I was the one who was causing the collapse of the iron.

At the foot of the mountain, after confirming that there were no problems with the protective equipment they were wearing, the two women began to climb the mountain.

Chapter 227: Think of something happy

"Even at such a close distance, the Honkai detection radar still has no numerical response. Is this guy too weak or is he able to hide his strength?"

Halfway up the mountain, Mebius looked down at the watch-shaped detector on his wrist and analyzed the situation to himself.

"If the Blood Count is related to the pollution source of the moon crash, then he is indeed very good at hiding his existence. He has been hiding for more than ten years. But he has been hiding for so long, why did he suddenly expose himself at this time, and in such a high-profile way?"

"Because he has been dormant for long enough, he thinks he is strong enough? However, the target has not shown any hostility towards humans and civilization. He is rational and can communicate. He is very different from the individual called the Ruler of Reason."

"The current information is too little. In fact, we don't even know if Blood Count is the 'Origin'."

Blanca shook her head, not knowing how to answer Mebius' questions.

"Humanity still knows too little about Honkai. I hope this Blood Count can give us a surprise."

Mebius said this, revealing a hint of urgency in his words.

After the first collapse, she obtained a lot of research materials, whether it was the corpses of the Honkai beasts or the remains left after the death of the individual called the Herrscher of Reason.

It can be said that Mobius is the human being in the world today who knows the most about Honkai. It is precisely because of this that she deeply understands what kind of disaster humanity is facing.

Now that the Collapse is coming with great force, if humans want to gain the upper hand, they must not continue to passively wait for the Collapse to come and develop.

They need to find the laws that cause Honkai, understand the nature of Honkai energy, and predict the occurrence of disasters in advance, thereby minimizing the losses.

"Blanca, you are already in love, why are you still thinking of using the honey trap?"

"No, it's just that someone is pursuing me, but I haven't decided whether to accept it yet."

The blue-haired girl said this, then tilted her head with a somewhat melancholy expression on her face.

She was not very old, and looked to be about twenty years old, but she did not look childish at all, and she looked somewhat mature in her white coat.

"It's that guy called Hen, right? He's an okay person, so why do you look down on him? Or are you worried about me because of this?"

"No... I just feel that with such a terrible disaster like Honkai right in front of us, now is not the time to be sentimental. In today's world, love is a luxury. And starting a family and raising children, do I want my children to face such a hopeless and cruel future?"

As Mobius' assistant, Blanka naturally came into contact with a lot of research on Honkai.

Different from Mebius's sense of urgency, the blue-haired girl felt deeply confused when looking at the corpses and the research data.

Questions about the world, questions about oneself, and fear in one’s heart.

"Hey, that's why you need to find a man! Look at you, you're so obsessed with this. Once you experience the joy of being a woman, you won't think like this anymore."

"Dr. Mobius, what are you talking about..."

Blanca seemed a little shy, and only at this moment did she look like a young girl of her age.

"Why should I be embarrassed? I usually solve it myself, otherwise the pressure is just too great. Why don't we do it today? Why don't we just seduce the target directly? I really want to know what kind of being will be born if an ordinary person combines with a Herrscher."

"Didn't Dr. Mobius just say that he would go himself? Why is he asking me to go now? And it's not certain yet that the Blood Count is a Herrscher. Also, reproductive isolation aside, how can this kind of thing be successful in one try?"

Blanca rolled her eyes in annoyance, while Mebius just laughed it off.

"Oh, of course I want to go by myself, but the First Research Institute really can't do without me. I still have a lot of experiments to do. And pregnancy takes up a lot of time. If I have a child, I'm afraid I won't be able to do experiments properly for half a year. But Blanca, if you get pregnant, I will give you paid leave."

"I think what we're talking about has gone a little off topic."

"It's not off topic. Anyway, I am really interested in the Blood Count. It would be great if I could capture him and tie him to the test bench."

Mebius said this with a look of pity on his face.

However, soon, as if she noticed something, the woman's expression became serious.

"Did you feel that Blanca?"

