I have no regrets about my 2D world!

"Isn't this very clear? Do you think she can recover after you take out the core?" Bai pointed at the wound on the Herrscher's body in surprise.

Mebius slapped his forehead.

Damn, she actually overlooked this.

"By the way, don't even think about transplanting these things from her to other people, it's useless.

Without her core, she's just an ordinary person."

"You mean to say that the core can be given to others?" Mebius raised an eyebrow, noticing the different meaning in the vernacular.

"Of course you can, but are you really at ease handing a weapon that can kill you to a monkey? You have to know that monkeys are not creatures that will listen to your reason." Bai looked at Mebius with interest. He really wanted to know how Mebius would answer.

"Don't worry about that. As long as it's a monkey, it will be a monkey in front of me forever."

How could she not know what Bai meant, but she was not a fool, so of course she would be on guard against anything that could pose a threat to her.

"That would be best. After all, I don't want to see you stuck in this kind of situation."

"Oh, are you concerned about me?" Mebius took a step forward, slightly closer to Bai, with a smile in his eyes.

Bai shook his head slightly, "I just think it's a pity that someone as smart as you died too early."

......

Tsk, what an unromantic guy! She was even thinking about giving him more chances.

Rolling his eyes, Mebius walked out of the operating room.

"Okay, since this body is useless, let's find a chance to get rid of it. It's getting in the way here.

What are you still doing there? Come out, I have something to tell you."

When he reached the door, Mebius stopped and looked back at Bai. When he found that Bai didn't move, he thought that Bai was thinking about something, so he reminded him.

"Wait a minute, I suddenly thought of something."

"what?"

"If I remember correctly, Mebius, you want to have someone fuse certain Herrscher traits to achieve your own goals, right?"

Mebius frowned slightly. Bai could guess that she could accept it, but now that the death penalty had been imposed in this situation, there was no need to ask further. Could it be...

"The Herrschers were originally human, and after losing their cores, they became no different from ordinary people. However, with the Great Collapse, not only the Herrschers were born, but also a creature that was weaker than the Herrschers but far superior to ordinary Honkai beasts.

Because this creature is usually born with the Herrscher, and is also produced by Honkai, it can also be called the Herrscher's companion Honkai beast.

What makes this creature different from the Herrschers is that their abilities are all within themselves, and they won't disappear due to the loss of something."

"You mean..." Mebius' eyes flickered slightly.

"And the most important point is that this organism has something that humans call DNA."

Bai's gaze slowly turned to Mebius, and the smile on his face seemed as tempting as the devil's words to Mebius. If these words were added... the devil himself would be no more than this, right?

"...Where?" Mebius rolled his throat, his eyes burning.

"He should still be in Changkong City or Canghai City now. After all, he was born with the Herrscher. Even if the Herrscher is dead, he shouldn't have gone too far."

"Is it authentic?"

"I can't guarantee its authenticity." Bai spread his hands.

......

The tense atmosphere in the room suddenly returned to normal, and the desire in Mebius' eyes gradually dissipated.

Taking a deep breath, Mebius walked out of the room.

"Come out, I have something to tell you."

Bai shrugged and followed him out of the operating room.

The two returned to the table where they had talked before. Blanca placed a cup of tea in front of each of them, then smiled apologetically at Bai.

"Don't worry, there's no added ingredients this time."

"Thanks, Blanca." Bai smiled slightly, then looked at Mebius.

"Is there anything you can say now?"

Mebius glanced at Blanca who was resting on the side, then shifted his gaze back to Shiro. "Actually, it's nothing. Blanca was originally my assistant helping me with some things, but because of you, Blanca can no longer stay here, so..."

"So you want me to stay here as your assistant?" Bai asked with a strange look on his face.

"Yes, I admire your abilities, and you know Blanca, so I believe you can take over Blanca's job quickly." Mebius nodded.

In fact, even if Bai and Blanca didn't know each other, it would be enough for him to stay here. He might just serve as a test subject occasionally. After all, his special ability made Mebius a little curious.

"Forget it. I really can't live with that kind of 996 and 007 lifestyle."

"What are 996 and 007?"

"A deeply inhumane system."

Mebius didn't understand, but she wasn't about to give up.

"There are many advantages to staying here. I can get firsthand access to valuable research data, and there is ample funding, so I don't have to worry about experimental equipment.

And if you perform well, you can get extra bonuses. Maybe after just one or two times, you can earn enough savings to live on for half your life."

To recruit her, it's nothing more than coercion and inducement. If she is unwilling to do it by coercion, then the only option is inducement.

So many people in the institute came for these conditions, she believed that even Bai would be tempted.

She was not afraid of proposing conditions in vain. As long as he was moved, she would be confident.

"Forget it, I'm not interested in those." Bai shook his head.

It doesn’t matter if you’re not interested in money, she has another trick up her sleeve.

"As long as you stay here, I can give you more opportunities to interact with me." Mebius leaned forward slightly and moved closer to Bai, making a charming expression on his face.

Since he is not interested in money, then the only reason he came here and was willing to help her was for her beauty, right?

Although she disdains to compare herself with others, she is still somewhat confident about her appearance.

However, before Bai could complain about Mebius's narcissism, the door to the laboratory suddenly opened.

"Dr. Mobius, what do you think about the plan I proposed before..." Mei asked while walking and reading a document, which can be said to be three things at once.

But when he walked in and saw the scene inside the laboratory, he was suddenly stunned.

