Honkai Impact 3: Saving the former civilization by rubbing the black technology

Then the next second, accompanied by a violent roar, Mebius's body exploded into pieces in front of Ai Yue. Blood and various debris almost covered the entire glass wall, directly blocking Ai Yue's vision.

The instrument next to Ai Yue used to observe Mobius's physiological data also instantly returned to zero, meaning that the other party was dead.

Soon, all the cleanup machines in the operating room started to operate automatically, and the nozzles on the top of the glass wall sprayed water to wash away the blood stains on it, making Ai Yue's vision clear again.

At this moment, where Mebius had been sitting, only the bloody skeleton from the neck to the pelvis remained.

However, Ai Yue was no longer in the observation room at this moment. He turned around and pushed the door open, grabbed the white coat that Mebius had taken off, and walked into the operating room.

The process of Mebius's resurrection from the dead is not something you can always see.

not to mention……

The first thing Ai Yue did when he entered the operating room was to touch the blood splattered on the door, and then he raised his eyebrows.

"Remains of a defective artificial Herrscher simulation (rare): Use value 100%."

"Investing in the research project 'Artificial Pseudo-Lawmakers' will increase research progress by an additional 50%."

So Ai Yue picked up the largest piece of meat he could see and put it into the material storage box he carried with him.

At this time, Mebius's resurrection ability also began to take effect, and the Honkai energy reading in the air began to decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye, and eventually dropped to zero.

Ai Yue stared at the largest part of the opponent's skeleton that remained in place, but found that Mebius's resurrection was not based on this. He looked around and saw Mebius's bloody head in the corner.

Soon, the dark, sticky, unknown substance that Ai Yue had seen before spread in the operating room. It swallowed up most of Mebius's remains and eventually turned into a "cocoon" that wrapped up Mebius's head, blocking Ai Yue's sight from finding out what was going on.

However, although it cannot be seen, some creepy sounds can still be vaguely heard. If someone with a good imagination stands here, he or she may be able to restore the entire process of a human body's gradual "growth" in his or her mind based on such sounds.

Judging from Ai Yue's gradually becoming more interesting expression, he is probably this kind of person.

Fortunately, the process ended quickly. About ten minutes later, a pair of white and tender arms tore open the thick black cocoons, revealing Mebius's newly reborn body in front of Ai Yue.

Ai Yue's gaze naturally focused on the black and green things on the other person's body.

He now understood why Mebius always wore clothes that covered her entire body, because snake-like scales grew on certain parts of her body.

"Have you seen enough?" Mobius suddenly covered his body with his arms, blocking the dense black and green scales. Ai Yue then raised his gaze and saw Mobius's evasive expression. "If you've seen enough, give me your clothes."

Ai Yue threw the white coat at Mebius, then turned around to give the other party some space - although it seemed meaningless.

"How does it feel?" Mebius quickly put on his clothes and stood barefoot on the wet floor.

"There's no need to make experimental reagents of this level. It's just a waste of materials and time. It's too immature." Ai Yue commented. "Even a fusion warrior like you can't withstand it for more than ten seconds. It's better to go through it a few more times in the simulation system. I'll ask Wei Weiwei to set up a Prometheus extension for you someday and have her help you set it up."

"Is that so?" Mebius nodded, but suddenly asked, "What about me? How do you feel?"

Only then did Ai Yue realize that the other party was not asking about the experiment.

"Not very good." He shook his head, and as Mebius lowered his eyes slightly, he continued, "Your resurrection process was blocked by the black cocoon. I can't see anything. Bad review."

Mebius looked up at him in surprise: "Huh?"

"What? What do you think I'm going to say?" Ai Yue turned and walked out of the operating room. "Do you think you're disgusting, or are you a monster?"

"I didn't realize you had a masochistic streak. I'll consider using those words next time."

"Who has a masochistic streak? Don't think you can judge me with impunity just because you came up with the project!" Mobius quickly chased after him. "Where's the experimental data? I want to see it!"

It was difficult for Mebius to figure out what he was thinking.

If I were in front of someone else, I probably wouldn't have so many messy emotions and thoughts, but it happened to be Ai Yue. In front of this existence that far exceeded the limits of human imagination, I always couldn't help but do some unnecessary things.

