Chapter 178 Bad News

"Ah~ I'm so tired. It's true. Not to mention the reduction in funds, the workload has doubled several times. Do you really want to use me as a cheap labor force?!"

In the Fire Chasing Moth's base, Velvet wiped the sweat from her head and finally completed today's work.

As the head of the Engineering Department, she already had a lot on her plate, not to mention that Mei was specifically targeting her because of what happened before.

It’s really hard to take a rest now~

"what?"

Velvet seemed to see something. She ran behind a pillar, stuck her head out, and watched a group of soldiers escorting a man and a woman into the base. To be precise, they were not escorting, except for a pink-haired "Poison Chrysalis" "Except for the members, no soldier wanted to get close to these two people, and these two people were not shackled, they were just surrounded and consciously followed the large army.

Despite this, it is still possible to tell from the expressions of the surrounding soldiers what their identities are.

"Have any new criminals been brought back?" Velvet showed an excited expression on her face. After working in the Fire Chasing Moth for so long, she would also hold some private magic performances from time to time, but apart from a few people she knew, she could If you are not in the audience, no one else will be willing to enjoy your performance, and the people you know will not always be available, so many times when Velvet is performing, there is not even an audience in the audience.

How can that work?

A magic show cannot be without an audience, just as the West cannot be without Jerusalem.

Velvet would not allow this to happen.

Therefore, even if it was a forced purchase or sale, she had to recruit a few people to support her, and the criminals without human rights imprisoned in the Fire Moth naturally became her target.

Now that a new criminal has arrived, doesn't it mean she has a new audience to watch?

Thinking of this, Velvet straightened her clothes and strode towards the two people being escorted. As her future audience, how could she not step forward and say hello?

"...Miss Velvet." The leader looked at Velvet walking straight towards them and couldn't help but have a headache. It was like this every time. When he saw a new person being escorted in, this guy seemed to have seen a mouse. Like a cat, he came up to me shamelessly.

"Hey, long time no see, hello, hello." Velvet wanted to shake hands with the leader, but he didn't give any face and just avoided it.

"Please don't hinder our work. There are dangerous people among these two people. They must be escorted to the prison as soon as possible."

"Dangerous person?" Velvet first looked at Aponya's beautiful face, looked up and down, then frowned slightly, then moved her gaze to Qianjie, and her frown deepened.

These two people look... so familiar, I feel like I've seen them somewhere before?

"Miss, please don't waste your time." Seeing Velvet looking deep in thought, Sakura couldn't help but remind her.

"Oh..." Velvet glanced at Sakura's appearance. The person from "Poison Chrysalis" with pink hair should be named Sakura, right? A boy's childhood sweetheart?

Wellwei had conducted an investigation on Li at the beginning, and not only found out his identity, but also investigated the information about the people around him... Wait, she seemed to remember, didn't these two people live with the boy? Those two people together? It seems to be called Aponia and Qianjie? How did they get caught?

"Did they commit something?" Velvet blinked and asked curiously.

"It is suspected that a large number of Honkai infection sources were deliberately gathered." The leader answered her question.

"It seems suspicious..." Velvet breathed a sigh of relief.

"What? Do you know them?" Seeing Velvet's performance, the leader asked doubtfully.

"I don't know him." Velvet shook her head decisively. She indeed didn't know him, she just knew him as a young man.

"Then get out of the way. If you continue to struggle, I will report it to the superiors." The leader threatened.

"No! I'll get out of the way right now, I don't want my wages to be deducted again!" Velvet quickly slipped aside and stopped blocking the escort team.

Seeing them gradually moving away, Velvet also fell into distress.

It's over. The boy's friend has been arrested. If he finds out, won't he explode? Judging from the investigation, these two people seem to be quite important to the boy?

Hmm... But we can't hide this matter anyway. The young man will know it sooner or later. Why not tell him in advance? Wouldn't it be a free favor? Moreover, if he really couldn't control his emotions, staged a prison robbery scene in the Fire Chasing Moth, and killed everyone in sight, maybe he could let himself off for the sake of this?

Who knows what terrible consequences a Herrscher might have when he gets angry.

Thinking of this, Velvet immediately ran to Mebius's laboratory. Now, the young man should still be working overtime there, right?

……

"No, I want to sleep, I want to rest, I want to eat midnight snacks..."

Li collapsed on the operating table, not caring about the blood stains that remained after the experiment and the corpse he pushed off the operating table.

Obviously, the unlucky guy just failed to survive the experiment.

"Little guinea pig, can't you stand this? This is only the first day. This kind of work will continue for twenty-nine days. What should you do next?" Mebius pointed and was still immersed in pain. Damn it Klein.

"Learn from your senior sister Klein and see how capable she is~"

"Can I learn Danzhu and Cangxuan?" Li raised his hands high and asked.

"That's a good idea." Mebius glared at him, "Get up quickly, today's work is not finished yet, I don't believe you have no strength at all~"

"Mental fatigue, I have no energy if I don't sleep." Li turned over.

"..."

Their tasks were actually completed today, and the rest was Klein's responsibility. Mebius originally wanted to stay up late to complete tomorrow's tasks a little bit, but seeing Li's appearance, he gave up.

Mebius glanced at the body lying on the ground, "Then I will leave the hygiene of the laboratory to you today. Please be sure to clean up the blood stains on the floor, and then you can get off work~"

"Um...okay."

Li sat up straight, jumped off the operating table, and ran slowly to get the cleaning tools.

Mebius is finally willing to get off work. Do you want to force him to stay up late to work? Hey, he won't come to take care of you. If you don't get enough sleep, your life will be shortened.

But before Li could finish cleaning up the traces left by the body, someone suddenly broke in, and it was someone beyond his expectation.

"Vilvi? What are you doing here?" Mebius asked warily as he looked at the annoying magician in front of him.

"Hello, Dr. Mebius, long time no see~ It's just that I'm not here to see you this time." Velvet said hello to Mebius first, and then looked at Li who looked disgusted with her. :

"Young man, I have some bad news here. Do you want to hear it?"
