A Single Mouth Offends Every Flame-Chaser

Australia.

Some time has passed since the sinking of Atlantis. During the great disaster caused by Varuna, many artists and researchers who were in the lower levels of Atlantis perished, as well as a considerable number of tourists and staff. Mu Continent went to great lengths to suppress the truth of the matter with the Fire Moth, claiming to the outside world that the crisis response measures of Atlantis were inadequate, and as the leader, Kandela was naturally pushed out to take the blame.

Just like when Vayu destroyed Atlantis in the previous life, the only difference is that Kandela chose to sink with Atlantis back then. In this life, he didn't even have time to make that choice before Zhu Yufeng knocked him unconscious and took him back to the Mu Continent.

It should be noted that during the period of Atlantis's establishment, it has repeatedly promoted its advanced technology and perfect measures. However, this time it is said that the crisis response measures are inadequate, and the public's suspicion of the official authorities has deepened from this point on.

The Rebel Army arose from multiple reasons, including the struggle for power and the public's distrust of the Fire Moth Mu Continent.

Australia, as another major art mecca, is home to nearly half of the world's spiritual and cultural wealth. After the sinking of Atlantis, holding art festivals here has become a rare and desirable destination for Chinese artists.

The organizers were, of course, the Nahamah family, Australia's premier family.

"Sigh, how could Atlantis sink so easily? We thought it had comprehensive wave protection measures and a complete emergency response plan, but a submarine earthquake triggered a tsunami and it was overturned."

"Tsk... You actually believe the official rhetoric? Let me tell you, Atlantis has serious problems!"

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"It wasn't just a problem with the wave protection measures. I have inside information that at the time, there weren't even enough evacuation boats. Many people only escaped the disaster by boarding Young Master Nahamah's boat!"

"Ah?"

"I'm telling you this inside story, but don't tell anyone else. The Mu Continent is investigating this very closely right now, so it's not convenient to go into too much detail. It's just that... those people at the bottom level weren't unable to escape, it's just that there weren't enough evacuation ships. So, the people in the control room at the time simply blocked the route from the bottom level to the top level."

"What?! Are you sure what you said is true?"

"It couldn't be more true. Atlantis and all that stuff is pursuing art and aesthetics, throwing all their funds into it. If something goes wrong, they'll be in big trouble."

"Well..."

Such conversations were very common among some of the higher-ranking people during this grand art festival and in the period following the sinking of Atlantis.

This can be considered another measure taken by the Mu Continent to prevent the Honkai of the secret.

After all, there are always people with an excessive thirst for knowledge and curiosity, so they simply add several layers of lies and truth to protect the most crucial information.

"... As the world's technological center, Mu Continent's strength in all aspects is indeed something that all Mu Continent people can be proud of." Kosma held two glasses of cold drinks and handed one to Disaster. "You don't need to keep holding a grudge about this, Disaster."

"Of course I know!" Disaster said breathlessly, finishing her drink. "But I'm just annoyed. That guy... all he did was defeat Varuna, right? And he came all the way to our base to boss us around? Aren't we the ones doing all the cleaning up and suppressing Honkai?"

The guy Disaster was referring to was naturally the young officer who had been confronted by both Elysia and Lilith on the Mu Continent. His name was Lionel, and after the Atlantis era, he was stationed in the Fire Moth Mu Continent resident representative. This was a compromise made by the Fire Moth Council to some people on the Mu Continent. The Mu Continent increased its financial investment in the Fire Moth, and in exchange, the Mu Continent needed to designate personnel to nominally supervise the Fire Moth.

And so came Disaster's current complaints.

Even when I'm training someone, I have to listen to him arrogantly saying that this is unscientific and that is inefficient, that it should be this way or that way. Even if I ask for leave to come here to participate in the arts festival according to the rules, I will be criticized for being undisciplined... Is there something wrong with this guy's head?

It still makes me sick to think about it now!