Was she trying to show her true self this way? Or was she using this method to tell Ai Yue that one day she would catch up with him through her own means? Or maybe...

Forget it, now that things have come to this, it is more important to look at the experimental data first.

Mebius quickly put these inexplicable psychological activities aside.

She caught up with Ai Yue in front of her, but he suddenly stopped where he was.

"What's wrong?" Mebius asked subconsciously, but saw an expression on the other person's face that he had never seen before. "You are..."

It was an expression as if he knew a time bomb had finally exploded and he had to deal with the scene.

"Nothing, just go do your thing, I have to go." Ai Yue pushed his glasses on his face, "By the way, I may have to go on a long trip for a while, please help me take care of Paduo and the others."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll get close to her now?"

Mebius teased subconsciously, but found that the other party did not respond at all, so he strode towards the door.

After leaving the First Research Institute, Ai Yue turned on the display mode of the lens again and read the message sent by Prometheus again.

It was just a screenshot of a post from a forum.

"[Help Post] My daughter has been in a coma for several days. I've been to several hospitals but haven't been able to diagnose her. I'm begging the internet experts to help me out!"

Chapter 52: Arranged Clearly (Two Chapters in One)

He fell into a deep sleep for unknown reasons and cannot be awakened by existing medical technology. This is a manifestation of the influence of the power of the Eighth Ruler, "Rersher of Consciousness".

The occurrence of such a case means that the Eighth Herrscher has arrived.

Mebius didn't know why Ai Yue suddenly made such a decision, but she soon received news from the top.

The Eighth Great Collapse broke out.

When Mebius rushed to the conference room, all the fusion warriors except Aponia had gathered there, including Mei, and were holding a combat meeting.

In fact, it can be seen from a cross placed in the corner of the conference table that Aponia is also paying attention to this place.

"Where's the Herrscher?"

This was the first thing Mebius said when he walked in.

"Nothing was found." Mei sat at the head of the table, brows furrowed. "This great collapse is different from any previous one. There are no Herrschers at the scene, only Honkai beasts."

"No Herrscher? Impossible." Mobius was stunned for a moment, then looked through the information on his phone. "A catastrophe of this scale can't possibly not have a Herrscher. Is she hiding?"

"That's the most likely possibility. I'm afraid this Herrscher isn't the type to excel in direct combat, so he chose to hide himself," Dr. Mei said. "Just like fusion warriors, there are also spiritual perception types and physical enhancement types."

The mental perception system and the physical enhancement system are the two official classifications that were finally summarized for fusion warriors in different situations. The former is like Aponia and Desdobia, whose mental power, or soul, has undergone a great mutation, so that they can drive telekinesis, connect minds, and do many incredible things.

But in contrast, their bodies are relatively fragile. Although they are still much better than ordinary humans, they are far inferior to physical enhancement fusion warriors like Kevin or Hen.

"Rather than saying that there's a difference between Fusion Warriors, it's more likely that Honkai Beasts themselves have this difference," Mobius corrected. "So it's not surprising that Herrschers have this difference."

"Therefore, we must be even more cautious in this operation. A Herrscher hiding in the shadows, whose power may even involve the spiritual realm, is definitely more terrifying than one standing in the open." Dr. Mei frowned. "Unfortunately, there's currently no news from the area where the Great Disaster broke out. We only have blurry satellite photos, so we can't determine the extent of the damage at this time."

Major collapses often occur in densely populated areas, causing devastating damage to the local social structure. Of the seven major collapses experienced so far, except for one in which the losses were suppressed to the minimum due to unexpected circumstances, the others have all caused the destruction of at least one city.

The most terrifying of them all is the Seventh Herrscher. As a being with strength far beyond human imagination, the Seventh Herrscher destroyed the entire Australian continent in just one week. Currently, there is no room for human survival on this continent, and only the dead soldiers and Honkai beasts that have not yet been cleared out are wandering around.

"Come to think of it, are you the only one in charge here?" Mobius only then felt that something was missing in the conference room. "Where are those important people?"

