love" for Feng.

Moreover, after experiencing the continuous nightmares that night, the gap between her and Feng after the tragedy of the previous life was also eliminated a lot, because she already knew that he still had her in his heart at that time... Although the tragedy of the main gap and the tragedy of the constraint may not disappear until the end of the eleventh Herrscher incident in this life, but at least...

At least her feelings for Feng must have deepened.

Alicia stopped thinking and looked at Lilith: "It can't be completely applicable. After all, everyone is a unique individual. What's more, little Grayshu's feelings for Feng are not the same as my feelings for Feng."

"Are you sure?" Lilith asked back.

Alicia's eyes twitched: "Little Gray repaired her..."

Wait, how old is little Grayshu?

Seeing that Alicia seemed to understand what she meant, Lilith said slowly, "Indeed, Grayshu is less than 9 years old now, but have we all subconsciously ignored her identity as a reborn person like us because of her appearance? Counting from her rebirth before the incident of the Third Herrscher, it has been almost 5 years now, right? The time of the Last War was also very close to Grayshu's 13th birthday. What's more, some of Grayshu's characteristics that make her easily affected by the outside world only appeared after the fusion warrior surgery. You say, can we really treat Grayshu as an 8-year-old child now?"

Alicia was silent for a while before she said, "Lilith, is it possible that you are overthinking it? Even if little Grayshu can't be treated as a child now, Feng can still be the big brother next door who is always by her side."

"Kosmo will be so excited to hear this~" Lilith joked.

"It's the same with Kosmo. There's no need to think about it that way, right?" Alicia said speechlessly, "For little Grayshu, Feng and Kosmo are both big brothers next door who took care of her when she was growing up, right?"

"Why don't you take a look around Feng and then think about it carefully?" Lilith said speechlessly.

Alicia: "..."

This... If Feng were the protagonist, Lilith's words would indeed become very convincing... But no matter how I think about it, this is a bit...

"It doesn't matter whether Grayshue has such thoughts or not. She is even more cruel than Michael." Lilith spread her hands again and said, "I just want to remind you not to think that Grayshue is still a child. She won't always be a child. People will grow up after all."

Even if Gray had really had that kind of thought, she would be banned directly, so there was no need to consider it.

"Indeed..." Alicia pressed her brows with a frown on her face. She was misled by Lilith again... It was mainly because of Lilith's words, and then she thought about the girls around her who had feelings for Feng...

After getting rid of those thoughts that shouldn't be in her mind, Alicia said, "No matter what, little Grayshu's mentality is essentially still conflicted about how to get along with Astaroth, that's right, right?"

"Of course, but we should consider more about her feelings for Feng. Maybe she herself doesn't know this." Lilith said, "After all, even though Gray Xiu is much more mature than she looks, she has never come across similar cases in terms of love. She is surrounded by a bunch of really little brats. What does love have to do with her?"

"That is to say, even if little Gray really doesn't have that kind of thought, she might mistakenly think that she has that kind of thought, right?" Alicia said thoughtfully, "Well, it is indeed necessary to guide her well..."

"Then you should work hard and try to restore the relationship between little Gray and Feng." Lilith waved her hand and prepared to leave. "As for me, I will go and play with Mostima or Roverko~"

"Eh? Didn't Hen ask you and me to do it?"

"Ah? Isn't he a Feng-loving party? Then the person he's asking for help must be you." Lilith held the back of her head with both hands and left. "And if it were me, hehe...what gave you the illusion that I would care about what would happen to people other than Feng? Have I been a good kid around Feng for too long, Ai Lishia?"

Alicia was silent. She almost forgot that Lilith was a piece of shit... If she let Lilith come, who knows what kind of trouble she would cause...

Chapter 243: Cracks Begin to Appear

Mebius' laboratory.

"Doctor, Astaroth's special ability... has been confirmed." Klein said hesitantly while holding a report. "Astaroth's ability... is an extremely powerful and uncontrollable mental ability. It is largely affected by Astaroth's emotions, regardless of whether she is willing to use this ability..."

Mebius glanced at Klein and said, "You should just tell us what the parliament thinks."

"The idea of ​​the Council... the initial plan is to place her in the deepest place and let Apolonia manage her..."

"Are you sure the parliament said resettlement instead of directly imprisonment in the deepest place?" Mobius said with some disdain, "Let me guess, this is what they said when they first got the result, right? And then because of concerns about Yu Feng, they wanted you to come to me and let me be the lobbyist?"

Klein was silent for a moment, then said, "But, Doctor... As far as the current situation is concerned, except for a temporary collaborator named Michael who is willing to go into the ward where Astaroth is, no one else dares to go in... And before this, several medical staff had been affected by Astaroth's ability and had hallucinations that were difficult to get rid of... Doctor, even if Astaroth is Feng's adopted sister, you can't..."

