Investigation Begins

After Kosma answered, Disaster looked at Kosma in disbelief. She couldn't believe that the Amo she knew would give such an answer. Shouldn't he be on her side?

In fact, if Kosma wasn't a heavyweight, he would indeed have sided with Disaster, believing that no matter how severe the Honkai Corrosion symptoms were, they should try to bring Fire Moth for treatment.

However... he was very clear that there was no way to deal with this, and moreover... for the higher-ups, it was simply unrealistic to invest a large amount of resources in something that did not have a clear benefit.

Disaster turned her gaze to Kevin, Kevin immediately closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. He was never one to care about such things. His reasons for saving the world were very narrow, only for Mei. Now, he had also saved Feng and Elysia.

Although he doesn't side with Elysia and Maple, that doesn't stop him from wanting to unload the suffering Elysia is carrying from her back.

If it were the old him, he might have hesitated, but his final decision would not have changed. Moreover, after the Sixth Law incident, he would show even less mercy.

"Then... Little Pardo, do you think so too?" Disaster asked Pardo as if she were pleading for help.

"As for me... I might feel a little reluctant..." Pardo said uncertainly, because she didn't really understand this kind of thing. Having grown up in Dusk Street, she had seen too much deceit and life-or-death struggle. Perhaps she would feel pity, but more likely she would want to stay out of it.

Disaster then fell silent.

The investigation team arrived at their destination in silence.

Before disembarking from the transport plane, Zhu Yufeng instructed everyone to put on their combat suits. Although a small-scale Honkai might not have much of an impact on the people present, wearing combat suits would at least be a precaution.

"Speaking of which, Brother Yu Feng, why didn't Hua come?" Pardo asked as she disembarked from the transport plane.

"Hua's training time is insufficient. Although her training results are excellent, she has only been in the Second Division for a few days. She cannot go on missions until she has enough training time," Zhu Yufeng explained.

This area has been sealed off by the authorities; people inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in.

Elysia, as the leader of this investigation mission, showed her identification to the soldiers guarding the entrance. The soldiers immediately made way, but before entering the investigation area, one of the soldiers suddenly asked, "What will happen to those people inside in the end?"

Zhu Yufeng was walking at the back, glanced at him and said, "I hope Dabu is still alive." Then she went inside.

As the investigation team entered the cordoned-off area, the soldier who had asked the question spoke up, "What's wrong with you? They're special envoys sent from above. How dare you ask them questions like that?"

The soldier replied, "They... are far too young. It's hard to imagine that the higher-ups would assign this kind of mission to such a group of young people... Besides, I've participated in similar blockades before..."

"What about the conclusion?"

"Not a single one has returned. I've heard it's a very special kind of plague."

"Who cares? We'll just do what we're told. The higher-ups must have their reasons for sending them here. We don't need to worry about that at all."

"Sigh... I just hope that no more people will die."

The camera then shifts to the investigation team.

"The Honkai Energy concentration is confirmed to be abnormal. It seems a minor Honkai has indeed occurred here," Su said, holding the Honkai Energy monitoring device. "If that's the case..."

"Then there must be infections," Kevin continued.

He has almost recovered now. Although he may not have fully regained his fighting ability, he will at least not be a burden to the team.

Kosma, unusually, took the initiative to speak to Disaster, "Disaster, you..."

"Hmph, don't talk to me Amo you've changed your mind!" Disaster turned her head away.

Kosma: "..."

(I remember in my past life, when Kevin led us on a mission, it was you who comforted me. I never imagined that this time, I would be the one comforting you. So, back then, you were actually bothered by this as much as I was?)

He thought of the Eighth Law again. He still didn't know what Disaster saw in her dream when she was trying to locate the Eighth Law, something that could cause her to fall into a deep sleep. Now, given a second chance, he wanted to save Disaster.

Sakura, who was walking at the front, suddenly spoke up, "Su, is the source of the Honkai in that village?"

