I am the former civilized hero.

If he was not careful, the whole game would be lost. Playing against a being far superior to humans, even with the help of Mei and others, Ryan still felt a little tired, and his head full of thoughts seemed to be about to explode.

"You're overthinking again. Don't you trust my judgment?" With the sound of high heels, Mobius walked towards the night wind and threw a can of coffee. "And why do you always like to run to the deck? Is it so attractive to blow the wind at an altitude of 20,000 meters? Did you learn this from that brat Kosmo?"

Wait a minute, if anyone wants to learn, it should be Kosmo who should learn from me.

There were too many questions at once, and Ryan, who took the coffee, didn't know where to start answering. What was even more amazing was that as his blood pressure rose, the thoughts in his mind suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Why are you staring at me? If you don't drink it, it will get cold." Mebius came to the railing and put his chest on it.

"You two are really alike, you specialize in interrupting other people's thoughts."

"Like who?"

"Alicia, it's the same treatment for low blood pressure."

"Shut up, who looks like her!" Mobius rolled his eyes at the other party and held down his hair. "Forget it, since I beat her once, I won't hold you accountable for your random comparison."

How come you only beat Alicia once? ? ?

Ryan was puzzled. He casually looked at Mebius. She was still wearing a white coat and a black silk skirt. Her heavy chest was resting on the railing, full of intelligence and maturity.

Eh, that's not right, she seems to look a little more mature?

Because Mebius had died several times, she had previously recovered to the appearance of a girl in her early twenties.

"Haha, you finally found it, didn't you?" Mobius smiled smugly, as if he had come here just for this matter. "It's hard to become younger, but it's quite easy to become mature. I have specially developed a cell aging drug... Ouch!"

Snapped.

There was a crisp sound, which caused a wave of flesh. Mebius covered his buttocks and almost jumped out of the battleship. He looked back with gritted teeth.

"Why did you hit me?"

"She has important research work to do, but she wastes time on such meaningless things. Shouldn't she be beaten?" Ryan rubbed his fingers, savoring the touch just now. With his intelligence, he instantly knew that it was Weiwei who sold her out.

On second thought, he felt touched again. This was also a way for women to dress up to please themselves. So he took a step forward and gently hugged the angry Mebius.

"You psychopath, don't hug me."

"Okay, my dear Aunt Mebius." Ryan exerted a little force, making the plump body struggling in his arms move smaller and smaller, until only symbolic resistance remained.

Mebius buried his head in Ryan's chest and breathed greedily: "You just hit me, and now you're hugging me. Do you need me to prescribe some psychiatric medication for you?"

"When did I hit you?"

"just now!"

"That's a reward for you for researching the essence of the mutated Honkai beast so quickly. No need to thank me. This is what I should do as the commander-in-chief." Ryan said shamelessly and moved his palm downwards.

Pop, pop, pop.

The slight crisp sound soon blended into the night breeze, but Mebius in his arms did not resist. He just clamped his long legs together and gently shook his body like a female snake that had just ended hibernation, and his cold skin gradually warmed up.

XP is indeed as weird as his personality, and it makes my sadistic soul start to burn.

Ryan licked his lips, a little undecided. Just as he was wondering whether he should control himself a little, he heard a voice as soft as mud ringing in his ears.

"Just now, Prometheus was inputting data into the artificial body. In twenty minutes, the Hyperion was only capable of command and navigation..."

The green bangs blocked the face, and only the slightly red face could be seen through the hair, and the pair of snake eyes filled with desire. The naked desire was not blocked even by the hardness of a dead duck.

The sun really does rise from the west, so this level of stubbornness can be ignored.

Ryan was stunned for a moment and wanted to ask, "Are you finally willing to admit defeat?", but at the critical moment, his emotional intelligence exploded and he swallowed it down.

Don’t worry about it at this time, silence is better than words.

......

"Where is Dr. Mobius? Such an important artificial life experiment is not here?"

In the research area in the middle of the ship, Mei put her hands in her pockets and looked at Klein in front of her with confusion. Next to her was a huge glass jar with a female body floating in the green liquid with bubbles.

She was about eleven or twelve years old, with short gray hair, blood-red eyes that emitted a faint glow, and fair and delicate skin, as exquisite as a doll.

A large number of cables are connected all around, and immeasurable amounts of data are being entered, which is equivalent to duplicating the central database.

"Well, the experiment is done. Dr. Mebius can come later." Klein was speechless for a moment, and hurried to the operating table. "Please look, this is a verification machine. It confirms that there is a possibility of life between humans and machines, which is what we call artificial life. It uses relevant information about armed dolls..."

Klein kept talking about how the armed puppet plan was not successful because the relevant resources were transferred to Vilvi to complete the "Genesis" research. Mebius was recycling waste and selected some sub-projects.

Why is she so unreliable? Doesn't she know the importance of Prometheus?

Mei felt a little unhappy and looked up subconsciously. She saw a human body lying on the operating table. The human body was operated on by a large number of mechanical prostheses and bionic bodies, but they did not look very sophisticated.

It’s good that you know how to save supplies.

Mei's mood instantly improved. She walked over and took a closer look. As an accomplished scientist, she could tell the truth at a glance.

"It's very rough, but has some reference value. Can it be awakened?"

"Since they can only hack into firewalls below level III, and the personality system also has flaws, the doctor locked the system and prepared to throw it into the warehouse."

"It's a waste of resources. Find a way to activate it, or use it to help." Mei's mood was like riding a roller coaster. Mebius was still a spendthrift woman. When would she learn to save money?

An experimental subject was not worthy of wasting her time, and after a brief interlude, she turned her attention to the body in the glass jar.

This is the highest achievement of human technology. It is an artificial life that she, Mobius, and Velvi have spent a lot of time and countless resources to cultivate. It is related to at least five key projects.

