In the end, I could only put this doubt aside for the time being. After all, no matter what, Klein, as an assistant and secretary, was really useful.

Chapter 12: Their respective lives

Mebius went to the meeting room first.

After waiting for a few minutes, several people came hurriedly over. The one in the lead looked pale, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

"Boss..." He had just shouted these two words when he was interrupted by Mebius's action.

"Take a look." Mebius threw a file bag in front of them with a snap, then crossed his arms and looked at them leisurely.

Several people looked at each other, and they could see the confusion and fear in each other's eyes. Only the leader had more cold sweat on his forehead.

He picked up the file bag tremblingly. It was very light and there was probably nothing inside. After opening it, there was a videotape inside.

After seeing this thing, the man fell to his knees with a thud, as if his muscles were suddenly pulled.

"I know you all have your own ideas in mind and think I know nothing. I'm just too lazy to care about the trivial things you guys do. But if it affects my experiment, that's another matter." Mebius stared at the guy kneeling on the ground, her cold tone revealing her bad mood.

"Turn yourself in, or be diagnosed as suicide. Choose one for yourself. And for the rest of you, remember, the snake is always watching you." After saying this, Mebius no longer paid attention to the expressions of the others and walked out of the meeting room.

A few minutes later, the distraught former company executive drove to the police station.

"Doctor, Miss Alicia just called." Klein came to greet him as soon as he returned to his office.

Upon hearing this, Mebius's face froze, and he immediately asked in a somewhat impatient tone, "Why did that guy call?"

"Ms. Alicia asked when you'll be home tonight," Klein said.

Mebius's eyes flickered.

"Klein." Mebius suddenly called Klein's name.

"Eh? What's up, Doctor?"

"You have to work overtime tonight for an experiment," Mebius said, "just reply to her like this."

"I understand, but, Doctor, wouldn't it be a bad idea to do this..." Klein nodded, hesitating to speak.

"What's wrong with that?" Mebius curled his lips.

Just like he had a conflict with Holhaiya, Mebius also felt that he and the pink-haired girl Alicia were incompatible.

"Doctor, you'd better listen to what I say."

"Okay, okay, go ahead."

"Actually, Miss Alicia is already on her way here."

As soon as Klein finished speaking, Mebius felt as if someone had stepped on his tail: "Klein, why didn't you say so earlier!"

But before Mebius could come up with a solution, a lively voice floated in from outside the door.

"Hmm, I knew you were in the office, Mebius~?" Alicia leaned half of her body in from outside the office.

Compared to the childhood Alishia, the current Alishia has grown up a lot, both in height and chest. Not only is it much bigger than when she was a child, it is also much bigger than Xilian.

If Xilian and Alicia go out together now, others will definitely think that Alicia is the older sister and Xilian is the younger sister.

Of course, what remains unchanged is Alicia's lovely and beautiful face.

"Alicia, aren't you traveling around the world?" Mebius asked with a stern face as he looked at Alicia who walked into the office.

"Yes, Ai Li, I'm a very famous travel photography anchor now. It's just that I missed you, Mebius, so I couldn't wait to come back~?" Ai Lishia clasped her hands together and placed them on the side of her cheek, blinking her big, watery eyes. Her cute appearance made Klein beside her stunned.

Since Mebius founded the World Serpent Company, Alicia and Xing have found what they like.

Alicia became a host. She started out as a game host and later became a travel photography host. With her unique charm, she became very popular in the host world and is a top-tier host.

As for the little raccoon Xing, she is curious about everything and has no fixed job. She has worked in jobs that are completely unrelated to each other, such as museum director, wilderness survival program guest, amusement park operations manager, receptionist of a large hotel chain, etc.

As for now, she is forming a band, but she is only enthusiastic for a short time and estimates that this band will not last long.

Listening to Alicia's ambiguous words, even Mebius, who had been with her for a long time and knew her well, still couldn't adapt.

While Mebius was worrying about how to deal with Alicia, on the other side, in a Chinese-style garden, Lady Quetzalcoatl was enjoying herself quite a bit.

As a life created by Ruan Mei, Hol Haiya naturally has the right to act coquettishly to Ruan Mei, not to mention that she, Hol Haiya, is now an important part of the plan of the great Ms. Ruan Mei, and has just provided help to Ms. Ruan Mei's adopted daughter.

At this time, after dinner, Miss Quetzalcoatl was sitting next to Ruan Mei, lying in Ruan Mei's arms, her furry head resting on Ruan Mei's white thighs, and the two soft cloud-like wings above her head trembled, showing Miss Quetzalcoatl's happy mood.

