Klein's Major Crisis... / A Late-Night Chat with Elysia.

Ling Xi immediately reached out and took Seele's little hand, ready to set off...

"Why..."

Just then, a sigh came from behind them!

"Elysia? What are you doing here?"

Ling Xi didn't even need to turn around to guess that it was Elysia, after all, that voice and that scent were too familiar.

"Nothing,"

Elysia shook her head with a bitter smile, then looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle and said softly, "Just thinking about someone sneaking out to play with Seele behind my back... makes my Ling Xi ache..."

Elysia said excitedly, "Have you forgotten what you did to me this afternoon? You drank my... milk tea, but now, how could you do this... Waaah, you're so cruel!"

"Alright, you guys go ahead, don't worry about me. I'll just go back to my room and cry for ten minutes."

With that, Elysia ran back upstairs crying...

Ling Xi: "???"

Holy crap, Miss Fairy, what are you up to now? What the hell...

"Um, Seele, don't listen to her... talking nonsense..."

Ling Xi immediately turned to look at Seele, intending to explain, but Seele's eyes had already become very harsh. Knowing Seele's personality, Ling Xi was already prepared to be angry with Seele, after all... she was used to it.

Seele remained silent, then smiled at Ling Xi and said, "Weren't you going for a walk? Let's go."

"Huh?"

Seeing that Seele didn't seem angry at all, Ling Xi felt a little uncomfortable and asked curiously, "Seele... you... aren't you angry?"

"Hmph, do you think I'm that petty?"

When Ling Xi question, Seele pouted and huffed, "Besides, do you think I'm stupid for believing everything Elysia says?"

"Uh... hehe"

Ling Xi couldn't really explain it, so she could only chuckle awkwardly. After all, what Elysia had just said... well, it seemed to be true.

"Let's go, you idiot."

Seele gave a soft hum and then pulled Ling Xi out for a walk. "This afternoon, I went for a stroll around the area with Sister Ying. There are so many fun places to visit. Let's go check them out."

"Okay... then Seele, lead the way."

Seeing that Seele didn't seem angry at Elysia's words, Ling Xi breathed a sigh of relief and started taking a walk with Seele.

"Mmm..."

At that moment, looking out the second-floor window at the two of them holding hands and leaving together, Elysia smiled. "They're clearly on such good terms. It seems your mission should be quite simple, Mobius... Hehe!"

Chapter 179: Klein's Great Crisis...

"Achoo..."

In the laboratory, Mobius sneezed.

"Does the Doctor have a cold?"

Klein looked over curiously, while also appearing somewhat worried.

"How is that possible?"

Mobius smiled and shook his head. A cold? He'd never contracted that virus before, but...

I sneezed for no reason just now, which was indeed a bit strange.

"Doctor ..."

Klein seemed to have something to say.

"Klein, you've been with me for so long, don't you understand me yet?"

Seeing Klein's hesitant expression, Mobius immediately guessed that the girl definitely had something to say, and... it certainly wasn't something ordinary, otherwise she wouldn't be so hesitant.

"Well... Doctor, I'll get straight to the point."

Having received Mobius's assurance, Klein asked directly, "Doctor and Ling Xi have been together... for almost a month now, right? Well... to be precise, it should be back on the Mu Continent, isn't it?"

"Forehead..."

Even though Mobius had seen many ups and downs, she was still a little embarrassed when her assistant suddenly asked her this question. However, she did not deny it, but simply nodded and smiled, "As expected, Klein, you do know. Although I never thought I could hide it from you."

"Because you, Doctor and Ling Xi, have revealed too many details."

Klein shrugged, smiling somewhat helplessly, "From the time the Doctor frequently gave himself medical checkups, to the Doctor and Ling Xi being intimate in the lab, and..."

Klein a low voice, "The day before yesterday... I smelled a familiar scent in the Doctor's lab, hmm... and it smelled exactly the same as when I took a sample from Ling Xi."

Mobius "..."

"Well, Klein, that has nothing to do with me. It was that... pervert who was thinking about it in broad daylight, cough cough. Anyway, I didn't do anything at the time. That guy was just entertaining himself!"

Mobius explained nervously, "This... I thought Klein didn't know, but..."

Protruding, can I knock you? Can you hear me?

In short, Mobius was somewhat devastated, he...

"Doctor, actually I forgot to tell you, in the lab..."

Klein scratched his head, looking slightly embarrassed, and said, "There are surveillance cameras. They were just installed two days ago this morning, so..."

Mobius: "???"

"Where did the surveillance cameras come from?"

Mobius's gaze towards Klein was filled with murderous intent. If Klein was merely speculating, then he could deny the truth and shift all the blame onto Ling Xi, but...

Is this a live video?

"Forehead..."

Sensing Mobius's murderous aura, Klein trembled, but still cautiously said, "Doctor, you told me to install it, didn't you? Didn't you tell me that the Doctor Herrscher Core was very important and that I should install private surveillance in the lab sometime? That's why I installed it."

"That day..."

Mobius also remembered; it seemed there was such a thing, but...

"I just told you about installing surveillance cameras the night before, and you've already got them set up by the next morning?"

