I don't know why, but recently Mobius has been showing more and more signs of giving up treatment, as if she had given up acting after his mask was torn off, and his true nature was completely exposed.
In addition to her lazy and attractive appearance at any time and place, her weird nature was also her true nature, which made Ryan miss the time when she imitated Elysia way of speaking.
At that time, Mobius seemed kind, but actually she was a little fake. He just needed to stay alert. But now she was not keeping his mouth shut, which made him grit his teeth.
In the end, Ryan didn't stuff the sock into her mouth, but as a punishment, she was not allowed to use the blood bag and could only use a syringe.
"You stingy guy! You won't die if I draw a few hundred milliliters from you." Mobius pouted and inserted the needle viciously.
"Hiss, can you be gentler? Don't let me change my mind."
"It's too late. Even if you pull your hand away now, I will suck it out for you even with my mouth."
Ryan mouth twitched. This Mobius could really do this. He looked at the blood being slowly drawn out, supported his head with his left hand, and looked at the woman in front of him carefully.
She looked very focused, her face looked unusually fair under the desk lamp, and her golden earrings swayed gently, adding a bit of liveliness to her face.
She is very beautiful, but unfortunately her mouth is not sweet like sugar.
"Mobius, sometimes I can't figure out which one is the real you. At least last night you looked like an ordinary person."
"Again, the same thing about Elysia 'true self'?" The woman didn't look up, and her tone was serious. "Learning to adapt to the environment is also part of evolution. Adjusting different personalities according to the object can make both parties more comfortable, but the core purpose cannot change."
This was the truth, but Ryan wanted to complain about how comfortable it was. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was more comfortable than when she was imitating Elysia.
She is a very smart person. She treats others with sincerity and expects others to treat him with sincerity. Mobius did make his blood pressure a little unstable, but he inadvertently gained his trust.
Without long-term contact and the bits and pieces of life, Ryan is not a loser who can't walk when he sees a woman, so how could he give her any clues?
"Do you think that some kind of trust has been established between us?" Mobius asked suddenly. She also had a high emotional intelligence, but she just disdained to use it on ordinary people.
"Well, you helped me, and I will help you too. For example, last night, how could I fall asleep if I didn't trust you?"
"Sounds like a friend?"
"We've been friends for a long time."
There was almost no pause before Ryan answered. Mobius raised his head instantly, surprise flashed in his eyes, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I like your honesty, so as a friend, can I exchange blood bags?"
"Don't be so arrogant. Friends are friends and transactions are transactions. From the perspective of helping, I have already helped enough."
Even with her thick skin, Mobius couldn't refute it. Although she didn't get Ryan secret, the Mantis Project took a big step forward, which directly accelerated her evolution.
Even though she was a little disdainful of the fusion of Honkai beast genes, since Ryan was willing to do it, it must be right.
"The results will definitely be out within half a year. If your genes are strong enough, it may be even faster. When I have free time, I will go to discuss it with Mei." Mobius pulled out the needle and pressed his hand on the wound.
She used very gentle force, finally allowing Ryan to experience tenderness, and by the way, she remembered something.
"Mei is now the director of the First Research Institute, right?"
"Yes, the First Research Institute focuses on exploring imaginary numbers. No one is more suitable than her. Besides, Mei is a good person, so the higher-ups are more assured."
Ryan nodded in agreement. Mei was a very resourceful person with unquestionable abilities. In addition, she had no background and had Kevin as a 'hostage', so of course she felt at ease.
"She is the first, you are the fifth, what are the three research institutes in between for?"
It was rare for Mobius to hear Ryan ask a question, so she answered seriously like a teacher: "The second institute is engaged in artificial intelligence and war machines, the third institute is responsible for quantum direction, and the fourth institute is mainly materials science and energetics."
Anti-Entropy, Quantum Sea, Divine Keys.
Ryan understood immediately that research was not something that could be accomplished overnight. It took a lot of accumulation before Mei and others could break through the bottleneck. Just like the Mantis Program, without Mobius preliminary research, it would take him several years to get a clue.
"If you and Mei join forces, these studies will have substantial breakthroughs. After all, you two are both geniuses and all-rounders."
Mobius felt very comfortable with this flattery, so comfortable that she even narrowed his eyes.
"You are good at talking, right? It's annoying to see those mediocre people dithering while my funding is always blocked." Mobius cursed and then shook his head rationally: "But the higher-ups won't allow it. They want to maintain the so-called balance, and they don't have the courage and determination to push open that door."
The preliminary work for the Mantiss has been completed, but the relevant results have been submitted but have fallen into oblivion.
This is normal. The physical transformation project that Mobius was in charge of before was just to tap into the potential of humans, while the Mantiss are to transform humans into something else.
"When faced with a life and death situation, they didn't have the courage to push open that door, at least not on the surface." Mobius smile became more and more sarcastic. Combined with the previous data theft, it was so stupid that it was hard to describe.
"It takes extraordinary courage for politicians to consider their own reputation and to turn humans into something else." Ryan understands this approach very well. Politics is all about wrangling and passing the buck.
If humans can defeat Honkai, then what should be done with these aliens? Should all humans undergo fusion surgery and become aliens?
"Survival is the first instinct, but unfortunately this kind of pressure can only be exerted by the Herrscher." Ryan sighed, and his phone vibrated, so he unlocked it and took a look, then grinned inch by inch, "But I can also use some tricks to advance this progress."