Ruan Mei did not reject Hol Haiya's intimate behavior. How should she put it? This was probably also part of the research?

The birth of Holhaiya not only has the goal of interfering with civilization and studying collapse, but also has another goal, which is the study of emotions.

During the battle with the World Devourer Rāhu, the anger of the people of the Immortal Boat inspired Ruan Mei to conduct in-depth research on the element of emotion.

Therefore, when modifying Hol Haiya's genes, Ruan Mei added a little auxiliary ingredient into it - persistence.

Apart from that, there was no further interference.

"Ruan Mei, will you go to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star's performance in a few days?" Black Curly Tail sat opposite the sofa and asked Ruan Mei.

"You will go, right?" Ruan Mei did not give a definite answer.

"Little Star has been preparing for this performance for a long time. If you don't go, she might be disappointed." Black Curly Tail remembered the expectant look in Xing's eyes when she handed him the ticket to the performance, so after a little thought, he continued to persuade her.

"Okay, I understand. I will go as long as I don't have any plans." Ruan Mei nodded.

After hearing Ruan Mei's answer, Black Curly Tail didn't say anything else. She understood that Ruan Mei didn't neglect her adopted daughter Xing, but was just adopting her usual laissez-faire strategy.

"Speaking of which, Black Curl, so many years have passed, what plans do you have for your future?" At this time, Ruan Mei suddenly spoke and asked Black Curl.

After completing his revenge on the World-Devouring Rāhu, this undead spirit who came back from the past lost his life goals. Although he was not completely muddle-headed, he was still living a "perfunctory" life.

Chapter 13 Premonition

Black Curly Tail had no idea what to do in the future, nor could she give an answer.

Time passed by like this, and soon it was the day when the band formed by Xing would perform.

After all, it was the day when the youngest child in the family would officially perform on stage. Mebius rarely turned down an experiment. After handing over the company's affairs to his other assistant Blanca, he took Klein to the theater for the performance.

Meanwhile, Ruan Mei had agreed to Black Curlytail's suggestion and decided to come see Xing. Since Ruan Mei was there, Hol Haiya naturally wouldn't be absent. So, how do you hide her wings and tail? It was simple: just use the principle of light refraction to conceal them.

For Ruan Mei, this was something that could be done easily with just a flick of her fingers. In fact, in order to allow Hol Haiya to live normally in human society, Ruan Mei had already made some props for her that could hide her racial characteristics.

In the eyes of those who don't know Holhaiya, she is just a mature human woman with an attractive figure, charming and mysterious temperament, rather than a feathered serpent with wings and a tail.

Of course, in the eyes of everyone who knew Holhaiya's true appearance, she was still that dangerous non-human agent, but in the eyes of Mebius, this person seemed somewhat hateful.

Holhaiya sat on Ruan Mei's right side, holding one of Ruan Mei's arms in a very intimate manner. She didn't care at all that the two big peaks on her chest were flattened. She looked at Mebius, opened her mouth, and moved silently.

"Tsk." Looking at Holhaiya's provocative eyes and the boastful lip movements, Mebius snorted in dissatisfaction.

"What's wrong, Mobius? Do you want to change seats?" Ruan Mei turned her head and looked at Mobius who was sitting on her left and asked.

"No!" Mobius spoke subconsciously. After denying it, he realized that his reaction seemed a bit too intense, so he became even more depressed.

Holhaiya showed a victorious expression, but Ruan Mei soon pinched one of her wings on her head.

"Don't bully Mebius too much." Ruan Mei said.

"I understand, Ms. Ruan Mei." Holhaiya nodded.

Ruan Mei then let go of her hand and gently stroked the feathers on her wings.

Holhaiya squinted his eyes comfortably.

"Hoohoo—" Xi Lian, who was sitting at the back of the group and had seen the interaction between Holhaiya and Mebius clearly, couldn't help but utter a small sound. She leaned over, resting her chin on Ruan Mei's left shoulder, aiming at her earlobe, where a pearl earring hung, and chuckled softly, "Buddy, you're a bit mean-spirited."

Although Ruan Mei was sitting between the two of them and could not see the interaction between Holhaiya and Mebius, Xi Lian did not believe that Ruan Mei did not know what was going on.

In other words, even though he knew that it was Holhaiya who provoked Mobius first, he still pretended to be unaware of what happened and even teased Mobius. He was really malicious.

But Xilian likes it very much.

After all, as Ruan Mei's good friend, she really hopes that Ruan Mei can be more humane. It's not that the previous Ruan Mei was bad, but in Xilian's opinion, the previous Ruan Mei was not good at expressing her emotions and was unwilling to give her trust and friendship.

