Honkai Impact, please stop imagining it.

Possessiveness? Not really. Mebius didn't care where Lin Yu went or who he hung out with. All she wanted was for Lin Yu to live and come to her side when she wanted him to.

“I don’t know. I just need him to live. I don’t care if he has other friends or how he feels about them. I just want him to live and be there for me when I need him. Just seeing him gives me motivation!”

Klein took notes in his notebook, adjusted his newly put-on rimless glasses, and asked, "Do you have any unusual feelings for him, like wanting to pounce on him, pin him to the bed, and then..."

"Yes! And I really want to do it. I even had some reservations about whether to soak him in formalin, but the thought of him being soaked made me abandon that idea."

Klein thoughtfully drew a small heart in the lower right corner of the notebook. "I understand. You treat him as a very important research material. He's so important that you feel an unbearable fondness for him, to the point of morbid fondness."

Möbius: "This is not an illness. I think all of humanity should look at him. Although he has flaws, he is far closer to perfection than anyone else."

Klein: "......."

Möbius: "Give me a plan, a plan to win over Lin Yu."

Klein wrote down the words "Lin Yu Strategy Plan" in his notebook, turned the page, and realized that his work was finally going to be easier.

If Mebius goes to win over Lin Yu, then I won't have so many reports to write.

........

“Himeko, Mebius is so strange. She suddenly hugged me and her eyes were full of love, but I just saw her again yesterday. Himeko-nee, please help me.”

Himeko was eating breakfast and watching a movie in her office when Lin Yu suddenly flew in through the window, startling her. She quickly paused the movie.

Lin Yu: "What is Mebius thinking? Himeko-nee, did you drug her?"

himeko: "Huh?"

Why did Möbius suddenly hug you with eyes full of love? It's like he's been drugged.

"You must be dreaming. Mebius may not be a good person, but he's at least a smart one."

Why did I suddenly want to pursue you after just one night?

himeko gave Lin Yu a strange look. "Are you going through puberty? Your hormones are raging, and it feels like everyone likes you. Are you just a typical guy?"

Mebius isn't stupid. Himeko doesn't know much about Mebius, but based on past information and her conversation with him yesterday, Mebius is an extremely calm, even sometimes overly indifferent, person.

Himeko would find it strange if someone like that could even discuss other people's relationships, let alone be in a romantic relationship.

Lin Yu: "Really? Himeko! I was sleeping when she suddenly woke me up and hugged me tightly. It was hard for me to break free, and she was pinching my face with an excited expression. I felt like she wanted to kiss me the next second."

"I ran as fast as I could, trying to get out, but she locked the lab door first. I saw her cautiously pouncing on me, as if she was about to pin me down on the bed, so I dashed out the window in a flash."

Lin Yu's scalp tingled. "I swear I'm telling the truth!"

himeko: "The three great illusions of life. You're overthinking it. Maybe she just wants to draw a vial of your blood for research?"

I'd believe you if you said she wanted to dissect you, but who could believe you if you said she wanted to kiss you?

“Maybe I lied to you before, but this time it’s absolutely true. Mebius is acting a bit strange.”

himeko tapped his fingers lightly on the table, frowning in thought. Although it was theoretically unlikely, what if Lin Yu was telling the truth?

"I'll call Möbius in a bit and ask. Do you want to hear it?"

Lin Yu nodded quickly.

himeko called Mebius and put the call on speakerphone.

"Dr. Möbius, Lin Yu suddenly told me that something is wrong with you. Are you feeling unwell?"

Mebius said in a calm but slightly tired tone, "I made a drug, and I accidentally inhaled it. I'm a little excited. Please apologize to Lin Yu for what happened just now."

Mebius, with the phone on speakerphone, glanced tentatively at Klein. Klein silently gave Mebius a thumbs-up. Yes, keep that pose.

You need to establish a stable persona; only by establishing a stable persona can you gradually attract Lin Yu.

Dr. Möbius, what you need to do is not to pounce on him like a simp, but to attract him. Once you are attractive to Lin Yu, slowly increase his affection level, just like a strategy guide in a visual novel. When the affection level is raised to a certain point, Lin Yu will become close to you, and at that time, you can do whatever you want.

himeko rolled her eyes at Lin Yu. "Okay, so it seems you're telling the truth. But what is the new drug that Möbius developed? Can it make people feel euphoric? What does this have to do with the Chimera Project?"

"It seems there was a misunderstanding. You scared Lin Yu this morning. Next time, don't use this kind of research on yourself. Ask me for test subjects. You are very important."

I spend so much money every year to hire you for research, not so you can do this kind of experiment on yourself. What if you go crazy?

Möbius: "I'm sorry, it was just an accident caused by the research station not being fully established yet and the equipment not being complete. It won't happen again. Please ask Lin Yu if he has time at noon. I'd like to treat him to a meal to apologize."

Mebius glanced at Klein's cue card and said casually.

himeko glanced at Lin Yu, "He has plenty of time. Let's leave it at that. I'll have Lin Yu come to see you at noon. He's just a young man, and he's bound to make mistakes sometimes. Please take good care of him then."

"No, Lin Yu is amazing, far better than you imagine, well, I mean his genes."

himeko exchanged a few more pleasantries with Möbius and hung up the phone. He shrugged at Lin Yu and said, "See? It was just an accident. You're overthinking it."

Lin Yu chewed the hard candy in his mouth. "Okay, but she was really excited this morning."

To be honest, if Mebius had known Lin Yu for a longer period of time and had a closer relationship with him before suddenly confessing his feelings like this, Lin Yu felt that he definitely wouldn't have run away.

Lin Yu, still eating candy, flew out the window again. Himeko shouted after him, "Next time, use the door! Using the window is scary!"

