Informing the Doctor About the Third Eruption! / The Doctor's Truly Terrifyingly Good at Breastfeeding!
Mobius pursed her lips. From beginning to end, aside from feeling a little shaken when she saw the light screen, she had not felt much of anything. The only feeling she had was...
A vague, almost imperceptible sense of connection with Ling Xi. It was simply a strange feeling that could not be put into words.
"Well... I told you, the contract was just for show."
Ling Xi looked at Mobius helplessly and smiled.
"All right, looks like that really is the case..."
Mobius spread her little hands and stopped dwelling on the matter. However...
"Ling Xi, do you think... we should go get a marriage certificate?"
Mobius looked at Ling Xi with a smile, wanting to know whether he was truly willing to marry her right away.
"Sure!"
Ling Xi had no intention of refusing Mobius's suggestion and immediately smiled. "If Doctor wants to, we can go get one right now."
"Forget it, I was just saying..."
Seeing Ling Xi agree so readily, Mobius shook her head instead and smiled. "I already said that our relationship should not be made public for now, because it would bring us some trouble. If we went to get a certificate, wouldn't that expose everything?"
"Yeah, I suppose so."
Ling Xi thought it over and felt that made sense. Since they had decided to keep it hidden, they naturally could not overlook the details.
Still, it was a little regrettable that he could not marry Doctor right away.
"Hehe, you don't need to rush."
Mobius glanced at Ling Xi and smiled indulgently. "I'm not going to go back on marrying you, so it makes no difference whether we get the certificate sooner or later. Besides... documents and things like that are only for official recognition. But for us, whether the authorities recognize it or not, the result is the same, isn't it?"
"True... haha!"
Ling Xi nodded silently, then could not help laughing. Indeed, official recognition... In a few years, when Honkai began descending everywhere, who would care about such things?
"So, Ling Xi..."
Mobius suddenly embraced Ling Xi, then gave him a light push. With practiced ease, she pushed him down into the chair, knelt on one knee between his legs, leaned forward, and pressed both hands to either side of him. Smiling wickedly, she said, "We can totally get on the train before buying the ticket. After all... we're human, so we have the right to pursue our instincts!"
"Uh... Doctor, that's not what I meant..."
Ling Xi hurriedly shook his head, afraid Mobius would misunderstand and think he was only with her because he craved her body. Though he really did crave it...
"Then what... did you mean?"
Regardless of whether Ling Xi craved her or not, Mobius certainly craved him. After all, she had said it herself—human instinct. Besides... she was dedicating herself to experimentation and science. Mm... she was so great!
As she spoke, Mobius's lips slowly drew closer. Ling Xi struggled for one second, then decisively gave up struggling. It could not be helped—Doctor was simply too strong. He could not break free at all. It was absolutely not because he did not want to resist!
As for the fact that this was a laboratory, that was no problem either. When Mobius was working, basically no one dared disturb her except Ling Xi and Klein, so...
In the end, their lips slowly drew closer, until...
"Beep..."
"Doctor, the materials you requested have been organized."
The automatic door suddenly opened, and Klein walked in, preparing to hand Mobius the documents she would need today. Then she saw...
Klein: ... Did I come at a bad time?
Informing Doctor About the Third Great Honkai!
"Ah..."
At three in the afternoon, Klein was still revising documents in the hall. She did not know what was wrong with her documents again, but Doctor had told her to revise them...
Normally, Doctor would tell her to stop revising in less than five minutes. But today...
It had already been an hour.
"Ah..."
Helplessly, Klein could only sigh again. This is too hard...
"So... this is an Insignia?"
In Laboratory Three, Mobius listened to Ling Xi's explanation about Insignias and wore a thoughtful expression.
But Mobius seemed a little disappointed, because she felt this Insignia was really not very useful, aside from... being somewhat mysterious.
"Mm, that's more or less it."
Ling Xi nodded silently. He had basically told her everything about Insignias. Since the future Mobius would be able to possess an Insignia anyway, there was no harm in telling her now.
