However, when she reached the door, Mei's voice came from behind her again.

"Li, I know you always want to do a lot of things, but sometimes we need to recognize our own strength and matching responsibilities. In the past, you could bring Qianjie into the headquarters because you had the ability to deal with accidents of his level... but now the situation is different."

"You have done a lot for mankind. You can have a good rest in the days ahead. You can also consider your own situation carefully before doing anything."

Don't try to take risks alone like you did when you were the Seventh Herrscher, and end up seriously injured and on the verge of death... Mei seldom expresses her feelings, but that doesn't mean she doesn't feel distressed.

Hearing Mei's words, Li's body paused for a moment, and then he immediately left the room without saying a word.

……

Mei's actions were exactly as she had expected. Not only did she reject the request, but she also threw her self-esteem to the ground and stepped on it twice.

I can only say that Mei has no place to be evaluated in terms of IQ, and in terms of EQ, from another perspective, there is nothing to be evaluated...

So after a series of failures, knowing that the sanatorium where he used to stay had been completely massacred and even Qianjie and Aponia were the only ones left who couldn't save him, how should he face Padofelice who had placed all her hopes on him?

How could Li, who was once omnipotent in Paddo's eyes, tell this little cat who adored her that she couldn't even do such a simple thing?

Would she believe it, would she think that I was unwilling to help her? Or would she be disappointed because she found out that Sister Li, who said she would protect her, was actually useless?

In the end, Li just sat on the bench, looking at the ground without saying a word, as if he was thinking.

People came and went, everyone hurried past Li, but no one stopped. Li sat here with no one paying attention to him, as if he was abandoned by the world.

The heroes of the past are no longer in demand - what a classic script!

Although he was smiling in his heart, Li looked as if he had made a huge decision and took out his cell phone from his arms.

If you can't do it yourself, then you can only seek help from others, right?

It's not a good idea to go to Kevin again after what happened to him before, and Vivi usually doesn't care about such things...The only thing left is to ask Mebius for help or go to Alicia.

"It's been a long time since I contacted you, Doctor..."

Ever since Kevin underwent surgery to become a fusion warrior, Li and Mebius haven't seen each other for a long time. They used to call or video chat frequently, but recently, they have only been communicating through text messages at most.

"Should I ask Alicia for help?"

Volume 221: Faith Extinguished in Civilization: Chapter Chapter Fusion Warrior Bullying? !

After a very difficult struggle, Li finally contacted Alicia. If she remembered correctly, this pink-haired DD happened to be at the headquarters in the past few days.

[Li: Ai Lixia, can we meet? Yanxi transfer group ①: 837783853

[Ailixia: Okay, I'll be there soon. Don't be scared when you see me later~ Yanxi transfer group ①: 837783853

Wow, she replied immediately. She is indeed Alicia.

Putting his phone back in his pocket, Li stood up and walked towards the place where they usually met.

However, Alicia's reply and Mobius's recent unwillingness to chat with him via video chat gave Li a bad feeling - would these guys be secretly forming a small group behind his back? For example, the Fusion Warrior Club or something like that...

......

It really is.

"How about it, Li, aren't you pretty?" Alicia came close to Li, smiling and showing off the two eye-catching pointed ears between her hair, "Don't you look like a fairy in a fairy tale~"

"...What is this?" The obviously inhuman features did not make Li show fear or joy. Looking at Alicia's ears, there was only a dull look on his face.

"Well, maybe God thought I was too cute, so he gave me a prize. After the surgery, I got an extra ear~"

"Fusion Warrior Surgery..." Li muttered in a trance.

How come you also became a fusion warrior? !

Then, could it be that the reason why Mebius hasn't contacted me during this period is because she had surgery and her body has developed abnormalities, so she doesn't dare to let me see it?

How come you guys became fusion warriors without telling me... Will Vilvikos and even Thousand Tribulations Aponia also become fusion warriors in the future?

Am I the only one who isn't a fusion fighter?

Li felt that she was severely isolated and bullied, so she decided to be a petty person and retaliate severely.

"Isn't that operation very dangerous? After so many attempts, Kevin is the only one who succeeded..." Li stared at Alicia with a stiff look in his eyes, "Why did you want to...?"

Alicia wanted to make some jokes to fool the matter, but seeing Li's eyes, she told the truth after a short silence: "...Because there are too many failures, Li. The Seventh Herrscher has dealt a heavy blow to humanity. Finally, there is a way to counter it, the Fusion Warrior, but after Kevin, no one has succeeded...People need hope."

"Don't worry, Li, you see I'm fine! The surgery didn't have any side effects on me, except that I have a pair of ears that make me look cuter--"

"Where's the doctor?" Li interrupted Alysia abruptly, "She has been avoiding me for some time. Did she also undergo surgery?"

