Kevin Offered Me Too Much

Chen Luo truly didn't understand Mobius's thought process, but Chen Luo also wouldn't accept turning the people closest to him into puppets.

Unless the other party's life is in danger.

Putting aside the others, Mobius is actually not in any real danger in this world. She has the ability to resurrect herself, which makes her the most survivable of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers. If she doesn't want to die, no one can kill Mobius.

Therefore, Chen Luo would not agree with Mobius's suicidal idea.

"Alo, I think I sense Hua's presence. I want to go check it out." Just as Chen Luo and Mobius finished their surgery and were about to return to Mei Biu Si Laboratory, the voice of the Herrscher of Knowledge suddenly rang out.

"Oh? So you've already made your choice: be the immature Hua's Fantasy Friend or the old lady in the ring? I haven't even forged an identity for you yet," Chen Luo asked.

"You're the old lady, your whole family are old ladies! Cough cough, I'm just thinking of giving it a try now. Anyway, trying it doesn't cost any money." The Herrscher of Knowledge said from inside Chen Luo's sea of consciousness.

"So, what image do you plan to present to the other person? Or rather, what image do you plan to present in their imagination?" Chen Luo asked.

"I haven't decided yet. Anyway, looking exactly like her is not an option, otherwise wouldn't that be like having a split personality? How about... using your image?" The Herrscher of Knowledge asked tentatively.

"No way, I'm not familiar with her at all now." Chen Luo shook his head.

"Actually, you could try using a mini Fu Hua, which is about the size of Armed Puppet."

"Or we could try Little Aili, since Elysia is very popular among the Fire Moth."

"Or maybe it's Little Eden. If I remember correctly, Hua saved Eden during the Seventh Herrscher incident."

"Or we could try Himiko, who could help Fu Hua alleviate her inner demons."

"... I am the demon in my heart. How can I alleviate the demon in my heart? By alleviating myself?"

"Since there are so many choices, anything goes. You can even become a little Chi Yuan."

"Hmm... Anyway, I'll first delve into the gaps in their mind and sea of consciousness to see their current state." Because there were too many options, Herrscher of Knowledge was a little undecided for a moment.

"Is it okay for you to go alone?"

"Who am I? I am the Herrscher of Knowledge, how could I not be? Don't worry, I won't be discovered." The Herrscher of Knowledge waved her hand and flew out of Chen Luo's body, turning into a wisp of black smoke that ordinary people could not see.

The wisp of black smoke hovered above Chen Luo's head for a while, then hovered above Mobius's head for a while before flying away into the distance and disappearing from Chen Luo's sight.

As the other bird hovered over Mobius's head, Mobius frowned, sensing something different, but couldn't quite place it.

Watching his companions leave him one by one, Chen Luo felt a little lonely.

The Herrscher of Knowledge went off to nurture her Hua, and Sirin and the others couldn't follow.

Well...

However, Chen Luo couldn't keep the Herrscher of Knowledge in his sea of consciousness forever. After all, although the sea of consciousness was vast, it was indeed boring, and the Herrscher of Knowledge didn't like reading.

It was already quite a lot of trouble for her to accompany me during my surgery, which took so long.

As for the safety of the Herrscher of Knowledge, Chen Luo did not consider it. After all, Chen Luo really did not think that anyone in this world could harm the Herrscher of Knowledge.

The ability of inner demons to conceal themselves is quite strong; otherwise, they wouldn't be considered the most difficult to deal with by cultivators.

This is especially true for someone like Hua, who already has certain emotions brewing in his heart.

"Luo, you're back. I didn't expect you to be hiding this so well. You actually have a special ability that you didn't tell us?" After Chen Luo and Mobius returned to the laboratory, Danzhu saw Chen Luo from afar and raised his hand. When Chen Luo came over, he slapped Chen Luo on the back.

"Um... wasn't this something Doctor Mobius told me to keep a secret?" Chen Luo said weakly.

Well, actually, it's because Chen Luo didn't know they would come up with such a reason before.

I must say, that's a pretty good excuse.

The fact that the deceased cannot testify can also explain the origin of special abilities.

