I've already said this isn't a life simulator!

"They're the same, aren't they?"

Alicia blinked and said with a smile.

"Qian Jie has always been the same~ The same gentleness~ Everyone can feel it, right~?"

"……Ugh."

Su rubbed his forehead and sighed helplessly.

“…Hey, you.”

"Well?"

After a long silence, Qian Jie slowly withdrew his fist, stared at Xi Wang, and finally spoke.

"Shall we continue next time?"

"Okay~"

"...Say it again?"

Qianjie's tone suddenly turned low and dangerous, and he even stepped forward and stood in front of Xiwang.

"Okay~"

"........."

"Thousands of tribulations?"

"you have a problem."

"Well?"

"You bastard... I knew it! You shouldn't have agreed to this in the first place!"

Qianjie grabbed Xiwang by the collar and lifted him up.

"You wouldn't have agreed to this in the first place! You bastard! Why didn't you say so?! Why didn't you notice?!"

"A thousand tribulations? What are you talking about..."

"Shut up, Alicia!"

For the first time, Qianjie retorted to Alicia in such an angry tone, while his gaze remained fixed on Xiwang, as if confirming something.

"You said you wouldn't fight us... and yet you! Now you're standing right in front of me!!"

"I've found something new that can help you..."

"……lie."

Qianjie's tone suddenly became dangerous and terrifying.

"……snort."

Qianjie glanced at Alicia, snorted, and darted to the door of the training room. He kicked the door open and then burst into unimaginable speed, quickly running away into the distance.

"........."

Kevin and the others exchanged glances, and then quickly chased after Qianjie... They also realized that Qianjie must have discovered some problem with Xiwang.

At the same time, they instantly realized a possibility—the near-death blow that the "Eighth Herrscher" had left on Xiwang.

Chapter 59 If defeating me could save everyone... (4658)

“Dr. Möbius, you should stop this experiment. If you continue, it will be very difficult to get your application approved next time... and your lab’s funding may also be in trouble.”

"I know, I know... Honestly, all you do is threaten with money, how boring."

Mebius waved his hand dismissively, organizing the collected data and making a copy for Mei, while signaling his assistant Klein to seal up the body of the "Eighth Herrscher".

"This is also to ensure your future research, Dr. Möbius."

Wright spoke softly, while instructing the others to remove the sealed remains of the "Eighth Herrscher".

"That's really unexpected... those guys actually let you oversee things... it seems they really trust you."

Mebius said meaningfully.

"And you... aren't you afraid of me?"

I am honored to receive such attention from others.

He first said something quite politely, as if responding to Mebius's earlier words, and then watched the escorts leave before Wright relaxed a little and said half-jokingly.

"As for you... to be honest, I was a little scared at first, but since Xi Wang trusts you so much, I think you shouldn't be as scary as the rumors say."

"I see... What a pity..."

Möbius's eyes widened in disappointment for a moment, as if he had lost interest. He waved his hand casually and then asked again.

"But you really trust him that much?"

"Yes, that's right... Please don't laugh at me, but I've been a fan of his from the very beginning, and... I even thought about promoting his songs after I became a politician... Haha, it's kind of funny to think about it now."

"……really."

Mebius smiled knowingly, then rudely told them to leave.

"Alright, now you should go, right? We'll need you to go and inform them over there."

"Yes, that's true. Well then... see you next time, Dr. Möbius."

Lai nodded and left.

"Heh...that's interesting..."

Watching Wright's departing figure, Mebius narrowed his snake-like pupils meaningfully and softly spoke to Mei beside him.

"Mei, don't you think that guy's been coming a bit too often?"

"He was just doing his job, supervising the experiment as usual, Dr. Möbius."

"But his gaze lingered on that body several times, and his eyes didn't show the same fear as the others. It's really interesting."

Mebius spoke as he categorized and saved the data he had just recorded.

"And it seems he also had contact with the [core], right? He was the one who handled the sealing and management... so what~"

"Alas... Dr. Mebius, Congressman Wright has passed the test and there is no problem with him. Please put away your audacious idea."

"Honestly, I haven't even said anything yet~"

Mebius pursed his lips, somewhat displeased.

"An ordinary human being, after repeatedly coming into contact with things possessed by the [Eighth Herrscher], showed absolutely no reaction... Either he's faking it, or his willpower is unimaginably strong. As it stands... well, both possibilities exist."

Möbius smiled and lightly brushed his fingertips across his lips.

“Dr. Mebius…some doubts are unnecessary.”

“But we also need to prepare in advance, don’t we? Like the modifications you applied for with them regarding the lunar base… You got a set of blueprints for the [Prison] from Velvi, right?”

Mebius narrowed his eyes.

"Whom do you intend to imprison, Mei?"

"........."

Mei remained silent.

"...Tsk."

Suddenly, Mebius frowned and clicked his tongue in annoyance, as if he had sensed someone particularly annoying approaching.

He quickly stepped forward, blocking Klein and May, and then...

boom! ! !

The laboratory door was kicked open, but Mebius stopped it.

"Qian Jie, can't you be a little more polite? Or are you planning to compensate me for my loss with your body? If so, I'd be happy to study you~"

"Shut up, and check this guy out."

Qianjie spoke impatiently, and casually tossed Xiwang, which he was holding, into Mebius's arms.

"Ok?"

"Qianjie, be gentle..."

Xi Wang said with a hint of helplessness, while Mebius looked at Qian Jie with a puzzled expression, not understanding what he was talking about.

"I said, check him! This guy's suspicious!"

Qianjie suppressed his agitation and emphasized it again.

"...Dr. Mebius, let's put everything else aside for now."

Mei frowned, having also considered a possibility... and spoke up.

"...Tch, could it really be true?"

He exchanged a puzzled glance with Mei, and then a possibility suddenly occurred to him. He frowned in annoyance and, without giving Xi Wang any room to resist, dragged him inside.

"Little mouse, don't move around too much~ I'm going to give you a checkup~"

"Okay~"

"…………Um?"

Möbius frowned... she vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

"...Klein, inform Eden and Sakura to come back...and call Aponia over."

Mebius turned to Klein and spoke, while also addressing Qianjie, who was waiting impatiently outside.

"Qian Jie, now, remain quiet, understand?"

"Get back to work."

Qianjie casually replied, but when Kevin and the others arrived and wanted to ask some questions, a dangerous look swept over them, forcibly stopping them from asking any questions.

The group waited anxiously and nervously for the result.
