There's no way around it; he's destined to be the villain.

What is a mere bishop? How could he let such a lovely little Gretchen cry in front of him!

He gently grasped Gretchen's calf; it was so light that he could hold it completely with one hand. He removed the cotton socks, revealing a layer of pure white pantyhose underneath. The girl's little toes wiggled up and down, seemingly eagerly anticipating Xia Yuan's massage.

"Xia, Brother Xia Yuan, this is Gretchen's first time..." (A band-aid was applied to her wound)

Ms. Gretchen's cheeks flushed, and small water droplets gradually welled up from her burning body. She clenched her fists and placed them near her mouth, her slightly narrowed eyes rippling with a certain emotion.

"Okay, okay, I...I'll be gentle."

"Brother Xia Yuan, Gretchen is wearing white today~ Do you like it?"

The girl's other small hand slightly lifted the hem of her dress. Xia Yuan didn't dare to answer; he was already sweating profusely.

He could vaguely hear various voices behind him, and he dared not move his gaze away from the little feet, especially since little Gretchen's sitting position on the ground was quite precarious. If it weren't for the gray trash can next to her blocking his view, he would have been in trouble.

He's probably in grave danger by now.

"Little Gretchen, you can't do that when there are strangers around." He earnestly lectured the girl in front of him.

“But Brother Xia Yuan, you’re not a stranger. Okay, Gretchen understands…” He nodded in satisfaction. Little Gretchen was much more obedient than little Ellie, but would that really be the case?

Chapter 681 The Mouse Trap!

Soon, the well-behaved little Greta added:

"I understand, Brother Xia Yuan. From now on, Gretchen will only wear this for you when we're out alone and there are no strangers around. Brother Xia Yuan, do you prefer the pure white one, or the blue and white striped one?"

Children speak without thinking, and he decided to take back what he had just said.

"Even if there are no strangers, you can't! Cough cough... Now stand up and see if you can walk?" To ease the awkwardness, Xia Yuan took off the outermost layer of cotton socks for the girl and said.

"can!"

Gretchen raised her little hand and became very eager, showing no sign of wanting to cry. But would Gretchen, who liked to pretend to be the prey, really let go of Xia Yuan, who was practically in her grasp? The answer was obvious.

(One lost their footing and slipped.)

As a result, Gretchen, who had just stood up, lost her balance and fell straight into Xia Yuan's arms.

"Gresh can't stand up again. He needs a kiss from Brother Xia Yuan to stand up again." Seeing that the crowd around him was gathering, it felt like he could be tied up and handed over to the Valkyrie at any moment.

Now, there's no time to worry about anything else.

"Sorry, sorry, my sister always likes to make these kinds of jokes. She just twisted her leg by accident. Please leave now."

"But....."

Little Gretchen pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something more.

"No buts, be good, listen to Brother Xia Yuan!" Xia Yuan quickly interrupted the girl's spellcasting, not wanting Little Gresh to continue. His smile was a little stiff as he carried Little Gresh on his back and forcefully rushed out of the crowd.

Later...

He might really have to stay in the confinement cell of Destiny for the rest of his life. He just got home from Destiny, and he can't be packed up and sent back by the kind citizens. The location of Houmu Supermarket is not too far from the Golden Courtyard where little Gretchen lives.

Is anyone there?

Upon arriving at the courtyard, the main gate was wide open.

The surroundings were very quiet, and it seemed that little Gretchen had sneaked out without saying hello. After a while, he heard a series of hurried footsteps coming from nearby.

"Sir, are you here to have a medical check-up with Klein?"

Following the sound, Xia Yuan looked down and saw Little Klein holding a syringe several times thicker than herself. Xia Yuan instinctively pulled his foot back, not out of fear, but because who knew what would happen if he were pricked by that syringe filled with green liquid.

"Thank you for your kindness, Klein, but I'm just here to see little Gretchen off. She twisted her ankle outside."

She raised her little head and squinted as she looked at it.

It looks like the dark circles under her eyes have gotten much worse, which is very likely because Dr. Mebius made Klein work overtime again.

"Then please come with me to the infirmary. This is an area that Dr. Mebius specially built in the courtyard for everyone's physical and mental well-being."

"Klein, you look very tired. Would you like to rest for a bit?"

Xia Yuan believed that the one who needed rest the most was Little Klein herself. This wasn't how you used an armored puppet. "Thank you for your kindness, but please don't worry about me."

After saying that, Klein used a syringe to prick her little tail.