After all, even the Sixth Herrscher doesn't know how many people she has killed.

With the power of the Sixth Herrscher, even a slight scattering of Black Mist can cause the deaths of tens of thousands of people.

Do you... remember how many slices of bread you've eaten?

"Alright, I understand. Oh, by the way, Dr. Mei is here. She also brought the first Flame-Chaser, Kevin, who's always in such low temperatures. To be honest, it's really cool around Kevin," Cang Xuan said.

Upon hearing Cang Xuan's words Chen Luo simultaneously felt a chill.

Looking towards the source of the chill, Chen Luo saw a gentle-looking young girl and a physically cold-looking young man beside her.

Well, physically speaking...

Doctor Mobius followed behind the two.

After watching Mei and Kevin whisper to each other for a while, Chen Luo saw Kevin walk straight towards Chen Luo.

"Are you... a survivor of the Sixth Herrscher incident?" Kevin asked after a pause.

"Uh... yes, is there something you need?"

"My name is Kevin. Since you joined the Fire Moth and are a survivor of that incident, you should know me, right? Back then, when facing the Sixth Herrscher, my soft heart led to the deaths of countless people. I'm very sorry for that... I'm sorry..."

"Stop, wait a minute, let me explain. I am a victim of the 6th Honkai Outbreak, but not a victim of the Honkai that spread because you were soft-hearted. You've got the wrong person." Seeing Kevin about to apologize, Chen Luo quickly stopped him.

Chen Luo can't afford this apology.

Kevin fell silent instantly.

Chen Luo wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the chill emanating from the other person seemed even colder.

Losing face is...

Chapter 423 Kevin gave way too much.

"From a purely rational standpoint, although we are both survivors of the Sixth Herrscher,... your apology to me is useless."

"But if you're also a victim of the Honkai, wouldn't you like to listen to my advice?" Chen Luo asked.

"... Go ahead and say it, I'm listening." After holding it in for a while, Kevin finally said.

Although the other party was not a survivor of the accident he caused, he was still a survivor of the 6th Honkai Outbreak.

There's nothing wrong with listening to the other party's opinion.

"I've heard about the choice and incident you faced; it was probably a choice between the majority and the minority."

"Humans are emotional beings. Even the most rational person will make emotional choices based on certain circumstances. Life cannot be measured by majority or minority. If one day, someone with absolute power would sacrifice the minority without hesitation for the sake of the majority, that would be a disaster."

"Herrscher are not absolutely wrong beings, at least not when you made your choice. The idea that 'perhaps Herrscher could fight for humanity?' wasn't wrong. And one day that choice might even become a reality."

"Human life is not something that can be easily given up. As long as it is not a cold machine, many people will hesitate when faced with the choice you make, and thus follow in your footsteps. This is almost inevitable."

"My advice to you is not to keep thinking about things in a suicidal way. It's very easy to go to extremes and become obsessed with them."

Chen Luo is trying to persuade Kevin not to become the mad old man he will become in the future.

Although Kevin is indeed quite tragic, and most other people would have gone mad in his shoes, Kevin is Flame-Chasers who bears the name of savior.

If possible, let's change even a little bit.

Chen Luo that simple persuasion would be useless, but what mattered was the little hint Chen Luo gave the other party while he was talking nonsense.

Chen Luo's abilities are not simply those of Herrscher Authority of Knowledge, but also include a considerable amount of inner demon power. This is a power from Different World, which is enough to make people unable to defend against it.

Moreover, even if it were simply the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge, Kevin wouldn't be able to stop it now, since Kevin isn't a mental Flame-Chaser.

Sakura is amazing, isn't she? She possesses Sword Skill that seem to freeze time and space, and is one of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers.

But he almost died in the Eighth Herrscher incident.

Under Chen Luo's influence, Kevin began to waver slightly.

"And our hero, don't deny your achievements because of one mistake. Killing the guardians of the Sixth Herrscher and Seventh Herrscher shouldn't make you lose your composure over something like this." Chen Luo patted Kevin on the shoulder, encouraging him.

Kevin's body temperature did indeed remain around -30 degrees Celsius for an extended period.

This temperature was indeed a bit cold for Chen Luo, but he could bear it.

