Taking a final glance at the mysterious area filled with unknowns, Ming Yue tore the space in front of him with both hands:
"The First Herrscher is dead, and his core remains at the Fire Moth headquarters."
"I must get the Herrscher Core when I go to the appointment this time."
"Since a single power doesn't work, why not combine them all together?"
"Or, try..."
43 Journey to the Sky
A few days later, after leaving Dusk Town to Ying and others to guard, Ming Yue took Alicia to Sky City.
It was not until noon that the passenger plane they were on arrived at Tiankong Airport.
After walking along the safety passage with the crowd for a while, Ming Yue found an acquaintance in the hall.
Next to the chair, Mebius was wearing a windbreaker, and her tall figure made her stand out from the crowd.
Seeing that she was looking down at the watch screen, Ming Yue could guess without saying anything that she had been waiting for a long time.
As he approached, the increasingly heavy footsteps made Mebius look up suddenly.
After seeing who it was, she said concisely:
"That councilman would rather waste project time than let me greet you."
“This is truly a luxury.”
Nodding, since Mebius had already met Alicia several times when he came to Dusk Town before, Ming Yue didn't need to introduce his girlfriend again:
"Maybe he thought it would appear more sincere this way."
"After all, I, [001], have little to do with the Fire Moth."
Shrugging his shoulders, Mebius glanced at Alicia from the corner of his eye and added:
"Yeah, you're guinea pig number 001."
"Because of you, this time, they have pushed me into a desperate situation."
"That project has become something these people are determined to get at all costs."
Holding hands with Ming Yue, Alicia fell into silence, just smiling slightly to show her kindness.
She hadn't had much contact with Dr. Mebius so far, so there was no need for her to force her way into their conversation.
In Alicia's opinion, it would be enough to just say hello to the other party later.
You are not the protagonist of this mission, so why should you make your presence felt?
Being able to go out for a walk with her boyfriend is the biggest reward for Alicia.
Under her gaze, Ming Yue and Mebius chatted for a few words and then walked down to the airport.
The three of them had a safe journey and arrived in front of a tall building in just half an hour in the Fire Moth's special car.
After getting off the car, Ming Yue followed Mebius and took the opportunity to take a quick look around.
Different from the bustling business office buildings, the Fire Moth's headquarters looks more like a military base built in the city center.
The area is divided by a gate guarded by several armed guards, and inside are various square buildings protected by high walls. Patrol teams can be seen from time to time in the distance, and the atmosphere inside and out exudes seriousness.
After handing the documents to the guard for inspection, Mebius and Ming Yue were able to pass through unhindered.
Seeing him looking around, Mebius couldn't help but say:
"Very boring, isn't it?"
"It's like a steel cage here."
“People inside want to get out, while people outside the wall are full of curiosity.”
Hearing this, Ming Yue stopped in front of the office building entrance and remained silent:
"maybe."
"But there is no cage in this world that can hold me."
Alicia rolled her eyes at him, her face full of disgust:
"Ayue, who asked you this?"
"We're not here to escape prison~"
After pinching her nose, Ming Yue changed his words:
"You're right, but don't say that next time."
Turning his head away and ignoring the young couple's quarrel, Mebius used his ID card to swipe open the door.
Walking quickly to the elevator entrance, she suddenly whispered a few reminders to the other party.
After listening, Ming Yue nodded and took Alicia and Mebius into the elevator.
Dozens of seconds later, after the elevator opened and followed the guide, Ming Yue and the other two arrived at a heavily guarded room.
After confirming that the three people were not carrying deadly weapons, the indifferent woman guarding the door said to the guard inside the room through the intercom:
"No problems were found after the inspection, and the appointment records matched."
"They were indeed guests of Congressman Reid."
Soon, the thick alloy door rose upwards, revealing a steel passage that was wide enough for four or five people to walk side by side.
After passing through the passage, the first thing that caught Ming Yue's eye was the mechanical guards standing on his left and right.
If it was an enemy who entered the passage, he would be greeted by endless bullets instead of the blue light from the scanner.
After a while, after scanning the three people several times to confirm that there was no problem, the two several-meter-tall smart guards let them pass.
Soon, going deeper into the corridor, Ming Yue finally arrived at the door of the other party's office.
After another final review by a female secretary, the three were allowed to enter the room.
Before the door opened, Ming Yue had a clue of the situation. From these security measures, he had another comment on the congressman:
Extremely cautious, or perhaps, afraid of death.
