Collapse Immortal

"Mebius is my name."

The baby girl suddenly looked at Fang Ning and said.

Fang Ning was not surprised to see the newborn baby speak. Mebius and another similar name were given to them by their mother. Both were female names because the initial examination results showed that they were both female.

However, the babies born were a boy and a girl. At that time, everyone in the ward was so focused on the critically ill mother that they didn't react.

Fang Ning didn't plan to use another name, so she didn't argue with the baby girl and just agreed to it.

Seeing this, Mebius was quite happy and reached out to touch it out of habit.

Since they were in the same cradle, Fang Ning had no choice but to say nothing.

As for saving people, he had no regrets. It exhausted his soul, and the only problem it brought was that the day he left this family might be delayed.

Chapter 4 Childhood

For infants and young children, the time they can move around in a day is extremely limited, and their weak bodies also restrict their movements. Therefore, generally speaking, time tends to be faster.

However, this does not include Mebius and Fang Ning.

Mebius could speak as soon as he was born and also had complete thinking. In addition, he had a doctoral mother, so he began to study eagerly just a few days after he was born.

As for her physiological needs, they were all thanks to her father, a well-known pharmacist. With his careful care, even though Mebius was very young, she was able to devote a lot of energy to her studies.

Fang Ning's situation was different, because he found that his reversal of yin and yang was not thorough enough. As he developed, something was constantly trying to turn him back into a female.

It is obvious that the internal organs and bones are developed according to male standards, but problems will arise if you relax even a little.

Ever since he woke up last time and found that his little Gou Gou had turned into a useless piece of meat, Fang Ning didn't dare to sleep anymore. He was afraid that he might not be able to recover next time, so he started burning the soul that had just recovered to plan his own development.

Although this will lead to slower development, it is better than becoming a freak that is neither male nor female.

As for her relationship with her parents, all she could say was that up to now, Fang Ning hadn't spoken a word, wasn't crying or making a fuss, and while their attention was drawn to Mebius, she tried to reduce her presence as much as possible.

After all, he will leave sooner or later. Instead of being close to him, he should just think about how to erase the memory of his family.

Although he is five hundred years old, Fang Ning is only illiterate compared to other powerful people who have overcome the tribulation, or even worse than an illiterate person.

After all, it was a quick learning. He only focused on practicing martial arts every day and didn't even know a few Taoist techniques.

At present, apart from the thousand-year sword technique that Fang Ning learned without a teacher when he was refining his own spiritual sword and integrating his destiny, he only knows the magic of beheading demons, some basic knowledge of refining weapons, the Taoist method of seizing destiny, and... the evil method of refining people.

If all the other great men who have transcended the tribulation can be considered doctors of all subjects, then Fang Ning is probably at the level of a barbarian who just ran out of the woods.

Apart from being able to fight, he basically can't do anything else.

The success of reincarnation depends on the soul which seems to be able to recover infinitely. As for the method, it is entirely based on brute force and imagination. Whether it can be successful depends entirely on luck.

Fortunately, he was lucky.

In the ward, Fang Ning lay in her little cradle, silently burning her soul to shape her body. Beside her, her mother, a doctor, was leaning against the head of the bed, holding Mebius in her arms, reading a book with her.

The mother did not find it strange that her daughter could speak clearly shortly after she was born. Instead, she felt it was natural.

If you give birth to something yourself, then of course it is not ordinary!

Her daughter is the best!

Compared to her daughter's activeness, she was more worried about her son's silence. After all, from a genetic point of view, he should be "she".

Now he is expressing male characteristics, which is completely contrary to his own genes. This physiological abnormality is usually called a "disease."

Judging from the current situation, her son was indeed too quiet. He hadn't made any movement for a long time and didn't look like a baby at all. If it weren't for little Mebius who was always thinking about him, she would probably have forgotten to even feed him.

But the physical examination showed that he was very healthy, or rather too healthy. According to the examination report, if nothing unexpected happened, he could even stand up now, maybe even run. He was only one week old!

But even though his son has such a physical condition, he is so quiet. Obviously, he is "sick".

It couldn't be that she was unwilling to move. Even she knew that it was impossible for every child she gave birth to be like little Mebius.

Looking at the cradle beside the bed, the woman with short light green hair sighed softly. She knew very well that she didn't have much time left. If she wanted to cure her son's illness, she could only rely on this smart daughter.

"Take good care of your brother, Mebius."

