After all, strictly speaking, I can't really be considered a member of the human camp right now!

So, they have a lot of tasks now, since all over the world, large and small Honkai events are constantly breaking out.

The Emperor-class Honkai Beast, which used to appear almost exclusively when Herrscher was born, now appear every few days. Occasionally, even Judgment-class Judgment-class Honkai Beast -Judgment-class Honkai Beast, and they can appear on their own without needing to be accompanied by Herrscher!

Faced with an enemy of this caliber, apart from the three giants, there are fewer than five Fused Warriors in the entire Flame-Chasing Moths who can contend with it!

As for Seele...

That girl is currently training with Sakura and Elysia. Although there's no plan to have her take the initiative, in this era, increasing her self-defense capabilities is definitely not a wrong choice, so Ling Xi just lets her be.

"Hey, let's go to the training ground and see if we've been slacking off lately!"

Thinking of this, Ling Xi headed straight for the training ground. Although he was no longer involved in the war against the Honkai, he had not given up on becoming stronger. Even if it was a promise from the gods, Ling Xi could not completely believe it, because the truth is that the strongest fist is the only true force, and this saying will never be outdated!

Ling Xi wouldn't be so stupid as to think she's safe and choose to give up the use of force. Only Er Mao would believe such a foolish thing!

"Big brother, big brother! I really went to the wrong place, please don't slice me up! I'm of no research value whatsoever!"

Just as Ling Xi was heading to the training ground, she suddenly heard a girl screaming from the road ahead, and this sound...

It sounds familiar, but... I can't quite place it.

Chapter 407: Sister Yoimiya?

Hearing the somewhat familiar voice coming from ahead, Ling Xi hesitated for a moment before quickly moving closer, both out of curiosity about the person who made the voice and about what had happened ahead!

Upon turning the corner, they discovered that two soldiers from the Flame-Chasing Moths were supporting a blonde girl on each arm, and they were walking towards the interior of the base. The voice that Ling Xi had just heard was clearly coming from this girl.

"I said, what happened here?"

Ling Xi walked straight over and questioned the two guards!

"Sir!"

Upon seeing Ling Xi, the two soldiers immediately saluted with one hand. They could not possibly not recognize Ling Xi, and Ling Xi now held an important position in the Flame-Chasing Moths. If necessary, he could directly issue orders to the troops, making him a powerful figure!

"Help! Boss..."

The girl seized the opportunity to break free, but didn't run away immediately, because she wasn't stupid and knew she couldn't escape. So...

She grabbed Ling Xi's leg and sobbed, "These people are so scary, they're going to slice me into pieces, help me, boss..."

Ling Xi "..."

Soldier"..."

Ling Xi was somewhat speechless, but still looked at the two soldiers and asked, "What's going on? I remember that we Flame-Chasing Moths have a clear rule that all experiments are voluntary, right?"

"Sir, you've misunderstood. It's like this..."

The soldier quickly explained, "This girl came in with a Fused Warrior application form, and we were going to proceed with the Hypervariable Surgery as usual. But then she suddenly changed her mind and claimed that she wasn't the person in question, but rather that she had found the application form. So we checked it and found that it was true. Therefore, this girl is a suspected intruder, and we are planning to take her in for questioning..."

Ling Xi "..."

Hearing this, Ling Xi was even more speechless. She silently looked at the girl. Good heavens, she even dared to pick up this kind of application form. And not only did she pick it up, but she actually dared to come here. All I can say is...

You're really something else!

"Boss, it's a misunderstanding. I was just planning to stock up on some goods... wait, no, I was just curious about the headquarters of the Flame-Chasing Moths and wanted to come in and take a look, but..."

The girl said with a wronged expression, "Don't worry, boss, I didn't see or hear anything. I'm no threat to you at all!"

That sound...

After the girl had been rambling on and on, Ling Xi gradually remembered the voice. Wasn't that... Sister Yoimiya?

Although there are some differences, the timbre and tone are very similar!

After all, Ling Xi knew very well that voice actors were all monsters, so this girl might really have some connection with Yoimiya!

Of course, the relationship Ling Xi is referring to here isn't a direct relationship, but rather a "Brother Kaku" relationship. In other words, if the other person were just a random passerby, then there would obviously be no need for them to appear in the Honkai Impact 3rd game, and naturally, there wouldn't be any voice acting. But...

