I'm not Yingjie

Alicia laughed until she was out of breath. After she laughed until Mei's eyes turned cold, she panted and laughed, "That's the highly concentrated mustard made by Mobius. If you dilute it with drinking water at a ratio of 1:100, it will be almost the same as ordinary mustard."

"What Mobius gave Lin was highly concentrated mustard? Does this mean... he hates him?"

"Lin is a fundamentalist, and his ideas run counter to those of Mobius, so in a sense, the two of them are indeed a pair that don't get along very well." After playing a prank, Alicia began to answer Mei's question, "But this mustard is actually Dr. Mobius's kindness towards Lin."

"...I want to ask, is the meaning of gentleness in the pre-civilization the same as what I understand?"

"of course."

"..." Another incomprehensible explanation and inexplicable behavior. Mei just assumed that Mobius was a person who loved eating mustard very much.

"Lin gave it to you and asked you to carry it with you. It will more or less make Mebius restrain himself a little after seeing it."

"Then I should really thank him. He makes me feel like I'm carrying a piece of yellow paper to drive away demons." Mei suppressed her desire to complain, took back the tube of potion... the highly concentrated mustard, and asked about some clues that she thought were key. "Mobius, this person is also one of the Thirteen Heroes of the Fire Chaser. She is the dark side of the Fire Chaser Moth, right?"

"Actually, the summary of the dark side of the Fire Moth is too general... but it's basically the same. Mei, what else do you know?"

"Fusion Warrior number CM-003. She is one of the first fusion warriors along with Kevin, you and Sakura. Moreover, she was the one who created the fusion warrior herself."

"Wow, even this aspect has been investigated so thoroughly."

"...Except for the serial number, you told me everything yourself."

"I'm glad that Mei remembered what I said~" Alicia brushed aside the fact that she had leaked information, "But it's not quite appropriate to say 'creating a fusion warrior'. This technology is actually the result of many people's joint efforts. But Mei has worked very hard, so don't worry about this little mistake."

Mei hesitated for a moment, and looking at Alicia's smiling face, she hesitantly said the final conclusion: "From all the signs, Mobius's relationship with you and Lin is not good."

Especially the highly compressed mustard she got made Mei even more convinced of this.

"How could that be? We all regard each other as irreplaceable companions. And Mei, you'd better not tell Mebius that her relationship with Lin is not good... well, don't say that they have a good relationship either. In short, it's best not to mention what happened between them. It's a very delicate 'balance'. If it is broken, you will be punished."

Mei raised her long eyebrows: "I didn't expect that helmet guy would have conflicts with others. I thought that when he encountered conflicts, he would either keep silent or turn around and leave."

"It's not Lin, it's Mebius."

"...I am increasingly confused about the way you two get along with each other."

"That's easy to understand, but Meiyi, you don't know anything about what happened back then. In view of your efforts in finding the truth, I will tell you a special secret."

Alicia's expression became calm. She couldn't tell whether it was emotion or some other feeling brewing in her voice. She said slowly, "There were indeed only four fusion warriors at the beginning. Kevin was the first successful case of super transformation surgery, so his number is CM-001."

Mei noticed the words Alicia used: "The first 'success'..."

"That's right, just because Kevin was the first to succeed doesn't mean he was the first person to undergo the super-transformation surgery." Alicia raised a finger, "The first person to undergo the super-transformation surgery was actually Lin. His fusion warrior number was forcibly designated as CM-000 because his surgery failed."

"Sure enough, that guy is not as simple as he said." Mei frowned. She had some guesses before, and now they were confirmed by Alicia's words.

"There were some minor incidents when Lin participated in the operation. Some people opposed to performing this operation with a success rate of almost zero, but he insisted on being the first volunteer. Thinking about it now, it is really touching."

"Someone objects? Who? Kevin? Hua? Or you?"

Alicia lowered her head, hiding her expression behind her bangs, and said softly—

"It's Mebius."

Chapter 31: Swearing

"There are not many elite members of the Fire Moth right now, and you can barely be counted as one of them. Therefore, the Fire Moth will not agree to your mission request until your injuries are completely healed." Mebius lifted the earrings on her ears, and the golden paint surface sparkled under the light. She casually put the cup on the table and took out a document from the messy pile to look through it.

Mebius knew all too well what those people were thinking. The so-called letting Lin recuperate was just an excuse. Soldiers were consumables. Judging from the fact that they forced Lin to search and rescue Mei, their attitude towards this so-called "elite" was no more than that of a more advanced rifleman.

