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

What's more, this is only the opponent's second trump card.

Alicia thought about it and turned her gaze to Aponya. The nun was looking at Ai Yue at the moment, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Aponya... the ability she displayed was perhaps terrifying.

Add to that a Qianjie who can rival a fusion warrior and survive even a fatal wound...

Such a small place like Dusk Street actually hides so many powerful characters.

Chapter 8 Just be a wild cat

Things went better than several people had expected.

Less than an hour later, Alicia received a specific reply.

"Dr. Mei and Kevin will be here." Alicia looked at the reply on the communicator and smiled with relief. "This should solve the problem."

Dr. Mei's authority within the Fire Moth is very high. Although he is still suppressed now, he is at least much stronger than Alicia and the others.

With her around, the matter at the nursing home can come to an end that everyone is happy to see.

"Then let's follow our previous agreement. Ying will stay as a 'prisoner', and you and I will go meet them." Ai Yue nodded, not too surprised by this result. "Let's try to finish this as soon as possible."

Ai Yue yawned as he spoke - after all, he was just an ordinary person now, and he would still feel tired after not sleeping for such a long time.

"I understand." Ying nodded without saying anything more.

Although she had to play the role of a prisoner, Sakura did not feel any resentment as a member of the Poison Pupa.

She even felt a little relieved when she thought about being able to help those children live a better life.

I wonder how Rin is doing now...

"Miss Sakura." Aponya's voice brought Sakura back to her senses. "Let's go to the sanatorium and wait."

"Speaking of which, there's something strange." After watching the three people leave, Alicia suddenly asked, "There's another person. Did you forget about him?"

"Who?" Ai Yue didn't react for a moment.

"Little Padu!" Alicia was surprised. "Have you really forgotten her? That child tried her best to save you before."

"Oh, her." Ai Yue finally realized what the other party meant. "Paduo was not part of my plan from the beginning."

"Why?" Alicia looked at him strangely, "Because she doesn't have the same abilities as you, so you despise her?"

If you think about it carefully, this statement is reasonable. After all, Ai Yue, Aponia and Qianjie all have their own strengths, and only Padfils is just a thief. Putting these four people together will somewhat create a feeling of "You are not here to be a mascot, are you?"

"Of course not." Ai Yue denied it naturally, without hesitation. "That girl, Paduo, has no ambitions and no pursuits. She just wants to live a peaceful and leisurely life. So, for her, the Fire Moth is not a good destination."

Although it cannot be seen on the surface, Ai Yue is very clear that Pado's special ability is actually the most outrageous among them from a certain perspective. His incredible good luck may only be surpassed by Alicia's special identity.

But Padu's yearning for freedom and leisure is obviously in conflict with the purpose of Fire Moth to eliminate Honkai. Instead of letting her enter Fire Moth with him and be bound by rules and regulations, it is better to let her be a free wild cat.

After all, this time, with me here, she doesn't need to sacrifice herself.

"I see." Alicia blinked and said thoughtfully, "But what if the child wants to go with you?"

"Then I definitely can't stop her." Ai Yue spread his hands, "So the decision is still in her hands."

"I understand." Alicia nodded with a smile. "I'm suddenly curious. What will the child choose?"

Ai Yue wanted to say something, but suddenly he heard a slight noise coming from all around him. However, when he listened carefully, he could only hear a faint sound coming from above his head.

"Ah, Dr. Mei and the others are here." Alicia had obviously noticed something. She looked up at the sky and saw several flickering lights. She then pulled out a cold light stick from her tactical bag to guide the plane. "Hey~ Can you see it? Land here!"

Soon, two specially made helicopters landed, one in front and one behind, and stopped on a relatively flat open ground. Before the propellers completely stopped, the door of the front helicopter opened and a girl in a white coat and a ponytail walked out.

Ai Yue didn't even need to take a second look to confirm that the other person was Dr. Mei.

But in comparison, he was actually more curious about the people on the second plane.

Soon, the door of the second plane opened, and a young man with short silver hair and two pistols on his waist walked down.

Although he and Dr. Mei look the same age, for some reason he looks more aged.

"It turns out Kevin really has white hair." Ai Yue suddenly blurted out these words as he watched the other party walking towards him.

"Eh, did I tell you that?" Alicia was confused for a moment, but then gave up and walked towards Dr. Mei. "Hi~ Mei, long time no see!"

"We just had lunch together five days ago, Ellie." Dr. Mei sighed and quickly focused his attention on Ai Yue. "I guess this is Mr. Ai Yue from 'Dusk', right?"

What does "Twilight" mean to Mr. Ai Yue?

Ai Yue was stunned for a moment, then he saw Alicia blinking at him, and immediately realized that this was probably the name the other party had given to his so-called organization.

