"Iris scanning? Just like the lab in Canghai City before. I wonder if my current iris scan is still good enough."

Li Mo walked forward and let the scanning machine scan his eyes.

The next second, the machine issued a prompt sound allowing passage, and the door slowly opened.

The room was pitch black, without a trace of light.

As soon as Li Mo walked in, he was dragged and pushed onto the table to lie down.

Then the lights came on, and it was very dazzling.

"Haha, little white mouse, you really know how to cause trouble to others. What will you pay this time?" Mebius put his hands on Li Mo's shoulders and leaned down. The heavy mountain on his chest almost made Li Mo breathless.

The emerald green eyes looked carefully from top to bottom, and finally fixed their gaze on Li Mo's increasingly attractive pink eyes.

"Hmm~hmm~" Mebius sniffed gently and said jokingly, "Why do you smell like a fragrance? This smell is not right, like poppy..."

Li Mo had nowhere to put his hands and wanted to push Mebius away, but his shoulders were held down and the only place his hands could reach was her chest.

It can kill people if you encounter it.

Although he could break free with a little effort, he was still living under someone else's roof and had something to ask for, so he couldn't offend the other person too much.

"I thought you were only so bold on the operating table. So... my dear Mebius, do you have the confidence to put my clothes back on?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mo was moved to the operating table by Mebius. The corners of Mebius' mouth curled up wildly, and his mature face showed an intoxicated expression.

"I don't know, but I can't stop~"

"嘤咛!"

"It hurts a little, bear with it..."

Li Mo tried to keep his body as relaxed as possible.

Under the light, the scalpel had a frosty white luster. The chest was cut open, and test tubes were inserted into the brain and various parts of the body, constantly monitoring Li Mo's physical data.

The extracted blood, the moment it came into contact with a fragment of the collapsed crystal, completely swallowed up its flickering purple light.

……

……

A few hours later, Li Mo came down from the operating table in disheveled clothes.

Mebius was carefully processing the experimental data while the instant noodles beside him had completely cooled down.

"..."

After sensing that Mebius had no intention of leaving or communicating with him, Li Mo left the laboratory on his own and followed the signs to the kitchen.

There are very few dishes in the kitchen.

Doesn’t Fire Moth have a dedicated chef for its experimenters?

Li Mo didn't understand.

"There are still eggs, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. But why are they almost expired? How long has it been since Mobius cooked..."

This kitchen is very fully equipped. It has everything except ingredients, except for people.

"Forget it, I can still make fried rice with egg."

Li Mo is very confident in his cooking skills. When he lived with Hua before, he would cook for Hua when his uncle was not around, and he was very good at grasping the taste.

While waiting, Li Mo walked into the medical room.

Hua's father's body was filled with various life-sustaining devices. Of course, it didn't matter whether they were used or not, because there was nothing wrong with his body, only his consciousness had not yet recovered.

Li Mo: "Klein, how is my uncle doing now?"

Klein: "Hmm... not too good, not too bad either. While there's nothing serious wrong with him—his heart, organs, and everything else, including his brain, are all very healthy—certain parts of his brain are no longer active. We can only continue to observe."

"He is indeed still alive. If I must give a definition, he is a dead person in the body of a living person."

Li Mo: "Can he be saved? It's very important to me that he's alive."

Klein: "I'm sorry, but it seems to me that he's dead. Perhaps the doctor has a solution. After all, the doctor's specialty is studying life."

Li Mo: "Is that so? Okay, the egg fried rice is ready. Klein, are you hungry?"

Klein: “…”

Li Mo: "Eat more, kid, to grow up. Come, brother will take you to eat the egg fried rice I made."

Klein: "No, I'll stay here... The doctor went on vacation to Shenzhou to avoid the work assigned by the Fire Moth. The deadline for those tasks is tomorrow night. There's too much work, so I have to work overtime to finish it before I can go to bed."

Li Mo: "What about dinner?"

Klein: "Let's eat after we're done..."

Li Mo: “…”

What a poor child.

After hearing Klein's statement, Li Mo couldn't help but sigh at the tyranny of Mebius!

Such a young child has to work overtime all night without even having time to eat.

Is the work intensity of Fire Moth so high?

Or maybe Mebius was simply too lazy and had too many work documents piled up.

But Mebius looked so serious that he didn't even glance at the cold instant noodles on the table. He didn't look like a lazy person at all.

it's wired.

Li Mo brought a bowl of hot egg fried rice from the kitchen, then walked over to Klein and placed him on his lap.

"No, I'll feel sleepy after eating, and my work efficiency will drop. I won't be able to finish the work, and then they will criticize my doctor again..." Klein struggled and pushed away the bowl and spoon handed to him by Li Mo.

Li Mo looked at Klein with a doting look. He hugged Klein and gently touched Klein's small head. "It's okay. Just keep working. I'll feed you."

Klein didn't refuse. He was willing to do anything as long as it didn't delay his work.

Besides, she was indeed a little hungry.

