Their commission was suspicious.

"What? Have we been discovered?" Cang Xuan asked.

"We passed! Yay!" Danzhu suddenly burst into cheers.

"Naughty."

"Luo, you are really amazing. The handwriting of these 100 copies of the lab safety rules is almost exactly the same as mine, and it is also confirmed to be handwritten, not printed, because each of these 100 copies of the lab safety rules is more or less different."

Danzhu was certain that Chen Luo did not write it himself, because logically speaking, Chen Luo simply did not have time to write so much.

By carefully comparing each version of the safety manual, you can see slight differences in the layout.

"Well..." Chen Luo didn't know what to say for a moment.

Are you suggesting that the ones copying the safety rules are the two armed puppets you'll create in the future?

"Beep beep beep!" Chen Luo's communicator suddenly rang.

"Hmm?" Chen Luo received an email, but the sender's ID was a string of gibberish.

It looked incredibly high-class, causing Chen Luo's eyes to narrow involuntarily.

Then... the Herrscher of Corruption's ability activated instantly, and she instantly hacked into the device that sent the email, following the signal.

Almost instantly, Chen Luo saw the sender's face through the hacked device's camera and copied all the top-secret information from the device.

LOL, who are you talking to?

Just as Chen Luo was thinking about whether to surprise the other party through the internet, Mebius came out of the lounge.

“You received that notification too, right? Let’s go,” Möbius said to Chen Luo.

"Oh? You received it too?" Chen Luo was surprised.

"It was sent to me first, just as the letter said, inviting us to discuss matters related to the surgery. It concerns the fusion surgery from yesterday, where no one died, but it was also unsuccessful," Möbius said after glancing at Chen Luo.

"Doctor, Doctor, have you really developed a technique that guarantees the other person won't die even though the fusion surgery itself might fail?" Danzhu asked, raising her hand.

“Ask him about this, why are you asking me?” Mebius said, pointing at Chen Luo.

"Ugh?"

Chapter 420 Möbius, you didn't want Chen Luo to be...

"Stay calm when you get there. Don't worry, everything will be fine," Möbius told Chen Luo as they walked.

"Don't worry, I'm not afraid."

“…I’m telling you not to be impulsive, not to slap him to death,” Mebius said coldly.

LOL, who cares if you're scared? Shouldn't the other person be the one who's scared?

"Wow, this is the first time I've ever faced a high-ranking official like this. The highest-ranking person I've ever met before was a school principal. Can't you at least offer me some comfort?" Chen Luo said pitifully.

"Oh? Comfort you? How?" Möbius glanced at Chen Luo.

Möbius was somewhat interested in Chen Luo's request.

"For example... issuing a commission?" Chen Luo gave an example.

"Get lost." After hearing a response that was completely different from what he had expected, Möbius simply ignored Chen Luo.

"Oh dear, don't be so short-tempered. The world is so wonderful, yet you're so irritable. That's not good."

"Speaking of which, Mebius, are you really not going to take the blame for this?" Chen Luo asked.

"I don't have any technology to turn people into dolls, nor can I bring dolls back to life indefinitely, nor do I have any technology to save their lives after a failed surgery. So please forgive me for being unable to help."

“But I’m an unregistered resident. And I feel like they’ve already found out that the identity document Mei gave me is fake,” Chen Luo said.

"So what? Although they aren't interested in what those people are thinking, they'll use anything they can get their hands on. To them, if such technology really exists, you would undoubtedly be a very useful tool, especially since you don't have any background yet."

"At worst, they can just treat you as an alien, right? As long as it brings them benefits, aliens will also use them. So as long as you have the technology, you don't need to worry about your safety."

"Of course, you don't need to worry. In fact, they are the ones who should be worried."

Therefore, scientists still need to have some self-protection ability, just like Möbius.

If Chen Luo truly had no strength at all but revealed this special ability, he might have been kept in captivity, but in the present situation...

"Aliens? Qian Jie?" Upon hearing this word, a figure instantly popped into Chen Luo's mind.

"Who is Qianjie?" Mebius frowned.

"I almost forgot, you don't seem to know Qianjie yet, but it's not a big deal. Let's not discuss that now. Anyway, you've already met people from other worlds, so aliens seem much more normal now, right?" Chen Luo tried to change the subject.

“That’s true. Speaking of which, Teyvat is the same world as us, right? Is it a complete world of pillars, or an incomplete bubble world? Logically speaking, a bubble world should be an unqualified world that was filtered out by the Honkai… But if it’s a complete real world, it doesn’t seem quite right…” After reading the book that Chen Luo lent to Möbius, Möbius suddenly became interested in the relationship between worlds.

Or perhaps it was precisely because Möbius witnessed the infinite world that he developed an even greater desire for even more infinity.

"How would I know if you ask me that? But there is one thing I need to tell you: the development of Honkai will increase as civilization progresses."

"Oh? Is that so?" Mebius frowned upon hearing this explanation.

Mebius is currently at a point in time where the Seventh Herrscher has just been dealt with, and at most he can only sense that these Herrschers are becoming increasingly difficult to deal with.

It's a bit difficult to deduce from this that the Honkai will increase as civilization advances.

In fact, if they had known about this at the end, they would not have carried out the Fire Seed Project.

"Therefore, the knowledge I'm showing you cannot be seen or spread by others. Otherwise, it's hard to imagine how far the collapse of this world would go."

"Understood." Möbius nodded lazily.

Möbius had little interest in disseminating this knowledge.

