I already said this is not a life simulator!

Mebius raised an eyebrow.

"Well, even if I follow the arrangement of the Fire Moth and become independent from you, the things I need to be responsible for will not change. In this case, why should I leave?"

"Maybe you can get better resources? After all, it's obvious that the Fire Moth favors you now... Move the car backwards, and move it to six."

"Here you can...eat a car."

"Maybe it will be easier? Backward facing car, back four."

"But in the end, isn't that all I have to worry about? Bishop back, Bishop three, Check."

"At least it will be easier than here, right? Rook to Bishop, Rook to Two."

"...Doctor, you seem to want to push me out?"

Xi Wang paused for a moment before asking this.

"From what I know, you don't seem to be the kind of person who would let go easily...especially when there is something about me that interests you."

"You don't seem to be someone who would easily give up a favorite [research subject]."

"…It's your turn, little one."

In response, Mebius did not respond, but just spoke calmly.

"...eat the rook from behind, Check."

"Then why are you willing to be my [research subject], little one?"

Mebius asked slowly, pinching his chess piece.

"In order to explore my own uniqueness, I will advance my research."

"Is that all? You should know that such research is very dangerous to yourself...after eating."

"But I trust you, Doctor. You won't hurt me, will you?"

Xiwang shrugged.

"Although in the eyes of others, you seem to be a person who will do anything to achieve your goals, but when it comes to research, you do have your own bottom line... although your plans are indeed very radical in many cases."

"Because of this, I have to keep an eye on you to prevent you from doing anything too extreme. Not to mention the impact on others around you, your own safety alone will be a problem... After the elephant eats, Check."

"That was the case with the previous study of Shesha. Not to mention the Fire-Chasing Moth, it gave me a headache for a long time... Fortunately, the follow-up treatment was fine, otherwise it would have been a big trouble. I don't want to fish you out of that pile of black mud under the thunder and lightning."

"…Are you concerned about me, little one?"

Mebius' tone suddenly rose slightly.

"When have I never cared about you?"

"Ha ha……"

Mebius did not deny this.

"Then...if that kind of accident really happened, would you come and rescue me?"

"If you're still alive, Doctor."

"Hehe...if that situation really happened, I would definitely still be alive."

Mebius laughed twice again, pinched his most crucial chess piece with his fingers, raised his head and looked at Xiwang.

"Little guy, I have a great suggestion... Whoever wins this round can make a request to the loser, how about it?"

"I just want you to finish your work quickly, Doctor, and go to sleep and rest."

Although he didn't know why Mebius would make such a problematic suggestion at this moment when he was bound to lose, Xi Wang still said it expressionlessly.

"……Really boring."

Mebius curled his lips and moved his chess piece.

"Wang Xiangbing, Wang Jinyi."

?

Xiwang looked at Mebius strangely, but all he saw was her meaningful smile.

"...The soldier eats the king."

"Okay, little guy, tell me a request~"

"Any request?"

"That's it, including..."

"Then please take a shower, brush your teeth, drink a glass of water, and go to bed."

Xiwang interrupted her to prevent her from bringing up the matter again.

"……snort."

Mebius snorted reluctantly, but finally stood up and walked towards the lounge.

After washing up, before Mebius could say anything, Xi Wang handed him a glass of water.

"Drink water and sleep."

"Got it, little one."

Mebius rolled his eyes, but still listened to him, drank the water, and then obediently moved to the single bed in the lounge... The previous lounge chair had been replaced with a more comfortable single bed at Xiwang's request, which would allow Mebius to rest more comfortably.

"Well...see you tomorrow, Doctor."

"...Yeah, see you tomorrow."

Mebius watched Xiwang close the door, then waited for a while before slowly lying down on the bed.

"what……"

Mebius buried half of his face in the pillow, with a hint of fatigue and disappointment in his eyes...disappointment in himself.

Especially when thinking back to his previous appearance, Mebius's thoughts became somewhat complicated and bitter.

"what……"

It turns out that she, Blanca, and Mei are no different...

In the end, she just smiled at herself, slowly closed her eyes, and planned to fall asleep.

Chapter 4834 The "Snake" Eyes Her "Prey" ()

[You noticed the strangeness of Mobius, and as someone who knew her well, you could feel her dejection... and it was the kind of dejection... that she felt when she was sure she was different from others at first, but in the end she found out that she was no different from others.]

