Bad woman, join the hunt tonight

"...... Li, you mean I will be a deserter and I still need you to supervise me in my mind, right?"

Hen turned his head, and besides anger and shock, there was more disappointment in his eyes.

He never thought that one day he would hear such words, not from the mouths of those disgusting senior officials, but from Li.

This moment Hen felt sad and ridiculous. Could it be that he had never been able to see clearly what kind of person Li was all these years?

"People always do things that catch others off guard. How do I know what you are thinking?" Li said in a flat tone, "Only with the stamp of thought can I trust you."

"..." Hen opened his mouth, but said nothing in the end. It seemed that he felt that all the words he wanted to say were so ridiculous.

In the end, he just sneered disdainfully: "After such a long time, I still can't recognize a person. I am really stupid... Then do as you think, big boss, if this can make your heart feel at ease."

".....Whatever you think." Li lowered his eyes slightly, "As long as more people can survive, I don't care."

Hen saw Li's hand pointing at him gently, but he did not feel that his thinking was under any forced influence - perhaps it was because he had never thought of deserting from the beginning, but was ready to die.

"This is the first time in all these years that someone has said I would be a deserter."

Without even looking at Li, Hen rushed straight towards the simulated black hole in the distance. The next moment, the violent hurricane suddenly calmed down.

Even if it's only temporary.

"...The Ninth Herrscher was successfully defeated, but the pseudo black hole she created before her death was enough to swallow up the entire Mu Continent. All the fusion warriors of the expedition team were killed. Hen is trying to stop the spread of the black hole. We can buy about three hours. Let's organize an evacuation."

Silently connecting to the headquarters, Li explained all the situations to himself and then closed the line again, isolating himself from the confusing inquiries from the other side.

The surrounding creatures had been killed or injured in the recent disaster, and Hen had already entered the range of the black hole. Li was the only one left standing on this dead and desolate land.

She said nothing, but just looked up at the gloomy sky above.

After an unknown amount of time, she slowly raised her hand and touched her chest, then she smiled incomprehensibly and murmured softly.

“I really can’t jump.”

[Fuck, I said Li would definitely be influenced by the Herrscher, and now it happens! ]

[All surgeries for fusion warriors have side effects, and the artificial Herrscher's surgery is even more exaggerated. It makes no sense that there wouldn't be any. Now it seems that the consciousness is most likely affected.]

[Is my bad luck coming true? Is Li really going to transform into a Herrscher of Consciousness? ]

[Laoli, don't let the Herrscher win the resurrection match, we believe in you! ]

[But Hen actually died like this. I saw that the three of them were quite happy in paradise all day long, and they didn’t seem to have any deep hatred or vengeance.]

[After all, they are a whole family, while other crazy people are all alone - this is the power of family! ]

[Shouldn't you be wondering why Hen is still in Paradise even though he's dead? ]

[It should be a false memory constructed by Gray's consciousness, or it may be that she re-drew her parents herself]

[Don't worry about Le Tu for now. I think Li will become a member of the Lao family sooner or later. After all, the former civilization can be sure that all the Herrschers except the End have been killed. Now that Li has been corroded and turned back into a Herrscher, he will definitely die.]

[I feel the influence should be subtle. Now when Li is taunted by Hen that his heart won't beat, his defense is still broken, unlike the Herrscher.]

[How did the above know that she was down? She was clearly smiling.]

[The Herrscher of Consciousness who drove the corpse of Li immediately rushed to the scene of the resurrection match without mourning for Li's death! ]

Volume 242: Faith Extinguishes in Civilization: Chapter Chapter : It is Necessary to Mind Others' Business

The Ninth Herrscher's pseudo-black hole eventually engulfed the entire Mu Continent. More than one billion people died in this incident, which was the most painful price mankind had ever faced since the birth of Honkai.

The collapse is not just an ordinary disaster or enemy, but a natural disaster that can actually wipe out humans from the earth. The morale that was originally boosted by the fusion warriors has been wiped out, and many people even began to believe that it is impossible for humans to defeat such an existence.

People's attention was focused on the collapse itself and the millions of refugees from Mu Continent. Compared with this, the death of a dozen fusion warriors seemed insignificant.

However, things that seem insignificant in the macro narrative often become unbearable pain when applied to specific individuals.

"Hen, Hen, is he really......?"

"......sorry."

Not daring to look at Blanca's dull gaze, Li lowered his head and walked quickly past her.

