"You're having such an exciting time with others, but with me... and you're already asleep?!" Mo Mo slept peacefully. After experiencing a series of unexpected events, he wanted to rest fully during this rare brief respite. He didn't know how much time had passed when a discordant sound entered his ears. "Bang bang bang!"

Bang! Mo Mo pulled the pillow covering his head tighter.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The knocking was so forceful it seemed the door was about to be broken down. Mo Mo resignedly pulled her head out, sighing. "The door's unlocked, please come in." After a moment of silence, the door was slowly pushed open. Mo Mo glanced indifferently at the doorway, but her eyes involuntarily widened...

102. An unexpected guest

Kiana gently pushed open the door, her face expressionless. Standing in the doorway, her gaze swept over the entire room, taking in all its furnishings. Her fingers traced the doorframe as she entered. Everything was exactly as it had been in 21iZ—the room, the house, everything was unchanged, as if time had stood still. Only, the people who once lived here would never return. Kiana walked to the bedside and sat down. Everywhere she looked was spotless; clearly, someone had meticulously cleaned the room before her arrival.

7.7 times... Kiana murmured softly, then -10. She lay down on the bed. Just like before, only the space that used to be enough to play in now seemed a little cramped. Even if she returned to this place, what difference would it make? Her mother was gone, and her father would never come back. Only herself remained.

In the vast space, only Zi 2 remained. It was almost a silent mockery of himself.

Kiana closed her eyes, her body exhausted, urging her to fall asleep quickly, but her mind was constantly churning, turning the pages of her memories.

The emptiness in my heart is like a ravenous monster, devouring everything clean yet still unsatisfied, endlessly roaring and swelling.

I wanted to think about something, but found my mind was blank. I wanted to do something, but found there was nothing to do. It was exactly the same as when I had no freedom at all. It turned out I had never escaped; I had just moved from a narrow cage to a more spacious prison. I tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Kiana rolled off the bed, but remained unmoved.

After remaining motionless for a moment, she slowly sat up in the corner at the foot of the bed, hugging her legs tightly, as if only curling up in this corner could bring her a sense of security. Her breathing gradually became softer.

Mo Mo pushed the cup forward and sat down at the table.

"Only water?" The man sitting opposite him glanced at the full water glass and asked, "Actually, I wanted coffee, but tea would be nice too." "I don't think we have what you're looking for here, at least not in this room, Dad." Mo Mo replied without hesitation. "That's really inconsiderate. To welcome my father, who has come from so far away, with only a glass of water." Mo Ba shook his head. "Never mind, being too forward would truly be inconsiderate."

Mo Mo rested her chin on her hand, silently watching the man in front of her slowly sipping water.

His missing father was now sitting right in front of him, a sight that felt surreal. Mo Mo subtly touched his waist. He hadn't forgotten how, not long ago, he'd been ambushed and kicked hard in the ribs. "You seemed surprised to see me earlier. Who did you think it was?" Mo Ba suddenly asked abruptly. "Your little girlfriend..."

"There's nothing to be ashamed of. It's perfectly normal to crave more after the first taste of forbidden fruit; you should be proud of your assets." Mo Ba continued to speak to himself.

"However, there's one thing I must remind you: young people still need to be frugal. Indulging in desires without restraint is not something a mature person would do."

"What I do with her is none of your business." Mo Mo finally couldn't bear the awkward atmosphere any longer and asked, "Dad, what exactly are you here for?"

"Does a father need a reason to come and see his son whom he hasn't seen in a long time?" Mo Ba put down his water glass and said matter-of-factly, "Wouldn't that be too ironic?"

“But isn’t it even more ironic that everything is exactly as I said?” Mo Mo corrected, “And we clearly just met a few days ago, and you even stepped on my foot.”

"What a clever little thing..." Mo Ba opened Mo Mo's eyes and then looked away. "Stop pretending!" Mo Mo slammed his hand on the table, splashing a few drops of liquid from the half-empty water glass. "You clearly know I've been looking for you, you know I have many questions for you. Since you've been avoiding me before, why are you showing up in front of me now?" "Hey, that arrogant rich man's aura, looks like you've grown up too." Completely ignoring Mo Mo's questioning, Mo Ba continued, "Did you teach this, System?" "Please allow me to clarify this point. I have never taught Mo Mo to yell at elders, Leader." Mo Mo's voice also rang out, "And I now have a new name, Mo Mo, I hope you can understand. "Since that's the case, do you still want to call me 'Leader'? In any case, your birth is inseparable from my teachings." "Dad..." Mo Ba looked thoroughly amused. "Mo Zai, you always manage to come up with new and interesting things to do."

