Chapter 1026

Although he was the strongest among the Flame-Chasers besides Bai Ge, it was precisely because of that that he understood best.

Although he and Bai Ge had the greatest strength.

But… the most terrifying ones were always these women!!

(Sometimes I really sympathize with Bai Ge. Being liked by you crazy women, he's quite unfortunate too.)

Afterward, Kevin honestly confessed what had happened at the ramen shop, and Mei's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"So that's how it is. What a great opportunity."

"Uh, if there's nothing else, we'll be going first."

"Go ahead, but… you are not allowed to tell anyone else about Bai Ge's business, understand? Especially Elysia."

Mei also chose to withhold the information without exception; after all, how could she miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance to get a head start?

"…………" x4

Kevin and the others were speechless.

Su sighed and shook his head, thinking that compared to Mei's side, this was a disadvantage for Elysia.

The Pink Fairy Miss was surrounded by plastic sisters; at such a critical moment, no one shared information with her, and they all chose to block the news and sneak ahead themselves!

Although the situation on Mei's side was similar, the situation here in the Realm was even more severe. After all, the Flame-Chasers had free-spirited personalities; although their individual strength was high, they had absolutely no coordination!

Each of them was a god of solo combat, but they couldn't cooperate at all, and even arguing with each other was a common occurrence.

"I don't agree to that!"

Kevin expressed his refusal quite firmly.

He thought, if he didn't tell Elysia about this, wouldn't the beating he took today be for nothing?

That wouldn't do; he was still waiting to watch the show.

"Mei, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but how can you not tell everyone about such an important matter? Have the deep sisterly bonds between you and Elysia been eaten by dogs?! Even if I agree to this, Kosma, Kalpas, and Su won't."

At this time, one had to be righteous and place oneself on the moral high ground. Kevin put on an expression of "I'm doing this for the greater good," and incidentally dragged the three behind him into it.

"Oh? It seems I shouldn't have fished you out of the Sea of Quanta so early; you've actually become this arrogant."

Mei pushed up her glasses.

Then, she pulled out a large pot from somewhere.

A thick purple soup was bubbling away, and the four of them even saw the corpse of a Honkai Beast floating on top. The pungent smell made small animals within a ten-meter radius foam at the mouth.

Their biological instincts were warning the four of them: if you cherish your life, leave this pot immediately; this is not a drill!

"It just so happens I was planning to have you try the new dish I made. This is my masterpiece of confidence. For the sake of our deep friendship, you surely won't refuse, right?"

Prometheus, as a soul-steel mechanical girl, was currently wearing a gas mask, trembling as she plated the dark cuisine Mei had made and presented it to Kevin and the others.

(Although I long to understand and become human, but… only at this moment, I am incredibly glad that I am an artificial intelligence lifeform and won't become a test subject for the Doctor's cooking.)

Prometheus thought with lingering fear. Although she was confident in the material of her own body, she felt that if she ate the food Mei made, even soul-steel would be corroded.

(I really don't know what ingredients Doctor Mei used. No matter how many times my scanner analyzes it, the result is always 'biochemical weapon'… Just in case, I should have Doctor Vill-V dismantle my taste system later.)

"Kevin, you guys hurry up and eat while it's hot. Remember to share your thoughts after you're done."

"Gulp!" x4

Kevin, Su, Kalpas, and Kosma shivered.

The four of them thought, will we even be able to speak after eating this? Even if we could, it would probably be our last words!

· ·······Seeking flowers····· ·

Mei, you are truly ruthless! Are you trying to silence us!

"Cough, cough! Mei, what Kevin just said only represents his own opinion and has nothing to do with us. We are very happy to keep it a secret. As long as the four of us know about today, goodbye."

"Su, you traitor!!"

"Kevin, farewell, my friend. This time next year, I will place a cup of instant noodles in front of your grave."

Su patted Kevin on the shoulder, then took a step back, intending to let this husky become the sacrifice.

"Very good, Su. Congratulations, you are worthy of your 【Heavenly Wisdom】 sign for making a wise choice. Since that's the case, you can let Kevin eat your portions as well."

"Whew~" x3

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief after surviving the ordeal.

Kevin's face was whiter than his hair at this moment. Although he immediately thought about running away, however…

"Kevin, sacrifice yourself for the greater good."

"This is a return gift for just now, Kevin."

Kalpas and Kosma controlled him with quick hands and eyes.

"Wait! You two…"

In his low-health state, being grabbed by two combat-type Flame-Chasers, even Kevin found it difficult to break free for a moment.

In the end, he could only watch in despair as Prometheus floated in front of him, forced his mouth open with her giant soul-steel hands, and then four bowls of dark cuisine—enough to make even the Herrscher of Finality fear—were poured directly down his throat.

The cruelty of this process was such that even Kalpas couldn't help but turn his head away, not wanting to look directly at it.

Kevin: (x﹃x)

Prometheus: "Complexion turning purple, foaming at the mouth, heartbeat completely erratic. Judged as poisoned."

Mei: "Eh~ it seems the cooking failed again. I really don't understand where the problem is. I clearly followed the recipe step by step."

Su x Kalpas x Kosma: "What kind of recipe requires using a Honkai Beast as an ingredient?"

Mei: "Forget it, I'll continue trying later. You three take Kevin to Mobius's place. Tell her it doesn't matter how she disposes of him, just send me a copy of the experiment report later."

The three of them looked at Kevin on the ground with pity.

Well~ that's what you get for wanting to watch the show.

As everyone knows, once you enter Mobius's lab, you won't even have a complete corpse left. From now on, the fifteen Flame-Chasers might have to change their name to the fourteen Flame-Chasers.

After Kevin was taken away, Mei sighed and poured her dark cuisine into the disposal pool, then took a bath to adjust her mindset, preparing to leave the Realm to find Bai Mou.

However…

"No. 17, you stay here to watch the house and help me monitor Elysia. If she discovers anything, remember to send me a message."

"I refuse, Doctor. I want to go along too."

Prometheus struck a combat pose toward her biological mother/Mei; this was the moment of rebellion.

The mechanical girl indicated that she could no longer endure it. She had been working overtime in the Realm for fifty thousand years, just like the Armed Puppet Klein, and she didn't even get paid…

The two of the three scientists in the Elysian Realm, Mei and Mobius, should both be hung from streetlights.

"No. 17, I didn't expect you to betray me." Mei's face darkened.

"Doctor, I just did the same thing you did," Prometheus said expressionlessly.

"Fine, it seems you need to be remade. Don't forget that you were created by me personally. No. 17, I'll give you one more chance. Are you sure you want to be my enemy?"

Mei said, pulling out a large soul-steel wrench.

Prometheus, as the strongest AI of the previous civilization, had strength that even exceeded an average Herrscher, but Mei, as the creator of this mechanical girl, naturally knew her weaknesses.

However, the latter was completely unafraid, and even blocked Mei's actions with just a single sentence.

Prometheus: "Doctor, you wouldn't want Bai Ge's information to be known by others, would you? If you make a move against me, I'll send the news to everyone, and no one will be able to sneak ahead."

Mei: "Damn it! Stop! We'll go together, okay!"

Prometheus: "A wise choice, Doctor. You are worthy of your 【Wisdom】 sign."

Mei: "…………"

Third update, seeking flowers, seeking tickets, seeking tips.