"The Great Collapse involves many issues. All nations should be on war footing. I will temporarily be in charge of the Fire Moths." Dr. Mei sighed, a rare touch of emotion in his words. "As for those others... it's probably because the network signal in the shelter is poor."

At this point, Dr. Mei glanced at Mebius again: "Where's Ai Yue? Didn't he come with you?"

"He said he had something to go out for..." Mebius responded subconsciously, and then his face changed. "This guy, is he planning to act alone?"

No scientist could resist the temptation to study the Herrscher, not even Möbius.

But she also knew very well that no matter how immortal one was, it was absolutely impossible for one person to compete with the Herrscher on his own.

But Ai Yue...does that guy really have this understanding?

Mobius instinctively felt that the man truly believed he could handle the Herrscher.

At this moment, the projector on the ceiling of the conference room suddenly responded. It turned a few times and projected a figure in front of everyone.

"Hello everyone, it's been a while, and it's also a good time to meet you all." The projected Prometheus bowed slightly to the crowd. "I am Prometheus, the artificial intelligence from Research Institute X. I'm here on behalf of Dr. Ai Yue to discuss the next steps."

Kevin, Hen and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. They did not know about the existence of the artificial intelligence project like Dr. Mei, nor had they seen Prometheus in person like Ying. Therefore, when they first saw such an artificial intelligence whose appearance was not much different from that of a human girl, they were naturally a little surprised.

"Where's Ai Yue?" Dr. Mei asked first, "Did he go looking for the Herrscher alone?"

"First, Dr. Ai Yue didn't act alone. He had a thorough plan and reliable teammates," Prometheus said calmly. "Second, the search for the Herrscher is exactly what I'm going to talk about next."

"First, please look at the big screen."

Prometheus pointed behind him, and several other projectors started working, projecting the content designated by Prometheus onto the projection wall behind him.

Those were screenshots of messages from different social software, and even from within some chat software. The text and descriptions on them were mostly different, but they all expressed the same meaning.

Someone inexplicably fell into a coma, and the hospital was helpless.

"This is the information I gathered by monitoring the global internet," Prometheus said, displaying more information. "By analyzing the content of various posts, blogs, or chat logs, I found that these people were basically using the internet before they fell into a coma."

"Are you trying to say that all these things were caused by the Herrscher?" Dr. Mei frowned. "A Herrscher...who can use his power through the internet?"

She thought for a moment before decisively saying, "Prometheus, can you disconnect the Fire Moth from the external network?"

If the Herrscher can really use the Internet to spread his power, then it is only a matter of time before the other party finds the Fire Moth. Before that, this place must be hidden, otherwise the decapitation tactics used against the Herrscher will fail before the other party is found.

"The network connection was disconnected ten minutes ago." Prometheus nodded. "Now, the Fire Moth only has the internal network to use. With me here, we can at least isolate it from prying eyes for a short period of time."

"That's good." Dr. Mei then turned to Kevin and the others, "I will temporarily halt the action plan. Kevin, without sufficient mental protection, rashly contacting the Herrscher would probably result in meaningless sacrifices."

"Dr. Ai Yue has already made a plan for this," Prometheus said at this time. "In Laboratory X, there is special equipment prepared for fusion warriors that can resist mental interference."

Dr. Mei: “Huh?”

But after a moment, she came to her senses. "Very good, at least the safety of some people is guaranteed. Then, next, Mebius, let's go to the Fifth Science Department and ask Minister Spasi to research drugs that resist mental interference to ensure the safety of ordinary soldiers."

Ordinary soldiers do not need to bear the risk of facing the Herrscher like fusion warriors, but this does not mean that their lives can be sacrificed at will, so necessary protection is still needed.

If the more expensive resistance equipment cannot cover all troops, then use lower-cost medicines for temporary protection.

"Dr. Ai Yue has already made a plan for this," Prometheus continued. "The formula for the drug to counteract mental interference has been sent to the Fifth Science Department. Dr. Mei, I hope you can go there to persuade them and coordinate the transportation of raw materials and production, so that we can achieve mass production as quickly as possible."

The sudden and unfamiliar formula certainly cannot fully convince the people of the Fifth Science Department. At this time, Dr. Mei's reputation is needed to persuade them so that the plan of mass production of drugs can be implemented as quickly as possible.

