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

This type of dream design was named "Spider Web Dream" by the Eighth Herrscher. It connects the consciousness of people trapped in dreams to weave a dream network that is large enough to cover the entire world. Once the network is formed, it will spread outward with each node as the center, infecting the people around them in their sleep and eventually sinking into the dream.

The most important thing is that through this method, the Eighth Ruler can rely on looking through the memories of the sleepers to find clues about the mysterious organization. As long as he refers to the theory of six degrees of separation, he can quickly discover the opponent's flaws, and then use dreams to catch them all in one fell swoop and completely eliminate all hidden dangers.

In the Eighth Herrscher's vision, this plan was basically perfect. By the time there were enough cases of coma online to attract enough attention from humans, his own dreams would have probably grown to a size that could cover the entire world. By that time, even if they wanted to resist, it would be too late.

But, but...

But his plan has just begun. How is it possible that someone can accurately locate those unconscious people, and then master the corresponding method of entering the dream state to find his own traces, and finally even successfully escape from the layers of mental maze!

The Eighth Herrscher couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the human who appeared in his dream and communicated with him in a flat and indifferent tone.

She knew very well that although her plan seemed perfect, it had a crucial flaw. That was that in the first stage of the spider web dream unfolding, the power she could use was extremely limited.

Once someone is able to discover the abnormality at this stage and use absolute power to nip everything in the bud, then no matter how terrifying the spider web dream becomes after it grows, it will just be a joke.

But humans are such stupid and short-sighted creatures that they cannot unite when facing such a terrifying threat. How can anyone realize that something is wrong from the very beginning and launch a targeted offensive?

Even if he could realize where the problem lies, how could he convince others to take action on such a trivial matter?

If these things are still reasonable, then his escape from the maze of the mind is completely inexplicable.

Recalling the scene he saw from the replay of the dream fragments, the Eighth Herrscher felt his brain was at a standstill - a human being, faced with layers of realistic dreams, did not sink into them, nor did he look for flaws, but directly escaped from them by committing suicide. There must be something wrong with this person!

Once or twice is fine, but how the hell could someone commit suicide 128 times in a row? Is he really not crazy?

No one understands dreams better than the Eighth Herrscher. She can simulate everything in dreams. A waking death can certainly break free from dreams, but the real experience of death will definitely be deeply imprinted in the other person's mind. Experiencing this feeling more than a hundred times in a row is absolutely unbearable for anyone. Even if they can escape from the dream, they will eventually become a madman.

But will that person really become a madman? No, is that guy really still a human being?

The more the Eighth Herrscher thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed. He even felt a strange emotion rising up in his stomach. It was an emotion that should never appear when facing a human being: the emotion called "fear."

She is the judge of civilization, how can she be afraid?

"Calm down, calm down..." The Eighth Herrscher took a few deep breaths, finally calming down. He then smiled again, "Don't be nervous. Even if he's not crazy, so what? He still has to be my stepping stone."

As she spoke, the girl rubbed her fingers subconsciously. In her field of vision, a ray of light of varying brightness was flipping at her fingertips.

It is a specific spiritual fragment belonging to a certain person.

With this thing, she could easily track the man's location. If he really was from a mysterious organization that opposed the Lawbreakers...

Then, you can visit them in person.

"The Eighth Herrscher is likely to come knocking on our door."

In the familiar conference room, Ai Yue dropped a bombshell in front of the tired-looking Dr. Mei.

"You, what did you say?" Dr. Mei was stunned for a moment, even forcing him to stop yawning. "The Eighth Herrscher? Coming to my house? What on earth did you do?"

"To put it simply, I went to talk to her, but unfortunately, it ended on bad terms." Ai Yue explained simply, "I stayed in the dream for a long time. Since she's a Herrscher specializing in this area, she might be able to track me down."

"You want to catch a turtle in a jar?" Dr. Mei didn't think Ai Yue was a fool who would invite trouble, so he roughly guessed what he was thinking. "Do we need Kevin and the others to come back?"

Ying has already brought the first batch of mental resistance drugs and soldiers to support Kevin and others, and also brought Qianjie with her. Therefore, the Fire Moth currently only has Mobius as a fusion warrior. If Ai Yue really intends to solve the problem of the Eighth Herrscher here, then relying on Mobius alone is definitely not enough.

