Da da da...
The leather shoes stepped on the marble floor, and the mirror-like floor reflected the neat suit and long golden hair. Carrying the documents in his arms, Carius walked calmly to the end and knocked on the huge wooden door. After receiving a response, he turned the handle.
On one side of the huge and empty office, General Manager Carius was still overlooking the city. He liked this god-like perspective and felt that protecting the prosperity of this civilization brought him an infinite sense of accomplishment.
He has been living a very comfortable life recently. Through Canghai's sacrifice, the Fire Moth finally got rid of the restrictions of the League of Nations and completely became a monster.
In the name of protecting humanity, they are above all laws and governments. Wealth is just a number, and power is at their fingertips. As for the subsequent power reshuffle, they can get through it safely.
"You did a good job, Carius." The General Manager turned around and pointed to the luxurious wine cabinet. "The special meeting has ended. The vote unanimously passed to expel those people from the parliament. This maintains the unity of the Fire Moth and avoids disputes."
New forces want to enter, but there cannot be too many, otherwise, it will disrupt the existing balance of power. Six seats are neither too many nor too few.
Given the current appeal of the Fire Moth, these six seats are a bargaining chip that is enough to exchange for more power.
"Actually, I didn't contribute much to this matter. I just went with the flow. It doesn't matter whether the evolutionary faction or the pure-blood faction is eliminated. The only difference is who is more beneficial to the future of mankind." Carius remained humble, went to the wine cabinet, poured two glasses of aged whiskey, then placed the photos in his hand on the table one by one.
"Those people have shut up forever. It was done very cleanly. It was the work of the Cocoon."
The commander-in-chief took a glance and saw several old men lying in a pool of blood, each of them having been stabbed in the throat with a clean cut.
"Wayne instigated the Cocoon to rebel?"
"It should be. He recently used his status as a councillor to recommend two people to join the Fire Moth." Carius placed the photos of Sakura and Vil-V on the table and pointed his index finger at the Fifth Research Institute and the Desert Battle Ruins. "He also joined forces with the Evolutionary Faction to assign these two people to Dr. Ryan."
"Returning a favor, it turned out that he was the one who did it?" The commander-in-chief was not stupid. The clue was too obvious. It was this sharpest knife that destroyed most of the Cocoon and eradicated an entire faction with violence. Although it caters to my own interests, I feel a little uncomfortable.
"Yes, but it was done very cleanly, leaving no direct clues. Do you want to dig deeper?"
"What's your suggestion?"
"I think it's better to forget it. The truth will do no good because we can't do anything about him. Your Excellency, this has nothing to do with politics."
Carius was silent, his eyes constantly scanning several photos, and he had already constructed the whole process of events. Those people were killed by Forget-Me-Not, but they have been expelled from the parliament and are no longer considered members of the Fire Moth. Even if they are investigated to the end, it will only be a criminal charge, but behind Forget-Me-Not is Ryan...
His gaze finally stopped at the site of the battle. The mountains were shattered, the ground was covered with cracks, and the Cocoon could not find a single intact corpse.
Could it be that an existence that can challenge the Third Herrscher alone, along with the Fifth Research Institute, will be destroyed by a fusion bomb?
"My bottom line is to focus on fighting the Honkai. Although I don't know what he is going to do now, the proposal submitted by Councillor Wayne meets the requirements."
Integrate five research institutes to jointly develop anti-Honkai weapons. In addition, that "magician" is also a talent.
"Yes, sir." Carius raised his glass in greeting. He knew that the Commander-in-Chief was keen on power, but he was not stupid. If mankind was destroyed, there would be no power.
To lead mankind out of childhood, we have to wait until we defeat Honkai.
Sure enough, Tongkuai changed the subject and said, "But the future of mankind needs experienced people to control it, Carius. They are already a little dangerous."
Elysia, Mobius, Mei, and the two who were shoved in, don't forget, the Young Turks and Wayne are standing behind them. They have combat capability, power, and scientific research. To put it bluntly, they could even be pulled out to form a new organization.
"I understand, Your Excellency, that's why I support the purge of Parliament."
"Why?"
