Chapter 12: A Date with the Snake
Mebius returned to the lab, chewing his nails excitedly.
Although the "Soul Steel Plan" and the "Honkai Warrior Plan" were ruthlessly dismissed by that old antique Famas, it didn't matter.
Those plans were just smoke bombs she put out, and the "Honkai Shoujo Plan" had nothing but that list.
And all this is just to cover up the craziest idea.
After the second collapse, she accepted the body of the Herrscher without any doubt, but... like most biological research, dead specimens are never as valuable as living samples...
Just as I was thinking about this, the doorbell of the laboratory rang.
"Haha, my little guinea pig really didn't break the appointment."
The door opened automatically, and just like last time, Mikael was still fully armed, with no trace of skin exposed to the air. The purpose is also to conceal the identity, but this time the object of the concealment is no longer Mebius, but the Fire Chaser Moth.
Mebius didn't even look back, pointing to the door on the right, gesturing for Mikael to go in.
"Get rid of that funny outfit of yours. There's no third person here."
A light blue light flashed, and the chemical protective suits and masks disappeared.
"Dr. Mebius..."
"What's wrong, little guinea pig? Do you want to regret it?"
"No, I just want to remind you two things, Doctor."
"Oh?" Mebius finally stopped chewing his nails and turned to look at Mikael behind him.
None of the laboratory lights were turned on, only the computer on her desk emitted a faint fluorescent light, intertwined with her green hair.
The darkness prevented Mikael from seeing her facial features clearly, but her voice was undoubtedly deeper.
"Say something quickly!"
"The first thing...Dr. Mebius, you should know that you and I are in the same room. As the Herrscher, I have the means to kill you before the Fire Chaser Moth finds out." Mikael's voice Calm and indifferent, as if talking about a trivial matter.
"What, are you threatening me?" Mebius' tone became a little playful, "Don't worry, I have told you before that a special and obedient guinea pig like you is not easy to find. Before I lose interest in you, I can't bear to ruin this perfect specimen of yours."
"Yeah." Mikael nodded, "I do believe this, but..."
"Dr. Mebius, can you collect the body of the Second Herrscher?"
Mebius frowned and stood up to take a look. The room she pointed out to Mikael indeed contained the half-dissected body of the Second Herrscher.
I don't know if it's because Herrscher's body has special characteristics, or because the fire-chasing moth's preservation technology has developed to this extent - nearly two days have passed, but there is neither a bad smell nor a fishy smell in the laboratory.
So much so that even though Mebius has been back in the laboratory for a while, he still hasn't discovered this problem.
"Damn Blanca, her mind is full of men... Huh, forget it, next month she can save her bonus and use it for scientific research expenses..."
Mebius decisively blamed Blanca in his mind, not caring that he also forgot about it.
"Why, is your current mood a sign of sympathy?" Mebius mocked, his eyes immediately fixed on Mikael's expression, and his fingers behind his back were also groping on the table, and he leaned on On a small red button.
Who would have thought that Mikael actually nodded very calmly: "Maybe... maybe it's because we share the same problem, or maybe it's something else. In short, it's undeniable that I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart."
Mebius exhaled slowly, pressed a button, closed the door of the laboratory on the right, and opened the laboratory on the left.
The corners of Mikael's mouth twitched...
Is this a wealthy person...
But the strange feeling in my heart did slowly subside.
"how should I do?"
He looked at a bunch of familiar instruments in the laboratory but couldn't name them, and felt a little dizzy for a moment.
Mebius stood behind him and said without thinking: "Take off your clothes first."
It was eerily quiet in the laboratory.
"Ahem!" Mikael coughed twice, but saw that Mebius had turned around consciously.
"Stand inside the instrument three steps ahead of you to your left and close the hatch."
Mebius commanded without looking back.
After hearing the sound of the hatch closing, she walked to the console and quickly found the corresponding button among the dense buttons.
A few seconds later, the data of Mikael's whole body appeared on the computer screen next to the console.
Ignoring meaningless data such as height and weight, Mebius looked at his full-body scan at first glance.
"Sure enough...Is there an extra gem on the chest? Is that the same Herrscher core as the Second Herrscher..."
"Come out, get dressed, then turn left seven steps, then turn right thirteen steps. Do you see that instrument?"
"Boom!", "Hey!" What answered her was the sound of Mikael falling.
"Dr. Mebius, could you turn on the light?"
Mebius covered his chest and took a deep breath. Two seconds later, all the lights in the laboratory came on.
"Ah sneeze!"
