Chapter 68: You betrayed humanity!
"Before that, there may be one more thing you need to solve, Ai Yue." Sakura, who was usually taciturn, suddenly spoke up, her expression a little subtle, "Um, Kalpas...he's gone crazy."
As one of the few people who have engaged in physical combat with Kalpas, Sakura has a very good understanding of Kalpas's strength. She knows very well that although this seemingly weird man has not been transformed, he has power in his body that is no less than that of a fusion warrior.
Moreover, the opponent seemed to have a special, strange ability. The more serious the injury, the stronger the power he could release. Combined with the opponent's strong vitality that would not die even if his heart was injured, the strength that Kalpas could burst out would even rank among the best among the fusion warriors.
However, such a person, due to his character flaws, cannot become a reliable comrade who can be trusted and cooperated with, which makes Sakura feel regretful.
Fortunately, the other party at least trusted Ai Yue and obeyed his orders, otherwise Sakura would not even be able to live in the same room with him peacefully.
So when Ai Yue asked Sakura to take Kalpas to the site of the Great Eruption, Sakura was a little hesitant. After all, she had seen Kalpas go crazy, and it was hard to be sure whether he could still remain rational in such a situation.
Fortunately, Ai Yue's order for Kalpas was to act alone, and the other party had no intention of fighting alongside Sakura and the others. The moment the plane landed and the cabin door opened, the man named Kalpas disappeared in the sea of Honkai beasts like a wild beast out of a cage.
Only from the location of the constantly exploding remains of the Honkai beast could one vaguely guess the whereabouts of the other party.
"Oh, I almost forgot about it." Ai Yue just remembered something at this time. He lowered his head and looked at his phone. "You are in good condition. It seems that the new equipment is effective. Aponia, please, I will let Hua assist you."
"I understand." Aponia nodded, and couldn't help but look at Ai Yue, "I will be back soon... Don't be impulsive."
She hesitated for a long time, but finally did not say the word "please".
Ai Yue just smiled and waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to worry.
"So what do you want to say?" Kevin, who was sitting alone at the back of the cabin, waited until Aponia left before speaking, "How is the Fire Moth headquarters? Is Mei okay?"
"Everything is fine." Ai Yue smiled, "Of course, she may be a little busy now, but that's all."
"As for what I need you to do," Ai Yue paused here, and then said, "I need you to accuse me of illegally seizing the command of the Fusion Warrior Squadron and forcing you to go to the battlefield to fight against the Honkai Beast"
As soon as these words came out, everyone except Mobius looked at Ai Yue in astonishment.
"Are you going to take the blame?" Ato was a seasoned veteran and quickly reacted, "Wait, was there something wrong with the previous silence at the headquarters?"
"No, we can't do this." Although Kevin still couldn't fully understand what happened, he still shook his head. "No matter what happened, the responsibility can't be borne by one person. What's more, this matter was originally requested by us. It has nothing to do with you."
Kosma and Dystopia obviously did not approve of Ai Yue's arrangement. Only Sakura asked, "Do we need to use this method to trigger other things?"
As a former member of the "Poison Pupa", she obviously knows more about some dirty tricks than others.
"That's about right." Ai Yue said vaguely, "In short, you don't have to worry. By doing this, you are actually helping me."
"In that case, I will be the one making the accusation." Sakura nodded. "If you need anything else, please feel free to ask."
As she spoke, she had already placed her hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist—the second sword that she had never used in the battle against the Honkai beasts.
"In that case, it seems that there is no point in us saying anything." Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Kevin couldn't help but sigh, "Dr. Ai Yue, I know that your wisdom may not be something I can understand, and there may be some things that you cannot communicate with us now, but please still trust us."
He stood up and said seriously: "As long as you always stand on the side of mankind, we are willing to help you."
"That's pretty serious. You know to add a prefix." Ai Yue couldn't help laughing. "Don't be so serious. It's actually not a big deal."
He looked out the window. "It's just a matter of solving a problem that has been bothering us for a long time."
Kosma blinked, a little concerned about Ai Yue's choice of words.
'us?'
Could it be that what he wants to solve is actually the problem of the Fire Moth?
After spending quite a while, the plane finally landed at the airport of the Fire Moth headquarters.
However, no one was in a hurry to go down, but instead looked outside with frowns.
The originally empty airport is now surrounded by countless soldiers. They are neat and orderly, well-equipped, and have the safety on their weapons. Even through a layer of glass, one can still feel the murderous aura and chill coming towards them.
These are elite warriors who have experienced many battles and should have been involved in the war against Honkai. However, they are now facing their own people who have just come down from the battlefield with such a defensive attitude. It is really disheartening.
"Don't be nervous, it's probably not targeting you." Looking at the gloomy faces of the members of the Fusion Warrior Team, Ai Yue stood up and took the initiative to open the hatch, "These people are probably here to find me."
Sure enough, when Ai Yue appeared outside the cabin, all the soldiers pointed their weapons at him in unison.
"Suspect Ai Yue, I order you to immediately hand over all your equipment and accept the detention and interrogation of the Fire Moth!" A voice came from behind the soldiers, but they could not see where the speaker was. "Don't even think about resisting. You are committing a crime against humanity!"
"Are you crazy?!" Hearing this, Kosma couldn't help but ask, "'Crimes against humanity', isn't that a crime against humanity?"
Everyone understands what such a crime means. In this era, in the Fire Moth, "crimes against humanity" is almost equivalent to "collusion with Honkai". Even the prisoners in the deepest places do not have such a crime.
But now, it fell on Ai Yue's head—the other party had just completed the plan to kill the Eighth Herrscher!
How ironic.
Kosma couldn't help but shiver. It was not because he was afraid of the viciousness of the Fire Moth's top leaders, but because the temperature in the cabin had dropped to a level that made the fusion warriors feel uncomfortable.
Kevin, the white-haired warrior remained silent, but the coldness spreading from his body showed his attitude.
"Don't move. Anything you do at this time will only cause trouble." Mobius, who had been silent, finally spoke up. "You don't think Ai Yue didn't expect this, do you?"
At this moment, Ai Yue turned around at the right time and made a "silence" gesture to them.
Then he faced the numerous gunshots and walked forward very leisurely.
