Chapter 81: Negotiations at the Remake Cafe

The hot summer has just passed, and there seem to be more people on the streets than usual. The air-conditioned coffee shop has become a "feng shui treasure land" for many people to escape the heat.

At this moment, in the busy coffee shop, the bell at the door rang, accompanied by a voice of "Welcome", and a white-haired man walked in and walked into the back without even looking.

He came to a table where only one person was present and sat down without any hesitation.

"You are very punctual, Mr. Yao Luo."

Sitting opposite Yao Luo was a seemingly ordinary office worker. He was not like the agents in some TV dramas and movies who wore black suits and sunglasses even indoors.

The man looked very peaceful, like an office worker who had just got off work. His coat was rolled up on the seat next to him, and the tie around his neck was tied very neatly. If Yao Luo had not been notified in advance, he would probably not have been able to tell that he was an elite among the elites in the United Nations, an agent of the Fire Moth.

"I'm afraid your people have already occupied this cafe?"

Although his tone was questioning, Yao Luo looked around and saw that whether it was the skilled barista or the men and women who were complaining next to them, everything was so coordinated, even a little too coordinated.

"Technically speaking, the whole street is full of our people."

The man corrected Yao Luo's language problem very tactfully, and at the same time gave him a warning of not too small a degree.

The implication is, "We have surrounded this place, please do not act rashly."

"Oh~" Yao Luo heard the man's hidden meaning, and stared at the man in front of him with indifferent silver eyes. A mental wave that was difficult for a normal person to exert enveloped the surroundings.

For a moment, the entire coffee shop and the busy flow of people seemed to stop for a moment, as if time was suspended.

Because everyone felt mentally a sense of oppression as if they were being stared at by a huge beast, and for a moment they were unable to move.

Only the original liquid ground by the coffee machine was slowly falling down, making the scene look very strange.

"What a good trick! This trick of yours was not mentioned in the report."

However, unexpectedly, even though the people around him had been stunned by the mental fluctuations and unable to move, the man in front of Yao Luo seemed unaffected. He even smiled and applauded Yao Luo.

"This man must have done some kind of hypnosis and suggestion on himself." Yao Luo thought to himself.

"You don't seem afraid of me? Aren't you afraid that my hands, which have taken so many lives, might take your head off accidentally?" Yao Luo's tone became playful, and one hand stretched forward with a slightly aggressive feeling, as if he could attack at any time.

"You won't do it." The man said confidently, "And even if you crush a tiny ant like me to death, it won't have any impact on the organization's plan, so please stop trying to stop me and just listen to us."

The hand that was stretched forward suddenly stopped, and the mental fluctuations disappeared freely in the air. The quiet air in the cafe was suddenly filled with the sound of panting, as if one could not breathe just now.

"Whoosh..."

Some of the citizens disguised as agents around them put their hands on their chests and breathed heavily, while some who were close, such as the agent sitting in the back row behind the two men, had even fainted, with their heads falling heavily on the table.

The man sitting opposite Yao Luo didn't care at all. He picked up a paper report from the sofa that was pressed by his coat, turned it over and pushed it in front of Yao Luo.

He made a gesture of invitation, indicating Yao Luo to read.

Yao Luo moved his eyes downward, but still maintained his attention on the man's movements.

"The exploration mission to the town of Vostok-51 failed!"

The first thing that caught his eye was this title, and the words contained in it made Yao Luo's pupils shrink slightly.

"It seems you know this place?"

Although it was only a brief moment, the man opposite noticed the slight change in Yao Luo's expression as if he had caught lightning, and asked Yao Luo in a tentative tone.

Yao Luo simply shook his head, "No."

There was no flaw in his tone and actions, which made the Fire Moth, who was well versed in psychology, hesitate.

"Was it just my illusion? I clearly observed that when he saw the report, he instinctively had some slight cognitive neural reactions. My judgment should be correct, but some people are born with the ability to suppress their lying reactions. We should not make a hasty judgment."

