I'm on the Ark, and I start out as Gretchen.

Just now, Bianca informed her that Sakura's matter had been resolved and she could be summoned at any time.

However, this matter is not important to Mebius at the moment. She is still in the archives room, in a location where she cannot be directly brought over, and her primary task is to continue searching through the documents.

Moreover, Möbius never intended to place Sakura by his side in the first place, after all, Sakura has no talent for scientific research...

Therefore, in her view, directly bringing someone to her side wouldn't be very effective. It would be better to place Sakura in a place where she could better utilize her abilities, such as Rhine Lab's Defense Division.

On one hand, Sakura and Saria are not too bad off and can work together. At the same time, Sakura can also keep an eye on the movements of Saria Rhine Fist King Raria.

On the other hand, given that Saria might not stay at Rhine Lab for very long, Mebius had considered having Sakura take her place after she left.

As for how Sakura gets into the Defense Section, that's no longer Snake's business; she'll have to figure that out herself...

After all, Saria, the head of the defense department, is known for her fairness and integrity, so it wouldn't be easy for her to pull any tricks.

"call……"

Mebius exhaled a soft breath, collected his thoughts, and focused his attention back on the documents in his hands.

However, before she could look for long... a crisp footstep sounded and approached her step by step.

"Da da--"

"..."

Although Mebius heard the footsteps and sensed the presence of the person approaching, he remained calm and showed no intention of looking up, his thoughts and focus still on the documents.

However, if someone were to look her in the eye at this moment, they would see that beneath her seemingly calm exterior, a hint of irritation and impatience was slowly flashing in her eyes.

After all, Möbius had never liked being constantly disturbed while he was researching or studying. It was one thing when it was "himself" before, but this time…

"I never expected that Miss Möbius, who has recently caused quite a stir in academic circles, would be looking at such basic information?"

No matter how much Mebius didn't want to pay attention at that moment, Horhaia's clear voice still reached her ears along with the sound of footsteps.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Möbius did not rush to answer. Instead, he continued flipping through the documents in his hand until the end of this chapter. Only then did he slowly raise his eyelids and say, "So, what do you need me for?"

"If not, to borrow a guy's words, 'please' get out of here and disappear from my sight, thank you~"

"You

"What a simple and crude way to get rid of someone! I never expected Miss Möbius to use such rude language."

Instead of getting angry at Mebius's attempt to drive her away, Horhaia's interest in her green eyes intensified.

To be honest, Horhaya had never been particularly interested in people, because in her opinion, it was better to study documents or collections full of flowing history.

But... that was just what I thought before I first met Möbius.

Strictly speaking, this isn't the first time Horhaia has met Mebius; she had met this newcomer from the structural engineering department before.

But how to put it, Holhaia never imagined that someone would give her such a strange feeling.

At first glance, she actually thought Möbius was "one of her kind," but upon closer observation, she discovered differences, even experiencing a strange and completely opposite sense of repulsion...

So, during their first meeting, although there was no communication or interaction, Horhaia had already taken Möbius to heart and secretly began to observe and investigate him.

But it would have been better if she hadn't investigated; the investigation only fueled her interest.

As for why this happened, it was because... after her investigation, Horhaia was astonished to discover that, with her abilities, she couldn't find any trace of Mebius's life...

The only thing found was that she passed through Kazimierz on her way here, nothing more.

When Kazimierz is mentioned, Horhaya can't help but think of the terrifyingly powerful [Radiant Knight] who was all the rage a few days ago... and the fact that neither of them has any obvious racial characteristics also slightly made her think of them.

As for the race that Mebius wrote in the Rhine Life Archives as "Agor," Horhaia still harbors her doubts.

Because her intuition told her that Möbius was not as simple as he seemed...

Chapter 66 Möbius: "You, and your race, are utterly laughable to me."

"That's a really crude and simple way to get rid of people. I never expected that Miss Mebius would use such rude words."

"What kind of words you say depends on who you're talking to, don't you think? This rude young lady who's bothering others~"

Mebius raised an eyebrow slightly in response to Horhys's words, and then retorted mercilessly once again.

"Miss Mebius gets so annoyed that she's been disturbed? Or has I discovered some little secret?" Looking at the impatient Mebius in front of her, Horhaia slowly curled the corners of her mouth and said with a smile.

"Secrets? Heh~" Upon hearing this, Möbius, whose expression had been somewhat displeased, suddenly chuckled softly and continued, "Compared to an ordinary little researcher like me, young lady, you seem to have more secrets, don't you?"

"Which ones are you referring to, Miss Möbius?"

After hearing Mebius's words, Horhaia was startled, but she remained calm and smiled as she asked in return.

In Horhaya's eyes now, the communication between the two is no longer a normal chat, but a covert contest or a mutual test.

She didn't want to lose to this mysterious woman in front of her; she was determined to extract at least some useful information.

However, Horhyah had no idea that while she knew very little about Mebius, he already knew everything about her, including her origins, identity, race, racial secrets, and so on.

