Under pressure, the boy's progress was particularly evident, especially because of his age and experience, he was often able to handle many troubles calmly.

An Yu also helped tidy up, somewhat surprised:

"Not working overtime tonight?"

That's really quite rare.

Mebius did not respond; she silently continued organizing the data until everything appeared to be in order.

"You don't need to come tomorrow."

She stood up, her tone as calm as when they first met.

"Klein is back?" An Yu guessed.

Mebius did not answer.

"Human experiments?"

An Yu instantly realized that Kevin's efforts had finally paid off.

And the control samples he had been waiting for would appear before him in a perfectly reasonable and legal manner.

"..."

Möbius frowned slightly and turned his head away to avoid his gaze: "Why can't it be... I find you too annoying?"

After all, An Yu had never expressed any opposition to An Yu's past radicalism.

"Just consider it my narcissism."

An Yu stood up, took out the documents that Möbius had misplaced, and rearranged them.

"Klein will be back soon, and the work can be delayed for a day or two. We don't need you for the time being."

Mebius emphasized softly that the young man and she were so compatible that she felt a little reluctant to send him away... she thought to herself.

An Yu stood quietly in front of her. Möbius looked back at her, the boy's smile as bright as ever, even brighter than before.

“Doctor, you don’t need to adapt to me.” The boy repeated his words from the past, his tone serious: “I’ve said it before, I’ll adapt to you, you just be yourself.”

Mebius opened her mouth but remained silent, constantly thinking of how to refute, but unfortunately, her limited social skills made her completely unsuitable for this area.

In the end, all she could do was repeat, "It's time to go home after get off work."

"Doctor, you don't need to adapt to me."

An Yu emphasized again, her tone both gentle and firm.

"It's finally time to leave work today. The meeting is over, and I can stop all my current work now. It's time to prepare for the new project."

Mebius lowered his head and did not answer An Yu's words.

Tonight is a rare occasion for the First Laboratory... no overtime.

An Yu added, "I will try my best to help."

Mebius did not deny it, which means he agreed.

Möbius's family lived in the First Laboratory, and there were residences nearby, so the only distance between them was from the laboratory to their door.

The streetlights were bright, not all of them streetlights, and there was also a brightly lit motorcycle, but few people came along this route.

The two of them squinted simultaneously. At the end of the light source, a woman leaned against a motorcycle, one leg planted on the ground, her figure dashing, her fiery red hair flowing freely, and she seemed to have a lollipop in her mouth.

Möbius spoke softly, "She's also in the process of searching for things. (She's also doing so)."

An Yu said in a flat tone: "Children always tend to imitate adults."

Volume 150: Chapter 151 Sakura: Did I send another one?

"Tempted?"

Himeko unwrapped the lollipop and handed it to An Yu, her voice somewhat unsteady.

She did want to smoke, but it was obvious that An Yu didn't like the smell of smoke. However, this guy wouldn't care; he would only reduce the time they spent together.

"Why do you think so?"

An Yu sat in the back, a lollipop in her mouth, her voice a little muffled.

Himeko said calmly, "Because those who can't be tamed are all ingrates."

"It is impossible for a person to remain unchanged in life."

Perhaps because she grew up with An Yu, Himeko takes many bad habits and even labels lightly. As long as they can be tamed, that's fine, as long as they're not complete scumbags who enjoy hurting others' feelings.

An Yu was silent for a moment, the night breeze ruffling his hair. "If you want to scold me, there's no need to beat around the bush."

Himeko didn't say anything more, twisted the throttle, and the motorcycle shot off like an arrow again, the wind whistling in her ears.

The city was large, but Himeko was moving at a high speed, so it didn't take long before she arrived home.

"I've never seen you speed."

Himeko took off her helmet.

An Yu explained, "It's easy to get into trouble."

Himeko's personality is prone to recklessness, but if someone suddenly appears among Himeko's reckless companions, they are easily noticed.

After all, street racing is not a popular hobby in this city that is known as the world's central hub.

"I haven't seen you play the violin since."

An Yu sighed, too lazy to answer such a stupid question.

"Are you afraid that Alicia will recognize you through these clues?" Himeko suddenly asked.

An Yu looked at her questioningly: "Otherwise what?"

Isn't this logic simple? He doesn't need to take these risks for trivial matters.

"Then what exactly are you trying to do by hiding all this time?" Himeko leaned against the motorcycle, her gaze intense.

"Just assume I want to become a god."

An Yu wasn't in a good mood, waved her hand, and prepared to go home to sleep.

Himeko continued to suck on her lollipop in the back, lost in thought.

"We've found you, Poisonous Chrysalis."

"It's alright, I don't know anyone there."

Qianjie has a very easy-to-understand personality, and Anyu is not afraid.

Moreover, aside from Alicia and Kevin... plus half of Aponia, he is indeed harmless in the eyes of these 2.5 people.

[Qian Jie really doesn't need to be afraid. Even though he didn't inherit the memories this time, at the invitation of the Origin, he still became a potential tribulation subject, a future he didn't dislike to begin with.]