"Well, I will."

Mebius just nodded, still staring at the book intently. She actually knew very well that her brother just didn't want to move. He was just like her and couldn't be treated as a child.

After all, he would hide when his groin was touched!

How can a normal baby have gender awareness?

These physiological knowledge were all learned by her in the past few days. It seemed that her mother picked them out on purpose, probably hoping that she could recognize her own differences and get along better with others in the future.

But Mebius was still a little baby after all, and she felt a little sleepy after reading for a while. After yawning, the doctor's mother put away the book, picked her up and gently put her back into the cradle where someone was lying pretending to sleep.

"..."

Feeling his little quilt being lifted, Fang Ning'er didn't open his eyes, because he knew what would happen next. After all, they were just babies, so as long as she didn't touch around, it didn't matter if he held her.

Moreover, according to his calculations, in just one year, when they are one year old, they will basically be able to protect themselves. By then, he can find a way to erase their memories and enjoy this era.

Finding his hometown is his goal, but there are still many things he wants to do before achieving it.

When the doctor was one year old, his mother was dying. Because Mebius looked too sad, Fang Ning used her own soul to help him live for another two years. At the same time, the method of clearing his memory had not yet been figured out.

Two years later, Fang Ning was three years old, but he still hadn't figured out the Tao. However, he helped the doctor's mother for another three years, which was his limit, and Mebius seemed to have noticed something.

Three years later, when Fang Ning was six years old, the doctor's mother died of illness. Even if he burned the souls accumulated over the years, he was powerless to save her. However, Mebius was not sad, at least on the surface, and she discovered Fang Ning's secret.

Another two years passed, and the eight-year-old Fang Ning gave up thinking about the method of erasing her memory and decided to find an opportunity to run away from home, but was discovered by Mebius and failed. In the same year, her pharmacist father fell ill and fell ill.

In front of the bed in the clinic, Fang Ning looked at the tall man lying on it with some confusion on his face, because he felt the breath of chaotic laws.

This doesn't seem to be an ordinary disease.

At the head of the bed, a young girl with long light green hair was pulling at the man's eyelids. After examining him for a long time with familiarity, she spoke:

"Hmm, it looks like the legendary Moon-*-~first++ outbreak of Honkai disease. Without professional equipment, I'm not sure."

"Honkai disease? What is that?"

"It would be very troublesome to explain it in detail. If you want to hear it, I can tell you when we get back to your room tonight, but for now, it's enough for you to know that this is a terminal illness."

"Terminal illness..."

In fact, Fang Ning was not surprised, because according to his fortune, this man was about to get into trouble.

However, it should last for a few years.

Walking to the bedside, Fang Ning placed her hand on the man's forehead, silently burning his soul, and withdrew her hand after a moment.

"How about it?"

A teasing, childish voice was heard, and Fang Ning turned around to see Mebius looking at him with a half-smile. He was clearly an eight-year-old child, but his expression was that of an adult, inexplicably erotic.

"It's hard to say. Compared to my mother's normal life, aging, illness and death, his illness is very abnormal. There's something deeper going on. I'm afraid I can't delay it as long as I did before."

"and……"

Fang Ning paused for a moment, her expression becoming serious, which made Mebius look a little more serious as well.

"My growth spurt is about to begin."

"???"

"Please find me a wheelchair. I need to reduce my exercise."

Chapter 5: Honkai Disease

Honkai disease is the only disease that has not been conquered in this era. Even cancer cannot be considered a terminal illness in this era.

Before the first case of Honkai disease appeared, people proudly claimed to have conquered all diseases in the world. Because of this disease, the edifice of human medicine was once again shrouded in a thick cloud.

As a brand new disease, the medical community has not yet figured out the pathogenesis of the disease, and it is also unknown whether it is contagious. The greatest progress has been to alleviate the patient's pain through drugs with great side effects.

In the early stages of infection with Honkai disease, extremely tiny purple lines will appear in the whites of the patient's eyes. At this stage, the patient will have frequent nightmares, leading to mental weakness, and will need to take special sleeping pills to fall asleep peacefully.

As the disease progresses, the dosage of the medication will become larger and larger. In the middle stage, purple lines will appear on the limbs. At this stage, the patient will feel real pain. Sharp particles similar to silicon crystals will be produced in their bodies, and breathing will be accompanied by severe pain.

Coupled with frequent nightmares, patients in the middle stage generally have complications similar to mania, with mood swings and extreme aggressiveness.

