I already said this is not a life simulator!

Blanca looked at the time and said with a smile.

"If other people knew that you, Xiwang, took such good care of my child... they would probably be envious to death, right?"

"Haha... But don't worry, nothing like that will happen."

"That's great... Well, I'll be leaving for a while. Grayshu, please listen carefully to what Dr. Mobius and Xiwang say, okay?"

"Okay~ Goodbye, Mom~"

"Goodbye~"

…………

"...You can go there and paint with Grayshu. There's a spot reserved for you two... And don't let Grayshu get too much paint on her body. It's hard to wash off."

After Blanca left, the few people who stayed behind fell into silence again. Finally, it was Mebius who spoke first, pointing to a place in the corner with a simple baffle, indicating that Xiwang could take Grayshu to play there.

"And lastly, if it's not necessary, don't bother me. Otherwise, even if you're just a guinea pig, I'll make sure you have some deep memories..."

"Okay, okay, I know~"

Xi Wang ignored Mobius's narrowed, pretentiously dangerous snake eyes and just kept nodding in response... As he spent more time with Mobius, Xi Wang already knew what kind of person she was, so he didn't take her "threat" seriously.

"……snort."

Looking at Xiwang, who sat down with Greshuin and skillfully set up the drawing board and pasted the drawing paper together, Mobius snorted lightly. Especially when he saw Greshuin sitting in Xiwang's arms very naturally, and even shrinking into his arms like a baby swallow longing for warmth, Mobius's brows jumped again... But in the end she didn't say anything, just continued with her own thing.

…………

………………

"Dr. Mebius."

As the laboratory door opened with a slight sound, Mei's voice rang out. She first nodded to Xiwang and Grace who were hiding in the corner as a greeting... Her gaze lingered on Xiwang for a while, then she retracted her gaze and turned her attention to Mebius.

"Hey, Mei, how's it going? Any interesting news?"

"How is Xiwang doing?"

Mei asked simply.

"Oh my... So you're here on their behalf? How boring..."

"It's important to know how he is doing, Dr. Mebius."

Mei asked again, slightly emphasizing her tone.

"Yes, I know, but... as you can see now, he is normal and there is nothing wrong with him."

Mebius narrowed his eyes and spoke in a calm and steady tone.

"He is also safe here. Even if those guys want to do something to him, they can't get around me... Humph, it's really funny. Those guys actually doubted him at this time. They really have no shame at all."

"Dr. Mobius, in the face of Honkai, everyone is worthy of suspicion... If we allow the Herrscher to lurk around us and cause even greater damage... that is definitely not the scene we want to see."

"Humph, funny. If that guy was really the Herrscher, we would have died long ago. How could we be here to discuss things leisurely? Those guys only know how to pick on the weak and bully those who won't bother with them. Hehe, sooner or later, they will kill themselves."

"Dr. Mobius, please be careful with your words..."

Mei pinched her brows with a headache... Although she also didn't like the behavior of "Fire Moth", she was talking to him with an attitude of handling official business at the moment. Mobius's overly bold remarks were really not good, and it was easy for others to make trouble for him... Oh, no, Mobius was originally a member of the core power layer, so it was okay.

"But how are his [songs] these days? Is there any problem with the data collection?"

"Of course. This is just a small matter that won't take up much of my time... The result is just as we expected. There is nothing wrong with the mouse itself, but there is something else mixed in his [Song]."

"Eden also told me that there seems to be a hint of noise in Little White Mouse's melody... It's not a problem with the melody or tune, but there's something strange mixed into his song in the middle, just like a particularly noisy audience member coming to a quiet theater. Although it doesn't affect the performance too much, the sound that comes in is still annoying."

Mebius touched his lips lightly, brushed the corners of his mouth with his fingertips, and gently rubbed his chin with his fingertips, and fell into thought.

"Interesting... It seems that this Herrscher is using the mouse's song to exert his power, so that we can stop using the song and make us suspicious of the mouse. Haha, he's made progress. He has quickly transformed from a killing machine into a thinking and calculating being..."