[In the past, Alicia was too soft-hearted and couldn't bear to see her friends fall into darkness, but she couldn't change the situation. So, Qianjie joined the Poison Chrysalis and became an ordinary member of the dark side.]

But not all poisonous pupae are mediocre.

As the timeline is stretched out, no one can predict everything.

Unless you're a god, you can't possibly calculate every single word spoken in daily life, because most people are quite spontaneous.

[The Poisonous Pupae department is merely a patchwork department; it's a department that bears the brunt of darkness.]

But since many have willingly taken on this darkness due to various circumstances in life, they have already made a choice in their hearts.

[If it wasn't voluntary, then I'm even more looking forward to the future Alicia depicts, because it sounds like someone who unexpectedly falls into darkness still has a chance to save themselves in the future.]

A few days later, Sakura was holding her phone. (Eight)

On the screen was Alicia's incessant chatter; she desperately wanted her to keep an eye on Qianjie and make him hold back, even though Qianjie wouldn't listen. 2

Qianjie has its own rules of conduct.

Scrolling up the chat history, she briefly reported on something significant regarding the recent situation of the Fire Moth.

Himeko's matter was mentioned only briefly.

Alicia: "Himeko, I hope she succeeds. After all, if she gets out of being single, then besides Kevin, we'll have another couple among us." Ling

Alicia treats everyone like a friend, but for the girl, there are a few special people in her relationships: Mebius, Aponia, Thousand Calamities, herself, Kevin, May, Velvet…

Sakura didn't like thinking about these things, but she had to make the future Alicia spoke of, even briefly, a reality.

Because this would conceal her sins, allowing her to openly tell Ling: "Your sister works in a classified unit."

Sakura: "Will Möbius still be single in the future?" Q

Alicia: "Shocked cat head.jpg"

Alicia: "Why would you have such an absurd idea?"

Sakura: "Recently, a man has been getting very close to the professor."

Alicia: "Waaah, you really have to persuade that warrior not to become the professor's guinea pig without thinking."

Alicia didn't know.

Most people don't know this, but the Poisonous Chrysalis wouldn't overlook anything about the First Laboratory; it's too important.

Sakura didn't think too much about it, but in Alicia's planned future, the Doctor should still be single, so she was going to investigate that boy, which was part of her job.

Sakura was very careful. The man lived with Himeko, who was currently considered her classmate.

So she cautiously approached, intending to talk to Himeko and see if she could bring them together.

Himeko lived in a nearby apartment complex. It seemed she was alone by the motorcycle downstairs. Her voice, slightly drunk, softly called out, "Anyu..."

An Yu... An Yu!

Like a thunderclap exploding in her ears, Sakura's body instantly froze. How could it be An Yu, Alicia's biggest worry...?

Where is An Yu?

"All you need to do now is call my name once," a calm male voice sounded from beside him, carrying a faint sigh. "And I will tell you that I am here."

Upon hearing the sound, Sakura's dagger flashed, and An Yu reached out, thus... simply resolving the battle between the Herrscher and the non-fusion warrior.

The Herrscher of Flame is indeed quite ordinary; a simple phrase like "manipulating molecular motion" doesn't go beyond the description.

While it is theoretically possible to achieve the powers of the Fifth Herrscher, this is only theoretical. To be precise, the Herrscher of Flame accelerates molecular motion, or rather, molecular thermal motion, by manipulating the potential energy between molecules, including the lasers in the Second Honkai Impact.

This is a very ordinary skill, so ordinary that it's just a number. It's purely about heat transfer causing a change in kinetic energy, and you can even charge it up in advance. It's a true Herrscher of the Void for big scenes.

"Steel melts, air distorts, and sound cannot travel."

That's about it.

An Yu casually explained to Himeko, who quickly sobered up.

Where is Sakura?

"I can't leave any trace."

An Yu went home and packed his documents; these were the only things he needed to take with him at the moment.

I was originally planning to collect some sample data from the First Laboratory, but then Sakura came over.

"I'll go and deal with the other traces for you."

"Need not."

"Suit yourself, I'll handle it."

Their conversation remained as concise and to the point as ever.

Volume 1: Chapter 152 (151) I Resigned, the Cold and Aloof Little Professor

[It wouldn't normally be such a troublesome matter, but since Sakura is missing, Alicia will definitely focus her attention on this city.]

[This was the worst-case scenario An Yu had anticipated. He could simply wait for Alicia to return before leaving; he really needed the sample data.]

[Once he left the First Laboratory, he couldn't find such reliable equipment or such an ideal learning environment.]

[That's how it was supposed to be, but Himeko brought over a girl who looked about twelve or thirteen years old, named Ling.]

The girl was timid, her eyes red-rimmed, and faint tear tracks were still visible.

Himeko shrugged. There was nothing she could do; while her personality allowed her to express her anger openly and investigate Sakura's problems, when it came to Sakura's deceased sister, everyone's attention would naturally turn to her first.

Human relationships are truly troublesome; often, after killing one person, to prevent future trouble, one might have to kill the entire family.
