Chapter 259
Cang Xuan: "Yes, Doctor, Senior Sister Klein is even willing to entrust you with the opportunity of [Infinity]. This is the most perfect gift for you, Doctor."
Mobius: "Hmph."
Klein could have simply destroyed the Previous Era Elysian Realm to end everything, but he chose the method that was most advantageous to Mobius.
The ability to access the outside world and become something akin to the Twelfth Herrscher —this gift, for Mobius's Memory Body, is equivalent to Infinity, undoubtedly a great present.
Mobius remained silent, quietly waiting for the scene to unfold.
[In the scene, Klein controls the equipment as the virus replicas multiply in the Previous Era Elysian Realm, while contemplating how to answer Mobius's question.]
"Perhaps."
Klein sighed, lowered his head, and continued speaking.
"Actually, what the doctor left behind at that time was not just that video footage."
"The Doctor was supposed to go into the hibernation pod with us back then, but when I woke up again, she was gone."
"Besides that video, she only left me with one sentence."
Klein bit his lip, perhaps because of the pain from the erosion, or perhaps because of that even more painful memory.
"I've never understood what she meant. Back then... she said..."
Halfway through his sentence, the corruption Klein suffered intensified once again, and the doll's language module completely collapsed.
That's all we can do.
Klein pondered her own structure; the most effective way to suppress the spread of the Herrscher of Corruption virus was to destroy the carrier. She slowly reached her hand toward the core.
Klein was about to destroy her doll's core when she discovered that she had lost her ability to move in that instant.
Not Herrscher of Corruption.
Klein turned his surprised gaze to Mobius; what had rendered her immobile was the viral clone she had just created.
Only Mobius could manipulate them.
"Aren't you being a little too presumptuous, Klein? I gave you life, but you don't have the right to dispose of it as you please."
Mobius slowly walked towards Klein, placing his virtual hand on her face, from which he could feel no warmth.
"In this way, the only possibility of connecting the Previous Era Elysian Realm to reality is also severed."
Just now, Mobius used his own data to take over the corruption that Klein had suffered and redirected it Previous Era Elysian Realm.
"It's all your fault! Now I'm really going to die! You acted rashly first, Klein."
Mobius rubbed his forehead, but his gaze remained fixed on Klein. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the erosion marks on her neck had faded.
Unable to open a passage to the outside world, even for Mobius, her Infinity could only end here.
"Klein, Klein?"
Mobius called out Klein's name, only to find her eyes tightly shut, like Sleeping Beauty in a castle.
"How ugly! Did they not even have the strength to say goodbye? But this is also a good thing."
Mobius went to Klein's side and admired her sleeping face.
"The snake doesn't want anyone to witness its end. You should have a good sleep; when you wake up again, you'll be free."
Thinking about this, Mobius felt a mix of emotions.
When Klein awakens, she will find that the duty she has fulfilled for Fifty Thousand Years has vanished, but perhaps that is a good thing.
Mobius's hand touched Klein's cheek. "Goodbye, my comprehension."
With his last vestiges of consciousness eroded, the Infinity Flame-Chasers Mobius announced his departure from the stage.
The video ends here.
Elysia: "Oh my! The Mobius of the Infinity has actually chosen to end his own life. How surprising!"
It's not surprising that Flame-Chasers would do something like that; they are sacrificial heroes, the founders of the future, and naturally bear the corresponding will.
But the will to die for others is absolutely not related to the [Infinity] Mobius.
The act of the Mobius Memory Body destroying its own grave is completely contrary to the will of [Infinity], even a completely contradictory and opposite choice.
Chapter 320 Am I Not Good to Klein?
Raiden Mei: "Am I seeing a fake Mobius Memory Body, or has she been influenced by the Herrscher of Corruption?"
It's not that Raiden Mei doesn't trust Mobius; rather, her actions make it very difficult to trust her.
Stealing Raiden Mei's body, betraying the original Mobius, the Mobius Memory Body who always wanted to leave the Previous Era Elysian Realm and pursue the Path of Infinity, actually cut off its own path to survival.
The choice she ultimately made was completely unlike that of a different person compared to her previous actions.
Klein completes the replication of the virus, Mobius's Memory Body will have the opportunity to leave the Previous Era Elysian Realm.
Mobius: "Hey, everyone says you're all too prejudiced against me. I'm a Flame-Chasers, after all. Can't you trust me a little more?"
Kiana: "You mean the Memory Body Flame-Chasers that betrays its own body?"
Mobius: "..."
There's no way to refute it; after all, everyone knows that her Memory Body betrayed the real person.
Moreover, the attempt to backstab failed, and he ended up being outmaneuvered by himself.
You call her a noble person with a Flame-Chasers will, willing to sacrifice herself for others? That's such a lame joke, like Fire Moth— nobody would believe it.
Pardofelis: "I didn't expect even Sister Snake to die. The Herrscher of Corruption almost drove us to the brink of destruction."
Elysia: "It is because he gave up his life and betrayed the Signet of Infinity that the Mobius of the Infinity came to an end."
Sue: "After all, there's no other way to end the Mobius Infinity."
