Bad woman, join the hunt tonight

"The Eighth Herrscher's ability is a memetic weapon that can cause people who see words contaminated by her to fall into a dream controlled by her..."

Many of the contents displayed on the communicator were replaced by words that were rarely used in normal times. Apparently, these words had become the weapons of the Herrscher.

"It looks like I can only perform for everyone next time." Li silently turned off the communicator, "Let's go."

Eighth Herrscher, you are finally here. So... let's start the plan to become stronger!

At this moment, Su saw the determination in Li's eyes.

Senior sister, what do you want to do?

Volume 228: Faith Extinguished by Civilization: Chapter Chapter : The Time for Withstanding Pressure Has Come

The speed of the Eighth Herrscher is faster than anyone imagined.

Less than three days after Mei announced that sleeping sickness was the eighth Honkai, the Eighth Herrscher launched an attack on the Fire Moth. After she located the key words targeting the Fire Moth, in just a moment, all the personnel in the organization who had not undergone psychological training fell into a coma.

The administrative department, the logistics department, and most of the scientific research departments were all paralyzed. This global anti-Honkai Impact 3 organization lost 80% of its ability to act almost instantly.

Fortunately, Mei had made arrangements in advance. The Fifth Science Department to which Su belonged quickly distributed the previously developed consciousness shackles to all members who had not yet fallen asleep. The drugs could cause targeted cognitive impairment, allowing the user to subconsciously filter out the contaminated keywords to maintain their ability to act normally.

But unfortunately, this drug has its limits. As the number of keywords contaminated by the Eighth Herrscher increases, it will eventually become ineffective. Therefore, humans must find the Eighth Herrscher and kill her before they are completely destroyed.

But this operation is too difficult. If you want to track down the Eighth Herrscher through the Internet, you must come into contact with the words that have been contaminated by her. Once you come into contact with these words, you will fall into a coma and enter a dream controlled by the Herrscher.

Therefore, there is only one other approach available to humans - to have people use the observation hub developed by the Fifth Department of Science to unlock the shackles of consciousness, and then actively enter the dream created by the Herrscher of Consciousness to look for the other party's traces.

This is a very stupid method. Allowing human consciousness to enter the dream created by the Ruler who can control consciousness is like a moth flying into a flame...but this is also the only way. As long as there are enough moths flying into the flame, there will always be one that can extinguish the candle.

It is meaningless to let ordinary people carry out this task. Their consciousness is too fragile and they will be defeated by the Herrscher of Consciousness the moment they unlock their consciousness shackles. The only candidates who can meet the requirements of such a task are fusion warriors, and the number of fusion warriors in the Fire Moth is obviously not enough.

Then, there is only one choice.

"All qualified people must undergo surgery..." Looking at the fully armed soldiers at the door, Li subconsciously protected the trembling Padufils behind him, "But... Padu is still a child!"

"I'm sorry, Miss Li, but this is an order from above." The soldier's voice was full of apology. "If possible, I would also like to replace such a child, but I am not qualified to do so."

"Padochillis, you are a member of the Fire Moth, and this is the mission you must perform."

"I don't agree. This is too much anyway..." Li gritted his teeth, "Wait a moment, I have to go see Mei!"

After hearing what Li said, the soldiers hesitated for a moment, but finally made way. One of the soldiers said reluctantly, "Ms. Li, you have always been our idol. If you want to do this, we can wait for you. But I think it will be useless to go to Dr. Mei, because this plan was proposed by Dr. Mei."

"Even so, I have to go! Even if I have to kneel down and beg her..."

Padu, who was hiding behind Li, clearly saw the other's lips that were bitten and bleeding, and her always sensitive ears also heard the almost desperate murmur at this moment.

"At least, let Pado..."

Padua Felice is not stupid. More than half a year has passed and she has lived with Li most of the time. How could she not know the other person's current situation?

She understood that the Sister Li who could collapse a building with one punch was no longer there - but so what? Even if she became weaker, Sister Li was still your Sister Li, who would always protect her and try her best to prevent her from thinking about those annoying things.

Because Sister Li is not as strong as before, and her position in the organization is not as high as before, Sister Li recommended herself to Sister Yidian. Sister Yidian is a good person, very rich, and everyone admires her. Following her, I have never been troubled, and I often receive very expensive gems!

But she still likes Sister Li more.

She knew nothing when she saw Sister Li again that day, so she asked Sister Li to save Brother Jie and Sister Nia... She knew it was impossible to do it, but she still asked others for help because of her own request.

