An angry face appeared from the other end of the communicator, and green marks confirmed her identity.
It was Dr. Möbius, who was at the Firemoth base.
"Hmm~ You contacted me in such a hurry, did you miss me?"
The girl in pink responded with a cheerful smile and joked:
"Look at that angry look on his face. Who made Dr. Möbius so upset?"
"Don't give me that crap. You know perfectly well what you've done!"
"The alarms at the Moth of Fire branch in Oceania are blaring, and even headquarters has received reports of a high-level Honkai energy reaction moving at an extremely fast speed in the waters surrounding Oceania. You must have done this, right?!"
Mebius spoke through gritted teeth.
After learning about Alicia's itinerary and true identity, the first person I thought of when I received the alert from Oceania was Alicia.
After learning the situation, Jiang felt somewhat guilty, and his gaze became shifty.
"Haha...what are you talking about?"
"It's really you!"
The fire in the snake's eyes seemed almost tangible, and in response—
The girl in the swimsuit chose to continue playing dumb to the end:
"Alicia doesn't know."
This is actually why he didn't consider using the Primal Spirit at first.
Even without flights, Primal Spirits are an excellent mode of transportation, and may even be faster than regular airplanes.
However, the true nature of the Primordial Spirit is a Honkai Beast.
As the companion Honkai Beast of the Herrscher of Origin, the Origin Spirit is extremely powerful, at least an Emperor-level Honkai Beast. If it fights in its home turf—the Origin Space—its strength can even soar to the Judgment level.
Honkai Beasts of this caliber would cause disaster simply by appearing in the world.
Jiang Qiao's act of riding the Primordial Spirit for a stroll was seen by the various branches of the Fire Moth as equivalent to an unidentified Emperor-level Honkai Beast roaming at high speed, and the terror it brought was not much less than the appearance of a Herrscher.
The reason he wasn't discovered before was that he was mostly found in areas where the Great Collapse had occurred. In those situations, the Great Collapse provided cover, so although he was still quite conspicuous, he also had some protection.
And this is happening in areas where the Honkai outbreak isn't occurring...
“What on earth do you want to do?”
Mebius was somewhat displeased. She was still conducting experiments when she received the alarm, and this annoying woman had managed to create such a mess for her in such a short time.
The girl sighed:
"Okay, okay... it was my fault, but there's nothing I can do about it."
He was also helpless.
Who told the cocoon to be so troublesome, wanting to play some tricks on itself?
In this situation, it's no longer possible to leisurely enjoy a luxury cruise.
Since the Imaginary Authority cannot be used, the fastest means of transportation is probably to use the Primal Spirit to take me for a ride.
"I also suffered a great loss."
Thinking back to her luxury cruise ship, Alicia muttered to herself.
—Although Herrschers also possess the ability to fly, the Primordial Herrscher cannot do so due to her unique nature.
It's not that it's impossible, but that we shouldn't do it that way.
If he had to fly on his own, he wouldn't be able to maintain the characteristics of a Primordial Herrscher that are no different from ordinary people.
In that case, what the Firemoth is seeing now is not the Honkai energy reaction of an Emperor-level Honkai Beast moving at high speed, but the Honkai energy reaction of a Herrscher moving at high speed.
"Forget about that for now... Mebius, Cocoon may have taken some new measures."
Sitting on the rocks, the pink-clad girl put aside those meaningless things and spoke to Mebius on the other end of the communicator with a touch of solemnity.
The latter's angry expression softened, replaced by a solemn one.
Although he disliked this woman intensely, Mebius knew that while Alicia might enjoy playing pranks on trivial matters, she was absolutely serious about anything important.
Just like using the Primal Spirit to travel, if you know what the consequences will be, and you still do it, it can only mean that in [Alicia's] judgment, there is a necessity to take such a risk.
"Next time you do something like this, we hope you can let us know in advance if possible."
MEI incorporates communication frequency bands.
This is an encrypted communication channel specially allocated for them by Vilvi using some resources. The difficulty of eavesdropping is that if you can defeat the combined efforts of Teacher DaV and MEI, you can eavesdrop however you want.
Her tone carried a hint of weariness and helplessness.
"Fortunately, Wilvi acted in time, otherwise there would have been some trouble."
"Don't worry, I didn't leave any flaws."
Sitting on the rocks, the pink-clad girl in her swimsuit smiled confidently.