Who would climb through a window? Are you some kind of notorious thief?

Lin Yu: "The wind was too strong, I didn't hear it~"

himeko rolled his eyes and closed the window. "Tch, brat."

Mebius from the research institute looked at Klein and said, "Next, we'll proceed with a two-pronged approach. First, we'll research the Chimera and complete the Fusion Warrior project. Second, we'll increase Lin Yu's favorability towards me."

Klein's previously relaxed expression froze. Wait, do you mean I'm not just abandoning my original job to help you with the strategy, but have taken on additional tasks?

Chapter 64 That wasn't a kiss, that was a suck.

After a month, the research institute was finally completed. It was even larger than a military compound, to the point that Möbius would get lost if he walked around alone without a map.

She didn't value these external things much, but the sheer size of the research institute showed how much Himeko cared for her.

There was a lot of research equipment. Everything that the Moth of Fire had at its headquarters was here, and even things that she didn't have before were also here. With so many things, Mebius felt that Himeko wanted to use this research institute to study immortality.

But she knew that Himeko only wanted to research one thing: the Chimera Project, the Fusion Warriors.

"Good morning."

Möbius took a packaged sugar cube out of his pocket and handed it to Lin Yu.

Inside the research institute's open-air garden, Lin Yu was looking through a report, examining the types of special Honkai Beasts listed.

Taking the sugar cube from Möbius, Lin Yu shifted his position to make room for Möbius. "You seem to be in a good mood today. Are you ready to get started?"

For the first month, Lin Yu would come to Mebius's research institute every day because Mebius wanted to examine his body. Although Lin Yu didn't understand why it had to be every day, it was her request after all.

As he had expected, Möbius was very serious about his research, so he also paid a little attention to him.

But that was all. Lin Yu had initially been looking forward to it, but his anticipation gradually faded.

But that's already pretty good. At least every time Mebius came to see him, she would bring him a piece of candy. Sometimes it was fruit candy, sometimes it was chocolate candy, all sorts of things. He didn't know where she got them from.

"Sugar."

Lin Yu chewed it; it was very sweet.

"Cangxuan and Danzhu are out of candy. Hmm, I asked Klein to help me buy some."

"not bad."

The taste was not bad. If it weren't for his special physical condition, Lin Yu would have suspected that he would get cavities if he ate sugar every day.

Möbius: "The experiment will officially begin today, and quite a few test subjects have been delivered. Do you think I'm a bad person?"

Lin Yu flipped through the types of special Honkai Beasts. "If this is a necessary procedure to complete the research, I think it makes sense, as long as I'm not the test subject."

“Your condition has worsened a bit in the past month. Your next cancer is likely leukemia. That’s all I can tell from your genes.”

"Approximately how much time is left?"

How long will it take before I get the leukemia bonus?

Lin Yu now feels that he can take on Emperor-level Honkai Beasts one-on-one. If he has the added benefit of Blood Cancer, taking on some weaker Judgment-level Honkai Beasts one-on-one will not be a problem.

If such enhancements increase, one day they will be able to instantly defeat the Herrscher.

"Within half a year."

Mebius looked at Lin Yu's expression, but Lin Yu's expression didn't change at all, as if leukemia was just a topic of conversation for him, like what to have for dinner.

"Is there still that much time left?"

Half a year, six months, that's 180 days.

Do I have to wait another 180 days to get stronger? Is there anything that can speed things up?

"Is there still so much time?" Lin Yu's words silenced Mebius.

In the past month, he had seen Lin Yu frown and cough up blood, and he had also seen Lin Yu clutching his lower abdomen, unable to sleep, and only able to use games to cover up his pain.

Those illnesses were painful for Lin Yu.

"It must hurt a lot."

Half a year? Is it really that long? Does Lin Yu feel that half a year is a long time? Half a year is not the time when Lin Yu is immune to pain, but rather the time when Lin Yu has not yet experienced the next kind of pain. And yet, Lin Yu actually feels fortunate because of this, and even feels that half a year is a long time.

Lin Yu: "Not at all."

Lin Yu casually said, taking out a cup of warm milk tea from his bag and handing it to Mebius, "It's still warm, try it, no toppings added."

Pain? What pain? I don't feel anything at all. Lin Yu can even run and fly, and he can stay up all night playing computer games.

Sleeping only four hours a day makes you feel refreshed. For a cultivator who stays up all night, this pain is nothing compared to the agony of spending half a month's worth of gold coins without ever getting a character.

Lin Yu was all set to save the world and ready to go at any moment. He had planned to travel the world to clean up Honkai Beasts and extract tissue fluid from special Honkai Beasts after his physical examination, but he was stopped by Mebius's daily check-up.

Even so, Lin Yu still tried his best to read books during the day, studying the research on Honkai Beasts by the Fire Moth and internal documents, and asking Klein questions when he didn't understand something.

In a month, I basically mastered the weaknesses and habits of various Honkai Beasts.

"You'll have some free time now. I'll start focusing on my experiments and won't need to have any more medical checkups, but I still want to see you every day."

Lin Yu took a sip of his milk tea, glanced back at Mebius, and seeing that Mebius's expression was calm, he turned back to continue reading the report. "Since they don't need me anymore, I'll go clean up the Honkai Beasts and extract their tissue fluid."

"The rest of the fifth squad can go too, this kind of work doesn't need you."

Mebius paused for a moment. You, fight? What are you thinking? No one knows your body better than me. Let alone fighting, even your daily life takes a lot of effort. The fact that you haven't cried out in pain or fainted from pain for so long already makes Mebius think that Lin Yu has a strong will.

Lin Yu actually still wants to fight?