[This kind of emotion rarely appears in Mebius, because her efforts, her talents, and her pursuits are obviously different from ordinary people, and in order to realize her own "wishes", she does not mind being a little... unscrupulous.]

[As she said before, "Evolution is always accompanied by sacrifice." Mebius is well aware of this. For this reason, she discarded unnecessary morality, retaining only the most basic bottom line, and wantonly exerting her own knowledge and talents.]

[The result of this behavior is that most of her behaviors are considered very radical by others, which in turn causes others to dislike her.]

[In order to continue her research, Mebius would resort to some unpleasant and even illegal means. More importantly, because of the special nature of Mebius's research, her own talents and the results she produced were too important to have a second person to replace her.]

[This forced the others to accept Mobius's rather excessive methods... They couldn't even punish Mobius too severely, because her research was indeed necessary.]

[This is also why others call her a "devil"... Because after doing something very excessive, Mobius did not receive any substantial punishment. At most, she only received a "warning" that was not painful and her reputation became worse and worse, just like the "devil" in the legend.]

[And the increasingly bad reputation will lead to all kinds of imaginary rumors, which will further deteriorate Mebius's reputation, and finally fall into a vicious cycle...]

[The bad reviews also caused Mebius' interpersonal relationships to deteriorate. In the end, Mebius had become a lonely person. No one wanted to go with her, and no one wanted to get close to her.]

[If it weren't for the fact that Mobius's talent was too outstanding, if it wasn't for the fact that her research could really produce results, those investors wouldn't be willing to approach her; if it weren't for the fact that there really needed to be someone who could independently conduct some taboo experiments and voluntarily take on the notoriety, "Fire Moth" wouldn't have allowed Mobius to be so willful]

[Mebius herself knows this, so she deliberately stays indoors. Except for some necessary reasons, she rarely leaves the laboratory. The investor/"Fire Moth" provides her with resources for research, and she provides the results of the research... It's all done tacitly.]

[It is for this reason that Mobius is not very fond of the current "Fire Moth"... "Fire Moth" desires to obtain some taboo or dangerous technology, but also wants to occupy the moral high ground and have a good reputation...]

[This is the worst case scenario... Mebius finds their thoughts and actions ridiculous and disgusting.]

[As for the misunderstandings and fears of others, she doesn't care at all. In her own words, "She doesn't need to explain anything to those mediocre people, nor does she need to explain anything to those who are destined not to understand her."]

[Therefore, Mebius does not need friends, and she does not care whether she has companions with her... and after meeting too many people and seeing the fear and terror of her on their faces, Mebius even gave up looking for someone who can understand her... anyway, such a person does not exist]

[In order to achieve your goals, there is nothing wrong with giving up social interactions and moving forward alone - Mobius sometimes thinks so]

[But... is it really like this? ]

[If this is true, then the relationship between Blanca and Mobius would not have been so friendly. Mobius would not have complained from time to time and looked distressed after learning that Blanca had someone she liked, but would also give them his blessings at the critical moment...]

[Because Mobius knew that she couldn't tie Blanca down, because she had no reason and identity... She and Blanca were more of a superior-subordinate relationship, at most they could be considered very good friends.]

[However, at that time, Blanca was the only one who passed her test and followed her for a long time, or... she was one of Mobius's few friends.]

[That’s why Mobius was distressed and complained… because someone took her friend away.]

[It was also because of this that she had a lot of opinions about Hen in the beginning, and acted like a "bad guy" who wanted to stop their relationship... But in the end, Mebius let it go and sent blessings to Blanca and Hen]

[Mebius wants friends. She doesn't ask for companions, but people who can understand her. At least someone can tolerate her and understand that everything she does is meaningful. She is not a fanatical mad scientist who likes to torture others as others say.]

[But she also knew that these "labels" on her were difficult to remove. When rumors spread and imaginary things gradually became fixed in the minds of others, the real situation... was no longer important.]

[In that case, let it go on... Mobius naturally uses these "labels" on himself to do something very excessive, or even more excessive... Anyway, other people have already thought so, so why not do it? ]

[Do we still have to be so stupid as to dispel rumors? It’s so funny. Rumors will never stop, especially when the “label” has been attached.]

[And in this situation, Mebius's expectations for interpersonal relationships are even lower... There are too few people who can put aside their prejudices, come to understand her, and finally understand her in this situation...]

[She had already set her expectations very low]

[But... As expected, I still have some expectations.]

