"Good, that's it."

Seeing the monster turn around, the boy grinned and ran towards the school gate: "I've been wanting to skip class for a while now!"

At nine o'clock in the morning, a good time for studying, the boy ran out of the school.

Then the next second, he stopped and an awkward smile appeared on his face: "I knew it... How could there be only one monster?"

Not far in front of him, another monster, also five meters tall, turned its head and stopped.

The monster behind him seemed to know that the villain in front of him had no way to escape, and also stopped.

"Alright."

Realizing he was being double-teamed, the boy simply sat down. "At least I bought some time, so I can save a few people, right?"

He closed his eyes, and the scene of his parents leaving home many years ago came to his mind again.

Mom and Dad, I can finally see...

The next second, an explosion sounded in his ears.

"Boom!"

One front and one back, stereo dual channel.

The boy realized something and opened his eyes immediately. He saw a figure standing in front of him. The other person was holding a heavy firearm that looked very sci-fi. The place where the two monsters were was now a scorched earth.

"A survivor was found surrounded by two Honkai beasts and has been rescued."

The man holding the gun pressed the side of his helmet and gave a brief reply before looking at the boy behind him. "Are you hurt?"

The boy shook his head subconsciously.

"You're brave, boy."

The other party then nodded in approval, "Now we can go back to the school shelter."

With that said, he planned to leave.

"and many more!"

The boy subconsciously called out to the other party, "Who are you? Are you specifically here to deal with those monsters? What are those monsters like?"

"You'll find out the details soon."

The man turned around and pointed to the badge on his chest. "As for us, we are the 'Fire Moths'."

Fire-chasing moth...

Watching the other person leave, the boy subconsciously clenched his fists.

Mom and Dad, I'll come to see you later.

Chapter 21: Don’t be afraid, child. I’m here to save you with the divine sound.

Under the deliberate relaxation of public opinion control, the truth about Honkai began to spread on the Internet in various ways.

Although there was already a tendency for the truth to come out, after it was completely released, the speed at which the news of the collapse spread was still a little beyond the expectations of the Fire Moth.

As the truth about the collapse spread, the Fire Moth finally entered the public eye.

About a week later, governments around the world united and officially issued a statement about the truth behind the Honkai through the United Nations. They also brought the Fire Moth, an organization specifically responsible for managing Honkai-related disasters, to the forefront and released a promotional video previously produced by Alicia and others.

Of course, as the highest-level governing body on Earth, the United Nations would certainly not have prepared just one short film. Many details about the war against Honkai have also been disclosed, and experts and scholars from various countries have issued statements and discussions on the phenomenon of Honkai, trying to eliminate people's fear of Honkai in various ways.

After all, there had been some controversy within the Fire Moths about revealing the truth about Honkai. Many people were worried that doing so would cause a large number of humans to feel despair, thus exacerbating the collapse of society.

Human beings are very good at deceiving themselves. If some things are not brought to the surface, even if people notice them, they will still find excuses for themselves and maintain their previous lives. However, if this false disguise is exposed, this self-hypnosis can no longer be maintained.

But more people believe that humans are not creatures that will sit and wait for death. Once they realize that an unavoidable disaster is about to come, the instinct for survival will stimulate them to struggle with all their might, so as to gain a glimmer of hope for themselves and the entire ethnic group.

The final result also proved this conclusion. After the United Nations government officially disclosed the truth about Honkai, although there were some small-scale riots and chaos around the world, the overall trend was still positive. The expected large-scale riots did not occur, and even the number of people who suffered mental breakdowns and chose to commit suicide was very small.

"According to global online monitoring results, over 24 people chose to commit suicide in the past 48569 hours. Thanks to my timely notification, of them were saved."

In the Light Star Experimental Base, Prometheus reported her results, while Ai Yue sat silently at his desk, his face shrouded in shadow, making it impossible to see his expression.

"Compared to the world's population of over four billion, cases like this can be described as 'insignificant'."

Prometheus's avatar emerged and patted Ai Yue's head. "You've done very well, Dr. Ai Yue. Please be proud of yourself."

"No one's life can be described as insignificant, Rose."

Ai Yue sighed and leaned back in his office chair. "Of course, some things are indeed difficult to avoid. If a person truly lacks even a glimmer of hope, then even if someone is willing to lend a helping hand, they won't be able to save them."

“Don’t dwell on things that can’t be undone. You’ll miss out on things that could be saved.”

Prometheus withdrew his hand and stood aside. "This is what you once told me."

"Don't worry, I don't get depressed that easily."

Ai Yue waved his hand, and the lights in the room came on again. "But someone has to be held accountable for what happened... Are Eden and the others here?"

"About to cross the portal."

Prometheus said, releasing the surveillance footage from another room, "Ms. Eden, Dr. Mebius, Miss Aponia, and Miss Hua have all arrived."

In the picture, four people have just passed through the portal and arrived inside the base.

"Tell them I'll be right there."

Ai Yue stood up and said, "Also, record all the people who died in this incident, including those who died due to riots and other reasons."

"understood."

Ai Yue left his room and soon came to the reception hall. At this moment, Mebius had already skillfully ordered Quinn's drones to start entertaining the guests. If Ai Yue had been a step later, someone would have taken out the wine bottle.

"Eden, it's still daytime."

Looking at the blush on Eden's face, Ai Yue couldn't help but sigh, "Are you planning to get drunk now?"

"In fact, I was having a drink before coming here."

Eden's words were already showing a hint of drunkenness. "Shouldn't we have a few more drinks for such a celebratory achievement, my friend?"

Aponiya on the side also nodded. Although it was not obvious from her appearance, Ai Yue was sure that she was among those who joined in the drinks.

