Beng San, I have an unfinished date with her

"No!" Sakura's expression changed, and her coldness was replaced by gritted teeth.

She tried her best to pull out the blade caught in Long's fingers.

But this is disguise.

The real purpose is to pull out the other knife at the waist at this moment of relaxation.

However, this cannot be hidden from Long.

In other words, this way of seeking death was far from enough to anger Long in front of him.

Originally, he didn't intend to let her die.

Even those four guys were just punished by taking away their souls, and the real death did not come at all.

How could she let someone like Sakura have a deep friendship with her... Although she would never know about this now.

Only Alicia, Aponya, and thousands of people like Mebius in this world understand the strangeness.

There is no Sakura in this.

the next moment.

Both of Sakura's weapons appeared in Takashi's hands.

Sakura doesn't know whether to be happy or worried...

The gap is too big, and both weapons are controlled by others.

Now, Sakura is still an ordinary person after all.

If she becomes a fusion warrior, although she still cannot compare with the pure strength that Long's body can possess, she will not be so unshakable.

[Now, you should directly attack yourself with a backhand, right? ], she thought like this, and she was in a stalemate with Long, or rather she grabbed the two knives and refused to let go, exerting so much force that she was trembling - but Long's side didn't move at all.

A few seconds later, a voice came, dispelling Sakura's persistence.

"[Please] stop."

The familiar irresistible feeling came...

My former temporary teammates, after hearing this woman's words "[Please] stop," they have been standing there motionless like sculptures.

Sakura stopped vigorously scanning her eyes and looked at Aponya behind Takashi, who was looking at her.

There was a sense of compassion in that expression.

Soon, Sakura's hand left the handle of the knife and lowered her arm.

Long was still smiling, and he casually flicked the two knives he grabbed, heading straight for Sakura.

But she was disappointed.

As someone who has used knives all year round and is familiar with swordsmanship, it is very simple to judge the direction of the two blades.

Just as she had judged, with two soft sounds, the two knives were accurately inserted into the scabbards at her waist.

"..."

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Sakura calmed down and spoke in a cold voice.

"Why do you want to die?" Long responded with a smile.

"..."

"No need to be silent, I know the reason."

Brand new branches: 352. A gift for Sakura

Hearing what Long said, Sakura's eyes widened suddenly, and then radiated a dangerous light...but it could only last for a few seconds and immediately turned into a look that was close to dead water.

She thought of a lot at this moment.

Finally it turned into a thought.

If I can't protect my sister, I'm a failure.

"Huh? Miss Sakura, why are you so lifeless?" Long blinked and smiled: "I haven't said the reason yet."

After Sakura sighed, she said coldly: "It doesn't matter...it's up to you."

From beginning to end, she calls herself Sakura instead of forget-me-not. Sakura has already seen through the reason why she exposed all the information.

"Hahahaha, Sakura, I know what you are worried about." Long said and pointed to the church door and continued to say to her: "Right now, I will solve this worry for you, how about it?"

"Come and see."

After saying that, he walked towards the church door.

Aponia also nodded to Sakura and walked over there.

"Wait a minute, what are you talking about!?"

But the two of them didn't stop at all.

Sakura found that her heart was beating unexpectedly, and she was very panicked - she was scared.

【To solve this worry for you...】

She thought of something very bad...could it be the bell outside the gate? ,

Aponya and Long stopped in front of the gate and looked at her.

She gritted her silver teeth and involuntarily moved her legs away. Her steps were a little sporadic and no longer what they should be.

He took her to the front door, but the two of them were still looking at him from both sides.

This made Sakura feel a tingling sensation on her scalp... her throat moved as she wanted to say something.

"Come on, Miss Sakura, outside is Aponya's gift to you." Takashi's magnetic voice came over like a demon and entered Sakura's ears.

"Please." Takashi extended his arm gracefully to invite Sakura to open the door.

Sakura looked at his face, which was full of smiles, but couldn't tell what it meant.

【It's really...full of bad taste. 】

Sakura took a deep breath and suppressed the slight trembling in her body.

He closed his eyes, pushed the door open with all his strength, and rushed out.

