I am Möbius's sister.

Five minutes later...

【Ding--】

[Copy successful, physical storage device created, please acknowledge receipt]

As soon as the system finished speaking, a strangely shaped crystal appeared in Sirin's hand, with some circuit patterns engraved on it.

"How do you use this thing?" Sirin frowned as she looked at the crystal in her hand, completely bewildered.

This is a special storage device. You only need to give it to Möbius to use it. Möbius knows how to use it. If you want to know, I can explain it to you now, but that would take a lot of time, and you might not understand it. I don't recommend doing that.

"Oh, I see." Nodding, Sirin carefully put away the crystal chip. This was very important information. She would find an opportunity to send it to Mebius later. For now, she would let her see what kind of cult organization had up its sleeve.

Operating the supercomputer, relying on the query system and the supercomputer's own intelligent programs, Xilin searched for a long time before finally finding the confidential document she wanted in the database.

With her highest level of access, Sirin encountered no obstacles when she opened the confidential file and entered smoothly. In the face of Sirin's highest level of access, the database was like a naked girl, completely defenseless.

As Celine suspected, the confidential document recorded the cult's operations around the world.

West Asia Branch... attempting to create a Honkai Beast superior to the Judgment-class Honkai Beast...

The Eastern European branch... is attempting to mass-produce human evolutionary beings with divine powers—pseudo-Herrschers—and deploy them globally...

East Asia Branch... Modifying humans to accommodate... Honkai Beast organs...

The South Asian branch... is attempting to combine sacrificial rituals with human technology to grant people divine power... without being controlled by the gods...

The Western European branch... created the strongest messenger of the gods in history by instigating a cataclysmic disaster capable of instantly destroying a country in its wake...

North American headquarters... creates divine messengers through sacrificial rituals...

North Africa branch... researching whether humans and Honkai Beasts can produce offspring...

Besides these shocking plans, there were other extremely vicious plans. Every word of those plans, when they fell into Sirin's eyes, was enough to make her imagine an unspeakable and heinous crime.

……

After looking at them for a long time, Xilin finally looked away. The outlines of these plans were not very long, but Xilin clicked on the details of each plan one by one to read them.

These plans are incredibly detailed, specifying exactly how each step should be done. Everything is arranged perfectly and comprehensively. It's safe to say that this has been planned for a long time, and most importantly, the progress indicated by these plans suggests that most of the project is nearing completion.

With these plans, Sirin had already imagined how terrifying the scene would be after the fourth Honkai outbreak, with Honkai constantly occurring all over the world, numerous pseudo-Herrschers appearing, and even Herrschers that would bring Honkai disasters that destroyed a country as soon as they appeared.

It's important to know that when the Fourth Herrscher first appeared, it only affected a few surrounding cities. It was only later, as the Honkai progressed, that the scope of its influence expanded.

The appearance of this new Herrscher destroyed a country. The larger the base number, the greater the increase. The Honkai brought about by this Herrscher may cover most of the earth!

What the hell is this?! The Third Honkai Impact only affected most of Asia, and this is affecting half the globe?

Sirin was originally waiting for the Honkai consciousness to send the Calabash Brothers to save their grandfather one by one, but instead, it started by throwing out a royal flush. Based on the details of these plans, nearly half of them were generated through divine pronouncements, meaning this is a conspiracy by the Honkai will.

Many of these plans, generated through divine pronouncements, are related to Herrschers. For example, the plan to create the strongest Herrscher in history by causing a catastrophe that destroys a country was generated through a divine pronouncement.

After reviewing these plans, Sirin immediately had the system copy them all and send the storage device containing them to Alicia via the chat group. This function of transmitting physical objects was built into the chat room, but unfortunately it could not transmit large or high-energy objects.

The first person to discover this feature was Eden. She sent everyone a gorgeous piece of jewelry that was clearly expensive, each piece personally selected by Eden. Even Mei, who wasn't interested in jewelry, loved the pieces Eden sent.

After handing all these plans over to Alicia, Sirin suddenly realized that she could send the technical data to May, and then May could pass it on to Möbius, thus saving her a trip.

After the idea popped into her head, Xilin prepared to do it, but just as she was about to send the storage device containing the technical data to Mei, the system suddenly spoke up to stop her.

[For the sake of maximizing your benefits, I don't recommend you do this, as it might prevent you from receiving the reward. Therefore, my suggestion is that you personally deliver the storage device to Möbius.]

"Can't someone else deliver it to Mebius instead?" Sirin asked, somewhat troubled.

Sorry, that's not possible.

"Phew—alright then, I'll find some time tonight to open a portal and personally deliver this to my sister." Seeing that her shortcut wouldn't work, Sirin sighed helplessly. What a pity!

