I am a hero of the former civilization.

"Okay, okay, I admit these idiots are somewhat interesting. At least I'm quite comfortable around them, which is a feeling I haven't had in the past few decades."

Previously, only Alicia and May caught her eye, but the current Mebius is different. Not only does she have Ryan, but she has also gotten to know many more people under his influence.

They didn't see Mebius as an outsider or a monster. Even though they were competitors, they were all partners she could trust. It had been a long time since she had so many people in her heart since she ran away from home.

Although some of them are annoying and some are stupid, Mebius would never hurt any of them.

Experiences shape ideas, and Ryan's arrival, like a chain reaction, changed too many things.

Originally, most of the thirteen heroes did not reveal their abilities. Just like Alicia built a small house, but before it could be furnished, it was burned down by a fire and turned to ashes with her death.

Those few remaining ashes followed the memory to the Golden Courtyard, but it was all in vain, because the thorn in their hearts could not be removed even after fifty thousand years.

However, for Mebius at this moment, her thoughts have gradually changed since she met Ryan two years ago, and she doesn't have many painful memories anymore.

“So, Doctor, you care about them a lot, and it’s precisely because you care that you’re afraid. I think Dr. Lane feels the same way.” Klein quietly concluded. Judging from her conversation with Blanca, Dr. Mebius had really changed.

Not only are they less cruel, but they've also become less decisive, which is a good thing for a human being.

"I... sigh, it's all Alicia's and that idiot's fault!" Möbius couldn't refute it either, only staring at his assistant with his sharp snake eyes, "Klein, you're not allowed to go around talking nonsense, understand!?"

Do you think no one noticed? The snakeskin on your body is almost gone.

Klein chuckled inwardly. She knew Möbius was stubborn; his long-standing habit made him unable to tolerate his own vulnerability. But wasn't this also a kind of evolution?

"Yes, doctor."

Seeing Klein nod seriously, Möbius finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had always believed that too much emotion was a stumbling block to evolution, but now she was too deeply involved, and it was impossible to go back to the way things were before.

Sigh, I originally wanted to get evolutionary information from that guy, make good use of it, and then discard it. But it feels like I'm stuck with it and can't get rid of it.

I want to take a step forward but I'm afraid; I want to go back to the past but I'm unwilling. It's all that bastard's fault for being a womanizer, making my chances of success less than 80%.

Just as I was feeling down, there was a knock on the door.

"Doctor, the chief commander has arrived."

It was Cang Xuan's voice. Mebius was stunned for a moment before he remembered who the 'Commander-in-Chief' was, and then he was suddenly startled.

Why is he here?

"Let him wait, I'll be right out." Möbius quickly tidied the room, especially hiding the roly-poly toy in the shadows, then glared fiercely at Klein: "Forget everything you just said, or I'll give you an amnesia potion, understand?"

Klein nodded emphatically, looking hopeless.

"That's more like it." Möbius straightened his hair, thought for a moment, then unbuttoned his shirt collar before walking out with an air of arrogance.

It's been a long time since I've been to this lab. Everything is pretty much the same, except for a few more milk tea cups.

Ryan was looking around when he took a cup of milk tea from Danzhu, who had a fawning expression on her face. He only found out after asking that Danzhu had bought most of the milk tea, and he couldn't help but look miserable.

"Director, can you please do something about the Doctor? Being late is punishable by a fine, and spending too much time in the bathroom is punishable by a fine too. Half of my salary has disappeared! Waaah, the Doctor is so heartless."

"You're only just finding out about her style? Couldn't you have gotten up earlier?" Ryan took a sip and thought it tasted pretty good.

"Because I'm always working overtime and not getting enough sleep, even if I'm fined, can I at least not drink milk tea? It's made me gain so much weight recently." Danzhu pinched her stomach, and sure enough, she had gotten quite plump. She was about to complain when Cangxuan tapped her on the head with a document.

"Stop talking, the doctor is coming right away."

For a moment, she shrank back like a mouse seeing a cat, and walked away, looking back every few steps.