But it only took a few steps and then stopped.

"Why do you close your eyes? How can you see the surprise like this?"

"Open your eyes and see."

Sakura had no choice but to open her eyes and check.

The moment she saw it, Sakura's brain seemed to be constantly bombarded by complex information. She was stunned on the spot, her eyes trembling and scanning around.

At the same time, great joy surged into her heart, because she did not see Ling among these people.

And...one or two of these guys look familiar to me.

It's the guy who showed up when we were gathering to accept this assassination commission.

After more than ten seconds, Sakura finally figured out the reason.

Take it easy.

There were more than a dozen guys in administrative-style suits, ordinary residents' uniforms, and one or two guys in military uniforms in front of them.

He was "restrained" by more than a dozen people who looked very strange.

Sakura was a little unsure if there was anything wrong with her senses.

Although there seemed to be nothing there, Sakura did feel that there was something on the dozen or so tied up guys, in the "hands" of the person with a strange aura behind them.

Unable to move, they stood still.

Different from the "temporary teammates" who were like sculptures after Aponia's words, these guys are still moving, and some of them seem unconvinced and are holding in their faces so hard that their faces are red and their blood vessels are bulging. It's really annoying. Worried that he might die suddenly.

But that's it, they can't go anywhere.

The person behind them Sakura doesn't know now.

They are all new humans transformed and evolved by Aponia through technology, and are the core of the church.

It can be understood as a human being who imitates the Herrscher and does not possess the core of the Herrscher.

But connected to the tree of imaginary numbers.

They will not be eroded by the torrent of imaginary numbers, because imaginary numbers are the basis of their survival.

They will be the race closest to the truth in the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, the pinnacle of human evolution.

This is also the method of evolution that Apponia taught Mebius.

However, there are some differences. The way of evolution given by Aponya personally is to use the power given to her by Long for transformation.

But the technique she taught Mebius was to use a huge amount of Honkai energy and a huge torrent of imaginary numbers to transform.

This can be done by implanting some of Honkaimon's genes, or directly connecting to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

But the latter is really troublesome, and it's impossible for Mebius to do it now.

The fire-chasing moth and humanity as a whole have to pay a huge price to explore even a little bit.

Only Aponia can touch easily.

So Mebius chose to study the former.

But everything is inseparable from Aponya's network.

Without access to Aponia's network, most people would not be able to survive the process of connecting to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers. If they could not persist until their bodies were transformed and evolved, they would be completely eroded by the Imaginary Numbers.

Only by entering Aponya's web and allowing her to maintain their mental stability while transforming everyone can they return to their original positions after the new body is created.

So, Aponia and Mebius are working together and have been working together for several months.

Mebius calls them Fusion Warriors.

Of course, this is a secret collaboration.

At least, the Fire Chaser Moth had no idea that Mebius was researching this technology.

Therefore, the dozen fusion warriors in front of us were all born through private cooperation in this way, instead of being transformed by Aponya personally as before.

In fact... it's not all smooth sailing. There are still many losers who fail to transform their bodies.

It's just that because his spirit is stored in Aponia's network, he only needs to create a body in the future.

But not now, we don’t have the time and resources.

Therefore, even if this technology to create fusion warriors appears in the eyes of Fire Chaser Moth's senior officials, they will not be able to tell what it is - they will only regard it as a monster with human appearance that is symbiotic with Honkaiju genes.

Thus treating the Fusion Warriors as tools.

Even if it hadn't happened now, Mebius would have foreseen this.

She was speechless for these ugly guys.

Therefore, this technology is the perfect disguise.

Mebius enjoyed it. She didn't like the so-called high-level people anyway. These bossy guys would one day be bitten by poisonous snakes called fusion warriors. She was looking forward to it.

.....

Of course, Sakura doesn't know it now, she just subconsciously feels something strange.

Her senses and high honkai adaptability made her notice that something was wrong.

"How about it, Miss Sakura, I'll give you a gift."

"You don't have to worry about your sister's safety in this country."

"At the same time, I also want to give you another gift. Like them, you have stronger power to protect your sister." Long walked over and smiled at her.

"Power...", Sakura whispered and repeated.