The reason why they are pretending to protect Lin now is probably because of the disagreement among the upper echelons on Mei. Lin's interests are not big, but they are not small either. He is at a stage where his reputation as a great hero after the third collapse is rising.

Moreover, they were a little confused about what Lin was thinking. Compared with others, Lin lived like an ascetic monk. He didn't smoke or drink, and his lifestyle was precise to the second. He didn't buy anything except the necessities of life. He never socialized with others and rarely logged into the intranet. It was impossible to please him or win him over.

Is he really a saint who devotes himself to humanity? But before joining the Fire Moth, he was just a normal high school student, without a father or a mother, who made a living by working, and he didn't seem to have the awareness of sacrificing himself for justice.

There must be an ulterior motive.

So after some discussion, they decided to start with Lin's Honkai disease.

"Mei and her little follower will be assigned to the Fifth Science Department to conduct research on Honkai energy adaptability. If nothing goes wrong, you will go with them. If there is any place that is most likely to develop a drug to treat Honkai energy erosion, it is the only place there."

Mei has joined the Fire Moth for too short a time, so it is not appropriate to expect her to start working right away. Although she has proposed some... shocking theories, the conditions and practices to support her theories are not enough, so during this period of time, she will study Honkai in places where research results are relatively mature.

According to her abilities, she should be able to officially start working within two months. However, it is unknown what changes the Fire Moth executives will have in their views on her by then.

"Me too? But I'm..."

Lin suddenly realized something. He glanced at Mebius who was concentrating on looking through the documents. When he saw that she didn't look up, he tried to tap his toes on the ground, frowned, and put a little force to cover the soles of his feet on the ground.

Solid touch.

Mobius lowered his head and the curve of his mouth widened.

Lin thought about it, then pushed himself up with both hands, left the operating table and stood on the ground.

"..."

He took a few steps forward, his stride unhurried.

My whole body still exudes a feeling of weakness, but it is much better than before when I had difficulty even standing. At least now I can achieve basic walking.

This can't be a sudden miracle.

Lin looked at Mebius, who had just put down the paper file in her hand and gave a smile that sent chills down one's spine.

Is it really the reagent that was injected just now?

"Muscle atrophy is not a big problem for living organisms, and stimulating muscle tissue to restore it to its previous state is even less of a problem for me." Mebius' explanation was simple and clear, as if the act of directly using drugs of unknown composition on the human body was a matter of course.

Lin stretched his hands on the spot to test the extent of recovery and asked, "What are the side effects?"

Mebius sneered, "Do you think I'm some rubbish that hasn't even graduated from college? Can drugs of this level have side effects? It's just that if you push a wheelchair like a disabled person every time you come, it will annoy me."

Lin hesitated for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Anything else?"

Mobius knew he would ask this, and pointed to the several syringes in the plastic bag on the table: "Once a day. I remind you, don't think that a one-time use can cure you. I don't want to spread rumors that everything produced by Mobius Laboratory is poison."

Lin silently accepted the bag of potion which was full of Mobius's evil taste in color.

In a sense, that is not a rumor.

"If you have nothing else to do, go ahead. The next experiment involves knowledge that you cannot help with."

The lights in the laboratory were relatively bright, but under the walls, which were mainly white, there were messy documents and files. Only the experimental equipment was neatly laid out, while other daily necessities such as cups, quick-brew coffee, packaging bags, empty instant noodle buckets and even bedding were piled together in a mess.

Although there was a smell similar to formaldehyde in the laboratory, Lin still felt a sour smell rushing into his nose when he saw these.

Mebius picked up a bucket of instant noodles and glanced at Lin who was standing still, wondering, "Why? You want to eat instant noodles too?"

"Instant noodles?" Lin's impression of this word remained when he went to Kevin's house and Kevin said he would cook for him.

He clearly remembered Kevin bringing out two identical black messes from the kitchen, calling one scrambled eggs with tomatoes and the other stir-fried pork with green peppers.

Then Lin had no choice but to follow Kevin and eat instant noodles for the first time in his life.

Lin asked expressionlessly: "...Why don't you go to the cafeteria to eat?"

Mebius curled his lips in disdain: "It takes time and energy, and... I don't want to be watched like a monkey."

Mobius never leaves her house, but her notoriety and her iconic green hair have spread far and wide. Even the mice of the Fire Moth dare not approach Mobius's laboratory. Whenever she goes out, she will cause a commotion, even if that is not what she wants.

