Honkai Impact, please stop imagining it.

The door is closed.

himeko sat alone in his office, his expression calm.

The casual sitting posture gradually changed to crossing one's legs and half-lying on the chair.

Her captivating aura gradually spread, and only at this moment did people feel that she was a true high-ranking leader of the Fire Moth, one of the top warriors of the Fire Moth, rather than the lazy older sister next to Lin Yu.

himeko lit a cigarette and scrolled through Mei's information.

Her access to the Firemoth Research Department was sufficient for her to view most of the materials; only a few thousand words of research on Honkai Beasts and the human body were beyond her reach.

"Lin Yu entered Qianyu Academy in January, and Mei was also promoted to Qianyu Academy in that month."

"In the same month, Mei got in touch with Mebius, and then Mei started to have some interaction with Lin Yu, but the interaction was not obvious and they didn't chat much. However, after Lin Yu's sixteenth birthday, Mei started to stick to Lin Yu."

himeko tapped the table slowly and rhythmically; it was her habit, and it helped her think.

"Until the Honkai outbreak, Mei was picked up by a helicopter dispatched by Mebius on the day the Honkai broke out. Also picked up were their classmate, an ordinary sports student named Kevin."

"That ordinary sports student broke Alicia's record in the Fire Moth in a month and became the strongest warrior in the Fire Moth. Then... he would go to see Mei three or four times a week."

himeko took a drag of his cigarette, spun his chair around, and squinted slightly.

"According to the data, when Mei joined the Fire Moth on the first day of the Honkai outbreak, she strongly demanded that the Fire Moth find Lin Yu. However, her cold personality and indifference to human life do not seem like the kind of person who would repeatedly demand and order the Fire Moth to find Lin Yu for the sake of Lin Yu."

“Mebius also supported Mei’s order to find Lin Yu. That madman has been thinking about advancing humanity ever since he performed that surgery on Lin Yu with his teacher.”

"After Mei joined, the Fire Moths opened up research on human experimentation, which had been banned for six years, but was restarted directly after Mei joined the Fire Moths."

himeko muttered to himself, but his eyes grew increasingly dangerous.

All the information has been gathered!

So! Mei learned about the Chimera Project, which had been sealed for six years, because of Mebius. Then she cooperated with Mebius and learned from him that Lin Yu was the first and only person to undergo surgery six years ago.

That's why Mei suddenly came into contact with Lin Yu, but because she wasn't sure if Lin Yu's surgery was successful, their contact wasn't deep.

But after Lin Yu's birthday, Mei confirmed that Lin Yu's surgery was successful, and the Chimera Project had saved Lin Yu's life!

That's why Mei chose to stick to Lin Yu. With her cold personality and indifference to human life, how could she suddenly like someone like that, unless she had an ulterior motive?

Finding a purpose was simple: Mei was also interested in the Chimera Project, so Lin Yu, the only successful case, was extremely important to her.

After the Honkai outbreak, Mei directly joined the Fire Moth and then used her talent to force the Fire Moth to start the six-year-old Chimera Project of human experimentation. Together with Mebius, they used all the power they could to find Lin Yu.

They stopped pretending and started conducting human experiments right after Mei joined, doing so more than ten times in a month.

Kevin, perhaps due to his adaptability to Honkai energy, was very powerful and was subsequently recruited by Mei. With a researcher now having a powerful backer, Mei quickly gained a position within the Fire Moth.

Mei's reason for seeking Lin Yu is now simple and clear.

The sparse, rhythmic tapping in the office stopped. Himeko rubbed her fingers, a wise glint in her eyes. "I don't want to capture Lin Yu and use him as a guinea pig to study him and find out the feasibility of mass production of the Chimera Project. Lin Yu is the anchor point of the Chimera Project. With the anchor point, the rest of the replication is simple. Without the anchor point, trying to replicate it based solely on research data from a few years ago is simply wishful thinking!"

himeko quickly swiped the screen and used his privileges to silence the group of soldiers who encountered Lin Yu around Changkong City, transferring them all to Australia. Then, he decisively called Möbius.