"No, I have other helpers." Ai Yue said with a smile, and suddenly heard a knock on the door, "It seems that they are here."

Dr. Mei blinked, then saw the door to the conference room opened and two familiar figures walked in. "How's it going? Is the Eighth Herrscher here?"

Velvet, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared here with Aponia, who was supposed to stay in the deepest place.

Chapter 61 It's broken, it's not Xiaodai, it's the dog that's hanging

"You guys..." Dr. Mei glanced at Wei Erwei and the others, then realized, "Did you plan all this?"

"A little backup plan. I didn't expect it to be useful so soon." Ai Yue said lightly, then looked at Wei Erwei, "Has the matter of the Deep Place been resolved?"

"Of course, otherwise Aponya wouldn't have come out." Wei Erwei said with a smile, then pulled out the chair to Ai Yue's left and sat down. "Come to think of it, how long have you been preparing that blueprint? It doesn't look like something you came up with on the spur of the moment."

"On behalf of the people in the deepest places, I thank you, Ai Yue." Aponiya sat on Ai Yue's right, staring at him intently. "With that thing, their suffering will be alleviated."

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Dr. Mei was increasingly puzzled. "Dr. Ai Yue, are you planning something behind my back?"

She had long felt that bringing Ai Yue and Wei Erwei together was not a good thing, but wasn't this bad thing happening too quickly?

"Nothing much, just a minor renovation and upgrade to the Deepest Place." Wei Erwei gestured to a universe on her fingertips. "According to the drawings Ai Yue gave me, I installed a mental soothing device. It can block the influence of external mental forces and alleviate the mental problems of those inside."

The vast majority of members in the Deep Place are not unforgivable criminals. Many of them are warriors who have developed mental disorders due to stress and other reasons in the process of fighting against Honkai. Because they cannot integrate into the lives of ordinary people, and the management above cannot give up such combat power, they set up the Deep Place as their shelter.

"All plans for the Deep Abyss require approval from above..." Dr. Mei said subconsciously, and finally laughed at himself. "Never mind, they probably can't take care of this side now."

Having said that, she looked at Ai Yue again: "So, Dr. Ai Yue, what are the specific contents of your plan?"

"First of all, the Eighth Herrscher wouldn't come here in person. She'd only use her mental power to spy on us and then create a dream to envelop us," Ai Yue said. "But this also gives us an opportunity to track her down."

Although Ai Yue obtained the spiritual sample of the Eighth Herrscher from his dream, he was not a true psychic after all, and could not bring it into reality, so naturally he could not use it for mental positioning.

What's more, that thing has already been used as experimental material.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to find a way to induce the Eighth Herrscher to appear a second time without entering the dream state, and then use the other party's mental fluctuations to locate her, thereby reversely locking her position.

This is also why Ai Yue needs to bring Aponia out from the depths - as the strongest spiritual perception fusion warrior at present, Aponia is definitely the best candidate to fight against the Eighth Herrscher. Even if the opponent can create a dream that traps everyone, Aponia will definitely be the one who remains awake.

What's more, only Aponia can maximize the effect of mental positioning technology. After all, her mental power can extend to most places on the earth, and even if Ai Yue uses "Aponia's Embrace", it can only cover a small area. The strength is not on the same level at all.

Therefore, Ai Yue's plan was to use Aponia to locate the Eighth Herrscher, and then let Mebius use the Second Herrscher's pseudo-power temporarily obtained by the potion to directly cross the spatial distance and appear in front of the Eighth Herrscher, and then kill her.

This plan may seem very simple and crude, but if you think about it carefully, you will understand that in order to complete this plan, you must have the corresponding technology, and any of the means involved are beyond the reach of today's humans.

In other words, only Ai Yue could use the system to come up with such a simple and crude plan.

"Are you sure?" Dr. Mei frowned. "If the Eighth Herrscher is truly a Herrscher who controls consciousness, then how can we reverse-engineer his location?"

In Dr. Mei's opinion, the first step of Ai Yue's plan was full of uncertainty. After all, to compete with a Herrscher who played with consciousness in terms of mental skills was itself an act of overestimating one's own abilities.

