Collapse City, the beginning of the production of the anime version of Collapse 3

"No way..." Kevin was not sure.

"Hey, hey!" The waiter saw two people coming in without ordering food, and sneaking a peek at the "couple" at the opposite table. He almost called the police, so he forced a polite smile and said, "Excuse me, can we order food now?"

"Ah, oh." Kevin ordered a few grilled platters and handed them to Mei, saying, "Do you think we should tell the people in the courtyard?"

"Forget it. Since they haven't notified us, why should we do this?" Mei rejected Kevin's suggestion.

Kevin whispered, "At the beginning in the academy, everyone knew that Senior Sister Mobius had a crush on Yaqing, but Yaqing didn't know whether he really didn't know or was just pretending not to know."

"Kevin, do you think they will return to the courtyard tonight?" Mei asked curiously.

"I don't know, why don't we just keep following."

Chapter 52: Telling Each Other Their Dark History

The barbecue was sizzling with oil and the aroma was fragrant. When Yaqing wanted to pick up some, Mobius snatched it away with his chopsticks. Mobius put the barbecue into his mouth without hesitation, as if he had forgotten that he had just picked it up from the hot baking tray.

"Hot, hot, hot..." Mebius kept fanning the tempting red lips with his little hands, unwilling to spit out the barbecue.

"Senior Mobius, being a natural-looking idiot really doesn't suit you." Ya Qing looked at the scene in front of him with amusement, and remembering Otto's teachings, he handed over a glass of ice water in a gentlemanly manner.

Mebius took the ice water and drank it all in one gulp, feeling the pain on his lips and suspecting that he had blisters from the burns.

"Then how do you know what kind of personality I have?" Mebius stared into Yaqing's eyes.

Yaqing smiled slightly, picked up the barbecue, and said with a smile: "Senior sister, we first met about ten years ago. At that time, you were a sophomore, and Kevin, Su, and I were still freshmen. I remember that you seemed to have the reputation of being a cool school beauty."

"Haha, so cold?" Mobius sneered, "Will you listen to the beasts' thoughts? Rather than saying I'm cold, maybe I should say I don't bother to communicate with them."

Mobius suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help laughing. He chuckled, "Speaking of campus life, it reminds me that you, Su, and Kevin, that little follower, were called...what was it called, the Three Thousand Feather Kings, hahahaha."

"Senior, we are talking about our dark history like this, is it okay for us to be honest?" Yaqing felt uncomfortable when this childish title was mentioned. It was probably that Kevin was the only one who was interested in calling himself His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Didn't you bring it up first?" Mebius didn't suffer any loss.

At the table not far away, Kevin and Mei looked at the two people who were laughing happily with surprise. Kevin asked in confusion: "What are they talking about? They are chatting so happily. I should have sat closer earlier."

"I seemed to hear them talking about... the Three Kings of Thousand Feathers?!" Mei had a strange expression on her face. She naturally knew that her boyfriend was a severe chuunibyou when he was in college. Others gave him the title of "Prince Highness", and he accepted it with great interest.

Kevin, who has been a social animal for five or six years and whose immaturity has been worn away by life, felt uncomfortable at the mention of this immature title, especially when he remembered that he had called himself His Royal Highness the Prince. He felt physically and psychologically uncomfortable.

"Why are they talking about this?" Kevin ate the barbecue in big mouthfuls, as if he wanted to use binge eating to briefly forget his middle school days.

"Does dating nowadays just mean talking about each other's dark history?" Mei said it was not difficult to understand.

"This is definitely not normal, but..." Kevin felt that it was normal for Mobius and Yaqing. After all...

Yaqing and Mebius sneezed.

Both of them felt that someone was scolding them.

"What do you think?" Mebius asked.

"What are you thinking about?" Yaqing dipped the barbecue in the seasoning.

"You suddenly want to make anime again. The ratings of "Saint Redemption" were zero. So you are so unconfident about the new script?" Mebius blew on the hot barbecue and waited until it cooled down a little before putting it into his mouth.

"I really didn't write the script for 'Saint Redemption'."

Speaking of this, Yaqing gnashed his teeth with anger. Right after he graduated, Otto called him back to take the blame, which resulted in the block he was responsible for being delayed until now. The board of directors used this incident to reject his creative ideas.

"I can see that the Saint Kallen was written by President Otto. You left the Far East without saying a word just to take the blame." Mobius actually believed it at the time and thought that Yaqing was secretly in love with someone else's wife.

"So, you're going to let someone else take the blame this time?" When Mebius saw that the screenwriter's name was only Walter Young, he knew that Yaqing had made the same choice as Otto.

"It's not that I'm not confident, on the contrary, I'm too confident in the script." The fruit platter that Yaqing ordered was served, and he took a bite of the sliced watermelon to help with the greasiness of the barbecue.

"It's because of my confidence in the script. So I'm afraid someone will send me razor blades, or even radical audience members may come and stab me in real life." Yaqing said seriously.

"What did you write behind it?" Seeing that Yaqing would rather give the reputation to others than write his own name, Mebius became a little curious.