"Hmm? You can touch me without getting hurt?" Kevin frowned when he saw Chen Luo's actions.

A temperature of -30 degrees Celsius is extremely difficult for ordinary people to bear, but Chen Luo remained unfazed.

Touching is acceptable, but remaining unfazed is practically impossible.

Unless... the other party is very strong.

"... Damn, I forgot." Chen Luo pouted unhappily.

Then, before Kevin could react, Chen Luo snapped his fingers.

A glimmer of chaotic light flashed by.

"Kevin, our hero, don't deny your achievements because of one mistake. Killing the guardians of the Sixth Herrscher and Seventh Herrscher shouldn't make you lose your composure over something like this." Chen Luo was about to reach out and pat the other's shoulder, but his hand suddenly withdrew as if stimulated by something.

"Due to the fusion surgery, my body temperature remains around -30 degrees Celsius year-round. Please do not touch me unless absolutely necessary," Kevin said, taking a half-step back as he saw Chen Luo's movement.

"It is indeed a bit cold." Chen Luo nodded.

You think Kevin is stuck in a cycle? No, no, no, this is all thanks to Chen Luo [Ten Years].

A premium reward from Estelle – [10 years].

Chen Luo just used 5 seconds to reverse Kevin's 5 seconds of memory, making the other party's memory go back to 5 seconds ago.

After noticing that no one else was looking in their direction, Chen Luo did not use it on the others.

In a sense, this "10 years" is a bit too extreme.

Oh no, it's not 10 years anymore, it's 10 years minus 10 seconds.

This was Chen Luo's first attempt. Although it seemed unnecessary, 10 years is equivalent to 315.36 million seconds, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

The reason for reducing the time by 10 seconds is probably because it was used on other people, not on Chen Luo himself.

It's also possible that the opponent is too strong.

It's also possible that Chen Luo made a mistake in his technique.

But overall, this thing is really useful.

"Is the hypothermia caused by the fusion surgery? It seems that the current fusion surgery still has many shortcomings, and the side effects are a bit too high. But perhaps I can help you," Chen Luo said after a pause.

"Help me?" Kevin frowned.

"Didn't you see that announcement? Because I survived the 6th Honkai Outbreak, I have the ability to temporarily suppress the activity of Honkai Beast Factor. This is the key to why the surgery failed but I didn't die."

"So, rationally speaking, while I can't restore you to normal by slowly exploring my abilities, I can reduce the activity of the Ice Pig Factor in your body in a short period of time, thereby suppressing your body temperature."

"In this way, you should be able to lower your body temperature by only ten or so degrees Celsius compared to that of an average person in a short period of time."

"But it feels like this is meaningless," Chen Luo pondered.

In fact, after testing, Chen Luo's Imaginary Tree Stigmata does have a certain degree of effect in suppressing Honkai.

However, it seems that it cannot be used in fusion surgery and cannot achieve what was said in the announcement.

Theoretically speaking, theoretically speaking, that means it's very difficult to achieve.

The suppression effect of the Stigmata may completely kill the activity of the Honkai Beasts genes. Since the Honkai Beasts gene materials are somewhat fragile before they are combined, they are easily damaged.

If it gets messed up, then what's the point of having a fusion surgery?

The specific principles behind it? Chen Luo didn't understand either.

The information edited by Cannon Fodder No. 1 and Killer No. 1 was all custom-made.

It's not entirely baseless.

Chen Luo asked them to help him fabricate lies, so naturally he had to give them some information as well.

The most difficult lie to detect is the one that is mixed with the truth.

"No, it's very meaningful," Kevin suddenly said.

"But if we suppress the Honkai Beasts gene activity, won't you lose your ability to control Everfrost?"

"But that way, I'll have a short time to interact with normal people." Kevin said, then suddenly turned his head and looked at the figure who was talking to Mobius.

"... Ah, it seems our hero does have some romantic side after all." Chen Luo, noticing Kevin's gaze, suddenly realized.

You're quick-witted, kid.

Even I, who's just doing this for the commissions, haven't figured it out yet, but you've already come up with one.

[Ding! You have a new request!]