But this is understandable, after all, they had just done something that affected people all over the world.

“Are the statistical results out yet?”

Mebius asked, "What are the unrest indicators like around the world?"

Although she showed an indifferent expression on her face, the hint of urgency in her tone still revealed her true thoughts.

She was asking about the consequences of revealing the truth about Honkai. Although various countries were still compiling relevant data, Mebius was certain that Prometheus must have already had the results.

Although the approximate results can be seen from the Internet, Mebius still hopes to obtain more accurate data.

"It's 20 percent lower than expected."

Ai Yue smiled and said, "Ladies, it's indeed time to start celebrating."

Mebius breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and Hua also smiled from the bottom of his heart. Aponia did not show any reaction, as if she had expected it. As for Eden, she stood up and walked towards the portal.

"I want to go back,"

The world-class singer's movements were a little erratic at the moment. "Such a blessing, of course we have to celebrate with the best wine..."

In the end, it was Ai Yue who stopped her.

"I didn't expect the effect of 'Divine Sound' to be so good,"

Mebius sat down and picked up his wine glass. "This is only the lowest level of divine sound. If it can be improved a little bit..."

"Then there might be unpredictable consequences."

Ai Yue shook his head. "Mobius, don't be impatient. The 'Divine Sound' originates from Aponia's 'Commandments'. You should know how difficult it is to control this power."

The "Divine Sound Project" analyzes Aponia's "Commandments" to obtain "pseudo-commandments" that can control the results and directions of influences. Then, by combining them with Eden's music, while eliminating all uncontrollable factors, it tries its best to boost people's hope and courage in this way and minimize the chaos caused by the truth being revealed. This is what the four people in front of us have been doing for some time.

Chapter 22: There's nothing much to talk about with those of you who don't drink.

As a technology that already existed in the original plot, Ai Yue helped it to be born in the world ahead of time in a more gentle way.

Among them, Aponia and Mebius are the main participants, Eden assists and is responsible for coordinating the atmosphere, and Hua... Hua is the guinea pig.

Originally, there was someone else who was to be the guinea pig for this project, but after Hua realized that she was actually the most suitable candidate, she volunteered to take on this responsibility. Ai Yue couldn't persuade her, so he simply agreed.

At present, Hua is indeed the most suitable candidate, otherwise the plan will have to be postponed for a while.

"You, you are still so cautious at this time."

Mebius glanced at Ai Yue, then yawned, "Never mind, you have the final say anyway... Never mind, I'm going to go to sleep first, you guys chat."

As she said this, she drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and then walked out of the room.

Ai Yue did not stop her, because he could see a trace of fatigue that was hard to conceal beneath her carefully prepared makeup. It seemed that she had tortured herself a lot during this period.

"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Mebius."

Eden raised his glass and said, "I have prepared a gift for you. I hope you will like it when the time comes."

Eden's Gift... It seems that the Golden Courtyard will also change hands early.

Ai Yue shook his head slightly, then looked at Hua, who had been silent the whole time: "Hua, is there any problem on your side?"

“Although there were some twists and turns, the final result was still good.”

Hua recalled his experiences during this period, with a subtle expression on his face, "Dr. Ai Yue, look——"

She stretched out one hand, palm facing upwards, and without any unnecessary movement, a flame soon emerged from her palm out of thin air.

Without becoming a fusion warrior or using armor, the fact that a human being can create flames out of thin air means that she has been able to master a trace of the power of Honkai energy.

Although it is still weak, it is undoubtedly a good start.

"good."

Ai Yue walked up to Hua and checked him over and over again. "Apart from that, are there any injuries?"

Looking at Ai Yue fiddling with Hua repeatedly, and Hua being examined over and over again by Ai Yue like a doll, Aponia couldn't help but sigh and said, "With me here, even if Mobius really has a plan, it won't be possible to implement it. Don't worry, Ai Yue."

"makes sense."

Ai Yue finally felt relieved. "However, even if everything is normal at this stage, subsequent research must be carried out with caution. The flaws of the 'Commandments' are by no means easily avoided."

"That's what Dr. Mobius said."

Hua nodded, a puzzled expression on his face. "Come to think of it, it seems like Dr. Mobius has become different than before. He's like... a little more humane?"

"Okay, stop standing there,"

Eden shook his wine glass and called out to the two people, "Why don't you try my Atla Juemu? This is brewed with the Shanke fruit that is unique to Mu Continent. The bottle in my hand is as old as Atla City itself."

"You're probably the only one who can casually bring out such fine wine."

Ai Yue shook his head. "Forget about Hua and me. Quinn, give me two bottles of soda."

Hua raised his hand cautiously: "Can I have some juice?"

"Then juice."

"What a shame, this was prepared especially for you."

Facing Ai Yue's refusal, Eden did not force it. He just shook his head and looked at Aponiya with a smile, "It seems that only we can taste this fine wine."

"It's a pity that Ai Li can't come today. I'm a little disappointed."

Aponya said with a smile, "But after finishing this bottle of wine, I should say goodbye."

Thanks to Ai Yue's intervention, Aponya, who did not cause too many bad consequences, now behaves in a style completely different from that in the original plot. Influenced by many factors, she is now facing the world with a more positive attitude.

In addition to being responsible for the management of "Chaoyang College" and "The Deep Place", Aponia is now also preparing for foundation-related matters with Eden. As the Fire Moth appears in the public eye, he will probably take on more work in the future.

"It's rare that the project you're working on has come to an end. I thought you would take a few days off."

Eden was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise, "Do you need my help with things at school?"

"If you're willing to take a few music lessons, that would be great."
