One soul, two twins, the other half is Bronya

"..."

For a moment, the situation was a little awkward.

Seeing Bai Ye looking over, Alicia tapped her head, trying to get away with it, "Hey~?"

Then, Alicia was "invited" to the side. If it were an anime, it might have been sealed.

"Okay, the troublemakers have quieted down."

Bai Ye let out a long sigh and drank his tea slowly. "Let me tell you a story." (Please listen to my story)

"Once upon a time..."

"..., Bai Ye, I'm not a child anymore." Hearing this clichéd remark, Xier couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Okay, okay~"

Bai Ye chuckled and waved his hand, "I was just joking. Anyway, that's pretty much the point. The evil god fell, and his power was dispersed throughout the human world."

"And you, Xi'er! You probably possess a part of it, although that power has not yet awakened."

emmm...

There was silence.

"Bai Ye, do you think I'm easy to fool? Is there really anyone who would believe such a far-fetched story?"

Xier crossed her arms and her tone suddenly turned cold. Although Bai Ye was very handsome, it was too much to fool her like that! She wasn't a child!

Xier's favorable impression of Bai Ye plummeted, and she didn't want to continue the conversation. "That's it, if you called me here just to talk about this..."

"I didn't lie to you~"

Bai Ye extended his index finger, and a cluster of blazing white lightning danced at his fingertips. "Look, this power is real."

"..., this should be some kind of magic, right?" Xier said, stretching out her hand towards the cluster of lightning...

!!!

A tingling sensation.

Thanks to Bai Ye's control, Xi'er was not hurt. But even so, her worldview was still shocked and she couldn't recover for a while.

Bai Ye didn't say anything, just quietly waiting. However, Alicia was a little restless and came closer.

She pried open Bai Ye's five fingers and touched them one by one, but found nothing.

After a while, Xier finally came to her senses and sat upright opposite Bai Ye. "Um...Bai Ye, what happened next?"

"Don't you think I'm lying?"

"Well…"

Feeling the teasing in Bai Ye's words, Xi'er pouted and wanted to turn away. However, she couldn't suppress her curiosity about supernatural powers.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Bai Ye also stopped while he was ahead and continued to make up his story: "Didn't I say before that the power came from the 'evil god' and contained a violent will."

(The concept of collapse is replaced here)

"Of course, if 'God' can be defeated, then this power can naturally be controlled."

This time, it was a promise to pique Xier's interest, hinting that she would be able to do it when the time comes. "Don't worry, we will help you. It's not difficult."

"...Is it really okay?"

After a long silence, Xier still felt uncertain. After all, she was just a little girl, not a warrior.

"It's okay, huh~?"

This is when Alicia comes in and uses a statement that girls can more easily accept: "Believe in the magic of the heart. A lovely girl's heart can do anything~?"

"Ahem, that's about what I mean. Don't many special effects use the setting where the enemy and the ally share the same origin?"

Bai Ye then added, "What's important is your belief and stance, not your identity."

"But as a lovely girl, Xi'er will of course choose to stand on the side of 'justice', right?"

89. The Tenderness of Mobius

In the end, Xier got a place in the laboratory and was assigned to the school closest to the Fire Moth.

She didn't have to do anything. Until that moment came, she could just enjoy life.

……

"Why Mobius Labs?"

Alicia couldn't quite understand. It wasn't that she had any objections, but Mobius's reputation... well, everyone understands.

"Everything is handled by Klein. It has nothing to do with me. And Xier doesn't have to do anything. She's just a figurehead."

Having a name on it means being excluded - after all, the experiments conducted by Bai Ye and Mobius, emmm... are really not suitable for Xier to know.

"By the way, Bai Ye, your ability to discharge electricity...?" Alicia was very curious.

"Is this what you mean?"

A cluster of lightning flashed again.

Unlike Seele, Alicia is a Herrscher!

Since Bai Ye had pointed it out, she didn't need to hide anything in front of him. Out of curiosity, she reached out her hand directly...

"Waaaaaa, it's really thunder and lightning~?"

There was a brisk sound. Alicia touched the lightning without feeling any discomfort.

However... this extraordinary ability also reminded Bai Ye of Alicia: "Bai Ye, you should know what Mebius is researching."

"Hmm, wait! Is this the result of the experiment? Has Mebius already attacked you?!"

In fact, Alicia has some knowledge about Mebius.

That was why she was surprised. After all... Mobius shouldn't be that radical. If he was truly a villain, why would she approach him?

