Chapter 177 The Girl and the Snake

"Puff--"

The hydraulic door slid to one side, making a dull and harsh echo.

The footsteps of the visitor paused for this, as if she was afraid of being discovered.

After a slight hesitation, she quickly jumped into the dark laboratory without a trace of light, as if jumping into a bottomless abyss.

"Puff--"

The hydraulic door closed automatically, and the last trace of light was also cut off.

"Mebius, Mebius?"

The visitor called out twice tentatively, but unfortunately there was no response.

"Oh! Mebius is not here? I miscalculated... But it doesn't matter, help her organize her wardrobe first!"

Ellie touched the ornament on her chest and hummed a proud tune softly-[Well... This brooch matches the skirt quite well, but the hairpin and collar badge are completely unsuitable. I have to ask Eden to help me design a uniform later... Of course, dear Mebius must also come with a set of all sizes! 】

She touched the cold metal closet door very skillfully, and then entered the password that Padu told her - with a "click", the closet was unlocked successfully.

"Let me see... It's true... Dear Mobius, you treat yourself too badly. You only wear a white coat and a green shirt. No wonder you are so unpopular with boys!"

Alicia took away her white coat and green shirt considerately and stuffed them into the pipes on the ceiling of the laboratory, and then hung the three sets of maid outfits she had prepared and the plain white dress she bought during the day in the closet.

She took out a marker and wrote elegant and beautiful words on the closet door:

[Hi! Dear Mobius, this is a gift that Alicia and I carefully selected for you! I look forward to seeing you wearing one of these in front of me tomorrow morning - I will be very happy! ]

[——Mikael left]

"Click!"

The lights in the laboratory suddenly lit up, and then, crisp applause rang out slowly.

"Alicea, oh no, Mikael, right! Maid outfit, right! You did it all, right!"

Mebius stood in an inconspicuous corner, looking at the handwriting left by Alicea and the clothes exposed in the closet that had not been closed, his eyes almost spitting fire.

"Hey... Hey Mebius, you are here..."

Alice turned around, moved her position, and tried to close the closet door with her back.

Mebius appeared beside her almost instantly, pushed her away, and threw out all three maid outfits.

But when her little hand reached out to the slightly wide white dress, she suddenly stopped moving.

She snorted coldly and closed the closet door heavily.

Alice stood aside, and after witnessing her actions throughout the whole process, the smile on the corner of her mouth rippled like water waves, and she couldn't stop it.

"Come with me."

Mebius sneered and opened the secret door of the confidential laboratory.

"Wow! So there's a lot of secrets here! I was wondering where my dear Mobius came from... Really, you're not in the room, nor in the laboratory. I almost thought you were lost!"

"Ailishia, you can shut up if you can't talk!"

Stepping into the secret door, it was Mobius' real laboratory. Dark green light floated in the narrow and closed space. Various lines were crisscrossed underfoot, and various instruments whose names could not be called were randomly piled up. It was even difficult to turn around.

"Mobius, have you ever considered making the space here bigger? It's really... too small, right?"

Ally's words were clearly just stating facts, but when they reached Mobius' ears, he always felt that they were meant to be meaningful.

So she turned around and tiptoed imperceptibly, trying to prove that she was "not small".

But Elly boldly stretched out her hand and placed it on her head, ruffled her hair in her incredible eyes, and then pressed down the height she was standing on tiptoe.

"Alicea!"

There was already a green arc flashing on Mobius' body. Ai Li quickly let go of his hand and glanced at the laboratory as if nothing had happened. Finally, her eyes fell on the girl who was not as tall as her shoulders. She chuckled and said:

"What a nostalgic scene... There was a similar scene when I was chasing the fire moth, right? But this time, no matter how you tiptoe, you can't surpass me!"

The anger that Mobius had just surged suddenly dissipated, replaced by an indescribable emotion.

Her eyes flickered a few times, and then she squinted impatiently:

"...It's so boring! However, Alicea, I still want to remind you: the space in the laboratory is completely sufficient in terms of height. The reason why you feel cramped is actually very simple - Alicea, you are fat."

Alicea's playful smile gradually froze on her face.

Seeing that she had won back a city, Mobius's mood instantly improved a lot.

She no longer entangled with the many emotions that she didn't understand, but directly brought Ai Li to a petri dish.

"Alicea, if I'm not mistaken, your real target is this, right?"

"Yes, Mebius, I didn't expect you to know me so well in private!"

Alicea gently touched the petri dish with her fingertips, and the sudden force caused the pink cell tissue inside to turn over.

