Chapter 183
"That's right, it's Miss Pink Fairy. Look, you look just like an elf. Although you can't compare to me, you're still a very cute type. And this figure... you really are a fairy. Most importantly, look at your ears. Hiss... I didn't even notice them because they were hidden by your hair. Isn't it obvious that you're a Pink Elf? So cute, can I touch them?"
Shen Gonglin was quite excited as he looked at the Miss Pink Fairy from head to toe. He was really good at naming things; he felt that Elysia was particularly suitable for the name, especially when he lifted Elysia's pink hair. Those pointy little ears made her look just like a fairy. Just looking at them Shen Gonglin want to touch them. Although he asked, Shen Gonglin actually reached out and touched them. They were warm and cozy. These ears weren't just decorations; they were alive!
"You've already made your move! Ugh... no, don't pinch me like that, just a touch, I can tolerate that a little bit..."
With her ears being pinched, the Miss Pink Fairy's cheeks turned rosy. Consider it a thank you gift for the lovely nickname he gave her. The fairy blushed and bit her lip slightly as Shen Gonglin pinched her ears. This guy's technique is amazing. No, I can't let him pinch them anymore.
"Alright, stop touching me. From now on, you can call me whatever you want: Elysia, Elysia, or Miss Pink Fairy... If that's what you want to call me, then I'll gladly accept it... But don't come any closer. Touching a lady's ears like that is not something a gentleman should do."
Slightly pushing away Shen Gonglin, and seeing that he was about to pounce again, Elysia quickly covered her ears. It seemed like she was always the one teasing others, and no one had ever treated her like this before. From this, it was clear that Shen Gonglin was more interesting than any of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers. She really wanted to recruit him too. She was sure he could too. The fairy lady shrank slightly into the throne. As the vice leader, she still had to remind him about his habit of touching his ears.
"I'm not exactly a gentleman, come on, let me touch them again, these pointed ears feel so good to touch."
Shen Gonglin wanted to experience it again, but the Miss Pink Fairy dared not let him come again. She had never met someone like Shen Gonglin in all this time. No, she couldn't let him continue. She had to send him away.
"Right, right, you just said that you couldn't determine your coordinates because of the disordered power, which is why you ended up here, right? Why don't you try again now?"
Pink energy flickered between her slender, fair fingers as Elysia gently touched Shen Gonglin's chest. The external power temporarily calmed the restless and agitated Herrscher aura within him. Although it wasn't completely restored, Elysia could still suppress it temporarily.
"Oh, I'll give it a try, but before that, let me touch your ears first..."
"No need, goodbye. We'll see each other again sooner or later anyway. Bye-bye."
Reaching out, she pushed Shen Gonglin into the shimmering circle of light. The Miss Pink Fairy gently patted her chest. This Shen Gonglin is really interesting.
Chapter Seventy-Six: Exploring and Learning
So, I'm back?
The Miss Pink Fairy in front of her disappeared. After passing through the spatial passage, Shen Gonglin felt a softness under her body and realized that she was sitting on the bed. This architectural style is definitely Hyperion. She didn't expect that she would actually come back. Shen Gonglin thought that she would never be able to come back unless she tried dozens of times. This night's experience was really a fantastical journey.
Turning to look out the window, she saw a calm sea beneath the tranquil night sky. The Hyperion was currently anchored on the sea not far from Sky City. Reflecting on her experiences today, Shen Gonglin felt exhausted. First, there was Siberia, then the Schicksal Headquarters, and finally, her encounter with the Miss Pink Fairy. If it weren't for her physical fatigue, Shen Gonglin would have doubted whether it was all a hallucination. In short, Shen Gonglin didn't want to experience anything like this again anytime soon. The power of the Herrscher of the Void couldn't be used casually until she recovered. Right now, she needed to rest.
Yawning, Shen Gonglin threw back the covers and crawled inside. He often boasted of being a night owl, but in reality, Shen Gonglin got sleepy very easily if he went to bed too late. After a night of running around, Shen Gonglin was already quite exhausted. After confirming that he was on the Hyperion, he relaxed and didn't notice that there was someone sleeping next to him. Even if there was someone sleeping there, Shen Gonglin wouldn't care. After all, there were only a few people on the Hyperion, so it didn't matter who it was.
