A Multiple-Choice Question

Seeing Mei still hesitating and dithering, unable to make up her mind, Zhang Wei decided he'd had enough.

"Why so much nonsense? Get over here!"

Using the power of his consciousness, Zhang Wei directly stuffed Mei into that body. Mei was completely dumbfounded throughout the process, and even Prometheus failed to react in time.

"Release Dr. Mei!" Prometheus immediately activated the weapon systems here, intending to give Zhang Wei a baptism of artillery fire.

"Little Pro-Ya, your firepower is useless!"

"Bzzz bzzz bzzz..."

Zhang Wei clenched his hand, and electromagnetic force powerful enough to alter the Moon's magnetic field erupted within this World Bubble. Every weapon that had just emerged was instantly crippled into a pile of scrap metal.

With his hands clasped behind his back, Zhang Wei slowly walked toward Prometheus like a god.

Prometheus was now attached to the Cocoon of Finality—the so-called Will of Honkai—so in theory, she had no flesh-and-blood body. This body had also been made by Dr. Mei and infiltrated during the Previous Civilization, proving once again just how formidable the Previous Civilization had been. They were truly all maxed out in every category. Though he already had the AI Ai Yi, Zhang Wei certainly didn't mind getting another duck.

"Pretty lifelike. Dr. Mei's craftsmanship is quite good!" Zhang Wei pinched Pro-Ya's bionic skin. It felt much like normal skin, though it clearly lacked much in the way of bodily sensation. Pro-Ya still wore that same expression.

"Interested in my Soulium body? You really are quite the pervert," Prometheus said expressionlessly. Zhang Wei's mouth twitched furiously, while Kiana was already rolling on the ground laughing. Watching the Captain suffer was one of her greatest sources of joy. Besides, Finality's clothes would not get dirty; a little Honkai Energy would clean them right up.

"Kiana, laugh again and I'll pin you down on the Moon and screw you!" Zhang Wei said darkly. Kiana's laughter could probably be heard all the way at the Cocoon of Finality, let alone by him standing so close.

"Ahem, then never mind!" Kiana immediately sat upright. If she got fucked on the Moon, she would be mortified—especially with strangers watching. Her skin was not that thick.

"How does it feel, Dr. Mei?" Zhang Wei looked at Mei, who was testing out her body. Only the person herself had the final say on whether it suited her.

"Very good. Its Honkai Energy resistance and adaptability are beyond imagination. If only back then... Forget it. I'm not the real Mei either."

Mei took out an instrument and performed a simple examination. It was a very healthy body, with data not too different from that of the Previous Civilization. However, its Honkai Energy resistance and adaptability were three times those of the Previous Civilization—already enough to successfully undergo Fusion Warrior surgery.

"Dr. Mei, how do you feel now?"

Ignoring Zhang Wei, Pro-Ya floated directly toward Mei. Her voice was calm, but it carried concern. Dr. Mei clearly held an extraordinary place in her heart.

"Don't worry about me. You should be able to resolve the matter with Number 17 too, right?" Mei smiled and reassured her.

"Of course. I can let her leave this world, but her connection to the Cocoon will not be severed for the time being. After all, this civilization's exam still requires Pro-Ya's participation," Zhang Wei said meaningfully.

It had to be said that the Honkai in this world was completely different from that of Guns Girl Z. One was easy mode, while the other was hell mode. Even Kiana could not help but sigh. What a sunny world this was.

"Alright."

Mei nodded. Prometheus followed Mei's instructions, so she did not offer any opinions of her own.

After sorting through the data here, Mei returned to Earth with them.

"Just as I thought!" When Mobius saw Mei, she was not particularly surprised. After Zhang Wei had taken Mei's bodily blood components from her, she had known that the day she saw Mei again would come.

Mei blanked out for a moment. Considering her own situation, she quickly deduced Mobius's origins: a Memory Body from the Elysian Realm. She nodded to her. It seemed she would be able to see the other Flame-Chasers later as well, and she could not help feeling a little expectant.

"Prometheus, so you were here too. I thought you had already disappeared!"

"Finality Assistant 0017, Dr. Mobius!" Pro-Ya corrected her form of address. Mobius was slightly dazed upon hearing it. Before the Previous Civilization was destroyed, she and Pro-Ya had spoken like this.

"Prometheus, the thief of fire. I have to say, you did well."

Mobius offered a rare word of praise. Over these years, she had not merely been hibernating; she had also studied the intelligence Gray Serpent brought back. The First Herrscher was the Herrscher of Reason, and the Second Herrscher was the Herrscher of Void. Though they had obtained other Authorities, that was unimportant. They were examination papers that had already been used.

"Mei, so it's you. Long time no see. Did you miss me?"

Elysia was a true wanderer who went everywhere, so it was never strange to see her anywhere. The moment she saw Mei, she immediately wrapped herself around Mei's arm and pressed close to her.

"Elysia, you're still the same. But... I really did miss you!" Mei smiled helplessly. She was still very happy to see Elysia. In the Previous Civilization, Elysia's ending had been a shared regret among Elysia's friends.

"By the way, now that you're back, shouldn't you meet Kevin?" Elysia asked.

"Mm."

Mei nodded. She wondered how that big boy was doing now. Was he still as cold as ever?

Back in the Previous Civilization, after Kevin joined Fire Moth, Mei had never seen his sunny side again. The heavy responsibilities he carried made her heart ache deeply. The path to becoming a hero was lonely, and one had to endure much pain.

Now, perhaps she could peacefully live a happy life with Kevin. As for the affairs of the current civilization, she would not treat them as she had in the Previous Civilization. This was the battle of their generation. At most, they would only be observers.

"Then there's a problem. Kevin's Memory Body from the Elysian Realm will gain a body and return, and in the future, Kevin from the Sea of Quantum will return as well. Mei, how will you choose?" Elysia gave a mischievous smile.

Mei: "..."

Mobius: "!!!"

Zhang Wei silently gave her a thumbs-up. Elysia's question really came from a tricky angle. Having both was definitely impossible, and Mei could not do something that outrageous. In the end, she could only make one choice.

Mei clutched her head in pain. As a genius of the Previous Civilization, she was now stumped by a question like this. "Captain, right? How about sending me back instead? This body can be destroyed directly."

She suddenly felt that dying again did not seem like such a bad thing. At least she would not have to answer this kind of multiple-choice question.

Even Prometheus, an artificial intelligence, seemed to have her CPU smoking from the calculations. This question was not in her database, making it very difficult to answer.
