I am doing evil in the collapsed world

In the research institute, Mobius was drinking black tea and looking at today's experimental data. When he saw Alicia's figure reflected in the computer glass, he was shocked and almost spilled the black tea in his hand.

137

Chapter 137: Dual cultivation failed, try again.

Mebius: "..."

Without even turning her head, Mebius pretended to be working hard, as if she hoped Alicia couldn't see her, but it was just her thought.

Alicia has found Mebius.

"Hey~, did you miss me~, Dr. Mebius?"

Alicia lay on Mebius's shoulder and rubbed her head against him like a big cat, which made Mebius look helpless.

Mebius sighed, "There you go again."

Alicia: "I brought you some delicious food. These are lollipops I bought from the Far East. They taste amazing."

Alicia took out a small bag from somewhere and put it on Mebius's desk. Then she sat next to Mebius, helped her open a cigarette and put it in Mebius' mouth.

Mebius: "..."

Alicia: "It tastes great, doesn't it? I spent a lot of time choosing this one. By the way, why is Dr. Mebius still wearing that research uniform? Is the skirt I bought you last time not pretty?"

summer:"……"

Mebius's little skirt? Xia had only seen Mebius wearing a dress and a white coat, or just casual trousers. She seemed to rarely wear a skirt.

Mebius nodded calmly, as if responding to Alicia's comment that the dress was ugly.

Alicia: "Then I'll buy you one tomorrow. Dr. Mebius, aren't you happy that I'm back? Why do you look so sad? I haven't been back in the Far East for a month, and I was seriously injured."

Listening to Alicia's words, Mebius' ears moved and he turned his head. "I'll give you a checkup. Come with me."

Even though he seemed to be ignoring it on the surface, when he heard Alicia say that she was injured, Mebius immediately stood up and walked towards the examination room of the First Research Institute.

Alicia followed behind him, saying with a smile that she had checked and applied medicine, but Mebius did not respond.

It was not until Alicia was brought into the examination room that Xia could no longer hear Alicia's voice from outside.

Cang Xuan sneaked around and whispered to Xia: "Didn't you say you were going to the tavern to drink today? Why did you bring back a girl?"

Xia took the potato chips from Cang Xuan's hand, crushed the lollipop in his mouth, and handed the chips to Klein, who was still checking the computer data. Then he said to Cang Xuan: "I met her when I was sending Kevin back to the dormitory. I said hello and found out that she knew Mobius, so I brought him back."

Xia pulled the stick of the lollipop out of her mouth, and while Cang Xuan was looking confused, she casually inserted it into her hair as a hairpin, then walked away with her hands in her pockets.

Cang Xuan was about to get angry, and quickly took the stick off his head, only to find that there was no candy on the stick. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that it was not stuck to his hair.

"Did Hua cook today? Did you leave any food for me?"

"I'm still cooking, and you went out for drinks without eating."

Cang Xuan said angrily after throwing the stick into the trash can.

Xia: "We went to the tavern for drinks, not food. We just had some snacks. We still need a proper dinner. After all, it was Hua who made it. I'll go upstairs first. Klein, don't work overtime today. Give yourself some time to relax."

Klein: "..."

Xia: "Mebius won't care. If he asks, just say it was me who said it. I'm thick-skinned."

Xia is thick-skinned, and Mobius would not nag him for such a trivial matter. Xia has long understood Mobius's character. As long as he is a little thick-skinned, Mobius will be helpless immediately.

I went upstairs to see Hua. She was making chicken soup. The vegetables were almost cooked and covered on the table. After the chicken soup was ready, I could call Mebius and the others to eat.

Seeing Xia going upstairs alone, Hua hid in the kitchen and didn't come out. Her ears were red and she didn't say a word. No one knew what she was thinking.

Xia leaned over and leaned against the glass door of the kitchen. "You've ignored me for several days. I'm not saying we have to practice dual cultivation right now. If you haven't made up your mind, why not just let it go for now? It doesn't matter if I wait for you for a few years or even decades. We have a lot of time."

Originally, Xia thought that it would be good if Hua could cultivate to the seventh level in hundreds or thousands of years. With such a long time, their feelings should have been cultivated to a certain level. But who would have thought that he and Hua would suddenly have a chance to cultivate to the seventh level of soul realm first.

The soul realm nourishes the body and drives the cultivation. In two or three years at most, the body can be brought to the seventh level. Moreover, after the soul realm reaches the seventh level, it is now possible to use bugs to practice dual cultivation and break the seven kills. Xia Cai reminded Hua.

He thought that even if Hua didn't agree, it would be okay to wait a little longer. Who would have thought that Hua would just ignore him. What was this? The senior brother had never taught him what to do if a girl suddenly became like this.

Hua was still turning the spoon in the chicken soup, with her head down like an ostrich, as if she could turn forever. She didn't say a word and Xia didn't know what she was thinking.

"I really don't understand what you young people are thinking."

Xia rolled his eyes. These days Hua either stayed with Mebius or with Cang Xuan Dan Zhu, and pretended to be dead and asleep at night. It was only today that Xia found time to communicate alone.

