V3/Chapter 17: Mei, so you still exist.
It's a trap.
When Kevin saw the words "stage plan", he knew what he was going to do today.
As part of revealing the truth about Honkai to the world, the purpose of the stage plan is to let ordinary people know that Honkai is not invincible. Therefore, its content is mainly based on the battles of fusion warriors. On the one hand, it can boost the morale of ordinary people. On the other hand, it is also hoped that this method can be used for propaganda.
After all, after the whole world knows the truth about Honkai, the Fire Moth organization will completely emerge from darkness and step onto the stage of history.
However, these were not things Kevin needed to worry about. It was just that the scene before him reminded him of what happened more than ten days ago, when he had damaged his reputation due to a momentary carelessness and had not returned to the base for more than ten days.
And now, this group of people are actually using this method to mess with his mentality!
Kevin looked around with a heavy face, and his tone became sad: "You, you guys..."
All around him, Elysia and others were all present. Apparently, everyone had already reached an agreement to notify him last, so as to cut off their retreat and prevent him from escaping.
"I was going to tell you, Captain,"
Kosma in the corner raised his hands, "But Dys... Ngghhhhh!"
Before he could finish his words, Dystopia covered his mouth.
"I only found out the truth after I came here."
Sakura stood aside and whispered, "And Ai Yue didn't let me tell you."
"I'm sorry, Kevin,"
Even Dr. Mei looked at him with an embarrassed look, "But Ellie said that if we notify you in the usual way, you will definitely find an excuse not to come, so..."
"Mei, why are you fooling around with them?"
Kevin sighed, "Besides, I have already agreed to this plan, why do I have to participate in the internal review?"
"After all, you are the protagonist, so of course I have to consider your opinion."
Elysia came over with a smile, "Well, now that we're here, let's just take a look."
"Wait, where's Ai Yue?"
Kevin was still making his final struggle, "He is the one who contributed the most to this great eruption, right? Why doesn't he come!"
"Who can blame him for having such high authority? He would have cleared himself out long ago."
Elysia sighed regretfully, and was obviously still a little upset about it. "Besides, the battle records of the Ninth Herrscher are all in Ai Yue's hands. If he doesn't hand them over, we won't be able to edit them."
"Someone called me?"
As soon as Elysia finished speaking, Ai Yue walked in from the door. Seeing the people gathered here, he couldn't help but laugh: "Oh, everyone is here? Kevin is here too, it's really rare."
"What's so difficult about this? This is what you planned, right?"
Kevin sighed helplessly, "Ai Yue, I don't believe you weren't involved in this."
"Then you really blamed me wrongly. This matter was all done by Elysia."
Ai Yue came over with an evil smile on his face, "I originally proposed another plan, but it was unfortunately not passed."
"Another plan?"
Kevin gave a puzzled look, "What plan?"
"Play it on loop at the Fire Moth headquarters for ten days."
Ai Yue smiled and said, "This way you will definitely be able to see it, right?"
Kevin was silent for a while, then looked at Elysia: "Thank you, Elysia."
Compared to Ai Yue's devilish plan, Elysia is simply an angel.
If Ai Yue's plan is approved, Kevin will really have to consider living on another planet.
"You're welcome,"
Elysia smiled back, "We are good friends, right?"
"Well, I'm just letting you get used to it in advance,"
Ai Yue looked helpless, as if to say, 'Why can't you understand my good intentions?' "Anyway, this film will be released to the world in the end, so won't the result be the same by then?"
"That's right,"
Kevin sighed again, "So there's no other way?"
"Humans cannot survive without hope, but on the other hand, as long as they have hope, they will struggle to survive even if they live in hell."
Ai Yue shrugged. "So, if we want them to face the Honkai positively, we can't lack a 'hero' as a guide to give them hope."
As someone who can kill the Herrscher on his own, Kevin obviously needs to take on this responsibility.
"Now that things have come to this, I can only accept my fate."
Kevin hesitated to speak, and finally shook his head, "Forget it, let's see how the promotional video you have prepared for so long is going to turn out."
If it were in the past, Kevin might not have had any objection to such a plan. After all, he knew very well that he could not shirk this responsibility.
The reason why he can be so "sentimental" now is also because of the existence of Ai Yue - after all, he has a backer behind him, so he will be more or less weak.
Of course, such emotions will only be shown when facing familiar friends.
"Speaking of which, isn't Ato here?"
After everyone was in place, Kevin noticed that a familiar figure was missing. "He should be in the promotional video, right?"
"Ato has already seen it in advance, and he is very satisfied."
Elysia smiled and said, "Now that he has taken up his post, the time to train the new recruits is very tight, and he really can't spare the time."
"After all, he is the only instructor with real combat experience, and he needs to do many things personally."
Ai Yue said as he operated the equipment, "When you guys retreat to the second line, he will probably be relieved."
"If that day really comes, maybe there won't be a need for instructors anymore, right?"
Kosma said, "I will never leave the front line unless I defeat Honkai. But if Honkai is defeated, then there is no need for the Fusion Warriors to continue to exist, right?"
"Who knows?"
Ai Yue said meaningfully, "Even if we defeat Honkai, it doesn't mean the war is over - there is still a long way to go."
He didn't say anything else, but just projected the prepared video onto the screen in front of him. As the lights dimmed, the short film directed by Elysia finally appeared in everyone's field of vision.
"Oh, I'm still a little nervous."
Elysia laughed softly in Ai Yue's ear, "I didn't have this feeling when I watched it before. It's really strange."
"Before, you watched it as a producer, but now your a viewer, so of course it will be different,"
Ai Yue also responded in a low voice, "But don't worry, you did a good job, everyone will like it."
"That would be great."
Elysia's eyes curved slightly, revealing a hint of anticipation, "If I can convey what I want to express to everyone."
