Chapter 72: Fire Moth Executives: ...Huh?

[This Honkai broke out very suddenly, and ended very suddenly, and more importantly, the most threatening Honkai beast in this Eruption... was defeated so inexplicably? This is hard for many people to accept]

[A Honkai beast that controls fire dies in the fire... Isn't this some kind of joke?]

[However, after the battle is over, it is time to deal with your problems... Fire Moth requires Sakura and Hen to bring you, Aponia, Pardofelis, and Kalpas back for interrogation.]

[Yes, the interrogation, they regard you as "sinners" because you wantonly accepted "Honkai disease patients" and further caused the disaster called Honkai to break out, so you should be "criminals," and you, the priest who changed Twilight Street and accepted patients, are naturally the "mastermind" of everything.]

[More importantly, the "abnormality" displayed by you and Kalpas... is too alarming.]

[It's just that, during the process of "arresting" you, there was a little "problem"]

[Not to mention that you just fought side by side with Sakura, Hen, and the others, and now you are still "comrades-in-arms" in a sense. It is a bit chilling to put restraints on you in this situation... and more importantly, it is difficult to put restraints on you even if I want to.]

[Let's not talk about Kalpas. He is so irritable that he doesn't care about the reason. Anyone who tries to get close to him will be beaten away by him, and any restraints will be torn to pieces by him. If you hadn't stopped him in time, Kalpas would have fought with them directly... Kalpas would not be afraid even if Sakura was still beside him.]

[As for you, when the soldier was approaching you, the restraint device would inexplicably begin to melt and eventually turn into a pool of molten iron. If you hadn't reminded the soldier in time, and the soldier hadn't reacted quickly enough to discard the restraint device in time, he would have lost his hands.]

[And Aponia and Pardo were protected by you behind you, and you clearly showed your intention to protect them. Even if someone wanted to negotiate with them, Kalpas would forcibly intervene and drive the others away.]

[To be honest, your and Kalpas's resistance and your previous terrifying performance have made many people more convinced of your "abnormality," and even subconsciously judged you as "monsters"... just like those Honkai, no, maybe you are "Honkai creations"?]

[If Sakura and Hen hadn't stopped you, I'm afraid someone would have pointed a gun at you, and it would have been a bad ending.]

[Then, you proposed to them that you wanted to negotiate with the Fire Moths. After a little thought, they agreed... Mainly because they couldn't do anything to you. If they really fought, it would not end well. In addition, you did show friendliness, so it was natural to negotiate.]

[You expressed your thoughts to the Fire Moth, and said that you could accept the Fire Moth taking you and all of you back because this was "Her" arrangement, but... the Fire Moth must give up pursuing the patients who left, and cannot go to other "leaders" to kill the patients.]

[You directly pointed out that Fire Moth had already arranged teams to go to the various "leaders" to kill the patients you had arranged to leave early, so you said that Fire Moth did not need to lie or cover up, and "She" had already told you about this.]

[Naturally, the Fire Moths don't believe what you said. They just think that your intelligence network is so powerful that they can receive all the news from the Fire Moths... However, during the current negotiations, they naturally made some concessions and agreed to your conditions, saying that everything is negotiable.]

[However, they did not back down on the issue of you taking in "Honkai patients". They blamed you for gathering these patients together, which eventually caused the collapse and ultimately destroyed your home, the original Twilight Street.]

['The ultimate blame is on you, on all of you' that's what they said.]

[However, you directly pointed out something that Fire Moth did not mention - in order to maintain the overall order of the world, Fire Moth previously concealed the existence of Honkai from the world and therefore did not popularize knowledge about Honkai to the world.]

[Therefore, people who are unaware of the characteristics of Honkai will unconsciously promote the formation of Honkai... For example, you took in "Honkai patients". Although your original intention was good and kind, it ultimately led to the arrival of disaster.]

[Logically speaking, the most fundamental source of this problem should be the Fire Moth... because "knowing and not reporting is a sin."]

[Besides, you said the same thing again. According to the research of the Fire Moth, the number of patients you took in at Twilight Street had reached the standard for a Honkai outbreak two months ago. So why didn't the Honkai break out at that time? Even in the two months in the middle, Twilight Street continued to take in patients, but there was still no Honkai outbreak. But when the Fire Moth sent people here, it just happened to break out?]

[In response to your rebuttal, Fire Moth did not respond but remained silent. Then, it changed back to a friendly tone, saying that perhaps your situation was special, so it needed special discussion. At the same time, it apologized for their previous toughness. After all, they were so nervous because this matter concerned humans and civilization, so they had to do this.]

