Before the collapse of civilization, Yingjie and I were reborn together

"Their behavior style is indeed extremely hidden, but from the beginning to the end, they have only one purpose, and that is to completely unify the voices of the fire moths." The king said calmly, "The purpose of the establishment of the fire moths is to In order to fight against Houkai, but once there is only one voice left in the Moth, who can guarantee that the path they finally choose is a path suitable for human beings?"

Lionel was silent, only this, he couldn't think of how to justify it.

"Back to the topic of the so-called 'shadow', you should also know about the recent news of the assassination of Lord Abraham, right?" the king continued.

Lionel nodded: "Yes, but it is very likely that this is just a coincidental armed conflict..."

"Coincidence? Sometimes, a coincidence may be a coincidence because some people want you to see it." The king lowered his eyes, "This document on my desk, you can see for yourself, they... have gradually disappeared. Don’t hide yourself anymore. They know that we know their existence, so I’m afraid that in the near future, they will really stand up and dominate the flame-chasing moths in front of us openly.”

"Ouroboros..." Lionel whispered the key word on the document. Of course he knew what it was. " and other meanings, in the legend, it is a giant snake that surrounds the world with its head and tail connected.

Its other name may be more familiar to later generations, Jormungand.

The giant serpent that surrounds the world, the World Serpent Jormungandr.

In this file, Lionel saw that, as early as a long time ago, the World Snake had provided weapons and equipment for various local armed forces in Africa, and used this to transfer funds.

And this time period can even be traced back to the fourth big collapse.

"That is to say, was the World Snake born before the Fourth Great Crash?" Lionel frowned. Born as the shadow of the flame-chasing moth before the Fourth Great Crash... When it comes to the infinity and immortality represented by the term "Ouroboros", and the life cycle behind it, Lionel's first reaction is Mebius.

Moreover, the symbol of Mebius happens to be the snake. In addition, Mebius is not without the motivation to build the world snake. Mebius was also one of the participants in the establishment of the fire-chasing moth. It can be said that the fire-chasing The elder figure of the Moth, but she was ostracized shortly thereafter, exiled from the center of power.

At the same time, when it comes to the famous events related to Mebius before the Fourth Herrscher incident, all Lionel can think of is the assassination she suffered, and Sira, the assassin who assassinated her, is now the original Fusion fighters belong to Feng's team and are under Feng's jurisdiction.

And after this assassination, Mebius abnormally didn't choose to take revenge back, but just made a little counterattack and let it go.

Anyone who knows something about the shadow lurking in the flame-chasing moth is very clear that Mebius is definitely a high-level figure in that shadow organization, but when they start to realize the existence of the shadow, they have been unable to its eradication.

They don't know how far the shadow has spread, how much the Flame Chasing Moth has been eroded... and, in the face of the enemy of the Honkai, the record of the Flame Chasing Moth is indeed impressive, which is even more Let them not act rashly, even if Mu Dalu's research institute for Honkai can theoretically be comparable to or even better than Moth Chasing Fire, but...

Who can tell?

In terms of experience in fighting against Honkai, which organization is better than Moths of Fire?

If at all costs, starting from Mebius and uprooting that shadow, who knows how much impact it will have on Moth Chasing Fire, and after that, in the face of an increasingly severe situation against Honkai, As the main force, the vitality of the Moth Chasing the Flame was seriously injured. Who can guarantee that the next time the Herrscher appears, human beings can survive it safely?

"It's just... why did they choose Africa, which is lagging behind?" Lionel said to himself suspiciously, "Anyway, North America and Europe are more suitable than Africa...etc. Wait, are they using Africa as a testing ground for new weapons?"

The chaotic situation in Africa is beyond the reach of the United Nations, and the xenophobia of the local armed organizations has made it very difficult for the fire-chasing moths to clean up the collapse. Therefore, in the end, the fire-chasing moths and the local armed forces reached an agreement to clean up the emerging ones by themselves. The Honkai Beast, the Flaming Moth will provide weapons and funds, and the local armed forces must keep this highly secret from the public, otherwise the result will be the Flame Chasing Moth's extermination at any cost.

The African branch of Flaming Moth is only a nominal branch, and in fact all the management of it is handled by the local armed forces themselves.

