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

"Why do you think your life doesn't matter?" Möbius asked Karen with some confusion. "For someone who hasn't even been born, you'd want to kill a living person right in front of you?"

"..." Karen paused for a moment, looking at Möbius's serious expression, realizing that he truly believed it. "I've suddenly changed my opinion of you. I didn't expect Möbius to have such a gentle side."

Although, at present, Möbius's actions and research seem to be things that are unacceptable to ordinary people's values.

However, they unexpectedly value life, and a person who can value the weight of life is probably a gentle person.

He's not some kind of mad scientist.

"...How bad was I in your memory before?" Möbius couldn't help but retort.

However, she didn't really care. Whether in her past life or this life, she was feared and respected by others.

Not many people think she's a good person.

“I’m sorry, at first, in my mind, Mebius was the kind of mad scientist villain you often see in movies.” Karen clasped her hands together, closed one eye, and apologized softly, “I really shouldn’t have judged people based on first impressions. You… are surprisingly moral.”

“No… my moral bottom line is quite flexible.” With a wave of her hand, Mebius rejected Karen’s flattery. She was indeed quite flexible in her moral bottom line; she was not a morally perfect person, and the things she did… did not quite conform to people’s basic sense of justice.

Therefore, he is able to accept the image of himself as a mad scientist in the eyes of others.

Rather, the image of a mad scientist can be quite useful sometimes.

“…Then we definitely need to be more careful.” Karen smiled, then frowned. “But if that’s the case, Otto won’t cooperate with your actions properly, will he?”

“That’s where your help comes in,” Möbius replied calmly. “Don’t tell Otto yet that I have no way to resurrect Karen from five hundred years ago.”

At this point, she frowned and said something else.

"Actually, it's not that there's no way, it's just that it can't be done at this stage, it's just... a bit troublesome."

Hua, don't stop!

"...Does time travel really exist?" Kallen asked Mebius. Although Honkai energy, Honkai Beasts, and Herrschers exist in this world, they are common knowledge to her.

In her view, time is merely a process of material change.

“It exists, but there’s only hope after my plan is completed.” Möbius shook his head, not intending to elaborate on the matter, and naturally changed the subject, “Karen, aren’t you going to see Theresa?”

In this world, Kallen and Theresa are... sisters without blood ties; Theresa is the younger sister, and Kallen is the older sister.

The two have a very good relationship.

Otherwise, Karen wouldn't have helped Theresa escape her fate; she only wanted Theresa to witness the outside world.

Although, after being released, Theresa was unable to control her vampiric urges.

"...For now, let's not meet." Kallen touched her neck and shook her head gently. She felt ashamed to face Theresa for the time being. As the older sister, she had even considered killing her younger sister and was ready to carry it out, if Mebius hadn't intervened.

Theresa may already be dead.

Although, in that case, she would also die because of Theresa's death.

But there is no doubt that she made a choice that betrayed Theresa.

“I won’t interfere with your choice.” Möbius nodded understandingly, then changed the subject and asked, “By the way, since you and Theresa are sisters, shouldn’t you call Otto Grandpa?”

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

Karen, who had been worried, froze. She had never thought about this issue before. She had always called Otto Bishop and Theresa her sister, and their relationship had always remained the same.

However, now that I think about it, her relationship with Otto is indeed a bit complicated.

“…Theresa’s birth involved some of Kallen’s genes.” Möbius’s expression was subtle. “Physically speaking, you should be considered Theresa’s mother, right?”

“But I am not Theresa’s mother.” Kallen quickly shook her head and put her hand on her chest. “After I gained consciousness, my body was modified by the bacterial Honkai Beasts. I am no longer the Kallen I used to be.”

“That’s true, you seem to have inherited some of Theresa’s genetic information.” Möbius nodded, raising his chin slightly.

"Na Karen, shouldn't you call me father or mother?" Her tone was calm and natural, yet it revealed a hint of mischievousness.

"...It's just a bacterial Honkai Beast infection." Kallen rolled her eyes. "Besides, you and Theresa haven't confirmed your relationship."

