Collapse, women's clothing strategy Qiyana, then

Alicia immediately asked Bai Yan, "What exactly are you doing? Why is Sakura being treated like this? Is it some new surgery?"

"You should ask Dr. Mei about that. Even I only cooperated because I trusted her."

“Hmm…” Alicia began to think.

But soon, Bai Yan walked over to Klein, who was standing to the side.

Mebius suddenly turned his head and stared at Bai Yan's back.

Bai Yan patted the other person's shoulder, and when the latter turned her head in confusion, he grabbed her face.

"Hmm!" Klein seemed to regain some of her senses.

Bai Yan pinched her chin, rendering her unable to move, while carefully observing her pupils.

“Why do you do this every time you come here? What do you mean by it?” Möbius asked.

"Have you forgotten our family's talent?"

"...Don't tell me you predicted that Klein would be ambushed by a Herrscher!"

Mebius said this through gritted teeth.

She can't accept metaphysics or anything like that!

"You'll be ambushed by a Herrscher."

"Oh, so that's how it is. Then I really am..."

Mebius realized what was going on and stared at Bai Yan.

The atmosphere inside the room became awkward for a moment.

Alicia was also taken aback for a moment, then asked, "A sneak attack on Mebius, but..."

She quickly covered her mouth.

Möbius took a deep breath: "Are you serious?"

“I’m not sure, because now that we’re watching, it’s hard to be sure things won’t still be the same.” Bai Yan released Klein, then walked to Möbius’s side and looked at the screen.

"So, the reason you sent Sakura here was also for this matter?"

"That is indeed Dr. Mei's intention; the rest are just coincidences."

Mebius pondered for a moment, then smiled dismissively: "Thank you for the reminder, but I think the Herrscher wouldn't dare to act rashly."

"Oh?"

"After that, go tell Mei that I completely understand her thoughts and she doesn't need to worry anymore!"

As if he had made up his mind, Möbius's eyes sharpened.

She looked at Sakura again, suddenly filled with fighting spirit.

"Alright, I need to think of a solution carefully. Please excuse me for now," she said without looking up.

The others looked at each other, but quickly chose to leave.

Vivi tried to persuade Bai Yan to stay, but he dismissed her.

At a time like this, why are you still thinking about arming a certain organization? Can't you come up with some new tactics?

—Hmm? Speaking of new operations… Okay, I'll find some work for Teacher DaV to do later!

Having made up his mind, Bai Yan planned to go back and find the clerk to draft a new document.

“Fu Yan, that look in your eyes just now was quite unusual. Did you think of something interesting?” Alicia suddenly spoke up.

Bai Yan then came to his senses, realizing he had been careless.

"Ah, I'm just a little annoyed by Velvi," he quickly tried to divert her attention, "By the way, Alicia, do you think Kiana is cute?"

"Yes! She's very cute! And because Fu Yan gives me special permission to come and go as I please, I see her all the time!"

"Really? That's good..."

Volume 1: Chapter 176: Mebius: Klein is fine!

A month after Sakura underwent further research by Mebius, Dr. Mebius announced the official launch of the project codenamed "Torch".

The specific objectives are unclear, the specific methods of execution are confidential, and the list of relevant personnel is confidential...

The higher-ups at Moth were completely unaware of this strange plan, but no one thought Dr. May was joking.

Because those openly involved in the plan include Mebius and Vervier, and even the captain of the fifth squad has stated that he will unconditionally cooperate with Dr. Mebius.

Various forces came to inquire for a long time but failed to obtain any useful information, which added a deeper layer of mystery to the plan.

Furthermore, higher-ups discovered that all the intelligence personnel sent out had completely lost all relevant memories, as if they had never carried out the infiltration order.

They then realized that, without their knowledge, the situation they had feared most had actually occurred.

Absolute power and the pinnacle of human intelligence converged, pushing them out of the core of power.

Tacitly, no one chose to oppose it; they merely expressed their support or actively supported it in a sensible manner.

During this period, Bai Yan would always receive information about the Stigmata Project from Dr. Mei.

It was completely different from what he remembered, and he couldn't even understand most of it.

When he tactfully revealed the truth, Dr. Mei patiently explained it to him in simple and easy-to-understand language.

It seems she really intends to teach Bai Yan.

This plan is very important, and I want to have a backup of it with the most reliable people, and you are one of them, as is Kevin.

"This isn't the final version, is it?"

Yes, I hope you can also understand its evolution, as this will help you fully grasp the essence of the Stigmata Project.

Bai Yan felt sorry for Mebius for a second.

Even a snake that is not good at human affairs, even one of the founders of the fire-chasing moth, can only humbly work as a laborer at this time.

But it only lasted a second, after all, she later became the Lord of the World Serpent, riding high on her success.

Obtaining the information about the Stigmata Project put Bai Yan at ease; at least the future could be somewhat revised.

