"It's just that you're always alone, Melutina. I feel like I might forget about you if I'm not careful. There are only so many people in our lab, and we can't exclude anyone."

"Does Senior Sister Danzhu really like the Möbius Laboratory?"

"I like him. Although Dr. Mebius is a bit strange, he's a good person... although, he's still a bit strange."

I said it without thinking, but Melutina seemed to be deep in thought.

Did I say something that's hard to understand?

"Senior Sister Danzhu is right."

Finally, she nodded.

"Dr. Mebius is indeed a good person."

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Möbius's Dream

"The process of evolution is not beautiful. On the contrary, it is extremely ugly, uglier than anything else. But only by going through this ugly process can we truly understand... the beauty of life."

I am Möbius, the world's greatest scientist, yes, without a doubt. As for the lab rat, you can confidently cross out Möbius.

Thinking is the foundation of human progress, and I am the most heterogeneous thinker in the world.

I understood what thinking was from the moment I was born. While others were still crying and wailing, I began my first experience of thinking.

I am Möbius, and like my name suggests, I am a unique anomaly in this world.

This is neither arrogance nor haughtiness.

Judging solely by research capabilities, even May and Vervière cannot compare to me.

Mei was intelligent, but not clever enough. She devoted all her energy to the grand ambition of saving the world, which led her to make many indelible scientific contributions, but also made her complacent and stagnant.

Vilvi is a genius idiot; she always wastes time on a lot of boring things.

Also, although I don't want to bring this up, I'm older than them.

Among the billions of people in this world, there can only be one Möbius, and that is me.

A sense of morality is both a treasure and a shackle in human evolution.

This prevents humanity from remaining in a primitive society, but it also allows these hypocritical rules to hinder further development.

It's time to break these boring chains. When humanity has completed its evolution, we can create a new "morality."

I know this idea is too radical and won't be accepted by people, but so what?

Even if I'm alone, I still have goals I need to achieve.

I knew from the beginning that I am... pure evil.

If I were in the Middle Ages, I would be burned at the stake, and people would be happy to watch this devil be burned to ashes.

If it were a hundred years ago, I would have died a violent death. Politicians would have wanted to get rid of me, arranging a reason for me to be imprisoned, and then dying miserably in prison.

But only in this era, in this apocalypse, is this evil permitted, this evil necessary to exist, this evil…

That's Mebius.

……

“Your name is Blanca? I’m Mebius. I need someone to do odd jobs. Come with me.”

"Eh...Eh?!"

……

"Klein, yes, I've got it. From today onwards, you'll be my assistant."

"Okay, okay."

……

"Cangxuan, yes, remember to clock in for work every day."

"Is that all?"

……

"Danzhu... um, never mind."

"Please say something!"

……

"Melutina? An interesting child, I'll take her in."

"Thank you, Dr. Möbius."

...............

I used to think that understanding was unnecessary.

I used to think that companions were unnecessary.

I once thought that hesitation never existed in Möbius's heart.

"Senior, you have a cavity... Shall I take you to the hospital to get it checked out?"

"Doctor, I've told you so many times not to eat so much sugar, it's bad for your health."

"The Doctor has cavities? So fusion warriors get cavities too?"

“Senior Sister Blanca, I don’t think we need to go to the hospital. Dr. Mebius can handle this himself.”

"Hmm... how about I pull it out? The kind without anesthesia."

"Melutina, that's a really lame joke..."

As if he had just woken up from a dream, Möbius regained his thoughts.

She suddenly realized that Blanca was pressing her head down and forcibly prying open her mouth to examine her. Klein put down the documents in his hand and began to seriously prepare the anesthetic he was about to use.

Cangxuan and Danzhu were joking around as usual, while Melutina peeked out from the computer on the other side.

"It's just a cavity, don't make a fuss about it."

Möbius paused for a moment, but didn't find anything unusual.

"Klein, stop looking. I'll go to the dentist myself later."

"Won't it scare people if a PhD student goes to the dentist?"

Klein said with some concern,

"I'll go to the hospital now and borrow all the necessary tools."

"You can lend this out?"

Cang Xuan was taken aback.

"After all, it's Senior Mebius. They'll understand if we say it was borrowed from her."

Blanca shrugged.

.........

When did this happen?

Mebius felt a headache coming on.

"Klein, Klein? Do you have coffee? Bubble wrap will do too."

Mebius liked to drink coffee, eat sweets, and eat instant noodles, but she was always nagged by Klein.

Sometimes she felt that Klein was like her mother who had died young, except that Klein would obediently follow behind her.

Because she was a very timid girl, always afraid of this and that, she tormented herself to the point of exhaustion with work before she could get a moment's respite.

Mebius often tore her clothes, but she didn't know how to mend them, so Klein always helped her.

The white lab coat was a gift from Blanca; she wore it for many years and couldn't bear to throw it away.

Mebius wasn't good at drinking either. After each party, he couldn't act drunk in front of others, so he would go home and sing and dance with Klein.

She really likes children and small animals, so she dragged Klein along to draw small animals on the coordinate axis, and had her feed the kittens on the street, which she then broadcast live to her.

Because Blanca had a daughter, Mebius always carried candy with him, and over time, he developed a habit of eating candy.

Perhaps Mebius simply liked Klein's helpless expression.

Perhaps Mebius wasn't as strong as he thought.

Perhaps Klein was actually much stronger than Mebius himself.

Although Cangxuan and Danzhu were slightly afraid, they chose to believe her.

Because only Klein never doubted her from beginning to end; she was the only one who knew what Möbius was doing and what the consequences would be.

Her only...understanding person.

"Klein, Klein?"

where am I?

Möbius felt her body and mind were in complete chaos; all she could do was try to shout out—

"Klein, Klein, where are you?"

"PhD……"
