Elysia: Pamper Me!

Mobius looked at Zhu Yufeng. She had indeed heard a series of hurried footsteps just now, and she hadn't expected Zhu Yufeng to arrive so quickly.

"Ha, I'll be fine even if something happens to you," Mobius said, arms crossed.

After checking on the already deceased Erwin, Sue thought, "..."

If it weren't for the woman next to Marshall suddenly turning against him, the situation would probably have been reversed. As an outsider, what Mobius wanted to say was that with someone like Feng, neither arrogance nor nagging would work.

Admil looked at Mobius, then at Zhu Yufeng, lost in thought.

Zhu Yufeng didn't care about any of that. He just breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Modesti again.

"Don't look at me like that. After all, I'm your partner now, aren't I?" Modesti said with a smile. "When do you plan to fulfill our previous agreement, Dr. Mobius?"

"Since I made a promise to you, and you gave me what I wanted, then of course I will give you what you want," Mobius said. "But in the short term, you probably won't be able to return to 'Arc Moon.' Even so, I can assure you that you will get the position you want."

"Heh..." Modesti shrugged helplessly. "I didn't have a choice, did I?"

After confirming that everything was alright, Zhu Yufeng relaxed his tense nerves, and a wave of dizziness washed over him.

Su was the first to notice something was wrong. "Feng, your face looks like..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Yufeng stumbled and fell forward. Hearing Su's voice, Mobius looked at Zhu Yufeng and caught him as he fell.

It was only because Zhu Yufeng urged Mobius to stick to the necessary training that he was able to catch him when he fell; otherwise, Mobius would most likely have been unable to catch him and would have been pulled backward by him.

Only then did Mobius lose her coldness and become somewhat flustered. She quickly checked Zhu Yufeng's pulse and breathing. Fortunately, he was still alive, just unconscious.

"Take him to the infirmary first. Admil, arrange a place for Modesti for me. As the deputy director of the Third Research Institute, this should be easy for you, right?" Mobius said. "As for Erwin, I will forgive and forget what he did. You can handle it however you think is appropriate."

"I understand." Admil readily obeyed Mobius's instructions. Although his teacher was kicked to death by Zhu Yufeng, in truth, his teacher was too stubborn. He had no reason to cause any unreasonable emotional outburst. At the same time, he vaguely sensed that Erwin was involved in the assassination attempt. The fact that Mobius didn't pursue the matter indicated that Erwin's reputation would not be damaged afterward, so he wouldn't say anything more.

As for Modesti's whereabouts, Admil quickly came up with a plan and said to Modesti, "Come with me."

Admil didn't care what kind of deal existed between her and Mobius.

Sue watched Modesti and Admil leave, pondering why someone from an assassin organization would make a deal with Mobius. Admil didn't care, but Sue had to wonder what Mobius was planning. And now that Xila had also appeared, could it be... that Mobius was preparing to take control of an assassin organization herself and then purge those who opposed her?

If it were the previous Mobius, Sue wouldn't think she would do that, but this time the situation is different.

In order to ultimately defeat the Honkai, it would be best if the Fire Moth, the main force against the Honkai, had only one voice. Although all the high-ranking members of the previous Fire Moth were primarily focused on fighting the Honkai, their ideas were too divided, and they were constantly vying for power, ultimately...

"Hey, stop staring blankly. I can't take Yu Feng to the infirmary by myself," Mobius said irritably.

Su then regained his composure and helped Zhu Yufeng and Mobius head back the way they came. When they arrived at the shelter, they saw Xila, who was still unconscious on the ground. Mobius then asked Su to take Xila to the infirmary as well.

After a brief examination in the infirmary, Mobius looked at the data and said, "The result is that Yu Feng fell into a coma because he consumed too much Honkai Energy in a short period of time..."

Did he consume too much Honkai Energy? Given Zhu Yufeng's current constitution as a Lawyer, how much Honkai Energy would it take to cause this situation?

Considering the time it took Zhu Yufeng to resolve his battle with Xila and arrive to provide support, Mobius speculated that this was probably due to him using some abilities related to his powers.

Of all the known legal powers, time is the most unique, because it can manifest in many forms: boundary setting, time pause, time acceleration, time reversal... Speaking of time, one might think of the Finality... As a legal being born just before the Finality, what exactly is Zhu Yufeng's so-called time power? Mobius still doesn't understand.

She knew that Zhu Yufeng could revert to his previous state shortly afterward. Judging from the fact that he had no wounds, he must have been exhausted during his fight with Xila. If that was why he lost consciousness due to excessive consumption of Honkai Energy in a short period of time, it would not explain why he only fainted after arriving at her side.

"Is that the Honkai Energy consumed on the way here?" Mobius wondered. After all, Honkai Energy omnipotent. Warriors who can use Honkai energy well can improve their physical attributes for a certain period of time by driving Honkai Energy. But to achieve that level, one basically needs to be at the level of Fusion Warrior, or it can be done by the Stigmata Awakening that is expected to appear in the next era.

Judging from Zhu Yufeng's various test results, it doesn't seem like he used Honkai Energy to forcibly enhance his physical abilities...

"How is Xila's condition?" Mobius asked Su.

"She's still under anesthesia and won't wake up for a while," Su said, looking at Xila who was tied to the bed.

After a while, Zhu Yufeng opened his eyes, rubbed his head and sat up. "How did things go?"

Mobius crossed his arms and looked at Zhu Yufeng with narrowed eyes, saying, "You kicked Erwin to death, Xila has also been captured. But I'm curious, how did you fall into a coma due to Honkai Energy consumption?"

Hmm... she recovered quite quickly, she woke up in no time.

