"It's over, Lieutenant. If possible, can I give you a hug? I hope you agree."

"Um."

Under the moonlight, the two people who had untied their knots hugged each other tightly under the moonlight, confiding to each other their feelings after not seeing each other for a long time.

Rin left silently, leaving time for Shizuru and Mei to be alone, allowing their grudges to slowly dissipate during this time.

Just when Rin was about to leave, she found that Dr. Edward and the others had already left. It was time to call Dr. Edward and ask him to pick them up.

But after seeing the message from Edward on his cell phone, his nerves became tense again. It was a message from Dr. Edward about Ace wanting to see him.

I don’t know why Ace wants to meet me. She and I are not very familiar. Although she is my good brother’s sister, why is she looking for me at this time? He thought at this time.

Without much concern, he quickly dialed Dr. Edward's phone number.

"Are you done? I just heard you say that Jingliu and Mei Yi were fighting. How are they doing?"

"It's okay. I'm going to break up the fight and use the power of the overlord cells."

"It seems that Miss Jingliu is indeed a formidable opponent... Let's not talk about it for now. My old sister will come to pick you up right away. Don't move there."

Almost ten minutes later, a black luxury car drove over, and a butler in a black suit got out of the car. Waiting in the car were none other than Ace and Dr. Edward.

"Where are Miss Shizuru and Miss Mei?" Doctor Edward asked.

Rin said to leave them alone and they wanted to have a good chat, and then got in the car.

After getting in the car, Ace still showed that cold expression and stared at Rin coldly. Rin was made very uncomfortable and did not dare to look at Ace.

"Is that weapon of yours Hypernetus?"

"Ah...yes."

Ace began to ask in an interrogative tone, and Rin answered truthfully and honestly.

He knew that Ace was as powerful as Captain Hollander, who had been on the mission with them a few days ago, and that he was a monster-like existence.

"It seems that the compatibility between you and the cells of the 'Extraterrestrial Hacker' is very high. I have found the right person this time." Ace personally poured Rin a glass of red wine and said to Rin.

When Rin saw Ace pour him a glass of wine, even though he didn't drink much, he refused and said, "Sorry, I don't drink much..."

Edward, who was next to Ace, also signaled his sister not to pour the glass for Rin. He was the kind of person who poured the glass half full, which was very troublesome to deal with. In fact, Edward himself was also the type who didn't drink, similar to his best friend.

"Is that so? It seems you still have room to grow."

Ace put the red wine aside, then handed him a document and said, "If you are interested, take a look at this. After reading it, I need your answer."

Rin quickly opened the file, which contained information about the founder of "New Arcadia Technology Co., Ltd."

"Kevin Kaslana, Cocolia, Liesel Albert Einstein...and, Sword Emperor Harvey? Who is this?"

Rin looked at the information word by word. Being a highly educated man, he quickly read the information, and began to become somewhat interested in the person named "Sword Emperor Harvey" at the end of the information.

Especially when he saw that he was the original owner of "Hypernetus", he stared at that column intently.

Ace slowly introduced this part of the information:

"After the disappearance of the original founder of New Arcadia, the leader of the World Snake Organization and the Anti-Entropy Organization, the current New Arcadia Technology is no longer as pure a business group as before."

"The current New Arcadia can basically be regarded as a gathering place for capitalists. Some of them used the technology left before the Honkai Era to transform themselves into monsters, and some used

New Arcadia Technology to make more ill-gotten gains for myself."

"The reason why Ed and I stayed here was initially to make more money and live a better life. However, later on, we discovered that some of the things done here violated the principles of human development."

When Rin heard this, he was suddenly startled and asked quickly: "What is it?"

"Create Honkai Impact." Ace slowly spit out these four words, which made Rin's hair stand on end.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the car, including the black-clad butler and even the driver, turned off the pop songs he was listening to and fell into silence.

They also seemed to want to know why New Arcadia wanted to "create a collapse" and what was the purpose of doing so?

Rin also wanted to know this, so she asked her:

"So what do Miss Ace think? Why is New Arcadia restarting Honkai Impact? What is the purpose? What are the benefits to them?"

"Of course it's to destroy humanity."

"Aren't people in New Arcadia just trying to make money? If humans disappear..."

"Then they can make more money, because money is only used in exchange for the general equivalent of materials... So it is for such a pure reason that they have to do this. This is just my judgment."

As soon as these words came out, Rin seemed a little angry. Just for something like "money", the top management of New Arcadia actually thought of such a thing. This was already a crime against humanity.

"That's why Ed and I tried to find a way to contact Destiny to prevent the birth of the 'First Great Collapse' after the Era Collapse. By that time, no matter who it is, they will die in this great Collapse.

.”

