The Honkai Simulator is not used to kidnap Herrscher!

"This isn't a question of tacit understanding, but rather how you view Dr. Mobius." Chen Ran paused, then continued, "There are too many geniuses within the Fire Moth, so even if the top management doesn't have this intention, there's still hidden competition within the organization."

"The resources leveraged by the Military God Plan alone cannot satisfy your entire appetite. Although I'm not a genius, I can sense your desires."

"If you want to make further progress, then Mobius must leave this position. To be conservative, this means that the First Research Institute will only be responsible for research."

"I believe in your rationality, but because of that, I also believe that you will do whatever it takes."

After arriving at the First Research Institute, he saw Cang Xuan Dan Zhu still conducting experiments as usual, so he began to doubt MEI.

The Thirteen Heroes of the Fire Moth are not of the same kind.

Mebius also had strong opinions about MEI.

Chen Ran believed that with MEI's rationality, she would definitely restrain her behavior, but in the process of her actions, someone would definitely be hurt.

MEI did not admit its thoughts on Mebius, but certainly did not deny it either.

She simply asked, "If so, which side would you be on?"

"I will instinctively choose the side that makes me feel safer."

Chen Ran didn't hide it and said, "I understand that you want to quickly end the internal friction after taking the leadership, because this is completely in your interest."

"But you'll scare me."

MEI was silent.

In fact, she had no involvement in this matter.

But she is not completely innocent because MEI has such thoughts.

Mobius's wisdom is too dazzling, and coupled with his status as a veteran, the resources of the Fire Moth will naturally tilt towards the First Institute.

These will become reasons for MEI to be hostile to Mebius.

This is what happens when there are too many geniuses and internal competition occurs.

But geniuses have genius methods, and MEI also knows that if he uses underhanded means to mess with others, others will mess with him back. This is a balance, which can also be understood as mutual deterrence between geniuses.

Therefore, she was not involved in this matter. She was just brewing another plan, a plan that could plunder all the resources into her own hands in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, Chen Ran arrived before the plan was implemented.

"I heard that Mebius has a good relationship with you, so it seems that this rumor is true."

MEI looked at Chen Ran, paused, and said, "The First Research Institute will be my next target, but I can promise that I will not threaten anyone's life. Because every person is a valuable resource."

"Throughout North American history, the living conditions of black slaves in the South were actually much better than those of free people in the North. They had everything except freedom." Chen Ran paused and said, "But the abolitionist movement still succeeded. Do you think it was because freedom was more important than survival?"

"Do not."

MEI subconsciously said, "In the genes of living things, survival is the primary power. Otherwise, humans would not have domesticated cats, dogs, cattle, sheep and other livestock. The desire for freedom is actually a desire after the conditions for survival are met."

"That's right. So the Civil War didn't happen during the American Revolutionary War, but in 1860, when basic industrialization had already been completed. The freedom that comes after survival is true freedom."

Chen Ran changed the subject and said, "Your aggressiveness has already threatened my survival."

"I said, I promised not to threaten anyone's life." MEI emphasized again, with anger in his words.

Chen Ran said, "But I can't possibly give you the right to live, just like a black slave wouldn't want to give up the right to live to a farmer. That's human instinct."

"Otherwise, why would humans fight against Honkai?"

He looked at MEI: "So, have you thought it through? Are you on the side of humanity, civilization, or the collapse itself?"

Mei's pupils shrank slightly.

He could sense her wavering stance.

"You've strayed too far from the topic, Chen Ran. We're not discussing this right now." She corrected him forcefully, with a hint of anger in her words.

Chapter 5: Blanca leaves, Kiana arrives at the Fire Moth (k)

When one person in a conversation becomes emotional, the conversation is effectively over.

Naturally, MEI left.

She is not one to let her emotions run wild, as that would reveal her flaws.

Chen Ran rubbed his head and sighed: "I'm still too excited."

He wasn't excited because of Mebius. After all, it wasn't MEI who was going to interrogate Mebius. He just instinctively thought of something else:

In the plot that Chen Ran knew, after the third collapse, MEI joined the Fire Moth.

Three years later, around the time of the sixth collapse, Kevin received news of the assassination attempt on MEI by Poison Pupa, and thus protected MEI. So what exactly did MEI do in the past three years that required the Fire Moth's top brass to resort to such tactics?

He thought that the top management of Fire Moth played some dishonorable role, but now think about it, maybe that's not the case.

Of course, Chen Ran is not someone who would condemn the present based on the future.

He wouldn't be stupid enough to convict MEI now.

However, after the accident of Mebius, he instinctively felt uneasy, and the source of the uneasiness was actually because of MEI.

He knew he was wrong because he had broken the trust between him and MEI.

"Forget it, I have to find a chance to apologize to Mei. I hope she doesn't have the pettiness that ordinary women have."

Chen Ran shook his head and also left the Fire Moth rest area.

He wanted to go to Vilvina.

However, Wei Erwei only replied with four words: "Busy, please don't disturb me."

...

...

At the same time, in the internal meeting room of the Fire Moth.

