Experimental Results / Mobius's Temptation

"Director Saria, can you accept this result?"

"..."

This time, when faced with Kristen's question, Saria did not give any answer, but simply met the gaze of the person in front of her quietly with her eyes full of disapproval.

"..."

After making eye contact with Saria, Kristen suddenly felt a strange sense of panic. She then picked up the envelope from the table with two fingers and, as if changing the subject, said to the person in front of her:

"By the way, the mayor sent a letter of thanks. This mission was completed very well; it's all thanks to you."

"The rescue wasn't entirely successful; there are many unanswered questions, and I'm afraid there's still a lot of investigation to be done." Although she knew Kristen was changing the subject, Saria finally spoke up and gave her an answer.

"Furthermore, Haydn Laboratory may have conducted illegal experiments, so it's not the time to talk about credit."

"Muelsyse has already reported to me, but the mayor's only request is for rescue." After hearing Saria's words, Kristen raised an eyebrow slightly and said in a calm tone.

Although it wasn't stated clearly, the meaning behind the words was self-evident.

"There are clearly problems with Haydn Laboratory. If this isn't thoroughly investigated, there will be even more victims!"

"No, no investigation. The mission ends here."

"... Are you trying to cover up the truth again? Suppress public opinion, erase evidence, and let Haydn Laboratory get away with it?!"

After another pointless argument with Kristen about the mission, Saria, filled with mixed emotions of resentment and disappointment, turned and left the office.

However, although she didn't win against Kristen in the office, Saria didn't intend to give up her investigation, even though she had repeatedly encountered setbacks so far.

Because, just as she said, she wouldn't let the illegal lab that harmed Ifrit continue to get away with it and hurt more people... She would definitely find out the truth.

P. S.: It's almost over! Soon Saria can take her current wife and child and have sex with her. Mobius is ecstatic.

Okay, now let me recommend a book.

Chapter 103 Experimental Results

While Saria and Kristen, Mobius was also in his laboratory, preparing the materials needed for his experiment.

At the same time, Sakura also received the volunteers for this experiment and took them to the place that Mobius had prepared in advance.

To be on the safe side, Mobius did not choose to leave Rhine Lab himself. Instead, he had Sakura summon him directly from the prepared house.

This created the impression that she had not left the Rhine Lab headquarters building.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sakura."

After being summoned, Mobius glanced down at the volunteer who was lying on the experimental bed with his eyes closed, and said.

"It's just my duty. I'm happy to help you complete your Doctor in this area." Upon hearing this, Sakura gently curved her lips and replied in a gentle tone.

"Heh~ Go back and rest, Sakura. I'll have to trouble you again tonight." After hearing Sakura's words, Mobius, who had been in a bad mood all day, couldn't help but chuckle, and his bad mood eased a little.

"Well, I'll head back now. Good luck, Doctor. Remember to let me know when you're done with the experiment, and I'll summon you back." A hint of helplessness flashed in Sakura's beautiful azure eyes as she looked at the curve of Mobius's lips, before she gave him this instruction.

"Good."

After a brief farewell, Sakura left discreetly. Her sleep schedule had been disrupted and her tasks numerous these past few days; she really needed to go back and rest.

After Sakura left, Mobius turned his attention to the unconscious volunteer and then began preparations for the experiment.

As for why the volunteer was unconscious, it was because neither Sakura nor Mobius wanted to reveal their identities or the details of the experiment.

Moreover, it's more accurate to say the volunteers were under anesthesia rather than in a coma.

These things were not done on Mobius's own initiative, but were written into the terms and conditions. The volunteer had already agreed to all the terms before accepting the offer.

After all, while Mobius's bottom line is flexible, it still has its limits. She doesn't like having clueless lab mice on her lab table.

After preparing all the instruments and equipment, Mobius then summoned Bianca.

"Get ready, Bianca." With that, Mobius leisurely took a cage of laboratory animals from the side and placed it in front of the girl, continuing:

"To prevent you from getting nervous and making mistakes in the experiment, let's try it again with this one~"

"Um."