Even Padre Felice knew that it was a terrible feeling to ask others for help but be rejected. Sister Li was also a kind-hearted person and would be hurt. She was obviously very sad when she came back.

I said at that time that I would protect her in the future...did I do it?

Padua Felice recalled her life over the past six months and found that she was still being taken care of by Li.

Just like now when she encountered danger, her first reaction was to hide behind Li, even though this matter had nothing to do with her at all.

What should I do? Should I continue to hide behind Sister Li? Should I let Sister Li put aside her dignity and beg that person named Mei once again, and then be rejected? Should I let Sister Li watch me being taken away crying and being unable to do anything, and then be sad?

Looking at the desperate look on Li's face in front of her, Padufils made up her mind.

"Sister Li, I actually want to go too."

"......well?"

Li turned around blankly, looking at Padufils behind him with puzzled eyes: "What are you talking about, Padu... That's a fusion warrior operation, and the mortality rate is over 90%!"

"It's okay, Sister Li. Have you forgotten that I've always had good luck?" Padufils straightened her body and said proudly, "The bullet didn't kill me, so a small operation will definitely be no problem for me~"

"Once I become a fusion warrior, no one will be able to bully me anymore. I've always wanted to do this surgery!"

"...You're lying." Li stared at Padua with eyes that were now covered with a layer of crystal. She couldn't help but said excitedly: "You were scared to death just now, Padua!"

Sister Li was sad.

Seeing Li almost crying, Padufils began to waver.

She didn't want to have any surgery, nor did she want to make Li sad... But if the result of the surgery was inevitable, at least it would make Sister Li feel better if she appeared to be voluntary, right?

And if I really become a fusion warrior, maybe I can protect Sister Li.

"Okay, Sister Li, let me make the decision on this matter~" Although she was scared to death, Padufils still walked in front of Li with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon!"

When Padufils was about to follow the soldiers to leave, she felt someone grab her hand from behind. She paused for a moment, but Padufils still firmly pulled her hand out and left silently.

Only Li was left standing with his head down in the empty corridor.

I remember that Su also sent a suicide note yesterday. It's very likely that he went for surgery...

OK, that’s it, now we’ve managed to withstand enough pressure!

Although his heart was beating like a drum, Li raised his head with only calmness in his eyes.

Man-made Law Maker, here I come~

What, do you think she's worried about the safety of Padu and Sue?

Please, take a look at their charging efficiency. Is it possible that such an important person would die on the way to get the plug-in?

Instead of worrying about them, she might as well worry about whether she has researched the artificial Herrscher technology that she mentioned to Vivi before...

ps.Haha, you never expected that there would be one more update~ Yanxi transfer group ①: 837783853

Volume 229: Faith Extinguishes in Civilization: Chapter Chapter Dream

The Eighth Herrscher attacks humans at the level of consciousness, but this does not mean that humans can give up their defenses in reality.

The opponent's true body is also in reality. Once all the fusion warriors use the Observation Hub to enter the dream, if the Eighth Herrscher launches an attack in reality, humans will be unable to fight back.

Therefore, now that most of the fusion warriors have entered their dreams, Kevin is still patrolling the headquarters, guarding against unexpected events.

What made him feel fortunate was that Li was not affected by the attack of the Eighth Herrscher. Perhaps it was because although she had lost her power, her will was still firm.

But Li is just an ordinary person after all, and it is impossible for him to hold on for too long. And now the number of remaining members of the Fire Moth is constantly decreasing... We can only pray that Su and the others can find the Herrscher as soon as possible.

When will the destruction in this world disappear?

Kevin sighed imperceptibly, and then continued—

"Kevin, what are you daydreaming about?"

"......Li?" Suddenly turning around, Kevin found that the person standing behind him was the Li he was worried about just now.

At this time, Li's face was full of smiles, and he said happily: "What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and leave."

"Leave?" Kevin asked doubtfully, "Where to?"

"Of course we are going to celebrate with Su and the others! Didn't you read the message on the communicator? The Eighth Herrscher has been found and destroyed by Su!"

"?!"

The news from Li's mouth was so shocking that Kevin took out the communicator from his pocket in disbelief. At this time, the message sent by Mei finally arrived. The content on it was that the Eighth Herrscher had been defeated and the collapse was over.

"So fast......?"

"Don't you have confidence in your good friend's ability?" Li walked briskly to Kevin and waved at him, motioning him to follow. "Come on, Kevin. The doctor is very happy today and said he has good news to tell you~"

"Good news?" Although Kevin was a little confused, he subconsciously followed Li when he saw her excited figure.

