Honkai: It’s broken, I have become the Herrscher of Corrosion?

Ling looked at herself in the mirror and showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Ahem... the voice is fine, but the appearance seems to be very different from Sister Ai Li when she was a child."

Looking at the girl in front of her who looked very similar to her but different, Alicia took the initiative, touched her face, and then pulled her into her arms.

"Ling, you showed me another possibility of [Alicea]. The power of erosion is really interesting."

Everyone was already used to Alicia taking direct action. Ling looked up at Alicia, then at herself now, revealing a worried expression:

"...How should I put it? I feel like if I appear in front of Mei with this appearance, it might not achieve the desired effect."

"My current appearance is the result of combining my data with that of Ellie. It seems... that I don't have any erosion factors..."

Enosia immediately understood Ling's meaning:

"Sister, Ling means that although she has some elements of [Alicea], she is too cute and doesn't look like a villain at all. In communication between people, the first impression is very important, and Mei knew very little about Ling before, so... her appearance will affect Mei's judgment to some extent."

"Although judging people by appearance is not appropriate from a rational point of view. But... it is because what humans have learned from history is that they will never learn lessons from history. It is precisely because judging people by appearance happens so often that we have to keep reminding people that it is wrong."

"Yeah... That's right. If I wasn't so cute, I might have been examined more carefully when I joined the Fire Moth..."

"That's not the case. After all, you still have the ability to kill the Herrscher. At that time, being able to solve the problem was the most important thing. Being good-looking is at most icing on the cake for the Fire Moth. And to say the least, even if the Fire Moth conducts a more detailed examination of you, I'm afraid the result will not change much."

"After all, until the very end, no one knew anything about the power of [Origin]."

"Ah, I seem to have gone off topic again. Anyway, I didn't think it through before. The similarities between Ling and my sister... seem to need some minor modifications..."

(Switching to Raiden Mei's perspective...)

Fire Chasing Moth Base.

"Mebius, I heard that a very powerful guy came here before?"

Feeling the hot breath of Alicia on his face, Mobius frowned at this guy who seemed to have no idea what a sense of boundaries was.

"Why don't you just ask Hen about this kind of thing? I never get involved in this kind of thing."

Mebius reached out and pushed Alicia's face away.

"Really? I came here because Dr. Mobius received that [letter]."

Alicia looked around and set her eyes on the laboratory table.

"That [preview letter]? No wonder they let you come here."

Mebius snorted and picked up the letter from the table.

"The greatest magician of the century from Dusk Street... I don't know if he is the greatest, but this guy named Velvet... is obviously a monster like you."

"There aren't many people who can get such an evaluation from Mobius. It seems that this person named Velvet is just like me. Is she an interesting guy?"

After rummaging around in the corner of the laboratory for a while, Mebius pulled out a stack of information.

“Although it seems that these tasks are not originally intended for me to complete… Never mind, Klein is going to have a meeting with those experts…”

Mobius thought about it. No matter what, Alicia was only one person. But if she switched places with Klein, she would go to the conference room and listen to those "experts" give some useless reports one after another, and they would ask her to give valuable opinions... and ask her to give her opinions, but her opinions would not be implemented every time. In the end, Mobius would have to implement other people's opinions...

Mebius shook her head. She would rather face Alicia alone in the laboratory than deal with those leaders and experts who had nothing in common with her.

Of course, this can't actually be blamed on Fire Moth. After all, the opinion put forward by Mobius... The United Nations Human Rights Organization did not sue her, which was already a face-giving to Fire Moth.

"See for yourself."

"Hey, Mobius, I haven't said anything yet, but you put the thing I need most in front of me. It seems... we have a tacit understanding."

"Tsk, I'm just worried about whether a certain self-conceited person can help me guard the laboratory tonight."

Alicia smiled at the arrogant Mebius and began to read the information she found carefully.

【Virvi.

Age: unknown

Gender: Female (tentative)

Birthplace: unknown

Personal experience: A few years ago, I used some means to forge the identity of a "mechanical dynamics student" to enter a well-known university. In three years, I started from scratch and completed all the courses in advanced mechanical dynamics.

She once performed magic shows around the world as a "Magician" and called herself "the greatest magician from Dusk Street". So far, no one has ever seen through her magic shows.

He had used some means to forge an identity as a lecturer at a well-known university. After giving lectures, he received a large amount of money and then fled with the money. The local police wanted to arrest him but could not find any clues, and the victims all said that they were not deceived.

She had used some means to forge an identity for herself as a "well-known scholar in Mu Continent". At a seminar in Mu Continent, she had met with Fire Moth. Although Fire Moth found that there were problems with her identity, in order to avoid alerting the enemy and to obtain more information about her, he chose not to expose her. He bought the baseball bat she carried with her at a high price.

After testing, the bat's structure was found to be extremely strong. In the third collapse, Kevin, the strongest warrior of the Fire Moth, proved in actual combat that her invention could withstand attacks from the Herrscher level head-on and remain intact.

He once participated in the "Mu Continent Chef Championship" as a "civilian food lover" and eventually won the championship with an astonishing advantage.

Although she often appears in public places in various identities, any individual or organization that wants to find her afterwards will find nothing. 】

"It seems that this Weiwei is not only a genius, but also an all-rounder. However... judging from these data, she is just playing some pranks at most."

"Just like I took away Mebius's badge before."

