Their commission was suspicious.

The memory chip Möbius hatched from an egg.

Although Alicia knew that Mebius probably didn't want to say much, Alicia was indeed hit where it hurt by Mebius, and looked disappointed.

"The Heroic Chaser System? What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Hua asked after noticing Alicia's unusual behavior.

Alicia even went so far as to coax Gretsch into agreeing to form the Thirteen Heroes of Fire Chaser, so naturally she wouldn't forget Hua, and Hua also knew about this matter.

“The higher-ups at Firemoth don’t agree. The Thirteen Heroes rejected my proposal and only agreed to let Kevin, myself, Wilvi, Sue, and you form the Five Heroes.” Alicia sighed.

"Huh? Wu Yingjie?" Hua frowned.

“Hmm. They say Eden is a person without a future, Aponia, Kosmo, and Thousand Calamities are all too dangerous, and they are also wary of Dr. Mebius. Gretchen is too young, and as for Pado… they’ve never even heard of Pado.” Alicia said somewhat dejectedly.

Actually, Alicia was being rather restrained in her words. In the eyes of the higher-ups of the Firemoth, Aponia, Kosmo, and Thousand Calamities were not worthy of the name of heroes. They were more like thugs than heroes.

Dr. Mebius, on the other hand, is notorious and has always been regarded as a demon by some members of the Firemoth. He is often subject to budget cuts by the Firemoth's higher-ups, so it is normal for him to disagree.

As it turns out, May's idea was correct: science could not save the previous civilization, so May needed to become the leader of the Moths of Fire.

However, May is only the main leader, not the final decision-maker. There are still some high-level figures involved, and May cannot make a decision on this matter with a single word.

Compared to the other rejected candidates, Kevin and Alicia were selected because they are the strongest warriors of the Fire Moth, Su is a doctor and the head of the Fifth Science Department, and Velvey is the executor of the Divine Key Project. Hua, although young, is a capable fighter and has no obvious bad records.

Hua was once ostracized as a witch's companion, but that wasn't Hua's fault, so it's okay.

"What about Sakura? Sakura has done a lot of work, hasn't she?" Hua noticed someone that Alicia had just passed by.

"Isn't the reason simple? As a member of the Poison Chrysalis and as a [blade], Sakura offended too many people, including some high-ranking members of the Fire Moth," Mebius said slowly.

From the beginning, Mebius did not think that Alicia's idea of ​​the Thirteen Heroes of Fire Chasing would be approved by the higher-ups, but in order to keep Alicia from bothering him, he still chose to agree and let Alicia submit her opinion.

And the result is quite obvious.

"This..." Hua originally thought that even if Ying had no merit, she had worked hard, but she did not expect that she would not be awarded the title of hero for this reason.

"No, I want to try again!" Alicia stood up, her tone very firm.

“Thirteen heroes, not one of them can be missing! Lolo, come help me!” Alicia said, grabbing Chen Luo’s shoulder.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"what?"

“As an unofficial member of the Thirteen Heroes, you certainly need to work hard. And in persuading them about this, Lolo, you have more say than I do, because only you can perform the fusion surgery without side effects. Tomorrow, you'll return to the scene, and after throwing those high-ups onto the operating table, make them sign the papers. If they don't sign, you won't have the surgery!” Alicia said.

Is this... appropriate?

"What's wrong with that? By the way, even if they sign the consent form, they should deliberately fail during the surgery. As long as they don't become fusion warriors, they can never hurt you. Lolo, didn't you do that before?"

"Ahem, does everyone know that I deliberately made the surgery fail?"

"Nonsense. You're making it too obvious."

"What if they make things difficult for me?"

"Then you can stay in the Paradise of Rebirth. Once everyone's memories are stored there, you'll be the safest place. If anyone dares to harm you, Kevin can just unleash a Heavenly Flame and send them to their ashes!"

"Ahem, Ellie, you're going too far."

So...it won't work?

“No, I mean you should go to an even more extreme point. I have a pocket watch here that Vervi gave me; it can hypnotize. You just put an arrow to their forehead, and I'll hypnotize them,” Chen Luo said, holding up Vervi’s pocket watch.

“Hypnosis…” Alicia muttered softly.

"What's wrong? Is this idea not going to work?"

“No, it’s possible. But I just wanted to ask… Lolo, have you ever used this hypnotic pocket watch on a girl? Like me.” Alicia tilted her head.

"Hmm, why do you ask that?"

"Otherwise, why would I like you so much?" Alicia blinked.

"..."

"Pfft, cough cough." Wilvi choked hard on her eight-colored liquor.

