Honkai, they all became my stigmata

The color of that crystal flower was almost the same as Xier's hair color, it was a dark blue crystal flower.

"Although I often claim to be the heroine of the story, this time, let Xier take the leading role on the stage."

Chapter 33

Mobius Laboratory

"Here...is the base of Moth Chasing Flame."

Standing in front of a certain huge steel fortress, Chen Yu saw a military base of this era for the first time.

In terms of the occupied area alone, it may not be inferior to the Destiny Airport in the next era.

"Yeah, this is where people who fight against [Honkai] gather."

Alicia walked in front, leading Chen Yu and Xi'er inward.

After passing through the gate protected by the soldiers, the three of them came to the main hall of the Flaming Moth.

Alicia took out her pink mobile phone and dialed a good friend's number. Of course, the result was a ruthless "hang up".

——It seems that the other party is still busy.

"Hmm~ Dr. Mebius doesn't seem to be here yet, Xier, why don't we go around the base first~"

Alicia said enthusiastically.

"Hey, ah... well, okay."

Xier nodded ignorantly.

"what about me?"

Chen Yu on the side complained.

"Well~ When girls whisper to each other, boys should avoid it."

Alicia secretly blinked at Chen Yu from an angle that Xier couldn't see.

She had something to say to Xi'er alone, so Chen Yu could only avoid it for a while.

"……All right."

Chen Yu was not worried that Alicia would do something bad to Xi'er, so she let the two girls leave arm in arm.

Going for a walk by yourself will give you some freedom.

After wandering around in Flaming Moth's base for a while, Dust Feather found a laboratory.

Unlike other labs along the way, only the door of this lab was open, as if it didn't care that the documents and materials in it would be stolen.

And on the door plate at the entrance of the laboratory, there are seven big characters "Mebius Laboratory" written impressively.

Chen Yu sneaked in quietly.

The decoration style and decorative embellishments of this laboratory obviously carry the strong personal color of its owner. The ceiling is covered with grotesque paintings, large blue-green blocks, like the ocean; some black spots of various shapes seem to inhabit All kinds of creatures in this blue sea.

And on the surrounding walls, there are all kinds of animal and plant specimens. Except for the very few common dust feathers that can be recognized, the rest can only be said to be completely unknown.

Among them, there were a few special specimens that caught Chen Yu's attention.

All the specimens here are not labeled with names, but Chen Yu can feel that these few specimens are not some kind of rare animals and plants, but——

"Are you... a mischievous little mouse that slipped in from where?"

A tone imitating Alicia sounded from behind Dust Feather.

Chen Yu heard the sound and looked behind her. It was a very mature-looking scholar, with long light green hair tied behind her head casually.She was holding a folder in her hand, obviously she had just finished a meeting and rushed back,

She was looking at Chen Yu with thoughtful eyes, and those snake-like pupils were staring at him.

"Hi, I'm Chen Yu, I'm here at the invitation of Alicia, you are..."

Go through the process and pretend not to know each other.

"I am just an ordinary scientific researcher, I have never been to the battlefield before."

Obviously, she is not proficient in imitating Alicia now.

"...Well, forget it, it's still difficult for me to learn how that guy speaks."

The green-haired woman put the folder in her hand aside.

"I'm Mebius."

"Hello, Dr. Mebius."

He was thinking about whether Alicia had told Mebius the news that he and Xier were coming here.

"The guy did say before he went out that he would bring friends back as a guest. Of course, I don't know who it is."

Mebius said casually.

"It's just that the only ones who dare to step into my laboratory without any protection are those who just came from outside."

Although her laboratory is actually not that scary at all - didn't you see that she came here in ordinary work clothes?

But according to the rumors of the flame-chasing moth, Mebius's laboratory has obviously become a very terrifying forbidden zone, even if he just stepped into it, he would have to pay a great deal of courage.

"Very few people can get out of here alive" - ​​this is a rumor circulating in the base of the fire moth.

Mebius, who has not yet become a fusion fighter, still follows the normal human growth pattern. Compared with the green-haired girl Chen Yu knew, now she has... er, a very mature temperament.

"Are you wondering what those are?"

Having nothing to do, Mebius pointed to the few specimens that Chen Yu had studied carefully just now.

"A bit."

Chen Yu said honestly.

"Those are the body tissue specimens of [Herserscher]."

"Uh... is this really spectacular?"

This result was not beyond Chen Yu's expectation.

