Chapter 136 Meeting and Trial
After finally pulling Pado up from the ground, Mikael returned to the top seat of the long table and looked at the eight people with different personalities in front of him... No, seven, Ling was not a member of the organization, but a relative.
No, there were actually eight. Alicia dialed Eden's phone and switched to hands-free mode - although Eden was successfully deceived by Ally and willingly took out the money, she was a big star after all. I couldn't spare the time to be there in person, so I had to participate in this way.
"Ahem!"
Mikael cleared his throat, arousing everyone's attention, and then started the first conference since the establishment of Anti-Entropy.
"I won't say much else. The main purpose of bringing everyone together this time is to let all the core members of Anti-Entropy get to know each other. This is the first thing."
"Ah...so are there any other peripheral personnel besides us?"
Alicia blinked narrowly.
"Ahem! Well...well, no."
He lightly stepped on Ellie's foot, signaling her not to interrupt, and to redirect the conversation to the right track.
"The second thing is that many of you still don't know enough about Honkai and me, so I need to do some popular science."
"Then let's start by introducing ourselves!"
Mikael turned his attention to Alicia. Obviously, he didn't want to introduce himself, or in other words, his own part was actually better left to the second part.
"Hi! My name is Alicia. As you can see, I am a lovely girl who is as gorgeous as a flower! In the coming days, please take care of me... Oh, no, remember to take care of Mi too. Kyle, otherwise he will... ow!"
Mikael released his hand covering Ellie's mouth and said, "Okay, there was a little problem just now, so let me introduce each other to you."
He skipped Alicia and pointed at the green-haired woman:
"Dr. Mebius, I believe everyone has heard of it more or less. She is currently responsible for the biological research work of our organization. As for the specific content, it is... Mebius? Mebius?"
"Hmm... Hululu... Hmm... Hululu..."
"...Next this is Velvet, the designer and manufacturer of this golden courtyard. To be precise, this has been her territory from the beginning. When she declared war on the entire Fire Chaser alone, I was in the basement here. Caught her. Well, she knows everything, so if you need anything, you can go to her. If she doesn’t know how, let her learn now!”
"..."
"This is Padofelis. If you are missing something important, just ask her to help find it..."
"Hey! Boss Mikael! How could you do this..."
"But you have to prepare the reward, canned food, biscuits, and preferably something shiny. She will accept everything she comes."
"Hey, hey! That's right! That's right! We always advocate fair trade!"
"Stop saying a few words, Pado..."
"..."
"This is Hua. Her specialty is China's ancient martial arts... Well... you should pay more attention when eating. Don't let her eat the steamed buns alone."
Hua held her head with her left hand and raised her head blankly when she heard someone calling her.
"Crack!"
Inadvertently, the pen spinning in her hand fell on the table, and she took it back embarrassedly.
"This is Qianjie. He is shy, so he usually doesn't speak. Of course, even if he speaks, he often doesn't express what he means. So Aili and I wrote a manual to help you better understand what he wants to express. meaning.”
Hua glanced at the two manuals in front of him. One was "From Roll to Roll - What Qianjie Wants to Express", signed: The Herrscher of Weakness.
The other copy is "One Hundred Questions on the Mask of Thousand Tribulations: From Beginner to Master", signed: A girl as gorgeous as flying flowers.
"However, given that I have been with Qianjie for a longer time, I personally think that the content I wrote is more valuable as a reference, and in Ellie's book, many things are completely contrary to the truth... so I strongly recommend that you buy it. This is mine."
"Wait! Buy?"
Velvet tilted her head. She roughly opened the manual, only to find that except for the title page... it was all white paper.
"Well, yes, the price of a manual is: one day of hygiene duty."
Mikael smiled as if his plot was successful.
"So, Alicia, don't you have anything to refute?"
"Huh? I always use candies to Phyllis to do things like cleaning, so it doesn't matter!"
"...So what reward did you give her?" Mikael stepped forward and asked softly.
"Five candy apples at a time."
"...Phyllis..."
"What's wrong, Boss Mikael?"
"If you want to eat candy from now on, just come to me directly. Help me clean once and I'll give you ten candies!"
"..."
