Was it a lot? Bai thought about it and it seemed a bit too much, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, this was useful.

He fully understood the seven emotions and six desires of the world and could easily see the emotions of others even without deliberately observing them. For example, he understood the moment when Alicia's little thoughts arose, but he just didn't want to point it out.

Pretending to be ignorant and letting these girls express some shameful thoughts was one of the few things he found interesting.

But now that it has been exposed, there is no need to pretend anymore.

"Okay, okay, I'll cooperate with you in whatever you want to do. But let me make it clear first, if I'm not free by then, you're not allowed to mess around."

"Yeah, it's a deal~"

Alicia nodded in satisfaction and then stood up.

"I'm going to invite Mei. Ah Bai, you can continue to rest."

When she reached the door, Alicia paused, glanced back, and raised the corners of her mouth.

......

Mei...

It seems that Alicia doesn't know about Mei's situation yet. If she knew, she wouldn't be angry, but she would definitely have a bad temper.

Bai shook his head, stood up and walked to the window, raised one hand and stretched it out of the window, and a hint of coolness passed through his hand.

"Come to think of it, it seems like Ellie's birthday is coming soon, so I need to prepare a gift."

The autumn wind blew, carrying away the yellow fallen leaves, and the figure by the window disappeared.

......

Hua's residence.

"Father, are you really not going to the party? I heard this is the first time the Fire Moths are holding one."

"I won't get involved in your affairs, young people." Hua's father waved his hand. "Besides, you've been waiting for this day for a long time. If I go, it will disturb you."

"Waiting for this day?" Hua was a little confused.

"Yeah, didn't you go shopping with your friends and buy some clothes? I remember there was a pretty skirt hanging out to dry. I haven't seen you wear it yet. Aren't you waiting for an opportunity like this?"

"No, no..." Hua quickly shook his head, "I only bought it because Carol said I looked good in it. I haven't worn it because I've been training in the army."

"But I haven't seen him during breaks. I'm always at the door."

"That's because, that's because..."

Hua lowered her head slightly, unable to say why.

She is a normal girl. When she sees nice clothes, she naturally wants them, but after buying them, she is reluctant to wear them.

Firstly, I was afraid that the skirt would get too dirty since I was running outside every day. Secondly, I felt that it was not appropriate to wear such a beautiful dress casually. At least I had to wear it on an important occasion.

And this banquet...seems to be an important occasion indeed.

Hua's father looked at Hua with a smile, as if he had noticed something.

"Hua, you're not a kid anymore. I'm just mentioning some things to you. It's up to you to decide how to do it.

At your age, you might still be considered a child in our hometown, but there are many married people in other places, so don’t worry, just go for it if you have any ideas.”

"Father!" Hua suddenly looked up, his face slightly flushed as he glared at his father.

He is such an adult but he is so indecent.

"I'm going back to the house, you continue to bask in the sun!"

After hurriedly saying something that sounded like an angry remark, Hua quickly ran back into the house in his slippers.

Hua's father just sat on a lounge chair on the balcony, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand and taking a sip.

How could he not know what the child he raised is like? He has been here for a few months, and he may know more information than Hua Shao.

Although it was the man named Hen who found him a place to live, he still knew who rescued him, not to mention that Hen also deliberately emphasized some things.

We are not stupid, some things do not need to be explained too clearly.

He also inquired about the team Hua was in now. It was said that when Hua was rescued, he was able to live so well in the team because of a badge, and Hua also said that the badge was given to him by the person who rescued him.

Generally speaking, the two of them were rescued by the man named Bai. Even though he was knocked unconscious and taken away, he was not angry. At most, he was just a little dissatisfied.

Really, why not just talk to him nicely? You had to make him faint.

God knows how he felt when he woke up and heard that his home was gone.

Putting down the teacup, he looked at the sky outside. It was sunny and suitable for playing cards.

Just then, a person of similar age passed by the door and waved to him when he saw him sitting there.

He responded with a smile and stood up.

It was not easy for him to go into the army to inquire about information, but he was unsure about other places.

Chapter 75: Hard on the outside, soft on the inside, and concerned about face

A few days passed in a flash, and the banquet finally began.

There were noisy sounds coming from the huge banquet hall, and the lights emitted from the venues on several floors made the moonlight in the night dim a little.

People were coming and going in the hall. Since it was the first time this event was held, and most people were also attending a party of this scale for the first time, even if they didn't know the etiquette, most people tried their best to behave politely. I just don't know how many people could maintain that after drinking.

As the glasses clinked, figures changed. Alicia, wearing a stunning dress and holding a wine glass in her hand, kept greeting the people around her. At the same time, her eyes were looking around, searching for something without being impolite.

Some people are happy to join the party, while naturally some people don't like such a lively place.

It seemed that his experiment was interrupted, or perhaps because he was forcibly pulled here, Mebius was still wearing a neat white coat and sitting in a corner with a gloomy face.

He casually threw the scalpel in his hand, which was flashing with a cold light, and looked at the people around him, as if he wanted to pick someone to attack.

Klein, who was sitting next to him, had a look of helplessness and worry on his face.

"Doctor, even if you don't like it here, at least don't show it so obviously. It's easy to scare others."