Why, why do I feel so sad, like I'm tied up... No, it's not just like I'm tied up, it's obviously like that.
Early in the morning, Dr. Einstein frowned and opened her eyes. Just as she was about to stretch her body, she found that she couldn't do it at all. The still somewhat groggy Chicken Coop Head. Einstein instantly opened her eyes. She looked speechlessly at the two arms around her waist, plus the shallow breathing behind her... There was no mistake, it was definitely Shen Gonglin. How did this girl get into her room, and in this state?
Does this guy also have sleepwalking problems?
As expected of Dr. Einstein, whom everyone considers extremely reliable, she didn't panic or shout after realizing the situation. What she needed most now was to stay calm. After finding that there was nothing wrong with her body, Einstein was slightly relieved. It seemed that this was just a small accident. Shen Gonglin must have woken up in the middle of the night in a daze and accidentally wandered into her bedroom. After all, the relationship between her and him shouldn't be enough for him to do such a thing. Even if Shen Gonglin wanted to launch a night raid, she should have gone to Raiden Mei or Bronya. If all else failed, Theresa and Dr. Tesla were also possibilities. As for herself, she was the least likely one.
So it was definitely an accident. Now all we need to do is get out of this situation and go back to the lab. If anyone asks, just say you spent the whole night in the lab. That's the best way to handle this.
Having figured out a plan, Einstein tried to get out of bed and sneak back to the lab, but she quickly realized that this wouldn't work. Shen Gonglin a terrible sleeper; after pulling back the covers, Einstein discovered that he was not only hugging her waist but also had his legs draped over her. Was he using her as a body pillow? How was she supposed to get out of this position...?
After a little effort, Einstein found it too difficult to get up without disturbing Shen Gonglin. What should he do now? If he continued to be held by this guy, there would definitely be problems. Think about it, Einstein, with your smart brain, you must be able to come up with a solution.
After trying for a long time, Einstein could only turn over in Shen Gonglin's arms. The scientist calmly considered her options. Brute force was clearly not going to work at this time. If she made a noise, things would get worse. This was her room, and she and Shen Gonglin were lying like this, so even if she had a thousand mouths, she couldn't explain herself. Could it be that this guy was taking revenge on her? Last time, she climbed into his bed for scientific research, and this was his way of getting back at her? What a petty guy. She remembered Dr. Tesla saying that Shen Gonglin was indeed a petty person.
However, besides this, Einstein also heard something else from Tesla. Looking at Shen Gonglin's ears, Einstein suddenly remembered what Tesla had once said: this was probably the only way to solve the current problem.
A solution slowly emerged in Einstein's mind. Tesla had said that Shen Gonglin's ears were extremely sensitive, and even the slightest movement would make him restless. Although there was a risk of making things worse, this was indeed a solution worth trying. After all, things couldn't get any worse than they were now. Einstein could already feel Shen Gonglin's hand on his back gradually moving downwards. There was no time to lose; he had to act.
As expected of a scientist, Einstein never lacked the courage to try. She tried her best to raise her head and approach Shen Gonglin. Einstein did this without any distraction. With her arms bound by Shen Gonglin, the only thing she could use was her mouth.
Call...
Einstein gently blew on it, and the warm breath brushed against his ear, causing the sleeping Shen Gonglin to shiver. He instinctively hugged the thing in his arms tightly. When he was hugged like that, Einstein paused and almost cried out. Calm down, he had expected this result beforehand. He could just keep trying. Since blowing on it didn't work, he would try another method.
Like a caterpillar wriggling, Einstein stretched her neck and moved a little closer to Shen Gonglin. After hesitating for a moment, she finally opened her mouth and gently bit Shen Gonglin's ear. Her breath was filled with Shen Gonglin's scent. No, it was a little embarrassing.
"Ugh..."