Mobius didn't notice this little move, she just snorted in annoyance: "Come on, once you kill them all you'll find that the people who replace them are even more stupid."
"No need to kill. I'm dealing with a human being, not a brainless Herrscher."
Ryan turned the phone over and handed it to Mobius, who looked up with confusion written all over his emerald eyes.
It was a message from an unknown mailbox. It only contained a series of numbers. With her intelligence, she quickly guessed what it meant.
"Map coordinates?"
"Smart, it's exactly the coordinate. Remember Vil-V?"
"That 'magician'? I see. The one who revealed my whereabouts was indeed someone inside the Fire Moth. Did they ask you to kill her?"
"On the contrary, someone wants her to shut up, and someone wants me to save her life." Ryan smiled and dragged the laptop on the table and began to open the map to enter the coordinates.
After entering the longitude and latitude, the map quickly focused on Montpellier, a small town in the southwest of Mu Continent.
Mobius suddenly realized something. She remembered that Vil-V was an expert at making machines. She frowned and asked, "Are you still connected with the Pure Blood Faction?"
"How is it possible? In their eyes, I have already become a monster. The people who silenced her are Pure Blood. Some people want to see them get into trouble, which coincides with my plan." Ryan smile turned cold. Now that the world line has been changed, let the storm come even harder.
For example, he was very envious of the Second and Fourth Research Institutes, and he also understood that humans had no right to waste time, and should take this opportunity to clear obstacles and implement the Mantis Program.
Isn't it because of cherishing talent, but just a political conspiracy?
Mobius also became a little sarcastic. She disdained to get involved in the affairs of the upper class. Since Ryan was willing to help, it would be nice to share some of the benefits.
"The Third Herrscher has sounded the alarm. The Honkai Impact is so terrible, but they are still clinging to one path and refusing to give up. They should wake up."
"It's not that simple. Eliminating the opponent in the name of justice is essentially just for those few seats. The Fire Moth is a rare commodity now, and there are bigwigs everywhere who want to join the game, but there are only forty six seats in the parliament, so we have to make room."
Ryan has seen through the essence of the matter. Now that Honkai has been exposed to the world, the Fire Moth, as the only organization against Honkai, has greatly increased its power. Without going into details, even if a certain area is turned into a key defense area, the benefits are unimaginable.
Those elite warriors full of ideals are essentially no different from servants. With "fighting against Honkai" as the major premise, letting some "unsuitable" people step down is also a "blessing" for mankind.
These words were very brainwash. If it were Hua, she would probably be stunned on the spot. However, Mobius only thought for a moment, figured out the key points, and then yawned.
"It's so boring. There are so many things I can do with all this energy."
"I don't want to do it either, but I'm the only one who can do it at this stage."
"Who will be there in the future?" Mobius was a little surprised, but Ryan had some ambitions and he would control the Fire Moth sooner or later.
"Mei."
"Well, with that woman ruthlessness, she is indeed suitable for doing these things." Mobius finally took back the cotton swab and warned: "What you do is beneficial to me, but be careful and don't get yourself into trouble."
Ryan felt reluctant to leave. It was rare for him to see Mobius acting like a human being, so he pulled off the sleeves of his shirt.
"Don't worry. Why do you think I stayed underground with you? As your witness, I never left."
Mobius was stunned and felt that the man in front of him became unfamiliar. He was not only a scholar and a warrior, but also a conspirator who had planned everything long ago.
Her lips moved slightly, but she couldn't utter the words "add money". She knew that Ryan said this out of trust, and the relationship between them became much closer.
"The emergency exit is right next to the deep laboratory. I will make the experiment fail and cut off the power to the entire Fifth Institute for a few minutes. You'd better be quick and come back quickly."
Ryan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Mobius to be so straightforward. He had been prepared to be ripped off.
"My impression of you has changed. I also like this kind of human touch. Let's go to the movies together next time."
"Hmph, I've already said that what you're doing is in my interest. I don't want something I've worked so hard to develop to be inapplicable." Mobius turned his head away, listening to the footsteps fading away, and couldn't help but shout, "Wait, I have one more thing to do."
Are you still unwilling to give in?
Ryan paused at the door and sighed inwardly. Although he was a little unhappy, it was nothing more than drawing two more tubes of blood.
He turned around indifferently and saw a black thing flying towards him. He grabbed it subconsciously and his expression became interesting.
This is a pair of black stockings. Judging from the scratches on the thigh, it was the same pair that was damaged during the "hand-to-hand combat" in the car. I was immediately puzzled.
"What... do you mean by this?"
Mobius tilted his head, his expression couldn't be seen, but his voice remained steady.
"Since you are leaving and I have nothing to give you as a gift, just use this as a talisman."
What kind of talisman is this?!
Ryan really wanted to cut open this woman's head to see what she was thinking. It was simply out of the blue. And how could he use this thing as a talisman? Should he wear it on his feet or tie it around his neck?
He must be trying to trick me again, so I must stay calm at this time.
Ryan did not show any panic expression. He just sniffed it lightly, put it in his trouser pocket, walked out the door, and spoke only at the moment of closing the door.
"Next time, remember to wash it before giving it to others. Don't you know that athlete's foot is contagious?"
Boom.
The door was closed, followed by a muffled sound. Mobius threw out the high-heeled shoes with all his strength. Then his face turned slightly red, and she held on to the table and gasped.
Die outside now!
