I have no regrets about my 2D world!

Bronya glanced back at him, as if trying to memorize his appearance, but quickly looked away when he noticed.

Watching the figures of several people leaving, Bai turned around and looked at Theresa who was squatting, thinking about something.

Did they... forget something?

Forget it, I won’t remind them for now. Wouldn’t it be interesting when they find out on their own?

Bai raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his figure slowly disappeared.

......

In a slightly cramped room somewhere, a young girl was sitting under the light, staring at the screen in front of her. The screen was the image transmitted by the micro robot she had developed herself.

As the robot continues to move under control, the image on the screen is constantly changing.

After a moment, the appearance of a laboratory appeared on the screen.

A hint of excitement appeared in the girl's eyes, and she controlled the robot to enter carefully, but the picture that came next made her a little confused.

'No one?'

"Wow, you're really good. Have you investigated this deeply?"

"That voice... is right beside me!"

The girl's body suddenly froze, the robot fell to the ground out of control, and the screen fell into darkness.

By the time the girl reacted, a soft body had already leaned on her back.

The girl lowered her head, letting the other party's jaw fall on her shoulder, and quickly thought of a response plan in her mind.

"Wow—this is a sight I've never seen before. You're truly brave. So... the person who's been investigating the fire moths is you, right, [Vilvi]? What a lovely name, and you really live up to it."

"Well, don't be so anxious. You can take your time to think about how to deal with me. Before that, let's just chat casually, okay?"

Chapter 28: The Passion of Vivi

There was some big news about the Fire Moth recently. The person who had been secretly against the Fire Moth was finally caught. It was said that he was caught by a newcomer.

I have to say that the newcomers nowadays are really scary. When you ask them, they are all newbies, and they call the old guys "big boss". But when they make a move, they scare the old guys a lot.

This thing is called Mengxin? !

If that guy was so easy to catch, it wouldn't have given the Fire Moth so much trouble for so long.

But after all, it's a good thing that he was caught. I just haven't heard where the guy who was caught went. I guess he was either executed directly or secretly taken away by the Fire Moth.

After all, being able to last so long against the Fire Moth is considered a genius.

However, little did people know that this genius was currently undergoing "service" that was unimaginable to ordinary people.

Her hands were tied together with a pink ribbon and tied into a beautiful bow by the owner of the ribbon.

She changed out of the plain engineering uniform she was wearing and put on a maid outfit that matched her hair color and was obviously custom-made.

This genius, also known as Wei Erwei, was closing her eyes and letting the lively girl in front of her apply cosmetics on her face.

Maybe it was half an hour, maybe it was half a day, in any case, Weiwei felt that this period of time was more unbearable than the feeling of emptiness she had felt after studying advanced mechanical dynamics in three months.

Fortunately, the girl in front of her seemed to notice that her mood was starting to get a little strange, and she finally stopped after lightly stroking her eyebrows with something.

"Wow~ As expected of me, I can dress anyone up so cutely."

Alicia clapped her hands lightly and looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction.

The cosmetics she usually used were the best ones. After getting this girl who was as beautiful as a porcelain doll, she could no longer bear the urge to see beautiful things born in her hands, so she took out all the cosmetics without hesitation and used her utmost effort to help Wei Erwei put on makeup.

Looking at Wei Liwei, who looked like a dressed-up gift, she felt that she would be in a good mood this week.

"Have you seen my skills, Abai? Do you want... me to help you dress up?" Alicia turned her head and looked at Bai who was sitting there with a slight twitch on his lips.

"If by dressing up you mean putting on a dress and makeup or something, forget it. I'd die of laughter if other people saw me.

Also, shouldn't you have taken her to the Fire Moth Prison? Why did you bring her here?"

Bai didn't know when Alicia had captured Velvet, but judging from the fact that Velvet had already changed into a custom-made maid outfit when she came back, it was probably a few days ago.

And looking at Wei Erwei's almost lifeless look, Bai's eyes also showed some pity.

Usually Mei doesn't like those fancy clothes, and Xier is often shy, which makes it difficult for Alicia to make a move on her. Now she has a rare person to whom she can do whatever she wants. He can imagine how uncomfortable Weiwei has been these days.

"Oh, it's so awful to have such a lovely girl locked up in a cold prison.

And according to my investigation, Weiwei is not a bad person at all."

After capturing Velvi, Alicia's efforts were not in vain. She took her around and asked about her situation.

Although Vivi tried her best to hide her purpose, she was still able to get a lot of information out of her thanks to Alicia's unique ability.

Because the shadow of the Fire Moth can be seen in all the big and small Honkai events around the world, Velvet believes that the Fire Moth is the mastermind behind the Honkai.

With the idea that he is the protagonist, he is determined to defeat the dark force of the Fire Moth.

It's a pity that he fell into Alicia's hands before a thorough investigation was conducted.

However, even if her original intention was good, the impact she had caused to the Fire Moth for so long could still send her to the Fire Moth's prison, allowing her to spend the rest of her life there in peace.

Although Alicia has not been a member of the Fire Moth for a long time, she knows some of the relevant regulations of the Fire Moth. After learning about Velvet's situation, she naturally does not want Velvet to go to prison.

So he used his little privilege, promised those people that Velvet would never go against the Fire Moth again, and then brought Velvet to his side.

However, since she is not living in the dormitory prepared by the Fire Moth now, she can only be brought back temporarily.

"So what are you going to do with her?

Let me be clear, there are no vacancies here."

"Then, how about letting her live with me?" Alicia blinked.

"...Do you think she's willing?"

Bai motioned for Alicia to turn around.

Weiwei just stared at Alicia without saying a word, but the meaning in her eyes was very clear.