After carefully observing Möbius for a while and confirming that the other party really had no such intentions, Chen Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Luo originally wanted to sign a contract with the other party, but then felt that it seemed a bit excessive.

Moreover, Chen Luo felt that Mebius himself was quite sensible.

Well, I'll bring up the contract with her again when she's working on her next book.

Mebius finally stopped, and Chen Luo looked up and saw an office that looked quite grand and luxurious from the outside.

Mebius then knocked on the door and entered.

It seems a bit impolite, but it's also very Möbius-esque.

Of course, it's also possible that it's because Mebius doesn't get along with these higher-ups.

Two minutes later, Chen Luo finally came out of the office.

"Hey, Snake, didn't you tell me to calm down? Why are you so irrational?" Chen Luo complained to Mebius as he walked out of the office.

“Just a bunch of boring humans, all they do is fight for power and profit. There’s no need to waste too much time on them.” Möbius never hid his disdain for such people in his words.

"But you don't have to be so reckless!"

“But hasn’t the problem already been solved?” Mebius asked.

"Ah, it's solved, but..."

Chen Luo couldn't help but recall what had happened in those two minutes.

First, enter the room.

Next, behind the desk sat a middle-aged man who appeared somewhat gloomy and possessed a touch of domineering aura. Beside the middle-aged man stood a young man who looked like a secretary.

This young man was the man Chen Luo could see by eroding the Lawyer's power, the one who sent him emails.

The man began to introduce himself to Chen Luo and Mebius, this middle-aged man with a slightly domineering air.

Chen Luo didn't really hear who the other party was, but he sensed that after Mebius came in, he seemed to be quite disdainful of them.

Chen Luo always felt that the two of them had some kind of grudge.

After the secretary finished the introduction, the middle-aged man took out a copy of the ID and threw it in front of Chen Luo. Chen Luo immediately recognized the copy of his ID.

The opening statement was a show of force.

These photocopied documents indicate that the other party knew Chen Luo was an unregistered resident.

This also serves to put pressure on Mebius.

The other party's goal was simple: to obtain, like Mebius, a method that would allow the other party to survive even if the surgery failed.

"Don't tell me you didn't, you won't believe me and I won't believe you either, Mebius, something like fusion surgery shouldn't exist among the Moths of Fire."

In fact, fusion surgery has been rejected by many people from the very beginning.

Not to mention fusion surgery, even some of the plans that Mei had previously advocated, which were not as radical as fusion surgery, were extremely rejected by certain groups of the Fire Moth.

For example, Sakura's assassination attempt on Mei was inspired by this.

After Sakura's employer's plan went bankrupt, Sakura was supposed to eliminate him according to Mei's orders, but for some reason, he disappeared after the news leaked out.

As for the other party's current fate...

At the behest of certain high-ranking officials who were eager to follow the trend, they returned to their original positions as if nothing had happened.

The waters of the moth that chases the flame are truly deep.

Among the Moths of Fire, there are many fierce opponents of the Fusion Warriors program, which dehumanizes people, such as the employer mentioned earlier.

It is said that this is to ensure the purity of humanity.

Chen Luo agreed with this... just like Chen Luo's current body is still that of an ordinary person.

But Chen Luo wouldn't be as radical as them, after all, he was about to lose his life.

If fighting the Honkai requires humanity to cease to be human, then it's better for humanity to become extinct!

It is quite obvious that the high-ranking member of the Firemoth is biased towards the employer's camp, or at least not towards the faction of May and Mebius.

However, the other party was smarter and of a higher status than the employer.

Perhaps the other party is just using this technology and this surgery as a bargaining chip to achieve their own ambitions?

The fact that the other party could speak to Mebius in such a commanding tone indicates that the other party held a rather high position.

The conversation was going well, and Mebius was willing to explain the situation to the other party.

but……

“Mebius, you wouldn’t want this Lo beside you to disappear without a trace one day, would you? You know you’ve become a Fusion Warrior, but what about him? An undocumented immigrant with no connections, a mere officially employed assistant in the lab, an ordinary person with no weapons…”

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo knew that the conversation was coming to an end.

Upon hearing this, Mebius stood up with a somewhat cold expression. The dark shadow beneath him was faintly visible. His face was somewhat angry, but his eyes grew even colder.

“Mébius, this is the Moth of Fire.” The high-ranking official said nothing, yet it was as if he had said everything.

This is the Moth of Fire, and even the strongest individual cannot withstand the power of the entire Moth of Fire.

There are limits to an individual's power.

This high-ranking official claimed that even without overwhelming power, the influence of his authority was enough to restrain these "lower-level" individuals who only knew how to act recklessly or conduct research.

At least in the early stages, the higher-ups of Firemoth still dominated the development of the entire Firemoth.

However, Mei has not yet developed into the leader of the moths that chase the flame.

After a moment of silence, the shadow beneath Mebius slowly returned to normal.

The high-ranking official was quite satisfied with this situation.

A method for fusion surgery that will not cause death may soon be developed, and it will be exclusively in our own hands.

One can gain immense power without the risk of death, simply by avoiding any human intervention...

No, it doesn't need to be completely free of the risk of death, as long as there's a certain probability...

As long as those who sign up for the experiment believe they have no worries, the truth doesn't matter.

We just need to frequently present examples of people who survived despite failed surgeries, making them more convinced...

Those who want to obtain this power will be endless!

This will become the power that allows him to gradually control the Fire-Chasing Moth.

A smile involuntarily appeared on the face of this high-ranking official.

There are limits to an individual's strength.