"Yes, it came out of nowhere... I don't know how to describe it, maybe it was a feeling of palpitations?"

Blanca raised her hand to cover her chest, her pretty face turning slightly pale.

"Just as the report says, I feel palpitations, depression, and panic, as if I had encountered a wild beast that was its natural enemy."

There was a bewitching light flashing in his snake-like vertical pupils. Although his face was as pale as Blanca's, Mebius' tone seemed a little excited.

"Spiritual...defense field, it doesn't work."

"Oh, it seems that my judgment was wrong. Perhaps we are really facing a Herrscher."

"Ah... I hope Fire Moth won't deduct my pension."

"Crow's Mouth, why don't we successfully communicate with the Herrscher and establish a connection? Relax, don't be afraid, think more about... happy things? According to my analysis, this doesn't seem to be some kind of mental attack. This should be a simple stance, a field."

"Happy things, happy things..."

Blanca muttered to herself, while Mebius had a wry smile on his face.

She found that she seemed to have nothing to be happy about and her life was a complete mess.

His mother died during childbirth, and he was beaten and scolded by his father since he was a child. He ran away from home when he was nine years old and has been wandering ever since.

What a failure, Mobius. Why are you still alive? You shouldn't be living in this world.

Compared to my mother, it would be better for me to die.

Just when Mebius felt hopeless and Blanca could no longer maintain her composure, a faint singing voice suddenly rang out.

"It's a song. It's the song that the welfare home often sings with the children."

Because the melody was simple, Mebius quickly began to sing along, and as he sang, the depression and fear in his heart began to quickly subside.

Supporting Blanca, who was in a bad condition, Mebius raised his head and then saw the target of his action.

Code name, Blood Count.

The man, with white cloth wrapped all over his body, sat under the tree like a sculpture.

In his arms, he held a pink-haired girl. The girl seemed to be the gathering of all the beauty in the world. Just by looking at her sleeping face, Mebius felt purified.

Chapter 228: Awareness of Dedicating Oneself to Science

The man's code name was Blood Count, but in fact, Mebius did not see any blood-related elements in him.

He sat quietly under the tree, his entire body wrapped in white cloth, not a trace of skin visible.

The singing stopped at some point, like the earth losing its light. The indescribable strange feeling of palpitations once again enveloped Mobius.

Unable to help but look back at Blanca who was standing next to him, Mebius spoke in a trembling voice.

"Are you scared Blanca?"

"I-I don't know."

"Your voice is starting to tremble..."

"You're not much better, Dr. Mobius."

Mebius had a wry smile on her face. The memories that just came to her mind were not a very good experience.

She thought she had forgotten the past and could face it calmly, but when those scenes really appeared in front of her, she seemed particularly vulnerable.

Logically speaking, I shouldn't be so fragile. Have I been affected?

"But why... the mental defense field has no effect?"

"That means this isn't a mental attack."

"But according to the relevant information we have about the Ruler of Reason, there is also a suppression area similar to the domain near the Ruler of Reason. Life forms close to the Ruler of Reason will experience varying degrees of dizziness, which is very similar to our current situation. There are also some special Honkai beasts that will release a kind of interference force against life forms through sound waves."

There was a hint of confusion in Blanca's eyes. The Fire Moth had actually made quite a few achievements in its research on mental power.

Mental power is actually a special kind of energy. Since it is energy, it can naturally be observed and resisted.

Although the latest research results have not been tested on targets at the Herrscher level, they have been tested on the resistance of many Honkai beasts.

Even if the Blood Earl is a Herrscher-level being and the strength of his mental attack far exceeds the capabilities of the instruments, then at least they should be able to observe the data.

The instrument should also respond, instead of nothing like it is now.

But from the time they set foot on the mountain to the time they arrived in front of the target, the detection equipment they carried did not respond at all.

The concentration of Honkai energy has not changed, and the strength of mental power has not changed.

As a scientific researcher, I can accept failure and tolerate the unknown, but I cannot accept the absurdity and unknowability like what is happening now.

"Ms. Mobius is correct. I did not attack you. As for why you are in this state, to put it simply, do you know about electromagnetic interference?"

