Honkai Energy Reaction / Mutation

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that there seemed to be something pressing down under the photo frame on the table.

Suddenly jolted awake, the girl rushed to the table, picked up the photo frame, and saw the paper with writing on it.

[You can stay in this house temporarily until I return, or until that person comes here. I have only one request: if the person in the photo comes here, give him this key. I have ways of knowing if you've complied. You should know the consequences of trespassing. Finally, eavesdropping in the closet is not a good habit.]

An inconspicuous key was placed under the paper.

"What... what should I do..." The girl put down the paper, her eyes glazed over.

Suddenly, she was tied up in this house.

"Doctor Einstein?"

Vill-V stopped turning the wrench and turned around to look at Mei with curiosity.

May mentioned the name abruptly while discussing Prometheus Unit 2 with her.

"I remember she's the one who proposed the theory of relativity, right?" Vill-V searched her forgotten memories. "She's currently conducting quantum mechanics research at the Sixth Branch on the Mu Continent. What's wrong?"

Mei said, "Because of the decreasing temperature trend on the Mu Continent, most of the researchers will be relocated, and Doctor Einstein will come to headquarters."

"... So? We're going to throw a 'Science Crazy Girl' party? Should we go tell Mobius next?"

"If God rolled a four-person thought die and got thirteen, then I, Mobius, and Doctor Einstein would all get threes, and you would get one extra point, Vill-V." Mebius rarely complained about Vill-V's out-of-tune way of thinking.

Vill-V smiled nonchalantly, "Not necessarily. Doctor Einstein wasn't necessarily a very reliable person either."

"You're right, Einstein wasn't necessarily a very serious guy, and... God doesn't play dice." A slightly hoarse female voice came from the communicator in May's hand. "God is only responsible for eating chocolate."

I could not see the person, but only hear their voice.

Vill-V raised an eyebrow. "Hmm... I think this must be Doctor Einstein?"

"Dr. Vill-V, nice to meet you, or rather, nice to meet you again in fourteen hours and forty-three minutes."

"Doctor? Interesting. This is the first time someone has called me that besides Number One. But I'd like to add the word 'Great Doctor,' it sounds very impressive."

The relaxed atmosphere was not difficult for the two witty people, but Einstein's contact was not just to chat with May and Vill-V; he quickly got to the point.

"Artificial Intelligence has always been an interesting topic. From all aspects, this era has the potential to give birth to true Artificial Intelligence." Einstein chose an easy-to-understand topic as a starting point. "The Turing test, the three principles of robotics, the concept of the intelligent machine crisis... Perhaps many people still think that they only exist in fantasy, but they never expected that someone has actually created new life."

Vill-V shrugged and said, "Doctor Einstein, if you want to discuss Artificial Intelligence, I suggest you do it with Doctor Mei. In the family lineage of Prometheus Unit 1 I, I am at most a surrogate mother."

"But I am also interested in surrogacy. To put it more bluntly, I am very interested in the techniques of Doctor Mei and Dr. Vill-V."

Einstein smiled and said, "Artificial Intelligence and bionic machines, and a little personal idea of mine."

"Oh, then we can have a proper talk in fourteen hours and forty minutes."

"That's right, maybe before that, we can also have a line of crazy science girls."

Chapter Sixty-Eight Honkai Energy Reaction

"This is Honkai Beast..." Anna got goosebumps after seeing the Charge-type Honkai Beast that had been turned into a frequency transmitter. This creation, which violated biology, would make anyone with conventional aesthetic sense feel deeply uncomfortable.

Lin moved Anna away to a safe distance, with Hua keeping watch beside her, before Lin turned on the frequency transmitter.

The frequency of Honkai Beast cannot be detected by the human body, so there will be no discomfort after activating them.

The selected location is the place along the route taken by the killed Honkai zombie before his death, where Honkai zombie and Honkai Beast are most likely to be hiding. Disguise and evacuation work have been done, so no one else will come to disturb us.

After turning on the device... nothing happened.

There were no sound effects or running effects; it was as quiet as a graveyard.

"Um..." Anna wanted to say something to Hua beside her.

Hua simply made a "shh" gesture to her, indicating that she should not make a sound.

At the same time, multiple squads in other parts of Tran were also carrying out the same operation, conducting a city-wide search.

"..." Lin Xinping stood calmly in place, waiting silently.

This wait lasted for two hours.

"Captain, there's a slight Honkai Energy reaction at the three o'clock position."

Immer's words made Hua's heart tighten. She looked at Lin and saw Lin nod to her and then walk in the direction Immer had indicated.

"Captain, there's a slight Honkai Energy reaction at the seven o'clock position."

Elysia, who had been resting with her eyes closed, opened them.

"Captain, there's a slight Honkai Energy reaction at the nine o'clock position."

He stopped inspecting the equipment.

Lin followed Immer's instructions to the location where the Honkai Energy reaction originated.

