Transform into Ruan Mei and start from the battlefield of national destiny

With the injection of Honkai energy, purple patterns began to appear on the surface of the metal cube, flickering on and off, as if it were breathing.

Chapter 19: Fire Moth

Collapse, an unknown catastrophic phenomenon, did not attract much attention when it first came into the sight of high-level human beings.

Because although the collapse at that time would cause various phenomena that could not be explained by science for the time being, such as transforming people into zombies, or the appearance of small-scale Honkai beasts, or the incurable Honkai disease, these were just minor incidents.

Measuring the severity of a disaster is nothing more than calculating casualties and property losses. From this perspective, the number of people killed and the property lost due to collapse are just a short and pitiful number on the statistical page.

For this purpose, the United Nations has set up a special office for Honkai Impact 3, which shows that it attaches enough importance to this small disaster.

However, with the development of science and technology, especially after Mobius created the World Serpent, the characteristic of Honkai that it becomes stronger with the development of civilization was revealed, and small-scale Honkai disasters began to occur around the world. Only then did the top human leaders face up to this unknown disaster.

People with insight have suggested that we should be vigilant against Honkai and establish a real Honkai department, rather than an office affiliated with the United Nations. This department should be given certain powers to investigate Honkai disasters around the world.

The top management has reached a consensus on this point. However, due to internal power struggles and the fact that every top management wants to get a piece of the pie, the progress of the organization's establishment is very slow. The carnivores quarrel in the conference hall all day long over trivial issues of interest.

Finally, the first major collapse broke out.

When the senior executives heard the news, they were all stunned, and the subsequent investigation left everyone speechless.

The destructiveness of the collapse far exceeded everyone's expectations. In just one hour, an entire city was destroyed, leaving ruins everywhere. To this day, huge white monsters are still wandering around the city.

These monsters are invulnerable to weapons and only heavy firepower can barely inflict any damage on them. It can be said that this city is completely worthless to rebuild - the cost and reward are too disproportionate.

The information learned from eyewitnesses was even more horrifying.

Tanks, planes, and fleets, originally weapons of mankind, have become minions of the collapse. Beyond that, the most terrifying thing is the giant winged snake whose body is large enough to cover the sky. According to eyewitnesses, the fire that attracted the attention of the whole world that day was the explosion caused by the giant snake!

"Whether anyone here has any questions or not, this proposal must be passed today!" In the conference room, the Speaker of the United Nations showed a tough attitude for the first time and passed the proposal that had been discussed for several years.

Thus, an organization to fight against Honkai was officially born. Since it was based on the United Nations' Anti-Honkai Office, this organization adopted the name and emblem of the office, that is, the Fire Moth.

The management of the Fire Moth is the responsibility of the parliament established within the Fire Moth. The parliament adopts a democratic voting system and has multiple members, but no speaker.

The lack of a speaker means that the Fire Moth cannot make decisions immediately when faced with emergencies, but this is the result of compromise among all parties. After all, no one is willing to hand over power to their political opponents.

I'm afraid that in their eyes, making such a decision is already a form of self-sacrifice.

After the upper layer is built, the next step is the structure of the lower layer, or more precisely, the personnel. A new organization, of course, needs to absorb a certain number of personnel, and since it is an organization against collapse, analyzing collapse is as important as preventing collapse.

When it comes to analysis and scientific research capabilities, who else can you think of?

An invitation letter arrived at the World Serpent Headquarters along with a Fire Moth agent.

"Fire Moth?" Mobius, wearing a white coat and with dark circles under his eyes, picked up the invitation letter handed to him. His expression was so gloomy that the air around him seemed to drop several degrees.

"Yes, we, the Fire Moth, sincerely invite you to join us. Your participation will be of great benefit to our cause of fighting the collapse." He said the word "sincerely", but there was no sincerity on his face.

It is easy to understand that when the Fire Moth was just taking shape and the staff was incomplete, the people who could be assigned out must have solid background connections.

It can only be said that this is the case with people with connections. Moreover, he is quite confident that Mebius will definitely join the Fire Moths. After all, everyone knows that Mebius is an expert in the field of biology, and many phenomena caused by the Honkai happen to be closely related to biology.

Unexpectedly, Mebius's response was: "I refuse. I am not interested in you. Don't bother me in the future."

The Fire Moth? With that huge symbol on the invitation, did I really think I couldn't see it or remember it? Isn't that the organization that was plotting against Alicia? And they wanted to invite me to join?

As for the Honkai, it's hilarious. Who doesn't have Honkai materials? Have you seen that Herrscher Gem? Oh, you really don't seem to know about it. With the Herrscher Gem, who cares about a mere Honkai beast body?

Although he felt mixed emotions about Ruan Mei sending him the Herrscher Gem, Mebius was indeed immersed in the study of the gem these days.

