Girl, Who Are You?

When it came to Griseo, she was a good child. When it came to good children, it was Griseo. Although she was young, she was undoubtedly the most worry-free person for Unit 03—but it also meant that she couldn't get much wool from this child.

Such a Griseo usually wouldn't complain even if Elysia rubbed her face red, she was the softest persimmon in the entire Fire Moth—and now she was actually resisting others so fiercely, and it was her own mother, Bianka?!

Even if Lihua's brain wasn't working well, she still felt something was wrong at this moment.

"You bad guys… bad guys! I'll fight you all!"

"Enough, Griseo, a child should act like a child!"

"I'm not a child, I've lived for a long time, I'm free—ah?!"

Clearly not a MANTIS warrior, yet she could pin a MANTIS warrior down and spank her… Was this the power of a mother?

Looking at Bianka, who had a gloomy face and started to carry out family law, Lihua awkwardly looked away. Judging from the impression in her memory, Bianka should be a gentle and elegant woman, and shouldn't do such a thing… Was there really something wrong?

Everyone in the entire Elysian Realm seemed to have become a bit extreme. Lihua originally thought it might be because of the power of the kebab, but now it seemed that something might be affecting them.

After all, Griseo didn't see the kebab scene at all. When Bianka covered her eyes, Ato quickly covered her ears. Before that, Griseo didn't behave too excitedly, but now she was suddenly angry, and showed a personality completely different from her own…

This situation involuntarily reminded Lihua of the sequelae caused by Griseo's MANTIS surgery, which was that she would unconsciously be affected by others and become like them in personality.

But Lee set up a simple consciousness filter for Griseo a long time ago, and the consciousness of normal interactions couldn't affect Griseo at all—but if it was a consciousness strong enough to even affect and infect other people in the Elysian Realm, then it would be normal for Griseo to be affected.

Who in the Elysian Realm could do such a thing?

Vill-V might be able to do such a thing, but her current situation looked like she had lost her soul, and she didn't look like the one who caused these things. And Aponia and Su didn't look like they were influencing others, but rather like they were being influenced. Their eyes were almost red…

Could it only be some kind of power that wasn't present?

MEI shouldn't do this kind of thing, so there was only a third-party force… Perhaps she should remind Elysia, after all, she was the owner of the Eighth Divine Key, and had the ability to isolate consciousness attacks. No matter what was hidden behind the current anomaly, if she was on guard, not many existences could easily control her.

"Elysia—uh, Dr. Mobius, you're hurting my wrist…"

Lihua just about to call out to Elysia, but suddenly felt a pain in her wrist, and looked at Mobius beside her with some confusion: "What happened? I have something to tell Elysia…"

"…What's there to talk about with her." Mobius's voice was cold, although the strength in her hand immediately lessened, she still didn't intend to let go. "You're just seeing the chaos here and want her to help others calm down—she can't do it, that woman doesn't have the ability at all."

"It's been thousands of years, if she had the ability to calm everyone here, she would have made this so-called Elysian Realm a real paradise long ago… and she wouldn't have brought you to this place."

No, actually, what she wanted to say wasn't this…

"Humph, the expression on your face is still worried… So you're still worried about the people here?" Looking at the explosions and flames that filled the surroundings, Mobius snorted coldly.

"These people, there's nothing to worry about. Even if they die in this space, they will be resurrected… Or do you think they are too crazy and feel that they are being influenced by external forces?"

Seeing Lihua's awkward expression of being guessed correctly, Mobius's eyes momentarily lost focus—as expected, this reaction of worrying about others no matter what the situation…

"…Your name is Lihua now, right?"

"Well, I've always been called Lihua, if I have to say, it's just that I had a surname when I was a child, Lihua Kaslana…"

"Okay, Lihua, listen carefully—you don't need to pay attention to these guys here, what happens to them has nothing to do with you, do you understand? Whether it's killing each other or being influenced is their own business, you don't need to pay attention to these dead souls who have already drowned in past memories."

"You shouldn't have entered this place from the beginning, you should leave…" Mobius raised her head and looked at Lihua with faint eyes. "You're still alive… If you're alive, then you should stay away from these guys who bring misfortune in dark corners, and embrace the sunlight."

"Come with me, I'll take you away from this so-called Elysian Realm."

18 million days, Mobius had been in this Elysian Realm for too long, long enough for her to study the composition of the Eighth Divine Key itself, long enough for her to find a way to leave this place and return to reality.

But she didn't do it—even if she left this Elysian Realm and regained her life, what was the point for her?

Everything she cherished was gone, did she want to learn from Elysia and Hua and devote herself to a group of humans with a low level of civilization? It was better to continue doing her meaningless research in the Elysian Realm alone.

