[As expected, I got schemed!]
This was Yu Muyang’s first reaction.
But after he clearly heard the content, he was slightly stunned.
[Assistant?
So it wasn’t about body donation or anything.]
[That’s good, that’s good… Wait, no—why do I have to become an assistant?
I don’t know any of this knowledge at all!]
“I’m not suitable, right?
I know nothing about research.
I’m just an extra.”
A glint flashed through Mobius’s eyes.
She leaned slightly forward, her two slender, fair arms resting on the sofa behind Yu Muyang, one hand propping up her chin.
A playful smile curved her lips as she spoke like a devil.
“Of course it’s because you look more pleasing to the eye.
My lab already has two mascots.
One more won’t make a difference.”
The moment she finished speaking, just as Yu Muyang still wanted to say something, the laboratory door suddenly opened.
“Doctor, these data have been verified.
There are no pro…blems…”
Klein adjusted her glasses.
Dark circles hung heavily under her eyes.
She held several data sheets in her hands and now stood frozen in the doorway, staring at the scene before her.
Klein blanked for a moment, then hurriedly rubbed her eyes and took another careful look.
Still uncertain, she took two steps back and checked the “First Laboratory” sign on the door, as well as the tag next to it that read “Elysia and dogs not allowed.”
She hadn’t gone to the wrong place.
She also wasn’t seeing things.
Barely three seconds later, Klein directly used the data sheets to cover her face and returned to her seat.
I saw nothing…
After Klein’s little performance, Yu Muyang came back to his senses.
[This is very likely Mobius’s delaying tactic.]
[After becoming her assistant, once I get a little familiar, if she wants to use some of my organization for research, it would also be reasonable.]
[Nice one, Mobius.
Didn’t expect an iron straight woman like you to still have this move.
But why don’t you use this kind of move on those higher-ups?]
[If you used these moves on the higher-ups, you wouldn’t have been disgusted by them to the point of not even being able to get research funding in the end.]
[Forget it.
At least this is pretty good for me too.
When the time comes, I’ll secretly write some MANTIS data into Mobius’s research records.]
[Thinking about it this way, becoming Mobius’s assistant isn’t bad.]
Mobius’s mouth originally couldn’t help twitching at the other party’s words.
But by the end, Mobius decided to forgive those slanderous thoughts in his heart.
At least he was still thinking for her sake.
Mobius lightly sighed.
“Yu Muyang, as a frontline warrior, when you see those Honkai Beasts and Herrschers, don’t you feel that humans are insignificant and need to evolve?”
“Don’t say you don’t.
That guy Elysia is the best example.
That guy’s strength is completely not something an ordinary person could have.”
In the early stages, the main means of fighting the Honkai was based on the technological power of the previous civilization.
At first, it could still barely cope.
But the further it went, the stronger the Herrschers became.
Especially after the Seventh Herrscher, the disasters brought by Herrschers directly expanded from a single region to an entire continent.
It was precisely because of the appearance of such existences that The Flame-Chasers fully supported the MANTIS project.
Otherwise, this project would never have been used so early among the human higher-ups.
“To fight against the Honkai, artificial evolution is indeed necessary.
But I’m just a small soldier.
These things are still too far for me.”
[Actually, in my view, as long as appearance and emotions maintain human characteristics, those evolutions are still fine.]
[After all, if you really become neither human nor ghost, how can you still claim to be human?]
[I can’t, in the future, when I want to kiss you, end up kissing that big puddle of dark-green stuff you’ve turned into, right?]
Mobius: ???
“Why do I feel like you’re thinking of some very bad things?”
“No, really not.”
“Oh?
Could it be that a sexy beauty like me is standing right in front of you, and you don’t have a single thought?”
As she spoke, Mobius extended her soft tongue and slowly licked her red lips.
“The milk tea is back!
Doctor!”
The door opened again.
Fuxi and Nuwa entered the laboratory at that moment, holding five cups of milk tea.
The moment the two little ones stepped inside, they saw Doctor Mobius seemingly seducing this boy.
The two little ones immediately felt the sky collapse.
Doctor won’t kill us to silence us, right?!
Did we come back at a bad time?!
At once, the three cups of milk tea in Fuxi’s hands fell straight to the floor.
Her entire little face turned deathly pale.
Mobius: …
Nuwa directly raised the two cups of milk tea in her hands to cover her eyes, then turned around and slowly walked away while muttering.
“I saw nothing… I saw nothing…”
Dong.
A muffled thud came.
Nuwa had walked straight into the door.
Klein: …
Klein stood up.
With her back to Mobius and Yu Muyang, she walked over to Fuxi and Nuwa and led the two little ones back to her work area.
“Wait.”
Mobius called out to the three of them.
Their bodies instantly stiffened.
“Leave two cups of milk tea.”
Nuwa tremblingly handed two cups over to Mobius.
After Mobius took them, she signaled with her eyes for them to leave.
Then, as if a huge weight had been lifted, she trotted over to Klein’s side.
“Here, have a cup.”
Mobius handed a cup of milk tea to Yu Muyang with a completely normal expression.
“Oh.”
Yu Muyang was also very tactful and did not bring up what had just happened.
After taking the milk tea, he skillfully inserted the straw and began drinking.
On the other side, Nuwa and Fuxi were currently hiding behind Klein, quietly poking their heads out to observe the unbelievable scene before them.
“What’s wrong with Doctor Mobius?
Could it be that she wants a man?!”
“I feel like this is luring an underage little boy into the Doctor’s evil experiments.”
“Fortunately we got greedy today and bought one extra cup of milk tea.
Otherwise, among the four of us, someone really might not get any.”
“No.
If it really came to that situation, it could only be you.”
Fuxi was unconvinced, but she also didn’t want to argue with Nuwa.
So she patted Klein and asked quietly.
“What’s wrong with the Doctor?”
Klein pushed up her reflective lenses and said, “This might be the man Senior Blanca mentioned—the one who made the Doctor’s heart move.”
“Really?
*2”
“Mm.
Senior Blanca told me she personally saw the Doctor eating with him.
You all know the Doctor’s personality.
How could she waste time going out to eat?”
“And at that time, beside him… there was also Elysia.”