"Also, Dr. Ai Yue took my portable extension with him when he left. It's very efficient in searching for the Herrscher." Prometheus continued while Dr. Mei was stunned. "Once the Herrscher's location is determined, Dr. Ai Yue will contact me through my extension. At that time, you can take action."

"Before this, are there any arrangements for us?" Hen, the captain of the fusion warrior team, asked.

"Not yet. You can choose to wait in the base," Prometheus said, "or you can go to the area where the Great Honkai outbreak occurred to deal with the Honkai beasts. Anyway, I can always contact you."

"In that case, let's get started." Hen looked at Kevin, then at Kosmo and Desdobia. After getting everyone's approval, he turned to Dr. Mei and said, "Let's go to the worst-hit areas first and assist the local army with clearing and disaster relief missions, okay?"

"Allowed." Dr. Mei nodded. "A dedicated flight route has been opened. Just go to the airport and find your transport plane."

"Then let's go get the equipment first."

After saying this, Hen turned and left, while Kevin looked at Ying: "Mei's safety is in your hands, Ying."

As the strongest fusion warrior, Kevin certainly cannot miss this war, so the responsibility of protecting Dr. May has to fall on others.

Although Ying was a little hesitant, she finally nodded and said, "I won't let anyone hurt Dr. Mei."

"Actually, you can all act together. There's no need to worry about Dr. Mei's safety," Prometheus said at this point. "Before leaving, Dr. Ai Yue authorized me to activate 'Ultimate Alert Mode.' In this mode, all equipment within the Fire Moth base will be under my control. The location of all personnel will be updated once a second, and my surveillance model will reflect this. No suspicious individuals will have any chance of contacting Dr. Mei in any way."

Dr. Mei:?

Wait a minute, what do you mean that all the equipment inside the entire Fire Moth base is under your control?

"I always feel like I'm being sidelined." Dr. Mei's expression was a little subtle. "So what should I do now?"

"Let's go to the Fifth Science Department first and solve the problem of the mental resistance drugs." Mebius patted her shoulder with an expression that said, "You'll get used to it." "Then...how about trying to give yourself a vacation?"

Dr. Mei nodded slightly, not knowing whether he was thinking about the problem or felt that Mebius's suggestion was not a bad idea.

However, she was a veteran who had experienced several Honkai outbreaks. Although this was the first time she experienced a situation where she seemed to have nothing to do, Dr. Mei quickly came to her senses, quickly sorted out the current situation, and made a decision.

"Prometheus's performance is trustworthy. Since she says there's no problem, then there should be no problem." Dr. Mei then looked at Ying and said, "Ying, come with me to the Fifth Science Department to solve the problem of mass production of the drug. If all goes well, when I return to the Fire Moth headquarters, you can go to the front lines with the first batch of ordinary soldiers who are distributed with the drug. Is that okay?"

The Fifth Science Department is not located in the Fire Moth headquarters, but in another branch base not far away. It is a branch expanded from the hospital.

It is precisely because this place is not within Prometheus's territory that Dr. Mei needs Sakura to continue to act as her bodyguard.

"Yeah." Ying nodded slightly, but the shaking of her ears on her head still betrayed her slightly excited mood. "Thank you, Dr. Mei."

"You're welcome. I can't go to the battlefield, and I can't let someone who is capable of doing so be tied down by my side." Dr. Mei nodded and smiled slightly. "Don't forget to go to Ai Yue to get the equipment."

"Well, since everyone has something to do, I'll go back first." Mobius waved his hand. "That old man Spasi has always disliked me, so I won't go with you and cause him trouble."

After saying this, he left the room without waiting for Dr. Mei's response.

"Dr. Mobius?"

At this moment, a familiar voice called her. Mebius turned around and saw that Klein, who was supposed to be on vacation, was standing on the other side of the corridor looking at her.

"Why are you here?" Mebius looked at Klein's dark circles, feeling somewhat helpless. "Could it be that you're so used to working overtime that you don't know what to do on your day off?"

"Not really. I went to the library to read," Klein said honestly, holding up his phone. "Besides, didn't you ask me to wait for you here?"