Indeed, it was because Astaroth's ability was too uncontrollable that she was imprisoned in the Deep. After she merged with some of Brahma's super-mutation factors as a participant of the Chimera Project, her fantasy ability was even materialized... But in essence, Astaroth was a child who did not fight with the world. She would not have subjective malice, which led to her being bullied in the Deep before joining the Fallen Angels team.

For those serious criminals who are imprisoned in the deepest places, a child who is extremely dangerous but does not show any rebellious psychology is the easiest target for venting their evil thoughts.

After joining the fallen angel team, it was not until Beelzebub rushed into the abyss and started killing people that others were frightened and did not dare to provoke Astaroth.

Just because Astaroth doesn't resist doesn't mean the team of fallen angels behind her will indulge you.

The reason why Astaroth did not resist was probably due to her family environment. After all, she had lived since she was a child in a family where her parents were not in harmony and would beat and scold the children when they were tired of quarreling every day. Resistance was futile and might even bring more violence. In addition, her nature tended to be indifferent, so she chose to get used to it and remain silent.

In the previous life, after Astaroth's abilities were detected, she was almost immediately escorted to the deepest place. The soldiers pointed their guns at the child's head and dared not put them down until Aponia appeared and took over Astaroth's subsequent placement.

This time, the parliament also thought so at first, but then they remembered that Astaroth was not without support, and Feng was her biggest supporter. If Astaroth was "invited" into the depths without Feng's knowledge, it would at least cause hostility from at least half of the current number of fusion warriors.

The congressman who had confronted Feng during the Seventh Herrscher incident is now digging coal somewhere in Africa...

This is only considering the team of fusion warriors led by Feng. If Kevin also got involved...

God knows whether the fusion fighters will choose to flip the table.

Many congressmen still have complaints about the Fusion Warrior Program, but because Lionel, as the representative of the military, has pushed for the Fusion Warrior Program and forcibly suppressed all objections, they have no objection, but in their hearts they still hold an attitude of disapproval and disbelief towards the Fusion Warriors.

Astaroth's identity is too sensitive at the moment. First of all, she is a child who does not like to fight with the world. The Deepest Place is a place where serious criminals are imprisoned. Currently, except for the two crazy people Beelzebub and Esmodes who are imprisoned as fusion warriors, Aponia is willing to guard the prisoners in there. Apart from them, no fusion warriors are imprisoned there.

Beelzebub and Esmodes had criminal records, and Feng had also signed the detention order for the two of them. They could not be released until they were on a mission, so the others had no objection. However, they imprisoned Astaroth, a child who had done nothing wrong, in the deepest place...

This requires considering what other fusion warriors will think.

What's more, the evaluation of fusion warriors in the Fire Moth so far is basically positive. It is not convincing enough to lock a child up in the deep just because an ability is theoretically too dangerous and uncontrollable.

This uncontrollable ability is still questionable. After all, no one knows whether Astaroth's ability will be controlled as she grows older.

The answer is yes.

During the Ninth Herrscher incident, Astaroth had already almost completely controlled her abilities, but the number of Honkai beasts attacking Gresh was too large. In order to ensure Gresh's safety, Astaroth chose to manually collapse to fight. In the end, the Honkai beasts were annihilated, but the Honkai energy released during her artificial collapse still hurt Gresh...

After this, Astaroth actually felt quite guilty about this. For a long time, she did not go to find Grayshuin but locked herself up to practice controlling the Honkai energy.

But now, only the reborn people including Mebius know about this. Even some reborn people such as Pado, Sakura, Hua, etc. don’t even know that this happened.

Mobius has been troubled by the whereabouts of the core of the Eighth Herrscher recently. The unexpected incident of the Seventh Herrscher has already put a lot of pressure on her and Velvet. Now the Eighth Herrscher has also run into trouble. If she can't find the core of the Eighth Herrscher, she will have to consider the possibility that the Eighth Herrscher is not dead.

After the operation, according to Admiral's guess, she immediately conducted a second examination on Seele. The result not only verified Admiral's idea that the stigmata space was indeed transferred to Seele, but she still did not find the Herrscher core of the Eighth Herrscher.

As a researcher, she shouldn't be afraid of the unknown, but the end of the unknown might bring someone's second death. She couldn't afford to gamble with the unknown, so she could only try her best to control the situation within the known...

Now there is also the issue of Astaroth's placement...

Mebius uttered a soft "tsk", then looked at Klein and said, "What did Lionel say?"

"Lord Lionel's opinion is... he also agrees with the parliament's idea, but before that, he thinks it is necessary to inform Feng, and..." Klein said hesitantly, "Lord Beffinger thinks that if Feng can solve this matter by himself, there may be no need to make it so serious..."