Thanks to Hen's delay, most of the people at the Fire Moth headquarters successfully evacuated to the Asian branch, and Blanca and Grayshu were naturally among them. In fact, not only Blanca, but many other relatives and friends of the fusion fighters had also been waiting for the aircraft that Li was riding, looking forward to seeing the person in their hearts walk out of it.

Unfortunately, in the end, Li was the only one who walked out of the empty carriage.

Blanca was relatively calm, while many of the others were already crying. Fortunately, everyone here was a member of the Fire Moth and had already been mentally prepared to a certain extent. Therefore, no one lost control of their emotions and rushed up to grab Li to question her.

But there are always people who are caught off guard and unable to accept what is happening.

When Li had already walked away from the crowd and turned the corner where no one was, he saw a young man standing silently in the shadows.

"Ms. Li..."

Kosmo's voice was a little dry, and he seemed to be worried about what he was going to say next, but he finally asked what was on his mind.

"This time, it was the decision of the Fire Moth again, right? It was those high-level officials who wanted Hen to die..."

Kosmo tried hard to organize his words and find a suitable reason for the hero in his heart.

That rumor was unreliable. Hadn't he heard how filthy the top brass of the Fire Moth were? This time, they must have let Miss Li make the ruthless decision for them.

"No, it's my decision."

The excuses given by Kosmo were meaningless. It was obvious that Kosmo could continue to deceive himself as long as he nodded and admitted it. However, Li told him the worst fact without any hesitation, forcing Kosmo to face reality.

However, Li's expression seemed calm: "There is no need to be too hostile to the Fire Chasing Moth. The top leaders have been cleared out by Su, and you should know this yourself."

Kosmo was silent. Yes, of course he knew that those disgusting people were no longer around, but...

He just didn't want to admit the fact - he didn't want to admit that the person he had always admired did such a thing.

"...Why?" Kosmo lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly, "Why did you order Hen to die?"

"This is necessary. Letting Hen die can save the lives of millions of people. It's reasonable."

“It’s not reasonable at all!!!”

Kosmo, who had been fed up with it for so long, could no longer control himself and shouted angrily: "No matter what the reason is, it is not a reason to send people to their deaths - heroes should not do such things!"

Angry, but more of a disillusionment.

He felt that Li shouldn't do this.

Maybe we can figure out a solution?

But even if no solution can be found, even if this sacrifice is necessary, it should not be proposed by Li at least.

Kosmo knew that his thoughts were twisted and meaningless, but...

There is no such perfect hero as in the story. This has been proven by what other people have said and by what Kosmo himself has seen before. Kosmo once tried to be such a hero, but ultimately found that he couldn't do it.

He could not be a man without any selfish motives, who would not make any mistakes and who could defeat any enemy.

But Li can do it.

Kosmo admired Li. Ever since the day when he was rescued from the storm by Li, the other's confident smile in the wind was deeply engraved in Kosmo's heart.

He wanted to get closer to Li, wanted to understand Li better, wanted to become a hero like him.

Following in Li's footsteps, Kosmo joined the Fire Moth and got to know more about Li. The more he learned, the more he was amazed at what a great hero Li was.

He defeated so many Herrschers alone, and the number of Honkai beasts he killed and the number of humans he protected was countless. He was gentle and cheerful, and treated everyone equally, even attentively teaching ordinary warriors how to fight...

She is like a sun, always bright and correct - exactly the same as the heroic image in Kosmo's mind.

So Kosmo yearns for such a Li, she is like the embodiment of his dream.

But today, Li did something that a hero should never do.

A hero should never abandon his companions, never let them die, and never coldly measure human lives with numbers.

There is no such thing as a perfect hero. The person he had always admired finally made a rational but cold-blooded choice.

It is impossible for one's dreams to come true.

Everything I insist on is meaningless...

why?

Is there no real justice in this world?!

Why! !

Thinking of Hen, who had always supported me like an elder, now was swallowed by the black hole and even his body could not be found.

Thinking of that gentle senior, now standing in front of me with a cold expression.

Thinking that your beliefs are just illusions that cannot be achieved.

The Kosmons felt a heavy rage burning in their minds, roaring and looking for a place to vent.

The limbs began to twist at some point, and the hands gradually turned into devil-like claws... and then swung towards the person in front of him.

......

I just arbitrarily imposed my dream on Li, and I also arbitrarily felt betrayed. Therefore, it was unreasonable for me to attack Li who destroyed the Herrscher. I knew this myself.

