"..."

Bianca shook her head helplessly again, then followed Mobius into her laboratory without hesitation.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Structural Department—

Muelsyse, who had just arrived at the Structural Department, also noticed the increased patrols and guards in the area.

Although she found it strange that her friend Saria would make such an arrangement, Muelsyse didn't think too much about it and simply assumed that something had happened that led to the change in arrangements.

Otherwise, it couldn't be specifically designed to protect oneself, could it?

Just thinking about it, Muelsyse thought it was unlikely.

After all, Saria was well aware of her abilities; as long as there was pure water, these guards would be no obstacle to her at all, so why bother with them?

After thinking for a moment and confirming that it wasn't aimed at her personally, Muelsyse began her grand infiltration plan for the night!

In the Structural Department room...

Ifrit was sitting on the bed in a daze, because she had read the picture book that Silence had given her countless times, and now she was just too bored.

As for what he was thinking about while spacing out... well, he was probably wondering if Mobius would come looking for him tonight.

Last night, because her pain suddenly stopped and she was being examined by Mobius, Ifrit forgot about one thing.

That was her heartfelt desire to thank the Mobius had examined and treated her body and even brought her candy.

Also, Ifrit only realized today that the Mobius, in some ways, even more powerful than she had imagined.

If Mobius's ability to relieve her body of pain was merely something Ifrit felt was impressive without any real understanding of its significance...

So, the fact that Silence and the others had been busy all day researching the drug that Mobius had injected herself with made the concept of "amazing" in her mind more concrete and relatable.

However, just as Ifrit was sitting on the bed, lost in thought and daydreaming...

The faucet suddenly turned on by itself, and crystal-clear water flowed out rapidly, gathering together and floating in mid-air.

This sudden turn of events quickly brought Ifrit back to her senses, and she looked warily at the large puddle of water in front of her bed.

Then, before the little dragon could do anything, the water gathered and slowly transformed into human form.

"Water, Water Spirit?!"

Seeing Muelsyse appear before her in this way, Ifrit's eyes widened and she cried out.

"Shh!"

"Keep your voice down, or you'll attract other people's attention."

Hearing Ifrit's scream, Muelsyse quickly bent down, held up a finger, and whispered.

The elf lady didn't want to be caught red-handed by the Structural Department, because if she wasn't careful, she wouldn't be able to explain herself clearly, and besides... she might also face Saria's questioning.

The thought of her angry friend terrified Muelsyse; it was terrifying.

"Who are you?"

Looking at the unfamiliar woman in front of her, Ifrit instinctively stepped back before asking a question.

"My name is Muelsyse. You must be Ifrit."

Glancing at the Water Spirit picture book held by the child in front of her, Muelsyse suddenly curled her lips into a smile. As she answered, a ball of water gathered in her hand, condensing into a small Muelsyse.

"This... this method of arrival and these abilities, are you really Water Spirit?"

As she spoke, Ifrit couldn't help but lean forward, staring intently at the condensed object in Muelsyse's hand.

"Mü... Müll..."

Ifrit then tried to call out Muelsyse's name, but after a few attempts, she gave up and asked, "Ah, Muelsyse! May I call you Muelsyse?"

"..."

Upon hearing this address, Muelsyse was slightly taken aback, but after a moment's realization, she couldn't help but laugh and say, "Oh! The name you chose is quite cute! Okay, I'll call you that from now on."

"Hmm...but I thought Water Spirit in real life would be prettier." Ifrit thought for a moment and said seriously.

Although she had never seen a real Water Spirit before, she always felt in her heart that a real Water Spirit should be as beautiful as Mobius.

Thinking of this, Ifrit suddenly felt a moment of disappointment. In her mind, Mobius was so powerful that he should be able to heal her quickly... but what about after that?

After the agreement ends, we probably won't see each other again... To be honest, she still wants to see what the Mobius looks like when it grows up; it must be very beautiful.

Hmm... she should be even prettier than this Water Spirit in front of her!

"Hmm...?"

Upon hearing Ifrit's words, Muelsyse suddenly felt as if an arrow had struck her chest. However, before she could react, she keenly sensed the momentary dejection in the little one's eyes.

"What's bothering you? You can tell me about it!"

"!"

Ifrit, who was initially feeling a little down, seemed to remember something after hearing Muelsyse's words. She quickly sat up, knelt down in front of her, and silently made a wish with her hands clasped together.

"?"

P. S.: Give it a push!

Chapter 92 "Ifrit, you... wet the bed?"

"?"

What are you doing?

Looking at Ifrit before him, Muelsyse asked with a puzzled expression.

