However, Mebius did notice that among the hostile and angry eyes directed at him, there were a few that showed approval.
That look was literally saying, "You're my substitute."
It seems that not all people here are stupid.
Mebius's mouth curled up slightly.
The perspective returns to the present.
"This... How come Mebius is with the target? Should we go over there?" A man in black asked his senior who joined the company earlier than him.
As for why they, as members of the Fire Moth, were afraid of Mobius, the reason was very simple. Some idiot from the Fire Moth went to invite Mobius and made a big mistake, offending this genius so much that the entire Fire Moth was affected.
Even a lot of funds were deducted!
Anyone who wants to make peace later, if they are from the Fire Moth, will not be able to enter the World Serpent Gate directly and will be stopped by the guards at the door. Those who are not from the Fire Moth can indeed see Mebius, but after raising this topic, they will be immediately thrown out of the World Serpent Gate by the bodyguards.
It was really thrown out without any face at all. It was even photographed by unscrupulous media and posted on social media, causing social disarray.
As for countermeasures, unfortunately, there are none. The opponent is Mobius! Mobius, the one that the bigwigs beg her to develop all kinds of life-saving drugs!
To offend Mobius for a mere Fire Moth is something that only a fool with water in his brain and who doesn't want to live would do.
"This...we are just going to ask, and we are not dealing with Mebius, so it's okay, right?" The senior said hesitantly.
Chapter 40 The Invitation of the Fire Moth
As the saying goes, if you stick your head out, you'll be hurt. In the end, the two people chasing the fire moth decided to contact Mei.
Mebius was the first to discover the identities of the two men in black. After all, the emblem of a moth bathed in flames on their chest was quite conspicuous.
"Wow, not only is it not moving away from me, it's actually moving towards me?" Mobius narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering if the lesson he taught the Fire Moth was not deep enough.
"Dr. Mobius, we're not here to look for you," said the Fire Moth agent, who had been employed longer, after a pause. Then, he lowered his stance. "Besides, we're just employees. We really haven't gotten involved in your feud with the higher-ups."
"Pfft..." Mebius was amused by this extremely humble behavior. She tapped the corner of her mouth and said, "Okay, I won't make it difficult for you."
Mebius looked at May again: "If you need anything, you can give me a call. Compared to those guys who should have been eliminated long ago, I am still more optimistic about you."
After Mebius finished speaking, he left. At this time, Klein, who was following behind Mebius, took out a business card and handed it to Mei: "Ms. Mei, this is my business card. If you need to contact the doctor, just call the number on it."
Before May could refuse, Klein followed Mebius and left.
After Mobius left, the two Fire Moth agents who had been left out in the cold finally breathed a sigh of relief. They then said to Mei with a friendly expression, "Miss Mei, do you have a moment to talk to me?"
Kevin stood beside Mei with some caution. After all, the two agents in front of him didn't look like good people.
Mei shook her head at Kevin. The conversation between Mebius and the two men just now was enough to prove that these two men at least had legitimate identities, so there was no need to take it too seriously.
"You two, what do you want to talk to me about?" Mei asked.
"Ms. Mei, we are from the Fire Moth." The agent said as he took out his ID from his pocket.
"Fire Moth?" Mei took the ID handed over by the agent, and then looked at the information on it in a daze.
The United Nations is specifically responsible for the Honkai Organization, and judging from the organizational structure above, it is definitely a powerful unit.
This is like the feeling of an ordinary person going to get off work every day and suddenly being called by the mayor.
Besides, what is collapse?
Because the news about Honkai is currently kept at the highest level of confidentiality, it is impossible for ordinary high school students like Mei to know about it.
The two agents looked at each other, and then roughly explained to Mei what Honkai was, which directly refreshed the two high school students' three views.
We thought that apart from some local conflicts, most areas of the world were peaceful and stable, but suddenly a large-scale disaster appeared that could directly destroy a city?
This isn't some comic book plot!
"Ms. Mei, we at the Fire Moth Chaser are very proud of your talent, and therefore invite you to join the Fire Moth Chaser as a technical advisor to support the organization's Honkai-related issues."
"This..." Looking at the Fire Moth agent who bowed to her reluctantly, Mei was at a loss for a moment.
She is just an ordinary girl. As for her future career plan, she is also focused on studying and learning. Finally, she will be hired as an assistant in other laboratories according to the procedures.
