There is another calamity she has yet to find.

Overall, things have progressed smoothly, and at least we haven't encountered any major problems.

……

It was a sunny day, and Celine was wearing her little dress, eating ice cream and singing when suddenly her eyes were covered.

"Cirin-chan~ Guess who I am~" A playful voice came from Sirin's ear, along with a fragrant breeze.

"Sister Alicia, stop playing around, I knew it was you all along." Sirin placed her hand on the hands covering her eyes, her tone somewhat helpless.

Alicia is always like this, lively and cute, but never annoying.

"Oh dear, really, if you see through something, don't say it out loud~, it's so boring~" Alicia said as she let go of her hand. Although she complained, her tone was playful and teasing.

"Alright then, I'll pretend to be confused next time." Sirin looked at the smiling Alicia in front of her, feeling somewhat helpless.

"It's settled then, no backing out, okay, Sirin?" Alicia's smile grew even brighter. She was already a beautiful person, and now her smile made her look even more vibrant and charming.

"Don't worry, I won't go back on my word. By the way, what brings you here? Are you perhaps free today?"

"What~ Can't I come to see you just because I'm not free? I came to see you because I missed you~ Sirin-chan, don't you miss me? I'm so sad~" Alicia put on a very sad look, but Sirin could clearly see that there was not a trace of moisture in her eyes, and there was even a faint smile on her lips.

Although she knew that Alicia was deliberately putting on an act and intentionally letting her see through it, Sirin had to admit that for a moment, she did feel a bit aroused. This woman was really good at it, damnably sweet.

If she weren't afraid of angering Mebius, she would have liked to flirt back. However, she could only dream about it. She knew without even thinking that if she flirted back with Alicia, Alicia might bring it up in front of Mebius someday.

If this were to actually happen, Sirin couldn't believe how much water she would lose.

"Don't tease me, Alicia. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. I still need to practice my powers."

"Hey, don't rush off. I did come to tell you something. First, we've found the suspected site of the Fourth Honkai Impact 3rd. The Honkai energy level there is very high right now, and the council wants you to go there. Also, there's a banquet tonight to celebrate the major breakthrough in the Fusion Warrior project. Do you want to go?" Alicia smiled slightly.

“The fourth Honkai…” Sirin was silent for a moment. When you know that a storm is coming and the date of the storm is approaching, you will always feel a little nervous.

"Yes, I'll attend the banquet tonight." Xilin nodded. She'd treat the banquet as a way to relax, but holding a banquet at a time like this was really something else.

Chapter 168

The night was peaceful, but the feast hosted by the Fire-Chasing Moths was lively.

Tonight, all the important figures are in attendance at this banquet. Apart from a few who are on leave, almost all the members of the Firemoth Council are here. However, not many researchers and scientists are here. Researchers who are passionate about their work naturally wouldn't waste their time at such a banquet.

Of course, there is another special reason: Mebius, as the leader of the Fusion Warriors project, will attend this banquet. As the protagonist of the most widely circulated horror stories in the Fire Moth, many people avoid her like the plague.

If anything strange happens in the Firemoth, it must be Dr. Mebius's doing! This saying has been circulating among the Firemoth for a long time.

Of course, Mebius didn't care about this.

As the congratulatory remarks concluded, the banquet began, and time slowly passed amidst the clinking of glasses and laughter. Many people were taking advantage of this opportunity to build relationships and expand their networks, with Celine being their primary target.

As for Mebius, few people dared to try to build a relationship with her, but given her status, it was natural that the person they tried to build a relationship with became Sirin, who seemed easier to communicate with.

Almost every short period of time, some people would approach Celine for various reasons. They were almost all members of parliament. Celine originally wanted to eat the banquet food alone in a corner, but these people always managed to find her. If she hadn't been good-tempered, these people would probably all be dead.

What's even worse is that because of these people, some young ladies who originally wanted to chat with her no longer dared to approach her, which made Xilin very dissatisfied.

Out of politeness, she didn't directly express her feelings, but rather stated her attitude very tactfully. However, perhaps she was too tactful, because these people still eagerly came up to her despite her coldness.

