Chapter 121: Dusk Street Full of Talents

[After fulfilling your promise to Li and Yin, you returned to "Fire Moth." After continuing to follow up on Aponia's affairs and confirming that the "Fire Moth" rescue station was completed, you also felt relieved and set foot on the original path again.]

[While maintaining the superficial "Bard" project, you will go to the site of the collapse to serve as a "taunting doll" when necessary, and occasionally return to the "Fire Moth" base to assist Mobius and others in their research.]

[Unfortunately, no matter how hard Mobius and Mei try, they are ultimately unable to replicate your "characteristics." Even if they can completely replicate the frequency of your singing, they still cannot achieve the effect of "pacifying" Honkai Beasts.]

[Mobius also thought halfway through, since your singing can affect Honkai energy to a certain extent, then whether Honkai energy can also affect your song to a certain extent, as long as you find a way, maybe the "effect" of your singing will become stronger... However, in the end, both Mobius and Mei rejected this proposal.]

[Nothing else, it's simply because it's too dangerous, and according to Mobius's idea, this method is very likely to require you to come into contact with Honkai energy... If you, the precious "guinea pig," are accidentally killed, how can Mobius continue her research?]

[After repeatedly confirming that your "characteristics" cannot be replicated for the time being, "Fire Moth" has temporarily put aside its research on you and only asked Vill-V to research a portable device that can transmit your singing voice further, so as to expand the scope of influence of your "characteristics" as much as possible.]

[You feel a little bit sorry... 'If this "characteristic" could be copied, if this "characteristic" could become stronger, then wouldn't it be possible to save more people?' You often think like this.]

[…Forget it, let's not focus on these annoying things and talk about something happy~]

[For example, after you leave Twilight Street, some interesting things happen when the Fire Moth transforms the "sanatorium" into a rescue station.]

[In the beginning, it was the local gangs that came to cause trouble very rudely, several times a day. There were also many people hanging around outside, monitoring your transformation of the "sanatorium," and whenever they had the chance, they would come over and say something nonsense, with an ill-intentioned look... Oh, no, you are the "comers."]

[However, this was of no use to "Fire Moth." After discovering this, it immediately transported a batch of equipment over and asked Li and Yin to drive away those annoying guys. This can be regarded as a part of cooperation. At the same time, "Fire Moth" required that Kalpas must be brought along for the action. Obviously, "Fire Moth" intended to take this opportunity to observe whether Kalpas was the "special person."]

[As for the final result... Li and Yin led the team and followed behind, watching Kalpas rushing into the territories of the major gangs like a wild boar, laughing wildly and excitedly while beating up the people from the major gangs. His terrifying fighting power made people shudder.]

[With the addition of weapons provided by "Fire Moth," other gangs in Twilight Street soon fell silent. They either chose to cooperate with Li and others or acquiesced to the actions of "Fire Moth."]

[Well, anyway, Li and his gang have the support of some people from Twilight Street. Even if he is half a Twilight Street person, then the renovated "sanatorium" can also be regarded as a "property" under the name of Li and his gang. If you round it off, Twilight Street is still Twilight Street, and there are no "outsiders" occupying space here... The surviving gang comforted themselves in this way.]

[In short, it's just cowardice.]

[However, there are still many people who have some crooked thoughts. After all, after seeing the advanced weapons of the "Fire Moth," who cannot be tempted?]

[So, some people who were hoping for a lucky break started to use some sneaky tricks... In simple terms, they sneaked into the rescue station or the base of Li and stole the weapons stored by the "Fire Moth."]

[After their painstaking efforts, they actually succeeded a few times.]

[However, Li and Yin also have their own coping strategies - they find a "kitten" who is quite famous in Twilight Street and asked her to help find the stolen weapons. In return, they can provide her with a stable job and residence.]

[At first, the "Fire Moth" personnel assigned here did not understand why the team went all the way to find a person who grew up in Twilight Street and a "kitten" who was no different from a thief.]

[But after getting to know the local conditions and customs of Twilight Street, the people of "Fire Moth" still sighed that being a thief in this ghost place was really a conscientious existence. At the same time, they sincerely admired that Li and Yin could establish a gang here.]

[And afterwards, the performance of this "kitten" surprised "Fire Moth" even more... She actually found all the stolen weapons in just one night. Except for a few that she couldn't "take" back directly, she brought back all the others, and even wrote down every gang that stole the weapons.]

[This ability to find items surprised the people of "Fire Moth"... This is too outrageous. Although this place, Twilight Street, is not big, it is not small either. And we have to take into account the hiding places of various gangs... How did this "kitten" find all of them in one night?]

[This outrageous incident made "Fire Moth" feel that this must be another "special person."]

