I already said this is not a life simulator!

[And the physical weakness caused by the removal surgery is also the same. They need a longer time to recover... But fortunately, although all this is difficult, at least there is no way out. With the increasingly advanced medical technology of "Fire Moth", this is not a big problem.]

[If there is anything worth noting about this collapse... it is that at the end, the team led by Sakura rescued a little girl with white hair. She was a little girl with emerald green pupils.]

[When Ying brought her back, her condition was already very serious, so that no one else dared to take over her, so you, who are familiar with "ore disease treatment", had to handle it.]

[After a lot of effort, you finally saved her, but unfortunately... a part of her crystals remained in her brain. Although this would not put her life in danger, it would compress her nerves. At certain times, she would feel severe pain, and she needed to rely on painkillers and special drugs to make her condition slightly better... Her memory was also affected. She could not remember many things and was easily forgetful.]

[I later looked up the information and found out that this was a child named "Narcissa". Her parents died early and she had been living in an orphanage until the collapse destroyed her later "home". The elders who took care of her and the children who lived with her also died in the collapse, leaving her alone.]

[She couldn't remember any of this, only a vague impression remained. She only knew that she had a few very good friends and an elder who had always taken care of her. Other than that, she couldn't even remember her own name very clearly, and even a lot of common sense in life had become a little fuzzy in her memory.]

[According to Mebius's subsequent examination, it is speculated that the Honkai energy slightly eroded her brain, but because she was treated at the last minute, she did not go crazy directly... This can also explain why crystals formed in her brain and could not be removed by normal means.]

[In other words... until technology is improved again, this child will probably have to remain in this state.]

[At the same time, it is not known whether it was to find a playmate for Grayshue, or simply out of pity for her, but Mebius kept her in his laboratory to take care of her. However, Mebius also had his own explanation for this - "This child's condition is too rare, but she is a good observation sample, how can I not keep her for myself?"]

「Well……let’s just leave it at that.」

[But, maybe it's because you were the first thing she saw when she woke up? Or maybe she vaguely felt that you saved her? Or maybe it was because of the influence of Grace? Or maybe she regarded you as the elder who took care of her in her memory? Or maybe it's all of these reasons? In short, this child is very close to you, and sometimes she even competes with Grace to squeeze into your arms, as if two kittens are fighting for the quilt.]

[But of course this scene will attract Mebius's resentful and dissatisfied gaze... It's no wonder that the two children who lived in her laboratory ended up getting closer to you. Everyone would have some complaints.]

[However, this child's memory problem has always been a problem. She forgets things too easily. Many times, she gets to know someone today, but forgets it tomorrow. She remembers a name in the morning, but the impression of the name becomes vague in the afternoon.]

[So much so that she ended up having to carry a small terminal with her as a "notepad" to record things she might forget...]

[But she still remembered some people, such as Grayshu who always played with her, Mebius who provided her with a place to stay, Blanca who took care of her as if she were another daughter, Sakura who rescued her, and... you.]

[However, because her memory is always fuzzy, it is difficult for her to remember your names... For example, she simply calls Blanca "Mom", calls Sakura "Sister", and calls you "Doctor"]

[As for Mebius... uh... she followed Grayshuu and called him "Auntie"]

[In the end, she almost only remembered Grayshu's name, and sometimes she couldn't remember it and just called Grayshu "sister"]

[It is worth mentioning that although Grayshu is taller than her, she is indeed a little younger than her, so in a sense, it is not wrong for her to call her Grayshu.]

[She couldn't remember other people, not even their names, which caused someone's slight "dissatisfaction"... That person was Alicia, although to be precise, Alicia's feelings for her were more like pity.]

[It’s just that Alicia always complains that a girl as beautiful as a flying flower like herself can’t be remembered by this child, which is a bit of a pity… So in order to make her remember her, Alicia always comes to Mebius’s laboratory to play with her from time to time, trying to deepen her impression of her.]

[Unfortunately, the effect is not very obvious, and the repeated visits to Mobius' laboratory have also caused Mobius' dissatisfaction... In Mobius's opinion, the tricks that Alicia whispered to her are really unbearable, but you can feel that Mobius is still very tolerant of Alicia, even a little indulgent. Most of the complaints and targeting are only verbal... It's really unexpected. I didn't expect the relationship between the two to be so good.]