"Nothing much, just a story about a beautiful girl saving the world." Yaqing added another pile of raw meat to the baking tray.

Mebius frowned and asked, "You are not a minotaur?"

Yaqing just took a sip of water and almost sprayed it on Mebius' pretty face. Fortunately, he held back. Otherwise, he would have been sent to the experimental operating table by Mebius himself before the radical audience could give him the knife.

"How could you have such an idea?!" Ya Qing couldn't maintain his false gentlemanly demeanor and looked at Mebius in astonishment.

"Well, what else? You said it's a story about a beautiful girl saving the world. Apart from the cow and the green, I really can't think of any reason why you would be afraid of the audience stabbing you." Mebius took out a tissue and wiped his mouth.

"Haha, these are all malignant tumors and should not exist in the world." Yaqing said while eating.

Mebius propped up his head and looked at him quietly.

After finishing the barbecue on the tray, Yaqing stood up to pay the bill, but Mebius stopped him.

"do not move."

Yaqing stopped subconsciously.

Mebius pulled out a tissue and wiped the sauce off the corner of Yaqing's mouth.

Kevin at the next table secretly took another photo and sent it to Su privately.

A Kind Doctor: "So...wonderful?"

Su, who was having dinner with everyone in the Golden Courtyard, looked at the photo sent by Kevin and opened her squinted eyes in shock.

"Brother Su, what's wrong?" Seeing Su actually open his eyes, everyone's curiosity was instantly aroused. Pado, who was sitting closest, was the first to ask.

"Nothing. Kevin sent me a message about a restaurant I've always wanted to go to." As expected of a doctor, he could lie without blushing or getting nervous.

But Su's explanation was so unbelievable that not only no one else believed it, even Cantou probably wouldn't believe it.

COOL~: "I feel like they're sweeter than Mei and I. Even the dangerous senior Mebius pretends to be a woman when she's in love."

A doctor with a kind heart: "Kevin, it's best not to say such things in front of Senior Sister Mebius, otherwise, you might end up like Senior Sister Klein."

COOL~: "Of course, I'm not a fool. I won't say any more. They are leaving."

After Yaqing paid the bill, he and Mobius left the barbecue restaurant. This time, they took the elevator straight down to the basement floor, and Mobius sat in the passenger seat of the McLaren.

"Senior, where are we going next? To the World Snake, or back to the courtyard?" Yaqing brushed the steering wheel with one hand and took out her cell phone with the other.

"Let's go to the World Snake. We still have experiments to do, but we have to go first..."

Chapter 53: A Habit That Has Not Changed for Ten Years

At World Snake Technology Company, the three senior executives announced today that all employees would be on holiday, which meant that except for a few people who stayed at their posts inside the company building, Mebius asked Yaqing to park his car in the company's parking lot.

"The company building is quite big. It seems that your world snake has developed quite well in recent years." Yaqing was holding a cup of milk tea and had several cups of milk tea in his hands.

Mebius was also holding a cup of milk tea, drinking it in small sips. After swallowing a mouthful of pearls, he spoke: "It all depends on you, the big investor behind the scenes."

"Don't say that. I only invested some money when I graduated. Now it has been seven or eight years, and the development of World Snake still depends on you." Yaqing didn't care about the initial investment at all. For him, it was just less than a quarter's share of the company's profits.

Yaqing and Mebius swiped their cards and walked into the company building. While they were waiting for the elevator, the two little followers finally arrived downstairs in a taxi.

Kevin hid in the lawn, raised two small branches, and asked in confusion: "Come to the company on a date, does this have any special meaning?"

Seeing Kevin's silly look, Mei touched her forehead helplessly, "Kevin, are you...pretending?"

Kevin coughed a few times, threw away the small branch in his hand, and said seriously: "Mei, do we still want to follow?"

"How can we follow them? There are surveillance cameras everywhere, and Mobius must be taking Yaqing to the laboratory, where there is only one elevator." Mei gave up. She was most familiar with the company, so she knew that if she continued to follow, she would definitely be discovered.

"Oh." Kevin sighed, still looking unwilling.

When Yaqing and Mebius walked into the elevator, strangely, the elevator did not go up, but went down until it reached the negative third floor.

Mebius's laboratory is on the negative third floor. This was her own request. In Mebius's words, she didn't want anyone to disturb her experiment.

In the laboratory on the third floor below ground, a girl in a white coat sat at the table nodding her head. Her dark circles were so dark that she was afraid she would fall asleep suddenly. There were three bowls of instant noodles on the table, weighed down by books. Next to her, the noisy twin girls were also sleeping soundly on the laboratory table.

"Ding."

The sound of swiping a card rang out. The girl in the white JK short skirt rubbed her eyes and yawned. "Ha~, is it already evening? Senior Sister Klein, have you prepared our instant noodles?"

The girl in the white skirt pushed the girl in the black JK short skirt who looked exactly like her, and the girl in the black skirt woke up slowly.

“Hmm… instant noodles, instant noodles!” Klein hurriedly lifted the book that was pressing on the instant noodles, but unfortunately the noodles had already been soaked and rotten, and even the boiling water poured into them was now cold.