After the door opened, the first person who caught Ming Yue's attention was the well-dressed silver-haired old man sitting opposite the long table.
At this moment, the other party was sitting very casually, but gave him a feeling of awe without anger.
Seeing the guests coming, Reed raised his hand to make a welcoming gesture, his tone slightly deep:
"Mr. Mingyue, Dr. Mobius, and this incredibly beautiful lady, I'm very happy to meet you today."
Reed only glanced at Alicia from the corner of his eye before turning his attention back to the young man opposite him.
He knew very well that beautiful women were the least valuable commodities, and only those who could create value for themselves deserved attention.
Obviously, in Reed's opinion, Ming Yue's temptation to him far exceeds that of the two women beside him.
Standing up, Mebius, acting as the middleman, began his formal introduction:
"Senator Reed, this is Mr. Ming Yue, Fusion Warrior No. 001."
"And the person next to him is his lover, Miss Alicia."
After some business exchanging, seeing that the atmosphere was right, Reed then got to the point:
"Mr. Mingyue, I think you underestimate your own value."
"Not only Dr. Mobius, but according to the evaluations of the scholars of the Fire Moth, your existence itself is a miracle for humanity."
"Initially, our approach to Honkai was resistance and containment, but your appearance has already shaken up this old theory."
Seeing this, Ming Yue pretended not to hear and made up an excuse to get away with it.
Amidst the other party's praise, he only heard two words:
Free stuff.
He is not a hot-blooded young man with a strong sense of justice. How could he decide to make a promise to the congressman for the sake of humanity just because of a few words?
What's more, the current situation of the Fire Moth does not seem like an international organization for humanity, but more like a sophisticated egoist.
Reed was not surprised by Ming Yue's refusal.
From the information available to the other party, he had already come to a conclusion:
This young man must have the ambition of a hero.
In just less than two months, he built a territory of his own from scratch, and won the hearts of the people to continuously develop and expand the territory.
He even eliminated the minister of the Fire Moth because of a grudge they had with each other.
How could such a person allow himself to be slaughtered for the so-called ideals?
With this in mind, Reed ended his probing attempt and instead offered a more advantageous approach:
"Mr. Mingyue, perhaps I didn't make it clear before. There is absolutely no reason for a hero like you to be buried."
"Here, on behalf of the Fire Moth, I extend an invitation to you—"
"Please serve as the commander of the Tianqiong City Cangwu Terrorist Mobile Team!"
44 Force is the cornerstone of rule-making
In an instant, as Congressman Reed named the price, the atmosphere in the entire office froze.
Realizing that the following content had nothing to do with him, Mebius's face turned cold. He lifted up his long legs wrapped in black stockings and began to daydream.
The so-called socializing was exactly what she hated the most.
If I had this much time, I might as well go to the laboratory and continue studying the Honkai Factor.
Suddenly, Mobius heard Ming Yue's magnetic voice:
"Serve as the commander of the Cangwu Special Forces?"
"Mr. Congressman, you flatter me."
"My abilities are not enough to hold such an important position."
With his hands clasped together on the edge of the table, Ming Yue, although smiling, declined the position of commander without hesitation.
Just as Reed had studied his information, he also made sufficient preparations before coming.
Ming Yue was very clear about the Cangwu Terrorist Mobile Team mentioned by the other party.
This is exactly what the Fire Moths are doing in the name of anti-terrorism to wipe out the elite troops related to Honkai.
Compared with the defeated [Poison Pupa], Cangwu not only has a large number of people, but is also stronger.
He also understood:
For ordinary people, like Himiko, who has been working in the shadows for more than a few years and longs to be promoted, becoming the commander of Cangwu is already the pinnacle of life, a beautiful thing that would make them smile even in their dreams.
But Ming Yue knew that even though the position of commander sounded impressive, he was still just a tool in the hands of the parliamentarians.
What he wanted was never to work for others.
At the same time, seeing Mingyue's refusal, Reed was not angry.
For him, he was just a commander, and it was easy to get promoted. It was something that was dispensable.
If the other party really accepted it, Reed would feel that——
This person's vision is just like that, he is a foolish person.
But on the other hand, seeing Mingyue's big appetite, Reid was not sure at first:
Is the other party a smart person with self-awareness, or a cunning person driven by greed?
As the head of the Fire Moth headquarters, Reed can accept his subordinates' ambitions because climbing up the ladder is human nature.
But he couldn't forgive—
Someone is ready to challenge his authority.
After thinking for a moment, Reed made a second offer:
"They all say I'm humble, but I know it's just a compliment."
