“Leave quickly!
This is the First Research Institute, not a place where just anyone can come and go as they please!” Mobius could do nothing about Elysia’s coquettish behavior and could only stiffen her face, pointing toward the door and saying coldly.
As she spoke, her peripheral vision caught sight of Elysia’s small feet, which were shoeless and only covered in white socks.
Mobius frowned again and said— “Also, this is a ward.
I don’t expect you to be dressed as neatly as a trained medical professional, but at least put on your shoes.
I don’t want you getting hurt here and having someone come to cause me trouble.” “Hee hee, I knew Mobius cared about me the most~?” Facing Mobius’s cold words, Elysia’s smile remained, though she obediently took two steps back, “But Mobius could be a bit more honest when she speaks, you know~?!” “…” Mobius stared at Elysia for a moment, then shook the hand pointing toward the door— “Get out!” “Then I won’t disturb you two for now~?” Elysia said, turning her gaze toward Gwyn, her lips pursed into a cute arc— “Then goodbye for now, shall we chat again later?” “Yeah, goodbye.” Gwyn waved with a smile, watching Elysia leave the ward with light, quick steps.
“You’re close with her?” Mobius glanced at Gwyn from the corner of her eye.
“We only just met before you woke up…
a very enthusiastic and pretty girl.” Gwyn shrugged, then asked curiously, “Did something happen that makes you dislike her so much?” If he remembered correctly, there shouldn’t have been any bad blood between them.
At most, it was a natural clash of personalities that left the habitually assertive Mobius unable to deal with Elysia.
“No, but she is the ace of the Executive Department—the people behind the laboratory that imprisoned you previously are also part of the people behind the Executive Department.” Mobius glared at him, her voice cold.
As she spoke, Mobius reached into her pocket and took out a blood collection tube, the liquid inside shimmering brilliantly in the bright morning sun.
Gently shaking the tube to let Gwyn see the liquid inside more clearly, Mobius’s lips curled into a dangerous arc— “Rather than hitting on pretty girls, you had better worry about yourself first—your vital signs suddenly became chaotic last night, and this is the blood I drew from you during the emergency treatment.” “My blood…” Lifting his hand to take the blood collection tube from Mobius, Gwyn murmured softly while carefully examining the blood that shimmered like gold in the sunlight.
“Although previous experiments all failed, the changes in your body now could still be considered a new experimental breakthrough by those idiots.
In other words, as long as your abnormalities are discovered, you will immediately be targeted by those people.” Seeing that Gwyn’s attention seemed to be entirely on the golden blood, Mobius sat back down on the stool by the bed, arms crossed, and shook her head slightly— “No, to be accurate, you have always been watched by them—as the only survivor there, as long as you are alive for one day, those ‘big shots’ will wish to get rid of you as soon as possible.” “Before, your honkai sickness was life-threatening, so they could wait for you to die on your own.
But once the news of your recovery spreads, you will be met with all sorts of overt and covert attacks.” “And once your abnormalities are exposed, they will only want to capture you and squeeze you dry of all your value; it wouldn’t even matter if they only got a corpse—you have stayed in such a laboratory, so you should be very clear about their utter lack of scruples.” Mobius’s voice was cold, and her expression had turned icy along with her words, “Moreover, your most fundamental traits are manifested in your blood, which makes it very easy for people to notice.
When that time comes…” As she spoke, Mobius leaned slightly forward, her slowly approaching cold expression seeming to carry an invisible pressure that made the entire ward feel stifling— “Who else can protect you?” “…” Making eye contact with Mobius’s eyes, which resembled those of a snake, Gwyn was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and shook the blood collection tube in his hand— “Isn’t there still you, Doctor?” “To be able to have our beautiful, kind-hearted, knowledgeable, and stern Dr.
Mobius say so much, I must at least still have research value, right?” “It couldn’t be that our usually stern Dr.
Mobius said all this just because I spoke a few words with Miss Elysia, could it?” “Hmph…” Seeing that Gwyn still had a brilliant smile, as if he hadn’t been affected at all by what she had said earlier, Mobius let out a soft huff.
Just as Gwyn was waiting for Mobius to deliver her habitual prickly attitude, he didn’t expect Mobius to say something shocking— “Don’t look at her acting like an immature little girl; she is already pushing thirty—” ?
Mobius watched the look of astonishment on Gwyn’s face and revealed a “gentle” smile— “What, can’t accept that the beautiful girl you just met is ten years older than you?” “It’s just…
a bit surprising.” Gwyn shook his head, frowning slightly, a wave of doubt in his heart— “Although the plot in my memories basically didn’t mention Elysia’s age, and the timeline in the Previous Era plot was also very vague, at least back when the two troublemakers Danzhu and Cangxuan hadn’t arrived yet, Elysia should have been at most twenty-something…
It couldn’t be a trick, could it…
Calling someone in their twenties ‘pushing thirty’ doesn’t seem to be a problem.” Suddenly thinking of the way Mobius had just tried to scare and intimidate him, Gwyn’s gaze toward Mobius suddenly became clear.
Seeing Gwyn looking at her, and unaware of what he was thinking, Mobius tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, gathered her thoughts, and said seriously: “I know Elysia is well-liked, but she is also affiliated with the Executive Department—it was she who brought you to me in the dead of night not long ago, and she has been in confinement for violating regulations by bringing you here.
If you don’t want her to be put in a difficult position due to tasks related to you assigned by the higher-ups, it’s best to stay away from her.” “…Doctor, you really are a good person.” Hearing this, Gwyn couldn’t help but smile; his previous doubts were instantly answered.
Mobius’s cold words, besides being an act for him to see and as a setup for her previous speech, were also meant to protect Elysia.
“A good person?” Mobius huffed, “I don’t want to be any ‘good person’.” “Bad people love to say they are good people, while good people often feel there are many things they haven’t done well enough.” Gwyn smiled and teased.
“…” Looking at Gwyn’s youthful, beaming face, Mobius suddenly glared at him with some impatience— “Where does a little brat like you get so many grand principles—” As she spoke, she suddenly changed the subject— “You haven’t been intimidated by my words so far, nor have you raised any questions; it seems you’ve discovered that your honkai sickness has been alleviated?”
