No Traitors Here-Let's Have Some Mobius Jokes / All About That Blockhead
"Can't you treat me differently from everyone else? Like you did at the ball... as a special person."
"Only for me, a little special."
Chapter 114 No Traitor, Just Some Mobius Jokes
"... What do you mean by 'special'?"
Lin tilted his head; he really had no concept of this abruptly appearing, broad term.
After all, he had always thought that the few people he had been in contact with were just a little special.
"Simply put, there are some things you can only do to me, not to anyone else; there are some things you can only say to me, not to anyone else." Mobius was already itching to get angry at Lin's innocent appearance, but he couldn't let his temper flare, so he could only suppress his rage and say, "Understand?"
"For example?"
"For example... you can't do that to other women like that at the ball."
"... Then why can men?" Lin asked, puzzled. "Wasn't it supposed to be special?"
"Because..." Mobius simply couldn't understand Lina's mind, which was sometimes shrewd and sometimes as single-minded as an old-fashioned computer. "Because there are differences between women and men, isn't that a kind of special treatment in itself?"
"... Does dancing have gender distinctions? Although there are different postures, in reality, both men and women can dance, right?"
Mobius was utterly speechless.
What should she say? It seems no matter what she says, Lin doesn't understand what she means. Why isn't he just saying "uh-huh" or "okay" like before? Is it really that hard to understand that he's treating her specially?
"Any examples? For instance, things that I'm only allowed to do for you?" Lin was quite patient; he always maintained an attitude of not speaking rashly about things he wasn't familiar with.
After hearing this, Mobius first looked at Lin in surprise, then rested his chin on his hand and thought for a long time before suddenly remembering something.
Previously, she and Lin had wanted to conduct an experiment on hormone research, but ultimately shelved it due to her shame. However, she did not say that the experiment would never be carried out again.
"Do you remember that thing I wanted to experiment with before... that... kissing..." Mobius didn't know why her voice dropped at the end, even though she wouldn't object to CPR...
She's a mature woman several years older than Lin, so why does she look like a high school girl now?! She stammered, unable to speak!
Mobius was conflicted and filled with self-reproach.
"An experiment about kissing?" Lin suddenly remembered and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"Things like this, which involve experiments, cannot be done with others, that's all."
"... I can't understand it."
"If you can't understand it, you can't understand it. That's just how it is."
Mobius finally managed to get her point across, and she let out a long breath, trying to revert to her usual arrogant, sarcastic, and cynical Doctor Mobius.
But Lin's next words left her completely stunned for a second.
"So you mean you want me to kiss you, and not someone else?"
Don't suddenly become clever in this kind of situation.
Doctor Mobius will never admit that his subsequent actions were of his own volition, even at the end of his life.
She nodded subconsciously.
"Huh? Where are Senior Sister Klein and Doctor Mobius?" Danzhu, wearing sunglasses and holding a glass of wine, walked up to Cangxuan, who was playing a game, and looked around, but did not see the two green-haired figures.
"Senior Sister Klein must have gone back to work overtime; she didn't want to come in the first place." Cangxuan raised an eyebrow and put away his game console. "As for Doctor Mobius ... I saw her on the dance floor just now."
"... Really?"
"I don't know either, maybe I'm seeing things?"
"Haha, don't be silly. Doctor Mobius's physical condition is so poor that he gets out of breath after walking just a few steps, and he's practically in a wheelchair. How could he possibly dance?" Danzhu waved dismissively and took a sip of her drink.
"Danzhu, Doctor."
"Puff--"
Danzhu spat out a mouthful of red wine, attracting strange looks from those around her. She frantically looked around to see where the terrifying figure was, and only after looking around did she realize that she had been tricked by Cangxuan.
"Cangxuan! You lied to me again!"
"...It's because you always get caught when you talk badly about the Doctor." Cangxuan pointed to the door to the side. "I need to go back to the lab to get my cartridges. Come with me."
Danzhu looked at her self-righteous older sister and was speechless for a moment. "Can't you go by yourself?"
"Everyone's at the dance party right now, it's so quiet outside it's like nobody's there. It's too scary to go out alone, it's like walking into a horror movie set."
"Okay... okay..."
Danzhu could only shake her head and sigh as she walked out with her sister. Although Cangxuan seemed much more mature than her, Danzhu knew Cangxuan's character all too well. He was a lively character, much like herself, and greedy for money. More importantly... Cangxuan needed her, his younger sister, to take care of him.
In contrast, Senior Sister Klein is too self-sufficient and seems out of place with the other two.
After leaving the bustling venue, Cangxuan stretched and said, "I only noticed today when Senior Sister Klein reminded me that Doctor Mobius has been getting angry much less lately. She seems to be much more amiable, and even Danzhu hasn't made her angry."
"Don't make it sound like I'm deliberately trying to upset the Doctor..." Danzhu protested briefly, then nodded in agreement. "The Doctor's temper has indeed improved a lot, but I think it's more like she's distracted. Before, she was very focused on everything she did, which is why she would get angry at us for making mistakes. Now... she seems to have something on her mind."
"..."
"..."
"Are you in love?" they exclaimed in unison.
They looked at each other and burst out laughing at the same time.
"Hahaha, impossible. Doctor seems like the kind of person who would spend his whole life with Honkai Beast, Honkai zombie, and the lab." Cangxuan chuckled as he denied his absurd statement.
