Bad woman, join the hunt tonight

"...But as your friend, I hate this behavior of yours."

I know this without you telling me. After all, when you first learned the news, you gave me a full 100,000 energies.

But of course Li would not show her feelings on her face, she just put on a helpless smile: "I'm sorry, Mei, I made you angry... But, I think this is necessary."

"Compared with the lives of millions of people, it goes without saying which is more important. And I may not die, and the result of this adventure can save more than just these millions of people... I believe you can do it."

Mei was silent for a moment before she spoke: "You won't die, Li. I will shut down the program before your body reaches its limit... But even if you survive, your body will be irreversibly damaged."

"Mebius sent me all your relevant test data. According to my calculations, even if only the minimum amount of blood is taken, the damage caused to your body will be enough to completely collapse your recovery function. In addition, other values ​​of your body will also be affected. Even in the best case..."

"Whether it's your powerful recovery ability, strength, reaction speed...all your skills will degenerate, and you will probably become an ordinary person."

"That's good, at least I'm still alive." Li Canran smiled, "With more training, maybe I can continue to join the combat forces. Even if I can't get in, I can continue to contribute to humanity by working as a cleaner in your or Dr. VV's laboratory~"

...I would rather you go to a quiet place and live a worry-free life.

Mei didn't want to say this out loud because she knew Li would never accept that kind of life.

She is just like a flame, emitting light and heat to humans in the darkness until she is completely burned out.

But, I don't want you to become ashes after sunrise, Li...

Mei gently closed the door of the experimental cabin: "Li, have a good dream."

That's for sure. After all, the burst of energy makes me happy~

Without answering Mei, Li just smiled and looked at the transparent hatch separating the two of them.

Then, several needles pierced into Li's body, drawing out a steady stream of bright red blood and transporting it to a complex container at the rear.

Defeating the recovery function?

That's exactly what I want. Now I'll have a part in the fusion warrior surgery!

In anticipation of an increase in intensity, Li closed his eyes.

Although she felt that things might not go as smoothly as Mei imagined.

Volume 201: Faith is extinguished in civilization: Chapter Chapter The winner is me, Ai Lishiya!

"Sir, the regeneration rate of her blood has dropped significantly, and the concentration of antibodies in her blood has also been greatly diluted..."

After an unknown amount of time, a staff member at the operating table in Li's laboratory looked nervously at the leader beside him and said, "The amount of blood drawn has far exceeded the limit set by Dr. Mei. Logically, we should have stopped three hours ago... If this continues, Miss Li will die."

"You know what? The reason why her blood works is that in addition to the high concentration of antibodies, there is also some unknown component, so it can improve the human body's adaptability to Honkai energy. The combination of the two makes Li's blood have an immediate effect on Honkai erosion like a special medicine."

The well-dressed leader looked at the test tube of blood in his hand with an intoxicated look in his eyes: "Although the concentration of antibodies has decreased, this unknown component is like it is bound to Li's existence and still exists. So there is no reason for us to stop, right?"

"We lost a lot of things when Mei was transferred away from this place. We even lost a lot of poison pupae. How can we just end it like this?"

The leader raised his lips and pressed a button over the staff. More thick needles were extended from the experimental cabin again, piercing through the skin and flesh and directly into Li's bones.

"Go ahead. This hero is so conscious. I'm sure she will approve of what I'm doing."

…No, brother, I don’t actually agree with it.

Li in the experimental cabin closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious, but he actually heard everything clearly.

After drawing blood, they also drew bone marrow, and these leaders were really capable of doing things like setting a net to wipe out the entire family, which was consistent with her perception of these people.

However, in order to transfer Mei, who was originally here, from the laboratory, they even launched an attack on the headquarters... Li was a little impressed by them.

Because of their actions, Mei has not been able to come back since she left, and this period of time has allowed the Fire Moth to reserve much more of Li's blood than Mei had planned.

There is never too little to save your life, and Li can understand their behavior. But if she continues to let them beat her like this, she will be beaten to death sooner or later, so she still has to think of a way, after all, she can't leave now...

But you can wait until you are beaten harder before stopping it. Then you will surely be able to extract more energy, right?

