Kevin, dressed in the uniform of Flame-Chasing Moths soldier, holding a weapon and wearing a helmet, appeared to be on patrol. Upon seeing Ling Xi, he immediately approached her.

"Kevin, it's been a long time."

Upon seeing Kevin, Ling Xi greeted him with a smile. Come to think of it, she hadn't seen Kevin since Kevin and Mei joined the Flame-Chasing Moths that day, and she wondered which area he was in charge of.

"Yes, it's been a few days since I last saw you, and Miss Elysia, I never expected to see you here."

Kevin naturally knew Elysia, after all, after he officially enlisted, Elysia was still his nominal superior, although... this girl was a master of slacking off who was rarely seen!

"Uh-huh."

Elysia nodded slightly and smiled, "I heard you've been doing quite well lately, ranking at the top in both training and theory."

"Hehe, it's alright. By the way, what's this all about..."

Actually, Kevin initially just wanted to say hello to Ling Xi after seeing Ling Xi, but he didn't expect the girl next to Ling Xi to be Elysia, and the key point is...

Wait, why is Elysia linking arms with Ri? And they look so intimate, but...

As far as I know, Ling Xi's girlfriend is Seele, right? Although after arriving at this research institute, I received even more explosive news, which is... Ling Xi and Mobius have already registered their marriage.

Kevin was already quite impressed at the time. Brother Ling Xi was a role model for us all. His wife was Mobius, his girlfriend was Seele, and now Elysia... well, it was a bit... you know.

"We're going to take a tour around the outside of the research institute."

Elysia gave a direct answer: taking a walk and patrolling are not contradictory.

"Forehead..."

Kevin really wanted to say that wasn't what he wanted to ask, but... never mind, it's their private matter, and it's best not to pry, besides...

Ling Xi and Elysia, there's probably something going on between them, but I'd better pretend I didn't see anything today, because the more I know, the faster I'll get into trouble!

"Then I won't bother you any longer. I still have to go to training. Goodbye, Brother Ling Xi."

So Kevin simply slipped away.

"Hehe, Ling Xi, it seems... our relationship has been misunderstood."

Elysia looked at Ling Xi with a smile.

"Misunderstand?"

Ling Xi glanced at Elysia and chuckled softly, "Let it be a misunderstanding. Besides... we probably aren't mistaken."

"Yes... it's not a misunderstanding."

At this moment, Elysia could clearly feel that Ling Xi's attitude towards her was... much gentler, and she was a little unaccustomed to it.

Because if Ling Xi were to be so gentle and compliant, then he wouldn't be able to tease Ling Xi anymore.

Chapter 190: Violence must be defeated by violence!

"So, this is what's bothering you?"

While strolling around the streets with Elysia, Ling Xi also took the opportunity to tell Elysia about what she had discussed with Mobius earlier.

"I never imagined that you, who initially chose to abandon the millions of people in Changkong City, would actually consider the lives of a few thousand people."

Listening to Ling Xi's words, Elysia looked at Ling Xi with some curiosity. She felt... as if she didn't understand Ling Xi anymore.

"It depends on the situation, doesn't it?"

Ling Xi spread his hands slightly and smiled, "Changkong City is an unavoidable situation. If we forcibly change it, it may cause even greater losses. Therefore, the sacrifice of millions of people is unavoidable, while the lives of these few thousand soldiers are in vain sacrifices!"

"Heh, so... in the end, the lives of millions are no match for Seele alone, right?"

Elysia stared at Ling Xi with a meaningful look, and smiled slightly, "And because of Seele alone, nearly half of the millions of people in Changkong City survived. Perhaps, the person they should thank the most is not you, but... Seele."

"That was out of necessity."

If it were the old Ling Xi, she would never have explained to Elysia, because there was no need. But given their current relationship, Ling Xi is willing to tell Elysia some things, since she is one of their own.

Therefore, Ling Xi could only say, "Before that, I had no intention of fighting the Third Herrscher, because the price of using Herrscher power is far greater than you think... um..."

"Shh..."

At this point, Elysia placed her index finger against her lips and smiled, "Alright, you don't need to say anything more. I know, and besides..."

Elysia leaned gently against Ling Xi, then whispered in her ear, but this time Elysia wasn't trying to tease Ling Xi. Instead, she said softly, "Walls have ears. I suggest we talk about this when we get home tonight."

Ling Xi "..."

Ling Xi looked around. This was the side of the road, and there was no one else within ten meters.

"Lip reading, you idiot..."

Seeing that Ling Xi seemed a little confused, Elysia remained close to Ling Xi. To outsiders, they appeared to be just a simple, affectionate couple. Elysia, using Ling Xi and her own concealment, continued to whisper a reminder, "You know, everyone in the world speaks the same language, so just by looking at how they speak, you can guess most of what they're saying. But now..."

Elysia continued to lower her voice and chuckled softly, "There are at least ten Flame-Chasing Moths within a hundred meters of us, watching us all the time, so... don't say anything out loud when you're outside."

Ling Xi: "???"

Upon hearing Elysia's words, Ling Xi couldn't help but look around. Was this really necessary to be so exaggerated?

However, thinking about the guy I met during my last walk with Seele, well... well, that doesn't seem so surprising.

"Then... what happened in the car last time...?"

Since someone was watching her, Ling Xi suddenly felt a little uneasy, after all, there was the time she and Elysia were in the car together... drinking milk tea.

"Don't worry, we closed the windows at the time."

Elysia chuckled mischievously, "Otherwise, why do you think I closed the window?"

"Since you already knew about this, why didn't you tell me?"

Ling Xi looked at Elysia with some dissatisfaction. This girl should have told him about being monitored earlier. After all... nobody likes being monitored.

