Their commission was suspicious.

Chen Luo looked down at the three breakfasts in his hands, silently walked back to the only chair and table, and placed the three breakfasts there.

Now, whose breakfast should we eat first? That is the question.

This becomes even more problematic when the people who provide breakfast are all in front of you.

Of the three breakfasts in front of me, one was brought by Alicia.

Alicia was clearly there for the fun of it all, specifically to wait for her second breakfast.

The second breakfast was brought by Möbius, which was genuinely out of concern. Of course, it could also have been just a routine matter.

The third breakfast was brought by Danzhu and Cangxuan. They had simply brought breakfast after being reminded by Klein.

This is clearly an easy question.

In order to avoid causing a chain of events, Chen Luo decided not to cause any trouble and simply opened Mebius's breakfast.

"Sigh, they didn't even eat the first breakfast I brought. What if it gets cold?" Alicia sighed and shrugged.

"Don't worry, even if it gets cold, I'll finish it," Chen Luo said while eating breakfast.

“Cang Xuan Danzhu is gone, it’s time to go back to the lab,” Möbius said, looking at Chen Luo who was eating breakfast.

"Doctor, can I take leave to stay here with my junior brother? I think he needs someone to keep him company," Danzhu said, raising her hand.

Seeing Danzhu's incredibly brave behavior, Cangxuan quickly tugged at Danzhu's hand.

“No, don’t even think about skipping work.” Mebius directly rejected the excellent excuse for leave that Danju had come up with in three seconds.

"Goodbye, Snake." Chen Luo waved to Mebius.

"Humph."

Mebius didn't say much, but his previously cold expression softened slightly.

"Tsk tsk." Alicia shook her head beside her.

"Alright, Alicia, stop playing around."

"How can you say it's just playing around? I've come to visit you, haven't I?"

“I’m happy to see you, and I’d be even happier if you visited me at a different time than Mebius,” Chen Luo said.

"Doctor, are you sure you can finish these three breakfasts? Do you need me to take the other two away for you?" Hua, who had been watching for a while but didn't understand what was going on, asked.

"Oh, no need for that. I'll try my best to finish all three breakfasts, at least the two that Mebius and Alicia brought," Chen Luo said.

“Danzhu will cry if she hears this,” Alicia said.

"That's better than me starving to death in this interrogation room today."

"But why were you released earlier than me, Hua?" Chen Luo asked.

"I don't know either. Yesterday they just interrogated me briefly. They were quite serious at first, but after receiving a phone call, they released me. And my expression seemed a bit strange," Hua said, shaking his head.

“Ah, I do know why.” Alicia raised her hand.

"I've seen the interrogation transcripts. You two should know the specific reasons for your interrogation: the large number of Honkai patients gathered at the sanatorium, which you failed to report."

"But the reason Hua was released so early is because he appeared to be really ignorant in his confession."

"And also... the statement says that you, Lolo, admitted that you used some leverage to threaten Hua into not telling anyone about this. Uh, to put it simply, it's workplace bullying and unspoken rules. Hmm, it's amazing that you could come up with such a reason, Lolo." Alicia clicked her tongue in amazement.

"Huh? Good grief, so you're making up stories about me like that? I clearly told them to just make up any excuse."

Chen Luo was shocked; Dr. Mei's actions were actually...

Workplace bullying and unspoken rules—it's unbelievable that you could even bring yourself to say that.

"Doctor." Even Hua Laoshi, who was honest to a certain extent, knew what Chen Luo was trying to achieve by making up this reason, and gave Chen Luo a reproachful look.

“Doctor, aren’t you afraid that the Moth of Fire will punish you even more severely if you take all the blame? It might be easier if the two of you share the responsibility,” Hua said.

“That won’t do. It was my own willfulness, how can I let you take the blame? Besides, if it’s equal responsibility, your punishment will definitely be more severe than mine. At the very least, you can’t continue to be my assistant. Then I’ll lose a lovely assistant, won’t I?” Chen Luo said.

"PhD……"

"Are you touched? Then could you please not turn off the emergency braking device on my wheelchair in the future?" Chen Luo looked at Hua expectantly.

"No. Dr. is not allowed to speed in the Fire-Chasing Moths," Hua resolutely refused.

"Hmm... Is anyone there? I want to recant my testimony!" Chen Luo shouted.

"Retracting your testimony is useless."

"Hmm? Who wants to recant their testimony?" a Moth of Fire soldier asked as he entered.

"Sorry, I was just joking," Chen Luo immediately corrected himself.

"Hahahaha." Alicia laughed without any restraint.

