I'm not Yingjie

"Hmph, accept your gift? Let me guess, are you going to implant a Houkai beast into your body, or put me into a Houkai beast?"

"Oh my, you are so narrow-minded. Do I look like a mad scientist?"

"...Don't you think so?" Mei asked, looking at her shrunken body.

"You are not as good as Lin, a pure human being. Even he, a human fundamentalist, never said that I was a mad scientist." Mobius brushed his long hair with his gloved fingers and said with a fake smile, "Besides, whether it is implanting Honkai beasts or stuffing humans into Honkai beasts, it doesn't seem to be a good plan at the moment."

"But you are one of the people who created the fusion warriors." Mei looked at her coldly.

"Notice, I said 'now'. Haven't you ever looked back and thought that you were incredibly stupid in the past?" Mebius's hand slid across the earrings, and she smiled with cold eyes like a real snake.

Mei's eyes flickered, but she still said coldly: "Even if there is, it's not something you should know."

“Haha… Herrscher of Thunder, sometimes I really admire you.” Mobius’ smile became colder and colder, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue. “Even if you need help from others, you don’t have the attitude of asking for help at all. Among all the successors, you are the only one who dares to speak to me like this.”

"Oh? Are you acting so superior now?"

"How could that be, big sister? I just think you are so rude." Mebius changed his tone and spoke in a charming and elongated voice.

"Hasn't anyone told you that you can be really...disgusting sometimes?"

"Yes, but most of them are buried in the ground."

Mei and Mobius are not giving in to each other. When Mei gradually lets down her guard against Lin and Alicia, Mobius is the most unfathomable person in the paradise of the past. After their first meeting, she seems to be preparing something, but Mei is too busy with Lin's affairs to pay attention to her.

At this moment, after visiting everyone in the paradise of the past and failing to get the information she wanted, Mei had no choice but to set her sights on the most dangerous Mobius.

Even the seemingly optimistic and fearless Padua, after hearing the information Mei asked about, showed a cold expression, as if she was going to take away her important treasure, and looked at Mei with hostility for a second.

But later he returned to his original appearance of smiling and selling products. It happened so quickly that Mei thought she was having an illusion.

So after failing to get information from Paddo, she came here.

"I have something to ask you. What are your conditions?" Mei knew that it would be impossible to get what she wanted from Mobius easily, but compared to those heroes who had no idea where to start, Mobius might be able to make a deal with her. "I want to know if anyone knows Lin's age, appearance, and cause of death."

“…Huh?”

After hearing the word "cause of death", Mebius first narrowed his eyes and glanced at Mei. After seeing that there was no fear on his face, he sneered quietly.

Kevin and Lin, you really gave me a great gift.

"There was once a man who got something insignificant from me, but he gave me everything he had." Mobius stroked it with his fingertips, raised his lips and said, "So, what do you think you need to give to get his 'everything' from me?"

Chapter 66 Surrealism

"Hua, is this possible?"

"Yeah, no problem."

While Lin and Anna were searching, Hua and Imer were not idle either. Imer remotely monitored the changes in the city's Honkai energy, and Hua conducted experiments in the city using a device that could create a frequency that attracted Honkai beasts and dead soldiers.

Although low-level Honkai beasts have little intelligence, there are some inexplicable connections and ways of positioning between them, similar to the special frequency of dolphin sound waves.

However, this frequency cannot be simulated by mechanical devices alone. The special structures and organs in the body of the Honkai beast cannot be imitated by current means, so this device cannot actually be fully regarded as human "technology".

"Imer, will this really prevent the Honkai energy from leaking into the city?"

Hua held the rear door of the transport vehicle with one hand and asked Imer on the communicator.

In front of her, inside the transport vehicle, something special was being "sealed".

The corpse of a complete advancing-level Honkai beast.

By injecting Honkai energy into the Honkai beast, its physical organs can be kept barely usable, and then through a series of modifications, the Advanced-level Honkai is made into a frequency transmitting device, which can disperse or attract Honkai beasts within a certain range.

"As long as the time is properly controlled, it won't happen. Rather than leaking Honkai energy, you should pay more attention to whether Honkai beasts will be attracted and cause harm." Yimer sat alone in front of the computer and said to Hua, "The captain has ordered that only multiple small-scale tests be conducted, and only in designated locations, but we can't take it lightly. The appearance of dead soldiers in the city means that the Honkai energy exceeds the limit."

Hua nodded slowly, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "But why are there no moves at the headquarters even though assassins have appeared?"

"...Hua, didn't you notice?"

"what?"

"The atmosphere in the Fire Moth is not right." Imer's fingers paused on the keyboard, staring gloomily at the coordinates on the computer screen. "The fifth collapse is approaching, but the Fire Moth is not as concerned about the large-scale collapse as it is about discussing various experimental technologies."

The wind direction of the Fire Moths even made Imer think that the collapse was over and it was time to solve humanity's own internal problems.

It even made him wonder if everyone thought that the previous large-scale collapses were handled so quickly that they could be resolved in one day, and that the Herrschers were conquered by the soldiers, and that their science and technology were developing rapidly, so the next collapse was nothing to be afraid of.

"I don't know how long this will last, but... the captain is almost exhausted."

Whenever he saw Lin's back, he would have the illusion that Lin was walking on a shaky wooden bridge.

The rotten wood under his feet made a grinding sound, but Lin still walked forward in a daze, waiting for the moment of falling.

Moreover, Lin didn't even think of struggling.

"Captain..." Hua lowered his head with no expression on his face. "Imer, do you think the Honkai will end one day?"

"I think so."

"It would be great if we could arrive earlier. I would like to invite the captain, Imer, and everyone from the fifth team to travel together."

"travel?"