He was about to give up, but then Shen Gonglin reacted. Einstein heard him make that sound and the force binding him seemed to loosen a little. Not bad, not bad, it really worked. Since it worked, he would continue to work hard.
He opened his mouth and bit down again. In this process of exploration, Einstein also mastered some special techniques. He felt that the strength of Shen Gonglin's hands was getting looser and looser. Einstein also slightly strengthened his movements. He felt that this was more interesting than his usual scientific research. Shen Gonglin was now completely under his control!
Chapter Seventy-Seven: Keep it a secret!
Hyperion, Shen Gonglin walked along the path leading to the laboratory with a puzzled look on her face. Today, Tesla and the others were going to try to find some remaining clues from the head of 2B Girl Humanoid Machine, and Shen Gonglin and the others also had to go there. However, Shen Gonglin's mind was not on this matter at the moment. She touched her ears and found that something was wrong. Her ears felt wet. What was going on?
"Doctor, was it really just that I slept in your bed...?"
Unable to figure it out, Shen Gonglin could only ask Einstein, who was traveling with her. Although the general direction of the teleportation was correct yesterday, there seemed to be some errors in the details. So, when she returned, she did not return to her own room smoothly but ran into Einstein's room. Fortunately, no one was in the room, otherwise it would have been another troublesome matter.
If Mei or Bronya found out, they probably wouldn't say anything, but they would definitely look at him like he was a heartless man, and Theresa would definitely lecture him.
"Probably. Anyway, I saw you sleeping in my room when I came back from the lab. As for what happened, I have no idea."
Einstein's tone was very calm, and the blue-haired girl was as languid as ever. Seeing Einstein's indifferent appearance, Shen Gonglin felt a little embarrassed. Einstein said that when she returned from the lab in the middle of the night, she found her asleep in her bed, which meant that the PhD student had to spend the day in the lab. Shen Gonglin felt very guilty. Shen Gonglin woke up early in the morning, and her conscience had not been completely worn down yet. This was the most normal time for Shen Gonglin.
"Oh, I see... Um, Doctor, I'm sorry, I must have been half asleep when I ended up in your room... Also, could you please keep this a secret for me? If Mei finds out, she'll definitely make dishes I don't like and force me to eat them under the pretense of a balanced diet. So, let's keep this a secret between us, okay? If you agree, you can have my milk for breakfast today, okay?"
Feeling quite embarrassed, Shen Gonglin clasped her hands together and stood in front of Einstein. Shen Gonglin, still possessing a conscience and integrity, was genuinely worried about this situation. She also had to consider her image; she knew that in everyone's eyes, she was the kind of person who was upright and reliable. Sleeping in a girl's room in the middle of the night was not a pleasant thing to say. Therefore, she could only ask the professor in front of her to keep it a secret. This matter should be kept internally and not told anyone else.
The secret between the two of them... Einstein's expression froze upon hearing this. Shen Gonglin was indeed asleep at the time, so his words now probably didn't have any special meaning. That must be it. Let this matter slowly fade away in the river of time.
"Okay, I understand. I won't tell anyone... It's a deal, you said you'd give me the milk today."
She managed her expression very well; Einstein had a remarkable ability to remain calm even when faced with overwhelming adversity. She always gave off a lazy vibe, and when she heard her agree, Shen Gonglin breathed a sigh of relief. That's good, thank goodness it's Einstein. She's probably the easiest person to talk to on this Hyperion right now. If this had happened to any of the other girls... Shen Gonglin didn't even want to think about it.
"I understand, I understand... Hey, Mei, you guys have arrived."
Finally relieved, Shen Gonglin walked into the laboratory with Einstein. Upon entering, they discovered that everyone else was already there. The android girl sitting in the center waved to Shen Gonglin as he entered, and she seemed to be in good spirits. Today's research should go smoothly.
"We've been waiting for you and the Doctor to come. Where did you go this morning, Jingu? Bronya and I went looking for you but couldn't find you. Hurry up and eat your breakfast. Luckily, it's not cold yet."
