Their commission was suspicious.

"However, perhaps you don't know, Doctor, as the witch's companion and the sole survivor of the fifth squad, I easily attract strange looks from everyone." Hua's voice was indifferent, but Chen Luo could detect a hint of disappointment.

"If I were to act as your doctor and bodyguard, it would likely attract more attention."

"Is that what you're worried about? You really are a kind person. But I have to say, you don't need to worry about that at all." Chen Luo put his hand directly on Hua's shoulder.

"You know me, right?" Chen Luo asked immediately afterward.

"I know him." Hua was about to remove Chen Luo's hand from his shoulder when he heard the question.

"A survivor of the 6th Honkai Impact 3rd, a hot topic of discussion among the Fire Moths recently, and currently the only known special ability user who can survive a failed fusion surgery," Hua said.

Hua learned about this information partly from the internal network of the "Chasing the Fire" organization, and partly from the information that was sent to him along with his appointment notice.

"That's very true, but you've forgotten one thing: I'm an assistant in Möbius's lab. To put it bluntly... well, don't tell anyone. To put it bluntly, as Möbius's assistant, I don't care about Möbius's bad reputation, so why would I care about yours?"

"You don't actually think your infamy is greater than Dr. Möbius's, do you?"

"..."

It was all well-reasoned and supported by evidence, and Hua had no way to refute it.

After all, Hua might be considered by others as a witch's companion, but at most they would only exchange a few words, and at most they would be ignored.

But Dr. Möbius's infamous reputation for the fire-chasing moth was enough to stop a child from crying.

The laboratory where Mebius worked was known as the Devil's Laboratory, the kind of place that people would avoid if they passed by.

How could Hua possibly compare to Mebius?

"Thank you," Hua said softly.

Hua naturally knew that Chen Luo was trying to comfort him. Although the other party's method of comforting him was a bit strange, it was undeniably very effective.

“I’m not good at offering comforting words, so I’m just telling the truth. I’ve decided you’re my bodyguard. You’re quite capable, a fellow Honkai survivor, close in age, and good-looking. In short, I wouldn’t trade you for anything,” Chen Luo said bluntly.

"..."

"Let's shake hands. From today onwards, stop calling yourself a bodyguard or anything like that. When you're in front of outsiders or leaving Moth of Fire, I'll introduce you as my assistant." Chen Luo extended his hand to Hua.

"...Understood, doctor." Seeing Chen Luo's firm tone and eyes, Hua knew that she really had to take this job.

Although Hua hadn't had much contact with the boy in front of him, who was roughly the same age as him, he could tell that the other person was indeed a good person in the general sense.

Moreover, Hua himself had no room to refuse the orders from higher-ups, and a change of environment would also be good for him.

Although Hua is quite strong, she can't help but care about being called a witch's companion all the time.

“Alright, I’m going to give you your first order, my assistant,” Chen Luo said.

"Please speak," Hua nodded.

"From now on, call me Doctor."

"Huh? But Doctor, you're not a PhD yet, are you?"

"It's not now, but it definitely will be in the future, so you can keep calling it that for now."

“Okay, Doctor…”

After becoming Chen Luo's bodyguard, Chen Luo became Hua's only direct superior.

Similar to maids and servants in ancient times, their status changed according to the status of their mistress.

Chen Luo also has a great deal of authority over the other party during their working hours.

As a warrior who chases the flame, Hua is on duty 24 hours a day.

"Okay, now I'll give you your second task."

"Please speak, Doctor."

"Smash that recorder in Alicia's hand over there. People will die if that conversation gets out," Chen Luo said, pointing back at Alicia, who was standing openly a short distance away.

At this moment, Alicia was holding a tape recorder in her hand.

Especially using Möbius's infamy to comfort Hua—what if Möbius found out about this…

They won't die, but coaxing them is still a hassle.

If the difficulty of the mission to coax the Herrscher of Knowledge is one star, then the difficulty of coaxing Mebius is four stars.

"Oh no! We've been found out." Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Alicia quickly hid the recorder behind her back.

"Go quickly, Watson, you're carrying the weight of my life on your shoulders," Chen Luo said, patting Fu Hua on the shoulder.

"Doctor, my name is Hua."

“Of course I know. There’s a story from my hometown about a brilliant detective whose most trusted and compatible assistant was named Watson. So go on, Watson.”

"Okay, Doctor." Hua nodded and then ran towards Alicia at a speed befitting a serious combatant.

"Hey, hey, Hua, what are you doing? Don't be so serious! No, my tape recorder!"

"Sigh, alright, alright, since you've already broken it, you don't need to apologize like this, okay? It feels like it's my fault..."

"I forgive you. In the end, the real culprit is Chen Luo, right? You wait, I'm going to settle the score with him right now."

"Hey, don't block my way. Hua, how long have you been working as his bodyguard? Are you already in the role so quickly?"

Alicia glared angrily at Chen Luo, who was hiding behind Hua and making faces at her.

Hua is really too honest, too serious, and too responsible.

The key issue is that Alicia is hesitant to take action against Hua because of what Hua has recently experienced. After all, damaging Hua's confidence as a guard would leave Hua feeling guilty, which would put Alicia in a difficult position.

That wretched Chen Luo, he actually got a good hand!

Looking at Chen Luo, who was becoming smug again behind Hua, Alicia felt helpless.

Others are just using someone else's power to intimidate others; you're just using someone else's power to intimidate others.

Seeing that Alicia was completely helpless against him, Chen Luo was also happy.

Although turning Hua into my assistant did slightly increase the threat level, it wasn't much, and it seems worthwhile now.

Hahaha, I have General Watson, who can slay Alicia!

