Honkai Impact 3rd is not considered a small opening

This isn't China; gun ownership is legal here, especially since An Yu trespassed on private property first.

"Well, I just wanted to see if there were any gaps between the two walls. This kind of building structure may not be common in the city, but it is often found in rural areas with dead ends without entrances or exits."

It's unclear why this type of building structure exists, but it's common in many rural areas.

"But you don't need to try to persuade me anymore. I saw it clearly when I climbed up just now. Your big city really doesn't have this kind of building structure."

Stroking her chin, An Yu began to examine the map again.

"Tell me, Brother Hen, is it possible that those dozen or so people are still alive?"

"Imprisoning a dozen or so people may seem more difficult than killing a dozen or so people, but I just thought about it and realized that if the space is large enough and the environment is enclosed, simply imprisoning them might be less likely to be exposed."

An Yu didn't really understand this kind of thing, after all, he used to be just an ordinary child, but Hen, as a soldier, should understand it.

"Under certain conditions, the possibility you described does exist, but these places are all registered. If it were that simple, the police would have solved the case long ago."

Listening to what Brother Hen said, An Yu nodded, still wondering whether or not to trust the local police.

Following his carefully planned circle, An Yu checked the buildings on the map one by one, but soon he was stunned again.

"Can you inspect other people's core production lines, the parts involving patents, in your foreign countries?"

Having spent so much time in China, he had become too trusting of the government's authority and momentarily forgot that foreign countries are capitalist.

Hen was somewhat taken aback. An Yu really seemed to have a problem with her thinking: "Are you kidding me?"

"You'd better be joking."

But soon, Hen's expression turned serious; An Yu's thoughts were somewhat dangerous.

If there were solid evidence, that would be one thing, but he only has his own speculation, which is just nonsense.

An Yu ignored him, sat under the street lamp, and used a pen to circle the large companies and factories.

He began to hate the foreign system.

“An Yu, stop overthinking. A company that big would have no reason to kidnap or kill a dozen or so people.”

"And to put it bluntly, with the financial resources of those companies, no matter how despicable their ideas are, they have better ways to achieve them."

An Yu still ignored him. He circled many places and then pointed to the very center.

“Brother Hen, let’s go take a look here. The pharmaceutical company best fits my assumptions.”

With a calm expression, An Yu had come to a realization: if she discarded her previous beliefs, she would trust no one.

He knew that what Hen said made sense, and that they had no reason to do so, but wasn't this impossibility what most people tacitly accepted?

Just as he initially thought that the police couldn't possibly ignore these places, it turns out that it's very difficult for people to understand each other.

"Where did you get the search warrant?"

An Yu was stunned for a while. It seemed so. This wasn't an isekai adventure novel, so she couldn't just sneak in on her own.

"What's the phone number for the Firemoth intelligence department again?"

Hen remained silent for a while, then looked at An Yu, who was taking out her phone to make a call, and twitched the corner of her mouth.

"You need to contact the administrative department and have them hand over the reins to the police station here."

An Yu nodded as if she understood, and then asked him for the phone number of the administrative department.

mark:……

How would he know?

But this didn't stump An Yu. After several transfers, he finally got through on the phone.

Although he may be a bit introverted, he can still be quite talkative on the phone.

The person who answered the phone was a middle-aged man. After An Yu explained everything, he only asked one question.

"Is this related to the Honkai Impact?"

Hearing the indifferent voice on the other end of the phone, An Yu felt that the joy she had felt from the unspoken understanding with Peng Pengtou had completely vanished.

"related."

Upon hearing this reply, the other party had no doubts and decisively stated that they could go to the police station to obtain a search warrant, and he would handle the rest.

The phone went busy again. An Yu sat by the roadside, pursing her lips.

"Let's go. Now that we have the search warrant, let's not think too much about it."

"Brother Hen, is the Fire Moth really an organization established solely to fight against the Honkai?"