Mei is indeed Mei; the moment she opens her mouth, she exudes the air of a kindergarten auntie, like a daycare worker chasing after a child who won't eat properly. The others couldn't help but smile strangely at Mei's demeanor. Despite being a young girl, Mei always manages to give off this vibe; she's truly remarkable.
"Hey, you can't eat in the lab... How come you're eating with that Chicken Coop Head, and drinking his stuff too? Didn't you set the rules? Why are you breaking them?"
Tesla tried to dissuade her, but she found that Tesla simply took the milk from the tray and drank it. To her surprise, Shen Gonglin didn't react at all. How could she, with her petty and selfish nature, turn a blind eye to Einstein's behavior? No, that doesn't fit Shen Gonglin's behavior.
"Dr. Tesla, you know that rules are made by people, so reasonable adjustments are acceptable. Alright, now is not the time to dwell on this. Let's get started."
After downing the milk in his glass, Einstein wiped his mouth and nonchalantly got back to work. After all, it was his due. Putting aside the fact that Shen Gonglin had given him her milk before, he had also been hugged by him like a body pillow all night. Drinking a glass of his milk wasn't unreasonable, was it? He had only drunk a glass of milk and he had been hugged all night. Besides, he had even bitten his ear. Judging from his expression at the time, Einstein felt like he had lost out by drinking a glass of milk.
"I didn't expect you to come to this conclusion. Well then, I'll be eating lobster feasts in the lab from now on... I've already made preparations. Although that woman formatted this humanoid machine, there should still be some data left behind. Our task now is to find that data. It shouldn't be a problem."
Tesla didn't think much of Einstein's behavior. She glanced at Shen Gonglin, flicked her red twin tails, and got into work mode. Tesla was still wearing exquisite makeup today. Shen Gonglin must have noticed by now, otherwise why would she keep turning her head to look at her? Her makeup really worked!
Lobster feast... Shen Gonglin rested her chin on her hand and pondered. Come to think of it, Tesla looks a lot like a lobster now. No wonder Einstein called her Dr. Lobster Head. Those red twin tails are just like the two antennae of a lobster. Dr. Lobster Head and Dr. Chicken Coop Head ... they're really quite a fitting description.
Chapter Seventy-Eight
"Well, we've left everything to you, Doctor. As we said before, we failed. In the end, we still couldn't find Kiana's whereabouts. Our only gain was rescuing this little girl. Hopefully, she can be of some help."
Theresa said in a deep voice, a faint gloom between the little school principal's brows. Kiana's whereabouts were still unknown. Shen Gonglin was terrible with directions, and even though he had been traveling with Kiana for so long, he still wouldn't know where she was. They had finally managed to make a deal with Gray Serpent, but Rita ruined it. Now, all their hope was this formatted android girl, but she was completely inept at this. They could only leave it to the two doctors. Fortunately, they had some cooperation with Anti-Entropy, otherwise, they would really be in a dead end.
"Don't blame yourself, Ms. Theresa. After all, you escaped safely from Rita's clutches... and you even brought back the last hope, the humanoid machine... Oh, sorry, not the humanoid machine, it's 2B, I apologize."
Sensing the gaze from the android girl, Einstein offered a faint apology. At the same time, she reached out and patted 2B's head. This was another problem with Shen Gonglin; when the girl was being formatted and re-authenticated, she directly input the command for her to be named that. This girl really has a twisted sense of humor.
"... Rita is just as dangerous as ever. She looks gentle and harmless on the outside, but if you're not careful, she'll be staring at you with a creepy look behind your back... But this time, it's surprising that she showed mercy."
Speaking of Rita, Theresa revealed a rather indescribable look in her eyes. She was completely helpless against this woman. She had never been good at dealing with Rita before. This woman was like her nemesis. However, the situation was much better now. It seemed that her focus was now entirely on Shen Gonglin, and she was relatively safer.
"I think Rita is a really nice person. Look, she didn't try to kill us all this time. Besides, if it weren't for her, we wouldn't have been able to bring her back. If it were someone else on the mission, we wouldn't be here without a scratch. She's a good person."
