Wash Your Hands in the Lab / Brotherhood in the Bathroom

Mobius controlled her rapid breathing, not wanting Lin to notice anything amiss. She called for her mode of transportation, her legs feeling a little weak as she stood up. She glared fiercely at Lin, her expression so menacing that she wanted to tear a piece of flesh from him.

Why is this guy suddenly being so proactive...? He almost... he almost succeeded...

Her body was so limp it felt like it was melting; if Mobius had been even half a second later, she probably wouldn't have had the strength to kick him.

For a moment, neither of them could move, staring at each other in the dark room.

Mobius sat on her mode of transportation and walked slowly forward. She covered her head like an ostrich, afraid that others would notice something. When she turned around, she saw Lin Yi limping slowly behind her, and she was immediately furious.

That bastard! He used to be so well-behaved, treating everyone like it was his life to say an extra word. But today he's acting like a pro, groping her all over.

Touching him is one thing, but he went too far and went straight for it... That kick was too lenient on him.

However, after seeing that Lin was having some difficulty walking, she bit her lip again, thinking that his injury probably hadn't fully healed, and then used her mobility scooter to get closer to him.

"Come sit up here," she said coldly to Lin, then shifted her position so that another person could sit there.

The mobility devices made by Vill-V can support the weight of two people, and can even lift a car at 300 miles per hour.

Lin looked at Mobius's sullen face with hesitation. Would he be kicked off again after sitting down?

"Hurry up, do you want me to carry you up?"

After another statement that was hard to tell if it was a threat, Lin sat down next to Mobius and casually put his hand on Mobius's slender waist.

"..." Mobius's body trembled, he gritted his teeth and didn't say anything, silently letting the vehicle carry them on.

Who knows...

Who knew this guy would actually come up to me!

Along the way, everyone stared at the two passing by with extremely eerie eyes, as if they were seeing a dancing little figure after eating mushrooms. The helmeted man had his arm around the green-haired doctor's waist, with half of his body leaning on her, while the green-haired doctor clenched her fists and kept her head down the whole time, looking like she was about to explode at any moment, which was really terrifying.

Fortunately, the journey wasn't long, and Mobius finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the helipad.

"You better behave yourself on this transport plane." She pursed her lips and warned Lin, who seemed calm and collected, in the fiercest tone she could think of.

Perhaps the warning had worked, or perhaps Lin had already recouped his losses. On the way to the Deepest Place, he simply played light music on his helmet and leaned against the window, looking down at the clouds.

When Lin stood up straight and walked out after disembarking from the transport plane, Mobius realized that Lin could walk properly.

"Griseo, look who's come to see you?"

Mobius smiled and waved to the blank-faced little girl. She belatedly looked up, thought for a moment, and then said softly, "Grandma Mobius..."

"..."

Mobius's face, which looked almost as youthful as everyone except Griseo's, turned cold. "Was Elysia here?"

"Yes, Elysia came by."

"... Remember this, if she comes again next time, call her Pink Fatty."

Seeing that Griseo in good condition, Mobius was somewhat relieved, and the resentment in his heart dissipated considerably.

On the other side, it was also a long-awaited reunion.

"Long time no see... Lin... Welcome back..."

The Nun's veil resembled wings unfurled behind her head in the darkness, and her pure sapphire blue eyes remained unchanged throughout the long time, gazing tenderly and delicately at Lin's helmet.

Of all the people, only Aponia showed no surprise or astonishment upon seeing Lin again.

"Would you like to come in... and sit for a while?"

Lin shook his head and said softly, "It's time for you to go out for a walk."

"If I were to come out, you wouldn't have bothered to see me," Aponia said with a smile, her tone unhurried. "Even I sometimes wish that someone would come here just for me."

"Aren't Elysia and Eden coming?"

"Yes, we often enjoy the wines Eden brings together. You should have a taste of the wine from last time too..."

"Aren't there already people coming? My presence won't make a difference..."

"Because it is 'I want' that is being said, not 'you want'."

Lin suddenly didn't know what to say next. He had always been somewhat afraid of Aponia, including her every gentle and tender look and her meaningful words. Every time the conversation was halfway through, he had a feeling that continuing would not be good.

Although Aponia would probably be willing to let Lin put his hands inside her clothes to warm them, Lin... didn't dare.

However, Aponia never stopped Lin from leaving, and this time was no exception. She handed the ring and cross that Lin had asked Vill-V to return back to Lin once again.

"Don't give it back to me next time." The Nun smiled quietly in the darkness.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Wash Your Hands in the Lab

Mobius had a question in his mind.

She didn't care about the changes in her figure; she was simply taller before and shorter now. Her current thirteen-year-old appearance was proof of her progress towards her dreams. Although she knew very well that she was born with a beautiful face, didn't Lin feel anything about her changing like this? Or was it that he actually preferred this type of woman?

She was lost in thought about this question on her way back, and it wasn't until she heard Lin click the door shut again when she got to the office that she realized she had arrived at her destination.

In the unlit room, an indescribable smell filled the air. Mobius nervously turned his head, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Lin behind him seemed uncomfortable, as if he hadn't worn a helmet in a long time and was fiddling with his neck a few times...

"Click".

The sound of the helmet buckle being undone was like a thunderclap to Mobius.

He took off his helmet, revealing a head of jet-black hair, and exhaled a deep breath.

The man turned his head to look at his clothes hanging on the wall. His bangs covered his eyes, making it impossible to see the color in them.

He walked up behind the green-haired doctor, reached out and pulled her petite body into his arms. She immediately began to struggle. "Isn't this over yet? Has your brain been taken over by your lower body today?"

"I'm sorry... I don't know how to say it."

Lin Pingwen's voice reached Mobius's ears, and she stopped, her hair and clothes still disheveled.

