Their commission was suspicious.

“Mei, you need to understand something. Sometimes, feelings can't be judged solely by how long you've known each other; you also need to consider whether you're destined to be together. And my connection with Hua is incredibly deep. Besides, Hua is so interesting, why wouldn't I like her?”

Inside the bar, everyone who witnessed this scene turned to look at Fu Hua, who was sitting near the center position, and Hua, who was sitting next to Fu Hua.

"What are you looking at those two for? Look at me." The Herrscher of Knowledge stood up and waved her hand, unconvinced.

"Xiao Shi, sit down," Fu Hua said coldly.

"..." Looking at the old antique that appeared quite indifferent on the surface, but whose faint reddish hue could occasionally be seen in the reflection of the darkness, the Law Master hesitated to speak.

Is it possible that the kind of fate Chen Luo mentioned was because of me, not because of you?

But those who understand the laws dare not speak of it.

I'm afraid I'll get beaten up if I tell.

"Interesting? I don't think this assessment is suitable for Hua," Mei said somewhat uncertainly.

“You don’t understand, I prefer honest people,” Chen Luo said.

It's only fun when people are constantly teasing each other.

"Okay, I really don't understand, but I feel I need to remind you."

"Ok?"

“After hearing that you were imprisoned, Möbius came to the interrogation room, but due to his identity, he could only stand outside the one-way glass and listen to the conversation inside,” Dr. Möbius said, pointing to the glass that was completely opaque from the interrogation room.

After Dr. Mei pressed a button, the originally one-sided transparent glass suddenly became two-sided.

Chen Luo also saw Mebius outside, whose face was as cold as a snake.

"!!!"

"Think carefully about how to appease Dr. Mebius," Dr. Mebius said to Chen Luo with a sigh.

"Kevin, save me." Chen Luo looked at Kevin, who was sitting next to Mei.

Kevin said he was powerless to do anything about it.

"Don't look at Kevin, there's nothing he can do. I can plead for you, whether it's with Hua or Mebius. But..." Dr. Mebius suddenly spoke up.

"But what?" Chen Luo pressed.

“I think a cake alone isn’t enough for Kevin’s birthday party, and I don’t want to see any instant noodles at Kevin’s birthday party,” Dr. Mei said, pushing up her glasses. The cold glare almost blinded Chen Luo.

"..."

Isn't this an abuse of power for personal gain?

This must be an abuse of power for personal gain, right?

“I think so too. Don’t worry, I’ll make Kevin an 18-layer cake, plus a Manchu Han Imperial Feast!” Chen Luo said decisively.

"I don't need an 18-layer cake, but I don't want to see instant noodles."

"Absolutely no instant noodles. How can you eat instant noodles at a birthday party?" Chen Luo said firmly.

"......" by Kevin.

Kevin really wanted to eat instant noodles, but he didn't dare to interrupt and could only obediently take notes from the side.

“Well, I will make a fair and impartial judgment, but you’ll have to make do on the bed next to me tonight. The Moth of Fire team might interrogate you when they return, so we can’t let you go,” Mei said.

But speaking of which, why haven't we heard from Sakura for so long?

It couldn't be that they encountered some powerful enemy, could it?

But Sakura is a fusion warrior.

Well, it must have taken up some time dealing with the aftermath.

“I understand. This room is actually quite nice. I shared a room with a suicide squad during the Great Collapse,” Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo was referring to Changkong City, which was in the third collapse.

The bar? Let them keep having fun, they can't cause any major trouble anyway.

Moreover, the more fun they have, the higher the bar's revenue for the day.

"Okay." May nodded and then left the interrogation room with Kevin.

Immediately afterwards, Mebius saw Möbius standing in front of the glass that had become one-sided again.

"How is it going?" Mebius asked.

“It’s not a big problem. We can easily tell the outside world that he was simply deceived and was just young and naive. Besides, with you and me vouching for him, there’s basically no problem,” Mei said.

It's worth mentioning that although the glass is one-way, allowing Möbius to see what's happening inside, it's soundproof.

So Mebius heard nothing.

“However, Luo seems determined to protect Hua and keep Hua as his assistant,” Mei suddenly said.

