The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

The tone was so self-righteous, without any intention of covering up or evading, that everyone present, including Alicia, was stunned for a moment. They couldn't help but start to suspect that the problem was not with Mobius but with themselves.

No, no, no, how is that possible?

There must be something seriously wrong with this Mobius.

The Herrscher of Thunder was the first to come to her senses. She looked coldly at the smiling Mobius. Her voice, which was usually stern and sharp, was now incredibly calm. "So you want to tell us that when we were all facing Kevin as if we were facing a great enemy, you did nothing but secretly ran to the captain's side by yourself?"

Hearing the calm questioning from his other self, Dawn Strike nodded repeatedly, his eyes as gentle as water filled with dissatisfaction and grievance.

"Don't slander me, you little white mouse with horns on your head." The corner of Mebius' mouth raised calmly with a hint of teasing and pleasure.

She turned her face to the side and looked directly at the Herrscher of Thunder's imposing gaze. Her seductive vertical pupils were filled with absolute self-righteousness: "Didn't I make it clear from the beginning? You are responsible for going to the bottom of the Quantum Sea and trying to persuade Kevin to stop the Stigmata Project in a peaceful way, while I, a non-combatant, will enter the captain's world and seize control of the World Serpent to ensure that when Kevin insists on his own way, he will also lose the basic ability to implement the Stigmata Project... This plan should be approved by everyone, right?"

"And I did reach the real world, and I became the so-called 'Lord' of the World Serpent quite successfully, didn't I?" Mobius smiled, "And after I completed what I needed to do... you are not the captain, what qualifications do you have to interfere with my personal freedom of movement?"

After Mebius finished speaking, the already weird atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became even weirder.

Faced with Mobius's rebuttal, the Herrscher of Thunder, who was originally full of vigor, was speechless.

Indeed, in terms of hierarchy, all members of the Hyperion are of equal level. Although Theresa [Twilight Knight], as the acting captain, has command authority over other members to a certain extent in the absence of the captain, this command authority is not absolute, let alone mandatory.

Because even Twilight Knight himself knew that in terms of judgment and command ability, there were many people on the Hyperion who were better than him. Or it should be said that except for a few people, such as Rosalia and Lilia, all the members on the Hyperion were at least captain-level figures in the real world.

Because of this, in certain situations, as long as she is sure that her judgment is correct, she can take the next step based on her judgment.

It is also for this reason that, according to the rules and regulations of the Hyperion, after completing her mission, Mebius chose to go find the captain alone. This was her personal free choice, and the other Valkyries had no right to question her.

But is the situation in Mebius a problem of rules and regulations? Not long after, the Valkyries in the conference room suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Guanxing, with a rather grim expression on her face, quietly moved her mouth closer to the side. She lowered her voice and whispered something into Theresa's ear, who was sitting next to her, in a voice that no one else could hear.

After hearing the stargazing instructions, Theresa, the acting captain, nodded calmly and stood up first, trying to look down at Mobius' face to create psychological pressure.

But because of her height, such an action didn't seem to have much effect, so she could only keep a straight face as much as possible and ask in a calm tone: "It's okay for you to go find the captain. Originally, everyone would try every means to come to the captain's world, because only when we get here can we personally protect the captain's safety."

"But why did you return to the Hyperion shortly after you found the captain?" Theresa tilted her face and squinted her eyes. She stared at Mebius, whose expression suddenly froze because of her words, with suspicion. She said, "Did you encounter any danger in the world where the captain was, so that you needed to use your ability as a crew member? If you were in danger, why didn't you report it immediately?"

“What—!?” After hearing Theresa’s words, the Herrscher of Fire could no longer sit still. She quickly stood up and asked anxiously, “Aunt, are you saying that the captain might be in danger?”

"No, the captain is most likely not in danger." Theresa said quietly, "Although each member of the Hyperion has his own stance, since everyone is standing here, it means that the captain recognizes everyone's character, and everyone has already recognized their identity as a crew member... In other words, everyone present should have established a two-way trust relationship with the captain. Analyzing from this perspective, I believe that if the captain really encounters a dangerous situation that is difficult to deal with, everyone here will choose to stand by his side without hesitation, rather than fleeing back to the Hyperion alone."

