Collapse, I am actually in the villain camp

However, the following words made her feel a little more at ease.

"However, please rest assured. Although they can control various energies due to the shared 'power of control', their strength is far less than that of a single Herrscher.

"In a single-player battle, the fusion warrior unit possessed by "Fire Moth" is enough to easily defeat the opponent.

"The most troublesome aspect of the Herrscher of Domination is that, while its power isn't strong, its host is able to hide among the human population, making its destructive power over the stability of human society far greater."

Mei also expressed her strong agreement with this point.

Strong city walls are often breached from the inside, so internal stability is extremely important.

She continued to look down.

"The Ruler of Domination" can parasitize humans as its hosts through negative emotions, and because of the connection of power between them, a "network of domination" exists between them.

"They can communicate regardless of distance through the 'Domination Network', thereby causing organized and planned destruction, causing everyone in human society to feel insecure due to various things.

"This is what I know about the Herrscher of Domination.

"I hope that 'Fire Moth' can safely overcome this difficult time."

After reading the message in one breath, Mei's eyes fell on the two words at the end of the message - "Destiny".

She fell into deep thought.

At present, she is unable to confirm whether this information is true or false.

But whether it was true or false, she had to verify it.

Mu Continent had just sunk not long ago. Not to mention ordinary human society, even in the base of the "Fire Moth", there was an extremely desperate mood.

The power of "Fire Moth" has been growing continuously, but the price it pays on the road to fighting against Honkai is becoming more and more cruel.

"Hollow" seems like a bottomless abyss. No matter how hard they try, they cannot completely destroy each other and can only perish in repeated struggles.

This pessimistic attitude greatly affected the atmosphere within the "Fire Moth". Mei couldn't think of a better solution for a while and could only immerse herself in research.

We hope to achieve further technological breakthroughs in related fields so that the "Fire Moth" can more easily deal with the Herrscher in future battles.

However, reminded by this news, she felt that it was time for her to take action.

If it was true as the other party said, then the spread of this emotion would likely allow the Tenth Herrscher to directly lurk among the "Fire Moths" and cause some uncontrollable accidents.

Picking up the communicator, she dialed one of the numbers.

As soon as the ringtone rang, the call was connected directly.

"Kevin, come to my office." She said directly.

"Okay." Without asking the reason, Kevin immediately agreed, put down the work in his hands, and rushed directly towards Mei's office.

……

"Is this all right?" Kiana blinked as she watched Blake's actions.

"Yes." Li Wen nodded. "After all, we have to face more than a thousand Herrschers this time. If we rely on our own strength to search, it would be too difficult. Therefore, we can only rely on the power of the 'Fire-Chasing Moth'."

"Don't we need to go find them and act together?" Kiana asked again.

"No need." Li Wen shook his head slightly. "For the Fire Moths, strangers like us are more worthy of suspicion. It may be difficult to gain their trust.

"Dr. Mei is a smart person, and the information I gave her is enough for her to deal with the current situation.

"Once she confirms the information about the Ruler of Herr Sceptre, she will naturally contact us.

"So, from now on, we just have to wait patiently."

Chapter 39: Weiwei's Speculation

……

"Kevin, I would like to examine you." Mei spoke immediately after Kevin arrived.

Although she never doubted Kevin, the power of collapse always made familiar people become unfamiliar.

Furthermore, Kevin's mentality had been significantly affected since the Sixth Herrscher incident, making him even more likely to become the target of the "Herrscher of Domination" mentioned in the message.

Therefore, in order to confirm that there was nothing wrong with Kevin, she had to give him a detailed examination.

"Okay." It was still just a short word. Kevin never refused any of Mei's suggestions.

Without further communication, Mei immediately operated the instruments in her office to conduct a detailed examination of Kevin.

After a careful inspection, Mei was completely relieved to find that Kevin did not show any signs of a Herrscher reaction.

So she told Kevin all the information she had obtained.

After listening to Mei's story, Kevin's expression grew serious. "If it's true as this person says, then the 'Fire Moth' has most likely become the Herrscher's target."

"Yes." Mei nodded. "So, to ensure the safety of the headquarters, I must investigate some people. Kevin, in the next operation, if you find anyone showing any abnormality, you can take direct action."

"I understand." Kevin took a deep breath and showed an extremely determined look.

Without saying anything more, Mei picked up her communicator again and called some important targets she needed to confirm to her office.

……

"Oh, isn't that Dr. Mobius? What a coincidence."

Looking at the mature green-haired lady, Alicia's eyes lit up and she quickly waved and greeted her.

"Tsk." Mei looked Alicia up and down before slowly speaking, "I thought Dr. Mei was going to discuss the issue of fusion warrior technology with me, but seeing you here, I don't think it's a big deal."

"Don't say that. I am also a fusion warrior, and a very good one. Only Kevin is slightly stronger than me. It's normal for Dr. Mei to ask me to come." Alicia didn't care about Mebius's sarcasm at all. Instead, she asked with a smile.

"Hmph." Mebius snorted coldly, and without saying anything else, he pushed open the door and walked in.

Alicia followed closely with a smile in her eyes and stepped into the room.

When they entered the room, they found that in addition to Dr. Mei, Kevin, Weiwei and Su were also there.

Mebius noticed the abnormality immediately.

Although there are not many people here, each of them is the true core of the "Fire Moth".

Needless to say, Mei is the leader of the "Fire Moth" and controls all the actions of the "Fire Moth".

Even her research funding needed the other party's approval, so even though she had no interest in the other party's call, she still came here.

Kevin and Alicia are the core figures of the fusion warriors.

Basically the entire fusion warrior force is under the command of the two of them.

