But to be honest, at this moment, Klein really couldn't fully trust this person who almost killed the Herrscher of Thunder and then left the paradise of the past and arrived in the outside world through a shell...

And at this moment, what Klein suspected was that this was another means for Mebius to achieve her so-called rebirth.

However, in response to her question, Dr. Mebius's answer was very straightforward.

[You can choose to leave and tell others what happened here, or dismantle the system of Paradise with your own hands and end it all. ]

[If you just do this... at that moment, the "guinea pig" you care about will definitely die. ]

"He actually threatened his assistant with Mei's life... I somehow feel that this doctor is a bit pitiful."

A bullet screen with moonlight effects floated across the screen...

Kiana's timely complaint instantly made the atmosphere in the live broadcast room become much more awkward.

"Ahahaha... this can only be described as a little awkward?"

“I think it’s a kind of rebellion against superiors.”

"Humph, it's just a hidden danger that must be eliminated."

As comments from the audience floated across the live broadcast room, Mebius also issued a final ultimatum to Klein.

[You just need to admit that there are not many paths we can choose right now... and this is one of them. ]

[As for my "immortality", it's just some... insignificant side effects.]

Klein listened to Mebius's story and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

…She’s right.

In the data space, the only one who can match the Herrscher of Corrosion is another Herrscher of Corrosion.

Finally, Klein's hands moved on the operating table according to Mebius's request.

【Hehe...that's it. 】

Mebius said happily.

But Klein ignored her.

[By the way, Klein...]

But just as Mebius was about to work while talking, she was interrupted by her lovely assistant.

[Please don't disturb me, Mobius. If the number of proliferation does not reach a certain scale, the operation will fail. ]

[Tell me not to bother you? I didn't expect that this day would come... What is this, a role swap? Don't worry, we still have plenty of time...]

It’s just a pity that just when the two of them finally started to cooperate, the Herrscher of Corrosion had already reacted to the crisis.

As Klein's face showed signs of being corroded by Honkai energy, Mebius began to panic.

[It's the Herrscher of Corrosion... Has she discovered us?]

[...Tsk, Klein, get off that machine.]

Mebius gave the order decisively.

But the other party didn't react at all.

【Klein! 】

[…Since she is trying to stop us; then this is indeed an effective solution. ]

At Mebius' call, Klein began to analyze calmly.

[Please don't disturb me... "Doctor."]

Mebius felt a little strange when he heard this name.

Indeed, there were countless days and nights when they stayed in the laboratory like this, trying to solve some difficult problems.

But things are different now. Because of the previous attempt to seize the Herrscher's body, the other party is clearly no longer his only "understanding person".

【......Why?】

Mebius asked.

However, Klein did not answer, but just concentrated on completing his work.

【never mind. 】

Seeing her stubborn look, Mebius sighed.

[Stop right now, Clay. At least now... I still have a way to save you. ]

[I don't need you to copy viruses anymore. Get out of here - destroy all of Leshi's hardware facilities and get out of here.]

This is the most effective solution, and also the most rational and cold-blooded solution.

But Klein chose not to accept it for a very humane reason.

[No, maintaining the Paradise of the Past is the duty that the Doctor has given me. I will not and cannot make decisions on my own.]

Chapter 426 Erosion: Since I can't love everything~let everything disappear!

Faced with Mebius's order, Klein chose to disobey.

But this does not mean that she no longer obeys the Mobius in front of her. It can even be said that she is still loyal to Dr. Mobius.

Still loyal to the mission given by Dr. Mobius.

Even if doing so would make her disobey the mission given to her by Mebius now.

But Klein ultimately chose a less wise approach.

Such "ignorance" really made Mobius not know what to say.

[Do you think you have the same willpower as Ying Jie?! You can't hold on for long. What effect can the number you barely increase have?]

Hearing such a question, Klein actually stopped on his own initiative, raised his head, and looked at Mebius with great respect.

【Because I believe in you. 】

【......What?!】

Such an answer surprised Mebius.

Just when she didn't know what to say, Klein began to talk about his feelings intermittently.

