"So, do you have any information about the strange things that happened in the sky before?" Himeko looked at Miss Jeanne and asked for the first time why she came here to investigate. After all, Himeko wouldn't have come here just for a warrior who could join her team.
"Oh, we don't know about that," Miss Jeanne replied to Himeko's question.
"Don't know? Oh well, as long as I know you're human, that's enough." Himeko looked at Ms. Jeanne, his gaze lingering on her narrowed eyes for a moment before he said this, seemingly intending to add her to his team.
However, it is ultimately just an appearance.
The moment she finished speaking, Himeko strode up to Jeanne and punched her in the face with a fist.
However, Himeko's punch was blocked by Jeanne. Jeanne did not use her Zanpakuto or anything else; instead, she simply opened her palm and caught Himeko's punch.
"Oh dear, it seems you really don't believe me." Jeanne said this as she looked at Himeko who suddenly threw a punch, but Jeanne's words seemed to indicate that she had guessed Himeko's distrust of her from the beginning.
"Well, what can I do? I've met so many people." Himeko looked at Ms. Jeanne, who had effortlessly blocked her attack, and began to regret her sudden attack earlier. But there was nothing she could do about it. After all, Himeko had encountered ordinary people who treated Honkai as gods, so this kind of probing was a normal outcome.
"Being wary isn't a bad thing, but it seems a bit troublesome for me to make contact with the top echelons of your organization." Jeanne said this while dodging Himeko's attacks, her words devoid of much malice. And Jeanne shouldn't be too malicious this time either, since she could glean some information from Fu Hua's trinkets, and considering Himeko's situation in the city, she was pretty much certain.
It was something she had to do, and although it was a little troublesome, Miss Jeanne had no choice but to do it.
"If you want to communicate with Dr. Mei, you should at least make your background look clean, instead of being of unknown origin like this." While talking, she attacked. Miss Jeanne was the first opponent Himeko had encountered since becoming a captain. She was like an eel, impossible to catch, impossible to hit, and even if she hit her, she couldn't do any harm. This was also the first time Himeko had encountered such an opponent besides fighting against Herrschers.
“So your name is Dr. Mei. Then I’ll set my sights on her for now. After all, if it’s her, she should still believe what I say.” Miss Jeanne quickly grasped the key point in Himeko’s words.
"That's a good idea." With that, Himeko threw another punch, but she quickly stopped herself, because if she took another step forward, she would be killed.
"Looks like you held back after all." Miss Jeanne said, looking at Himeko who suddenly stopped, while the blade in her hand was already pressed against Himeko's neck.
As for how Ms. Jeanne did it, it's because she simply struck a pose and then her Zanpakuto appeared. Himeko, of course, didn't understand the meaning of that pose, so he just charged in headfirst, which led to the current situation.
It is precisely because of the current situation that Himeko stopped.
"Of course I'll hold back. After all, you're not a Herrscher, and you don't seem to be someone who's been bewitched by Honkai. So, my only course of action against you is to find out your identity." Himeko looked at the suddenly appearing blade and recalled the Honkai energy fluctuations that she hadn't sensed at all before, so she could only reveal her initial plan.
"Oh, it seems I should have been the one you kidnapped earlier." Miss Jeanne said to Himeko, after all, being kidnapped was one way to see Dr. Mei, whom Himeko had mentioned.
It just doesn't look that glamorous.

The Genius and the Two-in-One Detective (Part 2): Chapter 8: Future Man, Otherworldly Man, and the Last Superpowered Person Left?
In the end, Miss Jeanne could only be taken back by the helpless Himeko. After all, he couldn't beat her in a fight. However, the fact that Miss Jeanne hadn't tried to kill him in the previous battle made Himeko somewhat expect that Miss Jeanne wouldn't suddenly attack.
"So, Hua, you ended up in that alley because of the Honkai energy eruption in Canghai City?" Miss Jeanne asked, looking at Hua sitting next to her. However, Miss Jeanne could also tell that this era was suffering from Honkai damage. Judging from the extent of the Honkai, Miss Jeanne was pretty sure that a large-scale Honkai hadn't happened here yet.
Of course, Miss Jeanne is still unclear about the specifics. After all, Miss Jeanne doesn't have real-time information about this world, so she doesn't know what the collapse of this timeline is like, although she does know that this era is doomed.
"What exactly do you want to know by constantly inquiring about the Honkai?" Himeko asked Jeanne, who was sitting behind her. Beside Himeko was a large sword, seemingly to prevent Jeanne from suddenly picking her up.