Lin nodded: "I'll cook."

"……What did you say?"

"I promised you before."

Mebius was stunned, then he remembered that he seemed to have said that he would cook for her.

"And these." Lin pointed at the indescribable garbage polymers, his eyelids twitching, "Dr. Mobius, what do you think of the smell of you and Honkai Beast?"

"What do you mean?"

"I think they smell about the same." Lin took a small, unnoticeable step back.

Mobius's expression froze on that delicate face.

This was the first time Lin said something so harsh.

……

"Minister? Minister? Minister!"

"do not come!"

Delta suddenly opened his eyes and screamed, jumping up from the ground, three feet high. With sweat all over his forehead, he pointed the screwdriver in his hand at the confused members in front of him.

"Hu, hu, hu..." He was panting. His confused mind made him unable to understand the current situation. He looked at the scene in front of him with empty eyes.

what happened?

"Minister, are you okay? You suddenly fainted just now. You should go and have a rest." The subordinate in front looked at Delta, who was in poor mental condition, worriedly, spread his hands and persuaded him.

Delta stared at the screwdriver in his hand in a daze: "Did I... faint..."

After the dance yesterday, he immediately threw himself into research and development, but the long hours of high-pressure work took their toll on his body.

He put down the tool with a sour taste in his mouth and sighed, "But the research and development of Titan is still stagnant."

"But Minister, there's no need to be so anxious."

“…Disaster will never stop and wait for you.”

Delta lowered his eyes with a gloomy look, and a figure flashed before his eyes, then disappeared in the light.

Chapter 32: Even though I am not right, I am still strong

Lin pinched his nose and picked up a loose silk fabric: "What is this?"

Mebius said sullenly, "Stockings."

"Last week?"

"Last month."

Lin threw it into the trash can.

It is hard to imagine that someone as organized and intelligent as Mobius would have such a mess in her life. Maybe it is because she is the biggest person in the laboratory and has always been immersed in various experiments and operations. Her private space is exactly the same as Kevin's home, even the instant noodles are placed in a place where they can be easily reached.

I put the things I need and the things I don't need together, and replace them with new ones after use. I store things like a hamster, and it looks full at a glance.

Lin is not a mysophobe, but in order to keep his body in good condition, he will keep his living environment and daily routine in good order. Having lived alone since childhood, his living habits are healthy and difficult for many people to match, so in his eyes, Mobius's dark and damp nest that is as dark as a snake hole is almost like a mass grave.

After Lin simply cleaned up the garbage, he looked at the still messy room and asked, "Where do you put your cosmetics?"

"I never use makeup." Mebius, who was standing at the door, crossed his arms disdainfully, thinking that Lin's question was unnecessary.

"You never use powder puffs, blush, perfume, etc., but you occasionally use cleansing cream, eye shadow and lipstick, but the colors are relatively light, and your hair and eye color are more conspicuous, so it is usually not noticeable."

"you……"

Mebius got goosebumps all over his body.

What was wrong with this man? Why did he observe so clearly after only meeting her a few times? You know, except for herself, even Blanca couldn't tell that she actually put on some light makeup occasionally.

Soon Lin found the cosmetics he mentioned in some corners and placed them all neatly together so that he would not lose them when he needed them.

"Mind your own business." Seeing how diligent he was, Mebius felt a surge of anger in his heart.

Lin's injury did not reduce his efficiency. He only spent more than ten minutes cleaning Mebius's private office inside and out, putting everything in order and organizing the documents on the table.

Mobius stared at the newly renovated office in silence. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but even the lights in the room seemed brighter.

Not bad?

However, it was not over yet. After resting for a while, Lin picked up the cleaning tools and started cleaning the entire laboratory while Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu looked horrified.

"Why are there pen knives and scissors in the lab?" Lin frowned and picked up a GK figure that hadn't been painted yet. "Does your lab outsource the production of figures?"

Everyone in the lab looked at Danzhu, who had cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Danzhu, I told you not to bring your personal hobbies into the laboratory." When Mebius narrowed his eyes, he was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, terrifying and dangerous.

Dan Zhu's pupils were swollen, and he kept muttering: "This, this..."

It seems that if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beams will not be much better.

Lin shook his head.

……

"It's incredible. That helmeted man actually came to the lab as an assistant. Isn't he known as a ruthless anti-Houkai man who only kills warriors and Houkai beasts?"
