Chapter 146

...

"Klein~ Come here, let me touch your face~"

"Hmm~ it's really a satisfying feeling~"

"Indeed, Klein's face is so soft."

"Elysia, Aslaug, please stop touching my face," Klein protested.

Sitting on the sofa, Elysia, after receiving the milk tea from Klein, habitually rubbed her face against Klein's. Out of curiosity, Bai Mo also tentatively placed her hand on Klein's face.

Sure enough, it was indeed very soft!

Unable to resist, the two of them indulged in rubbing Klein's face for a while. Eventually, after having their fill of both touch and pinch, they finally let her go.

"I need to get back to work. The doctor will be here soon, so please wait here for a while," Klein said as she managed to escape their playful clutches. After all, there was still plenty of work awaiting her.

Klein thought to herself that if she ever worked for a company, she would undoubtedly be the employee of the month and top salesperson every time.

Being as thoughtful as she was, Klein poured another cup of milk tea for the two of them before heading towards her studio.

"Good luck, Klein!"

"Remember to take breaks and rest!" Bai Mo added with a smile.

After watching Klein leave, Bai Mo found herself idle again. Fortunately, Elysia was still with her in spirit, so it wasn't too boring.

...

A little while later, Mobius completed her research and approached Bai Mo.

With a slight smile, Mobius handed something that looked like a mask to Bai Mo.

"Tomorrow, you're going to rescue Rin. This is for you. I believe you'll find it useful," Mobius said.

"Is this... a mask?" Bai Mo asked, curiously examining the transparent, oval face mold in front of her eyes.

"That's right, little white mouse. Vill-V made this mask a long time ago. I've since added some nanotechnology to its surface."

"Once you wear it, you can alter its appearance according to your thoughts, which will help you avoid revealing your true identity."

"Really? Let me try it!"

Excited by Mobius's explanation, Bai Mo immediately put the mask on her face.

It felt cool and soft against her skin, much like applying a facial mask.

Then, as Bai Mo concentrated, the mask's appearance changed according to her thoughts.

After trying out various looks, Bai Mo couldn't put it down.

Perfect! Tomorrow, when she goes to the Schicksal headquarters, She'll change het face to look like Kallen!

Bai Mo thought with a mischievous smile, her playful spirit fully awakened.

"Thank you so much, Mobius!"

She expressed her gratitude, but Mobius brushed it off. "Don't think too much, little white mouse. This is just my reward for getting me out."

"Alright, now that I've said everything, I'll return to my experiment. If you don't want to end up on my operating table, you'd better leave quickly," Mobius added, her smile barely hidden.

Though Mobius put up a tough front, she secretly remembered everything Bai Mo had done for her, from taking her out of the Elysian Realm to reuniting her with Klein, Nuwa, and Fuxi.

After all, even though Serpents are cold-blooded creatures, they still have a heart.

"Ahem... then Elysia and I won't disturb you any further, Doctor!"

Taking the mask, Bai Mo quickly made her exit. Even though she knew Mobius was just being stubborn, she didn't want to push her luck.

After leaving Mobius's laboratory, Bai Mo trotted back to her villa.

She spent the rest of the day playing with the mask alongside Elysia, the two of them altering their appearances to prank each other.

Time flew by, and soon, it was the next morning...

Bai Mo, Elysia, Sakura, and Kalpas arrived at a private airport under the World Serpent's control, bathed in the morning sunlight.

They stood before a small battleship, which they would use to infiltrate the headquarters of Schicksal.

Thanks to Vill-V's modifications, the battleship was perfectly suited for their mission.

"Are we really just going to head straight to Schicksal's headquarters without any plan?" Sakura asked, her doubts evident as she looked at Bai Mo.

Coming from COCOON and Fire Moth, Ying had always followed mission plans meticulously. This would be her first time entering an enemy's base camp without any strategy.

"There's no need for any complicated plans. They can't beat us anyway," Bai Mo shrugged off Sakura's concerns, speaking calmly.

After all, Shibao had already caused chaos at Schicksal by herself, so why couldn't she do the same with her group?

"That's right, Herrscher! Let's crush them all!" Kalpas exclaimed, adjusting the mask on his face. He was the first to board the battleship, taking a seat in the last row and obediently fastening his seatbelt.

"Okay, Sakura, don't be so nervous. We'll definitely bring Rin back safely."

"Beautiful girls can do anything~" Elysia, who was sharing Bai Mo's body, gently patted Sakura's shoulder.

"Thank you, everyone..." Sakura whispered, glancing at the sword on her waist with a determined look. She gripped it tightly, hoping for a successful mission.

"We're all companions, Sakura. What are you saying? Alright, it's getting late. Let's set off!"

"Yes."

With that, they quickly boarded the battleship. Activating the automatic cruise mode, optical stealth, signal jamming, and other small pieces of advanced technology, they successfully began their one-day mission to Schicksal.

The battleship's red tail flames roared as it effortlessly broke the sound barrier, soaring high into the sky.

After everyone had left... in a corner of the airport...

"Sister Snake! Sister Eden! Little Griseo and Brother Kosma, so you're all here. I thought I was the only one here today."

Pardo, who had secretly come to see off Bai Mo and the others, suddenly spotted some familiar figures not far away.