After taking one last look at the screen, Xilin deleted all her browsing history, then turned off the light screen and left.

……

After leaving the location of the database, Sirin went to Ekaterina's room.

At this moment, Catherine was sitting on the bed, her head resting against the bed frame, with a small table in front of her. On the table was a thick book, which she was reading intently.

Sensing someone enter, Ekaterina looked up from her book and followed the sound. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was Sirin. Although she was now the leader of this cult, she was still very uneasy; Sirin was the only person she could somewhat trust and rely on here.

"Sister Sirin, you're here." Ekaterina put down her book and smiled at Sirin.

"Yes, I'm here. Ekaterina, how are you feeling?" Sirin asked Ekaterina with concern as she walked to her side.

"It's much better, but sometimes my lower abdomen still hurts," Ekaterina replied.

“I see…” Sirin pondered for a moment, “Do you need me to treat you? I’ve thought of a way that might be able to suppress it.”

"Hmm?" Ekaterina tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then nodded. If Sirin really had a solution, then she might as well give it a try; this intermittent pain was just too torturous. She had wanted to take a nap, but she was woken up in the middle of the night by the pain.

After seeing Ekaterina nod, Sirin said to her, "In that case, I will treat you. First, you need to remove this table and then lie down and expose your lower abdomen."

Chapter 129 I really can't do anything with you~

Unbeknownst to her, Ekaterina's affection for Sirin grew rapidly. This was undoubtedly largely due to Sirin's gentle attitude, but the main reason was Ekaterina's own character.

The mere fact that Sirin had rescued Catherine from that boundless suffering was enough to make Catherine feel immense affection for her. When her own sister died at her hands, Catherine's heart had become numb, devoid of joy or sorrow, filled only with resentment, anger, and grief.

The appearance of Sirin, with her gentle actions, allowed Ekaterina to rediscover warmth. Her pent-up emotions, coupled with gratitude towards Sirin, caused Ekaterina's affection for Sirin to reach an astonishing level in such a short time.

Ekaterina didn't know what kind of feeling this was; she only knew that she wanted to repay Sirin, no matter the cost.

After comforting Ekaterina for a while and checking her over thoroughly, Sirin left the room.

Looking at the closed door, Ekaterina suddenly felt a pang of loneliness. She wanted Sirin to stay with her a little longer… even just for a moment…

However, she understood that Celine had many things to do, so she suppressed the urge. She took a deep breath, cleared her mind, and prepared to go to sleep.

Ekaterina slept soundly and peacefully; she hadn't had such a restful sleep in a long time.

She had a dream in which her sister was still alive, and she and Celine became best friends. It was the happiest and most beautiful dream she had ever had.

……

Night fell quickly. In this remote place, there was no pollution from industry. It was a place with a pristine ecosystem. The Honkai energy utilization technology of this era was outstanding, and the demand for land was not great. For them, land was not a source of wealth.

This is why the area boasts such a pristine ecosystem. Even now, as this region is engulfed in war, the bright night sky remains unobstructed, and one can still see the twinkling stars high in the sky if they look up.

If the night here is peaceful, then lying on the grass and gazing at the stars at this moment would be a pleasant and comfortable choice.

Unfortunately, the night was far from peaceful.

On the cloud, Sirin and Ekaterina stood on a platform formed by solidified space, quietly watching the commotion below. Directly below them were cultists preparing to launch a surprise attack in the northeast direction. There were 40,000 of them, all well-equipped. This was 80% of the headquarters' forces. Of the remaining 20%, half stayed at the base, while the other half was preparing to launch a feint attack in another direction.

The plan was excellent, and the preparations were thorough. If it weren't for Sirin's presence, these guys might have actually succeeded. After all, the Allied forces' garrison in the northeast was indeed weak, and the Fire Moth's base wasn't there either.

The soldiers and generals who came here also underestimated their opponents, especially during the day. After seeing the scene of the cult being bombarded and forced to flee in panic, they became even more dismissive.

However, thanks to the high-level spy Sirin, the cult's entire plan was laid out on the Allied Forces' decision-making table, down to the specific attack route and the exact time of the attack.

Therefore, the cult is destined to lose tonight's battle.

"Achoo—" Yekaterina sneezed, hugging her thin body with both arms.

"Are you alright? Should we go back and rest?" Sirin looked at Ekaterina beside her and asked with concern. Her eyes held a hint of helplessness. She didn't know why this stubborn girl insisted on coming with her. If she wasn't feeling well, she shouldn't have pushed herself so hard. Really.

Sensing the helplessness in Sirin's eyes, Ekaterina shook her head and said, "I'm fine, I don't need to go back to rest. My body isn't that bad." As she spoke, Ekaterina gave Sirin a somewhat forced smile.