[Everything is for humanity... Haha, what a high-sounding reason]

[If you calculate carefully, the number of humans killed by the Fire Moth itself is not much less than that of Honkai; the things that the Fire Moth has done itself are not much better than Honkai.]

[But you can put all of this aside for now. After all, the current Fire Moth... is indeed working for the benefit of human civilization. This is something that "She" has confirmed. Therefore, you obey "Her" will and go to the Fire Moth.]

[As for the others... Kalpas, will definitely be taken away because his fighting ability is too abnormal; Aponia chose to follow you, she said that since you are both people who are cared for by "Her," you should go together; and Pardofelis also chose to go with you.]

[And so, the four of you were brought to the Fire Moth, and then... you were detained and interrogated separately.]

[Aponia and Pardo are okay. As ordinary people, they have not received much "care." Although the Fire Moth regards them as "accomplices," they are not the main targets after all.]

[Kalpas was taken away directly and locked up alone in a place called "The Deepest Place" for additional interrogation.]

[As for you, you are being "taken care of" by the Fire-Chasing Moth... Unfortunately, most of its "means" are useless to you, because those instruments that could harm you will begin to melt when they get close to you within a certain range. Those who are responsible for the execution will feel obvious pain from being burned by flames when they show the intention to harm you.]

[So the Fire Moth plans to turn its "tactics" to Aponia and Pardofelis... "Please don't get me wrong, I don't mean to take action against them, but I just want to use them to put pressure on you and make you admit your "guilt." they said]

[As for what the Fire Moths call their "guilt"... isn't that obvious? It's just that you took in a patient with Honkai disease, which led to the Honkai disease... They stubbornly believe that you took in patients for some special purpose and that you must know some special "secret."]

[You watch them perform deliberately in front of you, listen to their guiding words, and remain silent.]

[You know, the Fire Moths have already determined that your actions have ulterior motives. You must know something, and it is too difficult to change what they already believe.]

[And getting them to admit they were wrong is even harder.]

[So, you didn't say much, but answered their questions one by one according to "Her" will, and warned them slightly when they crossed the line.]

[In the end, the Fire Moth became a little annoyed and decided to use some "special means"... Then "She" told you about it, and you immediately pointed it out.]

["I have to remind you and the people behind you," in the interrogation room, Nozomi looked at the interrogator who was twisting on the ground because of the burning sensation in his body, and then tilted his head to look at the one-way glass on the side, and said to the person on the other side of the one-way glass who was observing the interrogation.]

["The images in your heart are too explicit. Desires that are too strong often lead to disaster. I hope you can encourage yourself." - You said so.]

[Perhaps your words brought them back to their senses. The Fire Moths began to discuss again how to arrange for you... Of course, more importantly, the "leaders" who are still active outside... have begun to move.]

[After losing your suppression and confirming that the effectiveness of the "rules" began to weaken, those "leaders" quickly returned to their original appearance.]

[Greedy, stupid, and violent... With the improvement of their vision and knowledge, the power and authority in their hands have been strengthened, and the disasters brought by those "leaders" are more serious than ever.]

[Although it is not difficult for the Fire Moth to deal with them, the social unrest caused by them still gives the Fire Moth a headache]

  [So they had to adjust their original plans for you. They wanted to get more "value" from you to make up for the manpower and material resources they spent on cleaning up the "leaders" and calming down social unrest... However, more people still wanted to "get rid of" you.]

  [Because the "abnormality" in you is too strange, it must be dealt with. At the same time, someone must take the blame for the social unrest caused by those "leaders"... You are a good choice, enough to appease the people's emotions, not to mention that there is another Eruption caused by you. It can be said that you are the best "scapegoat"]

  [Not only that, the Fire Moth executives are still unwilling to believe that you are taking in patients just because you are kind. Even though they have received enough information from Aponia and Pardofelis, they are still unwilling to admit this.]

  ["As someone who can completely change the chaotic place of Twilight Street, and even push the entire Twilight Street gang to such a level, how could you do such a thing just because of kindness? You must have other reasons!" ——The top leaders of the Fire Moth firmly believed this]

  [Moreover, your actions actually led to the outbreak of Honkai - even if you didn't originally know that the gathering of a large number of patients would lead to the outbreak of Honkai, it is an objective fact that Honkai occurred as a result.]

  [Although the Fire Moths were also at fault for concealing the Honkai, they will not admit it; although they know in their hearts that you should be kind, but for various reasons, "good intentions turned into bad things", they will not admit it.]

