Honkai Impact 3rd: I picked up a Seele at the start of the game.

……

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

Yun Fuyu passed the simulated combat assessment smoothly and became a formal combatant. During this period, Hen seemed to be busy with something and was not particularly attentive to the training of the new recruits. He would often leave temporarily and only return after an hour or half an hour to continue guiding the training.

Yun Fuyu didn't make many friends and always kept to herself. Not long ago, she was thinking of finding a meal buddy, only to find that the other sixteen recruits had already paired up and formed meal buddies, leaving no spot for her... Turns out, being aloof was a mistake.

He's actually a guy who likes to laugh a lot; his lips can't help but curl upwards when he sees friends or family. It's just that this world is so unfamiliar, and he only smiles when he sees characters from the Honkai Impact 3rd storyline—like when he first saw Seele.

However, in the past two weeks, Yun Fuyu only saw three familiar characters: Mei, Hen, and Möbius. Among them, Mei was only seen briefly once before they went their separate ways.

He didn't know anyone, not even someone to eat with, so he was even more lonely. But many people thought he was aloof and didn't like interacting with others, so they didn't dare to talk to him easily... Oh no, it's a vicious cycle.

She even occasionally misses Möbius; at least she can chat with him for a few minutes.

noon.

Holding a novel borrowed from the library, Yun Fuyu ate while reading. She accidentally ate a bite of a small chili pepper and quickly spat it out. When she looked up, she suddenly realized that Möbius was sitting in front of her again, and the surroundings had become eerily quiet once more.

He took a couple of gulps of water, wiped his mouth, and asked, "Why do you look so gloomy?"

That's right, Mebius looked unhappy at that moment, sitting there sulking... Although it's hard to say if it was acting, it certainly looked very real, and even a little cute.

Möbius suddenly asked, "Tell me, am I really that terrible? I've tried so hard to learn how others speak, but they still desperately try to stay away from me."

I'm just guessing, when she said "other people's way of speaking," she was referring to Alicia!

However, Yun Fuyu had been living at the Firemoth's main base for a month. Although he often heard legends about Alicia, he had never seen her in person and didn't know where she was. Since he had never seen her, Yun Fuyu didn't feel comfortable asking about her whereabouts.

(Legend: refers to the girl who killed the Second Herrscher, whose strength is second only to Kevin, who is said to be the most beautiful girl in the entire Moth of Flame, the lesbian leader who makes countless men regret and hate her, and the culprit who makes countless girls toss and turn at night with their sheets soaked... It seems like some strange description has been mixed in.)

Back to the present.

Mebius's imitation of Alicia's speech was actually quite effective. When she first met Mebius in the deep forest with Seele, although she was startled by her naturally serpentine eyes, she later lowered her guard a lot because of her charming tone (although she eventually ran away with Seele and never trusted her at all).

But what did she mean by that complaint? Why did she come to find Yun Fuyu?

Yun Fuyu: "What exactly happened? What do you want from me?"

Mebius casually shoveled a mouthful of rice into his mouth, then sighed, "Blanca resigned... Oh well, you don't even know who she is."

Yun Fuyu: "I do know a little bit. Blanca is Hen's wife, right? You, Hen, and Blanca could easily form half of the leadership team for the early stages of the Fire Moth."

Mebius gave him a long, thoughtful look: "You seem to know quite a lot."

Yun Fuyu held up the novel in her hand: "I suggest you take a look. This novel is about how, if you were to travel back to the early days of the Firemoth, you would try to please Hen and Blanca, how you would get close to them and gain their trust, and how you would climb to a high position step by step..."

Möbius: ? ? ?

She snatched the novel away, glanced at the outline and table of contents, and immediately rolled her eyes in fury! Damn it, how did this kind of thing get into the library?!

"*Mu Dalu swears!* I'm going to ban this book right now and lock the author up in the deepest place!"

He confiscated the book on the spot, then angrily shoveled down a couple of mouthfuls of rice before looking up at Yun Fuyu and saying, "Why did I come to you? Because you are the third person who isn't afraid of me... not counting the one who was scared that night, I'm talking about how he treats me on a daily basis."

She pouted and said, "Look, there's definitely a five-meter vacuum zone around me, but you don't care at all. You just eat as usual, and you even have the nerve to annoy me."

Although Yun Fuyu didn't give Mebius a friendly look and always had a blank expression, his behavior of not running away and even having the energy to argue back was already worlds apart from others.

Incidentally, the so-called "you are the third person who is not afraid of me" refers to Alicia as the first and May as the second. Blanca also felt a bit of awe, as for Klein... Yun Fuyu stated that he had never heard of this person in the Fire Moth before.

Could it be that Blanca resigned this time, and then he was put in charge?

Yun Fuyu: "That's true, I'm not really afraid of you. So? Cause and effect? ​​What's the next line?"

Möbius: "...Yeah, in the end, you're pretty boring too."

Although Yun Fuyu wasn't afraid of her, this guy neither liked chatting with her nor said anything nice; he was just as boring as everyone else.

Just as Mebius was about to take the food back, Yun Fuyu suddenly spoke up.

"Dr. Mebius, I heard that you and Dr. May are working together on a project called 'Fusion Warrior'?"

"..."

Mebius turned around, his gaze sharp as a knife: "How did you know? Mebius isn't that stupid; he wouldn't tell you this."

Fusion Warriors are created by injecting the genes of Honkai Beasts into a human body and fusing them, allowing the human to manipulate Honkai energy and various special powers. However, this project is still in the early stages of animal testing, and Yun Fuyu's identity should not be known—to be honest, only four people currently know the term 'Fusion Warrior': Mei, Mebius, Kevin, and Blanca.

Yun Fuyu remained expressionless: "I overheard Mei and Kevin talking. It was the day Kevin took me from your lab, when they thought I was still asleep."

Möbius was skeptical but had no interest in verifying it with Mei. The reason this matter was kept secret was to prevent the general public from perceiving that the human gene pool had been contaminated, potentially causing chaos. However, Yun Fuyu didn't seem to object; if she knew, she knew.

"This matter must not be spoken carelessly."

Mebius casually remarked, and Yun Fuyu nodded, then said, "What I mean is, how about I reserve a volunteer spot?... Wait, don't look at me like that, I'm not crazy."

He pondered for a moment, then sighed, "I dreamt of Seele yesterday. She always seems so real in my dreams, making me afraid to confront the truth. But I know that a dream is just a dream. What I want more now is to acquire great power, the power to truly control my own destiny."

As for the extremely high mortality rate... well, firstly, his talent is indeed very good, and secondly, Mebius will definitely prepare carefully. As long as he's not forced into it like Kevin, he thinks there's at least a 50% chance of success.

Having lived an extra life, who doesn't dream of being the protagonist? He took the gamble.