"Of course I'm making a wish! Can't Water Spirit grant other people's wishes?" As she said this, Ifrit couldn't help but open her eyes, looking at Muelsyse with shining eyes.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Muelsyse was momentarily at a loss for words, and even felt a sense of helplessness, wanting to cover her face in embarrassment.

So, what did you wish for?

"Wishes won't come true if you say them out loud!"

In response to Muelsyse's question, Ifrit quickly shook her head and said...

"Huh? I can't even say that in front of the Water Spirit?!"

"No, you can't."

"Tsk."

"So, can Muelsyse really grant my wish?"

After their brief banter ended, Ifrit looked at Muelsyse with expectant eyes, hoping to get an answer from her.

"Of course!"

Looking into Ifrit's expectant eyes, Muelsyse nodded almost without hesitation, "acknowledging" her.

"But the Water Spirit's family isn't as powerful as it used to be, and I'm currently searching for a way to restore them to their former vitality..."

"But... even so, I'll try my best to help you Ifrit, Eve!"

"Oh! Thank you Muelsyse!"

After listening to Muelsyse's words, Ifrit replied seriously.

"I know, Ifrit has suffered a lot before, and many bad people have bullied you. I can help Ifrit teach them a lesson!"

Looking at the earnest-looking child in front of her, Muelsyse gently clenched her fist, her expression also becoming serious as she made her promise.

"Really?"

"Hmm, so tell me, how did those bad guys bully you, and what did they look like?"

"Um!"

While Ifrit was having a good exchange, Mobius was constantly busy.

Because tonight's experiments are all based on Mobius's theories and conjectures, she needs to constantly observe and record relevant data during the experiments.

However, theoretically speaking, the experiment that Mobius is currently conducting is relatively simple: he is having Bianca use the destructive power of the Abyss Flower to try to decompose the Originium she prepared in advance.

If this step succeeds, the next experiment can proceed... The difficulty of the next experiment will be far more intricate and challenging than simply disassembling Originium fragments.

Because the next experiment involves Bianca using the Abyss Flower's power to decompose the Originium within living experimental infected animals... while doing so, it's crucial to ensure the animals aren't harmed.

After all, this experiment will ultimately be used on humans, and if even that cannot be guaranteed, then both Bianca and Mobius will likely abandon the plan to use the Abyss Flower for treatment.

"It's a success. The Originium was decomposed without producing any other harmful substances or residues." Looking at the instrument in front of him, Mobius said to Bianca in a serious tone.

"Theoretically speaking, as long as you are careful enough when operating it, there shouldn't be any problems."

After several rounds of experiments, Mobius finally confirmed the success of the first step in this series of experiments.

"Um."

Upon hearing this, Bianca nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.

"Go over there and rest for a bit, get your energy back. I'll organize the data and information now, and then we'll start the animal experiments."

"Good."

Bianca didn't know much about experiments, so she had no objections to Mobius's arrangements. When told to rest, she went to rest.

To be honest, Bianca surprisingly quite liked Mobius when he was "working." He was serious, focused, and meticulous, and most importantly, he lost his "sarcasm."

Ifrit's Room--

"Yes, I will..."

"Da da--"

As the conversation drew to a close, Muelsyse, sitting by Ifrit's bed, opened her mouth as if to say something more, when a crisp footstep reached their ears, silencing her.

"Looks like I have to go. Goodbye Ifrit, don't worry, Muelsyse will teach those bad guys a lesson!"

"Hey, will you come again in the future?"

Hearing Muelsyse say goodbye, Ifrit hurriedly asked.

"I'll come see Ifrit again when I have time! Goodbye, remember to keep it a secret!"

As his last words faded, Muelsyse vanished, replaced by a large mass of transparent water.

However, once no one was controlling it, the water quickly dissipated and spilled onto Ifrit's bed and the floor of the room, causing Ifrit to gasp in surprise.

"Click--"

"Hey, Ifrit, aren't you asleep yet?"

As the door to the room was gently opened, Silence's puzzled voice followed.

"Hmm... Silence..."

Although she had sensed that Silence had arrived, Ifrit still felt a little nervous when Himer actually stood in front of her.

"Well...?"

However, at this moment, Silence's attention was not on Ifrit, but on a large, dark water stain on her bed.

After a moment of stunned silence, Silence slowly uttered a sentence that made Ifrit immediately explode. "Ifrit, you... you wet the bed?"

"I won't!!"

However, before she could get angry for long, Ifrit remembered her promise to Muelsyse... In the end, in order not to expose someone, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say to Silence.

"Um... I... I'm sorry!"

Honestly, if it weren't for the fear that revealing Muelsyse would ruin her wish, Ifrit would probably have exposed her already. After all, being misunderstood by Silence as having wet the bed... that's just too embarrassing!!!
