Looking at Cang Xuan who was getting more and more excited, Beichen Mei could only nod her head blankly. Even the very unremarkable Dan Zhu couldn't help but sigh and whispered in the latter's ear.

"I'm sorry, my sister is a loyal Bal. Although Mr. Bal doesn't have a very good reputation in the outside world, he takes good care of us subordinates, and..."

Danzhu paused for a moment before continuing.

"The salary he offered was much higher than it is now."

"This is why Cang Xuan-chan supports Bal so much!"

Mei Beichen suddenly realized that if Danzhu was an out-and-out 2D otaku, then Cangxuan's character could be summarized in the word "money-obsessed".

When the three were chatting happily, Natasha, with a serious expression, walked over with regular footsteps, interrupting their chat.

She looked at the three people who were slacking off at work and frowned slightly, but still told the most important thing first.

"Tomorrow, the Prime Minister of District Three will come here to check the progress of the research on Pandora's Box. All relevant information will be sorted out by tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow morning?"

Mei Beichen widened her eyes slightly. You have to know that this research institute has been studying Pandora's Box for more than 10 years, and the workload of sorting out the mountains of information can be seen.

"How is this possible? That's too much!"

In response to the three people's complaints, Natasha just pushed her glasses calmly.

"With your work efficiency, you can finish it if you work overnight. Let's start as soon as possible."

Leaving behind the unquestionable ultimatum, Natasha turned and left, her steps still as regular and orderly as when she came.

Looking at her meticulous appearance, Beichen Mei curled her lips.

"Really? Is she a robot?"]

Dragon Lord: The sudden overtime work has caused my blood pressure to rise!

Bad Nun: Working overtime all night is scary just thinking about it.

Reliable Adult Male: So I said, labor is shit!

Bakugo Kojima: I never thought that in another world, I would one day be able to oppress workers.

[Just when our poor rabbit Mei was working overtime helplessly, in the Nashita restaurant, Kiana looked at Seele who was drinking canned coffee and asked the question in her heart.

"Hey, I actually wanted to ask you this before. Every time Mei and I are about to quarrel, do you deliberately let the purification device complete the bottle at that time?"

It might be a coincidence once or twice, but if it happens too often, even a fool like Kiana can sense that something is wrong.

In response, Xier just rolled her eyes and said proudly.

"It's really just a coincidence. Who cares about your quarrel?"

Perhaps due to the tacit understanding between tsunderes, Kiana immediately understood what the other party meant, and couldn't help but wipe her nose at the kindness. Seele tapped the golden bracelet on her hand and talked about another topic.

"You know what? I didn't have a normal student life. It was about 7 years. During a long period of time, I didn't know why I was in a coma for 7 years. When I woke up, I was already in Faust's captivity. I was wearing this bracelet and had the ability to purify the bottle. They lied to me and said that the purified bottle would make a significant contribution to science."

Kiana's eyes turned to Seele's bracelet because of Seele's action, and then she realized that this thing was the real reason why Seele could purify the bottle.

"So, for me who was in a daze at that time, purifying bottles was the only meaning of my existence. Even though it was very hard and tiring, and I wanted to sleep for a week to purify a bottle, all I could do was to continue purifying the bottles, hoping that my efforts could play a small role for others."

Xier closed her eyes and recalled the dark past, a bitter smile appearing on the corners of her mouth.

"But later I accidentally found out that my efforts would not help others. In the end, those bottles were just weapons used by Faust to hurt others. When I knew all this, I felt very desperate. I even went on a hunger strike and tried to commit suicide. It was not until the store manager risked his life to save me that the guilt always lingered in my heart..."

"How can this be your fault? This is the fault of those scum who used this technology to destroy and kill!"

Seeing Xier's sad expression, Kiana hurriedly spoke to comfort her, but her words caused Xier to cover her mouth and laugh.

"Huhu, aren't your words exactly the same as Mei's? You have a really good relationship."

"what!"

Kiana then realized that during the previous quarrel, Mei Beichen had indeed said something similar. She suddenly understood the other party's mood when she said this, but the white ball was still very stubborn.

"The relationship is not good! Humph, maybe this guy is the real murderer!"

"You obviously don't think so anymore, do you?"

"Well!"

Kiana, whose thoughts were exposed, let out a cry of grief, and Seele laughed and shook her head.

"I was saved by Mei's philosophy."

Xier raised her eyes like Beichen Meiyi and imitated her seriously.

——Whether it is a scientific invention or the power of a purification bottle, these things are not right or wrong. Xier, you did not create a weapon to hurt others, but a force of justice that allows me to protect others. So thank you, Xier, for allowing me to fight for others.

"This is what Mei said to me at the time. I think the reason why Mei spoke up for the Knight System invented by Barr was to stick to what she said. After all, this is not only her philosophy, but also the spiritual pillar that supports my willingness to continue purifying the bottle."

"Although Mei looks like she has no interest in anything other than scientific research, she is actually more delicate than you and I think."

"..."

Kiana fell silent, while Seele glanced at the mechanical dragon sleeping in the nest.

"That little dragon was made by Mei especially for you. She hopes it can be your landmark."