"Oh, don't worry about that." Wei Erwei smiled and patted Ai Yue's shoulder. "Although Ai Yue speaks arrogantly, he only says it when he is sure of it. If the success rate of this plan is less than 90%, he won't use it."

Although Dr. Mei is also a top scientist, he is busy with work and has not had much contact with Ai Yue. Therefore, he knows Ai Yue far less than Wilvi and Mobius, so his impression of Ai Yue is still at a "human-like" stage.

But in the eyes of Velvi and Mebius, Ai Yue had already transcended the scope of human beings and reached an indescribable level.

"Actually, I just wanted to let you know." Ai Yue shrugged at Dr. Mei's doubts. He lowered his head to glance at his phone, then revealed a subtle expression. "Even if you reject this plan now, it's too late—she's already here."

Dr. Mei was stunned for a moment, and then her phone responded. The girl answered the call, and a slightly panicked voice came from the other end of the microphone: "Mei, Dr. Mei! Everyone suddenly fainted for no apparent reason! I..."

The voice didn't finish its words and suddenly shut up. Only the sound of Noon falling to the ground came from the microphone. It was obvious that the other party did not escape the symptoms of sudden coma.

Aponya closed her eyes at this moment, and then slowly said: "I saw her, she is walking towards this side——"

The next second, she opened her eyes: "She's here."

Almost at the same time, Ai Yue also smiled: "Good timing."

He spread out his hands, and something like a headset appeared in his palms.

"Take it, Aponya." Ai Yue threw it to Aponya, "You will understand how to use it."

The second after Aponya put it on her head, a black figure slowly emerged in the center of the conference room.

That wasn't a real body, but a projection left in the minds of several people by the Eighth Herrscher's power.

When humans see this figure, it means that they have been captured by the other party.

"Hello again, human." The Herrscher glanced around the conference room and finally looked at Ai Yue, with obvious sarcasm on his face. "Thanks to your guidance, I was able to find this place."

"Yeah, after all, if you give a dog a bone, it's hard not to run over here." Ai Yue responded with the same mocking words, "So a dog is a dog. It doesn't have the intelligence to think about whether this is a trap or not, right?"

"You!" The Eighth Herrscher trembled with anger. "Slippery tongue! When I torture you in my dreams, I hope you can still say such words!"

"You don't have that chance." Aponya opened her eyes again, a turbulent emotion hidden under her calm expression, "I've found you."

It was clearly just a casual remark, but the Eighth Herrscher's expression changed instantly.

Because her original body could feel that there was a powerful mental force that suddenly and inexplicably locked onto her.

How can this be?

Chapter 62 Where are my teammates? Save them!

Spiritual perception and positioning are not unfamiliar means to the Eighth Lawrence.

Because this is one of the uses of the power she possesses. It is precisely with this technique that the Eighth Herrscher was able to lock onto Ai Yue's position from such a long distance and successfully find the headquarters of the Fire Moth.

But what she never expected was that humans could actually use such means to deal with her.

When the Eighth Herrscher realized that he was being targeted, what emerged in his heart was not disdain, "You actually used my spell against me?", but a deep fear.

The power of the Ruler is a divine authority and a miracle belonging to God. How could it be stolen and imitated by a mere human?

And when exactly did he steal it?! We only touched for less than thirty seconds in a dream, so how could he have succeeded with just that?

Thousands of words flashed through the Eighth Herrscher's mind in an instant, but in the end, only one sentence remained.

What the hell is going on!

However, the situation had already developed to this point, and there was obviously no time left for her to express her thoughts. After a brief reflection, the Eighth Herrscher finally made what she believed to be the most correct choice.

In the meeting room of the Fire Moth, the girl's body wrapped in black mist exploded in an instant, and the entire room was suddenly covered by tremendous spiritual energy. These energies turned into a vortex, which was about to drag everyone into the abyss of dreams.

Dr. Mei and Weiwei fell into coma almost instantly. Ai Yue and Aponya were in less serious condition, but were still affected. The originally clear real world became blurred and distorted, which greatly affected their sensory observation and judgment of the outside world.

After sacrificing a portion of her consciousness to slow down the Fire Moth as much as possible, the Eighth Herrscher's body opened her eyes, and a mental command centered on her spread out in all directions, calling on her soldiers.