"This shouldn't be eaten...right?" Danzhu came over and looked at the cooling instant noodles that had been soaked for who knows how many hours.

"It's better not to eat it. Make three new bowls." For safety reasons, Cang Xuan didn't want to go to the hospital because of food poisoning again.

"Cough cough cough." Mebius looked at them with twitching mouth. It was obvious that she had survived this way, so why, from the perspective of an outsider, did it feel like she was abusing her employees?

"PhD!"

The two sisters, Klein and Cangxuan Danzhu, were attracted by the coughing sound and then noticed Mebius standing at the door. They hurriedly went to greet him and looked at the man next to Mebius curiously.

There were not many people who could enter Mobius' laboratory, let alone men. While working in the laboratory, they had only met the three doctors of the World Serpent, or the office workers who came to deliver supplies but actually wanted to see someone, specifically Kevin.

"I understand, Doctor. This is another guinea pig you found!" Danzhu was in low spirits, but his eyes were full of wisdom.

Ya Qing looked at Mobius strangely. First he abused his employees and then captured people as guinea pigs. He felt that the senior was more dangerous than when she was in the academy.

Mebius knew what Yaqing was thinking by the look in his eyes, and snorted coldly, "Humph, those people all volunteered to participate in the experiment, I didn't force them."

Mebius turned his head sharply, and his long green hair slapped Yaqing's face. The sweet smell of shampoo made Yaqing's nose itchy.

Danzhu scratched his head, somewhat confused, "Did I say something wrong?"

"Stupid." As an elder sister, Cang Xuan knocked Danzhu's head lightly, causing Danzhu to glare at her.

"Hello, my name is Yaqing Shaniyat. I'm Dr. Mobius's junior and my roommate in Golden Courtyard." In front of outsiders, Yaqing always pretends to be a gentleman, even if that doesn't make the other person feel good about him.

Perhaps it was his instinct as a laboratory assistant, Cang Xuan did not shake the hand that Yaqing extended.

Danzhu, on the other hand, became excited and held Yaqing's hands with both hands. "So you are the great director. I am your fan. I loved your movie Redemption when I was in elementary school. Please, you must sign it for me!"

Yaqing was quite happy when she heard that the other party was her fan, but when she heard about that unlucky work, her smile froze instantly and she even wanted to pull her hand away.

Sister, I don’t agree with your aesthetic.

But as a gentleman, Yaqing did not say it out loud, nor would he offend a lady, so he signed his name to Danzhu reluctantly.

"Are you the director of Tianming?" Cang Xuan reacted at this time, his eyes turned into the shape of money, fortunately he was pulled back by Danzhu in time.

"Ha...ha, I brought you a gift." Yaqing really couldn't understand the train of thought of the people under Mobius, so he had to abruptly change the subject and put the milk tea that Mobius asked him to buy on the table.

"It's milk tea. Senior sister, come here quickly. There's milk tea available!" Danzhu called to Klein who was almost asleep.

Klein took the milk tea in a daze and muttered to himself, "It's milk tea, great... I can work for a few more hours again."

"Klein, long time no see." Yaqing said with a smile.

Speaking of Klein, she seemed to be his junior, but when Klein entered the school, he was already a senior and out for an internship. It was when he returned to school to attend the graduation party that he saw Klein following behind Mebius for the first time.

“Um…Senior Yaqing, long time no see.” Klein’s voice was very weak, as if he would run out of breath in the next second.

"Klein, how long have you been working continuously? I told you a long time ago that your body will be exhausted if you keep doing this." Yaqing asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay. I've already slept for two hours this afternoon." Klein was enjoying the sweetness of the milk tea, but he still shook his head quickly.

"Klein, it's time for you to rest." Mebius came over with a cup of instant coffee. She was also worried about Klein's physical condition. She was really afraid that one day Klein would suddenly die in the laboratory.

"But the research hasn't been completed yet..." Klein said weakly.

"Research?" Mebius glanced at the twin sisters. "If it weren't for them, this research would have ended long ago."

"Doctor, how can you say that!" Danzhu put his hands on his hips.

"That's right." Cang Xuan echoed.

"Haha." Mobius sneered, "A few days ago, who was eating instant noodles and knocked over the bowl, causing a whole page of important information to be covered with soup? Who was late for 29 days in a month, resulting in buying milk tea 29 times? Or who..."

Mobius counted on his fingers the stupid things that Cangxuan and Danzhu sisters had done. Before Mobius could finish, the twin sisters hugged Mobius's thighs like Sun Wukong when Tang Monk recited the spell to tighten the hoop.

"Doctor, please stop reading. I will never eat instant noodles before putting away the information again." Danzhu was in tears. Almost two-thirds of the stupid things that Mebius said were done by her.

"I think I know why you guys stayed in the company." Yaqing casually opened the bottle of iron phosphide and poured the powder into his palm and mouth.

This shocked Danzhu and Cangxuan, who were still crying and sobbing. Can iron phosphide be eaten?

"Why are you looking at me?" Ya Qing licked the powder on her lips and said with a smile, "Senior, after all these years you are still obsessed with putting powdered sugar in the bottle of ferrous phosphide."