Mobius glanced at Rovko, who was silently typing data and analyzing the possible whereabouts of the eighth Herrscher's core in the imaginary space over and over again. Noticing Mobius's gaze, Rovko raised his head, was silent for a while, and said, "Feng's judgment is the main one."

Then I continued typing.

"After all, Feng is Astaroth's brother..." Danzhu said while holding a pile of data on the experimental table, "Maybe when Feng wakes up and sees his brother, Astaroth will be in a good mood and learn how to control his abilities? Is this... uh, the brother-sister bond?"

Danzhu's sister Cang Xuan placed another pile of experimental data on the experimental table, and then said: "When I came here with Senior Sister Klein before, I heard Nahaima say that he could pay to build a villa for Astaroth to live in alone, so that she would not need to live with those guys in the Deep Place."

"But I don't think the parliament will agree." Klein looked at Cang Xuan and said, "Someone must watch over Astaroth, and Aponia is obviously the best candidate."

"I think that if Nahaima insists on doing this, the parliament may not be qualified to object." Cang Xuan said calmly, "After all, Nahaima and Miss Eden are both important financial sponsors of the Fire Moth, and Miss Eden is also a rare example of having the same attitude as Nahaima."

If you go against your financial sponsor, will you still get your research funding?

Although there is still financial support from Mu Continent, who would complain about too much research funding? Moreover, it is easier to go from frugality to luxury than from luxury to frugality. After Nahaima and Eden joined the Fire Moth, the funds of various research departments of the Fire Moth were much more abundant. Now that the parliament's operation has wiped it out, will those researchers go to the parliament to argue?

She might do this herself, it's not easy... She is responsible for so much funding control in the Mobius Laboratory. Her sister Danzhu is basically just a mascot. Roffko, an experimental maniac, has to run between the Mobius Laboratory and the Spiral Workshop. Dr. Mobius doesn't care about this. Senior Sister Klein has countless things to deal with every day, and Cang Xuan is not at ease to let other researchers do it, so Cang Xuan has to do it herself.

If the research funding was cut, Cang Xuan would be the first to find the culprit to settle the score.

Unless the instigator of the incident can fill the funding gap himself, but given the stubborn personalities of those members of parliament, it is like dreaming to be able to pay for it themselves.

"Then wait until Yufeng wakes up." Mebius said, "If it's really urgent, it's the same to ask Alicia and Lilith."

If Alicia and Lilith both feel like doing this, Zhu Yufeng generally won't object.

Maebius started to feel depressed again when he thought about this, wondering if he could learn to cook some simple dishes himself? Now the girls around Zhu Yufeng can't cook, which is a bit...

Well... forget it. Think about it from another perspective. She is the only one who needs Yu Feng to bring her meals, so the treatment is different.

On the other side, Michael gently closed the door of the ward and saw Nahemah and Baal standing in the distance, seemingly arguing with the head nurse. Abaddon stood beside them without saying a word, but his eyes were obviously unfriendly.

Feng is sleeping now and doesn't know what's happening here. Astaroth's backers are the members of the fallen angel team from the previous life. Although they have lost their memories, the trust between them still exists.

Baal is the same age as him, and he is also the most trouble-making and impulsive one in the Fallen Angel Team. The main reason for the quarrel over there now should still be Baal's.

The quarrelers were divided into two parties, one represented by the head nurse and the councillor, and the other represented by Nahaima and Bal...

If a conflict breaks out between fusion warriors and ordinary people, it will only give Feng a headache, and it will also make the situation worse, right? Michael narrowed his eyes and thought so in his heart.

She decided to go forward and find out what was going on.

"Don't take yourself too seriously. Let me tell you, when we were fighting Honkai beasts on the battlefield, you didn't even know where to hide. You said you wanted to take Astaroth away, right?" Barr almost pointed at the head nurse and cursed, "Is that shabby place in the depths suitable for people? Why don't you live there?"

"This is a special situation..."

"She's only 12 years old. Are you willing to throw your child into such a deep place?" Bal continued, "I think what Brother Nahaima said is very good. You are not the one who pays the money. Why do you care so much?"

"This is a decision of the Parliament..."

"Boss Yufeng also has the right to participate in the council's decision. Didn't Lionel say that he would wait for Boss Yufeng's opinion? Why are you so anxious to take Astaroth away?"

The eyes of the parliamentary representatives flickered a few times. If they compromised with the fusion warriors this time, they would become more and more arrogant in the future, and the parliament might be meaningless in front of them in the end... Moreover, the fusion warriors currently have a high prestige among the warriors, especially Feng and Kevin...

Thinking of this, the parliament representative looked at the soldiers behind him and said, "Don't worry about them. Follow the order of the parliament and invite Astaroth to the deepest place."

"you dare……"

Before Bal finished speaking, Nahaima reached out to stop Bal, then smiled at the parliament representative and said, "Are you sure you want to do this? Or, after offending me, are you so confident that the parliament can protect you and your family?"

