So You Really Do Like Them Young! / Come to My Room Again Tonight! ...
However, before Ling Xi could answer, Mobius had already kissed her. Damn it... we agreed not to cause trouble here...
Chapter 117: So you still prefer the smaller ones!
The next day...
"Hmm, I didn't expect you to know this trick..."
In the laboratory, Mobius was lying on Ling Xi's lap, enjoying Ling Xi massage.
"It's not difficult at all, you can learn it easily."
Ling Xi carefully massaged Mobius's neck and shoulders. It seemed that her Doctor had a stiff neck because of her sleeping position last night. So, as the Doctor's assistant and also as Mobius's husband, it was her duty to massage her!
As for massage, it's not really a technical job. It's a job with almost no barriers to entry. You can master it with a little learning. And even if you go to a massage parlor, the price won't be too expensive. You can get it done for tens or hundreds of dollars!
Of course, I'm talking about legitimate massages here. If it's the kind that costs several thousand dollars... well, I suggest you check if there's been any raids going on there after you go in.
Spending time with Mobius, another day of slacking off, since there aren't many experiments to do right now, except... the daily nightly experiments.
After spending about two hours with Mobius, Ling Xi prepared to go to school. Of course, her main purpose was to see Seele; otherwise, why would she go to school?
"Hi, Ling Xi."
As a result, Ling Xi had not gone far from the laboratory when she saw Elysia walking towards her, who greeted Ling Xi with a smile, "What a coincidence, we meet again."
"It is indeed quite a coincidence."
Ling Xi looked at Elysia with a hint of helplessness and laughed, "Elysia's home is in the North District, and her workplace is also in the North District. It's quite a coincidence that we met in the South District."
"Hehe..."
Elysia stuck out her tongue and laughed, "How could that be? I'm in charge of security at the research institute, but I don't have a fixed work location. The research institute doesn't usually encounter any danger, so I can only wander around... cough cough, patrol. That's my duty, after all."
Ling Xi "..."
Ling Xi didn't refute these words. After all, Elysia didn't actually have a permanent position in the First Research Institute; it was just a sinecure. Of course, Ling Xi knew very well that this was only on the surface, and that the real situation was...
Although Mobius didn't tell her everything, he did tell her some things about Elysia, basically...
Equivalent to a member of the "Poisoned Pupae" within the Flame-Chasing Moths, they occasionally undertake mysterious missions; this is Elysia's job at the research institute.
So, when there's something to do, Elysia does it; when there's nothing to do, of course, she does it... So, it's better to let Elysia rest. Therefore, Elysia says it's her duty, and it doesn't seem to make any sense.
"Elysia, I won't chat with you any longer, I have to go to school."
After what happened last night, Ling Xi's wariness of Elysia has increased to a new level. There's no way around it; after all, this fairy lady has too many tricks up her sleeve.
"No, it's rare for us to meet, shouldn't we chat a bit more?"
Elysia quickly grabbed Ling Xi's arm and laughed, "Besides, we're about to leave Changkong City, why bother going back to school?"
Elysia would naturally not openly mention the Honkai, after all, those who know, know; those who don't, can't explain it.
"There's something I need to take care of."
Ling Xi didn't intend to hide anything from Elysia, after all, how could she leave Changkong City with peace of mind if Seele's matter wasn't resolved?
"Ugh... that's really too much."
Hearing this, Elysia sighed sadly and said, "We're both girls, so why are you so concerned about that tsundere Seele, but you turn a deaf ear to my advances?"
Ling Xi: "???"
Ling Xi initially wanted to yell, "Elysia, you actually investigated me?!" But after thinking about it, Ling Xi realized that there was really no need to investigate. After all, she and Seele hadn't been hiding anything, and besides...
Given Elysia's abilities, it's not surprising at all that she was able to investigate this matter.
"That's different."
Ling Xi shook her head and smiled, "Elysia, you are a member of the Flame-Chasing Moths, so you naturally have the ability to protect yourself when you encounter danger. But Seele is just an ordinary girl. If I don't take her with me, she will probably have to stay here forever."
"I'm just an ordinary girl."