As a colleague of Flame-Chasers and someone who knew Möbius's background very well, Sue truly understood Mobius's Infinity.
It's truly the kind of situation where, unless Mobius himself seeks death, anyone trying to kill Mobius would face an insurmountable obstacle, much like Emperor Xuanzong of Tang of Tang's arduous journey to the West.
All I can say is that the Herrscher of Corruption's move to corrupt Klein was absolutely brilliant.
Otherwise, once Mobius completes his plan and leaves the Previous Era Elysian Realm, it will be almost impossible for him to kill her again.
Kiana: "Although Mobius's Memory Body is a traitor, she's genuinely good to Klein."
For Klein's future, he gave up his own Infinity.
More shocking to them than Mobius's death was the act of betraying the Signet of Infinity.
Mobius: "What do you mean? Haven't I treated Klein well?!"
Himeko Murata: "Oh? Mobius, you mean you'd also give up your Infinity for Klein?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their heads in unison, eager to see Mobius's arrogant expression.
Unfortunately, although Teacher Himeko's counter-question was perfectly timed, Mobius wasn't buying it.
Mobius: "Give up Infinity? What a joke! I can take Klein with me, surpass humanity, surpass everything! Klein understands me, she will support me!"
[Mobius uses the Life Coin.]
Mobius: "Tsk, the good stuff is gone."
Life Coin are good, but unfortunately, they're one less to use each time. With this last one used, Mobius's Life Coin are all gone.
Adding to the mess she made with Vill-V, she really doesn't have much money left, she's practically penniless now.
"Looking gloomy isn't my style."
At the Previous Era base of the Fire Moth, Mobius shook his head, put his clothes back on with a smile, and walked towards the laboratory.
As soon as she entered, she spotted Klein working overtime, completely absorbed in his task.
They didn't even notice someone had come in.
'As expected, Klein has always been very capable. A good Klein is Klein who only works overtime in the lab and stays away from danger!'
Mobius thought to himself, then sat down opposite Klein and watched her work overtime.
Time passed second by second, and the precious 24 hours of Life Coin were wasted like flowing water.
"Doctor, why are you staring at me?"
Finally Klein couldn't hold back any longer, put down his work, looked up at Mobius, and asked.
"As the head of the lab, is there a problem with you paying attention to your assistant?"
"No problem, but you only come to me when you have troublesome work to do, Doctor."
Klein stared at Mobius's mocking gaze and couldn't help but sigh.
My clothes got a hole burned by the alcohol lamp, I can't open the lab drawer, and the design on my lunchbox is ugly...
Based on Klein's experience, the reason Mobius would contact him at this time was most likely because of something similar.
Upon hearing this, Mobius curled his lip in displeasure. "How can an assistant helping the Doctor adjust his personal state be considered troublesome work?"
"But this kind of thing shouldn't be within the scope of an assistant's job, right?"
Don't worry about the details.
Mobius waved his hand and put his hand in the pocket of his white coat. "I have something good to give you, Klein."
"Doctor, isn't it too early to give out holiday gifts?"
Klein frowned.
She strongly suspected that Mobius would pull out a pile of documents from his pocket, or even Mobius entire file, and ask her to attend the meeting in Mobius's place.
This isn't the first time something like this has happened.
Mobius vehemently denied it, saying, "No, it really is just a very ordinary gift."
What Mobius took out from his white coat was a green crystal, with an unknown green liquid seemingly flowing inside, its diamond-shaped facets sparkling and translucent.
"Doctor, this kind of expensive gemstone can hardly be called ordinary, can it?"
Even if Klein naive, he knew that this gem was extremely valuable and must have been a high-quality item that the Doctor had obtained from Eden.
"It is indeed extraordinary, but to commemorate the first anniversary of the Mobius Laboratory, I have decided to give it to you!"
Mobius held up the crystal in his hand and shoved it into Klein's hand, giving her no chance to refuse.
Klein looked up seriously. "Doctor, do you really know when the laboratory's first anniversary is?"
It's definitely not today.
"Snort."
Mobius gave a soft snort and turned his head away, not wanting to discuss this pointless topic.
"Sigh... okay."
Klein realized that if she didn't accept the gift, Dr. Mobius would definitely get angry.
"Anyway, thank you, Doctor."
People who work in the lab don't usually pay much attention to their appearance, but Klein, like the celebrities on TV, wore a crystal necklace.
This was the first time she had ever received such a special gift from Mobius.
"Don't mention it, Klein, because we're about to go through a tough time together."
Mobius patted Klein on the shoulder and presented him with the remaining financial statements for the Klein.
Chapter 321 The Mobius Who Pampers Klein
"Doctor, what's going on?!"
Even someone as composed as Klein couldn't help but widen his eyes and shout out involuntarily when he saw the financial statements.
The once ample laboratory funding has now been reduced to half!
The third stage of the Honkai Energy Serum, and the cloning and development experiments for the Panacea... this is all the money we have left, it's simply not enough!
"I don't know either, the funding just disappeared inexplicably."
"Doctor, do you think I believe that?"
