Chapter 176

Mobius: "... Heh, where did you learn your detective skills from, from some lab rat?"

It turns out this person might not be very bright.

Mobius stated that she was the creator of the Stigmata, representing Infinity Flame-Chasers, and possessed boundless wisdom; she couldn't afford to argue with a fool.

Kiana: "Auntie, if you play Werewolf like that, you'll be the first to lose!"

Theresa: "Huh?"

Isn't that Mobius? The Dean thought he had already uncovered the truth!

Theresa slowly lowered her sunglasses, feeling immense pressure from the stares around her.

Bronya: "Headmaster, if Mobius truly possessed the ability to instantly kill Elysia, he should have used it when he took over Sister Mei's body. Why wait until now?"

Theresa: "Perhaps... she knows she can't face Raiden Mei and Elysia teaming up?"

Himeko Murata: "Theresa, do you really believe what you're saying?"

Raiden Mei: "Headmaster, I'm very grateful for your high regard. I hadn't even considered this possibility myself."

They can easily defeat Elysia, so why would they care about Raiden Mei being on the battlefield?

Pardofelis: "Hehe, Sister Mei, have confidence in yourself! Maybe you'll be amazing someday."

Raiden Mei: "Pardo, thank you for your comfort."

Mobius: "Ugh, a bunch of pathetic little lab rats huddled together for warmth. Playing mystery-solving games with you is just too boring. I'd better go research the Enlarging Pill."

Unable to rebuild the laboratory's Concept Card, Mobius could only obtain some experimental equipment from Vill-V.

Although it was pitifully small compared to her former laboratory, it was still Mobius, and with a few advanced instruments, it was enough to conduct many experiments.

Sue: "Mobius, I don't think that thing exists within the scope of our existing scientific system."

Mobius: "What does it matter? Since it's unknown, we should explore and understand it. That's the basic quality of a scientist."

Su: "... Whatever makes you happy."

It seems Mobius is determined to fight the Enlarging Pill, and there's no way to persuade him otherwise.

Su didn't think that with their biological understanding, they could analyze something like this, and that the direction of their technological development would be completely different.

The possibility of it being discovered by the Occultist Vill-V, is higher.

Mobius: "Hmm, everything is ready, now all that's missing is a cute little white mouse. Who should we ask?"

The snake's eyes scanned the surroundings, finding only familiar faces, making it difficult to make a move.

Until her gaze settled on Pardofelis.

Pardofelis: "Wait! Sister Snake, you can't be talking about me, right? I refuse, I vehemently refuse! Sister Elysia, save me!"

Danger!

Pardofelis felt a huge danger looming over her head and quickly ran behind Elysia.

Elysia: "Pardofelis, the guinea pig Mobius was talking about isn't you."

Pardofelis: "If it wasn't me, then who was it?"

Pardo was certain that Mobius's gaze had been fixed on her just now!

Canned Food: "Meow?!!"

A pitiful cry rang out, Pardofelis turned around to see the fat cat Canned Food can being grabbed by the neck and lifted up by one hand by Mobius.

Great, we've found volunteers for the Enlarging Pill experiment.

Mobius: "I remember this fat cat didn't exist originally, did it? It was a byproduct of Pardo's Memory Body in the Previous Era Elysian Realm, and now it's appeared in the Death Space..."

All these characteristics combined to create a particularly strong curiosity about Canned Food in Mobius at this moment.

An unknown light flickered in her pupils, and her expression became dangerous and audacious. The Canned Food of food she held in her hand fell silent instantly, as if it had encountered its natural enemy.

Mobius: "Enlarging Pill and magical white mice, what's this... a double blessing?"

Pardofelis: "Oh, it's just Canned Food. Thank goodness. You scared me. I thought Sister Snake was going to pin me down on the operating table."

Pardo patted her chest, feeling a wave of relief after the initial shock.

Elysia: "..."

Sakura: "Pardo, I remember Canned Food was your partner, right?"

Canned Food: "Meow~"

Pardofelis: "It's alright, it's alright. Although Sister Snake looks scary, her surgeries have always been safe, and there's absolutely no danger to her life."

Moreover, this is Death Space. If it weren't for her fear of pain and the fact that she would wake up with an extra pair of ears on her head, Pardofelis would have been fine lying on the operating table.

After comforting herself with this thought, Pardofelis gave the Canned Food an encouraging look.

Keep going, Canned Food! If you survive the surgery, you'll be the fourteenth Flame-Chasers!

Raiden Mei: "This is the first time I've heard that Mobius's surgery is safe."

Pardofelis: "Heh heh, just some rumors, nothing surprising."

Mobius: "..."

Picking up the [white mouse] in his hand, Mobius glanced at Pardo, then turned his gaze back to the Canned Food.

Canned Food: "Meow!!!"

In the Canned Food's eyes, that one look was its last meal before it was killed.

It was their last meal before they were gone, without even a single bite to eat.

Mobius: "Don't worry about the lab rat. Lab rats as [special] as you are rare. I understand sustainable development very well."

Canned Food: "Meow?"

Mobius: "Let's test the Enlarging Pill first, and we'll play with the rest another time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mobius took out Enlarging Pill from the bottle and stuffed the whole pill into the mouth of the Canned Food.

