The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Seeing this, Mei shook her head, thinking to herself, "Bronya, Bronya, it's not good to bully a newbie like this."

Of course, thinking about it is one thing.

She had no intention of rescuing Hei Fu from his misery.

Who let her get so obsessed with playing cards? Maybe she'll finally wake up after she learns a lesson?

But now, I have more important things to deal with.

With that thought in mind, Mei looked toward Kiana's tent.

At this moment, the tent was swaying precariously, and strange, inexplicable noises were constantly emanating from inside.

"Hey, don't be so cold~ Come on, give me a smile!"

"Hehe, are you perhaps shy?"

"Don't do this~? Oh, so you hate this? But you seem to..."

A series of whispers allowed Mei to confirm what was happening even without lifting the tent flap.

It was Alicia who uttered these shameful words.

And at this very moment, the person she's flirting with...

It seems like Kiana is the only one left?

Upon hearing the sounds coming from inside the tent, Mei's face turned ashen.

After all, such a sound is simply too shameful.

Moreover, at this moment, Alicia's voice sounded even more alluring, as if it were teasing one's heart.

"Alicia..."

Mei silently drew her sword, then silently withdrew it back.

Although she felt this was wrong, she still needed this woman for the time being.

Let's settle the accounts later.

So, if we go in now, will it make them feel awkward?

Mei stroked her chin and thought for a moment before realizing what was happening.

As long as I'm not embarrassed, then it's the two of them who are embarrassed.

Realizing this, she decisively pulled open the tent flap, wanting to see just how Kiana had fallen under Alicia's onslaught.

As it turned out, the situation inside the tent far exceeded her expectations.

All you could see was Alicia holding... the awakened Mebius, who kept grinning mischievously.

Kiana remained quietly to the side, showing no intention of getting involved in their relationship.

Seeing this, Mei breathed a sigh of relief, then shook her head in disappointment.

"Mei!"

Upon seeing Mei arrive, Kiana rushed over to greet her, then complained, "You're finally here. She almost got away just now."

she?

After hearing Kiana's complaint, Mei turned her gaze to Mebius.

At the scene, it seems only she could be described as having almost run away.

"Hmph, little guinea pig."

Seeing Mei's gaze, Dr. Mebius's expression darkened.

At this moment, she desperately wanted to tear Alicia away and leave this room full of these unsettling white mice.

Unfortunately, she couldn't do it...

"That stupid bastard, that barbaric alien, actually got me into this state..."

At this moment, Mebius had already cursed the calamity a hundred times over in his heart.

She truly hadn't expected that this guy would be on his deathbed...

Hou actually had a ruthless trick up his sleeve.

The ability to severely injure oneself... this power should not be underestimated.

Fortunately, he was probably also seriously injured.

This is one of the few things that can make Mebius happy.

If she could, she would rush to his side right now and laugh at this simple-minded creature who only knows how to solve problems with his muscles.

They then tried to extract information about his hometown from his mind.

Unfortunately, the opponent's mental strength was very strong, so she had no way of obtaining anything of value.

This greatly annoyed Mebius, but it also made him even more interested in the man.

"It's unbelievable that Thousand Calamities still had such a move up his sleeve," Mebius muttered to himself as he recovered his strength.

Mei overheard those words.

"Thousand Calamities... He seemed to have been holding back specifically to deal with the End, but he unleashed it when dealing with you. Mebius, why is the conflict between you and Thousand Calamities so irreconcilable?"

She couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"How would I know? You're asking me, who should I ask?" Möbius replied casually as he recovered his strength.

"Don't you know..." Mei Nannan said.

“Yes, I don’t know. Just like I don’t know who the woman next to you is.” Möbius curled his lip in disdain.

Kiana smiled when she heard Mebius call her name.

Then he waved his hand and pointed to his nose: "I don't call her that, I call her Kiana."

"Oh? Okay, then I'll call you Guinea Pig Number Two from now on."

Kiana was immediately displeased upon hearing this.

What, "Little Guinea Mouse Number Two"? You... that's a really random nickname.

Kiana didn't want to be called a guinea pig, so she waved her hand and said, "I don't like that title."

"Huh? You don't like this number? What should we do then? Little mouse, why don't you come up with a number yourself?"

Although Mebius was captured, he showed no signs of being captured.

On the contrary, he was able to deal with Kiana with great ease.

She seemed completely unconcerned about what might happen to her.

However, she really doesn't need to worry about what might happen to her, because Alicia is there for her.

Mei and Kiana have a lot of complaints, but they don't directly criticize.

Therefore, the initial negotiations between the two sides were relatively amicable.

Now, it's time to get down to business.

Mebius looked left and right, then asked Kiana and Mei, "Is Senju dead?"

"The first thing they ask is whether someone is dead or not..."

Kiana and Mei exchanged a glance and shrugged: "They're still alive and well."

Upon hearing this, Mebius immediately felt regretful.

If only he were dead, I could directly conduct a biopsy and extract information from his brain.

And now, it seems we still have a long way to go before we know exactly what the Thousand Tribulations are.

"What a pity. So where is he now?"

"He's resting in a nearby tent; he woke up much earlier than you. If it weren't for Aponia's intervention, you might have been in danger."

"Tsk..."

Realizing that he might have been saved by Aponia, a hint of displeasure appeared on Möbius's face.

What are you muttering about?

Upon hearing Mei's voice, Mebius merely glanced at her and said nothing more.

Looking at Mebius's expression, Mei couldn't help but laugh and said, "You don't need to be so afraid of me, I won't hurt you."

"No, you're overthinking it. I'm not afraid that one day the test subjects will rebel against the researchers."

Mebius answered with a smile.

It's hard to tell whether she's putting on a brave face or genuinely unafraid.

Seeing this, Mei and Kiana exchanged a glance.

Kiana then nodded: "It seems you're not afraid of us, that's good. So, Dr. Möbius, could you please provide some clues?"

"What clue?" Mebius asked.

"A clue about your mastermind, the so-called... Great Demon King."

Kiana said so.

Chapter Seventeen: The Great Demon King Who Loves to Tell Lame Jokes

Although Kiana wasn't entirely sure why Alicia used the title "Great Demon King."

But one thing is certain: that person is definitely not simple, someone who can make her feel fear, and someone who can threaten her.

Who could this person be?

Kiana was unsure, which was why she needed to find out the truth: "Can you tell me the answer, Mebius?"

“...Great, Demon King?” Mebius tilted his head and repeated.

"Yes, your great demon king."

"Hahaha, why would you use such a ridiculous adjective to describe him?"

Möbius laughed, a very happy laugh.