[Later, Alicia somehow found out that rosemary can improve memory, so she gave her a small pot of rosemary. She originally intended to give it to her as an ornamental potted plant, and to improve her memory through the unique fragrance of rosemary.]

[Although rosemary does have the effect of enhancing memory, but... I don’t know what Alicia told her. She later stuffed the rosemary into her mouth and ate it. If Grayshu hadn’t discovered it in time, she would have even planned to stuff the root into her mouth.]

[For this reason, Mobius chased Alicia across half the base, becoming a little anecdote of the "Fire-Chasing Moth"...By the way, Mobius didn't catch up in the end.]

[After that, I learned from your inquiry that she learned from Alicia that rosemary can be eaten and can also enhance memory, so she wanted to eat it all at once so that she could remember everyone...]

[But unfortunately, she didn't get what she wanted in the end. The next day, she forgot about it and didn't even remember what was in the potted plant. If she hadn't seen the record she wrote through the terminal, she wouldn't have known that this happened.]

[However, it would be wrong to say that what Alicia did was of no benefit at all, because it successfully made her remember Alicia as a person, and also remember the name Rosemary... Maybe she wanted to remember other people too much, she was very eager for this kind of thing that could improve her memory, and a large number of Rosemary's words could be seen on her terminal]

[So much so that during the regular check-up, when you ask her if she still remembers her name, she blurts out Rosemary... You can say that in her own opinion, the importance of her own name in memory is far less than rosemary, which can improve her memory.]

[She really wants to remember other people and call them by their names when she meets them, instead of using nicknames like "sister", "auntie" or "doctor"]

[…Very good. After this incident, you chased Alicia around the entire base. In the end, Alicia had no choice but to apologize again and silently endured your "punishment" of drilling her head with your hand.]

[But after that, she also had another name - "Rosemary". Whenever others asked her name, she would mostly answer with this name.]

[She likes this name because she learned that the flower language of rosemary is "memory", and she also hopes that one day, she can recall everything in the past and... no longer forget it]

[In addition to Rosemary's matter, you also met a little girl here... I'm not talking about a child like Rosemary and Grayshu, she is a serious 163-year-old girl, but she is a little smaller, "a little" shorter than Alicia (Alicia is cm tall). She looks about the same as Danzhu and Cangxuan.]

[You remember her. You rescued her from the rubble. Her legs have fully recovered now. She can run and jump without any problems. But she didn’t come to you because of her physical condition. She came to give you a Bible.]

[And, she solemnly stated that this is not a "thank you gift", but a "thing" that must be handed over to you]

[You don't quite understand what she is saying, but you vaguely feel that you should accept it]

[After seeing you accept the "Bible", she breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had accomplished something. Then, she expressed her hope to follow you, join your team, and fight against Honkai.]

[You are somewhat surprised by this, but not really surprised. Most of the rescued people will eventually take this path. If they don’t join the “Fire Moth” team, they will at least have their names listed here and do logistics or something.]

[It’s just that she has shown such a strong will after experiencing the Honkai Impact and just recovering from it. She even said that she wants to join a team like yours that will go directly to the front line... I have to say that her spirit is really strong.]

[After repeatedly confirming her determination, you also told her that if she can pass the training, you can let her join the team, and even lead her personally... but the prerequisite is that she must pass the training.]

[She naturally nodded in agreement, as if she had found a direction. After that, she worked many times harder than an ordinary person, and with amazing willpower, she completed the relevant training in a very short time. Except for her slightly inferior performance in battlefield emergency treatment and emergency removal surgery, she was excellent in other aspects among the recruits, and could even be said to be second only to Kevin and Alicia.]

[It’s a pity that you are not included. After all, you are not a member of the combat unit, and you have not undergone recruit training, so naturally you have no results. When she learned this, she acted quite regretful... She seemed to want to know your results, so that she could know the gap between her and you.]

[Interestingly, because of her petite body (she is only 156cm tall), when she joined the training, some people wanted her to leave, saying that "Fire Moth has not yet reached the point where it is necessary to send underage girls to the battlefield"... She did not respond to this, but just quietly completed the day's training, and then told you about this during the break, asking you how she should respond and what to do]

[Your answer to this is - "What to do? What else can I do? Fight. Combat training is all about combat effectiveness. If you can beat them, they will shut up and even be happy. This will at least prove that you are a strong and trustworthy comrade on the battlefield, not a burden... Tomorrow you go find those guys who said that about you and beat them up. It doesn't matter whether you can beat them or not. The main thing is to show an attitude. After the beating, tell them that you are actually an adult... If someone else says you are short, beat them up again."]