"Well, these things are quite useful to me, and I can tell you that I know nothing about this world, but I can't tell you where I came from." Miss Jeanne said this while looking at Himeko, but even though Miss Jeanne said this, she revealed almost nothing about her own identity.
"You know nothing about this world? Are you from another world?" Himeko quickly grasped the important information in Miss Jeanne's words, as if he had found a clue about Miss Jeanne's identity. Of course, this was only if Himeko truly believed everything Miss Jeanne said.
However, even if Himeko believed everything Jeanne said, she still couldn't guess Jeanne's true identity. After all, the way Jeanne came here might be unbelievable to most people in the world. But Jeanne knew her true identity, and at least Hua, who was sitting next to her now, would believe it. Because Hua wouldn't believe it now, and Fu Hua would believe everything Jeanne said in the future. It's just a matter of whether she would believe it now.
“An outsider, I suppose so.” Miss Jeanne said, looking at Himeko. Her words seemed to confirm Himeko’s guess. In a sense, it was true that Miss Jeanne was from another world. After all, she did come from another world, even if it was 50,000 years in the future. But no matter what, it was true that Miss Jeanne was from another world.
"Then you really are unlucky to have arrived in a world like this." After hearing Miss Jeanne describe her identity in this way, Himeko had a smug smile on her face. However, Himeko's words were not unreasonable. After all, this world was full of decay, and the possibility of civilization surviving was almost non-existent. From this point of view, arriving in such an alien world was indeed a great misfortune.
"No, no, I don't think arriving in this other world is a great misfortune. Every world has its own unique circumstances, but each world is different. Although some worlds may be similar, they will all have subtle differences. And these subtle differences are what I, a person from another world, can feel... well, how should I put it? Should I call it pleasure or novelty?" That's what Ms. Jeanne said in response to Himeko's words, but she left half a sentence unsaid, or rather, she didn't intend for anyone else to hear it.
"Different worlds, huh? That sounds like an interesting situation. However, I can't understand your thoughts as someone from another world, since I can't go to another world." As she said this, Himeko raised her head slightly, as if she was starting to think about the situation in another world based on the differences between the other worlds that Miss Jeanne mentioned. For example, was there a girl named Himeko in that other world, and was Himeko's life like hers now, where she could lose her life at any moment?
"Jeanne, are you from another world? Has the world you came from collapsed?" Hearing this, even Hua, who had been silent beside Miss Jeanne, began to ask her own question. It was understandable that she would ask such a question, after all, her home, Canghai City, had only been dead for a few days.
“Some have it, some don’t. But it’s understandable that there are such differences between worlds, after all, it’s another world.” Miss Jeanne turned her head and looked at the girl with a confused expression on her face.
"Then, what about those worlds that have collapsed?" Upon hearing Ms. Jeanne's answer, Hua quickly asked a new question. Although it was a very simple question, Ms. Jeanne did not answer Hua this time.
After shaking her head, Miss Jeanne looked at Hua and said, "Although the technology of that world is not as advanced as that of this world, it is also fighting against the Honkai. However, I was just passing through at that time, so I didn't study it in detail."
Upon hearing this answer, Hua lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.
"What about those worlds that haven't collapsed?" While Hua asked about the situation in the collapsed worlds, Himeko was asking about the worlds that hadn't collapsed. In Himeko's imagination, worlds that hadn't collapsed should be wonderful, at least much better than this world that was riddled with holes by the collapse. After all, no matter what, a world couldn't be worse than a world on the verge of destruction.
“Some worlds may not have collapsed, but other factors are still causing harm to them. Although those factors are not as destructive to human civilization as collapse, that’s for sure.” Miss Jeanne looked at Himeko and gave a not-so-bad answer.
"It's better than the Honkai, but compared to the Honkai, there's not much power that could pose such a great threat to human civilization." Himeko simply replied to Jeanne's answer. However, it's normal for Himeko to have such a reaction, since she has never been to another world and her knowledge of it is just a fantasy.
"Well, compared to the other world, I think you should try your best to overcome the current difficulties." Miss Jeanne said this last thing when she saw that Himeko didn't react. After all, what Miss Jeanne said before was just a simple interplay between reality and fiction. However, in order not to reveal her identity as a person from the future, Miss Jeanne could only briefly mention that she was from another world.
