"Hmph, I didn't realize you, Juxing, could devise a plan without that woman Mei." Qianjie continued to mock Kevin.

Kevin, who was used to this, was completely unaffected and simply asked, "Do you think it's feasible?"

"Do I need to think about it? It's just taking apart some things; it hasn't even loosened my bones yet," Qianjie said dismissively, then looked towards the entrance of the training ground. "Oh, another one."

"Oh my, I just arrived at the training ground and there's our invincible Kevin slumped in a chair. How about it? How's my new Kevin Armor N-001? Isn't it very effective?" Vill-V said with a smile.

Kevin paused for a moment, then said, "The intensity is moderate."

"I can see that, since you the Present have the energy to talk." Vill-V shrugged. "So, what are you two, who are basically going to fight every time you meet, talking about here?"

"It has nothing to do with you!" Qianjie said coldly.

Vill-V glanced at Kevin and gave a helpless smile, "After all, it's Kevin. I can guess what he wants to say. It's about Lilith, right?"

"We need to bring her back to the Fire Moth." Kevin was still unaware of the severity of the situation. "Whether it's fighting the Honkai or anything else, she is an invaluable asset."

"Is that so?" Vill-V smiled and looked at Qianjie. "I see, I see. Sigh, Kevin, instead of worrying about this, why don't you look forward to what I'm going to do next, the Kevin Armor N-002?"

"As long as you don't add your perverse aesthetic sense to it again." Kevin thought of the Kevin weapon that had given him the creeps the last time; just looking at it made him feel like he was losing his mind.

"You can rest assured until Rovoc joins the Fire Moth." Vill-V waved her hand. "Alright, I still have to see Yu Feng, so I won't keep you company any longer."

After taking a few steps, Vill-V turned her head slightly and said, "You'd better be careful next time you attack Kevin's armed forces."

Kevin tilted his head. Could it be that this time, Vill-V was planning to directly install weapons of mass destruction on it? It seemed too far-fetched.

Qianjie watched Vill-V leave, then looked at Kevin: "Were you always like this?"

"I have never changed." Kevin glanced at Qianjie Jie, not quite understanding what Qianjie Kevin? He had smashed countless of them in the last battle.

The only one that wasn't smashed was the collapsed form of Vill-V.

Moreover, what [Vill-V] wants to defeat is her version of herself at her peak. What meaning would defeating her version of herself at this time have for them?

Qianjie felt a bit bored; the simulated monsters in the training ground were too weak for him. He planned to go find his the Present adjutant and ask him to arrange some combat-related tasks for him.

After the Present, he doesn't know anything besides fighting, so you can't expect him to make barbecue, can you?

Whenever I think of that adjutant, I think of Immer from the previous incident...

"If I ever find out what form your damned Honkai takes, I'll crush you to ashes!" Qianjie thought viciously.

Even the Present, besides thinking of Immer whenever he sees his adjutant, Qianjie occasionally recalls the time when he was still at the sanatorium in Aponia, and those noisy brats who were always around him.

He didn't remember their names, but he remembered what they looked like.

Dusk Street.

Aponia watched quietly as the children ran around in the courtyard. Some of them were already helping with chores, and some, though young, were quite sensible.

But they will all die on that day.

If she were to come again, Aponia would still choose to take in those children infected with the Honkai. They should not be left to wander the streets, sleeping in the cold and hunger.

If death is their end, Aponia hopes they can sleep peacefully.

As for the children who were not infected with Honkai, they were also killed by Sakura in the previous night. Aponia saw it all and knew their fate. She also thought about whether to let the children who were not infected with Honkai leave before that night came, but she knew even more that fate was invincible. They would eventually sleep forever on that night for various reasons.

She had seen far too many such romantic situations.

Of all those I've seen in Aponia, only two have the ability to challenge and change fate.

Those two people, one cut the thread that hung over all living beings, and the other took the fate of all people upon his own shoulders.

The price they paid was their lives.

Watching the children laughing and playing, Aponia hoped their fate could be changed, but she hoped even more that the person would not bear any more burdens or suffer any more calamities.