You can't force it either, after all, dual cultivation isn't just about pleasure. If you really want to have fun, there are red light districts all over the Far East, and you can have fun there.

When practicing dual cultivation, at least the soul power should be combined and operated. It is completely useless to work hard alone.

Hua: "I don't think about anything..."

Xia: "Then think about it carefully. If you can't figure it out, don't forget about it for now. It won't be too late to consider it when you're in your thirties or fifties."

But don't be so awkward anymore. Klein asked Xia yesterday if he and Hua had a conflict, and why Hua hides whenever she sees him.

What could Xia say? Xia thought that risking his life was not just for himself, it would benefit both parties. Why did he seem like he was begging Hua for help?

Hua: "...I, I need to think about it again, and I'll come to a conclusion soon."

Xia: "I'll wait for you for a hundred years at most. Any longer and I'll start forcing myself on you."

Xia was just threatening, after all, forcing someone into having sex doesn't count as dual cultivation.

Hua: "..."

Xia's expression and tone seemed to be saying, "For this little money, I can only sing for one night at most." Hua was still spinning the chicken soup with a spoon.

Xia felt that if she didn't leave, she could really play with the spoon for the rest of her life. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Hua's extremely small voice, as small as a mosquito.

"Tonight...I'll leave the door open for you."

Although she spoke in a very low voice, Hua seemed to have exerted all her strength and didn't even have the courage to look back.

After hearing this, Xia paused and nodded. He knew Hua could see it. After all, Hua's consciousness was completely locked on him. Not to mention his movements, even his breathing could be clearly sensed by Hua.

After leaving the kitchen, Xia touched his chin and felt like he was the scumbag who cheated on Pao and used all kinds of threats and pressure to make the girl sleep with him.

But Xia swore that he really didn't mean that. He just wanted to wait for a few decades.

Who would have thought that Hua would actually leave the door open for her tonight, leaving Xia a little at a loss.

He is still Chu Nan. Well, what should he do for the first time? Should he buy something or go in directly? Should he say something? But he doesn’t know what to say.

Now the pressure came to Xia.

Call Mebius and the others upstairs to eat. Mebius had already examined Alicia and applied some new medicine to her. Xia felt that Alicia could really endure the pain.

Even after taking medicine for such a serious injury, he can still be so active, and you can't tell that he is injured at all when chatting.

They went upstairs to eat and sat at the dining table like a big family. Hua's cooking skills successfully conquered Alicia. Alicia wanted to sleep with Hua tonight, but was rejected by Hua.

After dinner, Alicia wanted to chat with Hua, but Hua was a taciturn person who couldn't say a word. Alicia thought Hua might be hiding something or in a bad mood, so she naturally stuck to Mobius and Mei.

After Hua cleared the dishes on the table, she went back to her room. She only washed the dishes and even forgot to wash the pot. You can imagine how confused she was.

Xia washed the pots in the kitchen and put the chopsticks in order. Only then did she realize how boring it was to clean up the kitchen alone.

But Hua cooks and washes dishes alone in the kitchen every day, silently contributing.

Cang Xuan Dan Zhu went back to his room to play games, and Klein went downstairs to process the data that was not finished today. Klein always worked overtime secretly by herself, even though she didn't get any overtime pay. Maybe she just simply liked this job.

Mei and Alicia went back to their room to rest. After all, Alicia was injured. She was seriously injured and was still running outside. She might have sneaked out of the hospital.

Xia glanced at Mobius, who was frowning and checking information about his back injury on the windowsill. He wanted to go back to his room and wait until midnight to look for Hua.

But standing under the lamp with his hands in his pockets, looking at his shadow so determined in the light, Xia pulled his hand away.

Even my own shadow is so determined, is it appropriate for me, as the master, to be so indecisive?

He's almost 40 years old, and it's too embarrassing that he can be so nervous when facing such a thing for the first time.

Xia took a deep breath, went to the kitchen refrigerator, took out a bottle of sweet water and drank it in gulps.

They say alcohol gives courage to cowards, but drinking so much in the tavern didn't give him courage. Instead, a bottle of cold sweet water made him think, "I'm already here. If I don't, how nervous will I be when I face the senior sister in the future? Damn it!"

Xia walked into Hua's room with great determination and composure, closed the door and locked it.

Silent all night.

……

The next morning, Hua lay in bed looking at the ceiling, not even daring to turn her head. Her face was as red as if it was bleeding. She felt that Xia was trying to trick her, but she had no evidence.

Hua: "..."

The bodies of cultivators are extremely strong. In the demon world, there are even demon cultivators who hold the umbilical cord to fight a desperate battle with the righteous path right after giving birth. It was just the first time, and it didn't affect Hua's daily life at all. She still had to cook the next morning.

It's just that Xia got up a little late today, and Hua didn't avoid Xia like before. Although she still wanted to avoid her, she seemed to force herself to change her mind and slowly began to accommodate Xia.

Mebius: "...Although, I don't understand why you walked out of Hua's room."

