The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"snort……"

Mikael snorted coldly. He was obviously just a single person, but he brought an inexplicable sense of oppression to the officials in the crowd.

The sound of gasping for air could be heard everywhere. Everyone felt that their throats were itchy and dry. The vibrations in their heart continued like a wave, quickly transmitting the heat to the whole body. However, only the limbs felt cold and numb, and the brain felt cold. He also became groggy due to lack of oxygen.

Their brains were unprecedentedly empty, as if something had taken away all their souls. They were unable to concentrate on any issues at the moment. Even simple and clear questions like "Who is he?" could not stay in their minds. .

Because there is already a dead blank there.

Then, they heard clear and slow footsteps, as if there was a big sword hanging above everyone's head. Every time the footsteps sounded, the big sword dropped downwards. No one dared to look up, so no one dared to look up. I don’t know when the big sword will fall to my head.

This is undoubtedly a great mental torture.

Maybe someone with a strong will has already reacted - who is this person? Why should we be afraid of him?

These people wanted to raise their heads to look at the owner of the footsteps, but when they raised their heads, they saw a man with scars on his face like ravines. The man's eyes were staring at a meaningless blank space in the air, but That gaze seemed to penetrate easily into the hearts of everyone who tried to spy on him.

Then, he grinned, and all the scars squirmed like worms, making those who saw it feel terrified.

With an inexplicable smile on his face, he silently walked up to a tall city mayor. This man had a slender figure, slender limbs, and long golden hair that was quite shiny, but at a glance, it was mixed with a lot of white hair. At least thirty years old. The facial features must be good, and the voice has been heard just now, and it is indeed magnetic, but Mikael doesn't like it, so who can let him say some frivolous and vicious words?

Mikael stopped in front of him, and it was obvious that his body was trembling slightly.

He was afraid. Although he felt that his words should not be heard due to the previous distance, he could not run away with a guilty conscience, let alone under the pressure of Mikael's intentional aura.

Mikael stood in front of him and waited for about ten seconds before he forced out a flattering smile, bowed and raised his head.

When he saw Mikael's terrifying face, his expression couldn't help but froze, but he finally showed his basic bureaucratic qualities and soon said in a more flattering manner:

"Hello, hello, hello! Are you the special commissioner sent by the headquarters to guide the immigration work? Hello, hello, hello!"

He held out his hands to Mikael.

When he saw those green eyes, the corners of Mikael's eyes could not help but twitch twice. Then, he pinched the front of the opponent's right hand without saltiness. When the opponent wanted to surround it with both hands, At this time, he quickly pulled his hand out.

The atmosphere became cold again for a while, but this time, Mikael did not allow the silence to spread:

"Don't think too much."

His words seemed to have a double entendre, but his tone was a bit too cold even though he was clearly expressing concern.

"I'm not the person you want to greet, I'm just her guard."

Hearing this, some stunned young people already showed disapproval. If it weren't for the coercion released by Mikael, they might have shouted and attacked him.

Just a broken security guard, do you deserve it?

But the real veterans have become more respectful - the kid is difficult to deal with, so just give him a thumbs up and that's it!

"This... little brother, don't be so outspoken. As a security guard, you are naturally a member of the guidance team, and of course you are also the one we welcome!"

The unnatural smile on the man's handsome face became brighter and brighter. He stretched out his hand again and said:

"Let's get to know each other again. I am the mayor of the Third New Paradise City, Michael."

"Um?"

Mikael shook hands with him again, but inevitably raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Michael? This name fits your position as the mayor of the Third New Paradise City very well."

"haha, yes……"

Of course Michael felt uncomfortable being teased like this by a little guard, but even though he was young, his face did not show any dissatisfaction, and he even explained to Mikael without hesitation:

"When I was young, I was ridiculed by my peers because of this name. I never thought that I would become the 'Guardian of Heaven' one day. This is all thanks to Dr. Mei's trust and cultivation. But...if I didn't remember If I’m wrong, the name of the anti-entropy captain who saved mankind several times actually has the same origin as mine, right?”

"Um."

The corners of Mikael's mouth twitched slightly.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Michael narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice and asked:

"Little brother, I wonder if you can tell me how many people are in the special team that came to guide the work this time? I don't mean anything else. It's just that we have to arrange a reception banquet and accommodation, and the headquarters has not provided any information in advance. Isn’t it difficult to arrange our information..."

Was he really just asking about the number of people? It would be too naive to think so.

Rather than saying that he cares about the number of people, what he wants to know is the composition of the entire team.

"There aren't many people."

Mikael smiled, as if he didn't know how terrifying this scarred face looked.

"There is only one...ah, no, besides me, there is another one, Dr. Akagi."

"Dr. Akagi?"