"No, everything was normal when she performed the operation on me, hahaha... Hey, Li, where are you going?"

Without replying to Alicia, Li gritted his teeth, turned around without saying a word, and walked quickly towards the direction of Mobius Laboratory.

On the way, Alicia tried very hard to change the topic and Li's attention, but unfortunately she failed in the end.

The Mobius Laboratory was not on guard against Li, so when she pushed open the door of the laboratory, Mobius was still looking at the data on the screen and preparing to inject himself with some kind of drug.

Li rushed in aggressively, scaring Mebius. He subconsciously wanted to hide what was in his hand: "Li?! Why are you here......"

"I've tried my best..." Following behind Li, Alicia looked helpless. She couldn't just carry Li away, could she? Even if she did, it would be useless. Li would definitely come back to find Mebius later. Li couldn't fail to notice how much the doctor had changed.

"Doctor..." Li walked quickly to Mebius' side, his eyes scanning his body, and then his face gradually turned pale, "You have become smaller."

"Knowledge makes people younger and younger—"

"I'm not kidding you!!"

[Energy +18000 Yanxi transfer ① group: 837783853

[Energy +10000 Yanxi transfer ① group: 837783853

Li's angry voice startled both Mebius and Alicia. After knowing each other for so many years, it was the first time they saw Li angry.

"You performed surgery on yourself, didn't you?!"

After a long silence, Mebius spoke helplessly: "...If you don't even dare to do it yourself, how can you use this thing to convince others?"

"Then why did it get smaller?"

Mobius was speechless for a moment, but Li did not give her any time to react. She walked directly to the place where Mobius usually recorded the experimental log. She knew Mobius' habits very well.

"..."

Looking at the detailed log, Li's expression changed from anger to shock, then to sadness, and finally to silence.

"Immortality. Resurrection after death, but the body will degenerate to a younger age..." Li's eyes slowly shifted to Mebius beside him. She now looked a dozen years younger than the last time they met. "How many times have you experimented on yourself?"

".....Lei, all of this is necessary for research." Mobius looked away, "Whether it's to fight the Honkai or to pursue the infinity I desire...you should understand me."

"Yes, of course I understand you, Doctor..." Looking at Mobius, Li finally said nothing more.

She just put down the experimental log silently: "I just don't agree, and I don't want to see you hurt yourself - but I can't change anything, right?"

"I can't change anything now..."

"...Alicea, the Fire Moth has recently detained two people. One is Qianjie, the doctor should still remember him, and the other is Aponia. I would like to ask you to try to bring them out, or to join the Fire Moth... I think you will definitely like them."

"Li..."

Watching Li walk out, Alicia and Mebius felt as if they had done something wrong... as if something had been changed and could never go back to its original place.

But how could they be wrong?

If you want to protect humanity and Li, becoming stronger is a must, and taking some risks for this is something that is difficult to avoid... But now their operations have been successful, why should Li be so angry?

Volume 222: Faith is extinguished in civilization: Chapter Chapter I want to become the king of pressure resistance!

Li, who had already walked out of the laboratory, felt completely different from Alicia and Mobius - the plan was a great success!

Not only was he devastated to find that he could do nothing, but he also discovered that the people he once protected and valued now had to undergo surgeries with an extremely high mortality rate in exchange for becoming stronger... How big of a blow would this be to Li, who wanted to become a savior and help others take on those dangers?

The former hero is now a nobody—no, even a loser who has to risk his friends’ lives to become stronger in order to protect him!

When she watched her friend hurt herself, she didn't even have the strength to stop her...

"Power..." Li lowered his head, as if trying to control his emotions, but his lips were still bitten unconsciously: "Without power, nothing can be changed...!"

Li felt that her acting skills had reached perfection. If nothing else, at least the consciousness that came from Honkai had obviously been fooled by her.

"Dear, do you want some power? Click on the Herrscher Post and you'll get it for free. With this power, you can kill all those insects and protect everyone you want to protect~"

The inexplicable feeling of dizziness made Li subconsciously lean against the wall to cover his head, and the consciousness from unknown source once again began to pull people in.

Just like last time, although the lines are not exactly like this, the general meaning is the same.

How come this Honkai consciousness is like a sales pitch, and it’s also personalized. The lines for this recruitment are much more targeted than before...

So should I accept the offer from Honkai this time? According to the perspective that the strength of the Herrscher is upgraded every time, my strength as a Herrscher this time should be stronger than that of the Herrscher of Flame. The order should be… the Herrscher of Consciousness? The one who was made into Yu Duchen.

