Bai Ge: Sakura, Can I Touch Your Ears?

"Ah?"

Bai Ge blinked in surprise and confusion. Had Aili ever done that kind of thing? He had no recollection of it.

Mobius gritted his teeth, thinking back to how every time he "passed by" Bai Ge's bedroom recently, he would be knocked unconscious by this pink pig and stuffed under the bed as a prop for the assassin.

Disgraceful! Utterly disgraceful!

She reaffirmed her vow in her heart once again—no matter the cost, she, Mobius, would defeat Elysia!

She won't just stuff this pink pig under the bed; she'll tie her to the side of the bed and make her watch over it!

"Mobius, mind your image, pay attention to your image."

"Slurp! Cough cough! Um, this is the list of personnel for the next Hypermutation Surgery, take a look."

"Okay, okay, oh well, this topic change was a bit abrupt."

Bai Ge casually picked up the list and looked at it. The success rate of the Fusion Warrior surgery was not high, and in fact there were strict standards for the selection of candidates, although there were originally no standards.

But Bai Ge said that if there was an heir, then there was.

It's important to know that he didn't allow Mobius to report the technology, meaning that unless someone else develops the Naolufei, the Hypermutation Surgery is monopolized by him and Mobius.

It's hard to say who will become Fusion Warrior.

Whether or not one has the opportunity to become Fusion Warrior is entirely up to Bai Ge and Mobius.

After all, powerful forces must be restrained, otherwise they can easily be used for evil purposes.

First, they have to pass the moral test. Then, the people sent from the higher-ups can only perform the Hypermutation Surgery on lower-level Honkai Beast. Although those who can perform surgery on High-Level Honkai Beast are already one in a thousand, the boost brought by the genes of lower-level Honkai Beast is ultimately limited.

Although the success rate and safety have improved significantly, the power that most people gain is still only the level that talented human soldiers can reach after hard training.

After all, given the inhuman nature of the higher-ups, who have been focused on internal strife for a hundred years, neither Bai Ge nor Mobius would feel comfortable entrusting dangerous forces to them.

Their monopolistic and restrictive approach to technology naturally aroused dissatisfaction from higher-ups, however...

Bai Ge: "Who's dissatisfied? Come on, step forward and pray!"

Kevin raised his sword, Elysia drew her bow, Mobius his knife, and Vill-V and tens of thousands of the Mecha Legion were ready. Countless warriors who worshipped Bai Ge as a hero raised their guns.

High-level executives. "..."

Even though Bai Ge didn't deliberately cultivate it.

But after defeating the Herrscher of Honkai time and time again, more and more people gathered around him.

It has now formed a tremendous force that no one can coerce, and it is also a kind of will.

The will to save the world!

However, although it was impossible to force Bai Ge to compromise directly, there were no restrictions on assassination. However, in this world, only high-level Fusion Warrior could successfully assassinate high-level Fusion Warrior.

Not to mention that Bai Ge is a six-core 5.4 Herrscher.

Kevin can't even last a few moves against him now, so he's invincible on the human side at this stage!

"Wow, that's an interesting trick."

Bai Ge, who was casually looking at the list, suddenly had a bright idea.

"Hmm? What happened to the people on the list?"

Mobius raised an eyebrow at Bai Ge, who chuckled softly, and then looked at the list of candidates for the Hypermutation Surgery. He discovered that Bai was intently reviewing the profile of a female soldier.

With her long pink hair and tall figure, although she doesn't always smile like Elysia and instead has a cold demeanor, there's no denying that she's still a beautiful young woman.

And the girl's name is Sakura.

"Tsk! Another pink-haired girl."

Sakura's popularity with Mobius has plummeted because of a certain fairy lady; the Snakey is now allergic to pink.

Bai Ge raised her hand and touched Mobius to comfort her.

"Don't be like that~ This girl has a completely different personality from Aili, she's a very serious person."

"Huh? You know her?"

"I guess so, even though she doesn't know me... Heh, the higher-ups really know how to come up with things, managing to squeeze someone in like this. Looks like we'll have to be more careful with future inspections."

"What? She was sent by those bastards?"

Mobius frowned, looking at Sakura's half-body photo on the list, already thinking about how many pieces he should cut her into.

Bai Ge shook his head, indicating that it was unnecessary.

"We'll arrange for her to have genetic surgery with Emperor-Class Honkai Beast, Yaksha. That's the most suitable procedure for her."

"You're still planning to help the people her superiors sent? Wait, Bai Ge, are you planning to recruit her into your group?"