"Aili, do you think I can leave this awful place before noon today?" Chen Luo sat down and stuffed his second breakfast into his mouth.

When Chen Luo asked Alicia, she shook her head.

"Don't ask me about that. I'm not in charge of management. If I could make the decision, I would release you right now."

"Really?"

"Of course it's fake. It's better for you to stay here a few more days, so you don't go running around again. Twilight Street... you really dare to go there? Do you know how chaotic it is?" Alicia glanced at Chen Luo complainingly.

"Then next time I go to Twilight Street, will you come with me?"

“Let Hua go with you. Hua’s strength should be enough to handle most situations, and don’t forget that I still need to carry out missions. I’m not someone who’s idle,” Alicia said.

"Hey, aren't you supposed to be a free spirit? Why do I always feel like I see you among the Moths of Fire? It makes me really curious, do you guys actually go on missions or something?" Chen Luo tilted his head.

Admittedly, most of the friends Chen Luo knows from the Fire Moth group are in research positions, such as Mebius, Vervier, Cangxuan, Danzhu, Klein, and so on.

The only combat personnel he knew were rarely seen, and Kevin was almost always protecting Dr. Mei. Only Alicia could appear in front of Chen Luo every day.

"That's because I'm very strong, so I can carry out missions very quickly."

"So your usual missions are all about eliminating Honkai Beasts and the like?"

"Yes, that's right. Although the Great Honkai just happened, it's unlikely to happen again, because Herrschers can't appear in droves. So, the Moths mostly deal with small-scale Honkai phenomena that occur all over the world at any time, like the Honkai that happened in Twilight City last night."

It's impossible for the Great Collapse to happen so many times. The birth of each Herrscher is always separated by a period of time, and during this period, the Fire Moths will enter a relatively relaxed state, but it is only relatively relaxed, and they still need to go on missions all over the world.

Fortunately, due to their special circumstances, Kevin and Alicia will not stray too far from the headquarters of the Firemoth.

Unlike Schicksal, where Durandal alone was responsible for 99% of the Honkai Beast elimination activities, every soldier of the Fire Moth is playing a role.

Of course, if it's a large-scale mission, Alicia will probably disappear for a few days.

However, no such large-scale missions have occurred recently.

"Oh, right, Lolo, do you want to hear about the verdict the higher-ups handed down to you last night?" Alicia suddenly said.

"The verdict was delivered last night? If the verdict was delivered last night, then why are they still locking me up here? If I want to go to prison, I can go to prison; if I want to go to the deepest place, I can go to the deepest place; if I want to go home, I can go home... Or is it that after the provisional verdict was issued, they're still lying in bed and haven't made a final decision yet?"

"What are you thinking? You think the deepest depths are a place you can go? Be careful, or you'll be eaten alive, bones and all," Alicia threatened.

"How scary, how scary," Chen Luo said in a very cooperative manner.

Were they eaten so badly that not even bones were left?

Unless every prisoner in that deepest place possesses Herrscher-level power, it would be somewhat difficult to reach the point where they could completely devour Chen Luo.

However, in the deepest parts... perhaps Chen Luo really should go there.

Although the deepest place sounds terrifying, and it is indeed terrifying, those who can be imprisoned in the deepest place must be heinous criminals, and such criminals are usually the ones who give the Moths of Fire a real headache.

They can give even the most fiery moths a headache. Regardless of their character, their abilities are beyond question.

Moreover, it was precisely because those trapped deep within the Fire-Chasing Moths were sinners whose lives were of no concern that Chen Luo could bring himself to kill them.

"Honestly, why aren't you scared at all? But never mind, that's not the point. The point is, although the higher-ups haven't given a final verdict yet, it seems there are more important things to do. Sakura brought two people back from that sanatorium early this morning."

“And one of those two seems to be very important, which has greatly alarmed the higher-ups, so they simply don’t have time to deal with your affairs right now,” Alicia said.

"This has greatly shocked the higher-ups of the Firemoth. Could it be that Sakura has encountered a Herrscher?" Chen Luo pursed his lips, looking rather skeptical.

However, Chen Luo had already made up his mind. The being who had shaken even the higher-ups was likely referring to Qian Jie, this alien from another planet.

The higher-ups of the Firemoth probably don't know this much yet, but the fact that someone with only an ordinary human body could fight on equal terms with Sakura, who had become a fusion warrior, is already very impressive.

Therefore, compared to Qian Jie, the punishment of Chen Luo, a researcher who was "deceived by others" due to his "youthful ignorance," seemed insignificant.

