On the occasion of collapse

"Yeah." Walking back to the recruits' team step by step, Fuling looked at the recruits who had the same ugly expressions, as if she knew something.

"Now get on the transport plane. We are going to return to the headquarters. We will leave the rest to the branch." Kevin led the seventh team towards the transport plane without any hesitation.

The second team followed closely behind. Looking at the new recruits, most of them turned back to look at the temporary base of the sub-base again.

Poria was among them, but what she was looking at was the tent with the red cross on it.

However, she saw Yilan wearing combat uniform walking out of the tent.

After a brief moment of shock, Fuling saw Yilan holding the necklace he had given her, Tia's relic.

That's it.

Please, be careful.

..........

On the transport plane, Poria sat in the corner, staring blankly at the clouds passing by the window.

"I saw blood and dead people." I don't know who spoke first, but the sound of the originally quiet transport plane seemed a bit abrupt.

"I saw it too."

"Also, they killed some people who were still alive. Even children." Someone said this, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

"If we don't kill them, they will become dead soldiers." Another person said, and he also saw it.

"At least, let them die as humans. That's what they say."

The transport plane returned to silence again, and after a long time, someone's angry voice sounded.

"Damn Honkai!"

"Yeah, damn Honkai!" Poria whispered as she looked at the clouds outside the window.

It would be great if it didn't collapse.

..........

Back at the Fire Chasing Moth base, Fuling looked at the tip of the spear placed in front of her, as if it was still stained with the blood of the woman named Tia.

Pressing her heart, Fu Ling could feel it beating violently.

Defeating Honkai, this idea arose in her mind for the first time.

For myself, for Alicia, for everyone, for humanity.

Defeating Honkai is the meaning of the existence of the Fire Chaser Moth, and this is the meaning of the fight of the Fire Chaser Moth warriors.

Also, she successfully got the thing out of her body, a blue core.

........

"Alicia, wait a minute." Finding Alicia who had just come out of the meeting, Fu Ling stood in front of her and stopped her.

"What's wrong? Xiaoling?" Alicia looked at Poria Cocos in front of her. She didn't know what she was going to do, but her nervous look was quite cute.

"Alicia, do you believe me?" Fu Ling looked at Alicia, she was very nervous now.

"Of course I believe it." Alicia looked at the strange Poria and felt that this mission had hit her too hard.

"Xiaoling, what's wrong with you? It's because..."

"No." Fu Ling interrupted Alicia mid-sentence.

Taking a deep breath, Fu Ling stuffed the core tightly wrapped in a bag into Alicia's arms, turned around and ran away without saying a word.

"This is what the Honkai Beast left behind that day! Alicia, I'm going back first!"

As Fu Ling ran away, Alicia stood there blankly, completely confused.

She looked at the tightly wrapped bag in her arms and opened a corner curiously.

The moment she saw the items in the bag clearly, Alicia's expression turned serious.

She closed the bag and took out the communicator with one free hand.

"Mei, the core of the Fifth Herrscher has been found."

Chapter 64 She is a human being too, a person of flesh and blood.

In Mei's laboratory, everyone who rushed over after receiving the news fell into silence as they looked at the Herrscher core that Mei had placed in the container.

"Alicia, have you seen what the person who sent the core looks like?" Mei turned her head and looked at Alicia, who had been smiling since just now.

"No, when I got there, there was only the wrapped core." Alicia tilted her head and answered Mei's question.

"Is that so?" Mei nodded, not sure whether she believed Alicia's words.

"Mei, is there something wrong with this core?" Kevin looked at Mei's appearance and couldn't help but ask.

"There is nothing wrong with the core itself." Mebius spoke on the side. She was more professional than Mei when it came to Honkai Impact research.

"There is no problem in itself? Does that mean there are problems in other places?" Spacy caught the meaning of Mebius' words and asked.

"Yes, there is no problem with the core itself. The problem is its energy flow." Mebius nodded and moved his chin in the direction of the core.

"The core of the Herrscher contains a large amount of Honkai energy and the power of the Herrscher. Usually the core will release the Honkai energy and the Herrscher's power after the death of the Herrscher for more than about three days. This energy release will continue About a month ago, according to observation, this is the Herrscher core looking for a new...Herrscher." At this point, Mebius frowned.

"We have tried many methods, but there is no way to prevent the core from releasing energy without destroying the core of Herrscher. We can only isolate it."

"But this Herrscher core is very strange. After the Herrscher core has released its energy, there will be obvious energy weakness, but this core does not have this situation." After Mebius finished speaking, he stopped talking.

"In other words, is there something that has been nourishing or restricting this Herrscher core?" Spacy touched the beard on his chin, as if he had thought of something.

"You can say that." Mebius nodded, agreeing with Spacey's point of view.

Alicia was listening to the conversation between the two doctors. Although the smile on her face did not change, the panic in her eyes betrayed her in an instant.

At this moment, Mebius, who was paying attention to Alicia, happened to see it.

Mebius saw the panic in Alicia's eyes and confirmed that Alicia was lying before.

"Then that thing that nourishes and restricts the core, is it possible that it is the new Herrscher?" Kevin, who had been silent for a while, asked.

This question made Alicia's heart tremble, and she could not help but think of a terrible possibility in her heart.

"Impossible." Before anyone else could express their conjecture, Mebius rejected the conjecture.

"The core will only fall off after the Herrscher dies. In other words, the Herrscher will die if he leaves the core." Mebius looked at Kevin and rejected his conjecture with great certainty.

"Dr. Mebius is right. There is no such possibility. If it is really the Herrscher, then it is impossible for the Fire Chaser Moth not to have discovered the energy fluctuations of the Herrscher." Spacy nodded and agreed with Mebius Us's words.

