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

Ling doesn't seem to be very old, so it would be better to arrange for her to go directly to Dusk Street, and then let Qianjie or Aponya stay there permanently to directly resolve all safety hazards.

In this way, the issue of the Honkai disease vaccine must be resolved quickly.

Chapter 7: Weiwei, Withering

Alicia is obviously very good at organizing group activities. Tonight's banquet can be said to be very well prepared. Both adults and children had a lot of fun.

In the end, most people became captives of alcohol, which made the entire venue even more lively.

Because Grayshu had to go to bed early, he had to be carried out of the venue by Blanca. Without the suppression of his wife, Hen quickly became drunk and began to tell everyone about his hard life for the Fire Moths for so many years. He angrily accused the top management of treating him like a beast of burden. Not only did he have to fight on the front line for so many years, but he even had no hope of promotion.

Of course, few people actually listened to the old office worker's rants; most people just gave him a few perfunctory words and made excuses to leave. But two people still stayed.

One is Hua, an honest man who is used to obeying orders and dares not disobey his superiors, and the other is Su, who is kind-hearted and tries to relieve Hen's psychological pressure.

The other side is much more chaotic.

Mebius, who had almost never attended such a scene, was the first to get drunk. Perhaps the alcohol released her long-suppressed emotions, so that this person began to shout that sooner or later he would take Ai Yue to the operating room for a thorough study, thus attracting Aponya's secret and subtle gaze.

"You should know she's just throwing a tantrum, right?" Alicia said with a smile. "Mobius, she only shouts out things like that when she knows she can't do them."

"Who knows? Maybe he just wants to lower people's vigilance this way." Aponya's frown did not relax even after hearing Alicia's words. She covered her slightly flushed cheeks with her wine glass, her eyes moving back and forth between Mebius and Ai Yue. "Speaking of which, since acting crazy while drunk is reasonable, then I will also..."

"People who can say such things won't be considered drunken when they do things." Eden said with a smile, "But I can see that you value Mr. Ai Yue very much."

"Of course." Aponya responded without hesitation, "To me, Ai Yue is a very important person."

"I was really scared at that time," Alicia recalled that back in the monastery, Aponiya, who had been acting very calm, suddenly grabbed Ai Yue's arm tightly, expressing her clear opposition. She couldn't help but laugh, "Eden, you don't know, Aponiya is particularly scary when she's angry!"

"I can probably imagine that," Eden replied with a smile. "But, to make Miss Aponya angry, I guess she must have done something wrong."

"What? Eden, you didn't even speak up for me!" Alicia said, pretending to be wronged. "Just because you have new friends, do you forget the old ones? I'm so sad, sob…"

Faced with Alicia's fake crying that was so deliberate that it couldn't be more deliberate, Eden couldn't help but raise his glass to Aponya with an expression that said, "She's so cute, isn't she?"

Aponia smiled helplessly and stopped worrying about Mebius.

After calming down, she realized that Mebius could only talk. After all, as long as Ai Yue himself was unwilling, Mebius would definitely not be able to put him on the operating table.

It seems that I am really a little drunk... If I am really drunk, can I do something?

Aponya looked at the liquid swaying in the glass and decided to drink more.

However, at this moment, all the lights in the banquet hall suddenly went out.

Whether they were awake or unconscious, everyone fell silent for a moment because of this sudden change. Then, a single light turned on, shining on the center of the banquet hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" Wei Erwei, dressed as a magician at some point, stood there. "Next, please enjoy the wonderful magic show brought to you by the greatest magician of this century, Wei Erwei!"

"Rose, turn on all the lights." Ai Yue's cold voice interrupted Wei Erwei's performance, and then the lights in the banquet hall were restored.

"Hey, wait a minute?" Weiwei suddenly became anxious. "Rose, you just said you would help me!"

"I'm very sorry," Prometheus' voice rang out from her headset, "but after careful consideration, I feel that disobeying Dr. Ai Yue's orders will have more serious consequences."

"Damn it, you biased guy!"