Hearing Theresa's bland analysis, a trace of uneasy cold sweat seeped out of Mebius' forehead.

“Even if there really was a special situation and they chose to return to the Hyperion first, they should have issued an emergency request for help to other members immediately, instead of hiding the truth like Mebius did until now.” Theresa looked at Mebius’s increasing sweat with an inexplicable look and said in a strange tone, “So, when you were with the captain, what on earth did you do that forced you to use your authority as a crew member to teleport yourself back to the Hyperion?”

"Hmph... Hmph!" Mobius sat up straight and stammered twice in a voice that anyone could hear was full of guilt. "Why do you care whether I come back to Hyperion or not? Since I am still a crew member here, I am of course free to come back here at any time. This matter should have nothing to do with you."

"Oh? Really?" After giving instructions to Theresa, Guanxing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly let out a meaningful laugh.

After the laughter died down, Guan Xing turned his gaze to Alicia who was lost in thought without any warning, and quickly asked a question without giving her any time to react: "Ms. Alicia, the runner-up of the Thirteen Heroes, I have a small question. I wonder if you can answer it?"

"Hmm? Ah——!" Alicia came back to her senses when her name was called. She nodded readily and answered Guanxing's question with a bright smile: "Of course! The lovely fairy lady is always happy to answer questions raised by equally lovely girls, so, what do you want to ask?"

Guanxing took a long, deep breath, and forced herself to ignore Alicia's rather intimate tone as much as possible. She raised her feather fan to cover her face and made her voice as calm as possible: "Ms. Alicia, you and Mobius are both Thirteen Heroes. You should know why her body suddenly grew."

"Hmm - this question involves Mobius's personal privacy." Alicia raised a white finger with some embarrassment and poked the smooth skin on her cheek. "Although I believe that everyone is a kind girl, but this kind of thing involving personal privacy... Mobius, are you willing to share it with everyone?"

"Of course I wouldn't agree to that!" Mobius, who had already felt something was wrong when she asked the question, finally couldn't sit still anymore. She slapped her hands on the handle of the chair, stood up with a bang, and said through gritted teeth: "Alicia, if you dare to tell them about my ability, then-"

"Ms. Mobius, please understand that this is also to ensure the captain's personal safety." Guanxing interrupted Mobius mercilessly, "Although I believe that you absolutely have no intention of harming the captain, after meeting the captain, your body has grown to its current state overnight. Therefore, we can only speculate that the changes that have taken place in you must be directly related to the captain."

“…” Mebius’ face turned pale, but he was left speechless by what Guanxing said.

"And since the changes in you are directly related to the captain, and you chose to use your ability as a crew member to return to the Hyperion when you were with the captain, it means that it was not something else that made you feel dangerous, but the captain himself." Guanxing said righteously, "What did the captain do to you that made you feel dangerous? Why did your body seem to have grown for several years overnight? Although everyone has their own privacy, when it comes to matters concerning the captain, no one is allowed to hide the slightest bit."

"I almost caused a disaster because I concealed the captain's decision. It was also because of my mistake that the Hyperion established this new rule, which was accepted and recognized by everyone. So... Miss Alicia." Halfway through speaking, Guanxing shifted his gaze to Alicia again, "Please don't hide it from us and tell us about Mobius's ability."

Alicia thought for a moment, clasped her hands together and smiled awkwardly at Mobius, whose expression was becoming increasingly ugly: "Sorry, Mobius, I think what Guanxing said is right, so——"

"The following is an urgent announcement from the captain."

Everyone in the conference room was stunned when they heard the words coming from the radio.

Everyone closed their mouths at the same time, then looked up, staring blankly in the direction of the sound, waiting silently for the next instruction.

"In order to further regulate the order of the Hyperion and create a harmonious and safe atmosphere on board, the captain has decided that from now on, all members of the Hyperion -"

"——Captain Reep is forbidden, for this notice."

"Notification completed."

Chapter 4: Mebius is implicated (k)

Quiet, terrifyingly quiet.