Shen Gonglin was vehemently defending Rita, wondering how her wonderful personal maid could be described as a pervert by Theresa... Perhaps a little bit. Shen Gonglin felt that girls should be a little bit perverted, that's what makes it interesting, just like Rita. Right now, that maid held a very high position in Shen Gonglin's heart, almost equivalent to several Durandal.
"If it weren't for you, that maid would have definitely killed me. That maid is despicable. Believe me, I've been there before. Don't you know how she treated me? She was tying me up while apologizing to me. She was just playing with me! Next time I see her, I'm going to tie her up myself, stuff her into a silver bullet, and shoot her!"
Tesla perked up immediately at the mention of Rita, after all, she and Rita had a history of feuds. During the War of Schicksal, Tesla had been tied up like a gift by that maid. How could Tesla forget such a grudge? This was something she had to get revenge on. She hoped that the maid wouldn't get caught.
This maid only showed preferential treatment to Shen Gonglin. Normally, Tesla wouldn't believe she would be so kind and lenient. She must be worried that doing this would damage her image in Shen Gonglin's eyes. What a scheming woman! She completed her mission and gained favor with Shen Gonglin at the same time—a win-win situation. This woman is quite capable, but only a Shen Gonglin and innocent like Rin Jingu would be fooled by her. The intelligent Dr. Tesla wouldn't be deceived by Rita.
"This naive and innocent girl..." Tesla glanced at Shen Gonglin, who was helping to plug various cables into the android girl's visor. Yes, he was indeed a naive and innocent girl. Didn't he know that the maid definitely had ulterior motives towards him? Someone like Shen Gonglin would definitely be devoured by that maid. Shen Gonglin was an idiot and might not understand how dangerous this was, but Tesla knew perfectly well that he had to be careful to protect Shen Gonglin from being bullied by that maid in the future.
"Dr. Tesla, please refrain from making loud noises while working... Please focus on your work. Getting back to the point, after examination, it's confirmed that this 2B girl's data has indeed been formatted. The modified parts of her brain are now dormant. What's keeping her active is the unmodified part of the human brain. I'll try to recover the data to see if I can find any clues about Kiana. I need your help, Dr. Tesla. As for verbal revenge, Dr. Tesla, you can continue that during your rest time."
Checking the current condition of the humanoid machine, Einstein glanced at Tesla. Unlike the Dr. Lobster Head who was prone to getting angry, the Chicken Coop Head doctor was very calm and meticulous in his work. Pluging various wires into his computer, Einstein diagnosed the condition of the humanoid machine 2B. He had never seen this level of human modification before.
"Formatting erased the data in the quantum engine... but fortunately, there's still a part of her brain that belongs to the human. The human brain is a very sophisticated thing, sometimes even more powerful than a computer. A computer can delete data completely, but the human brain will always leave traces of anything it has memorized. I can use memory awakening to make her brain recall the data she once read. This requires rebuilding a personality system for her... but it seems that's not necessary now. Shen Gonglin has already built a personality system for her. 2B... Shen Gonglin, is this your taste? It's really terrible."
After Tesla joined the team, their analysis of the humanoid machine progressed rapidly. Things weren't as bad as they had initially thought. Shen Gonglin's haphazard actions had played a significant role, saving them a lot of work by eliminating the need to reshape the personality system. However, the name... well, maybe they were overthinking it. Call it whatever you want, as long as Shen Gonglin and this silly girl are happy.
Terrible taste? Shen Gonglin thought it was alright. He looked at Mei and Bronya with a puzzled expression, but the two little Valkyrie silently turned their heads away. To be honest, Shen Gonglin's taste in naming things was really not good.
Chapter 79 Human experiments were also conducted.
Tesla and Einstein began their adjustments. While the two scientists worked, everyone else watched them quietly. Even Shen Gonglin was well-behaved; he simply sat in his chair while Bronya massaged his head from behind. The powers of the Herrscher of the Void and the Universal Angel still couldn't coexist. His pupils were still one gold and one red, as if he had used the power of the Time Spirit. That feeling still lingered. He couldn't use either power casually, otherwise, the experience from last night... would continue.
