"Kaslana?!"
This surname struck Yun Feng's mind like a bolt of lightning, almost making him blurt it out.
The City of the Future, unconventional information, capable of making someone like Yang trust unconditionally... connecting these clues pointed to a surname that was both renowned and mysterious in certain circles—Kaslana!
The people of that family, their very existence was like a walking legend. Their "intuition" and "judgment" were often proven by facts to be preternaturally accurate.
...But no matter how you put it, a legend that could travel through time and space was still a bit too much!!
The moment he thought the final answer was those two words, Yun Feng felt like he had seen a person from Shenzhou appear in a mystery novel, a sense of powerlessness as if all his strength had been drained.
Logic?
What f*cking logic do they have.
Just like the events of "the murderer entered the locked room because a Shenzhou native can perform bone shrinking," "the deceased's head was not crushed by a heavy blunt object, but because the culprit had practiced Iron Sand Palm," and "the culprit escaped from a sheer cliff by using qinggong."
Once Kaslana appeared in a logical deduction, the matter would suddenly become particularly... simple and abstract.
There must have been a Kaslana who traveled back from the future and told the people of the City of the Future that a major disaster would break out in the future!
Don't ask me why something like time travel would happen. Go talk to the [Miracle] that Kaslana represents.
Joachim looked at the complex expression on Yun Feng's face, a mixture of "as expected" and "speechless," and the helpless chuckle on his face finally widened into a genuine smile, with a hint of understanding and apology.
"It seems... you are well aware of the meaning this surname represents," Joachim's tone also relaxed a little, even with a hint of teasing.
"Sometimes, accepting certain 'illogical' existences is a necessary skill to cope with the complexity of this world.
"Especially when this 'illogical' is directly linked to life and death."
He spread his hands and made a "you know" expression. "After all, compared to surviving, dwelling on how they 'knew', or how 'unscientific' the process was, seems... not so important, right?"
Yun Feng let out a long breath, as if accepting his fate, and rubbed his temples. "Fine, you're right."
"When it comes to things related to the Kaslanas, if I get serious, I lose."
He had completely given up on delving into the logic of the matter and instead turned his attention back to the most practical issue. "Then, Mr. Yang, 'enlightened' by the Kaslanas, let's skip the principles and move on to the practical stage.
"Besides foretelling the disaster, did they give any... um... rather 'Kaslana-style' advice?"
Joachim was instantly silent. Did he dare to say that Kallen had really said in the meeting, "As long as everyone unites as one, we can definitely overcome the difficulties"?
Yun Feng looked at Joachim's silence and almost couldn't hold back his expression. He took the initiative to bypass this topic that would only make both of them awkward and moved the conversation away from the Kaslanas.
"So, what can I do?"
Yun Feng had already tacitly accepted that he was someone who could pass the two rounds of screening in the [Honkai], at least to the extent that a Kaslana could remember him firmly.
He was excellent enough, and with a "little" bit of luck, the possibility of him achieving great things after the Honkai was very high.
"To be honest, after the Honkai outbreak, Mr. Yun Feng established a shelter in the chaotic center of Sapphire City, saving and sheltering a total of one hundred and forty-three lives.
"And these one hundred and forty-three lives became the foundation of [Fire Moth] in the future. It can be said, Mr. Yun Feng, that you saved the spark of civilization, allowing it to continue burning in the ruins."
"Fire Moth?" Yun Feng was stunned. This sounded quite... chuunibyou. But in a future where civilization was almost destroyed, it was quite fitting.
But... what was it? Was it an organization established in the future to save humanity?
"Sounds like some... post-apocalyptic survivor mutual aid society, or... a secret organization dedicated to fighting monsters?"
"You can understand it that way," Joachim nodded, not minding Yun Feng's accurate complaint. Instead, he felt that this reaction was more authentic.
"It was spontaneously formed by survivors on the ruins of a collapsed civilization and later developed into the main force against the 'Honkai' and for guarding the embers of civilization.
"The meaning of the name is to guard the faint flame in the endless darkness and destruction, even if one is like a moth flying into the fire."
He looked at Yun Feng with respect in his eyes. "And the shelter you established, and the one hundred and forty-three people you sheltered, provided the most valuable human foundation and organizational prototype for the birth of 'Fire Moth' in the initial chaos and despair.
"You are not only their savior, but in a sense, also one of the founders of 'Fire Moth'."
This was a fact, personally narrated by Kallen and supplemented by Himeko.
But in fact, based on their unfamiliarity with the name "Yun Feng," Joachim vaguely sensed another fact.
Yun Feng was indeed one of the founders of Fire Moth. This was his true glory.
But he only had his glory left... Yun Feng himself may have already fallen before the dawn.
So this time, his purpose in finding Yun Feng was not only to give him the list of survivors so that he could "skillfully again" take over these survivors, but also to have him live longer.
As Yun Feng listened to Joachim's description, he couldn't help but imagine himself leading more than a hundred people struggling to survive in a city overrun by ruins and monsters.
That was definitely not a romantic adventure, but a struggle filled with blood, tears, mud, and despair.
But the identity of "founder" still stirred a complex emotion in his heart. There was heaviness, absurdity, and a tiny bit of... pride?
Pride, my ass!
What was there to be proud of in such a tragic future?!
Yun Feng shook his head, as if to shake off those unrealistic fantasies, and refocused on reality.
"You mentioned that I sheltered one hundred and forty-three people... which means that in the initial disaster and subsequent chaos, I could at least effectively control and protect this number of people... do you have a list of these people?"
"Yes," Joachim nodded seriously and took out the list he had prepared.
