Something's Wrong with You

Mobius's eyes instantly lost their luster, and he uttered a rather terrifying sound.

"If that were to happen... hehe... I hope it won't."

As Vil-V looked at Mobius, who seemed to have turned half-black and whose eyes were completely lifeless, she got goosebumps all over her body.

Thankfully... thankfully, Mobius is unaware that he harbors ulterior motives towards Liu Bai — Vil-V has no doubt that if she were to reveal her true feelings to Mobius now, she would definitely not see the sun rise tomorrow.

Good heavens, are relationships this dangerous these days?

"Yes, yes, I hope it won't happen," Vil-V said with a forced smile.

"It definitely won't happen." Mobius exhaled, his eyes gradually regaining their gleam. "Vil-V, I'm giving you a task."

"Huh? Me? A mission?"

"Keep an eye on Elysia —even if it means letting Liu Bai and Eden be together, don't let Elysia be with Liu Bai!"

Mobius seemed to have made up his mind.

Eden is a threat, but Eden's a bit too proud to admit it and has a relatively conservative personality. He's not capable of making gestures of affection, which is why Mobius has been relatively at ease with him over the years—although it would be a different story if Liu Bai took the initiative.

But Elysia is different. Mobius's understanding of Elysia is that whether she dares to hate or not is unknown, but this girl seems to love anything. Although the degree of love is different, if she really takes a liking to Liu Bai, this girl will definitely bombard Liu Bai with love.

What? What if Eden really gets confessed to by Liu Bai?

What can we do...? Without even thinking about it, Eden is definitely going to kneel down. Mobius figured that if that situation really happened, he would kneel down even faster than Eden, right? At least Eden still had some shame when it came to Liu Bai, but she's almost completely shameless.

If she wins, and Liu Bai has a body, she wouldn't mind inviting Eden over, tying him up, and making Eden watch her and Liu Bai have sex, thus launching a psychological attack on Eden. But if it's the other way around, Eden will only declare victory elegantly and gracefully—although if Eden really does that, Mobius wouldn't mind taking the opportunity to put her down and then forcing Liu Bai to have sex with him in front of his wife.

But then again, if Eden had any real awareness, he would have done it all these years ago. That guy was just like himself back then—a coward. And I only gained courage after I lost him because of regret...

Well, Mobius admits that looking at Eden does feel like looking in a mirror, since their experiences are so similar, which is why Mobius is so tolerant of Eden.

As for why this matter was entrusted to Vil-V —it's because Vil-V suffers from dissociative identity disorder.

Each personality has its own likes and dislikes, and deep within lies the id. Moreover, any personality can increase or decrease at any time due to changes in the mental world. If you can't trust yourself, who can you trust?

That little girl named Sakura?

No, that girl is almost at the age where she's going to be in heat.

"Um... this whole thing depends on Liu Bai, right?"

Vil-V was extremely unwilling. What did she mean by saying that even if Liu Bai and Eden were to be together, Elysia and Liu Bai should not be together?

I don't want to see Liu Bai with anyone here, okay?

"However... we could find a research project and have Liu Bai and I work on it together, which would help us avoid Elysia as much as possible."

Vil-V's plan was meticulously crafted—on the one hand, she wanted to keep Liu Bai by her side, and on the other hand, she wanted to swindle money and projects from Mobius.

I'm going to win twice today—I'm going to win twice!

Upon hearing Vil-V's words, Mobius, as a scientific researcher, fully understood Vil-V meaning; this was perfectly reasonable as a transaction...

Wait, is that reasonable?

Mobius was nodding halfway through, suddenly noticed the smile on Vil-V's face that made him feel a little uncomfortable, yet he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong with it.

Her intuition told her that she was making the wrong choice.

"Vil-V ..."

"Huh? What?"

Seeing Mobius's paused nod, Vil-V realized something was wrong.

Did I expose myself? That doesn't make sense.

"Do you have some improper thoughts about my Liu Bai?"

"You big idiot!" Vil-V pressed down on her Lover Vil-V was in her own consciousness.

"Huh? Mobius, have you finally lost your mind too?" Vil-V tried her best to act normal.

"It's nothing, I just felt you were a little too eager to help. Normally you should avoid relationship issues in our circle like the plague."

This is actually allowed?

Vil-V felt utterly pissed off, but outwardly remained outwardly composed:

"Why would I avoid taking advantage of a sucker like you, when it's a rare opportunity to fleece you?"

"...That's true." Mobius pondered for a moment and nodded, acknowledging the statement, but then changed the subject. "However, just to be on the safe side, you should swear an oath—'If I, Vil-V, ever like Liu Bai, then no one will ever want me in this lifetime.'"

"...I am a materialist." After a moment of silence, Vil-V moved her lips.

"Just make a vow."

"We scientists can't keep believing in this kind of mystical stuff."

"Swear it."

"Mobius, you have to believe in my character and integrity."

"You swear first!"

"I don't!"

Chapter 356 Sick

"So, that's why you two were fighting?"

Liu Bai, with Eden by his side, watched the two people lying on the ground with a rather speechless expression.

A weakling fighting a weakling will end up killing them both.

If Liu Bai hadn't been able to anticipate any situation and knew to bring Eden along, the two of them would probably have spent the whole night lying on the cold lab floor.

Vil-V turned her head away; she was truly too ashamed to face anyone.

Mobius, however, remained defiant. "This guy had ulterior motives, he hit her!"

Mobius is still shaken, realizing he was almost sold out and ended up helping the seller count the money—no woman who can gather around Liu Bai is any good!