"Have you been having Kevin provide 24-hour close protection during this period?"

Kevin would be happy to, but you know, as the captain, he can't avoid carrying out certain missions.

"I'll assign Kiana to be your bodyguard."

Dr. Mei smiled upon hearing this.

Don't worry too much. Given my current situation, the scenario you're imagining is unlikely to occur. Trust my judgment.

"It's good that you understand, but I still have to say, you are forbidden from using that thing that is still on the drawing board in the future."

However, upon hearing this, Dr. Mei's eyes flashed with a strange look.

Kiana said something similar when she visited me. Did you all know something all along?

"..."

Someone who passed through the modified version of the Blank Key would probably have died young if their core hadn't been stolen.

For ordinary people like Dr. Mei, wearing it once would immediately begin the countdown to their death.

"It is a weapon that uses Honkai energy. If an ordinary person forcibly uses it, it is difficult to determine whether they will be killed by the enemy first or die from the corruption of Honkai energy."

[Is that so? I've taken your advice to heart. Also, the representative from Mu Continent has come to headquarters again. Are you still not going to see him?]

Ever since it was learned that Bai Yan had conducted reconnaissance in the Mu Continent in advance, and that he had joined forces with others to defeat the Ninth Herrscher the moment she appeared, the entire Mu Continent's goodwill towards Bai Yan was unmatched by anyone else.

The representative from Mu Continent, through subtle probing, learned just how terrifying the power of the Ninth Herrscher was, and then began trying to build a good relationship with Bai Yan.

"They're gone. Those things mean nothing to me. Accepting them would only bother me more."

It seems that Kaiwen, your indifferent attitude was the right decision.

This was something Bai Yan hadn't expected; Kevin's reason for turning into an iceberg was exactly like this.

Some time later, Bai Yan went to the Möbius Laboratory again.

He came frequently during this period.

However, today he was stopped at the door by Mebius.

For the first time, Bai Yan felt that Mebius was also full of backbone and courage.

"Klein will be fine, don't worry unnecessarily. Also, there has been progress regarding Sakura, but the progress is strange. I think you should ask her yourself to understand."

Mebius also looked aloof, as if to say, "Keep our Klein away."

Bai Yan's gaze passed through Mebius's shoulder, and through that small gap, he spotted Klein, who was engrossed in his work.

"Klein, come out for an examination!" Bai Yan suddenly raised his voice.

Möbius frowned, and after a moment, he found that Klein was still typing on the keyboard. She could even tell which part of the work her assistant was working on by the rhythm of her typing.

At this moment, she said with a slightly amused expression, "Klein is busy and doesn't have time to play divination games with you. Besides, do you think I wouldn't be able to find the problem?"

In his research on collapse, Möbius believed he was second to none.

Monitoring minor anomalies is a piece of cake.

"If there's nothing else, I have to go now. Do as you please."

After saying that, Möbius turned around and went back, closing the door behind him.

Klein's gaze kept shifting between the several windows, his hands operating skillfully, clearly indicating that he was already very familiar with the task.

But Mebius paid a little more attention to Klein's face today, especially his dark circles.

"Am I really being too harsh? Maybe I should give her a short break sometime, like one more experiment and then let her go..."

Mebius's thoughts shifted, and he once again fell into contemplation of Sakura.

"Minghua has much greater potential, so why choose Ying? Is it possible that the same spiritual transformation can lead to the complete evolution of an ordinary person?"

Her interest in Sakura was even greater than her interest in Kevin.

A natural-born warrior and top-tier talent do not prove that a person's potential is limitless.

It is precisely ordinary people who, if they can develop a higher potential...

"What exactly is missing?"

The laboratory gradually quieted down. Danzhu and Cangxuan peeked out from another room, looked at the dazed Möbius, and then at Klein.

"What is Klein writing?"

"I don't know, anyway, it wasn't me who saw it."

"Be a little more serious, or the professor will make us—"

"Shh! Keep your voice down, the Doctor is thinking. If you wake her up, we won't be able to slack off today!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Mebius's voice came over.

"You two go to the warehouse and get a new operating table. While you're at it, take the old one and get it repaired."

The two men were startled and looked at each other in surprise. When they realized that Mebius hadn't said anything else, they quickly began to dismantle the operating table.

A short while later, the two found heavy casters and spent a lot of effort attaching them to the bottom of the operating table before pushing the heavy object away from the laboratory.

Throughout the entire process, Mebius did not raise his head.

However, without a sound, Klein had already left her seat and gone to the coffee machine to make coffee.

The hot coffee was quickly prepared, and she brought it to Mebius.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, Doctor."

Klein stood behind her, not moving for a moment.

Volume 1: Chapter 177: Möbius: He's Been Honest

Bai Yan stood in the dimly lit corridor and saw Dan Zhu and Cang Xuan pushing some kind of heavy object towards them.
