Zhang Wei's words seemed to possess some kind of magic. Upon hearing his answer, Mobius's face first lit up with delight, but she quickly realized something was wrong. Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, but it was already too late.
"White Mouse, you..."
Mobius barely managed to point at Zhang Wei, but before she could finish speaking, she fainted and fell from the aircraft. Elysia hurriedly caught the tiny Snake Snake in her arms, staring at Zhang Wei with a confused, adorably blank expression.
"Captain, what are you doing? Why did you knock Mobius out?" Elysia believed Zhang Wei would not hurt Mobius.
"Someone wanted to make me her White Mouse, so today we're turning the tables. Elysia, you must have lots of cute little outfits, right? This is the perfect chance to let Mobius try some on." Zhang Wei smiled mischievously.
The power of corrosion combined with the power of consciousness was simply a perfect counter against Memory Body Mobius. She had no way to resist at all. However, Zhang Wei had merely put Mobius to sleep and had not caused her any harm. Well, that was not entirely accurate. When she woke up, Mobius would suffer emotional damage. Just imagine the size of her psychological shadow.
In the Elysian Realm, which was made entirely of data, the Erosion Herrscher's authority was practically unsolvable. Unless someone was willing to destroy the entire Elysian Realm alongside it, relying on Memory Bodies to deal with it would make it very difficult to resolve.
If the Elysian Realm were compared to a civilization, then the Erosion Herrscher was equivalent to the existence that brought Finality upon that civilization.
"Wow, nicely done~"
Elysia's eyes lit up. Carrying Mobius into her laboratory, she gently laid her on the experiment table before vanishing like a gust of wind.
"As expected of Mobius. Perhaps civilization has been holding you back!" Zhang Wei casually picked up an experimental record. With his vast store of knowledge, he could understand those technical terms. Mobius truly was a genius.
"I'm back!"
With sparks and lightning trailing behind her, Elysia rushed into the laboratory carrying a huge bundle. Along the way, the Flame-Chasers who happened to see her were completely baffled. They thought Elysia was moving house, but did not dwell on it. There were plenty of things Elysia did that they could not understand.
"Elysia, what are you planning to do?"
Seeing the mountain of clothes piled on the floor, Zhang Wei's mouth twitched. How long had she been saving these up? And they were all sized for someone like Mobius. Elysia, it seemed she had truly been plotting this for a long time.
"These are cute little outfits I carefully picked out for Mobius, lovingly made by dear Eden. But Mobius never wears them. This is such a wonderful opportunity!"
Elysia selected the first outfit. She could use "magic" to knock Mobius out herself, but a cute elf would never do such a thing. Since Zhang Wei had knocked Mobius out, she absolutely could not let such a perfect opportunity slip away.
"Take your time, then. Here's a camera. You can borrow it."
Zhang Wei was speechless. Eden really did spoil her, making so many clothes. Still, after fifty thousand years, they really would have been bored to death. They had plenty of time for this sort of thing.
Mobius probably liked green-toned clothes. These pastel little outfits were perhaps too childish in her eyes. If Mobius woke up and saw this, she would probably turn straight into a giant snake.
"Mhm, thank you."
Elysia hung the camera around her neck, bounced twice upon that springy heart of hers, and gazed at Mobius, who looked like a White Mouse, with shining eyes. The wheel had turned. Mobius never could have imagined that one day, she would become a White Mouse, though in a rather unconventional way.
Zhang Wei shook his head and left the laboratory. They were about to take off clothes, and as a stranger, he was not suited to watch.
An hour later, Zhang Wei wandered around the Elysian Realm by himself.
"Rumble!"
Without warning, an explosion erupted from Mobius's laboratory. The two sturdy doors were blasted straight off, green lightning bursting from within. A pink figure darted out at high speed, looking somewhat disheveled, her hair even slightly curled.
"Damn fat hag, get out here and die!"
Mobius emerged through gritted teeth, dressed in a pink maid outfit that made her petite form look even cuter. However, her face was full of embarrassed fury.
Most importantly, that woman Elysia had taken away all her normal clothes. Her wardrobe was now filled entirely with those cute little outfits, leaving her with nothing else to change into.
"Captain, why did she wake up so quickly? I still had so many little outfits I hadn't put on Mobius yet!" Elysia and Zhang Wei had hidden far away, and disappointment showed on her face.
"I forgot to tell you, I wasn't planning to suppress Mobius for very long in the first place, so she woke up quickly." Zhang Wei spoke helplessly.
Looking at Mobius, it was obvious that she had caught them red-handed. Still, Mobius in that pink maid outfit really was a limited edition. Tiny and adorable, she made people want to lift her high into the air.
"Hmph!"
Mobius had not completely lost her mind. It was only an outfit, after all. At most, it made her unhappy. However, she was even more interested in Zhang Wei now. The Power of Corrosion, along with the power of consciousness—she had no way to resist either as a Memory Body. If she wanted to lure him into the snake's nest, she would need to make long-term plans.
Glancing at the doors that had flown far away, Mobius's brow twitched wildly. She stormed back into the laboratory. She needed to find something normal to wear. If the other Flame-Chasers saw her in this outfit, she truly would be too ashamed to face anyone.
Damn Elysia, damn Zhang Wei. Just let me get a chance to put you on an experiment table. Otherwise, I'll turn you into slices.
"Captain, would you like to admire Mobius's adorable photos?"
Seeing Mobius leave, Elysia also breathed a sigh of relief. Even her soft pink hair had curled slightly; she had nearly become Explosive-Hair Elysia. Still, this was an unforgettable day. Limited-edition photos of Mobius were truly something one could only encounter by chance. Once they were developed, she would hang them in her room and admire them again and again.
"Maybe later. Mei should be nearly done making dinner. Call the Flame-Chasers over, and let's have a banquet together!" Zhang Wei shook his head. Once he was more familiar with Mobius, he could look at those adorable photos with a clear conscience.
"Mei's dinner? It'll definitely be delicious. But what I'm looking forward to even more is the Flame-Chasers gathering for a meal. How many years has it been since that last happened?" Elysia said with a smile.
Though the Flame-Chasers were not entirely harmonious among themselves, they were all dependable comrades. To Elysia, every one of them was important.