"You still have the mind to care about those things?" Ai Yue approached Wei Wei step by step, a ferocious smile on his face, "I was wondering why you haven't shown up yet. So you planned to wait until everyone is almost drunk before coming out to cause trouble, right? Mobius, hold her down!"

Wei Erwei suddenly felt something was wrong and subconsciously wanted to run away, but it was too late.

A soft yet slightly cold body pressed against her back, directly restraining both of her arms. As long as Weiwei turned her head, she could smell the strong smell of alcohol on the other person: "Mobius, are you willing to be ordered around by Ai Yue?"

"Idiot, those things are not important at this moment," said Mebius drunkenly, "It's time for you to suffer a little bit, right?"

Wei Erwei wanted to say something, but out of the corner of her eye she saw Ai Yue walking towards her with a glass of wine in hand. Her expression suddenly changed: "Wait, are you going to force me to drink? This behavior is immoral!"

"What are the latecomers talking about?" Ai Yue approached, his expression becoming increasingly cheerful. "According to the rules of our hometown, you should drink three cups as punishment. Now it's only one, which is a bargain for you."

"But isn't the capacity of your cup too big?" Wei Erwei stared at the cup in the other person's hand, which was at least 500 milliliters, with her face pale. "Wait a minute, I was wrong, I was really wrong. Alcohol is harmful to the brain! Don't force it... Wuuuuuuuuuu!"

Of course, Weiwei had tried to struggle, but she was just an ordinary person now. How could she break free from the restraints of the fusion warrior?

So in the end, Ai Yue forced it down his throat.

Ai Yue did this not just because the other party was late, but mainly because Prometheus had already revealed the other party's plan in full, and the victim of the plan was himself - this guy planned to drop a big cake from the air and hit him on the head at the end of the magic show, and then collapse and run away, leaving him alone to make a fool of himself. How could Ai Yue let her go easily?

Thus, the first victim of this banquet was born.

Chapter 8 Even Light Can Be Transcended

With the demise of Weiwei, the whole banquet was coming to an end.

Hen had been picked up by Blanca, Hua and Su also said goodbye and left. Aponia and Eden had not yet had enough to drink, so they went to Eden's residence to continue tasting. After a night of feasting, Padofelice was already feeling sleepy and fell asleep in a corner. So Ai Yue asked Ying to take her back. As for Kevin and Dr. Mei, they were most likely the first two to slip away.

Qianjie looted a bunch of desserts and took them home, forcing the dessert chefs to work overtime to make another batch.

After Alicia left to send Velvi to rest, only Ai Yue and Mebius were still sober.

"How are you?" Ai Yue looked at Mobius, who was also beginning to feel sleepy, and shook his head. "Since you are not good at drinking, then drink less."

"I'd love to!" Mobius raised his head suddenly, then lowered it again. "Hmm, I feel dizzy. I'm going to sleep for a day..."

"Are you not going to do the experiment anymore?" Ai Yue smiled. "Didn't you just say that you would surpass me sooner or later?"

"You can't surpass me." Mebius hit him without even looking up. "How can a guy like you possibly surpass me..."

Perhaps because he was drunk, some words were easier to say - at least Ai Yue found it hard to imagine that Mebius would admit this matter so straightforwardly when he was sober.

But then he heard Mebius continue, "But this is not enough."

Ai Yue was stunned for a moment: "What's not enough?"

"You! You're not fast enough!" Mobius suddenly raised his head and stared at Ai Yue. "Faster! Faster than Honkai, faster than Herrscher! Only by evolving faster than them can we defeat them!"

"It has to be faster..."

She muttered these words, slowly closed her eyes, and fell asleep in Ai Yue's arms.

"excuse me."

At this moment, Klein's voice suddenly reached his ears, and Ai Yue realized that the other party had come to him without him knowing when.

The assistant, whose dark circles had obviously improved, nodded slightly at Ai Yue and said, "I'm here to take Dr. Mebius back."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Ai Yue handed Mobius to Klein. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Klein, you should have heard what Mobius said just now, right? What do you think?"

"Dr. Mobius has always been anxious," Klein explained. "She once said that if human civilization continues to develop at this rate, it will be impossible to defeat the Honkai Impact. So, for the sake of humanity's future, she can't relax even a little bit."