……

"This notice came a bit hastily, and I didn't have time to prepare any gift for you. How about this, you study martial arts, right? I have a set of scientific training methods here, so I'll give them to you as a gift," Chen Luo said, handing a book to Hua.

"This is..."

"This is a family heirloom, nothing particularly important. It's basically just some scientific methods for practicing boxing. There's nothing to worry about; just take a look." Chen Luo said, handing Hua the basic close-combat techniques he had spent half an hour compiling.

Chen Luo didn't write anything too profound; it's too early for Hua to understand at this stage.

However, some scientific boxing techniques should indeed be corrected at the very basic level.

Because of the threat level progress bar, Chen Luo didn't dare to give Fu Hua too many good things.

"Alright, you can go train on your own now, or go visit the Möbius Lab. They should be quite welcoming to you. As for me, don't worry about me. As long as I don't leave the Moth of Fire, my safety is not an issue."

"Okay, I'll go train now," Hua said, holding the thin manual in his hand.

Although Hua offered to stay at Chen Luo's house as his assistant, Chen Luo declined.

They said it was inconvenient to take up Hua's leisure time.

Under Chen Luo's insistence, Hua had no choice but to compromise.

"Good luck! I'll go to the engineering department and see if I can get you a good pair of boxing gloves." Chen Luo waved to her from the doorway.

“Thank you, Doctor. But the standard equipment issued by the Firemoth is already enough,” Hua said honestly.

"But the problem is you don't have any other equipment, like sunglasses or something. As a qualified assistant, you should have these things. Okay, you don't need to worry about it. I'll pick some out for you later." Chen Luo felt that it was a bit too much to ask Fu Hua to do aesthetics.

"See you tomorrow."

"Okay." Hua nodded and then closed the door for Chen Luo.

"Phew, I've finally gotten rid of that great demon lord Alicia. Her protection work was indeed perfect, ensuring that no one would dare to bully me. But among the Moths who bullied me, wasn't she the one who did the worst job?"

"What goes around comes around. Heaven will never forgive anyone. Just you wait..." Chen Luo walked towards the inner room with great interest.

Chen Luo usually keeps the curtains drawn all year round because he wants to ensure that no one will know he is in the house or that he is not in the house.

To achieve the goal of "Schrödinger's Chen Luo".

Therefore, Chen Luo's room was somewhat dark.

In this dimly lit corner, behind Chen Luo's unseen back, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness, silent yet extremely deadly.

A good and qualified assassin must be able to release their killing intent silently without alerting their prey.

With light steps, Chen Luo pushed open the bedroom door and walked towards the bedroom. A small tranquilizer gun appeared in his right hand.

However, this tranquilizer gun doesn't contain any anesthetics; instead, it contains the most potent concentrated Honkai energy.

In a world in chaos, killing someone silently is no problem.

But here, they are moths drawn to the flame.

The most troublesome thing is figuring out how to fake the cause of death.

For a professional assassin, killing someone is not difficult; the trouble lies in dealing with what happens after their death, such as creating a cause of death.

In a world ravaged by Honkai energy, what cause of death could be more natural than an overdose of Honkai energy within the body?

For ordinary civilians, this way of dying is indeed somewhat unusual, but for a survivor of the 6th Honkai Impact 3rd who has worked in a laboratory for a long time, this way of dying, though abrupt, is not out of place.

Even if someone has doubts about this, they cannot suspect anyone else.

If someone dies in this way, wouldn't the first suspect be that devilish scientist, Mebius?

reason?

Because his original fusion surgery was perfected and popularized by others, even surpassing his own in popularity, he gained notoriety while the other gained fame. Under this constant external stimulation, he developed resentment towards the prodigy he had personally nurtured, which led to his motive for murder...

Kill two birds with one stone.

Mebius was also someone who needed to be eliminated.

A brief whooshing sound rang out, and the tranquilizer gun in his hand shot towards the opponent in an instant.

While a professional assassin might be able to dodge a tranquilizer gun at close range, the target was just an ordinary researcher.

The assassin had not considered the possibility of failure.

And in fact, it did succeed.

The anesthetic was injected into Chen Luo's back, and the concentrated liquid from the syringe was injected into his body.

but……

"Hmm, the Honkai energy concentration is so low, it's really a waste of my expectations. And using Honkai energy concentrate to assassinate a Herrscher, I really don't know how you came up with that idea." Casually pulling out the tranquilizer dart from his back, Chen Luo turned to look at the assassin behind him whose pupils had shrunk slightly.

If Chen Luo hadn't deliberately lowered his body's defenses, the anesthetic wouldn't have even been able to break through them.

That single injection of the Honkai Concentrate was enough to instantly turn a person into a zombie, but the other party seemed completely unharmed, which was sure to shock the assassin.

And what did the other party say?

A healer?

"..." Upon hearing this word, the assassin instinctively wanted to call for help.

Although she might be exposed, Moth Chasing the Flame naturally understands best which is more important, being a murderer or a healer.

But... the assassin discovered that he had somehow lost the ability to make a sound.

Chen Luo's eyes, faintly glowing red in the darkness, were the other person's last impression of this world.

"Hmm, what should I call you? Assassin Number Two, how about that?"

"If you don't answer, I'll take that as a yes."

Chen Luo chuckled as he looked at the assassin who was almost instantly wrapped in silk threads.

Chapter 605 The Fall of the Angel

"I wonder if Killer Number 2 turned the other party's employer into a puppet as well," Chen Luo muttered to himself after arriving in another world.

"Let me do a divination." Chen Luo took out his Luoshu (a divination book) with his backhand.
