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

"Me?" Mobius pulled out his phone and found a text message from his account to Klein. "When did I..."

The next second, her phone automatically switched to another interface. The paper-like Prometheus appeared on the screen, bowing and a speech bubble appeared: "I'm very sorry, Dr. Mobius, for summoning your assistant without your permission. However, Dr. Ai Yue has a project specifically assigned to you. Please forgive me."

"Huh, so you haven't forgotten me." Mobius snorted, but a smile appeared on his face. "Klein is gone, vacation is canceled, go back to work overtime."

"Understood, Dr. Mebius."

Chapter 53: Unscrupulous Scientists Seduced Innocent Underage Girls

Just when Dr. Mei and others were clearly arranged by Prometheus, a gray-haired girl was looking for something in the airport.

She finally stopped in front of a small special helicopter, took out her cell phone, and compared the information in the mission text message.

"12C...is this the one?"

She hesitantly walked forward and knocked on the cabin door. Soon, the cabin door opened from the inside, revealing a white-haired man wearing a mask.

"Hello, I'm Hua from the Fifth Reconnaissance Team." The girl, calling herself Hua, showed her badge and ID. "I'm here to participate in the mission."

"Hmm." The masked man snorted, not sure if it was a greeting or to show that he understood Hua's meaning. However, he immediately stepped aside and made room for the girl, motioning her to come up. "Go talk to him if you have anything to say."

"Oh well."

Hua was stunned for a moment, then boarded the plane. She didn't care much about the masked man's attitude. After all, since that incident, her reputation within the Fire Moth had gradually declined, and she was even more accustomed to acting alone when performing missions.

Besides, how many people in the Fire Moth Chaser were not special? In this place, you could meet many unique people on the way to the cafeteria for a meal, so a masked man who didn't like to talk was nothing strange.

However, masked man... Have I seen any related topics on the intranet recently?

Sitting on the side bench, Hua was lost in thought, but someone soon interrupted her thoughts: "Hello, your name is Hua, right? Can I call you by your name?"

A young man wearing glasses walked over from the co-pilot seat in the cockpit. He looked very friendly, with a gentle smile on his face. He stretched out his hand while speaking, and seemed to be a very enthusiastic person.

An indifferent masked man and an enthusiastic glasses man, what a strange combination...

"No problem, just call me Hua." Hua thought to himself, and at the same time, he looked at the other person twice more, "Are you the person in charge of this mission?"

"Yes, just call me Ai Yue." Ai Yue nodded. "Come to think of it, we are from the same hometown."

"Is that so?" Hua also smiled in agreement, and quickly found the other party's identity from his memory - Dr. Ai Yue. He should be the new scholar who has recently become famous on the internal network. It is said that he used a valuable patent in exchange for a...

Hua suddenly froze when she thought of this. She turned her head to look at the masked man on the other side, and finally connected everything in front of her - since the man with glasses was Dr. Ai Yue, then the masked man should be the prisoner Qianjie who was rescued from the abyss.

"Don't be nervous, Qianjie is not scary at all." Ai Yue seemed to see Hua's nervousness, so he comforted her, "You'll know once you get to know him better. He's actually very easy to get along with."

Hua didn't know what to say, so he just nodded.

While the two were talking, the plane started up and flew smoothly into the sky. Hua was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the cabin: "Uh, Dr. Ai Yue, are there only three of us on this mission?"

At the beginning, Hua was not surprised that she was the only one selected from the entire team in the mission message, because the Fire Moth often had the tradition of selecting individual members from different teams to form temporary teams to carry out missions, so she was used to it.

But she had never seen a temporary team with only three people, not to mention that there was a scholar among them. They could not be regarded as a combat force at all.

In other words, this mission only requires two people?

She couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"A covert mission, if you recruit too many people, will easily lead to failure." Ai Yue explained briefly, "Don't worry, the mission isn't very risky."

Hua looked at him with some surprise, then nodded and said nothing more.

She was used to following orders. In the past, when she proposed similar tasks, she would always get answers like "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask." If the other party was willing to explain, she could be considered amiable.

But why choose me?

Hua is not a sociable person, so in her free time on weekdays, she actually likes to browse various posts on the Fire Moth intranet. Although she basically does not speak, she enjoys the lively atmosphere of the forum.