The one opposite Mebius... seems to be Shiro?

Look at Mebius's expression, it seems like he is seducing?

And what did she seem to have heard Mebius say just now?

At once, several questions topped the list of questions that flashed through Mei's mind.

The two people who were arguing noticed Mei's arrival at the same time.

Mebius secretly lamented that Mei came at the wrong time. If she had come a little later, she might have taken Bai down and she wouldn't have to show this attitude in front of Mei. It looked quite embarrassing.

Bai was a little surprised to see Mei coming, and then curled the corners of his mouth.

Oh wow, something interesting is about to happen.

As for the other person in the laboratory, Blanca, who had been watching from the side, quietly retreated to a corner.

I kept muttering to myself.

Can't see me, can't see me...

Chapter 42: Research Progress of the Herrscher

"Mei, you're here. Wait for me for a moment. We'll talk after I finish my work here." Mebius greeted Mei and didn't care.

There are usually no outsiders coming to her laboratory, so it is normal for Mei to be a little surprised when she accidentally sees other people.

But since she saw Mei coming, she put away her seductive expression and put on a normal expression to communicate.

Bai said that if Mobius had just been like that, he might have agreed, but now...

Tsk tsk, the road is narrowing.

"How about giving me a moment to think about it, Dr. Mebius? You can talk to um... Dr. Mei first. I'll go to the side and not disturb you."

"No need. Just sit here. This will give you a good idea of ​​why I want to recruit you. Your knowledge and talents will definitely be fully utilized here. This is an opportunity that others can only ask for."

"Blanca, bring another chair."

"...Yes, Doctor." Blanca lowered her head and sighed.

As expected, she couldn't escape this incident. I just hope they don't involve her.

While Blanca was moving the chair, Mei had already come in front of the two of them and looked at them with a strange expression.

"Dr. Mobius, this is..."

"Don't mind, Mei. Blanca is pregnant, so I'm out of assistants. This guy is called Bai. His knowledge and abilities meet my requirements for an assistant, so I plan to have him join the lab to replace Blanca."

Mei took the chair handed to her by Blanca and looked at Blanca in confusion.

Blanca shook her head, indicating that it was none of her business.

Mei instantly understood the situation.

It should be that Bai wanted to do something here, and then met Mebius and felt it was interesting, so he sneaked in and didn't let Blanca tell Mebius the truth.

In that case, she had no choice but to cooperate. She hoped that Mebius wouldn't be too angry afterwards.

Understanding the development of the situation, Mei sat down and looked at Bai before no longer paying attention to him. She turned to Blanca and smiled;

"Congratulations, Blanca. I believe your future life will be even better."

"Thanks for your kind words, Dr. Mei. You two can chat first. I'll go sort out some things. Maybe... Mr. Bai will need them when he takes over from me."

Seeing that Mei didn't show any sign of anger, Blanca finally felt relieved and made a joke.

Then, without waiting for anyone to respond, he immediately walked aside.

Blanca walked away, and Mei withdrew her attention, covering the table with the document in her hand.

Noticing this little gesture, Mebius chuckled and said, "No need to hide it, Mei. I agree with that proposal. If you have any ideas, just say them here. It will be spread out in the future anyway."

"Agreed?" Mei was a little surprised, but after glancing at Bai who was standing aside, she understood the reason.

Shiro must have said something to Mobius, which made Mobius agree to the idea of ​​using the Herrscher Core to create weapons.

"I understand, but we still need a smart enough weapons scientist or engineer to take charge of this. Dr. Mobius, you should know that I don't have much time."

Unlike Mebius who specializes in the field of biology, Mei is a genius who is no less capable than Mebius, and is involved in many aspects. He quickly learned about things related to Honkai in a short period of time. He usually stays in the laboratory to learn all kinds of knowledge. He is busier than Mebius.

"Don't worry about that. I met someone a while ago who meets this requirement. Besides, Alicia brought him here, so there shouldn't be any problem."

Mebius thought of Velvet, whom Alicia had brought with her, and for a moment he sighed that he had been very lucky recently.

When Blanca was pregnant and about to leave, a genius who was no less talented than Blanca was immediately sent to her. When she needed an engineer to help, she already had a backup candidate.

Of course, she would be happier if Bai could agree to join the lab immediately.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Dr. Mobius, to tell that person."

"Okay, I'll make time to go."

"Well, the next proposal is about deciding the appearance and function of the weapon.

At present, we have not conducted in-depth research on these cores. We can only know their general functions based on the situation of the Herrscher, so we must think carefully about their functions.

Do you have any suggestions, Dr. Mobius?"

After Bai's explanation of the Herrscher's abilities, Mei already had a general idea. For example, she could make a portable item and give it to knowledgeable people to use, so that the core's abilities could be maximized.

The second Herrscher was named the Herrscher of the Void because when the Fire Moth was chasing it, it was discovered that this Herrscher could instantly teleport to other places, and was believed to have used the power of space.

As for the Third Herrscher, the only witness at the moment is Alicia. According to Alicia, the Third Herrscher uses lightning power, so it is temporarily named the Herrscher of Thunder.

The ability of space teleportation can be used to transport items or as a transmission channel, and the ability to control lightning can be used as a mobile energy source.

At least that was Mei's plan before she discovered the functions of the other Herrscher cores.

"I don't have any opinion. You decide." Mebius waved her hand. She never cared about weapons.

Mei nodded, Mebius's reaction was what she expected.