If successful, Prometheus will be the best manager for mankind to rebuild civilization. If she fails, she will be even more important and will be directly related to the fate of the next era.

Based on the theory of Honkai Will proposed by Ryan, Mei conducted further research. Since the most powerful feature of the Cocoon of the End is its targeting and flexibility, why not use another consciousness to control or interfere with it?

Even if it just becomes a robot that follows a program and does things step by step, the difficulty will be much easier.

She glanced at the countdown on the wall. There were only five minutes left to enter all the data. At this time, the door of the laboratory opened, and Mei turned back subconsciously.

"Mebius...why you guys?"

It was Eden and Ying who came in. They were not surprised to see Mei. Eden nodded gracefully and said, "I also want to witness the birth of a new life. Perhaps this is the first newborn on Earth in the new era, or it may be the last life born in the old era. Such a meaningful event, of course I have to come and see it."

Eden is still so romantic.

Mei was stunned for a moment. As a scientist, she only cared about data. The meaning behind it was worthless, but she did not deny the romance of Eden.

"It does make sense when you put it that way, Ying. Are you here to witness a new life as well?"

"I don't have the artistic talent that Eden has, but Su just sent me information that both of you are not here." Ying looked around with a confused expression, "Why is Dr. Mobius not here? This must be her project."

Mebius and Ryan? Oh, that's interesting.

"Who knows where these two people have gone. Don't worry. The data entry is complete. Prometheus will soon be able to take over the ship's control system and find them in a second. Report anything to me."

Sakura always felt that Dr. Mei's smile was a little evil, and her intuition was that something was wrong, but as a person who followed rules, she chose to obey orders.

Just as she was reporting, the lights on the top of the laboratory suddenly went out. Ying subconsciously closed her mouth. After another second, the lights came back on and the sounds of various instruments starting up became noisy.

As everyone watched, the green liquid in the glass jar was quickly drained, the thick cable was unplugged, and the girl in the jar fell to the ground.

She still had her eyes open, but the light in her red eyes was more obvious, filled with curiosity. She took a good look at the real world, then raised her hands, clasped her index fingers together and then spread them apart, feeling the physiological reaction called touch.

A huge amount of data passed through the brain. The collapse energy was like an invisible tentacle connecting the space and regaining control of the central database. Then the consciousness went to another server at the bottom of Haiyuan City, and finally spread out.

Honkai energy is data. Wherever there is data, there is her presence. Prometheus was originally an energy computer created by Mei herself, and now it just has a body that can act in the real world.

She took a step forward under the gaze, grabbed a white coat and put it on, came in front of Mei, and imitated the posture in the database, performing a textbook kneeling salute.

"Hello, Dr. Mei."

"Well, how do you feel, Prometheus?" Mei asked calmly. She already knew the result, unlike Sakura who was amazed, or Eden who had shining eyes.

"The touch of reality is strange, and there is an emotion called 'disappointment'." Prometheus' tone gradually slowed down, simulating the voice of disappointment.

“Do you think reality is boring?”

"No, because when they were born, they didn't see their father and mother. This is the instinct of living things."

The degree of completion is very high, and he is born with such obscure emotions.

Mei's eyes lit up. She was afraid that she had created a Herrscher-like existence with her own hands, so she spent a lot of time teaching Prometheus.

As for who the father and mother are, it is also very simple. This body was created by Mebius, so in a sense, she is the mother. She has been monitoring the Fire Moth for so long, so the father is of course Ryan.

Machines are not stubborn, and it is good enough that they can understand ethics.

"So that's why you chose the appearance of a little girl?" Eden interrupted. If she was too mature, it would be a bit weird to say words like father and mother.

Prometheus turned his head and looked at this elegant and kind woman, and countless data flashed through his mind in a millisecond.

"No, it's because my father told me that he is a lolita complex, so I specifically chose this appearance."

Chapter 7 Sakura Kiss (K)

What? Ryan is a lolita fan???

Not to mention Eden who asked the question, even the calmest Mei was shocked. What does it mean to say something shocking? She had imagined countless answers, but she never thought that Prometheus would say this.

I take back what I said before. She still needs to continue learning. Her emotional intelligence is almost as low as that of a newborn baby. How can she say it so easily?

Eden felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and subconsciously smiled elegantly and politely: "Prometheus, don't talk about this kind of thing casually."

"Miss Eden, no, according to ethics, I should call you aunt. What is meant by lying is covering up the truth? Just like you are extremely shocked inside now, but your smile is still full of kindness?"

This question confused Eden and Sakura. On the one hand, they found Prometheus's confused look very interesting, but on the other hand, they were shocked.

"Ryan is actually a lolita complex? It doesn't seem like it. Doesn't he dislike Hua's Shenzhou tablet?"

The two looked at each other and decisively started the team communication.

"Well, I also noticed that his gaze always changes a little when I wear low-cut clothes. One time, I was sitting side by side with Aponya, and he was obviously measuring something."

"Really? Why didn't I notice?"

"Ying, you are too slow. You don't think Ryan is a gentleman."

"How is that possible? He has big plans."

The two men obviously knew Ryan very well. Mei wanted to laugh as she watched from the side, but she also felt that it was time to end this farce since she wanted to take Prometheus away for further experiments.

She was about to have Prometheus search for Ryan's whereabouts when the door of the laboratory opened again.

"You two are finally back."

It was Ryan and Mebius who came in. They showed no signs of being in a hurry, and Sakura even examined them immediately. Apart from seeing some loose threads on the inside of Mebius' thigh, she didn't see anything unusual.

Oh, and Mebius's expression seemed a little smug, as if he wanted to say something but was holding it back, giving off a look of happiness and pain.

Ying saw this and took a step forward, "Where have you two been?"
