Upon arriving on the second floor, Elysia easily found Mobius's room and opened the door.

"Elysia? What are you doing here?"

Seeing Elysia, Mobius was clearly annoyed, since this girl was always causing trouble around him, either messing with his Klein or flirting with his Ling Xi.

"It's nothing, I just came to ask you about the evacuation."

Elysia smiled and whispered, "Besides, you went too far. You kept something so important from me. What if I really..."

Elysia silently closed the door and then said, "If I really die in Changkong City, you'll lose my best friend. What will you do then?"

"What should I do? Hehe, of course I'll celebrate with drums and gongs for a month!"

Mobius smiled and said, "Besides, even if I don't tell you, you can still find out, right? After all, that idiot Ling Xi was easily fooled by you."

"What do you mean by cheating? We were having a fair trade, by the way..."

Elysia slowly approached Mobius and smiled, "Do you want to know what deal Ling Xi and I made?"

"So what if you agree to any condition he demands? What's the big deal?"

Mobius pursed his lips and said nonchalantly, "What a pity. If this were my condition, I would definitely make you very happy."

"Eh... is that so..."

Hearing Mobius's answer, Elysia's smile widened. It seemed that Ling Xi really didn't have the guts to tell Mobius what happened last night. She had been worried that Ling Xi would tell Mobius, and then all her efforts would be in vain.

But now it seems like this move is going very well.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Mobius rushed to Elysia's side, hugged Elysia tightly, and gently inhaled Elysia scent...

"Huh?"

Elysia seemed startled and deliberately said, "Mobius, although we are best friends, but... there's no future for us. Besides... my heart already belongs to Ling Xi."

"Snort."

Of course, Mobius didn't care about Elysia's crazy ramblings, but directly questioned, "Why do you smell like Ling Xi?"

"Um... well..."

Elysia laughed and said, "Because Ling Xi rested on my bed for a while last night, I naturally smelled Ling Xi when I woke up this morning!"

"Hmph, stop with your act, Elysia."

Mobius pursed his lips, completely unfazed, and scoffed, "You probably intercepted Ling Xi when you arrived, didn't you?"

"Wow, as expected of Dr. Mobius, he guessed it right away, he's really smart."

Elysia smiled and hugged Mobius, gently rubbing her nose against Mobius face, and said with a smile, "Hmm... the scent of Ling Xi seems even stronger on you. It seems you two were together again last night."

"What's it to you?"

Having been seen through by Elysia, Mobius made no attempt to hide anything or feel shy. Instead, he smiled proudly and said, "Ling Xi is my person and my assistant in the lab. What happens between Ling Xi and me is none of your business, is it?"

"Hey, Mobius, you're abusing your power."

Elysia deliberately snorted, "Now, I strongly suspect that you weren't after Ling Xi's power at all, but rather after her body from the very beginning."

"Oh, you noticed that?"

At this moment, Mobius no longer cared about Elysia's opinion and laughed, "That's right, so what? And I can tell you clearly that we are going to get our marriage certificate this Saturday, and after we settle down in the Mu Continent, we will get married as soon as possible. At that time... don't worry, I will definitely invite you to... the guest seats."

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Elysia seemed a little bewildered. Your speed... isn't it a bit too fast?

Elysia was usually a very calm person. Even when she encountered something shocking, she would only be shocked in her heart and her expression would remain calm. But this time, Elysia was truly shocked.

"Whoosh..."

After taking a deep breath, Elysia looked at Mobius with great curiosity and laughed, "Mobius, tell me the truth, have you been possessed by someone? Because I feel that you are acting very strange right now!"

Mobius "..."

"What's strange about it?"

Mobius also looked at Elysia with curiosity.

"Hmm... For example, your previous life was almost entirely spent in research and contemplation, but..."

Elysia laughed and said, "Look at you now, you're just bored out of your mind. This is something I've never seen before. And you were only interested in research, when did you start being interested in the opposite sex?"

