"Sure, but..."

Mei did not refuse, but said, "The technology for Stigmata is not mature yet and may cause serious side effects. Are you sure you want to have it implanted?"

"It's alright, we can just implant another batch when the technology matures in the future. As for the side effects, they're not important!"

The man still wore a smile. After all, what did the lives of a mere five hundred soldiers matter compared to the safety of headquarters? Even if there were side effects in the future, they could simply be replaced with a new batch.

Upon hearing the other party's reply, Mei remained silent for a while before finally nodding and agreeing to the matter...

Chapter 294: Stop rushing me, stop rushing me, we'll be done with Seele soon!

"Doctor, you're back."

In the evening, Mobius returned home, and Ling Xi, as always, came over.

"Um."

Mobius smiled at Ling Xi and said meaningfully, "You must have had a very happy week, right?"

"Ha?"

Ling Xi paused for a moment, then asked with a smile, "What does the Doctor mean?"

"Heh, Elysia and Sakura are taking turns taking care of you, aren't you happy?"

Mobius looked at Ling Xi with a half-smile. After all, the Honkai Energy Adaptability test data from this morning had already fully illustrated the problem, and...

This guy is still full of energy; one can only marvel at how powerful Shesha's genes truly are.

"Eh... well."

Ling Xi was a little unsure how to answer, after all... this week, the two of them hadn't taken turns coming, but rather... worked together.

"Cough cough..."

Finally, Ling Xi coughed lightly and chuckled softly, "If the Doctor is envious, that's fine too."

"Pah, what do I have to envy?"

Mobius immediately retorted irritably, "I wish they would come to see you every day so I could do my experiments in peace. Envious? Are you kidding me? If you don't want to keep me company, then starting today, I'll give them all the opportunities. How about that?"

"Oh? Is that really true?"

Elysia suddenly appeared out of nowhere, looking at Mobius with an expectant expression.

"Doctor, are you telling the truth?"

Sakura also suddenly peeked out, looking at Mobius with some anticipation.

Mobius: "???"

Ling Xi "..."

As Doctor, Dr. Mobius naturally couldn't go back on his word, so...

Mobius simply smiled and stared at Ling Xi. "Ling Xi, what do you think? What I just said... I was serious, you know."

As he spoke, Mobius still looked at Ling Xi with gentle eyes, giving off an attitude that said, "If you dare to nod, I'll kill you."

Ling Xi: "..." Doctor, don't you know the fate of the arrogant? After all, Seele was arrogant back then.

"Then let's forget about it."

Ling Xi gently hugged Mobius and smiled, "How could I bear to part with my dearest wife? Doctor, tonight... please don't leave, okay?"

"Hmph, since you're begging me like this, I'll reluctantly agree."

Seeing that Ling Xi was so sensible, Mobius was quite satisfied, and... he would never say such angry words again, after all... what if Elysia and Sakura heard it again?

Hmm, those two... shameless vixens!

They've been draining Ling Xi's resources at home for a week, and they still want to steal my share tonight? Believe me or not, when we fight the Herrscher in the future, I'll send these two shameless guys to the front lines!

"Oh, what a pity..."

Elysia looked quite regretful.

"Mmm..."

Sakura simply nodded silently without saying a word.

Mobius "..."

"Ling Xi, come back to my room with me."

However, Mobius was too lazy to pay attention to the two of them anymore. He simply pulled Ling Xi upstairs, since he had important things to discuss with Ling Xi.

"Hmm? My room..."

When Mobius returned to his room, he immediately felt that something was... not quite right.

Well, it's just... too tidy. I remember when I left home, my room was tidied up a bit, but it was never this tidy. And Ling Xi... how could this guy possibly tidy up his room?

"Ling Xi, has anyone been in my room?"

Mobius directly asked Ling Xi a question.

"Um, this..."

Ling Xi was momentarily speechless, because... just yesterday, she had come here and was even connecting to the WiFi in the Doctor's room with Elysia and Sakura...

"Well, Sakura cleaned her room a couple of days ago and also cleaned the Doctor's room."

Ling Xi wasn't actually lying, since Sakura did clean up afterward, didn't she? So...

I was definitely not lying!

"Is that so? Then Sakura must have had a tough time."

Mobius didn't doubt anything about it, after all, it did fit Sakura's personality.

"Hmm... it is indeed quite tiring."

Ling Xi also recalled the situation thoughtfully. Ying's legs were trembling and she could barely stand, but she still insisted on cleaning the room. She really worked very hard.

"Mmm..."

Mobius yawned, sat down on his bed, and said with a smile, "Ling Xi, come here."

"Here you are, Doctor."

Ling Xi, of course, wouldn't refuse. She sat down next to Mobius and casually put her arm around him, unable to help but laugh, "Sure enough, the Doctor at home seems more familiar, unlike in the lab where it's all experiments all day long."

"Well, I have to work in the lab, so of course I can't spend much time with you."

Mobius shrugged, then took out the Gemini Stigmata and said with a smile, "Here, take this back."

"Oh?"

