I'm not Yingjie

"..." Desdobia, who was seen through, stopped her little movements with a dark face.

The Speaker was very satisfied with her attitude: "Then where should I start... Let's start from the founding of the Fire Moth, that is, the gathering of those scum who loved humans."

"Wait a minute, what are you going to do? Why are you showing off now? Even if there is a bomb on the transport plane, you will be exposed as soon as you get off the transport plane. And even if we both perish, we will not let you go."

How could Himiko possibly listen to the Speaker talking about those old stories? She stared at the man with a sad look on her face, not understanding what he was trying to do.

"Exposed? So be it. What's the big deal?" The Speaker shrugged nonchalantly. "As for me showing off now, it's just because I've already done what I wanted to do, so I want to show off to others. Have you read novels? Don't the villains in those novels like to reveal key information when their plans are about to be completed? Just assume that's the situation now."

"The only difference between me and those villains is that I have already achieved my goal before I even tell them about my plan."

"There is a bomb on this transport plane, so what about the other transport planes that the higher-ups called?"

The Speaker's casual words made Himiko's pupils shrink to a small dot, and that horrible guess became a reality with his confession.

"Yes, it's just as you thought. At 9:30, all the transport planes except this one have turned into fireworks on the ocean."

"Are you...kidding me?"

Himiko pointed at the Speaker and Soul dully: "Almost all the combat personnel of the headquarters are carrying out this mission..."

"Yes."

"Do you know what you are doing?"

"I know." The Speaker leaned back easily on the back of the soft chair and blew away the smoke from the cigarette. "Those excellent warriors you met, Kevin, Hen, Kosmo..."

"It has become a burial object."

Chapter 55: The Beginning of Everything

The relaxed and nonchalant tone seemed to have just brushed away some dust, which made Himiko's breathing stop for a few seconds.

How evil does one have to be to talk so casually about life?

"Hun, do you know all this?" Himiko swallowed hard and asked Hun.

Even though Soul's expression told it all, Himiko still retained a glimmer of hope.

She would rather believe that the soul had gone astray than to see it change into another person while awake.

A strange appearance that makes the former soul disgusted.

However, wishful thinking is often met with sadness and despair.

"I killed all the high-ranking officials at the headquarters." Hun did not back down at all, and said in a cold and indifferent voice, "From the beginning to the end, I knew what I was doing, Captain."

"Don't you hate taking lives? Don't you want to protect Lin's wishes? Why are you doing this?"

"A wish? Hehehe...hahahaha..."

The soul smiled.

Without any warning, she covered her face and laughed out loud, trembling. The suffocating laughter came from her mouth, which had never laughed so loudly before.

In front of Himiko and Desdobia, Hun put down his hands, his face as ferocious as a ghost.

"What did Lin's wish bring? Have humans become better? Do the leaders of the Fire Moth care about the lives of the soldiers?"

"Before the fifth collapse, did you know that he was already being eaten away by the collapse disease and was about to die? After the fifth collapse, he couldn't even keep his sanity, but what did he get in return?"

"Can you tell me what we got in return? Peace? Happiness? Understanding? You have been in the headquarters for so long, have you ever seen these?"

Every word from Hun was heart-wrenching. Even Himiko was speechless and didn't know how to respond.

Lin's Honkai disease was concealed too perfectly. If his erosion rate had not exceeded the threshold on the eve of the fifth Honkai, causing the erosion phenomenon to occur, they would still have been kept in the dark.

Peace, happiness, understanding? These are like fantasy in such a repressive environment.

"Of course, him too." Hun glared at the Speaker fiercely, but the latter did not make any response.

"Yes, I am also one of those scumbags, so I am also one of them who disrespects the lives of soldiers, uses Lin as a prop, and speaks out against Dr. Mei." However, after thinking about it, the Speaker admitted, "This is what the top leaders do. I am not special."

"So, that's why you hate the higher-ups so much, including yourself?"

At this moment, a discordant and lazy female voice interrupted the confrontation between the few people, and even the Speaker and Hun's expressions flashed a hint of doubt.

The transport planes were all autonomous, and there were only four of them on board, so who was this voice at this moment...

"laugh."

The fire-fighting device in the transport plane sprayed a liquid to extinguish the smoke, and then in an inconspicuous corner, a camera-like device flashed a special frequency and emitted a faint blue light.

In the eyes of everyone, a woman with messy hair was projected.

"Dr. Einstein?" The Speaker recognized at a glance the doctor in the field of quantum mechanics that he had been pursuing. He narrowed his eyes, thought for a few seconds, and then realized something. He snorted through his nose, shook his head and said nothing.

"Long time no see, Speaker... No, I should say, Lin." Einstein's projection greeted the Speaker with his hands in his pockets.

"Forest?!"