The scalpel fell steadily into his hand, and Mebius snorted coldly.

"It's good that I got scared. It's more peaceful without anyone disturbing me. With a bunch of people making so much noise here, I can't even think quietly."

"Doctor, this is a party, it's normal for it to be lively."

"I didn't say I wanted to come, but Alicia kept pulling me along."

Yes, Doctor, you really didn’t want to come, and it was the kind of person that Alicia couldn’t persuade you to come no matter how many times she tried.

But when the party started, Alicia didn't come to pull you over. Didn't she find an excuse to come here?

Klein wisely kept his mouth shut and didn't say much.

After spending some time with Mebius, she also had a general understanding of Mebius's personality.

A few simple words to describe it are: hard-mouthed, soft-hearted, and face-conscious.

Oh, and it’s quite strict.

If you make any mistakes in the laboratory, you will be reprimanded mercilessly, but after the reprimand, you will be carefully explained what went wrong and what to do.

Apart from research-related questions, he would not hesitate to ask for help. In other aspects, no matter how big the trouble was, he would pretend that nothing was wrong.

She had learned about this from her good friend and senior Blanca. It was said that they had been without funding for a while, and Mebius would rather eat instant noodles every day than change his research direction and do something small to pay back the money.

In the words of Mebius, "What's wrong with instant noodles? Filling your stomach is enough. Excessively delicious food is addictive, and engaging in irrelevant things will affect your original research."

However, according to Blanca, when they had enough funds later, Mebius went to a restaurant to have a good meal.

And it was the same now. She said that the noise here made her unable to calm down, but the food on the table in front of them kept decreasing.

To be clear, she hadn't started eating yet because she was worried that the scalpel in Mebius's hand would suddenly fly away.

"Klein, why aren't you eating? Don't you like it?"

Mebius put the scalpel back in his pocket and looked at her with some confusion.

Klein breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head slightly, and picked up the cutlery.

"No, Doctor, I was just thinking about something."

"Think about it when you get back. These things can't be wasted."

"Okay, Doctor."

Klein nodded and was about to reach out for a piece of food when he suddenly noticed a bottle in front of Mebius.

The red liquid looks very clear, is that... wine?

Noticing Klein's gaze, Mebius glanced at the bottle.

"I heard this brand is pretty good. Do you want some too?"

"...Doctor, drinking too much alcohol can be harmful to your health."

"I know, I don't drink much."

Mebius waved, poured himself a glass, and then pushed the bottle towards Klein.

Klein took the bottle and took a look. The alcohol content was 15%, which was not very high. As long as he didn't drink too much, it should be fine.

Thinking of this, Klein felt a little relieved.

She had heard from Blanca that Mebius's alcohol tolerance was barely average, but his drinking habits were very poor.

He was drunk in the laboratory at that time and forced Blanca to complain to him for a long time. Since then, even if Mebius was angry, Blanca never let her drink outside again.

It would be fine if they just talked about the lab wine, but if something bad was said outside, it would be a big trouble.

She hasn't been here long, so she can only give a reminder about this kind of thing, but she can't directly discipline Mebius like Blanca did.

And the most important thing is that under normal circumstances, if Mebius was drunk, he would just be drunk, and she could take him directly back to the laboratory, but she greeted Mei and Alicia before coming.

If nothing goes wrong, Mei and Alicia should come here to chat later. What if Mebius gets drunk by then...

She couldn't imagine what the scene would be like.

Looking at the unfamiliar crowd at the banquet, Klein poured himself a glass and took a sip.

......

Also in the corner, a white-haired girl sat alone at a table with only a few side dishes in front of her and several bottles of wine.

Moreover, less than half an hour after the party started, several bottles were already empty.

The lively scene before her did not make her feel very happy, but only sad.

She was a survivor of the third collapse. She was rescued by the Fire Moth while fleeing and joined the Fire Moth.

But one of her good friends disappeared without a trace.

I sent messages, made phone calls, and asked other people to help look for him, but to this day there is still no news.

If nothing unexpected happened, her friend would most likely have passed away. After all, her friend was not in good health like her, and it was almost a fantasy for her to survive such a disaster.

In fact, if the professional department of the Fire Moth could be asked to search, they might be able to find some information. It's a pity that she is just a new recruit and does not have the ability. She even almost got herself into trouble in the previous operation.

Thinking of the scene at that time, the white-haired girl couldn't help but feel dazed.

"If you haven't heard of my name, it just means you're not at that level."

If he's willing to help, he should be able to find out some information.

The girl shook her head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

It is good enough that others are willing to save you. There is no reason to ask others for help. People at that level are probably busy with work all the time and may not have time to attend large gatherings like this.

The girl picked up the bottle of wine beside her and was about to pour herself another glass, but a figure came to the opposite side of her.

Chapter 76: Dark History Collection Plan

The action of pouring the wine paused slightly, and the girl raised her head to look at the sudden guest opposite her.

"It's you?" There was some surprise in the girl's eyes. The person she was talking about just now actually came.

"Huh? What's wrong? It's normal for me to come and see such a big banquet, right?" Bai Zi sat down opposite him, picked up a bottle of wine and poured himself a glass.

"...It's nothing, just be as you please."

"But you don't look like you're willing to let me do whatever I want."