"Dad!" Mo Mo stood up, slamming his hands on the table. "Answer my question!" Mo Ba glanced at Mo Mo, clicked his tongue, and said, "I know, I know, why are you yelling so loudly? This is unlike you." "Who do you think this is about?" Mo Ba turned to the person in charge. "As expected." Mo Mo sighed, sat back in his chair, and said listlessly, "What is it?" "To provide you with top-secret information about the World Serpent." Mo Ba said mysteriously, "So, want to hear it?"

"Aren't you an ally of the World Serpent now? Why would you suddenly offer me top-secret intelligence?" Mo Mo's face was full of suspicion and disbelief. "I've never said I'm an ally of the World Serpent," Mo Ba shrugged. "I've said it before, I'm just an observer, both then and now."

"You're talking nonsense! You clearly saved that woman named Jackal last time! You even kicked me!" Mo Mo immediately retorted.

"Why are you so petty, kid? Mo Zai, I don't remember raising you to be so narrow-minded." Mo Ba's face hardened, and he said sternly. "Then let me kick you and see? I promise I'll only insert the card halfway." "That's outrageous." Mo Ba shook his head, looking pained. "Even as a bystander, I have a responsibility to prevent the situation from getting out of control." "So you just kicked me?"

"So, I'm here to deliver intelligence to you now, aren't I? Can you please stop bringing that up all the time? It's really embarrassing," Mo Ba said, displeased. "This isn't called being a traitor; I'm here to maintain the balance between the two sides. Do you understand what I'm saying?" "Balance?" Mo Mo frowned. In short, they were at a disadvantage before, so I provided them with assistance, that's all. "Mo Ba explained succinctly. "So, you're here to tip us off now, which means... we're the ones at a disadvantage now?" Mo Mo was somewhat unwilling to admit it. It was as if he held a huge advantage but was still far from victory. "Whether we're at a disadvantage or not, the final interpretation is up to me." "Mo Ba said, 'I naturally have my own purpose. Of course, you can also choose to refuse my help; the choice is yours.' Without much hesitation, Mo Mo decisively asked, 'Tell me. How did you so easily take down that Kevin?' 'Even if there were such a way, I wouldn't tell you, Mo Zai, because that would go against my original intention.' Mo Ba shook his head. 'But I can tell you where their headquarters is.'"

"To be precise, it's the current location of Kevin Kaslana, the leader of the World Serpent," Mo Ba continued. "By the way—after the operation in Sky City concluded, Kevin recalled all his subordinates from outside, and they are currently in a state of full assembly." Mo Mo stared at Mo Ba's face, but couldn't read anything. 'Although you are my father, I now...it's really difficult...'

"I'm not a father now, but a ruthless intelligence NPC," Mo Ba declared confidently. "Whether you believe it or not is your business. I'm just here..."

"Does the World Serpent know you're here?" "Of course not, because for now, I'm on your side, just like I was helping them before." Mo Ba shook his head. "However, God makes it clear beforehand that they might have prepared strong defenses in advance, or they might not, but that's beyond the scope of my intelligence."

[Mo Mo, should I believe him? 1]

[You shouldn't be asking me this, Mo Zai.] Mo Mo became unusually serious. [No matter what, he is your father, your family.]

[But that person is also my sister, my family. 1. I can't argue with that. Anyway, you decide what to do.] "So hesitant... Do you really think I'm that untrustworthy? It's heartbreaking."

“That’s how it should be. My proud son, hesitation isn’t your style.” Mo Ba suddenly stood up and walked to Mo Mo’s side, leaning down to whisper in his ear. Then he straightened up and asked, “Did you hear me? I don’t think I need to repeat myself.”

"I think I understand. Very good." Mo Ba patted Mo Mo's shoulder with satisfaction. "Then I need to reiterate to you, listen carefully, the World Serpent is unaware of my actions, but if you ask me whether I can confirm that the World Serpent took precautions in advance, the answer is NO. Therefore, please act cautiously from now on, I look forward to your performance."

After saying that, Mo Ba picked up the hat from the table, put it on his head, and made to leave. "Well, now that I've accomplished my mission, I should take my leave. See you later." Wait! Mo Mo called out to Mo Ba, "Answer me one more question." "Oh?" "So, Dad, what exactly is your purpose?" Mo Ba, with his back to Mo Mo, silently pulled his hat down further. "Same as you, Mo Zai."

"Whether it's you, Kevin, or me, the goal is the same," Mo Ba said, seemingly implying something. "To save the world." "Save the world? Explain yourself!" Mo Mo stood up and chased after Mo Ba. "I can only say I have no comment on the details," Mo Ba opened the door and walked out, turning back to wave at Mo Mo as he closed it.

