Their commission was suspicious.

As the only male among the fairy Ellie's lovers, Chen Luo was flattered, but... Ellie is truly fearless.

Mebius sat next to Chen Luo, his hand almost crushing the table.

After the final performance, someone brought a chair for Mebius.

As all the lights came on, Mebius finally got off Chen Luo and sat down in the chair next to him.

After seeing Mebius and Chen Luo separate, the fairy Ellie flew over.

Why didn't Alicia stop her? Because after the closing program ended, Alicia, as the host, went back on stage.

Mebius beside him was filled with murderous intent, while the fairy Ellie sitting on Chen Luo's shoulder was overjoyed.

Mebius didn't really care which girls Chen Luo chatted with, because Chen Luo often helped others and inevitably had to interact with girls, so conversations were unavoidable.

Möbius wasn't actually that bothered. As long as they didn't do anything too outrageous in front of him, and Chen Luo could provide Möbius with enough psychological comfort when he needed it, Möbius didn't care.

But Ellie's actions felt like she was attacking face-to-face.

Can Mebius tolerate this?

"Human, Mebius's eyes are terrifying. She knows how close we are. Is she going to beat me up?"

"Sigh, Mebius looks so fierce, unlike me. I only feel sorry for humans." Fairy Ellie's legs dangled from Chen Luo's shoulders, swaying gently.

He doesn't seem to be afraid of Mebius at all.

"Will Mebius beat you up? I'm not sure, but Alicia definitely will." Chen Luo mumbled, eating the lollipop that the fairy Alicia had stuffed into his mouth.

"Huh?" Fairy Airi asked, puzzled.

"Take a look at the stage," Chen Luo said.

The fairy Ellie looked up at the stage, where Elishia, who was giving her final thanks, was practically crushing the microphone in her hand.

As Alicia read the thank-you message from the cue card, she glared at the fairy Ali with murderous intent.

Okay, okay, I've only been on stage for two minutes, and you've already pulled off such a thrilling stunt backstage, haven't you?

You just wait!

Fairy Ellie shuddered and then quickly hugged Chen Luo's neck.

Humans, save us!

Chapter 1951 A Chaotic Performance of Armed Puppet Shows

"I'm so sorry, my fairy Alice has caused you trouble." Alice hugged Alice in her arms, gently stroking Alice's hair as she apologized to Chen Luo.

The fairy Alice, who was being held in Alice's arms, was trembling all the time.

If Alicia could get a little angry, then the fairy Alicia wouldn't be so afraid. But sometimes, you either die in silence or explode in silence!

In many ways, silence and indifference are the most terrifying behaviors! The way to hurt someone the most is through silence.

The fact that Alicia can manage her facial expressions so well right now means she's definitely holding back something big.

"Uh, it's nothing, I don't really care." Looking at the pleading gaze of the fairy Ellie, Chen Luo braced himself and gave a rather neutral answer despite the indifferent look in Mebius's eyes.

After all, you can't exactly say something like, "Your doll is amazing, I love it," can you?

The entire event proceeded smoothly without any unexpected incidents, and the performances were quite entertaining.

Simplicity is the essence of life, and Chen Luo still quite likes this kind of gala.

Next, it was time for the members of the Fire Moth to leave, because the second half of the night was for the armed puppets' party.

Although the puppets have gained so-called freedom, they still need to live. It's said that on the Mu Continent, where there are even more armed puppets, there are areas specifically for their maintenance.

Although Armed Dolls no longer need to resist the Honkai, even outside of direct combat, they still have advantages over humans in certain aspects, such as basic abilities like photographic memory, abundant stamina, and tirelessness.

However, due to the laws of freedom, the personalities of armed dolls tend to become more unconventional, making them unsuitable for overly important positions.

But because of its unconventional nature, the latter half of tonight's party, featuring armed puppets, is likely to be quite interesting.

If you ask how crazy these armed puppets can get when they go berserk, you can only say they're no less insane than a cow cat.

Black and white cats, especially tuxedo cats, tend to be a bit eccentric. While other cats may occasionally need deworming, tuxedo cats may occasionally need exorcism.

Good news: Performances featuring armed puppets are not prohibited, but it is not recommended for humans to watch them.