While studying the gem, he gritted his teeth at Ruan Mei, and then added a little gratitude that almost made his eyes wet.

All kinds of complicated emotions mixed together made Mebius in a very bad mood.

Therefore, when someone from the Fire Moths came and said in a threatening tone, "Dr. Mobius, you'd better think carefully. You can't join the Fire Moths just because you want to."

Mebius's expression completely sank. She threw the invitation directly at the agent's face, then pointed at the agent who stood up angrily and said, "Get out of here with the invitation!"

A captivating feeling emanated from Mobius's emerald green eyes, causing the agent, who was originally scowling, to shudder.

He forced himself to suppress his anger, said "OK" three times, and left with the invitation. His angry look made the World Snake employees who didn't know what was going on very curious.

"Doctor, please have a drink of water." Klein walked in at this time with a cup of tea.

Mebius silently picked up the teacup, the curling steam filling her tired eyes. She took a deep breath, her chest surging with waves. "Klein."

"PhD?"

"Give the order, from now on, anyone who sees the Fire Moth should be stopped at the company gate and no one should be allowed in." said Mebius.

"Okay, Doctor." Klein nodded.

Chapter 20 Tough Measures

In the new headquarters of Fire Moth, inside a luxuriously decorated office.

"You can't even complete such a simple task, and you still have the nerve to come back to see me?" The owner of the office, a gray-haired gentleman, looked at the young man standing in front of him with a cold face. His tone was stern, with the majesty of someone who had been in a high position for a long time.

If his former subordinates saw him like this, they would definitely be scared to death. However, the young man in a suit in front of him still looked relatively casual.

"It's okay, second uncle, she's just a good-looking scientist. If she doesn't want to come, then she doesn't have to come." The young man spoke, his tone showing no awareness of the seriousness of the problem.

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to call me second uncle? When I arranged for you to come in, what promise did you make to me? You said that if I tell you to go east, you won't go west. If I tell you to catch shrimp, you won't fish." The old man snorted coldly, looking at the young man in front of him who joined the Fire Moth through connections. If the other party was not his nephew, he would have picked up his crutch and hit him with a stick.

"Uncle, this is not my fault. It was that woman who didn't want to join. She had an expression as if her father had died at that time. After hearing me say the name of the Fire Moth, she directly threw the invitation letter at my face. Look, there are marks on my face." The young man leaned over and pointed at the red marks on his face.

The old man didn't even bother to glance at him. How could he not know what kind of character his nephew was? He had sent him to invite Mebius this time, thinking it was a trivial matter, but he hadn't expected such a big deal to happen.

"Okay, I still have a position in logistics procurement here. You can go to logistics from now on." The old man waved his hand, signaling the young man to get out quickly.

"Okay, second uncle, I knew you would treat me well." The young man left happily. After all, logistics procurement is an extremely lucrative job, and Mr. Smith can make a lot of money again.

After sending the blond young man away, the old man sat back in his chair, his eyes unconsciously drifting to the invitation letter placed on the desk and Mebius' personal information next to it. Looking at the ID photo of this woman who was almost too beautiful, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"Hmph, damn Mebius, he's so ungrateful." The old man cursed, tapping the ground with his crutch.

Small people have small people's worries, and big people have big people's worries.

The young man only needs to go to the World Snake to deliver the invitation, but the old man has a lot more things to consider.

For example, how to keep the chair under your butt.

Inviting Mebius to join the Fire Moths is not that important, but it is also quite significant.

As the saying goes, "If you don't weigh it, it won't weigh 400 grams, but if you weigh it, it won't weigh 1,000 pounds." This is a very appropriate way to describe this matter.

Although Möbius was a gifted biologist, I had the manpower and financial resources to support the Fire Moth, but what was missing? However, this matter could indeed become a point of attack for my political enemies.

After all, it is unacceptable that an organization that was established with the green light failed to invite the most talented biologist of this era.

In the old man's eyes, inviting Mobius was a sure thing. Not to mention that the Fire Moth offered Mobius extremely generous conditions, just talking about Mobius's identity.

the scientist.

It sounds lofty, but can a scientist stand up to the government? Can a scientist stand up to the country?

This is an opportunity to enter the system, get promoted and make money, power, who doesn’t want it?

But Mebius actually refused directly. What a foolish woman who didn't know what was good for her.

Although he thought so in his heart, he still had to do what he had to do. He couldn't leave any handle for his political opponents. Those jackals were coveting the position of Congressman Fire Moth.

The old man picked up Mebius's file, glanced through it roughly, and his gaze suddenly stopped. An idea emerged in his mind - since he doesn't want to drink the toast, he might as well drink the penalty wine.