Of course, Ling Xi still chose to keep Sirin's matter secret. Even though he fully trusted Mobius, not telling someone certain things was not necessarily because he did not trust them, but because it was unsafe.
Ling Xi knew very well that if he told Mobius about this, then with her personality, she would definitely want to study its principles. She might even write down some notes or something, and then someone with ulterior motives might notice.
So, he should keep Sirin's secret to himself.
"Ah, this feels a little boring."
Mobius spread her hands, feeling as though she had lost out. She had entered into a contract with Ling Xi in order to understand the contract, only to discover in the end that it was not very useful. Although Ling Xi had said there were other types of Insignias, who the hell knew how to obtain them?
Therefore, although Mobius would not regret making the contract, she still felt like she had gotten the short end of the stick.
"By the way, Ling Xi, what do you think about Honkai?"
Having finished discussing Insignias, Mobius began talking to Ling Xi about Honkai, especially after the time she had triggered a Honkai event using Ling Xi's cells. Mobius now fully believed that Ling Xi's power could cause Honkai, and even...
She suspected that the Honkai event in H City two months ago had also been caused by Ling Xi, though she had no clues or evidence.
Besides, based on her understanding of Ling Xi, he definitely was not that kind of person. If anything, he was rather righteous.
"My thoughts..."
At the mention of Honkai, Ling Xi hesitated. It was the matter he had considered last night...
The matter of the Honkai event in Changkong City.
Ling Xi took a deep breath and said, "Doctor, there's something important I want to tell you."
Before getting to the serious matter, Ling Xi silently walked to the door and locked the laboratory's automatic door, so no one could casually enter.
"Why are you locking the door?"
Seeing Ling Xi actually lock the door, Mobius wore a strange expression. This guy... was he really trying to do something?
"Ahem."
Ling Xi coughed dryly, then said seriously, "Doctor, you might not believe what I'm about to say, but I can guarantee that everything I'm about to say..."
"No, I believe you."
Before Ling Xi could finish, Mobius nodded to show that she was willing to believe him. Smiling, she said, "I believe you wouldn't joke about something important. Besides... I'm a scientist. I've seen plenty of absurd things, so no matter how absurd what you say next is, I'll believe it."
"Then... all right."
Seeing Mobius believe him just like that, even though he had not said anything yet, Ling Xi was...
"Thank you, Doctor!"
In the end, Ling Xi could only thank Mobius, then said solemnly, "Doctor, you should know about Great Honkai events, right?"
"Great Honkai?"
Mobius's expression instantly turned serious. "The Great Honkai you mean is the kind that gives birth to Herrschers?"
"Mm, that's right!"
Ling Xi nodded slightly. "And a Herrscher's destructive power is far beyond human imagination. Powerful Herrschers can destroy an entire city, or even a continent. So a Herrscher's strength is absolutely not something humanity can currently contend with."
"Is that so..."
Mobius frowned. Clearly, she was not particularly willing to believe Ling Xi's claim. After all, the first two Great Honkai events had also produced Herrschers, yet they had both quickly been killed by humanity. In her view, the First Herrscher might not even have been as strong as Ling Xi.
However, because she had just said she would believe Ling Xi, even though she had doubts about his words, she did not voice any rebuttal.
"Doctor, you just need to believe that Herrschers are very powerful. Besides, that isn't the main point of what I want to say today."
Seeing Mobius's gaze, Ling Xi naturally knew she was doubtful, but he could not be bothered to explain. He simply said, "What I want to say is that, if nothing unexpected happens, the third Honkai event will probably occur within half a year. And the Herrscher born alongside the Third Great Honkai... will be the Third Herrscher, the Herrscher of Thunder, capable of manipulating electromagnetic force!"
"Hm? The third Honkai event... are you sure this is real?"
Hearing this, Mobius could no longer remain calm. The third Honkai event, the Herrscher of Thunder—why did Ling Xi know such things?