Ace explained that the reason why he came to find Rin who owned Hypernetus this time was to find someone who could contact "Sword Emperor Ha" through the relationship between Hypernetus and his former master Sword Emperor Harvey.

"Dimension" clues.

It is said that he was one of the key figures who prevented the Collapse of the Era. Without Sword Emperor Harvey, it is estimated that this "Collapse of the Era" would have continued.

Sword Emperor Harvey is a mysterious existence to Rin. Why is Harvey so much more important than Kevin, Cocolia and others that she knows? Why does Ace keep mentioning him?

"So, the only way to find Sword Emperor Harvey is through Hypernetus' contact, right? Miss Ace." Rin asked.

Just when Rin asked this question, Edward's expression was always serious. I don't know what he was planning. He also indicated that he would find a way to find Sword Emperor Harvey and let them not worry about this matter.

After getting off the car, because Ace still had something to do, he told Edward some things and then left. Only Edward, also known as Aiden, took Rin around in District A of Tianpan City in the far east.

Because Mei left early with Adam and the others, Edward and Rin, who stayed here, decided to hang out here for a while before the people who picked them up arrived:

"Adam and the others have already returned to their destiny. How did you decide to hang out here? I have money, so please do it."

"If you say so..."

Rin looked at Aiden with a proud smile.

Since it was his good brother who was treating him, if he didn't eat more, how could he be considered "being treated by others"? This was exactly what he was thinking at this moment.

Afterwards, Aiden took him to a restaurant that seemed to be full of people, and the two of them sat down and started ordering.

"Would you like some sashimi? I see it's your first time here. How can you count yourself as a tourist here if you don't taste some specialties?"

"Ah, I'm from China, so I'm not used to eating raw food."

The relaxation session after the mission is indispensable. After all, as long as Aiden is willing, he can be taken back to Shenzhou Destiny at any time. In addition, Aiden wants to treat himself to a meal here, and Rin is totally willing.

Because Rin was so hungry, as soon as the pork chop rice he ordered came, he breathed it in in front of Aiden, making him look very ugly while eating.

"one more bowl?"

"Ah...this..."

Before he realized that he had finished a large bowl of pork chop rice, he began to doubt his appetite.

He usually doesn't eat much. When he was at Bronya's house before, the captain always thought he ate too little and ate slowly, and he often followed Lin Qi to eat out.

Edward also noticed Rin's abnormal behavior, seemed to remember something, and explained:

"Didn't you use the power of Overlord? That kind of thing will not only shorten your life, but also quickly reduce your physical strength and make you hungry. So I brought enough money this time to make it for you."

As expected of a good brother, Rin's heart was filled with emotion at this moment. So, the shop owner was also shocked. In just five minutes, Rin finished four large bowls of pork chop rice.

Come down after eating.

Although the business owner was very happy, he did not stop cooking, and the dishes were always big bowls.

"Young man, we have that... Big Eater event in our store, why don't you try it another day?"

After taking Rin away, Edward indicated that he was going to call someone to pick him up, so he took him to the place where he was waiting for the bus to digest it.

Only then did Rin realize that she had eaten too much and couldn't walk steadily. It was really embarrassing for her to let Aiden hold her up.

Bronya's call also came at the same time. As soon as she answered the phone, there was Bronya's scolding. It seemed that Captain Bronya was really angry. With the idea of ​​not being able to anger the captain anymore, Rin immediately spoke to

Aiden proposed the idea of ​​getting his destiny back, and Aiden also contacted his sister to send a small spaceship to pick him up.

On the way back, Rin didn't forget to buy some snacks and other specialties from the Far East for the captain and the others, hoping that these things could soothe Bronya's angry heart.

"Let me tell you, Lao Rin, the next time you go on a mission like this, you'd better talk to your captain, otherwise your captain will come over and scold me again." Aiden said while looking at the driving console.

.

Rin also agreed casually, and then explained to Bronya on the phone the ins and outs of coming to Jidong to perform the mission.

After about an hour's drive, Dr. Edward also went back to rest. After Rin learned that Mei had also followed them back, she returned home relieved.

As soon as I got home, I put the bag full of Jidong specialties on the table, but found that there was no one in the room and the lights were dark.

It seems that everyone is asleep, Rin thought to herself at this time.

Just when he was about to turn on the flashlight and go upstairs, a big hand suddenly grabbed his neck, preventing him from breathing.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Where did your kid go?"

It was a man's voice, and this deep voice was exactly the same as that of someone. It was Senior Ritter, and this guy actually appeared at home.

The darkness suddenly brightened, and Bronya and Linqi, who were squatting on the ground like children, with colorful hats on their heads, were lurking next to the sofa.

"What are you doing?" Lin saw this and took a few steps back subconsciously.

Then, Bronya motioned for Lin Qi to stand up with her, then opened the paper fireworks in her hand, and the fireworks started ringing.
To be continued...
