Kevin: I'm sor-Wait, what did you say?!!

Klein had two communicators: one was a private communicator, and the other was a public notification communicator for the laboratory.

Klein usually in charge of things like work schedules, so it's perfectly normal for Klein to have this communicator; in fact, that's what an assistant should be doing.

Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu, who were in charge of slacking off, and Chen Luo, who was even more of a slacker, were essentially from the heretical path.

"Pretty fast, huh?" Chen Luo muttered after hearing Klein's words.

Needless to say, this unlucky guy rushing to his death is that high-ranking official from earlier.

This person certainly has a lot of power; the fact that a surgery was suddenly inserted into a normal, unchangeable schedule is enough to prove the other party's privilege.

But this person was rather unlucky.

As Chen Luo's assistant, after being notified of the laboratory, Klein should have been the one to inform Chen Luo. However, since Chen Luo was right there, there was no need to inform him. After a while, Mobius, who had not been informed by Klein, came out.

The Mobius communicator has very high privileges; it can receive notifications of any changes to the lab's schedule.

"Let's go, get ready." After resting in the lab for a while, Mobius, whose complexion had returned to normal, said expressionlessly to Chen Luo.

"Okay!" Chen Luo readily agreed.

Ten minutes later, Chen Luo and Mobius and them had completed the pre-event disinfection and sterilization preparations.

And Chen Luo's Cannon Fodder No. 1, who used to sit arrogantly behind his desk as a high-ranking member of the Fire Moth, is now lying obediently on the operating table.

"Master, are you sure you don't want to use anesthesia?"

"Don't call me master, call me sir. What are you, an old man, calling me master?" Chen Luo said irritably.

Chen Luo felt strange being called "master" by a middle-aged man.

"Sir, are you sure you don't want to use anesthesia?"

"Stop with all this nonsense. He who kills will be killed in return, understand?"

Although the other party has indeed become Chen Luo's puppet, he is still the same bastard who always wanted to control Chen Luo's life and death.

Although Chen Luo's power can reshape the soul of another person, Chen Luo has not yet used this function.

So the other party is still the same person.

Besides, although Chen Luo's anger had indeed subsided, Mobius's anger didn't seem to have subsided yet.

Chen Luo always believed that turning the other person into his puppet would erase all debts, and at most he could use the other person as a suicide bomber to blow him up dozens of times.

"Shut him up," Mobius said, picking up the scalpel.

"Oh." Chen Luo nodded, then stripped the other party of their ability to move, but preserved their sense of pain.

"Your Destiny Ability allows you to see the other person's success rate, right? What is their success rate?"

"To be precise, my ability is not to see the success rate, but to see whether it can succeed. It's like if one out of 10,000 bottles of water contains poison, I can see which one it is—that's an objective fact. But you can't say that my ability is to determine which bottle of water contains poison."

"By the way, the gene sample you chose has absolutely no chance of success, at least not before the first death," Chen Luo added.

"Nonsense, if it were successful, I wouldn't be performing the fusion surgery on him," Mobius said.

"..." Chen Luo looked at his Cannon Fodder No. 1 with a pitiful look.

Rest in peace.

As Chen Luo had predicted, things had indeed progressed as follows. At least three fusion surgeries had been performed, and the unfortunate Cannon Fodder No. 1 had died three times already, yet the opponent still hadn't accumulated enough Honkai Beasts genetic adaptability.

Cannon Fodder No. 1 had the physical attributes of an ordinary person, so after spending some time with him, Chen Luo was able to see his fate clearly.

At least for the short term, their fate is now clear.

Six times, the opponent needs to die six times.

The only thing that made Chen Luo feel somewhat gratified was that his strength was too low, so the cost of reviving him was extremely low.

Just as Chen Luo and Mobius were performing surgery on Cannon Fodder No. 1's secretary Killer No. 1, also used Cannon Fodder No. 1's privileges to post the facts that had been investigated and the subsequent policies on the internal network of Fire Moth.

"What? This method that allows people who have failed fusion surgery to survive was actually used by Luo?" Cang Xuan said in surprise as he looked at the announcement posted on the intranet.

"What? Luo is actually a survivor after the city was wiped out because of the Sixth Herrscher? Just as I guessed, Luo's background is really too tragic." Danzhu said with some sadness.

