"Perhaps." Little Möbius's eyes narrowed slightly, his brows furrowed, as if he were pondering something. His gaze slowly descended, like a bottomless lake, revealing a hint of wariness.

Chen Yuan's attitude made her suspicious, but at the same time, a warmth flowed into her heart like a gentle stream, making her feel a little fondness for this stranger.

Little Möbius lowered her head gently, her delicate face appearing even more pitiful, and murmured softly, "You really are a freak, in a way."

“In this world, few people are willing to lend me a helping hand, not even those so-called companions and friends.” Möbius’s voice gradually lowered.

"However, if we must talk about the word 'monster,' I'm afraid I myself am not normal." A bitter smile appeared on Little Möbius's lips, his self-deprecation evident.

“From the moment I was born, I was destined to bear a heavy sin—because my birth took my mother’s life.”

“From that time on, the people around me looked at me with fear and disgust. They regarded me as an ominous thing and avoided me as if I were a plague.”

Recalling his past experiences, Möbius's body trembled slightly. "Before that man went mad, life wasn't exactly wonderful, but at least we could manage."

“However, since that terrible day came… everything has changed completely.” At this point, Möbius suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with despair.

"That's obviously because you're too much of a genius!" Chen Yuan curled his lips slightly. Although his face, which was originally adorned with a bright smile, remained unchanged, a fleeting, almost imperceptible look of pity flashed in his eyes.

Then she added softly, "If I were as intelligent as you, I'd probably wake up laughing in my dreams."

"Hmph!" Little Möbius snorted coldly and walked straight ahead without looking back. A short while later, they arrived at a large courtyard by the roadside. "This...is my home."

The courtyard looked quite grand, but when Chen Yuan looked closer, he couldn't help but frown slightly. From the outside, the house was indeed a fine house.

The problem is that the surrounding environment is absolutely terrible. The garden in the yard seems to have been forgotten by the world for a long time. Weeds grow rampant and have almost taken over the entire garden.

The flowers that should have bloomed here have long since vanished, replaced by desolation and decay. As Little Mébius stepped through the gate, Chen Yuan felt the scene was increasingly bizarre and strange.

It turned out that this yard not only had a garden overgrown with weeds, but also a garage that looked particularly messy. Several cars were parked haphazardly in the garage, and these cars all looked quite old, some of them covered in rust.

The old door looked as if it had been subjected to countless violent impacts and collisions, its surface covered with a dense array of pits of varying sizes and depths.

These craters, like menacing mouths, tell the story of the violence that once took place here. Some are as big as a fist, deeply sunken.

Some marks resembled shallow pebble marks, scattered across various corners of the door panel. The entire facade looked dilapidated, as if it might fall apart at any moment.

The petite Möbius walked slowly to the dilapidated door, raised her small hand, and gently knocked. The knocking sounded particularly crisp in the quiet atmosphere.

Not long after, a series of slow, heavy footsteps approached from afar. Then, with a dull thud, the weathered door slowly opened.

A middle-aged man with a full beard appeared in the doorway. His eyes were bloodshot, glazed, and cloudy, as if he had just woken up from a hangover. He reeked of alcohol, a smell that was nauseating.

"Mébius, why are you only coming back now?" The man's voice was deep and hoarse, filled with obvious dissatisfaction and anger. He glared at the little girl in front of him, his brows furrowed deeply.

Möbius stared expressionlessly at the strange yet familiar man before him, his eyes revealing no emotion whatsoever. He simply replied, "I was delayed on the road due to some matters."

However, the man was clearly not satisfied with Möbius's explanation. His already gloomy face instantly became even more unsightly, and the veins on his forehead bulged like writhing earthworms.

Suddenly, he took a step forward, stretched out his thick arm, and grabbed Möbius's collar tightly. "Get back here, you useless piece of trash!"

The man roared furiously, spitting everywhere. At the same time, he shook little Mébius's thin body violently, as if he wanted to vent all the anger in his heart on her.

Little Mebius's petite body was tightly gripped by the burly man, her delicate face expressionless, as if she weren't the one being held captive.

