I have no regrets about my 2D world!

This sentence suddenly occurred to Mebius.

I only do what I am interested in, and I have extraordinary abilities...

As if he had thought of something, Mebius looked up suddenly.

But he found Bai holding a bottle of happy water and drinking it with a very happy look on his face. By the way, he turned around and exchanged glances with Klein and the others because she was lost in thought.

Tsk... Never mind, no matter what it is, as long as it doesn't affect me, it doesn't matter what it is. After all... she is also a cold-blooded person.

With a slight smile on his lips, Mebius stood up and stood between Shiro, Klein and the others.

"Do you have anything else to say? If not, you can leave and don't disturb us while we're working."

Bai was stunned for a moment, then said innocently, "Not really. I'm just sitting here and it won't bother you. Besides, I've done you a big favor. Are you really going to kick me out so quickly?"

"You've already affected me." Mobius said lightly, then turned to look at Klein and the others. "Danzhu, if you don't pack your things before leaving get off work today, you won't have to leave work on time this week."

Danzhu, who was pretending to tidy up his things, suddenly paused and looked at Mebius with a smile that was uglier than crying.

"I understand, Dr. Mebius, I will definitely complete it!"

She just exchanged a few glances with Bai Yanshen and communicated with him through her thoughts. How could she be implicated in this?

Now that I’ve been caught slacking off by my boss, if I don’t take it seriously, I’m afraid I’ll have to work overtime for the next week.

But there are so many things, how can she, a newcomer, organize them so quickly?

Wait, if she can’t finish sorting, she has to work overtime, but the others didn’t say anything about their requirements if they couldn’t finish sorting!

Thinking of this, Danzhu turned to look at her good sister Cang Xuan, her eyes full of hope.

Cang Xuan seemed to feel Danzhu's gaze, slowly turned his head to meet Danzhu's eyes, then hesitated for a moment and smiled unconcealedly.

Oh no, it’s over!

Understanding the meaning of the smile, Danzhu's face instantly turned pale, and he weakly picked up the documents on the table again...

Chapter 167 Mei's Speculation

After being kicked out of the laboratory by Mebius for affecting work, Bai did not go there after confirming that there was no problem between Mebius and Prometheus.

Although he did come here for Prometheus and the other two in the beginning, he suddenly thought that there was no need to look for them now. After all, Mei would definitely go back in the evening, and it would not be too late to discuss any problems in the evening.

As for Prometheus, Bai was considering whether to let her live in the courtyard.

It’s not that I’m worried that Prometheus will get into conflict with the other people in the courtyard, but because although the courtyard is inside the Fire Moth, it is not in the central area.

It takes nearly an hour to get to the laboratory. In addition, there are some researchers walking on the road thinking inside the Fire Moth, and the Fire Moth is worried that they may be accidentally injured, so traffic is prohibited inside.

In this situation, if something urgent happened and Prometheus needed to rush to the laboratory in a short time, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to make it in time given her pace.

But if I don’t live in the courtyard... then I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble Hen to help me find a house, after all, there are no extra bedrooms here.

After temporarily forming his thoughts, Bai looked up at the sky.

"It seems a bit late, let's talk about it tomorrow."

……

Dusk fell, and thanks to Prometheus's help, Mei returned home early after a long absence.

After dinner, Mei washed up and sat in the living room in her white pajamas, chatting with Bai.

"Bai, can you tell me about Prometheus?"

"Sure, what do you want to know?"

Want to know what...

Mei stretched out her fingers and scratched her cheek, seeming a little embarrassed.

"Why don't we start with her identity?"

"Emm... Tell me how much you know first."

How long will it take to finish talking about identity?

"Okay." Mei nodded and began to talk about what she discovered today.

"First of all, she shouldn't be the one who should be here right now. This is clear from the knowledge she has and the way she addresses me.

Secondly, she must have something to do with me, because I didn’t notice some of her small details, but she understood them.

Another point is her origin. Prometheus, that name is strange. I took the time to research it, and found that according to Fire Moth's count, there are no more than ten people in the world with that name, and everyone can be traced except her.

Time is limited, and this is all I can investigate at the moment.

So can you tell me about these doubts?"

"Of course." Bai nodded, "First of all, Prometheus is indeed not from the present. She came back from the future because of a special event, and she is your future assistant, so she knows you so well.

Secondly, her name, as you might imagine, has a special meaning and is related to a plan for the future.

As for what the plan is, I think you can guess it from the name."

"The spark of humanity..."

Exhaling slowly, Mei rubbed the sides of her head.

Bai wouldn't lie to her, so Prometheus must be related to some plan with a similar meaning to fire.

If that's the case, then this reveals a lot of information.

First of all, the fact that they were able to design a plan to start a fire is enough to show that the future of mankind has reached a critical juncture of life and death.

And Prometheus is the person chosen by future humans to pass on the fire, or she herself is the fire.

Although they are both fire, their meanings are very different.