Elysia snorted with dissatisfaction, "You're just being biased."
Ling Xi "..."
Ling Xi simply didn't bother to answer. An ordinary girl, the second-ranked ordinary girl among the Thirteen Flame-Chasers... Hmm, I believe her.
"Haha, okay, okay, I'm not blaming you. I was just curious. Seele, she..."
Looking directly at Ling Xi, Elysia smiled slightly and said, "Why do you show me so much favor and care? You've only known each other for a little over a month, haven't you? Besides, in terms of time, it seems that you've known Mobius for much longer, while your contact with Seele..."
At this point, Elysia seemed to understand something, and said with a sudden realization, "No wonder you don't like me, so you like little girls, huh? Wait, you..."
Elysia suddenly looked at Ling Xi with a wary expression and deliberately questioned, "Didn't you bring a little girl named Ling to the lab yesterday? Tell me, do you have some ulterior motive?"
"Puff..."
Ling Xi almost spat out a mouthful of blood. What did he mean by liking the younger one? The reason he truly cared about and liked Seele was simply because she was Seele, and there was no other reason.
Of course, I don't deny that I like Seele, whether it's the White Seele in the game or the Seele I am now.
As for Rin, there are even more reasons. Her older sister is Sakura, and she herself is Corrosion Herrscher. She wants to curry favor with Sakura and also wants Rin to be happier.
That's all.
"Ahem, how can you slander someone out of thin air? Don't I also like Dr. Mobius?"
Faced with Elysia's slander, Ling Xi decisively refuted it and even brought up Dr. Mobius. The current Doctor is not the big loli in the game, but a real mature woman with combat power comparable to or even Dvalinn Rita.
"Hmm... that's true."
Elysia nodded thoughtfully, then smiled and said, "But isn't Mobius a researcher in life sciences? Maybe one day she'll successfully develop a technology to reverse aging. You'll be very happy then, right? After all... Mobius was really cute when she was little."
Ling Xi "..."
Ling Xi let her imagination run wild for a moment. The current Doctor and the Doctor in the game... hmm... both seem pretty good.
"Cough cough!"
Finally, Ling Xi said righteously, "Mobius is Mobius. No matter what he becomes, I will always love my Doctor. That will never change."
Chapter 118: Come to my room again tonight!
"Hehe, is that so..."
Hearing Ling Xi's righteous words, Elysia also somewhat moved and smiled, "I have to say, Mobius's vision has always been so excellent. I knew that those she chose would never be ordinary."
In fact, when Ling Xi was recruited to the laboratory by Mobius, Elysia was already paying attention to Ling Xi, because it turned out that those who were favored by Mobius were not ordinary people, such as Klein's super overtime attitude!
Cangxuan and Danzhu were also genius girls, but after arriving at Mobius's laboratory, they had some ideological conflicts with Mobius. As a result, although they would not refuse Mobius's missions, they were always unable to make further progress.
Cangxuan is alright; he's quite diligent and capable of handling many tasks. But Danzhu, on the other hand, can basically slack off.
So, when he returned from his mission and heard that Mobius had recruited a new assistant, he immediately went to check it out. He remembered that Mobius was quite angry about it back then, after all...
At the time, I genuinely suspected that Ling Xi had been tricked by Mobius into becoming a guinea pig, since Ling Xi's academic qualifications were simply not up to par for entering Mobius's laboratory.
Whether it's Klein or Cangxuan Danzhu, which of these girls isn't a genius girl who graduated with a master's degree ahead of schedule?
As for Ling Xi... she really couldn't think of any plausible reason, until...
Through his own investigation, he learned about the events of the night Ling Xi and Mobius met, the fact that Ling Xi held electricity in her hand, and... the first time the research institute Honkai.
Because I wasn't at the research institute at the time, I didn't immediately eliminate the Honkai Beast. By the time I returned, Ling Xi had already defeated some, so I didn't intervene. Instead, I secretly observed Ling Xi, and that's when I saw...
Lightning Thousand Paths!
Only then did he understand why Mobius cared so much about this guy—because this was truly a completely new kind of power!
