I Am In a Honkai and Genshin Chat Group

Chapter 357: Mobius: I Beg You...



In the cafe provided for Fire Moth personnel to rest.

A strikingly handsome young man and a beautiful young woman sat facing each other in a corner.

“What should we do?”

The girl’s solemn eyes stared straight at the young man opposite her, wanting him to come up with a solution.

“How about…”

The young man paused for a moment. “We blow up Fire Moth.”

The atmosphere grew tense.

“You’re joking?”

The pink-haired girl, Elysia, froze for a moment and could not help asking.

What problem would blowing up Fire Moth solve?

Blanca’s disappearance couldn’t possibly have anything to do with Fire Moth, could it?

Why would they abduct a researcher from a research institute under their own organization?

Was there something wrong with their heads?

There really was something wrong with their heads.

Levi nodded.

In his opinion, there was a very high chance that Blanca’s disappearance was the work of those politicians.

As for the reason…

His gaze fell on Elysia sitting opposite him. Noticing his gaze, Elysia, who was thinking about how to solve the problem, blinked in confusion. “What?”

“Nothing.”

Levi shook his head.

The reason for all this was most likely the so-called “research data.”

Those people were not researchers. They did not know how difficult it was to break new ground, nor did they possess the patience that researchers had.

Mobius’s repeated failures had already exhausted those people’s patience.

Their move against Blanca this time was most likely meant to give Mobius a warning.

To make her produce results as quickly as possible.

Or perhaps to make her hand over the “research data” voluntarily.

Of course, before everything was investigated clearly, all of this was nothing more than Levi’s speculation.

And obviously, given how useless Fire Moth currently was, there was no way they could investigate this matter thoroughly.

Levi did not believe they could figure it out either.

As the organization gradually got on the right track, internal struggles were also beginning to take shape.

For this situation, Levi’s suggestion was:

Leave Fire Moth, start from scratch, and establish an entirely new organization to fight the Honkai.

However, without financial support from various countries and continents, this was clearly unrealistic.

And once there was financial support, there was a very good chance it would turn into another Fire Moth.

If that were the case, they might as well continue staying in Fire Moth. At the very least, humanity’s forces would not be divided, and even if they were fighting among themselves in the early stages, they could still contend with the Honkai.

That would prevent the Honkai from causing too much damage to human civilization.

“Ah! I can’t think of anything!”

Elysia irritably grabbed her hair. Finding one person in an entire city was simply like looking for a needle in a haystack.

“Levi, have you thought of any good ideas?”

Unable to think of anything herself, she raised her head and asked the omnipotent Levi.

Levi spread his hands toward her. “Sorry, my gacha pool doesn’t have any tracking abilities.”

Then what were they supposed to do?

Elysia felt somewhat anxious. Mobius had contacted her at this time, clearly believing that she could find Blanca.

“Could it be that we can only use the stupidest method?”, Elysia said quietly.

But with her level of authority, did she even have the ability to access the surveillance footage?

Even if she could access it, she would probably be punished by Fire Moth afterward.

Just as she stood up, preparing to drag Levi into the city to investigate, she suddenly noticed that Levi, sitting opposite her, was staring at her with a smile.

[Some Time Later]

“Elysia” stood up from the corner, went to the counter to pay, and then left.

“You’re sure this will work?”

As they walked away from the Fire Moth base, Elysia’s doubtful voice sounded in Levi’s ears.

That crystal flower was something he played around with every night before going to sleep. After all this time, he had never discovered any power related to tracking.

“I’m not sure.”, Levi answered honestly.

As for whether the Herrscher of Origin actually had any tracking-related abilities, Levi himself did not know either.

But as the Zero Herrscher, being able to interfere with the Honkai and make the Herrschers of later generations possess human hearts was definitely something an ordinary Herrscher could not accomplish.

The Herrscher of Origin was a Herrscher infinitely close to the Honkai.

And the full name of Honkai…

“Honkai can do anything.”

“You’ve said that line so many times.”

Her ears were practically about to grow calluses from hearing it.

Elysia silently complained. After hearing Levi give such an uncertain answer, she really wanted to open up his brain and see what exactly was going on inside.

You were so decisive when answering just now, yet you weren’t even sure.

“Forget it. I’ll trust you this once.”

In the end, Elysia gave Levi her trust.

After all, this guy had never failed a commission before.

Perhaps this time would be a success as well.

“Mm-hmm~ Thanks for trusting me.”

