Honkai Impact 3: Saving the former civilization by rubbing the black technology

"Then you should at least understand the situation before making a decision, right?"

Ai Yue's tone was somewhat helpless. "If it weren't for a very complicated project, why would I even consider human experiments? The dangers involved are probably beyond your imagination."

"I can't die, so it doesn't matter."

Mebius said with a strange look on his face, "I'm not afraid, so why are you still hesitating?"

Ai Yue looked at her seriously: "What if I say that this project might cause your ability to resurrect to fail?"

This is why Ai Yue has been hesitant.

The current situation of the stigma factor is unclear. If conventional means are used to conduct experiments, it is difficult to say whether unpredictable situations will occur during the process.

If the stigma factor itself could evolve into the same ability characteristics as Mebius himself, just like Kosmo did, then everyone would be happy. However, if other trends appeared in the process, or even the opposite situation, then the risk to Mebius would be greatly increased.

This is even a relatively good result. After all, whether the artificial catalysis process will stimulate the Honkai Beast's genes to run wild or distort is still an unknown. Once encountering such a situation, Mebius may really be worse than death.

Ai Yue could not accept this result, so he was considering whether to use those unforgivable death row prisoners for experiments so that they could make use of their final value.

If it really doesn't work, he would rather stop the project that the system is currently deducing.

But Mebius didn't care about it. Instead, he laughed and said, "It seems that this is indeed an incredible project. You can't stop me from participating."

"If you want to participate, you can come and be my assistant."

Ai Yue shook his head. "As for the human experiment, I have another candidate."

"Why are you so fussy? You were the one who asked me to volunteer just now, weren't you?"

But Mebius was not happy. He frowned and looked at Ai Yue, "I already agreed, but you regret it? No, I will be the volunteer!"

Ai Yue didn't say anything, but just looked at Mebius silently. Mebius didn't have any intention of dodging and glared back without any hesitation.

The two of them remained deadlocked for a long time. Finally, Ai Yue sighed and gave in: "You have to give me a reason to convince me, right?"

"Because I am the most suitable person."

Mebius's answer was straightforward, clearly having thought everything through long ago. "First, I have extensive volunteer experience, and my resurrection ability can be reused repeatedly without sacrificing a large number of lives, which can reduce your moral burden."

Ai Yue looked strange: "Can you please stop talking like you're some kind of experimental device?"

"Secondly, I am a top scholar in the field of biology and can accurately provide feedback on every detail of the experiment."

Mebius ignored Ai Yue's complaints and continued, "You should be well aware that some details in the experiment cannot be observed simply by collecting data. I can accurately describe every change that happened to me. Can others do that?"

Ai Yue showed a thoughtful expression, as if he was persuaded by Mobius.

"Lastly, and most importantly."

Mebius suddenly gave a gentle smile, "This is your request, how could I refuse?"

"Mebius,"

Ai Yue also showed a gentle expression, "Thank you, I understand."

"Just understand."

Mebius nodded in satisfaction, "So what exactly do you want me to do?"

"You don't have to do anything. I mean, you reminded me."

Ai Yue said, "Looking at it this way, I'm the most suitable person to be a volunteer."

"what?"

"I should have realized it when I saw you. Since this is my own project, it's natural..."

Ai Yue was still talking to himself when he noticed that Mebius had stood up with a cold face and walked towards him. "Hey, what are you going to do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mebius threw Ai Yue to the ground and rode on him: "I found that you are really irritating, so I want to vent my anger now. Shut up first."

"Wait, this is a laboratory... Ugh!!"

By the time the two men finally calmed down, the laboratory was already a mess. Mebius was lying on the floor, gasping for breath, her eyes a little dazed, but when she turned her head slightly, she could see Ai Yue sitting beside her, looking quite at ease.

Obviously, after Ai Yue became a fusion warrior, he was far superior to Mebius in pure physical strength competition.

Of course, it is also possible that I was too rough just now.