"Dr. Mobius, whatever you have in mind now, please wait until the incident is resolved."

"You don't need to remind me, Mei... You are becoming less and less lovable."

Mebius smiled casually, then put on a serious expression.

"Since I can guess this, then I'm sure you can also think of it... In this case, you shouldn't let those guys continue to harass Little White Mouse, and you shouldn't stand on the same front with them."

"You should know that we cannot and should not doubt the white mouse now. Once something like this exists, it can never be erased. By then... we may do something not so good and push the white mouse into a position that none of us want to see."

Mebius narrowed his eyes and gave Mei a slight warning.

"They have forgotten what happened to the White Mouse during the Seventh Herrscher period, but I don't want you to forget it either, Mei."

"You are too partial to him, Dr. Mebius."

Mei pushed her glasses up slightly and spoke calmly.

"Although I know that he has a good relationship with the few friends you have...Gresh, whom you like, likes him very much, and you have a certain liking for him because of this, but I have to remind you that being too obviously partial will only attract unnecessary suspicion."

"…Are you trying to say that I was influenced by him?"

"Your behavior will only keep them guessing."

Mei looked at Mebius, ignoring her increasingly dangerous snake eyes, and spoke slowly.

"Besides, we really shouldn't and can't doubt him at this time... His unique [characteristics] and [power] are extremely beneficial to us, because it is definitely not advisable to completely cut off our relationship with a little suspicion and unfounded speculation... That's why we must clear the doubts about him."

"…Mei, when did you become so naive?"

Mebius lowered his eyes slightly, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"To doubt others without authorization... When encountering such a thing, instead of solving the doubter's inexplicable thinking, you ask the person being doubted to prove something he has not done... Mei, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Dr. Mobius, this is what has to be done, isn't it?"

Mei took out the terminal, retrieved a piece of data, and projected it for Mebius to see - it recorded the data of people who had been affected by the "Song" and fell into a coma, as well as part of the investigation of those who were still awake.

Now, many people have resisted listening to Xi Wang's songs, and there have even been comments such as "These songs were deliberately released by the Fire Moth. They are a special weapon! They want to make us all fall into a coma and then drag us for human experiments. These are just despicable means! And Xi Wang is their accomplice! Who are they kidding? They say that listening to songs can cure diseases! It's all just a trick!"

Although this strange speculation will soon be refuted by others and "Fire Moth" will be banned immediately, this approach will make others believe in this strange statement more. After all... everything can be explained by the sentence "Fire Moth is forbidding us to tell the truth!"

Anyway, you only need to spread rumors with your mouth, so what if the "Fire Moth" comes to you? This speculation is reasonable and well-founded. Who told you to play the song that really made people fall into a coma?

Moreover, this strange phenomenon is spreading rapidly, and there is a tendency that it will cover the whole world. Under such circumstances, panic and suspicion have been accumulating in the hearts of the people, oppressing their already tense nerves.

The emotion called "suspicion" is spreading among the people, and "distrust" is spreading among the crowd, gradually engulfing the "fire moth".

In this situation, the "Fire-Chasing Moth" can only direct its spearhead towards Xi Wang, who currently has the biggest problem and is the most suspicious.

"Fire Moth" did not directly judge Xiwang as a "Herrser". After all, many people have stood up for him, and the test data of Mobius and Velvi can also explain some problems. But "Fire Moth" must now find a breakthrough, and Xiwang, who has the biggest problem now... isn't he a good breakthrough?

On the one hand, it can clear Xi Wang of suspicion and let those who believed the rumors and unconsciously rejected and distrusted Xi Wang in their hearts know how outrageous their inexplicable speculations are. On the other hand, it can also open up the situation and find the real culprit of this "great collapse".

"...Okay, I understand what you want to do... Where's that weird guy Aponya? Has he returned from the "Deepest Place"? "

"Of course, since we have already guessed the ability of the Herrscher, we must make corresponding preparations... Thanks to the warning we got from Xi Wang before, the Fifth Science Department, with the assistance of Aponia, has developed a defensive drug in time and has distributed it to everyone. You should have received it as well, Dr. Mobius."