He looked up and around, then fell silent when he saw the open lawn that could be used for horseback riding.

"Immer, are you still reacting?"

Yes, it continues to exist.

"..."

Lin looked around again, and after confirming that there was nowhere to hide, he took out his detection device.

The detector did not show any Honkai Energy reaction.

[Lin, there is Honkai Energy reaction nearby]

But even Prometheus made the same judgment as Immer, which shows that there is indeed something unusual here.

He focused his gaze on the ground.

Will it be underground?

It's possible that Honkai Beast capable of burrowing underground exist.

Elysia and her teammates arrived at the apartment building. After a brief moment of tacit silence, they divided the work and had several people enter the building to check the water meters one by one.

"Captain, what should we do next?"

Elysia looked at the teammate who asked the question with a puzzled expression.

"Is that even a question? Surround them."

"..."

Hen walked to the edge of the riverbank, looked down at the still, stagnant water, and reacted in the same way as Lin.

Are you sure this is the place?

"That's right, Captain."

"..."

After thinking for a moment, Hen instructed his team members to split up and explore along the riverbank.

"Drop--"

"Lin, how's the situation on your end?"

It seems that Elysia has confirmed the information about Lin's side.

"... There is a slight Honkai Energy reaction, but no abnormalities have been detected yet." Lin squatted on the ground, using the bio-detector on his helmet to search for traces of Honkai Beast.

"It's about the same here, I'm checking the water meter... What about Hen's over there?"

"Drop--"

"This is Hen. A slight Honkai Energy reaction has been detected near me. Other teams, please respond."

"..."

Honkai Energy reactions occurred simultaneously in three locations?

This made Elysia and Lin realize that things seemed to be more complicated than they appeared.

"Lin? Elysia? What happened on your end?" Having not received a reply from the two, Hen assumed something was wrong and asked repeatedly.

Elysia asked, "Hen, where did you find the location of the Honkai Energy reaction?"

"The river in Tran's city may have been Honkai Energy; we are currently searching for it."

Where is Lin?

"There's nothing there, it's probably underground."

"I'm in a residential building, so if I'm not mistaken..."

Even if Hen couldn't keep up with the situation, he still discovered the problem.

"You've also seen Honkai Energy reactions over there? And Lin hasn't found anything yet?"

This was originally an experimental attempt to attract Honkai Beast, but unexpectedly, three reactions occurred. However, upon closer reflection, why Honkai Energy react and not any other Honkai Beast?

"Despair."

Sakura landed in front of her own door, reaching out to knock, but stopped abruptly just before her hand touched the door, glancing down at her attire and the sword at her waist.

After a moment's thought, she nimbly leaped onto the roof, circled around, and then jumped down to squat in front of Ling's bedroom window.

"My sister still hasn't come back today..."

The sound of bells came sighing from the window, making Sakura's heart tighten, and she gripped the knife even tighter.

When leaving, Sakura lied to Rin, saying that she had some work to do and was going on a business trip, and that other people would come to take care of her occasionally, so she should wait at home.

The others were naturally the ones the Speaker had promised to take care of Rin on the condition that he would. However, after Sakura's betrayal, that man probably stopped taking care of Rin. To check on Rin's safety, Sakura took some time today to come back and investigate.

After finding that Rin was alright, she breathed a sigh of relief. The Poisoned Cocoon Squad's operation was nearing completion. Apart from the unknown person she had fought that day, everything else was proceeding according to Doctor Mei's plan, and she would soon be able to return to Rin's side.

However, she then recalled Doctor Mei's words before she left, which were almost devoid of any superfluous emotion.

'The moths that chase the flame need people like you, and you should also need moths that chase the flame.'

The Honkai will continue to erupt, and even those outside the Firefly cannot grasp Honkai movements. When destruction will befall them is unknown.

But Sakura didn't want Rin to come into contact with the Fire-Chasing Moth, or rather... she didn't want Rin to see her true face.

A car stopped by the roadside, and a man in a black suit got out. This caught Ying's attention. She jumped back onto the roof and approached the door with a serious expression, looking at the familiar-looking man.

Is this person one of the speaker's subordinates?

Sakura had already placed her hand on the hilt of the sword.

"Who is it?" Ling asked as she arrived at the door.

The man said, "It's me, Miss Ling."

"It's Uncle." To Sakura's surprise, Rin opened the door immediately after hearing his voice.

The man didn't come in, but stood at the door and asked, "This week's living expenses have been deposited into your card. Have you encountered any difficulties recently?"

"No, you don't need to keep sending money. I can't even spend that much money in a month... I haven't been having any difficulties lately..."

"No, it's my duty."

"When will my sister be back?"

"Ms. Sakura is still working, please understand."

"...All right."

Sakura watched incredulously as the man got into the car and drove away.

That man actually kept his promise after Sakura betrayed him?