He had considered this matter long ago, so even though he took the reckless action of using the Primordial Spirit as a means of transportation, he did not choose to "fly" but instead maintained his mode of travel underwater.
With the cover of seawater, even satellite reconnaissance cannot detect the "sea monsters" that lurk beneath the sea surface and slither through the water.
Even the good-natured Mei was a little annoyed, "If it weren't like this, we wouldn't be chatting like this right now."
If Alicia were captured by satellite while riding a King-class Honkai Beast, the outcome would likely be no better than her Herrscher identity being exposed. All of them who were close to Jiang Qiao would have to be questioned.
"Hey... By the way, MEI, have you investigated the unusual weather in New Zealand?"
A light tap of her pink fist on her head, the blinking pink-clad girl stuck out her tongue, trying to get away with it with cuteness, but the next moment she smiled again and asked about the things she cared about.
Because he is not very good at this kind of thing, and because the discovery was made in a hurry, he currently knows nothing about the situation in New Zealand.
But after confirming that there was some skill involved, Jiang Qiao naturally didn't want to continue blindly searching, so she consulted MEI.
"I haven't paid much attention to it. You know I'm very busy with things here."
MEI said this with some resentment.
Research is never an easy job, especially for a genius like her who is always so busy that she never has a moment to rest.
Not to mention that in order to meet [Alicia's] needs, she also has to take care of and prepare other things, which makes MEI twice as busy as before, and she will become even busier in the future.
The only good news might be... as a Herrscher, she doesn't have to worry about overworking herself to death, and she has more energy than the average person, but this is definitely not a good thing, damn it!
"I'll investigate when I have time, but if you're in a hurry, you can go to the Seventh Research Department of the Oceania Firemoth Branch; you should be able to find out a lot there."
"—By the way, because of the commotion you caused, headquarters has dispatched the Ninth Squad to New Zealand to investigate the details."
Chapter 124 Oh dear~ the signal doesn't seem to be very good.
"...The Fourth Research Department."
After touching her chin, the pink-clad girl sitting on the reef, following MEI's advice, instantly found her goal.
"That's fine, since I didn't really have any goals anyway."
Although Jiang Qiao came to New Zealand to find the imaginary dark side of the center of the fourth Great Collapse.
but--
Unlike Changkong City, because Lao Mi's copywriting was complete and Changkong City was just a city, he was able to find the center point so quickly while finding MEI... It's funny, the location of that outbreak center point was above the rooftop of the teaching building of Qianyu Academy.
The situation is different in New Zealand during the fourth major catastrophe. Because the description was too vague, there were not many clues at all. As for asking Kevin, Sue, and other survivors? That method was not feasible from the beginning.
At that time, Su belonged to the Fifth Research Department of the Fire Moth located in Europe and had no involvement in this matter. Kevin did not arrive in New Zealand until after the fourth Great Collapse.
At that time, the fourth catastrophe encompassed the entirety of New Zealand.
Even the files of the Moth of Fire after the fact only record that the Fourth Great Collapse occurred in New Zealand.
As for the central location Jiang Qiao needs...
They are not the Primordial Heralds who can observe the dark side of the imaginary number in the cocoon operation!
"MEI, where is the Fourth Research Department located? I've never been here before."
If it's Alicia, she's probably been to this place before. After all, as a top-tier wanderer, that fat woman has traveled all over the world and even met all the young Yingjie.
Unfortunately, he wasn't Alicia—although even if it were Alicia herself, she would probably have forgotten most of it after all these years.
"I've sent you the location of the Fourth Research Department. I've already made arrangements with Möbius, so you can just go there directly." MEI, who was just like a mother worrying about her daughter, had taken care of everything perfectly, and responded to Jiang in this way.
"Hmm~ I knew you guys were the most reliable~"
The girl in pink smiled sweetly, but Mei on the other end wasn't buying the compliment and said irritably:
"Don't give me the right to send people around without a conscience..."
"Oh, right, that ticket..."
"Hey... hello? The signal here doesn't seem to be very good. Sorry, MEI, I'll have to talk to you later."
The pink-clad girl, speaking with such vivid gestures, kept shifting her position, as if... well, the signal was really bad!
"What a pity! I was hoping to chat a little longer, but why is there no signal?"
Looking annoyed, [Alicia] chuckled and started fiddling with the terminal:
