Chapter 216
The video ends here.
Raiden Mei: "Uh, is it really okay for you to entrust such an important matter to me, Vill-V?"
Mei was a little flustered, not because she lacked self-confidence, but because of a rational assessment of the current situation.
Chapter 349 A Decision That Cannot Be Called Rational
So far, in order to deceive everyone and Herrscher of Corruption to the surface, the Flame-Chasers paid a heavy price.
Kevin risked his life on the gun, Chakravartin risked his life to force the murderer to reveal himself, Vill-V fabricated lies to become an ally of the Herrscher of Corruption and get close to her.
However, despite all that they did, they were not guaranteed victory.
Mei felt a lot of pressure that her true self, Original Vill-V, had entrusted her with this task and even her hopes.
Vill-V: "Since it's my Original judgment, it shouldn't be wrong, after all, she's still Vill-V."
Raiden Mei: "This isn't a matter of trust; it's that I don't want you to put all your eggs in one basket."
Her only advantage in facing the Herrscher of Corruption is her non- Memory Body, which, unlike the Memory Body, gives her a certain degree of confidence when facing the Herrscher of Corruption.
Even so, placing hope in that reckless, Mei is definitely not the right decision, much less the rational one.
Vill-V: "Actually, objectively speaking, it's more likely that Extreme Evil would carry out her plan and take down the Herrscher of Corruption by herself."
Theresa: "So powerful? Weren't the Memory Body supposed to be utterly useless against the Herrscher of Corruption?"
Vill-V: "That's true, but Extreme Evil is, after all, the most talented among us, occupying half of Vill-V's mind—that's no joke."
The experts can create the Divine Key, making them unparalleled in the field of engineering machinery, but she is still only one-eighth.
Although they were reluctant to admit it, all of Vill-V knew that Extreme Evil possessed half of the genius, making him far more talented than any of them.
Pardofelis: "Then why don't you let Sister Vill-V Extreme Evil kill the Herrscher of Corruption? Once the Herrscher is gone, everyone will be safe."
Since the ultimate goal of Extreme Evil is to eliminate the Herrscher of Corruption, then they can't be considered an enemy faction.
Moreover, Kevin Annihilation Button had a backdoor; neither she nor Boss Kevin died. The Vill-V, who orchestrated all of this, had meticulously planned it all, and the Herrscher of Corruption was completely unaware.
It feels like the Herrscher of Corruption lost from the very beginning.
Raiden Mei: "Pardo, you haven't forgotten that I and Original Vill-V are also on the list of the Extreme Evil killers, have you?"
Pardofelis: "..."
Kiana: "So, could this be considered another internal conflict between you guys, your own people fighting each other?"
I've gotten used to it, and it's not something that happened overnight. Flame-Chasers's situation is hard to explain.
Unless they share a common and powerful enemy, it is not an easy task to get Flame-Chasers to stand on the same side.
Bronya: "Wait! Bronya remembers, wasn't there a mysterious person who communicated with Kevin before? Could she be the Vill-V?"
Kiana: "Oh right, I almost forgot."
If Bronya hadn't reminded them, everyone would have almost forgotten about this, since their attention was entirely focused on the Memory Body Kevin's selfless sacrifice and Kevin completely different decision.
That mysterious person didn't even show her face, let alone make a sound. How could anyone possibly guess who she was?
But now that I think about it, it's probably the Vill-V has already cooperated with the Herrscher of Corruption.
Kevin: "... It's her."
Raiden Mei: "But isn't her chance of winning only 10%?"
To risk a one in ten chance by putting your only weapon into the chamber—now that I think about it, I understand what Kevin meant.
Kevin is the only one who has a chance to kill the Herrscher of Corruption in the Previous Era Elysian Realm.
While Kevin Annihilation Button has a backdoor that allows him to be used as a surprise attack, it also binds him, preventing him from joining forces with Flame-Chasers to devise a plan against the Herrscher of Corruption.
Elysia: "One percent... that's not low. Thinking about the privileges the Herrscher of Corruption has in the Previous Era Elysian Realm, even I can't help but worry for the Memory Body."
Raiden Mei: "So, if you're placing your hopes on me, what are the chances of success?"
Theresa: "Mei, didn't you think about the answer before you asked this question?"
Raiden Mei: "... Okay, my bad."
The Chat Group was completely silent, making Mei feel a little embarrassed.
But she was too embarrassed to say anything.
After all, Mei from the Elysian Realm is just too reckless, the kind of recklessness that makes your heart tremble.
He survived several times thanks to the Flame-Chasers rescuers.
When facing the Vill-V, he was completely outmatched. If it weren't for the extreme struggle and Original Vill-V's intervention, he would probably have been defeated and become a stepping stone for the Vill-V to kill the Herrscher of Corruption.
Sue: "These things can be put aside for now; there's something more important to do."
The day was not yet over, and Su, still at the Fire Moth, frowned as she looked at the report in her hand.
Alicia: "What is it? Could it be related to the development of the Honkai Energy Serum?"
Su's main purpose in returning this time was to develop and mass-produce the Honkai Energy Serum for the Fire Moth. It seemed that this was the only thing that would bother him and prompt him to notify the other Flame-Chasers immediately.
As for other matters, with the wisdom of Enlightened One, one can handle them entirely on their own.
Su: "That's right. There are currently some problems with the formula adjustment for the Honkai Energy Serum."
856109782 Novel Group
Mobius: "What a joke! With me in charge, what problems could possibly arise? You didn't even hold the report upside down, did you?"