"Phew... I feel much better. Would you like to have an injection too? It can relieve physical fatigue to some extent."

"No, no need, let's go to the infirmary first."

Little Greta, perched on his back, listened intently. Xia Yuan seemed terrified of needles; perhaps this element could be added to the comic, except it would be Xia Yuan giving Aunt Bronya the injection...

dong dong dong-

Led by little Klein, they soon carried little Gretsch to the infirmary. However, Gretsch did not open the door immediately, but instead listened carefully to the sounds inside.

"What is Klein doing?"

Little Gretchen on his back answered quickly, "I know, Brother Xia Yuan. This is a room trap set by Aunt Mebius. If you hear a hissing sound, it will be transmitted into Aunt Mebius's laboratory through the mechanism pipes set up by Aunt Wilvi."

"What if another hero accidentally fell in?"

"Aunt Mebius would personally escort them to their rooms, and they didn't have to walk. Every time, Gretchen felt like she was on a slide, which was a lot of fun. If you have time, Brother Xia Yuan, you can try it too."

Yingjie was released once he went in, but anyone else who accidentally went in would become Dr. Mebius's experimental subject. This is clearly a lab rat trap!

After Klein confirmed that there were no hissing sounds in the infirmary, she tiptoed to open the door. On the right side of the infirmary, there were thirteen beds of different styles, which looked to be very well made.

Especially the bed carved with purple crystal flowers; if Little Ellie saw it, she probably wouldn't want to get off the bed for a whole month.

"Guest, we have arrived at the infirmary. If you are also ill, you can come with Gretsch to the bed on the right to rest. I will give you a full check-up."

Klein pointed to the bed.

"......"

He wasn't sick at all; he was perfectly healthy. He just needed to take some supplements. However, what intrigued him was the area to the left of the infirmary that appeared to be locked.

"Little Klein, what's that sealed-off area on the left for?"

"Oh, that's where Dr. Mebius sometimes makes potions. If I encounter any difficult cases that I can't handle, I'll tell the doctor so she can take over. Also, the doctor's mood has been quite unpredictable lately. For your safety, please don't disturb her experiments."

"Okay, okay."

He suppressed his curiosity deep inside, and Shan Shan withdrew her wandering little hands, quickly placing Gretchen on the picture-perfect bed.

"Little Gretchen, be good, stay here and rest for a while, okay? Brother Xia Yuan still has things to do."

"Brother Xia Yuan, will you come to visit me after you finish your work?" Little Gresh looked on with anticipation, and of course he couldn't let the girl down.

"Of course I'll come when I'm done with my work." (Pats head)

After saying goodbye to Little Gretsch and Klein, as he was preparing to leave the Golden Garden, the bustling streets outside did not appear. Instead, he felt an indescribable sense of weightlessness. It wasn't until darkness deprived him of his senses that he remembered Little Gretsch's advice.

Chapter 682 You must serve me to my satisfaction~

Always knock before opening the door!

You can only go in after you hear no more hissing sounds from inside. This is a security trap with an idea provided by Dr. Möbius and blueprints designed by Vilvie. It will automatically teleport any captured mice to Dr. Möbius's laboratory.

He had been so focused on buying food for A-Quan and Xiao-Ai-Li that he had overlooked this most important thing.

hiss--

He gradually regained his vision from the darkness only when he felt his cheek being licked by some strange little tongue.

"Hey, little lab rat who accidentally fell in, wake up!"

Dr. Möbius's playful yet childish voice came from beside me.

"here it is?"

He tried to reach out his hands, only to find that his body was bound hand and foot without his knowledge.

Both feet were bound to the experimental table with tight gray leather straps, while a green-haired girl in a white lab coat was examining the white mouse that had just been delivered to her.

Her long, dark green hair cascaded over her shoulders, exuding a faint fragrance that was both alluring and somewhat dangerous.

Her green, vertical pupils stared intently at the man who had walked right into her trap.

The girl's small mouth was slightly open, her forked tongue occasionally darting out. Her exquisitely beautiful face was filled with an unusual charm and a touch of madness, yet it didn't feel out of place at all, as if she were born this way...

As Xia Yuan stared at the other person, Dr. Möbius was also staring straight at him with his vertical pupils.

"Wait, little white mouse, you look familiar. I feel like I've seen you somewhere before. Hmm... You're a guest who came from afar at Alicia's invitation, and you're also my benefactor who helped me escape the paradise of the past and come to the real world."

It seems that the situation is not as bad as it appeared.

