Human civilization and human beings have long been a joke...
The girl, who usually had a wooden face, seemed to have suddenly lost control of her expression. Realization, astonishment, dejection, guilt and intense panic flashed across her pretty face one after another.
She opened her mouth slightly, her soft lips and pearly teeth trembling together, as if tears were swallowing her throat for a moment:
"I, I don't know..."
Hearing this, Lu Mian's sneer turned into kindness and tenderness again.
Under the soft light, he stood upright, looking very tall, and reached out to bury Mei's head, which was in a humble position due to sitting, on his lower abdomen.
After smoothing the other person's ponytail, he said softly:
"I think you know better than me what happened inside the Fire Moth at that time. Of course you don't know. Don't worry, I have already been able to separate 'you' from 'them' very skillfully.
"Besides that, I don't blame anyone except the senior executive who ordered my assassination and whom I eventually made into an 'acquaintance'. I have come to this point only because I found my own solution.
"Do you still remember the promise and agreement between us? Just hold on a little longer, and leave the rest to me."
"...Hmm..." Mei's voice was muffled. Perhaps at this moment even she herself didn't know what she was thinking.
After a while, Lu Mian loosened his arm, and instead spread out his hand and handed over a golden object, "Come on, my good girl."
Mei's glasses were covered with a thin layer of mist, and she couldn't see clearly what the golden thing was.
When the mist was wiped away, I found that it was a golden apple.
You will make everything right.
[You will weave a dream for those who should not have died in the collapse. ]
[You will keep those who are important to you alive and let their shining stars continue. ]
[You have already realized it. ]
-----------------
After the heavy and serious topic, Lu Mian and Mei no longer had the mood to enjoy the candlelight dinner.
The atmosphere became silent for a moment.
In the end, it was Lu Mian who spoke first;
"I'm suddenly interested in today's fire moth. Would you be willing to show me around?"
Hearing the voice, Mei, who was stroking the golden apple and thinking about something, did not respond. She just reached out and held Lu Mian's hand, interlocking their fingers.
The two came to the Fire Moth base together.
It's said to be a good tour, but in fact, it's just strolling together and walking around everywhere.
The first person to run into Lu Mian and Mei in the base was Kevin.
At this moment, he was walking in the corridor "separately" with an elegant young man with long gray hair and often squinting eyes.
If Lu Mian remembered correctly, this young man with long gray hair should be Kevin's good brother "Su".
Maybe it was due to some unexpected coincidence that he joined the Fire Moth?
Compared to this, he was more concerned about the way Kevin and Sue walked, but seeing these two grown men walking along the walls on both sides of the corridor - if you didn't know the situation, you would think that the girls had a fight over something.
It's quite interesting.
Lu Mian also knew that this was caused by Kevin's ability to control a little bit of ice, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just reached out and hugged the shivering Mei into his arms.
The mechanical body that Weiwei built for him has many interesting little functions.
For example, the "warm man mode" that can be used in the current scene to heat up the whole body to resist the cold...
Seeing Lu Mian's actions, before Kevin could say anything, Su on the other side of the corridor reacted first.
Knowing that Kevin had liked Mei in the past, he opened his eyes and stared at Kevin who was so far away from him.
In response, Kevin's expressionless mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at the curious baby Su who raised his hand to show Mei, "Sister-in-law."
"...Sister-in-law." Su repeated it without taking his eyes off Kevin's icy face.
He must have a lot to say now.
Kevin, knowing this, nodded slightly to Lu Mian, then immediately walked forward without looking back.
Seeing this, Su hurriedly nodded to Lu Mian and Mei, then started to catch up.
I hope their next discussion can be more harmonious.
Thinking this in his heart, Lu Mian turned around and gently pinched the flickering light in his palm.
[You gave "reason" to Su. At this point, there is no room for choice. Just give him what you have. ]
After watching Kevin and Su go away, Lu Mian didn't let go of Mei's arm and walked in the opposite direction of the two people.
Before we got far, we ran into another group of people:
Hua and Eden.
These two girls don't look well, and their mental state can no longer be described as "depressed".
Upon asking, I learned that they met during the Herrscher of Flame incident and developed psychological problems because of it.
Hua witnessed with her own eyes that the savior and captain who brought her into the Fire Moth suddenly turned into a humanoid monster and killed all her comrades who had been with her day and night.
As the only survivor, she not only did not receive any comfort, but was also excluded as a "companion of the witch."
It would be abnormal if you didn't have some psychological problems.
Eden's psychological problems are more abstract and difficult to explain in a short time.
Lu Mian did not comfort or console Hua.
It's just a minor difficulty. It won't be long before she meets her own "luck".
Otherwise, everything will be over.
With the same mentality, Lu Mian did not talk too much with Eden, the shining man whom he had known for a long time, and only gave him the "Shining" imprint invisibly.
