Chapter 26: FAMAS's Choice
"Please come in."
The door to the ward was opened, and Yimer blinked helplessly at the three people inside. His hands and head were piled with various gifts. Behind him, a girl with a Chinese face poked her head out. He glanced at Mebius with some fear and said:
"Captain Mikael, Dr. Mebius, the commander invites you to come over..."
"Coming!"
The three of them were shocked.
Mebius calmly blocked the door of the ward, raised Danzhu's little face with his fingers, and asked incredulously: "Oh, I've been coveting you two sisters for a long time. How about it? Do you want to come to my laboratory to do it?" assistant?"
"Mei, Mei, Dr. Mebius, don't tease me..."
"Who's teasing you? I'm telling the truth! Ah, by the way, I sent a dispatch report to Famas last night. You sisters have such good qualifications. It's a pity to hang around with Erwin. It’s over…”
Danzhu: "..."
Behind her, Mikael and Ai Li looked at each other, and took advantage of Danzhu's blind spot to put a note into her hand.
Then he jumped out of bed like a normal person and glanced at Yimer who was carrying hundreds of gifts:
"Is your boy quite popular recently?"
"No, squad leader, you misunderstood. These are all for you. There are more than a hundred love letters alone..."
Alicia smiled and made a "Yeah!" gesture, which roughly meant "Imer, you did a good job!"
…………
Famas leaned back on the seat, raised his head at a 45-degree angle, and stared at the fluorescent lamp until he felt dizzy and his eyes were filled with red light, as if he was going blind.
Placed on the desk are the "Vostok-51 Investigation Report", the "Vostok Collapse Incident Investigation Report", and a file of Mikael. His birthplace is clearly written - Voss. Tok-51's Orphanage.
In fact, it is not necessary to even look at these files, because whether it is the investigation of Town 51 or the subsequent Vostok Collapse - that is, the first Collapse event, Hen was the first to witness it, and also So far the only witness who is still on active duty...
Famas closed his eyes, tears falling from the corners of his eyes.
Don't get me wrong, this doesn't mean he has any emotions, it's just that he stared at the light for too long and his eyes couldn't bear it.
He thought of Mebius' data analysis. Although the two people's ideas conflicted from time to time, Famas definitely recognized her ability.
When naming the Herrschers who were born from the collapse of Irkune City, Mebius insisted on using the two naming methods of "rank of appearance + power" in parallel, but she instead named the first Herrscher that humans faced. The former was named the Second Herrscher, and the collapse of Irkune City was named the Second Collapse...
Her explanation is: According to the established mathematical model, when the concentration of Honkai energy within a certain range is too high, due to its excessive mass, it must collapse inward, concentrating a large amount of Honkai energy into one or a few individuals. On the body, the energy reaction levels of Vostok Honkai and the second Honkai were not much different, but what caused the turmoil was only the large-scale lower Honkai beasts, which was contrary to common sense.
Famas closed his eyes and rested, tapping his index finger on the armrest of the seat, unintentionally reflecting the turmoil in his heart.
"If this is the case, this child must not be kept."
"Wait, why can't you stay?"
He suddenly opened his eyes, looking a little confused and struggling.
Mebius's former mantra rang in his ears over and over again: "What is the definition of human beings?"
This question got into Famas's mind and instantly became out of control.
It was as if his right brain was originally water and his left brain was originally flour, but when the shit stirrer came in, it instantly turned into paste.
"Who am I? I... No, I shouldn't think about this..."
"There is no problem with Mikael's performance after entering the Fire Chasing Moth. If nothing else is considered, he is completely a qualified warrior! Becoming a Herrscher is not something he can control. We...if the Herrscher can really retain human beings consciousness, then this should be a good thing, it means that we can use God’s apostles to fight against God…”
But at this moment, Vasak's words rang in his mind again:
"On the road against Honkai, the only ones we can trust are humans, pure humans."
"But what if this is a scam? What if the humanity shown by Mikael is all disguise, what if he is a Honkai spy who infiltrates the Fire Moth in order to cause greater damage? To say the least, even if Mikael You are on the side of humanity now, will he be contaminated by Honkai again?"
Famas showed a rare violent emotion and hit the head three times with all his strength.
After thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't help but slapped himself twice.
The first slap was on the left side of the face, but after thinking about it, it seemed unbalanced to only hit one side.
A slap from the right as well...
Feeling comfortable...
"Dong dong dong...Command, the people are here!"
Famas rubbed his reddish cheeks with his hands, wiped off the grease on his hands, and shouted: "Let Captain Mikael come in first."