"Compared to other people who only talk the talk but don't walk the walk, Lionel may have some personality flaws that are hard to accept, but he is indeed capable." Kosma tried to comfort Disaster. "Look, Feng and the others don't seem to care about this."

"Isn't it because that guy got thrashed by Feng a few times? And does Feng even seem to care what kind of people he talks about?" Disaster squinted and complained. "I know that guy has some skills, otherwise he wouldn't have been assigned to our Fire Moth by the King of the Mu Continent. But I just want to complain about his attitude! The key point is attitude, attitude!"

Amo, which side are you standing on?

Kosma remained silent. He thought it was rare for someone to actually have the ability to criticize others. The one who was sent to the Fire Moth in his previous life was a real example of all talk and no action.

"Alright, alright, I was just venting." Disaster took a sip of her drink and said, "Really... whether it's you or Feng, or Kevin and Hua... even Little Pardo seems indifferent, I really don't understand you guys... but it was quite interesting to see that guy getting beaten to a pulp by Qianjie."

Kosma sighed softly. They had seen far more outrageous people. Comparisons are odious. Compared to the bastards they had encountered in their previous lives, Lionel, apart from being a bit sharp-tongued, having a bad personality, and being prone to attracting hatred, at least he was truly capable of getting things done.

Kosma silently mourned in his heart that Lionel had tried to battle Qianjie on his first day at the Fire Moth and ended up getting a beating... Even Kosma was amazed by Lionel's ability to offend people with his mouth.

"Qianjie, I have a slight doubt about your ability to fight the Fourth Law alone."

"Elysia, as the most outstanding warrior of the Fire Moth, don't you think your attitude is a bit lax?"

"Feng, as someone who participated in killing the third and fourth Laws, you... Ah, has your training quota exceeded the daily limit? Just training isn't enough, you still have to take on missions for real combat. Ah, have you already reached the limit for missions this month? Hmph, it seems the Fire Moth isn't so bad after all. I'll consider you qualified for now!"

"Kevin, Dr. Mei. Mei's experiment is very important, and her time is very valuable. You, as someone unrelated to the experiment, shouldn't keep disturbing it! Ah, is Dr. Mei allowing me to come?"

When Zhu Yufeng later talked about this with others, he commented. "Give him some time, and he might be able to criticize all of Fire Moths."

Feng must have meant he'd offended everyone...

However, people don't have a lot of complaints about Lionel. One reason is that he's already experienced everything he was supposed to in his past life. Another reason is that, at least after being beaten up by Qianjie, he didn't try to cause trouble for Qianjie Jie because of his relationship with him. Of course, it's also possible that he didn't dare to...

"Forget it, there's no point in complaining to you!" Disaster glanced around at the people around her. "Sigh, I wonder if things are going well with Little Pardo..."

Kosma snapped out of his reverie, looked at Disaster with a hint of helplessness, and said, "... Actually, I still think it depends more on what Maple himself thinks."

"But I'm so anxious!" Disaster took another sip of her drink. "You don't even know who Little Pardo is facing. I thought Elysia was already ridiculous enough as an opponent, but now we have to add Lilith, who even Elysia can't handle. Sigh... Honestly, I'm even wondering why Little Pardo doesn't choose someone else..."

(It's not that simple. Phyllis and Maple's relationship involves much more than you currently know.)

Disaster glanced at Kosma's expression, then said with a hint of exasperation, "Amo, you're such a blockhead! Let me give you an example to make you understand. Suppose Feng likes me and is pursuing me, wouldn't you feel pressured?"

Kosma thought for a moment, then said, "Your assumption is invalid. If Feng were willing to actively pursue someone, things wouldn't be like this now."

Disaster choked, then tried to struggle. "Then Kevin..."

Kosma narrowed his eyes and said, "He even had the courage to eat Dr. Mei's food..."

Disaster: "..."

This...

Disaster remained silent for a long time, then crossed her arms and tossed her head. "Hmph, Amo, are you saying I'm not charming? I don't believe that the Fire Moth doesn't have someone chasing after me!"

