Ling Xi glanced at Ying silently without saying anything. After all, there were too few clues at the moment, and discussing this was pointless. Protecting Mobius was the most important thing.

"By the way, where's Elysia?"

Suddenly, Ling Xi thought of Elysia again. Shouldn't that girl have rushed over immediately after learning about Mobius's situation?

"Elysia said she had other things to do and would come back after she finished."

Sakura didn't hide anything from Ling Xi, and... she felt that Elysia must have her reasons for doing this!

"Is that so..."

Ling Xi nodded without saying much, because Ling Xi knew that Elysia wasn't the type to act without considering the bigger picture; she clearly had more important things to do right now, although...

Ling Xi really couldn't understand what could be more important Mobius right now.

Thinking of this, Ling Xi glanced at the operating room again. Doctor, you must... be alright!

At the same time, if this is really just an accident, that's fine, but if...

Ling Xi's eyes flashed with barely suppressed rage. If someone really was behind this, then she would definitely destroy anyone... even the suspects!

After all, Ling Xi still remembers her experience on the Mu Continent very clearly!

"Look at the stupid things you've done! Who gave you the right to do this? And if you're going to do something, you should go all the way! Now look what you've done. What will happen when Mobius wakes up?"

"What's there to worry about? It was just an accidental car accident. But she's incredibly lucky to have survived!"

"Fool, who do you think Mobius is? Just watch, once Mobius wakes up, none of us will escape. That woman... is beyond our comprehension!"

"Then let's strike again. Anyway, besides Elysia and a few Fused Warrior, Mobius doesn't have any high-end combat power around him right now. Ling Xi has already lost all her power. Let's just send out an S-class to finish off Mobius!"

"That's not enough, it'll expose us!"

The man shook his head and said, "This time, we have to go even further, otherwise we'll all be doomed when Mobius wakes up. We... have to use that thing."

Chapter 309: The Disappearance of the Serpent!

That evening, Mobius's surgery was completed, and Ling Xi stayed by Mobius side the whole time.

"Hey, Ling Xi, still keeping watch here?"

Late at night, Ling Xi was keeping watch over Mobius when she suddenly heard Elysia's voice behind her...

"Elysia?"

Ling Xi was startled and hurriedly turned around to look. Sure enough, the person who came was his second wife Elysia.

"Elysia, where did you go?"

Upon seeing Elysia, Ling Xi immediately asked where the girl had gone today, as she couldn't reach her by phone or any other means.

"It's nothing, I just went to find some things."

Elysia leaned against him, her eyes slightly closed, looking somewhat tired, and said, "Mobius... has become a thorn in the side of some people again. At least, based on my speculation, there's a 90% chance that what happened today was done by those people."

Ling Xi "..."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xi's blood pressure immediately spiked. She had initially thought that Ying's lack of scientific understanding and reasoning was why she claimed it wasn't an accident, but...

Clearly, it's not that Sakura doesn't understand science and reasoning, but rather that she... simply doesn't understand politicians!

It's like this: you yourself abide by morality and are willing to make sacrifices, but why do you think a dog would also abide by morality?

"Elysia, who are they?"

Ling Xi took a deep breath and asked in a low voice...

"Huff... I don't know..."

Elysia shook her head slightly and said, "The other party did it very discreetly, leaving no evidence. If there are any suspects, then both the United Nations and the Flame-Chasing Moths headquarters are suspects, but..."

Elysia raised her head slightly, smiled at Ling Xi, and said, "We shouldn't act rashly on this matter, because... if I'm not mistaken, our Doctor definitely knows more than we do!"

"Whoosh..."

Ling Xi took another deep breath; clearly, Ling Xi understood what Elysia meant.

"So that's how it is..."

As Sakura's voice rang out, she appeared in the room, expressionless and somewhat cold, and said, "I knew it, this isn't just an accident."

"That's normal, after all, Mobius has offended so many people over the years. A while ago, because of the Herrscher incident, no one dared to act recklessly, but now..."

Elysia shrugged and sighed, "I really don't know what some people are thinking, but..."

At this point, Elysia looked at Ling Xi with utmost seriousness and said, "I think they won't let Mobius live past tonight. They... might have more to do!"

"Ling Xi, what are you planning to do next?"

At this moment, Elysia and Sakura were both looking at Ling Xi. Since Mobius was still in a coma, the two of them naturally regarded Ling Xi as their pillar of support. Elysia could offer suggestions, but the final decision still rested with Ling Xi.

"Wait!"

Ling Xi had no better choice at this point. After all, the enemy was lurking in the shadows. He couldn't possibly wipe out the United Nations and the high-ranking officials of the Flame-Chasing Moths, could he? If he did, the whole world would be thrown into chaos. At that point, let alone resisting the Honkai, humanity could destroy itself.

Therefore, the best option at this time is to wait for Mobius to wake up!

As for the other party's actions...

It seems some people really don't know whether they've gotten too cocky or they think they're no longer capable of wielding a knife!

"A safe choice..."

Although Elysia didn't think it was a particularly good choice, it was undoubtedly the safest option at the moment.