[She listened to him, and did the same thing the next day, and even won the fight... but because she didn't control her strength well, she sent someone to the infirmary, and then happily received a thousand-word self-criticism.]

[And then... uh... you were asked to write a ten thousand word self-criticism for instigating the new recruits to cause trouble and fight each other]

[In fact, you two don’t have to do this kind of “punishment” at all. After all, for her, it was others who “ridiculed” her first, so it’s understandable that she beat them up… The only problem is that she accidentally beat someone into the infirmary, and he wasn’t seriously injured. Half a day later, the person was able to jump around again.]

[Not to mention your words, they are just for show, just to fool around]

[But in the end, she still chose to write a serious self-criticism... After all, in her opinion, she accidentally injured her companion, which was her fault and could not be avoided.]

[And you unexpectedly chose to comply... Of course, your main purpose was to have a heart-to-heart talk with her]

[To be honest, when she saw you walking in to write a self-review with her in the self-review room, her surprised expression was quite funny]

[After this incident, she feels that her understanding of you has deepened, and the distance between you and her has shortened a lot. In addition, other people's evaluation of her has also increased instead of decreased. Her popularity has improved all of a sudden... After all, this is a team that is about to step onto the front line, and a teammate with qualified strength will always be liked by others.]

[After she successfully completed all the training, you let her join your team as promised, and kept your promise to lead her to quickly familiarize herself with combat.]

[At the same time, as your "student", Velvet also designed a set of equipment for her as a gift... Considering her commonly used weapons and combat style, Velvet asked Eden to design an extra set of combat uniforms, and matched them with a rapier and a... gun? Cannon? As a weapon, considering that this thing is Velvet's work, it is hard to say what strange designs are hidden in it]

[Well... this is the benefit of joining your team. I can always get some weird equipment, but it must be the latest equipment, and these weird equipment are often very useful.]

[Well... who made you so close to Wei Erwei? And you have a super-close friend who's a celebrity, so Wei Erwei doesn't lack funds, so why not just make more money? ]

[Anyway, just like that, during the battle, you had a little tail named "Elini" following you.]

[And then, before we knew it... the "Sixth Great Collapse" had arrived]

Chapter 4149 [Butterfly] Spreads its Wings Quietly ()

[In fact, if you must say, the direct damage caused by the "Sixth Great Collapse" was not "particularly large". Because of your hard work and efforts, the "Sixth Herrscher" was confined to the city where it appeared. Except for the fact that it silenced half of the city when it first appeared, and silenced the remaining half when you were on your way to the battlefield... it did not cause too many casualties among ordinary people. Well, at least compared to the impact caused by the "Third Herrscher" and the "Fourth Herrscher", this is the case.]

[You also participated in this battle. At the same time, this was the only Honkai where you failed to save anyone... because all the survivors, including the garrison forces in the city, fell silent before you arrived.]

[When you arrive, you will only see a silent and deserted city... No wailing sounds, no fleeing figures, not even corpses, and no rampaging Honkai beasts, only... deathly silence.]

[There is no need to say much about the subsequent battles... the only word that can describe it is "tragic"]

[Your so-called "rescue" is of no use at all. The attacks of the "Herrser" are basically fatal. Once someone is attacked, you can only watch them age and die in a few seconds, just like a flower that can only bloom for a moment and quickly wither away.]

[There is no time to treat you, and there is no chance to treat you. All attacks will kill you... Therefore, you can only fight hard and pave the way to victory with your corpses... Even if the bodies of those who sacrificed in the end cannot be recovered, and can only be turned into a piece of text or a number on the terminal, you must still defeat them.]

【Finally, you succeeded, but at what cost? 】

[The price was that almost all the troops involved in the battle were wiped out, and only a few survived... If you hadn't reacted quickly and used the "box" to protect yourself in time, I'm afraid there would only be a few survivors.]

[The teams led by Kevin and Alicia were completely wiped out except for two people...]

[Except for Ying and Elini who are with you, and some people who are close to you, all members of the team you lead will be destroyed.]

[The three proud armies of the "Fire Moths" suffered a devastating blow, but... no matter what, at least you have contained the "Great Collapse" this time. From the beginning to the end of the operation, everything was confined to one city and did not cause more impact, so... everything is worth it.]