Ai Yue was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything.

"But since you came, Dr. Mobius has basically stopped saying that." Klein supported Mobius' waist and smiled faintly at Ai Yue. "Now the doctor is even willing to spend time at this kind of party and drink so much. Maybe it's because she feels that with you around, there's no need to rush."

After saying this, Klein nodded to Ai Yue again, then struggled to support Mebius and left.

Faster than collapse?

Ai Yue's mind replayed what Mebius had just said, and he couldn't help but smile.

From the words just now, he vaguely saw the worries hidden in the deepest part of Mebius' heart.

Since the day the Herrscher was born, humans have not been given much breathing space. From the first Herrscher to the last Herrscher, there was not even fifty years in between.

However, the span of the Herrscher's power has expanded from initially analyzing human technology and using Honkai energy to imitate it, to the point where he can master almost endless Honkai energy and easily destroy the entire surface civilization with a wave of his hand.

If such numerical expansion were put into the game, it would be enough to make players curse the planner's family tree from the modern era all the way back to the caveman period, but the human beings in this world have to face such a desperate future.

Even though there continued to be talented people like Dr. Mei emerging among humans, in the end, only a little spark of civilization was preserved, which barely allowed the new civilization 50,000 years later to have the possibility of "defeating" the Ruler of the End.

In order to avoid such an outcome and get a perfect ending in the first round, Ai Yue needs to do much more than what Mebius expects.

Faster than the Herrscher? No, that would be too boring.

Ai Yue looked down at his palm and slowly clenched it into a fist: "My evolution speed will exceed the speed of light."

"What's faster than light?"

Alicia's voice suddenly came from behind him, and the pink girl came closer to Ai Yue curiously: "Ai Yue, you are saying weird things again."

"I just set a small goal for myself." Ai Yue and Alicia pulled a little distance apart, then asked, "Is Wei Erwei okay?"

"If you're worried, why not force me to drink so much?" Alicia shook her head slightly, then winked mischievously. "But it's okay. Wei Erwei came to her senses after leaving here. She said she had anticipated the outcome and took the medicine in advance."

"Her medicine is useless." Ai Yue waved his hand nonchalantly. "She will be in pain tomorrow, I told you so."

Prometheus had already established a personality model of Vivi and could analyze the details of the other party based on her every move. Although Vivi struggled violently when Ai Yue forced her to drink, her eyes did not change much. At that time, Ai Yue knew that this matter was also part of the other party's calculations.

Therefore, the real revenge against Wei Erwei was to use the act of forcing her to drink to cover up the mental interference.

"Oh, then I have to witness it," Alicia said with a smile, as if she had already decided to watch Wei Erwei make a fool of herself tomorrow. "Did you have fun today?"

"That's great. You really have to organize this kind of activity." Ai Yue nodded. "So don't do it next time."

"Hey, why is that~" Alicia pouted, and suddenly stared into Ai Yue's eyes again, "But you don't seem happy, is there something on your mind?"

Ai Yue calmly looked at Alicia, and suddenly said, "Alisa, if, I mean if—if someone, for the sake of humanity's future, wanted to perform some kind of... uh, transformation on the entire human race, what would you do?"

"You're not talking about Dr. Mobius, are you?" Alicia looked at him with some confusion, then a thoughtful expression appeared on her face. "Well, how should I put it? If this kind of transformation is truly for the future of humanity, then it's actually worth a try."

"What if the consequences of this transformation are unpredictable and may even lead to human destruction?" Ai Yue continued to ask.

"At least we tried, right?" Alicia said with a smile. "Does that mean the future of humanity is bright now?"

Looking at Ai Yue's expression, Alicia continued, "Of course, since this concerns the future of mankind, we must be extremely cautious. If I can be of any help, I would be very happy, okay?"

"I understand." Ai Yue closed his eyes and nodded.

In the darkness, a star is gradually growing bigger and shining with a unique light——

The power of the pseudo-lawgiver and the spiritual plague.