"However, you still haven't said why you want to see Dr. Mei." Himeko abruptly changed the subject, asking Ms. Jeanne another question, one that was also a key issue for Himeko to focus on.
"As for why I wanted to see Dr. Mei, just consider it a girl's (?) secret. But you can't beat me, so you won't be able to get the answer." As for Himeko's question, Miss Jeanne naturally dealt with it casually. After all, in Miss Jeanne's eyes, there are probably only a few people who can directly face the destruction of their own civilization and calmly accept it.
"It seems important. This is what you need to tell Dr. Mei." As for Ms. Jeanne's situation, Himeko didn't plan to ask any further questions. After all, she had asked several times before, but she hadn't been able to get any effective information from Ms. Jeanne.
Therefore, Himeko ultimately decided to hand this matter over to another department of the Firemoth, since Himeko wasn't specifically in the field of intelligence interrogation.
Hua seemed to want to ask something more, but his attempt to ask Miss Jeanne a question was interrupted before it even began.
"Captain Himeko, we've arrived."

This chapter was uploaded from my phone, so there are no thanks.
By the way, after thinking about it, I think I'd better not write another 250 words to reach 3,000.
The Genius and the Two-in-One Detective (Part 2): Chapter Nine Ciao~ (Snake-Skin Monster Limited Edition)
Dr. Mei was one of the many scientists recruited by the Fire Moth after the Third Honkai Outbreak. Of course, among these scientists, Dr. Mei was undoubtedly the most dazzling one.
As for Ms. Jeanne, she naturally had a certain degree of resistance to Mei's situation. After all, two people who looked extremely familiar had already appeared before, so Ms. Jeanne was naturally aware that Dr. Mei might also be a very familiar person.
Upon meeting Dr. Mei, Miss Jeanne immediately recognized who he resembled. Although Miss Jeanne hadn't met that person often, the resemblance was so striking that it was impossible for her not to recognize him.
"Himeko told me you seem to want to see me." Mei asked Miss Jeanne, sitting behind a thick glass panel. Miss Jeanne could tell that Mei was very puzzled as to why Miss Jeanne wanted to see her.
"Hmm, more or less, but I'm here to ask you about the method of making Soul Steel." Miss Jeanne looked at Mei and asked the first question she wanted to ask directly. Although this question wasn't as important as the next two, it was undoubtedly the most suitable way to let Dr. Mei know what she wanted to do. Besides, Miss Jeanne wasn't without other ways to make Dr. Mei realize what she wanted to do, but those methods weren't suitable for this time.
After all, this is just a small branch of the Fire Moth. However, Ms. Jeanne is unsure just how strong the Fire Moth in this world really is. So, if she were to use the Second Herrscher's abilities directly, Ms. Jeanne can't guarantee that she could survive in this hail of bullets. However, she could consider using the Remnant Blade to burn the entire Earth to ashes. But if she did that, the future might take a strange turn. So, considering this, Ms. Jeanne doesn't plan to use the Herrscher of the Void's abilities.
"Impossible. The method for making Soul Steel is still a secret. You can't have it if you want it." Just as Miss Jeanne thought, Mei directly rejected Miss Jeanne's request.
"Well, let's not be in such a hurry. Why don't we check the time this thing has been through before we think about why I brought this up?" Miss Jeanne looked at Dr. Mei, smiled slightly, and then took out a small ornament from her jacket pocket. After examining the ornament, she said this, her words implying that she was certain that Mei would agree to her proposal after examining the ornament.
"This is... Himeko, go and take out what she's holding." Mei fell right into Jeanne's little trap. However, it was impossible not to fall for such a trick, since Moth of Fire had some knowledge of archaeology. However, all of Moth of Fire's archaeological discoveries so far had revealed the existence of other civilizations before them. But, after looking at what Jeanne was holding, Mei noticed something, something very important.
That is, before this, no civilization had developed something like Soul Steel. Now, Soul Steel only exists in the research department of the Fire Moth, which is constantly producing more and better Soul Steel as the initial sample.
Mei was naturally aware of this matter, but she also knew that there was no possibility of the Soul Steel being exposed at present. So, considering this point, Miss Mei could basically confirm one thing, which was a very important matter.
“I know you know what this is, but I can’t tell you what it means. Of course, what I can tell you is that it’s best to test it when there are fewer people around.” After handing the small trinket to Himeko, Miss Jeanne said this to Mei on the other side of the glass. The way Miss Jeanne spoke made it seem as if she was certain that Mei would go back and study the trinket that Miss Jeanne had given her.