Ryan smiled. He knew that Mebius wasn't really being unreasonable. She had a good relationship with these assistants; they were practically sisters. If she were truly ruthless, she would have kicked out a lazy bum like Danzhu long ago.

"What are you here for?"

Just then, a proud voice came from behind him. Ryan turned his chair and looked over, immediately spotting the arrogant Mebius.

With her chest out and head held high, wearing a white dress and black-rimmed glasses, her high heels clicking rapidly on the floor, she was a beautiful woman, a proud woman, and also cloaked in a layer of knowledge.

This is Mebius. Ryan never treated her like a little girl, nor did he deliberately pursue anything, because without that pride, she would no longer be Mebius.

So the moment he saw the other person, he lost the desire to ask any further questions.

“I’m a registered researcher at your institute, why can’t I come? Besides, I’m the chief coordinator, all these things are my assets.” Ryan deliberately raised his voice and shook the milk tea cup in his hand. “Aren’t you afraid of getting fat eating this so late at night?”

"What's it to you? Controlling my body shape is too easy for me." Mebius rolled his eyes at him, but his mood improved a lot. He felt that Ryan hadn't forgotten his roots, but he still looked dissatisfied. He plopped down on the table next to him and crossed his arms.

"What brings the Commander-in-Chief to the Biological Research Institute today? Heh, are you perhaps avoiding Alicia?"

Ryan's brow twitched. Sure enough, no matter how he tried to amuse him, Mebius still had that infuriating look on his face.

“I’ve already said these are all my assets, including you.”

"This is the property of the Fire-Chasing Moth!"

"I have already taken control of the Fire Chasing Council. As the Grand Coordinator, my power is unlimited, so there is no difference. Go ahead and find a logical loophole."

Mebius choked on his words and said coldly, "You... have no shame?"

“My face is the face of a moth drawn to a flame, and you, as my subordinate, cannot contradict me.”

While drinking milk tea, Klein and the others watched the show. Unlike Danzhu and Cangxuan's smirks, Klein didn't smile. She knew what Möbius was afraid of.

She fears change, but even more so, she fears drifting further and further apart.

That person actually stopped in his tracks; Dr. Ryan is truly remarkable.

Before she could think it through, Danzhu's loud laughter aroused Mebius's hatred. He glared at her fiercely, making the three of them quickly turn back to work.

Ugh, I'm so angry! Why can't I beat him? That Qianjie is useless. If only he could help me beat him up.

Qian Jie, who was doing push-ups, suddenly sneezed several times, while Möbius bit his lip, his expression gradually turning cold: "If you came here specifically to mock me, get out of here. I'm busy."

"No, no, I'm here to help you study the super-heavy variable."

"How can I help?" Mebius was frustrated as his research hit a bottleneck.

"You haven't forgotten the mutation in my genes, have you? You turned me into a fusion warrior."

Mebius, of course, hadn't forgotten. It had been over a year, and she had racked her brains without making any breakthrough, so she suddenly became interested.

"Aren't you afraid I might do something to you while you're unconscious during surgery?"

"Huh? Didn't you already do that?"

As soon as Ryan blurted out, he noticed the atmosphere had become strange, and the entire laboratory had fallen completely silent.

Klein and the others stopped working and pricked up their ears. They were usually so anxious, always gossiping about when Dr. Mebius would make a breakthrough.

Is the professor really that brave? Does she really like sneaking off like that?

Mebius's fair face flushed slightly. She thought to herself that she shouldn't have left any evidence, but soon she realized that she had been tricked.

He was testing me. Oh no, I just gave myself away.

Mebius really did something wrong. Well, you're trying to play dirty tricks on me, aren't you?

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Mebius was itching to make a move. He glanced at Klein and the others, then grabbed Ryan by the collar.

"Come on, let's go inside and talk!"

“You’re not allowed to come along. Whoever does, I’ll make her work in the anatomy lab for a week.”