So, I finally understand why Mebius La Lingxi came to the lab. Hmm... that's what I thought it was, but...
After a trip to the Mu Continent, the relationship between the two gradually became strange, and only then did she realize that she was wrong again. Mobius was not just looking for a guinea pig, but also... a husband?
In response, one has to admit that Mobius was incredibly quick to act.
"Alright, Elysia, I'll chat with you another time. I have to go now."
Ling Xi glanced at the time and immediately said goodbye. It didn't matter whether she attended class or not, but if she dared to stand Seele up... then she was doomed.
"No, that won't work..."
Elysia still clung to Ling Xi's arm and snorted, "Because you favor Seele so much, I'm very angry now and you're not allowed to go."
Ling Xi "..."
"However, it's not entirely impossible, unless..."
Just as Ling Xi was getting a little angry, Elysia relented and said with a smile, "Come to my house again tonight."
Ling Xi: "???"
"What kind of look is that? Do you think I'm going to eat you?"
Seeing Ling Xi's puzzled and wary look, Elysia pouted, looking somewhat dissatisfied. In this situation, she, a beautiful girl, was asking the boy to go home. What did this mean? Didn't this guy really understand?
Hmm... Although I really didn't mean it that way, being rejected is just too embarrassing.
Ling Xi: "..." No, maybe you really can eat my substitute!
"Don't worry, I won't play any tricks on you. I'm here to talk to you about serious business."
With that, Elysia released Ling Xi's arm and laughed, "I won't keep you any longer now, but don't forget tonight, or I might come to your door in person, hehe, bye-bye!"
After saying that, Elysia slipped away without waiting for Ling Xi's consent.
Ling Xi "..."
"Why..."
In the end, Ling Xi could only sigh helplessly. What a pity. If only... if Seele had a personality like Elysia's.
At least this way, he can now take Seele and evacuate.
However, if Seele weren't her current personality, she wouldn't be Seele.
"Hey Klein, working overtime again?"
After letting Ling Xi go, Elysia went to Mobius's laboratory. Upon seeing Klein in the hall, she promptly pounced on him and gave him a good beating!
"Miss Elysia, please stop, I'm working..."
Klein was helpless as Elysia pinched and rubbed his face, but he didn't dare to resist.
Because if he doesn't resist, he'll be rubbed by Elysia for about ten seconds, but if he does resist, Klein definitely no match for Elysia, and the result is that Elysia will continue to rub Klein more than a minute.
So, after weighing the pros and cons, Klein decided not to resist Elysia anymore, since she didn't mean any harm, although the Doctor would be a little annoyed.
"Hehe, Klein is cutest when he's working."
Elysia gently stroked Klein's face before letting go, and laughed, "But Klein, don't push yourself so hard. After all, your lab probably doesn't have many experiments going on right now, since you're moving out."
"The experiment is indeed over, but..."
Klein flipped through the documents and said, "There are still many things to do regarding the relocation of the laboratory, such as negotiations, personnel arrangements, and the rental of transport aircraft. The Doctor has entrusted me with these tasks, so although the experiments are basically over, there is still a lot of work to do."
"Hey, you're just too honest."
Elysia poked Klein's head, wondering where Mobius found such an excellent assistant. After all, very few people could handle this kind of workload.
It can be said that Klein deserves 30% of the credit for Mobius's current achievements.
Because of Klein's presence, Mobius could conduct various experiments without worrying about data analysis, as Klein would handle it all, saving Mobius a lot of time.
"If you're looking for the Doctor's upstairs."
To prevent Elysia from taking advantage of him directly, Klein sold out Mobius without hesitation, saying, "The Doctor is quite free today, so if you need anything, Miss Elysia, go find the Doctor."
"Hmm... indeed, she seems to have a lot of free time lately."
Speaking of this, Elysia wholeheartedly agreed, then let go of Klein and laughed, "Klein, you can continue with your work. I'm going to find Mobius now, bye-bye."
After saying that, Elysia decisively ran upstairs, even though Mobius might not welcome her.
Chapter 119: There's always a fairy lady on the ground who dares to face Mobius!
"Hey, Mobius, are you there?"