Across a table, Famas and Mikael looked at each other.
To be precise, this is not the first time the two have met. Being in the same headquarters of Fire Chasing Moth, it is inevitable that there will be some intersections, such as meeting by chance in the tunnel, looking at each other for a long time in the cafeteria over the last piece of steak, or guessing the winner or loser over the last pit in the toilet, and the result is Famas. When I got into the pit, I found that there was no paper...
But none of this matters. Both of them tacitly treat this meeting as their first time.
For FAMAS, Mikael is a perfect subordinate. His Honkai can adapt very well, he is obedient, and he works hard. If other factors are not considered, he can completely replace Hen or Himiko in the future and become a trump card for the Fire Moth to fight Honkai.
And the problem lies here - this trump card was handed over by the enemy.
"The apostle of God uses the power obtained from God to rebel against God. Will He really allow such a thing to exist?"
For Mikael, FAMAS is a very competent commander in some aspects. He is calm and firm in his beliefs. He objects to Dr. Mobius, who has different ideas, but as long as it is what the doctor says, he will objectively think about it before deciding whether to adopt it or not.
The only problem is that he is a little cold-blooded at times, just like when he let the entire fifth team go to die in the face of the second Herrscher.
So for a while, no one spoke.
"Command." Mikael suddenly broke the deadlock.
"What's wrong?"
He looked at the boy in front of him, but he saw the vicissitudes and helplessness in his eyes that were not suitable for his age.
"Commander, I won't pretend anymore. I'm telling you the truth. I'm a Herrscher."
"?" Famas's hand trembled. He had been preparing for a long time, but he didn't expect the boy to tell the truth in such a frank manner.
"Commander, I don't know why you have any reason to believe me - but if you are willing to believe me once, at least now, I can still fight for humanity."
Famas opened his mouth. Such a sincere attitude was a bit shocking for him who was used to intrigue.
"Maybe... I can also try to be sincere?" He felt a little absurd.
He hurriedly lowered his head to cover up his gaffe, and at the same time began to weigh the pros and cons in his mind...
In fact, there is nothing to weigh. He believes that he is not a crazy person, at least not now.
Based on Mikael's current performance and attitude, the most vicious method Famas had thought of before was to give him a shot of special serum and then confine him.
And now, he is more inclined to keep this card.
But... he probably can't protect Mikael for much longer...
He suddenly sneered twice, "You passed... at least you passed with me... but if someone catches you with solid evidence, I can't protect you."
Mikael looked at FAMAS in surprise. In the past ten minutes, he had already thought of eleven ways to escape in his mind, and Ellie should have made other preparations according to the note he gave...
I didn't expect it to end like this?
Just like this?
No...
Mikael suddenly realized that FAMAS was using him as bait and handing him to a suspected Herrscher.
If he really belonged to Honkai, he could kill the leader of the Fire Moth effortlessly here, and then make a big fuss inside the unprepared Fire Moth...
Thinking of this, his eyes were attracted by the documents on FAMAS's desk again - it was his file since he joined the Fire Moth.
It recorded in detail his every move after joining the company, which became his plus points.
All these accumulated together, only then did FAMAS have a skeptical attitude towards him.
Mikael nodded silently.
But FAMAS laughed again, "You know, if you showed a little malice and wanted to attack me just now, what would greet you?"
Mikael shook his head in confusion.
FAMAS took out a tube of serum from his pocket and said proudly: "This is the latest achievement of the medical department. It can be used to treat patients with Honkai disease. Of course, this also means that it can instantly clear the Honkai energy in a person's body. For some special beings, at least they can be suppressed for a long time..."
Mikael was scared for a while. He thought that this kind of serum was only available in the new era... But that's not right. Since this serum has been born, how can the former civilization still face a serious Honkai disease crisis?
Mikael suppressed his doubts and seemed to have thought of something. He asked softly, "Then... Captain Himiko..."
"Well, she should be back to the base soon..."
"Remember to call Dr. Mobius in when you go out. No, let her come in ten minutes later."
After saying this, Mikael just closed the door of the office.
And FAMAS also fell on the back of the chair as if he was exhausted. He quickly untied his tie. When his palm touched his forehead, it was full of cold sweat.
But what he didn't know was that the moment Mikael stood up, the simulated Second Herrscher core in his hand disappeared quietly.
"I can only say that it feels bad to have this kind of fate in the hands of others..."
The state of the last two chapters is not quite right. In fact, the character design of FAMAS is based on the third generation of Hokage, but I feel that I wrote it too messy and failed to establish his image. It's also very watery...
In short, spray lightly, there are not enough tissues...
