Letters Back and Forth

I didn't tell him.

Lin had indeed noticed something, such as Elysia's smile, Sakura's question at the ball, and Kosma's hesitant manner when he met him... He recalled them one by one, but was surprised to find that such obvious clues had not allowed him to completely guess the truth.

They all seemed to have agreed to keep this a secret... and specifically to Lin.

The communication ended quickly afterward, confirming that Lin would continue investigating clues about the traitors in Dusk Street.

Lin turned on his communicator, found Elysia and the others' numbers, hesitated for a moment on the dial button, and then put the communicator away.

He took off his helmet, put his mask back on, and became a nameless man, stepping into the snowstorm.

The treatment of Honkai Sickness in the sanatorium was ordered to be put on hold until the investigation was completed... No, even if they were taken into the Moth of Fire, it would be almost impossible for them to receive treatment with the Honkai Sickness Serum. The use of the serum, which requires 10,000 people to save one person, was not up to him alone, nor was it up to the serum's developer Spasi.

That is "human property".

The man clutched his chest; he couldn't feel his heart beating.

Special Feature: Snakes and Cake (Part 1)

Today marks a peaceful day at the Chienyu Academy, or rather, a peaceful month. Lin, who used to be so domineering, has been completely silent for a month now. He seems utterly drained, his eyes glazed over as he goes to and from school. He's so quiet, unlike the mischievous devil who used to make teachers tremble when they came to his classroom.

Some speculate that he hit his head while jumping around.

Some speculate that he suddenly realized his mistake and decided to be a better person.

Some people speculated that he got a girlfriend and was being strictly disciplined...

For a time, the opinions on campus were unpredictable. Some people noticed that Lin looked like she had been indulging in excessive sexual activity. But who would want to be that guy's girlfriend?

The person involved hid in the principal's office after school today.

That's how it is.

Lin, the protagonist of the school gossip, sat on the sofa in a daze, clutching his head. A cup of rich coffee sat in front of him. After a month of "hard work," his head was throbbing as if it were about to split open. He saw double and felt as light as if he were walking on clouds.

That demon...

I'm guaranteed to get caught as soon as I get home. I stay up almost all night with constant [beep], from the moment I walk in the door to the living room, the bathroom, and then the bedroom...

Even if he doesn't go home, Lin might still get caught, and that would be a real nightmare, because being outside means there's a chance of being discovered, which would be incredibly stressful.

Even more bizarrely, even though Lin wasn't caught, he still experienced the same symptoms as if he had been caught the next day. He also had a smell that he couldn't place, which seemed to be the fragrance of the Nun from the sanatorium. But how did he know what the Nun smelled like?

Lin was trembling so badly he almost wanted to squeeze himself into the gap between the sofa and the wall. He had no choice but to seek help from the principal.

The students at the Chienyu Academy guessed correctly; Lin did indeed have a connection with the principal. After Lin's parents passed away, this principal, who was a few years older than him, took care of him until he entered high school. She had already obtained a doctorate in biology while Lin was still in junior high school, and she seamlessly took over as the principal of the Chienyu Academy after he transferred there.

"Sister Mobius, what should I do?"

The pretty, green-haired principal looked away from the work report and lingered on Lin. She looked a few years younger than Lin; anyone would probably think she was a middle school student.

She smiled, a pure smile, without a trace of malice.

"Isn't this great? I was worried you wouldn't be able to find a girlfriend in the future." Mobius's voice sounded equally childish as she looked at Lin with a relieved expression. "It's good to have someone keeping an eye on you."

"... Sister Mobius, did you really hear what I was saying? She's practically draining me dry! This isn't just a matter of disciplining me, it's a matter of whether I'll die young! I don't want to be diagnosed with 'excessive indulgence' and die!"

"Yes, I heard you. Linlin, I think you're overthinking it. You two are still in the honeymoon phase, so you're bound to have plenty of energy to do 'that' kind of thing. It should get better after a while."

"Sister Mobius, how many times have I told you not to use reduplicated words and add 'little' to address me..."

Lin sighed helplessly. Mobius had always been a naturally naive older sister since he met her. She was quite gentle with people, but sometimes she was too naive, to the point of being "dark".

Sometimes he would wonder if it was Mobius's sister pretending to deceive him. In reality, Mobius's sister was a cunning and ambitious woman with a dark sense of humor. However, he quickly dismissed his own thoughts. Who would persist in pretending to deceive him for several years?

