Their commission was suspicious.

Aside from all sorts of strange and unusual knowledge, the vast majority of the mastery-level knowledge from Möbius was sufficient to solve everything.

"Wait, do you want to become a doctor, or do you want to be a person who wants to become a doctor?" Danzhu suddenly asked.

"Huh? There's a difference?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

“Of course there’s a difference. One became a PhD through his own efforts, and the other became a PhD through someone else’s own efforts,” Danzhu said.

"...You might as well explain it more clearly."

"Oh dear, how could you be so dense? The former refers to you becoming a doctor, and the latter refers to you becoming Dr. Möbius's boyfriend. To be honest, I feel like the way the doctor looks at you is a little strange. The latter option might actually come to fruition faster than the former," Danzhu whispered to Chen Luo.

"..." Chen Luo remained silent.

"Danzhu!" A cold voice rang out behind Danzhu.

"!!!" Danzhu felt a chill run down his spine.

Chen Luo sat in his seat and blinked innocently.

I didn't do anything; Danzhu was the one who said those things.

"Is Luo here?" someone suddenly asked at the lab door.

"Yes, yes." Upon hearing the outsider's voice, Danzhu felt as if she had seen a savior and hurriedly ran towards the laboratory door.

"Are you Luo?" the visitor asked.

"No, I'm Luo's senior sister. Just tell me what's wrong." Feeling the still cold gaze from Mebius behind her, Danzhu quickly said.

"Then please tell Luo that there is a fusion surgery in 20 minutes, and he needs to perform it himself," the visitor said.

"Huh? But my junior brother has already used up all his resurrection cards for today, and he might not be very skilled at fusion surgery." Danzhu was somewhat surprised.

In fact, in Danzhu's mind, Chen Luo may have only observed many fusion surgeries, while the one who actually performed the fusion surgery was Dr. Mebius.

"What we want is Luo, who has already used up all his resurrection cards," the newcomer said.

"Ugh?"

"Otherwise, why would we give away a free fusion surgery with a guarantee of survival to an outsider?" the Moth of Fire soldier whispered.

"outsider?"

"That's right, the one undergoing the fusion surgery this time is the culprit who caused the collapse of Twilight Street and was captured a couple of days ago—Aponia! The higher-ups' intention is to have her undergo the fusion surgery, regardless of whether she lives or dies, as punishment. If she survives and becomes a fusion warrior, she can make amends; if she dies, then it's just fate playing tricks on her."

"The higher-ups think this is a good opportunity to give Luo Lian some practice. If he can survive without dying, it would be a bit of a problem, so wouldn't that become a reward?"

"Furthermore, the higher-ups have heard that Luo is very eager to become a doctor, so they have promised that if he can complete the fusion surgery and all the procedures on his own, regardless of success or failure, he will be given a special direct doctoral promotion quota. If he performs well and makes outstanding contributions, he can be directly promoted to a doctor and will receive a formal doctoral certificate, as well as corresponding privileges and benefits," said the Moth of Fire soldier in charge of relaying the order.

After seeing off the Moth of Fire soldier, the Book of Azure returned.

"Junior brother, you really can become a doctor this time," Cangxuan Zhishu said to Chen Luo.

“Danju, you…” Mebius was somewhat angry.

Once was unintentional, but twice was intentional.

Mebius suspected that Danju was mocking him.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Doctor! Junior Brother will definitely not become Doctor's person." Danzhu quickly admitted defeat.

"Dan! Zhu!" To Dan Zhu's surprise, Möbius's eyes turned even colder after hearing his words.

This time, there was a hint of murderous intent in Mebius's eyes.

"Hey, why are you still angry? I've already apologized." Danzhu was on the verge of tears.

You're unhappy when someone tells your junior colleague to become a PhD, but you're even angrier when someone tells him not to.

Ah, the professor is so hard to please.

"..." Upon hearing the commotion and rushing over, Cang Xuan couldn't help but cover his forehead upon seeing the scene.

If his sister had even half of his will to live, she wouldn't be dancing around on his grave like that.

Silly little sister.

At first, what you said to the doctor might have made Dr. Möbius suspect that you were subtly criticizing her.

