"........."
Sakura's body froze instantly, and her ears straightened instantly.
Wow~ As expected of Nozomi, she easily accomplished something that others couldn't~?
But didn’t he just say something extraordinary and extraordinary as if nothing had happened?
Ah… What should I do? What should I do… I should respond now, right? I should respond now, right?
"I... am... also..."
The ears on Sakura's head trembled slightly, and the color of the cherry blossoms became even redder. The sound of her response was as thin as a mosquito, just like the falling cherry blossoms, which was difficult to detect.

[If it's Sakura, I'd like her no matter what she becomes]
"???" x2
[If it's Sakura, I'd like her no matter what she becomes]
"???" x2
"Okay~ Recording completed~ Photo taken~ Playback is also OK~?"
"...Alicia?"
Xiwang and Ying were a little surprised when they saw Alicia fiddling with a camera and a small speaker that came from nowhere not far away.
"Hey~ Did you miss me~ I'm sorry to bother you, but I just happened to record a crucial scene~?"
Having said that, as if showing off her achievements, Alicia pressed the play button on the small speaker again.
[If it's Sakura, I'd like her no matter what she becomes]
Xi Wang's voice came clearly from inside, and it was playing in a continuous loop.
And in Alicia's other hand, she was holding a camera. Ying could clearly see the photo displayed on it...it was her and Xiwang.
An inexplicable feeling of shame surged into Sakura's heart.
"What a pity~ I couldn't record Sakura's response... Sakura should be bolder and more straightforward~ Just be as straightforward as Nozomi~?"
"........."
"Alicia!"
Facing Alicia's words, Xi Wang looked helpless with empty eyes, while Ying was so anxious that she was about to "blush".
"Oh my~ Why is Sakura so anxious? Is she too worried that Wang will embarrass herself in front of others? The relationship between the two of you is so good~ I'm so envious~"
"So, you two, now..."
Although it was a pity that it was not fully recorded, Alicia still spoke happily and slightly cunningly, turned up the volume of the small speaker to the maximum, and then... ran directly out of the laboratory.
"Is it time to tell our friends this news~?"
But...how many friends does Alicia have?
Not many actually, probably about 90% of the Fire Moths, hm.
…Wouldn’t that be equivalent to telling everyone? ! !
"Alishia! Wait!"
Sakura hurriedly chased after him, bursting into speed far beyond expectations.
"…Alas, I have to update the data again."
Klein glanced at the data about Sakura's speed that he had just temporarily detected and sighed helplessly.
"My camera..."
Cang Xuan looked at the two quickly disappearing pink figures and bit his sleeve unwillingly.
“No, it’s my camera.”
Danzhu corrected silently.
Chapter 26: Mobius: I believe we will get along happily~
"Okay~ Now that Alicia, that troublesome person, has left, and your girlfriend has gone after her, then... maybe we can start to resolve the issues between us?"
Mebius leaned leisurely against the door, looking at Xiwang with his dangerous gradient eyes without any concealment.
"Why on earth could you put aside your prejudice and come to me, little white mouse~"
"I came to ask you something."
Facing Mobius, Xi Wang's tone returned to that calm state like water, causing Mobius to sigh.
"Oh my, my~ When those two left, you returned to this state. Are you so unhappy being with me? I obviously like you too~"
The corners of Mebius' mouth curled up slightly, and the charm in his words went up several levels.
"On the body~"
"I was hoping you could answer my question."
"Alright alright~ You're such a boring guy... But you're my favorite guinea pig~"
Mebius spread his hands helplessly, then laughed again, tapped his lips with his fingertips, and asked.
"But...what are you willing to exchange...?"
"Naturally, you are most interested."
"...Are you serious?"
"Naturally, or are you more interested in something else?"
"Ha... no... hahaha... no, I'm only interested in you and your body, little guinea pig~"
Perhaps he was too happy, Mebius slightly adjusted the corners of his mouth that were constantly rising, but he still couldn't stop smiling.
"Ha... As expected~ You still can't escape from my palm~ Little white mouse~ I didn't expect that you came here voluntarily... It really makes me... happy~"
"I really like you now~"
"Well... in return, I will answer your questions ~ within the scope of my knowledge ~"
Mebius walked closer leisurely and sat down very close to Xiwang, staring at him with his dangerous snake eyes.
"…Why did Alicia undergo surgery?"
"Ha~ So you really care about this? But I may disappoint you. She suddenly broke into my laboratory and asked me to perform surgery on her~ Otherwise, the second [Fusion Warrior] should be me, not her."
At this point, Mebius frowned slightly again, seeming a little uncertain.
"But even so, I don't have much memory of Alicia's surgery... But there are records of her surgery. Maybe the side effects of the [Super Mutation Factor] have affected us. After all, our research on Honkai is not thorough enough."
She didn't seem to care much about this issue. Obviously, although she realized that something was wrong, she didn't take it to heart. Or maybe it was because this matter was related to Alicia, so she didn't take it to heart.