An Yu patted his cheeks, not lost in thought for long, but he began to have some doubts.

He had clearly heard from others that the Moth Chaser was an organization that fought against the Honkai, but what happened today was hard for him to accept. Was it just about fighting against the Honkai?

"That's normal. This is my job, my specialty. This isn't your hometown, China, where there's not much human warmth."

"Moreover, it's not necessarily a good thing to try to manage everything. It's easy to attract people's hatred. The Moths That Chase Flames is, after all, an international organization, an organization that fights against collapse."

Therefore, after realizing that this was most likely not a Honkai event, Hen became so lazy and relaxed. If it has nothing to do with the Honkai, it's best not to interfere in other countries' cases.

Even if you're trying to help out of kindness.

If it weren't for An Yu, he would still be fast asleep, perhaps even contemplating where to go for some fun tomorrow.

"I'm starting to hate foreign countries."

Muttering about the power struggles of important figures, An Yu had already composed herself and went through her thoughts one last time before the taxi arrived.

There shouldn't be any major problems. If I guessed wrong, it just means I was wrong from the start.

"Hmph, what a terrible place, what a terrible city, and the adult culture I hate the most. I was even forced to tell a lie once. Fate will surely bless the invincible savior, Lord An Yu."

Don't make a mistake! If something you've been thinking about all afternoon is wrong from the very beginning, even if you're a genius, it will be hard to find new inspiration in a short time.

Chapter 35: Believe in Science, and the Boss Battle is Coming!

Whether An Yu's prayers were effective or not, once back at the police station, Hen obtained the search warrant in less than three minutes; the efficiency of the Fire Chaser was quite good.

"What, you've come this far, are you going to back down now?"

Holding the newly issued search warrant, he fiddled with the machine used to inspect the broken parts, adjusting it to a temperature alert.

Then, looking at the lively An Yu, he twitched his lips. He had to admit, this child was really quick to act.

But if it has nothing to do with the Honkai, he'll be the one getting scolded when he goes back.

An Yu pondered for a moment, then picked up her phone and dialed Hen's number. As Hen's expression grew increasingly surprised, An Yu pointed to the shadowy area.

"I disagree. If you get shot, I won't be able to go back and explain myself."

"Trying to be cute and charming won't work. If you dare to suggest splitting up, I'll tear up the search warrant right now."

Seeing Brother Hen's resolute expression, An Yu awkwardly didn't dare to continue. Come to think of it, at most she would get a beating or be locked in a dark room in China, but abroad she could really be shot dead.

Logically speaking, if someone comes to search in the middle of the night, the reception staff should still greet them with a smile. The company is indeed highly profitable, but that has nothing to do with the receptionist. The powerful one is the boss, not a small manager.

An Yu was unfamiliar with what was to come. This was Hen's territory, and An Yu was just a simpleton, so Hen didn't expect anything from him.

"By the way, what kind of medicines does your company mainly produce? Health supplements?" Hen asked, looking around as he rambled on with meaningless chatter.

Yes, An Yu thought to himself. He had taken the time to look up information about the company. The health supplements they produced were very effective, and he had heard that they were also very good for male enhancement. Many fitness enthusiasts even bought them.

They walked and talked along the way, and An Yu even doubted whether Hen was seriously investigating, but since she hadn't figured anything out herself, he didn't say anything.

Until An Yu and Hen arrived at a tightly closed door—a real door, at least three meters high, and it would probably take a lot of effort to open. But it was an electronic door, so it should be…

"This is?"

"I'm sorry, gentlemen, this involves some of the company's core secrets, so it will not be on display to the public."

An Yu frowned; he knew this would happen. But they had a search warrant. If the warrant wasn't high enough, he would continue to harass the Moth Chaser's staff.

Hen pressed down on An Yu's shoulder, stared at the smiling receptionist for a moment, and then gave up the idea of ​​going in.