“That’s normal. Should you handle this or should I?” Möbius wasn’t surprised by Chen Luo’s actions.

Oh.

China.

Oh.

“I’ll do it. To the higher-ups, Hua is just an ordinary soldier; they don’t care about him. But Luo is valuable enough; they don’t want anything to happen to Luo even more than we do.”

Even those in higher positions harbor a desire to become fusion warriors.

After all, fusion warriors sometimes represent immortality and immense combat power. However, the success rate of fusion surgery is truly appalling.

Chen Luo effectively resolved the issue of the high danger level of fusion warriors.

So as long as Chen Luo doesn't destroy the entire Moth Chaser, nothing too serious will happen.

Mei was just trying to scare Chen Luo so that he would learn a lesson from this incident.

Chapter 774 Thirteen Heroes, Thirteen...ordinary people

"I always feel like Chen Luo is exceptionally gentle with the First Civilization Era?" Yakumo Yukari covered one eye and looked at Chen Luo lying on a cot on the big screen and said.

“Indeed, if he had been imprisoned for most of the day elsewhere and couldn’t even come to the bar to collect his wish, it would have been worse than killing Chen Luo. He would have already turned the prison upside down. Now he’s actually sitting obediently in the interrogation room.” Wendy had to admit this.

"What do you know? Don't be fooled by how comfortably Alo is lying there right now; he might be heartbroken," said the Herrscher of Knowledge.

After all, the bar's operating cost of 50 raw stones per hour should be too much for Chen Luo to handle.

Those who understand the laws of the world are aware of this matter.

If this were in the main world, Chen Luo might have directly commanded a massive army of puppets to smash up the prison, and then accidentally slipped out.

It's true that Chen Luo dotes on the pre-civilization too much.

"But are we really going to stay here and watch forever? It's so boring," Merlin said, looking at Chen Luo, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, doing nothing.

Is this considered a live stream of sleeping?

Merlin could tolerate watching something amusing, but watching Chen Luo sleep was something he was genuinely not interested in.

Merlin was even less interested, especially since he was the one standing there holding up the antenna.

"Hold on a little longer, I have a feeling Chen Luo won't just sit here and wait to die," Yukari Yakumo said.

“But if I remember correctly, Lolo was indeed locked in the interrogation room for a whole night. Of course, I didn’t find out about this until the next day, otherwise I would have gone to laugh at her.” Alicia said.

Although it was indeed a bit underhanded to mock Chen Luo for being arrested and interrogated in order to keep Aponia's secret, Alicia had no idea about these things at the time.

"Hmm. Actually, this is a good experience. At least it lets A-Luo rest. Running around all day must be quite tiring," the Herrscher of Knowledge said considerately to Chen Luo.

The Law of Consciousness resides in Chen Luo's sea of ​​consciousness, but even the Law of Consciousness feels tired watching Chen Luo run around every day, let alone Chen Luo who is actually running around.

"Sigh, can't we have something more exciting? Like, Chen Luo being exposed for some special reason, and then being abandoned by everyone?" Yakumo Yukari thought maliciously.

Yakumo could only think this way because he knew that Chen Luo could handle most things, and this kind of trouble would at most just cause Chen Luo some trouble.

But it's precisely because it's only annoyance that Yukari Yakumo can still laugh.

"Speaking of which, what exactly is this 'Human Orange Juice Project' that you guys were talking about?" someone asked curiously.

"Well, you should ask Xiaoshi about this; she should know more about it."

"Ask me? Now you know to look at me? Where were you just now?"

"Great Lady Herrscher of Knowledge, please satisfy our curiosity?"

"Well, if you insist on saying that, then I don't mind giving you a hint."

"The so-called Human Orange Juice Project is a plan to turn all the billions of people in the First Civilization Era into dolls and then put them into a doll collection library."

“You all know that Alo has the ability to turn other people into puppets.”

"Like Yvette, who's bad at games but loves to have fun?" someone asked.

"That's right, it's Yvette, who's both bad at the game and loves to have fun."

"Since the destruction of the previous civilization was almost inevitable, but Chen Luo did not want it to simply disappear into the annals of history, he made a very outrageous decision: to turn all of humanity in the previous civilization into puppets. The special potion that Chen Luo concocted, which could turn ordinary people into puppets, looked like orange juice, so it was called the Human Orange Juice Project."