However, this time, Li didn't have to save himself, because after a while, noisy sounds were heard near the laboratory.

"The poisonous pupa is really useless. Did they send someone over so soon?"

The leader looked a little unhappy, but he didn't say much. He had no intention of breaking up with Mei yet. He immediately ordered his men in the room to take his share of blood and leave. After all, he helped humans obtain so much blood and bone marrow, so he deserved some hard work pay, right?

Shortly after this group of people evacuated, the door of the laboratory was kicked open, and the last pink figure who hurried in was Alicia.

"Li, are you okay——?!"

When she saw Li's pale face in the experimental chamber and the countless needles connected to her body, Alicia's pupils suddenly shrank.

[Energy +100000 Yanxi transfer ① group: 837783853

The next moment, she said nothing, and ran directly to the experimental cabin, and forcibly pulled the hatch off the alloy cabin with her hands. But the next moment, looking at the dense needles on Li's body, Alicia seemed at a loss. She wanted to pull them off directly, but was worried about hurting Li, so she could only turn around and search in the laboratory in a panic.

There were many corpses in the laboratory, including researchers and guards. These were the people Mei left here before she left. They were originally used to ensure Li's safety, but now Li failed to protect them, and these people have all died.

Alicia didn't understand.

She knew that humans could be good or evil, but why could the malice be so great?

Li was willing to sacrifice herself to save others. She had to endure the pain of having her blood drained thousands of times - but why are some people still not satisfied?

They even went so far as to kill their compatriots and attack the base of the Fire Moths...

The headquarters of Song of Fire has been like an iron wall since its establishment. Even the Herrscher of the Void, who was always elusive, died here before he could launch a real attack. The turmoil that broke out from within this time has made the headquarters pay an unprecedented huge price.

Alicia was very strong, but even with her here, the casualties at the headquarters were still enormous. She thought it was an invasion by foreign enemies, but every time she defeated a group of enemies, more would appear in other places...

It was not until later that Alicia discovered that there were no external enemies at all. These enemies had entered the headquarters normally from the beginning. They were brought in by the people in the headquarters and then used as tools to attack others.

Alicia couldn't tell how many people were involved in this action... She guessed that at the beginning, maybe just one person wanted to cause a small riot, but soon others wanted to seize this opportunity to eliminate dissidents... In the end, it was like a snowball and became out of control.

Many high-level officials also died in this reshuffle - it is even possible that attacking each other became the main purpose from halfway through.

Mei was almost killed in the chaos, and when Alicia rescued her, she learned about Li from Mei.

After that, Alicia put everything else aside and rushed over as fast as she could...

But it seemed she was too late.

Alicia searched around frantically and finally found a stop button on a control panel. After pressing it, the needles began to leave Li's body.

Not daring to waste a moment, Alicia immediately came to Li's side and called her nervously.

"Li? Li, can you hear me...?"

Alicia wanted to touch Li, but she pulled her hand back in fear.

The needle holes on the other person's body would have healed in the blink of an eye yesterday, but now there is no sign of healing... Not even a drop of blood has seeped out.

The reason behind this was clear to her even if Alicia didn't want to think about it.

Seeing that Li did not respond no matter how she called him, Alicia became more and more panicked, and a possibility that she did not want to admit also emerged in her mind.

"No, I won't..." Her voice was trembling, and tears began to gather in Alicia's eyes. "You are kidding, right, Li? I heard Kevin say that you played dead and fooled him before! You are lying to me now, right? Haha, you can't fool me... You can't fool me, so..."

Alicia held Li's hand and gently placed it on her face, but she didn't feel any warmth.

"So, please wake up..."

[Energy +500000 Yanxi transfer ① group: 837783853

Well, well, Alicia, you are really an excellent ATM machine with low cost and high return. I would like to name you the best employee of the year!

Looking at the system prompt that popped up in front of him, Li took a lot of effort not to laugh out loud.

I suggest that others learn from Alicia!

Just as Alicia was shedding tears, she suddenly felt a gentle touch brushing against the corner of her eyes.

When she opened her eyes in disbelief, Li Zheng in the experimental cabin gave her a weak smile.

"Really... who made our Alicia cry?"