From this point of view, the layout of the World Snake in Africa may be for the purpose of conducting weapon experiments against Houkai... In other words, Wei Wei, who is responsible for most of the production of the God's Key and is the head of the Flame Chasing Moth's Weapons Department, is also a World Snake. Snake?

His Majesty the King said that Beffinger's betrayal was...

"It seems that you have also thought of it, Sir Lionel." The king's tone became a little cold, "It was Beffinger who supported Mebius as a member of the council at the earliest, and at that time, none of us noticed that the world snake The existence of this organization, and after being aware of it, they didn't pay much attention to it, but simply regarded it as a faction within the Flaming Moth. If you think so, all activities of Beffinger since then It's worth looking for."

Supporting Mebius' ascension, promoting the Fusion Warrior Project in the court of the Mu Continent, and for this reason, he even did not hesitate to enter the Flaming Moth as a "spy" to "monitor" the progress of the Fusion Warrior Project.

Until now...

"If I stop the Fusion Warrior project now, what is the probability that this project will be completely stopped in Flamemoth?" the king asked.

Lionel was silent. Mebius had secretly carried out the fusion warrior plan to create Sira a long time ago. If the spread of the world snake is large enough, it can indeed be hidden...

The currently known high-ranking members of the World Snake are Mebius and Admiral. In Europe, except for Spaci, the director of the Fifth Research Institute, and Admiral, who have disagreements, they are basically Admiral. Le's speech.

Velvet, who is the head of the Fire Moth's Weapons Department, is very likely to be a high-ranking snake in the world, and his sister, Roverko, who is the right-hand man of both Mebius and Velvet, cannot escape suspicion.

In other words, with Luo Fuko's character, Mebius established the World Snake. If she knew about it, it would be strange if she didn't join.

In addition, the position of Feng, who is currently the highest combat power of the Fire Chasing Moth, is also very doubtful, and he may even be the veteran or one of the founders of the world snake.

He was the first collaborator of Mebius to take the initiative to contact, the protector of Mebius in the Mebius assassination incident, the first person to take the initiative to undergo fusion warrior surgery, and has the ability to kill the third, fourth, and seventh Herrschers record...

In this way, the force, armaments, and technological world snakes already have it.

In this situation, so what if Mu Dalu discovered the World Snake?What price will it pay to wage an all-out war with the world snake?Then let human beings maim themselves before being smashed to pieces?

Even if Kevin's position is Mei, whose position is different from that of Mebius, then Feng has at least half of the fusion fighters under his command. In addition, Feng's own reputation among the fighters of the flame moth, and Mei's unclear Attitude……

In the current three-point power of Chasing the Moth, Mebius undoubtedly belongs to the World Snake, and although Mei and Mebius have different positions in various positions, they can be consistent in most cases , only Lionel's faction is really directly subordinate to Mu Dalu... But even on Lionel's own side, there is an extremely suspicious Beffinger, who is still the second in command.

To sum up, Mu Dalu really has no way to attack the snakes of the world. The king is not a fool, and of course he knows that fighting against Honkai is the top priority, and there is no reason to engage in internal friction among human beings.

What really made him feel uneasy and angry was the possible betrayal by Beffinger, the deception by Mebius, and... the World Snake's cleanup of the councilors who had been expelled from the center of power.

The most important thing is the message sent back by Mu Dalu's secret stake in the third research institute before he died. The birth of the eighth Herrscher is related to a certain experiment conducted by Admiral!

However, this information was intercepted before it was received by Mu Dalu. Although Mu Dalu took measures immediately, most of the information was destroyed by the World Snake in the end, and there was only one Asian in the recovered information. DeMille speculates that the Eighth Herrscher incident is related to one of his experiments.

This also explains why when the Eighth Herrscher incident happened, Admiral was able to quickly propose a countermeasure and put it into action...

This incident was really fatal, and the king's trust in Flaming Moth dropped significantly.

Although the Eighth Herrscher incident was properly resolved in the end, what should we do if these guys come up with another Herrscher next time?Can they handle it next time?

Therefore, as soon as he received the information, the king called Lionel back from the Flaming Moth.

The Moth Chasing Fire is unreliable, so Mu Dalu will do it himself.

