Collapse, women's clothing strategy Qiyana, then

Upon seeing the captain standing there, the two immediately greeted him politely, but couldn't help feeling puzzled.

What is she doing here?

The doubts lasted only a moment before they stopped worrying about it. They had finally managed to sneak out and were going to take a break.

After watching the two sisters leave, Bai Yancai turned his gaze back to the laboratory entrance.

Time passed slowly, and the corridor was quiet.

"So calm? Is this the advantage of the Herrschers from the previous civilization? Because they lacked humanity, they didn't have the common mistakes that humans make."

Bai Yan muttered something to himself, then raised his hand.

A red feather floats in the palm of your hand.

"Vilvie is really great. Should we make her happy? Hmm, never mind. She'll start causing trouble as soon as I let go. Let's talk about it later."

Sudden.

There was activity in the laboratory.

It sounded like a gasp of surprise.

Bai Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and without making any move, he instantly transformed into a blur.

The door was shattered by an invisible force, as fragile as a piece of chocolate, easily broken.

The gale swept through the narrow space unconsciously, blowing up pieces of debris.

The moment the door burst open, the scene inside the laboratory came into Bai Yan's view.

The scalpel was plunged into Möbius's back, and the latter stared intently at the person holding the scalpel, his emotions reaching the most complex moment of his life in that instant.

Despair? Pain? Or disbelief?

Mebius didn't even move immediately; he was just desperately trying to see the brilliance of Klein's soul deep within his eyes.

Is it really you, Klein?

But Bai Yan ignored all that, grabbed Klein by the neck, and lifted him up.

At this moment, she had already become one of the thousand Herrschers.

Its eyes held no emotion, only the destructive consciousness unique to Honkai.

"Ho! Ah!"

Snapped!

Bai Yan casually slapped it, and the latter immediately tilted its head and fainted.

“Uh, more fragile than I thought,” Bai Yan was taken aback, feeling that this colleague was really not up to par. He then said to Mebius, “I’ve taken the Herrscher with me. Go to the infirmary and get treated.”

Mebius was injured, but not fatally. Given the Honkai Beast genes within her, this level of injury was not a serious problem.

Firstly, her physical condition had improved considerably after the surgery; secondly, Bai Yan's reminder had subconsciously instilled a sense of vigilance in her, even though she didn't believe things would turn out this way.

Bai Yan picked up the body in a princess carry and turned to leave.

A tremendous force immediately came from his shoulder. He turned his head and saw that Mebius was staring intently at him.

She grabbed Bai Yan's shoulders.

"Put Klein down."

"Still in Klein? Do you want me to reveal the truth? It is a Herrscher, the Tenth Herrscher."

Mebius persisted, his voice low and menacing: "Is your Herrscher so frail?"

“Even if he is not a Herrscher, he is still an assassin who attempted murder, and I have the right to take him away for questioning.”

Mebius's snake-like eyes flashed green, and his entire body gradually exuded a terrifying aura.

The power of collapse, human consciousness, a life level beyond that of mortals.

She is on the verge of a man-made collapse.

Seeing this, Bai Yan sneered, "It seems you think your power after your collapse is stronger than that of the Ninth Herrscher, who could easily destroy the continent?"

Möbius grinned maliciously: "How will you know if you don't try?"

"Even if the aftershocks kill this guy?"

"..."

"Let go."

"What exactly are you and May up to?! Why is Klein included in your scheme?! Tell me! Tell me why!"

Mebius suddenly roared, his face turning bright red, and he gripped Bai Yan's shoulder with all his might.

However, the power of collapse completely dissipated, and she remained in human form.

Seeing her hysterical state, Bai Yan remained unmoved.

"The arrival of the Herrscher is not within our control; we merely knew it in advance."

"All of this stems from the arrival of the Honkai disaster. Whoever it falls on will be affected; there is no other way."

“I understand how you feel, but now, apart from this body, Klein is no longer here.”

"The information about the Herrscher is still unclear. Neither I nor Aponia can see through this Herrscher. The situation is more serious than you think."

"If you hope that everything Klein has suffered won't be in vain, you'd better stay vigilant during this time."

Upon hearing this, Mebius gradually loosened his grip on Bai Yan's shoulder.

She gazed into Bai Yan's eyes.

It took Mebius a moment to calm down.

She narrowed her eyes and said, "The tenth Herrscher, is that terrifying?"

"Of course, and Dr. Mei had already begun planning to manufacture that thing after hearing what I said about the possibility."

"In your opinion, you can't handle this Herrscher?"

“I’m not sure right now. You’re aware of the Lawyer’s unusual behavior since the Australian incident,” Bai Yan said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Mebius's eyes blazed with fury.

"Mei actually thought of this step long ago... It seems that her further speculation about Sakura was originally intended to be used this time?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yan immediately frowned and stared at Mebius with a reproachful look.

The latter met his gaze without fear.

"There's no progress at the moment. You'll have to work hard after this, Dr. Möbius."