But he still did it. In addition to the violent anger in his heart, there was another reason: he knew that he could not hurt Li at all.

The gap in strength between the two is too big. Kosmo has even seen Li easily control both Qianjie and Aponia.

If he attacked Li, the probability of being killed in return was much greater than injuring the other party - even Kosmo felt that this was not bad, at least he didn't need to think about why his life goals were impossible.

But things turned out to be beyond his expectations.

Staring blankly at his sharp claws that pierced Li's body, Kosmo, who was almost turning into a monster, stood there in a daze.

"Why... didn't you stop me?"

Without answering Kosmo's question, Li just gently reached out his hand and held Kosmo's distorted face. The next moment, the uncontrollable anger and half-monster appearance disappeared, leaving Kosmo, who had returned to normal, with a confused face.

"You have to be careful after undergoing the super transformation surgery. The emotions of the fusion warriors are easily affected by the factors of the Honkai beasts, and you have to be more careful about the factors of Vishnu."

After helping Kosmo tidy up his messy hair, Li didn't say anything, but just left silently.

Only Kosmo was left standing there at a loss.

......

Today's harvest was quite a lot. I got a wave from Hen and another wave from Kosmo. Although Hen's charging efficiency was relatively low, the total was 400,000.

Walking on the road with an expressionless face, Li quickly calculated today's income in his mind.

Although Blanca and Grayshure did not break through the defense, Kosmo did, which was a little unexpected for her, but Li could understand it - after all, it is indeed a difficult problem to accept to find that the person you have always admired is completely different from what you imagined.

But a captain once said that admiration is the feeling farthest from understanding, and it is inevitable that such a thing will happen when you place your hopes on others - so Li always only believes in himself.

Li touched the wound on her chest. This kind of injury would be enough to cause a fusion warrior to lose combat effectiveness or even die. However, it had no effect on her now. Her body had even begun to slowly repair the damage.

After all, Li is no longer a human being, and having part of her body destroyed is not a big deal for her.

Maybe he could go around to the other sheep and get some more wool, after all, Kevin and the others were almost there. But for Kosmo's safety, Li decided to let them go for the time being.

But the Ninth Herrscher has already gone to such an outrageous state, can this civilization really last until the end?

It won't be sent halfway...

-

After the sinking of Mu Continent, Su decided to re-establish the command system centered on the Asian branch.

The attacks of the Eighth and Ninth Herrschers proved that although concentrating resources and manpower together can improve efficiency, it can also result in heavy losses if attacked.

For example, Mu Continent was the technological and industrial center of mankind. The sinking of Mu Continent by the Ninth Herrscher directly led to the loss of most of the resources of mankind, and the giant Moonlight Throne built under the leadership of Mei was also reduced to ashes. The loss was heavy.

Therefore, Su chose to disperse and allocate resources to different bases around the world. Although efficiency would be affected, the loss to humanity once attacked by the Herrscher would not be so great that it would be unbearable.

Although some people think that it would be easier to protect them if all the remaining resources were concentrated, Su believes that judging from the combat effectiveness shown by the Herrschers now, they are already so strong that it is difficult for humans to stop them without paying a huge price. If they are determined to destroy a certain place, humans are simply helpless.

All we can do is exchange space for time, so that the Herrscher cannot paralyze humanity's last hope of resistance in an instant.

Although public opinion around the world has become pessimistic, humans have still taken positive action and started to build large bases around the world, and powerful combat forces such as fusion warriors have also been distributed all over the world.

Li was assigned to the Far East, not far from the Asian branch where Su was, but because of its small area and convenient support, she was the only one in charge here - so Li was very sad because she was cut off from the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

But after all, this was a reasonable arrangement decided by Su after comprehensively considering all aspects of the situation. Mr. Li could not object on the grounds that he did not want to be too far away from others, and finally he could only accept the arrangement obediently.

"The lively life is gone forever..."

Walking on the road full of Far Eastern style, Li ate the meatball in his hand while calmly looking at the surrounding situation.

There were not many pedestrians on the road, but fully armed Fire Moth soldiers on duty could be seen every few steps. As the Collapse became increasingly severe, ordinary people had already developed the habit of not going out unless necessary. After all, if they were unlucky enough to encounter the Death Soldiers and the Collapse Beasts, they would be doomed. Even the weakest Death Soldiers were not something that ordinary people could resist.