“…”

“Stop putting on that voice.”

Hearing her own voice being deliberately sweetened… she could not take it.

Listening to Elysia’s slightly embarrassed voice, Levi smiled and glanced at the system panel that only he could see.

[Commission: Find Blanca! (In Progress)]

Levi stretched.

First, if he wanted to find Blanca, he had to find someone connected to her.

Levi took out Elysia’s phone, unlocked it with practiced ease, opened the contacts, found a familiar name, and tapped to call.

He stood there and waited for a moment. Just as the ringing was about to end, the call was finally answered.

“Hello?”

A man’s exhausted voice came from the other end.

“Hi~ Ato, could you come over here for a moment?”, Levi spoke in a cheerful voice.

“Sorry, Elysia, I’m currently at…”

Ato thought she still did not know that Blanca had disappeared. To prevent Elysia from worrying too much, he had not told her about Blanca.

But in the next second, the fact that Blanca had disappeared came from “Elysia” on the other end.

“It’s about Blanca’s disappearance.”

The instant he heard those words, Ato thought of many, many things.

Were Blanca and Elysia working together to play a prank on him?

Was Elysia actually the one who kidnapped Blanca?

Was Elysia not one of Mobius’s people, but an undercover agent for every assassin organization within Fire Moth?

All sorts of questions turned into one sentence at this moment.

“Where are you now?”

Once they met, the answer would naturally be revealed.

“In front of the Fire Moth base.”

After learning “Elysia’s” current location, Ato immediately hung up and hurried toward the destination.

Putting away the phone, Levi looked toward the base behind him.

The Fire Moth base was built in the outskirts. There were few people around, and even if passersby happened to go by, they would only mistake it for some military base.

They would not associate it with the Fire Moth base.

Especially at a time when the name Fire Moth had not yet become widely known.

After standing there and waiting for a while, during which he thoughtfully contacted Mobius to keep her from worrying too much, he heard her voice.

“Elysia, if Blanca is injured, or…”

Mobius paused and did not say that word.

Mobius, who took life and death very lightly, showed an intense resistance when it came to the life and death of those around her.

Her voice sounded slightly cold, “I beg you, find those people…”

“Kill them.”

“…”

Dragons have reverse scales, and touching them means certain death.

If Mobius had a reverse scale too, then Blanca was undoubtedly Mobius’s reverse scale right now.

Clearly the First Research Institute, so why were only Blanca and Mobius working here?

Naturally, the vast majority of researchers refused to come work at this research institute after hearing the name Mobius.

Don’t be fooled by how harmless she appeared in front of Elysia.

That was merely an act she put on so as not to ruin the image Elysia had of her.

All kinds of experiments were conducted behind Elysia’s back.

That was what gave Elysia the illusion that the big snake was no different from an ordinary person.

Besides, even if they had no choice but to come work at the research institute, the researchers would run away within a few days.

This was the current state of Mobius’s research institute within Fire Moth.

Only Blanca had stayed by Mobius’s side from beginning to end, helping her with all kinds of seemingly inhumane experiments.

Mobius regarded Blanca as a confidante and friend, not as a researcher under her.

That was why she had shown such anger after Blanca disappeared.

Killing someone’s whole family was something Levi had inherited from his ancestors as basic social etiquette. He never expected to hear it from this green-haired outsider, Mobius, today.

Levi smiled, but he obviously knew that this wasn’t the time to joke around.

He nodded and solemnly replied, “I will.”

He hung up.

A black sedan drifted to a stop in front of Levi. The window rolled down, revealing Ato’s face. He glanced at the soldier beside the gate who was pointing a gun at him.

Ato remained expressionless and nodded toward Levi.

After he got into the car, the vehicle immediately drifted around in place before driving toward the city.

“You and Blanca left together in this car?”

Levi looked over the interior. It was filled with the feeling of everyday life.

A rabbit plushie sat beside Levi.

“No.”

Ato, sitting in the driver’s seat, answered, “I borrowed this car temporarily.”

Levi was startled after hearing this and tentatively asked, “Stole it?”

“Borrowed.”, Ato corrected him.

As long as he returned it on time, the owner of the car wouldn’t discover that someone had borrowed it.

He could then leave some cash in the car as well, which would count as Ato expressing his apology for “borrowing” the car.

“Where are we going?”

Ato asked. Levi leaned forward and looked at the map in the car, his finger gently landing on a place that clearly didn’t have many people going there.

