Collapse: I'll Transform and Punch You Directly

Su smiled, sticking a few paper strips on his face, and showed the cards in his hand, confident he could win this round!

"..."

Cosmo, sitting beside him, had almost as many white strips on its face as Chijie, having barely won since they started.

"She seems to be waking up."

Although Cosmo's eyes were hidden behind the white paper, it noticed Lin stirring.

"?"

Bai Chen turned to look at Lin, and sure enough, he saw her eyebrows twitching a few times before she gradually woke up.

The moment she opened her eyes and saw Bai Chen, her confused expression instantly turned to horror.

"No! Don't kill me!"

Upon seeing Bai Chen, she instantly recalled everything that had just happened – Bai Chen using a power she couldn't resist to knock her down, then piercing her body.

That excruciating pain felt as real as if it were happening now.

Seeing the person who had ended her life again, fear instantly filled her mind.

"..."

Seeing Lin's fear of Bai Chen, the others couldn't help but show strange expressions.

So young, yet playing so hard?

"Hey? Why are you all looking at me like that? It's a misunderstanding!!"

Seeing the increasingly strange looks from the Flame-Chasers, Bai Chen quickly spoke to stop them from letting their imaginations run wild.

"I was saving you, okay?"

Although he acted rather violently, he really did act with the intention of saving Lin.

So, Bai Chen explained everything to everyone.

When Bai Chen explained how Lin had been subjected to human experimentation, Chijie audibly clicked its tongue in displeasure. "Tch."

"If I really wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have put that thing on you to save your life."

Hearing Bai Chen's words, Lin felt something strange on her head, like she was wearing a hat of some kind.

Lin reached out to touch the object a few times, finding it particularly smooth and comfortable to the touch.

"Huh? Is there something on her head? Something that's been keeping her alive?"

Vill-V, who was also curious about Lin's condition, reached out and touched Lin's head.

"Hmm, hmm, I see."

Vill-V rubbed Lin's forehead with a serious expression, and after a while, she said in a matter-of-fact tone, "It's panties!"

"?!"

"Huh? Are you talking nonsense?"

"Hmm??"

Everyone present changed their expressions upon hearing Vill-V's answer, and Chijie directly reprimanded her.

"Griseo, don't listen."

Aponia calmly covered Griseo's ears with both hands to prevent her from being influenced by such foul language.

"Really?"

Vill-V snatched the thing off Lin's head, leaving Lin alone on the sofa, blushing and at a loss.

The thing she was wearing was someone's panties?! Thinking about it carefully, the texture and shape were indeed...!! Just bury me somewhere!

Bai Chen, of course, couldn't hear Lin's internal screams. He rushed forward and snatched the panties from Vill-V's hand, storing them back into his system space.

"Don't mess around, it's called the Dignity Artifact."

"Huh? It's clearly panties. Did you make such soft fabric invisible?"

"Who knows? It's like I have no idea when I transform."

Bai Chen claimed he really didn't know.

Then he prepared to go back. Now that he had saved the person, he just needed to wait for Dr. Maki to contact Anti-Entropy.

"Wait, thank you for saving me, young man. Do you know where my grandfather is?"

Lin asked cautiously, knowing that Bai Chen had saved her life, but that claw that pierced her chest still left her with some trauma.

"Your grandfather is busy with some things right now. I need to finish my investigation before I can take you to see him."

Bai Chen replied calmly.

Just kidding, he threw her into a World Bubble to create the illusion that she was dead.

If he let her out to meet her grandfather now, wouldn't her grandfather betray Schicksal?

So much effort just to feel at ease when drawing a little old man; maybe I should just let you out now.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of your grandpa."

"You... Mobius, you should pay for what you did last time..."

Bai Chen's gentle expression instantly turned sinister.

"Uh!"

Mobius, who had been watching the fun from the sidelines, didn't expect the fire to suddenly burn her. Her smile instantly froze on her face.

"You wouldn't be angry about what happened last time, would you?"

Mobius said, breaking out in a cold sweat. Although she was wrong last time, she was the one who suffered, okay? Now she's as flat as a board!

"I am."

The smile on Bai Chen's face became dangerous. He wanted to take Gray Serpent away, he wanted to take his mommy away.

"Can we reconcile?"

"What do you think?"

Inside the Intrinsic World's laboratory, all the staff had left.

Dr. Maki was still sitting on a chair, holding a wooden box in a daze. The box contained the ashes swept up from the laboratory.