Since war is unavoidable, she will not sit idly by and wait for death. Amidst the endless torrent of Honkai beasts, the Eighth Herrscher is about to launch the final offensive.

but……

The Eighth Herrscher frowned in confusion.

Why didn't her most powerful familiar answer her call?

"what happened?"

Looking at the Honkai beasts that suddenly retreated around him, Kosmo frowned: "Will Honkai beasts also run away?"

"Could it be because of the death of the Emperor-class Honkai Beast?" Desdobia stood aside, glancing at the giant bird-shaped Honkai Beast that had died not far away. "Without the Emperor-class Honkai Beast and the Herrscher's command, they fled?"

After a fierce battle, the Fusion Warrior Team finally killed the Emperor-level Honkai Beast that was born with the Herrscher this time, a bird-shaped Honkai Beast with a gorgeous appearance, like a peacock.

Due to the lack of fire support, Kevin and others had some trouble dealing with the big bird. The bird was flying in the air, and it was difficult for Kevin, Hen and Kosmo to reach it with their attacks. Moreover, because its movements were extremely flexible, the long-range attacks of Alicia and Desdobia were also difficult to be effective, so that the decapitation operation finally turned into a war of attrition, and a stalemate occurred all of a sudden.

In the end, if the opponent had not been a little tired and revealed a flaw, and was shot through the neck by Alicia's arrow, and his wings were cut by Desdobia's telekinetic flying blade, and finally fell to the ground, I am afraid it would not be over now.

"Houkai Beasts won't flee. They have no intelligence or emotions, let alone morale." Hen walked over. "From the first time I faced a Houkai Beast until now, I've never seen a Houkai Beast scatter just because its leader died."

"This isn't an escape, this is a transfer." Alysia, who had been standing high up overlooking the battlefield, now returned to the ground. "Their route of departure is traceable. They weren't fleeing in all directions; they were summoned."

"Summoned?" Kosmo was stunned for a moment, then realized, "The Emperor-level Honkai Beast is dead, so there is only one being left who summoned them."

"I'm not sure what exactly happened, but it seems the Herrscher is gathering them." Kevin came over after dealing with the corpse of the Emperor-level Honkai Beast. "Rest here for five minutes. Then Kosmo and Desdobia will stay and hand over to the reinforcements. Everyone else, come with me."

"Deputy Captain, we can still continue fighting!" Kosmo became anxious when he heard that he would not be included in the upcoming battle. "It's definitely not possible for the three of you to face the Herrscher!"

"But Daisy is very tired. She's exhausted and can barely stand." Alicia came over and supported the shaky blonde girl. "Do you want to leave her here alone?"

"Actually, I can continue to fight..." Desdobia said softly, but she was obviously a little lacking in confidence. "Besides, as a psychic perception fusion warrior, I will definitely be useful."

Kosmo stopped talking at this time and turned his attention to Desdobia.

"Follow the order." Hen, the captain, gave the final word. "Don't worry about us. If Dr. Ai Yue's speculation is correct, the Eighth Herrscher's combat capabilities are clearly not outstanding. Perhaps we can resolve it without too much trouble."

Kosmo nodded and stopped arguing. Instead, he returned to Desdobia's side, took her body from Alicia's hands, and helped her walk to a safe corner to rest.

The blonde girl seemed to have completely relaxed at this moment, and finally she leaned on the boy's shoulder and fell asleep.

"It seems I'm a little late."

Just when a few people were resting on the spot, a voice suddenly came into the ears of Kevin and others.

Kevin subconsciously grabbed his weapon, but did not take action. He just turned his head and watched the fox-eared girl walk out of the shadows.

"It's not over yet." Kevin shook his head. "You arrived at the right time. You can join the next battle."

Kevin didn't ask Ying why she left Dr. Mei and came here, because with her personality, she would not leave without Dr. Mei's permission.

"That's good." Ying nodded, then disappeared into the shadows again. "The backup team is on the way. I got here first. They will probably need about thirty minutes."

"Thirty minutes?" Kevin glanced at the time. "That should be enough to finish this before they arrive."

What Kevin didn't know was that while the Fusion Warrior Team was resting, Ai Yue had already found Mebius with Aponia.

"You came at the right time."

Looking at the two people who pushed the door open, Mebius raised the lavender potion in his hand and shook it: "It was just made, it's still warm."
