[You learned Mobius’s name.]
[It was given by her mother before she died in childbirth; its meaning is infinity—symbolizing infinite possibilities.]
[Because her way of thinking differed from her peers, she had no so-called friends by her side.]
[Even her once kind and gentle father became irritable and prone to anger due to being afflicted by Honkai syndrome, often hitting and scolding Mobius.]
[And today happens to be Mobius’s ninth birthday, the day she decided to leave her father and fulfill her dream of human evolution.]
[Looking at the solitary and cold-faced Mobius, you try to invite her: if she has nowhere to go, would she like to come with you?]
[You know that beneath this girl’s seemingly cold and heartless exterior, her heart seethes with such intense love and hate.]
To be honest, abruptly inviting a quiet child you just met like this might look a bit unusual to outsiders.
But this was the future Dr.
Mobius—the very same genius who would change the world.
Even if the possibility of her accepting was slim, Shiro still wanted to give it a try.
[To your surprise, the solitary Mobius somehow accepted your invitation.]
[You took her and left the city.]
[As a Genius who could speak since birth—more accurately, a world-class Genius—Mobius possesses an incredibly powerful learning ability in numerous fields.]
[Therefore, in this relatively peaceful world where the Honkai has not yet fully erupted, you began traveling with Mobius while learning various kinds of knowledge.]
[The nine-year-old green-haired girl made her birthday wish.]
[She would bring about the complete evolution of humanity.]
[No matter what kind of disaster or disease, she would never let them threaten humanity.]
[This is a wish powerful enough to overturn the world.]
[But it is also the reason why the future Mobius would embark on that path.]
[You maintain an affirmative attitude toward this and smile at her dream.]
[Perhaps because of your approval, or perhaps because of the time you spent together, the bond between you and Mobius grew deeper, and she began to trust you completely.]
[You took her from one city to another.]
[Soon, a year passed.]
[On Mobius’s tenth birthday, you gave her her first truly meaningful birthday gift.]
[To be honest, if not for the world’s blessing, you would have almost missed the faint, fleeting smile at the corner of her mouth.]
Inside a detached apartment, the green-haired girl was leafing through the books in front of her, but as time passed, her eyes would occasionally glance toward the door.
Of course, this didn’t mean she was worried about the man who was out; she was just curious about what kind of birthday gift he would bring.
Yes, just curious about the gift.
(PS: As expected of the most stubborn Snake Snake in the Elysian Realm.)
With the sound of a key turning, a familiar voice came from the door: “Snake Snake, I’m back.”
Hearing this, the girl named Mobius cast a look of disdain.
This man had started calling her Snake Snake at some unknown point in time.
Faced with this slightly strange and unique nickname, the girl expressed her thoughts with a look of mild annoyance.
Unfortunately, what she didn’t know was that her tsundere reactions only made Shiro find her expressions amusingly endearing.
Shiro placed the birthday cake on the coffee table in the living room and reached behind him to pull out the birthday gift.
“Happy birthday!
I made this myself.
Do you like it, Snake Snake?”
Mobius looked closely and found that they were dolls of Shiro himself and Mobius.
Shiro stuffed the two dolls into Mobius’s hands and glanced casually at the world behind him.
If not for the world’s help, with his clumsy hands, he almost wouldn’t have been able to finish the two little dolls.
This was the first time Mobius had received a birthday gift, and her usually calm face couldn’t help but show a faint smile.
Although the girl quickly realized and returned to her usual expression, Shiro, with the world’s blessing, had already seen her expression clearly.
I really should have taken a photo just now, but if I did, it might have annoyed Snake Snake, Shiro thought randomly.
With the chirping of birds outside the window, the blowing breeze, and the warm sunlight, Shiro and Mobius kept each other company inside.
Time passed slowly in this calm and peaceful atmosphere.
[Soon the girl turned eleven, and at the same time, she began to show an interest in the field of genetic science.]
[The eleven-year-old girl very easily understood the shallower levels of genetic science.]
[When she was twelve, she began trying to write research papers.]
[When the papers were first published, they received recognition within a small circle.]
[At thirteen, you took her to another city to make it easier for her to learn more cutting-edge knowledge.]
[By the age of fourteen, Mobius had already published twelve papers and was somewhat famous in the field of genetic science.]
[To you, her research was like reading a heavenly book.
If you had loaded a scholar template, there might have been a slim chance you could keep up with Mobius’s pace.]
[At fifteen, Mobius would occasionally look at you when you weren’t paying attention, her eyes filled with an indefinable emotional hue.]
[Her demeanor grew more composed and serene, her presence gradually accumulating the calm focus of a dedicated researcher.]
[She spent her time quietly observing the world, like a lone emerald hidden in the soft shadows, glowing with a brilliant intellect.]
[At sixteen, she became famous in the world of genetic science, and her published papers received international acclaim.]
[At seventeen, she began to obsess over various experiments.]
[Some were good, some were bad.]
[For the general public, some of the experiments were unacceptable.]
[However, you did not stop her, because this was Mobius; you would not forcibly interfere with her.]
[Finally, on Mobius’s eighteenth birthday, you meticulously prepared a coming-of-age gift for her.]
Mu Continent!
Night fell.
In a prime real estate area, villas stood one after another.
Inside one of the villas, the lights in the first-floor hall remained bright.
Buried in work at a desk was a tall, green-haired Damselette.
The Damselette appeared to be eighteen or nineteen years old, about 1.7 meters tall, with an expression that conveyed a coldness that kept people at a distance.
Her features had fully matured, possessing a dangerous and cold beauty.
Like a brilliant serpent hidden in the twilight, she carried an air of mystery and sharp elegance that fascinated anyone who dared to look closely.
She was working on the final summary of a certain paper.
Only upon final completion did the Damselette open the invitation she had received today.
Mobius picked up the invitation and scanned it quickly.
“The United Nations organization is inviting me to a secret meeting?”
After reading the whole thing, Mobius reached a concise conclusion.
Ignoring the pleasantries and formalities, the overall meaning was very simple.
The green-haired Damselette sat upright, with only the golden earrings hidden beneath her long hair swaying slightly in the breeze.
This was a memento left to him by his mother.
Along with the name Mobius.
Setting the invitation aside, Mobius did not move for a long time.
In just a few short years, she had become a famous scholar on the Mu Continent through her research papers in genetic science.
Her name as a Genius was renowned worldwide.
In addition, Mobius’s achievements in other fields were also not insignificant.
Therefore, she knew the weight of this invitation; if she were alone, she would certainly have gone without hesitation.
But at the thought of a certain figure, even she, who was always decisive, had moments of hesitation.