"As expected of Mobius, you really understand me~"

As Bai Ge spoke, he brought up the encyclopedia entry for the Emperor-class Yaksha Honkai Beast, which was a large fox with a pink body and rabbit-like ears!

He was already desperate to see what those ears would look like on Sakura's head.

Chapter 214, Bai Ge: Ying, may I touch your ears? (Please subscribe automatically)

Inside the Moth Chasing Fire base.

Unlike the single dormitories that only captains, vice-captains, and Fusion Warrior have, ordinary soldiers share a dormitory with four people.

"... Um... Hmm."

In the sparsely populated dormitory for female soldiers, a pink-haired girl opened her sleepy eyes.

Her fingers twitched slightly, and only after confirming that she was still holding the katana did she show a relieved expression.

Sakura rubbed her eyes and sat up.

She was an undercover assassin planted in this base by the higher-ups of the Moth Chasing Fire, taking advantage of the opportunity when the Fourth Herrscher was being exterminated and Bai Ge's base was recruiting new soldiers.

The higher-ups erased all of Sakura's past identity information and fabricated a new identity for her, allowing her to join the base as an ordinary victim of the Great Honkai.

In this way, when Sakura undergoes the Hypermutation Surgery, she will no longer be subject to deliberate restrictions and will only be able to fuse with low-level Honkai Beast genes.

Incidentally, at the welcome banquet not long ago, Sakura didn't attend because she didn't want to contact her mission target/ Bai Ge too early. Otherwise, she would definitely have been pulled into Bai's team by now, just like Kosma.

"Sakura, you're awake~ Let's go, let's go to the cafeteria to get something to eat, and then we'll go to training."

"Okay, I'll be right there, Daisy Dobiya."

Sakura nodded and said to her roommate.

Daisy Dobiya is a blonde, side-ponytail-wearing young girl with an extremely high adaptability to Honkai Energy, making her a promising future master.

Sakura quickly changed her clothes and equipment, and tucked her katana into her waistband. This sword, which she never parted with, gave her a sense of security.

Half a month has passed since Sakura joined the base, and she has stood out with her outstanding performance.

After all, as the ace assassin of the Venom Cocoon, training new recruits was a piece of cake for her.

However, when carrying out missions to Honkai Beast, Sakura was initially very unaccustomed to making mistakes, because she had only ever killed humans in the past. However, this unfamiliarity did not bother Sakura.

Sakura: (My swordsmanship is a killing technique, and it is indeed not compatible with Honkai Beast, but... slaying Honkai Beast makes me feel much more at ease than slaying humans.)

To be honest, she thought it would be a difficult task.

But now Sakura feels she's actually enjoying it quite a bit.

Although it was just a disguise required for mission 11, it gave Sakura the illusion that she had truly stepped out of the darkness and into the warm sunlight.

If she were to abandon her mission now and turn to the light, perhaps this illusion could truly become reality.

But such a thought only flashed through her mind for a moment before Sakura gave it up... because in that darkness, there were people she had to protect.

That was Sakura's only family in the world.

A younger sister named Rin.

Sakura obeyed the orders of the higher-ups, joined the Venom Cocoon, and slaughtered humans all in order to protect her only family member, even though it burdened her with countless crimes.

But Sakura never regrets or hesitates.

After all, she is an older sister.

It's only natural for an older sister to protect her younger sister.

"By the way, Sakura, my application for the Hypermutation Surgery has been approved. How's your application coming along?"

"Yes, I passed too."

"Haha, really? We're so lucky! You know, the chances of getting accepted as a new recruit are very low. If we can become Fusion Warrior, not only will our strength increase significantly, but we'll also get to live in single dormitories, and our salary will even increase several times over!"

Daisy Dobiya's eyes sparkled as she spoke, the blonde girl already imagining the wonderful treatment she would receive after becoming Fusion Warrior, but Sakura looked puzzled.

"Daisy Dobiya, is that why you applied for the Hypermutation Surgery with such a low success rate?"

"Um, is there a problem? It's not like I'll die if I fail, so there's no harm in giving it a try."

"Huh? No, I won't die?"

Sakura's eyes widened in surprise.

She thought the surgery had failed and she would surely die.

As a member of the Venom Cocoon, she knows a lot about the dark side of the Moth Chasing Fire, such as that some high-ranking people are secretly researching Hypermutation Surgery, and that Sakura has also received missions in the past to deal with rampaging experimental subjects.