Therefore, she also learned that this seemingly young and easy-going scholar in front of her was actually a very powerful guy - he was personally introduced to the Fire Moth by Dr. Mei, and the first invention patent he produced attracted the covetousness of various forces. At the same time, he had a very close relationship with Dr. Mebius, which could be said to have surpassed her favorite assistant Klein. In addition, people often saw him getting along with various fusion warriors on an equal footing, and some people even saw the mysterious director of the weapons research and development department, Velvet, entering and leaving the other party's laboratory.

It can be said that the other party has a certain relationship with the middle-level of the Fire Moth. Why would such a person choose himself to participate in the mission?

Hua didn't express his doubts, but that didn't mean Ai Yue wouldn't ask.

"Are you wondering why I chose you?" He seemed to see the girl's inner struggle, so he asked. After Hua nodded, Ai Yue continued, "I've read your information. Whether it's comparing your various abilities and qualities or looking at your past record, you are definitely one of the best warriors in the Fire Moth. What's more, you are from the same hometown as me. In that case, the natural choice is you."

In fact, Ai Yue was also a little surprised when he saw Hua's information.

In the original plot, Hua in this era cannot be regarded as the protagonist of the story, so her description is also very simple. In addition, the important characters active in this period are all extremely talented. Under their brilliance, Hua seems even more mediocre.

However, as long as you get to know this girl carefully, you will find that her strength is by no means as simple as that of an ordinary soldier.

When the Seventh Herrscher had not yet awakened and was still just a human named "Himiko", Hua was already the backbone of the opposing team, responsible for dealing with the Honkai disaster across the entire Australian continent. At that time, Himiko believed that Hua was the most likely warrior to stand shoulder to shoulder with Kevin and others.

Later, the Seventh Herrscher awakened, and the Fifth Team led by Himiko was instantly destroyed. Only Hua escaped from the opponent and saved Eden in the process, which was enough to prove the opponent's strength.

Not to mention that Hua is now serving as the spearhead in the Fifth Reconnaissance Team. This position requires him to bear the most dangerous and important responsibilities in the mission, but Hua can not only complete every mission perfectly, but also has enough energy to take care of other teammates.

She possessed such outstanding strength before becoming a fusion warrior, so it is no wonder that after becoming a fusion warrior, Kevin had high hopes for her and believed that she could go further than anyone else.

Of course, these things are still too far away for Hua now. What Ai Yue values now is actually the good compatibility between the other party and "The Eighth Divine Key·Yu Duchen". This compatibility, coupled with some wonderful fate between the other party and the Eighth Herrscher in his later life, makes Ai Yue believe that Hua can play an important role in this plan against the Eighth Herrscher.

Chapter 54 Now is the stage of showing financial strength

Hua naturally didn't know what Ai Yue was thinking, she was just a little surprised that the other party was so sure of her.

"You're too kind. Actually, there are many people who are stronger than me." Hua lowered her head, a gesture she always made when talking about herself. "Besides, you should have a good relationship with the Fusion Warriors, right? Perhaps they should help us with a mission like this."

"A fusion warrior has his own duties." Ai Yue couldn't change Hua's lack of confidence anytime soon. "Besides, when it comes to this mission, there's not necessarily any difference between a fusion warrior and an ordinary person."

Hua heard something behind Ai Yue's words and couldn't help but look up at him: "Is it a very dangerous mission?"

"The Eighth Great Collapse has broken out," Ai Yue did not directly answer the question, "but there is no information about the Herrscher yet."

"This..." Hua was stunned for a moment, "The eighth great collapse broke out?"

Within the Fire Moths, soldiers like Hua can only be considered at the bottom level. Although with her qualifications, she is actually qualified to become the captain of a team of soldiers and thus be promoted to a middle-level manager, due to her personal character, the girl prefers to be a soldier who obeys orders.

It was precisely because of this that she was not aware of the situation. After all, Dr. Mei had not yet spread the news as he was not sure about the situation of the Eighth Herrscher. Currently, only a small number of people within the Fire Moth knew of the news.

"So, are we going to look for the Herrscher now?" Hua reacted quickly. After realizing what had happened, he quickly deduced the answer based on Ai Yue's words. "But why would such a thing require a scholar like you?"