The speaker smiled and waved his hand, and said to Destobia and Himiko who were even more surprised: "My real name is Lin. Yes, the 'Lin' you know."

Einstein said: "It's been a long time since we last met."

"Yeah..." the Speaker sighed, "I thought that not meeting you would reduce the chances of being discovered. You are indeed worthy of me."

"No, you have succeeded. At least before Dr. Mei reminded me, I would not have thought of who the murderer was. And before you said it yourself, I could not be sure who the murderer was among the senior management."

"So I said it myself... This is quite in line with the villain's style."

"So, you might as well keep talking. You probably want to finish what you're saying."

The Speaker groaned, glanced at the indifferent Soul, and Himiko and Desdobia who were completely confused about the situation, and smiled with relief: "Okay, let's continue the previous topic... Let's start with a group of scum preparing to protect humans."

"This group of scum is made up of the world's politicians, elites, and leaders. Long before they became the top leaders of the Fire Moth, they were already at the 'pinnacle' of waking up in a villa thousands of meters away every morning to enjoy hot milk served by a maid, and to enjoy the maid who served the milk."

"There's an old saying in Shenzhou that the higher you stand, the farther you can see. This also applies to them. They are at the pinnacle of human society, so what they can see is the whole picture of humanity and... the precursors of disasters."

The speaker's tone was full of sarcasm towards the top leaders. His words explained how powerful the top leaders were, but they also contained his own unique sarcasm.

Even though, he is one of them.

"So, they chose to secretly unite and jointly deal with this human crisis. They believed that the humans under their feet needed their protection, and this was their duty and responsibility."

"What an arrogant idea, isn't it? How can the mission of protecting humanity fall on ordinary people?" The Speaker sneered disdainfully.

"So an organization was formed, the Fire Moth. Its predecessors were the shadows of historical organizations in many countries, but there were also many new and radical organizations joining in. In the end, it became the last ark of 'protecting humanity'."

"But now that the Ark is built, who will be the master of the Ark? In the myth of Noah's Great Flood, there is only one Noah, but we are more than one person, so we decided on the power system of the organization, which is to distribute all power equally to the founders, and let us jointly lead the Fire Moths."

"Before the collapse, this system was very successful. It effectively prevented the organization from becoming corrupt and the emergence of a single person holding all the power, allowing the initial preparations to proceed smoothly."

"They once thought that as long as they worked together, they could defeat the Honkai."

Only in this place did the Speaker separate himself from other senior officials.

In other words, from that time on, he and other senior executives had gone astray.

"I have a different opinion, but I can't decide the composition of the organization by myself, so I didn't make any suggestions, and at that time I didn't think of changing the Fire Moth."

"Until one day, I went on a mission to clean up anti-human traitors."

Chapter 56 The Great Purge Begins

"The mission to execute the traitors was given to me. At the time, I formed a team specifically for cleaning up the 'dirty stuff'. That team later became... that's all. Nothing more."

The cigarette on the table burned to the end, and the cigarette butts fell down. The Speaker took out another cigarette and asked a few people, "Do you mind if I light another one?"

"..."

No one answered him.

But the Speaker didn't mind, so let's just take it as consent.

After lighting a cigarette and placing it on the table, the man coughed twice and continued, "Two traitors from my original organization were witnessed by my men. They violated the rules and forced living humans to be used as experimental subjects, most of whom were pregnant women and babies. They then defected for several years and were eventually shot dead by me."

"Violation...of the rules?" Einstein muttered the word in confusion, seeming to not quite understand.

"Haha... It's weird, isn't it?" The Speaker said to Einstein with a fake smile, "When you joined the Fire Moth, this rule was removed. Even if we openly oppose this anti-human behavior, as long as it is for the purpose of developing weapons and drugs to fight the Honkai, even if human experiments are conducted in secret, we will turn a blind eye."

"How is this possible?" Desdobia couldn't help but question, "Human experiments in various laboratories are only conducted after obtaining the consent of the person concerned."

"With their consent? How many people would that be? Ten or twenty?" The Speaker flicked his cigarette butt and took a deep breath. "Do you think the advanced technology level of the Fire Moth is just the result of normal development?"

"But the developers of Fire Moth are all..."

The Speaker interrupted with a wicked smile, "World's best."

"..."

"That's right. Everyone is an elite and a genius. Then could you please ask the genius in front of us, or ask the two geniuses Mei and Mebius, if they want to make the fastest progress, do they need to restrain themselves for the sake of moral bottom line?"

Himiko and Desdobia looked at the projection of Einstein. At this moment, she looked at the Speaker silently. Facing the gaze cast at her, she just closed her eyes and sighed softly.

The answer is already obvious.