"You guy..."

Mebius struggled to his feet and said through gritted teeth, "Don't be so complacent!"

Ai Yue stretched out his leg and tripped Mebius, who immediately lost his balance and fell down. In the end, he was held in his arms: "Okay, you should have vented your anger, right? You've already let out so much."

"Cut the nonsense!"

Mebius looked at the messy laboratory, his face flushed, but he still stared at Ai Yue and kept struggling, "This matter is not over yet!"

"OK OK,"

Ai Yue hugged her tightly and asked, "Why are you reacting so strongly?"

"What do you say?"

Mebius glared at him. "Ai Yue, I've said this many times. I can die, but you can't! No matter who heard what I just said, they will definitely be against you. Do you understand?"

This is what annoyed Mebius the most. The other party's character of putting the protection of others first in everything and not taking himself seriously made it really difficult for those who cared about him not to be angry about it.

More importantly, Ai Yue is not only so important in the eyes of Mobius, he is of great significance to the entire human civilization. The life of such a person is even more important than that of a country, but he himself does not think so.

"I understand, I understand."

Ai Yue sighed, as if giving up something, "Well, welcome to this project, volunteer Mebius."

Ai Yue also realized that from the moment Mebius discovered that she was worried, this matter could no longer be hidden from her. In this case, all she could do was to minimize the risk as much as possible, rather than trying to find ways to deceive the other party.

"You agree?"

Mebius was stunned for a moment, then smiled, but soon his expression turned into alertness. "You, you're not going to fool me first and then do it secretly, are you?"

"Then you are welcome to supervise us 24 hours a day."

Ai Yue stretched out his arms and made a welcoming gesture. "How about it? Is this sincere enough?"

"That's pretty much it."

Mebius finally believed Ai Yue's words, and then he supported his chest with his hands and tried to stand up, "Okay, hurry up and clean up... Hey!"

Halfway through her words, she fell back into Ai Yue's arms.

Ai Yue held her up with his hands: "What's going on?"

"My legs are weak..."

Mebius lowered his head and whispered, and when he heard Ai Yue couldn't help laughing, he bit his shoulder angrily, "It's all your fault, and you're still laughing!"

"Wrong, wrong,"

Ai Yue quickly begged for mercy, "Don't move around, I have to get up and clean up here after a rest."

"Hmph, this is easy."

Mebius finally relented, revealing a smug expression. "Watch this!"

As she spoke, she twisted a few times and found a comfortable position in Ai Yue's arms. Then she saw the familiar black and green sticky substance spreading from under her feet and gradually covering every corner of the laboratory. For a moment, the whole room was plunged into darkness.

After Mebius reabsorbed this part of the substance, although the messy state of the laboratory could not be changed, a lot of the mess was indeed reduced.

"Absorbing nutrients and converting them into energy, can this trick be used in this way?"

Ai Yue showed a thoughtful expression, "By the way, is this considered a self-reinforcing cycle in some sense?"

"Are you stupid?"

Mebius rolled his eyes and was about to say something when he froze for a moment. Then he suddenly stood up from Ai Yue, "You...you...how did you recover so quickly!"

"Isn't that the time you used to tease me about this?"

Ai Yue also stood up, deliberately showing a sinister smile, like a gangster who had cornered an innocent girl in a dead end. "It seems that you have recovered a lot, right? Second round?"

"Slow down, slow down,"

Looking at Ai Yue's expression, Mebius subconsciously took a step back. "Let's talk business first. Business is more important!"

She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she still felt her legs were weak.

"also."

Ai Yue did not force it. After all, he was actually weak inside. So he pulled a chair and sat down. He found a black folder from the messy pile of documents and handed it to Mebius. "Take a look at this first."

Only then did Mebius breathe a sigh of relief. He picked up the skirt from the side and put it on, then took the folder from Ai Yue's hand and began to look through it.