It wasn't directed at Su.
But when he said there were problems with the project, in Mobius's eyes, his attitude was exactly like those executives in Fire Moth, who clearly knew nothing but had nothing better to do than force her to attend meetings.
It's one thing for them to hold meetings when they have nothing better to do, but then a bunch of idiots always pop up and criticize their research findings.
They did absolutely nothing, they were just irreplaceable waste reaping the benefits, yet they dare to comment on her genius-level scientific research achievements.
Those useless, good-for-nothing guys should all be thrown into the toilet to clean toilets if they weren't holding the lab's funds.
The thought of his drastically reduced budget fueled Mobius's deep resentment towards those people.
Su: "I'm not questioning your skill level, Mobius; I'm talking about something else."
Mobius: "Since it's not something you're doing to complicate my research, then it has nothing to do with me."
After saying that, Mobius stopped worrying about it, leaving the people in the Chat Group looking at each other in bewilderment.
Pardofelis: "Um, what's going on? Why is Sister Snake so angry?"
Danzhu: "Pardo, you don't understand what it feels like to be a researcher constrained by funding and forced to listen to advice that high-ups came up with with their asses."
Cang Xuan: "On this point, I completely agree with the doctor's judgment."
Chapter 350 Mobius is dead
Welt: "I can understand. It's like when something is already successfully completed, but the organizers are still not satisfied and insist on adding unnecessary details, resulting in countless revisions and wasted time, only to find that the original version was the best."
At that time, even the most good-tempered producer would get angry.
Not to mention a self-important genius like Mobius.
Theresa: "Welt, you're really holding a grudge. Were those organizers talking about me?"
Welt: "No, I meant the pressure I faced back when I was working on Anti-Entropy. Funding... perhaps that's every scientist's nemesis."
Seeing that things were not going well, Welt once again revealed his identity as a senior researcher of Anti-Entropy.
Although Theresa isn't very bright, the best thing about an organizer like her is that, precisely because she's not very bright, she won't offer any bad advice.
Elysia: "Su, you haven't told me what the problem you're facing yet."
Su: "It's basically about increasing the budget, since the Honkai Energy Serum experiments still need to move to the next stage."
Mobius: "Budget! Increase the budget, and suddenly I find you much more agreeable."
Mobius, who had been engrossed in his work in the lab, suddenly jumped out.
Scientists of her and Vill-V's caliber are not easily coerced by external forces, nor are they attracted by worldly things.
Aside from the incredibly generous budget when Eden was the organizer.
Eden: "It's nothing..."
[Q&A begins.]
[Which Memory Body did Raiden Mei and Pardofelis discover was dead during their exploration of Hua's memories?]
[A: Mobius.]
[B: Chakravartin.]
[C: Apponia.]
[D: Cosmo.]
Mobius: "Tsk..."
Just as he was about to secure funding for the road expansion, the system's interruption sent Mobius's spirits plummeting.
Pardofelis: "Another one died? But it shouldn't matter, since Kevin Annihilation Button has a backdoor."
After learning this news, Pardofelis became much bolder.
Since I won't die, I can let the Herrscher of Corruption and the Vill-V cause as much trouble as they want.
Sakura: "Let's not take any chances. Kevin Annihilation Button has a backdoor, but the Herrscher of Corruption doesn't."
If Herrscher of Corruption, then they are truly gone.
Bronya: "When Vill-V and Sister Mei were confronting each other, Chakravartin should have been fighting the Herrscher of Corruption, so the person who died in my memory wouldn't be him."
When she used the Consciousness Collector to prove her innocence, the Vill-V hadn't even revealed her identity yet.
Bronya: "As for Apponia... Apponia is even more impossible."
At that time, Apponia was still perfectly fine.
Pardofelis: "So, it's a choice between Sister Snake and Amo?"
Cosmo: "..."
Cosmo wasn't worried about his own death, but rather what would happen to Griseo after he died, and whether she would become the first target of the Herrscher of Corruption. This was what worried him greatly.
Mobius: "Heh, is there even a need to think about it? With Elysia, Kevin, Chakravartin, Vill-V all [fallen], the Herrscher of Corruption's primary target is naturally me."
[Correct answer.]
Theresa: "Mobius is dead?"
Kiana: "That's fake, unless I see it with my own eyes, I'll never believe such a thing again."
After playing Werewolf in the Elysian Realm for a while, everyone has realized that being judged dead doesn't necessarily mean you're dead. Some people may appear to be dead, but are actually still alive and well.
It can even jump back and forth repeatedly!
Mobius: "Heh, you guys do have some discernment."
[Congratulations to Mobius for winning the reward: Life Coin.]
Mobius: "Oh? It seems I've gained another experimental sample."
This wasn't the only Life Coin that Mobius possessed; she had obtained one before, but because she couldn't bear to use it... she wanted to place it on the lab table for research, so she kept it until now.
I'm in a slightly better mood.
Mobius put the Life Coin into his pocket and then looked at the screen. After all, it was her own death, which still interested Mobius.
In the scene, Raiden Mei is in complete darkness, quiet and eerie. The place feels somewhat familiar to her, but her brain instinctively rejects it.
This was a place that didn't make her very happy.
The blurred scene gradually became clear, Mei finally realized where she was: Mobius's laboratory, where a fierce battle had once taken place.
At this moment, the laboratory was filled with silence, and the experimental data was a jumbled mess, turned into incomprehensible code.
Could it be...?
Raiden Mei realized something and instinctively ran deeper into the laboratory.
