"The Honkai Energy concentration is still rising! Dr. Mobius's body is collapsing! He's bleeding all over! He's become a blood-soaked mess!"

"It must stop! No! It can't be stopped! This process..."

"Wait! Danzhu, look! The entire deterioration process has stopped! No, it's even recovering."

"... The immunity from death has been triggered."

"... Um, can I say I'm not in pain? Liu Bai's mechanism seems to be a direct exemption from this 'lethal element'."

"It's definitely not a permanent exemption; it should only prevent death from continued damage. In fact, your current condition is not good either. Your internal organs have just stopped deteriorating. Should we continue? Or should we give you a serum injection to stop the experiment?"

"Keep going, there's no turning back once the arrow is released. I can feel that I've begun to control Shesha's immortality..."

"... Okay, I'll have to trouble you next time the pain comes."

"Leave it to me."

"Hmm... Liu Bai's ability to avoid death seems surprisingly strong."

Mobius took off her blood-stained clothes and threw them aside. Apart from Liu Bai, everyone else present was a girl, so she didn't hold back.

"I didn't feel any pain afterwards..."

"Perhaps because the entire painful process... no, the modification of your body by the Honkai Beast genes is considered as a 'continuous injury,' and the invulnerability mechanism should only exempt you from that particular injury, but because it has been continuous without interruption, it is considered as a 'single' injury?"

Mei rested her chin on her hand.

"And it only provides immunity to damage, not interrupts the process, so the actual modification process continues..."

"Oh!" Danzhu raised his hand at this moment, "So it means that you are locked in health for one turn when you are near death, right? But because the Honkai Beast gene does not end its turn, no matter how much damage you deal, it is useless."

"Um... although there are some differences, it's not bad. In fact, if it's interrupted for even a moment, Dr. Mobius will need the teacher to intervene."

However, this dangerous process is irreversible...

If it were reversible, it wouldn't be so dangerous...

Chapter 390 A beautiful girl deserves a perfect Honkai Beast

"Wow... this blood has dried into a clot..." Danzhu curiously broke off a piece of blood that was sticking outwards from Mobius's body.

"Hiss... It's even connected to the body hair, Danzhu, what are you talking about!"

"Dr. Mingming, you didn't even cry out in pain when you were having surgery, so this is just plucking a hair, isn't it?"

"Is this the same thing? Go away! I'll figure out a way to clean it up myself."

"Isn't this the same thing?"

Danzhu scratched his head.

"Speaking of which, Dr. Mobius's eyes have also turned into snake-like vertical pupils, which makes him even more frightening."

"That's normal. As a snake-type Shesha Honkai Beast, this little bit of impact is nothing... Hmm, thankfully, the lower part is still separate and hasn't turned into a cloaca."

"Never mind those little things," Mei said, thinking it was odd that Mobius was thinking about such things first... well, although it was indeed quite important. "How are you feeling? How much has increased?"

"Hmm..." Mobius pondered for a moment, "In terms of strength, I can only say that it is very strong, but I can hardly say exactly how strong it is. Further testing is needed. However... the immortality aspect has been demonstrated."

"Yes, I see. I didn't even need to stitch you up. Your body healed on its own, and it even grew in the right place... What about the lightning?"

"I get the feeling you're hoping I'll go astray... As for lightning abilities, I have some, but it's hard to say I'm strong." Mobius conjured a small bolt of lightning in his hand. "Not bad, I succeeded on the first try. Looks like I'm quite talented after all."

"Not surprising, after all, lightning isn't Shesha's forte; inheriting immortality is enough... However, what exactly is this immortality..."

"You can be reborn by shedding your skin like a snake after you die, but you need energy... well, to put it simply, you need to eat. And like a snake shedding its skin, you will become younger. Is that a side effect? But you can also grow up by consuming energy."

Mobius revealed a smug smile. If it weren't for the fact that this surgery was already quite a shock to Liu Bai's heart, Mobius could have staged a suicide on the spot to see how many years younger he could become. He could have made himself look like he was seventeen or eighteen years old.

"... If you don't want to attract the attention of higher-ups, my advice is not to do this kind of thing."

Mei coldly pushed up her glasses.

She admitted that she was grinding her teeth so hard they were about to break and were starting to twist.

"If you were to turn into an eighteen-year-old and walk out today, a squad of soldiers could surround you the next day—after all, you are not Eden. If Eden were to turn back to eighteen, everyone would only praise her for looking younger with her makeup today."

Mei felt she couldn't let herself be the only one twisted, so she decided to stab Mobius in the heart—you think you can suppress Eden or Elysia just by turning back the clock?

Dream on!

I want to punch you.

Mobius looked at the expressionless Mei and sighed heavily.

"I want to see if your Stun Gun can stun this 'Fusion Warrior'."

"..." Mei silently turned her head away.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes. This dirty feeling is really uncomfortable—by the way, does anyone want to see a snake shedding its skin?"

"...Spare my heart." Liu Bai sighed, rubbing his forehead. "You should find a way to get an electrocardiogram for this ghost, so you can see how hard my heart was beating just now."

"Haha, just kidding. But experiencing the feeling of being moved might be good for ghosts too—well, it's really weird to talk about this with a ghost."

Mobius seemed to be in a particularly good mood—after all, she can now turn back the clock at any time.

"However, Liu Bai, you'll have to get used to this feeling eventually, since you might be needed to help with future surgeries."

"... I can't help much." Liu Bai sighed.

To be honest, he has already used up more than ten contracts in this simulation. Each contract is worth ten simulation attempts. Even if Otto gives him more, he is almost out of resources.