"How is that possible? The Seventh Herrscher... cough cough, anyway, the Herrscher just disappeared, it's impossible for a new one to appear immediately. But the fact that the higher-ups held a meeting overnight shows that this matter is indeed very important, and both Dr. May and Dr. Möbius are paying close attention to it."

When talking about the Seventh Herrscher, Alicia glanced at Hua beside her.

When Hua heard this title, his expression seemed a little forlorn.

However, perhaps a new belief has emerged to support them, preventing Hua from becoming complacent again.

After all, Hua has now been given a new mission: to protect the frail researcher Luo.

"So, since everyone is busy, your sentence will probably be based on the provisional trial that was held last night. You will likely be under house arrest for a considerable period of time, and you will not be allowed to go anywhere except for the Fire Moth. After you finish your work, you will need to return to your dormitory as soon as possible for a more in-depth house arrest."

“In addition, your daily fusion surgery workload will increase by one, from three fusion surgeries per day to four. If I’m not mistaken, this additional surgery slot is likely the result of an internal power struggle within the higher-ups. They probably felt that the original one slot per day might be insufficient,” Alicia continued.

Originally, Chen Luo performed three fusion surgeries every day. One candidate was chosen by the higher-ups, and the other was selected from among the volunteers. Fairness and impartiality had to be ensured.

The final decision was made by Mei, since she was the first to discover Chen Luo.

When Mei temporarily did not need a spot for Chen Luo to perform surgery, that spot was automatically filled by a volunteer.

Now, some of the higher-ups are no longer satisfied with the status quo. Because the sample size is too small, they cannot determine the accuracy of Chen Luo's case, so they need to quickly increase the sample size.

This was used to determine the probability of Chen Luo's survival during the fusion surgery, and also to give Chen Luo practice.

Moreover, if one of them suddenly succeeds, the higher-ups won't lose out either; getting a fusion warrior is a very worthwhile deal.

There's no loss even if you fail, and your physical fitness seems to improve subtly as well.

Once Chen Luo can guarantee the production of as many fusion warriors as possible, more high-ranking officials may seek him out to perform fusion surgeries.

"Oh, right, there's also the decision to strip you of all your holidays, for an indefinite period." Alicia suddenly seemed to remember something.

"What? This is too much! I used to only need to work 5 days a week and perform 15 surgeries, but now I have to perform 28 surgeries every week. Just kill me!" Chen Luo said in despair.

Well, it's not entirely hopeless.

No one can come in while the fusion surgery is being performed, and the volunteers for the fusion surgery can't possibly be awake. So it doesn't matter who performs the fusion surgery, as long as there are enough doll imprints.

Chen Luo was even considering whether or not to send Hei Ji Lin to the previous civilization for practice.

Because Hei Jilin had downloaded Chen Luo's complete set of biological knowledge, she almost ruined herself because of it.

And the culmination of that entire body of biological knowledge is the fusion surgery.

Therefore, theoretically, even an illiterate person like Hei Jilin could perform fusion surgery on others.

The key issue isn't who performs the fusion surgery, but rather the doll imprint.

So it doesn't matter who does it.

The order to stay home after work also allowed Chen Luo to reasonably avoid appearing in the Moth Chasing Flames. So it could even be considered a good thing.

However, it is true that Chen Luo was indeed being exploited and treated like a laborer.

"Fusion surgery, fusion surgery..." Chen Luo felt tired just hearing that word.

"Don't worry, according to Mebius, the difficulty of performing fusion surgery is not very high. Given the abundance of talent at Moth Chaser, in a while, there will be quite a few doctors who can perform fusion surgery."

Mebius was not stingy with his methods for performing fusion surgery, and in fact, the fusion warrior plan was initially proposed by Mebius.

The Moth Chaser has gathered almost all the world's geniuses. With more research, it is certain that a number of talents capable of performing fusion surgery will emerge.

“But even if it gets to that point, I’ll still be exploited like a laborer, won’t I?” Chen Luo sighed.

Even when civilization was completely destroyed, fusion surgery could not be considered a mature procedure. The mortality rate of fusing human hearts with Honkai Beast genes was inherently high.

Because even in the later stages of the pre-civilization era, the probability of death during fusion surgery remained high, the Firemoths, after the tragedy of the Constraints, no longer had the capacity to waste their already limited lives to create fusion warriors.

Because after the tragedy of the restraint occurred, only three cities remained on Earth, and then Ling wiped out those three remaining cities.

"By the way, Lolo, have you ever thought about becoming a fusion warrior yourself?" Alicia asked.

"I hadn't thought about it at all," Chen Luo replied directly.