"Hehe~ Who knows?"

Faced with Horhys's question, Mebius did not reveal anything, but simply chuckled and answered in a nonchalant tone.

"Alright, I've finished looking at the information I wanted. You may leave now." With that, Mebius had no intention of lingering any longer. After putting the information back, he prepared to leave.

After all, in her opinion, spending time here with this curious woman, Holhaya, was a complete waste of time. Why not do something better with that time?

"Miss Mebius certainly knows a lot."

Watching Mebius turn and leave, Horhys narrowed her eyes slightly. Although she was unwilling, she ultimately did not stop her from leaving, but only muttered something under her breath.

After all, Horhaia had also realized that Mebius was not someone who could be easily tricked into revealing information, and that continuing the conversation would not yield any more useful information.

However, this exchange was not without its gains. The fact that "Mebius does indeed know quite a lot of things" is useful information, isn't it?

Mebius, who hadn't gone far, heard Horhys's mutterings. A dark glint flashed in his serpentine eyes. He paused, turned his head slightly, and said in a "gentle" tone:

"Little snake, curb your curiosity. Some things are not for you to explore."

"!"

With just a casual remark from Mebius and a single glance, Horhaia suddenly felt as if she had seen something terrifying. Her pupils contracted, and she felt a chill run down her spine.

"Hehe~ This is much cuter." A hint of pleasure flashed in Mebius's gradient-colored eyes as she watched Holhaya's flustered state. She then gently tossed her long hair before continuing:

"You don't want to know?"

Do I know anything, little snake? Well then, I'll leave those words here..."

"You, and your race, are utterly laughable to me. Yesterday? Heh~"

After speaking, Mebius quietly withdrew his aura and left Rhine Lab's archives without any hesitation, leaving someone standing alone inside.

"!..."

"..."

"call--"

Holhaia watched Möbius leave for quite a while before finally managing to relax her tense nerves. Then, while panting heavily, she grabbed a bookshelf to keep herself from collapsing.

Horhys was in a bit of a mess, her mind filled with the huge question, "What is Mebius?"

Having experienced the "minor" incident just now, she would no longer naively believe that Möbius was human... because that extreme sense of oppression was something that ordinary humans could never give her.

"Phew... This is really someone I've messed with."

Exhaling another breath, Holhaya reached out and patted her face, trying to calm her trembling mind and emotions.

Although she didn't have any specific guesses, Horhyah was now convinced that Mebius, even if not an ethereal god, was at least a very ancient being...

Combined with the fact that Möbius had put forward novel viewpoints and was regarded by many as another genius, the information she had seen before that was like "common sense" in the scientific community, and the fact that there was no information about her life, Horhyah became even more convinced of her idea.

Is it ridiculous to chase after yesterday?

After calming down completely, Horhaia recalled Mebius's last words, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.

She... was actually a little confused because of someone else's words. If conditions allowed, she really wanted to grab someone's shoulder and ask them why.

However, the reality is that she doesn't have that condition... Even if she wants to get in touch again later, she has to be careful.

————————————————————

"..."

Möbius left the archives in a good mood. After all, he had just successfully released the anger he had been holding in.

Moreover, this "deterrence" would prevent that woman, Holhaya, from bothering him again, no matter how curious she was... Even if she did come, her attitude would definitely not be the same as before.

However, what Mebius said at the end wasn't entirely nonsense.

Having learned about Horhaia, she genuinely found it somewhat laughable that the Feathered Serpent race had imposed "shackles and curses" on her bloodline.

Of course, Mebius did not find it difficult to understand why a race whose bloodline was gradually thinning would pursue its former strength and glory.

However, while she could understand, she absolutely could not condone this race's pursuit of yesterday's methods.

……

After leaving the archives, Möbius did not intend to return to his office to continue working, but instead chose to go out for a while.

As for the reason... well, it's to summon Sakura, and at the same time, Mebius also plans to buy some daily necessities, such as bubble wrap.

P.S.: I tried my best today, but only managed one update. I'm sorry, I didn't get home until after 10 pm. I haven't even washed up yet, but I won't need to go out tomorrow, so I should be able to update earlier then.

Chapter 67 Muirsay

It wasn't until he left Rhine Life's office building and received "strange" looks from others outside that Möbius finally realized the inappropriateness of his attire.

Having just confronted Horhyah, she didn't think twice and simply came out wearing her lab coat. It was fine inside Rhine Lab, but coming out was definitely too conspicuous.

However, at this point, Möbius didn't plan to go back to change her clothes; she simply put away her name tag. After all, she was already out, and she had never cared about other people's opinions or judgments.

Without any hesitation, she calmly went to find a suitable place to summon Sakura.

Because it could be considered a miraculous transformation in a sense, Mebius did not intend to make a big fuss about it.

She didn't want anyone to know about her relationship with Sakura if necessary, because that would affect their future plans...

……

Finally, after wandering around for a while and finding a secluded spot, Mebius quietly summoned Sakura.

"..."