Then, with a loud bang, the already chubby Canned Food of cat food rapidly expanded, becoming as huge as Vill-V's workshop.

Mobius: "Hahaha, funny, really funny!"

The snake's eyes gleamed, and it took it a lot of effort to control its urge to strap the Canned Food to the operating table.

Su: "This effect..."

Enlightened One Awakener frowned. He had thought the warning would be amplified tenfold at most, but the cat in front of him, nearly as tall as a workshop, was a rare sight even among Honkai Beast.

Chapter 287 How does Fairy Elysia fix the typewriter?

Elysia: "So cute, so big and soft! Pardofelis, can I borrow your Canned Food for a while?"

Elysia hugged the Canned Food's front paws; its fluffy texture made it feel like a giant version of a plush toy.

Pardofelis: "I have no objections, but you'll have to ask Canned Food yourself, Sister Elysia."

Elysia: "Then I'll take that as a yes."

Canned Food: "Meow!"

A sharp cry rang out, Canned Food lowered its head, looking at Elysia, who was wreaking havoc on its paws.

The attention of the other Flame-Chasers was also drawn to this.

Sakura: "Elysia, what are you doing?"

All you could see was a handful of fur in Elysia's hands; it was immediately obvious that this was the reason the Canned Food had yelled earlier.

Elysia: "Of course, we collect the fur that naturally falls out of the Canned Food! This soft, clean fur can be used to make a Canned Food doll!"

Canned Food: "Meow."

The fat cat on her head nodded, agreeing with Elysia's suggestion.

Pardofelis: "It can be used for that too? Then I'll take a pillow! But I'll take a lot of them; they'll definitely sell like hotcakes in a store."

Pardofelis: "But... how long will the effects of this medicine last? If it lasts longer than a day, then I'll only be able to feed him Canned Food cabbage."

Regular cat food is definitely not enough; given the size of the Canned Food now, it probably wouldn't even be enough to fill a tooth gap.

Canned Food: "Meow!!!"

Upon hearing the word "cabbage, "Canned Food instantly flew into a rage, turning around and whipping the foolish Pardo who had come up with the idea with its beard.

Pardofelis: "Canned Food, I was wrong, please stop, don't spank me, I really know I was wrong!"

Canned Food: "Meow!!!"

Ignoring Pardo's pleas for mercy, Canned Food continued its revenge, its soft yet resilient beard lashing at Pardo like a whip.

They used its fur to make pillows, and even made several to sell, all for the silver coins and cat Canned Food.

But when it heard that it had to eat cabbage again, it really couldn't stand it anymore!

[Q&A begins.]

The typewriter in the Elysian Realm Archives is broken. As the administrator, how did the Fairy Elysia repair it?

[A: With superb operating skills and comprehensive repair knowledge, he repaired it.]

[B: Get Vill-V to come and help with the repairs.]

[C: Have Raiden Mei use Electric Shock Repair.]

[D: Purely physical repair method.]

Kiana: "A typewriter? The one that can print out Flame-Chasers's memories, information about the Previous Era Elysian Realm, etc."

The Himeko frowned, suddenly realizing the key point.

Kiana: "Since that typewriter can do this, why not just use it to recreate Elysia's death?"

Raven: "Is there even a question? Of course, we should destroy the typewriter while committing the crime!"

Since the murderer dared to attack Elysia, she must have made thorough preparations.

Expecting a typewriter to find the truth is simply impossible.

Theresa: "The more you talk about it, the more it sounds like an inside job. Erasing all traces of the incident at the same time Elysia died—that must have been a long-planned scheme!"

Kiana: "Auntie, stop talking, or the Flame-Chasers will start fighting again."

It was already a powder keg, and right now, the Flame-Chasers are probably all harboring their own secrets and plans.

Theresa, you dare throw matches in there? Don't you think things are serious enough already?

Durandal: "Ahem! If that typewriter can recreate what happened, then why not just fix it?"

Su: "The Memory Body must have considered this method, but the murderer obviously wouldn't leave such a flaw."

It is estimated that the typewriter was completely destroyed at the same time Elysia died, and even the data terminal inside was destroyed.

Bronya: "Is there a spare? Isn't Fairy Elysia the archivist of Elysian Realm Archives? She should have a spare typewriter, right?"

Elysia: "Unfortunately, I don't think so."

One is enough, why bother getting two?

Furthermore, typewriters require regular repair and maintenance, and she only managed to get one Fairy Elysia, to be in charge of it in the archives.

If we get another one, that little guy who thinks he's unique will definitely get jealous.

Bronya: "Bronya thinks Fairy Elysia is completely unreliable. Can she really fix a typewriter?"

Kiana: "I think it's more likely she broke the typewriter."

Elysia: "Perhaps... it's possible? After all, she's in charge of the Elysian Realm Archives, so she must have a wealth of experience."

Raiden Mei: "So how do you think she'll deal with it?"

Mei doesn't think it's the so-called electric shock repair method. While the Herrscher Authority are very useful, if they were extended, they might interfere with the Elysian Realm's data.

Unfortunately, that Mei clearly focused all her energy on developing her powers, specifically combat skills.

Elysia: "Since it's a fairy as reliable and adorable as me, of course I'll use my superb skills to repair it perfectly! Choose A."

[Incorrect answer.]