But it was different now. Mobius could feel that the emotions in her heart were unprecedentedly surging, the anger towards humanity, the sadness and despair towards Lee's ending—and an almost unspeakable sense of mission.

The last time she failed, this time she had to protect Lee, protect her by any means… Now Lihua was Lee's reincarnation, then of course she had to protect Lihua!

First, take her away from these bastards, and then find a safe place for her to live in seclusion—for this, she had to leave this Elysian Realm without Elysia knowing.

Over the years, Mobius had also made some preparations against Elysia. She originally thought they wouldn't be useful, but she didn't expect them to be meaningful now.

"Leave the Elysian Realm…?"

Lihua didn't know what Mobius's proposal was for, but she definitely couldn't just leave a group of lunatics who might do anything without her knowing and leave the Elysian Realm directly—not to mention that Mobius, this mad scientist, also wanted to go out?!

"Um, it's not a good time to leave now, is it…?" Lihua smiled helplessly. "And if we're leaving, I should at least tell Elysia first, right?"

"Don't go to Elysia!" Mobius rarely showed signs of anxiety.

She had just used the anti-Elysia armament she got from Vill-V to eliminate her presence in the other party's eyes. If Lihua went to talk to Elysia now, it would be troublesome.

"But after all, it was Elysia who invited me here…"

"She didn't have good intentions from the beginning!" Mobius said angrily in a low voice. "She knows best what her purpose is for bringing you here. That woman who only has herself in her mind just regards you as a shadow of the past! The reason why she brought you from the outside world to the Elysian Realm is just to let those fools here have fun, just like monkeys caught in the zoo, for people to watch and marvel at!"

Good heavens, wasn't this a bit too harsh a diss, and Elysia couldn't hear it?!

Lihua tried to look for Elysia, but found that the pink-haired girl, who was still sitting in her seat just now, had gone somewhere. She felt that the expression on her face was about to freeze. These Previous Era guys were so troublesome…

"I think Elysia is a good person, she shouldn't have these bad intentions… Is it that Dr. Mobius is thinking too much?"

"Thinking too much? You have also seen how dangerous the Elysian Realm is. Even that Herrscher died hundreds of times after coming here! With your strength, you can't protect yourself here at all, and Elysia didn't consider this at all and brought you in by force—"

"It's not a good habit to speak ill of others behind their backs, Mobius." A cheerful but cold voice sounded behind Lihua. Elysia, who had appeared behind Lihua at some point, easily pulled away Mobius's hand that was tightly gripping Lihua's wrist, and smiled. "The reason why I dared to bring little Lihua here is of course because I have confidence in protecting her~"

"But you, Mobius, what are you sneaking around and grabbing little Lihua for?"

Did the anti-Elysia armament lose its effect so quickly? It was really not surprising. The inventions made by Vill-V were always useless!

"Give Lihua back to me." Mobius extended her hand towards Elysia with a gloomy expression. "I want to take her away from here."

"That won't do~ Since I brought little Lihua in, of course I have to take her out myself—after she recovers."

"Recovers…?" Lihua pointed blankly at those people in the distance who were almost beating their brains out. "I'm not injured. If I have to say, I think they may need to recover more…"

"Little Lihua, I'm not talking about superficial injuries, but the shackles on the soul~" Elysia smiled, but her eyes were only resolute. "You might hate me… but I'm sorry, I have to do this."

"If the soul really exists, then memories are the thing that can touch it the most. If we use Lee's memories in the core as a guide, maybe… No matter what, even if I commit the most vicious crimes, I will bring her back from the other side."

Before Lihua could say anything, Mobius on the side said excitedly first, "What nonsense are you talking about, Elysia, she finally got rid of everything, and you still want to bring her back and torture her?!"

"She should stay away from things that will hurt her—especially stay away from you!"

Looking at Elysia and Mobius who were vying for her ownership, Lihua just wanted to say—what about her opinion?

Is there anyone who will listen to her opinion?

"It's really ridiculous, these people, even at this time, they still say it's for others, but actually, they are all thinking about themselves."

That makes so much sense, who said these words of wisdom—

Lihua turned her head and looked at the familiar face in front of her, completely dumbfounded.

"Whether it's dragging you away or forcing you to accept the memories in this core, they ultimately hope that you will become what they expect—sigh, I am always influenced like this, it's really frustrating to think about it."

The reason was simple. The person standing behind Lihua, shaking her head and saying words that made her feel deeply touched, had a sense of déjà vu in her appearance—just like what Unit 03 would see when she looked in the mirror every day.

This white hair that was exactly the same as Lee's, these eyes that were exactly the same as hers—no, girl, who are you?!