The former shows that Prometheus must have carried knowledge and materials sufficient to restart human civilization, which cannot be seen from today's observations, while the latter shows that Prometheus himself is that knowledge or materials.

As the person who passes on the fire, the former should have sufficient safety protection and there is no need to worry too much.

But the latter...as the fire itself, often needs to be sacrificed.

Let’s not talk about who Prometheus is for now. There is a more important question now.

As his future assistant, he must be involved in this "Spark" plan. So... is Prometheus's appearance here an accident?

Could it be that appearing here is a design of my future self, with the purpose of telling my present self some information?

However, according to existing theories, even if time is affected, what happened in the past is already predetermined and cannot be changed. Sending Prometheus back to the past should be of no use.

But I will definitely not make any useless decisions.

Just because current theories cannot explain it doesn’t mean it won’t be possible in the future. Just like the super-standard existence of the Herrscher, perhaps in the future there will appear a Herrscher who can influence time without being affected by scientific paradoxes.

But that's in the future...

"Okay, I understand. I'll have a good chat with Prometheus tomorrow."

"Don't worry too much, Mei. Perhaps Prometheus's appearance is really just an accident."

Accident……

Seeing that there was no trace of worry on Bai's face, Mei suddenly thought of another possibility.

Could this so-called accident have been caused by Bai himself?

Prometheus's appearance was not bad, and she had also heard from Alicia that Bai had a courtyard outside, where some people seemed to live.

Could it be...

"I understand, and I won't let this affect me.

By the way, Bai, where does Prometheus live? "

"I don't know about that either." Bai shook his head, which surprised Mei.

guessed wrong?

"I asked Ai Li to bring them back, so you should ask Ai Li how to arrange it.

But I also plan to ask, if I still haven't found a place to live, then I will ask Hen to help me find one tomorrow."

"Ellie? Since it was Ellie who arranged it, forget it. It's not too late to ask again tomorrow."

Although Alicia is usually lively, if Prometheus was just an outsider, he wouldn't arrange anything too intimate with her.

This also indirectly shows that Prometheus's arrival was really just an accident.

"In that case, then I have no problem. If Bai has nothing else to say, I'll go back and rest."

"Well, go and rest. I'll go back to the house."

After saying good night, they both headed to their respective rooms.

Mei was thinking about the doubts about Prometheus, while Bai was wondering where Prometheus would be tonight?

He hadn't heard that Alicia had found a place for Prometheus to live.

"Speaking of which, Ellie went back to her room after dinner. She wouldn't have brought Prometheus into the room, right?

No, if you want to bring someone, it should be Eden."

Shaking his head to clear the strange thoughts in his mind, Bai pushed open the door, looked at the extra figure in the room, and walked into the room silently.

Okay, now I know where to go...

Chapter 168: The Unexpected Death

The next day, Bai calculated the time and confirmed that Hen had rested, then went to Hen's house and chatted with him for a while.

A few months passed and Hen had resumed his position in the army, but considering that he had to take care of Blanca, he would not take the initiative to go to the front line unless it was necessary.

Now every day I just train new recruits in the team.

Only when Blanca's body has completely recovered will she continue to go to the battlefield.

Blanca has actually almost recovered now. After all, she is an expert in biology and must have taken good care of her body.

After a few months, there would be basically no accidents as long as Blanca was not asked to do physical work.

However, since they had free rest time, they naturally did not report their situation to the Fire Moth.

They chatted for a while, and Hen agreed to help find a place for Prometheus to live. Bai also agreed with him that he would give Grace a special gift when she turned one year old.

……

The little painter lives a stable life in a warm environment protected by his parents, the engineers are busy making their works more perfect, the scientists are arguing endlessly about a plan, the soldiers are still training as usual, and go out to perform some small tasks from time to time. Everything is so peaceful, and everyone is immersed in such a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

If possible, no one would be willing to break this atmosphere, but unfortunately, tomorrow and the unexpected are still coming.

But unlike in the past, this time the accident came quietly.

"Have you heard about the recent news report?"

"There are so many things reported in the news. Which one are you talking about?"

"About that murder."

"Murder? Doesn't that happen every day? There's nothing to pay attention to."

"This time is different. Both the killer and the victim are a little strange."

"Tell me in detail!"

"The murderer was the mayor of one city, and the victim was the mayor of another city!"

"No way? So exciting!

Tell me the reason for this.”

"That's exciting, right? And there's something even more exciting, and that's for reasons I don't even know."

"No, are you kidding me?"

"Hey, don't be angry, I didn't play tricks on you, not only I don't know, no one knows.

I heard that the two had never met in private, so it's impossible for there to be such a big conflict, but one of them was killed."

"Hiss, is that so weird? Why kill people if there's no conflict?"

"Who knows? I heard this matter has alarmed the higher-ups, and they're saying they're going to conduct a thorough investigation. Now, the next mayors of these two cities probably won't be appointed until the results are out."
