Collapse, I am actually in the villain camp

After all, by that time, the Ruler of Consciousness would definitely not have the time to attack her.

Therefore, after making up her mind, she immediately screened out the relevant data, confirmed the direction of the core location where the strange man in the video was heading, and immediately informed Kevin of her judgment.

After learning the details from Mei, Kevin did not delay and immediately moved quickly through the steel corridor and rushed to the designated location, ready to intercept the strange man there.

Seeing that Kevin had already set out, Mei and Alicia both breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, in the entire Fire Moth, no one is stronger than Kevin.

In battle after battle, Kevin has already established himself as the number one in the "Fire Moth" combat sequence.

Although Alicia has challenged the opponent before, she has not been able to regain the first place so far.

If the Eighth Herrscher's ability hadn't been too troublesome, preventing them from locking onto his specific location, Kevin wouldn't have needed to deal with a Herrscher in such a troublesome way with his strength.

Kevin's strength is already extremely strong. He easily killed the Herrscher of Fire in the previous Australian wildfires.

Now, the Divine Key made from the core of the Herrscher of Flame has also become Kevin's weapon. With the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire in hand, they believe that no matter how powerful the Herrscher of Consciousness is, he will probably not be able to survive more than a few rounds in Kevin's hands.

Therefore, they only need to ensure the stable operation of the "Consciousness Hub" so that those spiritual fusion warriors can reversely lock the specific location of the Herrscher of Consciousness in reality by invading dreams, and the "Fire Moth" will be able to win this confrontation.

Hope everything goes well.

They prayed silently in their hearts.

……

On the other side, Li Wen was moving quickly in the passage.

Using the instruments Blake had left for him, he had already located a path to the center through the entire architectural layout of the "Fire Moth."

As long as he continued to move forward along the passage and successfully reached the core area of the "Fire Moth", he believed that he would be able to obtain more information soon.

He had been walking in the passage for quite a long time, but wherever he looked, he saw only one person after another deeply lost in sleep.

They fell to the ground in various postures, mumbling meaningless words under the flickering lights.

The sleeping people are obsessed with eternal dreams, but what Li Wen sees in them is an endless nightmare.

If the Eighth Herrscher is not defeated, these people will only gradually approach death in their so-called "sweet dreams."

His eyes quickly moved past those people, and Li Wen continued to move forward along the corridor.

He did not deliberately hide his figure. Rather, at this moment, he hoped that the survivors of the "Fire Moth" could discover his whereabouts.

After all, historical records often omit so-called minor details and only record key information.

However, precisely because of this record, he did not have a clear understanding of the specific situation of the Eighth Herrscher.

The information he knew only included the abilities of the Herrschers, the harm they caused, and how they were dealt with...

It was precisely because of this reason that his trial progress was extremely slow in the previous incidents with the Herrscher of Death and the Herrscher of Fire, and he had to rely on the power of the "Fire Moth" to obtain more information to help him break through.

If his actions at this moment could attract the attention of the "Fire Moth", it would definitely be good news for him.

After all, no matter whether both parties have good intentions or bad intentions, he is confident that he can obtain some of the information he needs through the words of the other party, thereby increasing the progress of each exploration after the "reset".

With this thought in mind, he quickly bypassed another passage.

However, before he could move forward, the swirling red flames that came towards him stopped him in his tracks.

He looked at the gate in front of him. A white-haired man was holding a red sword. He stood there like the most loyal guard, blocking his way.

Kevin...

Seeing the familiar figure, Li Wen narrowed his eyes slightly.

Chapter 19 If you can come back, I will treat you to a drink

"Stop here."

Kevin held a large sword surrounded by red flames in his hand, and pointed the tip of the sword at Li Wen's body.

His azure eyes were like two pieces of solid ice that had never melted, staring coldly at Li Wen.

It seemed that only Li Wen dared to make any rash moves, and the next moment, he was about to attack Li Wen.

