I'm not Yingjie

Don't want to say it?

"What are you doing here? Weiwei is the director of the Engineering Department and the owner of the Spiral Workshop. She has other things to do and has gone out first. If you want to see the director of the Engineering Department, please come back tomorrow."

"I'm not looking for the minister." The girl seemed to want to look Lin over carefully. She looked at Lin with eyes as clear as the blue sky. "Um... marriage proposal... the conditions for both sexes written above are not equal, right?"

"..."

So it's this marriage request that you care about?

"Most of what's written on it is fake." Lin shook his head, crumpled up the marriage proposal written by Wei Erwei into a ball of waste paper and threw it into the trash can.

"It's not fake." The girl repeated what she had said before.

Lin said nothing. It didn't matter what she thought. Anyway, this playful matchmaking was over.

"The marriage proposal is over. You don't need to care about what it says."

"Hmm...what's it like to be married?"

"I do not know either."

If Lin really knew what it felt like to be married, he wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to find a marriage partner.

"Oh~ You don't know either, then let's try it."

"..."

To reiterate, Lin felt that he was already a freak among freaks in the Fire Moth.

But what this girl said with that silly expression was really shocking.

"Try it, and you'll know what it feels like, right?"

After a moment of silence, Lin looked at the girl again.

It took her a long time before she slowly revealed an unnatural and stiff smile.

Just like pulling your muscles in a similar way.

……

"Doctor, the Soul Steel and the Herrscher core have been safely transported to the headquarters. No problems have occurred."

Einstein sipped his hot coffee and nodded silently to the nervous assistant who was reporting to him.

After a while, she looked up and said to her assistant, "Are you new here?"

"Yes, yes!" The assistant was flattered and faced Einstein's smiling gaze, "I just joined the Fire Moth recently!"

"Haha, don't be nervous. Have a piece of chocolate. Phenylethylamine can make people happier and relieve nervousness." Einstein pointed to the snacks on the table. This was her hobby. She would bring some high-calorie snacks wherever she went.

"C-can it?"

"of course."

The assistant blushed and took the chocolate: "Okay, thank you."

This is Einstein, a well-known scientist even outside of the Fire Moth. She had read Einstein's theory of relativity and later found more academic papers published by Einstein. Since then, she has admired Einstein immensely. At this moment, she is face to face with her idol.

Einstein's calm attitude did indeed soothe her nerves and she was no longer so nervous.

"Don't worry. Although some unexpected things such as Soul Steel and the Herrscher Core appeared, archaeological work is usually quite easy and not difficult for newcomers."

"Phew, that's great. This is the first time I've seen the legendary Herrscher Core."

"Haha, that thing doesn't look that scary, does it?" Einstein's eyes flashed with an imperceptible gloom, "At least when it is not in the human body..."

"what?"

"Nothing, just think of it as me talking to myself. By the way, what's your number?"

The assistant hurriedly took off the badge on his chest and showed Einstein the number on the back.

"MSA-970."

Chapter 37 Redundancy

"Marriage proposal?"

Mebius paused as she mixed the liquid solvent. She raised her eyebrows, recalling what Lin said yesterday that she didn't hear clearly.

Could it be that what he said at that time was...

She cleared her messy thoughts from her brain, laughed strangely and said, "What does that have to do with me? Do you think you can come to me to complain when even he doesn't like you? Unfortunately, all you get is ridicule."

Alicia emptied her eyes, as if what Mobius said was partly right.

"Dr. Mobius seems to be quite free."

"I'm not as bored as you are. The fragile connection in a marriage relationship that is not guaranteed at all and the reproductive behavior that has been thoroughly studied make me feel that there is no point in getting married." Mobius raised the corners of his mouth. "But I'm surprised that he actually wants to get married."

Alicia seemed to be used to Mobius's venomous snake. Wasn't this a sign of their good relationship? She squinted her eyes and smiled at Mobius' busy back: "Don't you want to go see Lin? He is very interesting when he is looking for a marriage partner."

"Hmph, boring."

Go see him?

Mebius sneered inwardly.

He comes here on time every day with food, so why does she need to go out specially to see him?

By the way, isn't that guy a little late today? He hasn't come yet at this hour.

Mobius glanced at his watch inadvertently and found that it was almost time for dinner and Lin had not arrived yet. Usually he would come half an hour early.

"Oh? Who is Dr. Mobius waiting for?" Alicia playfully poked her head out from the side of Mobius and looked at her with a sly smile.

"Tsk, didn't you come here to wait because you knew about this?"

Alicia would never come to her house without a reason, even if she occasionally had nothing to do she would go to her laboratory, but today she came at mealtime, obviously she had heard from somewhere that Lin brought meals to Mebius every day, so she came here specially to join in the fun and get a free meal.

"Hey, just to make a living. Lin has almost become your personal chef. It's so hard for me to find him for a meal."

Alicia also noticed that time was passing by little by little: "By the way, is Lin usually this late?"

"..." This expressed Mebius's doubts, but she opened her mouth but still said nothing.

"Jingle Bell."