The current civilization is just coasting along, with only three simulation attempts per month, and frankly, it's not easy for the current civilization to drag out the time.

"Do what you can."

Mobius was just trying to get Liu Bai to pay attention, since even if Liu Bai didn't say it, they probably already had a general idea of the Ghost's difficulties.

"Next, Mei, are you coming?"

"None of them suit me, forget it."

Mei was tempted for a moment, but still refused.

She certainly has interests, but she doesn't have good compatibility with the Honkai Beast that have already been hunted down.

Moreover, Mei had seen the risks of this experiment. At most, Liu Bai could only resolve one risk. What if a second risk occurred during her surgery?

Moreover, since she is a rear-line personnel who would never be able to go to the battlefield, it would be better for her to give this opportunity to her junior brothers and sisters rather than occupy it for nothing—in terms of benefits, the increase from the surgery for her junior brothers and sisters would definitely be higher than that for herself.

"Do you have anything suitable for Kevin?"

"I don't know, we'll have that kid come and give it a try later."

Mobius stretched and went into the laboratory shower room.

Liu Bai, Mei, and Danzhu Cangxuan remained where they were.

"I will never participate in such an event again." Cangxuan sighed.

"Um... I think you could give it a try, sister."

At this moment, Danzhu started teasing her older sister.

After all, if this seemingly frail and delicate older sister of hers were to actually fight, three or five burly men wouldn't be able to get close to her. If she put on the combat uniform of the Moth Chasers to Fire, she would at least be considered an elite, if not a captain.

The most capable scientist present before wasn't Mei, but Cangxuan —of course, now it's Mobius.

"... Absolutely not."

Cangxuan refused outright, showing no respect for his sister.

"We are researchers. Instead of having time to undergo surgery, we should study more useful things."

"There aren't that many useful things." Danzhu stretched. "But if there are Honkai Beast that can be made into figurines in the future, I wouldn't mind undergoing surgery to try it out."

"Danzhu, don't accept such a dangerous surgery for such a trivial reason."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

"Phew... I feel so refreshed!"

After washing himself and changing into a white lab coat, Mobius stretched lazily.

"I almost broke the showerhead while I was showering just now. The sudden surge of power is quite difficult for a scientist like me to control."

"At least there were no accidents like explosions, so the fusion process seems to have been very successful." Mei nodded.

Liu Bai was not surprised by this—after all, this was a relatively mature technology that he had obtained from Mei in the future.

The side effects have been suppressed to a very low level—in fact, in the original timeline, only Kevin had relatively large side effects, and I haven't heard of Fusion Warrior with side effects comparable to Kevin's since.

Later on, the Hypermutation Surgery was actually semi-obsolete. Many Fusion Warrior were given injections and allowed to undergo transformation on the battlefield by accepting factors... Compared to surgery, it was gentler and had a higher success rate, but it was too uncertain and could easily lead to situations where you try to plant flowers but they don't bloom, while willows planted unintentionally thrive.

"Keep it up, Mei. I've already shipped out my goods, so don't dawdle on your end."

"...I see."

Mei nodded, and then everyone left the laboratory together. As soon as they stepped outside, they saw Kalpas standing motionless in front of the laboratory door.

Seeing the gate open, Kalpas looked up at Liu Bai.

"Um... I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Liu Bai checked the time. More than three hours had passed since the surgery began. If nothing unexpected happened, Kalpas should have been sitting there for more than three hours.

"It doesn't matter."

Kalpas stood up indifferently.

"Where do we go? And what about this guy..."

Kalpas looked at Mobius.

Danger, it makes me uneasy... it gives me a chilling feeling, and this power...

Kalpas sat outside for three hours and naturally heard the painful roars inside, but he couldn't understand why this woman's strength had undergone such a dramatic change.

Before, this woman was just an insect that could be crushed at will, but now... Kalpas's intuition told him that he couldn't kill her.

...eccentric.

Kalpas showed a rare interest in this change, but it was only to a certain extent that there was no need for Kalpas to ask him directly.

"Ah... where did you pick this guy up from?"

Sensing Kalpas's gaze, Mobius, who had just entered the ranks of the strong, felt his body issuing a warning.

Although he had sensed something was off about this hot-tempered kid before, Mobius didn't realize the problem was this serious—his entire body was telling him he could never beat this guy.

Mobius now seriously doubts where Liu Bai picked up this Herrscher from. What do humans eat to have such combat power?!

Don't ask such a rude question.

Liu Bai tapped Mobius on the head.

Kalpas is strong, but Liu Bai feels that even now, Kalpas is no match for Elysia.

Moreover, Liu Bai felt that even if Kalpas was outrageous, he might not be able to defeat Elysia.

At least Kalpas's strength is visible. If it really comes down to a fight to the death, with Liu Bai assisting Mobius, they can definitely defeat Kalpas. But Elysia?

Sorry, there's no bottom to that thing right now, but Mobius seems to have subconsciously ignored the pink-clad beauty who's always getting cheeky in front of her.

... It's also possible that Elysia was good at pretending.

After Kalpas, anyone who isn't blind would know that Qian Jie, who exudes a dangerous aura, is not someone to mess with. As for Elysia... Liu Bai felt that neither Mei nor Mobius had probably noticed Elysia's problem.

"I'd like you to give Kalpas a physical exam—just a very basic one."

"Don't worry, I'm not so desperate as to dissect everything I see."

Mobius nodded.

"Kalpas, is it? You don't mind taking a little blood from me, do you?" Mobius pulled a syringe out of his white coat.

"... It doesn't matter."

Kalpas hesitated at first, but when he saw the syringe that Mobius took out, he agreed.