After the Hyperion's broadcast ended, silence quickly permeated the air in the conference room.

At this moment, not only the voices, but even the breathing and heartbeats seemed to be frightened and fell into a brief but absolute stagnation.

next moment--

“Wha-wha-wha-what?!” Along with the chaotic and panicked shouting of the Herrscher of Fire, the entire conference room was suddenly in an uproar, as if a switch had been turned on. “Just now, what did the captain just announce???”

But no one responded to her words. Apart from the Herrscher of the Fire Flame whose emotions and thoughts were completely dominated by panic and confusion and who therefore did not understand the situation, all the other Valkyries who thought they understood the situation fixed their cold gazes, which were filled with strong anger and murderous intent, in the direction of Mebius.

However, contrary to everyone's expectations, when they turned their gaze to Mebius, what they saw was an expression that was just as mixed with murderous intent and anger as theirs.

Mebius suddenly stood up with his tall and slender body, and his high heels made a crack on the ground. His gorgeous snake pupils shrank into a thin line in the blink of an eye due to extreme anger, and he made a sound of gnashing teeth: "Who is it! Who dares to give my little white mouse to——!!"

Then everyone reacted all at once.

Yes, it has been nearly twelve hours since Mobius returned to the Hyperion. If Mobius did that kind of thing to the captain, why did the captain only issue this statement on the Hyperion now?

This question, like a basin of ice-cold water, immediately extinguished the anger of the Valkyries in the conference room.

But before the people in the conference room could calm down completely, Mebius' next words made everyone stunned again.

"It's obvious that I couldn't successfully Rape the guinea pig! I didn't even maintain the initiative in the process of creating life!" In the meeting room where a pin drop could be heard, Mobius's impotent and furious voice echoed in everyone's ears, "Who is that person! Who dared to -!"

Halfway through his speech, Mebius's roar stopped abruptly after he realized what he had said unintentionally.

"Just now... you said it, right?" Guanxing's lifeless and calm voice echoed softly in Mebius' ears, "You said that you and the captain performed the so-called 'creation of life'. Did I hear it correctly?"

After Guanxing's dead voice that didn't sound like a living person fell, without even turning his head to look at the situation around him, Mobius could easily feel that countless gazes that were almost like blades were completely locked on his position.

Gu——She swallowed her saliva, and her white coat and short black stockings were quickly soaked with cold sweat. Her scalp was numb, and she anxiously tried to save her own safety: "Wait, wait, wait! Is this the time to worry about my business?! I admit that I wanted to do that kind of thing with the captain, and I did take practical actions for it, but from the results, it is obvious that I was the one who got hurt! Isn't it the captain's safety that you should be worried about now?!"

"So—" The expression of the Herrscher of Firefire was as dull as a puppet, making people wonder if she would shout out without any warning in the next second—this world has never been beautiful! "What you said to me before, 'I have already got what I wanted', is this what you are referring to?"

"..." Mobius slapped her forehead. She had never thought in the past that one day she would hate herself so much for her bad habit of talking nonsense. She endured the extremely strict and angry gazes of the Herrscher of Fire and everyone else, racking her brains to think of the possibility of breaking the deadlock.

Finally, she looked with great humiliation at the only person present who had a slight chance of helping her out, Alicia, and took a deep breath of the heavy air: "That..."

"I'm sorry, Mobius." But before she could ask for help, Alicia interrupted Mobius with a cheerful expression. She had an intoxicating flawless smile on her face, and her pleasant voice was no different from before. "As a lovely fairy lady like everyone else, I know that I must not stop lovely girls when they are angry, so... hey."

Mobius looked at Alicia's helpless smile, his face turning pale, and his sharp voice was full of hidden fear: "Then don't take out your bow! And it's the Herrscher's Armor True Self Key!? Do you really want to kill me? ! ! Where is the flawless hero who always thinks of humanity? ! ! "

"Well, but even the lovely Fairy Lady, the second of the Thirteen Fire Chasing Heroes, the flawless hero, knows one thing." Alicia tilted her head innocently, "If the person you like is taken away by someone else, then of course, you must get him back even if you have to do everything you can. It is based on this belief that Mobius would rather endure the risk of being hostile to other partners and must hold the captain in his hands, right?"

