Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　She said it with a hint of shyness.

　How much longer do you plan to hold me like this?

　"I thought you would like being held like this."

　Despite his deep reluctance, he decisively released his hand and gazed tenderly at Mebius.

　He understood that this was not the time to continue this intimacy.

　After losing the support of Moros's embrace, Mebius staggered a couple of steps before regaining her balance. She straightened her clothes and hair, trying to regain her usual composure and competence.

　However, the shyness and reluctance in her eyes were hard to hide.

　"Shouldn't we...shouldn't we take care of our work first?"

　She spoke somewhat awkwardly, trying to divert her attention by talking about work.

　Nodding, a gentle smile appeared on Moros's lips.

　"Yes, work is important. But you looked really beautiful just now."

　Upon hearing this, Mebius's cheeks turned even redder.

　She lowered her head shyly, not daring to look directly into Moros's deep and loving eyes.

　But deep inside her, a warm current was quietly surging—the sweet feeling of being understood and cherished, a true taste of happiness she had never experienced before.

　Outside the laboratory, Danzhu and Cangxuan also recovered from the shock they had just experienced.

　"Wow, I never expected the Doctor to make such an expression."

　Danzhu whispered to Cangxuan about what they had just witnessed, her face beaming with undisguised excitement and curiosity.

　She's always incredibly interested in this kind of gossip.

　"Danzhu, have you thought about how you plan to face the Doctor?"

　Cang Xuan's tone carried a hint of worry.

　Unlike her younger sister, who was engrossed in gossip, her survival instinct told her that what had just happened was not over.

　Mebius was not a magnanimous person.

　Whether it was witnessing her intimate contact with Moros or interrupting their good time together, it would make her unhappy.

　Isn't this a death sentence?!

　Crying inwardly, Cang Xuan racked his brains trying to figure out how to deal with the situation that was about to unfold.

　She knew she had to come up with a solution that would both defuse the awkwardness and be acceptable to Möbius, or the consequences would be dire.

　She had no intention of following in Blanca and Klein's footsteps, being overwhelmed by endless work.

　Just as Cangxuan and Danzhu were struggling with how to face Mebius, their eyes simultaneously caught sight of a figure at the other end of the corridor.

　Klein!

　Upon recognizing the newcomers, Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu's eyes immediately lit up.

　If there is anyone in this world who can help them, it must be Dr. Mebius, their confidant.

　Thinking of this, Cang Xuan called out to Klein without hesitation.

　"Klein, please help us..."

　Upon hearing Cangxuan's call, Klein paused slightly.

　Her gaze swept over Cangxuan and Danzhu, finally settling on the tightly closed laboratory door behind them, and she had already guessed what was going on.

　"What's wrong? You all seem a bit off."

　Cang Xuan hurriedly stepped forward, lowered his voice, and told Klein everything that had just happened and their worries.

　Her words were filled with urgency, and her eyes were full of expectation, as if Klein was their only savior at this moment.

　After listening to Cang Xuan's account, Klein's lips twitched slightly.

　She was clearly taken aback by this unexpected "surprise".

　But then, she regained her composure, a thoughtful look in her eyes.

　"Don't worry, I will help you."

　Klein patted Cangxuan on the shoulder and gave her a firm look.

　Then, she started walking towards the laboratory.

　As the laboratory door opened, Klein saw Möbius standing in front of the lab bench, trying to refocus his attention on the scattered documents and instruments.

　Meanwhile, Moros helped tidy up, and the atmosphere between the two seemed to have returned to its usual calm after their tender embrace.

　"Klein, is something the matter?"

　Mebius looked up, his eyes filled with a question.

　Klein smiled, his gaze shifting between the two men, already having made his decision.

　"Doctor, I'm here to discuss some details of a recent project with you. However, it seems you're quite busy?"

Chapter 658 Appeasement and the Approaching Doomsday

　“It’s alright, Klein, you always bring important insights.”

　Noticing Klein's hesitation, Mebius turned and looked at Moros with tender eyes.

　"Moros, could you give me a moment? I'd like to speak with Klein alone."

　With a slight nod, the necromancer gave Klein an encouraging look before quietly leaving the laboratory, leaving Klein and Mebius in a subtle and tranquil space.

　"Klein, tell me, what is it?"

　Mebius asked bluntly.

　She knew Klein too well; she knew that Klein's expression meant she wanted to speak to her alone.

　Klein walked up to Mebius and whispered.

　"Actually, I came on behalf of Cangxuan and Danzhu. They accidentally stumbled upon... well, there might be some misunderstanding."