Zhu Yufeng recalled the previous situation and then said, "When I came here, I might have subconsciously used a time-related ability, something like... self-time acceleration?"

"Self-time speed variation?" Mobius and Sue exchanged a glance.

"Because the Honkai Energy my body can hold right now is limited, it's impossible to achieve time slowdown across the entire world, right?" Zhu Yufeng said. "But when I arrived here, in my eyes, whether it was the director or the other two, they were all in slow motion. That's why I could see clearly and judge what he was going to do the moment he took out his knife."

"That is indeed a reasonable explanation." Mobius nodded, then looked at Su. "Next, you won't get involved in what Yu Feng and I are going to talk about, right? The assassination attempt against me is over, and what I do next is my business."

Su paused for a moment, then looked at Zhu Yufeng and said, "Take good care of your health. Even though you are a lawyer now, without the lawyer core, excessive use of Honkai Energy could still damage your mind and body."

"I understand." Zhu Yufeng nodded.

"Then I'll go with Admil to see the damage the Third Research Institute suffered during this assassination attempt," Su said before leaving.

"I thought he'd insist on staying here and spout some boring platitudes at me," Mobius scoffed.

"When words fail to change the course of events, Su will give up on futile persuasion. Rather than making everyone unhappy, he'd rather do what he should do afterward." Zhu Yufeng smiled helplessly. Wasn't it precisely because Su saw that Kevin was beyond reasoning with 50,000 years later that he resorted to force?

Mobius then looked at Xila: "The equipment here is still too rudimentary. I'll give you a full check-up after we get there. As for that 'self-time anomaly' you mentioned... let's conduct the experiment there as well. After all this effort, we've finally brought a Fallen Angel into our ranks."

"Maybe in a few months, Lilith will pack herself up and Mostima together and send them to the Fire Moth?" Zhu Yufeng thought to himself.

"I'll announce that the assassin in this operation is dead... I still have the drugs ready to put Xila into a state of temporary suspended animation." Mobius's lips curled into a cold smile. "I'm going to settle all the scores from before..."

Zhu Yufeng looked at the sleeping Xila, remained silent for a while, and then said, "Will Xila wake up before we return to headquarters?"

"According to the test results, she should wake up in another hour," Mobius said. "So, what do you want to say to her?"

"Yes, although I know she has no memories of her previous life, I still want to have a chat with her," Zhu Yufeng said. "Is that alright?"

Mobius sighed softly, squinting as he said, "Considering how hard you tried to save me this time, I'll allow you to talk to her a little for now."

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

Why does he act like he's henpecked?

(Elysia:?)

"I also need to take care of some matters and discuss the upcoming tasks with Admil and Modesti. Don't worry, during this time, I'll use the excuse of needing rest to prevent anyone else from entering." Mobius's lips curled into a slight smile. "So, you can do whatever you want here!"

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

That sounds a bit strange.

After Mobius left, Zhu Yufeng took out his phone, intending to play some games to pass the time, when he saw a message from Elysia: "Hi~ Feng, how's the situation over there?"

After a moment of silence, Zhu Yufeng typed. "Elysia, I remember you can't contact me right now, right? Or has the matter you were investigating been ended ahead of schedule?"

"Hmm, no, it's just that I haven't chatted with you for a few days, and I'm feeling a little lonely~"

After sending the message, Elysia glanced at Vill-V, who was working on the computer, and continued typing, "I asked Vill-V for a little help. Don't worry, everything will be fine~"

It was Vill-V...

Zhu Yufeng typed. "How's everything going on your end?"

"Well, by the way, Vill-V asked me to ask you, did you have Rovoc and Admil investigate the place where you were found? What were their conclusions?"

Zhu Yufeng recalled for a moment and then replied, "When Admil and Rovoc went to investigate, a long time had passed, and the information they could obtain was limited. Apart from Admil discovering that the Honkai energy he deduced from the residual Honkai Energy that the Honkai that occurred when I arrived was abnormal, they did not obtain any valuable information."

"I see... Well, I have another question. Has Lilith contacted you in the past few days?"

Zhu Yufeng: "???"

How did Elysia know?

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Yufeng replied, "Did Vill-V tell you?"

"After all, your phone is also under Vill-V's surveillance range~ Do you want to see the photos she sent you?"

Even through the screen, I could feel a murderous aura.

So what should he do at this point? After a brief moment of thought, Zhu Yufeng said, "From a generally rational perspective, it is indeed very difficult to see."

If I tell Elysia a lie, she'll definitely be unhappy, so I'll just have to tell the truth.

I'm so smart. jpg

Elysia: "..."

Can't this blockhead try to think a little harder? Of course she knows Lilith is blind, but since she's already asked this question, can't she at least try to comfort her? Like saying Elysia is much cuter or something.

Elysia typed with a speechless expression. "Would you like to see what cute clothes I have in my wardrobe?"

"Where does this unfounded competitive mentality come from?"

Elysia: "???"

"There's no need to compare yourself to Lilith in this regard. I think she's mostly showing this to you, because I've seen it quite a few times before."

Elysia: "..."

Although Feng seemed to be comforting herself, she felt like she'd been stabbed in the back again. Had she seen Chong's work quite a few times before?

After thinking for a while, Elysia pouted and typed. "I'm unhappy, you have to comfort me!"

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

You should have said so earlier... As for how to coax girls, uh... he doesn't seem to be very good at it...

"When you come back, shall we go to the amusement park again?"

"Just the two of us?"

"Just the two of us."

"That's more like it, but I'm still a little unhappy~"

"We can go see the fireworks again later. It's summer now, and there's a fireworks show held every August in the Far East. Let's go together then."

"This is something you already promised me, so it doesn't count!"

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

Girls are so hard to please.