Mebius was eating an egg-filled pancake, his eyes as pure as a college student who had not yet graduated, full of curiosity.

Xia pulled up his pants and adjusted his belt. He sat across from Mebius, looking refreshed. He picked up the soy milk maker on the table and poured himself a cup of soy milk. He said earnestly, "Children should not interfere in adult matters."

Mebius: "...I don't understand. Aren't you and Hua angry these days? And when did you start dating Hua? Aren't you pursuing Mei?"

Xia: "This is normal, my friend."

Which real man would marry a wife? I have been learning from my master for twenty years. Whether I can learn how to cultivate immortality is another matter, but I must learn the attitude towards life. Thirteen mistresses are watching me in the demon world.

I'm not very good at learning magic from my master, but I still need to learn the attitude of getting married. Let's not talk about the money, my master has thirteen wives, and I can't be able to get even a fraction of his.

Mebius's hand trembled, and his confused expression made him look even more like a silly roe deer than Alicia's.

However, Hua came out of the kitchen, and Mebius felt embarrassed to talk about this in front of Hua, the little girl, so he just told Xia to remember to talk to Mei.

Of course Xia had to tell Mei about this. He just wanted to have a harem, just like his master. He wasn't a scumbag and wouldn't cheat on young girls or anything like that.

After Hua came out and ate something, she went back to the kitchen to make egg pancakes. There were too many people in the First Research Institute, and their wake-up times were not fixed, so Hua spent most of the day in the kitchen, although Hua did not care about such trivial matters.

The worldly affairs that refine her heart made her prefer this kind of repetitive work where no one disturbed her, and it allowed her to have a deeper control over her soul power. Although it was only a psychological effect, the righteous path was originally idealistic, so Xia could only let Hua work like this.

Mei came out of the room, full of energy. She had a wonderful dream yesterday. She dreamed that she and Xia were walking down the aisle to get married. Although the end was a bit outrageous because she saw the whole thing from a third-person perspective, Mei felt that the girl in the wedding dress and veil must be herself.

"Good morning, Axia is acting weird today, she seems different from before."

Mei sat next to Mebius, stood on tiptoe to pick up the egg-filled pancake from the plate on the table, blew on it to heat it up, and then ate it with big mouthfuls.

Xia: "Yesterday I practiced dual cultivation with Hua."

Xia's first sentence directly hit the point, without even beating around the bush. He spoke the truth and said it bluntly, which made Mebius, who had just taken a sip of soy milk and was about to watch the fun, spit out all the soy milk in his mouth. He choked and the soy milk came out of his nose.

Mebius wiped his mouth with a tissue while watching Mei's expressions and movements. He silently moved his chair back, fearing that they would start fighting and implicate him.

Mei's expression froze, and her originally smiling face slowly turned into a calm one. "Dual...dual cultivation, is that what I was thinking of?"

Xia nodded, "It's the kind you think of."

Mei felt her blood pressure rising, she saw stars, had tinnitus, and her head was buzzing.

Xia: "Although I actually did get the job done, it's a shame that the dual cultivation didn't succeed. Oh, what bad luck."

Mei: "You call this bad luck??? You call this bad luck? You scumbag! You cheated on a girl! You flirted with me yesterday, but tonight you tricked Hua into bed! This time, you should stop being arrogant, impatient, and lustful!"

Mei picked up the fruit knife on the table and wanted to pounce on Xia. Hua heard the noise outside and moved his ears. He hurried out and hugged Mei's waist, and by the way, controlled the fruit knife to prevent Mei from pounce on Xia.

Xia opened his hand, "Let her go, she can't kill me."

Mei took a deep breath, her eyes red. After a long while, she put down the knife and fell silent.

Xia: "Look, you've calmed down now, haven't you? Mei is very smart. Although she got angry at first, if you give her some time, she'll figure it out."

Mei: “Why! Because…”

Mei almost said, "Just because I rejected your seventeenth proposal, you went straight to Hua?"

But when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she suddenly felt that saying this seemed even more outrageous. Come to think of it, the other person proposed to her more than ten times and she didn't agree once. Then he changed the girl to pursue him, and she got angry instead?

But, but, I can't accept it, I can't accept it. Why am I the one who is cheated on, and why am I the one who is wronged?

Hua: “I volunteered, and there’s a reason for that.”

No one understands the power of the Seven Killings Fate better than Hua. After all, both his parents are dead, and all his relatives and friends except Carol are dead, and Xia is almost the same as himself.

Moreover, more than 99% of the people in the city where their middle school was located died. Changkong City, where Xia went to school, and Canghai City, where he went to school. How could it be such a coincidence that the third Honkai outbreak happened to occur in these two cities? Without guessing, Hua could tell that it must be related to his and Xia's fate.

Xia He himself was deeply affected by the fate of the Seven Killers. His family was broken up and he even lost the city where he went to school. If his fate was not broken, no one knew whether the fourth collapse would occur at the Fire Moth headquarters.

Will their new friends, Mebius, Mei, Blanka, Cang Xuan Dan Zhu and Klein encounter various accidents?
