Chapter 11 Soul Steel and Warriors

"You...what nonsense are you talking about!"

Aili forced out an ugly smile and pulled her hand back.

"Maybe...maybe you've been under too much pressure recently? Don't worry, there won't be another Herrscher in the short term. Let's take this opportunity to take a break? Captain Himiko still owes us two tickets for Eden's concert! Don't you like Eden very much? Let's go together! Alicia will always be with you! How about it!"

Alicia's voice was like an invisible hand, with warm fingertips pressing on Mikael's frowning brows, and just the right amount of force to slowly relax it.

Mikael took a light breath, picked up the goblet on the table, and drank it in one gulp, as if he wanted to ease his previous loss of composure.

"Um! Cough cough cough!"

The spicy and burning sensation grew from the tip of the tongue, and quickly spread along the esophagus, straight into the lungs.

"Ailishiya, when did you pour the wine!"

"Just now! Didn't you see it? Um... Isn't it said that drinking can relieve sadness when you are sad? Why doesn't it seem to work for you, Mikael!"

"Maybe it's because... I don't like drinking?" Mikael said with his head tilted.

"Hey! Have you drunk before? Come on! Tell the truth! When did it happen!" Ai Li asked with a smile.

Mikael smiled and shook his head, without answering.

He stretched out his index finger and gently tapped the rim of the goblet. A light blue light flashed, and the goblet was filled with wine again.

Alishiya glanced at it at first and didn't care much.

Three seconds later, she picked up the cup with a suspicious look and sniffed it, and her delicate facial features were instantly twisted into a knot.

But she tilted her head and thought about it, and took a sip with a little hesitation.

"Cough cough cough!"

Mikael took the wine glass from Ai Li's hand and drank it all.

"Huh! Fortunately, I only drank a small sip... Hey! What's wrong with you... Don't you like to drink?"

"Drinking or not drinking has nothing to do with liking or not liking."

Ellie wrinkled her nose, obviously dissatisfied with Mikael's explanation.

But she soon became happy again.

"It seems that you are getting more and more proficient in mastering the power of the Herrscher. The structure of wine requires the design of knowledge related to microorganisms, which is much more difficult than mechas!"

"Alicia..."

"Hmm?"

"Did you forget my arm..."

"No! But in the end, people always know more about their own bodies, but not necessarily about other creatures."

As Alicia said, she puffed up her cheeks angrily, and Mikael couldn't help poking her with her index finger.

For a moment, both of them were a little dazed, as if they had returned to the day six years ago when Mother Ceria was serving hot chicken soup...

"Ah!"

Mikael covered his index finger in his palm and rubbed it gently.

Looking down, there was a row of neat teeth marks on the index finger.

Mikael raised his head, and Alicia was tilting her head, her arm resting on the back of the chair, looking at him with a smile on her lips.

So he also laughed.

"Gurgle..."

Alicia's smile gradually widened, and she looked at Mikael's hand covering her stomach.

"Gurgle..."

The next moment, her stomach also responded enthusiastically.

"Let's go, get something to eat."

The moment he stood up from his seat, Mikael felt that he seemed to have forgotten something.

But it was difficult to remember for a while.

At this time, Himiko, who was forgotten by the two, had come to FAMAS's office.

As expected, Dr. Mebius on the sofa was biting his fingers, changing his sitting position from time to time, looking very impatient.

In addition, there was a fourth person in the room. He was covered in a black robe and wore a mask that looked like a Honkai beast on his face. It was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman. Only three very small numbers were written on the collar badge: 007, which to some extent indicated his identity.

Himiko only glanced at him and smelled the breath of danger, and her whole body became stiff because of vigilance.

"Captain Himiko, sit down."

"The reason why I invited you here this time is also because of Captain Himiko's report... Captain Himiko, are you sure that you killed a tank-level Honkai beast about ten meters high with a big sword alone? Because your camera was damaged at that time, the headquarters cannot confirm this record."

"I'm sure."

Himiko replied in a deep voice.

When submitting the battle report, she expected this moment.

The office fell into silence instantly.

Famas lit a cigarette as if no one was around and took a few puffs.

"Dr. Mobius, what do you think?"

"Haha, look with your feet..." she whispered mockingly.

"Dr. Mobius?"

