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

I have known Hua for 50,000 years.

“…Hmm.” With a lazy, kitten-like whimper, Mebius opened her beautiful eyes drowsily and found herself still in the car, with Fu Hua beside her maintaining an upright posture, letting her lean on her shoulder to sleep.

"Hua, how long have I been asleep?" She covered her mouth and yawned, the sunlight streaming in through the car window making her squint slightly.

The rest period was longer than expected.

“Five hours have passed.” Fu Hua explained earnestly to Mebius, “If you’re still tired, I suggest you rest a bit more.”

"No, this is enough." Gently shaking his head, Möbius stretched lazily, then extended his slender white index finger and lightly touched Fu Hua's face. "Hua, do you want to rest for a while?"

"No, I don't feel tired at all." Fu Hua looked at Mebius's cunning yet concerned eyes, and for some reason, her dormant heart stirred slightly. It was a feeling she hadn't had in a long time. The pressure that had accumulated deep in her heart seemed to have been released unconsciously because of their overly intimate and playful actions.

If I had to describe it, it would be a sense of belonging, or a clear sense of self-positioning, in this generation, whether it's Otto or anyone else.

Actually, it's very difficult to give her that feeling, and even if she did... she's already lost that memory.

In the past, she was mostly detached from the current generation of humans.

That detachment from the world is what people call immortality.

"And the weariness in your heart?" Mebius asked with a smile, but was met with Fu Hua's unblinking gaze. She couldn't answer the question; whether the heart was truly weary was a question she had never considered.

Perhaps, they've already become completely numb.

“Let’s go, Hua.” Mebius shook his head, opened the car door and got out. Fu Hua followed him out, dutifully protecting them.

……

……

In the hospital ward.

"..." Himeko sat by the hospital bed, watching Fu Hua and Mebius walk in. She glanced at the distance between the two; it was very close, not the kind of distance strangers would deliberately maintain.

Just one night later, this woman, Mebius, actually seduced another beautiful young girl. Should we call her fickle or praise her for her skillful methods?

However, that's not the focus right now.

“Theresa, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” She yawned, stood up and came to Möbius’s side, gently patted his shoulder and said, “I’m going to rest for a bit. Just call me if anything comes up.”

After saying that, she waved to Theresa on the hospital bed, then turned and left the room. She hadn't slept all night, remaining on alert until Möbius returned.

After all, although she believed Theresa was a good girl, her bloodlust was undeniable.

If she gets bitten, it could be a serious problem for her.

"Thank you for your hard work, Himeko." Mebius thanked Himeko as she left, then turned his gaze to the hospital bed.

There, Theresa sat quietly, her ruby ​​eyes gazing at the returning Möbius, a look of relaxation and relief on her face.

"Welcome back, Mebius." She smiled charmingly, glancing at Fu Hua beside her with a hint of confusion.

"Is this a friend of Möbius?"

“Yes, we’ve known each other for many years.” Möbius chuckled and nodded, looking at Fu Hua as he spoke, “She is Hua, a friend we’ve known for fifty thousand years.”

stunned.

The answer was so outrageous that even Theresa, a vampire, looked astonished. Even she felt that 50,000 years was unreal, as it was beyond her comprehension.

Wait a minute, from another perspective, Mebius and Hua have both lived for 50,000 years, isn't this kind of thing... really not a joke?

Can humans live for 50,000 years?

Fu Hua also showed a surprised expression, but then quickly calmed down. She had originally thought that Mebius was someone she knew in this generation.

However, it seems that this is not the case now.

"It's just a joke." Mebius suddenly chuckled, sat down by the bedside, and pointed at Fu Hua to explain.

"Actually, her full name is Fu Hua, the Valkyrie of Schicksal. She is here to protect me, not some ancient relic who has lived for 50,000 years."

Old antique?

Fu Hua couldn't help but twitch her lips, but she didn't explain. She knew her own identity and past experiences, and even if she told them, not many people would believe her.

However, there is no doubt that Mebius's identity is not simple.

“Hello, Fu Hua.” Theresa didn’t think much of it and accepted this seemingly more reasonable explanation, giving Fu Hua a sincere smile. “I am Theresa Apocalypse, a… vampire.”

"I had already obtained Miss Theresa's information before the mission." Fu Hua nodded calmly. She didn't care much about the so-called vampires, even though they seemed very dangerous to ordinary people.