[I... I don't know the reason either. But based on past experience, as long as I can complete my work, no matter how difficult it is, the doctor... or, Mobius... she will definitely be able to solve it.]

[I don't have the "emotional" module. So... this must be a "rational" judgment, not an impulse caused by similar appearance.]

[The probability of success... is at least 70%.]

"A 70% chance? It sounds like a lot, but at what cost?"

A bullet screen with moonlight effects floated across the screen...

It is obvious that at this moment, Kiana feels sympathy for the plight of Mebius and his assistant Klein.

At the same time, she was curious about the cost of doing so.

"That's right, but even 70% doesn't seem to guarantee that Klein and Mobius will be fine."

"I think it's difficult, after all..."

"Heh, is this probability really worth the risk? Destroying the equipment in Paradise is the only solution that will definitely succeed. Why..."

As Mebius and his assistant Klein talked, comments from the audience floated across the live broadcast room.

Moments of life and death like this really reflect the bond between this pair of partners.

At this time, Mebius also realized that he was such a god-like existence in Klein's mind.

Or, in other words, in the eyes of this confidant, Dr. Mebius always makes breakthroughs at critical moments.

So she said nothing more—what else could she say?

Time just passed by - the maintainer of the paradise of the past threw his "vitality" into the abyss of time bit by bit, in exchange for the opportunity to create another "monster".

Her hands moved slower and slower...until they stopped completely.

[Heh...these...should be enough. ]

After producing enough viruses, Klein sat on the ground with his back to the instrument.

At this moment, her eyes were already blurred, and traces of Honkai energy erosion began to spread across her face.

It is conceivable how bad Klein's condition is now.

【Do you know what you have done?】

Seeing this scene, Mebius asked in confusion.

As Klein said, she herself did not have any sensory circuits installed, so at this time she should take the most rational approach - directly destroy the hardware in the paradise and then leave.

Although doing so would sacrifice the Herrscher and everything in the Paradise, it would at least allow her to survive.

But it is obvious that Klein chose the most irrational path.

[That's right, the more the better. ]

She struggled to try to stand up again, but due to the limitations of her own "functions" and the fluctuations of her will, she was not able to do so.

[Enough! You know this is not a rational judgment at all.]

[70%? Destroy the equipment in Paradise. This is the only solution that will definitely succeed. Why not do it that way?!]

In response to Dr. Mebius' questioning, Klein simply responded silently: "Of course there is a reason."

Out of habit, she wanted to find a suitable reason for her choice, because it was Mobius who taught her that "reason should guide behavior no matter what".

But...at this moment, she felt that maybe it didn't matter if she didn't do it this time.

【Maybe, I want to take it as a return gift. 】

[…Return of gift? What, Klein…Has the Herrscher of Corrosion destroyed your thought center?]

And for Klein, perhaps Mebius was right.

However, she still remembered that actually...what the doctor left behind at that time was...not just that video.

【So, I must also...】

[No one is rushing you here.]

Mebius interrupted Klein's next words. She...was almost unable to control her emotions.

However, Klein was already dying, so he had to finish what he had not said.

[At that time, the doctor was supposed to enter the hibernation chamber with us... But when I came to the laboratory again, she was gone...]

[Besides the video you saw, she only left me one sentence... Until now, I have never understood what she meant... At that time, she said...]

The erosion intensified once again, and her language module finally collapsed completely.

【...】

Klein, who could no longer help himself, could only give up on himself inwardly.

[It seems... this is the only way...]

Like the Gray Snake before her, she made the same choice.

The most effective way to stop the spread of the Herrscher of Erosion is to destroy the "carrier".

She pondered her own structure and reached out to the key components that kept it running.

The time is now...

【This is... the end...】

Just as she was about to do so, she found herself losing the ability to move in an instant.

[How could it be...is it too late?]

However, after a brief thought, Klein realized something.

[No... that's not right. The one who took away my ability to move was clearly...]

She turned her surprised eyes to Mebius.

[Is it the "replica" I just multiplied?]
