I am a hero of the former civilization.

Mebius wasn't surprised. He picked up a towel and went into the bathroom, where the sound of running water soon filled the air.

"Prepare another dinner; I'll go after I take a shower."

The call ended automatically. Klein, in his office, paused for a moment, hung up the phone, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

Today's PhD students seem to be full of fighting spirit?

Chapter 133 Why can't I beat even one of them?

Underground, there is no distinction between night and day. Ryan used a plastic fork to scrape the curry chicken pieces, turning his head back and forth.

Sakura was to his left and Mebius to his right. Sakura was a little confused. As an assassin, she was very sensitive to auras and always felt that this doctor was somewhat hostile.

This doesn't make sense. He was all smiles during the surgery, so why is he so hostile after taking a nap?

Her question was also Ryan's question: Mebius had only taken a nap, yet he seemed to have a profound realization.

"Mebius, are you still taking your medication? Or are the side effects of the surgery really that strong?"

It's that annoying tone again. Well, it seems like he learned it from me.

Möbius rested his chin on his hand, rubbed his wet hair, and said calmly:

"I just suddenly realized something: a study should not focus on the reasons or expectations, but rather eliminate all distractions and keep the research in its own hands."

What is this mess?

Why did Dr. Mebius glance at me?

Ryan and Sakura were both filled with questions, especially Sakura, who had begun to think about what she had done to offend him. As an excellent assassin, she quickly figured out the reason.

'Oh no, Mebius and Ryan are a couple. Ryan is fighting me; she must be very worried.'

Thinking of this, she felt a little guilty and unconsciously sat up straight.

“Dr. Mebius, Ryan just fought me, but rest assured, his strength is far superior to mine. Although he did not hold back, the whole process was very gentle and his purpose was very considerate, which made me realize the value of this power.”

Gentle? Considerate? Fine, you're just going to jump right into my face and mock me, huh?

Möbius's lips twitched, and he followed up on the topic, asking, "Since he's been so kind to you, do you perhaps want to repay him?"

“Of course I will repay him. This is my life motto. I will follow him and become his sword.” Sakura seemed to think that this was not enough to repay the favor, so she added a few more things: “I will also do my best in life, cooking, housework, making tea, and brewing wine. Please rest assured that these are all valuable. Ryan also said that I make very good tea.”

She has a somewhat obsessive-compulsive personality. Just like when we first met, she felt that if she owed someone, she had to pay them back with interest.

His tone was very sincere, which made Möbius's eyes twitch. He kept glancing at Ryan out of the corner of his eye, and when he saw the latter nodding repeatedly while pinching his chin, his eyes twitched even more.

I really underestimated this assassin. That wooden stake at least lacked courage, but she was incredibly audacious, and what's more, she left me speechless.

Mebius paused for a moment, then realized he seemed to lack appeal?

He can't stay by your side to protect you, doesn't like killing, and can't cook or do any housework, though he's pretty good at making instant noodles...

Hmm, I'm really not confident I can keep him by my side.

Mebius immediately felt a sense of crisis and reorganized his logical thinking:

The reason Ryan didn't take the bait was because he had too many temptations around him, so I ignored the reason and just wanted to get him to my side.

Three plans were devised for this purpose, but when it comes to the advantage of 'women,' I really can't compare to her.

Should I change my persona? No use. That guy's too smart; he saw right through me from the start. Should I use recently watched movie clips to seduce him? Judging from the circumstances, I'm unlikely to succeed. I'll either be ridiculed or unable to influence him or the others.

She would sometimes frown, sometimes relax, thinking about the topic rigorously and meticulously. As a results-oriented person, she might not care about the reasons for doing things, but she would definitely achieve the goal.

"What's wrong with Dr. Mebius? I feel like she's unhappy?" Sakura quietly leaned her head close to Ryan's ear.

“Never mind her. Her manic episodes have gotten worse since she became a fusion warrior. No normal person has a brainstorming session while eating.” Ryan forked a potato, put it in his mouth and chewed. “That’s just how Mebius is. Even I can’t understand what she’s thinking.”

"Oh." Sakura had just pulled her head back when she saw Mebius suddenly move. With superhuman speed, she suddenly pecked Ryan on the face.

"Hey, what's wrong with you all of a sudden?" Ryan wiped his face, and sure enough, it was saliva. He didn't care too much; this wasn't the first time this woman had licked his face. But there were other people around, so why did she suddenly go crazy?

"I'm happy to do it, what's it to you?" Mebius snorted smugly, ignoring Ryan's comments about 'this is my face' and focusing intently on the slightly blushing girl.

Sakura's mouth gaped open, completely surprised that Mebius was so bold as to do such a thing in front of her. Ryan was much more serious, but why did she feel a sharp pain in her left chest?

She felt her heart beat slightly faster and wondered why she was feeling this way.

Yes, that's the expression. The third plan is definitely the best: first, declare dominance physically.

Mebius caught the subtle change in her expression and smiled slyly: "So, Sakura, do you still want to do those things for him?"

Those things? Oh, I just said I would repay them.

"Of course, your relationship with Ryan will not change in any way."

The girl had a peculiar straightforwardness that made Möbius's smile freeze on the spot. He narrowed his eyes and carefully scanned Sakura's serious expression.

Well, you're shameless! You're really shameless.

At the same time, Mebius also fell into self-doubt. The book said it was very effective. Could it all be a lie? No, I can't use similar tricks anymore. That guy's eyes are infuriating.

Ryan was indeed watching her, looking ready to feed her medicine at any moment, even crushing the plastic fork in his hand into powder.

Could the aftereffects of Shesa really be so severe?

