"middle."

Could you elaborate?

Zhou Si couldn't hold back any longer. The two of them had been away from the headquarters of the Fire Moth for two whole days. During these two days, they had been traveling all the time, while Mebius had been holding her tablet all day.

Aside from giving directions, the two didn't interact much.

"Finally finished."

Mebius looked at the screen on the tablet, let out a long sigh, and then looked up at Zhou Si with some confusion.

What did you just say?

"I asked if you could elaborate."

Zhou Si felt powerless and could only use eating to mask his grief and anger. At this moment, there was already a stack of empty bowls next to him, and the owner in the kitchen was starting to look at him with a sense of fear.

Oh, by the way, Mebius paid for all the expenses these past few days, since Zhou Si didn't have any money from here.

"of course can."

Mebius placed the tablet on the table beside him, took a sip of water, and then began to explain to Zhou Si why he had come here.

"I'm planning to choose a location here to build a new laboratory."

"You're not planning to go back to the Flame Chaser?"

"Of course we'll go back, but definitely not now."

Since the Second Great Collapse, the 'Mebius Faction' has been growing stronger. Whether it's Alicia, who killed two Herrschers, or Mebius, who has recently gained prominence within the Firemoth, they all have good relationships with Mebius.

This left the higher-ups at Moth Chaser completely baffled. They had already tarnished Mebius's reputation so badly, so how could she still manage to make it work?

In short, those high-ranking officials with their brains in their butts tried almost every possible way to curb the development of Möbius's power.

Smearing and cutting funding are one thing.

These days, more and more spies are appearing around the First Research Institute, if only the entire institute had a few people.

Otherwise, the First Research Institute would also lose its secrets.

“Those old folks have gone a bit too far.”

Mebius swallowed the noodles in his mouth, and Zhou Si subconsciously reached out to wipe the scallions from the corner of Mebius's mouth with a tissue.

The two were interacting just like a real father and daughter.

"I could tolerate it before because they were relatively quick to transfer the money, but now, well, hehe."

Mebius chuckled coldly; she wasn't the type to passively accept things as they were.

Since those old fogies are inhuman, then don't blame her for finding another way.

"So the explosion in the lab wasn't just an accident?"

Mebius nodded slightly, confirming Zhou Si's guess.

The entire explosion and the escaped monster were meticulously planned by her, and she even deliberately chose the time when Alicia came to find her.

Although Mebius disliked the pink-haired girl, he had to admit that having her around in this situation could avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

As for the unexpected part...

Möbius looked down at his arms, which were as slender and delicate as a child's...

No, not like, she is a child now.

The experiment's effects on her were somewhat unexpected; Zhou Siji's gene's inclusiveness was much stronger than she had imagined.

The processed Shesa genes integrated perfectly into her body, and all the parameters of this body far exceeded her expectations.

But there's only one downside...

'He smells so good.'

Mebius's facial expression twitched slightly; she now seemed to understand the Thunder Dragon's feelings.

Zhou Si sitting in front of her was like a tempting cake, exuding a sweet fragrance. Beyond that, there was a sense of closeness stemming from blood ties, making Möbius unable to resist wanting to get closer to Zhou Si.

Fortunately, Möbius had an incredibly strong will and was able to barely endure the agonizing itch to be with Zhou Si.

Anyone else would have pounced on them already.

This is also why Mebius has been so indifferent these past two days.

However, as time goes by, Mebius is gradually getting used to this feeling and will likely be completely immune to it soon.

"Those old Dengs are watching too closely. I need to fade out of the public eye for a while, and then find an opportunity to go back and make a comeback."

"Besides, your portal isn't suitable for the Fire-Chasing Moth either."

Mebius placed the empty bowl of noodles in front of her; her appetite had increased significantly after completing the experiment.

"So that's the main reason for choosing a location?"

Möbius nodded, then pushed out a tablet with an address marked on it.

"This was an abandoned workshop before Wilvi was arrested. The Fire Moths didn't have much of a desire to control this area, making it a suitable location for a research institute."

Mebius didn't finish what he was saying. This address was given to her by Extreme Evil, meaning that unless Extreme Evil broke the agreement, it was almost impossible for anyone to find this place.

"That is indeed very safe."

Zhou Si neither agreed nor disagreed, and then he raised a question.

"So where is this workshop located?"

"Twilight Street".

"What?"

--------------------------

"Name?"

"Alicia."

"gender?"

"Female."

"age?"

"A beautiful girl's age is a secret! And could you two please tone down your smiles a bit?"

In the dimly lit interrogation room, Alicia looked at the two men sitting opposite her with a face full of shame and indignation. Even though she was the one being interrogated, she deserved basic respect!

