Fu Hua's Fun Just Got a Whole Lot Bigger

"Is there really anyone who can predict this so accurately?"

"I don't know about others, but if it's Dr. Mei, then maybe it's possible."

Just as many people's confidence in Schicksal comes from Otto, many people in the Previous Era also came from Mei. The existence of Mei, this wise man, is like a stabilizing force.

"Then this is truly a monster..."

"Wait, what are you two talking about?"

Rita, who was standing next to her, looked a little confused.

"This Mei... cough, Dr. Mei had a very high status in the Previous Era?"

"Dr. Mei's status in our Previous Era was roughly equivalent to that of your current Bishop Otto —although Dr. Mei took complete control of the entire Moth Chasers to Fire relatively late."

"That's what Gray Serpent said calmly. But the example he gave made Rita understand instantly."

"By the way, Dr. Mei was also chosen by that person."

"That sir..."

It would have been better if Gray Serpent hadn't said anything, because Rita's face immediately darkened after he did.

"Don't tell me that you people from the Previous Era were all chosen by him."

How come every time I meet someone, they're connected to Liu Bai? Is this any way to live?

"... It shouldn't be that bad, right?" Gray Serpent's tone became somewhat uncertain when he said this. "However, this is not something I can comment on."

Gray Serpent was perfectly aware of what matters he couldn't comment on.

—For example, the romantic relationships of those adults.

When it comes to this, even Mei, who is known for her rationality, becomes less absolutely rational.

Speaking carelessly about this kind of thing might offend others, but if you accidentally offend Mei or even its creator Mobius...

Gray Serpent felt he could atone for his sins with his death.

Therefore, Gray Serpent completely ignores this matter—no matter who suffers a loss, he pretends not to see it!

Seeing Gray Serpent's cryptic demeanor, Rita felt even worse.

"Lord Gray Serpent, if you don't mind, could you give me a detailed introduction to this Dr. Mei?"

"... Although my memory is a bit hazy, it's still fine if it's just for the introduction."

That's terrible.

After listening to Gray Serpent's introduction, Rita couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

Even she had to admit that the example Gray Serpent had given was absolutely right—no, it might even have been a slight belittling of Dr. Mei.

This Dr. Mei did far more in the Previous Era than Otto did.

The God Key, Relics, and even Stigmata they possess bear the imprint of each other.

Not to mention those supercomputers... How are we supposed to deal with such an opponent?

In terms of status, the other party is already far superior to someone like me who is just a pawn, isn't that right?

... So at this point, all we can do is rely on our feminine charm, right?

"Oh, isn't this our Lady Rita? Why do you look so worried?"

"Raven, you can choose between hanging you on the ceiling or reporting your mission failure to Gray Serpent."

"... Please hang me up."

"A wise choice."

After quickly turning the Raven into a lamp, Rita's mood improved a bit. Then, she went to the entrance of Shencheng Pharmaceuticals to greet the arriving Dr. Mei.

"The Gray Serpent? Long time no see."

"Long time no see, Dr. Mei."

Gray Serpent bowed to Mei with considerable composure.

"I never expected to see you again in this era. It is truly exciting."

"Yeah?"

Mei nodded noncommittally, without saying anything polite—in reality, there was nothing about Gray Serpent that required Mei to be excited or emotional.

World Serpent is a good organization, but I'm not familiar with it.

The Gray Serpent is a very interesting creature, but it has nothing to do with her.

Objectively speaking, Previous Era, Mei has never considered the Gray Serpent as a stable factor in its calculations.

In reality, it doesn't matter to Mei who Gray Serpent allies with or whether he establishes his own independent operation.

Kevin, Sue, and Hua—these three people responsible for protecting the new civilization are all family at heart.

Well, for Mei, the two junior brothers and one senior sister are, from another perspective, another organization in themselves.

Regardless of who Gray Serpent allies with, it's all within their own fold. If it were to establish its own independent operation, it wouldn't be able to cause any trouble for the three of them.

"Speaking of which, when a new civilization was born, whom did you choose?"

"Lord Kevin."

"Him... he's a bit of a fool, but he's not too bad."

No one present was qualified to respond to Mei's evaluation, and Gray Serpent could only remain silent and bow with his hand on his chest.

Others may not know, but the person in front of me is definitely qualified to comment on Kevin.

However, Mei's curiosity about the current civilization seemed to stop there, and she turned to look at Rita beside her.

"... May I get to know this maid?"

"Rita, S-Rank Valkyrie belonging to Schicksal."

"No organized scientists, mei."

The Moth Chasers to Fire has long since been broken, so it's not wrong for Mei to call herself an unorganized scientist now.

"I hope we get along well in the future, Miss Rita."