But the power of that phrase later... was roughly equivalent to wishing a centenarian a long and healthy life at their birthday banquet.

“Recite the lab safety rules 100 times. No, 200 times. And this afternoon, accompany me to do an experiment.” Möbius said, “kindly” patting Danju on the shoulder.

"It hurts so much, and what kind of experiment is this?" Danzhu's brain was trembling.

"It's just a routine experiment. There might be a tiny bit of danger, though. Don't worry, at worst you'll just lose an arm," Möbius said nonchalantly.

"!!!"

Chapter 829 Chen Luo: Save the mother or the child?

"What are you doing?"

"Copying as punishment."

"Whose punishment was writing?"

"My senior sister's punishment of writing."

Why did you have to do the writing assignments that your senior sister was supposed to do as punishment?

"Naturally, it's because he forced me to copy it for her in the name of my senior sister." Chen Luo looked up at the woman with a faint sorrow on her face.

"Really? I never thought you were the type to be threatened like this, Luo." Aponia, dressed in a hospital gown, tilted her head and said.

"Then I can only say you're right. To be honest, she treated me to dinner and I helped her with copying as punishment. But this is the umpteenth time she's done this, and she's never treated me to anything." Chen Luo said with a hint of emotion.

Although Cangxuan and Danzhu have never invited him to a meal, and in most cases he declined because they invited him but he didn't have time, Chen Luo still felt a pang of regret.

Danzhu successfully angered Möbius, and after Möbius returned to the lounge, Danzhu naturally turned to Chen Luo for help.

Danzhu had become accustomed to relying on Chen Luo for these 200 repetitions of punishment, and Chen Luo had never refused.

Anyway, Chen Luo really has to help Dan Zhu copy the punishment 100 times this time.

Chen Luo found this mission, assigned by the world, increasingly absurd every time he thought about it.

However, aside from Chen Luo having to copy it 100 times, there were still 100 times.

The remaining 100 repetitions could only be written by Danzhu, who was working at St. Freya Academy.

It might be understandable for others to be punished by copying, but Danzhu's punishment was purely due to his inability to perform the action.

“Lo, I’m leaving Aponia to you,” said the Moth member who was standing next to Aponia.

Chen Luo was the surgeon who performed the fusion surgery, while Aponia was the experimental subject of the fusion surgery.

“That should be my line.” Alicia, standing next to her, couldn’t help but puff out her cheeks.

“Alice, the higher-ups now forbid you from being within five meters of Aponia, and the two of you are not allowed to communicate except in special circumstances. There’s nothing I can do,” the female Firemoth soldier said helplessly.

“Yesterday, under your guidance, Aponia explored almost half of the Firemoth. Even if she didn’t know the secrets of the Firemoth before, she probably does now. The higher-ups are having a headache about this. That’s why they made this rule, to avoid putting me in a difficult position.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t make things difficult for you. Please tell Aponia that I will be waiting outside the operating room for her good news, just like the anxious family members of patients waiting for her safe return. The difference is that I believe Aponia will succeed,” Alicia said.

"..." The female Fire Moth soldier sighed.

They said they asked you to help pass on the message, but the distance between the two of you was no more than 5 meters.

Don't think you can escape the constraints of higher authorities with such a superficial approach!

Well, she actually managed to escape. After all, this is Alicia, and who can control Alicia?

"Thank you," Aponia said with a smile to Alicia.

The female soldiers of the Fire Moths couldn't help but look at Alicia.

"Tell Aponia she's welcome. By the way, if she really wants to express her gratitude, then after she becomes a Fusion Warrior, I'll take her to see the rest of the Firemoth that we haven't visited yet," Alicia said with a smile.

"You two are really something," Chen Luo remarked from the side.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Luo also put down his pen.

"It's hard to imagine that copying as punishment could be such a painful thing."

Although Chen Luo took on many copying tasks related to Danzhu, most of them were simply direct copies, or he had Cangxuan Danzhu and the others write them themselves.

Actually, copying as punishment isn't too difficult; the difficulty lies in imitating Danzhu's handwriting.