Michael raised his chin. This staff composition is a bit intriguing...

Logically speaking, even if it is a task that is not taken seriously, only one special commissioner and one guard will be sent to handle it.

What's more, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the American Immigration Plan is currently the largest and most important plan in the field of people's livelihood. This plan involves the immigration of more than one billion people. If you are not careful, it will cause extremely serious consequences. s consequence.

Therefore, it is impossible not to pay attention to it, but the headquarters still only sent one doctor. What does this mean?

Michael quickly exchanged glances with the staff and colleagues around him. In fact, this kind of thing is nothing to think about. Since the headquarters can only send one doctor and at most one guard on such an important issue, this means that at least From Dr. Mei's personal point of view, she believes that these two people are enough to cope with any situation that may arise here.

Well, although they were still mocking Mei not long ago, at least everyone still has no opinion on this girl's working ability.

but……

I have never heard of the name "Dr. Akagi"!

Moreover, this guard is not ordinary. Once he appears, he can suppress hundreds of people present speechless. This kind of pressure seems to have exceeded the murderous intent in the general sense, right? Could it be a fusion warrior? No, they must be fusion warriors, and they should be the ones with stronger combat effectiveness.

But there's still that question - how come the two of them... seem to pop out of the cracks in the rocks? If this "Dr. Akagi" is so capable and so favored by Mei, he shouldn't be so unknown.

And if she is indeed capable but lacks qualifications and is a newcomer just discovered by Mei, Mei will not send her alone to carry out the task, right? At least you need someone with more experience to guide you, right?

After pondering for a moment, Michael gritted his teeth, took half a step towards Mikael, and asked in a lower and flattering voice:

"Little brother, do you have any IDs or something like this that you guys can verify?"

Theoretically speaking, it is necessary to verify the credentials of the special commissioner. But for these people sent by their superiors to inspect their work, how can the local municipal officials have the courage to be too serious? What if you make someone angry? Besides, the headquarters usually releases the commissioner's information to the local authorities in advance, so there is no need to verify the credentials.

But this time, the weird thing is that the headquarters has not provided the special commissioner's information before, so to verify the identity, it is necessary to verify the documents.

After figuring this out, Michael suddenly gained a lot of confidence.

"snort……"

Mikael shook his head slightly, "Our identity is quite special. Please log in to the intranet in person to verify our identity."

Although he felt that it was a bit of a fuss, Michael still took the tablet with the Fire Chaser logo from the staff. Then he broke away from the bureaucratic team, walked to Mikael's side, and turned on the identity verification system.

Mikael took it casually, but did not verify it. Instead, he switched to the task verification module, quickly entered the task number, and handed it to Michael.

Michael wanted to kill him, but Michael didn't let go.

"This is……"

The first thing that catches the eye is not any text or picture introduction, but a huge logo.

It's not the familiar fire-chasing moth logo, but an oval made of filaments, like a silkworm chrysalis.

"Poison chrysalis!"

Michael's expression suddenly changed.

This organization... is famous, not... notorious... In short, this is a mysterious organization that is widely circulated and has various legends.

As one of the only independent organizations under the Fire Chasing Moth, and the only organization that was once exterminated, its own legendary filter is no worse than Anti-Entropy. Coupled with stricter intelligence control, Poison Chrysalis has a stronger sense of mystery than Anti-Entropy.

Michael only knew that this organization had been involved in the internal fight between the Fire Chaser Moth and the coalition government, and even once injured Kevin, whose combat power was said to be second only to the Herrscher.

The scale of that turmoil seemed to be huge, and the situation was so out of control that Mei asked for help from Anti-Entropy. In the end, the [Yaksha] who was born from the poison chrysalis personally slaughtered it and rebuilt it not long after.

Perhaps they are not well-known in the battle against Honkai, and their combat effectiveness cannot be accurately assessed, but no one will not fear this organization——

Because they always hide their bodies in the darkest places, no one knows the size of this organization, what kind of weapons it has, and what specific tasks it performs, and because the target of their swords is not Honkai, but humanity itself.

Michael straightened his body unconsciously, and his temples were wet with cold sweat at some point.

Scroll down further and you’ll find a brief mission introduction with only one sentence:

[Two Poisoned Chrysalis operators conducted necessary investigations into the resettlement situation of the American branch. 】

Further down is the simple information about the two operators:

[Name: Akagi**]

[Position: Dr. ***]

[Permission: Special Level]

(Attach a photo)

[Name: Casper·**]

[Position: Security Officer]

[Permission: Level 1]

(Attach a photo)

"..."

"Have you finished reading?"

Michael suddenly spoke, startling Michael.

"Look, it's over!"

Mikael took the tablet back and deftly deleted all records.

"Confidentiality principle, not a word is allowed to be leaked to outsiders. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, I understand!"