  [They would rather believe that you are extremely hypocritical than admit that they were wrong]

  [It's really...disgusting]

  [In the end, a "councilor" suggested that we push you into the "Fusion Warrior Program". After all, the failure rate of the "Fusion Warrior Surgery" is frighteningly high. You can't survive unless you are lucky... This way you will most likely die. Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will become a "Fusion Warrior" and have powerful combat power that can be used by the Fire Moth.]

  [At the same time, this "councilor" emphasized that the Honkai is becoming more and more frequent, and the losses caused by the "Herrscher" are also increasing. The Fire Moth should focus its resources and attention on fighting the Honkai... This proposal was supported by a group of scientific researchers headed by Dr. Mei.]

  [In the end, even Mobius voted in favor... because she learned about your "abnormality" and was very interested in you. She wanted to study you and perform your surgery herself.]

  [So, after careful consideration, Fire Moth approved this proposal and arranged a "Warrior Fusion Surgery" for you, Aponia, and Pardofelis]

  [On the way, you also got to meet the "senator" who proposed this proposal. The moment you saw his appearance, you knew who he was - Light]

  [I never thought that he would actually do it. After leaving the church, he actually became a congressman... It seems that he is really a hardworking and good kid.]

  [And Light obviously recognized you and apologized to you...Getting you the "Fusion Warrior Surgery" was the most direct way he could think of to avoid you being executed by the Fire Moth... He was very sorry that he could not save you, and could only let you break free from the "death sentence" and pursue a slim "hope of survival"]

  [You didn't complain about anything, but just thanked him for his help, and reminded him not to communicate with you too much, as this would make other members of the Fire Moth question his position.]

  [Light also understood, and after chatting with you for a few words, he left... Perhaps you will hardly meet again in the future.]

  [So, a few days later, you were brought into Mobius's laboratory by the Fire Moth... She was quite excited and seemed to have been waiting for you for a long time]

  [She curiously asks you whether "She" really exists, and you naturally give her an affirmative answer]

  [For some reason, she seemed a little excited, but also a little disappointed]

  [Immediately, she began to experiment on your "abnormality", and you cooperated with her... This surprised her. She thought you would be the same as others, or even more resistant to her than others. After all, outsiders called her a "devil". With such a name, she should be hated by a "clergyman" like you.]

  [And you responded to her truthfully - the reason you cooperated so well was because of "Her"'s will, because "She" once said that she was trying to touch "Her"'s ladder, which was not something to be disgusted with, and even though she was so eager, she still had her own bottom line in her heart, which was extremely rare, so "She" should be praised]

  [This answer made Mobius a little stunned for a moment, but then she became even more excited, even a little fanatical... I don't know whether it was because of "Her"'s words, or because she obtained some more special data from you.]

  [Perhaps because the data obtained from you proved her conjecture, Mobius was obsessed with studying you for several days in a row, and even forgot that you still had to undergo "surgery"... In the end, if it weren't for the warning from the Fire Moth, I'm afraid Mobius wouldn't have thought of this matter.]

  [But even so, Mobius still used her power to delay your "operation" again and again, and even postponed the "operations" of Aponia and Pardofelis. It was not until the Fire Moth sent another warning and temporarily froze Mobius's laboratory funds that she began to prepare for your "operation"]

  [As for the Honkai beast you want to fuse, Mobius has also picked a suitable one for you, or in other words, the Honkai beast that has the highest "compatibility" with you selected based on recent experiments - "Michael"]

  [Perhaps this code name may confuse people... But it is actually the Honkai beast in the Twilight Street Eruption, which was burned to death by flames after being lightly touched by you]

  [Yes, it was the Honkai beast that was killed by the flames even though it was controlling the flames.]

  [Before the operation began, Mobius was quite regretful, saying that the time to study you was too short... But she believed that you would survive, right? ]

  [And you just nodded, without responding... because this was "Her" will and arrangement, and you had no complaints]

  [And then... the facts were as expected (or just not in line with Fire Moth's expectations), you... survived and became a "Fusion Warrior", numbered CM-005]

  [Not only that, even Aponia and Pardofelis...they all survived and became "Fusion Warriors"]

  [This unexpected situation surprised the Fire Moths, and they even suddenly realized how naive their original thoughts were... because they had no means to control you.]

  [They had never thought that you could survive the "surgery" in the first place, let alone the possibility that you would all survive... Now... they can't restrain you. Even Aponya and Pardofelis can't restrain them, let alone you.]

  [The situation seems to be getting a little unfavorable for the Fire-Chasing Moth...]

hope you enjoy~