How did she suddenly get invited to solve a global disaster? Mei wasn't used to being treated so seriously, after all, she was a marginal figure at school, often called a nerd.
Mei didn't know that she was able to receive such a solemn invitation because of Mebius.
The guy who failed to invite Mebius and instead succeeded in provoking Mebius was directly picked out as an example and a warning to others after his backstage collapse. Now I don't know where he is picking up soap in prison.
"Can I think about it for a while?" Mei asked after thinking it over.
"Of course, Miss Mei, if you are willing or need help, you can call this number and someone will be responsible for receiving you." The agent respectfully handed over a card with contact information printed on it.
"Then we won't bother you anymore. I wish you a happy life." Seeing that Mei's mind was in a mess, the agent said goodbye directly. He knew when to quit, which was considered a successful first impression on the other party. Moreover, the task they received did not require them to invite Mei to join the Fire Moth.
How should I put it, Mei can be considered as a substitute for Mebius.
As long as they can invite Mei, when they ask for funding later, they can confidently say that although they did not invite Mobius, they invited another talented girl Mei, and Mei can completely replace Mobius and become the technical accumulation of the Fire Moth.
"Mei, what are your plans?" After the two agents left, Kevin looked at his girlfriend and asked her about her plans for the future.
"I feel so confused right now..." Mei covered her forehead with her hands.
"It's okay, Mei, no matter what choice you make, I will support you and stay with you!" Kevin held Mei's hand and said solemnly.
"Kevin..." Mei was a little touched.
Not to mention the sweet couple, on the other side, Mebius couldn't wait to make a phone call before he even left the venue.
"Mother."
"Yes, the communication is over."
"Are you still in that tea shop?"
"Okay, mother, please wait a moment, I'll be there right away."
When Mebius hurried to the tea shop and went up to the second floor, he found that there was a stranger sitting opposite his mother.
"Hi! Dr. Mebius! Nice to meet you! My name is Velvi, and I'm a magician." Before Ruan Mei could introduce herself, the girl opposite her spoke.
Passionate and confident.
This was Mebius's first impression of Velvet.
"Mother, who is she?" After looking at Vervi, Mebius immediately looked at Ruan Mei.
"I found a technical consultant for you." Ruan Mei took a sip of tea and replied in a calm tone.
"Technical consultant?" Mebius was stunned.
How did a technical consultant and a magician become connected?
"Wei Wei is a genius no less talented than you, specializing in mechanical engineering."
Mebius frowned and looked at the confident girl again.
She did not doubt her mother's statement, that is, the guy in front of her, dressed in a steampunk style, was truly a genius across the ages.
interesting.
Although the other party is in the field of mechanical engineering, it does not mean that her abilities cannot help his own experiments.
"Mebius, the World Serpent welcomes you to join us." Mebius extended his hand to Velvet.
Two geniuses who led the development of the times had such an ordinary meeting in this ordinary tavern.
Chapter 41: Sky Collapse
"Come to think of it, it seems like Mobius' birthday is coming up soon. What kind of birthday present should I prepare?"
"Oh, oh, buddy, what gift did you prepare... Hey, buddy, you didn't prepare any gift, did you? It used to be the Black Drongo, oh no, now I should call her the Mockingbird, but she used to prepare gifts for you."
"You can't not prepare a gift, Mebius is your daughter, my friend."
Birthday present...?
A very distant word. It seems that since I can remember, I have never received a birthday present or given a birthday present.
If it was given to Mebius, considering the time, it seemed like a good gift indeed.
A few months later.
In the far east, Changkong City.
A very ordinary city, the most common one among thousands of cities, with no special features, but recently it has become a little famous in the Far East - infamous.
A series of vicious incidents occurred in the area centered on Changkong City. Recently, the weather in Changkong City has become particularly bad, with strong winds and heavy rain all day long. The airport has decided to close today and reopen when the weather improves.
Under such circumstances, it is particularly rare for people, especially foreigners, to come to Changkong City.
"You really shouldn't have chosen this time to come to Changkong City. You're not on a business trip, and you'll only get caught in the rain if you rush over," the taxi driver grumbled to the passenger in the back seat. "Why don't you try a different destination? There are many cities in the Far East that are much better than Changkong City."
"Thank you, but no thanks. I have some things to take care of here." The graceful beauty withdrew her gaze from the sky outside the window where dark clouds were covering the city.