[After conducting simple inquiries and tests, it was confirmed that this "kitten" could quickly find objects or people, even if they were hidden in the most secret corners... "Fire Moth" expressed a burst of ecstasy.]

[Because if her outrageous search ability is used in search and rescue, she will definitely be able to save more survivors... But this "kitten" is still too timid, and needs some special training before she can go to the battlefield and take on search and rescue missions.]

[Oh, by the way, the name of this "kitten" is "Pardofelis."]

[Also...isn't this place called Twilight Street a bit too outrageous? Why are there so many "special people"? they found two when they first came here to set up a rescue station. And as time goes by, "Fire Moth" gradually discovers the problem with Aponia. The words that can easily "convince" others are very "weird" no matter how you look at it...Could she also be a "special person"? There are already three of them!]

[Fuck, is this Twilight Street a job market? How outrageous?!]

[But Fire Moth also felt relieved. Fortunately, they listened to you and went to Twilight Street for your sake. Otherwise, they would not have discovered that there are so many talented people here.]

[Especially when Kalpas stepped onto the battlefield and showed his overwhelming combat power, and after Pardofelis repeatedly made outstanding achievements in the search and rescue mission, "Fire Moth" became more and more grateful to you. After all, in a sense, it was you who introduced these people.]

[Later, "Fire Moth" also transferred Aponia to the base. Relying on her easy-to-persuade words and her desire to help others, she opened a confession room to alleviate the psychological problems of the soldiers, and the effect was surprisingly good.]

[As for problems... it's not that there aren't any, it's just that Kalpas gets agitated too easily, and his fighting style is too violent, so he can't cooperate with other teams at all. But fortunately, Aponia and you can persuade him to calm down a little and obey the orders of "Fire Moth."]

[To be honest, this is quite strange, because it is normal for him to listen to Aponia. After all, he worked as a porter in Aponia's "sanatorium" before, and was picked up by Aponia. It is normal to listen to her, but as for you... he chose to listen to you after an accident.]

[That day, Kalpas was looking for you in the "Fire Moth" as usual, clamoring to tear off your "hypocritical skin" and let you fight with him... In the end, he found you in the isolation area where the "Honkai Disease" patients were placed, and met many people who had left the "Sanatorium" here.]

[you heard from others that when Kalpas noticed that you were singing for those people, trying your best to use your "characteristics" to soothe their emotions, to free them from their anxious emotions, and restore them to a safe and relaxed mood... When Kalpas noticed the smiles on the faces of the patients, especially the children, and their expressions full of hope and joy that their lives could be continued, Kalpas suddenly stopped, became quiet, and became calm, as if he was worried that his noise would disturb you.]

[Since then, Kalpas rarely behaves noisily in front of you, nor does he shout in the "Fire Moth" that he wants to fight you. Even in the face of your requests, although Kalpas will still complain a few times and retort to you in an irritable tone, he will choose to obey most of the time.]

[The stark contrast between Kalpas's appearance before and after surprised many people, and also made people realize that Kalpas was not a bad person, but his attitude and words seemed very manic and awkward... As a result, a heated discussion on "how to build a good relationship with Kalpas" broke out within the "Fire Moth." After all, who doesn't want to get to know this weird, powerful, and mysterious warrior?]

[Then, at some point, a strange book titled "One Hundred Questions about the Kalpas Mask: From Beginner to Mastery" began to circulate within the "Fire Moth" and quickly became a popular publication... I heard that this book was written by Elysia.]

[Also, according to reader feedback, this book is half useful and half useless, but which half... everyone has their own opinions. But through this incident, the relationship between the people in "Fire Moth" has unknowingly become closer.]

[You didn't feel surprised at all, and even sighed - you are worthy of it, Elysia.]

[Oh, by the way, speaking of this, you have to talk a little about Elysia, or rather, express a little complaint about Elysia.]

[Damn it, Eden is going to be taken away! Don't do that kind of thing… I'm just kidding.]

[It's mainly because after spending some time together, Eden really likes Elysia, because she can always see similarities with you in Elysia, but also differences... This makes her particularly fond of you.]

[Elysia also likes you and Eden very much and is concerned about your, um... relationship. Add to that a little bit of girlish curiosity, and Elysia often asks Eden about the "progress" between you two, curious about how far you have developed.]

[After a few visits, the two became familiar with each other. Coupled with Elysia's unique liveliness, people often saw Elysia and Eden together.]

[Of course, Elysia won't always be with Eden. After all, she has other people she likes and wants to get to know. This just leaves some space for you and Eden to get along. Ah... No, maybe you have to include Sakura occasionally?]

[To be honest, when Elysia realized the relationship between the three of you, she was somewhat surprised, and even asked Eden's opinion in private with some obscure words... And when Elysia saw that Eden didn't seem to care, or was so confident that she didn't have the slightest worry, she was a little shocked, and then she sighed again at your wonderful and romantic relationship.]