At this point, Elysia spread her hands and said helplessly, "I really don't understand what charm Ling Xi has that makes our genius Dr. Mobius even put down his research."

"Hmph, before you ask that question, haven't you already explained why you always try to seduce my Ling Xi?"

Mobius looked at Elysia with annoyance. "Also, since you can't figure it out, then stay away from Ling Xi. Don't think I won't get angry."

"Hmph, I don't want to."

Elysia chuckled mischievously, "As for why I approached Ling Xi, it's because I'm Ling Xi about the impact Ling Xi has had on you, of course! After all, how could I not be curious about the famous Dr. Mobius, who's always thinking about research and has never considered settling down, putting aside his scientific research to get married? So..."

Elysia pounced on Mobius on the bed, locked Mobius wrists, and said with a wicked smile, "I'm going to study this guy Ling Xi carefully and see what it is about him that attracted our genius Dr. Mobius."

Elysia was genuinely curious about this question, extremely curious, because she had always thought that Mobius would definitely live a lonely life or live a life of intimacy with Klein.

After all, Mobius has never really been interested in women. Even if he occasionally shows interest, it's definitely just because he's lusting after their bodies, um...

Of course, the body here is clearly the body she used for research and slicing.

As a result, in just one month, Mobius not only found someone he liked, but also got married, and is now actually getting married.

Honestly, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it, and even now... I seriously suspect that Mobius been possessed.

Chapter 120: Miss Fairy was just playing around!

Pressed down on the bed by Elysia and hearing Elysia highly aggressive declaration, Mobius felt somewhat helpless.

Because he really didn't know what to do with this girl's persistent pestering. After all, he definitely couldn't beat her in a fight, and as for flirting, that was even more of a challenge.

After all, the tricks he used on Ling Xi were basically stolen from Elysia. At first, he learned some of Elysia's rhetoric in order to deceive... cough cough, recruit a few newbies... recruit a few assistants.

In the end, it seemed to have been of little use, since everyone was still very wary of themselves, but...

Ling Xi was different. From the beginning, Ling Xi never felt any disgust towards him. Although he did deceive her at first, Ling Xi didn't say anything after she found out the truth.

Later, he only used a few tricks Elysia Ling Xi win Ling Xi's heart without much effort. After going to the Mu Continent, he easily devoured Ling Xi completely.

So, Ling Xi not only had to protect herself during the day, but also had to take care of herself at night. This was a huge win for her.

Of course, her good looks might also play a part, since even when she's busy with research, she still makes sure to dress up when necessary.

So, if Ling Xi can't even withstand his own tricks, then what will happen to Ling Xi if a queen-level Elysia makes a move?

Therefore, I thought I should get married to Ling Xi as soon as possible and then announce it officially. That way, even if you, Elysia, have a thick skin, you won't be able to do anything else, right?

"Hmph, Elysia, don't forget that Ling Xi is mine."

Mobius flipped over and pinned Elysia to the bed, laughing, "So, no matter how you investigate or test me, even if you do something, it won't change anything."

"Hehe, don't worry, Mobius, I was just teasing him..."

Elysia suddenly flipped over again, pinning Mobius beneath her once more, and laughed, "Mobius, you know me. Although I'm quite lively in my speech and actions, cute on the outside, and kind at heart..."

Mobius: "..." Then I obviously don't understand you...

"But..."

Elysia smiled slightly and said, "I'm just joking most of the time, and I won't really do anything outrageous. So, you don't need to worry about your Ling Xi. It's perfect... I can even test him for you. If he can't even resist this little temptation, then it's too boring."

Mobius: "..." I don't believe you for a second?

Clearly, Mobius didn't quite believe Elysia's words, and she was worried that Elysia was just joking, but in the end, she would ruin herself...

And so, the two of them just stared at each other...

"Alright, let's leave it at that."

After a moment, Mobius decided to stop Ling Xi from speaking, since there was really nothing to say between him and Elysia.

"Ugh, this is so boring."