Mebius narrowed his eyes, as if he was resting and conserving his energy.

Blanca, who had made all the connections, finally met the doctor and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Doctor, are you okay? No one did anything to you."

"Hmph, what can they do to me? They are just a bunch of cowards who follow the rules."

There was a hint of disdain in Mebius' tone. Blanca said with a slight embarrassment, "Doctor, this is the meeting room of the Fire Moth."

"So what?"

"Generally, conference rooms will have surveillance cameras to facilitate access to information."

"Then pretend I never said anything."

Mebius is not someone who would fight tough, and of course, she would not admit defeat if asked to do so.

She paused and said, "Since you are here, does that mean I can leave now?"

"Yes, the top management had no plans to deal with the doctor." Blanca breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's go."

"Hmph, no plan, that's a warning to me."

This beautiful snake doctor is not a scholar with zero knowledge of politics. There are some things that she naturally notices are wrong.

There are actually factions within the Fire Moths as well.

The elder faction represented by her and the director of the Fifth Institute, Spasi, once controlled most of the resources of the Fire Moth.

At that time, Mobius enjoyed the highest treatment and privileges, but of course, they also had to bear many responsibilities. At that time, the Fire Moths, although a frontline organization against the Honkai, were essentially harmless.

But later, as more and more new people joined the Fire Moth, the voice of the veteran faction was correspondingly reduced.

Instead, there are hawks who are more radical than the veterans and doves who are more conservative in their strategies.

The hawks advocate mobilizing all forces to eliminate Honkai Impact 3, while the doves are different. They think Honkai Impact 3 is a subject worth studying and can bring greater benefits to people.

The elders never had any hawkish or dovish views, and their voice naturally waned. Until now, the institute's sole responsibility was research, but because of his elder status, Mebius still received a significant share of resources.

She also enjoys a life devoted solely to research.

Ultimately, Mebius is a woman without a desire for power.

But now, she felt threatened.

Mobius admitted that the most important reason for his investigation was because his behavior touched upon taboos, but at least it now showed that the top management of the Fire Moth was no longer so dependent on the First Research Institute.

"Forget it, a warning is enough. With the intelligence of those people, they have no idea what I am going to do."

"Blanca, prepare..."

At this moment, Mebius saw Blanca hesitate to speak.

"what happened to you?"

Blanca hesitated and said, "Doctor, I mentioned to you before that I want to leave the First Institute."

"The new assistant, Klein, is already capable of handling many of the tasks. I've already handed him over."

Mebius' pupils shrank slightly.

"Have you thought it through?" She paused, then said, "When you follow me, you can't possibly be unaware of the brilliance of the mystery we're glimpsing."

Blanca said firmly, "But knowing this makes me want to leave even more. Doctor, compared to the infinite you are chasing, I still hope to be an ordinary person."

"Just for that man?"

"And Grace," Blanca added.

As an assistant beside Mebius, Blanca naturally knew what Mebius was doing.

The so-called infinity is essentially the evolution of life beyond nature and its special continuation.

She admired Mebius's research methods and wisdom, but was afraid to join him.

The fear of becoming an alien made Blanca determined to leave here.

She and Mebius pursue different things.

She has a husband and daughter whom she loves dearly.

Compared to Mebius's pursuit of infinity, she only wanted an ordinary life. She had mentioned this to Mebius before.

But Mebius just asked her to think it over carefully.

Mebius was too proud. She had thought that a researcher could not resist the temptation of "infinity".

She looked at Blanca carefully and said, "Blanca, have you really thought it through?"

"Doctor, I've made up my mind."

"That's it." Mebius was a nostalgic person, but that didn't mean she would try to keep him.

She said, "Since you can't understand my pursuit, and I can't understand yours, let's part ways amicably. You can bring Grace to the First Research Institute often in the future. I like that child very much."

Hearing Mebius's permission, Blanca subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really worried that Mebius would be tough and not let her go, but Mebius was gentler than she expected.

She smiled and said, "Doctor, you like children so much, have you ever considered adopting one or giving birth to one yourself?"

"I'm not like you, who would give up everything for a man." She paused, but still didn't insist: "If the conditions are right, I will consider it."

Blanca was slightly stunned.

Because this was not the first time she asked Mebius such a question, but Mebius had always denied it.

And now, Mebius relented.

Blanca blinked and said, "It looks like Gresh will have a brother or sister soon."

...

...

Chen Ran returned to the First Research Institute again.

However, when he came back, he found that the entire institute was filled with an awkward atmosphere.

"Due to personal reasons, I have resigned from my position as an assistant at the First Research Institute. Klein will take over my position and assist the doctor with his work."

Blanca looked at Chen Ran who pushed the door open, smiled, and said, "Chen Ran, you're just in time."

"You're considered a veteran of the First Research Institute. If Klein doesn't understand some of the work later, I'll need to trouble you."

Chen Ran looked over and saw Klein lowering his head. He said to Chen Ran, "Please give me more guidance in the future, Senior Chen Ran."
