Sorry, you scumbag woman, you can do whatever you want.

That despair may be more terrifying than death.

and so.

"I will absolve you of your responsibilities and let you choose your own future," she whispered to Fu Hua in her arms, her voice gentle yet firm.

However, Fu Hua sensed something different—a message powerful enough to overturn the existing order and lead to an unknowable future.

However, she was powerless to stop it.

"Can...tell me who you really are?" Fu Hua asked Mebius as she broke free from the soft and gentle embrace.

This was both to confirm what Möbius wanted to do and to explore her past.

She may not have had such a strong desire to explore before, because no one from the past had ever appeared in front of her.

But now, people who knew her in the past have appeared.

“That’s a long story.” Möbius smiled gently, her cherry lips slightly parted, ready to tell the long tale.

However, footsteps sounded from not far away, and Karen hurriedly returned, interrupting Mebius's impending story about the past.

It's a bit of a shame.

"Next time, we still have plenty of time." Möbius shook his head and smiled helplessly at Fu Hua.

Then, he stood up and went to greet Karen.

"..." Fu Hua remained silent, looking at Mebius and Kallen, feeling somewhat stifled and disappointed.

It feels like something has been cut off.

And just then.

"Hua, let's go." Mebius waved to Fu Hua on the bench. "The guard duty is up to you now."

"..." Fu Hua was slightly taken aback, but then saw Mebius respond as if he had expected it, "With you protecting me, I will feel very at ease."

"I understand." Fu Hua nodded slightly and stood up. Whether it was to monitor Möbius or to explore his past memories, she had a reason to stay by Möbius's side.

Moreover, regardless of the circumstances, Mebius was likely an important friend of hers in the past, so she couldn't let Mebius be in danger.

Therefore, it was only natural to agree to protect Möbius.

chapter Ten

test subject

Death is a precious treasure that humanity possesses yet rejects. It is humanity's final rejection of the world.

However, this is on the premise that it is voluntary.

The girl sat on the hospital bed, hugging her knees, her golden hair falling down and burying her, exuding an aura of resistance to everything.

She's going to have surgery tomorrow, and the chances of success are... very low.

Don't want to die.

Don't want to die.

Don't want to die.

Despite her intense inner resistance, she knew that without surgery, she would surely die.

"I...want to live." Her voice choked with sobs, tears streaming down her face, soaking the pristine white sheets.

"There are still so many places I haven't been to." The voice sounded like a plea, but it was filled with helplessness and despair.

Death is the greatest freedom, and the greatest freedom.

And just then.

"Bang!" The door was suddenly pushed open, and the lights came on. The girl looked up, confused, her pretty face streaked with tears, staring at the unfamiliar woman who walked in. The woman was a beautiful one wearing a white lab coat, with green hair cascading down to her waist. Her eyes exuded a sense of awe and confidence, and she possessed a captivating charm that was hard to look directly at.

Why would someone like that come to her hospital room?

"Kaoru, may I call you that?" A beautiful woman with long green hair stopped in front of the hospital bed and asked with a smile.

The girl could only nod blankly; the event had happened so suddenly that her brain couldn't process it immediately.

Could it be that this beautiful green-haired woman in front of me is a specialist at the hospital? But she doesn't seem quite right.

“It seems our next exchange will be quite pleasant.” The green-haired beauty gently placed her hand on her excessively full breasts. “You can call me Mebius, that’s my name.”

"Möbius?" Kaoru frowned slightly, looking at Möbius and asking, "May I ask what brings you here?"

At this point, she realized something was wrong and quickly wiped the tears from her cheeks with her sleeve, trying her best to return to her usual appearance.

However, the tears and the attempt to cover them up only made her seem more pitiful, which made people feel sorry for her.

This was exactly the effect Mebius wanted. She didn't come looking for the girl recklessly. Fortunately, she used the influence of destiny to check several hospitals in Canghai City and select the test subject.

That's right, it's... a test subject, someone who seems easy to sympathize with and also easy to manipulate.

"Do you want to live?" she asked Kaoru. "You could potentially gain a healthy body by paying a certain price."

At this point, she saw Xun's doubtful expression, and couldn't help but chuckle and shake her head, then took out a document.

"This is our research project and related evidence. If you don't believe it, you can investigate it at will, whether you ask your parents, doctors, or government departments."

"There are absolutely no problems."

Those calm words, radiating convincing confidence, actually made Kaoru begin to doubt whether it was true or not.

So she raised a question.

"Why did you choose me?"

In this world, there are so many people, why choose her to cooperate with the treatment when she is just a person who is about to die?

The answer she received was unexpectedly cruel.

“Because you are about to die,” Möbius replied calmly. “Rather than choosing a healthy person to cooperate with, it is better to have someone like you, who doesn’t have much time left, cooperate. If it succeeds, you can regain your health.”

Her eyelids were slightly lowered.

"There's not much to regret about failing."

"Ah, is that so?" Kaoru relaxed instead, revealing a sunny smile, scratching her cheek and whispering.

"What you said makes sense."

“Actually, there’s another reason for choosing you,” Möbius suddenly added, “It would be a shame to let a girl like you pass away.”

“Sigh,” Kaoru paused for a moment, then couldn’t help but laugh out loud. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and shook her head as she looked at the calm and confident Möbius in front of her. “Dr. Möbius, you really are a good person.”

“It’s better not to make judgments about people so quickly.” Shaking his head, Möbius stood up and pointed to the documents and files on the table. “You have one night to investigate and verify. We will come to ask for your opinion tomorrow.”

After saying that, she turned and left gracefully, without giving Xun a chance to ask any more questions, and she had no intention of trying to persuade her.

Sometimes, in fraud, more words only make the lie more clumsy, leaving the other party to fill in the blanks in their own mind, or... to try it out, to gamble.

On the contrary, it makes the plan more likely to succeed.

Xun blinked in surprise, then looked down at the stack of documents on the hospital bed, with five eye-catching words on the first page.

"The vampire project looks really dangerous," she said, expressing her feelings before opening the documents to read them.

Before long, she roughly understood the so-called vampire project, which involved using targeted-cultivation viruses to modify human genes, giving people back their youth and health. It was similar to the gene editing a professor had done on his unborn daughter some time ago.

This is similar to how they become immune to HIV.

This so-called vampire project is undoubtedly more radical and risky, and involves a more thorough modification of human genes.

It even shows that her genes deviate from those of humans in the traditional sense by 4%, which is even greater than the difference between humans and monkeys.

Was she still human in the traditional sense at that time?

outside the ward.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Hua." Mebius walked out the door and smiled at Hua, who was standing beside him. "I'm sorry, we've only known each other for a short time, but I've been dragging you into work."

"No, it's nothing." Fu Hua shook her head, glanced at the sky, and saw that the horizon was already turning a pale white.

"Mebius, you should take a rest too."

“Yes, I need to take a nap.” Without refusing, Möbius nodded and left the hospital with Fu Hua.

They got into the car that was waiting outside the hospital.

then.

"..." Fu Hua silently turned her head and looked at Mebius, who had fallen asleep with his head resting on her shoulder. It was the first time someone had leaned on her shoulder so intimately. She felt a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't bear to wake the tired man.

So she could only suppress her strange feelings and sit upright to keep her posture so that Möbius could sleep more comfortably.

The driver cooperated by slowing down so that his employer could have a relatively peaceful sleep.

For such a delicate woman to work all night without sleep is simply too exhausting.

Hopefully, you'll have a good sleep experience.