If the other person is a main character or someone who joins the ship, then naturally they need voice acting, and now the other person's voice sounds a lot like Yoimiya's, so...

Is it possible that this girl is also a character from the Honkai Impact 3rd, only... a character who appeared after I transmigrated? After all, when I transmigrated, Mihoyo already had two characters from the Previous Era, Mobius and Elysia, so...

It wouldn't be surprising if Mihoyo released more Previous Era characters later.

So, Ling Xi asked, "What's your name?"

"Um... I... my name is Pardofelis, you can just call me Felis ..."

Felis had originally intended to use a pseudonym, but considering that Flame-Chasing Moths would definitely know her information, lying would be pointless and might even arouse deeper suspicion, so she honestly confessed.

"Pardofelis ..."

Ling Xi repeated the name softly. Hmm... it sounded somewhat familiar, but she definitely didn't know the person. But...

Ling Xi sized up the other person. This girl... is quite pretty. Her face and appearance are definitely those of a beautiful young woman!

Of course, Ling Xi's concern about whether the other person is pretty or not is not because she has any special thoughts, but because whether in games or anime, pretty girls are most likely not just random NPCs, but either one of the heroines or a character with a storyline!

And now, with her beautiful appearance and voice acting that seems to be based on Yoimiya, plus the fact that both Honkai Impact and Genshin Honkai are Mihoyo games, so...

Ling Xi thinks that this Pardofelis is probably a character from Honkai Impact 3rd, but it's hard to say whether she's the kind who goes on board the ship!

"Alright, leave her to me."

After thinking it over for a bit, Ling Xi felt it was worth making contact with them. If they were indeed a shipboard character, and from Previous Era that, they would definitely be among the strongest in that civilization. It would be a good idea to try and win them over first!

Although with my current strength, I don't need to win anyone over, every additional ally adds to my power, and who would complain about having too little? So...

Ling Xi plans to make contact with the other party first!

"Yes, sir!"

Although both soldiers found Ling Xi's orders a bit strange, they still chose to obey. However... they were still somewhat curious, after all, everyone in the Flame-Chasing Moths knew about Ling Xi, Elysia, and Mobius's affair, and now...

Uh, never mind, I didn't see anything, otherwise I would definitely have gotten a spot in the assault team tomorrow!

"Phew, I'm saved, I'm saved, thank you so much, boss."

Seeing the two soldiers leave, Felis breathed a sigh of relief. She had almost thought she was really going to be sliced to pieces; thankfully, she was saved...

"Felis, do you know me?"

Ling Xi asked casually.

"Of course I know them!"

Felis immediately replied from the bottom of her heart, "Ling Xi, the boss who single-handedly eliminated the Third and Fourth Herrscher back then, is still a boss now. Boss, from now on you are my boss!"

Ling Xi was not surprised by this answer.

"So what was your purpose in sneaking into the headquarters of the Flame-Chasing Moths?"

Ling Xi planned to ask the girl again why she had sneaked into headquarters.

"Me? Uh..."

Speaking of this, Felis seemed a little conflicted. After all... she had come to buy goods, but if she dared to say that, she was afraid Ling Xi would just throw her into Mobius's Demon Cave Laboratory...

"Coo coo..."

Just then, Felis's stomach growled...

"Uh... sorry, I haven't eaten anything all day..."

Felis seemed a little embarrassed...

Ling Xi: "..." Speaking of which, could this girl have sneaked into headquarters just to freeload a meal?

Chapter 408: Young lady, I see you have extraordinary talent; you're perfect material for a guinea pig!

"Whew... I'm full! I've always heard that the Flame-Chasing Moths have good food, and I didn't expect it to be true!"

A moment later, Felis patted her belly with a satisfied look on her face, feeling great!

Recently, due to the riots, her business has become difficult. In addition, the various disturbances have made it hard for her to continue her original work. Furthermore, with food rationing, she has been truly hungry for a day.

"Now that you're full, tell me why you sneaked into headquarters."

Ling Xi remained calm, not in a hurry at all, and said with a smile, "I don't believe you're really just here to freeload a meal."

"Hey... okay, I won't lie to you anymore, actually I came in to look for some junk."

Felis said with a hint of helplessness, "Things have been a bit turbulent outside lately, and business isn't good. The best-selling items on the black market right now are all sorts of Stigmata Gene and Hypervariable Factor. Of course, I didn't originally have any interest in these things, after all, I don't have the guts, but..."

