You Have a New Job (Continued)
"Pshaw! Instead of wasting your time thinking about this nonsense, you should go in and self-destruct a few more times. Give me more data, maybe we can make some improvements."
"Doctor, it hurts a lot."
"Aren't you afraid of even death?"
"It wasn't necessary to do this kind of experiment in the early stages, so I had no choice but to go for it. But even though it's life-threatening and painful, I'm still quite afraid of pain."
Anqi rubbed her head with resentment, rarely showing any sign of grievance.
Mobius instinctively raised his hand and placed it on Anqi's head, gently stroking it.
Anqi climbed up the pole and immediately hugged Mobius's smooth, delicate leg, rubbing it gently against it.
The side of Mobius's calf, a rarely touched, pristine area. The strange and unfamiliar sensation immediately made her face flush slightly. However, upholding the pride of a cold and aloof genius, Mobius pretended nothing had happened and slowly said:
"If you're afraid of pain, keep thinking about it. You'll have to go in and get stabbed sooner or later anyway. It's the same whether you get stabbed or not."
"The Doctor is bad!"
"Um?"
"It's bad!"
Anqi sullenly hugged Mobius's leg and continued to rub against it.
Mobius raised an eyebrow, shook his head, and got used to this strange feeling. Then he started reading the literature on his own, too lazy to care about Anqi's little tantrum.
However, this person's audacity and interests clearly exceeded Mobius's simple imagination. She quickly changed her expression, and her voice became slightly distorted as she roared:
"Hey! Rubbing is one thing, but what's with licking? Aren't you disgusted?"
"... Well, I just wanted to try it, and I couldn't resist. Also, the Doctor won't get dirty; he's very clean."
"Pshaw! What a weird little brat."
"Shall I continue licking?"
The mechanical tentacles struck Anqi's head once more, accompanied by Mobius's cold and contemptuous glare.
This is the taste!
Anqi shuddered slightly, a sense of satisfaction washing over her. Then she withdrew her tongue, which Mobius had forbidden, and continued to rub it against him with her face and body.
The laboratory fell silent immediately.
Suddenly, Anqi stopped admiring the beautiful legs.
"Um?"
Sensing something, Mobius looked down and saw Anqi with a serious expression, handing him a rather large disk case.
"What's this?"
"Coordinate data of the Imaginary Tree".
"Oh, I thought it was something else, it's just an imaginary number... Hmm!??"
In a flash, the data box was caught in Mobius's arms.
She instantly moved the most powerful computer in the lab over and connected it to a hard drive.
"Gulp!"
Mobius couldn't help but swallow hard, his pupils trembling as he watched the data access progress bar.
"Bring that girl, Vill-V, over here!"
"Yes, Doctor!"
Anqi has exited the "Little Cat" mode and switched to the wise, intelligent, and reliable research assistant Anqi.
Yes, quite some time has passed since Otto's experiment began, Anqi has obtained the data she had been dreaming of.
Five minutes later, Anqi returned to the lab carrying [Gourmet] Vill-V, who was wearing an apron and holding a strainer. She placed her upright next to Mobius as if she were carrying a log.
"Duang~~"
The moment it was released, the enchanting waves rose higher and higher, almost shattering the unbearable buttons on the chest.
This is the unique magnanimity of a high-quality, mature, slightly chubby beauty.
Mobius once possessed this ability, but she has lost it in her current form.
"Excuse me, what happened, little Anqi, Mobius?"
[Gourmet] Vill-V held the strainer and asked softly, her face displaying the gentle charm of a virtuous wife and loving mother—making one instantly think of a name for the third child.
When Mobius saw that it was Vill-V, he frowned and said impatiently:
"Bring out the experts! This is the coordinate data for the Imaginary Tree!"
"Ah?"
[Gourmet] Vill-V paused for a moment, then tore off her apron and threw away the strainer, revealing her confident and wise [Expert] personality.
"What's going on? Why is there this data? Did Xiao Anqi bring it?"
"Um."
"Interesting! Absolutely fascinating! Mobius, move aside, I'm going to speed up this software!"
Vill-V moved closer, forcing Mobius to squeeze in half a body length.
Uncharacteristically, Mobius did not lose his temper, allowing Vill-V to handle the task as the two of them jointly analyzed this unprecedented and amazing data.
This analysis took almost half a day.
That night, Anqi brought dinner.
Vill-V and Mobius left the computer and sat in front of the tablecloth, their two beautiful faces showing expressions of contemplation and reminiscence.
After a while, the two, who were eating, finally turned their attention to Anqi.
"Little Anqi, where did this data come from? Has the outside world developed to such an advanced level? This is an experiment we've imagined but been unable to conduct!"
"Sister Vill-V, please eat your meal first. The data comes from a madman in the real world. Of course, I am the direct observer. You may have heard of that person's name— Otto Apolcalypse, the Bishop of Schicksal."
As Anqi explained, she served food to the two Doctor.
"Otto?"
Vill-V scratched her head.
Mobius, on the other hand, seemed to realize something, clearly indicating that she knew far more about the real world Vill-V.
Then, Mobius, who was also a madman, narrowed his eyes.
"What is that guy planning to do? He wouldn't be thinking of touching the Imaginary Tree, would he?"
"The Doctor guessed correctly."
"Hmph! Sure enough, if it were me, I would have the same thought when I went this far."
Mobius held his rice bowl and stroked his chin.
"The Imaginary Number is just a metaphor for us. In essence, it is the origin of the world, the place where all rules are conceived and converge. Once you reach that place, it means you have the ability to manipulate the world at will—although only for a brief moment, and you will soon be swallowed up by the vast concept of the Imaginary Tree, and never exist in any world again. But, in that instant, you might be able to directly extinguish the so-called Honkai."
"If it were to extinguish the Honkai, he would be the greatest saint of two eras. Unfortunately, he is not."
"That would be very dangerous. For someone with ulterior motives to arrive at such a place is to put their entire fate in their own hands... Hmph! Otto Apocalypse, an interesting fellow!"
Mobius licked his lips with pleasure.
Despite the danger, she was clearly not afraid; instead, her eyes gleamed with a terrifying, predatory excitement.
"Little guy, you're no ordinary person either. What are you thinking, handing us data like this?"
"Doctor, I also want to try to go to that place."
Anqi grinned.
Those deep, dark purple eyes were like black holes that devoured light.
For the first time, she revealed a terrifying and horrifying darkness in the Land of the Past.
Of course, that might just be her own opinion.
[Expert] Vill-V tilted her head, looking with great interest at the ambition in Anqi's eyes, as if she were looking at a kindred spirit.
Mobius licked her bright red lips again, and her hearty, unrestrained laughter echoed through the laboratory.
"Hahaha!"
Otto Apolcalypse was a madman, but which of these three men wasn't a madman?