One, two, three, four, five—parts of the bodies of all Herrschers who have been defeated by mankind so far are displayed in Mebius' laboratory as a kind of trophy, or in other words, a work of art.

"Hmph, no matter how powerful they were when they were alive, what was sent here was just an ordinary corpse."

Mebius replied casually.

No matter how intimidating they were in life, they are just experimental objects for her to dissect and study on her test bench.

"But, you're right, they are magnificent in another sense."

The power they have shown, the way they wield power... are all dazzling.

Isn't this kind of existence the beauty of evolution?

"If all human beings could become existences like Herrscher..."

Talking about his ideals, Mebius said with fascination.

At that time, what is there to fear in the so-called collapse?

As if realizing that he had lost his composure a little bit, Mebius coughed lightly twice and continued.

"You're not bad. When ordinary people hear the words Herrscher's specimen, they should run away in fear."

"……well enough."

"Speaking of which, what about Alicia?"

Mebius said with some complaints.

Obviously, she said that she had something related to the Herrscher and wanted to find her, so she made an appointment to meet here and at this time.

"Come on, come on~ my dear Mebius?~"

Alicia's voice and the footsteps of the two girls appeared outside the door, and she brought Xier here.

"You said you wanted to talk to me about something important, and you wanted to bring in two strangers from outside... What exactly is it?"

"Well, if you express it in a simple and horrible way, it really is [Battle against the Sixth Herrscher]."

Mebius: "...?"

Chapter 34

With my hands, ascend to the gods

"Alicia, do you want to say... the Sixth Herrscher will appear on both of them?"

Mebius was very smart, and immediately reacted, understanding the meaning of Alicia's words.Well, in fact, this point does not need to be deliberately emphasized. Her genius is well known, and her thinking has always been... different from ordinary people.

Herrschers are all [Humans], or in other words, they were all [Humans].

but--

The Fire Moth does not have any technology to discover Herrschers in advance. After all, according to the retrospective report on the identities of the first five Herrschers as human beings, before they transformed into the existence of Herrschers, all the functions of their bodies were completely consistent with the Herrschers. All other ordinary humans are exactly the same.

If the Fire Chasing Moth had this kind of technology, it would have killed and dealt with the collapse of disasters in the bud. Why wait until the Herrscher is born.

"Well, Mebius, you are right."

Alicia glanced at Seele.

It's not close from the city where Xier is to the base of the Flaming Moth—otherwise, it wouldn't have taken Alicia so long to find the key point of Dust Feather.

It took a day before they reached the Flaming Moth.During this day, Chen Yu had already told Xi'er the relevant necessary knowledge, so that she had a basic understanding of it, and also told her everything that would happen in the future.

"...Although it sounds really absurd, let me take it as the truth first."

Mebius nodded.

After all, in this era of collapse, she has seen a lot of supernatural and unreasonable things.

"Oh, we are really close friends~"

"You often make all kinds of jokes with me... But when it comes to matters related to the collapse, you will not lie, and you have always been serious."

Mebius sighed.

"But why did you come to me?"

It is not uncommon to find scientific research freaks in the Firemoth base, for example, Mei she invited to enter the Firemoth, and the mechanical geek named Wei Wei who was "captured" by Alicia before——

"Ah, because the smart Mebius always has all kinds of wonderful ideas, that's why I want to ask you for help. Of course, the most important thing is that you are my good friend."

"...Come on, tell me in detail, I will take all your statements as true considerations."

........................

"...Let me sum it up, this girl named Xi'er will become the Sixth Herrscher in a few days' time at midnight, and you—Chen Yu, your request is to save you from Honkai. This girl, prevent her from becoming a lawyer, right?"

Mebius rubbed his head, and tentatively summarized what Chen Yu and Alicia had just said.

"Yes, Dr. Mebius."

Dust Feather nodded.

"Anyway, Alicia didn't report this matter to the top management of Flame Chasing Moth, and the two of you fully agree with her actions, which means... I have the final say on what to do next, yes Bar?"

Mebius asked.

Chen Yu: "Yes."

“…This is a topic that I have never challenged, but it is not completely out of ideas.”

The snake-like pupils kept turning back and forth between Chen Yu and Xi'er, quickly thinking about how to achieve this goal.

"Until the time you stated, I will need to collect your body data, and if necessary, I may perform surgery."

After a pause, Mebius continued.

"Before that, there is one more thing I need to confirm with you... because there are only two types of people who can lie on my operating table."

One category is a dying person or corpse who has no choice.