"I received it, but I didn't use it... Hehe... I really want to experience the power of this [Herrser] so that I can explore what the spiritual world is like."

"Please take back this idea for now... After this [Great Collapse] is resolved, there will always be a chance for you to study it."

"I know, so I'm not planning on doing anything... hehe..."

Mebius looked at Xi Wang who was still playing with Grayshu, as if she hadn't heard anything they said, and smacked her lips in dissatisfaction.

"... You can talk to Little White Mouse about what happens next. You know his character. He won't refuse... Tsk."

Mebius pinched her brows with a headache. Although she understood that this approach was normal and correct, the feeling of being forced to do something still made her uncomfortable.

But there is no way, everything must give way to "eliminating the Collapse". "Solving the Great Collapse" is the most important thing at the moment, and everything else must be put aside, including the so-called emotions and "partiality"... naturally.

Besides, the method proposed by "Fire Moth" is not too excessive, right?

"I understand."

Mei also looked at Xi Wang, looking at the corners of his mouth that almost never dropped, and looking at Grayshure sitting in his arms with the innocent smile that only belonged to a child, Mei's mouth corners couldn't help but rise slightly.

It's so strange... Even if I just look at him, even if I just stay around him, I can vaguely feel the rising emotions, the feeling as if I have touched a glimmer of light... It's really wonderful.

"He is now... in a sense, he is indeed our [hope]."

Chapter 4305 This time it will change...definitely ()

"Hmm~? Hmm~?"

It was Xiwang's happy humming.

tick-

It is the sound of rain falling.

Outside the window, the dripping rain gently hits the window, and the transparent water droplets stay on the glass, as if they are attached to something and are reluctant to fall, but eventually and inevitably flow down.

"Oh~ Xiwang really likes rainy days~ The happy feeling is about to overflow~?"

"Hello~ Alicia."

"Hehe~ That's right, the lovely Alicia is here to see you~?"

Ai Lishiya spoke cheerfully, with a tone of happiness somewhat similar to Xi Wang's... In a sense, the two of them were really alike. They almost always kept smiling, and their happy mood rarely dissipated.

However, this time, Alicia came with a mission, so after a simple greeting, she put on a more serious expression... well, only relatively speaking.

"I came here on a mission~ Now..."

"Ok, I know."

"Eh?"

Without waiting for Alicia to finish speaking, Xi Wang nodded slightly, and Alicia was also briefly stunned.

"I already know."

Xiwang said so.

"I will help... Rather, I am already very grateful that so many people support me at this time."

A gentle breeze came from nowhere, gently lifting his and her hair.

"Ah, and... please don't tell anyone about me singing secretly just now, okay? Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to write a self-criticism again..."

As if she suddenly remembered something, Xi Wang smoothed her hair, which was as smooth as water, a little embarrassedly, and changed the original topic.

"…Don't worry~ It won't happen~ And I really like listening to your singing~ You know, I'm your fan~?"

"Thank you so much~"

"Humph~?"

Alicia narrowed her eyes happily and shook her head gently, her pink hair rising and falling in the air like flying flowers.

"Then... let's go?"

"Okay, but where should I go?"

"Oh my, look, stupid Alicia forgot about this... Come on, let's go, I'll take you there~?"

"Aliceia... it's not okay to act cute on purpose, okay?"

"No, I'm cute, right?"

"really."

"Hehe~? Xiwang is really honest and straightforward sometimes~?"

"What's wrong?"

"No~ Maybe this is the best~?"

"That couldn't be better."

"........."

Ailisa could tell that Xiwang was not in the mood to chat, so she stopped trying to find topics to talk about and the two fell into silence for a while.

"Alicia, do you like rainy days?"

Suddenly, Xi Wang asked this.

"I like it~ I like all kinds of weather~ Whether it's the cool rain falling from the sky or the soft sunshine, I like it~?"

"I see... That couldn't be better."