“Theresa, you kissed me first,” Möbius said with a gentle smile. “Doesn’t that say enough?”

At this point, she tilted her head.

"Karen, you were secretly watching back then, weren't you?"

"I can't argue with you, so I'm not going to talk to you anymore." Karen chose to shut up, realizing her powerlessness in the face of words.

These people who use their brains... are really hard to deal with.

“Just kidding, you are Theresa’s sister, there’s no doubt about that.” Möbius stood up and walked towards the laboratory exit.

He spoke from the doorway, his back to Karen.

"Please believe that I have no ill intentions towards humanity."

After saying that, she pushed open the door and left the laboratory. She had already gotten what she wanted while examining Karen's body.

As expected, the bacteria-level Honkai Beasts contained within Kallen's body are more gentle and harmless, better able to modify humans, reduce damage to consciousness, and preserve human self and perception as much as possible.

This is related to the addition of a special gene fragment to Karen's body.

This special genetic information fragment has a suppressive effect on both Honkai energy and Honkai beasts.

It is very likely related to the genes of the Shaniat family.

Well, some people may not be familiar with Schariac, but if we say Cecilia Schariac... then it might be much clearer.

In short, this family gene fragment contains the power to purify and manipulate Honkai.

Otto then used this genetic information on Karen.

“…Möbius really does resemble him somewhat.” Karen looked at the closed door, leaned back wearily on the bench, and let out a long sigh.

During her time with Möbius, she felt that Möbius gave off the impression of being in complete control. Even after understanding what Möbius wanted to do, she couldn't stop or interfere.

There was a sense of powerlessness and frustration.

……

……

And at the same time.

Outside the door.

"Hua, thank you for your hard work." Mebius looked at Fu Hua, who was quietly waiting for her to come out in the corridor. During this time, she had been very responsible in protecting her, which gave her a sense of security. In a sense, she was very boyfriend-like.

No wonder Fu Hua is so popular with so many girls.

"It's alright, this little bit of time won't matter." Fu Hua shook her head calmly, looking at the woman in the white coat next to Mebius. She had a vague sense of déjà vu, as if she had seen her dressed like this a long, long time ago.

But I can't remember now.

“It’s rare to have some free time, let’s chat.” Mebius came to Fu Hua’s side, naturally took her wrist, and pulled her towards his room.

Fu Hua did not resist, knowing that Möbius was prone to physical intimacy with those close to him.

It's probably not an intentional attempt to take advantage.

Moreover, even if she was taking advantage of someone else... she couldn't do anything about it, as the other person was a friend from the past, and she could tolerate it as long as it wasn't excessive.

There will be no resistance.

After a period of time.

In the bedroom.

"I'm exhausted. I really want to take a break." Möbius rubbed his shoulders, stretched, and collapsed onto the bed.

Fu Hua, standing to the side, shook her head. She was so calm and capable when she was working, but she became lazy when she returned to her private life.

“I can massage your acupoints to relieve some stress.” She sat down on the edge of the bed and asked Möbius, “Would you like me to give you a massage?”

Mebius really worked hard today, without a proper rest, and didn't even have time to spend with Theresa.

"Please, Hua." Mebius turned around and lay down on the soft bed, but Fu Hua shook her head, looked at the white coat Mebius was wearing, and helplessly reached out to help him take it off.

It was thrown onto the sofa next to it.

then.

"Bear with it, it might be a little sore." Fu Hua straddled Mebius's waist and placed her hands on his shoulders.

"Mmm~" A suppressed moan escaped her lips. Mebius's slender hands instinctively gripped the sheets tightly, and her toes curled up involuntarily.

Then, the door was pushed open silently.

"..." Theresa stared in disbelief as Fu Hua pinned Mebius down on the bed, looking as if she was about to do something indecent.

"Don't stop, Hua," Möbius hummed lazily. "I can hold back, keep going."

"..." Fu Hua's expression was a little stiff. Seeing the danger in Theresa's scarlet eyes, she opened her mouth to explain.

"Actually, I was just getting a massage."