Bad news: Except for Chen Luo.

Just as Chen Luo was about to get up and leave, he was pulled back to his seat by the armed puppet, Red Kite Wings.

Despite the fairy Ellie's persistent pleas, Alicia finally allowed Ellie to stay at the party. After all, everyone was an armed doll, so what was wrong with joining in the fun?

The first performance was sword swallowing.

"No, you guys really swallow it?" Chen Luo, sitting in the audience, could even hear the grinding sound of the armed mascot's teeth hitting steel as it gave its presentation.

The second performance was fire-breathing.

That's nothing special, since the Crimson Kite Wings can breathe fire.

The third performance was eating noodles upside down.

The fourth performance was breaking a large stone on the chest.

The fifth performance was catching a bullet barehanded.

To this, Chen Luo could only say... if these things were all magic tricks, then they could be called amazing skills! But if they were all real, without any fakery, then they could only be called impressive skills!

……

“These armed puppets are really fun,” Chen Luo said.

"The party's over?" Mebius asked, somewhat surprised to see Chen Luo return.

"Well, how should I put it? Halfway through the party, after just six performances, they started fighting, and I took advantage of the chaos to slip away. I also brought back the fairy Ellie along with me," Chen Luo said, holding up Ellie in his hand.

"A fight broke out?"

"Hmm, ask her for the specific reason." Chen Luo patted the fairy Ellie's little head.

The others in the Möbius laboratory also seemed quite curious about this unexpected situation.

The Möbius Laboratory is not only home to Möbius. In addition to Cangxuan Danzhu, who was originally an assistant, and Klein, who was a true assistant, the current Möbius Laboratory also houses Su, Kevin, May, Velvi, Aponia, Eden, Pado, Alicia, and others.

Although Möbius had some reservations about these people coming to his laboratory for a gathering, he couldn't stop them from coming.

Perhaps because of Chen Luo, the relationship between the 13 Yingjie, who were not originally very friendly, became even more friendly.

At least the relationship between Mebius and Sue was never particularly good to begin with.

Although both are researchers and doctors, their philosophies differ.

For example, in the relationship between Paddo and Möbius, although Paddo was simply afraid of Möbius and Möbius was rather indifferent to Paddo, their relationship could not really be described as close.

Fortunately, everyone has some degree of friendship with Chen Luo, so the Möbius Lab was chosen as the meeting place for the small gathering after the big party.

Even if Mebius was reluctant, out of respect for Chen Luo, he wouldn't grab them by the collar and throw them out of the lab one by one.

"This has nothing to do with me. It's just that they weren't satisfied with me being the only one sitting on a human's lap to watch the show, so they decided to take turns sharing this rare time, and I agreed."

"As for the fight that broke out later because of the dispute over the spoils, that's not my problem." Fairy Ellie shook her head.

"So, for my own safety, I ran. As for what interesting things the armed puppets will do next, I'll just have to check the surveillance footage later. At least they won't blow up the party... probably," Chen Luo said.

"I always feel like you're very popular with the armed dolls, Lolo. Do you have any secrets? Teach me!" Alicia smiled and pulled the fairy Ali, who was hugging Chen Luo's clothes, into her own arms before asking for his secrets.

"There's no secret, it's just a matter of talent. By the way, why isn't Qian Jie here? Didn't you invite him?" Chen Luo glanced at the members in the lounge but didn't see Qian Jie.

Why didn't you ask Desdovia and Kosmo first?

"What's there to ask? They're probably off somewhere discussing tomorrow's mission, though their real intentions might be something else entirely," Chen Luo laughed.

It's easy to understand why Kosmo and Desdobia didn't meet in the lab; perhaps they went off to enjoy some alone time.

The relationship between two people may not progress so quickly, but budding feelings need more time alone together to be sparked.

Originally, Daisy Dovia should have died in the Eighth Herrscher incident, but she survived until now because of Chen Luo's meddling.

As a psychic fusion warrior, she possesses the highly destructive potential of telekinesis, making Desdovia one of the very few psychic fusion warriors who would accompany her on missions.

And the one paired with Desdobia is Kosmo.