As for Lionel, as the younger generation of the military family of the Mu Continent, Lionel can be regarded as a king who grew up watching him. The king knows what his character is, and at the same time, he is giving this information to Leon When Gnar, the king was also observing Lionel, confirming that Lionel knew nothing.

Lionel silently read through the compiled investigation report. Except for some things about the World Snake, there is no definite evidence for the existence of other World Snake high-level officials. They can only stay in "suspect", " Very likely" stage.

There is no evidence for anything, but it is reasonable to suspect... Even the incident about Admiral just said that Admiral speculated that there is a connection, and there is nothing else.

It also pointed out that the World Snake Network is very likely to cooperate with the world's top hacker Shadoll. In addition, there are also many hackers related to the World Snake, who are jointly responsible for the network intelligence and security of the World Snake.

This makes it even more difficult to find out the shadow of the World Snake from the network, and it is even very likely that the World Snake has its own independent network within the World Snake.

only……

If Beffinger is also a high-level or cadre of the World Snake, then wouldn't there be other World Snakes on Mu Dalu's side?

Lionel figured it out quickly, and the king knew about it, but he had no choice but to call him back, at least to ensure that Mu Dalu's response to the Honkai Research Institute and the Defense Force would not be overwhelmed by the world. The snake erodes into a sieve.

No wonder Mu Dalu's support for the Moth of Chasing Fire gradually weakened and began to become a restriction... But, in this way, won't the conflict between the World Snake and Mu Dalu be further intensified?and……

What Lionel thought of was the figure of Beffinger, Feng, Mebius, Wei Wei and others, and finally Roverko...

He made up his mind.

Chapter 255 The King's Position

Seeing that Lionel no longer questioned his order, the king sighed softly and told Lionel to step back, giving him time to gather his thoughts.

As the king of Mu Continent with the highest technological power in the world, there are some things that he needs to consider more than others.

Like Lionel, of course he admits that Honkai has gradually become the enemy of mankind. Human beings must change their attitudes towards Honkai. Find a way to preserve human civilization, and be prepared to pay a huge price to defeat Honkai.

It was precisely because of this that when Beffinger suggested that Mebius be promoted to the position of member of parliament, he chose to agree.

He is the king of Continent Mu. If it weren't for his nod, how could Mebius have successfully ascended to the position of member?And the problem he was considering at that time was also very simple. The thinking of Moth Chasing Moth and the researchers of Mu Dalu had become rigid and conservative, and they extremely rejected other people who did not match their thinking.

He let Mebius take the position to open up the road of research on Houkai. In fact, the results obtained by Mebius in the period after he took the position also met his expectations. Without the Fusion Warrior Project, the first What kind of heavy damage will mankind suffer during the Seven Herrschers incident?During the Eighth Herrscher incident, human beings were helpless without fusion warriors.

But... the World Snake's hand was too long, and the king never knew why Mebius wanted to control the entire Flaming Moth.

He had seen Mebius who was just fledgling and emerging in the world, and Mebius who was pushed out of the center of power after the establishment of Flamemoth. He never cares about his opinions, and has almost no desire for power.

For such a person, she only desires the truth in her heart, which is why the King was confused by the World Serpent's attempt to spread its power to the entire Flaming Moth.

I don't know when, under the monitoring of Mu Dalu, Mebius' enthusiasm for some of her experiments has somewhat decreased. It seems that everything has already been expected by her. She began to actively pursue power. At the beginning, The king thought she had finally figured it out and stopped doing experiments alone.

"Speaking of which, that girl Alicia..." the king said to himself while twisting his beard.

As the warrior who single-handedly killed the Second Herrscher, the king could not have understood that before Zhu Yufeng and Kevin joined the Firemoth, in the king's heart, Alicia was positioned as the brave man who saved the world, and that After the two arrived at the Moth of Chasing the Fire, Alicia obviously started paddling, or she was intentionally or unintentionally downplaying her role in the crusade against the Herrscher...

Although it was probably because Alicia felt that Kevin and Zhu Yufeng could do those things, she didn't have to use all her strength... This is based on the time Alicia first joined Flamemoth as her The conclusions drawn from the observation report submitted by the guide trace.