"I admit that what you said is correct, but there are also people who retain morality. They are the majority of the fire moths and the majority of human beings. So even if there is darkness that cannot be seen in the light, not everyone will acquiesce and take it for granted." Einstein opened his eyes, supported his elbow with one hand, and said to the Speaker, "You are changing the concept."

"Humph." The Speaker did not deny it. "Let's continue talking about the past."

"After I executed the two traitors, I found the results of their experiments. A child who had been transformed since fertilization... no, since the egg cell and sperm cell were still there. He was born through a test tube and his brain consciousness was transformed."

"A cyborg who surpasses humans in every way and loves humans unconditionally."

The speaker did not mention the man's name. He said calmly, "After a preliminary diagnosis of the child, the first thing we did was to remove the rule that prohibits human experiments."

"You wouldn't..." Einstein's face looked extremely bad. This almost explicit hint had already told her what the Fire Moth did to the child next.

Even Himiko and Destobia realized what happened at that time.

"We conducted all the extreme tests we could think of on that child, including the trial of some highly toxic drugs. The efficacy of some of the drugs in the Fire Moth was discovered during that time."

"Of course, there are also bone self-healing tests, brain memory tests, sleeplessness tests, oxygen and water deprivation tests..." He sneered as he listed the horrifying names of the experiments one by one, "There are also some experiments whose names I can't remember, but in terms of cruelty, they are no less severe than these experiments."

This made Hun couldn't help but frown, but she soon relaxed her brows and continued to maintain an expressionless look.

"In the end, the child survived all the experiments. There were also reasons why others wanted him to survive. In short, after eighteen experiments, they stopped torturing him and started discussing... who should this child belong to."

The speaker's evil smile was particularly creepy in the swirling smoke. He rubbed his fingers and said, "He is an all-round outstanding talent with super high adaptability and can endure human experiments. Most importantly, even if humans want to kill him, he will not resist. This makes him a useful tool that can be controlled at will."

"You are such a bunch of scum." Himiko cursed.

"You are correct," the Speaker said. "So this leads to a particularly interesting situation where we have a different decision about the child."

Disagreement?

"Hehe... That's right. Since then, we have had a disagreement, and it was about how to use a child. It was also at that time that I realized the hidden dangers of the Fire Moth."

The Speaker briefly mentioned the child and emphasized his understanding of the internal structure of the organization.

"We can transform into the most terrifying demons, and do whatever it takes to keep humans alive. Even if Noah is the only one left, it's totally fine to abandon humanity's bottom line and dignity." The speaker's eyes were sharp and his words were sharp. "We can also be the most gentle angels, allowing humans to work together to overcome difficulties, and believe like an innocent child that human emotions can bring about miracles."

"But we cannot allow demons and angels to coexist. An organization that is wavering and indecisive cannot fight the Honkai, nor can it allow humanity to survive."

"Humanity is already gambling, putting everything on the line, so it doesn't matter who leads the way. Whether the final destination is heaven or hell is our own choice. But it can never be like it is now, where a group of so-called elites with inconsistent consciousness and values ​​and opposite goals are playing house to bet on everything in humanity!"

As the Speaker spoke the last sentence, his eyes swept across the crowd, his momentum gushing out.

After listening to this, Einstein understood why the Speaker assassinated other senior officials.

The power at the top is equal. They wanted to achieve balance in this way when they first established the Fire Moth. Therefore, no one except Mobius could voluntarily give up their power to achieve absolute unity in decision-making.

"So, you are the 'devil'?"

"If humanity needs me, I can be anyone. It doesn't matter who becomes the leader in the end."

"No, you lied." Einstein said suddenly, "Not everyone. You opposed Mei's fusion warrior plan to prevent her from taking over after your cleansing plan was completed, because you have seen the monster created by humans themselves - that child."

"...So what? This is my last wish as a human being. Just consider it as my selfish desire. But now...it doesn't matter." The Speaker smiled self-deprecatingly.

"But your plan has failed, Lin." Einstein snapped his fingers, and a short figure walked out from the corner. "Let me introduce you to the latest achievement of the combination of artificial intelligence, bionic robots and Titan technology, an armed puppet."

The red-haired puppet holding a toy-like assault rifle walked up to them.

"They have special signal blockers in their bodies. I asked them to block the detonation signal after analyzing the bomb signal."

"After Dr. Mei's reminder, I realized that I can't catch you by just guessing. After all, this is the Fire Moth, the crystallization of human wisdom. Excellent techniques emerge in an endless stream. Even I can't know them all."

"So I changed my way of thinking. If I were the murderer, and my plan was not to seize power, but to eliminate all the top leaders, including myself, then what would I do?"

"Use any means necessary, even if it hurts innocent people."

The Speaker looked at the armed puppets curiously: "So you guessed that there would be a bomb on the transport plane and sent these little puppets to interfere with the signal?"
