An Yu changed the subject. "Because I'm also looking forward to it, after all, she's really trying to build a beautiful dream, even though reason tells me it's unrealistic."

He leaned to the side and glanced at Klein again. The girl's mental state was very strange, but he didn't need to worry about Klein. The owner of the First Laboratory was Mobius.

"You should focus on finishing your own work first, then we can talk about this."

Mobius rubbed her forehead; indeed, she had lingered too long before Elysia's dream.

Although being Fusion Warrior sounds terrible, it's worth making some sacrifices for one's ultimate ideal.

"Someone like me, a commoner, can only chat with you, Professor."

An Yu shrugged indifferently.

[In Mobius's memory, An Yu, oh, the guy named Mebius, was fairly compatible with him. They had similar personalities, both somewhat extreme, only An Yu was less talented.]

[The boy mostly just quietly observed her experiments, listened to her outrageous ideals, and desperately studied the knowledge she found incomprehensible.]

He worked hard, but the results seemed lackluster; his talent remained mediocre.

[But Mobius didn't care about such things, and the boy had a very clear understanding of himself: Although an ordinary person like me is useless, what if I could actually help in some situation, even in the slightest way?]

[Mobius didn't mind him going to see her; she rarely kept secrets.]

[And secrets that are kept from outsiders are often just that—secrets—because they are afraid others won't accept them.]

[The boy got along well with me and was never opposed to these unconventional plans.]

[Although this exposed the boy to many things that Qi couldn't normally access, it didn't matter; the boy's talent was too mediocre.]

[Since the two get along so well, let's consider them friends.]

[As for Elysia... it doesn't matter. She seems to have realized the essence of the problem and is trying to maintain her image; she wants to regain control of resource allocation.]

Volume 1: Chapter 146 (145) Elysia: I'll teach you how to woo her?

"I've joined the Poison Cocoon."

Himeko returned to her residence and casually uttered a single sentence.

"Oh."

An Yu's response was equally indifferent; her attention remained focused on the information Mobius had given her.

Aren't you worried I'll expose you?

Himeko's tone became more serious. "Those are Poison Cocoon, the dark side of the Fire Moth, a murderous organization led by Kalpas."

"What are you worried about?" An Yu looked up. "What good would it do you to expose me?"

He then reconsidered everything about Mobius, the cold and evil virgin doctor, who was a very stubborn but soft-hearted person.

After initially learning about the other party's reputation, he planned to secretly communicate under the guise of a cooperative relationship.

After chatting for a while, An Yu realized that there was no need to take that risk at all. As long as she went along with the other person and acted as a confidante, the relationship would be much more reliable than that of a business partner.

"I mean, aren't you worried they'll find you on their way?" Himeko pressed.

"So what if they find out?" An Yu's tone remained calm. "I haven't done anything wrong."

It seems he's only level 3, and he found this in the Mobius Laboratory.

As long as Elysia, Kevin, Aponia, those three people I've confirmed have the ability to act independently, see me.

Lu Kalpas didn't care; Kalpas was easy to understand.

Himeko remained silent, quietly eating her rice. She thought An Yu would at least offer a word of advice.

After finishing her meal, Lin ran out again. Anyway, Himeko has been very busy since she became famous, which An Yu completely understands.

Together...

Do you have any experience interacting with boys?

Himeko sneaked up on Elysia, looked around, then feigned shyness and asked in a low voice.

Elysia:...

I?

Is she the universally acknowledged single woman? And in reality, the resentful older sister who gets slapped in the face by Anna and isn't willing to take responsibility even after her own brother has kissed her?

She hesitated for a long time before replying, "Well... a little bit, I guess."

Elysia sized up Himeko. In her previous dreams, Himeko was indeed single, and it seemed unlikely that this time, things would develop successfully for her as well.

"There's someone I want to pursue, but there really aren't any reliable people around me." Himeko continued to play the role of a lovesick young girl, her eyes blazing with desire.

"Chasing after someone..."

Elysia became interested, but after experiencing so many changes, she wasn't very confident in her experience. "Would it be convenient to ask... what kind of personality does the other person have?"

"Low libido."

Cough cough! Elysia choked on her own saliva, and after a long while, she asked, "A man?"

She blinked hard. So, male sexual frigidity, a trope usually only found in novels, really exists in reality?

"He's a man," Himeko said with certainty, a hint of barely perceptible frustration in her voice. "He's not this cold to others, but his relationship with me has always been lukewarm."

Anyway, Himeko saw that the other person was chatting and laughing with others. Although it seemed like he was faking it, An Yu could play the violin for others and take them racing. He definitely wasn't this indifferent before.

Elysia, a young girl, stroked her chin, saying, "So, they don't like you."

She looked Himeko up and down, from head to toe: her bright hair, her unique orange eyes, her alluring older sister demeanor, her beautiful figure—it shouldn't be like this!

How did you two meet?

"He's kind of like my older brother," Himeko, carefully choosing her words.

Elysia leaned back tactically. "Didn't you grow up alone...?"

The kind of household registration check can only find your own information.

"So where did you get your brother from?" Elysia's eyes narrowed.

"I am indeed an orphan," Himeko explained, her back teeth clenching slightly. "And he... was the one who sponsored my schooling from a young age, so he's like an older brother to me."

When she discovered that the two of them had never been on the same household registration book in the first place, the feeling of being clearly separated from each other made her feel extremely frustrated and depressed.

Oh! Then there's no problem.

Elysia instantly understood. It was perfectly normal for the sponsor and the sponsored to meet, and Himeko's knowledge should naturally be valued by others.

It's normal to have more contact.

Are you sure he's just the older brother based on age?

Elysia couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Himeko remained silent, Elysia, understanding once again, drawled, "I understand~!"

