Inside a room of a villa.

The blond middle-aged man casually lifted the chin of the gray-haired girl in front of him. The girl's bangs were so long that they covered her left eye.

The man chuckled and said, "You're quite pretty, young lady, but aren't your bangs a bit too long?"

He tried to brush aside the girl's bangs, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, forcing him to bend over. He clearly saw the girl's hand plunge into his abdomen, and then suddenly thrust it outwards.

In excruciating pain, the man instinctively wanted to howl, but the girl's hand was already inside his mouth, pulling his chin down sharply.

He couldn't make a sound; the excruciating pain in his body hindered his movements. He saw his internal organs, which the girl had carelessly discarded. He finally realized that the girl in front of him was not some "gift" sent to him, but a death knell.

He regretted his infatuation, but he also felt it wasn't his fault; the girl had already been searched by the maid when she entered the villa and was proven not to be carrying any weapons.

The girl coldly watched the man curled up on the ground struggling, then turned and left the room. When she opened the door, she saw a boy who had come looking for a kiss.

She reached out her hand again.

Under the moonlight, in the garden of this villa, a girl who had already lost her breath lay there, and the clothes that instinctively identified her as her were now being worn by the gray-haired girl in the villa.

The headquarters of the Fire Moth.

"Xila is an assassin trained from childhood by the assassin organization 'Arc Moon.' Before joining the Fallen Angel Squad, her life was almost entirely about killing," Zhu Yufeng told Mobius about Xila. "Unlike Sakura, who specializes in assassination, killing has almost become her instinct. Everything in her hands can become a weapon. In other words, rather than calling Xila an assassin, it's more accurate to say that she is a killing machine responsible for carrying out orders."

"I know." Mobius began to recall the girl who had always stood quietly behind Zhu Yufeng. "The third Fallen Angel, the Fallen Angel of slaughter. Remember why she first came into contact with the Fire Moth? Was it to assassinate you?"

"Hmm." Zhu Yufeng nodded. "At that time, I had just completed the Fusion Warrior surgery and helped the Fire Moth solve a problem. Then I was targeted by 'Arc Moon' and they sent their strongest assassin Xila."

"Xila and Sakura, without undergoing the Hypervariable Surgery, who do you think is better?" Mobius asked.

"It's hard to say. They might be evenly matched, or... Xila might win," Zhu Yufeng said. "Because Xila is different from Ying. She has no scruples, and she has a beast-like killing instinct. In other words, you can't find any emotions in Xila. When ordinary people are hurt or hit, they feel pain, they back down, and they are afraid. Xila doesn't. To fight Xila, unless you are confident that you can subdue Xila will fight to the last moment of her life."

They are indifferent to life and death, existing only for killing, and fighting only for killing.

This is fundamentally different from Sakura becoming an assassin for Rin's sake.

Of course, it's not to say that Sakura hesitated when she killed people. After all, during the Dusk Street incident, it was Sakura who killed all the children infected with Honkai in the Aponia Containment Sanatorium.

However, compared to Xila, at least Sakura still has someone she cares about.

"No wonder you initially suggested that she fuse with the Feitian Honkai Beast," Mobius said thoughtfully.

"Realizing that Xila might be helpful in the fight against the Honkai, I subdued her and imprisoned her the Deepest Place. Then, the Fire Moth's intelligence network found the headquarters of 'Arc Moon' and wiped them out, giving her the leader's head." Zhu Yufeng recalled the situation at the time. In fact, Xila had no feelings for the original organization; he had simply signed a new contract with Xila.

Speaking of which, there are two emotionless characters in my team: one is the emotionless mature woman Xila, and the other is the emotionless Astaroth. These two usually don't have much of an expression.

"In any case, make a note of this matter. If there's a chance, try to recruit Xila and the Fire Moth in advance," Mobius said.

As for why the assassination wasn't targeted at Sakura, don't be ridiculous. Sakura is the Present a full-fledged warrior of the Fire Moth, and her whereabouts are monitored by the Fire Moth. How could she possibly have the opportunity to assassinate a high-ranking member? Therefore, they need someone who doesn't belong to the Fire Moth but still has the ability.

