The Collapse Begins in Changkong City

late at night

Möbius's home

Mebius stretched and, after thinking about the cause and effect, finally remembered what had happened before.

Möbius said defiantly, "Little mouse, I order you to come back right now. I really miss you." As she spoke, her voice softened, knowing it was all in vain.

Mebius opened the door, went downstairs, and opened the refrigerator that Wang Tang had specially prepared.

He rummaged through the contents and said, "Hmm, this is wine? Perfect, I can try it." Möbius grabbed 20 bottles from the refrigerator in one go.

Unknown warehouse

After playing the game for three days and three nights without sleep, Wang Tang finally beat the game.

"System, I didn't expect the game you gave me to be so fun."

"Hmph, anything produced by the system is bound to be top-notch, so it's only natural that it's fun."

"You're even bragging now." Seeing the already dark sky, "System, I've been playing for hours, why is it so dark?"

"Cough cough cough, host, you've been up for three days and three nights."

Wang Tang was shocked to hear this. "Even if Mebius only rejected me because of his pride back then, I feel like I'm doomed now."

Thinking of this, Wang Tang stood up and teleported back to the Möbius Laboratory, but did not find Möbius or Klein.

"That's right, it's already past midnight, how could the two of them still be here?"

After Wang Tang teleported directly to Möbius's house, she cautiously walked into the living room, only to find Möbius drinking alcohol continuously.

Seeing her like this, Wang Tang felt a strange sense of guilt.

But when Mebius opened another bottle of wine to drink, Wang Tang stopped him with her hand.

"Stop drinking, you can't drink anymore."

Möbius, slightly drunk, looked at Wang Tang in front of him. "I never thought I'd see you after getting drunk."

Wang Tang said gently, "I'm back. I'm not your fantasy."

Mebius burped. "Don't joke around. After all, only hallucinations would say they're not hallucinations."

Mebius: "Fine, even if you're fake, I'm still going to say it."

"Little mouse, I shouldn't have been so stubborn that day. I was just joking with you, but I didn't expect you to take it seriously."

"You didn't even give me a chance to introduce you before you left." Möbius became increasingly aggrieved as he spoke, tears welling up in his eyes.

Seeing Möbius like this, Wang Tang felt guilty for her impulsive decision to leave.

Wang Tang embraced Mebius and whispered, "I'm sorry, I was too impulsive before, it was my fault."

Mebius, who was still in a daze, was sobered up a lot because of Wang Tang's hug, and she quietly felt the boy's embrace.

Mebius asked cautiously, "Is it really you?"

Hearing Mebius's tone, as if he was afraid I would run away, I said gently, "It's me, I'm back." After saying that, Wang Tang hugged me even tighter.

After the two embraced for a long time, Möbius spoke up, "Little mouse, how long are you going to keep hugging me like this? My shoulders are getting a little sore." Möbius pinched Wang Tang's waist in protest.

Wang Tang quickly let go of Möbius's arms and scratched her head. "Sorry, I was just trying to comfort you."

Mebius chuckled at Wang Tang's comical expression. "I'm not blaming you."

Möbius stood up and looked at Wang Tang. "What have you been doing these past few days? Why did you have no signal when I called you so many times?" As he spoke, Möbius's eyes reddened again.

Wang Tang rubbed her forehead. "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Möbius scoffed, "What do you think?"

Wang Tang felt a chill run down her spine. "I...I lost track of time these past few days because I was playing games. When I finally realized it, it was already now."

Upon hearing that I had only played the game for three days, Mebius suddenly relaxed.

Seeing the increasingly awkward atmosphere, Wang Tang forcibly changed the subject, "Möbius, let's go on a trip in a few days."

Mebius blushed. "Okay, but you're not allowed to leave without a word."

Wang Tang hugged Mebius in a princess carry and said gently, "I promise you, but you should go and rest now."

With one step, Wang Tang was already on Möbius's bed. After gently placing Möbius on the bed, when Wang Tang tried to pull her hand away, Möbius grabbed it tightly.

"Please don't leave."

"Okay," Wang Tang said, then lay down next to Mebius. After seeing that Wang Tang hadn't left, Mebius finally closed his eyes.

The next day at noon

Möbius awoke from his dream. "I didn't expect sleeping with a lab rat to be so comfortable." Möbius touched the person next to him, but didn't find anyone else, and his mind instantly cleared.

Looking at the empty room, Möbius couldn't help but wonder, "Was what happened yesterday just a dream?"

"Impossible!" Mebius exclaimed anxiously as he got out of bed and grabbed a random piece of clothing to put on.

Mebius didn't bother to check whose clothes they were; he just started looking for Wang Tang.

The person was not found in the kitchen, the laboratory, or the living room.

After searching in vain, Mebius sat down on the sofa, feeling helpless, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see the wine bottle from yesterday.

"The fact that these things are gone proves that he was here yesterday, but where is he now?" Möbius was still thinking about this.

The door opened with a "click," but the sound was too quiet to alert Möbius.

Wang Tang entered the house and saw Mebius sitting alone on the sofa, deep in thought.

"Möbius, why are you awake so early?"

Hearing the voice calling him, Möbius looked in the direction from which the voice came, puzzled.

She saw a man carrying large and small bags of food looking at her.

Mebius said angrily, "Where did you go just now?"

Wang Tang "?"

"I just went to buy groceries. Didn't I send you a message?"

Upon hearing this news, Mebius was completely petrified.

Möbius snapped out of her daze, her cheeks flushing slightly, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I...I didn't see the message." She inwardly regretted her rashness.

But he noticed Wang Tang was looking at him with a strange expression. "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something strange about me?"

“Mébius, the clothes you’re wearing look like mine.” Wang Tang said, comparing them to the clothes she was wearing.

Upon hearing this, Mebius looked at his own clothes and realized that he had been in such a hurry that he had mistaken Wang Tang's clothes for his own.

Seeing Möbius blush, Wang Tang smiled and said, "You look so different from how you usually do."

"So, little white mouse, do you prefer me as I am now or as I usually am?" Möbius said with a wicked grin.