"It's truly astonishing. The quantum computing engine in her brain possesses incredible computational power, and the principles it employs are completely different from those of Anti-Entropy or Schicksal... Is this the work of the World Serpent? With this level of technology, the World Serpent is not to be underestimated."
The deeper Einstein and Tesla studied, the more astonished they became. The brain modification surgery on the android girl 2B had reached a level that surprised them both. This kind of technology was already at the forefront of the world. It was hard to imagine that any other organization besides Schicksal and Anti-Entropy possessed this level of technology. World Serpent, this organization that had just surfaced, did not seem to be something that some cats and dogs had gathered together.
"World Serpent... I remember seeing it in Schicksal's files. The records show that World Serpent is just a secret organization that specializes in manufacturing all sorts of strange Honkai energy weapons. They have rarely been active in the open over the years."
Upon hearing the name of the organization, Theresa subconsciously frowned. She stroked her chin and explained what she knew about the World Serpent. At the time, Schicksal had concluded that they didn't need to pay much attention to it, but now it seemed that this strange organization was quite murky. The Gray Serpent was a member of the World Serpent, and even though he was dead, Theresa still felt a dark cloud hanging over him. It was truly an unsettling name for an organization.
"Anti-Entropy also has information about World Serpent. There are rumors that... World Serpent has been trying various researches on human modification. They claim that humanity has stopped evolving for too long and want to bring about a completely new change, allowing humans and Honkai to coexist. Sigh, after seeing this child, I'm starting to believe that this is not just a legend. Apart from the Bishop of Schicksal, have you ever seen such a crazy guy?"
Adjusting his glasses, Tesla interjected, marveling at the extent of human modification, especially considering the Gray Serpent's alleged alterations of him. "Is it really okay to modify the human body like this? Is this what they call evolution?" Tesla couldn't understand it. "What a crazy organization!" Tesla thought. "I feel like the Bishop of Schicksal would get along well with the World Serpent. After all, they're both madmen—one dedicated to human modification, the other ruthless in achieving their plans. Right now, it seems only Anti-Entropy is somewhat normal."
Although there are indeed a few lunatics within the Anti-Entropy.
"Isn't there one right in front of us? Although she doesn't conduct human experiments..."
After pausing his work, Einstein quietly looked up at Tesla. If we're talking about mad scientists, Einstein felt that Tesla was more deserving of the title than himself, since she was indeed quite mad.
"Hey! Chicken Coop Head, there's no need to keep harping on this. I've already said it, the Tunguska incident was just a failure, and I'm already reflecting on it... Besides, hehe, I've already started human experiments, and the subject is myself. Otherwise, what do you think caused the Herrscher of the Void to be defeated? It's all because of my God-Slaying Spear."
Tesla snapped at Einstein impatiently, then became arrogant again. Tesla was very proud of the fact that he had turned that high and mighty queen into a runaway Kiana with a single injection. This was all thanks to his research. Did that little Chicken Coop Head think he couldn't do human experiments? She was already outdated.
Wait a minute, conducting human experiments doesn't seem like something to be proud of, but advancing science requires volunteers. Tesla didn't use other people as guinea pigs; her guinea pig was herself.
"What a mad scientist! Dr. Tesla, didn't you ever consider the possibility of failure, using yourself as a test subject..."
Einstein shook his head. This lobster-headed guy really did have a crazy side. He wouldn't be surprised if Tesla did something like this. However, the God-Slaying Spear really played a decisive role this time. Otherwise, the damage caused by the Herrscher of the Void would probably still be ongoing. Dr. Tesla was indeed a great contributor this time.
"You did something like that! Human experimentation and all that? That serum was tested on you?"
This was the first time Shen Gonglin had heard of such a thing. He broke free from Bronya's massage and ran to Tesla's side. Shen Gonglin had some knowledge of these matters, and he couldn't believe Tesla would experiment on her own body. Was this girl insane? Shen Gonglin quickly grabbed her right hand. Her right hand, not covered by the mecha glove, appeared very fair, Shen Gonglin could even see the faint veins beneath the smooth skin. Shen Gonglin couldn't imagine that Tesla would dare to do such a thing. Although he had methods to deal with Honkai energy, he had only tried to remove uncontrollable Honkai energy from the human body. If Tesla really turned into some kind of Honkai Beast ...