"So?" Mobius asked with a dark face and a bad tone.

"So, in order to respond to Mobius' beautiful and rumored determination, the lovely fairy lady will of course choose to go all out." Alicia smiled, "I believe Mobius will definitely respect my decision, right!"

"I'm %#@○??$——!!!"

"Okay, then what's next--" Ignoring the ambiguous roar of Mebius, Alicia raised the gorgeous bow handle in her hand high, and pinched the slender and tough string with her flawless white index finger and thumb. Then, she exerted strong force on her fingertips and pulled the bow into a full circle in one breath, "--Let's do something fun!"

"Alishia I **********!!!!"

Let’s not talk about the chaos in the Hyperion conference room amid the explosion of energy.

At the same time, at St. Freya's College.

Far Eastern Time January 2014, 1

5:30 in the morning.

Li Shubai, with a pale and haggard face, stared at the ceiling of his bedroom in silence with his newly awakened consciousness.

A minute ago, shortly after waking up, Li Shubai immediately modified the rules of the Hyperion.

Not knowing what kind of crisis this action had brought to Mebius, he sighed silently and glanced to his left and right.

On both sides of him, the white skin was revealed by the tender and smooth shoulders. The flawless white skin was mixed with long, moist and messy gray-gold and silver-white hair. Two light, steady and comfortable breaths sounded softly on both sides of Li Shubai, as if silently announcing that their master was still in a deep and peaceful sleep.

The wonderful touch of warmth and softness meticulously wrapped around Li Shubai's two arms. Feeling the beauty lying on her side, he sighed again with melancholy.

There is no doubt that no matter who it is, when seeing this lewd scene of three people sleeping on a bed, there is only one thing that can be associated with it, and this is also a scene that any exquisite rebuttal and explanation will feel powerless. In fact, if someone came to question him why he was so depraved, Li Shubai would not have the slightest idea of ​​​​defending it.

If you ask why, that is to say - the scene that appears in Li Shubai's bedroom now is not a misunderstanding, nor is there any other accidental or coincidental factor.

That’s right, just last night, the number of people Li Shubai had experienced suddenly jumped from just “one” to “three”, representing the majority, across two whole sheets of paper.

He lowered his head. Li Shubai, who had never smoked or drunk alcohol, suddenly had the urge to light a cigarette and put it on his lips.

He was a fledgling with no experience of sex before yesterday. Even though his mental age was already over 20 years old, he could still be considered a half-innocent boy. However, from last night until now, in less than twelve hours, he had already completed the leap from an innocent boy to an amorous man. The number of people he had been with also suddenly increased from one person to three. Was it a moral decline or...

...Wait, in his uncontrolled rampage, Li Shubai suddenly showed a thoughtful expression, and shook his head somewhat unconvinced of his own opinion. Can Mobius really be called a gentle place? No matter how he thought about it, it felt wrong.

And, then again.

Why on earth did I find myself in a situation that I never even dared to imagine?

In the confusion of his thoughts, Li Shubai seemed to see the scene from eleven hours ago -

Far Eastern Time January 2014, 1

6:50 in the evening.

After realizing that he seemed to be intruding into someone else's family affairs, Li Shubai's common sense made him choose to avoid suspicion without hesitation when encountering such a situation.

However, although he wanted to leave the underground research institute of the Central Church temporarily, other people present did not seem to want to let him leave so easily.

"Sir, please wait a moment." The next moment after Xilin opened the space crack, Otto was the first to break the silent atmosphere caused by the appearance of Li Shubai and the other four.

He first glanced at the expressionless Yaezakura without leaving a trace, pursed his lips, and then forced himself not to pay attention to the fox-eared shrine maiden. A warm and peaceful smile hung on his handsome face: "As expected, you are a young man who makes Yulandel and Rita bow down to you. You can indeed be called a handsome man."