Hearing Alicia talking about something irrelevant, Mebius' face quickly turned as green as her hair.

That was shortly after the Second Collapse began, before Alicia set out.

On the day she joined the Fire Moth, she received her first mission. Although the mission did not specify a specific target, Alicia quickly set her sights on Mebius.

Because Mobius had previously conducted dangerous experiments without authorization, the Fire Moth restricted her range of activities and use of equipment, so she was not aware of the specific circumstances of the Second Collapse.

Based on this, Alicia disguised herself as an ordinary staff member of the base, and when Mebius asked her about the second Honkai Impact, she easily took away her medal on the grounds that the badge distribution system had been modified.

Because Alicia was dressed in full armor, Mebius couldn't even recognize her. She was the girl lying on the operating table the night before.

Although it was a prank, Alicia did get something that no one else could get, so her performance was still ranked first by a huge margin.

Alicia still remembers the moment when Mobius complained to others about the poor security of the Fire Moth base, Alicia appeared in front of her with her badge in her hand, smiling.

Faced with a close attack, Mebius could only get angry in the end, because no matter what method she used, she couldn't touch the corner of Alicia's clothes.

At this time, Alicia brought up the past, which undoubtedly aroused her initial disgust towards Alicia. At least that's what she thought.

"Oh, Mobius, don't be angry. I just... feel that I need to use a suitable example to liven up the overly cold atmosphere in this laboratory."

"Of course, I was wrong just now. I apologize, dear Dr. Mobius. Please forgive this naughty beautiful girl, okay?"

Mobius's puffy cheeks gradually returned to normal like a deflated pufferfish.

(As expected, Mebius is actually quite easy to talk to. If I apologize promptly when she’s angry, she’ll forgive me, right?)

Alicia was secretly delighted to see Mobius's various expressions, but what she didn't know was that if anyone else dared to speak like that, they might have become Mobius's guinea pig by now.

Alicia picked up the second document.

[If Wei Weiwei's actions were limited to the above behaviors that did not cause any harm, then we could still say that it was just a unique habit of a genius.]

[But since the second collapse, we found that Velvet seemed to have a strong interest in the Fire Moth, and achieved it in a way that made everyone alert. ]

[Take this year for example. From the beginning of the year to now, the Fire Moth has suffered a total of 57 unidentified intrusions around the world, and Wei Wei is the biggest suspect. ]

[After each intrusion, traces of tampering were found in the base's confidential database. And, we speculate that this was Wei Wei who took the initiative to tell Fire Moth that her target was confidential information that was not suitable for public disclosure.]

[Therefore, the Fire Moth took various protective measures, but in the end, without exception, the system was breached and the base was invaded. ]

[After the recent base invasion incidents, Wei Wei even sent out a warning letter in advance, explaining the time and location of her operation...]

"So, this time, she chose this place, the headquarters of the Fire Moth?"

"It's probably because the previous actions were too boring for her, and she wanted to find some excitement... She definitely can't think from a normal person's perspective."

"Kevin is not here tonight. They think that you are the only one who can catch her in the entire Fire Moth."

"...This is indeed one of the few things that those guys and I can agree on."

"It seems like everyone trusts me, so I can't let everyone down."

"Besides... such an interesting girl, I also want to meet her in person."

That night.

Except for the guards and robots working in three shifts, everyone else in the Fire Moth base had gone off work, and the area near Mebius' laboratory deep in the base was even quieter than during the day.

A slight electric sound was heard, and the surveillance camera in front of the door of Mobius Laboratory instantly turned into snowflakes.

"Success."

Weiwei took one last look at the screen. A thumb-sized micro robot was transmitting the image remotely back to her terminal device. Inside, a door was slowly opening.

She turned the lights in the room brighter, looked at her hands, and quickly looked away. Biting her nails was a bad habit, and she had decided to change it.

The door on the screen opened completely. She turned around, feeling a little confused.

This place took her a long time to enter, and it is a confidential area that everyone is keeping secret...

Why...is there only one aunt with green hair?

"So... what exactly is [Honkai]? This organization that she is spying on, and the series of disasters that they have spared no effort to cover up... what is its true nature?"

Weiwei controlled the micro robot to fly up from the wall and slowly approached the only human in the area, wanting to record the other person's mumbling more clearly.

[Finally... got it, you are... the first...]

I can not hear you.

The girl recalled the noise the micro robot would make when flying, and carefully let it continue to approach the other...

"Wow, you're really amazing. You've already investigated so deeply in such a short time?"

"Discovered?!"

The delicate operation in Weiwei's hands suddenly came to a halt, and the robot lost control and fell into the collar of the green-haired woman.

"No, this sound is clearly..."

By the time she reacted, a very soft body had already leaned on her back.

“... It was clearly coming from right next to me...”

Weiwei lowered her head and let the other person's jaw fall on her shoulder - it was not yet irreversible, and she still had room to think about a response plan.

"Wow - this is the first time I've seen this. You're really brave. So... you're the one who's been investigating the fire moths, right, [Vilvi]? What a lovely name, and you live up to it, right?"

Weiwei felt her earlobes itching from the other person's hot breath when he spoke.

"Yes, I have read the letter you sent to them yesterday. It took me a whole day to find you... According to what was said above, I win now."

"... Well, don't be so anxious. You can slowly think about how to deal with me. Before that, let's just chat casually, okay?"