"Well, there weren't any suitable guinea pigs at the time, and time was tight. If I hadn't developed it, I would have had to rely on you combatants to stop the Herrscher of the Void... The Herrscher is so powerful that it's too difficult to fight against her with manpower alone. So I could only test the God-Slaying Spear on my own body to see if it could neutralize the effects of the Honkai... It's alright."
With his arm held in Shen Gonglin's hand, Tesla felt the cool touch and his heart suddenly race. Why was Shen Gonglin suddenly holding him like this, and with such a worried expression? So he was worried about him. A little happy... no, Tesla felt like he was about to explode with happiness. When had someone as carefree as Shen Gonglin ever acted like this? It seemed like Tesla held a significant place in Rin's heart. Shen Gonglin, that guy, tsk tsk...
It was worth it. Tesla felt that it was worth using herself as an experiment. She wondered if there were still any God-Slaying Spear left, as she wanted to give herself a few more injections!
Chapter 80 The Scene of Social Death
"It's fine now, but it will be too late if something happens later, Tesla. Please promise me one thing."
After carefully examining Tesla's physical condition, Shen Gonglin didn't find anything alarming. But even so, he couldn't rest easy. This guy was just too reckless. He was already reckless enough on his own, but it turned out that others were doing similar dangerous things without his knowledge. In this world, he wasn't the only one working hard.
"You... you say it, I... I'll do whatever you say, okay? Whatever you say, I'll... I'll do it..."
Tesla whispered these words, her cute little face behind her red-rimmed glasses flushed. At this moment, Tesla felt that the others were getting in the way, but she also wanted an audience to witness this. It turned out that Shen Gonglin cared about her so much. This guy had always acted carefree, and Tesla thought he would always be that irresponsible person. Now it seemed that he was completely different from what she thought. Shen Gonglin could do some heartwarming things sometimes.
"Dr. Tesla... has she been possessed? It's hard to imagine that she could be so obedient... And what's wrong with you all? Mei, why did you draw your sword? And Ms. Theresa... I know you have a good set of teeth, but grinding them with chains is a bit too much, isn't it?"
Einstein's expression was one of utter horror. She would never have imagined Tesla would have this tender, almost effeminate side. She was truly possessed. Was the end of science really theology? Tesla was definitely bewitched. Einstein instinctively wanted to seek help from others, but who knew the others weren't quite right either? They were clearly preparing to kill someone... as for who they were going to kill...
Anyway, the rest of them definitely wouldn't be willing to lay a hand on Shen Gonglin.
Damn, this is what you call envy, jealousy, and hatred! Who has ever seen this side of Shen Gonglin? Mei and Theresa looked over there with complicated expressions, while Bronya was already silently preparing to summon Heavy-duty Rabbit for a shot. Bronya was very unhappy right now, Bronya wanted to blow something up.
"Promise me, if you really do become Honkai Beast one day... can I name you?"
With her hand on Tesla's shoulder, Shen Gonglin looked more serious than ever before. Her heterochromatic eyes stared intently at Tesla. This matter was very important, and Tesla had to agree to it!
"...What did you say?"
As his emotions subsided slightly, Tesla tilted his head. What was he talking about? What did he mean by turning into Honkai Beast? And what did he want to call him?
"Then I can really call you Godzilla -class Honkai Beast, that feels so cool, Tesla, do you feel the same way!"
Grabbing Tesla's hand, Shen Gonglin said excitedly. Upon hearing this, Theresa and the others silently lowered their weapons. As expected of Shen Gonglin, what they saw just now was just an illusion.
Silently freeing his small hand from Shen Gonglin's grasp, Tesla bent down and began searching the lab for a suitable tool. Where was the wrench? Where was that huge wrench he'd just left there? That thing would be really fun to smash someone's head with!
Just how much does he care about the name Godzilla? He always knew his own name; he just wanted to mispronounce it!