[Hmm? How did you know that? Of course, Eden told you.]

[As I said before, you are "twin stars" who depend on each other and shine on each other. You don't need too many "secrets" between you.]

[So, just like this, you slowly spent these peaceful and gradually improving days, and you gradually became proficient in the job of "taunting puppet." With the cooperation of the "Fire Moth" soldiers and the equipment specially made for you by Vill-V, you gradually followed the team to the more dangerous Honkai outbreak sites to alleviate the problem of large-scale casualties of soldiers caused by the "Fire Moth" when facing high-risk Honkai beasts.]

[Although "Fire Moth" once promised not to let you go to high-risk areas, but... as the Honkai outbreaks become more frequent, you become more familiar with the battlefield, and after Kalpas joined, the combat power of the frontal battlefield has increased... and at your own request, "Fire Moth" still agreed to let you go to those dangerous areas.]

[There is no other way. Everything is for the purpose of fighting the Honkai. If it can help us kill the Honkai beast faster, better, and more safely, and even save more people, then it seems that it is not impossible for you to take a little risk?]

[In the end, it was proved that this decision was correct. With the joining of you and Kalpas, the soldiers of "Fire Moth" no longer need to sacrifice many people when facing high-risk Honkai beasts. Although there will still be casualties, compared with the past, this loss can be said to be completely insignificant.]

["Fire Moth" gradually put their mind at ease and began to deal with other problems... On the one hand, they wanted to advance some plans that might solve the Honkai, and on the other hand, they wanted to deal with those who were infected by the Honkai.]

[Because of your song, a large number of infected people survived the Honkai outbreak, and most of these people were received by the "Fire Moths" and were isolated in various countries.]

[But the problem is that there is no medicine that can cure the erosion of Honkai. We can only rely on your song and the reagents developed by Mobius to alleviate the erosion of Honkai... This has placed a heavy burden on society, and "Fire Moth" must now deal with this problem properly.]

[After all, we can't "give up" now. These people were rescued from the battlefield with great difficulty by the soldiers. Especially with your joining, the soldiers are more enthusiastic about saving these infected people. After all, these are the people they failed to save before.]

[If the soldiers found out that the "Fire Moth" had "given up" again, or even "voluntarily given up" on these people... then the morale of the entire "Fire Moth" would probably collapse.]

[But if we leave it alone, the burden on society will be too heavy. Even if your song helps, mass production of inhibitory reagents is not a big deal.]

[Therefore, "Fire Moth" has only one way left to go - to devote all their energy to the development of a drug that can solve the problem of Honkai erosion.]

[Then at this critical juncture, the "Sixth Great Honkai Eruption" broke out.]

[Faced with this newly appeared "Herrscher," "Fire Moth" hesitated for a long time and decided to let you try it a little to see if your song and your "characteristics" can be effective on the "Herrscher." You yourself are willing to give it a try. Many soldiers did not express their opinions after a long time, obviously tacitly agreeing to this order.]

[After all... if your song is really effective, then there won't be so many deaths in the future "Herrscher Crusade," and they can live well - who would want to die? Right?]

[But at this moment, this order was opposed by Kalpas.]

[Kalpas even violently blocked this order, scolding you for being so eager to die, while loudly cursing "Fire Moth," asking how dare they issue such a ridiculous order, are their brains filled with water?!]

[Kalpas's reaction is confusing, but due to Kalpas's violent disobedience, you were unable to participate in this "Herrscher Crusade."]

[…And the final facts also proved that Kalpas's move of not letting you participate in the "war of conquest" was correct.]

[In this "suppression battle," Kalpas chased after the "Sixth Herrscher" and beat him. With the help of Kevin, Elysia, and other members of the team, the "Sixth Herrscher" was almost suppressed and unable to raise its head. If it weren't for the special nature of its power, it would have died long ago.]

[However, when the "Sixth Herrscher" found that she could not fight against the "Fire Moth," she simply went all out, completely unleashed her own power, and "exploded" with them.]

[Even though Kalpas, Kevin, and Elysia realized this, Kalpas quickly killed it, but still failed to stop the power it spread.]

[As a result, the entire city, along with the surrounding towns, fell into complete silence. Even several nearby cities were not spared. After the emergency rescue by the "Fire Moth," the number of survivors in several cities was less than four digits.]

[In the "Fire Moth" team, except for Kalpas, Kevin, and Elysia, all other team members, including members of the peripheral support team and the receiving team, all died, no one was spared.]

[More importantly, due to the nature of the Sixth Herrscher's power, the "Honkai Disease" began to spread rapidly, and the large number of patients made the already serious burden on the world society even worse.]

[This almost puts "Fire Moth" in a dilemma - should he "give up" these people?]