"Is that so... Then why is Alicia still on the [list]?"
"When did your brain become so stupid, little guinea pig? You can easily guess what those people are thinking... Of course, it's to show others that [this is all planned]~ And to show others the success rate of the [Fusion Warrior Program], and to increase the registration rate a little bit."
"After all, even Alicia, the first person to take the initiative, succeeded. Add in Kevin at the beginning and me later. The success of the three of us will give others the illusion that [the success rate of this experiment may be very high]... Those people would rather believe this kind of unfounded inference than the clear data that has been made public. It's really confusing."
Mebius spread her hands, seeming very confused, but then a slightly sarcastic smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.
“But that’s how people are~”
"So Alicia's name was added later..."
Xi Wang roughly knew about Alishia's situation. Although he felt a little helpless about Alishia's willful behavior, but... this is Alishia... and no matter what, she is still alive in the end and he can see her again, so that's good.
"Sakura...she volunteered, right?"
"That's right~ Didn't you just find out from her?"
"…If I ask you to have the surgery in advance, how long will it take to be ready?"
"The specific arrangements will still be in accordance with their wishes. After all, I don't care about this aspect, but..."
Mebius leaned forward slightly, got in front of Xiwang, tapped his chest with his fingertips, and spoke with a chuckle in a sweet and seductive tone.
"If I were you, the guinea pig, you could do it anytime."
"After all, I have made a lot of preparations for you~"
This time, Xi Wang did not dodge or push Mebius away, but just let her touch him. Seeing this, Mebius became more bold, looking at his body curiously with a different kind of desire in his eyes.
"Finally...if we get rid of a high-ranking Fire Moth who is similar to you or lower in rank than you, will it have any impact?"
"…If you want to die, I recommend that you don't take Alicia with you, don't take Sakura with you, and don't take anyone else with you."
Mebius' tone instantly turned cold, and the ends of her green hair began to move unconsciously, just like the "snake hair" of Medusa in the legend. The aura she exuded also became like a "snake", dangerous and deadly.
"If you had thought of this earlier, you might just be taken to court, and in addition to death, you would also bring some minor troubles to other people... Although I hate them, at this time, they have rarely put aside their conflicts and started to do things properly."
"Although there are still many hidden problems, they will definitely not let any of them die. The Fire Moth cannot withstand the turmoil of power. If something like this happens, you will definitely be caught. No matter who you kill, it will be the same, and all the people related to you will suffer."
"What if it's after surgery?"
"Although I'm glad that you have the confidence to survive, but... do you want to listen to what you just said, little white mouse?"
Mebius was almost laughing out of anger.
"Maybe I have to re-evaluate you. Has your brain been damaged by love recently? Or is it filled with Alicia's tricks? You have become so stupid... or do you feel happy to cause trouble for others?"
"Do you want them to deny the [Fusion Warrior Project], let them think that [Fusion Warriors after surgery cannot obey orders to fight Honkai], and then maximize their fear of us?"
"Or do you think that they will not care about it because of your identity as a fusion warrior? Don't be ridiculous. They will only be afraid of you and us for such a force that will resist and even hurt them."
"By then, not only you and me, but also Alicia and Ying, or Kevin and Mei, everyone will be implicated by you and dealt with by them together."
"Maybe we won't die, but our movements will definitely be completely restricted... Do you think this is fun?"
This is the first time that Mebius has been so angry in front of you. Apparently, something in Xiwang's question just now has touched a sore spot in her.
"Is that so...I understand."
Xi Wang closed his eyes, readjusted his breathing, and his mind quickly calmed down. Then he opened his eyes again, but the slight golden color in his pupils had expanded a little, hardly noticeable.
“…I’ve finished asking questions.”
"Oh? Is that all? I thought you had more things to be curious about, little white mouse~"
Mebius resumed her usual teasing and seductive tone, and at the same time, she became more proactive and more...aggressive in her actions.
"Then... according to the agreement, you should belong to me from now on~ right~"
He pressed Xi Wang against the wall, and the strength of a fusion warrior made it difficult for Xi Wang to resist. He moved close to him, almost touching him, and his fingertips gradually moved up from his chest, across his neck, and finally gently lifted his chin.
"Only for a while."
"Yes, yes~ I won't embarrass you too much~"
Mebius smiled with satisfaction and waved his hand slightly, signaling several assistants on the other side of the one-way glass.
"Okay Klein, just leave the work at hand to Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu. We have more important things to deal with."
"Don't worry, little white mouse."
Mebius looked at Xiwang and was quite satisfied with his pupils that were so calm that they seemed not to change.
"I believe that we will have a pleasant time together. Whether it is an experiment or an operation, I will choose the best and most suitable one for you."
"Well then... let's get started~ Let's see what new possibilities your [Quality] can create~"
"........."
Xi Wang just rolled his eyes, not paying any attention to her tone which sounded like temptation and madness.