Looking across the entire world, there were quite a few scientists seriously researching Honkai, but no one had ever been able to understand its true nature. So let alone calculating when the next Honkai event would occur, whether another Great Honkai would happen at all was still a matter of academic debate.
Yet Ling Xi had directly told her that a Great Honkai would occur within half a year, and he even knew exactly what Herrscher would be born from it.
So it was not that Mobius did not want to believe him. This information was simply too outrageous!
"What benefit would I gain from lying to you, Doctor? Besides..."
Ling Xi smiled slightly. "Only the two of us know what I said today, and I only intend to tell Doctor you. So what reason would I have to deceive you?"
"This..."
Mobius did not know how to answer. Indeed, Ling Xi could gain nothing from telling such a lie, and it would be exposed in less than half a year. So, if that was the case...
"The third Honkai event really will occur within half a year?"
At this point, Mobius could not help beginning to believe Ling Xi's words, because this matter was too important.
"Yes, it definitely will. And..."
Since he had already decided to tell Mobius about this, Ling Xi naturally did not intend to hold anything back. He said seriously, "I also know which city the third Honkai event will occur in."
"Where?"
Mobius immediately asked the most crucial question.
"The city where the third Honkai event will occur is nowhere else. It is..."
Ling Xi pointed down at the ground, then looked at Mobius and said calmly, "The city beneath our feet—Changkong City!"
Doctor's Luck Was Terrifying!
"Changkong City?"
If she had not heard it, she would not have known. But after hearing it, Mobius was truly startled, because she had already begun to believe Ling Xi was telling the truth. She had even been considering whether to disclose the matter in a different way and have the city's residents evacuate in advance. Then...
Good grief, Ling Xi's next sentence told her that the city where the Honkai would erupt was Changkong City.
"Mm."
Ling Xi nodded silently. "I would never joke about this. The Third Great Honkai will definitely erupt in Changkong City within half a year, though I don't know exactly when. It might be next week, or it might be... half a year from now!"
Of course, there was one thing Ling Xi could be certain of: when the Third Great Honkai erupted, Mei and Mobius would have already met.
The first time those two met should have been at the symposium on Mu Continent.
And now, the symposium on Mu Continent had not yet begun, and Mei had not met Mobius either. Therefore, the Honkai event in Changkong City probably would not erupt in the short term, though this method was not absolutely reliable.
"This really is... major news."
Mobius began to think it over, but the question she was considering was no longer whether she believed Ling Xi. Rather... what she should do.
"Hehe, Ling Xi, is this why you asked us to leave Changkong City last time?"
Mobius suddenly recalled what had happened during the research institute's previous Honkai event. Ling Xi had urged her to take the laboratory and leave Changkong City, but... she had not agreed, because the reason Ling Xi gave at the time was not sufficient, and relocating a laboratory was an extremely troublesome matter.
Thinking about it now, it turned out the clown had been herself?
"Uh... yes."
Ling Xi scratched his head awkwardly. Since Mobius remembered, she could naturally guess that he had not told her about the Honkai event because he had not trusted her back then.
"Hmph, so that's how it was..."
Although Mobius knew it was not Ling Xi's fault, she still could not help huffing. "It seems my decision last night was truly wise. If we hadn't gotten together, I suppose you still wouldn't have told me about this, would you?"
"Uh... yes."
Ling Xi nodded silently and said awkwardly, "I have no way to explain this, and I can only tell Doctor what will happen. So... I naturally didn't dare mention it. Sorry, Doctor, I... deceived you again."
"Hehe, no need to apologize!"
However, faced with Ling Xi's apology, Mobius shook her head slightly and smiled. "Because what you did was completely correct. If it were me, I would have made the same choice. And..."
Mobius gently embraced Ling Xi's head, softly burying his face against her chest as she said tenderly, "Haven't you told me about it now? So that means that, in your heart, I am someone you can trust. That... makes me very happy."