Ryan took it seriously, thinking to himself that he was glad he hadn't chosen to have surgery at this time, because Mebius's behavior was becoming increasingly incomprehensible.

She wanted to settle things once and for all; given her temperament, how could she possibly surrender?

Drop drop drop.

Just then, an alarm sounded on the big screen. Ryan looked up and immediately stopped thinking about Möbius's strange behavior.

The still-incomplete 'Skynet' detected Honkai energy signals, which flashed as red dots on a global map and spread outwards as ripples.

The ripple range represents the area affected by the collapse, and a number is marked next to the red dot.

“In the northern part of Britain, the Honkai energy intensity is between 1500 and 2700, and it is rapidly decaying.” Sakura immediately stood up; she had just learned how to be a CIC.

"Fallendown, as expected, the Honkai have become smarter now." Ryan took a leisurely sip of coffee, which was within his expectations, but he felt a little nostalgic for the old Honkai.

How simple and honest they were back then! As soon as they appeared, they immediately got to work, rushing towards the nearest human city. Then the Fire Moths quickly dispatched their forces to surround and annihilate them, and the two sides fought fiercely.

They're being very cunning now, knowing to hide immediately, which is what Ryan is wary of.

He's developing stealthily, making sure the Honkai doesn't develop too. Thankfully, Earth is humanity's home ground after all.

"A Herrscher-level Honkai energy reaction could mean the arrival of the Fifth Herrscher."

"Well, if she's nearly on par with the Fourth Herrscher, but I'm not worried." Sakura clenched her fist, confidently stating, "Thanks to your and Dr. Mebius's efforts, humanity is no longer what it used to be!"

The Fusion Warriors program has borne fruit, and the Firemoth has gathered many 'superhumans,' so Ryan and Alicia no longer have to fight alone.

Ding--

At that moment, a small image appeared on the screen, showing May. She looked very tired and said in a very fast voice, "Ryan, you've already received the message, haven't you?"

"Hmm, I see. Any movement from the Firemoth side?"

"The local garrison has already moved in, and the Third Squad of the Punishing Sword stationed in Northern Europe has also begun its departure. The Commander-in-Chief asked me to ask you what your thoughts are?"

This is a preferential treatment, and it is in accordance with procedure, because Ryan requested autonomy when he joined the Firemoth and did not have a direct superior at all.

Ryan had already prepared a contingency plan and replied, "Sakura and I will go, while Alicia will stay on Mu Continent and send Kevin to the Fifth Research Institute."

"Are you afraid of a sneak attack from the Fourth Herrscher?"

"A feint is not a clever tactic. If it really is the Fifth Herrscher, His abilities are also unknown. It's better to be safe."

Ryan was very rational. This wasn't a team battle. Ulala could just go all in with her brothers. The Mu Continent was the culmination of all human civilization, and there were too many important areas that needed to be protected.

And let's not forget that the Mu continent in the original timeline was directly destroyed, which is also one of the reasons for the extinction of mankind.

“Okay, I trust your judgment.” May readily agreed and looked at Möbius. “Kevin will take over the guard duties. If there is any danger, immediately inject the first stage of the super-mutant factor.”

"I'd rather just inject them all and be done with it. Fine, whatever you say." Mebius snorted. After the Sakura incident, a lot of data needed to be recalculated.

The side effects on the ears are already quite minor, but no one can guarantee that Kevin won't turn into an ice hockey puck, so the dosage for each injection needs to be further reduced.

It's good that you're so thoughtful, but it's just that you're too nice to everyone.

Möbius rolled his eyes at the man organizing the equipment and said sullenly, "You're going now?"

"Yeah, you and Kevin keep watch here. If the Herrscher shows up, give her a surprise. Anyway, you're too lazy to go out."

“If you don’t invite me, of course I won’t go.” Mebius gritted his teeth, looked at the two leaving, and whispered, “Sakura, I will not admit defeat, whether it’s you, that wooden stake, or Alicia.”

The girl who was hanging the hidden weapon on her leg ring looked up, her expression slightly confused. She glanced at the defenseless Mebius and roughly understood what she meant.

As fusion warriors, their strengths naturally vary.

"Hey, Sakura, hurry up, the plane's here."

"Coming!" Sakura called out down the corridor, then clenched her little fist and gave it a strong pump: "Good luck!"

Hey.

The plastic fork fell into the rice. Möbius sat there dumbfounded, speechless, then sweat beaded on his forehead. He realized that Shesa's genes had indeed affected his thinking ability.

'I was too reckless just now. I must never reveal this again. I just had surgery last night and it's being treated as a side effect. How am I supposed to face people now?'

Calm down, stay rational, and prepare for a long battle. Damn it, Alicia, that wooden stake, and this pink fox, I can't control either of them!

After a while, she pressed the communicator and roared:

"Klein, do you have any strong blood pressure medication? Bring it to me quickly!"

Chapter 134 The Sword of Punishment

Ryan had no idea what was wrong with Mebius.

Even knowing that the current Mebius is not the same as the one in the Paradise of the Past, that crazy persona is indeed deeply ingrained in people's minds, not to mention that Shesa's spiritual influence is real. This is the price of power.

'Could this be where his mental state started to deteriorate? Hmm, he certainly became increasingly aggressive, and then increasingly out of control. He dared to try and 'commit suicide' against Qianjie; what wouldn't he be capable of?'

For a moment, Ryan became somewhat worried, but this price, like Sakura's fox ears, was unavoidable.

His mental state is unstable; it's up to Möbius himself to figure out what to do. I can't help him.

He ended his pointless contemplation and focused all his attention on the battle.

After all, Mebius at most worries him, but a Herrscher can be deadly, especially a Herrscher with intelligence.