Just as Sirin was getting impatient, Alicia 'coincidentally' walked over, dressed in a gown and carrying a plate of small cakes, her smile as radiant as ever.

"Oh my gosh~ Isn't this our Sirin-chan? You've gotten even cuter in just a few hours~?" Alicia came to Sirin's side, her voice drawing the attention of everyone around.

Before Sirin could react, Alicia grabbed her hand and left: "Come on, Sirin, let's go for a walk~" As soon as she finished speaking, Alicia had already led Sirin away from the place.

When those who had been harassing Sirin came to their senses, they found that Sirin was nowhere to be seen, and could only lament their loss.

"Hey, Alicia, where are you taking me?" Sirin looked puzzled as she watched Alicia, who was pulling her hand and making a wobbly gait.

“Of course I’ll take you to a quieter place,” Alicia turned her head and smiled gently at Sirin.

"A quiet place?"

"Hmm, a quiet place, oh, we're here." After saying that, Alicia stopped, while Sirin looked ahead curiously, only to see a familiar figure appear before her.

"Sister...Sister?"

At this moment, Mebius was enjoying some food at the banquet with a look of pure bliss on her face, but when she keenly heard Sirin's voice, her expression quickly returned to normal.

"Is this the quiet place you were talking about?" Seeing that her older sister had noticed her, Sirin lowered her voice and looked at Alicia beside her.

“Yeah~ Don’t you think the density of the crowd around Mebius has suddenly decreased a lot? Even the noise has decreased a lot.” Alicia said, looking at Mebius in front of her.

After hearing what Alicia said, Sirin also sensed it for a moment and was surprised to find that what Alicia said was actually true. Sirin couldn't help but have a new understanding of her sister's bad reputation in the Fire Moth.

"What do you want from me?" Mebius's voice interrupted their conversation.

"It's nothing, I just felt it was a bit noisy over there, and it's quieter here with you, so I wanted to stay by your side." Xilin smiled a little shyly.

"Quiet..." Mebius murmured the word, a smile playing on her lips. When did this little one become so emotionally intelligent? Well, actually, it didn't really matter if she didn't use such a sophisticated term; she didn't care about it anyway.

Seeing the smile that suddenly appeared on Möbius's face, Sirin's heart skipped a beat. She thought that Möbius was angry because of what she had said. If Möbius was angry, tonight would probably be another sleepless night. What should she do?

After thinking for a moment, Xilin finally decided to try to salvage the situation with her words.

"Sister, you don't need to worry about this kind of thing too much. You're so beautiful, you'll definitely have a lot of people who like you in the future."

“Yes, yes, Sirin is right~ If you wear that pink dress I gave you, Dr. Mebius, lots of people will like you.” Alicia said, her smile never fading. She naturally knew that Sirin had misunderstood something, but she wasn’t in a hurry.

Upon hearing Sirin's words, Mebius was slightly taken aback. Just as she was about to explain, her face darkened instantly upon hearing Alicia's words.

"Okay, I knew it was you who put that pink dress in my closet. It was you, Alicia."

"Hehe~"

"Don't think you can get away with being cute! I've already brought the dress; you can pick it up later."

"No~ Pink clothes are so cute, I really want to see you wear one~"

"Don't even think about it!"

Celine, watching the two bickering, fell into thought, while Möbius, dressed in pink...

Sirin briefly imagined her image in her mind, and the more she looked at it, the stranger it seemed. Although wearing pink clothes wouldn't enhance Mebius's appearance or temperament, it would definitely make the headlines on the Firemoth's internal network.

On the Eve of Chapter 169

After arriving next to Mebius, Sirin finally felt a rare moment of peace. She sat between Mebius and Alicia, enjoying being fed by the two of them.

Although Alicia would occasionally tease and flirt with Mebius, making Mebius a little unhappy, the overall atmosphere was still relatively harmonious.

I wish these wonderful days could last forever... well, I know that's impossible, but I'll just enjoy each day as it comes.

Soon, Sirin was fed by Alicia and Mebius, but the two continued to stuff food into her mouth, seemingly competing with each other. Alicia even seemed to be enjoying it, which made Sirin quite helpless.

