Elysia's Persistent Harassment

"???" Kevin's gaze gradually became subtle.

What do you mean?

What does this have to do with me?

"That was indeed a huge disaster," Elysia nodded thoughtfully.

It's really hard to imagine the expression on Kevin's face when he's coldly instructing his juniors.

Kevin:...

Junior:...

Kevin:...

Junior:...

This is absolutely terrifying!

"But are you really sure you don't reject me?" Elysia looked at Chen Luo with certainty.

"Really, I promise." Chen Luo raised his left hand.

"Real?"

"Really," Chen Luo said definitively.

"Then show me your left hand again," Elysia suddenly said.

"Huh???" Chen Luo was a little confused.

However, in order to get Elysia to find Desdichado quickly so as not to delay his return home, Chen Luo extended his left hand.

Seeing Chen Luo's outstretched left hand, Elysia flipped Chen Luo's left hand over so that the back of his hand was facing up, and then gently stroked the back of Chen Luo's hand with her fingers.

"Emmm..." Elysia's fingers stroked the back of Chen Luo's hand, as if she were lost in thought.

A feeling that is very strange, peculiar, yet also very intimate.

Elysia didn't understand, which is why Elysia wanted to understand even more.

Upon seeing where the other person was touching, Chen Luo almost instinctively pulled his left hand back.

"Um, please don't do this, I'm scared," Chen Luo said, Kero, and powerless.

"Don't take it back so quickly, let me take another look."

"Elysia, that's enough, stop bullying my assistant." Seeing Chen Luo's seemingly confused expression, Mobius said coldly.

"Oh dear, why is Mobius so concerned? I'm not going to steal your Lolo, I was just looking at the back of the other person's hand." Elysia sighed.

"Alright, Elysia, you really need to go and see that Desdichado. As a senior, you should teach her, and she's a beautiful girl too. This is a golden opportunity, don't miss it!" Chen Luo said, thinking of Elysia's best interests.

"..." Elysia seemed somewhat shaken when she heard the word "beautiful girl".

"And Kevin, you too. Take Elysia to meet him quickly. He's the fifth Flame-Chaser, and a rare mental Flame-Chaser at that. For Mei's sake, you should at least keep her neutral." Chen Luo patted Kevin on the shoulder and said.

"...I'll go right now." Kevin suddenly remembered after hearing Chen Luo's reminder.

If Kevin remembers correctly, according to Mobius's explanation, mental Flame-Chaser are more suited to fighting humans, and since they are fighting humans, they need to be on guard in certain situations.

Kevin also knew that May had indeed faced a lot of opposition within the Fire Moth, so contacting the first psychic Flame-Chaser was indeed necessary at this time.

Kevin's efficiency skyrockets whenever May is involved. So he headed straight for the direction Desdichado had gone.

Sometimes, you should never entrust your safety to the conscience of those in high positions.

Because they have no conscience at all.

"So, Aili, why don't you hurry up and go with her? If the newcomer gets led astray by Kevin, that'll be a real problem," Chen Luo threatened Elysia.

"I have a feeling you're doing this on purpose..."

"Alright, don't overthink it, go on your way. See you tomorrow. And I'll give you a big surprise tomorrow as a celebration of our officially established guardian-protected relationship," Chen Luo said sincerely to Elysia.

"Real?"

"Really. And Kevin has already gone far away." Chen Luo said, pointing to Kevin was walking further and further away.

"Alright, it's a deal. Kevin, wait for me!"

Perhaps genuinely afraid that Kevin would lead Desdichado, the new Flame-Chaser, astray, Elysia also followed him.

Chen Luo stood quietly in place, watching the two leave.

Don't worry, I'll definitely give you a big surprise tomorrow.

Hmm, what do you think of the pink burlap sack?

But...

"You seem to be trying to get Elysia away. Did something happen?" Mobius asked casually after everyone else had left.

"Nothing, it's just that I have a feeling the other person seems to have noticed something," Chen Luo replied to Mobius while staring at the back of his left hand.

