Bad woman, join the hunt tonight

With Su's departure, Mebius was the only one left in the dim room.

Mobius had anticipated Su's anger, and it would only do harm to Mobius to have a grudge with such a promising scholar... But if this could help Su better understand the situation Li is facing now, and allow him to organize his words in a way that Li feels good when talking to him, then it would be worth it.

Now, whether it is himself, Mei, Alicia, Kevin and others, they have undoubtedly hurt Li. If they want to help her, they can only look for useful power from the outside world.

I hope this Sue can do this.

......

When Kevin arrived at the place he had agreed to meet with Sue, his best friend was standing in the deserted park, looking at the night sky and thinking about something.

"Su, long time no see."

"Well, long time no see, Kevin." Su didn't look back and continued to look at the night sky. "Kevin, you are my best friend, and I have always trusted you..."

"So, just stand still there, okay?"

Without waiting for Kevin's answer, Su turned around and punched Kevin in the face!

"Aren't you going to protect Senior Li?! What did you protect!!!"

"Be a hero?"

"Let the Herrscher go?!"

"You've harmed the entire city's residents, and yet you want Senior Li to help you take responsibility?!!"

As if venting his anger, Su used all his strength to punch Kevin in the face again and again. Even though he knew that this would not cause any harm to Kevin, a fusion warrior, and his own hands had begun to get frostbitten, he still had no intention of stopping.

And Kevin just remained silent.

He could have easily knocked Su down, but he didn't do it, nor did he stop you from hurting yourself.

It was because he could understand Su and could feel the surging sadness and anger in the other's heart.

Kevin was not surprised that Su knew the truth. After all, there was nothing his good friend could not do as long as he was willing to do it. The only question was whether he could be ruthless enough to do it.

It was not until Su's right hand was frozen and swollen and he had no strength left that he staggered back two steps and stared at Kevin.

"Since you can't protect her, let me do it from now on...Kevin, I won't let you go anymore."

"......Um."

What else can Kevin say?

Refute? Stop?

What right does a loser who can't even protect the one he loves have to say these things now!

He could only stand there and watch Su leave.

Although he got beaten up, at least the other party was willing to acknowledge him as a friend, and Kevin was very fortunate for that.

......

Wow, so exciting, so exciting, what a great harvest today!

In the room, Li looked at the huge amounts of energy that popped out one after another today, and was so excited that he silently turned over in bed.

Su was indeed extraordinary. After entering the headquarters, he directly or indirectly helped himself to obtain nearly one million energies within one day!

Not to mention the 500,000 energy points that he directly exploded. Judging from the trajectory of his actions in the map, he first faced off against Mebius, then faced off against Mei, and finally faced off against Kevin, and while he was facing them, he successfully received more than 400,000 energy points... He is simply a god of war!

Su will definitely come to see me tomorrow, most likely to start talk therapy. Since Su is working so hard, should I make his efforts seem to have some results?

Forget it, let's go find Eden to listen to music~

Volume 226: Faith Extinct in Civilization: Chapter Chapter I Can't Think of a Chapter Title

"Want to know what I usually do?"

On the street in the early morning, Li looked at Su who came early in the morning and said doubtfully: "Of course, but it might be boring."

"As long as I'm with you, senior sister, I'll never be bored no matter what!" Su said decisively.

Senior Sister Li is really strong. Even though she encountered such a thing, when she faced herself, she could still smile as if nothing had happened... But no matter how strong she looks on the surface, she is still hurt inside.

Su is not a professional psychologist, but he feels that if he wants to improve Li's condition, he must at least understand Li's current condition.

Now he only knew that Li was not as energetic as before, and she was not as positive inside...so it was obviously necessary to understand her current lifestyle.

Hearing Su's words, Li covered his mouth and chuckled: "Su, now you have also learned how to tell nice things to girls."

"No, that's not the case. I'm speaking from the heart!" Su's face turned red all the way to her ears. "I won't lie to you, Senior..."

Li did not respond to Su's words, but just smiled and said, "Okay, it just so happens that what we are going to do today is more interesting. Su, come with me."

Su knew that Li had been transferred from the frontline combat unit. Theoretically, she could have lived on the high allowance given to her by the Fire Moth and had fun every day. There was no need for her to get up so early. Su originally thought that Li might want to do morning exercises, but until he followed her to a remote gathering area outside the headquarters, he realized that his idea was completely wrong.

"Is this... a shelter?"

Soda looked around. Unlike the various tall and magnificent buildings in the headquarters, the low buildings here were of a fairly uniform style. They were obviously built to accommodate residents in the most economical and efficient way.

On the road you can see some children, old people and injured people, and they are all gathering in one direction.