Mebius, far away on the continent of Mu, wore a strange expression. He put down the file, looked at the name on his phone, and double-checked. Yes, it was himeko.

Hemeko and I have no connection whatsoever, so why would she call me?

"Hello, this is Möbius."

"I am himeko."

The voice was calm, just like a routine work conversation, which made Mebius relax a little. Himeko hadn't been in the research department for many years, so it wasn't a big deal for her to call him.

"Is something wrong? I have another surgery to perform."

"When did Ms. Mebius become interested in medicine? I wonder which patient will be able to invite Ms. Mebius to perform surgery on him?"

himeko spoke casually, somewhat lazily, but her expression was quite the opposite—serious and indifferent. Forcibly stopping herself from tapping the table, heeko said this.

"I can't go into details about the human experiments, and we don't need to exchange pleasantries; we're all very busy."

Mebius didn't understand what "himeko" meant, so why did he suddenly call and say this?

himeko: "About that Mei, you invited her, right? I used to study physics too. I heard that a physics genius came to the headquarters of the Firemoth. Haha, I did a little research and heard that she's been looking for a guy recently? Is she just love-struck?"

Mebius's lips twitched. "Is Ms. Himeko so free?"

You called me just to gossip? Asking about Mei's gossip? Are you that free, being the commander? I'm working myself to the bone at Moth of Fire headquarters, and you have time to ask this kind of question?

"I'm slightly interested, you know I went to Changkong City and Canghai City last month to clear out Honkai Beasts and zombies. If she's just love-struck, I'd advise her that there's no need to keep looking. She can just find someone else. Two-legged men are hard to find, but three-legged men are easy to find."

Mebius sighed. "If only it were that simple. All I can say is that the boy is very important. The human experiments we are conducting now are related to that boy, and very closely. I can't say anything more, Ms. Himeko, your authority is not at that level."

himeko clenched his fist under the table. Just as he thought!

"So that's why you invited Mei to join the Fire Moth? The Fire Moth has suddenly opened up human experimentation, so they probably won't use our soldiers, right?"

Mebius had initially thought Himeko was asking about the Chimera Project, but he breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the second half of Himeko's sentence.

What? So you're worried that your soldiers might be captured by the research department and used as guinea pigs?

"The reasons are similar, but I invited her, and she also wanted to join because of that boy. We were mutually attracted, and it was a perfect match."

"As for your soldiers, don't worry. I won't use anyone else until all the death row inmates are dead."

himeko: "Are all the death row inmates dead?"

Möbius shrugged. "Then let's redefine the standards for the death penalty for death row inmates."

himeko hung up the phone, and Mebius raised an eyebrow as he listened to the busy tone on the line.

After getting the answer she wanted, Himeko just hung up the phone? That's a bit too decisive of her. They were exchanging pleasantries at first, but this sudden break makes it seem like all the initial small talk was fake.

Never mind, that's not important. Go wash your hands, change your gloves, and go into the operating room to continue your research. Mei is getting impatient.

Sigh, I hope we find Lin Yu soon, so we can monitor his physical condition in real time and find the key to saving him.

.......

himeko stubbed out his cigarette and closed the Mei message on his computer.

Lin Yu wants me to help him find a girl? What a joke! If I actually find one and let you meet her, you'll be locked in a dark room the next day.

What's the difference between this and when you touched that altar thirteen years ago and immediately handed over the Fire-Chasing Moth?

So that's how it is. So that's the meaning behind what my teacher told me: "A gun is a father." So that's why my teacher wanted me to join the Fire Moth and have a force to be reckoned with, so that I would be qualified to protect Lin Yu.

Otherwise, if Lin Yu were discovered by the Fire Moth, the only outcome would be that he would be locked up by the evolution-obsessed Mebius and the scheming, cunning, and cold-hearted Mei, and used as a precious guinea pig for research!

Chapter 39 Okay, it's a deal then.

In that instant, Himeko understood the meaning of her life. It turned out that her teacher had already arranged her and Lin Yu's lives before he passed away.