“I understand. So, the information about the otherworldly beings that Himeko got from you must also be false, right?” Mei asked Miss Jeanne after taking the small trinket from Himeko.
“No, that’s not right. Your identity as someone from another world is real, though there’s a hidden identity beneath it. But I won’t reveal that identity until you teach me how to make Soul Steel.” As Miss Jeanne spoke, she raised her hand, pressed two fingers to her lips, and forced an awkward smile. This smile, unusually, made Mei feel the true meaning of mockery. It was rare for Miss Jeanne to make Mei feel mocked, but it was understandable that Mei felt this way. The difference in their information and identities was vast. Miss Jeanne, who frequently mingled with treacherous adults, was on one side, while Mei was a researcher working in a laboratory. Therefore, it was normal for Mei to be outmatched by Miss Jeanne in this matter.
"Is that so, Kevin? Let's go and examine this." Hearing Jeanne's words, Mei didn't intend to say anything more. After all, Mei could tell that if she didn't understand the meaning of this ornament, Jeanne wouldn't say another word.
“But, she…” Kevin looked at Miss Jeanne sitting across the glass, then at Mei walking straight toward the door. He seemed to be a little conflicted about whether to watch over Miss Jeanne or go out with Mei.
"What are you thinking about? It's time to go. She won't run away." Mei interrupted Kevin abruptly, seemingly having already guessed Miss Jeanne's plan.
"Well, that's how it is. You two should investigate what it is before coming to me." Miss Jeanne watched the two people gradually disappear through the glass, her previous forced smile fading to a smile that seemed to say she had everything under control.
"You don't need to tell me. I'll deal with you after I've finished my examination." Mei retorted directly to Ms. Jeanne's words.
"Wait until the examination is complete before deciding whether to resolve my issue."
"Ciao~"

The Genius and the Two-in-One Detective (Part 2): Chapter Nine: The Cards Miss Jeanne Can Play
The spirit transfer device, simply put, is a time jump device. There are different time jump machines in different worlds, and of course, they mostly look different. One of the drawers is the most famous, and equally famous is the bunch of gadgets carried by the cat who is afraid of mice.
Different time-jump devices represent different impacts that time jumps will have on the future. Of course, none of the above are important to explain. The only thing that needs to be emphasized now is that the time-jump device used by Miss Jeanne is quite different from the ones mentioned before. Miss Jeanne's time-jump device can directly allow people from another era to observe and connect with Miss Jeanne's era. Although it seems a bit troublesome, it must be said that this is indeed a great change.
Even so, they still know when to contact Miss Jeanne and when not to.
"Jeanne, are you alright? After all, such a long period of spirit particle transfer should have caused some damage to your body, right?" Cecilia asked Miss Jeanne from the other end of the communication.
"Alright, let's not talk about that now. Have you contacted Raiden Mei and Himeko yet?" As for Cecilia's concern, Miss Jeanne naturally just brushed it off with a casual remark. After all, the problems caused by the spirit particle transfer weren't a big deal for Miss Jeanne, since there was still a possibility of healing. However, if Miss Jeanne's situation wasn't resolved now, she would find it very troublesome.
Upon hearing Miss Jeanne's words, Cecilia quickly realized what Miss Jeanne was about to do.
"Yes, Raiden Mei and Himeko are already here. Should we use the communication system to let them see what's happening on your end?" Cecilia quickly realized what Jeanne wanted to do, but rather than realizing it, it was more accurate to say that her concern for Jeanne had outweighed the necessity of completing this task.
"I see, that's good. After all, they're needed right now. What's the situation with Fu Hua? I told you before that Fu Hua should be here too." Jeanne asked Cecilia on the other side, her tone suggesting she was quite worried about the matter.
“Fu Hua said she didn’t show up, so…” Cecilia quickly explained why Fu Hua wasn’t there. After all, Miss Jeanne knew very well that Fu Hua had lived through that era, so if Fu Hua said she wasn’t there, then she really wasn’t. Besides, Fu Hua wouldn’t joke about something like that.
"Is that so? Then what about Kevin's side?" In just a few seconds, Miss Jeanne understood what Fu Hua wanted to express. After understanding the message Fu Hua wanted to convey, Miss Jeanne naturally understood why Fu Hua hadn't appeared.
"As for Kevin, there's no result yet, but we can treat Kevin as someone like Fu Hua." Soon, another voice answered Cecilia's question, and Miss Jeanne naturally recognized who it was.