Himeko's voice was subtle. "There is indeed a slight age difference."

But An Yu seemed to have been forgotten by time, her appearance forever frozen at the moment when the other person first picked her up.

It's like an immortal old monster who learns everything incredibly fast. All the problems he struggled with in the gifted youth program, even the questions he argued with the professor about, he could find the answers in the other person.

Jiu: "Are you sure it's just a little bit?"

Fourth, "Should be no more than 20 years old."

"Probably, "Himeko was somewhat unsure.

4 Elysia bit her fingertip. "You're a generation younger than me. No wonder he ignores you. It would be strange if he accepted you. Besides, that guy probably watched you grow up."

"Elysia, weren't you always looking for An Yu? How did you two get along back then...?" Himeko suddenly steered the conversation back on track.

How did you get along?

Elysia is lost in memories.

It was at the Fourth Orphanage that I pulled An Yu, who always read books alone, out to play. Although little An Yu was very withdrawn and always annoyed people, and even at first she wouldn't play with me.

Then the orphanage was disbanded, and seeing An Yu all alone, she grabbed An Yu's hand and ran away, giving up the slim chance of being adopted.

Later, An Yu found out that the government was offering subsidies, so the siblings continued their difficult schooling. Occasionally, they would use their looks to work as NPCs at nearby film shooting locations, picking up bottles and helping others with their homework. That's how they made a living.

By high school, both siblings were capable of working, and part-time jobs weren't tiring at all. Moreover, they received generous scholarships, so their lives gradually became more comfortable.

So how did you get along?

"At first, nobody paid any attention to him, so I just dragged him out to play, and we got to know each other after a while," Elysia summarized simply.

Probably. Anyway, aside from being a bit withdrawn at the beginning, An Yu seemed to become very enthusiastic later on.

"Should we just... pull them off directly?"

Himeko stammered, "This method is really simple and crude, but it's impossible to learn."

Elysia hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Oh yeah, what books did An Yu read at the orphanage again? Oh well, she couldn't read back then anyway.

"I might not be able to beat him..." Himeko hesitated.

She seemed to understand a little, but not much, because Elysia was a goddess, she was strong, she could definitely pull An Yu, how could An Yu have beaten Elysia when she was little?

Elysia covered her face, her voice tinged with a bittersweet regret. "I didn't fight either, but I was defiant at the time, and after a few attempts, An Yu seemed... resigned."

"But after we went out to play together, no one paid attention to him anymore. After all, An Yu used to be too withdrawn. He wouldn't respond when others called him, and over time, no one wanted to play with him anymore."

"Then what?"

Himeko is going to write it down in the Ninth Memorandum. Getting a few beatings is just... just... just filling in the gaps in her childhood where she never got beaten up!

Elysia continued to cover her face, "I'm not reconciled! I took several beatings to get this kid here, I can't just let him go like this!"

When she was little, she believed that communication between people could solve all problems, but other people just wouldn't play with An Yu. Where could she find the reason for this? At the time, Elysia suspected that An Yu had also beaten up other children.

"They won't play with An Yu, but I will! I believe everyone will understand us sooner or later."

Himeko said thoughtfully, "And then, he became cheerful."

Elysia's voice sounded even more helpless, "Then, we were both isolated, isolated for more than two years, almost three years."

"Later I found out that some kids were upset that I played with An Yu and didn't play with them, so they went to beat An Yu up that night, but they couldn't beat her and ended up making An Yu cry."

The next day, the crying children came to me, hoping I would take their side, saying they had been beaten but wouldn't let me see their wounds.

"I was really indignant at the time. Why wouldn't they accept An Yu back if it was a problem that could be solved through communication? And then... well, you know what happened, we were both isolated."

These were details that Elysia only learned later when the siblings were reconciling their accounts.

As for An Zhongzhuan¥↓group"▲:4≥8∵°|beat them in an understatement, exactly how hard it was, Alicia didn't know, and she didn't see it on her face anyway...

It was probably on the buttocks, which might explain why those children didn't let me see their injuries.

Elysia sighed deeply, "Laugh if you want. In An Yu's eyes, I'm the kind of person who got beaten up twice, abandoned my friends, and stubbornly stood on his side... a complete traitor."

Himeko wanted to join in with a smile, but she simply couldn't manage one.

Volume 1: Chapter 147, Section 146: Elysia: To pacify external enemies, one must first secure internal stability.

In a residential area of the city, sunlight streams through the windows, filling the cozy living room.

"Thank you for your Mebius."

Blanca spoke gently, with a hint of gratitude.

An Yu smiled brightly, "It's alright, little Griseo very talented. Maybe when she becomes a famous artist in the future, I can benefit from her success."

Blanca felt a pang of shame and quickly went to prepare a fruit platter.

After learning that Griseo loved painting, and since she didn't know any outstanding teachers, the Doctor recommended someone... She was stunned; the Doctor actually knew someone!

Then the boy arrived, and Blanca was completely stunned.

You didn't specify who it was. In a place like Divine Land where social connections are so important, people can get in by relying on their art skills. Where would she get the money to pay the other party a salary?

But An Yu didn't want money; in his words, "Consider it my ticket to visit the First Laboratory."

"No need to prepare, Senior Blanca." An Yu made a rather exaggerated expression. "I'm almost sick of eating fruit these past few days, and Little Four Griseo, has reached the point where she frowns at the sight of fruit."

"Moreover, Griseo is indeed very talented, and I'm not lying about that."

However, An Yu often couldn't appreciate this kind of impression, or more accurately, a special kind of post-Impressionist painting like "The Starry Night," like Van Gogh's.

This kind of genre is really strange. You seem to be able to read all sorts of things into it, yet you also seem to be unable to. An Yu's personality doesn't really like this kind of thing, just like... Elysia, weird and eccentric.
