The appearance of little Mei surprised Thea a little.
This Mei is different from the Raiden Mei she knows, maybe this is also because of her father's influence.
There was a huge difference in the personalities of the two of them, the Raiden Mei she knew was very gentle and loving, while this Mei was very rational due to the pressure of her childhood.
However, Mei is well aware that she will become the heir to MEC if her loyal father does not want to have another son.
The Honkai Impact plot in Changkong City will also begin when Mei attends a high school at Senba Academy. It would be another 7 years or so before plot time arrived.
Before Mei turned into an academy monster and evolved into the scientist everyone wanted, Thea didn't mind being friends with her.
This is an investment with very high returns.
"You're welcome, you also have to study harder to make your mother proud, okay?"
"Um, I will."
Seeing cute Mei, pretending to be an adult. Thea smiled and stroked her hair gently.

Negotiations with the Raiden family were a great success. After providing cancer curing technology and curing his wife Ryoma, the IPC company was introduced to the country's defense minister who was a member of a branch of the Ryoma family, and IPC now had access to the military field.
It had to be said, the noble family's roots were truly deep.
Collaborating with the Raiden family also has an unexpected additional reward. Seeing that the IPC company has cutting-edge medical technology, Ryoma invites them to research a disease that has recently spread throughout the world.
Patients will have streaks of purple sores on their skin, and the side effects range from vomiting blood to losing their minds and turning into deranged undead.
Of course Thea knew what it was, it was Honkai disease.
Doctors and scientists on the front lines currently still have no significant progress towards treating this disease. Seeing the opportunity arrived, Thea without hesitation released the first generation Honkai inhibitor serum.
Profits go hand in hand with risks, after getting rid of greedy people, giving cold warnings to the doubters, and binding common interests, the IPC company finally succeeded in becoming an international company.
Changkong City, which is the IPC headquarters, has succeeded in becoming the city with the least spread of Honkai disease. By joining hands together, the city of Changkong is now controlled by the IPC company and the Raiden family.
IPC's leading biomedical technology has also succeeded in attracting a variety of young talents, one of which is Mobius.
According to the current timeline, the current Mobius has just left her home and is walking her own path to immortality. Through various [coincidental] operations, Mebius finally received scholarship sponsorship from IPC, and received free education for the company's young talents.
____
Garden of Avalon....
Mobius, who had just entered the IPC company as fresh blood, was currently taking a walk in the park to freshen up.
This park was built by the IPC company with its head office as the center point. Hearing its name, everyone could tell how ambitious this company was.
After considering various aspects offered by other organizations, Mobius was very satisfied with the attitude provided by IPC.
Both access to high-level science and the academy are wide open for her. Professional knowledge also has many categories in the company library.
Little Mobius initially intended to use her research patents on medicine to find a place to live after her parents died. But what she didn't expect, her research was noticed by the IPC company, and she got a sponsor.
This is the luck of a genius.
At this time, Mobius has also found the research direction she wants to study. The honkai disease that has recently emerged among society allows her to see further potential for human development.
Before joining the company, Mobius had seen someone infected with honkai disease. Her father, and the beggar who lives under the bridge.
People might see the beggar who went crazy as a monster, but to her, it was a beauty that could not be expressed in words.
Like God's gift to the creation, those who fail will perish, and those who survive will receive their reward. This disease pushed human evolution so fast that it knocked the door off Darwin's coffin.
It was the characteristics of honkai itself that fascinated Mobius. If she could manage and control this disease, she might be able to get one step closer to what she was looking for.
Because of this, Mobius was currently thinking about how to demonstrate her own value to the company, and obtain additional resources for her new research.
"It looks familiar, where have I seen her?"
While taking a walk in the park, Mobius suddenly became interested in a little girl with green hair who was currently sitting on a park bench.
She had bags under her eyes, telling a thousand tales of battles of wits and logic, and right now she was staring blankly at the birds perched around her.
The more Mobius looked at this familiar face, she suddenly remembered the legend of a famous scientist from the IPC company.
A little girl who is the same genius as herself, the backbone of the biomedical department, the developer of cancer technology and also the creator of the first generation honkai inhibitor serum.
Yssring Leavtruth.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Mobius face.
"Hi girl over there~ are you my Senior?"
"Ah, who?"
Like a snake entangling its prey, the birds around Yssring flew away in fear, and Mobius immediately sat down next to her like an old acquaintance.
Taking advantage of her gender as a fellow female, Mobius entangled Yssring's hands tightly, and she brought her body closer very aggressively.
Yssring blushed.
Mebius' smile grew wider.
"Nice to meet you Senior, my name Mobius. Maybe next year I will go to your department, so please help me in the future~"
"N-Nice to meet you... Wait, isn't this too close!? Who are you!?"
Seeing Yssring blushing embarrassedly, Mebius licked her lips just like a snake entangling its prey tightly.
____
Of course, who is entangled depends on each individual's perspective. For Thea, Mebius had fallen into her trap.
Yssring is one of the dolls she created modeled after the Herrscher of Domination. Not only her, but almost all of the IPC employees are dolls created by Thea.
They have different identities, feelings and personalities just like humans. If they didn't jump over the fence and suddenly change personality, no one would know that they were all Thea.
Thanks to the Signet of Helix that Evil Vill-V gave her, currently Thea has no problem dividing and controlling multiple personalities at the same time.
Mobius meeting with Yssring was already in Thea's script. But what she didn't expect, this green snake happily fell into the trap.
Thea could only shrug her shoulders helplessly.

Another five months passed, and after careful searching, the IPC finally managed to find the whereabouts of most of the Flame-Chasers members.
Sifting through three orphanages in the city of Vostok-51, Thea finally succeeded in finding Elysia, who is currently still living in an orphanage in the southern region.
Thea was in no rush to see her.
Looking at the picture sent by one of her [employees], Thea saw a little girl with pink hair, wearing simple clothes, but could not hide her beauty that had not yet bloomed.
What was unforgettable was her eyes, a pair of clean and bright eyes, containing boundless love and enthusiasm for the world, as if she was an angel who had descended to earth while bringing light and warmth to everyone.
Looking at the photos and secret documents in her hand, Thea smiled.
"I found you, Elysia."
