Chapter 33: Exploding with Him

Two days later, at the First Research Institute.

Klein was processing piles of documents as usual. When she saw Ai Yue swaggering in, she greeted him weakly: "Dr. Ai Yue, why are you here?"

"Where's Mobius?" Ai Yue looked around and went to the room he had used before, but he didn't see the green figure. "I have something to ask her."

"Dr. Mobius is in operating room number two..." Klein replied subconsciously, and then she saw Ai Yue walking inside. She quickly stood up and tried to stop him, "Wait, please wait! The doctor's work is very important now, and she can't be disturbed... Oops!"

Perhaps due to long-term desk work, Klein's physical condition was quite unimpressive. She just stood up and took two steps before she stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

In the end, it was Ai Yue who helped her up, preventing the fragile girl from falling face first onto the ground.

"Thank you." Klein stood up and took a deep breath, but still firmly grasped Ai Yue's arm, "But you really can't go in now."

"Let him in." Mobius' voice suddenly came from the loudspeaker in the corner of the ceiling, "Remember to wear protective clothing."

Klein then let go of his hand, silently nodded to apologize to Ai Yue, and then returned to her seat to continue working.

"Can you do this?" Ai Yue did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked at Klein who was working hard and asked, "If you continue like this, you might die suddenly one day."

"It doesn't matter. I'm not important." Klein said nonchalantly, "But if the progress of the project is delayed due to laziness, it will delay a lot of things."

Ai Yue could only shake his head slightly at Klein's attitude and stop asking questions.

The second operating room is located in the northwest corner of the First Institute. When Ai Yue put on his protective suit and walked in, he happened to meet two people who were also wearing protective suits walking out. It was difficult for Ai Yue to distinguish the other party's identities through the protective suits that wrapped them tightly. However, based on the known information, these two people should be Mobius's other two assistants, Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu.

"Hello, Dr. Ai Yue, is this the first time we meet?"

Ai Yue was still thinking about how to start the conversation when the other party took the initiative to greet him: "My name is Dan Zhu, and this is my sister Cang Xuan. We are both assistants to Dr. Mobius!"

"Hello." Ai Yue nodded, responding to Dan Zhu, "Why did you come out? Is the operation over?"

"Ah, how should I put it." Dan Zhu was stunned for a moment, then said, "Although it is an operating room, this room basically never performs surgeries in the general sense, but..."

"Dan Zhu, you talk too much." Cang Xuan interrupted Dan Zhu, then looked at Ai Yue with an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, Dr. Ai Yue, my sister never stops talking... The situation at the institute is quite complicated, so it would be better for you to ask Dr. Mobius directly. We'll take our leave now."

Compared with the simple-minded Dan Zhu, Cang Xuan obviously considered more things. After nodding to Ai Yue, she pulled her confused sister to make way.

Ai Yue just asked casually and didn't expect these two to give any unexpected information, so he didn't care and just pushed the door and walked into the operating room.

Unlike the three people who were wrapped tightly, Mobius simply put on a white coat and exposed herself to the high-risk environment. The Fusion Warrior's fearlessness of Honkai energy radiation was fully demonstrated at this moment. It is hard not to suspect that Mobius performed the surgery on herself for this reason.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the...creature placed on the operating table.

It vaguely had the outline of a human figure, but its body was covered with all kinds of twisted and deformed growths, completely turning into a monster. However, these changes came to an abrupt halt before they could wrap around the entire body, apparently being forcibly stopped by an external force.

Even though Ai Yue had never seen such a deformed body, the knowledge he gained from the Fusion Warrior allowed him to recognize the identity of this monster at a glance.

The loser of Fusion Warrior surgery.

"Come, give me a hand." When Mobius saw Ai Yue coming in, she was not polite at all. She pointed at the opening of the other party's chest and said, "You open this place and I will cut out the deformed tissue inside."

Ai Yue walked forward and followed Mobius' instructions, but his mouth was not idle: "Why did you tell Pardofelis about the Fusion Warrior surgery?"

"Pardofelis? Oh, is she the girl who came to the Fire Moth with you?" Mobius didn't even look up, and didn't even pause in her movements. "I saw her medical report, it was very good, so when I met her that day, I asked her, what's wrong?"

"Stay away from Pardo from now on." Ai Yue said bluntly, "I can't control you if you kidnap others, but don't harm my family."

"I didn't expect you to be so... um, protective?" Mobius got what she wanted, and signaled Ai Yue to let go. "Don't worry, I won't force others to participate in my surgery."

"That's why I just came here to tell you." Ai Yue glanced at the body on the operating table again. "Also, if the success rate doesn't improve significantly, don't perform Fusion Warrior surgery anymore. That will only result in more meaningless sacrifices."

"Well said." Mobius smiled slightly, "Why don't we wait until the Honkai disaster occurs and let the ordinary soldiers face it?"

Mobius' words were full of sarcasm, but Ai Yue couldn't refute for a while.

Indeed, the difficulties faced by humans today do not allow them to face them so easily. One more Fusion Warrior may be able to avoid the sacrifice of dozens or even hundreds of ordinary soldiers.

"I've read your previous report." Mobius continued, "It's a very good design to use the information of the redundant regions of the genome to actively create redundant distortions during the Fusion Warrior surgery to increase the success rate of the surgery."

As she spoke, she gently stroked the deformed body on the operating table. "Before you, I was also exploring this area. However, 13 people died on my operating table, but the data I obtained was not enough to establish a complete theoretical model. How ridiculous."

Ai Yue suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the room became depressing. He lowered his head slightly and noticed that a dark shadow had appeared under his feet.

No, that was not a shadow, but some other real substance. The sticky and strange feeling was like a hunting poisonous snake, making people feel stuffy in the chest and difficult to breathe.

"Tell me, Ai Yue." Mobius looked into Ai Yue's eyes, "What on earth are you?"