"I personally think that thing is more likely to be a Honkai Beast." After Sipaci finished speaking, he raised his hand and scratched his head.

"Well, it's possible that my guess is wrong."

"I agree with Dr. Spacey's view. I personally think this conjecture is more likely to be true." Mei, who had been silent, spoke up.

"The energy fluctuations in the core are intact, without any trace of leakage. Human beings have no way to do this. This is undeniable. However, it is impossible for the core to find a new Herrscher. First of all, the emergence of the Herrscher will inevitably cause a huge disaster. Widespread destruction, triggering a major collapse.

But neither of these two points appeared, nor did the Herrscher's energy fluctuations appear. "Mei continued, walked to the device where the core was placed, opened the device and took out the core.

"Look, this core is too stable. It's as if the Fifth Herrscher was eliminated just yesterday." Without wearing any protective measures, Mei, who is not a Honkai adaptor, can pick up the core with her bare hands without being affected by it. any erosion.

"But the Fifth Herrscher was eliminated a year and a half ago." Kevin frowned, finally realizing the point of the problem.

"Yes, the problem arises here. The Fifth Herrscher has been dead for a year and a half." Mei put the core back into the device and faced everyone.

"But this core that has been away from Herrscher for a year and a half is even more stable than the core that Herrscher just died."

Mei turned her head and looked at Alicia.

"Alicia, did you really not see who sent the core? If we can find this person, maybe we will make a big step forward in the research on the Herrscher core." Mei looked at it seriously. Alicia, it was obvious that she really wanted Alicia to know who that person was.

"Mei, I can tell you clearly, I didn't see who that person was." Alicia put away the smile on her face and looked directly into Mei's eyes.

"Okay, I understand." Unexpectedly, Mei just asked and took the matter over.

"I will continue to study this over-stable core. If anything is discovered, Dr. Mebius and Dr. Spacey, please come and assist me at that time." Mei looked at Mebius and Spacey. Said slowly.

"it is good."

............

Walking in the corridor of Fire Chaser, Alicia had the usual smile on her face, but this time, it was fake.

She squinted her eyes slightly, because she couldn't 100% guarantee that the emotions in her eyes would not be seen.

Just now, when Mei asked her those words, she almost couldn't hold it in anymore.

Walking to a deserted corner, after confirming that there was no surveillance here, the smile on Alicia's face finally collapsed.

She leaned against the wall, staring blankly at the mark of the Fire Chaser Moth in front of her.

On one side is her Xiaoling, her family.

On one side is the future of mankind and the progress of mankind.

As long as she tells Mei that this core was given to her by Poria, then maybe humans can find a way to 100% suppress the core.

But what if Xiaoling just picked up the core by chance?

She knew she was lying to herself. That emperor-level Honkai Beast happened a month and a half ago.

The core will emit energy if it is away from the Herrscher for more than three days.

But for one and a half months in Poria's hands, there was no movement in the core.

She didn't dare to bet. If she told Xiaoling, what would Xiaoling experience?What will happen to her?

Become a tool for the fire-chasing moth?Or, be dissected and sent to the test stand?

Let her be selfish for once...

She has done enough for the Fire Moth. She is also a human being, a person of flesh and blood.

Chapter 65 I won’t let you go, no matter what

Leaning against the wall, Alicia stared blankly at the mark of the Fire Chasing Moth in front of her, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Alicia." The light green-haired woman in a lab coat walked up to Alicia, put her hands in the pockets of the lab coat, and leaned against the wall with her to look at the Fire Chaser's mark.

"Ah, it's Mebius, why do you always see me in such a mess?" Alicia could guess who the visitor was without even turning her head.

Mebius at this stage

She knew that Mebius had definitely noticed it just now, so she never thought of pretending in front of her.

"Because you really can't lie. Whenever you have something on your mind, you always like to find a place where no one is around to hang out." Mebius turned to look at Alicia and said slowly.

"Mebius, others say I'm full of lies. Why do you say that I can't lie alone?" Alicia smiled, but it was a bit ugly.

"Although you always look dishonest and talk about some weird things all day long. But, Alicia, have you noticed that almost everything you say is the truth? Just because of your deliberately annoying tone, others subconsciously think that what you are telling lies."

Mebius stopped here.

"It's precisely because of this that you are annoying, Alicia." Mebius held his chest with both hands and looked at Alicia.

Alicia didn't speak, she just looked at the Fire Chaser Moth logo in front of her in a daze.

Seeing Alicia like this, Mebius sighed and turned his head to look at the sign with her.

"The one who gave you the core was Xiaoling, right?" Mebius said calmly. Just these words made Alicia's heartbeat slow down by half a beat.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Alicia's body visibly trembling, and Mebius confirmed his suspicion.

"Looks like I guessed right."

Alicia took a deep breath and finally looked away from the sign.

"Yes, it's Xiaoling, and what next? Tell Mei? Or expose me to the higher-ups?" Alicia looked at Mebius, a dangerous light flashing in her eyes.

Looking at Alicia on the verge of riot, Mebius fell silent.

"How is Xiaoling now? I remember that you will let them see those things when you go on the mission this time, right?" Suddenly, Mebius talked about other things.

Alicia was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized that this was Mebius reminding her that someone was coming.

"Ah, yes, Xiaoling was frightened this time." Alicia adjusted her facial expression and answered in a normal tone.

"Really? It seems that Xiaoling has also experienced something." Mebius looked at Alicia who had adjusted his condition in front of him, and he also talked to Alicia at random. It was as if they were just chatting normally.

"Well, this time, Xiaoling also personally killed a Fire Chasing Moth branch soldier who was about to become a dead soldier. He has been depressed for a long time." After stabilizing her mood, Alicia also felt that she was stopping at the corner. people.