Michael unknowingly used honorifics. It was true that the guy in front of him was a "guard", but in the Fire Chaser system, status was not distinguished by position, but by authority level.

As a city official, his authority is level two, and the first level authority of this guard named "Casper" corresponds to the level of authority of the continental administrator of the Americas and the commander of the American branch of the Fire Chaser Moth. The holders of these two positions were transferred to the headquarters not long ago, and new appointments have not been issued. At least at this moment, this "Casper" and that "Dr. Akagi" are the personnel with the highest authority on this continent.

Mikael didn't know what he was thinking, but he suddenly leaned into his ear and whispered the first words:

"Don't think too much."

After saying that, Mikael took a step back, and Michael turned around, only to see him folding his hands in front of his chest and making a small gesture towards Michael in an extremely secretive manner.

It was a gesture that was common at least in China - the upper three fingers were stuck together and rubbed together.

"Well……"

What does it mean?

Seeing that he didn't understand, Mikael raised his eyebrows and rubbed his fingers again.

"Oh, I understand!"

Michael didn't understand, but looking at the squirming scars on Mikael's face, he was afraid that he would make the other party angry if he told the truth, so he decided to fool him first.

"I'm going to ask the doctor to come down now. As the mayor of Third New Paradise City and the first stop of this inspection, you must fulfill your duty as a landlord."

Michael looked at the lewd smile of the guy in front of him and seemed to understand something, but he was not sure.

When Mikael turned around and walked towards the plane, his staff and colleagues immediately surrounded him and asked him about the situation.

"Hey, Archangel, who are they?"

Obviously, the archangel was given the nickname Michael for some well-known reason. Fortunately, this nickname was not heard by Ellie, otherwise Michael, whose name has the same origin as Michael, would also be indispensable. Being called that.

"I can't say this..."

"So mysterious?"

Michael hurriedly shook his head to deny it, but quickly realized it and nodded instead. In fact, keeping things confidential is a kind of metaphysics. As long as someone knows something, the principle of confidentiality will definitely not be implemented.

Therefore, the so-called confidentiality is often not "keeping secrets from people who should not know", but "keeping secrets from those who ordered confidentiality but not keeping secrets".

Sounds like a tongue twister...but it's true. The identity of the special correspondent Poison Chrysalis is not a particularly important secret. In another time and place, Michael would not be able to keep his mouth shut. But Mikael hasn't gone far yet. Mikael seemed to have heard what he said teasing Mei just now. He didn't dare to make another mistake.

Most of the people also knew what was right, so they stopped asking questions when they saw this.

But at this time, Michael in turn grabbed two of his staff.

"What does it mean?"

He stretched out his thumb, index finger, and middle finger, pinched them together, and rubbed them gently.

"this……"

A staff member from China looked embarrassed. He wanted to speak but didn't dare.

"What are you afraid of? What does this mean?"

"Well...sir, in my hometown, this gesture means asking someone for money."

"Want money?"

"Well... it can also be understood as... asking for a bribe."

Michael's expression suddenly became very exciting——

Asking for a bribe?

The so-called Poison Chrysalis, an operator of the most mysterious organization of the Fire Chaser... That's it?

Michael silently covered his face, finding it difficult to accept it for a moment.

But he immediately became alert again—could he be fishing?

Mikael was naturally aware of all this. When he returned to the cabin, Mei had already taken advantage of this time to put her loose hair back into place.

"Plans changed and a great idea suddenly occurred to me."

"Um?"

Mei didn't act too surprised. From the moment Mikael got off the plane before her, the change of plan had been a tacit secret.

"So, what are you going to do?"

"Well, I did a little trick. There is a fool outside with the same name as me... Ah, no, the mayor of Third New Paradise City. He now thinks that we are special agents affiliated with Poison Chrysalis. My name is Casper, your name is Dr. Akagi..."

"Then what?"

"Tsk, if we go to investigate like this, even in disguise, they won't show us the truth, right? So, we have to break into the enemy."

"..."

Mei probably understood what Mikael meant, but even so, it might not be easy to see the real situation and obtain evidence.

"Mei, you have to think clearly that our purpose is not just an investigation. If that were the case, I could have all the information myself without alerting any city hall.

"But... what we need is effective management of the remaining two billion people, so that they can at least have an easier life after immigration. This is something that must be done with the help of these pesky bureaucrats. ——You cannot personally manage two billion people.

"Then we not only need to know what is happening at the bottom, but also understand the daily lives of these bureaucrats, their hidden rules, and their views on the Fire Chaser Moth headquarters."

"Of course I understand that."

Besides, if you give it a try, there will be no bad consequences even if you fail.

But hypocrisy and coercion will eventually make people feel sick.