Isn’t it better to have more friends?

So she fully supports Ruan Mei's adoption of Xing and Mobius, and her adoption of Alicia may also be influenced by this reason.

As long as you let your friends feel the joy of being with everyone, they will slowly open their hearts.

In response to Xi Lian's accusation, Ruan Mei simply showed her usual gentle smile, that half-smile expression was as long and elusive as the spring rain in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River.

Alicia, who grew up with Mobius, knows very well about his character of not caring on the surface but actually caring deeply. Therefore, after Mobius's defense was briefly broken, Alicia naturally would not miss the opportunity to finish him off.

"Oh, Mobius, I didn't expect you to be so reluctant to sit next to Ruanmei's mother. But it's okay, Ellie, I can switch seats with you~" After saying that, Alicia winked at Mobius. "Well, Ellie, wasn't I very considerate? You should thank me well~"

"Ailixiya→" Mebius gritted his teeth and glared.

"Eh hey?!" Alicia smiled cutely.

While the two were playing and joking, the performance was about to begin.

The stage lights dimmed.

Just then, Ruan Mei raised her eyebrows.

An invisible wave appeared in Ruan Mei's perception, and Xi Lian and Hol Haiya also felt this wave at the same time.

As a destiny traveler of memory, Xilian has traveled a considerable distance on the destiny of memory by transferring the memories of the undead in the Cangcheng Immortal Boat, so he can feel this fluctuation.

As for Hol Haiya, although her strength is far inferior to Xi Lian, she herself has a close connection with Honkai and is one of the experimental subjects used by Ruan Mei to study Honkai, so she can naturally feel this fluctuation.

—The wave of collapse.

The rapidly rising concentration of Honkai only indicates one thing, that is, the side of the cocoon, one of the symbols of Honkai, the Herrscher is about to appear in this world for the first time.

"Ms. Ruan Mei!" Holhaiya sat up straight.

Although Holhaiya enjoyed being able to be close to his creator and his god, he did not forget one of his responsibilities, which was to collect the core of the Ruler for Ruan Mei to study.

Moreover, as long as things are done well, Horhaiya will have reason to seek more "rewards".

Although Ruan Mei does not care about human morality, from the perspective of a worker, Ruan Mei is an excellent boss, and her moral standards are much higher than those of the capitalists - as long as you perform well, you can get rewards far beyond what you pay.

"Mate, leave that to me and Hol Haiya," Xi Lian also grabbed Ruan Mei's neck from behind, "Xing is looking forward to seeing you."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, but if you encounter a problem that you can't solve, just give me a signal." Ruan Mei nodded and gave a reminder.

It's just a reminder.

In the current world, there is no one who can defeat Xilian and Horhaiya.

As for the cocoon, well, although the research on cocoon had stopped a long time ago, Ruan Mei had also gained some clues.

The power of the cocoon is indeed strong. It can even be said that as long as the cocoon is completely assimilated, one can use its power to become the number one person under the true Star God, or even become a Half-Step Star God.

That's why the Order Envoy set his sights on the cocoon, but at the same time, the cocoon does not have a true self - although the cocoon is powerful, it will not interfere with the outside world in a real sense.

Just like the Void Star God, it simply exists here.

Chapter 14 Collapse

The place where the collapse occurred was a remote coastal city.

When Horhaiya and Xilian were transferred here by the Phase Fire, the city had already suffered severe damage.

Countless planes flew in the sky, and amid the harsh sound of sonic booms, missiles were dropped, exploding into small mushroom clouds on the ground.

On the sea, several huge black shadows were faintly visible. One after another, shells were projected out by electromagnetic force, like lasers, directly smashing the tall buildings.

The ground was shaking violently, not only because of the shock wave from the explosion and the collapse of houses, but also because some steel behemoth was driving on it.

Tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, with their tracks and huge tires, rolled over the asphalt road, crushing the road while also moving their guns towards the fleeing humans.

The next moment, flames flashed from the muzzle of a tank, and the shells designed to directly hit heavy armor flew directly towards the fleeing crowd.

Just as the shell was about to hit the crowd and cause mass deaths, at the critical moment, a wisp of green wind whistled past in front of the shell. The wind was like a giant hand, easily grasping the shell in its palm.

"If I let you fire this shot, my reputation will be ruined." A hoarse voice sounded at this moment, and a bloated figure suddenly appeared behind the crowd.

Holhaiya held up the staff in his hand, and a dangerous light flashed in his blue vertical pupils.