As for the later stages, only a very small number of people can survive this stage, because generally in the middle and late stages, patients will have hallucinations, delirium, and extremely strong suicidal tendencies.

Even the doctor's mother couldn't find out what symptoms the patients in the later stages would have. It seemed that the information was completely blocked by some organization.

"…That's all I know."

In the cozy room, Mebius turned over and hugged the green-haired child beside him, saying softly:

"So, instead of making your father suffer in the future, it's better to let him pass away peacefully now, what do you think, Prieber?"

"...You are truly filial. Also, what is Preb's name?"

"It's because your mother gave you a name with so many syllables that it's too difficult to pronounce, so your name will be Prieber from now on."

The frivolous tone made Fang Ning turn his head and look to the side. The little girl was looking at him with great interest, but her eyes didn't look like she was looking at anyone.

"You...are you treating me like a pet?"

"How is it possible, but..."

Mobius raised his hand and touched the cute face that looked exactly like his own. He stared into the eyes that seemed forever lazy and said slowly and firmly:

"You belong to me, so the name goes to you, even if it's mom."

"..."

So the two of them looked at each other for a long time, and no one looked away. Although the atmosphere was good, nothing happened. Nothing could happen at this age.

In the end, the eight-year-old girl with green hair fell asleep with a slightly unwilling expression, while the five-hundred-year-old child with the same hair color won the staring game.

If Mebius was not still a child and could not stay up all night, this staring contest would probably have lasted until dawn.

Fang Ning stared at Mebius's sleeping face for a long time before shifting her gaze to her right ear, where she wore a golden earring in the shape of four ovals drawn in one stroke, with no beginning and no end.

This was his mother's relic. Since her death, Mebius has been wearing it every day. Except for taking a bath, he would ask Fang Ning to help take it off, and he basically never takes it off.

It can be seen that Mebius has a deep affection for his mother.

Fang Ning also has a pair of earrings like this, but they are only worn by a young girl when she goes out.

These earrings look heavy, but they are actually very light. Although they are solid, they seem to be made of special materials. Even if they are hung on the ears of an eight-year-old child, they will not have any bad effects on the body.

Taking her eyes off the earrings, Fang Ning looked at the sleeping face again. It seemed that she had a good dream, with the corners of her mouth curved upwards.

Fang Ning was not surprised by Mebius's attitude not long ago. She had an unusual interest in herself since she was born, and was so obsessed with touching that it had become a kind of fetish.

If it weren't for age, some of these behaviors could even reach the level of perversion.

However, based on his understanding of Mebius, as a character who looks like a child but actually has the cognition of an adult, he is actually just relying on his young age to act recklessly now. After he grows up, he will surely restrain himself a lot.

…Well, I guess so.

However, Fang Ning herself was indifferent to this kind of thing. She would run away from home in the future anyway and would definitely not live to adulthood.

According to his calculations, even if he burned his soul to prolong his life, his father, the pharmacist, could only last two years at most.

In other words, he will run away from home when he is ten years old at the latest!

As for why he had to run away from home, it was because this was the plan that Fang Ning had conceived from the beginning, but it took him a very long time. If he could not complete his plan, he would always feel unwilling to run away from home.

Therefore, before Fang Ning turned ten, in addition to extending her father's life as a pharmacist, she also planned to persuade Mebius to agree to her running away from home.

"It should work."

……

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, just give up on this idea."

Just after his father's funeral, Mebius once again directly rejected Fang Ning's request to run away from home and pushed him home.

Compared to two years ago, Mebius has obviously matured a lot. In comparison, Fang Ning, who is sitting in a wheelchair, seems to have not changed much. She now looks more like a pair of sisters than twins.

Originally, Fang Ning's physical development required the constant burning of souls for planning. In the past two years, she had to continue burning souls to prolong her father's life so that he could leave peacefully. The soul supply was insufficient to meet the demand, so she had to completely suspend her development.

To this end, he successfully used a wheelchair and completely got rid of most sports. Moreover, some time ago, in order to make his father live like a normal person in his last days, which resulted in a lot of souls being burned, Mebius also fed him for a period of time.

"But, my plan..."

"Let it fail. Every plan has its time to fail."

At this moment, Mebius suddenly noticed several men in black suits standing in front of his house, stopped and took a deep breath.

"I've changed my mind, Prib. You'll leave tomorrow."

Fang Ning looked up and noticed those people.