Don't get me wrong, the old man is not planning to attack Mebius. After all, Mebius's current status is still there, and those big capitalists are reluctant to let this cash cow fall. Besides, attacking Mebius is also equivalent to giving a handle to political opponents, right?

What the old man cared about was Mebius's upbringing, or more precisely, his family status.

Apart from his mother who died in childbirth and his father who died of Honkai disease after Mebius ran away from home, he has no other blood relatives, but this does not mean that Mebius has no family.

After Mebius ran away from home, she was adopted by a woman named Ruan Mei and had a large family. According to the files, Mebius cared very much about his nominal adoptive mother. Not only would he go home to reunite with her during the holidays, but he also often transferred money to her bank account.

There is no doubt that this woman named Ruan Mei is Mebius's weak point, and compared to Mebius, her adoptive mother has no identity worth paying attention to, so there is no cost at all to touch her.

Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but curl his knuckles and knocked on the table. After a moment, he picked up the phone on the table and said, "John, come over here."

Half a minute later, a young man knocked on the door, then pushed it open and walked into the office.

"Mr. Preston, are you looking for me?" the young man asked the old man respectfully.

"I heard that you were in charge of a bunch of shady people before." Preston asked casually.

"Yes, sir, they have now joined the Fire Moth as a secret force, and the proposed code name is Poison Pupa." John was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Preston brought up this matter, but he still answered honestly.

"Poison Pupa... nice name." Preston nodded and picked up a file.

John took the file swiftly, and after seeing the ID photo on the file, there was a flash of obvious surprise in his eyes.

Preston: "I need you to do something for me."

John: "Please go ahead."

"I want you to investigate someone and then invite her out for a drink," Preston said slowly.

"You mean, Mebius?!" John was shocked.

"No, no, no, how could I possibly lay hands on our cash cow?" Preston shook his head. Yes, he actually had some shares in World Serpent and was also counting on Mebius to make money.

"Look down there. Do you see her family situation?" Preston said.

"what do you mean?"

"Mebius is unwilling to join the Fire Moths, and I need her to join them, so the target I want you to attack is her adoptive mother."

"Yes, I understand."

"Remember, I'm just inviting her for a drink, not to offend Mebius, so don't make things complicated." Preston narrowed his eyes and warned.

"I understand, sir." John stood up straight.

"Very good, go down." Preston waved his hand.

When the office door closed, Preston stood up, picked up a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet next to him, poured himself a small glass, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window with the crystal goblet, looking down at the bustling street, giving people the illusion of being beyond the mundane.

Preston liked this illusion very much because it made him feel that he was indeed one of the most superior people.

"Mebius, I will make you understand what it means that the people should not fight against the officials."

Chapter 21 Star, Robin

"Mom, how long will it take this time?" Xing floated in the glass culture chamber, looking at Ruan Mei's back outside the glass through the clear liquid.

Although the bubbling liquid flooded her mouth and nose, her breathing and speaking were not affected at all. Even the transmission of sound was no different from that in the air.

Xing didn't feel strange because she had experienced such scenes many times before.

The interference of an unknown force, while granting Xing sentient beings and returning her to her childhood, also erased the memories of her past physical body.

Like a baby bird, it naturally regards the first person it sees as its mother and calls her "Mom".

Then, Xing saw a hint of helplessness on the face of that cold, aloof and extremely beautiful lady.

Ruan Mei did not expect that her creation would suddenly gain consciousness. She created Galaxy Batman only to advance her own experiment.

Therefore, at the beginning of the design, Ruan Mei did not give Galaxy Stick Man consciousness. At that time, Galaxy Stick Man looked like a lively human being on the surface, but in fact, he was no different from the earliest AI.

It's just pure consumables, a pile of flesh and blood, not even as good as a single-celled organism.

Therefore, when Xing opened her mouth and called her mother, Ruan Mei was indeed stunned. After all, from the perspective of the creator and the created, Xing was indeed qualified to call herself mother.

This was the first time I had this experience. The lives I had created in the past mostly treated Ruan Mei as a creator, with great respect and love, just like the friends of Mao Mao Gao Ram, or Hor Haiya.

In the childhood star's expectant eyes, Ruan Mei pursed her lips slightly, and countless memories flashed through her mind, so many memories, of past lives, of this life, of lying in bed, of standing in front of the test bench, of feeling despair, of feeling confused...

She closed her eyes, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised, and a gentle smile bloomed on her indifferent face.

Ruan Mei responded.

She took off her gloves, revealing her flawless white left hand, and gently stroked Xing's cheek, bringing a cool and reassuring touch.

The light blue glow that lit up checked Xing's vital signs, analyzed her life structure, and also symbolized the beginning of all fate.

Since I have accepted this title, I naturally have to take on this responsibility.

Whether from the perspective of mother and child or from the perspective of researcher and experimental variables, Ruan Mei should care about the stars.