"Da Zizai Tian... Among all the Houkai beasts recorded by humans, its combat power is definitely not the strongest one, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as [weak]. But it is undoubtedly the most dangerous one - because it is too easy to kill, and too difficult to kill. It is precisely because of this that the definition of the Dharma-Ending Level is given. It is not simply that the combat power is superior to the Judgment Level, but it refers to the infinite possibilities in terms of mechanism... How come this is the Houkai beast you are interested in?"

"Of course!"

Aili smiled and nodded, but her eyes quietly moved away from the organization of Da Zizai Tian.

"General Houkai beasts look weird, but the shape of Da Zizai Tian's clone looks cute enough, and the color of its body is also my favorite pink!"

"Tsk."

Mebius sneered unhappily.

The only one who can be picky about the fusion factor is this woman... No, there is also him...

"Alicia, you have to think carefully. Theoretically, the higher the level of Honkai Beast, the more difficult the fusion operation will be. Sakura did not make any mistakes when she fused the Yasha factor, but when I fused Shesha, although the operation was successful, it also destroyed my body tissues. If it weren't for the ability given by Shesha, I would have been dead by now."

"Oh! Are you concerned about me, Mebius?"

Mebius secretly clenched his fists.

"Or... let me think about it - Sakura fused with the Emperor-level Honkai Beast Yasha, and Kevin fused with the Emperor-level Honkai Beast Pavanti... Hey, here is the operation record: Aponia, Emperor-level Midoro... Ugh! I'm angry! Aponia didn't tell me that she had the super transformation operation! But, they are all Emperor-level, and only you are Judgment-level... You are not afraid that I will surpass you after fusing with the Great Freedom Queen, right?"

"Tsk! Only you have such a boring idea."

Mobius watched Alicia open her arms, but did not move.

"Come on! Mobius! You have all become fusion warriors, and Mikael is a Herrscher... I can't be left too far behind!"

However, Mobius still did not move.

Alicia was surprised, her eyes turned around, and she stretched out her hand to touch Mobius's tender cheek like a teasing, but was gently slapped away by the latter.

"Mobius, what do you mean? Are you going to cruelly reject the request of a beautiful girl?"

Mobius closed his eyes, turned his head, and exhaled heavily. The feelings that she had deliberately ignored before began to grow wildly in her heart.

"To be honest, Alicia - I welcome you to come for the super-mutation surgery. I dream of having you lie on my operating table, and then become an existence that cannot be called a [human] under the torture of the super-mutation factor."

"Then why don't you do it now? Is it because I'm too cute and you can't do it? Oh, I know Mobius is the best! But don't worry! A beautiful girl can do anything, and this is my own decision!"

Aili's light words were like a spoonful of hot oil poured into Mobius' heart. A fire broke out instantly, her breathing became rapid, and her whole body couldn't stop shaking.

"Mobius, what's wrong with you?"

"Hehe..." Mobius responded with a sad smile.

As the woman who had quarreled with her the most, she certainly knew what was in Ellie's heart, and she knew that she actually hated this kind of blurring of [human] and [Honkai Beast], but in order to be his helper, she could abandon her own likes and dislikes and willingly turn herself into what she hated the most...

And he had already expected this possibility...

"It's useless for you to beg me, hum! Mikael cares about you very much. Without his consent, if I perform surgery on you, tomorrow's meat dish might be snake soup!"

Ellie's eyes gradually widened, with an inexplicable glow.

Mobius couldn't stand this the most.

"Ah! Mobius, you are still very good at joking!"

Ellie quickly used a silly smile to cover up her excitement and embarrassment, and unconsciously looked at the bottles and jars in the laboratory, trying to change the subject.

"Hey? Mobius, you have something new here!"

Ellie picked up three syringes filled with some kind of tissue fluid. There was a pattern on the outer shell of the syringe, which was a symbol similar to "∞" with both ends not connected together, and "Anti-Entropy - Made by Mobius" was marked in small letters below.

"Heh! How could I make this kind of garbage?"

Mobius grabbed all the syringes and made a gesture to Ellie to leave.

"Hey! Isn't it? But there is also the Anti-Entropy logo on it? And your name!"

"Alicea! Do you think Mikael and I would be so ostentatious as to leave a mark on this kind of thing!"

Mobius snorted coldly, looked away with a guilty look, and still kept the "please leave" gesture.

But the latter still didn't want to leave. She pointed at the wall behind Mebius and said, "Hey Mebius, there's a crack in the wall! Isn't there a laboratory inside?"

"How is that possible?"

"Bang!"

At this time, a slight sound came from the locker next to Mebius.

Before Ellie could say anything, Mebius roughly turned her body and pushed her out on her back.

"Alicea! Remember to help me put my original clothes back in the closet - then you can get out!"