"We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this inspection. We have to go to the next company, so we won't stay any longer."

Before An Yu could react, Hen grabbed her and prepared to leave.

An Yu wanted to struggle, but Hen used a lot of force this time.

It wasn't until they reached the entrance of the next company that Hen looked thoughtfully back at the pharmaceutical company they had just visited.

"Stop being stubborn, make a call, this is truly a breakdown."

Hen found An Yu's puzzled expression somewhat amusing.

"What era are we living in? You're still playing the detective game. You need to believe in science."

As he spoke, Hen took out the instrument from before. The instrument, which originally had only a horizontal line, now showed up with undulating waves like an electrocardiogram.

"Don't look at me, I didn't find anything either, but the machine doesn't lie. Besides, this is the latest product from the research department. Currently, apart from that Soul Steel, there is no substance that can block this thing from detecting."

Speaking of this, Hen's expression became more amused. Originally, he was just accompanying An Yu and satisfying her youthful spirit, but it turned out to be a real breakdown, especially in such a large company, and the concentration of such incidents was not low.

"I can tell your mood improved immediately."

An Yu scrolled through his contacts, but soon he looked up expressionlessly: "You want me to make a call?"

You are the one in the military; I'm just an unemployed young man, where would I get a contact?

"Yeah, I was so happy I got all confused."

Although all Honkai events are dangerous, we are currently at the forefront of information and have ample time to prepare. These are not criminals; this is a meritorious service for them!

"I don't understand what you're happy about."

"When will the Fire-Chasing Moths arrive?"

An Yu shook his head, not particularly curious about Hen's emotional changes. What he cared about most right now was the life and death of those dozen or so people.

After all, these are human lives, and as his savior, he certainly wouldn't just stand by and do nothing.

"Two hours later." Seeing An Yu's shocked expression, Hen's lips curled into a smile: "At the latest."

Moths that chase fire have many dark places, but they are impeccable when it comes to efficiency.

As a member of the Moth of Fire army, he was naturally extremely proud of it.

Hen was not lying; just 72 minutes later, An Yu saw the special operations team.

"What's next?"

It was very simple. Under An Yu's bewildered gaze, they made a phone call, and then the entire area lost power.

He sniffed, as if he knew what was going to happen next.

Sure enough, the first place I went after sneaking in... or rather, going all out was the power supply room.

Twenty-three minutes later, An Yu stood in front of that door again, but this time, no one would stop him from opening it.

Well then, let me witness the evil in human nature that I cannot comprehend.

As the force gradually increased, the heavy door was pushed open completely, and the blast of cold air startled An Yu. It was very cold, just like a room that had been air-conditioned for a long time.

Naked corpses lay in formalin, purple veins spreading across their bodies. Some had missing limbs, while others had many wounds.

But this is collapse.

What is the point of doing this?

Suppressing her urge to vomit, An Yu made her way to the end, looking at the final product condensed in the test tube.

It's just a small tube of liquid.

"There's no need to be so fierce, folks. Trust me, this technology will definitely be widely used."

"Although it is highly corrosive, the serum extracted from the corpse can enhance a person's physique and even easily surpass the limits of the body. This is much stronger than adrenaline."

"The only regret is that, due to the imperfections of the technology, only this much material can be extracted from so many bodies, and there is no way to replicate it."

"It's as if this strange substance has patented itself."

The guy who was tied up wasn't afraid at all, and even had the leisure to tell lame jokes. In this country where profit is paramount, he didn't think he would suffer because he had mastered the core technology.

The logic is hard to hear; these soldiers shouldn't be thinking about these things. These are matters for important people, but they're not NPCs.

As the gun fell to the ground, it seemed everyone ignored the loud sound. After confirming that no one had reminded him, Hen glanced at An Yu.

"Hey, little brother, don't do anything reckless! No, let's talk this over. Wait, wait a minute, I have something else to say..."

boom!