"So, Linlin, what do you think? Should we break up?"

"... I think resistance will only further arouse her desire and interest."

The thought of Prometheus doing the most wicked things with the most indifferent expression made Lin's fingers tremble.

"Sister Mobius, please, let me stay at your place. If she can't find me for a while, she'll definitely calm down." Lin clasped his hands together. He was no longer the arrogant and domineering Lin he used to be. People often say that it takes a woman to change a man, and now it seems that this is indeed true.

However, this process was extremely arduous.

Mobius tilted her head, looking at the earnest Lin with a blank expression. She thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... okay, but you have to follow the rules when you get to me~"

"I am extremely grateful!"

Lin thanked him with tears streaming down his face.

After stepping out the door, Lin's expression immediately changed. He suspiciously pressed his ear against the door, listening to the sounds inside.

"Hmm... Linlin is coming over, should we go buy some groceries today?"

Mobius's blank voice reached Lin's ears through the sandalwood door. Lin breathed a sigh of relief and then left.

Ever since Prometheus, he'd been a bit paranoid about women, always feeling that Mobius's eyes held a hint of malice when he agreed to his request. It seemed he was just imagining things.

No, no, how could he doubt his sister Mobius? She was his sister who had lived with him for seven years! How could he use such base thoughts to guess her intentions? How heartbroken she would be if she knew?

After a period of self-criticism, Lin cheerfully packed her things to go to Mobius's house.

"Are you called... Lin?"

The rain poured down, and heavy raindrops pounded on the child's shoulders. The black-haired child, his face covered in rain, turned around expressionlessly and saw a green-haired girl walking towards him with an umbrella.

She was dressed in solemn black, just like the other people who came to the funeral, but the sorrow on her face was much less than that of the others.

"I am Mobius, your parents' student. You can call me sister. From today onwards, you will live with me."

Mobius ruffled the boy's black hair, shielded him from the heavy rain with his umbrella, and gave him a gentle smile.

The boy's pale face regained color. He said nothing, the sorrow in his eyes washed away by the heavy rain.

"What a good boy, but crying is a way for humans to release emotions, and accumulating emotions does no good for the body." Mobius pulled him into his arms, his gentle voice breaking through the sound of rain. "So cry, it's okay, you're not alone now."

First came sobbing, then weeping.

Mobius released the umbrella, hugged the boy, and gently stroked his head and back.

From that day on, Lin had one more family member, a woman named Mobius who was not related to him by blood but whom he regarded as his own sister.

Special Feature: Snake and Cake (Part 2)

Lin flipped over the wall, but his legs went weak and he fell to the ground with a loud thud before he could stand properly. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and he scrambled to hide in the grove outside the school wall.

To avoid Prometheus, he no longer dared to leave the school gate. Prometheus's reconnaissance ability was exceptionally high, and many times even details that Lin hadn't noticed that exposed his location would be discovered by Prometheus, so he had to be cautious.

Fortunately, this time, Prometheus seemed not to be paying attention to this side. He observed in the woods for half an hour before he breathed a sigh of relief and headed towards Mobius's house.

Mobius moved to the villa area after Lin started high school, saying that Lin was now an independent man and could no longer live with her.

Lin didn't really care, but when he thought about how it was better for Mobius to live in a big villa than to be crammed into a small house with him, he realized that she had taken care of him for so long and it was time for him to have some peace and quiet on his own.

Lin didn't want to get too involved in this older sister's life; he would never forget her kindness, but he and Mobius rarely interacted.

If you think about it carefully, Mobius is already at the age where she should get married, but she still doesn't have a partner. From the day Lin met her, she has been very chaste and rarely even has contact with men. He is very worried about whether his clumsy sister can find a reliable person.

Fortunately, she rarely comes into contact with men, otherwise, given her personality, she would be too easily deceived. He has already decided to vet Mobius's future marriage partner, and scumbags must absolutely not be allowed to associate with her.

But speaking of which... even Mobius's appearance is perfect and she hits the sweet spot for certain people, why hasn't anyone pursued Mobius yet?

"..."

It must be because she has a very high level of education, right?

Well, modern society still values the compatibility between one's education level and one's partner. Isn't it said that the first thing to do after getting a job is to cut off the object of one's affections? Perhaps the men who know Mobius think that her education level is too high and that she might look down on them.