"...must."

Mei and Rita shook hands.

Compared to Rita, who seemed to be under considerable pressure, Mei appeared much more relaxed.

"Speaking of which, I haven't known Liu Bai for very long, and he's already made me so exhausted that I can't get out of bed... Miss Rita, have you ever had a similar experience?"

"...ha?"

Wait, what kind of nonsense is this woman suddenly spouting?

So exhausted that you can't get out of bed?

Show off?

Before Rita could think it through, Mei continued with some melancholy, "And I was only ten years old at the time. It's unbelievable that the doctor could do that."

"...?"

Where's my knife? Where's my knife?

Rita, as if a string in her mind had suddenly snapped, felt that she absolutely had to kill either the woman in front of her or Liu Bai.

Chapter 137 Fu Hua's Fun Has Gone Far Away

There's nothing more to say; the string of "reason" in Rita's head has snapped.

No, we can put aside the possibility of being beaten to it for now.

The problem is, Liu Bai, what did you do to a ten-year-old girl?!

Although she showed great care for the little girl, it was within the bounds of propriety! But you, Liu Bai, actually tormented a ten-year-old girl to the point that she couldn't get out of bed!?

"Are these two just bored out of their minds?"

Jackal sensed the change in the atmosphere around him, he slightly moved his mask aside, revealing a somewhat speechless expression.

Gray Serpent: "... Just don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

No, wait, this woman might be deliberately misleading me...

The incident between the Jackal and the Gray Serpent brought Rita's somewhat disturbing fantasies to a brief respite, and rationality returned.

"... If you're saying they're just bored and have nothing better to do, that might be true."

Rita changed the subject to buy herself more time to regain her rationality.

"Is Dr. Mei also very free?"

"Me? I might be the same," Mei said with a slight smile.

Rita is really bored. Although Otto assigned them the important task of capturing K423, in reality, their target was standing behind Mei.

The World Serpent, who was supposed to be causing them trouble from the shadows, inexplicably became one of their own.

It's like they have missions to perform, but all they have to do each day is pick a couple of times to lead the Unfading Blade squad out for a couple of laps, and then everyone comes back to eat, drink, and play as usual.

What was originally a high-risk mission to capture Herrscher has now been turned into a paid vacation.

Rita's only job now is to report to Bishop Otto twice a day, using the information she has colluded with the World Serpent...

As for Mei... theoretically speaking, Mei actually has a lot of things to do.

For example, confirming the overall strength of the current civilization, predicting when the Herrscher will appear in the future, preparing Herrscher plans in advance, and resolving any foreshadowing left behind in the past;

On the other hand, Mei doesn't need to rush these things at all. After all, the pressure she faces now is much less than it was back then, and besides, some things can be left to Gray Serpent.

Moreover, Mei doesn't have enough cards to play right now, and there's no rush in this regard. Besides, the current civilization has its own pillars, so there's no need for her to step forward.

So in a way, these two people really are just guys who have nothing better to do.

So, since I was just killing time anyway, and there just happened to be someone I didn't like in front of me—I decided to tear them apart.

These two are really something else.

"Speaking of which, Dr. Mei, you said Liu Bai tormented you to the point where you couldn't get out of bed... May I ask what exactly that tormenting was like?"

Rita regained her senses and gradually came to her senses.

Based on her understanding of Liu Bai, putting everything else aside, Liu Bai's character is still trustworthy.

"Of course it's for exercise, what other possibility could there be?"

Mei had a faint smile on her face, as if to say, "I hope no one is thinking anything inappropriate?"

"I thought Dr. Mei, you were so badly spanked by Liu Bai that you couldn't get out of bed," Rita replied with a slight smile.

When it comes to playfully arguing, Rita has never backed down.

"However, speaking of my experience sleeping with Liu Bai, I do have some... Dr. Mei, would you like to hear about it?"

"Huh? Going to bed? With a ghost?"

Before Mei could react, Kiana behind her screamed first.

"I... I didn't expect you to go this far, Rita... Although my impression of you has improved somewhat, this is still... emmmm..."

... This guy has never disappointed her when it comes to being silly.

If it weren't for the formidable enemy right in front of her, leaving her no room for weakness, Rita would have wanted to sigh and facepalm.

"Gray Serpent... is this something we can just listen to?"

Jackal smirked, "What if you and I are shot eight times in the back tomorrow and commit suicide?"

"No, only you." Gray Serpent said without hesitation, cutting to the heart.

To him, it was just a body, worthless and easily killed.

"..." Jackal choked for a moment, "The cohesion among the executives of our World Serpent is really worrying right now."

"The fact that you uttered the word 'cohesion' is enough to make me worried."