This identity announcement was not published in the official announcement; it was sent privately to the Mei Biu Si Laboratory.

Clearly, Cang Xuan and Danzhu have slightly different focuses.

"Because I survived the Sixth Herrscher incident, I gained a special ability. I can use this special ability to reduce the activity of Honkai Beast Factor in the bodies of people who are about to die after a failed fusion surgery and inject life force to keep them alive..." Klein looked at the explanation in the announcement and fell into deep thought.

It's amazing that they could come up with such a reason.

The Sixth Herrscher the Herrscher of Death; its power lies in creation and decay.

From a purely rational perspective, if someone truly possessed such a special ability, it wouldn't be impossible for them to ensure the survival of someone whose fusion surgery had failed.

"But what's the deal with that identity?" Klein was curious about the emergence of this identity.

After all, Klein knew perfectly well that Chen Luo was someone who came from Different World.

"If that's the case, then people who undergo fusion surgery in the future won't be in mortal danger, right?" Danzhu said.

"Idiot, didn't you see? The notice also says that this ability cannot be used frequently, so the number of slots for Luo to undergo fusion surgery is limited, and there is no guarantee of success." Cang Xuan pointed to a spot in the notice and said.

"I see... that makes sense." Danzhu sighed.

"It's just a pity that Luo has to have surgery every day."

Moreover, if the fusion surgery fails to save the volunteer, the guilt after the failure can be so severe that they need to see a psychologist.

Chapter 422 Kevin: I'm sorry... wait, what did you say?!

Killer No. 1: [Sir, the notification has been sent out.]

Oh? Send me a copy.

Chen Luo, who was performing surgery on Cannon Fodder No. 1, suddenly received a message.

A message from Cannon Fodder No. 1's secretary, Killer No. 1.

Besides being a shrewd and capable secretary, Killer No. 1 is also quite strong in his own right. I wonder where this Cannon Fodder No. 1 was recruited from.

Chen Luo suspected that this Killer No. 1, with the body of an ordinary person, could possibly kill an ordinary Flame-Chaser.

This refers to the Flame-Chaser, not the Flame-Chasers.

In reality, most Flame-Chaser aren't that abnormally strong; they represent the peak of an ordinary soldier's abilities after hard work.

Kevin is the exception.

[Are you just saying I was the one who led the surgery?]

Killer Number One: [No, sir, you may not have read carefully. The person who led the surgery is still listed as Mobius in the records, but you are the key to determining whether the other party will die if the surgery fails. After all, you have only just joined the Fire Moth, and it wouldn't be reasonable for you to reveal your high level of fusion surgery skills.]

"Nonsense, I'm in surgery right now, how can I look closely? Just give me the important points." Chen Luo said irritably.

Killer Number One: [Yes, sir. To better explain your identity, we've created a deeper layer of identity for you. This identity is fully real, just slightly modified. Furthermore, based on your preferences and habits, we've added some background details. After all, the fake identity created by Mébius has too many loopholes if someone were to investigate, while this deeper, fabricated identity was only sent to the Mei Biu Si Laboratory. Of course, it won't fool those with ulterior motives.]

Oh, what's your identity?

Killer Number One: [A survivor of the 6th Honkai Outbreak. Due to the influence of the Herrscher of Death, you awakened a small amount of special abilities, which explains your uniqueness without attracting too much attention from other higher-ups of the Fire Moth.]

[The survivors of the 6th Honkai Outbreak... could it be the extinction that occurred because Kevin was too soft-hearted to kill the Sixth Herrscher immediately?]

Killer Number One: [No, that's a different incident. I'm referring to the survivors of the 6th Honkai Outbreak, the Great Honkai that occurred when the Sixth Herrscher was born. Of course, not everyone knows this information, and it's been heavily obscured. Whom to tell this layer of identity is up to you.]

Oh, I understand.

Just like the Third Great Honkai of Changkong City.

[It's quite impressive that you were able to forge an identity in such a short time.]

Assassin Number One: [If one doesn't have enough power, it's impossible to obtain the authority to summon the Master and Mobius amidst the infighting at the higher-ups. While this identity isn't flawless, at this point, practically no one can verify its authenticity.]

[Well done. I initially thought he was just another cannon fodder character.]