"It's not hard to imagine that this is a very normal phenomenon. The reason why humans developed gunpowder weapons and electromagnetic weapons is because the strength of the human body has its limits and is not enough to support cold weapons with greater destructive power. These weapons are equivalent to raising the lower limit of a human's combat effectiveness, allowing an ordinary person to have standard combat effectiveness after simple training."

Mobius looked at Himiko with a smile, "But Captain Himiko is another special case. Because her Honkai energy adaptability is very high, she can use a small amount of Honkai energy to fight intentionally or unintentionally, which makes her physical fitness far higher than that of 'ordinary people' in a short period of time. In this case, hot weapons will limit her combat effectiveness, and cold weapons are more suitable."

Famas coughed twice, put out the cigarette butt, and silently complained: "Dr. Mebius, after all, you still want to restart the Soul Steel Project..."

The corners of Mebius' lips raised slightly, "I don't understand what's wrong with the Soul Steel Project except that it's more expensive."

Famas narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Mebius. He was not surprised that Mebius would admit so frankly. But the more this happens, the more he feels that Mebius is brewing an even more amazing plan - the Soul Steel Plan. As Mebius said, it has no shortcomings except that it is expensive, and it will not bring anything. risk.

This is so uncharacteristic of Mebius.

"It's a pity. It would be great if I could have an informant in Mebius's laboratory..."

But on the surface, he showed a helpless expression.

"Dr. Mebius, I want to remind you that the cost of soul steel cannot be described as expensive. According to your budget, the cost of one gram of soul steel is even enough to rebuild the fifth team... Captain Himiko, please Forgive me for saying that.”

"Besides, how many warriors like Himihu can be found by the Fire Moth? Can they really outperform an entire squad on the battlefield?"

Mebius chuckled twice and handed a list to Famas.

"It's indeed single digits, but this is just the result of my rough investigation. How about Famas, the Soul Steel Project plus...well, the Honkai Impact Warrior Project? This is the most effective way for humans to fight against Honkai Impact."

Famas glanced suspiciously, and right behind Himiko's name were Hen and the two surviving members of the fifth team.

The one below did not have a name, only her appearance was recorded: a woman with long pink hair who seemed to be from the Far East.

The sixth and last name was specially written in green ink——

Mebius.

Famas threw the list to the ground.

Mebius seemed to have expected this situation. She just sneered and said, "What? You came here just to chat with Himihu? In fact, you know in your heart that this is the best plan."

She picked up the list on the floor and left the office talking to herself.

"Forget it, let's all disperse."

Long after Mebius left, Famas was still slumped in his chair.

"If Mebius' plan is just like this... then that's fine..."

He looked at the masked man who had not yet left.

"Poison Chrysalis No. 007, give Vasak two orders for me."

"First, focus on the survivors of Team 5."

"Second... forget it, there is no second item for now."

"clear."

Under the heavy mask, a clear and cold female voice came.

When there was no one in sight, Famas turned around and opened the computer and created a new encrypted document:

[Honkai warrior plan:

Should be used in conjunction with Project Soulsteel.

List of known executables:

mark

Himiko

Mikael

Alicia

Poison Chrysalis No. 007

Plan evaluation: The level of danger is extremely high! There is no guarantee that the warriors who use Honkai energy for a long time are on the side of humans or are being bewitched by Honkai energy. Moreover, the human body's utilization rate of Honkai energy is extremely low, and it seems difficult to exert the desired effect.

Summary: There is potential for execution. If the situation continues to deteriorate, or a breakthrough is made in technology, and the Honkai energy utilization rate increases, execution can be considered. At present... as for the few warriors who have mastered the use of Honkai... let's just let it go...]

Famas lit another cigarette, and the office was once again shrouded in mist.

"As expected, Mebius and I don't get along very well..." He said to himself, half mockingly and half jokingly.

Mebius was right. The reason why he asked Himiko to confirm the situation was because he wanted to restart the Soul Steel Project and create warriors like her who could use Honkai energy.

In the end, it was reduced to opposing for the sake of opposing...

So he selected the document and prepared to send it to Mebius' mailbox through the intranet, but after thinking about it, he changed it to scheduled sending in the morning.

As if remembering something, Famas sent another letter to Dr. Spacey: "Please be sure to give a copy of the serum to relieve the symptoms of Honkai Disease that was mentioned the other day to Himiko, the captain of the fifth team."

Forgot to set the time. .
