Zongman: Picked up Medea at the beginning

As he spoke, he walked to the door and pushed open the laboratory door.

"I have already made room for you, and now——"

Roland walked to the door, then turned his back to the light outside and spread his hands towards Mebius and the others.

"Welcome to Anti-Entropy~"

After hearing what Roland said, Mobius and the others also walked out of the laboratory. Then they found that it was really not the fire moth outside. After that, they went back to the laboratory and took a look around. Only then did they confirm that their entire laboratory had been moved here!

Then Roland looked at Mebius, who was still a little dazed, and reminded her.

"Okay, next I will arrange for someone to take you to familiarize yourself with the surroundings. If you need anything, just tell them. Today you should adapt to the anti-entropy environment. Tomorrow, I will take you to the Sea of ​​Life... Oh, you can simply think of the Sea of ​​Life as the magic workshop I told you about before, but it's on a higher level."

"That's also where we create fusion warriors and conduct biological research. It will definitely exceed your imagination. You can even look forward to it."

"I still have something to do here... But if you have anything you want to take from the Fire Moth but haven't gotten, feel free to send someone to find me and I'll take you back to get it."

Hearing Roland treating the Fire Moth as his own warehouse, Mebius was silent for a while, then nodded.

It's time for her to adapt to these mysterious technologies.

Then Roland left. After all, he had made Eden wait for quite a while, and it would be a bit too much if he didn't leave.

Before leaving, he arranged for Aponia and Alicia to come over. Although he felt that there would definitely be some trouble between Alicia and Mebius, with the two of them around, nothing would go wrong here.

After Roland left, Mebius first explained magic to Klein, Danzhu and Cangxuan, which shocked their worldviews and made Danzhu and Cangxuan look forward to the Sea of ​​Life that Roland mentioned before he left. Even Klein nodded in agreement.

However, Mebius himself was not very excited about the Sea of ​​Life that Roland mentioned.

After all, no matter how magical the magic is, experimental results, data and the like should just be expressed in a different form. After going to the Sea of ​​Life tomorrow, he will probably learn a lot of new things. So Mebius is just curious about the Sea of ​​Life, that's all.

But the sea of ​​life is not that simple.

....

110. Mei and Cecilia

Of course, Eden did not stay in one place during this period. Before Roland came to see Mebius, he had someone take Eden on a tour around Anti-Entropy and Dusk Street.

Eden had just returned from shopping, and then Roland came over directly.

"Sorry, I was a little busy just now, so I came a little late."

Hearing Roland's voice, Eden looked over. When she saw Roland, a very gentle and extremely beautiful smile appeared on her face.

"It's okay. I just sat down not long ago."

"Didn't the little girl come with you?"

"If she knew you still called her a little girl, she would be angry again."

Eden shook her head slightly, but she couldn't help laughing when she thought of Roland's cat-like reaction when he first called her assistant "little girl".

This feeling made her feel a lot more relaxed.

After all, she came to Anti-Entropy mainly to ask Roland about what happened during the Australian concert, so when she thought about the guy who could easily turn the surroundings into a flaming hell being dealt with by Roland, she felt a little strange and nervous when facing Roland.

But after actually meeting Roland and chatting with him for a while, this feeling disappeared.

Because she knew that Roland was still Roland, and that was enough to make people feel at ease.

"She still has some things to deal with. After all, such a big thing happened during the Australian concert. Although no one died under your anti-entropy protection, there are still a lot of things to deal with. She has been dealing with these things recently. She has been talking about you from time to time these days."

"She wants me to go back and deal with those troubles. It's better not to go there and suffer with her. But who knows, maybe I can help her even if I don't go there."

Hearing Eden say this, Roland laughed, and laughed very happily.

"Okay, let's put these things aside for now. Eden, I know what you came to me to ask, but before we talk about this topic, I must ask you first, do you realize that you will become unfortunate after learning all this?"

Seeing that Roland was getting more serious, Eden also became serious.

She looked at Roland and gave her answer directly without much thought.