However, upon closer inspection, one can see that she lowered her head slightly, deliberately avoiding the other person's eyes, which were burning with raging anger.

At this moment, Chen Yuan, hidden within Little Mébius's body, was witnessing everything that was happening through her eyes. Seeing this, Chen Yuan was completely stunned.

Although he knew about Möbius's childhood, he never expected him to go this far. A nameless rage welled up within him, and he wanted nothing more than to rush out and teach this despicable fellow a lesson.

Just as Chen Yuan was about to burst out of Little Mebius's body, Little Mebius suddenly made a new move.

Little Möbius slowly extended her small hand and gently placed it on the man's thick arm. Then, in a slow but exceptionally firm tone, she said, "Let go. I'll only say it once."

Upon hearing this, the man was taken aback for a moment, then burst into a deafening laugh. After laughing, he glared fiercely at Mébius and roared at him.

"Let go? You think I'd listen to you? Hahahaha! How ridiculous! You're nothing but a disgusting monster. Do you expect me to be polite to you?"

Faced with the man's mockery and insults, Möbius, who had been keeping his head down, finally raised it. At that moment, his gaze, as cold and piercing as thousand-year-old ice, shot straight at the man.

At the same time, the originally deep voice became crisp, and carried a hint of coldness, "I am not a monster! On the contrary, you are the real monster, a complete madman!"

The man stared wide-eyed at little Mébius, utterly astonished, completely unprepared for the child to dare defy him. For a moment, his hand unconsciously loosened its grip slightly.

But after only a moment's hesitation, a nameless rage surged within him, causing the man to tighten his grip on Möbius and lift him up abruptly.

"You bitch! How dare you fight back? I'll kill you today!!" The man was furious, his ferocious and twisted face coupled with his thunderous roar sending chills down one's spine.

However, faced with such a horrifying scene, Möbius remained unfazed. Her delicate face showed no fear or panic, and the man's vicious words had no effect on her, as if they were just passing by.

At this point, the man was completely consumed by rage and began to frantically shake the little Mébius in his hand, attempting to force the other party to submit to his tyranny through this brutal method.

But no matter how hard he tried, Möbius remained motionless like a statue, not even blinking.

"You useless piece of trash! Why are you still alive? If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have died!" the man roared hysterically, every word filled with deep hatred.

These words assaulted Mébius's ears like a storm, but she remained unmoved, like a detached bystander.

"All this disaster is your fault!" the man roared, raising his fist high and smashing it down toward Möbius's head.

At this critical moment, Chen Yuan, who had been silently watching the scene from the side, felt a sudden tightness in his chest, and his heart jumped into his throat.

"Let her go!" Chen Yuan roared, his voice booming, as he burst forth from the petite body of Little Mebius. In an instant, he transformed into a dazzling beam of light, standing between Little Mebius and the man.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Yuan raised his iron fist high without hesitation, unleashing a devastating force that smashed straight toward the man's head.

This punch was like a meteorite falling from the sky, incredibly powerful. Accompanied by a roar, "Ora!!!" Under such a terrifying blow, the man was sent flying backwards from the doorway like a kite with a broken string.

He crashed straight into the spacious living room. With a loud bang, the man fell heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Suffering such a severe blow, the man who had been in a frenzy and with a ferocious expression instantly lost the ability to move. His previous rage was now replaced by endless pain.

He tried in vain to get up from the ground, but his body felt as if it were being pressed down by a mountain, and he couldn't move an inch.

Upon witnessing this, Möbius was slightly taken aback at first, then slowly straightened up. She parted her lips slightly and said softly, "Thank you."

Her clear eyes were fixed on Chen Yuan. "Although I don't need your protection, I am sincerely grateful for your help this time."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan shook his head slightly and replied, "There's no need to say such things. I just can't stand people who have lost their minds."

Immediately afterward, Chen Yuan's gaze sharpened like a sword as he began to scrutinize the man lying motionless on the ground before him. The latter's twisted and deformed, devilishly ugly posture filled Chen Yuan with disgust, and his stomach churned uncontrollably.

Little Mébius stood quietly to one side, her delicate face showing no emotion whatsoever, as if everything happening around her had nothing to do with her.