"Because it would save a lot of trouble if I did it." Ai Yue smiled. "This way, we can also reduce unnecessary sacrifices, right?"

At this point, he suddenly changed the subject and looked at Hua: "However, I am well aware of the risks of this mission, so if you don't want to carry out it, you still have a chance to withdraw."

"I don't have such plans." Hua glanced at Ai Yue, then looked outside the cabin. "Besides, it's actually too late now, right?"

Ai Yue said that there was still a chance to withdraw, but the plane had already taken off, so how could he withdraw?

"I believe you won't back down." Ai Yue patted her shoulder and pointed to the backpack next to her. "Of course, if you really choose to leave, there's a parachute here."

Thus, this simple yet abrupt encounter came to a temporary end, and they all needed a short rest before reaching their destination.

Three hours later, the plane finally arrived at its destination and landed on a wasteland on the outskirts of a city. But what surprised Hua was that this was a peaceful city. Not to mention the Honkai beasts, there were very few pedestrians on the road.

"Would a Herrscher hide in a place like this?" Hua asked doubtfully. "It doesn't even look like there's a chance of a Honkai disaster here."

"The Herrscher may not hide here." Ai Yue replied, "But the Herrscher's tentacles are here."

antenna?

Hua couldn't understand what the word meant for a moment, but her long-standing habit made her stop asking questions.

"Let's go, let's go take a look. Hua, take this box." Ai Yue jumped off the plane and said, "Qianjie, you stay here."

"Oh." Qianjie, who hadn't said anything along the way, finally said the second sentence Hua said after seeing him.

"Come to think of it, I didn't seem to hear the driver talking along the way?" Hua finally realized something at this time.

The driver seemed to have never shown up from the beginning, and didn't even say a word on the way, which seemed a little too silent.

Although Qianjie, who was sitting at the other end of the cabin, was the same, it was impossible for there to be two people with such personalities on the plane, right?

"It's her first time flying a plane, so she's a little nervous." Ai Yue opened the cockpit door, revealing the empty driver's seat. "Come on, Rose, say hello to Hua."

"Empty?" Hua finally revealed a more obvious expression. She stared at the cockpit in astonishment, unable to believe how she ended up here. "Since when did the Fire Moth have an unmanned aircraft?"

"It's not unmanned, it's driven by artificial intelligence." While Hua was stunned, a shadowy figure appeared in front of her. A girl with a gray ponytail and a double diamond head bowed slightly to her. "Hello, Miss Hua, I am the artificial intelligence 'Prometheus', serving as the pilot for this voyage. Please rate my service on a scale of 1: very satisfied, 2: extremely satisfied, 3: extremely satisfied."

"Uh, then let's go with 1." Although Hua looked confused, he still responded subconsciously, "Wait, artificial intelligence?"

Is there something more outrageous than driverless cars?

"You actually responded to this question so seriously. It seems that your personality model needs some revisions." Prometheus said expressionlessly, then looked at Ai Yue, "Dr. Ai Yue, the specific coordinates have been sent to your phone. Please check it."

"OK, let's go."

Ai Yue stretched out his hand to the dashboard in the cockpit. Only then did Hua notice that there was a black object embedded in the dashboard. Many segmented objects extended from it and were connected to the control devices. It seemed that Prometheus should be using this thing to fly the plane.

After Ai Yue took it off, the black thing actually changed its shape automatically, fitting on Ai Yue's forearm and turning into something like an arm armor.

Hua stared at the scene in a daze, and for a moment he thought he had returned to the time when he first joined the Fire Moth.

When I was a college student at that time, I looked at the high-tech equipment inside the Fire Moth with the same eyes, right?

But this thing looks too high-tech! When did Fire Moth have something like this?

"It's a little bit of nanotechnology, still in the experimental stage, and the performance is not very perfect." Ai Yue lowered his sleeve to cover the Prometheus extension, and seeing Hua's eyes, he explained, "Do you want it? When the technology is mature, I'll give you a complete set."

"Huh?" Hua probably didn't expect Ai Yue to be so enthusiastic. After a moment of hesitation, he quickly shook his head and said, "No, I won't take it... I don't need this kind of thing either."