Eden stared at Lu Mian's back as he hugged Mei as they walked away, and inadvertently recalled the game cartridge that had revealed her true feelings.
She glanced at Hua who was also standing beside her, and asked softly:
"What kind of man is he?"
"Ah, ah? Brother Lu said he is a good person?" Hua, who was unable to react for a moment, answered subconsciously.
On the other side, in the Mobius laboratory.
Lu Mian stood side by side with Mei as they watched Mebius lecture her long-time lab assistant "Blanca".
Looking at Mobius who was obviously very angry, Lu Mian did not rush to say anything, but instead looked at Mei beside him.
Do you want to tell Mebius the "truth" between the Honkai and human civilization and technology?
This was the question he wanted to ask.
In response, Mei shook her head slightly and decided to continue hiding this secret that no longer mattered whether people knew about it or not.
From cold weapons to hot weapons, from ordinary energy to collapse energy.
Since ancient times, the technology of human civilization has not been developing step by step, but has been explosive.
Now, after experiencing the technological explosion of "Fusion Warrior", the Herrscher of Fire is able to burn all of Australia in the blink of an eye.
How many Herrs will there be after this? How many chips like Australia can humans put on the gambling table?
Even if we curb the development of technology, it will be useless.
Humanity has long lost the room to stop or retreat.
Just move forward, always move forward.
Looking forward to as many technological explosions as possible, and looking forward to the next Herrscher being unable to destroy the world with one blow.
Under this premise, what's the point of saying "Ah, the strength of the Honkai side will become stronger as human civilization and technology advance"?
Tell everyone that from now on they can just lie down and wait for death or wait for a miracle to happen?
There is no need to throw a basin of ice water down from the beginning when you know it will not bring any benefits.
Lu Mian quietly looked at Mei, who looked a little tired but not depressed, raised his hand and gently pinched the side of her face, "Don't take it too seriously, hold on, good things will definitely happen."
"Hmm," Mei hummed a falsetto, but suddenly looked sideways at Lu Mian and looked at him, "No matter what, you will be fine, right?"
"That's right~?" After giving this response, a flawless smile quietly appeared on Lu Mian's face.
At this time, Mebius's lecture came to an end.
She looked up at Blanca, who was looking guilty, and felt that she had rarely been so angry in her life:
"Just for the sake of family, you dare to betray me who already has 'infinite' power, are you really going to betray me!?
"You just stuffed a few stupid girls who didn't look smart and sent me away. Fine, go away and never come back!
"Oh no, you're really leaving!?...Then get out of here!"
Watching the blue-haired woman who looked guilty but left without hesitation disappear in the laboratory, Mebius, who was very angry, opened and closed her lips slightly.
Turning my head to look, I saw an adulterous couple who looked like a perfect match and in love.
She was already angry, so she swayed her slender waist and slowly walked to Lu Mian and Mei.
Before he could speak, Lu Mian, who looked curious, spoke first:
"Dr. Mobius, what are you doing? Are you returning to your roots?"
"This is, this is a tiny side effect brought about by comprehending 'infinity' and 'eternal life' and reaching the level of godhood." When asked about his pain points, Mebius looked down at his small and poor body and forced himself to explain.
I don't know why she's been so unlucky lately.
The side effect of the fusion warrior experiment is that the mind is still sharp but the body has shrunk.
Anyway, once she is able to use her abilities proficiently, she will be able to control her body and change its size at will.
But the most unbearable thing was that Blanca, her experimental assistant who had always helped her, also left her because of unimportant things like family.
Snake is feeling bitter.
Seeing that Mebius’s face was twisted into a bitter look, Lu Mian couldn’t help but reach out and pinch her face.
Seeing this, his eyes widened, and he chuckled and asked:
"Then, Dr. Mobius, have you really become a god?"
"Uh," Mobius's expression suddenly froze, and he stammered for a long time before finally saying, "Halfway through, quasi-god, right..."
Hearing this, Lu Mian and Mei looked at each other and both tried to hold back their laughter.
"Yes, Miss Quasi-God."
"Hey, hey!? I'm telling you guys..."
"Click——"
Before Mebius could finish his words, he heard the unique metallic sound of the laboratory door opening and closing, and Blanca, who had just left without looking back, came back again.
Seeing this, Mebius's mouth twitched wildly, but he said something insincerely:
"Why are you back again? Didn't I tell you to never come back if you leave?"
However, Blanca ignored Mebius and walked to the side, picked up a little guy with the same hair color as her and slightly smaller than Ling, and then walked out of the laboratory door again.
"?" Mebius suddenly felt that his light green hair suddenly became colorful, and his nose also turned a little red.
One second, two seconds.
She was stunned for two seconds before she came to her senses. She hurried forward to take the child back from Blanca and muttered:
"You can go, but I'll let you borrow the child for two days."
Blanca also knew that Mebius would not be too harsh on the child, so she only gave her daughter a few instructions and then turned around and left again.