Looking at the experimental animals placed in front of her, Bianca nodded slightly, having no objection to Mobius's arrangements.

Rather, she'd love to do it this way. If she were asked to fight right from the start, she would feel very uncomfortable and nervous.

After all, there's a significant difference between animal testing and human testing...

After conducting another successful experiment on animals, Mobius and Bianca then turned their attention to the volunteers on the lab table.

"Call..."

However, compared to Mobius, who had a calm and composed expression, Bianca was much less composed.

While it wasn't exactly fear, the feeling of being experimented on on people still brought a sense of unfamiliarity and tension to the goose.

"Heh~ Is our mighty [Radiant Knight] afraid?" Mobius chuckled lightly, teasingly glancing at Bianca, who was clearly nervous.

"?"

"Mobius, stop joking around at a time like this!"

Bianca was taken aback by Mobius's sudden teasing, but after realizing what he meant, she said irritably.

"Hmm? Wasn't I just telling the truth? [Radiant Knight]'s thoughts are practically written all over his face."

"?..."

Bianca felt a surge of anger after Mobius's sudden outburst, but the tension and unfamiliarity she had felt earlier also subsided considerably.

"Alright, now that everything is ready, let's begin." With that, Mobius walked to the instrument beside him, preparing to start recording the relevant data.

"Oh, by the way, I probably don't need to tell you the extent of this person's treatment, do I?"

"I know, I won't let her fully recover."

After hearing Mobius's words, Bianca nodded slightly and replied.

Afterwards, Dai'e stopped worrying, took out the Abyss Flower from her spatial storage, walked to the volunteer's side, and prepared to begin her treatment.

The decision not to completely cure the volunteers' Originium infection was an unspoken agreement between Bianca and Mobius. It wasn't that the two were stingy or petty in not fully curing the people; they did it to protect the volunteers in the experiment.

A powerless, low-level infected civilian suddenly recovers from her illness and even receives a considerable amount of money. In this situation, even if she truly knows nothing about it, her fate is self-evident...

As for the fact that this volunteer was stubborn and kept his recovery a secret after returning home, continue with his life, don't worry, there will be people who care... Neither Mobius nor Bianca ever underestimated the darkness of human nature.

Therefore, from the very beginning, both of them focused on alleviating and treating "ordinary people," at least before the advent of Originium infection treatments.

With Bianca's focused and precise manipulation, the Black Abyss carefully decomposed the Originium particles and crystals within the volunteer's body.

Whenever she decomposed a relatively large Originium crystal, Bianca would stop and use White Flower's abilities to heal and repair the volunteer, preventing severe bleeding in certain organs.

This process continued until the amount of Originium particles in the volunteer's body decreased to the level the two had anticipated, at which point Bianca stopped the treatment.

"You've worked hard, take a rest. I'll examine her from now on." Mobius slowly walked to the lab table with the instruments, patted Bianca on the shoulder, and said.

"Good."

Upon hearing this, Bianca nodded slightly and stepped aside. After all, professional matters should be left to professionals.

After a thorough examination, Mobius reached his final conclusion.

"The volunteer is in good condition; the amount of Originium particles in their body has decreased significantly, and their previous Originium infection from Oripathy have also been cured."

"The experiment was a success. That concludes this afternoon's experiments. I'll contact you again tonight if needed."

Looking at the data on the instrument in his hand, Mobius calmly told Bianca the final results.

P. S.: There's another one later, but it probably won't be very early. I haven't been feeling well lately, so I'm writing slowly despite the pain, and my sleep schedule is all messed up.

Chapter 104 The Seduction of Mobius

Finally, to avoid trouble, and just to be on the safe side, after sending Bianca back, Mobius borrowed Rita to clean up the mess.

This included, but was not limited to, safely transporting the volunteers who were still under anesthesia home. After finishing up, Mobius and Rita quietly returned to where they were supposed to be.

Back in her lab, Mobius didn't rest. She started organizing the data she had collected and adjusting the anesthetic in her hand to make it more suitable for Ifrit's current condition.

