Time in a collapsing world

The Eighth Herrscher is hiding again, but the situation still has not improved, but is getting worse. Although his spiritual pollution will not have much impact on the Fire Chasing Moth, which is now almost completely given [Commandments] by Aponia, But that's not the case for ordinary people outside.

According to the statistics of Fire Chasing Moth members, at least dozens of cities have fallen into the same situation as before Fire Chasing Moth, and they are spread all over the world. There are humans affected by the Eighth Herrscher in every continent.

It can be seen that the scope of the Eighth Herrscher's power is greater than imagined.

In order to find out the traces of the Eighth Herrscher and to clarify various doubts about the last attack, Mei has held countless meetings in recent days to discuss issues in this area. As a result, the dark circles under her eyes are getting worse. It's strong, and so is her mental state. Mei, who doesn't drink coffee often, has to drink several cups of coffee every day. Only in this way can she maintain her daily work status.

Kevin also discovered this and tried to persuade her more than once, but it was obviously useless. After all, it was a meeting about important work, and Mei would not care about such a trivial matter as her health at this time.

But fortunately, the results of the discussion were quickly reached.

Memetic pollution, this is the way the Eighth Herrscher affects the members of the Fire Chaser. He pollutes the word [Fire Chaser Moth] itself, so he can in a recent attack attack all members of the Fire Chaser. Fire Moth's men attack.

This was a doubt that Mei figured out after many meetings. As for how to find the location of the Eighth Herrscher, there was not much progress. She had to use the old method, dispatch enough manpower, and use instruments to search the outside world. , unlike the last time, this time they had enough troops to conduct a carpet-like search of an area in a short period of time.

However, the scope of the search this time has become wider than before. If you want to find the Eighth Herrscher, this method will only take more time than before.

and so……

"Su, the unfinished task last time...please continue it this time."

Mei looked at the man with closed eyes sitting on the sofa opposite her. This was her former classmate and friend, and now he had another identity, that is, her subordinate.

"can."

Su did not refuse. This was his mission in the first place, and Su had no intention of giving up halfway. Last time, because certain conditions were not met, Su's mission was temporarily shelved. However, as the Eighth Herrscher's influence on the world increased, Su did not refuse. The bigger he gets, the more dreams he creates. Presumably his mission will be carried out soon, right?

But, it's still a little weird, being commanded like this by a former classmate.

No one can imagine how he felt when he first learned that Mei was the current leader of the Fire Chaser.

"Mei, um...you have more dark circles under your eyes."

Su wanted to say hello after a long absence, but after thinking for a long time, he still only said this sentence.

"...You have become a lot fairer."

Fortunately, Mei didn't care too much about this aspect, so she just responded like this after being speechless for a while.

"This should be an effect after surgery."

Su touched his face, then slid his fingers up and touched his eyes. For some reason, after the super-transformation surgery, his eyes that were reluctant to open were now completely closed, but in this state He could still see the outside world, and he could "see" it more clearly.

For example, Mei is now a little fatter than before?

Forget it, let’s not talk about it anymore.

"Then you are quite lucky to get such a positive effect." Mei smiled.

"Yeah, not bad."

"Is it just 'okay'? You wouldn't feel out of place even if you put on girl's clothes."

"..."

Su thought of some bad memories at school and quickly skipped the topic, "By the way, where is Kevin? He didn't actually stay with you?"

"He's a little sulky, and he's venting his emotions on the Honkaimon in the area where the Honkai Impact occurred..."

Mei thought of Kevin's expressionless face and said helplessly.

"Is that why you often stay up late?"

Su quickly guessed the reason.

"Correct."

Mei rubbed her temples, "He is getting stronger and stronger."

"But it's still not as strong as you."

Otherwise, Kevin would have forced you to the bed to rest.

"I have no choice but to solve the problem of the Eighth Herrscher."

"I know, this is the helplessness of the adult world, right?" Su expressed understanding.

"Haha...you are saying this as if Kevin is not an adult."

"To a certain extent, he has indeed not reached the standard of an adult. Kevin is still too dependent on you now." Su said bluntly.

"...That's all."

Mei also understood that Kevin trusted her unconditionally, and no matter what decision she made, he would support her, as if she was his direction beacon.

"Yes, that's the only thing that makes him less like an adult."

"He will one day grow up and be able to handle any trouble on his own."

"I hope so..."

……

At the same time, Kevin, who was cleaning up the Honkaimon outside, suddenly sneezed, causing Li and Alicia to look over.

"As a [Controller of Ice], you have caught a cold? It seems that your practice has not reached your peak yet... A truly strong person will not be counterattacked by his own power."

Li joked with a smile.

"...What is [Ice Controller]?"

Kevin asked doubtfully as he touched his nose and felt no urge to sneeze again.

"This is the nickname Kosmo gave you in private, but Li accidentally heard it~?"

Alicia raised her hand and answered Kevin's question.

"..."

Kevin Pinpin’s nickname is inexplicably nice?

"What about yours? Kosma wouldn't just give me a nickname."

"Forehead……"

Li and Alicia looked at each other.

"I am [Crystal Controller] oh~?"

Alicia was the first to say.

"Destobia is the [Controller of Thoughts], Hen is the [Controller of Armor], Kosmo himself...he calls himself the [Demon King of Senluo]."

Li is supplementing.

"...Why is only Kosmo's own title so different?" Kevin suddenly felt that his nickname was not so cool, "Are there others?"

"The others... Kosmo hasn't woken up yet, or he doesn't dare to wake them up yet."

"...and yours."

"Cough cough..."

Li coughed a few times and pretended not to hear.

"He is the [Ball Controller], right~?"

Alicia told Kevin the answer with a smile.

"...so low."

"I know...but at least don't say it!"