Kosma looked at the stubborn Disaster with a hint of helplessness, then thought to himself how to deal with this situation in the book he had been reading day and night, "One Question for Couples' Communication"...

After a long pause, Kosma said, "Then... I like you, do you like me?"

Disaster: "!"

They've been outmaneuvered!

Meanwhile, Eden is in her oceanfront villa in Australia.

Zhu Yufeng sat on the sofa and read a story to Ling, who was sitting to the side.

What? Where did Elysia and the others go? According to Elysia, it seems they're going to do some things that girls are supposed to do.

Kosma and Disaster separated from them shortly after arriving in Australia to visit the arts festival relatively independently.

Then things turned out like this. Elysia dragged the others to find Eden, but no one knew what they were doing. She said he would find out later. Even Lilith looked mysterious, which made him keep his expectations in mind. Sakura also left Rin behind, asking him to take care of her.

It can't be... a swimsuit, can it?

Speaking of which, he seemed to have seen all the swimsuits here in the game. As for Lilith, he had seen more than one type of swimsuit. Because Lilith had been identified as a dead person in the Fourth Law, she came here using a fake identity. Her signature silver hair was dyed black, and she was wearing red contact lenses.

Kevin originally planned to come along. Kevin was really willing to go all out to support the Feng-Lilith CP. He even tried to persuade May to relax and come along. But then, I don't know if Lilith or Elysia said something to May, but May asked Kevin to stay and keep her company, so Kevin didn't come.

At the same time.

"Leaving Feng alone at the villa to look after the kids, even though he's a bit slow on the uptake, he should at least be able to guess we're getting ready to change into swimsuits, right?" Lilith picked up a swimsuit and looked at it, saying, "Hmm... this one doesn't seem exciting enough..."

"It's okay if he guessed it. He can't possibly know what we're planning to wear, can he?" Elysia said. "But Lilith, tell me the truth, how many times has he seen you in a swimsuit?"

Lilith shrugged. "I don't remember either. Maybe you could confiscate his phone sometime and see how many of the photos I sent him he kept?"

Elysia: "..."

Actually, she had seen them all... Come to think of it, the swimsuits Lilith brought did indeed fit Lilith's style; they were clearly designed to seduce Feng, and were much bolder than her own...

"After all, it's only for him to see." Lilith glanced at Elysia's expression, then picked up another swimsuit and said, "If I were with you, I would change into something else."

"So you finally care about what other people think?" Elysia said, squinting.

"I don't mind," Lilith replied. "It's just that if you all choose such conservative types, it's not appropriate for me to choose different types."

Sakura glanced down at her swimsuit and fell into deep thought.

Are these all conservative types? Ah, if we compare them to what Lilith had before, then they do seem relatively conservative...

Looking at the swimsuit in front of her, Hua hesitated and said, "Is this type more suitable?"

"Uh... I don't really understand why you came along, Hua. I thought you would be at Sister Eden's villa with Brother Yu Feng, playing with Lingmei." Pardo said.

"Hmm..." Hua thought for a moment and then said, "Himiko said that I should also learn to make some changes, but I don't know how. Elysia and Lilith are very popular in the Fire Moth. I'm wondering if I can learn something from them?"

"Hey, Hua," Pardo said, "If Brother Yu Feng were here, he would definitely say that being yourself is the best thing you can do. And don't you think it's a little strange that you chose Sister Elysia and Sister Lilith as your study partners?"

Sister Elysia is very open-minded, Sister Lilith is even more open-minded, Hua, you've clearly chosen the wrong learning goal, haven't you?

"But... I don't know how to be myself." Hua sighed softly. "If it were the old me, I would probably still be at the Fire Moth, either training or meditating, right? But... after spending time together like this, I feel that I might need to make some changes..."

Pardo: "..."

We're not saying Hua, you shouldn't change, but your choice is right, yet it's not quite right. Someone like Sister Daisy would be more suitable, Sister Elysia and Lilith are too difficult for you...