After these things were done, the sun, which had been hanging in the sky, gradually slid down, leaving behind only a brilliant, fiery red sunset cloud in the sky.

"Click click..."

Setting down what she was holding, Mobius slowly stood up and stretched her limbs, which had become stiff from sitting for so long. After several more days of continuous work, even she could not hide her exhaustion.

After all, while Fusion Warrior are physically or mentally strong, they also experience fatigue and hunger.

Mobius hadn't felt it while she was working with great concentration, but now that she had stopped, fatigue and hunger overwhelmed her.

Because of Ifrit's unexpected situation, Mobius, who was in a hurry to prepare for the experiment at noon, didn't even have time to eat a bowl of instant noodles...

"Gurgle~"

"Hmm..."

Mobius clutched his protesting belly, glanced out the window, and after confirming it was still early, decided to leave the lab for the cafeteria.

As for why she didn't eat instant noodles... well, that's because Mobius also wanted to go out and gather some information, definitely not because she was tired of eating instant noodles these past few days.

Having made up his mind, Mobius tidied his clothes a bit, concealing his fatigue, before heading out to the Structural Department's cafeteria.

However, before she even reached the cafeteria, she encountered someone unexpected.

"Hmm? You shouldn't be here, little snake, or is this farce attracting you?" Mobius narrowed his gradient-colored eyes, looking at Ho'olheyak standing in the corner, and said with amusement.

"Well, although I prefer reading to understand the historical context, I do like to change things up sometimes. Besides, gathering intelligence is also part of my job." Facing Mobius, Ho'olheyak made no attempt to hide anything and frankly stated her purpose for coming here.

After all, in her view, hiding such a thing from someone like Mobius was completely pointless. On the contrary, it would only deepen the rift and even anger the person in front of her, which would be a loss.

"Heh~"

After hearing Ho'olheyak's frank explanation, Mobius suddenly chuckled softly, then looked at the person in front of him and said, "With Miss Spy's intelligence skills, you must have already discovered something, right?"

"!"

Mobius's sudden scrutiny and casual question startled Ho'olheyak, who had seemed quite at ease, and her body involuntarily tensed up.

Then his brain started working frantically, trying to decipher the meaning of Mobius's words.

However, the person's words were too vague, so Ho'olheyak couldn't immediately determine what exactly she was talking about and what she was trying to trick her into revealing.

"..."

After waiting for a while, Mobius still hadn't received the answer he wanted, and glanced at Ho'olheyak with some disdain.

Others might not be able to tell, but she could see that the seemingly calm person in front of her was actually pondering her words in her heart.

"I'm not interested in the little secrets you know. I'm talking about this matter, to be more specific, Ifrit." As he spoke, Mobius couldn't help but give Ho'olheyak a look of disdain once more.

"Uh... you mean this? I do know quite a bit about it." Even Ho'olheyak felt a little embarrassed and ashamed after being swept over twice by Mobius's disdainful gaze.

Tell me about it.

Upon hearing this, Mobius replied calmly.

"Um..."

Then, Ho'olheyak spilled the beans, explaining the current situation of the Structural Department and the condition of Ifrit, the experimental subject.

After listening to Ho'olheyak's account, Mobius remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was quite satisfied, as she had obtained the information she wanted.

However, knowing this was one thing, but Mobius didn't want others to be able to guess or fathom her thoughts. So she sneered and said, "Heh, you should know that's not what I wanted to ask. Or has your Feathered Serpent lineage become so foolish?"

"..."

Staring at the sneering person before her, Ho'olheyak remained silent for a moment before speaking with a hint of self-abandonment, "I do know that it was you who injected Ifrit with the drug..."

She paused here, then quickly added:

"However, this matter wasn't obtained through normal intelligence gathering; it was based on my guess... You handled this matter perfectly, so perfectly that you didn't leave a single clue."

"If I hadn't known your identity beforehand, I probably would have been completely fooled by you as well."