Although the contents were a mess with no format at all, completely written down by Ai Yue at will, Mobius knew the other party's habits very well, so it did not affect her reading. So she quickly understood what the other party wanted to express, and then suddenly raised her head to look at Ai Yue: "Is this the reason why you suddenly organized the physical examination earlier?"

Obviously she had connected the previous events together.

"Well, the results weren't ideal."

Ai Yue nodded and said, "I haven't figured out the middle part yet, just read the end."

So, Mebius skipped over the data report on the stigmata factors in Kevin and the others' bodies and saw Ai Yue's speculation based on the existing information: "A special component produced by the potential explosion of humans at the moment of death... Isn't this a bit too imprecise?"

Mebius had a strange expression on his face, as if he were reading some cheap literature. "And this 'stigma factor'... is that considered plagiarism?"

Of course, Mebius would not forget that among his projects that were originally stopped, there was one called "Stigmata Project".

"Because I haven't figured out the principle of how this substance is formed, I can only make this inference for now."

Ai Yue shrugged, deliberately skipping the topic of plagiarism. "But various phenomena currently support this conclusion. At least the direction should be correct."

"So the reason I'm not in the sample data is because I'm not afraid of death and therefore can't unleash my potential?"

Mobius frowned and flipped through the documents. "It seems logically correct, but why does it make me feel so uncomfortable? I've been through my fair share of crises!"

"There are two possibilities at the moment. One is that you really don't have it. After all, after becoming a fusion warrior, you basically have no concept of death, so it's understandable."

After obtaining Kosmo's blood sample, Ai Yue gained a new understanding. "The second possibility is that you actually have the Stigmata factor in your body, but because you keep dying and being reborn in that special way, this Stigmata factor has become deeply integrated with your genes, which is why it cannot be detected."

Due to this characteristic of "Shesha", Mebius has the highest degree of fusion with the Honkai Beast genes among all fusion warriors. In other words, there are very few human elements in her body.

If we look at it from a rational point of view, the Mobius in front of Ai Yue is essentially just a mimicry-like shell. The real Mobius is actually that special black-green substance. Only in this way can Mobius be resurrected no matter what kind of death he experiences.

So in this case, even if Mebius contained the stigmata factor, it might exist in some other form, and it was understandable that it could not be detected by previous detection methods.

"Is this an illusion? I always feel like you are scolding me."

Mebius was flipping through the documents when he suddenly looked up and glanced at Ai Yue suspiciously. "How do you plan to conduct the experiment next?"

"I haven't thought about the details yet, but I can start with the basics."

Ai Yue scratched his head. "For example, how about injecting the stigma factor extracted from other people into your body first?"

"That sounds weird,"

Mebius subconsciously touched his arm, but did not object. "But since you said so, I'll listen to you."

As she spoke, she deliberately revealed a charming expression and raised her eyebrows at Ai Yue: "This body will be at your disposal from now on."

Ai Yue smiled, then suddenly walked forward and picked him up: "You said so."

"Wait, that's not what I meant!"

"how do you feel?"

In the operating room the next day, Ai Yue took off his protective gloves and looked at Kevin who was slowly waking up.

"It seems... I don't feel anything?"

Kevin sat up from the operating table and looked at his hands. "Did they really inject new Honkai Beast genes?"

"Because this time we're using the Honkai Beast gene of the same attributes as 'Pavanti', theoretically it should enhance your ability to control ice."

Ai Yue began to organize the surgical instruments. "The fusion of multiple Honkai beast genes needs to be done gradually. Otherwise, if the balance is not yet stable, if it is disrupted, it may cause the genes in your body to collapse on their own."

"so serious?"

Kevin couldn't help but show a worried expression, "Then I won't explode while fighting on a mission, right?"

"That's not the case. How could the surgery I performed have such a hidden danger?"

Hearing Kevin's concerns, Ai Yue couldn't help but laugh, "Don't worry, you won't explode even if you overweight and super transform now."