"I see. Is it because you, as the source, are too powerful?"

Mebius immediately understood the meaning of Xu Nuo's words, and fear and dread flashed in his eyes.

She suddenly realized the irreconcilability between humans and Honkai, because the Herrscher's mere presence would affect the normal survival of humans.

"I have nothing to do with Honkai, and I am not a Herrscher. To you and this planet, I am just an insignificant passerby."

"So, just like that girl called you, you are a god?"

"So do you think I look like a man or a god?"

Without answering Mebius' question, Xu Nuo chuckled and then asked back.

Human? God?

Obviously, neither is the case. In the eyes of Mobius, if one were to find a name to describe the existence before his eyes, there would probably be no word more appropriate than the word "demon".

That’s right, a weird, twisted, indescribable evil!

"I think this sir is more like a human being, because you didn't take anyone's life. You know that your existence will affect insignificant humans like us, so you responded in this way. You are very kind."

Mebius remained silent, but Blanca beside him mustered up the courage to speak.

"Mercy..."

Hearing such praise again, Xu Nuo just sighed softly.

"Mortals do not understand gods, but they wishfully believe that gods are benevolent. Gods are high above us, so how could they care about mortals? If they bless us because of our praise, that would be the best thing."

Blanca seemed a little nervous. She wanted to argue that everything she said came from her heart and she was not trying to be clever.

However, the more she explained, the more mysterious it seemed, and she didn't dare to refute the desire for protection.

The man in front of them is a mysterious and powerful being. It would be great if he could stand on their side and provide protection and blessings to mankind. It is normal to have such thoughts.

"If you really bless us, let alone praise us, we can even build a temple for you, make a golden statue for you, and let Blanca and I serve as your maidens."

Mebius was a little unconvinced, as the woman seemed to speak rather bluntly.

These explicit words made Blanca look a little shy, because due to the coming of Honkai, there have been many strange religions recently.

Fire Moth has already cracked down on many of these religions that promote evil doctrines and cause panic.

Blanca also had some understanding of this and knew very well what jobs the girls who served as priestesses in these religions did.

She secretly pulled at the corner of Lamebius's clothes, but was quickly pushed away by the woman.

But those religions are all fake, and the one in front of me now may at least be the true God.

If I could conceive this so-called god's child...

After all, Blanca had been with Mebius for quite some time, and her way of thinking had gradually been assimilated by him. Dedicating herself to science was not something unacceptable to her.

In fact, after receiving the remains of the Herrscher of Reason, Mobius had already considered using the genes of the Herrscher of Reason to create clones or conduct research on artificial insemination. Since he couldn't find a suitable mother, Mobius planned to be the mother himself.

However, this research was ultimately rejected by the top brass because it was too uncertain and too dangerous. The top brass even threatened that if Mobius messed around, she would not be allowed to conduct research on Honkai energy in the future. This is what made her behave herself.

This is also the reason why, after discovering Xu Nuo, this special individual, Mebius rushed over in person as soon as possible.

In the eyes of this scientific research fanatic, Xu Nuo is a new research direction and breakthrough.

"Why? Do you think I'm lying? My identity and status are no worse than those of some small countries' leaders. The power and influence of the Fire Moth are far beyond your imagination. Let me accompany the Lord God. When the time comes, it will be more prestigious to take me out than a little girl who grew up in an orphanage."

Chapter 229: Is It Too Wild?

"Compared to this little girl who knows nothing, I know more, I am better at serving people, and I am better at pleasing you. For example, if I were here, I would definitely not stop the decision of the Lord God, even if you wanted to kill all of them. So Lord God, are you really not going to consider it?"

The more Mebius spoke, the more excited he became. The woman held one hand across her body, highlighting the rich fruits hidden under her white coat. Seeing that Xu Nuo seemed completely unmoved, she became more and more bold, and the words she said made Blanca at the side unable to help but hold her forehead with her hand.

Although, this is consistent with Dr. Mebius's character, she is not joking, she is serious.

Xu Nuo sat there, watching Mebius' performance with great interest.