"Because I think you should know, right?"

Elysia shrugged and laughed, "After all, you're such an important person now, do you think the Flame-Chasing Moths wouldn't pay attention to you? Well... you really don't know."

Ling Xi "..."

"Elysia, do you know who they are?"

After hesitating for a moment, Ling Xi made a decision. She didn't want to be constantly watched, so... the flies had to be eliminated!

"The agents of the Flame-Chasing Moths are not incompetent, and this is not my area of expertise either."

Elysia blinked and smiled, "So, I estimate I can find at most half. Maybe next time you call Sakura, she'll definitely be able to find them all."

"No need, I have a better way."

Ling Xi took out her phone and dialed the number the Flame-Chasing Moths liaison officer had given her last time...

"Um?"

Elysia didn't recognize the phone number, but the area code... well, without a doubt, it Flame-Chasing Moths.

"Mr. Ling, is there anything I can do for you?"

As soon as the call connected, a familiar voice came from the other end—it was the man I had met that day.

"It's nothing..."

Ling Xi calmly said, "It's just that I suddenly remembered an unpleasant thing. When my Doctor and I came to the Mu Continent for a seminar, we were followed in the same way. Of course, neither then nor now, I have the ability to find all the people involved, so..."

"Um... Mr. Ling, you may have misunderstood..."

The person on the other end seemed to want to explain further...

Ling Xi completely ignored him and simply said, "So I've decided to destroy everything within a hundred meters of me in one minute. Some of you might not have had enough of my performance in Changkong City last time, so... I'll perform it again now."

"Mr. Ling..."

The other party was immediately dumbfounded. This was... this was in the city! Although it wasn't a particularly bustling area, there were at least several hundred people within a 100-meter radius. The crucial point was that this was the outskirts of the research institute. If an explosion occurred here, the consequences...

"Beep beep... Beep beep..."

However, before he could say anything, the call was disconnected.

Liaison officer "..."

"Eh..."

Standing next to Ling Xi and listening to the whole thing, Elysia was also a little... conflicted. This guy's way of solving problems is really quite unique.

"Um... should I excuse myself for a moment?"

Elysia looked at Ling Xi with a smile. After all, this guy wanted to destroy everything within a hundred meters. Although such a thing was unlikely to actually happen, she could cooperate with him.

"Um..."

Seeing Elysia's expression, Ling Xi immediately understood, nodded, and smiled, "Go ahead, but don't go too far."

"Okay."

Elysia smiled and nodded, then turned and ran away...

Elysia's actions further unsettled some of the agents nearby. "Is she serious?"

Then, Ling Xi took out the Star Destroyer. There was no other way; the Dawnbreaker was gone, so he could only make do with the Star Destroyer. Besides, the Star Destroyer seemed to be more useful for causing destruction.

Although innocent people would inevitably be harmed within a hundred meters, he had his bottom line, and... he didn't believe that the Flame-Chasing Moths would really dare to let him destroy everything within a hundred meters.

If they really insist on doing this anyway, then...

Rather than having such an organization lead humanity in the fight against the Honkai and follow the storyline, it would be better to just reboot now!

Chapter 191: So what if I become a dog for Miss Fairy?

"Duwuwuwu..."

Just as Ling Xi was watching the countdown, her phone vibrated. It was the same number calling earlier, so she answered it immediately!

"Mr. Ling Xi."

The voice on the phone sounded very respectful, saying, "I'm sorry, we didn't manage our subordinates well. This was a decision made by a certain congressman without the organization's knowledge, and the members used were all temporarily recruited. It has nothing to do with our organization. We have now ordered them all to leave and will give that congressman a warning. Please stay calm."

Ling Xi: "..." Classic temporary worker...

"Alright then, but..."

Ling Xi smiled very gently, "If there is a next time, I plan to turn 100 meters into 1,000 meters. After all, I'm not very smart. If I can't find the enemy, I'll destroy them all. That way, the enemy will be eliminated. Of course, you can doubt whether I can do it."

"No, no..."

The person on the other end of the phone quickly explained, laughing, "We will definitely manage our subordinates more strictly in the future to ensure that similar incidents will not happen again. If you discover anything like this again, please give me your phone number immediately, and I will definitely give you an explanation!"

"Okay, then let's do it this way."

Ling Xi put away the Star Destroyer. After all, he never really intended to destroy 100 meters. After all, harming the innocent was not in his nature, but the Flame-Chasing Moths too far.

"Mr. Ling Xi, please continue your conversation with Miss Elysia. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything. Farewell!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone immediately, and at the same time, he understood that Ling Xi...

It's not as harmonious as it seems on the surface. Just kidding. Back in the Mu Continent, they killed several assassins and even single-handedly took down the Third Herrscher in Changkong City. To push one's luck in front of such an existence is truly courting death.

"Oh..."

After the call ended, Ling Xi couldn't help but laugh. Sure enough, while violence can't solve everything, it can often solve most problems, and as for the remaining ones...

It's mostly because it's not violent enough.

"Elysia".

Ling Xi quickly waved to Elysia had already walked dozens of meters away, and called out to her, "You can come back now."

"Whoosh..."

Hearing this, Elysia breathed a slight sigh of relief, because she had genuinely been prepared for Ling Xi to cause trouble, after all...

She was really afraid that the Flame-Chasing Moths's higher-ups would stubbornly resist, but thankfully, at least for now, the worst outcome didn't happen.

"Elysia, can you check if anyone's still here?"

Ling Xi approached Elysia affectionately. At least for now, the people she could trust besides the Doctor and Seele were Elysia and Klein.