She was going to be sent to the Fire Moth prison today and shot as a criminal... forget it. Anyway, she didn't want to be alone with Alicia anymore.

Every day she was forced to go shopping, change clothes, and dress up like a doll, without any time to do anything else. She believed that even in prison it would not be so uncomfortable!

Noticing Wei Erwei's determined gaze, Alicia sighed slightly: "Well, well, it seems I can only find you another place to live."

Before Weiwei could breathe a sigh of relief, Alicia spoke again: "But since I brought you in, then I will take you to visit the Fire Moth for the rest of the time."

"...Can I choose someone else, like this gentleman?" Weiwei forced a smile and looked at Bai.

She finally realized that Bai was the one who really had the final say here. As long as Bai spoke, even Alicia had to obey.

However, asking for help still meant that she was thinking too much.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to go. What's so good about the Fire Moth?" Bai waved his hand.

Even though she didn't care much about her appearance, Wei Erwei was still somewhat confident about her looks. But now Bai's disgusted attitude...

Velvet glanced at Alicia...

Okay, she understood.

But it is still impossible to make her accept her fate.

"Okay, I can agree to let you join the Fire Moth, but in return you have to give me the right to be free. At least... don't bother me all day shopping, changing clothes, or anything like that."

"I didn't ask you to join, but since you're willing, then... I'll reluctantly agree, right?"

"Yes, I agreed to it myself, so can you let me go now?" Wei Liwei stood up. She had untied the ribbon that bound her hands without her knowing.

Alicia suddenly grabbed her hand and smiled slyly.

"How can you join the Fire Moth without taking a good look around? Next, I, the Fire Moth know-it-all, will show you around."

"you..."

"Alright, alright, first stop: the legendary and mysterious First Research Institute. Shall we go?"

After waving goodbye to Bai, Alysia happily took Weiwei's hand and walked away.

Chapter 29: Meeting of Different Geniuses

The legendary research institute, formerly known as Mei's research institute, first became famous because it had research equipment that most research institutes had not been able to obtain since its establishment.

Later, within just a few days of its establishment, it incorporated the already famous Möbius Institute, which made its reputation spread rapidly within the Fire Moth.

It is said that experimenters from other research institutes have visited it. Except for the fact that there are not many people there, the level of equipment and research resources are far superior to those of other research institutes. Some people even protested to the Fire Moth because of this.

But no matter how many protests there are, they will be rejected with the reason that they were all bought with their own money and have nothing to do with the Fire Moth. If you have the ability, you can buy it too.

As soon as the news came out, many people wanted to join regardless of Mebius's reputation.

After all, no scientific researcher can refuse such good equipment and so many resources.

Therefore, after this period of development, this research institute has shown a trend of becoming more and more prosperous, and has been secretly given the reputation of the first research institute.

And its owner, Mei, also spread along with this research institute.

He reached out and took out a card from somewhere, scanned it at the verification system at the entrance of the institute, and the door of the institute opened.

Alicia took Vivi's hand and walked inside.

Some people noticed and greeted Alicia with a smile, but most were busy with their own research.

Alicia would respond one by one and introduce each person to Wilvi beside her.

"Look, Velvet, this is the legendary research institute. It's a pity that Mei and Mebius are probably busy right now, otherwise I could help you get to know each other."

Mei and Mebius have a very regular schedule. Normally, Mei will conduct research with other researchers and learn at the same time. She will only go to a separate laboratory when she needs to focus on experiments.

Mebius, on the contrary, would stay alone in the laboratory most of the time, and would only come out when he needed some materials or had other matters.

There was no sign of the two of them in the research institute at the moment, which was enough to prove that they were both busy with some experiments, and Alicia would generally not disturb them at this time.

"The legendary research institute...it really is quite good."

Wei Erwei's eyes flickered as she looked at the scene inside the research institute, her eyes full of desire.

Of course, not to the people inside, but to the various equipment.

She thought she was a genius. Even if she was not given anything, she could make firearms in a city by rubbing her hands, and some of them were even better than military ones. But this could not deny the fact that she was poor.

She had earned a lot of money by traveling around as a 'magician', but it was basically spent during the time she fought against the Fire Moth.

Even if Alicia didn't find her, she would probably take a break for a while and try to find some funds.

She also had some knowledge of the equipment in the research institute. The price of almost every one of them was so high that even if she were to dismantle herself and sell herself, she might not be able to buy it.

If she had these things when fighting against the Fire Moth, she would definitely be confident that she could reach the top of the Fire Moth's wanted list in a short period of time.

But now that she knows that the Fire Moth is not the one causing trouble and has joined...

Wait, now that she has joined, does that mean she can also use these devices?

"Allysia, now that I'm here, I should be able to use these things too, right?"

"Are you talking about these devices?" Alicia noticed Velvet's somewhat burning gaze.

"If it's limited to this research institute, it should be possible."

"Only for this research institute?" Wei Erwei paused, looking around with a strange look in her eyes. "Could it be that these people are all here for these devices?"

"I don't know either, but some equipment is indeed only available in this institute..." Just as Alicia and Wilvi were explaining the special features of this institute, they suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure.

"Hey, Mobius is out. I'll take you to meet him. As long as Mobius agrees, you can join us here."

Having said that, without waiting for Wei Liwei's response, he directly pulled her arm and walked over quickly.

"Hey hey hey...wait a minute..."

Mebius was wearing a white clean-sheet suit with surgical tools in the pockets on both sides, as if he had just stepped off the operating table.

After walking out the door, he looked around, as if looking for someone. After confirming that the person he was looking for was not there, he turned around and wanted to go back.

only...

"Hey~ Mobius, don't leave in such a hurry."

In the blink of an eye, two figures appeared in front of Mebius.