"Otto... Schicksal..."

Maki suppressed the anger in his heart, and then tears of pain slid uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes.

"I'm sorry... Lin... I'm sorry... everyone..."

Maki apologized with regret to the Valkyries who had died in the experiments, but no matter what, he couldn't calm his regretful mood at this moment.

Then, his gaze fell on the Serenity Gem, which was sealed and preserved in the laboratory, and an idea rose in his heart.

Chapter 81: Hooked

"Uh, you actually did that!"

Mobius, wearing casual clothes, stared at Bai Chen with some vigilance.

Now she had been brought from the World Bubble to the Intrinsic World by Bai Chen. In a sense, Bai Chen had also fulfilled Mobius's wish.

"Not finding a space to lock you up is me being merciful. Now, you should serve me well. Maybe one day I'll give you your freedom."

Bai Chen grinned. Who told her to be so vindictive?

"Hmph, aren't you afraid I'll just run away?"

Mobius glanced at Bai Chen and smiled sinisterly.

Bai Chen found Mobius's statement a little funny. Run away? Where can you run? I can pull you back with a Dimensional Wall.

No... Bai Chen didn't bother to answer her.

"Dr. Mobius, you wouldn't want Klein to have any problems, would you?"

Bai Chen approached Mobius and said cheekily. Originally, he thought Mobius would be a little angry, but he found that the smile on Mobius's face was even bigger.

"Are you smiling?"

Anyway, Bai Chen felt that as long as Mobius smiled, she was definitely up to no good.

"No, don't worry, I can handle small things."

Mobius said that she was also an adult, and taking care of children was a piece of cake.

A moment later.

"Don't worry my ass!!"

Bai Chen couldn't help but spit out the tea in his mouth. Tea devil! It's several times more bitter than unsweetened coffee!

No! It's so bitter my head hurts!

Bai Chen painfully pinched his temples with one hand, and kept scraping his tongue coating with the other, triggering bursts of dry heaves!

No, it feels like the taste has pickled my tongue!

After a while, Bai Chen recovered and looked weakly at Mobius: "Do you normally drink this stuff?"

Mobius took the remaining green liquid from Bai Chen and drank it directly, then smacked her lips and said:

"Is it that exaggerated? It tastes normal?"

Does Mobius usually drink this kind of drink when she's not feeling well?

Seeing Mobius drink the rest of the drink with a normal expression, Bai Chen felt that his brain was connected to the universe for a moment.

After a while, Bai Chen's soul returned, and he sincerely sighed that everyone's sense of taste was indeed different.

"Bai Chen? Why is your face so pale?"

Just as Bai Chen was about to pour out all the remaining mysterious green juice in the pot, Rita's voice came from behind him.

After the match, Rita calmly glanced at Mobius before stepping forward to wipe the liquid from Bai Chen's lips with a handkerchief.

"Whoa! Don't treat me like a kid."

Bai Chen brushed Rita's hand away and held up the teapot.

"Mobius just made me some energizing tea. Rita, would you like to try some?"

"Oh? Since Bai Chen is offering, then Rita will give it a try."

Rita, with her knowledge of tea ceremonies, was naturally curious about this tea. Considering it was brewed by Mobius, Rita figured there shouldn't be any major issues.

Speaking of Mobius? Is that the little girl's name?

With a hint of anticipation, Rita poured herself a cup and took an elegant sip.

Then, Bai Chen noticed Rita's usually soft body instantly stiffen like a rock.

The teacup, which she had been holding so gracefully, trembled slightly.

Elegance, elegance, Rita must maintain her elegance! A professional maid cannot reveal such an unsightly appearance!

Although Rita maintained a gentle smile on her face, a trace of green liquid involuntarily dripped from the corner of her mouth.

Then, Rita maintained that posture, abruptly stood up from the chair, and walked shakily towards the outside, trembling all over.

She didn't even say goodbye or acknowledge Bai Chen, disappearing alone into the sunset...

Bai Chen looked speechlessly at Mobius, but Mobius turned her head and continued drinking tea, avoiding eye contact with Bai Chen...

Even Rita-nee-san is breaking down, Mobius, can you make anything normal?

But Rita-nee-san is strong; she actually managed to hold it down without vomiting, that first mouthful was a gag reflex.

Well... it certainly is energizing.

Getting to know green tea isn't easy. Bai Chen didn't choose to pour out the drink; he directly found something to preserve the cup of beverage.