Ryan didn't struggle and was dragged into the dark inner room. Just as he was about to ask a question, he was shoved hard against the wall with a thud.

"What's wrong with you...?"

Ryan was in some pain from the impact and instinctively started cursing, but his pupils suddenly contracted because his mouth was suddenly covered.

A slippery thing with a faint coffee flavor pried open my teeth and crawled into my mouth!

Chapter 327 It's all mine, Mebius!

Everything happened in an instant. Mebius even used the speed of a Fusion Warrior. Due to the close distance, even Ryan, who was fighting the Herrscher of Flame, couldn't react in time.

Huh? How come I wasn't even mentally prepared? I've lost so much money!

Ryan didn't expect Mebius to attack so directly. What will become of us? Who will win? No, it seems that in a sense, I was the one who was successfully ambushed.

At first he was a little annoyed, then he instinctively began to enjoy the sensation. Unfortunately, after a few seconds, the sweet feeling quickly disappeared, leaving him with only a slight regret.

Perhaps due to lack of oxygen, Ryan stared blankly at the woman in front of him. She had slightly curly green hair, wore the same white coat she had worn for ten years, and had a slightly flushed face. Her snake-like eyes trembled slightly along with her eyelashes.

Still feeling a bit surprised and still lingering in the afterglow of what had just happened, Ryan's expression slowly relaxed.

"No, you..."

"Oh, you're blushing." Mebius gave a strange smile, a mixture of shyness and pride, and a tiny bit of smugness.

"Humanity's hero, commander of the Fire-Chasing Moths, humph, nothing special. I thought you were something special."

His blood pressure was pounding and his heart was pounding, but Ryan suppressed his anger this time and his mind was racing.

"So, what are you doing??"

"Didn't you ask me what I did while I was unconscious? To tell you the truth, I conducted an experiment. After you woke up instantly, I've been analyzing the composition of my saliva for the past two days."

Mebius twirled his long hair with his fingers, his expression half-serious and half-fake, but Ryan only hesitated for a moment before immediately frowning.

"Experiment? Do you think I'm an idiot?"

Ryan wasn't stupid. Perhaps what he said wasn't entirely false, but it was definitely only a small part of it. He touched his neck, a half-smile on his face: "Is your mouth made of soul steel? Even like this, how can I..."

Before he could finish speaking, a finger was placed on his lips, causing him to swallow the rest of his words. He only saw Mebius's face turn even redder, and he actively looked away.

"You don't need to say anything, you don't need to answer anything, and you don't need to overthink. Just listen quietly."

Mebius stepped back and paced around the dimly lit room, as if he had disappeared into the shadows, with only his golden earrings swaying slightly in the background.

“I know you can’t let go of Alicia, that wooden stake, or that rabbit-eared assassin. I also know that anyone could die in the future, so I want to keep something in mind so that I don’t have to fight with you for so long. Wouldn’t it be a waste if you died?”

So you were provoked. That makes sense. With the Third Herrscher already, this is the second time. I can't be that lucky every time. Besides, anyone with eyes can see that the Herrschers to come will definitely be even more terrifying.

Ryan understood somewhat, but he couldn't bring himself to say something as baseless as "No one will die, I will protect you all." Putting aside everything else, he didn't even know how the Herrscher of Binding could overcome this obstacle.

So you're afraid?

"Who, who said I'm afraid? I'm immortal!" Möbius immediately turned his head to refute, coldly saying, "I just think that if you get too cocky and die, it will be troublesome. Besides, I'm immortal, but those idiots might not be. Hmph, of course, I don't care whether they live or die!"

Isn't this just because they're afraid I'll die, afraid Alicia and the others will die, and trying to confuse me with complicated logic?

It was so soft just now, and now it's so hard. Are you quick-drying cement?

Ryan, with his good emotional intelligence, immediately realized that Mebius himself was also conflicted. If he really wanted to assert his dominance and come forward, there was absolutely no need for him to hide in this little house.

Why make excuses? Why hide away? What is she worried about? What does she like? Isn't the answer clear?