Because of the drawbacks of the immature fusion surgery in the early stages, Kosmos looks quite different from ordinary people. And now, ordinary people in the outside world also have some unspoken malice and fear towards fusion warriors. Therefore, Desdobia, who looks no different from ordinary people, is needed to mediate between them and serve as the team member responsible for communicating with ordinary people.

They already had a certain emotional foundation, and now they're fighting side by side... Isn't it normal for them to go off on their own to discuss the details of tomorrow's battle?

Gretchen and Hen, the two fusion warriors, naturally went to a family dinner.

So the only problem now is the Thousand Tribulations.

What did that kid go about?

Why aren't you coming to the team building event?

Be careful, it might affect your performance evaluation!

“We did invite Qianjie, but didn’t you see that he didn’t even go to the New Year’s Eve party? It seems he went to drink with one of his new adjutants.”

"Huh? Qianjie has friends like that?"

“Oh, they can hardly be called friends. That adjutant seems to have some grudge against Qian Jie, or perhaps some high-ranking figure dislikes Qian Jie and wants to cause him trouble. In any case, that adjutant is currently imprisoned in the Fire Moth prison for failing to assassinate Qian Jie. But Qian Jie seems quite interested in this person,” Alicia explained.

Qianjie was so interested that he came to Alicia, asking her to persuade the higher-ups of the Fire Moth to approve the appointment of this lieutenant named Imer as their lieutenant.

"I see... As long as Qianjie is happy. Anyway, with Qianjie's strength, as long as the opponent isn't some kind of fusion warrior, there's no way they can beat Qianjie. Sakura should know this all too well..."

However, Sakura wasn't at the Möbius Lab; she had gone home to be with her younger sister, so she couldn't comment on the matter.

"But it's worth mentioning that Qianjie's wine was taken from yours," Alicia reminded her.

Since obtaining the Adventurer's Certificate, it has become even easier for Chen Luo to produce all sorts of strange and unusual wines; he can simply claim they are gifts from daily quests.

As for why Chen Luo was able to produce this kind of wine before?

Don't ask, the answer is that it was brought with me when I came to this world from outer space!

“…This kid! Forget it. Let’s continue chatting.” Chen Luo chose a seat near Möbius and sat down.

"It's nice to get together, it's rare to do so. The only problem is that the lounge in the Möbius Labs seems a bit small..." Alicia sighed.

"If you think it's too small, then don't disturb my experiments here," Möbius sneered.

“Then let’s build a place specifically for gatherings in the Moth of Fire. I’ll pay for it.” Eden held a golden goblet, seemingly a little drunk.

"Oh, really?"

"Of course, I'm glad you're happy, Ellie," Eden said with a doting smile.

"Can I choose a name for it?"

"of course can."

“Then I’ll take care of arranging the venue,” Mei said.

"Great! Now we'll have a place to rest." Alicia said happily.

“Speaking of which, it’s been almost a year since Lolo joined the Fire Moth, hasn’t it? Isn’t she 18 yet? Your year is a bit long.” Danzhu suddenly remembered something.

Your year and my year seem different, don't they?

"Birthday... Let's celebrate after we successfully defeat the Honkai, since different worlds have different calendars. Enough talk, cheers!" Chen Luo raised his glass and changed the subject.

"Cheers! Wait, Chen Luo, why is there milk tea in your cup? If you can't drink it, go to the table with the armed mascots!"

"I'm still a child!"

"...You said that more than half a year ago. Do you want your senior sister to teach you how to be a prostitute?" Danzhu's small hand lifted Chen Luo's chin.

“Sure, but… Mebius doesn’t seem to agree.” Chen Luo cautiously pointed behind Danzhu.

"!!!" Danzhu, who was a little dazed just now because he had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, sobered up instantly!

"Danju, you know what I want to say, right?" Mebius said coldly.

"100 copies of the lab safety manual, due tomorrow." Danzhu silently shed two lines of tears.

Chapter 1952 As long as it's alive, even if it's a god, I dare to mess with it!

"Here, this is your Huanlong, and your Wangcai. As for Danshu... she left on her own." Jing Yuan handed a card to Chen Luo, while Wangcai, whom Jing Yuan mentioned, followed Jing Yuan into the bar and jumped onto Chen Luo's lap.