Killer Number One: [The power struggles within the upper echelons of the Fire Moth are fierce, with compromises, collaborations, and betrayals occurring frequently... Special cases like this, where someone survives a failed fusion surgery, can be used as a "strategic weapon." Gaining dominance in such situations is truly difficult.]

From this perspective, although Mei's influence within the Fire Moth is gradually expanding, she is still no match for this Cannon Fodder No. 1.

Mei truly became the leader of the Fire Moth relatively late in life.

"Chen Luo, your hands are shaking," Mobius suddenly said.

"Huh?" Chen Luo was stunned for a moment, then looked down and saw that Cannon Fodder No. 1 was beyond saving again.

"This is the sixth time, right? It should have been successful by now... Fine, let's try one more time." Looking at the Cannon Fodder No. 1, whose surgery had failed and was gradually becoming distorted, Chen Luo directly forced its death and resurrected it.

Although Chen Luo was indeed distracted, leading to the failure of the experiment, there was still some good news.

The good news is that it turns out that Fate Threads can indeed be changed.

If Chen Luo concentrates on performing the surgery, the patient can succeed. However, if Chen Luo doesn't concentrate and his hands tremble, the patient will fail.

The fact that the Fate Threads could change this situation is a truly Herrscher of the Heart surprise for Aponia! It means that many things will take a turn for the better...

emmm...

Well, even though it was an excuse, Chen Luo still felt a little heartbroken that he had wasted another batch of Honkai Beasts gene materials and Honkai Crystal.

Moreover, Cannon Fodder No. 1 suffered terribly.

Because the other party felt unjustly afflicted, Chen Luo granted them the power to block out all sensations during the seventh fusion surgery.

This surgery lasted a full hour and a half.

The main reason is that the other party has failed far too many times.

I failed 6 times, wasting half an hour. But because I failed so quickly, it saved me a lot of time.

High emotional intelligence: Saves time.

Low emotional intelligence: They are really terrible; they failed so quickly.

The remaining hour was spent on the surgery, which actually only took half an hour. During the other half hour, Chen Luo and Mobius were slacking off, while Chen Luo observed Mebius's special abilities after he became Flame-Chaser, and also observed how he sealed Mebius's special abilities.

As Chen Luo had suspected, Cannon Fodder No. 1 was indeed a mental fusion type warrior.

It's really asking too much of the opponent to deal with Honkai Beasts with such weak abilities. He should just focus on logistics.

The ability to use mental suggestion is quite suitable for Cannon Fodder No. 1.

The talent level of this ability should be B, but the user is too weak, so the actual effect may only be C.

This ability is really suitable for someone like Cannon Fodder No. 1, who spends his days in office politics and backstabbing.

Then... Chen Luo disabled his skills.

Of course, this is an active seal; it can be lifted immediately if the other party needs it, and can be sealed immediately if they don't need it.

However, Chen Luo did completely seal away the opponent's special Honkai Beasts genes as a Flame-Chaser.

Please, this is a place Fire Moth.

If someone really has Honkai Beasts genes in their body, how long can they keep it a secret?

Moreover, the time the other party can use his abilities is probably running out. Once there are more mental Flame-Chaser, Chen Luo will no longer allow him to use his abilities.

Especially if Chen Luo's guess is correct, it shouldn't be too long before Aponia is captured and Fire Moth.

The original eight Flame-Chaser.

1st place Kevin, 2nd Elysia, 3rd Mobius, 4th place Sakura.

The second batch of Flame-Chaser consisted of Hen, Aponia, Cosmo, and Desdichado. They are listed in no particular order.

Fortunately, there are no mental Flame-Chaser in the first batch of Flame-Chaser, but there are two mental Flame-Chaser the second batch.

Aponia and Desdichado

At least for now, the identity of this cannon fodder number one Flame-Chaser cannot be exposed, so skill sealing is required.

Cannon Fodder No. 1 was taken away in a wheelchair by Killer No. 1, who arrived at the scene. The other party will probably stay in the hospital bed for a few more days to cover their tracks.

"Even someone of this caliber can understand the right to evolve... Chen Luo, why don't you try turning me into a puppet? I want to test whether I can resist this strange power," Mobius suddenly said.

"No, it's too dangerous." Chen Luo shook his head.

"Stop thinking about so many strange things, okay? If you want to do research, why don't you study all that knowledge about the Imaginary Tree and the Sea of Quantum on your own?"