"That sounds like a terrifying workload, billions of people..." Yukari Yakumo sighed.

Even Yukari Yakumo didn't dare to do something this crazy back then.

So Yukari Yakumo simply gathered together a group of youkai who were willing to follow her and then established Gensokyo.

The sheer volume of work involved in turning everyone—good or bad, hostile or friendly—like Chen Luo into puppets and throwing them into his own world is immeasurable.

"The workload is indeed terrifying, but thankfully, we now have the convenience of the River God's abilities combined with the power of faith." The Herrscher of Knowledge expressed considerable agreement.

Even with the River God's abilities and the power of faith, Chen Luo still has a long way to go to achieve this goal, and the workload is still enormous, though not to the point of despair.

"But if we do that, are those pre-civilization people who have been turned into puppets still considered the original them?" someone asked.

"Don't worry about that. According to Alo, after Alo had everyone in the world drink that orange juice, they wouldn't die immediately. Their original life trajectory would remain the same after drinking the orange juice. It's just that their souls would be uploaded to the group network at the moment of their death and then thrown into the world of puppets."

"Moreover, when these dolls come into the world of dolls, they will automatically forget that they are dolls and continue to live in the world of dolls as usual."

"Chen Luo had no intention of disturbing their lives. He just wanted them to be able to live their lives peacefully and harmoniously, just like in the previous civilization, and in a world that had not yet collapsed."

Perhaps because this matter concerns Chen Luo's reputation, the person who knows the law explains it with extra care.

Moreover, the one who knew the law still harbored some selfish motives, namely, to see if there was anyone among the bar's customers who could help Chen Luo.

Having one more person help might reduce the pressure a little, though it may seem insignificant, it could be crucial.

The last straw that broke the camel's back is not the final straw, but the final straw is absolutely crucial.

"It sounds good, but does Chen Luo really have a place to house billions of people? And if he moves them to a different location, wouldn't that affect their lives? Or is he going to use the power of the Law of Knowledge to change their minds?"

"No, no, no, there really is an Earth in Alo's puppet world that is a 1:1 replica of the previous civilization. Alo paid a huge price to obtain it."

"Acquiring this Earth is also a crucial step in Alo's Human Orange Juice Project," explained the Lawgiver of Knowledge.

"In that puppet world, what has been lost will be regained. What has been separated will be reunited. Under the subtle influence of the puppet world, there will be no war, and resources will be distributed as fairly as possible. However, apart from Chen Luo, basically no one will know about all that is happening," the Herrscher of Knowledge said with a sigh.

Chen Luo's actions might stem from a desire to compensate for the loss of the previous civilization, or perhaps from a reluctance to witness the demise of an entire world before his eyes.

"Although this plan is not perfect, it is as perfect as possible."

"...It's hard to imagine what Chen Luo was thinking when he started this plan," Yakumo Yukari mused.

"Faced with a civilization that will eventually disappear, is it really necessary to pay so much for a false continuation of that civilization?"

"..."

The bar suddenly fell into a brief silence.

“A false continuation? That’s not necessarily true,” Alicia suddenly said.

"Perhaps in your eyes, the civilization rebuilt in the world of dolls may seem somewhat fake, but for those who have truly experienced life and death, what does it matter if it's fake?"

"And this is not an illusion, but reality. My intentions are real, my actions are real, and my emotions are real. In this life, there are only so many things that are truly important. When you possess what you cherish most, it's as if you possess the whole world. I'm actually quite looking forward to the moment when this world is fully completed."

"And you don't understand. You don't understand that in a world full of collapse, you face the danger of collapse at any time and in any place. No matter how high your position is, you are still equal in the face of collapse. This is not a world full of war, but it is even worse."

"Some people's wishes are very simple, perhaps just to fill their stomachs and to bask in the sun in peace."

"Some people just want to go to school quietly, be able to hug their loved ones normally, share their joys and sorrows, and then continue to face each day with positivity."

"Some people just want to inherit their family's martial arts school and live a simple, unchanging life."