However, in fact, Alicia still maintains a relentless attitude towards fighting against Honkai. She was the one who performed the surgery after Zhu Yufeng and Kevin performed the fusion warrior surgery.

Does she know anything about the World Snake?

As for Alicia, the king had heard it mentioned by Ken when he stayed with Branca in the Mu Continent before, and Lionel, who was stationed in the Fire Moth later, also confirmed that Alicia was I like Zhu Yufeng.

"Maple...are you a brave man who saved the world, or a lonely demon king?"

There is no doubt that both Hen and Lionel have a high opinion of Zhu Yufeng. Regardless of Hen, Lionel's critical gaze can give him a very high evaluation, which shows that Zhu Yufeng really has capable.

However, he will almost certainly be one of the top leaders of the world snake. After all, if you think about it from another angle, if Mebius really wants to control the entire Fire Chasing Moth, he will naturally not miss out in terms of force. A fusion soldier who also served as a guard was transferred to Zhu Yufeng's team without encountering any resistance.

From the current point of view, perhaps for Mebius, this is simply a matter of going from left hand to right hand.

On the aspect of fighting against Honkai, the king does not doubt Zhu Yufeng's position, but... If Zhu Yufeng thinks that the path that the World Snake is walking is correct, then he will definitely agree with the plan of the World Snake to unify the internal voices of the Fire Chasing Moth Remaining in favor, its joining the world snake and the motivations for it...

Perhaps, on the one hand, Mebius had the favor of recommending him, and on the other hand, the disagreement between the top management of the Fire Moth during the Seventh Herrscher incident finally became the cause of the expansion of the Seventh Herrscher incident, and in the Afterwards, because of Uriel's counterattack before his death, he had to undergo fusion warrior surgery to save his life...

Looking at it from another angle, it's really a ghost if he doesn't have any opinions on those congressmen.

In addition, the king actually had other considerations in his heart. Of course, he believed in the judgment of Lionel and Hen on Zhu Yufeng, and he also knew that Zhu Yufeng and Kevin would definitely become the main force against Honkai in the future. He has an identity, besides fighting against Honkai, he is the king of Mu Continent.

Then he had to consider for Mu Dalu.

If this struggle is over, the Moth of the Fire Chaser should almost be disbanded, but will the World Snake really disappear?Where should the fusion fighters that have appeared so far go?They have a longer lifespan than humans, and they also have much stronger power than humans. Their existence is a problem.

Taking a step back, if this struggle becomes a distant one and turns into a tug of war, the existence of fusion fighters will become extremely important, so what should humans do if fusion fighters have other ideas?

The conflict between Zhu Yufeng's Barr and the members of the council is not just an exception. There are also conflicts between the fusion fighters and the council on Kevin's side, but Zhu Yufeng's side is the most obvious.

From the current point of view, Kevin and Zhu Yufeng are the most reliable, they can quickly suppress the fusion fighters under their command, but what if something goes wrong with the two of them?

Whether it was Kevin or Zhu Yufeng, Mu Dalu couldn't control them.

First of all, Kevin is in a relationship with Dr. Mei, and he obeys Dr. Mei's orders all the time. Zhu Yufeng is very intriguing. It's not that he doesn't have a partner, but that there are too many possible partners, which makes it unclear. Ya, Lionel said it was Lilith, and Beffinger, who had jumped back, said it was Mebius. Other members of the Mu mainland in the Moth also said it was Wei Wei, Sakura, It's Patofelice's...

The king was stunned when he saw all kinds of information. What is it that a thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets?There are a thousand objects for a thousand observers?

All in all, Zhu Yufeng's partner definitely exists, but it's not clear who it is.

It is this unclearness that is the most troublesome. If it is Lilith, her younger brother Daweien is currently a collaborator of Fire Moth and has made achievements on Mu Dalu's side. According to Mu Dalu's investigation, Lilith He is a model representative who loves his younger siblings and is harmonious and friendly to the people around him. He is well-known in the local area. In this way, if you win over Daveen, you may win over Lilith, and then you can give Zhu Yufeng some advice and let him change his position or something. .

If it is Alicia, it will be a little troublesome. Although other people in the fire moth have a high opinion of Alicia, Alicia is almost alone, and there is no way to get away from her. If she is also a world snake, how can she be brought to Mu Dalu's side?

