Honkai, the behind-the-scenes simulator

【You like this kind of music very much, or you like the passionate emotions expressed in this kind of music. 】

[Just like the Miss Sakura in front of me, she looks indifferent and unapproachable on the surface, but in fact, there is a much more eager emotion hidden in her heart than her appearance. 】

【You appreciate Sakura's taste very much. 】

[After receiving your evaluation, Sakura's face showed obvious surprise and astonishment. Of course, there were more surprises. 】

[After all, for a long time, people around Sakura seemed to be unacceptable to her taste in music, even her younger sister. 】

[Even Alicia, who usually goes to other people's side with a "hey hey hey", didn't appear in front of her for five consecutive days after hearing the song in her earphones. 】

[Sakura can feel that your words are not pretending to cater, but appreciating such music from the heart and agreeing with her taste. 】

[Sakura, who realized this, was in a good mood, and promised that when she had time to return to her hometown, she would give you the out-of-print limited CD as a gift. 】

[You use the communication tool to share the music that Sakura sent you to Eden. 】

[After all, Eden is arguably the most outstanding musician in today's era. 】

[After a long time, you finally received Eden's reply, it was a "?" that seemed to be struggling for some reason. 】

[Then, Eden promises you that every time she holds a concert, she will specially prepare tickets for her concert for you. 】

[After seeing the news from Eden, you understand what the other party means. 】

【"I advise you to listen to my songs more!"】

[She almost said this sentence directly. 】

[You feel a little emotional. 】

[It seems that even Eden is not able to appreciate all art. 】

[Sakura, on the other hand, doesn't seem to be surprised by this. 】

[After all, when she shared the music in her earphones with others, the other party almost broke up with her. 】

[And when it is cleared that this is not malicious, but just a personal hobby, that person will be relieved a little, and then...]

[Invite her to listen to the sound of sawing wood in the lumberyard. 】

【You think Sakura is a very interesting person. 】

[You can realize that Sakura's position in Moth Chasing Flame may not be considered glorious. 】

[However, she is always very clear about what she really needs. 】

[Even if her hands will be stained with dirty colors, she will still do her best to protect the light in her heart. 】

[Moreover, the light in Sakura's eyes is only those who are waiting for her to go home. 】

[You like all of her features. 】

[As time goes by, the academic communication team of the Flaming Moths seems to have gradually confirmed that they are unable to obtain more information about the consciousness activation technology. 】

[This academic exchange is about to end. 】

[Obviously, the decision-makers of Moth Chasing Flame are not satisfied with the results of this academic exchange, which is actually an action to explore technology. 】

[Before the academic exchange team was about to leave, Mei seemed to have inadvertently mentioned that there was something about the rumored special forces inside the Flaming Moth. 】

【In the process of developing power and operation, the flame-chasing moth is not always so smooth, and sometimes it is inevitable to use radical or dark means. 】

[For this reason, those disgraceful things must be done by someone. 】

[Whether it is internal cleansing, or the production of forces that hinder oneself, or the use of special methods to keep secrets when the collapse has not yet become a public matter. 】

[The team responsible for carrying out such tasks is called "Poisonous Chrysalis". 】

[Most of the members of "Poison Chrysalis" have a dark past, including all kinds of killers and criminals, and they basically have a lot of blood on their hands. 】

[They should have been imprisoned for life as criminals, or directly executed, but because of the needs of moths, they were allowed to wear crimes and make meritorious deeds. 】

["Poisonous Chrysalis" and "Moth"... I have to say, these two names really make people feel delicate. 】

[The academic exchange is over, you bid farewell to the academic exchange team of Chasing Flame Moth. 】

【It's a pity that you didn't see Sakura in the team. 】

[You sigh. 】

【after all......】

【You still want to say goodbye to Sakura as a friend. 】

Chapter 15 The girl with cherry hair, I will face you with a sword

[It's a pity that you couldn't see Sakura in the team that the Flaming Moth academic exchange team left. 】

【Because you want to say goodbye to her...as a friend. 】

[But since she didn't leave with the team, there's nothing she can do about it, right? 】

[You sigh softly. 】

[At this time, most of the members of the Saints Squad, which is the fighting force in the "Masquerade Ball", are carrying out missions against Honkai all over the world. 】

[In other words, you lack the guards of combatants around you. 】

[And you are a researcher, and you don't have the power like them. 】

[If you want to take any action against you, then this is the best opportunity - if you think about it with common sense, it should be like this. 】

【You put your hands in the pockets of your white coat, walking leisurely along the corridors of the research institute alone. 】

[There are no other staff in this area. 】

[The white tiled floor reflects the dazzling white light of the fluorescent lamp overhead, and your clear footsteps echo on the empty walk. 】

[And ahead, at the corner. 】

【The cherry-haired girl who should have left here is now closing her eyes and leaning her back against the wall. 】

【She uses the cover of the wall to hide her figure. 】

[The camera has been processed in advance, and all the video images in the monitoring room have been replaced. 】

[The protection measures inside this research institute are not so strict. 】

[As for the poisonous chrysalis inside the Fire Chasing Moth, which is responsible for the dark side affairs, it can't play the slightest hindrance. 】