"And this one," Mikael pointed to the mobile phone on Ellie's desk.
"Hey, hey, hey! Sister Eden, are you still there?"
"Ah... of course I'm here. You guys... are more energetic than I thought. You are indeed Ellie's friends."
"..." Mikael felt that something was not good, and it seemed to have left a strange impression on Eden.
"Ahem! Sister Eden is our organization's financial backer, dad...mom! It was precisely because of her generosity that Velvet initially completed the key to the second god before the fourth Honkai Impact. Production, let us thank Sister Eden with a round of applause!”
Before everyone applauded, Mikael quickly pressed the button on the screen of his mobile phone, and a pre-recorded applause resounded throughout the conference room.
"Pa pa pa pa pa pa..."
"Okay, okay, it seems that everyone is very enthusiastic... Stop, stop, hey, why are you still applauding... Oh... Sister Eden, look, everyone is so enthusiastic!"
"..."
"Okay, that's all for the self-introduction... Uh, wait, sorry Ying, I almost missed you again..."
…………
"So, Dr. Mei, do you still think that Kevin is more important between the Herrscher Core and Kevin?"
"Yes, I still think so now."
The judge exhaled lightly and continued to ask:
"Are you sure your judgment is not based on personal feelings? After all, we all know that your relationship with Kevin is not ordinary."
"I admit this point , a large part of the reason why I chose Kevin without hesitation was because of personal feelings. But I need to point out one thing: even from a purely rational point of view, I still think Kevin is more important than the Herrscher Core. "
"Oh? Then please show your rational analysis and comparison."
This time it was Mei's turn to breathe a sigh of relief. She glanced at Lezren, who was sitting in the audience, and raised her lips slightly:
"Ah... Well, I have sorted out the relevant information for the Chief of Staff."
This was just an internal military court. There were not many people present, but each of them was above the level of squad leader. As Mei's voice fell, everyone's eyes were focused on Lezren.
Lezren's face was a little stiff.
"What a good trick..."
In his eyes, Mei's tricks were still too naive, so he didn't need to think to understand: she was eliminating the reputation brought to her by the fourth collapse.
As we all know, the armed forces of the Fire Moth, especially the Rapid Response Team, are not interested in Lezren. Of course, they are not interested in Vashak either, but considering Vashak's background, they are more inclined to the latter.
But this balance was destroyed in the fourth collapse.
Vashak's poor performance lost the army's morale, but it was Mei who stood up and won their favor.
But Mei now indirectly rejected this favor by showing her possible close relationship with Lezren. Why?
Sure enough, no one is a fool...
According to Lezren's plan, he will push Mei to gradually replace Vashak's position, and as a beneficiary, Mei should accept it happily - he is confident that no one can stay rational under such temptation.
But Mei can.
"When I replace Vashak, but I don't have his connections and background, and I don't have the private armed forces like the poisonous pupa, then I will be your puppet, right? Lezren..."
However, the so-called "information" is really true.
"Mobius, you really left me a great gift..."
Then let her go, it's worth it.
"Indeed, I can prove this, but the information involves some confidential information, please allow me not to publish it here."
Lezren stood up, stroked his chest, and explained sincerely.
The judges were all Lezren's subordinates, and seeing this, they stopped entangled and moved on to the next topic.
"Dr. Mei, you actually caused the death of 387 fighters and their pilots in the battle command, as well as the Fire Chaser No. 3..."
"Ahem!" Lezren coughed heavily twice, he turned around and faced Himiko, who was still wrapped in a bandage on his head:
"Captain Himiko, on this point, I think your opinion as the person involved is the most important: Do you think there is a problem with Dr. Mei's arrangement at the time?"
"Although... hum... I personally think that Dr. Mei made the most correct judgment and arrangement at the time."
"Yes, I think so too." Hen stood up.
Karabis didn't want to talk, but was pulled up by his own sister:
"We think so too."
Lezren spread his hands, seemingly hinting at the judge, but Mei also felt his subtext:
"Look, you want to reject their goodwill, but you underestimate yourself."
I want a double narrative, otherwise it will be too abrupt for Mei's progress, but it's not very good. Is there any reader who can teach me...