"Ah sneeze!"
Under the strong light, the two of them sneezed almost at the same time.
Mikael untied the data cable from his feet, walked to the instrument Mebius mentioned, and then...
"Pfft... Well, I'm sorry, doctor, I didn't mean anything else!"
Mebius appeared beside him at some point, and without blushing and without a beating heart, he took off the Famas photo sticker stuck on the target of the instrument.
"Punch this, as hard as you can."
She said with a sullen face and concisely.
"Don't worry, it's normal for my laboratory to emit a little Honkai energy reaction. Fire Chaser Moth should be used to it. I have also upgraded the upper limit of the force that the instrument can withstand based on your physical condition..."
Before he finished speaking, Mikael punched it casually, and the number on the instrument began to rise rapidly, finally stopping at 999 pounds.
"Perfect, 999 with one sword, we are brothers, come and chop me!" Looking at the magic number he punched casually, Mikael couldn't help but laugh, muttering words in a low voice that only he understood.
Mebius's breathing was obviously a little heavier. Under her wide white coat, her slender fingers gradually clenched into fists...
"Mikael..."
"What's wrong, Doctor?"
"Be serious! The upper limit of the instrument's measurement is 9999 pounds!"
What follows is nothing more than some normal physical examination items, even if there are occasional abnormalities - such as tolerance to spicy food, how many kilograms of potatoes can be eaten in one breath...
These projects, at least in Mebius's laboratory, are absolutely normal projects, so normal that they feel abnormal.
"Okay...that's it for today's experiment, get out...you can leave."
Mikael blinked, "Doctor, did you just want to tell me to get out..."
Mebius was too lazy to pay attention to this person who farted eight times in a row in her small laboratory after eating ten pounds of potatoes in one go.
The most annoying thing is that he constructed a nasal congestion in time, but never thought of giving her one!
Mikael laughed angrily twice and waved his hand as a farewell.
"Wait a moment."
As he was about to step out of the laboratory, Mebius stopped him.
She hurriedly swallowed the compressed biscuit in her mouth. Her sitting posture seemed a little uncomfortable, which made her move her buttocks involuntarily.
"puff……"
Just as Mikael turned around, he heard this insignificant sound. His expression quickly became exciting, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching, as if he was forcibly suppressing something.
"Puch!"
Finally, I couldn't hold it any longer...
Under the light, Aunt Mebius' petite face gradually turned red, as if if she poked it with her hand, blood would drip down.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she picked up the only hard object on the table next to her and threw it at Mikael.
A golden light flashed, and Mikael took it, and then his expression became playful.
After shaking the golden gem in his hand, he walked forward holding his nose and handed it back to Mebius.
Throughout the whole process, Mebius didn't say a word.
Until he was about to step out of the laboratory for the second time...
"One last thing to remind my little guinea pig...if you overload your brain like before, if it happens again, I can't guarantee whether you will wake up and become a fool..."
"I appreciate the doctor's kindness."
Mikael turned around and left the laboratory, quickly running back to the empty dormitory. He didn't let go of the sigh until his back was against the cold door.
"Mebius doesn't seem to be as dangerous as I thought...but in the end...did she do it intentionally or unintentionally?"
There used to be another member of the fifth team in the dormitory, but now...
But it also meant that he no longer had to worry about what others were observing.
In the silence and darkness, Mikael opened his right hand, and a golden gem slowly condensed in his hand, and the light emitted dispelled the darkness.
Although he does not have the incredible talent of Joyce, he seems to have a particularly special understanding of Honkai Creation. Almost at the moment of contact, Mikael understood the structure of the core of the Second Herrscher and restored it Not difficult.
But the core alone is not enough. Mikael tried to control the power in it, but the surrounding space showed no response. No wonder both Otto and Walter chose the Key of Mimicry God instead of the Herrscher Core...
but.
"Dr. Mebius, your bet is a bit high... I can't even believe in myself."
That night, Mebius couldn't sleep in bed, so he simply took out Mikael's data and looked at it carefully for half the night.
In the silent night, she could feel the beating of her heart more clearly.
In fact, everything she did to Mikael tonight was improvised, after all...
"Compared with cold experiments and cold data, letting the Herrscher grow alive is the most perfect experiment in my mind..."
"If all Herrschers... no, if all humans can evolve to look like Mikael..."
She held two scanned drawings in her hands, which revealed a seemingly impossible fact——
There seems to be a fundamental difference between the core of the First Herrscher and the core of the Second Herrscher.