The Herrscher of Knowledge is pretty good, at least he has his own way of saving his life and escaping. After all, Fu Hua can do so many sit-ups, and Yu Duchen also has a great contribution. And from the perspective of the main body, the spiritual ability of the Herrscher of Knowledge is also very convenient... especially when the "old friends" from other worlds may bump into Blue Star.

So, do you want to accept this offer?

As if thinking that Li had acquiesced, the surrounding Honkai energy began to become restlessly active, and even seemed to be gathering towards Li. However, the next second...

"--roll."

The sound seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth. Li used all his strength to dispel the Houkai energy that was about to wrap around his body.

“Power… I will get it myself!” Perhaps because of his fragile consciousness, it was much more difficult to get rid of the influence of Honkai’s will than last time. However, although he was sweating profusely, Li’s eyes were more fierce than before, “Damn Honkai…!”

The Honkai consciousness did not respond, but simply retreated silently once again, leaving only Li who was breathing heavily.

But how long had it been since the Seventh Herrscher was born? How could they start looking for someone for the Eighth Herrscher so soon? Was it because of my hesitation that the Herrscher was born, or was it brought forward for my own sake?

No matter which one it is, it doesn't affect Li's choice.

Transforming into the eighth Herrscher now sounds great, but who knows if there are any pitfalls with the power obtained from Honkai? What if they kill my consciousness directly and replace it with mine, and I die before I am judged to be a Herrscher, and the Herrscher Core of Consciousness does not belong to me, then I will lose a lot.

It's better to be safe and wait for the Herrscher to die before installing it yourself.

Moreover, Li is now at the headquarters of the Fire Moth, where the world's most advanced scientists, including Mei, Mebius and Velvet, are all here. Once she becomes law here, the accompanying Honkai outbreak may kill most of the hope of mankind in one wave... By then, I am afraid I will become the MVP of the Honkai side.

There is another problem. Although Li is now more resistant to pressure, his character is a pure humanist after all, and he is extremely hostile to Honkai. It is understandable that he is obsessed with power, but if he joins Honkai directly for this reason... Li is worried that he will look a bit like a clown in the outside world.

He just became weak and then withstood the pressure for two years. If he suddenly exploded into a Herrscher, he would be too fragile - in order to prevent players from thinking that way, he should at least become the king of pressure resistance before exploding.

Although the forums are still full of discussions on how to play the game all day long and not many people are researching the plot, Li still feels that he should pay attention and try to get some energy from the players in order to be more cost-effective.

"...Go back."

Li stood leaning against the wall for a long time, finally sighed softly, and walked towards home.

......

Standing in front of his door, Li hesitated and didn't dare to turn the handle.

Once she entered here, she would have to face Padufils, tell her that Qianjie and Aponiya would still be locked up and might even be killed, and explain to her that she was no longer the same Sister Li and was unable to help her.

But people have to face reality after all, no matter how hard it is to face. After standing in front of the door for a long time, Li finally opened the door.

"Sister Li! How are Brother Jie and Sister Nia?!"

The kitten with keen hearing ran to Li quickly the moment the door opened. Looking at Padua Felice with hope in her eyes, Li felt even more embarrassed and uneasy.

"Sister Li..." Looking at the silent Li, the smile on Padufils's face gradually disappeared. "What happened?"

"…I'm sorry, Paddo."

After a long time, Li, with his head down, uttered an apology in an almost imperceptible voice.

After a short silence, Padufils laughed again. She hugged Li nonchalantly and said cheerfully, "What is there to apologize for, Sister Li? Good things take time. How can it be so easy to succeed? When I went to steal things from the warehouses of those big bosses, I had to step carefully before I started. It was impossible for me to succeed in one go!"

"Even I know that the bigger the organization, the more troublesome it is to get things done. The base of this organization is even bigger than Dusk Street, so it must be extremely troublesome to get things done. It's normal that you can't rescue Brother Jie and Sister Nia so easily, Sister Li~"

Padufils did not blame Li for not doing anything, but comforted Li very attentively. Although she did not know what happened, Padufils could see that Li was very sad now. It must be that the thing she asked her to do caused Li to encounter bad things, and now she really needed comfort.

Padua Felice was smart and gentle, but this gentleness made Li feel even more devastated.

Not only did I fail to help Padu, I even had to let this child, who was so much younger than me, understand my feelings and comfort me...

Li silently hugged Padufils tightly in her arms. Where the other party couldn't see, weak tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes for the first time.

"I'm sorry, Padu....I'm sorry..."

"Don't worry, Sister Li, let me take care of this matter!" Padua, who was held in Li's arms, could not see the tears on Li's face, and patted Li's back with a smile.