Volume 202: Faith Extinguishes in Civilization: Chapter Chapter Now I'm a Weakling

Head heavy, eyes full of stars, limbs weak...

Li has never had this feeling since the establishment of the trumpet.

Some people describe weak people as those who fall down when the wind blows, but now Li doesn't even need the wind to blow. When Alicia carefully helped her out of the experimental cabin, her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. If Alicia hadn't been quick to hug her, Li's face would have come into close contact with the ground.

"Sorry, Alicia, I feel a little dizzy..."

"Li, I'd better carry you and go with you, okay?"

Looking at Li, whose face was as pale as paper, Alicia felt as if her heart was being tightly grasped by someone, and it was difficult for her to breathe: "You are too weak now."

Li did not answer Alicia immediately. She glanced at the body lying on the ground with a gloomy expression: "What happened here...?"

"There was a riot in the headquarters, and here as well..." Alicia was about to explain, but when she saw Li's sad expression, she immediately stopped talking, but it was still too late.

"Is it because of me..."

Alicia could see that there seemed to be a light in Li's eyes that was gradually dissipating and dimming.

"I killed them."

Li's voice was very soft, and he seemed to have no emotion about what was happening. But Alicia, who was holding Li in her arms, could feel that his fragile body was trembling.

For Li, who has always regarded protecting humanity as her mission, this is perhaps the situation she can least accept.

[Energy +30000 Yanxi transfer ① group: 837783853

"That's not the case, Li!" Alicia said in panic, "This is not your fault! The entire headquarters is in chaos, those senior executives are instructing their subordinates to attack each other, and the people here are just - just affected. It has nothing to do with you!"

"...Mei is not here. They are just ordinary employees and have no reason to be attacked." Li lowered her head, her messy white hair obscuring her expression. "There is only one thing that can attract those people here, and that is me, isn't it?"

"It's not like that, Li, it's not like that..."

Alicia could only deny the facts repeatedly. At this moment, she wished she could learn more sweet talk skills from Hen.

But the facts could not be changed. She had no way of using words to divert Li's attention to other places. She could only feel that his already depressed mood became even more depressed.

"It's okay, Alicia, I'm fine."

Li looked up at Alysia and said calmly, "Has the riot at the headquarters been suppressed?"

"That's almost it."

"Aliceia, please don't lie to me."

"...Not yet, but the troops being transferred back to headquarters are almost here, and order should be restored soon."

For some reason, even though she knew that she had to keep it a secret so that she could stay with the weak and dangerous Li, when she looked into the other person's lifeless eyes, Alicia could not utter a word of deception.

"Then leave me alone for now and go maintain law and order, Alicia. Your strength is indispensable at this time."

Sure enough, if she knew the truth, she would definitely make such a choice...

"Li, you need protection now."

"I don't need protection. This minor injury will heal quickly." Li shook his head gently, "The people outside need you more."

"but--"

"Please, Alicia..."

Alicia could feel Li unconsciously tightening his grip on her shoulders, but the force was too small, even weaker than that of an ordinary child.

"If this continues, more people will die...because of my fault...so, please..."

That voice that was always confident and gentle now showed unprecedented fear and trembling.

Can Li's body really recover?

Even though Alicia didn't understand biological science, she could tell from Li's current state that this was simply impossible, and the other party was just trying to be brave.

She was not afraid when facing the Herrscher, and did not waver when facing the torture of having her blood drained. However, she became terrified when she heard that someone might die because of her...

[Energy +20000 Yanxi transfer ① group: 837783853

"I'm sorry, Li, I can't do this."

Li's spirit was obviously greatly traumatized, and his physical weakness might have contributed to this... If we put her aside temporarily as Li said and go to suppress the riots in other places, perhaps she would feel a little more at ease.

But this would mean leaving Li, who has no ability to resist, alone here, and Alicia was worried.

Alicia understood what Mei and Mebius were thinking. They felt that Li's ideas needed to be respected. Therefore, even though she knew that the other party's behavior would hurt herself, she still chose to do what Li thought.

But Alicia couldn't do it. If the price of respecting Li's opinion was to allow Li to get hurt, then she would rather be the bad person who rejected Li.