However, vampires were not particularly special to her; she treated them as a crisis on par with Honkai Beasts.

It needs to be taken seriously, but it doesn't need to be treated as a Herrscher-level ability.

“Anyway, let’s go have breakfast first.” Möbius interrupted their conversation, raising his hand to touch his lower abdomen and sighing. “To be honest, I’m feeling very hungry now and need to eat as soon as possible.”

"Yes, thank you for your hard work." Theresa nodded gently and thanked Möbius. She knew that he must have been very busy last night, running around for her sake.

However, she has no way to accompany or help him. If she wanders around with Mebius, the constant contact with humans will only intensify her bloodlust, causing her to go berserk and attack people indiscriminately.

Therefore, he could only stay in the hospital and suppress his blood-sucking urges by sleeping.

……

……

And at the same time.

"...Have you made up your mind, Kaoru?" A middle-aged couple looked at the woman on the hospital bed and couldn't help but try to dissuade her.

“Those documents don’t seem reliable,” the still-attractive woman whispered worriedly to her daughter. “Maybe we should just forget about them.”

"Mm." Kaoru nodded gently.

but.

"But they seem quite professional," the woman said, her tone suddenly shifting to one of hesitation.

"Perhaps there's a reason to take the risk."

"Hmm." Kaoru nodded with a smile again, looking at her hesitant mother, who had been wavering on the decision for a long time.

However, there is no way to make a choice.

"Kaoru, you make the choice." In the end, it was the father who made the final decision. "No matter what you choose, your mother will support you."

"Then let's give it a try." Kaoru smiled brightly. "Even if we're going to die, it'll still be more interesting and worth looking forward to than a mundane surgery."

“Then I’ll contact them.” The father nodded, took out his phone, and made a call.

The call was connected very quickly.

"Hello?" Karen's voice came through the phone. "Is this Miss Kaoru?"

"No, I am Kaoru's father."

Chapter 12

灰蛇

Shencheng Pharmaceuticals.

This is a company with operations in various countries around the world that possesses cutting-edge medical technology. It not only has extremely strong R&D capabilities but also the most advanced medical equipment, making it an ideal place for experimental use.

And right now.

Inside the most heavily guarded area of ​​Shencheng Pharmaceutical Company, an experiment that could revolutionize humanity is unfolding.

"..." Xun pursed her cherry lips. She was in a laboratory, but there was no medical equipment around her. The walls were so white that there was not a single texture. The bright light from the ceiling made her feel like she was under the scorching sun.

Rather than saying she is receiving treatment, it would be more accurate to say she is being imprisoned.

"Don't be nervous, the treatment process isn't as complicated as you think," Mebius reassured the anxious girl, then turned to Theresa and whispered, "Drink her blood, implant the bacterial Honkai Beast into her body."

"..." Theresa did not do it immediately, but firmly shook her head slightly. She did not want to actively drink human blood, as that would be tantamount to murder.

Those who are drained of her blood will have bacteria-level Honkai Beasts implanted in them, which will modify them and transform them into half-human, half-Honkai Beast beings.

Furthermore, they will lose human emotions and memories, turning into zombie-like beings that indiscriminately attack everything and spread infection continuously.

The consequences of this are imaginable; both movies and historical records of the Black Death demonstrate the corresponding outcomes.

Although she is now in a safe place and there is no need to worry about the spread and infection of the vampire virus, she will not do so for research and treatment.

They went and took the life of a young girl.

“She’s dying soon, it’s Honkai disease.” Mebius ignored Theresa’s resistance and calmly explained to her, “It’s a disease that current technology can’t cure, it’s the result of the human body’s inability to adapt to Honkai.”

She approached the girl named Kaoru, reached out and pulled down Kaoru's collar, revealing the marks on her fair neck caused by the Honkai infection.

"If we want to save her, the only way is to... change her constitution and give her the adaptability to Honkai, that is, to infect her and turn her into a half-Honkai beast."

"So, I have Honkai disease?" Kaoru touched the erosion marks on her neck. She didn't know what disease she had, and she knew nothing about Honkai. However, at least she now knew the cause.

“Even if she gains Honkai energy adaptability, she can no longer be called human,” Theresa said softly, but with great determination.

"What if she retained human reason and appearance?" Möbius countered. "Then, would you still consider Theresa not to be human?"

"Is it possible?" Theresa looked up and met Möbius's eyes, then received a matter-of-fact answer.