Seeing this, Li Wen immediately said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm here to help you."

"We don't need help from people with unknown intentions." Kevin said coldly.

At this moment, he must eliminate all risks and ensure that the plan led by Meidu can proceed smoothly.

Therefore, he had to make Li Wen lose the threat to the "Fire Moth" here.

"Unknown purpose? I think my purpose is very clear. I came here for the "source", and you are also looking for ways to fight it, right?" Li Wen's expression remained unchanged.

He and Kevin tacitly avoided mentioning words related to Honkai or the Eighth Herrscher.

Although both sides were confident they could resist the invasion of the Eighth Herrscher, Kevin's presence here meant that someone was still controlling the monitoring system within the "Fire Moth".

Li Wen was worried that rashly mentioning the relevant words would cause those people to fall into a coma, and Kevin would really think that he had bad intentions.

Kevin was silent for a moment before he replied, "We've already found a way to deal with it. You don't need to worry about that."

The fusion warrior's transformation surgery made him extremely sensitive to danger. He could sense the huge sense of crisis brought to him by the man in front of him.

Therefore, he did not want to fight with the other party unless it was absolutely necessary, so as to avoid the fight between the two sides giving the Eighth Herrscher an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity.

"I believe you can resolve this crisis. I have never doubted your abilities." Li Wen chuckled. "But don't you think the price you pay is too high?"

Kevin remained silent.

Even before they defeated the Herrscher of Consciousness, they had already paid a horrific price.

Countless people around the world have fallen into the so-called "sleeping sickness", quietly waiting for death in a deep sleep.

Now, even the base of "Fire Moth" has been attacked by the enemy, causing most of the systems to be paralyzed.

Although he had great confidence in Mei's arrangements, he couldn't help but feel a little worried about the "price" he had already paid and was about to pay.

Mei grasped a crucial piece of information from Li Wen's words. "He seems to know us very well..."

Alicia also showed a puzzled look on the side, "Could it be officials from several major countries?"

"Probably not." Mei shook her head. "If that were the case, he could have revealed his identity. Right now, our interests are aligned. As long as his identity is clear, we would definitely choose to cooperate with him instead of being stuck in this stalemate."

Listening to Mei and Alicia's conversation on the communication channel, Kevin continued his cold reply, "If you truly understand us, then you should know that in this situation, leaving here is the right choice."

"Unfortunately, I can't agree to your request." Li Wen shook his head decisively and rejected the other party's proposal.

Even if he had to go to war with the other side, he would take this opportunity to obtain more information for himself, so as to provide certain help for his next action.

Moreover, in his perception, although Kevin's strength is good, it seems to be much worse than Kevin in the original world. At least, he feels that he can handle it.

So, without hesitation, he flashed and quickly jumped towards the gate behind Kevin.

Kevin reacted quickly upon seeing this. The red flames lingering on the sword suddenly surged outward, instantly illuminating the entire passage with a crimson glow.

The solid steel used to construct the tunnel began to melt under the terrifying high temperature, and large drops of iron liquid dripped onto the ground.

Li Wen immediately mobilized his energy and formed a protective shield around him.

Although the scorching flames did not break through the defense of the protective shield, Kevin's obstruction still prevented Li Wen from breaking into the gate behind the opponent.

As expected of Kevin, even with just this level of skill, he can still unleash such impressive strength. Is this talent?

Li Wen felt a little emotional. His talent in combat was average, but he had only reached where he was today through the hardships of various things.

Seeing that he could not rely on speed to break through Kevin's blockade, Li Wen did not hesitate. He clenched his right hand in the air, and an ice crystal sword immediately appeared in his hand.

Since I can't avoid it, I'll defeat you first.

With this thought in mind, Li Wen launched an attack on Kevin.

The fight that broke out between the two attracted the attention of Mei and Alicia.

Through a camera far away from the fighting location, the two began to observe the specific situation.