"I'll tell Danzhu about how hard you've put into writing for her punishment. Good luck." Alicia clenched her fist at Chen Luo.

"...Let's go, Aponia. Whether we'll see the sun tomorrow depends on the outcome of this surgery." Chen Luo said to Aponia as he walked towards the operating room.

“Let’s go, follow him inside,” the female Firemoth soldier said, supervising as she followed behind Aponia.

In the assessment of the Firemoth, Aponia is somewhat considered a dangerous figure.

Although no abnormalities were found after a long period of investigation, it is undeniable that Aponia caused the Honkai. Even if that is the only reason, Aponia is a dangerous person.

Among the Firemoths, almost all the soldiers hate the Honkai. The fact that this female Firemoth soldier is speaking to Aponia in a relatively gentle manner is because Alicia is by her side.

Under the supervision of the female Firemoth soldiers, Aponia entered the operating room.

Just as Alicia was about to follow, she was stopped by a female soldier.

“Alice, you can’t come in anymore,” the female soldier said.

"Oh, I just wanted to go in and see what the operating room looks like, I'll be right out."

“That won’t work either. From now on, there can only be three people in this operating room: Aponia, Lo, and me.” The female soldier shook her head.

“Alright.” Alicia nodded, no longer pressing the issue.

As the operating room doors closed, silence fell over the room, the only sound being Chen Luo putting on his protective gear.

Chen Luo was in charge of performing the surgery, Aponia was the one being operated on, and the Fire Moth soldier was responsible for observing and recording.

Surgery is a very private matter, and apart from essential personnel, no family members of the patient should be present.

The female soldier's role was twofold: first, to ensure that Aponia wouldn't attack Chen Luo during the surgery and then take him hostage. While this possibility is small, it's not impossible.

Secondly, observe whether there are any abnormalities in Chen Luo's surgical steps, and then describe them orally at the report meeting to determine Chen Luo's proficiency in fusion surgery.

Given the way the "Moth Chasing the Flame" organization sometimes doesn't seem to care much about human rights when it comes to criminals, they should have just put a camera here for a clearer view.

Furthermore, if successful, the video could be used as a case study for analysis, but Alicia rejected it outright.

[It's already outrageous enough that a young woman underwent fusion surgery performed by a man, but to add cameras to the scene is even more egregious.]

While ordinary surgeries involve covering the patient's body with a thick sheet and making incisions only at the sites where surgery is needed, fusion surgery is clearly not an ordinary procedure.

It was a rather strange insistence, but the higher-ups actually compromised. You could only say that Alicia is truly worthy of the name.

"Get some sleep. Either you'll wake up reborn, or you'll never wake up again," Chen Luo said to Aponia, who was already lying in the hospital bed.

“I believe you can do it,” Aponia said calmly.

"Don't say that. I don't even have much confidence in myself. This is the first time I've performed a fusion surgery without Dr. Mebius's supervision and guidance. Besides, we've used up all our resurrection cards. If the surgery fails, you might really die," Chen Luo said seriously.

“I believe you can do it,” Aponia repeated.

"Alright, alright, I'll try my best then. The surgery might hurt a little, just bear with it. Now go to sleep," Chen Luo said to Aponia, whose anesthesia was gradually taking effect.

Aponia nodded gently and then closed her eyes.

"Now I'm going to begin," Chen Luo said to the female Fire Moth soldier who was holding a small notebook.

"Please," the female Firemoth soldier said kindly.

Although Chen Luo's reputation among the Fire Moths is not as high as Alicia's, it is still quite good.

After all, Chen Luo is now essentially saving at least three lives every day.

And who knows, this female Moth of Fire soldier might end up on Chen Luo's operating table at any time.

Before starting the fusion surgery, Chen Luo first routinely injected a sufficient amount of doll imprints into Aponia's body.

In any case, these doll marks won't turn Aponia into a doll as long as she doesn't die, so it's fine to use them as a form of insurance.

As for the input of the doll imprint, the female Fire Moth soldier who was observing the situation could not detect anything unusual.

If necessary, the doll imprint can also be invisible and material.

As the surgery progressed and Honkai Beast genes were injected, even with anesthesia, Aponia's face showed a painful expression.