"Okay, okay, since you insist, it's better not to go out at night recently. If you encounter any problems, be sure to call the police," the driver steered the car and stopped it on the side of the road. "Okay, we're here."
After paying the money, Ruan Mei got off the car.
In front of me was a large school, with the words "Qianyu Academy" engraved on the gate at the entrance.
Heavy rain suddenly began to fall, and raindrops as big as beans fell down with a crackling sound, playing a noisy and disordered music on the ground.
"It's started." Ruan Mei looked up at the sky full of thunder and lightning, and her soft murmur was drowned out by the rolling thunder.
Also in Changkong City, in a room filled with various high-tech instruments, the warning lights on the wall suddenly lit up, and the flashing scarlet light illuminated everyone's pale faces.
"The concentration of Honkai is rising rapidly! It's rising so fast!" A person sitting in front of the monitor exclaimed, fear and panic hidden in his voice.
The captain of the Fire Moth squad stationed here rushed to the monitor and looked directly at the readings on the display. When the string of terrifying numbers was imprinted in his pupils, the resolute man took a breath.
"Great Collapse!" The shocking voice came out of his mouth, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees.
Great Collapse, this is the level classification of Collapse disasters by the Fire Moth. Different concentrations of Collapse in the air will bring different disasters. The greater the concentration, the more serious the disaster. The Great Collapse is the Collapse that can give birth to the Herrscher!
The Herrscher is an extremely powerful unknown life form. So far, the Fire Moth has never captured any video footage of the Herrscher and can only infer from the phenomenon of collapse that an even more powerful life form has been born.
According to the current records of the Fire Moth, there have only been two major collapses. The first major collapse directly destroyed the city, and although the second collapse did not directly destroy the city, the chain reaction still caused humans to abandon the city.
"Is the communication still usable?" asked the captain.
The man tapped away at the keyboard, then shook his head dejectedly. "No, the concentration of Honkai in the air is too high. It's disrupting communications."
"Damn it." The captain slammed his fist on the table.
Then he turned around and began to assign tasks - someone needed to leave Changkong City to contact the headquarters, someone needed to immediately go to the military base to temporarily command the violent organization, someone needed to cooperate with the administrative team to coordinate the evacuation of citizens, and finally, to fight against the zombies, death squads and Honkai beasts that appeared in the collapse.
As for the Herrschers, there is no need to consider them for the time being. According to experience, the Herrschers seem to be self-destructing, and based on their current combat power, they are not enough to fill the gaps in the Herrschers' teeth.
"Fire Moth, move!"
……
"It's raining again. It has been raining recently. Oh, my date with Mei is ruined again." In Qianyu Academy, Kevin looked at the dark sky outside the window and couldn't help sighing.
It's not suitable to go outside in such bad weather.
At this moment, a shrill scream broke the silence of the campus.
What happened? Kevin was stunned, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, it was still class time. But soon, he lost his mind to study because a cough suddenly came from the mouth of the teacher in his fifties at the podium.
He covered his mouth, and his already hunched back bent even more. His continuous coughing seemed a little scary. The students who had originally been indifferent now began to whisper to each other.
Then, a classmate who was nearby stood up and asked worriedly, "Teacher? Are you okay?"
Some suppressed cries of pain were heard, and the teacher knelt down on the podium. At this time, it was no longer the time to stand by and watch. The students, who had not yet been beaten by society and were simple, kind and enthusiastic, immediately surrounded the teacher and planned to help him up. Little did they know that it was this action that cost them their lives.
"Ah!" One of the fastest moving students screamed, and the original teacher had stood up. However, his condition at this moment was not good at all, because he had opened his mouth, roared, and bit the student's neck.
The remaining students stared with their eyes wide open, standing there in a daze, not knowing what was happening, until a voice of "Hurry up and help" was heard. Then everyone stepped forward and tried to separate the teacher and the students. However, the same coughing sound came from the mouths of several students.
Purple lines quickly spread all over their bodies, and several more monsters lost their minds. They pounced on the people around them and hurt their classmates with their hands, feet, and teeth.
Blood and flesh were scattered like wildfire.
It was not until this moment that everyone woke up from their dream, screaming and trying to escape. However, soon, several people turned into monsters, and several more people were eroded by the purple lines and turned into a pile of ashes.
"!!!!" Kevin had already stood up, looking at the scene in front of him that seemed to only happen in a nightmare. His thoughts were still stagnant due to surprise, but his body's reaction was even faster.