Seeing the Gemini Stigmata in Mobius's hand, Ling Xi took them and asked curiously, "Has the Doctor thoroughly researched them? If not, there's no need to rush to return them to me."

"That's about it."

Mobius calmly smiled and said, "The three new sets of Stigmata Gene you sent can effectively fill the gaps in my research in this area, so the Gemini Stigmata are no longer really needed."

"I see..."

Ling Xi didn't say much about it and silently stored the deep marks on her hands into the System Space!

Seeing Ling Xi disappear into thin air again, Mobius didn't ask any more questions. Anyway... don't ask, the answer is the power of the Space Core!

"Ling Xi, I think..."

Mobius smiled slightly and said, "You... should give Seele to... well, you know what I mean."

Ling Xi, "..." Why is the Doctor still bringing this up? It feels like he was being pressured to get married when I went home for Chinese New Year.

"Um... Doctor, now that you're here, along with Elysia and Sakura, we can handle Shesha's side effects, Seele..."

Ling Xi shrugged and smiled, "She's still in school, there's no need to rush, is there?"

"Mmm..."

Mobius thought for a moment and smiled slightly. "You should know that when the Honkai erupts, people around will be exposed to extremely strong Honkai Energy radiation. The Herrscher of Thunder in Changkong City did not actually erupt, which is why Seele was unharmed. However, when the Herrscher of Wind in Oceania erupted, it instantly wiped out 50 million lives."

As he spoke, Mobius calmly asked, "If, by chance, Seele happens to be in the core area after a Honkai, do you think Seele would be instantly reduced to ashes by the high-intensity Honkai?"

Ling Xi "..."

Chapter 295: The Truth Behind the Experiment!

Mobius's question immediately silenced Ling Xi, because...

To be honest, I hadn't considered this issue because I felt it wasn't necessary, mainly because...

He intended to give the Gemini Stigmata to Seele. In this way, Seele's Honkai Energy Adaptability would definitely reach the level of a near- S-rank Valkyrie. With this level of Honkai Energy Adaptability, even Herrscher would not be able to instantly kill her with Honkai Energy!

Secondly, Seele... this girl is very likely the Sixth Herrscher, and as Herrscher, how could she be instantly killed by the energy released during the Honkai eruption of another Herrscher? Unless... she is the Herrscher of Finality.

"Doctor, you don't need to worry about this, after all..."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "I will give the Gemini Stigmata to Seele as soon as possible. At that time Seele will definitely be able to obtain strong Honkai Energy resistance and also have the ability to protect herself."

"Of course I know this method, but..."

Mobius still smiled and said, "I advise you to first truly be with Seele, preferably... a few months after you've been together, before injecting Seele with the Gemini Stigmata gene. This way, you might be able to maximize the use of the Gemini Stigmata's power."

Ling Xi: "???"

"Um... Doctor, can you tell me why?"

Hearing Mobius's words, Ling Xi was also a little confused. Were there such intricacies to injecting the Stigmata Gene? Wait a minute, according to the setting of Honkai Impact 3rd, the Stigmata Gene doesn't seem to have anything to do with whether someone is a girl or not, right?

"I won't tell you..."

Mobius pursed his lips, refusing to tell Ling Xi.

Ling Xi "..."

"Doctor, this isn't very interesting."

Ling Xi promptly hugged Mobius and pleaded, "Please, tell me, okay?"

"Hmph, no good. Since you don't listen to me anyway, why should I tell you?"

Mobius resolutely refused to buy into that.

"Doctor, if you don't tell me soon, I'm going to get angry!"

Ling Xi pinned Mobius to the bed, deliberately making a fierce face. "If I get angry, the consequences will be very serious. The Ling family's rule is to first give him a thousand lashes!"

"Hehe, okay, I'll give you a chance."

Mobius smiled slightly and said, "No matter what method you use, as long as I agree to tell you, it counts."

"Roar..."

Ling Xi's eyes flashed instantly. No matter what method she used... then...

It's a simple matter.

For example, a dog rolling its eyes, making a "V" sign with both hands, and then adding an ahegao (emoji) expression...

Then he shouted, "Come find me in the supermarket! Come find me in the supermarket! Supermarket... cough cough, it's just 100 meters to the left after you leave the supermarket. Plus, they deliver to your door if you spend more than 30 yuan, which is very convenient!"

"So, Doctor, what exactly did you mean by what you said last night?"

The next morning, Ling Xi stayed in bed with Mobius, not wanting her to slip away, since the Doctor hadn't yet given her the answer she most wanted to know.

Besides, the Doctor personally promised to tell me last night, so...

We must ask clearly!

"Haaaaaah..."

Mobius could only yawn at this, looking at Ling Xi with a hint of helplessness. Last night... had he ultimately succumbed to torture? Had he still betrayed his faith in the end?

"Then let's get up first."

Mobius yawned as he got out of bed and said, "Come with me to the research institute today. I'll tell you more when we get to the lab."

"OK."

Ling Xi didn't have any objections to this, since the research institute was so close to home, only a ten-minute drive away.
