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

However, she still remembers her original job.

“You’ve thought this through very thoroughly,” she said to Möbius against her will, to which Möbius shook his head.

"The Honkai disease will eventually become a widespread phenomenon. Please cherish your last moments as ordinary humans. Otherwise, you will lose your rights as ordinary people, be unable to experience natural aging, or the wonderful moments of life condensed into a short lifespan. Family relationships may also change, and everything will be different from the past."

“…That’s right.” The female host nodded in agreement, her face full of approval. What else could she say when her boss said so? She couldn’t very well say that she was suffering terribly as an ordinary person and had already spent countless hours trying to make sure she didn’t have any wrinkles.

"That's settled then, I still have a lot of research to do." Möbius nodded slightly and gave the female host a look.

Then, the female host immediately understood and announced to the audience that the live broadcast was over.

However, the end of the live stream does not mean the end of the incident.

After people realized that the Honkai vaccine could modify the underlying structure of humanity and grant them immortality, they were caught in a state of mixed surprise and fear.

Surprisingly, people can achieve immortality.

What's frightening is that immortality has side effects.

……

……

The next day.

In the office of the World Serpent Lord.

“Doctor, the production capacity of Honkai vaccines is far from meeting market demand.” Klein placed a stack of documents on Mebius’s desk, her pretty face showing a troubled expression. “Now, not only are more and more people claiming to have Honkai disease, but some people are also maliciously hoarding Honkai vaccines and selling them at high prices.”

“If they hoard it, arrest them and lock them up.” Mebius’s expression was calm, as if he had expected all of this. “As for those who claim to have Honkai disease, put them on the back burner. Give the Honkai vaccine to those who actually have Honkai disease.”

"Understood, Doctor." Klein nodded slightly and turned to carry out the order.

"Wait, Klein," Möbius called out to Klein, "Why are you asking me about something you could handle yourself?"

In the World Serpent, Klein has considerable autonomy. For example, regarding the question just now, Klein would normally make the decision himself and would not actively seek her opinion.

However, during this period of time... Klein seemed to place too much importance on her opinions.

This resulted in her not having much time to socialize.

“I’m just the doctor’s assistant, how can I overstep my authority?” Klein sighed. “Of course, this kind of thing should be discussed with Dr. Möbius.”

When the topic turned to this, her tone changed again.

"It can't be because Dr. Mebius is out socializing with Miss Eden, Miss Alicia, Miss Aponia, Miss Velvet and others every day, leaving me to handle the work alone, that I feel dissatisfied, right?"

Mebius: "..."

Indeed, she increased Klein's workload somewhat during this period, but she didn't go out flirting with girls every day. She spent at least five days a week in the lab, and at most, she would go to Sister Aponia to pray after get off work.

However, this did reduce the time she spent with Klein. During her research, she was mostly with Vervie, and the two were able to understand each other's thinking and generate enough sparks.

Klein, either unable to keep up with her train of thought or busy with other work, did indeed spend much less time with her.

"Doctor, is there anything else?" Klein asked Möbius calmly, as meticulous and serious as ever, as if nothing had changed, and it was definitely not because he had been neglected.

“Yes, it’s something very important.” Möbius looked troubled, her slender hand supporting her forehead as she asked Klein.

"Klein, I have a friend whose lover is sullen. How can I comfort her?"

Klein: “…”

“If I can’t comfort him, my friend won’t be able to eat or sleep well, and he won’t even have the energy to go to work.” Möbius shook his head gently, his emerald green eyes revealing worry. “Normally I didn’t notice, but when my friend’s lover got upset, he realized how terrible his life was going to become.”

She sighed.

“Klein, my friend said she feels guilty and wants to make it up to her lover, but she doesn’t know how.”

"..." Klein pursed her lips, suppressing the urge to laugh. She couldn't laugh; she was extremely angry and had to remain cold towards the Doctor.

Otherwise, all our previous efforts will be in vain.

"So distressed, so distressed, so distressed." Möbius slumped over his desk, his voice filled with deep distress and melancholy. "My Klein, do you have any ideas? Otherwise, my friend can't sleep, and he's even less able to work. He might even lose his appetite and starve to death."

“Doctor, I’m not good at comforting other people’s girlfriends.” Klein turned around, his back to Möbius, so she wouldn’t see his expression, his voice deliberately cold. “I’m just a mere assistant. I don’t know anything about that kind of thing. The only thing I’m good at is working overtime.”

“That would be troublesome.” Möbius sighed, then smiled and asked Klein, “How about… we simulate being lovers first, and slowly find inspiration to solve the problem?”