Australia has not been completely burned this time. Naheima is still the nobleman of the first family in Australia. In addition, his family has provided a lot of convenience to the Fire Moth in the subsequent processing in Australia. Now he is still an important financial sponsor of the Fire Moth. He doesn't even need the identity of a fusion warrior to directly threaten the representatives of the parliament.

Damn, you have no martial ethics!

The parliament representative's face twitched. He was about to say something when Lionel's voice rang out, "What are you doing here? Private conflicts are forbidden in the Fire Moth!"

"Sir Lionel, you came at the right time. We were just following the orders of the parliament, but we were met with..."

"I remember that the voice of the parliament was not completely unified, right? Which parliament did you receive instructions from?" Lionel glanced at the representative. Now the Fire Moth Parliament was divided into three parts. One side was Mebius, who held a neutral attitude towards this. The other side was May. She believed that Astaroth needed to be controlled, but more detailed confirmation was needed before that. Then there was his side. He agreed with May's opinion anyway.

So, which parliament’s directive was this?

Most likely, it was a private move by Mei's people. After all, Mei didn't care much about managing her own faction, and they were put on Mei's side just to make it easier to distinguish them.

And the people on my side are not pure either...

The conflict between fusion warriors and ordinary people will happen sooner or later, and Astaroth's special ability is just a fuse.

If this matter is not handled properly, it may eventually turn into a direct conflict between fusion warriors and ordinary people, and the fight against Honkai will only become more powerless.

A bond is needed between the fusion warriors and ordinary humans. Mei can do it, but it is not enough. Originally, Alicia or Lilith should be able to do it, but they also completed the fusion warrior surgery as soon as possible...

Therefore, even if Lionel could, he couldn't undergo the Fusion Warrior surgery now.

He turned his gaze to Michael and said, "Isn't there a child here who has been with Astaroth before? Let's listen to her opinion first."

Chapter 244: The Ninth Herrscher

"My... opinion?" Michael looked at the people around him who were all looking at him. Baal's face almost showed "Watch your wording" written all over it, but Abaddon was as reliable as ever. He noticed at once that Baal's expression might cause trouble, and took a step forward to block Baal.

Although Naheima is usually unreliable and frivolous, he will not let you down at critical moments. He also knows that Baal cannot hide his thoughts. If other people notice Baal's expression, even if Michael wants to speak for Astaroth in the end, it will give the parliament a handle to think that Michael is threatened by Baal.

So he also stood in front of Bal and gestured to Bal to hold it in.

"Based on my current communication with Astaroth, she is not threatening. Rather, we get along very well." Michael said. She was also relatively clear about Astaroth's situation. Since Astaroth could not control her own abilities at present, she would cause people to hallucinate unconsciously.

Even she, who had always gotten along well with Astaroth, was also affected. In her eyes, the entire ward environment was like a dream, with flowers blooming in the window and butterflies fluttering around her.

You can even smell the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds.

This kind of ability is neither good nor bad.

It all depends on Astaroth's state of mind and what the person who is forced into the illusion thinks. Although Astaroth cannot control her own abilities at present, the range of her abilities is limited to this ward and will not spread outward.

Perhaps for Astaroth, she only needs a peaceful little world and does not need to spread her abilities far. In fact, in Michael's memory, when Astaroth was performing missions as a fallen angel, the maximum range of her abilities could cover at least half the size of the Fire Moth headquarters base.

But compared to his own divine grace barrier, it is not that big.

Michael thought Astaroth was harmless, but in fact, in Astaroth's illusion, if Astaroth had any ill will towards the visitor, the mental attack she could launch would be extremely terrifying. However, why would a child who only wanted a peaceful little world have malicious intent?

This reminded her of the incident with the Twelfth Herrscher that she had experienced in her previous life as the Key of God.

What on earth made a child who had encouraged her sister until the end rush to her death with resentment? And what prompted the awakening of the 12th Herrscher, which eventually destroyed the only three remaining cities of mankind?

Suspicion of those who are not of our kind is the bullying of the weak by the weaker ones.

"What exactly is the situation?" Lionel asked.

"We talked about a fairy-tale ending in the ward full of sunshine and the fragrance of flowers." Michael smiled and said, "Butterflies fluttered around us, and occasionally we could hear the crisp chirping of birds. If you ask me to describe it, the environment we were in was a fairy-tale world."

"Aren't you afraid? Once she develops ill will towards you, it may not be a fairy tale world anymore." The parliament representative looked at the ward where Astaroth was with suspicion in his eyes. In his opinion, Astaroth's ability had reached an extremely dangerous level. He was still clear about the environment of that ward. In other words, Astaroth's ability could even deceive human sense of smell and hearing.