"Because the results of the Second Research Institute can only be used to fight against the Herrscher, and cannot be used as a means for us."
Carius has made it clear that it is personal strength that breaks the balance. Elysia is okay, she just smiles at everything, but this Ryan has already intervened in the power struggle.
This time they killed the Pure Blood, will they bomb the Fire Moth headquarters next time? And those weapons of mass destruction cannot be used to protect themselves.
"So you support the Mantis Project. We also need the power of 'superman' in our hands." The General Manager nodded. He understood. "But don't forget, Mobius is his girlfriend, and Dr. Mei is his classmate. What if there is a secret door left during the operation..."
"Well, I'm prepared. Please come in."
The door was pushed open, and a man walked in. He was wearing a white coat and limping. His exposed skin showed signs of collapse and erosion. His face was deformed, and his hair and teeth were almost all gone. The commander-in-chief immediately knew that this man must have been in the center of the collapse. It was a miracle that he was not dead.
"Sir, please allow me to introduce you." Carius walked over with a smile. He did not dislike the ugly man and said loudly, "Dr. Damian, a scholar with great achievements in imaginary mathematics and biology!"
Fifth Institute, underground laboratory
"You're mad at me because of such a small thing?"
Mobius folded her arms with obvious disdain on her face, while Ryan sat in front of her with a sneer on his face.
He had already run back from the emergency exit and bumped into Mobius, who had a look on her face that said 'please praise me,' and then he didn't give her a good look.
"This is just a trivial matter?" Ryan stood up immediately and whispered, "The image I worked so hard to build up has been destroyed. Sakura's last look was not good."
"Sakura? Haha, you sound so affectionate."
Mobius narrowed her eyes, which looked unusually sharp in the dim light.
"Alicea said that we should be sincere to others so that we can gain their trust."
"Are you thinking of Elysia now?"
"Didn't you ask me to learn from that woman?" Mobius walked away with some boredom and went to pour coffee at the table. Ryan lowered his head slightly and saw that Mobius had changed her tactics again today.
She was still wearing short-heeled leather shoes and stockings, but the black socks were reflective as if they were coated with oil, attracting a lot of attention as she walked.
The legendary horse oil stockings? Judging from the traces of the skirt, they are suspenders.
Ryan entered into an academic research state, and before he could come up with a result, Mobius had turned her head with a teasing smile on her face.
"Why, you want another pair? Do you want me to take them off now?" Her eyes flickered, and her smile turned disdainful again: "Besides, this is nothing. At most you can tell her that you wore these stockings yourself."
"Hey, you seem to be getting even more abnormal. Are you sick?"
Ryan had the urge to stuff the stockings into Mobius' mouth. This woman was shameless, which made him shameless as well, so he had to stuff the stockings into his trouser pocket in silence.
"I'm not going to waste my time on nonsense. Let's get down to business. First, has anyone come to test me since I left?"
"Yes, the officer in charge of funding came here and insisted on seeing you."
Ryan was not surprised. The enemy was not stupid and would think of him first. If they found that he was not there, they would definitely withdraw their troops immediately.
"How did you fool me?"
"I used hallucinogenic drugs and made him dream for a while. This kind of opportunity is not easy to get. If it wasn't for protecting you, I would have made him increase the budget by 20%." Mobius put down the coffee cup heavily, looking like she was ruining my plan.
So simple and crude? It's really in the style of Mobius.
Ryan finally smiled: "Well done, now I have an alibi."
"You still have some conscience."
Mobius smiled, but the smile quickly disappeared, thinking that there was nothing to be happy about such a trivial matter.
"Ahem, have you finished your story? Now it's my turn."
"Why don't you ask how the higher-ups will deal with me? Even without evidence, they should be able to guess it."
"I don't care if you die." Mobius wrinkled her nose and threw a white coat over. "Come with me. During the time you were wandering around, we made a major breakthrough in our research."
What a heartless woman, and I was not hanging around.
Ryan was a little speechless. Watching Mobius walking away with her hips twisted, he had to cheer up. He knew that Mantis were the cornerstone of this civilization, and he wanted to take a look.
If I forcefully intervene, can I bring more vitality to mankind?