Su looked at the village not far away, then at the Yixuan in his hand, shook his head and said, "The source of this Honkai is not in that village, but in another place."

Elysia looked at Zhu Yufeng, Zhu Yufeng nodded to her and raised a hand to signal everyone to look at him.

"Then we'll Honkai into two teams right here. One team will go to investigate the Honkai Origin, and the other team will go to the village to investigate," Zhu Yufeng said. He then glanced at Disaster, "Disaster, you, Kosma, and Su will go to the village to investigate. Su will be in charge of the operation. Just to be safe, Sakura, you'll go with Kosma and the others. The rest of you will go to the Honkai Origin to investigate."

Before Disaster could speak, Kosma said, "Maple, I want to go with you to investigate. As for Su, I think Pardo is more suitable than me."

Kevin glanced at Kosma, wondering why he had to worry about this couple too.

Zhu Yufeng looked at Pardo and asked, "What do you think, Pardo?"

Pardo looked at Zhu Yufeng, then at Disaster, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Amo isn't good at communicating with others, so let us do it."

Zhu Yufeng glanced at Kosma and nodded. "Then let's do it this way."

The group then parted ways and headed in two directions.

On the way to the source of the Honkai, Elysia said with a smile, "Wow, as expected of the leader of the Fallen Angel. How about I give you the captain's position right now, Maple?"

Zhu Yufeng looked at Fang Bi in the village and said, "If you were in her shoes, you would have made the same arrangement, right? Besides, wasn't it you who asked me to step forward and make the arrangements back then?"

"That's how it is, but I only gave you a look and you understood. Maybe we actually work together quite well?" Elysia said.

Zhu Yufeng didn't respond, fearing Kevin would cause trouble again, and immediately said to Kosma, "I originally hoped that you, as Disaster Dobia's childhood friend, would guide her."

"I... am not good at giving advice to others," Kosma said. "Pardo, who is currently on good terms with Disaster, is more suitable than me."

"She'll have to get used to it sooner or later. Our enemies are never just the Honkai; sometimes, humans can be our enemies too," Zhu Yufeng said.

Kosma paused for a moment, then said, "... The Rebel Army?"

"The soldiers among them may have good intentions, and they are fighting for humanity just like us. However, among the original Rebel Army, there were also those who lost out due to internal power struggles within the leadership," Zhu Yufeng said expressionlessly.

The formation of the Rebel Army was actually quite complex. Some people joined because they did not believe in the Fire Moth, some were misled and Rebel Army by others, and some wanted to break away from the Fire Moth in order to pursue more power and status.

Whatever their reasons for becoming Rebel Army, their fate was sealed when they Fire Moth.

"You treacherous liar! You promised to let us go!"

He remembered that Lilith answered for him, "What does it have to do with us that Maple promised to give you a way out?"

That's a classic villain line.

He had considered leaving a group of people to fill the Divine Blessing Barrier, after all, he knew the weakness of the Divine Blessing Barrier from the beginning. However, there was a gap of several months between the Tenth Law Incident and the Eleventh Law Incident. How should the prisoners' food rations be arranged during this period? How should their accommodations be arranged?

After all, the higher-ups didn't give him any corresponding arrangements.

It's obvious they're making him do the dirty work.

"Perhaps this time we can avoid the emergence of the Rebel Army," Kosma said.

Zhu Yufeng glanced at Kosma, then continued on his way, "You're too naive, Kosma."

There will always be people who are unwilling to relinquish power, and there will always be people who want to seize more power.

This is the human heart.

Elysia replied, "Well, at least we can give it a try, right?"

Zhu Yufeng paused for a moment. He thought of Mobius's plan. If Mobius really had a way, then it didn't seem impossible. All they had to do was eliminate those who had been squeezed out of the center of power.

"You're right, Elysia," he said.

Kosma: "..."

What does it mean to discriminate? This is what it means to discriminate!
