Their commission was suspicious.

If a doll dies outside, under the default circumstances, it will directly possess the doll collection.

Chen Luo would only allow them to revive on the spot if the other party made a special request, but revival also takes time.

In an instant, a large number of dead people flooded in, causing Chen Luo's magical power to continuously decline, because resurrection also required Chen Luo to pay a price.

Later, Chen Luo simply threw the Holy Grail into the doll collection and then equipped it with the Prism Universe, using the magic within the Holy Grail as the price to construct their physical bodies.

It must be said that Sakura was swift and decisive, causing no pain to the children, so they died peacefully.

“If I take on a physical form, can I call Aponia over? I think Aponia might really want to meet the children,” Alicia asked.

No one can refuse Alicia; this is the law of Moth of Flames. And the reason this law exists is naturally because Alicia loves everyone and thinks of everyone.

Although Aponia had witnessed many tragedies in her life, the one that left the deepest impression on her was the incident in which her own foolish actions led to the complete annihilation of the sanatorium.

Of course, there's also the incident where the soldiers were given a strict order not to give up hope of fighting the Honkai, which resulted in Sakura's sister being brutally killed by the soldiers.

The second thing was that after Chen Luo had Raven return Ling, Aponia felt somewhat relieved.

Furthermore, among all the heroes, Aponia is one of the few who has a compensatory mentality and has compensated Ling the most.

For example, Ling's room is almost overflowing with handicrafts made by Aponia herself.

Therefore, this sanatorium is now the only thing Aponia can't bear to part with.

“Of course you can. Or rather… you might not need to notify Aponia; Aponia will arrive on her own soon,” Chen Luo said.

"And coincidentally, I also need Aponia's help in some way."

As Chen Luo had expected, while he and the others were watching the deadly duel between Qian Jie and Ying, the wind chimes rang not long afterward. Aponia slowly pushed open the door and entered, looking at the battle that was about to end on the screen.

"Do you know what happened?" Chen Luo asked.

"I already know this from Qianjie."

"Do you know what the Human Orange Project is?"

“I’ve heard a little about it,” Aponia said.

"Did you know that I've already fed the people at the nursing home orange juice ahead of time?"

"This is probably why you went to the sanatorium for the first time, thank you." Aponia looked at Chen Luo gently.

“No need to thank me. Well… would you mind waiting a little longer? If you want to see the children, you might have to wait another night. I’m not in my true form right now. How about I take you to see the children who have fully recovered tomorrow night?” Chen Luo said.

Restoring the children's bodies isn't difficult, but Chen Luo needs Aponia's help with something.

“If I can wait 5 years, then I certainly don’t mind waiting one more night.” Aponia nodded, as calm as ever.

However, Chen Luo could see the slight anxiety hidden beneath Aponi's calm exterior.

“I know you’re in a hurry, but don’t rush. How about we use this time to discuss the possibility of deceiving Aponia?” Chen Luo invited Aponia.

"Let Aponia deceive Aponia?" Aponia smiled.

"What's wrong? Is it not allowed?"

“It is feasible, but why don’t you use a more convenient method to solve it?” Aponia asked.

"An even more convenient method?" Chen Luo asked.

If there is a more convenient method, then of course we should use the more convenient method.

“Hmm, for example… um… [Aponia, you don’t want to never see the children again, do you?]” Aponia paused for a moment before speaking softly.

Aponia’s words were soft and gentle, devoid of any emotion, as if none of it concerned him.

"???"

Chen Luo felt that his reputation had been instantly damaged.

The way people are looking at him like he's scum is proof of that.

"!!!"

Chapter 776 Stubborn Mebius

"Hahaha, Lolo, you've actually been locked up in an interrogation room for serious criminals." Alicia sat opposite Chen Luo and laughed as she looked at him through the wall.

It just wouldn't stop.

Since this was an interrogation room used to detain serious criminals, there was a partition wall with iron bars between Chen Luo's side and the interrogator's side.

Hearing Alicia's clear and melodious laughter, Chen Luo couldn't muster any enthusiasm at all.

Ah, I'm going to die if no one hugs me.

This was Chen Luo's first thought after waking up in the morning.

Although Aponia caused some damage to Chen Luo's reputation yesterday, Chen Luo managed to turn things around in time.

Well, it was almost midnight, so Chen Luo just sent them away.

As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

I couldn't hold it in, I really couldn't hold it in.

Hearing those words from an honest man like Aponia was truly unbearable.

And when Chen Luo woke up in the morning, he was mocked by Alicia, which made him feel even worse.

This was the first time in a long time that Chen Luo hadn't slept at home, and it was also the first time Chen Luo woke up in the morning to find that he had nothing in his arms.

“Doctor…” Hua looked at Chen Luo through the window.

Are you alright?

"Nothing happened, at least I wasn't hit by a hammer through a thick book and left with no visible injuries, nor was I starved to death. At least I had some instant noodles to eat," Chen Luo said as he got out of bed and sat down in his chair.

“That sounds pretty bad,” Alicia said.

“If it weren’t for your voice mocking me so early in the morning, I wouldn’t be in such a bad situation, dear Miss Alicia.”

"Is Lolo angry? Even our dear Miss Alicia said it out loud." Alicia leaned closer to Chen Lolo and said.

"I'm not angry, but I'd be even happier if you could give me the breakfast you're holding," Chen Luo said, pointing to the breakfast skewer in Alicia's hand.

In previous civilizations, Chen Luo would typically disable all his abilities and lower his physical fitness to a minimum.

At least that's how it appears from the outside.

After all, this is the place where the world's top geniuses gather, and the various inspection devices are so tight that they are unimaginable. Any slight energy fluctuation will be detected, and now there is also a 24/7 surveillance system monitoring Chen Luo.

