That voice... it sounds so familiar. I'm sure I've heard it somewhere before, but... I just can't quite place it.

However, Ling Xi couldn't recall the voice, but the tone and content were extremely familiar, because who else but her own Doctor would call her a guinea pig in that tone?

"Doctor?"

Immediately, Ling Xi stood up, turned around to look at the person who had just called her, and then...

"Pfft... Mobius?"

Ling Xi then saw a girl who looked to be no more than fourteen years old, and this girl...

She still had green hair and green eyes, and...

This is Mobius, the character I played in the game back in the day!

Sure enough, my guess last time was correct. Mobius... it really is Mobius.

"Hehe, darling, don't you recognize me?"

Seeing Ling Xi's surprised but not shocked expression, Mobius smiled, gently pinched her cheek, and said with a laugh, "I am Mobius, the real Mobius, and... your only Mobius!"

"Doctor, what... what happened to you?"

Although Ling Xi had basically guessed the answer, after all, she had experienced the same situation as the Doctor before, and... because she had played the game, Ling Xi was not unfamiliar with this form of Mobius!

"Hehe, guess who it is, the guinea pig."

Mobius still stared at Ling Xi with a smile, and said in a low voice, "After all... you should have seen me like this before, right? Although... hehe, not in our world."

"Uh, Doctor, I didn't..."

Ling Xi paused for a moment, seemingly about to launch into a triple denial...

"Don't deny it, you little guinea pig!"

Mobius preemptively struck, laughing, "Do you remember the day after we met, the day... the first time you came to my lab?"

"I remember? What's wrong?"

Ling Xi suddenly became curious. Why did the Doctor ask this question so suddenly?

"Hmph, since you remember, then..."

Mobius slowly leaned closer to Ling Xi, chuckling softly, "You should still remember what you said, right? In your memory, I've grown up quite a bit, probably looking like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, hehe... Little guinea pig, I thought you'd seen my old photos, but now..."

Mobius gently hugged Ling Xi, then stuck out his tongue and licked Ling Xi's ear, grinning mischievously, "You obviously knew all along that I would become like this, or... you saw what I look like now in another parallel world, right?"

Ling Xi: "..." The hole I dug back then, I didn't expect the Doctor to still remember it...

"I'm sorry, Doctor, I..."

Now that things have come to this, Ling Xi has no choice but to apologize and confess, since Ling Xi doesn't think she's smart enough to fool the Doctor.

"Shh..."

As a result, the target simply blocked her lips with her finger and smiled slightly, "How many times have I told you, between us... no apologies allowed. Just answer me directly, yes or no!"

"Hmm... yes."

Ling Xi nodded gently, then picked up the Doctor and helped her off. It has to be said that it was really convenient to carry the Doctor after she shrunk.

"Hmm, I knew it..."

Mobius nodded thoughtfully. After all, he had been suspecting this matter since the day Ling Xi awoke after fusing with Sasha Gene, and now it was simply a matter of confirmation.

So, whether it's the implantation of the Sasha Gene or how I became who I am today, although they seem like coincidences, they are actually all destiny!

Although I don't believe in fate, I have to admit that even if a butterfly flaps its wings desperately, some things still can't be changed, because I've come this far.

"By the way, Ling Xi, last night... when I died, did you give me something?"

Suddenly, Mobius also thought of this problem, because last night... he had obviously been devoured by Sasha Gene and was already dead, but in the final moments...

I sensed Ling Xi's presence from that beam of light!

"Yes, what I'm giving you is... Soul Fragment!"

In response to Mobius's question, Ling Xi also revealed the matter of the Soul Fragment.

Chapter 311: Doctor, why are you wearing Seele's clothes?

"Soul Fragment?"

Upon hearing the name, Mobius's first thought was... something from a fantasy world?

Is it very precious?

Mobius asked another question; she wanted to know the value of the Soul Fragment.

"Whoosh..."

Ling Xi took a deep breath, then smiled bitterly, "Although it's only right that I used Soul Fragment to save my wife, and I have no regrets, but..."

Finally, Ling Xi gently clenched her fist and said with difficulty, "But... I'm still in so much pain that I can't breathe!"

Mobius: "..." Well, it does seem... to be very precious!

After all, given his relationship with Ling Xi, it would be worth it to save her with something incredibly precious. But Ling Xi's final joke made Mobius realize that this thing was truly something extremely valuable.

"Looks like I owe you my life..."

In the end, Mobius could only smile at Ling Xi. After all, it was impossible for him to pay compensation, never in this lifetime, because he belonged to this guy. Wasn't paying compensation with himself enough?

"Don't say that, Doctor..."

Ling Xi seemed to have recovered as well, and smiled, "Didn't the Doctor save me once too? We... are at most even, neither of us owes the other anything!"

"Hmm... that seems to make sense."

Mobius smiled and then asked, "What are the effects of the Soul Fragment? Could you briefly explain them to me?"

Although this precious item has already been used up, it doesn't stop Mobius from wanting to learn more about it. After all... what if he gets the chance to obtain it in the future?

"Well..."

Ling Xi pondered for a moment and said, "Soul Fragment have three main abilities. The first is to preserve the soul of the deceased, allowing it to exist according to the rise and fall of the Stigmata Gene! The second is that it can be used on Stigmata Gene that possess consciousness, allowing them to gain a soul and materialize it in the real world, which is equivalent to... rebirth!"