[In order to fight against Honkai, all sacrifices are acceptable, all costs are payable, as long as the impact can be reduced, anything is fine]

[It only cost the lives of a few team members and a city to defeat the Herrscher. This is really a good deal~ After all, the most important combat power has not been damaged, so everything else doesn't matter. This is definitely a victory worth celebrating! ]

[But... is it really so? ]

[You know, as a Herrscher's dying resistance, is it really... just to kill all the troops that came to attack it? ]

[As time goes by, Mebius and Velvet, who have been promoting the "ore disease therapy", discovered a problem. That is... some people have abnormal phenomena after receiving the "ore disease therapy"... their cells are combined with nanometals.]

[To give a more vivid example, in the past, "mineral disease therapy" would gradually form crystals on the surface of the patient after the injection of nanometals. These crystals were both the result of external instrumentation and the result of the body's slow "discharge", which is equivalent to the body discharging excess or "unnecessary" things. These crystals were "extra growths", and the removal surgery was to remove these "extra" things.]

[But now, this is completely different for these patients... The nanometals have combined with their cells, not only staying in their blood, but also in their organs. When the nanometals condense into crystals, their organs and flesh and blood will also be transformed... Performing a removal surgery at this time is equivalent to removing the corresponding flesh and blood or organs from the patient.]

[What’s even more bizarre is that even if the nanometal has crystallized along with the organs, the patient will not die. Apart from feeling strong discomfort and pain, there will not be much change... even if the organ that has formed the crystal is the heart.]

[It's as if these nanometals came alive, and after forming crystals, they replaced the original organs and continued to work. It can be said to be completely abnormal]

[It can be said that if the word "disease" in "ore disease therapy" was just a joke before... now "ore disease therapy" is probably really a "disease"]

[At the same time, there is another problem, that is, the reaction of nanometal to Honkai energy has become a little too sensitive... But this is neither good nor bad news, because this effect also affects Honkai beasts.]

[To put it simply, if nanometals are not guided in time during the "ore disease therapy" and the crystals are not guided to a safe location, it is very likely to damage human organs. Even if a person is deeply corroded by the Honkai, blindly injecting nanometals may directly turn the person into a block of metal.]

[But this effect is the same for Honkai beasts. If this nanometal hits a Honkai beast that is made entirely of Honkai energy... then the nanometal will quickly form crystals at the hit site, thereby hindering the Honkai beast's movements.]

[It can be said that this effect makes "Ore Disease Therapy" no longer so safe, but it also provides "Fire Moth" with a new direction for weapon design. You know, the crystals composed of this nanometal are all "Originium". If a Honkai beast is transformed into a large "Originium", the energy and profit it contains... are simply unimaginable.]

[Hiss... Eh? Wait... Why are you looking for dangerous Honkai beasts? Obviously, the infected people... No, no, this is a taboo topic, we can't touch it.]

[Although everyone openly rejected and banned this overly dangerous and evil method, it is unknown how many people still hold this idea behind the scenes.]

[As for you, you are not in the mood to care about these things at the moment. You are still out saving people at this time... Yin got the news from Ye, saying that many people infected with Honkai appeared in "Twilight Street", and most of them were children... The nun in charge of taking care of them there learned that there was an organization outside that was responsible for treating this "disease", so she ran out to ask for help. After a while, Ye got to know the news, and then contacted Yin, and then told you.]

[You have always been willing to rescue children. As the future of mankind, they are the ones you want to save. Therefore, after quickly submitting your application and getting it approved, you immediately set off and led the team to "Twilight Street"... It's a pity that this time only your "student" Elini followed you, and Sakura no longer followed you.]

[It's mainly because Sakura's combat power and extremely fast battlefield mobility have been recognized by the "Fire-Chasing Moth", so they plan to formally incorporate her into the combat team to allow her to perform better and provide greater help in the fight against the Honkai... Besides, you are always at the forefront of the battlefield anyway, so aren't you still fighting side by side? Everything is the same.]

[And your rescue mission in "Twilight Street" this time also brought you extra rewards... because you found that there was something wrong with the nun named Aponia, and in her sanatorium, a masked porter named Qianjie was also wrong.]