I'm so smart. I followed the steps without even realizing the teacher's intentions, and I still managed to get on the right track step by step.

Mei and Mebius! Your ambitions will be annihilated by our Sino-Australian iron cavalry!

........

"So, don't you get bored practicing boxing every day?"

At the recruit training ground, Lin Yu leaned on the fence, watching the only recruit who was still training during his rest time.

Hua: "I want to join Himeko's team to clear out Honkai Beasts and zombies, and save others just like you and Himeko saved me."

"So, having a goal is what keeps you from getting bored?"

Lin Yu rested his chin on his hand and sipped his milk tea. On the table next to him were some things he had bought for Hua. This was the fifteenth time Lin Yu had appeared here in the past month.

Hua wouldn't say she's gotten used to it, but she's not too surprised either.

"So don't you get bored watching us train here every time?"

After finishing her training session, Hua went up the stairs to the second floor, wiped her sweat, sat down opposite Lin Yu, and took a sip of her milk tea.

"I'm not here to watch your training, but to watch you train. Well, I guess I brought you here after all. I know Himeko, so I want to see what you'll become."

Lin Yu said tactfully, with a smile on his face.

"Did you see the results you wanted?"

Hua became curious.

"As it turns out, yes, your efforts really impressed me. I didn't think anyone would train so seriously and at such a high intensity."

To be honest, Lin Yu initially thought Hua was a genius. He seemed to have a solid foundation and was practicing very quickly. But later, Lin Yu discovered that Hua had indeed built a foundation before.

Hua not only practices boxing, but also occasionally swordsmanship. He has made steady progress step by step. At first, he was so clumsy that he could barely throw the sword, but now he can wield the sword and create some fancy swordplay.

Hua sipped her milk tea and looked at Lin Yu. She wanted to say that she would save others as he saved her, but she felt that such a statement was ambiguous, giving her the illusion that she wanted to date him. That's why Hua deliberately added the name Himeko.

Hua started practicing swordsmanship because Lin Yu's sword aura shocked her and made her unconsciously think of the dashing swordsman.

"Um, may I know how long you practiced your sword energy before you were able to unleash it?"

Hua scratched his face a little embarrassedly and lowered his head.

"To reach that level, it's not something that can be achieved just by working hard; it also requires unparalleled talent and strong self-confidence."

Hua: "I can try my best to do it."

Lin Yu: "The most crucial thing is that you have to have had surgery."

Lin Yu sighed, as if he didn't want to discuss the surgery. His expression, as if the past was gone like dust in the wind, made him look like a wanderer with countless past experiences.

Hua blinked, bewildered. "What surgery?"

Lin Yu shook his head. "You'll find out later. When humanity can no longer withstand the strain and the success rate of the surgery increases, that kind of surgery will become available, and you'll have a great chance."

After hearing Lin Yu's explanation, Hua wanted to ask more questions, but she couldn't bring herself to say them because of her slight social anxiety.

The warm milk tea in her hand caught Hua's eye, causing her to unconsciously lower her head.

The recruit training ground between China and Australia is not large, probably because the soldiers train in the open air. Those who can enter the training ground are the elite selected from the soldiers, except for Hua.

Anyone who passes the training and assessment here can join the Australian Fifth Detachment, a force of two thousand men. Only the strongest recruits get in, except for Hua. The veterans and the weak in the Fifth Detachment die on the battlefield; it's extremely cruel.

But war itself is cruel, except for the Hua.

Above the Fifth Detachment are the elite soldiers, the Fifth Squad, which consists of only a few dozen people. Himeko is the commander of the Chinese and Australian soldiers, the leader of the Fifth Detachment, and the captain of the Fifth Squad.

Hua wanted to join the fifth squad because it was there that she could see Lin Yu every day, instead of having to wait for him to be free and for him to think of her and reach out to her.

So the recruit training ground is quite nice. In addition to sports equipment, there are many tempting things, such as milk tea, soft drinks, game room, and snack lounge.