"As for the third point, there's not much to say. After consuming Soul Fragment, you can increase the strength of your soul."

"Rebirth..."

Hearing Ling Xi's explanation, Mobius was also surprised, yet felt it made perfect sense. After all, he was already dead at that time; his heart had stopped beating, and his consciousness had almost dissipated. Physiologically, he was completely dead. But...

Soul Fragment can directly restore one's consciousness and life, so... Mobius was surprised, but not unexpected, that Soul Fragment possessed the ability to regenerate!

However, I don't know whether the Soul Fragment are affecting me with the first or the second effect...

After all... Shesha also has the ability to regenerate.

However, upon closer examination, it should be the first effect. After all, my consciousness was almost devoured by Shesha at that time, so it was obviously impossible to trigger Shesha's regeneration ability, because I had not successfully integrated Shesha's genes at that time!

However, Ling Xi gave him Soul Fragment, granting him the ability to be reborn, albeit only once, and even then, only in the form of consciousness. However...

That was enough, because after his rebirth, he directly merged with and devoured Shesha's abilities, and then...

Then, trigger the Shesha rebirth ability that you have already acquired, and finally, you are reborn!

"Well, anyway, thank you, Ling Xi..."

Mobius was still somewhat moved by the preciousness of the Soul Fragment.

Do we need to say thank you to each other?

Ling Xi gently hugged Mobius, habitually patted her hair, and smiled, "As long as I can be with the Doctor, I would give up even a Soul Fragment, or even trade one for one."

"What nonsense are you talking about..."

Mobius gave Ling Xi a sharp rap on the head and snorted irritably, "If you say anything stupid again, get out of here right now and never come looking for me again."

"Uh... I'm sorry, I was wrong, Doctor..."

Ling Xi didn't know why Mobius was suddenly so angry, but she decisively chose to apologize. In short... the wife is always right.

"Snort..."

Seeing Ling Xi readily apologize, Mobius snorted with satisfaction. As for his earlier statement that there was no need for apologies between the two of them...

Ahem, don't worry about the details!

"Doctor, you..."

Ling Xi observed Mobius, then couldn't help but laugh, "Why don't you change your clothes? After all, the way you look right now..."

At this moment, Mobius was wearing her white lab coat, which she had obviously kept in the lab before, but...

It looks really incongruous to have the Doctor in her teenage form wearing the clothes she wears in her mature form.

"Ugh... Okay!"

Mobius didn't refuse, after all, the clothes were indeed quite incongruous. However, because he didn't want to be separated from Ling Xi after waking up, he let the guy sleep on his lap until he woke up.

"Doctor, it seems there aren't any clothes that suit you at home, perhaps..."

Ling Xi rubbed her hands together, her face full of anticipation, and asked, "How about trying Seele's? Don't worry, Seele definitely won't mind!"

"Um?"

Mobius looked at Ling Xi with some confusion. Although she felt that wearing Seele's clothes was no big deal, why did she always feel that this guy had some ill intentions?

However, none of the other people's clothes in the family suited her, so in the end she could only nod and say "okay".

Five minutes later, in Seele's room, with Ling Xi's help, Elysia changed into a blue and white dress, which, it must be said, really suited her!

"Doctor, you're wearing Seele's clothes, really, you look so... cough cough, they fit you so well!"

Ling Xi almost blurted out a famous line, but Ling Xi was certain that if she did, the Doctor would kill her.

"Hmm, it's alright."

Looking at the clothes he was wearing, Mobius nodded in satisfaction, while also giving Ling Xi a reproachful glare, "You rascal, you bought so many clothes for Seele, but you didn't even buy some for me."

"No way, Doctor!"

Seeing that the Doctor seemed a little jealous, Ling Xi was both amused and exasperated, saying, "Although I admit that I did buy more for Seele, that's because Seele and I go out more often, unlike you, Doctor, who stays in the lab all day..."

"Snort..."

Mobius merely hummed softly in response, not wanting to refute, but...

"Oh, right, Ling Xi..."

Mobius suddenly turned around and snuggled into Ling Xi's arms, whispering with a chuckle, "You... you should remember the side effects of the Sasha Gene, right?"

"Side effects, uh... Doctor, you mean?"

Ling Xi instantly understood, after all, when he experienced side effects, it was thanks to the strong support of his three wives!

"Ling Xi, I..."

Mobius smiled and stared at Ling Xi, whispering, "It seems like she's experiencing side effects too..."

Chapter 312: One wife, two forms, wouldn't that be a huge profit?

"Little mouse, I think..."

Mobius smiled and stared at Ling Xi, then hugged Ling Xi's head and whispered with a chuckle, "Shesha side effects have appeared too..."

"Um... Doctor, but it's still daytime..."

Mobius's hint... no, it was clearly an explicit statement! How could Ling Xi not understand? But...

Ling Xi panicked a little because...

It's daytime now, and... the Doctor isn't just wearing Seele's clothes, he's in Seele's room! What if...?

"What? Is that not allowed?"

Mobius gently embraced Ling Xi and whispered in a seductive voice, "Don't you... want to experience what it feels like to be like this right now?"

Ling Xi "..."

In response, Ling Xi simply observed her Doctor silently, although...

The Doctor is still the Doctor, still the same Mobius, but... the change in appearance is quite drastic. Ling Xi now understands what Elysia meant when she said that he felt both strong and familiar, yet strangely unfamiliar. However...

One wife, two forms – isn't that equivalent to having two wives? What a steal!