"Hmm? What is that?" Mobius frowned.

"Stigmata, Imaginary Stigmata." Within Chen Luo's field of vision, on the back of his left hand, a symbol or Stigmata representing imaginary numbers was quietly sitting there.

Chen Luo currently has three Stigmata: the Imaginary Stigmata on his left hand, the Quantum Stigmata on his right hand, and the Puppeteer Stigmata on his back.

The Imaginary Number and Quantum Stigmata are fixed on the backs of Chen Luo's left and right hands, while the Puppeteer Stigmata can appear anywhere.

Of course, these three Stigmata are invisible to others unless Chen Luo is willing to let them see them.

"Could it be that she sensed something? That shouldn't be the case. Logically speaking, people nowadays shouldn't be qualified to access anything related to the Imaginary Tree, right? This must be your imagination, right?" Mobius was somewhat skeptical.

I, the Doctor, haven't even come into contact with the Imaginary Tree yet, and you're telling me a warrior has?

"Who knows? Anyway, it's impossible for it to be an illusion, since she touched the spot where my Stigmata was for a long time. But maybe she doesn't know anything about the Imaginary Tree and thinks I'm something else."

"Something else?"

"For example... Herrscher? Okay, don't look at me like that, I was just kidding." Chen Luo raised his hands in surrender.

"Give me your left hand," Mobius said, extending his hand to Chen Luo.

"Oh." Although Chen Luo thought he should be unyielding, Chen Luo still chickened out when he saw Mobius's serious expression.

After taking Chen Luo's left hand, Mobius followed Elysia's example and began to touch the back of Chen Luo's hand, trying to discover something.

"Hey, Snake Snake, if you're trying to touch the Stigmata, then I can only say you've touched the wrong place." Chen Luo, who couldn't stand it any longer, directly revealed his Imaginary Stigmata to Mobius.

"... Oh? You mean Elysia touched the right spot just now?"

"Mm." Chen Luo nodded.

"That shouldn't be the case. We're both Flame-Chaser, but I don't have any special connection with her. Why can she?" Mobius frowned.

"Who knows? Maybe it's because the Honkai Beast Factor fused with them is at the end-of-life level." Chen Luo shook his head.

Come to think of it, Chen Luo didn't seem to have told anyone that Elysia was Herrscher.

Chen Luo felt that it would be more meaningful for Elysia to say it herself.

I cannot deprive Elysia of this right that belongs solely to her.

"The end-stage of Dharma..."

Currently, the only Flame-Chaser has fused with the genetic factors of Honkai Beasts of the End-of-Day Era is Elysia.

Mobius's Shesha was only at the Judgment-class.

Although Mobius was long past the age of caring about such things, Mobius still felt a little annoyed when he heard Chen Luo's words.

So what if she's a End-of-Day Demon? No matter how powerful she is, she's still Honkai Beasts, right? Why can she see it but I can't?

Chapter 513 Elysia's Continued Harassment

Today, after completing the surgery, Chen Luo returned to the laboratory somewhat cautiously.

"Hey, A Luo, what are you doing again?" Cang Xuan suddenly appeared and patted Chen Luo on the shoulder from behind.

"I'm avoiding Elysia. Also, speaking of Elysia, did you tell her that I can go home and rest after performing three surgeries in one day Elysia?" Chen Luo asked Cang Xuan directly.

"Uh, I don't think there's anything to keep secret about this, is there?"

"There's nothing to keep secret, but you betrayed me. You traitor!"

"Seriously? You can call this betrayal?"

"Never mind. I'm going to hide in Mobius's lounge in a bit. Don't tell Elysia about this, please don't." Chen Luo emphasized to Cang Xuan again and again.

"You're really strange. Why are you so afraid of Elysia? You were wearing Elysia support hat a while ago." Cang Xuan looked at Chen Luo with great curiosity.

In Cang Xuan's view, everything Chen Luo did was strange.

Also, Elysia is so cute, why don't you stan Elysia?

