Chapter 8: Just be a wild cat
Things went better than several people had expected.
Less than an hour later, Elysia received a specific reply.
"Dr. Mei and Kevin will both be here." Elysia looked at the reply on the communicator with a relaxed smile on her face, "The problem should be solved now."
Dr. Mei's authority within the Fire Moth is very high. Although she is still suppressed now, she is at least much stronger than Elysia and the others.
With her around, the matter at the nursing home can be concluded with an ending that everyone is happy to see.
"Then let's follow our previous agreement. Sakura will stay as a 'prisoner', and you and I will go to meet them." Ai Yue nodded, not too surprised by this result, "Let's try to finish it as soon as possible."
As he spoke, Ai Yue yawned - after all, he now only had the physique of an ordinary person, and he would still feel tired after not sleeping for such a long time.
"I understand." Sakura nodded without saying anything more.
Although she had to play the role of a prisoner, Sakura did not feel any resentment as a member of the Poison Pupa.
She even feels a little relieved when she thinks about being able to help those children live a better life.
'I wonder how Rin is doing now...'
"Ms. Sakura." Aponia's voice brought Sakura back to her senses, "Let's go to the sanatorium and wait."
"Speaking of which, there is something strange." After watching the three people leave here, Elysia suddenly asked, "There is another person, have you forgotten?"
"Who?" Ai Yue didn't react for a moment.
"Little Pardo!" Elysia was surprised. "Have you really forgotten her? That child tried her best to save you before."
"Oh, her." Ai Yue finally realized what the other party meant. "Pardofelis was not in my plan from the beginning."
"Why?" Elysia looked at him strangely, "Because she doesn't have the same abilities as you, so you despise her?"
If you think about it carefully, this statement is reasonable. After all, Ai Yue, Aponia and Kalpas all have their own strengths, and only Pardofelis is just a thief. Putting these four people together will somewhat create a feeling of "You are not here to be a mascot, are you?"
"Of course not." Ai Yue denied it naturally without any hesitation. "Pardo is a girl with no ambitions and no pursuits. She just wants to live a peaceful and leisurely life. So for her, the Fire Moth is not a good destination."
Although it cannot be seen on the surface, Ai Yue is very clear that from a certain perspective, Pardo's special ability is actually the most outrageous among them. Her incredible good luck may only be surpassed by Elysia's special identity.
But Pardo's yearning for freedom and leisure is obviously in conflict with the purpose of Fire Moth to eliminate Honkai. Instead of letting her enter Fire Moth with him and be bound by rules and regulations, it is better to let her be a free wild cat.
'After all, this time, with me here, she doesn't need to sacrifice herself.'
"So that's how it is." Elysia blinked and said thoughtfully, "But what if the child wants to go with you?"
"Then I certainly can't stop her." Ai Yue spread his hands, "So the decision is still in her hands."
"I understand." Elysia nodded with a smile, "I suddenly became curious, what choice will the child make?"
Ai Yue wanted to say something, but suddenly he heard slight noises coming from all around him. However, when he listened carefully, he could only hear faint sounds coming from above his head.
"Ah, Dr. Mei and the others are here." Elysia had obviously noticed something. She looked up at the sky and found a few flickering lights. She then took out a cold light stick from her tactical bag to guide the plane. "Hey~ Can you see it? Land here!"
Soon, two specially made helicopters landed, one in front and one behind, and stopped on a relatively flat open ground. Before the propellers completely stopped, the door of the front helicopter opened and a girl in a white coat and a ponytail walked out.
Ai Yue didn't even need to take a second look to confirm that the other person was Dr. Mei.
But in comparison, he was actually more curious about the people on the second plane.
Soon, the door of the second plane opened, and a young man with short silver hair and two pistols on his waist walked down.
Although he and Dr. Mei look the same age, for some reason he seems to be more aged.
"It turns out Kevin really has white hair." Ai Yue looked at the other party walking towards him and suddenly blurted out these words.
"Hey, did I tell you?" Elysia was confused for a moment, but then she gave up and walked towards Dr. Mei, "Hi~ Mei, long time no see!"
"We just had lunch together five days ago, Ellie." Dr. Mei sighed and quickly focused her attention on Ai Yue. "I guess this is Mr. Ai Yue from 'Twilight', right?"
What does "Twilight" mean to Mr. Ai Yue?
Ai Yue was stunned for a moment, then he saw Elysia blinking at him, and immediately realized that this was probably the name the other party gave to his so-called organization.
"Yes, I am."
Ai Yue nodded and then extended his hand. Dr. Mei also naturally extended her hand and shook hands with him as a greeting.
Neither of them paid much attention to it. Instead, Kevin, who was standing five meters away, couldn't help but take a step towards this side.
"Okay, now that the pleasantries are over, let's get down to business." Dr. Mei quickly got into work mode. "What's your plan?"
Ai Yue was stunned for a moment, then looked at Elysia.
"Oh, I used some secret code in my mission report to ask Mei for help," Elysia explained at this time, "otherwise it would be difficult for her, a busy person, to come directly, right?"
"And you guys don't intend to cover it up, do you?" Dr. Mei sighed, "Otherwise you should at least restrict Mr. Ai Yue's freedom of movement a little bit, instead of shaking hands with me on his own initiative like now."
"Hehe, because I know you will definitely help me, Mei." Elysia leaned over affectionately, "Mei, you are the best!"
Kevin on the side finally spoke up at this time: "I think it's better to get down to business quickly."
His voice was warmer than Ai Yue had imagined, and one could even discern the emotions in it more clearly. It was obvious that Kevin at this time had not yet experienced the series of misfortunes that had gradually driven him insane.
"To put it simply, we want to join the Fire Moth." At this point, Ai Yue got straight to the point, "I hope the Fire Moth can meet some of our conditions."
