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

……

The first step to accomplishing this plan was to lure Vilvie into becoming an accomplice.

As you all probably already know, having Velvi in ​​charge of the props for the social gathering was both a perfect and a terrible idea. When Mebius tempted her with the task of handling the props, Velvi's mind was already racing with countless "good" ideas, including "self-service fireworks machines, rainbow-colored purified water, lively little cakes, celebratory barrels of spirits, earth-shattering weather cannons, and nitrous oxide dry ice..."

That was a perfect opportunity for her to showcase her talents! As for the ordinary people who got scammed, they can only blame themselves for not being mentally strong enough!

...Well, in that case, they should thank Ms. Wilwy for kindly training their courage!

Suppressing her anticipation, the great magician Velvet looked doubtful: "Mébius, how can you be so at ease?"

Velvi isn't stupid. Although she thinks her designs are exceptionally brilliant, she also knows how much trouble others find her designs.

Mebius smiled charmingly: "Just make me a few props. As for this social gathering... humph, I didn't actually want to attend at all; it was Mebius who forced me to agree. Even if you make a mess of the place, what does that have to do with me?"

Baiwei Weiwei swallowed hard: "Alright, in the entire Firemoth, I only admire you and Mei—Mei is more ruthless than me, and you are more unreliable than me."

Yes, in Vervière's heart, May was the ruthless one. Möbius was only superficially unruly and rumored to be disregarding human life, but May was... ruthless in that she completely suppressed her emotions, used the most rational attitude to find the most reasonable way, and treated herself and everything in the world as "objective things".

Hearing Wilvi's praise, which wasn't exactly a compliment, Möbius suddenly remembered the purple-haired girl from many years ago—back then, Möbius was still very young, easily shy and excited, harboring feelings for someone but stammering and not daring to express them.

But now, Mei is a 'decision-maker' whom even Mebius and Vervière, whom outsiders consider 'crazy,' have to treat with respect.

After a silent sigh, Mebius came to his senses and explained to Vervie the tools he needed.

"First of all, you've prepared all the necessary items for a normal social gathering. While I can take the blame for you, I don't want to take the blame for anything unnecessary."

The great magician Velvet patted his chest with a "Duang~Duang~" sound, indicating to Mebius that he could rest assured!

Möbius: "Next are the items I need. They're not too difficult, but there are some details you need to remember: First, two items that can block other people's electronic signals. The more concealed the better, and they absolutely cannot be detected by Honkai energy. Second, I need a trap that can trap other people. Give me some ideas. Make sure the space inside the trap is large enough and the more stable the better. In addition, I need to put some 'little surprises' inside the trap. You have to prepare a back door for me."

Expert Wilvi thought carefully: "...Generally speaking, there are no problems. Signal jamming is the easiest to do. As for traps... you'd better tell me who you want to trap so I can assess their strength."

Möbius: "The Lawgiver".

Grand Magician Velvey: "Huh? A Herrscher?? Am I crazy or are you crazy?"

Möbius: "Don't worry, as long as we can trap them, the standard will be set at... 800HW or more. There aren't many people in the entire Firemoth that can reach that."

Velvi: "It's a bit challenging, but no problem, I already have a good idea! This way, the trap's applicability is limited, ideally in confined spaces like rooms or caves, but its strength can be further increased. What do you think?"

Möbius pondered for a moment, then nodded in satisfaction: "Pleasant to cooperate."

Vilvi, her hands itching to get involved, asked curiously before leaving, "May I ask, who are you planning to scam?"

Möbius sneered: "I'm helping him."

Baiwei Weierwei muttered under her breath, "Whose helper is smiling so villainously..."

The snake's voice echoed eerily: "I heard you."

"Croak!..."

Actually, the two of them get along quite well. At least, Mebius indicated that she (or perhaps?) prefers Velvi a little more than Alicia.

A few days later, Mebius received the answer sheet submitted by Velvet. She smiled slyly, her serpentine gaze seemingly piercing through the thick walls of the research institute, coldly piercing the eyes of the two actors who were addicted to their performances.

Hmph, you little guinea pigs, obediently become my toys~

Klein, who was always next to Möbius, suddenly shivered and began to wonder if he had forgotten to update the weather forecast.

……

It is worth mentioning the specific content of the meeting convened by May earlier.

In addition to the known Fusion Warrior Volunteer Program and the Fire Chaser Association, there is another matter with a relatively greater impact—the jurisdiction garrison plan.

In simple terms, it involves sending well-known "special operations teams" to the centers of various continents to maintain control and take over certain political affairs. Seriously, this is a prelude to a moth drawn to a flame encroaching on the power of the United Nations and gradually becoming a world leader, and it should not be underestimated.

On the other hand, the recurring Honkai and the disasters befell the Herrschers have caused widespread panic around the world. As the only "official, special force, and military-controlled organization," the Flame Chaser naturally has an obligation to protect the people.

(P.S. There's another special organization called Poison Chrysalis, where Sakura spent a long time. Before the Sixth Herrscher descended, Sakura was ordered to assassinate Mei, but Kevin stopped her. Later, persuaded by Mei, she joined the Fire Moth. At this point, her identity leans towards being Mei's black glove.)

Due to various reasons, the garrison plan is something that must be developed and implemented. What hasn't been discussed yet is where the garrison areas for each squad will be located.

Mei's inclination was for the first squad to remain on the continent of Mu to receive orders, the third squad to be stationed in the Americas, the fifth squad to be stationed in Australia, and so on. Anyone could come up with a whole host of reasons for this, so there was no need to take them seriously. If nothing unexpected happened, Mei's plan would essentially be the next decision for the Fire Moths.

Therefore, the "major change" that Kosmo had vaguely sensed before refers to this matter.

Hen had received a private message from Mei that she was preparing to send her third squad to the Americas.

Thinking about it carefully, it's not all bad. Blanca can find a relaxed job in America, and Kosmo and Desdobia have already established a foothold there. The only worry is that Gretchen is still young and might not adapt well to life in other places.

Another thorny issue is Yun Fuyu, who is currently officially affiliated with the Third Squad. He seems to have no inhibitions and goes wherever he wants, having almost no connection with the Third Squad except when on missions.

Xier's fifth squad may go to Australia again. What arrangements will they make for Yun Fuyu?