At least Dr. Mebius remembered him, and it seemed that the other party was in a good mood for the time being, so he might not eat the newly acquired white mouse so soon. He decided to try to communicate with him first.

“Well, dear Dr. Möbius, it’s so good that you remember me.”

"I only accidentally triggered the mechanism in the room because I didn't hear the hissing sound when I brought little Greta back. I have important things to do later, so could you please let me go?"

"Release them? That won't do."

She untied the leather straps binding Xia Yuan's legs, and Dr. Mebius used her small hands to forcefully pull at his trouser legs until they were completely separated, creating a clearing, before she finally stopped.

Dr. Möbius climbed onto the lab table, leaned close to him, and shook his head.

"After all, you're a guest brought by Alicia, but I haven't been able to find Alicia lately, nor can I contact her. But every time I clean out the closet, there's always a bunch of cabbages that I can't finish eating. You know, snakes are carnivorous animals, and they specifically eat delicate little mice like you who walk into their trap. I'm almost driven to the point of becoming a vegetarian because of her."

Dr. Mebius muttered to himself, his tone revealing his helplessness towards Alicia.

"......"

Eating vegetarian food is actually a good thing, but he dared not continue to provoke the snake at this time.

But suddenly, Dr. Möbius's tone changed, "Since we can't find Alicia, and you, our guest, have walked right into our trap, we've decided to vent our anger on you. Listen to that powerful heartbeat, so captivating, don't you think? My dear little guinea pig benefactor~"

Her fingertips teasingly lifted Xia Yuan's coat.

Thump thump—

"My dear little mouse, you seem very nervous? I can hear your heart pounding strongly in your chest. Am I really that frightening and nerve-wracking to you?"

With the girl's face so close, she could only remain silent in the face of Dr. Möbius's aggressive questioning.

Just now...

Dr. Möbius suffered cardiac arrest when he said he would pin the blame on Ellie for the bad things she did.

"Little white mouse, tell me, what are you afraid of about me? Look at me, what can I do with my tiny body? Let alone hurt you, I need something to stand on to pick up a book."

As if she hadn't spoken to anyone in a long time, the girl muttered something to herself.

But to his surprise, Dr. Möbius actually took the initiative to untie the leather straps binding his hands. "Won't you feel less scared now? But dear little mouse, you still need to do one thing for me before I can let you leave here."

He suddenly felt less afraid; the snake was just cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

"What is it? Let's get this straight: if you want me to send messages to other people and trick them into coming here to be guinea pigs, then I'd rather not go out!" He would never succumb to Snake's threats.

"What's the point of me raising so many mice? They just take up space in my lab."

Dr. Möbius rolled his eyes at Xia Yuan, then took off his white lab coat and draped it over one side of the lab table. He turned his back to Xia Yuan, lazily lay down at the other end of the lab table, and rested his head on his arm.

"Little lab rat, Alicia mentioned that your massage technique is very good. If you can satisfy me, I'll let you go, how about that?"

Looking at Dr. Mebius's slender waist, so thin that it could be wrapped around with one hand, his lips became a little dry, as if he wanted to shake off the distracting thoughts in his mind. He preferred mature women like Mei and Bronya.

Rejecting childish aesthetics starts with him.

"Okay, it's a deal, no take-backs allowed."

He rolled up his sleeves and gently placed his hands on the other person's back. The skin was icy cold, unlike the body temperature a normal person should have. Dr. Mebius's body structure had likely changed after fusing with Honkai Beast factors.

When you place your hands on the other person's waist and push them up and down, it feels soft and elastic.

"Little mouse, use a little more force, I'm starting to feel it, it's warm and cozy, but it's just not strong enough. The force I used when I fought with Qianjie was just right. That man actually managed to find a job outside, society is really tolerant these days... Little mouse, please use the same force as Qianjie to carry me a few times."

How could you fight Qian Jie and still have the right amount of strength?

That wasn't just the right amount of force; he was almost burned to ashes! So Dr. Möbius deliberately provoked Zed to fight him in order to ward off the cold?!

Chapter 683 Paralyzed the Snake

If he had half the strength of Brother Jie, would he still be trapped here?

Seeing that the other party had stopped, Dr. Mebius said unhappily, "Little lab rat, why did you stop? Are you even capable? This kind of strength can't satisfy me~ Or are you planning to abandon Alicia and stay here with me forever?"

He instinctively clenched his fists, which seemed to harden.

Just kidding, how could he not be able to do it? Of course, he couldn't achieve the power of a thousand tribulations in a short time (a lifetime), but he could use techniques to make up for the lack of power.