"..."

The heartbeat of the person behind her was very close to hers, strong and steady.

The two remained in this position. Her face showed resentment and some emotions she couldn't quite explain. She lowered her head and clearly watched a speck of dust fall to the floor in the light leaking through the gap in the curtains.

"I know what that feels like, so I understand..."

Mobius was one of the first people Lin met. She was the epitome of coldness, fanaticism, ruthlessness, and arrogance. She always smiled sarcastically at others and was always recklessly crazy in her experiments.

A long time ago, Mobius said that she and Lin were two opposite types of people, and the fact is that Mobius rarely... or basically never gave Lin a nice look. With other people, Mobius might smile and use her naturally good looks to make a few sarcastic remarks, but with Lin, she would express her annoyance in the most straightforward way.

In nature, animals will become aggressive when their territory is invaded by another dangerous animal. Lin used to think that Mobius felt that he, this completely opposite person, had invaded her territory.

As Lin said, he could understand and respect Mobius, but that was all he could do. Just like a long time ago when he Himiko that he liked women like Mobius, he only liked the type.

Mobius remains, to him, a colleague with differing views who is on a different path.

Until that one time.

When Mobius found him after the failed surgery, Mobius seemed like a completely different person, and for the first time, Lin saw a different side of her.

From that moment on, Lin realized that this doctor, who was a few years older than him and was described by others as cruel and inhumane, was far more complex than he had imagined.

Moreover, Lin was well aware of the feeling of losing someone important.

"So you're going to comfort me in the same way?" Mobius asked coldly.

"Um."

"..."

Idiot...

Mobius wanted to curse him, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

It's hard to say whether this seemingly brainless idiot has changed or not. The man who killed Klein and Bianca and the man he is now seem like two different people.

Mobius sometimes wished he really was as cold-blooded and dense as he appeared, but he wasn't, which only made her more upset.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin sat down on the sofa where she usually slept, holding Mobius. The world was so quiet that it seemed as if only the two of them remained.

Her furtive hands began to stir again. Mobius's delicate face turned cold, and she forced out a voice through clenched teeth. "You're doing it again."

"... You said to behave properly on the transport plane."

Mobius didn't understand the meaning of his words at first, and after tilting his head and thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized it.

No wonder he was so quiet on the transport plane, meaning he didn't do anything inappropriate on the plane, but he was "unruly" outside the transport plane.

She didn't know what to say. She found it both funny and helpless, and in the end, she could only conclude that this guy's way of thinking was typical.

Whatever...

Mobius gave up resisting, slumped lazily in Lin's arms, and let his hand lift up his white coat to reveal his fair and smooth skin.

Two hands slipped inside the backless sweater from the side, gliding over her slender waist.

Her pale, translucent cheeks gradually flushed red, and her delicate body tensed up. She had never done anything like this before, and now she was actually a little nervous.

The hand that had failed before caressed her delicate skin once more, this time easily grasping the vulnerability of the girl's heart and body in its palm.

Mobius covered his mouth with the back of his hand, unable to help but let out some sweet, warm breath. He felt very ashamed and strange, but not really disgusted.

"You... how are you so skilled..." She was much smarter than most people. This lecher's technique was so skillful, as if he had practiced it. She immediately thought of the possible reason. Her snake-like eyes, half reproachful and half angry, looked at Lin, who was stunned, on her flushed face.

"... I can be a little less skilled."

"Why can't you just die?" Mobius said coquettishly, then collapsed weakly again.

There's nothing we can do; since he's in charge, even if we want to settle accounts, we'll have to wait until later.

"Hey... do you really like this body, that's why you're being so proactive?"

"Because it's you."

"..."

She lowered her head, her face flushed crimson.

Lin lowered his head and took Mobius's precious earlobe into his mouth.

"Idiot... don't bite that spot..."

With a flushed, steamed pink on his cheeks, Mobius shook his head laboriously, then raised his artistically white neck and closed his eyes.

"Lin, when a girl closes her eyes, she wants you..."

A playful remark echoed in my mind.

Danzhu and Cangxuan looked worriedly at the door of Mobius's office. They didn't dare to knock, but they were also worried that something might have happened inside. They had heard a very loud crash earlier, and when Mobius and Lin came out, they looked like they were about to fall apart. They guessed that they had been in a fight.

After Klein left, Mobius became emotionally unstable, fearing that the two would once again come to blows over a disagreement.

This time, no other sounds came out, but it was eerily quiet for more than an hour, and they didn't dare to breathe.

"Click".

Finally, the door opened.

Wearing a helmet, Lin calmly walked out of the room. He was not limping like before, and no parts of his body were missing. Seeing this, they felt relieved, as it seemed that nothing had happened.

But then they watched in bewilderment as Lin walked to the sink in the lab, patiently washed his hands, nodded to them, and left the lab.

"... Why does Lin want to wash his hands?" Cangxuan asked, puzzled.

Danzhu frowned and pinched his chin, saying, "And he washed every part of his hands very carefully, even more thoroughly than we did before the experiment, especially the fingers of his right hand..."

"It must have been the professor warning him to wash his hands in the lab."

"Oh, I see!"

Chapter Twenty-Three: Brotherhood in the Toilet

The wind was whistling as a person walked into the restroom unhurriedly, glanced at the five stalls, and chose the middle one before pushing open the door and sitting down.

He spoke calmly, "Kosma, are you alright?"

"... Let's not even talk about how you knew I was here." The person in the second stall also spoke up, "I don't think anyone would ask someone in the toilet... unless you're asking me if I'm constipated."

"You can also tell me if you are constipated."

"No, I didn't mean for you to ask me if I have constipation, but rather to stop talking about this, Lin."
