"I don't have one, but I have a large group of strong team members."

"..."

You cannot attack something that does not exist; in short, you cannot select it.

While bickering might sound like a direct confrontation, for Mebius, it's actually a way to relieve stress.

Even though Mebius herself didn't realize she was willing to come to this lab, she still hoped that at least someone would come.

After all, she herself is fine, but Klein really won't be able to handle it. Having some popularity will be better for the latter's physical and mental health.

Bai Yan gazed at the sleeping Pado after the surgery, wondering whether he should tell Kiana about it.

For others, it would be a mixed blessing, but for Pado, encountering such a thing would only bring benefits and no harm.

Never mind, let's wait until Pado wakes up before we talk about it.

"Do you know her?" Mebius asked, noticing Bai Yan's gaze.

"I saw her on Dusk Street, but she got away before I knew it. She's a very skilled girl."

"For you to give her such a high evaluation, she must truly be extraordinary..."

Both he was incredibly lucky and possessed exceptional skills; this was the first time Mebius had ever heard Bai Yan utter such words.

Even a warrior like Sakura, who combines agility and sensory specialization, could be stolen, which speaks volumes about Pado's skill.

Which team does she currently belong to?

"Not yet, after all, no one but you is so certain about the outcome of this kind of surgery."

Mebius glanced at him, then looked away and started making coffee.

After listening to their conversation, Su couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, how does Captain Fu Yan determine the success rate of the surgery?"

Bai Yan cast a glance and said ambiguously, "The simplest way is to see if this person survived the collapse at some point; as for the other hand, I can only say that people cannot be generalized."

Su remained silent, looking at his hands.

He has undergone surgery, and although his body appears unchanged on the surface, he has essentially transcended the realm of ordinary people.

"As the strongest member of the Fire Moths, what is Captain Fu Yan's view on this method of acquiring power?"

Upon hearing this, Möbius didn't even look up, just chuckled and started drinking his coffee.

Bai Yan stroked his chin and thought for a while.

Then he said, "High risk, high reward. If you dare to gamble, go for it."

"...Even if it means becoming such an existence?"

"So what? If I didn't have my own methods, I would most likely have tried them anyway."

"Is this so?"

The operating room fell silent after that, until Klein woke up.

She glanced at Pado, who was still fast asleep, and her tense state relaxed. She lay down and continued to sleep.

As long as Pado hasn't woken up, she can continue sleeping.

Seize the moment, as such opportunities are rare in the future.

Bai Yan shook his head upon seeing this.

There's nothing I can do to help.

However, it wasn't long before Paddo woke up, but Mebius didn't rush to wake Klein.

When Pado first saw Bai Yan, she thought she was still half asleep, so she quickly rubbed her eyes.

"..."

"It's me, you didn't see wrong—alright, come with me in a bit, we'll meet some acquaintances along the way."

Pado immediately shrank back in terror, her eyes constantly darting towards the exit of the operating room, searching for some unknown, strange movement.

However, Bai Yan had already grabbed her hand, making it impossible for her to escape.

So she quickly changed her expression.

"Well, Mr. Fu, you see I've already returned everything, could you please be magnanimous and not hold a grudge?"

"Yes, but you have to join my team."

"Uh……"

"You'll get your share of the benefits if you do things for me."

“Oh! Boss Fu—Captain, you’ve come to the right person! Just give the orders, I, Padofelis, will never refuse! Um… what’s in the team…”

Mebius looked at the two of them, and for some reason felt like he had been outmaneuvered.

She put down her coffee cup, jumped off her chair, and came to the two of them.

"Before that, we need to do a test—even if you want to take it, at least wait until I finish my work, right?"

Bai Yan nodded: "Okay."

Then he turned around and went to the only exit to wait quietly.

Volume 1: Chapter 159: The Cat Has Fallen Asleep Again

Modern civilization, ?』児玖琦〒锍（九）?「衣三玐VI world snake depths.

Raiden Mei looked at the pink-haired girl in front of her with a cold expression.

"I'm here looking for an answer. If you can't tell me, please step aside."

"Oh dear, don't be in such a hurry," Alicia smoothed her hair. "No one here knows more secrets than I do."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Raiden Mei finally became interested.