"Aren't you two being a bit too presumptuous in front of me?" Mebius said coldly.

Chen Luo broke out in a cold sweat.

Alicia, on the other hand, gave a slightly mischievous smile.

I tricked you into staying silent for ages while you were drinking Alicia-flavored orange juice! Now you're scared, aren't you?

Chapter 2258 Chen Luo: An old cow eating young grass? I'm the young grass!

"Sigh, Dr. Mebius is so boring." Alicia sighed as she drank her pink wine.

"What? You're still expecting Dr. Mebius to fly into a rage, trigger an artificial collapse, and then overturn the table in the Paradise of the Dead lounge?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Alicia, who seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold.

"It's mainly because Dr. Mebius is so indifferent; I don't feel any sense of accomplishment at all," Alicia said, shrugging.

"What kind of sense of accomplishment do you want?" Chen Luo's eyes turned strange.

"I don't really have any other requests. I just want to see if Dr. Möbius will show any signs of envy, jealousy, displeasure, or excitement," Alicia said expectantly.

"...Something's wrong with you."

What the heck is this excitement?

“I feel pretty good. But Dr. Mebius is gone, but the Memory is still here. Dr. Mebius Memory seems more interesting.” Alicia looked with interest at the Memory Mebius who had fallen asleep in the lounge after his drunken outburst.

"You'd better not try anything with Memory Mebius... Never mind, before leaving Paradise of the Past, I'll take her back to her room first." Chen Luo hesitated for a moment before picking up the rather petite Memory Mebius.

"No, I haven't seen enough yet." Seeing the abnormally quiet memory entity, Mebius, leave her after getting drunk, Alicia seemed somewhat frustrated and disappointed.

The memory entity Mabius is quite different from Dr. Mabius; it's very cute, and Alicia hasn't had enough of it yet.

"Alright, Ellie, stop testing Mebius's attitude. Mebius's attitude is that he has no attitude. If you're interested in Chen Luo, you can just go for it. Dr. Mebius doesn't care." After Chen Luo walked away with the memory body Mebius, Velvi said slowly.

"What are you saying? Why don't I understand?" Alicia tilted her head.

"I can only say that those who know, know... Alright, I should go now. After all, I still need to finish making the Key of Binding, and May also wants me to make some kind of transcendent weapon. I'm already overwhelmed." After enjoying her last moments of leisure, Velvi stood up.

As the Minister of Engineering, both researching weapons and building shelters are the most urgent tasks at present. With both positions in hand, Vilvie can be said to be one of the busiest people in the Firemoth right now.

“Oh, speaking of this super-limited weapon project… Velvi, doesn’t the Firemoth have a sword called Durandal?” Alicia suddenly asked.

“Oh, you mean that sword? Yes, there is. It was originally created to control a technology that alters macroscopic properties by manipulating microscopic particles, resulting in a weapon with supercomputing power. Under the guidance of the Fire-Chasing Moth, it continuously underwent mechanical learning, solidifying the results into its own hardware structure. The complete form has seven basic control units, five of which it created through learning… It’s an exceptionally good weapon.” Velvi nodded.

"Then why haven't I heard of anyone using it?" Alicia asked curiously.

"It's because it's become autistic. After becoming fully evolved, it got bored and chose to shut down. You can't wake it up no matter what you do. Are you interested? Ellie, you could try it. Maybe you can wake it up," Velvi said.

"I just think the name sounds nice. But no one can wake him up? Can't even Lolo be woken up?" Alicia asked, somewhat surprised.

“Except for Chen Luo. After all, you know Chen Luo can use any weapon a bit. But every time he wakes up Durandal, they end up arguing. Because in Durandal's eyes, Chen Luo clearly doesn't use her weapon, yet he keeps waking her up. It's very annoying,” Wilvi said.

"This sword is really interesting."

“It’s very interesting, but it’s a pity that it’s such a disobedient weapon. It’s better to leave it in the warehouse to gather dust,” Velvi said.

"What about the Stigmata Project?"

"As for the Stigmata Project, you'll have to ask Mebius. In fact, the Stigmata Project was proposed by Mebius in the first place. However, the final form of the Stigmata Project has not yet been determined. Anyway, Dr. Mebius revised it 17 times, but it was all rejected by Mebius. He should still be racking his brains about it now."

"Then... what about Project Fireseed?" Alicia asked next.

"Project Fireseed... Ellie, this is probably what you're most concerned about. If you're interested, why don't you ask Dr. Mei about it?"

"Okay, I'll go ask in a bit."

"Then I'll be going now. Remember to let me know when the Paradise of the Past decides to keep the memories of all the fusion warriors." After saying that, Velvi finished the last of her drink and got up to leave the lounge.