"I actually had it in mind when I saw you standing in front of me that night... If there was a stage, I wanted to be the brightest one, but what happened that day made me see with my own eyes that art was squeezed out of the flames without any room left."

"In fact, I have thought about this question for a long time. Why do I sing?"

"Is it to respond to everyone's expectations? Is it to bring out your own talents?"

"I thought about it carefully. I was singing before people started to have expectations of me. If I just wanted to develop my talent, I wouldn't need to be as tall as I am now."

"It's not for money either, because I don't even touch money. I don't have any interest in or pursuit of money."

“The answer I finally found was art—because I want to be the brightest one, and I hope to be the same in the future as well as now, so I think I need to leave something behind.”

"But on that night of the Australian concert, everything I had believed in seemed to be false. Wasn't it that the reality of the world was already revealed to me at that moment, regardless of whether I agreed or not?"

Having said this, Eden looked into Roland's eyes.

"So, I had thought about it before I came here, and I was aware of it a long time ago."

Hearing Eden's answer, Roland nodded.

"Well, first let me introduce you to the most powerful disaster that humans have ever faced, the Honkai Impact."

Roland and Eden were in talks, while Aponia and Alicia also came to Mebius' laboratory.

Ever since Alicia defected to Anti-Entropy, she and Mebius haven't seen each other for a while.

But when Klein, Danzhu and Cangxuan met the two of them again, they still felt that the relationship between the two had not changed at all.

"Mobius, I heard that you also came to Anti-Entropy. I'm very happy, so please accept my gift for the new member. This is the care of the seniors for the juniors, and you are not allowed to refuse."

Alicia smiled and held a pink dress, pushing it directly to Mebius, while Mebius had a dark face and resisted with all his might.

However, compared to the beginning, Mebius's greatest weapon is obviously that hard and sarcastic mouth.

"Humph, who wants your wedding gift? Besides, this kind of pink skirt is generally not your favorite. Oh, I see. You didn't pay attention when you bought the skirt, and you gained weight and can't wear it, right?"

Alicia and Mobius fought a tug-of-war for a long time.

In the end, it ended with Alicia winning.

Mebius would definitely not wear such a skirt, but in order to prevent Alicia from continuing to pester her, she accepted the skirt.

"Okay, Alysia, I don't have the time to talk to you about this... Roland asked you to take us to get familiar with Anti-Entropy, and there's also the issue of accommodation arrangements. We can't all four of us live in the laboratory."

Hearing what Mebius said, Alicia looked at Aponia, and then Aponia walked out silently and began to arrange everything.

During this process, Klein listened very carefully, while Danzhu and Cangxuan were interested in everything and kept asking Aponya questions.

Abonya was not angry. Seeing them like this, she explained to them bit by bit.

However, after Mebius memorized the residence, the cafeteria, the toilet, the department that managed the money, the appearance of Padofils who managed the money, and the location of Roland's office, she came to the back of the team and curled her lips at Alicia who had been walking in this position.

"If you have anything you want to ask, ask it now. Don't always follow me around like you want to say something."

Seeing Mobius like this, Alicia smiled and spoke.

"Ah, Mebius, you really do know me well."

Alicia knew Mobius well.

So after she said this, which made Mobius' face turn black, she seized the opportunity and continued her words before Mobius got angry.

"I mainly want to ask how Mei and the others are doing. After all, I see that you came here alone this time, and I am still a little worried about them."

Hearing Alicia ask this, although Mobius was a little unhappy, he still answered her.

"Mei is still the same. You might as well worry about Einstein instead of her. The woman named Cecilia Shaniyate whom Mei rescued in Changkong City is her bodyguard. What could go wrong with her?"

"By now, the news of my laboratory disappearing out of thin air should have spread among the Fire Moths. Mei may be investigating this matter with Cecilia."

Mobius said this, and Alicia nodded.

"That's right. After all, Cecilia is still very powerful. With her by Mei's side, there is really less need to worry."

Alicia started chatting with Mobius about the situation of the Fire Moths.

The content of their conversation was normal.

But if Roland was here, he would probably wonder about two things, and immediately ask his assimilated partner on the Fire Moth side to investigate the information about Mei that he had not paid attention to before.