——My mission is not only to help Kiana clear her name, but also to guide her onto the right path.

"This is what she thought she, the one who killed Miss Jizi, could do to atone for your sins."

"Atonement?"

Kiana's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.

"What does this have to do with her? That guy didn't do anything wrong, did he?"

"After all, Mei is just such a hero with an excessive sense of self-awareness."

Xier stood up and looked at the sky outside the store.

"Because she's a hero, she took all the responsibility on herself. She believed in the power of science more than anyone else, so she didn't choose to blame Baal blindly, but directed her efforts in the right direction, just like she did for everyone."

"..."

Kiana did not reply, but her expression told the audience that she agreed with Mei Beichen's point of view. 】

Ural Silver Wolf: It turns out that Xier is an angel wherever she goes.

Please, another me: Sister Bronya, the amazing one is Seele in the video, but Seele still has a lot of shortcomings.

Type Moon Bean Dad: Instead of blindly denying them, you choose to guide them to the right path? Beichen Meiyi's mentality as a scientist and scholar is very interesting.

Hemer: Indeed, this may be the direction we should pursue.

[The next day, the Prime Ministers of the three districts arrived as scheduled.

Mei Beichen, who had to work all night to complete the targets assigned by her superiors, was lying listlessly on the sofa in the employee lounge, with her ahoge completely shriveled.

Although staying up all night is a common occurrence for Mei Beichen, that is only when she is doing something she is interested in. Obviously, helping the research institute organize data is not one of them.

However, just when she was thinking about whether to follow the example of a senior with blue hair and twin ponytails and skip work, she suddenly noticed a figure sneaking towards the interior of the institute with a spray device on his back.

"Cang Xuan-chan?"

Beichen Meiyi recognized the other person at a glance as Cang Xuan, who was working overtime with her last night. The other party clearly claimed that he had gone home to catch up on sleep early this morning. How could he appear here and behave so abnormally?

Out of curiosity, Beichen Mei followed him, and then unexpectedly discovered that the other party had used hypnotic gas to knock out many colleagues who came to hand over the shift, and was about to reach out to touch the operating table of the institute's defense system.

"What are you doing, Cang Xuan?"

When his name was suddenly called, Cang Xuan paused, turned his head and glanced at Beichen Meiyi indifferently, then took out a blank bottle without hesitation.

"!?"

"Now is the time for revolution!"

Under Beichen Mei's astonished gaze, the colleague who had gotten along very well with her before opened the bottle cap and turned into the Flying Swaggerer whom she had defeated once before.

After turning into a slugger, Cang Xuan naturally lost his mind and took a leap towards Beichen Meiyi, trying to kill the enemy in front of him with a headbutt.

Fortunately, Beichen Mei was quick-witted and quickly transformed into the diamond form of the gorilla. She used her hard left half of her body to defend against the impact, but was knocked away by the flying Smasher, who smashed the wall.

When Beichen Mei swung her big fist and knocked him down, the two had already arrived at a mountain quite far away from the research institute.

"I didn't expect Cang Xuan to be Faust's spy. Forget it, I'll defeat her first. This is a good opportunity to try out my newly found Best Match!"

Putting aside the doubts in her mind for the time being, Mei Beichen quickly took out the lion bottle and the vacuum cleaner bottle, completing the transformation into a new form.

"Lion! Soujiki! Best Match! Are you ready? Mane Whirlwind! LionCleaner! Yeah!"

The appearance of the new form with blue on the left and gold on the right was as powerful as Mei Beichen had expected. For the flying slugger, the vacuum cleaner bottle that could generate huge attraction was simply a natural enemy.

Every time the Smasher flew into the sky, he would be sucked up by Beichen Mei and unable to move freely. Coupled with the long-range attack ability of the Lion Bottle that can release the energy of the golden lion head, the Smasher did not last long before being defeated by Beichen Mei with her ultimate move.

"Hoohoo...where is this?"

After extracting the ingredients, Cang Xuan regained consciousness and looked around in a daze, until he finally reacted when he saw Chuangqi standing in front of him.

"It seems that my mission is accomplished..."

"mission?"

Beichen Mei suddenly felt something was wrong, while Cang Xuan said with a smile.

"I am just a pawn to lure you away. My companions are still inside the laboratory!"

As if to verify Cang Xuan's words, the camera returned to the research institute. Looking at the three prime ministers who used three authority cards to open the security device of Pandora's Box in the surveillance video, Danzhu pressed the ready Enter key with a weird smile.

The entire institute's system was instantly paralyzed, and the three leaders were locked in the room where Pandora's Box was stored.

At the same time, Ye Ba, who was hiding in the dark and observing all this, also issued an order, and Xue Qian led the defenders to attack the research institute.

"Tune the tiger away from the mountain!"

Mei Beichen finally reacted.

Feeling the other party's surprise, Cang Xuan showed an intoxicated smile and took out the bottle he had used before and pointed it at himself again.

"Stop! You just got defeated, your body cannot be injected with nebula gas a second time..."

"Let me tell you one last thing."

Cang Xuan was not frightened by Beichen Mei's words, rather, she already had no regrets.

"Bar, he's still alive!"