Ai Yue just smiled and didn't say much.

Not tempted? No problem, there are still many interesting things in my brother's house. I'm not afraid that you won't be tempted.

At this moment, Hua did not know that Ai Yue's enthusiasm for her was all for ulterior motives, and his purpose was to make her willingly become his subordinate.

Unfortunately, it’s too late to run now.

Chapter 55: Ai Yue's First Experiment with Dreams (4,000 words)

The two people walked through the city and soon came to a residential building.

"So, the unconscious person is here?"

Hua looked at the old single-family building in front of her. Ai Yue had briefly explained the current situation to her on the way here, so she also understood Ai Yue's plan. She knew that the other party intended to start with those who were affected by the Herrscher's ability to try to find the Herrscher's location.

"Well, I've already contacted her parents in advance." Ai Yue couldn't act like a charlatan in front of Hua and explain the matter in too much detail, so he could only be vague. "Don't say anything later, just watch me operate."

Hua nodded and followed Ai Yue.

After Ai Yue rang the doorbell, a woman with a sad face soon came out. She looked at the two people in front of her with a puzzled look and asked warily, "Who are you?"

"Hello, is this Mrs. Sarah?" Ai Yue showed an ID. "I'm a doctor from the medical branch of the United Nations Public Welfare Foundation. I contacted you on the forum before, and I'm here to examine your daughter."

"Are you Doctor Ai Yue?" The woman, apparently remembering something, looked Ai Yue up and down. "Is this... okay?"

Although Ai Yue was still wearing the white coat at the moment, his overly young appearance was still unconvincing.

"You don't have any other options now, right?" Ai Yue said with a smile, "Don't worry, we don't charge any fees anyway, why not give it a try?"

"...Okay." Mrs. Sara was clearly in a state of panic, so she didn't hesitate too much and invited the two into the house. However, her expression was still a little awkward. "By the way, please try to remain quiet. I..."

"Sara? Sara!"

Before the woman finished her words, a drunken and impatient voice of a man came from inside the house: "Where have you been?"

As the two men walked into the house, they saw a man staggering up from the sofa, carrying a bottle of wine. "Who is this pretty boy? Who told you to let them in?"

As the other party spoke, he walked towards Ai Yue, rolling up his sleeves as if he was going to use violence.

Hua narrowed her eyes slightly and took a step forward calmly - if the other party dared to come within three meters of Ai Yue, she could take him down directly.

"Dear, this is the doctor who is here to see Rachel," Mrs. Sarah quickly stopped him, "Don't get excited, they don't charge."

"Humph, they'd better." Perhaps frightened by Hua's eyes, or perhaps not wanting to make things too awkward in front of outsiders, the man finally gave up his original idea, but grabbed Sarah's arm again, "Since your daughter is under the care of someone, then follow me upstairs!"

Mrs. Sarah subconsciously wanted to break free at first, but then gave up the struggle and just pointed to the door of the room next to her with her other hand. Then she looked at Ai Yue with pleading eyes: "Doctor Ai Yue, Rachel is in your hands."

The two of them quickly disappeared around the corner of the stairs. Only then did Hua finally couldn't help but ask, "Are we just going to just watch?"

"Household affairs are the most difficult to manage." Ai Yue walked towards the room Sarah pointed to. "What is your judgment of this family?"

He pushed open the door of the room, and saw a small room that was squeezed with a bed, a table, chairs, and a wardrobe, leaving almost no room to stand. A somewhat haggard girl was lying on the bed with a smile on her lips.

"This is a typical reconstituted family. Financial factors have put the mother and daughter at a disadvantage within the family," Hua said briefly. "Judging from the man's attitude, the girl's life at home is probably not going well. This could lead to some psychological problems."

"It's a reasonable analysis, but this is just the surface we see." Ai Yue picked up the phone beside his pillow, and Prometheus, hidden in his sleeve, immediately extended a tentacle to connect with the phone. "You can manage this kind of thing temporarily, but can you manage it forever? If there is no appropriate means to deal with it, her situation may become worse after we leave."

Besides, if you want to intervene, you have to wait until the real work is done.

"Search completed, special keywords found," Prometheus said at this moment. "Based on the current situation, there is a 99.2% probability that this person is one of the original anchor points."