At this point, Elysia had no choice but to release Mobius and sit down on the edge of the bed, saying, "Mobius, how did you know about Changkong City? Ling Xi said you calculated it using a special method, but he didn't mention any calculations at all."

"Well... that's a secret."

Mobius wore a mysterious smile, partly because he saw Elysia's helpless expression and partly because Ling Xi really only told him this secret.

Although Elysia now knows about the Honkai, it's entirely because this girl is too smart, forcing Ling Xi to tell her. However... even so, Ling Xi doesn't tell Elysia the truth that he was the one who told him in the first place.

Therefore, the only person Ling Xi trusts is herself.

"Mmm..."

Seeing that Mobius was unwilling to say a word, Elysia could only purse her lips, but she didn't press the matter further, because she knew very well that even if she asked, Mobius would definitely not tell her.

"So, how are your evacuation plans coming along?"

After a brief inquiry, Elysia continued, "Although I don't know the reason, it's obviously unlikely that you can evacuate thousands of people while keeping this a secret. After all, you yourself said that you can only predict the next six months. So, unless you can take the people you need away for more than six months, it will be a waste of time."

"Indeed, I do not deny this."

Mobius did not deny Elysia's words, saying, "So I have changed my initial plan. At first, I did intend to take a team of nearly two thousand people with me, but after thinking about it, I found that it was not realistic, so I can only focus on the rescue."

"Ah, what a pity, such a Changkong City like Changkong..."

Upon hearing Mobius's reply, Elysia knew that she couldn't change anything. Although she still felt that revealing the matter in advance could save more people, how could Mobius and Ling Xi not understand such a simple truth?

But they didn't do that, so things are obviously not that simple. It's highly likely that the losses caused by making it public would be greater than the losses caused by keeping it a secret.

Although this conclusion may seem far-fetched, the truth may indeed be just like this.

[Mission Completed: Reward: Kiana's Imprint *1]

Meanwhile, in the classroom, Ling Xi also received a notification that the task was completed.

"Why is the reward only coming now?"

Upon receiving the task notification, Ling Xi asked Sirin thoughtfully, "Under normal circumstances, shouldn't the task have been completed the night before last? Why is the reward only being issued now?"

"Hmph, because you didn't ask."

Sirin shrugged and snorted, "I mercifully told you without you even asking, and you still have complaints? Besides, you clearly forgot."

Ling Xi: "..." Seriously, shouldn't the system be responsible for issuing rewards upon completing tasks? Why is my system different?

"You haven't forgotten, have you?"

Ling Xi asked softly...

"Uh... cough cough, how could that be?"

Sirin shook her head decisively and snorted, "Anyway, the reward is right here, I'm giving it to you now, do you want it or not?"

"If you give it to me, I'll definitely take it."

Ling Xi certainly couldn't refuse the reward. The Kiana's Imprint is one of the true gods in the Elysian Realm. Although it's a support-oriented imprint, it's extremely powerful. Whether it's evasion vulnerability or double evasion, it's very practical.

Since I'm in class right now and have nothing better to do, I might as well just draw an engraving.

With that in mind, Ling Xi didn't hesitate and decisively chose to extract the imprint...

Chapter 121: Are you going to take Seele away?

Obtained the imprint [Kiana: A Riot of Flowers, Plum Blossom]

[Dazzling Hundred Flowers, Plum Blossom: After a perfect dodge, movement speed and attack speed are increased by a certain amount! (Currently increased by 50%)]

[Perfect Evasion: Avoiding an attack within 0.5 seconds of being attacked is called perfect evasion!]

Ling Xi "..."

Mei? Although I know that's the name on the seal, but... wouldn't that cause a misunderstanding?

As for the results...

Hmm, it seems to be the most useless of Kiana basic imprints. After all, in Honkai Impact 3rd, there is no need for attack speed at all. The only thing that needs attack speed is the Bronya Heavy Cannon from the ancient version several years ago.

As for movement speed, that's even less necessary. Which support character doesn't have some way to gather monsters these days?