"That's right, the Doctor is strict with everyone equally, and she's a homebody who never leaves the house. You can't tell from her white coat, but she probably has a bit of a chubby leg and doesn't care about her figure at all," Danzhu chimed in, and she was even more outspoken. "I don't know the Doctor's exact age, but she should be around thirty. She's definitely prepared to be single for life."
"Yes, her..."
Cangxuan's laughter suddenly stopped as if he had been choked.
Her pupils dilated, as if she were seeing something terrifying.
"Hmm, what's wrong? Cang..."
Danzhu stopped abruptly when he looked in the direction Cangxuan was looking.
Cangxuan is right. At this moment, the headquarters looks like a horror movie set.
The most terrifying person who had been haunting their hearts turned his face away from Lin's face, which was about to touch, and looked at them expressionlessly.
Their lips were less than two centimeters apart, about to touch.
The next second, Mobius took a step and walked over.
My hand hurts so badly, I need to ask for a day off.

Chapter 115 About the Wooden Head
"It's so noisy..."
Su Cuo, who was noisily holding a wine glass, was forced by the crowded people to follow the person in front of him step by step through the venue.
Even though I've said it many times before, the true appearance of the Fire Moth that appears before me is still an unimaginable behemoth. The venue that headquarters arranged for the soldiers to play in is already comparable to a regular concert venue.
Having served as Spasi's assistant for six months, he had come to understand the internal structure and operation of the Firemoth, but the difference between the branch and the headquarters would only become apparent after experiencing it firsthand.
"But surprisingly... there are just too many people."
Even though the interior space was so large that one might think they had mastered quantum folding technology, the number of new recruits, plus branch staff like Su who were transferred to headquarters, filled the entire venue to capacity.
How am I supposed to find Kevin...? I wonder how much he's changed over the years.
In fact, when Su first joined the Firemoth, he didn't know that Kevin had also joined the Firemoth long ago. It wasn't until after the Seventh Honkai Eruption outbreak, when two people were willing to undergo the Hypervariable Surgery and Kevin was the one who succeeded, that Su realized that Kevin hadn't died in the Third Honkai War, but had joined the Firemoth.
This is also why, after much internal struggle, he applied to Spasi to come to headquarters for a period of time.
But after arriving at headquarters, he was contacted by May, who was also at the Kevin, and she told him to come here to find Kevin.
"Hello, Dr. Su."
At that moment, a cold, synthesized female voice rang out behind him. The soothing music in the entire venue paused at her voice. Su was startled and turned around to see a gray-haired girl.
"I am Prometheus Unit 1. Please follow me."
Prometheus... Sue remembered that it was Prometheus Unit 3 who saved him back then. Is there any connection between them?
Despite his confusion, Su followed along, and just then, he brushed past someone.
"..."
Lin stopped and stood still, her gaze sweeping from the front to the side, glancing at Prometheus passing by and the person behind her who seemed vaguely familiar.
After being interrupted by two idiots who couldn't keep their mouths shut, Mobius couldn't bring herself to say she would continue, and Lin, seeing that she didn't seem to have any intention of carrying out the so-called experiment, put his helmet back on.
Actually, he wasn't really willing either. The main reason was that Mobius had just mentioned sticking out the tongue when kissing, but he might accidentally bite his tongue and lips if he wasn't careful. For safety reasons, he shouldn't do such a dangerous experiment anytime soon.
"Phew..." After reprimanding Danzhu and Cangxuan, Mobius returned. He wanted to say something, but after holding back a lot of things, he couldn't say anything and could only change the subject, "What are you going to do tonight?"
"..."
Mobius then realized that his words seemed somewhat ambiguous, but since the guy had lost his sense of touch, he probably wouldn't think in that direction.
But she immediately corrected herself, asking, "What else do you need to do next?"
Lin said calmly, "Go back to the ball and listen to Eden sing."
"...ah?"
Mobius glanced in surprise through the cold viewing window outside Lin's helmet.
"Why?" she blurted out.
"..." This was the third time today that Lin found Mobius's words difficult to understand. He pondered for a while, then spread his hands and said, "You and Eden both invited me to the ball today."
"Um."
"..."
"Then what?"
"And then what?"
Mobius stared at Lin's helmet for several seconds. At that moment, she suddenly wished that Lin would turn on the system that could display emoticons on the screen, so that she could at least tell whether this bastard was sincere or not.
"Because both Eden and I invited you, so you came to the ball because of both of our invitations?" Mobius calmly analyzed. "And after you came to see me, you're going to see Eden?"
"Yes, because you invited me first."
Is there any logic to first-come, first-served?
Mobius immediately understood Lin's logic, but she wished she could be a little dumber, as dumb as her brain had been burned by the heat from her face, so she wouldn't have to know Lin's pathetic linear way of thinking.
"I... you..."
Mobius stared at the seemingly harmless Lin, holding her breath, unsure whether she should get angry or not.
From Lin's perspective, there really wasn't a problem.
In the end, all she could do was clutch her violently heaving chest and coldly utter a single sentence:
"Get to the lab tomorrow."
Then Lin returned to the ballroom and saw what had just happened.
Sume...
Lin's memory is exceptional, and the deep impression Su left on him is still vivid in his mind today.
Prometheus led him away; was this an instruction from Me?
However, Lin didn't intend to dwell on this matter. He just wanted to wait for Eden's concert to begin, so he decided to find a place to wait for a while.
Lin's gaze shifted, looking for a place to settle down, but as he swept his eyes over a certain spot, his gaze landed on the back of a hooded figure.
It's not about being familiar with them, but about knowing them.
