Chapter 53: Unscrupulous Scientists Seduced Innocent Underage Girls
Just when Dr. Mei and others were clearly arranged by Prometheus, a gray-haired girl was looking for something in the airport.
She finally stopped in front of a small special helicopter, took out her cell phone, and compared the information in the mission text message.
"12C...is this the one?"
She hesitantly walked forward and knocked on the cabin door. Soon, the cabin door opened from the inside, revealing a white-haired man wearing a mask.
"Hello, I'm Hua from the Fifth Reconnaissance Team." The girl who called herself Hua showed her badge and ID, "I'm here to participate in the mission."
"Hmm." The masked man snorted, not sure if it was a greeting or to show that he understood Hua's meaning, but he immediately stepped aside and gave up his seat, motioning the girl to come up, "Go talk to him if you have anything to say."
"Oh well."
Hua was stunned for a moment, then boarded the plane. She didn't care much about the masked man's attitude. After all, since that incident, her reputation within the Fire Moth had gradually declined, and she was more accustomed to acting alone even when performing missions.
Besides, how many people in the Fire Moth were not special? In this place, you could meet many eccentric people on the way to the cafeteria for a meal, so it was not surprising to see a masked man who didn't like to talk.
'However, that masked man...have I seen any related topics on the intranet recently?'
Sitting on the seat beside her, Hua was thinking about many things, but soon someone interrupted her thoughts: "Hello, your name is Hua, right? Can I call you by your name directly?"
A young man wearing glasses walked over from the co-pilot seat in the cockpit. He looked very friendly, with a gentle smile on his face. He stretched out his hand while speaking, and seemed to be a very enthusiastic person.
A cold masked man and a passionate glasses man, what a strange combination...
"No problem, just call me Hua." Hua thought to herself, and at the same time looked at the other person twice more, "Are you the person in charge of this mission?"
"Yes, just call me Ai Yue." Ai Yue nodded. "Come to think of it, we are from the same hometown."
"Is that so?" Hua also smiled in agreement, and soon found the other party's identity from her memory - Dr. Ai Yue, who should be the new scholar who has recently become famous on the internal network. It is said that he used a valuable patent to exchange for a...
Hua suddenly froze when she thought of this. She turned her head to look at the masked man on the other side and finally connected everything in front of her - since the man with glasses was Dr. Ai Yue, then the masked man should be the prisoner Kalpas who was fished out from the abyss.
"Don't be nervous. Kalpas is not scary at all." Ai Yue seemed to see Hua's nervousness, so he comforted her, "You'll know once you get to know him better. He's actually very easy to get along with."
Hua didn't know what to say, so she just nodded.
While the two were talking, the plane started to move and flew smoothly into the sky. Hua was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the cabin: "Uh, Dr. Ai Yue, are there only three of us on this mission?"
Hua wasn't surprised at first when she was selected from the entire team in the mission message, because the Fire Moth often had the tradition of drawing individual members from different teams to form temporary teams to carry out missions, so she was used to it.
But she had never seen a makeshift team of only three people, not to mention a scholar among them. They could not be regarded as a fighting force at all.
In other words, only two people are needed for this mission?
She couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"A secret mission will fail easily if too many people are called in." Ai Yue explained briefly, "Don't worry, the mission is not risky."
Hua looked at him with some surprise, then nodded and said nothing more.
She was used to following orders, and in the past, when she proposed similar tasks, she would always get answers like "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask." If the other party was willing to explain, she could be considered amiable.
'But why choose me?'
Hua is not a sociable person, so in her free time on weekdays, she actually likes to browse various posts on the Fire Moth intranet. Although she basically does not speak, she enjoys the lively atmosphere of the forum.
Therefore, she also learned that the seemingly young and easy-going scholar in front of her was actually a very powerful guy - he was introduced to the Fire Moth by Dr. Mei herself, and the first invention patent he produced attracted the covetousness of various forces. At the same time, he had a very close relationship with Dr. Mobius, which could be said to have surpassed her favorite assistant Klein. In addition, people often saw him getting along with various fusion warriors on an equal footing, and some people even saw the mysterious director of the weapons research and development department, Vill-V, entering and leaving the other party's laboratory.
It can be said that the other party has a certain relationship with the middle-level people of the Fire Moth. Why would such a person choose herself to participate in the mission?
Hua didn't express her doubts, but that didn't mean Ai Yue wouldn't ask.
"Are you wondering why I chose you?" He seemed to see the girl's inner struggle, so he asked. After Hua nodded, Ai Yue continued, "I have read your information. Whether it is comparing various abilities and qualities or looking at your past resume, you are definitely one of the best fighters in the Fire Moth . What's more, you are from the same hometown as me. In this case, I will naturally choose you."
In fact, Ai Yue was also a little surprised when he saw Hua's information.
In the original plot, Hua in this era cannot be regarded as the protagonist of the story, so her description is also very simple. In addition, the important characters active in this period are all brilliant people. Under their brilliance, Hua seems even more mediocre.
However, as long as you get to know this girl carefully, you will find that her strength is by no means as simple as that of an ordinary soldier.
When the Seventh Herrscher had not yet awakened and was still just a human named "Himeko", Hua was already the backbone of the opposing team, responsible for dealing with the Honkai disaster in the entire Australian continent. At that time, Himeko believed that Hua was the most likely to become a warrior alongside Kevin and others.
Later, the Seventh Herrscher awakened, and the Fifth Team led by Himeko was instantly destroyed. Only Hua escaped from the opponent and saved Eden, which was enough to prove the opponent's strength.
Not to mention that Hua is now serving as the spearhead in the Fifth Reconnaissance Team. This position requires her to bear the most dangerous and important responsibilities in the mission, but Hua can not only complete every mission perfectly, but also have the energy to take care of other teammates.
She possessed such outstanding strength before becoming a fusion warrior, so it is no wonder that after becoming a fusion warrior, Kevin had high hopes for her and believed that she could go further than anyone else.
Of course, these things are still too far away for Hua now. What Ai Yue values now is actually the good compatibility between her and "The Eighth Divine Key: Fenghuang Down". This compatibility, coupled with some wonderful fate between her and the Eighth Herrscher in her later life, makes Ai Yue believe that Hua can play an important role in this plan against the Eighth Herrscher.