She remembered the little girl that Maple had rescued from the ruins of the church. When she first joined the Fire Moth, Michael was by Aponia's side, but for some reason, Michael eventually parted ways with her.

That girl, like herself, believed that the Honkai was the will of God, so humanity had no need to resist. This was the principle she needed to follow as a believer of God. But as a human, she would also fulfill her responsibilities as a human being, so she went to every corner of the front line as a medical worker.

Treat the wounded and pray for them.

Perhaps when she became a lawyer, she didn't resist at all, and simply chose to accept it honestly?

"God's apostles will eventually purge all the Fallen Angel and bring them the final judgment," Aponia murmured to herself. "Even the Fallen Angel, the source of their power is still God."

She did hate that fate had brought suffering to Elysia and eternal torment to Maple, but even now, she still felt powerless; she couldn't change the situation.

"If fate cannot be changed, at least this time, I can walk with you, so that you will not have to carry the burden alone and leave alone again."

The training ground of the Fire Moth headquarters.

"So, Yu Feng, what gifts did you bring for us?" Vill-V asked with a Zhu Yufeng.

"Didn't you already know?" Zhu Yufeng thought to herself, but still said, "I've prepared gifts for each of your personalities, but for the Present, they're just for my room."

"It's alright!" Vill-V's eyes seemed to light up. "I can go get it the Present!"

"But I haven't finished my training yet..."

Before Zhu Yufeng could finish speaking, Vill-V couldn't wait to run away. Knowing what Vill-V was thinking, Zhu Yufeng had a dark expression on his face. "Has she finally decided to target my room?"

"Huh? What do you mean? Has Vill-V been to your room before?" Elysia asked curiously.

"It's nothing, Evil that she installed surveillance cameras in my room. She hadn't had a chance before, the Present has." Zhu Yufeng shrugged. "By the way, she also planted listening devices on me and my weapons."

I'm used to it. Anyway, Vill-V can't do anything else, so I'll just listen and watch.

Wait, let's check the bathroom afterwards.

Elysia's eye twitched, and Pardo, who had just finished training with Disaster, was even more dumbfounded. "Isn't Vill-V's behavior a bit... too perverted?"

Sakura immediately prepared to draw her sword. "Should I go and teach her a lesson?"

This is outrageous! If this kind of "treatment" were applied to her, ten Vill-V wouldn't be enough for her to chop up. The Present Vill-V are doing this to Feng?

Elysia: "..."

Very good, it suddenly occurred to me that besides Lilith, Vill-V is also a very strong competitor...

Wait, Feng also has a listening device from Vill-V on him? Doesn't that mean Vill-V overheard their entire conversation on the Ferris wheel?

We need to raise the danger level of Vill-V even higher.

But thinking about it, at that time, Vill-V could only listen and couldn't do anything... why did she suddenly feel a little happy?

"It's alright, let her be. She knows what she's doing." Zhu Yufeng waved his hand.

After all, it wasn't like Vill-V hadn't helped him; otherwise, he would have been inexplicably lured into bed by Lilith.

Suddenly, the communication devices inside the Fire Moth that several people had placed aside started beeping, and they each picked up their own communication devices.

After reading the information, Zhu Yufeng looked at Pardo, "I suppose this is your first official mission?"

The task is simple and clear: monitoring a remote mountainous area shows signs of Honkai, and someone needs to investigate.

Elysia looked at the mission information on the screen and sighed softly, "After the training ends today, Phyllis, you should go and prepare. We'll probably be leaving tomorrow."

"Sister Elysia, your expression looks like..."

"You'll know when you get there," Zhu Yufeng said. "Hmm... Kevin and the others will be going this time too... Kevin probably won't be able to go, and Kosma should have accepted this situation by now."

Kevin will most likely be paralyzed tomorrow as well.

Pardo looked completely bewildered. "Brother Yu Feng, Sister Elysia, what are you two talking about?"

"After all, the existing technology simply can't do it." Sakura nodded. "This is a last resort."

Pardo: "..."

Meow meow meow? Is she on the same channel as everyone else?