Because the two fought extremely quickly, Mei, as an ordinary scientific researcher, was unable to capture any trace of the fight between the two and could only understand the specific situation through Alicia's words.

However, the solemn expression on Alicia's face revealed some very bad news.

In the battle between the two sides, Kevin was actually the one who was completely suppressed.

……

On the other side, the battle near the core area attracted the attention of the personnel in the Fifth Institute.

Sensing the unusual movements outside, Spasi, the director of the Fifth Research Institute, could not help but speed up the preparations for the "Consciousness Hub".

Soon, as his preparations were completed, he immediately looked at the several psychic fusion warriors in the "Consciousness Hub".

"The Observation Hub is about to start, everyone please be prepared."

Hearing Spasi's words, all the fusion warriors in the connection vessels nodded.

"You have ten minutes to search for it," Spasi continued. "After ten minutes, the Observation Center will automatically pull your consciousness back. Until then, you must be extremely careful and don't get lost in the dream."

"And..." He shifted his gaze to a glass in the center, "Su, I want to apologize to you. If you can come back, I'll buy you a drink."

He raised the wine flask that he kept close to him and shook it gently towards Su.

Su gave a soothing smile and shook his head gently, "Doctor, this is my own choice."

"Huh..." After a long sigh, Spasi put away his decadent look and turned serious again. "Let's stop chatting here. Okay, let's begin the experiment!

"Observation Hub activated, all psychopathic fusion warriors, release the 'consciousness shackles' and enter its dream!"

Chapter 20 What are you doing? !

Following Spasi's words, the "Consciousness Hub" that had been prepared long ago instantly began to operate.

A large amount of light pink light began to rise and surrounded the people in the vessel.

Under the influence of this Houkai energy, the psychopathic fusion warriors in the vessel closed their eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Spasi did not let his guard down, but kept switching his gaze between the crowd and the data on the virtual display screen.

Although this project seems to have been verified to ensure its normal operation, in order to prevent the Eighth Herrscher from discovering their intentions, they have not yet officially used the "Consciousness Hub".

In addition, his apprentice was also one of the people participating in the experiment, so he was also very nervous.

In this tense atmosphere, accompanied by the sound of successful connection prompts, he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that all the telepathic fusion warriors had been connected to the Eighth Herrscher's dream.

"Huh... I hope I can get rid of it soon."

Spasi looked at Su in the vessel and took a deep breath.

Then he unscrewed the wine flask he carried with him and took a sip, intending to use this to relax his tense expression.

Although this is not the right time to drink, it is his habit after all, so he has no intention of changing it by force.

Moreover, he didn't drink much. The slight alcohol intake would not affect his thinking, but would slightly stimulate his nerves.

However, after the wine entered his throat, he shook his head slightly.

"The 'consciousness shackles' have made me so dizzy that I can't even taste the wine..."

Smacking his lips, Spasi showed an inexplicable expression on his face.

Although the wine in the jug was not a rare variety, it was one that he quite liked and he had been drinking it for many years.

Now, even his favorite wine was under the influence of the Herrscher and he couldn't taste it.

This made him very emotional.

Although he couldn't taste anything, his mind was indeed clearer than before under the influence of alcohol.

He raised his head and stared blankly at Su in the vessel, looking at the many tubes connected to his body. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "...I am really getting more and more confused as I grow older."

"He actually transformed his own student into a fusion warrior, and now he's sent him to hell."

"Doctor, don't blame yourself too much. This is Dr. Su's own choice." Bolong looked at Spasi with his eyes hidden under his sunglasses, and there was a hint of comfort in his tone.

"For this mission, all qualified individuals in the organization have undergone transformation. So... this is our last stand. Is that what you want to say, Bolong?"

Spasi didn't look away. He understood that this was the "right" choice, a necessary sacrifice to fight the Honkai.

But he still felt guilty towards Su, so he made an agreement with Su to drink together, hoping that the other party would return safely.

However, Bolong did not answer him, and the sound was an unexpected gunshot.