"Doctor, I still have a lot of work to do." Klein explained with a troubled expression. This time it was the truth; she did have a lot of work to do at World Serpent.

There isn't much time to simulate dating.

“That kind of thing can be handled by Velvi and Alicia,” Mebius explained. “Let them take over some of your work for now, and we’ll go on a date, no… a simulated romance.”

She gazed at Klein's retreating figure and asked softly.

"Klein, how long do you think a simulated relationship should last? Is it a day, a week, or a month?"

"Or is it a lifetime?"

"..." Klein's delicate body trembled, and she could vaguely feel Dr. Mebius's malicious gaze behind her.

“Doctor, it depends on the time we can spare,” she replied calmly, though her voice betrayed a hint of unease.

Why was she ultimately given the final choice?

“How about this, until my friend’s lover gets over his anger,” Möbius suggested, “we’ll keep simulating a relationship, traveling to a different place every day, exploring the world, how about that?”

“But, my work.” Klein was conflicted at this point; she really had a lot of work to do and couldn’t just leave.

“Klein, I am the true master of the World Serpent,” Mebius scoffed. “As my assistant, you are not allowed to refuse.”

"Let me arrange it." Cleine gently brushed her hair behind her ear, then hurriedly left the office.

"I need to make some proper arrangements." Möbius opened the computer on his desk, intending to plan a travel itinerary.

The next day.

In the Lord's office.

Alicia sat in the World Serpent Lord's seat and turned on the computer on Mebius's desk. This... did not mean that she had stolen the World Serpent Lord's position, nor did she intend to steal the World Serpent's secrets.

Instead, he temporarily assumes the position of "Lord" of the World Serpent, handling matters that are inconvenient for outsiders to deal with.

Of course, she didn't have complete authority over everything.

"Honestly, she just went on a date out of nowhere." Velvi sighed, looking at Alicia sitting in the seat of the World Serpent Lord and chuckling, "How does it feel, holding great power?"

“There doesn’t seem to be anything special about it.” Alicia shook her head. “It seems that Mebius didn’t leave any secrets on the computer.”

“That has facial recognition,” Vervier explained. “If Mebius hadn’t operated it himself, the hidden information wouldn’t have appeared.”

"I see." Alicia was somewhat disappointed. She stood up and left her position as the World Serpent Lord. Although she was nominally in charge of the World Serpent for the time being, the one who actually managed the World Serpent was... Velvey.

Her main job is to maintain stability within the World Serpent, represent Mebius's will, and communicate between different departments.

Essentially, it's not much different from what Klein did before.

If there has to be a difference, it's that the deepest secrets of some world serpents can only be accessed by Klein himself and Möbius.

No one else has the way of knowing.

“Speaking of which, Ellie,” Velvi asked suddenly, “you seem to be very close to… Möbius.”

"Isn't it normal for beautiful girls to be close?" Alicia tilted her head and asked.

But Wilvi shook her head. "No, this intimacy has gone beyond the normal range."

“Perhaps, it’s because I’m worried.” Alicia lightly touched her cherry lips with her finger, thought for a moment and then answered, “I feel that if we leave Mébius alone, sooner or later he will do something that will cause a lot of trouble.”

"It shouldn't be that bad, right? Isn't Klein with Möbius?" Velvi thought for a moment and retorted.

She understood Alicia's words. A genius like Mebius, if he were merely a mere interpreter without sufficient emotional support to correctly understand the world, the destruction he would cause would be unprecedentedly terrifying.

Therefore, Alicia hopes to give Möbius enough emotional support so that he can realize the importance of emotions and people.

However, it seems that Möbius already had this affection and support, and Klein would silently support Möbius no matter what he did.

This affection is second to none.

but.

“Klein is too lenient with Mebius.” Alicia shook her head. “If Mebius wanted to be the Demon King, then Klein would not hesitate to become the Witch.”

“…It seems you have a point.” After thinking about it, Velvi felt that Alicia was right. She and Mebius not only plotted to overthrow the current pattern of human civilization, but also developed the extremely dangerous Herrscher.

However, Klein never objected from beginning to end; he simply assisted them in their work.

I hadn't thought about it in detail before. I thought Klein was one of us, an accomplice like them, someone who could understand their way of thinking.

But what if Klein had simply supported Möbius from the very beginning?

It's not because I support human evolution, nor because I support changing the human social system.

It's just supporting Mebius.

Chapter 109

Gradually losing oneself

In front of the villa.

Padofilis looked troubled and asked Alicia beside her, "Alicia, is it really okay to skip work like this?"