"Hey!" Mo Mo grabbed the handle, pulled open the closed door, and rushed out of the room.

Mo Mo seemed to have bumped into something, and after running back a few steps, he fell to the ground.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch." A familiar muttering followed. Qiyana?~ Mo Mo rubbed his nose, caught off guard by the person who was also slumped on the ground, clutching their face and crying in pain. 'How is it you?' Wait, this isn't the time to be curious about that. Realizing what was happening, Mo Mo quickly got up and looked around, but the familiar yet unfamiliar figure was completely gone.

"Mo Mo, what are you doing? It hurts so much!" Kiana stood up, rubbing her chest and still muttering to herself. Seeing Mo Mo looking around absentmindedly, she quickly forgot about the pain and asked, slightly puzzled, "What's wrong? What happened?" A hint of disappointment flashed across her face as Mo Mo replied, "Someone was here just now..." "...Here?" Kiana's eyes narrowed. "Who was it? Kallen? But I didn't see anyone else...Could it be..."

"You...your dad!" Kiana's astonishment was no less than Mo Mo's earlier. "Uncle Mo came by?!" "He only said a few words before slipping away again. He's impossible to catch." Mo Mo sighed helplessly. He simply left her with the address of what he claimed to be the enemy's headquarters before disappearing without a trace. There wasn't even a chance for casual conversation. It truly seemed to be his usual style.

However, Mo Mo had a vague premonition that their next meeting might not be too far off. He would avenge that kick one day.

Having long been accustomed to his father's elusive nature, Mo Mo didn't show much emotion and quickly returned to his usual self, though he firmly memorized the information Mo Ba had revealed. "Mo Mo... are you alright?" Knowing Mo Mo's inner turmoil, Kiana also slightly abandoned her playful intentions. "What's with that expression? What's the big deal?" Mo Mo, however, was somewhat surprised by Kiana's concern. 'But Kiana, why did you come to see me? It must be quite late now...'

Mo Mo suddenly fell silent, glanced at the now-deserted corridor, then at the bewildered Kiana, his expression conflicted. "Um, Kiana, while I know this is exciting, we're still so young. Isn't it a bit much to be constantly obsessed with this kind of thing?"

A well-placed pause leaves room for imagination. "Who! Who came for that kind of thing?!" Kiana's face flushed instantly. "It's important, important! I was so worried about you, what the hell are you thinking?!" Important?

"We finally regrouped, and everyone's gathered together now, but you're still fast asleep. I came specifically to call you to come with me." Kiana kicked Mo's shin, her voice lowering. "It's not for...for that kind of thing. I'm not like you, with such...strong desires. To be honest, this kind of Mo is more reassuring." "Is that so? But last night it was clearly your..."

"Don't say it! Don't say it!" Kiana covered Mo Mo's mouth like she was burying her head in the sand, grabbed his hand, turned and walked away quickly. "If you say it again, there won't be another chance! Next time?" What if he gets addicted? That would be bad. "When?" "How about... tonight?"

103. Someone is involved!

A series of meaningless syllables, mixed with the sound of water rubbing, echoed through the room, yet only two people could hear this rare sound.

“Um, Kiana,” Mo Mo said, lying on the bed and looking at the blank ceiling.

“Uru-uru-ma-ru-yan------” “How can I possibly understand you when you talk like that? Don’t talk with something in your mouth.” Mo Mo’s gaze gradually moved down and met Kiana’s eyes.

"Just say what you want to say! Getting interrupted halfway through is really annoying," Kiana complained, slightly annoyed. "Don't you think this is a bit inappropriate? We were just attending a banquet with everyone, and now..." "It's not a big deal, is it?" Although her mouth was empty, Kiana's hands didn't stop moving. "It's so late now, isn't this our private time? We can do whatever we want, right?" "That's true..." Why are you suddenly being so hesitant? If you keep this up, I'm going back. "No." Mo Mo suddenly straightened up and refused. "Ha, men." Kiana clicked her tongue dismissively.

Even without translation, one should be able to understand its meaning without difficulty. Or rather, what it represents. "Actually, I just feel a bit cramped," Kiana said, brushing a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "By the way, why is it still so hard? I'm almost exhausted." "Isn't it your task to soften it, dear Miss Kiana? And you even volunteered for it." Mo Mo twisted his waist, which hadn't moved for a long time. "Hurry up, hurry up! Didn't you say that stopping halfway would spoil the fun? gkdgkd." "Okay, glug glug glug." In the dead of night, between a lonely man and woman, there's nothing doubtful about what they can do—of course, it's a massage!