"Well, I am."

Ai Yue nodded and then extended his hand. Dr. Mei also naturally extended his hand and shook hands with him as a greeting.

Neither of them paid much attention to it. Instead, Kevin, who was standing five meters away, couldn't help but take a step towards them.

"Okay, now that the pleasantries are over, let's get down to business." Dr. Mei quickly got to work. "What's your plan?"

Ai Yue was stunned for a moment, then looked at Alicia.

"Oh, I used some coded language in my mission report to ask Mei for help," Alicia finally explained. "Otherwise, it would be difficult for a busy person like her to come directly, right?"

"And you're not trying to hide it at all, are you?" Dr. Mei sighed. "Otherwise, you should at least restrict Mr. Ai Yue's freedom of movement a little bit, instead of being able to shake hands with me like this."

"Hehe, because I know you will definitely help me, Mei." Alicia leaned over affectionately, "Mei, you are the best!"

Kevin, who was standing by, finally spoke up at this time: "I think it's better to get down to business quickly."

His voice was warmer than Ai Yue had imagined, and one could even discern the emotions in it more clearly. It was obvious that Kevin at this time had not yet experienced the series of changes that gradually drove him insane.

"Simply put, we want to join the Fire Moth." Having come to this point, Ai Yue got straight to the point. "I hope the Fire Moth can meet a few of our requirements."

Chapter 9 Everything I have today is thanks to my talent!

Ai Yue briefly talked about the situation at the Dusk Street Sanatorium and put forward the conditions for himself and others.

The content is actually very simple - it is hoped that the patients and children in the sanatorium can be properly accommodated, and at the same time, Qianjie and Aponia must enjoy the treatment of normal members.

Ai Yue knew very well that both Qianjie and Aponiya had many problems. Qianjie himself was a time bomb, and he would only give him some face because he saved the children. Aponiya looked like a normal person, but her cursed ability could cause a disaster even more terrifying than Qianjie's.

Therefore, the best way to avoid disaster is not to stimulate them.

Qianjie is okay. As long as he can fight against Honkai, he may not care about anything else, but Aponia is different.

According to Ai Yue's idea, it would be best to prevent Aponia from becoming a fusion warrior, so as to eliminate the possibility of the discipline ability being strengthened again - after all, he has many means to enhance combat effectiveness, even if he loses a rare spiritual fusion warrior, it is not a pity.

As for the "Divine Sound" later developed based on Aponia's abilities, it is even less important.

This is also why Ai Yue hopes that Dr. Mei can be present - apart from her, the opinions of the few people present combined may not be enough to make the top management of the Fire Moth change their minds.

"I understand the situation." Dr. Mei listened to Ai Yue's statement and nodded. "If this is all you want, then I can make the decision personally."

At this point, she suddenly changed the subject: "In return, I also have a request. I wonder if Mr. Ai Yue can agree to it?"

Ai Yue had anticipated this: "I'm all ears."

"The organization 'Dusk' must be disbanded after you join the Fire Moth," Dr. Mei said. "Of course, this doesn't mean you're forced to sever ties with each other and become strangers. Rather, the Fire Moth cannot form overly close groups. Do you understand?"

Although it is inevitable that there will be small interest groups within a large organization, if this clause cannot be included in the established conditions, Ai Yue and his companions will definitely be ostracized within the Fire Moth and may even be closely monitored by the upper echelons.

After all, the three of them have unique skills and are not ordinary people. A small group that existed before joining the organization is not conducive to their integration into the new environment.

"Of course." Ai Yue naturally understood Dr. Mei's concerns. "Don't worry, we will never act under the name of 'Dusk' again."

After all, this thing didn't exist in the first place.

"Then our temporary agreement is established." Dr. Mei nodded casually. "The subsequent specific operations will be handed over to Alicia."

"Eh?" Alicia, who was still trying hard to hold back her laughter, was stunned for a moment. "Why me?"

"Because you're free right now, right?" Dr. Mei looked at her with a smile. "I'll discuss the specific conditions with my superiors, but I'll leave the Dusk Street matters to you."

"I'll be able to give you a formal reply in three days at the latest." Dr. Mei deliberately ignored Alicia's coquettishness and looked at Ai Yue again. "In the next three days, please help Alicia deal with the Dusk Street incident."

When Dr. Mei said this, the subtext was "I will handle the matters with my superiors." This sentence is more meaningful than any other sweet talk.

"Then I'll have to trouble Dr. Mei to negotiate with the important people." Ai Yue also handed the blueprint of the Honkai Energy Adsorption Device to the other party. "This thing may be able to help you."

"This is..." Dr. Mei flipped through it briefly, then immediately showed a surprised expression and looked at Ai Yue, "Did you do this alone?"