"Yes, I understand."

Sakura nodded silently; she would just listen to Ling Xi.

"Duwu... duwu... duwu..."

Accompanied by a piercing alarm, Mobius was once again wheeled into the operating room!

Just now, Mobius's body suddenly deteriorated, his organs aged rapidly, and the wound that had been stitched up was torn open again, instantly plunging Mobius back into the threat of death!

"Damn it, what happened? Weren't they saying he was out of danger?"

At this moment, Ling Xi was naturally extremely anxious, but he was helpless. Even though he was very strong, strong enough to destroy Herrscher, he was powerless to do anything when the people around him were in danger!

"It's an attack!"

Klein clearly realized something and said with a helpless expression, "A genetic weapon attack. The Doctor's condition just now was obviously caused by some kind of biochemical virus that specifically targets the Doctor's genes. It has no effect on others, but once it enters the Doctor's body, it will have a fatal effect instantly. And this kind of weapon, I'm afraid... only the Doctor can make an antibody!"

Although Klein didn't finish his sentence, but...

Everyone understood what Klein meant: only Mobius could cure this virus!

But now it's Mobius's being attacked!

"Bastard, bastard, bastard, if I find out who it is..."

At this moment, Ling Xi was almost out of his mind, because... because he truly had no way to help, he really couldn't do anything. He could only watch helplessly as his wife's health slowly deteriorated and her bodily functions gradually weakened, even with current technology...

There is absolutely no hope of treatment.

"Where... is this place?"

As Mobius gradually regained consciousness, she found herself in a void and chaotic space where there was nothing, nothing to see or hear, and everything was nothingness.

"What am I doing..."

Meanwhile, fragmented memories gradually surfaced in Mobius's mind: the meeting, Klein, the sound of brakes, and then he knew nothing more...

Suddenly, Mobius realized his consciousness was fading, and at the same time, a snake was devouring him, devouring his world. It coiled around him, making it hard for him to breathe...

Will I... die?

A question popped into Elysia's mind: she wasn't afraid of death, yet she was extremely afraid of it!

She wasn't afraid of death because she wanted to understand its essence, nor was she afraid to sacrifice her life to pursue the food she wanted. At the same time... she was also afraid of death because she couldn't say for sure yet. She still had so many things, so many projects, and so many truths to explore!

Damn it, I'm so... unwilling to accept this!

Mobius struggled incessantly, but to no avail. She felt the snake slowly devouring everything about her.

"I'm sorry, Ling Xi..."

With those final sounds, Mobius's heart stopped beating completely...

Chapter 310: The Rebirth of the Snake!

"I'm sorry, we tried our best..."

Despite numerous attempts by doctors to save Mobius after his heart stopped beating, it was all in vain.

With that, the doctors left one by one, leaving Ling Xi with her own time...

"Boom..."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xi felt as if she had been struck by lightning. The Doctor... was she really dead?

That can't be right, isn't the Doctor Thirteen Flame-Chasers? Weren't they supposed to live until the end of the world? Why would he...?

For a moment, Ling Xi truly couldn't accept this outcome. The person she had met by chance, the person who gave her a job, the person who became her family, and the person she had married and spent every day with, was just like that...

Has it completely left me?

They were having breakfast together this morning, happily chatting about funny things, even joking about whether the Herrscher of Ice could alleviate the possibility of global warming, and now...

She just left me like that?

"No, it's not over yet!"

Although Mobius' departure dealt a huge blow to Ling Xi, things were far from over, as she still had one last option!

Ling Xi picked up Mobius and immediately activated a spatial wormhole...

A few seconds later, Ling Xi appeared in the familiar laboratory, which was... the underground adaptability room in her home!

He placed Mobius on the operating table, then with a flick of his right hand, he extracted the Soul Fragment.

Soul Fragment possess three abilities: preserving souls, reviving hero Stigmata, and enhancing souls after being devoured!

Then, this time, I can use the Soul Fragment to save the Doctor's soul!

"Soul Fragment, activate!"

Looking at the Soul Fragment in her hand, and then at the lifeless Mobius, Ling Xi didn't hesitate at all. She crushed it, sending the energy within spraying directly into Mobius's body...

"Huh? This is..."

In the void, Mobius, whose consciousness had almost dissipated, suddenly sensed a light...

It's warm and... so comfortable!

After struggling to open his eyes, Mobius saw a familiar figure: Ling Xi ...

This power is...

"Hmm... hehe, when it really matters, my husband is the most reliable."

A smile appeared on Mobius's face. "God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light. And now..."

He himself, carrying the light, tamed all the monsters. Isn't that Shesha...? I've seen him before!

Wake up, Mobius!

"Um... how did I... fall asleep?"

After an unknown amount of time, Ling Xi slowly woke up from her dream, feeling... as if she had been sleeping on something soft, hmm... kind of like a thigh, but... it seemed even thinner than Seele's legs...

"Doctor ..."

In an instant, Ling Xi thought of Mobius, and realized that she seemed to...

"You're awake, little mouse?"

At that very moment, a pleasant voice rang in Ling Xi's ears.