Although Chen Luo's physical body is currently suppressed to the lowest point, his mental state is exceptionally active, at least enough to ensure that he will immediately detect any danger.

Therefore, Chen Luo didn't need to worry about his safety, since he could be resurrected after death.

Because his current physical condition is only at the level of an ordinary person, Chen Luo also gets hungry.

"Here you go. I've been restless ever since I heard you were captured in the middle of the night, but as someone you're close to, I needed to avoid suspicion, so I could only visit you now. As soon as you were unsealed, I brought breakfast right away. Hurry up and say thank you, world's cutest Alicia." Alicia handed the breakfast to Chen Luo, but just as he was about to take it, she quickly took it back.

"Yes, yes, thank you, Miss Alicia, the world's cutest girl. Long live Miss Alicia!" Chen Luo said listlessly.

"Although it felt a bit perfunctory, at least it was something nice said. I recorded it," Alicia said, waving the communicator in her hand.

"Is it really necessary? In the entire Firemoth, there are plenty of people praising you every day," Chen Luo said as he took Alicia's breakfast.

“That’s different. You’re my best friend,” Alicia said, blinking.

"I'm honored to be Miss Alicia's best friend, but why won't you let go?" Chen Luo asked, looking at Alicia's stubborn refusal to let go of the breakfast in her hand.

"Waiting for someone."

"Waiting for someone?"

Just as Chen Luo finished asking his question, the interrogation room door was pushed open, and Möbius, carrying a breakfast, walked in.

Mebius paused for a moment as he watched Chen Luo take the breakfast from Alicia's hands.

"Did I come at the wrong time?" Möbius asked coldly.

"No, you've come at just the right time."

Alicia! You tricked me!

Chen Luo had reason to suspect that Alicia knew in advance that Mebius had bought breakfast for him, which was why she kept clinging to the breakfast.

"Just a little reminder, I actually ran into Dr. Möbius at the restaurant this morning. When I saw her going to the restaurant, I knew she was there specifically to buy you breakfast."

"You know, it's extremely rare for Mebius to eat alone in a restaurant. And her purpose might not be to eat breakfast herself, but to bring you breakfast. As for why she did that? Even a beautiful girl has her own little schemes." Alicia whispered a few words to Chen Luo in his ear before letting go of the breakfast in her hand.

So your little scheme was just to mess with me, right?

Chen Luo couldn't help but sigh that the world was truly too dark these days.

Seeing Chen Luo's rather intimate conversation with Alicia, which was clearly something he didn't want him to hear, Mebius's expression grew even colder.

However, contrary to Alicia's expectations, Mebius's cold gaze was not directed at Chen Luo, but at herself.

This made Alicia start to wonder if her plan had failed.

Is it no longer fashionable to use someone else to do your dirty work?

"Stay here quietly for a while, and you'll be able to leave soon," Möbius said, standing at the door.

“I have an experiment to do, so I won’t stay here with you. Alicia and Hua should be enough for you,” Mebius said.

Seeing that Mebius was about to leave with breakfast, Chen Luo quickly called out to him.

“Then Snake, you should leave your breakfast here,” Chen Luo said.

"This is breakfast for Klein, why are you eating it? And don't you already have breakfast?" Mebius said irritably.

"Dr. Mebius, are you here to bring breakfast to Junior Brother too? Senior Sister Klein even asked us to bring him breakfast after we finished eating together, but it seems we don't need to." Danzhu's voice rang out, and a moment later Danzhu's little head appeared in Chen Luo's line of sight.

"..."

"..."

An eerie silence fell over the interrogation room.

The fact that Danzhu and Cangxuan were able to come here fully proves that the Fire-Chasing Moths did not conduct a strict investigation of Chen Luo, and that even ordinary researchers within the Fire-Chasing Moths could come and go freely.

The fact that Chen Luo is still imprisoned here is more symbolic.

However, this also creates a problem: with more people visiting, it's easy for some collisions to occur.

"Danzhu, could you also bring me the breakfast that the Doctor is holding?" Chen Luo said to Danzhu.

"Can you finish two breakfasts? Why don't you share half with me?"

"It's not two breakfasts, it's three breakfasts to be precise." Chen Luo mentioned the other breakfast for Alicia in his hand, which Danzhu couldn't see because he had put his hand down.

"This...can you finish it?"

"Whether you can finish it or not, just bring it over first."

"Alright. No wasting food. If you beg me, I might be willing to help you a little." As Danzhu spoke, she took the breakfast from Mebius's hand, then skipped over to Chen Luo and passed the breakfast through the wide-open fence.

"Phew..." Chen Luo felt more at ease than ever before after receiving three breakfasts.

Although three breakfasts were indeed a lot, at least Mebius had his breakfast in his hands.

Congratulations! Congratulations!

"Danzhu, I like you so much."

"Huh?" Danzhu was startled.

Mebius glanced at him coldly.

"Yes, I mainly like your thoughtfulness and liveliness."

I mainly like your lively and mischievous nature, which can disrupt any situation.

"Oh dear, next time don't take such long breaths, just say it all in one go, okay?" Danzhu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, right, I brought you breakfast this time. According to your Chinese proverb, 'A drop of water in need is a spring of water in return,' you should bring us more breakfast next time. You haven't brought us breakfast at all, haven't you noticed?" Danzhu said with a hint of resentment.

"Okay, okay." Chen Luo nodded quickly.

I am so grateful to the girl for saving my life. I would give you more than just a few breakfasts; I could fill the entire lab with breakfasts.

"Alright, stop chatting. Luo, it's time for your breakfast." Mebius stood there with his arms crossed, watching the sinking figure intently.