"Well... just yesterday, I found a document about the Flame-Chasing Moths, so I was thinking of sneaking in, and then... cough cough, maybe take some of the genes you don't want or something, but..."

At this point, Felis spread her hands and smiled helplessly, "Who knew that it was someone who applied to be Fused Warrior? But I've heard that the mortality rate for Fused Warrior is extremely high, and I'm terrified of dying, so I could only... well, you know the rest."

Ling Xi: "..." I think it's not unfair that you were arrested, you little girl. Goodness, you even managed to steal something right at the headquarters of the Flame-Chasing Moths.

"How did you get in here? Just with that application form?"

Ling Xi was still curious about this, since the information on the application form couldn't possibly match Felis's, yet this girl had somehow managed to get in. This made Ling Xi wonder if the girl had used some special methods, such as...

Should they scale walls and rooftops, or learn from Duckling and directly hack and crack the code?

"So you just got in like that?"

Felis looked puzzled and said, "I took the application form to the door, and the guard let me in. Then I was led to a laboratory..."

Ling Xi: "???"

Holy crap, they didn't even verify my identity? And...

Isn't this level of security at headquarters a bit outrageous? They let unidentified individuals in so easily. Thankfully, no Thousand-Man Herrscher have been created yet, otherwise, with this level of security at headquarters...

Ling Xi "..."

At this moment, Ling Xi seemed to understand why the Thousand-Man Herrscher were able to cause such great damage to the Flame-Chasing Moths organization in the original story—because...

With the level of security at headquarters, it would be almost as difficult for an enemy to sneak in as it is to sweep up a shared bicycle. It's really outrageous!

However, this is to be expected, since humanity is now largely united, Flame-Chasing Moths are humanity's only governing body, so...

The Flame-Chasing Moths' vigilance is primarily directed at the Honkai, while their detection of humans is basically just a formality.

It seems I need to talk to the Doctor about this. This matter must be taken seriously, otherwise, when the Thousand-Man Herrscher appears, humanity will probably pay a heavy price again. However, before that, I need to deal with Felis, after all, she is one of the characters in the game.

Moreover, although I don't remember the name Felis very clearly, it seems that the shop in the Elysian Realm was called Felis something, um... never mind, I can't remember.

Felis, what are your plans for the future?

Clearly, Ling Xi intends to bring Felis into the group, but she can't be too direct, lest she scare her away and it backfire.

"Well..."

Felis hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and sighed, "To be honest, I don't know either. The current situation is just too unfriendly to freelancers like us. And the Honkai 3rd destroyed my house a while ago. I'm back to square one, sob sob..."

At this point, Felis felt a pang of sadness. The place she used to live in, while not exactly a mansion, was at least draft-free, but...

Those damn Honkai Beast! They just crushed my house in one go, and with a few rips, it was all gone!

Fortunately, the Canned Food came with me when I went to buy supplies; otherwise, I would have lost my only companion.

Ling Xi "..."

After hearing Felis's story, Ling Xi really wanted to ask her if she knew someone named Raven...

"How about joining the Flame-Chasing Moths?"

After learning about Felis's current situation, Ling Xi immediately extended an invitation. Although, based on her prediction of the plot, Felis would most likely join the Flame-Chasing Moths, her joining voluntarily and her being invited by Ling Xi were two different things, after all...

If nothing unexpected happens, this girl will likely become Fused Warrior, and... she'll probably be a very strong one!

"Eh..."

Felis hesitated for a moment and asked, "But someone like me, even if I joined the Flame-Chasing Moths, I would probably be fired very quickly, right? After all, I... know almost nothing about the Flame-Chasing Moths's work."

"Heh, I was talking about Fused Warrior."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "Felis, I can see that you have extraordinary bones and are a martial arts genius that is one in a million. You have the basic elements to become a strong person, so I think your probability of Hypervariable Surgery should be 100%, and once you become Fused Warrior..."

Ling Xi said in a serious tone, "Not only does it include food and accommodation, but the benefits are also quite good. Family members can also receive extra supplies every day. After all, you know, at times like these, food can't be bought with money!"

"This..."

Felis was clearly tempted, but she still asked with slight worry, "But I've heard that the mortality rate for Hypervariable Surgery is very high, I'm afraid..."