[When Abonya first saw you, he was briefly stunned and bewildered, and then he looked at you with a hint of joy and... regret? ]

[And Qianjie was even more exaggerated. The moment you arrived, he was like a beast that smelled blood. He quickly came in front of you, blocked your way, and stared at you with a very strange look... full of hostility and anger, but also with a little hesitation.]

[You can see him clench his fists, then unclench them, then clench them again, then unclench them again, and repeat this several times]

[Just when you thought you were going to fight him, Aponia's voice quietly floated over and gently entered your ears... Qianjie then snorted coldly, turned his head away, walked aside, and stayed by the wall as if he was sulking, without saying a word.]

[However, you can still vaguely sense that he is focusing on you, and at the same time, he exudes some hostility from time to time, as if he really wants to attack you, but is hesitant for some reason.]

[Aponia also stepped forward at this time and explained to you that Qianjie had no ill intentions. Although he looked irritable, he was actually a very gentle person and was very popular with children.]

[You are a little surprised, but it doesn’t seem that surprising]

[Of course, the more important thing right now is to treat the children in the sanatorium... Although there are some problems with the "ore disease treatment", there is no other way. This is currently the most effective way to solve the collapse and erosion of the human body. And as long as you deal with it quickly enough and have sufficient equipment, there will be no problem.]

[The only problem is that after the crystal removal surgery, the subsequent recovery of these children will be very problematic. After all, this place called "Twilight Street" is... well... not very safe, and the supplies are not sufficient.]

[Following up, you negotiated with the Fire Moth and got permission to bring the children back.]

[Does it seem that "Fire Moth" is easy to talk to? No, no, no, actually it's because of Qianjie's bad temper. He had an argument with a member of your team over a trivial matter, and then... unexpectedly, but not really unexpectedly, Qianjie beat that person down, even breaking a few ribs, and even breaking the person who came to mediate. In the end, if Aponia hadn't spoken up, Qianjie, who was in high spirits, would have beaten a few more people.]

[The strange fighting ability displayed by Qianjie attracted the attention of "Fire Moth", and it also became curious about Aponia who could dissuade Qianjie, so "Fire Moth" ordered you to take the two of them back... As for the children, it will be a side job.]

[On the way back, Li sent you another message, saying that he had found a "kitten" with some talent for finding things, and that it might be able to help with the search and rescue. See if you need it.]

[You naturally choose to agree to this]

[So, while bringing Aponia and Qianjie back to the "Fire Moth", you also met the "kitten" named Padofelice]

[Hmm... How should I put it... Although Padufils is indeed very talented in finding things, it is not impossible to apply it to search and rescue, but... she is too timid and not suitable for going to the battlefield.]

[But it doesn't seem good to waste it, so after a brief negotiation with Padofelice, you and "Fire Moth" gave her a simple training, and arranged for her to do some logistical work. At the same time, you reserved a position for her in the ordinary rescue team, and planned to throw her into the rescue team after she got familiar with the working environment.]

[But judging from the subsequent situation... um... it seems that Padufils would rather stay in the logistics unit...]

[It seems like everything is fine? Although there are problems with the "Ore Disease Therapy", you are also researching other treatment methods. As long as you find a new treatment method that can replace the "Ore Disease Therapy" and can be widely promoted, it will be fine.]

[At that time, you can abandon the potentially harmful "ore disease therapy" and use the nature of nanometals that are increasingly sensitive to Honkai energy to deal a heavy blow to Honkai... You know, Honkai beasts hit by nanometals can be condensed into "Originium"! This is an important source of energy! ]

[At that time, each time the Honkai breaks out, it will no longer be a disaster, but a special source of energy for the world... Honkai breaks out? It doesn't matter. With one "Originium Nuclear Bomb", the Honkai outbreak site will instantly become an "Originium" mining site.]

[“Fire Moth” has even started to create a special category of weapons called “Originium Weapons”, which is intended to do just that.]

[Hmm? What? You mean the destroyed city? The people who died in the collapse?]

[I don't know~ "Fire Moth" doesn't know anything~ It's all Honkai's fault, right? 】

[After all, the collapse is an unpredictable natural disaster. What can the "Fire Moth" do, right? 】

[But unfortunately, the beautiful vision of "Fire Moth" was hit and tested during its first attempt.]

[Because at that time, a special Honkai beast was born from the "Source Stone"]

[Like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, its figure slowly emerges from the Originium, its gorgeous wings slowly open, bringing with them bits of Originium dust]