As a scientist, Dr. Mei's eyesight was much sharper than Alicia's, and he naturally saw the extraordinary features of this design at a glance.

After seeing Ai Yue nod, Dr. Mei smiled expectantly: "In this way, perhaps the result will be more perfect than you and I imagined."

"Is that thing really that powerful?"

After Dr. Mei took Kevin away, Ailishia asked Ai Yue, "It's really rare to see Dr. Mei showing this expression."

"The same thing naturally has different values in the eyes of different people," Ai Yue replied. "What's more, besides its own value, this thing actually conveys another message."

"what's the message?"

Ai Yue shamelessly spread out his hands, putting on an impressive act: "This is something I researched on Dusk Street. As you can see, there's a shortage of supplies here, and the conditions are rudimentary..."

"So if you had better conditions," Alicia understood Ai Yue's meaning, "you would be able to achieve greater success?"

Ai Yue smiled slightly and did not answer the question directly.

After all, no matter how pretentious he is, he still knows very well where his "ability" comes from.

Meanwhile, at the nursing home, Sakura also received news from Alicia.

"The matter seems to be resolved." After reading the message with various cute tones, Ying's face also showed a slight smile. "Dr. Mei has made a promise. There will be a formal response in three days."

"That's great." Aponya's calm face also showed a slight fluctuation. "Thank you again for your help, Miss Sakura."

If Sakura and Alicia hadn't been so easy to talk to, this matter probably wouldn't have been resolved peacefully.

"It's alright, I'm just going with the flow." Ying shook her head. "The one who really contributed to this matter is actually Mr. Ai Yue."

From calming the restless situation, to persuading Alicia and the others, to negotiating with Dr. Mei, all of this was actually done by Ai Yue as the leader. Ying could feel that everything that happened tonight was under the other party's control. Even if the negotiations broke down and had to end in violence, he still had a corresponding plan.

By that time, it would be difficult for me to drink tea in the church so leisurely.

While thinking, Sakura suddenly felt Aponya's gaze, and the other person's eyes were now focused on her head.

"Excuse me, Miss Sakura." After making sure the matter was resolved, Aponya finally couldn't suppress her curiosity. "Are these ears real?"

"……it is true."

Sakura wanted to avoid the topic, but considering that they would probably be colleagues in the future, she answered the question: "This is a side effect that I have to endure in order to gain power. Please stop staring at it. It's a bit... embarrassing."

"I see." Aponya nodded and closed her mouth thoughtfully.

Chapter 10 Brother, you won’t be angry, right?

Dr. May is indeed a very efficient person.

Although she said that there would be results on the third day at the latest, in reality, Ai Yue and his team only had to wait for more than thirty hours before they received a reply from Dr. Mei.

"According to Dr. Mei, all three of you need to go to the Fire Moth headquarters to undergo formal procedures, investigation, and training." Alicia summarized the information sent by Dr. Mei. "Also, there are two options regarding the arrangements for the sanatorium."

After hearing the most crucial part, not only Aponiya, but even Qianjie, who was sitting in the corner of the room and seemed to be asleep, raised his head.

"The first option is to relocate the entire sanatorium to a larger city," Alicia said. "The Fire Moth has branches in many cities and collaborates with many hospitals. Finding a suitable place to house them shouldn't be difficult."

Qianjie snorted coldly at this plan: "It's certainly not difficult for you, but these little brats are very fragile. I'm afraid they can't adapt."

"It's really not a good idea to let children and patients leave their familiar environment," Aponya said. "Also, I believe you... the people of the Fire Moth, shouldn't have failed to consider this, right?"

"Yes, so the second option is that everything remains the same, but Fire Moth will send professional medical and educational staff to take over the sanatorium." Alicia said with a smile. "Of course, Aponya, you can come back during your vacation, but you understand that after joining Fire Moth, you won't be able to stay in the sanatorium as long as you do now."

"I understand. Then, let's choose the second option." Aponya nodded. "I'm sure Qianjie has no objection."

Qianjie snorted coldly and didn't say much, obviously agreeing.

"Okay, then pack up. We'll be ready to go in two hours!" Alicia replied to Dr. Mei and then stood up. "Oh, I miss my room already."

Two hours, this was obviously the time Alicia gave to say goodbye to Ai Yue and the others.

After all, Aponia also needs to explain the next situation to everyone in the sanatorium, and Ai Yue - although he doesn't have so many people to take care of, there are people who want to say goodbye.

Padufilis, Ai Yue never saw her again since that night.

Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that she has been staying in the sanatorium. After all, there are so many important people gathered here, and Padofelice probably won't get close to them easily.

Thinking of this, Ai Yue went back to his residence.