"If the lab is short-staffed, I can help you find another person, no worse than the previous one."

"Stop pretending!"

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going. This body needs to be taken to Dr. Mei so she can investigate what exactly is going on with this anomaly."

Möbius sneered, "Since you trust her more, then go ahead. Don't bother seeing me out!"

Bai Yan left the Möbius Laboratory and, under the watchful eyes of many onlookers, went straight to Dr. Mei.

Upon seeing him, Dr. May immediately summoned Kevin and had the laboratory door locked.

Klein's body was strapped to the experimental table.

"What's going on?" Mei asked.

"You summoned Kevin again and dismissed everyone else. I thought you understood." Bai Yan raised his eyebrows.

"I just felt that the matter was very big, so I made the safest decision."

“Alright—come on, let’s first remove the Herrscher core from her body and make sure the core is in a dead state.”

Upon hearing this, Dr. Mei's face showed a look of sudden realization.

Despite being completely bewildered, Kevin simply carried the Heavenly Judgment, ready to deal with any unexpected events.

after a while.

"The core is much less noticeable than I imagined," Dr. Mei remarked, gazing at the core within the transparent container.

“Alright, now you can speak,” Bai Yan said quickly. “That day, I used Feather of Dust to take Klein’s consciousness beforehand. But the Thousand Herrschers arrived at such a coincidental time that I had to revise my original battle plan…”

Upon hearing this, Mei opened her eyes wide for the first time, looking quite surprised.

Volume 1: Chapter 178: Kevin was shocked

Mei glanced at the bewildered Kevin and sighed, "What you're saying is tantamount to admitting it outright."

Bai Yan remained expressionless, his palm open, with Yu Duchen floating above it.

"There's nothing left to hide. If things can't be salvaged, the final outcome will only be worse."

"Fine, the next step is to deploy against the Tenth Herrscher. But if others find out the truth, they might turn their anger on you. Is that alright?"

"Many people condemn you for abandoning them, while many more will empathize with you and join the ranks of the former."

Countless people besieged the base of the Fifth Squad of the Fire Moth, clamoring for severe punishment of the Fifth Squad's leader, Fu Yan, while many more ordinary people joined in to show their support...

That scene seemed so close, with the encouragement of a thousand lawmen; it wasn't a delusion, but a possible future.

"Just half an hour after I took away Klein's consciousness, Klein's body awoke again, and she continued to play the role of the same person as before, just like before."

"It is conceivable that the Thousand Law Enforcers have already appeared, but they were deterred by the rumors we deliberately released and the strict secrecy we maintained, and out of caution, they did not take action immediately."

“I was already prepared beforehand—or even if I hadn’t, it wouldn’t have mattered.”

Bai Yan remained calm.

Kevin, who was standing to the side, finally understood their conversation and couldn't help but speak up.

"Why is he being scorned when he was clearly trying to fight the Herrscher?"

"Because we can't protect everyone, and we can't find all the Herrschers this time. Only when those controlled by the Herrschers are exposed can we distinguish the real from the fake. Based on this, Mei and I made advance arrangements, which was to use a sufficiently tempting piece of information to lure the Herrschers here. And this plan is strictly confidential, and ordinary people who get close to this place are destined to be targeted by the Herrschers."

There's a premise to inciting a thousand Lawbringers to attack headquarters.

What kind of person is the best puppet for Qianlu?

Ordinary people who have no connection with the Moths of Fire cannot get close, because they are not even qualified to approach this place.

What about the ordinary people inside the Moth Chasing the Flame?

Bai Yan has already demonstrated that if you dare to impersonate a core member, you will definitely be eliminated immediately.

and so.

The people Qianlu can approach are those who are neither part of the headquarters core nor members of the Moth Chaser.

"So Kevin, you may see your former allies turn their swords against us. And we will have to slaughter them, making the Moths of Fire flow like rivers of blood."

"..."

Kevin looked to May for help, but she shook her head.

When May heard about the plan, she immediately agreed.

"Mei, isn't doing this just sending some people to their deaths?"

"Kevin, when you question the brutality of a plan, have you considered the risks involved compared to a less brutal plan?"

"..."

However, Bai Yan spoke up, but instead of offering advice, it sounded like he was adding fuel to the fire.

"In terms of conspiracy theories, if the Thousand Laws do not exist, my plan is equivalent to eliminating dissidents, because representatives from each continent will become the first target of the Law Masters."

"After this incident, the group will almost be completely reshuffled, which is a heavy blow to the Moth Chaser organization."

"However, I am the only one with free time in this matter, and I am the only culprit. Dr. Mei will not appear in everyone's sight. I will even imply to everyone that I have placed Dr. Mei under house arrest."

At this point, Kevin's pupils dilated dramatically.

He's not stupid. Bai Yan's words were so clear that the implication was obvious.

"Things haven't gotten to that point yet... right?"

"The best time to reform is when reform is least needed."