"Yes, the Honkai disasters have become more and more frequent in recent years. Even if they have not been infected with Honkai disease, there are still many people whose lives have been completely destroyed in the disaster." Li sighed, "The Fire Moth has built settlements to accommodate these people. This is one of them near the headquarters."

"The disaster victims here are much better off than those I've seen before..." Looking at the residents who were dressed simply but in very good spirits, Su nodded thoughtfully, "Is it because they are near the headquarters that their treatment is better than in other places?"

"It's a pity that the top management doesn't care much about these people." Li's expression was somewhat helpless. "The reason why the situation here is better is mainly because of a kind-hearted person."

"Good Samaritan?"

Before Su could ask his doubts, he saw Li looking at the place where the residents gathered on the street, his eyes lit up slightly: "Ah, I found it."

"Good morning, Eden."

Hearing Li's voice, the woman with long wine-red hair who was surrounded by the crowd turned around and smiled softly when she saw Li: "Good morning, Li."

"...?"

Seeing this world-famous superstar in front of him, Su couldn't help but open his eyes wide in surprise - why was Eden here?

"Could the kindhearted person you mentioned be..."

"That's Eden. She has been in charge of some logistical work at Fire Moth for the past two years. So after seeing the poor conditions in the settlements of disaster victims, she paid out of her own pocket to improve the environment in many places." Li smiled and nodded, confirming Su's guess, and finally introduced Eden, "He is Su, who was recently transferred to the headquarters. He is a promising scientist and my junior... We also went to your concert together."

"Hello, Su." Eden nodded gracefully, "But the work here is not yet finished. I'm afraid we have to wait a while before we can discuss in detail."

"Are they distributing supplies?" Su looked at the people queuing up to receive supplies and wondered, "Is it not enough to ask the staff to do this? Is it necessary to do it myself?"

"On the one hand, the logistics department of Fire Moth is not good enough, and on the other hand, I always have to do something myself to feel at ease..." Eden smiled and looked at Li, "I think your senior sister should think the same way, otherwise she wouldn't have to spend time with me every week to deal with these logistical trivia."

"At least we can do something this way..." Li smiled sheepishly, "Then I'll go to work first, we'll talk later, Su."

"Wait, Senior, I'm here to help you too!"

Su hurriedly followed Li's footsteps. After all, the reason why he made this trip today was to observe what Li was doing and thinking. How could he let Li work alone while he rested on the side?

But in the process, what Li did was even more trivial than Su had imagined. Distributing supplies, inspecting public facilities, registering the status of each household in the settlement... From Su's point of view, these things were entirely the responsibility of the grassroots personnel of the Fire Moth Logistics Organization, not the responsibilities of Li, a human hero.

But... Li looked very happy.

When she was surrounded by the children and thanked by the elderly, her smile was sincere.

Su felt that he seemed to have grasped some of Li's thoughts - perhaps what she needed was not excessive protection, but an opportunity for her to continue to shine?

But why should she work so hard? Senior Li has done so much for mankind, and now is the time to rest. But Li did not stop at all. If her body did not allow her to fight against Honkai on the battlefield, she would continue to help in the logistics department...

This behavior is admirable, but when it happens to his most important senior, Su finds it difficult to be happy. It means that Li puts others and human affairs above her own.

He remembered the information he had obtained last night. After Li was injured, Mobius transferred her to the Australian branch as an instructor because Li wanted to continue doing something. However, during the incident of the Seventh Herrscher, Li completely ignored her own safety and launched an attack on the Herrscher at her own risk.

That incident caused Li to be seriously injured again and almost die, so much so that after that, Mebius and Mei never dared to transfer her to other places again.

Su somewhat understood Mei and Mebius's actions. They might understand what was most important to Li, but they believed that Li's safety was more important than Li's own wishes...

What a bunch of idiots!

Can you put your own will above that of Senior Li under the pretext of doing good for Senior Li? !

Even though he could understand what they were thinking, Su would not agree with it, because he could do a better job if he were to do it.

If they really valued Senior Sister, they should support her wishes and protect her by her side! Why can't these people do it? Because they think the things they have on their hands are more important than Senior Sister Li.

Science, truth, salvation... these words are indeed great, but Su does not need them. He is not a human leader, nor an academic master, and he has no obsession with the field of his research.

If necessary, he would throw all these things away, and it would be okay for him to stay by Li's side.

Sometimes ordinary people can make more free choices than these great people.

Volume 227: Faith Extinct in Civilization: Chapter Chapter The Eighth Collapse

Su pushed a cart loaded with supplies and followed behind Li and Eden, occasionally giving Li some gold coins.

As for the fish that had been killed by the hook, Li no longer needed to worry about it. She was happily chatting with Eden beside her.

"Is Padu not causing trouble at your place?" Li asked as he recorded the residents' conditions he had investigated. "Although she is a good child, her personality is sometimes a little too active. Don't spoil her too much."