After seeing the confirmed destination, Ato pressed down on the accelerator, and the car’s speed instantly reached its limit.

Every little slope along the road made Levi feel as though he was about to take off.

Soon, it was almost time for dinner. Mobius once again reported Blanca’s disappearance to Fire Moth.

She received the same response again.

Fire Moth was currently carrying out a global campaign to eliminate the Honkai, and its manpower was tight.

Without being out of contact for 24 hours, a person could not be defined as missing, so naturally they could not dispatch a search and rescue team.

Bang!

“As the director of the First Research Institute, one of my researchers has gone missing, and I still can’t immediately mobilize Fire Moth to conduct a search and rescue!”

Mobius roared, barely managing not to swear.

The staff member on the other end of the phone fell silent in the face of Mobius’s shouting.

People with ability could enjoy privileges in society. It was already an unspoken rule.

But yesterday, Fire Moth’s higher-ups had explicitly issued an order.

Equality.

Everything everyone applied for had to be handled according to the relevant regulations.

No preferential treatment was allowed to exist.

Even they had to set an example and follow these rules.

“Sorry, that’s the rule.”

The staff member gave this answer.

“Heh.”

Mobius sneered twice, hung up the phone, looked at the various instruments on the laboratory table, and began conducting experiments like mad.

In the city near the Fire Moth base, a sedan flew into a small alley and came to a handsome drifting stop beside a wall.

Ato got out of the car and looked at two or three brats surrounding another brat in a corner.

They were staring blankly at him.

His brows furrowed. His already anxious mood instantly became annoyed.

He shouted, “Get lost!”

“Hey, Ato, be careful not to scare them.”

Hearing this, Ato looked strangely at “Elysia,” who climbed out of the car. She smiled as she walked over to him, greeting the few brats in front of her with a smile.

At the same time, she pulled a pistol from her waist and handed it to Ato.

“Use this. It’s very reassuring.”

Looking at the pistol shoved into his hand, Ato pulled out the magazine and saw that it was still full of bullets.

The corner of Ato’s eye twitched as he looked at Elysia, who was still smiling and greeting the three brats.

“This violates the rules, doesn’t it?”

If she were discovered, Elysia would be punished.

“You don’t tell, I don’t tell. Who would know?”

Levi blinked.

“Or are you going to betray me?” A troubled look appeared on his face. “Then I’ll have to have a good ‘talk’ with my good sister Blanca.”

“No, no, no, I won’t.”

Ato raised both hands, indicating that he absolutely wouldn’t tell anyone.

According to the handbook Levi had given him, when pursuing a girl, the people he especially needed to pay attention to were the close girlfriends around her.

They could provide tremendous help during the pursuit.

Likewise, they could also cause tremendous obstacles.

He didn’t want this little matter to cause things between him and Blanca to fall through, or make things more difficult.

Once his medical leave was over, he wouldn’t have as much free time as he did now.

If the difficulty increased even more… he couldn’t take it.

After swearing that if he told anyone, his future son would be born without an asshole, Ato looked at the few brats still standing there dumbfounded.

Click…

The crisp sound of a pistol being loaded echoed around them.

Realizing this wasn’t a joke, the few of them quickly ran toward the other end of the alley.

The person who had been surrounded glanced at Levi, who was waving at them, bowed, turned around, and ran away.

“I did another good deed~ I’m so happy~”

Ato’s mood also eased a little, but he was still far from happy. After all, there was still no news about the missing Blanca.

His gaze turned toward “Elysia.”

“We’ve arrived at the place you mentioned. You should tell me about Blanca’s disappearance now, right?”

“Of course, of course.”

Levi nodded. Then, after Ato thought for a moment, he opened his mouth.

“Was it you who kidnapped Blanca?”

“…I wish.”

Kidnapping his mother-in-law. Just thinking about it was exciting.

“Are you an informant from outside who’s infiltrated Fire Moth?”

“?”

A question mark appeared on Levi’s forehead. “Wait.”

“You…”

“I told you to wait!”

He forcefully interrupted Ato’s outrageous questions and said speechlessly, “I’m here to help you find Blanca.”

Judging from what he had said earlier…

Was he suspecting himself? No, was he suspecting Elysia of kidnapping Blanca?

‘?’

‘Me kidnapping Blanca?’

After hearing Levi’s analysis, Elysia was dumbfounded.

As Blanca’s close friend, what reason would she have to kidnap her?

Levi stroked his chin and thought to himself, “Maybe he wants her body.”