"Sigh, I just can't do anything with you." With a sigh, Celine continued, "Since that's how it is, I won't bother with you anymore. If you feel unwell anywhere, you must tell me."

"Mmm." Ekaterina nodded, feeling a warm glow inside, as if the coldness in her body was being dispelled.

Looking at the girl beside her who was clearly overjoyed, Sirin was a little confused. She didn't know why Ekaterina was so happy. This was probably what they meant by a woman's heart being unfathomable.

However, Ekaterina's happy expression is quite adorable. Indeed, just as Alicia said, beautiful girls should be happy, and wonderful things will follow.

However, the unformed Herrscher core within Ekaterina's body remains a significant problem. A single misstep could potentially lead to the birth of a Herrscher and the onset of a major collapse.

Without eliminating this thing, Catherine will never be able to live a normal, peaceful life. But dealing with this thing alone is not easy for Sirin, so she needs the help of someone else. Sirin has already thought of that person: there is only one person in the world who might be able to do it, and that person is Möbius.

As for whether bringing a young girl back would result in Mebius hanging her up as punishment, Sirin believed that as long as her reason was perfect enough, she could avoid that situation. Of course, Mebius's displeasure was unavoidable, and Sirin had already thought of how to deal with it: she would simply give the information to Mebius to calm him down.

It's killing two birds with one stone, a worthwhile deal. If that doesn't work, she'll just have to sacrifice her looks later. Anyway, Catherine has to be saved, partly because of the promise she made to Catherine, and partly because Catherine's plight evoked pity and a certain degree of empathy in Sirin.

After thinking for a moment, Sirin said to Ekaterina, "After this incident is over, I'll take you for your final treatment. If it's successful, you should be able to return to a normal life."

"Eh...Eh! Is this really...really?" Ekaterina's eyes widened, somewhat incredulous.

“It’s true.” After glancing at the astonished Ekaterina, Sirin nodded in affirmation.

Suddenly, Ekaterina felt a sense of unreality; this was the closest she had ever come to fulfilling her wish. Once upon a time, returning to a normal life was her greatest desire; she loathed the life-or-death struggles she was forced to endure for survival. Now, with her wish about to be granted, she felt a pang of emptiness and bewilderment.

If she returns to a normal life, will she never see Xilin again? Will she not even have the chance to repay Xilin? And after being alone and isolated from the world for so long, can she really adapt to a normal life?

Ekaterina was lost in thought, remaining silent, while Sirin beside her was telling her about an imagined future, trying to pique Ekaterina's interest.

"Returning to a normal life, you will no longer suffer from cold and hunger, nor will anyone constantly threaten your life. You will no longer have to hurt others to survive. You can do what you want, you will make many new friends, and you will..." Sirin spoke eloquently, her vision for Ekaterina's future undoubtedly wonderful.

However, Ekaterina was not thinking about this at the moment. After pursing her lips and thinking for a long time, she interrupted Sirin: "If we return to normal life, will I still be able to see you, Sirin?"

When her words were interrupted, Xilin paused for a moment, then said after a moment of contemplation, "It's highly likely that we won't see each other again, and they will probably erase your memories. At that time, you will forget these bad memories and return to a peaceful life."

Hearing this, Ekaterina's heart sank. She bit her lower lip, as if she had made a decision, and looked up at Sirin, saying, "I... don't want to forget all of this, I... don't want to go back to a peaceful life." As she uttered these last words, Ekaterina seemed to have exhausted all her strength.

"What did you say?" Sirin was shocked and confused by Ekaterina's words.

“I said, I don’t want to go back to a peaceful life,” Ekaterina repeated.

After she finished speaking, Xilin didn't continue, and the atmosphere suddenly became somber.

"Do you know what you're saying?" After a long while, Sirin said helplessly.

"I know."

Looking at Ekaterina's resolute expression, Sirin didn't know what to say for a moment, and all her persuasion ultimately amounted to a sigh.

"Sigh... I hope you won't regret it."

Chapter 130 Sirin the Conman

"I... won't regret it." After making her decision, Ekaterina's eyes became even more determined.

Seeing Catherine like this, Sirin decided to try to persuade her again. She asked, "Do you know what you've given up? You could have been relatively safe in the rear, under protection, living a peaceful life. But your choice now is to face death that's just around the corner. You're special, Catherine. If you still insist on this choice, your chances of dying will be much higher than the average person. Aren't you... afraid?"

“I’m afraid,” Ekaterina replied immediately. “But… Sister Sirin, I can’t go back anymore. I can’t adapt to life outside at all, and I have nothing left. Besides…” Ekaterina suddenly stopped, lowered her head without saying another word.