Well, I'm no good myself!

Mobius didn't care at all and even cursed himself.

"You two are really interesting." Eden looked at the two who had sat up from the ground with a half-smile.

How should I put it... I'm used to it.

With Elysia in the past, having another Vil-V doesn't matter much. Besides, judging from her performance over the years, she's definitely just a nobody. Anyway, I'm already burdened with debts—after all, Liu Bai is still by my side.

Sensing the awkward atmosphere and noticing Eden's subtle gaze, Vil-V immediately made a crucial decision in her mind—Lover! It's your turn to take over!

All of Vil-V agreed with the suggestion. Since they were going to lose face anyway, they might as well bring out their most shameful personality traits; maybe they could even turn a negative into a positive.

Well, now we'll see just how shameless the lover's personality really is.

Then, just as she sat up, still feeling a little weak, Vil-V began to crawl towards Liu Bai on all fours, looking every bit like an oddball.

"Whoa—!"

Eden was immediately startled.

"Hehehe...!" Vil-V bypassed Eden and tried to touch Liu Bai, who was a ghost.

"What the heck is this?!"

Liu Bai subconsciously rose up, looking at the Vil-V on the ground, which looked like an aberrant species, and inexplicably had a sense of déjà vu, as if he were seeing Otto.

"This is... a romantic personality?"

"That's right! I! My Lover Vil-V, have admired you, Lord Liu Bai, for a long time!"

Conductor: "This thing is less than a day old, isn't it?"

Scholar: "From a certain perspective, this statement should represent the feelings of the id."

Expert: "Wasn't this guy quite rational during the meeting? How come he's practically turned into a different species after we left?"

Magician: "It's because she represents the 'love complex' of her true self. It's understandable that she would lose her mind when she sees her beloved. However, isn't this emotion that her true self has separated a bit too pure... Liu Bai was able to see what this personality represents at a glance."

Chef: "Anyone want to try grilled spider... Ah no, I mean, Liu Bai didn't just see it at a glance, but rather came to the corresponding conclusion subconsciously from years of experience."

You mean to say that the Lover's crawling posture as an aberrant species looks like a spider?

"... Speaking of which, are roasted spiders really edible?"

"Sure! It can even dispel wind and reduce swelling! Didn't we just get swollen from being beaten by Mobius?"

"Interested in."

"Absolutely not! Scholar, you shouldn't be interested in everything!"

The lovers were tied up and gagged with expressions of enjoyment.

"... What kind of personality has Vil-V developed this time?"

Eden, who was responsible for holding down Vil-V, looked exhausted.

Okay, Liu Bai has already explained the origin of his personality very clearly—love.

But, Vil-V, isn't your view on love a bit out of line with human values? Why are you looking so happy even with your eyes glazed over while you're tied up?!

"Eden, don't you have any experience dealing with perverts?" Mobius, still trying to strike up a conversation despite being exhausted and leaning back in his chair.

"I don't think a normal person could have this kind of experience."

Eden retorted irritably, "She's a proper young lady from a respectable family, okay? The most absurd and 'licentious' thing she's ever done since she was old enough to understand things is to take advantage of Liu Bai's Liu Bai of musical knowledge and play love songs for him to gain inner satisfaction."

Who understands what "abnormal species" or "sharp" means?

Mobius shrugged, deeply feeling that there was still some barrier between him and Eden —to be honest, the biggest weirdo present was her, okay?

The term "lover" is used because the parts that are separated from each other are too pure. The "lover" that the woman in front of you, Vil-V, calls herself is actually an inaccurate term. She is not a personality that is separated based on her profession, but rather a personality that is separated based on her emotions or aspirations.

Therefore, Liu Bai's term for her, "love personality," is more accurate than "lover personality," and it better explains why she lost her mind after seeing Liu Bai.

But here's the problem—this guy's first reaction after losing his mind was to crawl towards Liu Bai instead of killing all the vixens around him.

What's so scary about that?

If it weren't for the need to pretend to fit in and avoid revealing himself, Mobius would have told everyone to disperse.

If she were to unleash this pure personality, her first reaction would definitely be to explode at the group of vixens around her.

But so far, it seems that Eden has not discovered his true nature at all, and doesn't even have the heart to guard against it... What an honest kid.

Eden shivered inexplicably; for a fleeting moment, she felt a chill.

However, Eden looked left and right but couldn't find anything wrong.

"Uh, so what should we do with this guy?"

"How about we parade him through the streets?" Mobius asked with a hint of sneer.

"Not very good—could you suggest a more practical solution?"

Liu Bai tapped Mobius and said in an annoyed tone.

"How about trying to reject her directly? I'm curious what would happen if the significance of a personality that represents clear emotions were denied?"

Mobius still looked lazy and listless.

"Will it simply fade away, or will it transform due to a change in emotions?"

As soon as Mobius finished speaking, a look of horror finally appeared in the eyes of his Lover Vil-V had always acted like a pervert and was indeed a pervert.

You bastard, are you a demon?!

"There's nothing interesting about a lover turning into a yandere, is there? It'll only cause more trouble." Eden, a normal person with common sense, seriously complained, "You just want to get revenge on Vil-V, don't you!"

"Nonsense, she's such an eyesore and she's trying to frame me, why can't I get revenge on her?"

Mobius grinned. "Of course, on the other hand, it's also because I do lack research data on the mental aspects, so it seems like it would be good to fill that gap now."

"Just throw her back into her room."

Liu Bai gave Mobius, who kept coming up with bad ideas, another whack on the back of the head.