Mobius looked at Klein with some hesitation. What he said was true, but... he hadn't expected Klein to finish it the very next day. He had only let Ling Xi have her way because he thought Klein wasn't done yet, and now...

"Where's the surveillance video?"

Mobius now only wants to know the status of the surveillance video, and... whether it has been leaked?

"Don't worry, Doctor, the surveillance system runs independently and isn't connected to the network, so only we have viewing privileges, uh..."

After hesitating for a moment, Klein cautiously said, "Danzhu Cangxuan also have the authority, but they probably haven't seen it."

Mobius "..."

At this moment, Mobius was pondering a question: how to make three people disappear from this world without leaving a trace, in a way that is both physical and virtual!

"Doctor ..."

At this moment, Klein spoke again, somewhat awkwardly asking, "Is that kind of thing... very comfortable?"

Mobius: "..." You're really outspoken, aren't you?

"Cough cough, no, how could that be? I just... got that guy to cooperate with my experiment."

How could Mobius possibly bring herself to say such a thing? Although in her view, these were all primal instincts in human genes, insignificant things that could be completely controlled by willpower, but... when it happened to her.

Mobius felt that his research on biological genes might not be deep enough.

"Yeah..."

Klein nodded thoughtfully, though he still felt something was off.

"Ahem, Klein, when did you become interested in this question?"

To prevent the girl from letting her imagination run wild, Mobius began to change the subject, trying to steer the conversation toward Klein.

"Eh, because..."

Klein scratched his head and said, "Because, at those times, even the usually serious and earnest Doctor would show an expression of utter enjoyment. It was a genuine smile from the bottom of his heart. I've never seen the Doctor show that expression before, so... I was wondering, just how comfortable must it be for the Doctor to fall for it!"

"Pfft... I already told you, I didn't succumb, I was..."

Mobius seemed to want to explain further, forcing out, "I did it for an experiment, you know? You know, that guy's genes can't be replicated or artificially cultivated, so I could only use this most direct method to get it done, so..."

Finally, Mobius declared righteously, "Klein, as a scientist, what does sacrificing this body matter when I fight for my goals?"

"Yes, yes, I have never doubted the Doctor's ideals!"

Klein nodded seriously. After all, when Mobius was most misunderstood, she was the only one who stood by Mobius's side, so she knew her Doctor's beliefs all too well.

"Yes, that's good to know."

Seeing that the topic had finally been brought back on track, Mobius nodded in satisfaction.

Before Mobius could even relax for two seconds, Klein spoke up again, still looking curious, "So, Doctor, are you comfortable or not?"

Mobius "..."

After a brief moment of thought, Mobius revealed a mischievous smile, looking at Klein with a grin. "Klein, do you... really want to know?"

"Um... actually, it's okay if you don't know..."

Seeing the look in his Doctor's eyes, Klein immediately became wary.

"Hehe, actually... this kind of thing, hehe..."

Mobius smiled and helped Klein to a chair, then asked with a grin, "Klein, as my most capable and trusted subordinate, I think... you would certainly be willing to dedicate yourself to our ideals, right...?"

Klein: "???" Danger!

Chapter 180: A Nighttime Talk with Elysia.

"Klein, I have an experimental project that needs your help, so..."

Mobius looked at Klein with a smile. "As my most capable and trusted subordinate, I think... you would be willing to help me complete this experiment, right?"

"Eh..."

Klein suddenly had a bad feeling and tentatively asked, "Excuse me, Doctor... what kind of experiment?"

"Actually, it wasn't a very difficult experiment. It was easy for Klein."

Mobius maintained his smile. "Moreover, not only is there no danger, it will actually be quite comfortable. Klein, weren't you just curious about that question?"

"Um... Doctor, I still have some work to finish, see you later..."

Klein made a run for it. Although he didn't know what his Doctor was planning, he could tell from the Doctor's expression that it wasn't anything good, so... it was best to get out of there first!

"Hmph..."

Watching Klein flee in disarray, Mobius wore a smug smile. This girl, doesn't she know the saying "curiosity killed the cat"? But...

My earlier thought, though mainly intended to tease Klein, upon closer reflection, didn't seem entirely unreasonable. After all, Klein was someone from my lab, and given that girl's personality and habits, she'd probably never get married, and besides...

How could I bear to give away such a good assistant? So...

Having Klein help with his experiments, keeping Klein by his side, and incidentally solving Klein's future problems... hmm...

That's killing three birds with one stone.

Of course, this is just a thought, after all, it doesn't make sense morally, even though I don't care about so-called morality!

Forget it, let's take our time to investigate Ling Xi's matter. Right now, I really want a sample of the new Honkai Beast "Shesha" in Changkong City. It seems... headquarters has already sent troops to hunt it down. After all, how could they let such a dangerous Honkai Beast roam freely in the Far East?

After the Flame-Chasing Moths forces bring the corpse back, I'll also take a short trip to headquarters. After all, it's no exaggeration to say that this rare Honkai Beast is incredibly valuable.

However, because he had previously refused those guys' requests for the Herrscher Core, therefore...

This time, obtaining a sample won't be easy; I'll probably have to pay a price.

It was still the virtual conference room of the Flame-Chasing Moths, where several councilors were making new deployments against the new type of Honkai Beast in Changkong City!