"She does a great job. Sometimes she is even better than me at handling conflicts between residents." Eden said with a smile, "Of course I should give a small reward to such a child, but I also know my limits."

It's just a few small boxes of jewels, it can't be considered as spoiling her, right?

"You'd better have it..." Li said helplessly.

The former big star actually became a member of the Fire Moth's logistics department. Li Gang was a little surprised when she saw him, but then she became ecstatic - because she found that Eden actually had an 85% charging efficiency!

So there is no need to say much about the actions that Li needs to take. When other people's favorability has been improved and they are waiting for the gold coins to explode, she adjusted her own course of action without hesitation and began a long journey to improve favorability.

Eden is undoubtedly a gentle and kind person, as can be seen from the fact that she often held charity concerts and used all the proceeds for charity. After joining the Fire Moth, Eden did not change this. Instead, she used her money to start doing things for the victims in the logistics resettlement department, which was tragically incorruptible.

Compared to sitting in the office all day looking at various data and papers, Eden obviously prefers to talk to people face to face and help them. So in order to get closer to Eden, Li decisively started his own volunteer journey - after all, now that becoming stronger is still a long way off, it is in line with his personality to want to make more contributions to mankind, right?

So, relying on frequent encounters and invincible charm, Li successfully got close to Eden. But unfortunately, this natural method was too slow to warm up. Now, more than half a year has passed, and Eden's favorability has barely reached level six.

After all, Eden's life was a little too perfect, happy, talented, and there was nothing that could take advantage of him. If there was no big event like the one Su encountered back then to help, I'm afraid it would have to rely on time to slowly grind...

At this time, the conversation between Li and Eden also attracted Su's attention. After hearing a familiar name, he couldn't help but ask, "Pado? Is it the little Pado that you met in Dusk Street?"

At that time, Li often sent messages to him, and sometimes sent him some photos of the Dusk Street Sanatorium. Su still remembered that the photos sent to Padu were of a mischievous child like a kitten.

"I remember there are Aponia and Qianjie as well. Are they also here at the Fire Moth now?"

"......Yes, they are here now too." As if there was nothing unusual, Li smiled and nodded.

But the loneliness and sadness in her eyes at that moment did not escape Su's eyes, who was always paying attention to Li's expression changes.

Did something happen to Qianjie and Aponya? Although Su didn't show it on his face, he had made up his mind that he would investigate the matter thoroughly after he returned.

By the time the sun had set slightly, Li and Eden had finally finished collecting information on all the people in the gathering area, but the result made them frown.

"The number of people suffering from sleeping sickness has increased again..." Eden looked at the data he had collected with a worried look on his face, "It has increased by 70% compared to last month."

"There's no other way. After all, we can't ban everyone from using the Internet." Li sighed helplessly, "There should be two million cases worldwide now, right?"

Honkai disease is a symptom that has suddenly become popular in the world in the past two months. Some people will suddenly fall into a coma and even die while browsing the Internet.

"It had already exceeded this number before I came to the headquarters." Su shook his head silently. "The recent research topic of the Fifth Science Department where I work is sleeping sickness. Based on the observation of brain waves, we can now confirm that all these patients are dreaming, and it is very likely that they are dreaming the same dream."

"Dream?" Eden asked in confusion.

"The cause of sleeping sickness is similar to a memetic contamination. Once you see certain words on the Internet, you will immediately fall into a deep sleep." Su explained: "Currently, there is no way to determine which words are contaminated because they change at a very high speed every day."

"It sounds even more difficult than the Herrscher..." Eden's expression was a little bitter, "At least the Herrscher can be seen and touched."

"Who knows? After all, things like Honkai can always be worse than we imagine." Li sighed and looked at Su, "Is there any solution now?"

Looking at Li's hopeful eyes, Su wanted to tell her "Of course!"

Unfortunately, the world is not that beautiful, and things that cannot be done cannot be done.

"There are only temporary isolation measures now..."

After these words were spoken, the three of them fell silent. After all, the people present were not as morally vacuum as those in the headquarters.

After a long while, Li forced a smile and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Doesn't Li have to perform for everyone here today? In times of hardship, the light that blooms from art and singing can give people more hope."

"Well, Li, you are right..." Eden took a deep breath, "Then I will go first--"

At this moment, urgent alarms from communicators suddenly sounded in the pockets of the three people.

The atmosphere that had just softened suddenly fell to the bottom again, because everyone present was very familiar with this voice - this was the alarm that the Fire Moth sent to the entire organization when the Herrscher appeared!

"Sleeping sickness is confirmed to be... the eighth collapse?!" They hurriedly took out the communicator, and the content inside made everyone's face change drastically.