Let Yulandel and Rita bow down to him? Although everyone knew that Otto was not the kind of person who would do things without a purpose, even so, after hearing his words, both Einstein and Walter Yang could not help but show expressions of astonishment.

Compared to them, Cocolia didn't seem to be surprised at all. She raised her face and looked at the man who had made Bronya completely betray her with a complicated expression, and laughed at herself in a self-deprecating way.

Since even Tianming's two S-rank Valkyries had turned against this young man, Bronya's betrayal didn't seem so strange, Cocolia comforted herself.

Li Shubai looked at Otto with some surprise. Although he had seen this handsome and familiar face many times in the Stigmata Space, he was not stupid. Of course, he could not simply think that this Otto was the same as the Otto in the Stigmata Space and had pure kindness towards him.

"Bishop Otto, thank you for your praise. I am just a little bit blessed by the goddess of luck. I don't have any extraordinary advantages." He first responded to Otto's praise cautiously, then pondered for a moment, and finally chose not to play any tricks, but directly asked the question he wanted to ask:

"I wonder why the bishop called me?"

"You don't have to be so wary of me." Otto said with a smile, "After all, you are the new boss chosen by Rita and Yulandel. I know them both very well. Both Yulandel and Rita are not mediocre. Since they chose to switch to work for you, it means that you are recognized by them as an excellent person in terms of both character and ability."

"What a pity." Otto sighed and shook his head, then smiled bitterly. "Even though she met such an outstanding talent, that little Theresa didn't even tell me in advance. It seems that I am a really failed grandfather."

Theresa snorted coldly. If it was someone else who came here, she would probably tell that person anxiously not to trust Otto's words, but thinking that it was Li Shubai, she was too lazy to say anything.

She believed that Li Shubai, who was valued by another "Theresa" who was better than herself, was definitely not a fool who could not stand praise from others.

The facts did confirm her opinion. Facing Otto's flattery, Li Shubai just smiled indifferently: "Indeed, it does sound like a pity. So, Bishop Otto, can you answer my original question?"

Seeing Li Shubai's stubborn look, Otto was not annoyed, but he also knew that Li Shubai seemed to dislike him completely.

Knowing that now was probably not the right time to negotiate, he sighed and shrugged helplessly, "What else can I do? It's just that, after all, I have been the boss of Rita and Yulandel for so long. Although I believe in their judgment, I still can't help but be curious. I believe that with your character, you will not blame me for such a trivial matter."

Chapter 4 Thousand Layer Cake (k)

"How dare I blame Lord Otto, the noble Bishop of Heaven's Fate." Li Shubai smiled, "However, if Bishop Otto is just curious about me... after his curiosity is satisfied, there should be nothing else, right?"

Otto raised his eyebrows. He glanced at Xilin who treated him as air, and then looked at Lost Rosemary who had used Rita's individual information from this world to break into the headquarters of Savior safely and stood in front of him. After thinking for a moment, a gentle smile appeared on his face again.

He extended his hand, indicating that Li Shubai could leave at any time. "Of course, now that I have determined who the superiors chosen by Yulandel and Rita are, I am relieved. Whether it is Yulandel or Rita, they are both very kind Valkyries. Tianming will always be proud of them. Please treat them well in the future."

For those who don't know Otto, if they hear these sincere words, they will probably admire his sincerity towards his subordinates from the bottom of their hearts.

Even though he knew Otto's true nature, Li Shubai still showed a serious expression.

Rather, it is precisely because he knows his nature that Li Shubai can better realize that although Otto's words and deeds at this moment may have other deeper purposes, at this moment, what Otto said should indeed be from the heart.

He looked directly into Otto's pupils and nodded solemnly: "I will."

Otto smiled gratifiedly, then retracted his gaze and turned his gaze to the three people with complicated expressions on their faces. He raised his white-gloved hand and touched his chin, saying meaningfully, "Since Little Theresa doesn't seem to care about your unauthorized invasion of St. Freya's Academy, then I, the Bishop of Heaven's Destiny, will not continue to meddle in your affairs. From now on, please do as you please."

After saying this, Bishop Otto walked towards the outside of the gate without hesitation in front of everyone.