What puzzled Roland was...

The first one is Cecilia Shaniat... Isn't she the Valkyrie of the post-civilization destiny? How could she appear in the pre-civilization?

Or is this the pre-civilized Cecilia?

The second point is that Alicia and Mebius kept mentioning Mei, but why didn’t they mention Kevin?

If Alicia and Mebius knew these two questions, they would probably answer "I don't know" to the first question.

After all, Cecilia's background was indeed very strange, and nothing could be found out no matter how hard they tried. She herself did not want to say much, and then Mei used her privileges to help Cecilia cover it all up.

Cecilia once protected Mei from the hands of the poisonous pupa killer, so Mei still trusts Cecilia very much.

As for Roland's second doubt...

After hearing this, Alicia would probably ask Roland why he thought of Kevin when he mentioned Mei?

If it were Mebius, her answer would probably be...

Kevin? Who's that?

.....three..

111. Roland always values ​​his companions the most.

"That's what it is."

Roland told Eden about the Honkai Impact, the Fire Moths, and the Anti-Entropy. Then he looked at Eden who was thinking without disturbing her, but just waited silently for her to ask questions.

After all, we learned so much in one breath. It is absolutely impossible to say that Eden has no problems at all.

Eden also realized that Roland was waiting for him, so he didn't think for too long. He quickly looked at Roland again and spoke.

"So on the day of the Australian concert, you already knew that there would be a big collapse in Australia?"

"Correct."

Roland nodded, and Eden's originally serious expression softened.

"Why don't you just deny it? Just agree directly. How can I continue to ask questions like this?"

Seeing Eden like this, Roland smiled.

"Because that's how it is. What I need is a companion, not a tool. So even if I use some tricks when I'm with you, companions can't always rely on such tricks to maintain a relationship."

"So if you ask, I will just answer you truthfully and make everything clear before I formally invite you."

"I signed up to be your assistant in the beginning because I wanted to pull you into Anti-Entropy. The big collapse at the Australian concert was also my plan to let you see what collapse is like - otherwise there wouldn't be so much preparation in that city."

Roland said it very frankly, whether it was something on the surface or something in secret, it was all like this.

"I made so many preparations because I know very well that if there are large-scale casualties in such a plan, it would be equivalent to me killing those people, which would violate the purpose of Anti-Entropy, and you would not be able to truly become my companion."

"So I did what I could. In the Seventh Collapse, the injured were dealt with quickly, the number of deaths due to the Collapse was zero, and all those who suffered losses received generous compensation and better arrangements."

"Then it's time for me to extend an invitation to you and get a response."

Eden was silent for a moment before continuing.

"Aren't you afraid that things will really get out of control if you do this?"

Hearing Eden's question, Roland shrugged.

"I have many considerations for the Seventh Collapse. Maybe you think it's a bit excessive, but it means a lot to me, and I can guarantee that nothing will go wrong, otherwise I won't do it - I'm not a risk-taker, never."

"Of course, I'm not the kind of person who would remove myself from the position of responsibility after doing something like this. When I made this plan, I was naturally prepared and aware of the responsibility."

"I'm not going to justify my behavior. It's a bad thing - but this is what I want to make clear to you."

"I am not a hero in a story, nor am I a savior born out of necessity. If you regard me as a saint, you will be the one who suffers in the end."

"My companions are the most important to me. If I were not the leader, I might have an easy life, but since I am the leader, I will shoulder the fate of everyone as much as possible."

"I will do good things, and I will try my best to respect the ideas of my companions - but I will also do bad things. If I don't like it, I can admit my mistakes, but I will never change. At most, I will do it more cleanly next time and not let you know, or make appropriate adjustments within the range that you can accept."

"I don't think it's cool to face a huge risk and then share it with everyone. In my opinion, it's the result of insufficient preparation."

"So I am this kind of person. Anti-Entropy is the organization under my command. I have said everything I need to say. Then Eden, I formally invite you. Do you want to join Anti-Entropy and become my companion?"

When Roland was recruiting other people, he never talked to them about these things at length.