[The girl with cherry hair closed her eyes, her slightly tense body remained motionless, she looked like a statue, and even her breathing was basically suppressed to the minimum. 】

[This is a technique circulated in her hometown, which can minimize her own sense of existence. 】

[Sometimes, even if the gaze sweeps over her, it is possible to ignore her subconsciously. 】

[This technique can play a big role in performing special tasks. 】

【Sakura's ears are listening intently to the sound of footsteps echoing in the corridor. Even without looking, she can know where the opponent is at this time, and she can grasp the timing of the attack. 】

【The girl's gaze moved down slightly, and landed on her palm that was already holding the handle of the knife. 】

[My hands still look slender and fair, and I can't see the appearance of being stained with blood countless times. 】

[Fortunately, when I act this time, I don't need to be an executioner to take the lives of others...]

[Subconsciously, such a thought flashed through my mind. 】

【The next moment, even Sakura couldn't help being a little bit taken aback. 】

【She realized that for some reason, she subconsciously resisted drawing a sword at that guy. 】

[It was as if there was a voice in my heart, constantly shouting to stop myself. 】

【She closed her eyes, readjusted her breathing, and got rid of distracting thoughts in her mind. 】

[Could it be that because of this period of getting along, I have already regarded him as a friend? 】

【This......】

[This kind of thinking is really strange. 】

【Sakura's hand holding the handle of the knife is slightly stronger, and on the slender and fair palm, the light blue tendons become particularly obvious as the strength in the hand increases. 】

【She is a member of "Poison Chrysalis". 】

[The subordinate organization of Moth Chasing Fire, "Poisonous Chrysalis". 】

[It stands to reason that the organization Fire Chasing Moth should be composed of people who yearn for the light, and it exists to fight against the collapse and protect the future of human civilization. 】

[However, "poisonous chrysalis" represents the darkness and shadows inside the fire-chasing moth. 】

【The blood stained on her hands can't be washed away long ago. 】

[She was displaced due to the war in her home country, and in the process of being dependent on her younger sister, she accidentally got blood on her hands. 】

[Since then, how many times I have been with death has long been difficult to count. 】

[Then, she was found by the people who chased the fire moth. 】

[The person who chased the firemoth gave her two choices, join the firemoth, or die. 】

【She has no choice. 】

【She doesn't want to die, whether it's for her sister Ling or for something else. 】

[Originally thought that after joining an organization that should belong to the light like the Flame Chasing Moth, she would be able to gradually get rid of her past. 】

[However, although she joined the Fire Chasing Moth, she joined the "Poison Chrysalis", a secret organization in the Fire Chasing Moth that specializes in dealing with dark side affairs. 】

[Became a member of Moth Chasing Fire, she still can't get rid of the daily life of being associated with death, harvesting life with the blade in her hand. 】

[The difference is that when harvesting other people's lives this time, there are more glorious and just reasons. 】

[For the fight against the collapse, for human beings. 】

【but......】

[Killing is killing, no matter what the reason is. 】

[Even with the most righteous excuse, the warm blood left on the hand cannot be deceived. 】

[Especially when the information about the collapse of the past has not been made public, in order to allow the flame moth to continue to lurk in the shadows, when she is forced to take so-called special countermeasures in an emergency, she is extremely clear Recognize this. 】

【but......】

【That's all she has. 】

[As the saying goes, hell is other people. When human beings act for their own goals, it will inevitably affect the goals of others.When you follow your own path, you will inevitably block the path of others. 】

【Sakura is fully aware of this. 】

[But now, he is hesitating? 】

【The corner of Sakura's mouth slightly turned up, it was a self-deprecating smile. 】

【She didn't know why she felt so difficult to make a move. If she couldn't make a move at this time, then what did she do before? 】

【Sakura's eyes were tightly closed, she pressed her hand on the scabbard, and listened quietly to the sound of approaching footsteps. 】

[In fact, there are different factions in the decision-making layer of the fire moth. 】

[Some opinions are more moderate, while others are far more radical. 】

[But unfortunately, at this time, those who are directly in charge of the "poisonous chrysalis" who are responsible for dark side affairs are of course more inclined to the radical side. 】

[The so-called consciousness activation technology, the academic exchange team of Chasing Flame Moth failed to unlock the key. 】

【Therefore, the high-level Moth Chaser Moth who holds the "poisonous chrysalis" has a more radical idea, which is to obtain the secrets directly by force. 】

[As the general manager of the "Masquerade Ball", you are just a researcher, and you don't seem to have the power of other members. 】

【So, you were naturally chosen as the breakthrough point. 】

【By the way, if there is nothing to be done, then the Flaming Moth has prepared for the worst. 】

[This is something that was decided when the academic exchange team was dispatched—otherwise, Sakura, a member of the "Poison Chrysalis", would not be responsible for the escort mission. 】

【finally--】

[At that moment, Sakura suddenly opened her eyes, the icy blue eyes were filled with a combination of indifference and sharpness. 】

【The Japanese-style long sword in his hand slipped out of the scabbard silently and fell into his hand. 】
