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

Even isotopes are just as dangerous and insane.

……

……

after a while.

In the laboratory.

Mebius brought Fu Hua back in, where Theresa and Kaoru were sitting in a corner, whispering to each other.

It seems that they have become quite familiar with it in a short period of time.

"Looks like she's recovering well." Mebius observed Kaoru's physical condition, even though she had been tormented by Honkai energy and was on the verge of death not long ago.

However, he is currently very energetic, similar to a last burst of energy before death. This state is due to the invasion of the bacterial Honkai Beast into his body, which continuously modifies his body to create the illusion of recovery.

After a while, they will gradually lose their memories and emotions, turning into chunks of flesh used to spread bacteria from Honkai Beasts.

Until they die completely.

"Hmm, I feel healthier than ever before." Kaoru stood up, stretched her body, and smiled at Mebius.

"Even before I got the Honkai disease, I wasn't this healthy. The power of vampires is truly incredible."

The body recovered quickly from a mere, painless bite, and the marks left by the skin disease disappeared rapidly.

It feels like it could kill a cow with one punch... well, that's a bit of an exaggeration.

But at least it can kill a puppy with one punch.

"This is just an illusion. Soon you will slowly lose your memory and become a carrier for spreading the vampire virus." Mebius ruthlessly shattered the girl's expectations. "If you don't hurry up and get treatment, you will be no different from a dead person."

"I will cooperate with the treatment obediently." Kaoru nodded with a smile, showing no disappointment at all because of Mebius's cold water.

"Extend your hand," Mebius said, and after Kaoru extended her slender, white hand, she took out a syringe and injected the red liquid into Kaoru's body through a vein in her wrist.

That's a formula combining highly concentrated Honkai energy and special substances.

The effect is to increase mental sensitivity, make one more receptive to hypnosis or guidance, and incidentally, to activate the human body.

Undoubtedly, this will hasten Kaoru's death.

but.

"It's up to you, Hua." Mebius calmly withdrew the syringe and stepped back to Theresa's side.

Then, Fu Hua reached out and placed his hand on Xun's head, muttering incomprehensible syllables to the girl.

This is the final step in the treatment.

Chapter Fourteen

I just wanted to see it.

"Hua, she's a Valkyrie, is she really good at healing?" Theresa's scarlet eyes revealed her worry as she looked at Fu Hua pressing down on Xun's head, who remained motionless.

No unusual phenomena occurred during this time; the two seemed to have turned into statues, making it difficult to determine their condition.

“If it’s on a spiritual level, Hua won’t have a problem. She has a wealth of experience in this area.” Möbius’s delicate face showed a subtle expression. “I guess that’s what they mean by becoming an expert through long-term illness.”

"Hua...does he have mental problems?" Theresa blurted out instinctively, then realized how rude that was and quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

Mebius, however, didn't seem to care much about this, and knowing that Fu Hua didn't care either, he explained to Theresa.

"Hua is a powerful fusion warrior who has fused with Garuda's super-mutant factor, possessing unparalleled regenerative abilities and a photographic memory."

She pointed to her temple.

"And this photographic memory means that the accumulated information will never be forgotten, constantly putting pressure on her brain and consciousness, causing all sorts of problems."

"And this naturally includes mental health issues, so Hua is very good at dealing with mental health problems."

"At least preserving human consciousness is not a problem."

"..." Theresa listened to the explanation and remained silent for a moment. "Hua, she must be having a very hard time, right?"

“Hmm, I’ll find a way to absolve her of her responsibilities.” Möbius’s gaze fell on Fu Hua, silently waiting for the treatment to be completed.

She had great confidence that Fu Hua could be successfully treated. She possessed the Divine Key Feather of the previous civilization, which was enough to preserve a person's complete self-awareness even when the brain cells were reorganized and restructured.

After all, the Divine Key represents the power of the Herrscher.

Half an hour later.

Fu Hua withdrew her hand from Xun's head, turned her head and nodded to Mebius. Although it took some time, Xun's personality and memories were preserved.

"Thank you for your hard work, Hua." Mebius thanked him with a smile, but Fu Hua shook her head indifferently.

"It's alright, it's just a small matter."

