Chapter 9: Everything I have today is thanks to my talent!
Ai Yue briefly explained the situation of the Twilight Street Sanatorium and proposed conditions for himself and others.
The content is actually very simple - it is hoped that the patients and children in the sanatorium can be properly accommodated, and at the same time, Kalpas and Aponia must enjoy the treatment of normal members.
Ai Yue knew very well that both Kalpas and Aponia had many problems. Kalpas himself was a time bomb, and only gave him some face because he saved the children. Aponia looked like a normal person, but her cursed ability could cause a disaster even more terrible than Kalpas's.
Therefore, the best way to avoid disaster is not to stimulate them.
Kalpas is okay. As long as he can fight against Honkai, he may not care about anything else, but Aponia is different.
According to Ai Yue's idea, it would be best to prevent Aponia from becoming a fusion warrior, so as to eliminate the possibility of strengthening the discipline ability again - anyway, he has many means to enhance their combat effectiveness, even if they loses a rare spiritual fusion warrior, it is not a pity.
As for the "Commandments" that were later developed based on Aponia's abilities, it is even less important.
This is also the reason why Ai Yue hopes that Dr. Mei can be present - apart from her, the opinions of the few people present combined may not be enough to make the top management of the Fire Moth change their minds.
"I understand the situation." Dr. Mei listened to Ai Yue's statement and nodded, "If this is all you want, then I can make the decision personally."
At this point, she changed the subject: "Correspondingly, I also have a request. I wonder if Mr. Ai Yue can agree to it?"
Ai Yue had anticipated this: "I'm all ears."
"The organization 'Twilight' must be disbanded after you join the Fire Moth." Dr. Mei said, "Of course, this does not force you to cut off contact with each other and become strangers, but the Fire Moth cannot form small groups with too close relationships. You should understand, right?"
Although it is inevitable that there will be small interest groups within a large organization, if this clause is not included in the established conditions, Ai Yue and his companions will definitely be ostracized within the Fire Moth and may even be closely monitored by the upper echelons.
After all, each of the three of them has unique skills and is not an ordinary person. A small group that existed before joining the organization is not conducive to their integration into the new environment.
"Of course." Ai Yue naturally understood Dr. Mei's concerns. "Don't worry, we will never act under the name of 'Twilight' in the future."
After all, this thing didn't exist in the first place.
"Then our temporary agreement is established." Dr. Mei nodded casually, "The subsequent specific operations will be handed over to Elysia to carry out."
"Eh?" Elysia, who was still trying to hold back her laughter, was stunned for a moment, "Why me?"
"Because you are free now, right?" Dr. Mei looked at her with a smile, "I will discuss the specific conditions with the higher-ups, but the matter of Twilight Street will be left to you."
"I will be able to give you a formal reply in three days at the latest." Deliberately ignoring Elysia's coquetry, Dr. Mei looked at Ai Yue again, "In the next three days, I'll trouble you to help Elysia deal with the matter of Twilight Street."
When Dr. Mei said this, the subtext was "I will handle the matters with my superiors." This sentence is more meaningful than any other sweet talk.
"Then I'll have to trouble Dr. Mei to negotiate with the big shots." Ai Yue handed the blueprint of the Honkai Energy Adsorption Device to the other party very straightforwardly, "This thing may be able to help you."
"This is..." Dr. Mei flipped through it briefly, then immediately showed a surprised expression and looked at Ai Yue, "Did you do this alone?"
As a scientist, Dr. Mei's eyes were much sharper than Elysia's, so she could naturally see the extraordinary features of this design at a glance.
After seeing Ai Yue nod, Dr. Mei smiled expectantly: "In this way, perhaps the result will be more perfect than you and I imagined."
"Is that thing really that powerful?"
After Dr. Mei took Kevin away, Elysia asked Ai Yue, "It's really rare to see Dr. Mei showing this expression."
"The same thing naturally has different values in the eyes of different people." Ai Yue replied, "What's more, in addition to its own value, this thing actually conveys another message."
"What message?"
Ai Yue shamelessly spread out his hands, pretending to be "very good": "This is what I researched in Twilight Street. As you can see, there is a lack of supplies and the conditions are poor..."
"So if you have better conditions," Elysia understood what Ai Yue meant, "you can achieve higher achievements?"
Ai Yue smiled slightly and did not answer the question directly.
After all, no matter how pretentious he is, he still knows very well where his "abilities" come from.
Meanwhile, at the nursing home, Sakura also received news from Elysia.
"The matter is probably resolved." After reading the cute messages, Sakura smiled slightly. "Dr. Mei has made a promise. There will be a formal response in three days."
"That's great." Aponia's calm face also showed a slight fluctuation, "Thank you again for your help, Miss Sakura."
If Sakura and Elysia hadn't been so easy to talk to, I'm afraid this matter would never have been resolved peacefully.
"It doesn't matter. I'm just going with the flow." Sakura shook her head. "The one who really contributed to this matter is Mr. Ai Yue."
From calming the restless situation, to persuading Elysia and the other two, to negotiating with Dr. Mei, all of this was actually done by Ai Yue as the leader. Sakura could feel that everything that happened tonight was under the other party's control. Even if the negotiations broke down and had to end in violence, he still had a corresponding plan.
'By that time, I guess it would be difficult for me to drink tea in the church so leisurely.'
While thinking, Sakura suddenly felt Aponia's gaze, and the other party's eyes were now focused on her head.
"Excuse me, Miss Sakura." After making sure that the matter was resolved, Aponia finally couldn't suppress her curiosity, "Are these ears real?"
"…It's true."
Sakura wanted to avoid the topic, but considering that the two of them would probably be colleagues in the future, she answered the question anyway: "This is a side effect that you have to endure in order to gain power. Please don't keep staring at it. It's a bit... embarrassing."
"I see." Aponia nodded and closed her mouth thoughtfully.