After all, he's a genius scientist who has two doctoral degrees before he's even twenty years old...

Furthermore, Mobius's academic level is unprecedented in her field, and her IQ is at least twice that of the average person, so why does she give people the impression of being clumsy and naturally naive?

Well... academics and life should be kept separate. Just because someone has a high IQ doesn't mean they'll use it in their daily life. Maybe they'll use all their brain cells on academic research.

As Lin walked along, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure ahead. He quickly ducked into a nearby phone booth and cautiously peered through the gap to observe the situation.

Prometheus stood expressionless at the street corner, looking around with an expectant gaze...

Lin gritted his teeth. If he hadn't been exhausted from the torture, he might not have been chased around by Prometheus. Moreover, he didn't know where Prometheus got all those firearms, the bombs from last time, and the guns he carried. This guy's background was probably very dangerous.

Why him of all people? He was unpopular before, so why is he suddenly being targeted?

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure it out. He grabbed the newspaper from the phone booth, went outside, chose a secluded spot, covered his face with the newspaper, and quickly crossed the street.

After a month of outwitting Prometheus, he had learned some counter-tracking techniques and had a clearer understanding of Prometheus's investigative logic.

After quickly leaving, Lin hailed a taxi and had the driver drive around the area three times before entering the villa district. He was covered in cold sweat when he got out of the car, but thankfully he had completely shaken off Prometheus.

This goes beyond the realm of a perverted woman; he's being treated like raw material for a juice extraction. Who knows if she'll escalate things further?

Lin remembered Mobius's address and soon arrived at a rather luxurious-looking villa.

Mobius is not short of money. She could live off any one of her academic patents for the rest of her life. When Lin helped her look at houses, he specifically chose the best one. She doesn't know how to spend money and enjoy life, but Lin will help her.

An outdoor swimming pool, garage, card room, basement, wine cellar, entertainment area... it has everything. Mobius could even skateboard at home if he wanted.

However... given Mobius's personality, she probably doesn't use the rooms other than the bedroom, kitchen, and living room much, right? Apart from hiring maids to clean regularly, she lives alone in the huge villa.

With that thought in mind, Lin pressed the doorbell.

Then, the door opened automatically.

"Um?"

Lin leaned closer and saw that he hadn't pressed the doorbell, but a fingerprint scanner, which seemed to open the door directly as long as the fingerprint verification was correct.

This villa originally didn't have this function; it was Mobius who modified it himself.

Lin didn't think much of it; after all, it was Mobius's house, and she couldn't control what Mebius did.

"Little Lin, come in~" Mobius's soft voice came from the intercom at the door. Lin nodded and stepped into the villa.

He had no idea what awaited him next.

"Welcome to my home, Linlin!"

Mobius stood at the door to greet Lin. Her natural smile healed Lin Cong left school. His nose tingled, and he hugged Mobius's petite body.

"Sister Mobius ..." he whispered painfully.

"Hmm? It's alright, it's alright."

A slender hand gently stroked the back of Lin's head, and Mobius comforted him in a soft voice. After a while, Lin cheered up.

Just as he was about to release Mobius, he seemed to hear some very faint "sniffing" sounds.

It sounds like someone is greedily sniffing the air...

After releasing Mobius, Lin saw that her expression and demeanor were no different from before, so he dismissed his suspicions, thinking that he must have misheard.

"Come on, come on! I've prepared a gift for you to celebrate your visit to my home today."

Mobius took Lin's hand and they entered the living room with laughter. As soon as Lin entered, he saw the things placed on the dining table.

A five-tiered chocolate cake that took up half the table was decorated with exquisitely cut fruit, latte art, carvings, and cream. Even from a distance, one could feel the cake's exquisite beauty.

The moment Kelin saw the cake, a bad alarm went off in his mind.

Why did I suddenly feel that I should run away?

Why?

Did the usually absent-minded Mobius suddenly remember to lock the door after entering today? Was there something subtly different about the smile on her face compared to the past? Or was I just overthinking it?

"Ta-da! We're having cake today!"

Mobius gripped Lin's hand tightly, turned around and smiled gently at him.

Chapter Six: Correspondence

After her thoughts were plunged into darkness, Mei regained a "vague clarity." Having had the experience of the first time, she returned here with ease and composure.

"Mei..."