I have to say that this agent is definitely a master. Not only can he give himself psychological hints to a certain extent, he is also proficient in observing micro-expressions. Fortunately, Yao Luo has mastered the skills of controlling muscles and nerves, and can use mental power to completely cover up nerve signals. Even if there are 100 lie detectors connected to his body, they cannot detect his true thoughts.

Yao Luo finished reading the report quickly. The story was not complicated. It was about the Fire Moths conducting a search in a small town called Swartok. The reason was that an unprecedented energy fluctuation broke out in the town, and the surrounding land, plants and animals had changed to a certain extent. However, no matter how they searched, they could not find the source of the energy explosion. Soon, the second and third reports were placed on the table. The contents of the reports were similar, and the source pointed to one thing: a disaster unique to this planet.

"Collapse".

"I think Mr. Yao Luo should have a certain understanding of Honkai, or you know more than us."

The Fire Moth agent put on a serious attitude and began to explain.

"The development of modern technology has been stagnant for a long time. Although there are Honkai phenomena of varying sizes in various places, people all over the world are still basically at a stage where they know nothing about Honkai. We at Fire Moth also want to maintain this vision."

"Of all the Honkai disasters that have occurred so far, the damage you caused in the neighboring city was the most devastating. Logically speaking, you have already stood on the opposite side of humanity, and we should ruthlessly exterminate you."

Yao Luo looked at the man in front of him and knew that he had not finished speaking.

"but……"

As soon as these two words came out, the man's tone was filled with helplessness.

"Our superiors requested that you be kept under observation because the damage you caused did not endanger all of humanity, and you previously displayed personality traits that were no different from those of a normal person at Chiba Academy."

"We, the Fire Chasing Moth, intend to invite you to join our organization to jointly study the Honkai phenomenon. If you agree, we can forgive your previous acts of sabotage."

As he spoke, an electronic document was pushed in front of Yao Luo. Below the document was an information collection card that could record fingerprints.

Silence. The agent's identity had been discovered, and the people around him did not disguise themselves accordingly. They were all staring at Yao Luo on the table, some of them clenched their fists, and some of them looked forward to his answer.

Although some of these people might have died in previous battles, obeying orders is a soldier's duty. Once Yao Luo agrees to join, nominally, they cannot take action against Yao Luo.

"I'd like your response before I finish this cup of coffee."

As he spoke, the agent began to pick up the steaming coffee cup next to him, as if he wanted to increase the pressure on Yao Luo's judgment by doing so.

Yao Luo clasped his hands together under his chin, closed his eyes, and was thinking.

His purpose of coming to this world was simple, to increase his own strength and broaden his memory.

However, the existence that attacked him once again intends to put him in danger, and he does not have much time left. If he cannot find a way to break the impasse this time, or know the true identity of the mastermind to a certain extent, even if he returns to the Star Train world again, the situation will not change, so...

"Okay, I agree."

A finger pressed heavily on the electronic screen, and the X-ray scan quickly recorded Yao Luo's fingerprint. The machine next to it also recorded the sound at the same time. The Fire Moth agent immediately showed joy on his face. This difficult task was finally completed by him.

After all, not everyone can withstand the psychological pressure of facing a "beast" that can tear them apart at any time.

He had seen the video of Yao Luo fighting against the army before, and he knew that if Yao Luo wanted to take action, no matter how fast the sniper outside the window was, Yao Luo would be able to kill him before the bullet penetrated his head.

He loosened the tie around his neck slightly, and a voice came from the other side.

"But I want to remind you..."

The agent looked at Yao Luo with a serious look in his eyes, and the seriousness contained in his eyes made the agent, who had already been given psychological hints, feel creepy.

"When facing the Herrscher who may appear next, don't treat him like you did to me!"

After saying this, in front of the agent's horrified expression, Yao Luo's figure gradually became blurred, and he slowly retreated backwards, like a piece of glass about to break, and finally disappeared from the spot with a snap.

"!"

The agents in the cafe immediately took action, surrounding the table with weapons in hand, but no matter how they scanned, they could not see Yao Luo again, as if he had never been there.

The negotiating agent fell silent as he looked at the fingerprint collection board on the table which showed "Entry successful".