[That’s why, when Alicia came to her and expressed her wish to establish a good relationship with her and become her friend, she agreed, and even took the initiative to take Alicia to visit the base of the “Fire Moth”. She didn’t care about the fact that Alicia had cheated her of her badge before.]

[She cherishes Alicia, a friend who is willing to put aside her prejudices, ignore rumors, and come to be friends with her... Therefore, even though Alicia occasionally comes to the laboratory to "make trouble" and even gives Mobius some strange "ghost ideas", which makes Mobius very annoyed]

[But in the end, Mebius only complained verbally and didn't really blame Alicia for anything.]

[In addition to Blanca and Alicia, there is another person that Mobius likes, someone that Mobius thinks might understand her... That's Mei.]

[As two fellow researchers, Mei, who is very similar to him in some ways... might be able to understand him - Mobius had hoped so.]

[So Mobius took the opportunity of the seminar to go directly to meet Mei... Anyway, "Fire Moth" is also very interested in Mei, so why not let her go and test her.]

[However, after meeting Mei, Mebius was somewhat disappointed... because she, like Blanca, had fallen into the whirlpool of love, and clearly showed no signs of climbing out.]

[Maybe Mei can do better than Blanca, and know and understand Mebius better than Blanca, but... unfortunately, the relationship between Mei and Mebius will end here.]

[It doesn't matter, Mebius said it doesn't matter... She can understand that love is normal and part of human needs. This is natural. Therefore, Mebius will not say anything to Medo, but will just give her a little blessing.]

[I sigh again, this is how humans are, they slow down what they really need to do for the sake of some emotions]

[For example, Blanca gave up the idea of ​​going further because of Hen. Family and children would hinder Blanca's thoughts. Mei didn't know if it was because of her lover, but she was hesitant and conservative in various researches... She obviously had a lot of ideas. Mebius knew that Mei's ideas were even crazier than hers at some times, but in the end, she shrank back and restricted herself.]

[How can this be possible? "Evolution" requires "sacrifice", and "progress" requires "price". Such a slow pace and such hesitation will only lead to being left behind by the times and finally left in the dust of history.]

[No, this can't happen. She can't fall into this kind of "trap". Her "wish" is too far away and too difficult. Because of this, she must not let this kind of thing slow her down.]

[Unfortunately, in the end, she still stepped in unconsciously]

[It's like a gentle, sweet and soft net that one always falls into unconsciously, and its sweetness like honey always makes people forget the fact that they are falling... But fortunately, she is Mobius, and she herself realizes this.]

[But at this moment, Mebius suddenly realized, or felt, the same feelings as Blanca and Mei.]

[They clearly know what impact this choice and this approach will have on themselves, but they are willing to do so]

[And the "guy" who caused all this is you, Xiwang, the little guy that Mobius likes]

[At first, she was just impressed by your talent, and some of your opinions aroused her interest, so she wanted to meet you]

[After meeting, perhaps because of the good first impression she had of you, she doted on you and was even willing to let go of her daily routine and let you take over... In her opinion, this was no big deal. After all, there were so many things she needed to do. As a newcomer, no matter how capable you were, you couldn't keep doing it forever, right?]

[But unfortunately, Mebius was wrong. You really persisted and even arranged everything for her in an orderly manner. Not only that, you seemed to have really controlled her daily schedule, so that she was a little dazed for a while... Did she give you too much power? So much so that you were controlling her in turn.]

[At this time, Mebius didn't mind it very much. After all... she liked you very much, especially her understanding of you. She liked the sentence "If you want to "move forward", you have to pay the corresponding "price"", which was similar to her philosophy.]

[After that, Mobius became more and more familiar with your existence, and gave you more and more power... In the end, Mobius almost doubted whether she was being trained by you to be a "useless person" who could do nothing but research and experiments...]

[Mebius has gotten used to you arranging her schedule, your efficiency, and your care for her in daily life... Ha, now looking back, I can really feel how terrible "habit" is.]

[It is precisely because Mobius has become accustomed to you being by her side, and because she believes that you, who hold similar ideas to her, will definitely stay by her side, that is why... the following events will happen.]

[You are so outstanding, so outstanding that you attract too much attention from others]

[The song you dedicated to Eden made many people marvel at your artistic talent. Even without professional training, you can achieve this level. If you really plan to develop in this area, what kind of achievements will you make? ]

[But... fortunately, you don't have to worry about this. Even if your celebrity friend tried to persuade you, you have no intention of developing in that direction.]