Chapter 9: I saved the world today

After analyzing most of the scientific research projects related to the Herrscher of Consciousness with the help of the Herrscher Core, Ai Yue finally understood how terrifying the Herrscher of Consciousness was to humans.

Mental plague, as the name suggests, is a contagious mental "disease". People infected with this disease will have their minds distorted, resulting in personality distortion, emotional extremes, and even mental breakdown.

Moreover, the conditions for the spread of this plague are extremely simple. Although it cannot pull people into dreams across a long distance through the Internet like keyword hypnosis, as long as you talk to a patient infected with the mental plague for more than ten minutes, the plague will spread to the other person.

The most terrifying thing is that the Ruler of Consciousness can use the keyword hypnosis to arbitrarily control the activation time of the Mind Plague effect. If this mental illness is in the latent stage, it cannot be detected by existing scientific and technological means.

In other words, if she was patient enough, she could wait until the mental plague spread all over the world, and then use the Internet to completely detonate it, thereby plunging the entire human civilization into chaos and ultimately reducing it to ruins.

However, perhaps out of the Herrscher's arrogance, or perhaps because he thought this method was too time-consuming, the Eighth Herrscher did not use this method. Otherwise, Ai Yue would probably find it difficult to find her trace in a short time like before.

However, although the spiritual plague is terrifying, it is not impossible to be a panacea for human evolution, because its impact on the mind mainly depends on what kind of spiritual implications are hidden in the original "virus".

For the Eighth Herrscher, she would naturally choose to fill it with negative content such as "hatred" and "hatred", but if, on the contrary, positive information is recorded into it, would the mental plague also produce completely opposite results?

This was the question Ai Yue had been thinking about for the past three days—he had already overcome the technical difficulties of the mental plague itself, but Ai Yue was not sure whether this technology could produce good results.

From ancient times to the present, the discussion about human nature has never stopped. Countless thinkers, philosophers, and educators have conducted countless studies and discussions on this complex and mysterious field, but so far there has been no conclusion that can convince everyone.

The only thing that everyone can admit is that human nature is complex - there are no two exactly the same people in the world, and naturally there is no unified standard that can be applied to everyone.

Any attempt to restrain humanity and to use a certain standard to constrain everyone's behavior will ultimately lead to immeasurable consequences.

Of course, Ai Yue can spread the improved mind plague to the whole world. He can even go a step further and use subtle means to complete the spider web dream that the Eighth Herrscher failed to complete, bringing everyone under his control.

At that time, he could even make people all over the world achieve the ultimate outcome of mutual understanding with just a thought.

But Ai Yue was also very clear that it was nothing but self-deception. If he really did such a thing, let alone becoming light, it would be considered a small mistake for them not to be destroyed by the light.

This is not a data-driven game, and good intentions do not necessarily lead to good results. Ai Yue does not have a reload button to make amends after making a mistake.

Once the mental plague spreads, even Ai Yue cannot be sure of the consequences. Perhaps humans can really rely on this method to achieve spiritual sublimation, thereby making the earth closer to the perfect country of his dreams, but it is also possible that uncontrollable distortions will occur, causing the entire civilization to be destroyed.

The lesson of Aponia still echoes in Ai Yue's mind. Therefore, even after controlling the top leaders of the Fire Moth, Ai Yue asked Prometheus to monitor their every move 24 hours a day to prevent any unexpected changes.

It is precisely because of this understanding that the Mind Plague is still at the final step of the project completion and has not been truly mastered by Ai Yue.

After solving the problem of the Fire Moth's top management, no one in this world can stop Ai Yue from doing anything, but this also means that no matter what consequences his plan will cause, Ai Yue must take responsibility.

Alicia's answer also made him start to re-examine the matter.

Human spiritual sublimation is a must, but the spiritual plague is, after all, just one of the alternative options.

Let’s use the authority we have to conduct experiments on a small scale first.

"What's wrong? You look so strange." Ai Yue's expression did not escape Alicia's observation. She leaned over curiously, "It's as if you have made some important decision."

"Alisa, you just saved the entire human civilization very likely." Ai Yue patted her shoulder seriously. "Incredible, you are worthy of being the second strongest fusion warrior!"