How long has it been since I saw Li so happy?

but……

When Kevin followed Li to the command room, everyone was cheering, but Mei, who had a sullen face all day, also had a smile on her face at this moment.

"The Eighth Herrscher has been defeated, and according to Prometheus' calculations, the Eighth Herrscher is the last one! I declare that humanity has defeated the Honkai!!"

The already excited atmosphere became even more enthusiastic at this moment, some people hugged each other excitedly, and some people cried with joy. In this cheering atmosphere, the silent Kevin seemed a little out of place.

"What's wrong Kevin? Are you unhappy?" Li, who was standing beside Kevin, asked with concern, "Or do you feel uncomfortable?"

"No, I just..."

"I think this kid is just worried that Su's performance this time is too good and he will steal your heart away, and then he will have no chance." Mobius rarely appeared in such a crowded occasion, but his words were still harsh.

"What are you talking about, Doctor!" Li's cheeks suddenly flushed. She glanced at Kevin and shyly covered Mobius' mouth.

"Okay, Li, I know you like this guy." Mobius struggled to pry Li's hand away, took out a potion from the pocket of his white coat and shook it, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't make this kind of thing for him... Look Kevin, this is a potion that can cure the side effects of your fusion warrior surgery. After injecting this, your body temperature will return to the normal human range, and you can also contact Li."

"Let's try the medicine now. Even though I can't inject this thing into you, it's better to let Li Lai do it himself, right?"

Li took the syringe from Mebius's hand, then gently took Kevin's hand: "Be careful Kevin, it might hurt a little."

Facing everything that was happening before his eyes, Kevin remained silent until Li held his hand and prepared to inject the medicine, then he finally took action.

He grabbed Li's wrist with his backhand, and with his other hand grasped the Holy Fire Judgement at his waist, and then -

boom! ! !

The blazing flames instantly engulfed the entire command room. Be it Mobius, Mei, Su, or all those celebrating Fire Moth members, they were all reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye under the sudden flames, leaving only Li, whose arm was still held by Kevin.

"W-what are you doing Kevin?!!"

Seeing the tragic scene in front of her, Li screamed in pain. She tried to shake off Kevin's hand and pick up the charcoal that used to be Mobius, but she was held tightly and could hardly move.

"Kevin, are you crazy?! Why are you suddenly attacking everyone!?"

"Stop pretending, Herrscher." Looking at the tearful Li in front of him, Kevin increased the strength of his hand, almost crushing the other's wrist, "You are not like her at all."

“…Is that so?” After a brief silence, the original sorrow on Li’s—or the Eighth Herrscher’s—face turned into a strange smile, “But I clearly pieced together her image using your impressions of her in your consciousness. If you must say that there is something different from the reality…”

"The reason you noticed the flaw is because you know she doesn't like you?"

Kevin: "..."

Looking at the silent Kevin, the Eighth Herrscher laughed out loud: "What a pitiful fellow. But that's true. How could anyone really like someone who made them so miserable? She was once a hero that everyone admired, but because of you——"

The flames of the Holy Tribunal of Heavenly Fire stopped the Eighth Herrscher from speaking, but her laughter did not stop.

"Why resist, human? You will be destroyed in the end. Isn't it better to indulge in a beautiful dream than to face such a cruel reality soberly?"

"Shut up."

Kevin clenched his weapon tightly, and it was obvious that he had been attacked by the Eighth Herrscher without knowing when. Although he was the strongest fighter in the human race, he had no mental attack methods, and the only thing he could do was to stay awake.

The dream that the Eighth Herrscher had created for him was indeed beautiful, and even made him waver for a moment, but...

In the real world, the collapse will not disappear easily, and Li will not give himself a shy smile, but everything there is real.

The real Li lives in reality and she still needs her own protection.

Even though he knew that the person he killed was just an illusion that used Li's appearance, this feeling still made Kevin feel heavy in his heart.

Now that I have seen through the dream, can I get out of it next?

The next moment, Kevin suddenly woke up from his desk.

"Awake?" Su, who sat at the same table, looked at him helplessly. "You slept from morning till lunch break, you're amazing... Are you too excited to sleep because you were going to confess to Senior Sister Li today?"

"Is this... a school?"

Kevin quickly looked around, and everything here was too familiar, it was Qianyu Academy.

"It's still a dream, why......"

"What kind of dream is this? What else could this be other than a school? Are you dreaming and confused?" Su stood up and patted Kevin's shoulder. "Let's go. Senior is still waiting."