"It's not that I'm afraid of Aili, it's mainly that I'm afraid she'll become my bodyguard. To be honest, I'm actually a socially anxious person. I don't like dealing with strangers, and I prefer to stay at home alone or in a closed, cramped place."

"..." Cang Xuan didn't speak, but pointed to himself.

"Ah, you guys don't count. After all, even people with social anxiety need to learn how to earn money to support their families, right?" Chen Luo said.

"... To be honest, firstly, not all socially anxious people like to stay in closed and cramped places, and secondly, I don't think you're socially anxious at all. You're more like a social terrorist." Cang Xuan rolled his eyes at Chen Luo.

"You've only been at the Fire Moth for a few days, and you've already gotten on good terms with Kevin, even having him personally escort you back to the lab. Tsk tsk."

If you still say you're socially awkward, then Elysia has something to say.

Even before Kevin turned into ice, Elysia gradually became friends with Kevin, unlike Chen Luo, who simply won through evil means.

"Ahem, anyway, just don't let Elysia find me, or your sister is finished."

"Wait, what does this have to do with Danzhu?" Cang Xuan was taken aback.

"If I didn't make her copy those 100 times as punishment, do you think she could have endured it on her own?"

"That makes some sense, but not much. If you ask me, we should give Danzhu the opportunity to train on his own. You haven't seen how much Danzhu loves to court death these days." Hearing this, Cang Xuan sighed.

"It's all your fault for spoiling her all this time." Cang Xuan glanced at Chen Luo reproachfully.

"You don't understand, do you? If we're talking about strict fathers and kind mothers, I'm the kind mother type. I simply can't bear to see others in trouble."

"I suspect you're taking advantage of me," said Cang Xuan, Danzhu's twin sister.

"I was just talking about types, types! Okay, that's enough, I'm off now. Remember, don't tell Elysia where I am." After saying that, Chen Luo ran towards Mobius's lounge.

[You come out here! Elysia stole from my house, and you didn't even know!]

Cannon Fodder No. 1: [What happened?]

[Elysia secretly swapped roles with Sakura, saying she'd become my bodyguard to ensure my safety outside the Fire Moth— you didn't even mention this to me.]

Run back to number 1.: [But you said it yourself, sir, this was a private exchange between them.]

[Couldn't you assign Elysia some missions? Like exterminating Honkai Beasts or something. The Seventh Herrscher just died less than a month ago, right? There must be some Honkai remnants left, right? Send her to deal with them.]

[The entire Fire Moth is so big, the strongest are Kevin and Elysia, and both of them are Flame-Chaser. Keeping one ace in Fire Moth is enough.]

Cannon Fodder No. 1: [However, according to regulations, senior combat personnel are entitled to a few days of rest after completing the clearing of Honkai Beasts in a region. Just two days ago, Elysia cleared out an area. And now it's her rest time.]

Cannon Fodder No. 1: [Besides, didn't you also plan to have Elysia serve as your guard when you're out and about for a while?]

That was the old me, not the current me. Oh well, this gives me a headache. I'll have to keep out the battle of wits with Elysia for the next few days.

Not only do I have to complete tasks every day, but I also have to outwit and outmaneuver Elysia among the Fire Moth every day, making sure she can't find me.

What a terrible human suffering!

Oh, by the way, hurry up and arrange for Hua, the only survivor of the fifth squad, to be my official bodyguard. You can surely manage that, right?

Chen Luo suddenly came up with a brilliant idea: to find someone else to replace Elysia as a temporary bodyguard.

In fact, Elysia and Kevin are quite different; Elysia really doesn't have time to play bodyguard games for very long.

As one of only two members of the Fire Moth with the highest combat strength, Elysia also frequently goes on missions, just like Durandal of Schicksal.

Although Elysia has plenty of free time because she resolves battles so quickly, it's normal to find a proper replacement since it's only temporary.

Cannon Fodder No. 1: [No problem, please hold on for three more days, sir.]

Three days? Three days is enough for Elysia to scatter my ashes!