Now, only Alicia and Aponia remained in the lounge.

"Aponia, can you see my fate line? Can you see what my future will be like?" Alicia asked Aponia curiously.

"...Ellie, did you sense something?" Aponia asked softly.

“…” Alicia paused for a moment.

……

"Sigh." Danzhu sighed.

"Why are you sighing again?" Chen Luo asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Senior Sister Klein, my Senior Sister Klein..."

“Isn’t Klein right in front of you? Didn’t you see him?” Chen Luo said.

"That's the problem. The Senior Sister Klein who's on vacation isn't the real Senior Sister Klein. Chen Luo, tell me, where did you take my Senior Sister Klein?"

"???" by Klein

Klein was momentarily unsure whether Danju was praising or criticizing her.

What do you mean by saying that Klein on vacation isn't the real Klein? Do you have some misunderstanding about my character?

"This bar is really amazing, every time I come here it feels incredible. Chen Luo, you've been keeping this a secret for a long time." Hen sat in the chair, leaning back with the front half of the chair dangling in the air, and raised his glass to Chen Luo.

"Just drink beverages, drink them properly. And if you can't drink alcohol, go to the kids' table, don't hang out with Merlin and Wendy," Chen Luo said, sitting in the bar.

Two days ago, Chen Luo introduced all the characters who were supposed to leave the stage but hadn't died in the tragic incident into the Investiture of the Gods.

Everyone in the previous civilization was given orange juice by Chen Luo, or rather, a dollification mark. Once they died, their souls would be immediately dollified to preserve their souls and revive them in Paradise.

However, Chen Luo didn't intend to let those who hadn't died within the restraining barrier experience the feeling of death, so he simply rescued those he could.

Death... is not a good thing.

"Isn't it because Gretchen and the others are still here? And Blanca won't let me drink." Hen shrugged helplessly.

Because of the nature of bars, you can smell each other's alcohol as long as you are a little distance away. However, you can still smell alcohol when you get home.

"Tsk tsk, people with families have so many constraints." Chen Luo shook his head.

"This is a happy problem, don't you understand?"

"You know what, I really don't understand."

"Chen Luo, don't blame me for saying too much, but you're already this age, it's time to think about settling down."

"...I'm only 18 years old."

"Hey, after the Thousand Lawyers incident, wasn't the legal marriage age for the Fire Moths lowered to 16?" Hen said.

"..."

Chen Luo could not refute this point.

After the Thousand Law Enforcers were wiped out, the pre-civilization was already devastated. In that environment, population size became crucial, so the legal marriage age was lowered considerably.

Blanca gently tugged at LaCrim's clothes, gesturing for the other person to read the current atmosphere of the bar.

After Hen said that Chen Luo should also settle down, the atmosphere in the bar became subtle.

The absurdity of Hen bringing up this topic in the bar is comparable to lighting a lighter because it's too dark to see how much fuel is left in the tank.

"Ahem, ah, I mean... that Investiture of the Gods list is quite amazing. But speaking of which, why did Spassy choose Paradise? Didn't Blanca say that if one's thoughts are disturbed, it might affect one's inspiration for doing laboratory work?" Heng asked.

"You really know how to rub salt in the wound! Do you think I don't want to be on the Investiture of the Gods list? We didn't have the same opportunities as you back then. When I died, Chen Luo hadn't even been listed yet." Spassy sighed.

"Who told you to be so unlucky?" Chen Luo said.

"..."

"But it doesn't matter. Once you become a Wish Walker, the influence will naturally disappear," Chen Luo comforted him.

Of course, this does not mean that after becoming a wish-fulfilling practitioner, the wish-fulfilling practitioner will no longer have faith in and trust in Chen Luo.

Rather, once they become wish fulfillers, their relationship with Chen Luo, the wielder of the power of wishes, will be elevated to a higher form of subordination.

This is a much closer connection than that between a doll and its maker.

"So, you should be secretly happy that you can directly enter the Investiture of the Gods," Spas said, looking at Hen.

Chen Luo now has two ways to ensure that the other party has the ability to be immortal: one is Paradise, and the other is the Investiture of the Gods.

However, Chen Luo obtained the Investiture of the Gods relatively late, and since he knew very few people in the previous civilization, very few people were able to enjoy the special treatment of being included in the Investiture of the Gods by Chen Luo.

The Investiture of the Gods also has a drawback: those whose true spirits enter the Investiture of the Gods can never leave it... unless they ask a transcendent being for help.

Therefore, Chen Luo will only include those who believe in him and whom he also believes in in the Investiture of the Gods.