Speaking of assassins, the Fire Moth will soon establish an assassin organization called "Poison Pupa," a secret unit of the Fire Moth, whose members are all hardened criminals. The price of a pardon is that they must undertake dangerous missions.

As the number of Fusion Warrior increased, this force lost its value and Jie Mie.

Beelzebub and Sakura were originally members of the Poison Pupa...

This time, however, Sakura ran away exceptionally quickly. Unlike in her previous life, she sold out the original organization Fire Moth, without even targeting its higher-ups. Moreover, this time, when she Fire Moth, Mobius vouched for her, so the other higher-ups turned a blind eye to her past crimes. Besides, she had even sent her own younger sister to headquarters, so the higher-ups were even less likely to say anything.

Isn't this just handing over your weaknesses to us?

Beelzebub... he was sent there purely because he killed too many people and was extremely warlike...

Anyway, none of the Thirteen Fallen Angels I brought with me, including myself, were normal.

After leaving Mobius's laboratory, Zhu Yufeng ran into Qianjie, who had just returned from a mission. They talked about how they hadn't seen each other much since Qianjie Jie Fire Moth. Qianjie was either out fighting or on his way to fight every day.

However, the Honkai of the Present caused by the Third Herrscher have almost subsided, otherwise Zhu Yufeng wouldn't have had time to go on vacation...

During this period, Qianjie should be at the Fire Moth base.

When Qianjie saw Zhu Yufeng come out of Mobius's laboratory, his first reaction was that this kid was up to no good again. He pressed his knuckles and said, "Hmph, what are you planning to do alone this time?"

If this guy is planning some kind of Chimera Project again, he'll break his legs first!

"Captain Qianjie, calm down... calm down!" The deputy that Qianjie Fire Moth had assigned to Qianjie quickly stepped forward and said.

"Get out!" Qianjie roared at his deputy, who shuddered in fright. Although he couldn't see Qianjie's expression through the mask, he could still sense Qianjie's anger. And what usually made Qianjie show anger was the Honkai Beast that he had torn apart.

The deputy also recognized Zhu Yufeng, but he genuinely had no idea how this young man had offended Qianjie.

Zhu Yufeng was used to Qianjie's concern anyway, and said to Qianjie, "I just discussed her fitness plan with Mobius."

"A fitness plan? Mobius?" Qian Jie thought for Qianjie, then grabbed Zhu Yufeng and lifted her up. "That woman doesn't know anything about exercising!"

He's definitely lying. Let's break his legs.

"Qianjie, can't you keep your voice down a little? I can hear you yelling even through the door," Mobius said as he walked out of the laboratory.

Qianjie put Zhu Yufeng down, looked at Mobius, and began to think about the Present killing her now could stop the Chimera Project.

Having failed to come up with a solution, Master Qian decided to strike first as a sign of respect.

Mobius was already used to Qianjie's madness. After glancing at Qianjie Jie's deputy, who was cowering and trembling, he looked at Qianjie and said, "I have indeed been training lately. If you don't believe me, you can the Present with us to the training ground to verify it."

Qianjie tried to think about it again and found it made sense.

So the three of them headed to the training ground, leaving the deputy alone, bewildered.

When the three arrived at the training ground, they saw Kevin slumped in a chair, Su with a headache-looking expression, and Klein next to him diligently recording data.

Qianjie Kevin, then walked directly towards Klein: "You, has that woman been exercising lately?"

Klein looked up, then looked down to continue recording data, "If you mean the Doctor, she has been training exactly as Feng instructed these past few days."

Klein finished recording the data, he saw Mobius arrive, so he went over and said, "Doctor, the data you asked me to record has been recorded."

Mobius glanced at Qianjie, sneered, and left with Klein.

She had no desire to spend another second with Qianjie, who was completely unreasonable.

"Hmph, as always, you're so slick." Qianjie shifted his gaze to Kevin. "So, Kevin, why are you always paralyzed whenever I see you?"

Kevin maintained his expressionless demeanor as he looked at Qianjie: "In order to challenge my limits and gain more leeway in the battles to come."

He looked at Qianjie and began to think, could he take Qianjie with him to kidnap someone? Qianjie probably had the same idea as him, right?