　Upon hearing this, Mebius's serpentine eyes trembled slightly, but quickly returned to their usual calm and depth.

　"Oh? What did they see?"

　Klein carefully chose his words, succinctly selecting each phrase.

　“They saw some intimate behavior between you and Moros. They are both surprised and worried, so they asked me to inquire if there is anything they can do to make amends for this unintentional mistake.”

　A silent atmosphere filled the air as Möbius seemed to be weighing various factors in his mind.

　“Klein, you know me. What happened today…was indeed a bit sudden.”

　“I understand, Doctor. Cangxuan and Danzhu are also aware of this, and they deeply regret disturbing you and Moros.”

　Klein's words were full of sincerity.

　Upon hearing this, a blush quietly crept onto Mebius's flawless white face.

　"Okay, I'll talk to them."

　Seemingly sensing Klein's concern, Mebius added another sentence.

　"Don't worry, I won't do anything to them."

　Having received his doctor's promise, Klein finally breathed a sigh of relief.

　"Of course, Doctor, thank you for your understanding."

　Then, Klein changed the subject and began to report on the progress of his work.

　This is precisely the real purpose of her visit.

　After the conversation, Klein left the laboratory and found Cangxuan and Danzhu waiting anxiously outside.

　"So? What did the doctor say?"

　Cang Xuan asked urgently.

　Klein smiled, his tone unhurried.

　"The doctor asked me to tell you that she will speak with you personally."

　Upon hearing this, Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu's faces turned deathly pale.

　"Oh no, sis, I don't want to work overtime..."

　"Danzhu, should we run away..."

　Seeing Danzhu and Cangxuan in this state, Klein quickly stepped forward to comfort them.

　"Don't worry, the doctor won't make things difficult for you."

　Danzhu patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

　"Great! I thought I'd be punished with a ton of extra work! Now I can relax."

　Cang Xuan appeared more composed, casting a grateful glance at Klein.

　"Klein, thank you. We were definitely in the wrong this time."

　Klein gently patted Cangxuan's shoulder, his eyes filled with encouragement.

　"Don't worry, we're all part of a team, and supporting each other is what we should do. Now, let's get back to our jobs and not let this little incident affect our work efficiency."

　Although Klein has learned how to better face the challenges of life and work after experiencing the tenth Great Collapse and no longer uses work to numb herself, out of long-standing habit and respect for Möbius, she will still do her best to complete every task assigned by Möbius.

　Just as Klein was patiently calming Danzhu and Cangxuan down, Moros quietly entered Möbius's laboratory again.

　He slowly

　Approaching Mebius from behind, she gently but firmly extended her arms and tenderly embraced Dr. Mebius, who still maintained her mature and sophisticated demeanor.

　In the firm embrace of Moros, Mebius shifted slightly, as if searching for a more comfortable position.

　Then, she nestled comfortably in Moros's arms.

　With his eyes closed, feeling the warmth and security of his chosen partner, Möbius smiled from the bottom of his heart.

　At the same time, her emerald-green hair gently brushed against Moros's face, leaving a fresh and elegant fragrance.

　Lowering his head, the necromancer gently inhaled the scent of Mebius's hair, his voice deep and magnetic.

　“Möbius, about that artificial creature you created…”

　"Hmm? You mean this? Any new discoveries?"

　Mebius's voice carried a hint of languor and satisfaction.

　"If it's just a replica of the body, it's far from perfect."

　The necromancer's words carried a hint of reminder, yet were not without gentleness.

　Möbius was well aware of Moros's warning.

　“I know that the true allure of the Tanaris lies in their souls, not merely in the accumulation of flesh. However, in the exploration of the mysteries of the soul, my current research has not yet touched upon the creation of artificial souls.”

　Her voice was calm yet firm, revealing an infinite desire to explore the unknown.

　"The birth of the gray snake was indeed a pleasant surprise. I had gradually realized this through countless previous experiments."

　Möbius's words were filled with his dedication and passion for scientific research.

　She was never afraid of experimental failures; on the contrary, she regarded them as an essential step on the road to success.

　In fact, she never regarded this problem as an obstacle to progress.

　Möbius always maintained absolute confidence in his research abilities.

　"I firmly believe that given enough time and resources, I will be able to overcome this challenge and create a truly meaningful artificial life form with a soul."

　Her voice was full of determination and anticipation, as if she could already see the dazzling light of future success.

　"Uh……"

　He paused, a complex expression flashing across Moros's eyes.

　"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you don't have that much time..."