"Well, the captain once asked me to think about the meaning of living. At that time, the captain told me that if I couldn't find it, I should live for him temporarily." Hua looked at the palm of his hand blankly. "Later, I asked Captain Himiko what it means to find the meaning of living. She told me not to think about such heavy things like the captain did. I just need to think about what I want to do after the collapse is over."

"So, I think I would like to travel, just like the captain said to me."

Lin and Himiko, one was the guide who saved her, and the other was the senior who educated her when Lin was away. Their influence on Hua has penetrated deeply into her heart.

Lin allowed her to think for herself, and Himiko balanced what Lin taught her with what she learned so as to prevent her from becoming like Lin.

Although they are not from the same period, Lin and Himiko are surprisingly consistent in that they are predecessors, that is, the younger generations will take over from them sooner or later.

"Hua, you have a good idea."

At this moment, Lin's communication suddenly appeared in the channel, which surprised Hua.

"team leader?"

"After the collapse is over, you can go traveling." Lin's calm voice made Hua's heart sink to the bottom.

After thinking it over, she asked, "Captain, the Fifth Branch is developing an anti-Honkai serum. You..."

“Focus on the task.”

"..."

Traveling with Hua? Lin had never thought of this possibility.

According to Prometheus II's calculations, there are a total of fourteen Herrschers. According to the current frequency, it will take at least ten years for the fourteenth Herrscher to appear. By then, Lin would have turned into a pile of bones.

"After all, they are just ordinary people." Binet looked at Anna with a kind look.

"..."

Have you ever thought about what to do after the collapse?

It seems not.

The possibility was too low, so Lin never considered the future.

Ordinary people...am I still an ordinary person?

……

"Arrived at the target location, expected to start in ten minutes...Captain?!"

After Hua got out of the car, the first thing he saw was Lin who had been waiting for a long time and Anna who was like a curious baby beside him.

Anna came to Hua in three steps and looked her up and down: "Is this the uncle's team member? Sure enough, you didn't lie to me, the uncle is really the captain."

"Captain, she is..." Hua looked at Lin in confusion. She had never seen Anna, but Anna seemed to know who Hua was.

Lin pointed at the equipment behind Hua coldly and said, "It's okay, don't worry about her."

Yimer asked in the communication: "Hua, what's wrong? Is the captain here too?"

"Yes, and there is an unknown girl next to the captain..."

"Is it someone from the Fire Moth Chaser?"

"Probably not...but she seems to know the captain's identity and the Fire Moth."

Anna put her arm around her shoulder and smiled, "Uncle has already told me not to worry about me. It won't be too late for us to get to know each other after you finish your work. Now it's time to protect world peace, right?"

"..."

Hua swallowed and looked at the calm Lin. This inappropriate attitude was very unwelcome in Lin's eyes. Even though the relationship between Alicia and Lin had improved now, Lin used to avoid Alicia. It took more than half a year for Alicia's unilateral goodwill to change Lin's opinion of her.

This girl used such a frivolous tone and inappropriate posture in front of Lin, but Lin did not react at all.

This really has a surreal feel to it.

"Hey, don't be so nervous. I have a good relationship with the uncle. He has taken off his clothes for me at my home."

"..."

Chapter 67: Crazy Science Girl

"Meow meow..."

The girl felt that the past week had been the happiest time of her life. She could eat well, sleep well and dress warmly every day. She could find everything she wanted in this house. It was simply heaven.

Damn, I've lived here for so long that I even feel like this is my home.

The girl turned over, yawned, and fell back to sleep.

Forget it...just treat it as your own home...

"...Crack."

There was the sound of a key being inserted into the lock.

The girl's ears pricked up alertly, and she immediately got off the cushion and hid in the closet.

She dared not breathe a single breath.

Has the owner of this house returned? Oh no, she might be caught. The last few days were just burglary, but the traces of living here for a week would not lie. If she was caught, she might be beaten to death.

Less than three seconds after she entered the closet, the door was pushed open and footsteps entered the room.

"Hmm...what's that smell? Female?"

A man's voice.

The girl pursed her lips. She had been taking a bath in recent days. Who doesn’t like taking a bath with hot water?

But why can I still smell the scent, and know the gender instantly?

Is he exposed now? He found someone as soon as he entered the door. Will he search the house next?

The girl was ready to escape.

"Humph... a thief? Never mind." Unexpectedly, even though he knew a thief had come in, the man didn't care. His footsteps kept moving around the room. "Eating, sleeping, taking a bath, playing with the cat scratching board... Life is so colorful."

These were all things the girl had done in the past few days, and she blushed a little when she heard that others could tell what she had done just by looking at this room.

Then the man walked to the closet, reached out his hand... and picked up the photo frame next to it.

Inside was a frontal photo of the boy. His sinister eyes and flawless, expressionless face transcended time and reappeared before my eyes.

"It's been a while since I've seen this face. This face... is really disgusting."

The girl covered her mouth and listened carefully, feeling a little unbelievable. She thought the person in the photo frame was either this man or this man's son. After all, who would put an unimportant person in the bedroom of their home?

But this man did say "It's really disgusting" in a disgusted tone.

Is there any reason for this?

"No one has ever entered that door... Haha, she's quite sensible. I'll give her some dry food as a reward."

After the man put down the photo frame, the footsteps faded away. The girl's excellent hearing ears captured the noise of him going downstairs. She didn't come out of the closet quietly until the man really left.

What a risk, I was almost discovered.

The girl let out a long sigh and lay back down on the mat.

By the way, was that man really the owner of the house? Could he be a relative or something? The boy was perfect looking, but he said he was disgusting. Maybe he was a relative who hated the boy.

Relatives...

The girl licked the corner of her mouth, but her eyes did not seem very bright.
