"Enough, enough, they can't catch up! It's too embarrassing to be carried like this!"

If Chang Yuan were the one princess-carrying Airi, he might have been quite happy.

But being the one princess-carried, he just felt awkward.

To think that he, a man of seven feet, was being held like this by a girl, and one four years younger than him at that, was truly embarrassing.

"Not yet, I can still hear their footsteps chasing us~."

Even while carrying the grown man Chang Yuan, Airi didn't feel the slightest bit tired.

So she had no intention of putting him down.

"Ahhh, whatever you say, then you just keep running."

Chang Yuan lowered his head forcefully, truly not wanting anyone to see him.

Embarrassing, so damn embarrassing. Being princess-carried by a girl. If it weren't Airi, he would have wanted to kill himself.

"Hey, Chang Yuan, don't touch anything."

Feeling a touch on her chest, Airi couldn't help but exclaim.

Only then did Chang Yuan realize he seemed to have touched something he shouldn't have.

He immediately shifted his head away.

"Hmph~, you bad boy, were you doing that on purpose?"

"Oh heavens above, I really didn't! I just felt embarrassed being carried like this, so I wanted to lower my head. I really didn't mean to touch you."

"Tch, who knows? I'll settle the score with you after we've shaken off those guys."

With a soft hum, Airi immediately used her extremely acute hearing to perfectly evade everyone trying to surround her.

Finally, in a small alley, Airi stopped.

"Okay, no one's here for sure."

Click!

"Uh, what a coincidence."

As soon as she opened the door, Velvie saw the two people she had met that morning.

The atmosphere instantly became awkward.

Airi also turned her head away, feeling a bit embarrassed.

She had just confidently declared that no one was here, only for the door to open the next second.

"I'm just going to throw out some trash. This is my temporary base, do you want to come in?"

Back at noon, Velvie had already fenced off the other two items, exchanging them for an equivalent amount of research materials, which were now stored in this temporary laboratory.

"Then we'll trouble you."

Chang Yuan and Airi entered without any hesitation.

After all, they were now considered accomplices.

Seeing them enter so casually, Velvie's mouth twitched slightly.

These two really weren't afraid that she might be a villain. If she were, she would immediately lock the door from the outside and report them, and they'd be finished.

Shaking her head, Velvie disposed of the lab waste and immediately returned to the room, locking all ten internal locks.

"By the way, why are you two running around so late at night? Aren't you looking for a place to rest?"

Taking out her homemade electric kettle, Velvie filled it with water and instantly boiled it in three seconds.

After boiling, she made a cup of milk tea for Airi and Chang Yuan.

"Oh, oh, oh, amazing! You can boil water in three seconds."

Airi, who had witnessed the entire process, was quite astonished.

Hearing the praise from an outsider, Velvie proudly puffed out her chest, reaching up to touch under her nose.

"This is just a small gadget. You haven't seen my truly amazing creations yet. Wait here, I'll go get them for you to see."

Saying that, Velvie put down the three-second electric kettle and ran to the basement.

When she reappeared, she was holding seven or eight small spheres and a device that looked like a computer.

"Heh heh, watch this."

With that, Velvie tossed all the small spheres into the air.

At that very moment, the spheres seemed to float in the air as if they had buoyancy.

"And then this."

Opening the computer-like device, Velvie typed something on the keyboard.

Soon, eight different screens appeared on her computer.

"This is my custom-built computer. Its performance is far superior to anything on the market, and these spheres can monitor in 360 degrees while floating in the air."

Their energy consumption was merely light energy, meaning as long as there was light, their energy source would be inexhaustible.

Of course, that wasn't the main point. If it were just that, the scientists on the continent of Mu could have replicated it with enough time.

The main point is that they also possess this ability."

As she said this, Velvie pressed a button. In an instant, the eight small spheres, like chameleons, changed color with the terrain, eventually becoming transparent.

"This is an invisibility ability I developed. It can even evade all currently known forms of detection, including electromagnetic wave radar and everything else. I call it 'Peeping'... cough... Detective Eye 0019."

"...Impressive."

Besides these two words, Chang Yuan couldn't find anything else to describe Velvie.

A genius among geniuses, a monster among monsters.

She had even arrogantly declared that if she wanted to, she could do anything.

And she truly had the capability to achieve it. If only there had been enough time, perhaps later on, over a dozen Moonlight Thrones would have faced the Herrscher of Finality.

In that scenario, while it might not have guaranteed a victory against the Herrscher of Finality, it would have definitely bought humanity more time, and she herself could have lived to the next era.

If a genius like Velvie lived to the next era, he couldn't imagine what the Finality of the next era would use to fight her. Their lives?

With 50,000 years, he didn't dare to imagine what Velvie could invent. World Peace Missiles? Star Annihilation Ships?

"Oh, right, right, I'm telling you, I've discovered that this world isn't simple."

"...What do you mean?"

Hearing Velvie's words, Chang Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Good heavens, as expected of Velvie. She could detect the traces of Honkai before it was fully exposed.

"I've found that the current air is mixed with some unknown energy. This energy is highly corrosive, but I don't know where it originates from.

At the same time, through these Detective Eyes 0019, I've discovered a mysterious organization. The badges they wear resemble a silver moth lunging towards a flame.

And this organization seems to know what this corrosive energy is."

"..."

Teacher Dawei is amazing.

Although the original story had already mentioned that Teacher Dawei had once single-handedly hacked into Flame-Chasing Moth's system.

But who knew that at the same age, some people were in junior high, some geniuses were in college, while some monsters among monsters were already confronting the strongest force in this world.