The sound of Mebius' communicator resounded throughout the private laboratory. She picked up the communicator on the table beside her, glanced at the source of the call and was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Alicia and chose to answer it.

"what's up?"

"I have to cook for others today, so you have to take care of the lunch by yourself."

"...What?" Mebius didn't expect the first sentence she heard would be this. She immediately asked back, "Then what should I eat?"

"Instant noodles."

"beep--"

Communication is cut off.

"Dr. Mobius? Hello?"

Alicia saw that Mobius suddenly became dazed after receiving a call, and she waved her hand in front of Mobius.

Gradually, a look of gnashing teeth appeared on Mebius's face.

That guy was really straightforward in standing her up. He let her eat instant noodles just to cook for others? And... he even dared to hang up her phone?

Mebius turned his head coldly and asked: "What flavor of instant noodles do you like?"

"……What?"

……

Kevin walked to May's side and watched with her as the core of the Herrscher of Reason was placed into the world's most solid containment chamber.

"Have you finished today's work?" Mei didn't turn her head, but she knew that the person coming was Kevin. Their silent understanding had been engraved in their souls.

“There’s less work, and I’m spending most of my time at the gym.”

As the hatch closed, this Herrscher Core from an unknown era was temporarily sealed. When it was unsealed, perhaps the soul steel that was discovered with it would be forged into weapons that could be used with the Herrscher Core.

Kevin's attention was not on the Herrscher Core, but also not on Mei. It was as if he was simply standing here with his physical body, but his mind was thousands of miles away from here.

"is it?"

Kevin knew why Mei asked this, because he had a lot more free time, but he came to see Mei less often.

Most of the time, he is alone.

"Mei, Lin has changed."

Kevin suddenly turned his head and spoke to Mei in a cold tone.

Lin? Compared to Mebius's habit of staying at home, Mei often leaves the R&D department to go to other departments. She knows about Lin's gambling and this marriage proposal.

"I'm starting to lose sight of Lin. Is this change a good thing?"

"We cannot define good and bad." Mei stopped Kevin from falling into a deeper mental cycle in time, "Can you tell me which one is better, you now or you were then?"

"..."

Kevin was silent, and the silence returned to May's question.

"Besides, I think Lin hasn't changed."

"what?"

Mei didn't add anything to explain. Her words seemed to be just unintentional. Even Kevin was not sure if he had heard it wrong.

Soon, Kevin began to observe the multiple cabins behind the transparent walls.

Even during the Great Purge, these cabins did not suffer any damage. They were not designed as some kind of shelter facilities but were simply isolated using the most robust technology and materials.

Because once the things inside return to the human world, it will cause unimaginable disasters.

"Will all these Herrscher cores be made into God's Keys?" he asked.

"At least that's the decision now," Mei replied. "The Divine Key made from the Sixth Herrscher's core should be given to Lin to use."

This was a joint decision made by the top management of Fire Moth and her.

Lin had used the power of the Sixth Herrscher before, so his compatibility with the Key of God of the Herrscher of Death should be very high.

"The Herrscher Core is actually a kind of key. Judging from the power displayed by the Herrscher, they are connected to a place where the Herrscher can use their power. However, making them into God's Keys cannot reproduce this connection, which means that they cannot exert their original power."

“But this is the safest approach.”

"Perhaps we can use other methods to reproduce the function of their keys, so that humans can also exert the power of the Herrscher to the fullest." Mei's eyes were always fixed on the cabin where the core of the Herrscher of Reason had just been stored.

All the Herrscher cores had stipulated the plan for making the Key of God, which also caused her "Blank Key" design to remain in the draft stage, with no suitable Herrscher core to test it.

And will this latest “extra” core of the Ruler of Reason, and the soul steel that goes with it, be a new possibility?

Chapter 38: The Strange Beginning

“I don’t believe in miracles… but the history of science is full of miracles.”

"But if there really is a miracle called 'love'... please make it happen... even if it's only one in ten million... one in a billion... I pray with all my heart..."

"This is just a tiny human's insignificant wish..."

"But even here and now... I am praying for you..."

……

The girl's eyelids trembled slightly, and the deep blue pupils underneath glowed like fireflies at night, gradually going out after nearly a minute.

Her well-proportioned waist allowed her to sit up in bed without using her hands to support herself. Lying on the bed in this strange room, she glanced around with an expressionless face.

As daybreak approached, she woke up on time, as if on a timer. No commotion could be heard in the quiet Fire Moth headquarters.

The sound of breathing, so steady that every interval was accurate to the second, attracted her attention. There was another person sleeping in the bed, a man with black hair.

The girl glanced at the man who was still sleeping, then looked down at the white gloves on her jade-like hands and the gorgeous clothes, and closed her blue eyes.

The clothes on her body disappeared like bubbles, revealing her clean body without any flaws. Then a set of female Fire Moth uniform covered her skin. Her long dark sea hair was automatically tied into a high ponytail with a gray rope, which made her look more heroic and energetic.

She slowly opened her eyes, and the light in the depths of her pupils disappeared. She looked down at the man whose breathing rhythm did not change at all. She stretched out her hand, forming a claw, and calmly reached for the man's throat...

Fingers touched the skin.