It's perfectly normal for a body that hasn't had a rest for a long time to gradually become stiff, right? That's when massage is needed to help it return to its original state.

Besides the experienced Kiana, are there any other candidates for this role?

As for those meaningless sounds, they were just people taking a sip of water when they got tired of operating the machine. Yeah, that's it. "-.-Yes, right here-." It's perfectly normal to let out a satisfied groan because of physical pleasure.

If any strange associations arise, it indicates impure thoughts, and self-purification is needed.

"Seriously, I'm not coming anymore!" Kiana suddenly gave up without warning. "?? ? You've been the only one having a good time, how can this be!" "0...."

"What the hell?!" Kiana straightened up, raising her eyebrows. 'I don't care, let's skip the foreplay and get straight to the point!' "So direct? Kiana, where's the stuff? Where's the stuff? Didn't you prepare anything?" Mo Mo interrupted, seeing Kiana's readiness for a full-blown assault.

"Things? I don't care about that kind of thing! I can't take it anymore, either I or you will be exhausted today!" Kiana licked her lips, her eyes flashing with a fierce light. "Previously..."

"You said the same thing last time... but when have you ever lost consciousness? I had no idea!" The direction of their conversation seemed to suddenly veer off in a strange direction. "Further words are useless, get scared, Momo!" "Overestimating yourself, face reality, Kiana!" A bizarre fight, on the verge of erupting.

1. "...In the room where only the two of them were, a third voice suddenly rang out, 'Behave yourselves!' Kiana and Momo simultaneously shuddered." Momo?

"Who else could it be but me?" Mo Mo's voice was filled with anger. "Do you two even know what restraint is? Is it fun to just be all lovey-dovey and whiny all the time? Shame on you!"

"Of course it's fun!" Mo Mo said matter-of-factly. "And you were actually spying? I didn't turn you off so you wouldn't be doing this! You should be ashamed!" "I turned off the camera a long time ago. Who do you think I am, daring to turn the tables on me? Don't look down on me!" the system argued. "Have you all noticed that Fu Hua hasn't been showing up much lately? What do you think is the reason? It's because you two have no idea what the arena is, and you're lurking all day to see inappropriate things. I feel sorry for her. I'm crying. Oh, I see. Fu Hua must have had a tough time. In her entire life, she probably hasn't seen such exciting scenes." "So what are you trying to get us to do all this?"

"How about it? Turn off the lights and go to sleep! And you, Kiana, go back to your room! Don't keep bothering Mo Mo!" Mo Mo said righteously. "As your sister and guardian, I will not allow you to indulge in debauchery all day long! This is my responsibility!" "You think I'll just go back because you tell me to? Wouldn't that make me lose face?" Kiana retorted sharply. "Mo Mo, let's ignore her. Can't you turn off your phone? Turn it off, and we'll continue!" "Are you really going to stay here?" Mo Mo's tone suddenly changed. "What, is that not allowed?" Kiana countered. "Really, really want to stay here?"

"I...you're not deliberately picking a fight, are you?" "Hmph, you'll regret this." Mo Mo suddenly said cryptically, as if she foresaw something extraordinary.

"But I'm not some kind of devil, so I'll give you a friendly heads-up," Mo Mo continued, "Four units are approaching, presumably targeting this room."

A thunderclap struck, scorching Kiana and Momo to a crisp.

Mo Mo quickly reached out and covered Kiana's mouth, which was already babbling uncontrollably, and whispered, "Is someone really here?" "Mmm~"

Mo Mo's heart had already turned cold.

"Oh no, oh no, oh no..." Kiana muttered to herself, immediately looking around frantically. "Clothes, clothes, clothes... It's too late to get out of here!" Whether it was her imagination or not, Kiana even heard faint footsteps. No, it's too late. She had to find a place to hide!

The closet? Too far. Under the table? That's suicide. Under the bed, that's it! The urgency of the situation gave Kiana a surge of incredible power, but just as she was about to move, the footsteps stopped. The next moment, the sound of a doorknob turning rang out.

"Thump, thump, thud! The door was pushed open without any resistance. 'Yahoo! Mo Mo, we're here to play!' A cheerful voice burst into the room first. 'Idiot Rosalia, we should have knocked first.' 'How about we try again?'"

"Teacher Mo Mo...won't mind, right? What do you think, Sister Bronya?" Let's go in first.

A stream of figures of various colors filed in, flooding the room and adding to the already crowded and noisy space. "Good evening, everyone..." Mo Mo, still under the covers, sat up when the four arrived, wanting to cry but unable to. Why did the Rebellious Orphans Squad have to appear here at this time? "Hey, Mo Mo, were you asleep? What are you doing lying in bed?" Rosalia asked curiously. "I was planning to sleep if you hadn't come," Mo Mo said tactfully, the implication being that they should hurry up and get married, as she was going to "sleep."