"Ahem, Alicia, don't misunderstand."

“We’ve both been professionally trained so that we won’t laugh no matter how funny it is, right Kevin?”

Hen nudged the white-haired boy next to him with his elbow, trying his best to appear serious, but the corners of his mouth that never fell betrayed his true feelings.

Kevin couldn't help but chuckle, but he wasn't as direct as Hen; at least he knew to turn his head away before laughing.

Kevin has now officially joined the first squad of the Fire Moth, where Hen is located, and due to his outstanding performance, he has become the third-in-command of the first squad.

Hen was also very happy to personally guide this gifted young man, not to mention that keeping him by his side would allow him to hear gossip about him and that Dr. Mei.

After a brief moment of joking around, we eventually got back to the main topic.

"Tell me, Ellie, why were you at the First Research Institute back then?"

Hen looked at the contents written on the folder and read them aloud as if reciting a book. However, both his nonchalant attitude and his very intimate way of addressing him showed his true feelings.

As a fellow warrior, he naturally sided with Ellie.

Moreover, since it is he and Kevin who are being interrogated here, it means that Dr. Mebius has most likely already negotiated the terms with the higher-ups, and the current interrogation is just a routine procedure.

"I...I couldn't sleep at night, so I went out for a walk to clear my head. Because I was worried about what happened during the day, I didn't notice and ended up at the research institute."

Unfortunately, no one reminded poor Ellie, and she hadn't thought of that yet. The tension made her mind a bit confused, especially since the recorder next to her wasn't even turned on.

The lame excuse almost made Xiaohen laugh again, but fortunately, the middle-aged man held back his laughter this time, protecting Alicia's last bit of dignity.

"Well—after all, Miss Alicia is usually very busy, so it's understandable that she might want to go out for a walk when she's in a bad mood."

"Kevin, write this down."

"Okay Captain."

"Write that Ms. Alicia is concerned about the organization and does not hesitate to sneak into the First Research Institute in the middle of the night to eliminate potential dangers."

"Aili, loyalty!"

"Stop talking!!!"

Listening to the conversation between Hen and Kevin on the other side, Alicia let out a sharp screech. Her face was already flushed red, clearly angered by Hen's words.

When middle-aged men get carried away, it's truly unbearable for most people; at least Alicia couldn't handle it.

Ellie has already written down Mebius, Zhou Si, and Hen in her little notebook, and she's going to make them pay later!

Ellie's revenge is never too late!

Then Xiahen asked a few more irrelevant questions, and at this point, Alicia finally realized what was going on.

"So you guys have been messing with me all along, haven't you?"

"Ahem, that's not true. We're asking you a very serious question."

“I’m sure I’ll tell Little Greta and Blanca when I get out.”

Ellie simply replied with a 'cold expression' that Hen was already on her blacklist and that she wouldn't forgive him until the end of the month.

Now it was Hen's turn to look embarrassed, but after only a short while, his expression returned to its previous smug look.

"It's a pity, Ellie. You may have to wait a while before you can see Gretchen and the others."

"Ok?"

"There's a task specifically assigned to you from above."

Hen handed a document to Alicia, who took it, opened it, and began to read it carefully.

After glancing over the contents, Alicia looked up with some confusion.

"Supplies lost?"

"Yes."

Hen nodded, took out a portable computer from the side, placed it in front of Alicia, and opened a video file.

The video footage is somewhat dark, but it is still clear that this is one of the warehouses of the Fire Moth.

The room was packed full of various boxes.

As the progress bar moved forward, when the time fast-forwarded to 2 a.m., the warehouse door was suddenly crushed by an invisible force, leaving a large hole.

Then the supplies in the warehouse seemed to be swept into the air by something unseen, and then disappeared.

Alicia blinked, then rewound several times to make sure she hadn't misread or missed anything.

Those supplies truly vanished into thin air, leaving no trace whatsoever.

This was the first time Ellie had ever encountered such a bizarre situation, and she didn't know how to react for a moment.

"Were there any important items among those supplies?"

"No, but there are a lot of weapons and ammunition inside."

"?"

A question mark slowly appeared above Ellie's head. This isn't considered an important item, is it?

"What I mean is, you can do it with confidence. There's nothing inside that needs to be protected or collected."

Hen corrected Ellie's idea.

"I understand, leave it to me."

Ellie picked up the document and accepted the task.

That batch of weapons is no small amount; if it falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Alicia, of course, had to nip such a possibility in the bud.

"Ellie, you'll have to complete this mission on your own. The Firemoth won't offer you any assistance."