Others agree.

The worst thing is Mebius. If Zhu Yufeng's target is Mebius, then he can completely give up the idea of ​​digging people.

Zhu Yufeng, whether it is Hen or the observation report submitted by Lionel, clearly pointed out that Zhu Yufeng can't remember the names of many people. It's not a memory problem, but he doesn't care. Zhu Yufeng has little or no attitude of proactive contact with people outside the circle.

Reliable is reliable, but it basically means that it is impossible for the king to marry a princess to him or something.

As far as the current fusion fighters are concerned, Zhu Yufeng's ability is theoretically the strongest, because the Honkai Beast factor he has fused comes from the last dharma-level Honkai Beast Yuga that humans have not been able to defeat until now. He has a certain degree of Time-based ability, but to what extent, the secret report submitted by Mebius is no longer credible, and it can only be confirmed that it is true that it has time-based ability.

For such a warrior, in the eyes of the king, it is a double-edged sword, or at least it should be Mu Dalu's sword, but unfortunately... it seems that there is no way to dig him away from the flame-chasing moth.

Except for Lilith, Zhu Yufeng's other possible partners are basically the ones who are alone. Although Sakura has a younger sister, her younger sister is only 13 years old, and her role is limited. The people of the world snake, it is impossible for her sister to be stared at by the people of the world snake, trying to find a breakthrough here is no different from directly tearing the face.

Eliminating and eliminating, only Lilith can find a breakthrough point...

Although I don't know how much the probability is, I still have to try it later, but... the judgment of Hen and Lionel is more reliable than others in the king, so it is probably Alicia and Lily Si chooses one of the two. If Beffinger is to say, he no longer has much trust value in the king's heart, and the information he gives is likely to be a smoke bomb.

After all, the age gap between Zhu Yufeng and Mebius is still a bit big...

Beffinger... is considered one of the best young talents in the Mu Continent, and what he is best at is reading people's hearts. Yes, at that time, the king actually had already thought about finding a way to get Mebius on the throne. It's just that Beffinger took the initiative to take the responsibility if he caused trouble in the future.

He wanted to use Beffinger, but was Belfinger using him at that time?

The thoughts in his heart were broken by Beffinger, and because he had someone who could take the blame at that time, his thoughts that he was still hesitating, after Beffinger's rhetoric, were guided in a direction that was beneficial to the world snake, It wasn't until now that I realized the threat of the world snake and looked back to find something tricky.

And even if Belfinger is reversed now, the king finds that he really has no way to deal with Beffinger. In the past, Beffinger could be used as a tool to handle the blame. Beffinger spoke for himself, and he himself It was used as Beffinger's backing, but after this guy ran away to the Flaming Moth, he jumped back, and there was nothing he could do about him.

The Moth of Chasing Fire was already out of Mu Dalu's reach. Even without his backing, no one could kill Beffinger, let alone Beffinger is still a fusion fighter now.

As for his family...Beffinger grew up in a poor family, and his parents died when he was studying in adulthood. What can be his breakthrough point?

Because of this, the king has a certain skepticism about Beffinger's rebound. Beffinger is a college classmate of Lionel. He was introduced by Lionel and promoted by himself. With the existence of a lonely minister, how did he get poached by the world snake?

At that time, what conditions did the World Snake, which had just started, offer that Mu Dalu could not give?

No matter how hard it is to figure it out, the probability that Belfinger has jumped back is quite high. In order to prevent the world snake from continuing to infiltrate the Mu Continent, the king can only let Beffinger stay in the fire moth. His "spy".

On the other hand, Lionel returned to his home in the mainland of Mu. He rejected the proposal of the banquet that Yanalto's father relayed for his return. He sat alone in the dark room for a long time, thinking long time.

Afterwards, he made a phone call.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to remember to call me, an old friend. How about it? You should have held a welcome banquet for you, right? Why didn't I hear the voice..."

"Beffinger." Lionel said, his voice a little hoarse, "I turned down the banquet."

"Oh? Really, from your tone... It seems that things are a little serious..." Beffinger's tone became a little playful.

"...Are you really betrayed?"