Although she can convert the food she swallows into pure energy using Honkai energy or power, why keep feeding her desserts?! Even if she loves desserts, she'll get tired of eating so many in a short time!

Left with no other choice, Sirin had to stop the two.

"Stop feeding me! My tummy is already full!" Sirin crossed her arms, striking what she thought was a dignified pose.

Although Celine didn't seem authoritative at all, the two of them were obedient to her and stopped feeding the animals.

After the two stopped feeding her, Sirin breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, the two of them never fed Celine again, and time passed by.

After the banquet ended and the guests left, Celine took Mebius away from the banquet. This time, Mebius did not drink, but Celine drank some, making her little face flushed.

But alcohol had no effect on Celine at the moment, so she didn't get drunk.

As she gazed at the night sky and felt the wind blowing, past experiences surfaced in Celine's mind. Who would have thought that just a few months ago she was a frail young girl?

The countdown to the Fourth Honkai Impact slowly appeared before her eyes. Even without the system's countdown, thanks to the Herrscher's instinctive sensitivity to Honkai energy, she could roughly sense when the Fourth Honkai Impact would arrive.

Although the Honkai Will cannot interfere too much with the world, who knows what tricks they might have up their sleeve?

Time is running out...

……

Fate is always unpredictable.

Celine never imagined that she would face such a dangerous crisis.

Seele has left and been sent back to her own world, but the Stigmata technology she possesses was reverse-engineered by the team led by May and Mebius. At the same time, the technology of the Fusion Warrior was also successfully developed.

This is indeed a good thing, but it also gave the Honkai Will an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. The intensity of the fourth Honkai has changed, and the system's countdown has been recalculated, which is much later than before.

But that's what makes Sirin uneasy. The global Honkai energy level is rising rapidly, and the longer it drags on, the stronger this Honkai will be.

Logically speaking, Honkai energy should spontaneously gather and erupt, but there is a limit to it. However, in Sirin's perception, the situation is different. Honkai energy on a global scale shows no tendency to gather, and even the generation of Honkai Beasts has decreased significantly.

Clearly, the Honkai Will has interfered with this process. Sirin had her own guesses about what it wanted to do; she estimated that it might be trying to create an unprecedentedly powerful Herrscher, or rather, multiple Herrschers.

Can humanity really survive this? Sirin didn't know, but she knew she had to do something. For example, she could frantically complete tasks to increase her chances of winning the lottery and collect items from various treasure chests. That was all she could do; the rest was up to humanity itself.

Chapter 170 Acceleration!

"You're Gretchen, right?"

"Um, I'm Gretchen. What can I do for you?" Little Gretchen looked at the suspicious woman in front of her, who was wearing sunglasses and a big hat and had her mouth and nose covered by a thick scarf. She was thinking. She was walking home when this suspiciously dressed person suddenly jumped out and blocked her way.

Although her intuition told her the other person wasn't a bad person, their attire was undeniably suspicious, making them look like a strange auntie who might be abducting children. However, their build and voice suggested they were a young person, even though their voice had been deliberately made to sound much more mature.

If Mebius had been there, he would have recognized her as Sirin.

"Um... little Gretchen, I want to give you something... you must accept it carefully." Sirin, dressed completely concealing herself, spoke to Gretchen in what she thought was a friendly voice, but in Gretchen's eyes, Sirin speaking in that tone sounded more like a child abductor.

"What is it? Big sister, are you going to give Gretsch the goldfish?" Gretsch tilted her head.

"Of course...of course it's not a goldfish! How could I possibly have something like that!"

“But the weird uncles on TV who dress like you are all saying they want to give goldfish to little kids. The TV also says not to go near these weird uncles.” Gretchen blinked, her eyes incredibly innocent.

“But I’m not a creepy uncle.” Sirin sighed helplessly. Kids these days are so hard to fool, although it’s true that they are very wary. “Anyway, take this.” As she spoke, Sirin took out a pretty bracelet and put it on Gretsch’s wrist.

"Make sure you keep it safe, don't lose it!" After doing all that, Xilin gave another instruction, and then ran off in a flash.

Watching Sirin's departing figure, Gretchen wore an extremely puzzled expression. What a strange older sister she was.