When she first entered, all she knew was that the contents were memory cells, and the girl in front of her had been standing guard at the entrance from the beginning, seemingly waiting for her.

After asking around for a while, the other party never got to the point, as if it was intentional.

This made Raiden Mei gradually become impatient.

If it weren't for the desire to keep a low profile, she might have even drawn her sword.

This woman is so annoying!

She even saw a shadow of someone in Alicia—the part of her that she hated.

For example, pretending to be stupid.

As a member of the Paradise of the Past, how could one be allowed to leave a memory if they knew nothing?

Are we using ourselves as information redundancy to mislead the enemy?

Alicia probably sensed the other person's emotions, so she quickly released some useful information.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be good to upset such a cute girl!

"I've heard that Dr. Mei from the pre-civilization era left something behind for civilization, supposedly as a final, ultimate contingency plan? What is it?"

Upon hearing this, Alicia displayed an extremely exaggerated expression.

"Oh dear, Mei, you're suddenly getting to the point! I wasn't prepared at all! After all, this is my first time doing something like this, I have absolutely no experience—how about we peel back the veil of mystery little by little?"

"...You'd better actually be moving toward the truth, instead of taking the long way around me."

"Don't worry, I wouldn't have the heart to tease a cute girl like Mei."

"Looks like you've tricked quite a few people," Raiden Mei thought to herself.

Then, Alicia leaned close to Raiden Mei and whispered, "Let's go inside now, and I'll answer your questions slowly. Some things are complicated, and if we just tell you directly, you might never know the truth. So don't be impatient, take it one step at a time. I'll be with you."

Raiden Mei didn't answer, but slowly followed as Alicia began to lead the way.

As the strange buildings of the pre-civilization moved backward, the two officially entered the interior of the Paradise of the Past.

Then, Raiden Mei's attention was drawn to an unidentified creature.

"What is that? Does the Land of Rebirth still keep Honkai Beasts?"

"Ah? Uh..."

Alicia followed her gaze and suddenly realized what she was seeing, but she didn't know what to say.

A cat, about the height of a person, was dozing on a tree branch, unaware that dawn had broken.

“That’s Padofelis, our companion, not a Honkai Beast.”

"...Was it a man-made collapse?"

“Mebius outside even told you this? Really… Indeed, this is Pado’s collapsed form, but it’s uncontrollable. Every full moon, she involuntarily transforms into this form, and over time everyone has gotten used to it.”

Raiden Mei didn't understand what the problem was, and just felt it was incredible.

Mebius would never intentionally induce a collapse before encountering a formidable enemy, yet this person would involuntarily change...

Fusion warriors, what strange beings.

"Then let's not disturb her for now, and visit her later," Raiden Mei said, withdrawing her gaze.

"Mei is so understanding. Let's continue."

When the two arrived at the entrance of a building, Raiden Mei spotted another person.

He was wearing a mask and sitting on a stool with his arms crossed.

Upon seeing the two of them, he stood up and looked at Alicia.

"who?"

"Sigh, why couldn't you at least say hello politely first? Oh well, this is Raiden Mei, she's a guest."

"Who is Lei Dian?"

Raiden Mei sensed that the opponent might be a bot.

When someone wearing a mask repeats the same words, you can't hear any difference in their voice; it's as if a machine is repeating them.

Therefore, in order to further test the other party's situation, Raiden Mei said, "My name is Raiden Mei, and I am a Herrscher, the Herrscher of Lightning."

"..."

Qianjie was silent for a moment.

He looked at Alicia, then at Raiden Mei, and finally raised his hand.

A violent force quietly gathered, prompting Raiden Mei to activate her Herrscher armor directly.

Alicia didn't move, but just sighed quietly.

The attack that Raiden Mei had anticipated did not come. Instead, the masked man reached out his hand.

"Take it."

"Ok?"

"I said, take it! I don't want to waste words!"

Raiden Mei was taken aback by this change and subconsciously looked at Alicia.

"Mei, please accept it. Don't let Senjaku's appearance fool you; he's actually quite gentle at heart."

"……Thanks."