"...It was a life-saving favor for me." Kaoru opened her eyes and thanked Mebius and Fu Hua.

"If there is anything I need, I will do my best to repay you." She felt more relaxed and powerful than ever before.

Yeah, it's probably strong enough to kill a cow with one punch.

"I don't need any repayment," Fu Hua shook her head. "I'm just acting on Möbius's orders."

“But, to me, Hua is a benefactor.” Xun raised her hand and gently placed it on her chest, looking at Fu Hua with a sunny smile. “This repayment is out of my own gratitude, it’s my one-sided desire to be good to Hua.”

"..." Fu Hua fell silent, speechless. The other party wanted to repay her on their own, and she had no way to refuse.

Seeing Fu Hua remain silent, Xun took it as tacit agreement and then turned to look at Mebius and Theresa.

"The same goes for Theresa and Dr. Möbius; I will do everything in my power to repay you."

"No need for repayment. We'll be collecting more data from you later, so consider that your feedback." Möbius shook his head, turned to Theresa, and a slight smile played on his lips. "As for Theresa, there's even less need. As a member of the Familia, you should have sensed it."

"Feeling?" Xun turned to look at Theresa, meeting her crimson eyes, and immediately felt an invisible connection, a superior-subordinate relationship, like that of an ant and its queen, but much closer and stronger.

"Have you noticed? This is the price you have to pay?" Mebius smiled. "When you borrowed Theresa's power to restore your body, you were also transformed into Theresa's familiar."

In this world, Theresa's power is not just about infection; she also possesses the ability to control the infected individuals.

Of course, this is assuming the other party has a brain. If they were turned into a living lump of flesh, even Theresa wouldn't have much of a way to deal with them.

However, even if she is just a living piece of flesh, Theresa is not without benefits; she can gain power by infecting individuals.

The more humans are infected, the stronger and more comprehensive Theresa's power will become.

Until there is no one stronger than her in this world.

“This little price is nothing.” Xun smiled brightly and winked playfully. “Besides, doesn’t this mean that Theresa and I are even closer? That’s not a bad thing.”

“I won’t use my abilities to control you.” Theresa said with a very serious expression. She didn’t want to use her abilities to dominate and control her friend.

It is a cruel thing to deprive someone of their freedom, something she, having been a caged bird in the past, knows very well.

That was so painful and agonizing.

"Yes, I believe you." Kaoru nodded with a smile; she could sense that Theresa was a very gentle person.

She will not be deprived of her freedom without a reason.

……

……

night.

Outside Shencheng Pharmaceutical Company.

Fu Hua leaned against a telephone pole, communicating with someone on the phone—it was a conversation with the Supreme Bishop of Schicksal.

It was a secretive, yet not secretive, exchange.

"How does it feel to see old friends?" A calm and composed voice came from the phone.

"..." Fu Hua did not answer immediately. After a moment of silence, she said, "I don't know how I feel right now."

“Is that so? But I can understand.” Otto chuckled. “Fifty thousand years have passed; that’s enough time to forget a great deal.”

"Fifty thousand years?" Fu Hua frowned slightly and asked Otto, "Mébius, who is she...?"

Before she could finish speaking, she heard Otto's reply.

“My old friend, why don’t you ask her yourself?” Otto chuckled. “It would be too boring for me to shatter this surprise.”

"I understand." Fu Hua replied calmly, then glanced in the direction of Shencheng Pharmaceuticals, where she saw Mebius and Theresa walking towards her. "They've set off. I'm hanging up."

“Alright, old friend, have fun.” Otto didn’t mind, just said with a smile, “By the way, this is an untimely reminder, that woman might be much more dangerous than you think.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone call ended.

(Couldn't you just say it clearly?) Fu Hua put down her phone. Sometimes she was quite annoying, only saying half of what she meant.

However, she still kept Otto's words in mind.

And just then.

"Hua, are you really going to the amusement park like this?" Mebius and Theresa walked over and looked at Fu Hua's clothes.

"Why dress so formally if we're not going to negotiate?" Möbius seemed to complain as he reached out and gently adjusted Fu Hua's tie. "At least wear something a little more girlish."