Su took over the position of director of the Fifth Research Institute after the death of Spasi during the Eighth Honkai.

The final executor of the "Stigma Project" that she is currently in charge of is him, which is enough to show how much Dr. Mei values Su.

Wei Liwei, this woman, is an absolute genius even from her perspective.

As the director of the Engineering Department, he not only built many God's Keys, but also most of the buildings of "Fire Moth", including the prison "The Deep".

It is no exaggeration to say that these people present are the real core figures of the "Fire Moth" in terms of combat, research, and engineering.

Dr. Mei actually gathered them all here. I'm afraid something big is going to happen.

Just as she was thinking this, Mei spoke up, "The Fire Moth's network has been hacked."

"You should talk to the people in the cybersecurity department about this kind of thing, May," Mebius said directly, unable to hold back his words.

"What's important is not this, but the message left by the other party. Everyone, please look here." Mei said, and after some operation, he projected the virtual image of the message.

So, everyone turned their eyes to the virtual image in front of them and carefully read the information that even Dr. Mei was so cautious about.

After a while, after reading the entire message, a hint of disdain appeared on Mebius' face. "Doctor Mei, do you really want to believe this information? Even the 'Fire Moth' couldn't decipher it. Do you think it's really possible for anyone to decipher it?"

The others remained silent, as if they still had not recovered from the shock of this information.

At this time, Wei Erwei spoke up, "Not necessarily."

"Vilvi, what do you mean?" Mebius frowned and looked at Vilvi beside him.

"Ah, please don't misunderstand me, dear Mobius." Velvet bowed to Mobius exaggeratedly. "I just thought of a possibility. Under normal circumstances, it is indeed impossible for us to find out the power of the Herrscher before he takes action. But what if the person who sent this message is the Herrscher?"

Faced with Velvi's bold guess, even Mebius was stunned for a moment.

Mei said calmly, "What is your basis?"

"It's very simple. If this person is a Herrscher, the reason he sent out such a message is not to warn us. Instead, he hopes that we will panic because of the message he sent out." Weiwei explained.

"You mean, it intends to use such ideas to cause greater unrest so that it can better control humans to become its hosts?" Mebius immediately understood what Velvi meant.

"That's right!" Wei Erwei nodded, waving her hands. "If this news gets out, no one will be able to trust their companions anymore. How terrible would that be?"

Mei couldn't help but nodded slightly. Wei Erwei's guess did have a certain possibility.

Seeing everyone lost in thought, Mebius turned his gaze back to Mei. "Mei, I'm afraid you didn't call us here just to discuss this, right? Tell me your purpose."

May's expression remained calm as she listened to Mebius' words. "I just hope that everyone can undergo the corresponding tests so that I can still trust you."

Chapter 40 Mei's Arrangement

The people summoned by Mei were not too surprised by this.

They are not stupid. Since Mei called them here and made these things clear, it is obvious that she needs to verify their identities to ensure that there is no problem with the core of "Fire Moth".

As for Kevin, they guessed that Mei had already given him a physical examination.

Otherwise, Mei is just an ordinary person. If there really is a Tenth Herrscher among them, Mei will definitely not be able to deal with it.

As for Mei's condition, they had no doubts at all.

As the actual decision-maker of the "Fire Moth", if Mei was really parasitized by the "Ruler of Domination", then no one in the entire "Fire Moth" would know how they ended up.

Therefore, they all agreed to Mei's proposal.

Mebius even urged directly, "Quickly end these boring tricks, I still have a lot of research to do."

Hearing Mebius's somewhat impatient tone, May looked at him deeply. "Dr. Mebius, if I remember correctly, you should be in charge of the "Stigmata Project" plan recently."

The plan was the one she handed over to the other party and had gone through several iterations.

Mebius complained to her every time he resubmitted his proposal.

But now the other party seems to be impatient...

Could it be that Mebius is conducting some research in private?

Hearing Mei's doubts, Mebius realized that his actions might have aroused suspicion. His lips curled slightly as he said sarcastically, "Yes, isn't this all thanks to you, Dr. Mei? If you hadn't rejected so many of my proposals, would I still be worrying about the Stigmata Project?"

"Then I hope that Dr. Mebius can give me a satisfactory plan as soon as possible." Mei did not continue to ask.

To be honest, after the sinking of Mu Continent, she had been considering some more rational and extreme plans.

Although Mobius's experiment is not accepted by others from a common sense perspective, it is undeniable that the other party is indeed on the side of the human camp and has been working hard to fight against the collapse.

Therefore, at a time when human power is declining, she does not mind the other party conducting some other research.

But she could not express her support clearly. After all, there were still many people in the upper echelons who were very dissatisfied with Mebius.

After quickly skipping over this topic, she went straight to arranging physical examinations for everyone.

The first person to be examined was Mobius. As the top researcher within the "Fire Moth", the other party only needed to make a few changes to the corresponding research to cause the "Fire Moth" to suffer heavy losses.

So, she had to investigate Mebius.

While she was examining Mebius, Kevin stood silently not far behind her, holding the "Judgment of Heavenly Fire", protecting her safety.

Fortunately, after some examination, Mei finally confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Mebius.

Immediately afterwards, the next person to be examined was Weiwei.

As the director of the engineering department, the other party's importance is self-evident.

Then came Su, and finally Alicia.

After confirming that there were no problems with these core personnel, Mei's expression relaxed slightly.

"I say, Mei. You don't really think what that intruder said is true, do you?" Seeing that everyone had completed the inspection and found no problems, Mebius finally couldn't help but speak again.

She still couldn't believe that someone could get information about the Herrscher who hadn't appeared yet.