Li Mo was very patient, scooped up a small spoonful of egg fried rice, and then put it into Klein's mouth smoothly.

The cycle repeated, and after half an hour, the bowl of rice was eaten up.

"The doctor didn't eat either..."

"I know. I'll send it to her now. Don't worry, I'll make sure she finishes it."

"Well, thank you."

"You're welcome. I think I'd be very happy if you could smile a little."

"Hmm... is that so?"

Klein forced a stiff smile, clearly forcing it.

Li Mo smiled bitterly and rubbed Klein's head again.

"Don't rub my head like a doctor..."

"Yeah, sorry, I'm used to it."

Li Mo stopped his criminal behavior, returned to the kitchen, picked up a bowl of fried rice and walked towards the laboratory where Mebius was.

Mebius closed his eyes and lay motionless on the table.

"...Are you so tired that you fell asleep?"

Li Mo didn't know whether he should wake up Mebius. Judging from her swollen eye sockets and dark circles, she was not feeling at ease after returning to the Fire Moth.

Now that I am taking time off to deal with my own affairs, I am afraid that my not-so-rich time will become even more stretched.

The content on the screen instantly attracted Li Mo's attention.

It records his special features and Mebius's usage and speculations about them.

There was a part of the content that Li Mo was particularly interested in.

Immortality and abundance.

This is a title prepared by Mebius based on his special features.

His flesh and blood has the effect of bringing the dead back to life and turning flesh into bones. Any energy with a destructive nature that comes into contact with it will fall into dormancy and no longer have the ability to cause harm.

The cost is unknown, but if the source can be identified and properly utilized, perhaps there will be no more suffering in the world.

However, Mebius did not make this point in the file. Even though he watched the young warriors of the Fire Moth being tortured to death by the corruption of the Honkai, he did not make this research public.

The more precious the gift, the more cautious you should be.

"Now that you're here, choose your own title, 'Immortal' or 'Abundance'?" "

"'Immortality' means indestructibility, which suits your unlimited healing ability very well."

"'Abundance' literally means abundance and richness, and its underlying meaning is a selfless gift."

Li Mo originally thought that Mebius had woken up, but it turned out to be just a recording left by the computer.

I guess Mebius had already planned that she would be asleep when he came back, so he simply recorded the audio and let Li Mo choose for herself.

Li Mo stared at the two words on the screen, and after a moment's hesitation, he chose the latter.

"Abundance".

Chapter 42: Colorful Butterflies Flying, Stars Poured

After choosing "Abundance", Li Mo suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, but he didn't take it to heart.

He turned around, put the coat hanging on the wall on the sleeping Mebius, and left the laboratory.

In the medical room, Hua's father was still receiving treatment and all the instruments showed normal results.

Klein was very busy processing a mountain of documents. Li Mo did not disturb him and walked outside quietly alone.

The sky was gradually filled with a deep dark blue. The moon hung high in the sky, casting a soft glow. Li Mo was standing there, gazing at the deep night sky.

While waiting for rescue in the ruins, Li Mo saw Hua bringing a group of people to the martial arts hall.

This should have been the moment after the disaster, when the two finally reunited after understanding each other's hardships, but the half-dead man behind him made Li Mo give up this idea.

They will meet again, but not now.

Li Mo didn't want Hua to see her father like that, he wanted to give her a big enough surprise.

I hope Mebius can cure Hua's father as soon as possible so that I can return to her and fulfill my childhood promise.

Yong Xianyuan accepted her and said that no matter what Hua became, he would watch her progress from behind.

But, that's all he could do. Li Mo couldn't go any further.

He and she are just family, nothing more.

The last time we celebrated Hua’s birthday, Hua wanted to keep me.

Li Mo, who obeyed Hua unconditionally, refused. There was a voice in his heart telling him that Hua was not the one he wanted to wait for.

Li Mo sighed, and his lively personality calmed down like a stone sinking into a cold pond. He leaned against the railing blankly and looked into the distance.

"I feel like I've forgotten a lot of things. I can't remember them clearly. No matter how hard I try, I can't recall them... Everything is like quicksand. The harder I try to hold on to it, the faster it drifts away. In the end, there will be nothing left, only emptiness and nothingness."

"I don't seem like I should be like this, frivolous and lively, innocent and romantic, like a fairy tale out of fantasy."

"I should be those faces in my dreams."

"A scarlet moon, a purple eyeball in a white world."

"A decadent steam city, empty streets at night."

"With white hair, a hunched body, and a staggering gait, he fell from his horse and died."

"A gloomy forest, a lustful night, and obscene red eyes peeking out from the darkness."

"Vague fragments keep coming back to me at this time of night."

"Who am I? Where do I come from, and where am I going?"

"I am really me now, am I Mo?"

Li Mo leaned on the railing, lowered his head, and watched the ants under the big tree carrying the dead bodies of insects in groups. They moved in the same direction with purpose, order and regularity, unlike himself who was clueless.
