“Who’s talking?”
Mobius frowned.
Very few people in the entire Flame-Chasers dared to call her name so directly.
This voice was also completely unfamiliar to her, so she spoke up.
Seeing Mobius react, Elysia’s eyes lit up.
“Aww, it looks like dear Mobius can hear this person’s thoughts just like me.”
Mobius turned to look at her.
“Is this what you were talking about in the lab earlier?”
“Mm-hmm, of course♪~”
When Elysia confirmed it, a strange smile appeared on Mobius’s lips.
“How interesting.
Is this something that can be done with Honkai energy?”
Just as she was about to push the door open and confront the person, Elysia grabbed her hand.
“That person doesn’t seem to know we can hear his thoughts right now.
It’s better not to alert him.
Otherwise, we might not be able to hear him anymore.”
Hearing Elysia’s words, Mobius actually thought about the suggestion seriously for once.
Elysia was right.
Although she really wanted to drag him over for research, the information in his thoughts was clearly more important right now.
The MANTIS plan was only a rough idea in her mind, yet this guy already knew exactly what she was going to do.
That was truly curious.
Thinking of this, Mobius couldn’t help licking her lips.
A strange green light flickered in her eyes as she stared at Yu Muyang, who was still cleaning.
The venomous snake had already locked onto its prey.
“Achoo… is someone thinking about me?”
Yu Muyang rubbed his nose and scratched his head in confusion.
Logically, no one should know him yet.
They were just colleagues, not close enough to think about him.
[Never mind.
It’s still safe for now.
Or rather, as long as I stay inside Flame-Chasers headquarters before the 7th Herrscher appears, I should be fine.
I’m just a logistics worker.
My current strength is enough for self-defense.]
“Before the 7th Herrscher?”
Mobius’s eyes flickered with thought when she heard that.
Just from those words alone, she could already deduce many things.
If she could keep him by her side and occasionally dig out more information from him, they would have an advantage.
When facing the Herrschers later, they wouldn’t be so passive.
Casualties would naturally decrease as well.
Thinking of this, Mobius started considering what reason she could use to pull this cautious little guy over to her side.
She wondered if he had any interest in biological research.
If he did, she wouldn’t mind taking on an assistant.
Elysia seemed to notice what Mobius was thinking.
She put a finger to her lips and whispered,
“I know you’re interested in him, but don’t act rashly.
Didn’t he say his strength is only enough for self-defense?
Later, I’ll have Ato arrange an internal assessment for the Flame-Chasers.
If he really has the strength, we can openly pull him out of logistics.”
Mobius looked at Elysia in surprise.
She was clearly startled that this person had suddenly started using her brain.
The idea was solid.
First, they needed to transfer him out of the logistics department.
If she really wanted to take him, one word would be enough.
But to avoid making this cautious guy suspicious, she decided to hold back for now.
“I’ll come for dinner.”
After saying that, Mobius turned and left.
Elysia stayed at the doorway, secretly watching Yu Muyang as he worked hard.
Dinner time arrived quickly.
As expected, Mobius actually came to the cafeteria to eat.
When the people in the institute heard that Mobius was going to the cafeteria, Blanca even wondered if Mobius had gone crazy from too many experiments.
Even after Mobius left the institute, Blanca still hadn’t recovered from the shock.
So when Ato came looking for Blanca, she still looked completely dazed.
Seeing Blanca like that, Ato asked in confusion,
“What’s wrong?
Is the research not going well?”
Blanca shook her head slightly, then said,
“Dr.
Mobius went to the cafeteria to eat.”
“Hiss…”
Hearing that, even Ato, who knew Mobius well, sucked in a cold breath.
He quickly looked up at the sun outside the window.
The sun was slowly setting behind the hills.
He scratched his head and said,
“The sun isn’t rising from the west, though…”
“I don’t know either.
Let’s go take a look at the cafeteria.
The doctor never eats there.
There must be some other reason this time.”
What could there be in the cafeteria that would interest someone like her?
Ato was very puzzled, but he didn’t say it out loud.
Anyway, they were going to eat too.
Observing a little on the side wouldn’t hurt.
Outside the cafeteria, Elysia smiled when she saw Mobius walking over.
She stepped forward a few steps and said,
“Aww, looks like you didn’t break your promise.”
Mobius didn’t even glance at Elysia and walked straight into the cafeteria.
Elysia wasn’t annoyed.
She just followed beside Mobius with a cheerful smile.
When Mobius arrived, the entire cafeteria quieted down a little.
Many warriors couldn’t help shivering the moment they saw her.
But after they saw Elysia and Mobius sit down at a table in the corner, they gradually relaxed a bit.
Still, their eating speed seemed to increase a lot, as if they were sharing a meal with some terrifying beast.
Mobius sat down and looked at Elysia with a calm gaze.
“Go.”
Elysia pouted.
“You’re treating me like a tool.”
But she didn’t refuse.
After all, she was the kind and beautiful Elysia.
Yu Muyang was still serving food and hadn’t noticed the two of them.
Only when Elysia’s playful voice reached his ears did he finally notice her.
He looked up and met Elysia’s eyes.
Curiosity filled her gaze as she stared at him.
He didn’t think much of it and politely served her food.
While he was serving her, Elysia looked him up and down with interest.
Just from a simple look, there didn’t seem to be anything special about him.
It really would take some kind of unexpected test to make him reveal anything.
When he handed her the tray, Elysia smiled and said,
“One more portion♪~”
Yu Muyang’s eyes showed a bit of surprise, but his expression stayed calm as he served another portion.
[Two portions?
As expected of Elysia.
Even the warriors get full from one of these.
She can actually eat two.
By the way, how much does Elysia weigh?
I think it’s…]
“That’s enough, that’s enough.
This is fine.”
The moment she heard him about to reveal her weight in his thoughts, Elysia admitted she panicked a little.
She didn’t know how many people could hear his thoughts, but a girl’s weight was something better kept secret from too many people.
So, under Yu Muyang’s confused expression, Elysia stared at him with a resentful look, picked up the two trays, and left.
She sat down next to Mobius.