"Then we've come at just the right time, so you won't have to sleep!" However, given Rosalia's comprehension, Mo Mo might have still phrased things too tactfully.

"Rosalia's logic is so strange. Um, Mr. Momo, we didn't hurt you, did we?" Only the most sensible Seele asked with concern. "No... no." Momo tried his best to make his answer seem normal.

"So... what did you need me for?" Rosalia explained, "We were looking for you, Mo Mo, to hang out after we finished eating, but we couldn't find you anywhere." "So we came to you..."

The room's here! Shouldn't the correct option be to give up? Damn it! We'll see.

"Wrong------" Rosalia drew out her words in dissatisfaction, "But even Lilia is still awake."

"Idiot Rosalia, I'm already so tired. If I hadn't already caught up on some sleep, I might have been in trouble any second..."

"Alright, alright, Lilia, just hold on a little longer—I'll take you back now." Rosalia had no choice but to give up. "Lilia, you still need to keep trying!"

"Goodnight, Teacher Mo Mo." Seele nodded to Mo Mo and prepared to leave. "Sister Bronya, what's wrong?"

"I have something to say to Mo Mo. Seele, you and Rosalia go back first," Bronya said gently. Mo Mo suddenly shuddered. Why, of all people, was Bronya so annoying this time? "Okay, Seele understands." Seele had no objections whatsoever, obediently following Rosalia out of the room, and thoughtfully closing the door behind her.

“Bronya, if there’s anything you need to say, you can just say it.” After a moment of silence, Mo Mo spoke, afraid of giving himself away. Bronya wanted to tell Mo Mo that she was very happy that he had arrived at the Anti-Entropy base safely, but she hadn’t had the chance before.

Mo Mo immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought Bronya had seen through me, thank goodness. "That's it." A hint of confusion showed on Bronya's expressionless face. "What's wrong?" "No, no, nothing, I'm just a little taken aback... Well then, Bronya, you should hurry back with Seele and the others. Seele is probably waiting outside, don't keep her waiting."

"You really want Bronya to leave now?" Bronya frowned. "No, well..." The nerves that had just relaxed tightened up again. "Mo Mo, you're acting strangely." Bronya said seriously, "You're hiding something." Her tone was completely certain. "What could I be hiding?" Mo Mo was still struggling. "You're hiding something from under the covers." Bronya said calmly. "!!!!" Mo Mo's heartbeat and breathing stopped for a moment. "It seems Bronya guessed right." Bronya seemed to see through everything.

"Bronya said, don't treat Bronya like a child." "What could be under the covers? Bronya, what are you talking about?" Mo Mo's struggles seemed desperately weak. "Whatever it is, you'll see when you look!" Bronya suddenly stepped forward, grabbing the edge of the blanket, but Mo Mo stopped her wrist just as she was about to pull it off. "Wait! I admit it! I'm used to sleeping naked from the waist down!" A strong will to survive ignited a life-saving thought in Mo Mo's mind. "So you can't look!"

“Yes, class sleep.” Mo Mo nodded. “So, you understand, right, Bronya?” “I see.” Bronya also showed a knowing look. “Bronya understands.” Good… Mo Mo breathed a sigh of relief and released Bronya’s hand. “But Bronya doesn’t believe it!” The moment her wrist was released, Bronya sprang up again, but Mo Mo was faster than she expected and grabbed her wrist again. “It’s true!” “You’re quick, Mo Mo.” Bronya’s eyes narrowed, and her tone changed, “But… you only have two hands, Heavy Bunny.”

The mecha that appeared in an instant completely caught Mo Mo off guard, precisely seizing the opening and forcefully lifting it.

What was hidden was instantly exposed.

104. Hey! I'll smear this all over your face!

A rustling sound of fabric flying filled the room, the blanket billowing in the air like a flag. The instant the heavily armed rabbit appeared and grabbed the blanket, Mo Mo's heart plummeted. A bone-chilling wind chilled him to the bone, freezing his blood. His face was deathly pale, devoid of any color. He had to admit, Bronya was stronger now. In that brief moment, Mo Mo desperately wished it were all just a dream, but reality cruelly shattered his illusions time and time again.

His already stiff legs trembled slightly, but he felt no weight on them, pulling Mo Mo back to reality from his blackout.

Is something missing from the bed? Wait, where's my Kiana? Where did that big Kiana go? How did she suddenly disappear completely?