"Let me clarify here. This is my own ability and has nothing to do with the doctor." Bai Ye explained.

Alicia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

——After all, he was the first person to know her true identity and fully accept her. She didn't want Bai Ye to get into trouble. "So, do you want to come and see me?"

"With abilities like these, it's very dangerous to hang around in front of Mobius. You never know, you might end up tied to a lab table someday~?"

"Alicia."

However, Bai Ye showed a mysterious smile on his face in response to Alicia's statement, "Why do you think the doctor didn't do anything to me?"

"Of course, I took the initiative to propose this." Without waiting for Alicia to say anything, Bai Ye spoke first.

The lightning was gathered into a ball and thrown casually in Bai Ye's hands. "Honkai is not that simple. I need strength!"

"..."

Even he himself had no objection, so now, Alicia was at a loss for words. Thinking about her recent conversation with Mebius, she said, "I think I know why Mebius likes you."

“I like the Doctor’s, too.”

It can be seen that at this moment, Bai Ye's face showed a smile that came from the heart.

……

The next day

"Hi, Bai Ye, see you again~?"

In the Mobius Laboratory, a pure, genuine and loving girl appeared here and greeted Bai Ye warmly.

"..., why are you here?"

Bai Ye's voice was a little low. The silence at the beginning had already made him guess.

"Yeah, why~"

As enthusiastic as ever, Bai Ye was a little evasive. Alicia continued to move closer, with an infectious smile, "What's wrong? Smile more~?"

"..."

In response, Bai Ye just remained silent.

"Alicea, come over here and check the data." Mebius was wearing a white coat and his tone was barely perceptible.

"coming!"

Alicia agreed lively, said hello to Bai Ye, and went to Mebius. "What's wrong, Mebius? Are you afraid that I will snatch him away?"

"Why, do you think I'm jealous? Don't get me wrong, it's really just an experiment~"

Mebius spoke in a businesslike tone, not worried about his position being shaken. "Besides, that's my guinea pig. He won't go with you."

End of the day's experiment

"What's wrong, my little white mouse~"

Alicia had already left, and Klein was busy with his work. Now, only Bai Ye and Mobius were left in the lab.

“It doesn’t feel very good.”

"...Is it because of Alicia?"

"Maybe…"

Just yesterday, Bai Ye pointed out Alicia's identity and vaguely realized the subsequent developments to a certain extent.

——Alisa loves people deeply! Just as she sacrificed herself in the previous storyline, sowing the seeds of humanity, this time, she made a similar choice.

Bai Ye felt very conflicted.

On the one hand, this is exactly what makes her Alicia! But on the other hand, he doesn't want Alicia to do this. (There's a sense of self-loathing.)

"If you have anything to say, just tell me, little white mouse~" Mebius hugged Bai Ye'er gently from behind.

"..."

In the silent atmosphere, Bai Ye leaned back, resting his head between Mebius's plump breasts. "Doctor, would you like to hear a story from me?"

Doctor?

"Of course, my little guinea pig~"

Mebius noticed it, but remained calm and gently combed Bai Ye's hair, as if he could tolerate everything.

"There was a child who was born between heaven and earth and was adopted as an orphan in..."

"Inspired by a fairy tale book, she chose an incredibly beautiful name for herself. A flawless paradise, an eternal land of bliss—Alicea!"

"Later..."

During this time, Mebius listened quietly.

She hugged Bai Ye, her long green hair fell naturally and scattered on Bai Ye's shoulders... The picture was extremely peaceful and harmonious.

"Alicea understands the beauty of human nature, but also witnesses the complexity and contradictions of the human race."

"This realization has only deepened her love for humanity and strengthened her recognition of her own identity as a human being."

"Finally, the fate of that era is about to come to an end..."

——Alishia confessed her identity to her comrades and made a difficult decision for the people she loved deeply.

She impersonated the Thirteenth Herrscher, and with her own sacrifice, she brought hope to the people and sowed the seeds of humanity for the next generation of Herrschers...

"Tragedy is not the end, but the beginning of hope. Yes, that's what she said."

emmm...

Bai Ye had deliberately held back during the previous conversation. It wasn't until now, after Mobius had heard this story, that missing part was finally filled in.

However, that's not the point right now. "Little white mouse, what were your initial thoughts?"

"...I don't want her to die. If it were you, Doctor, maybe you could come up with a better solution."

"That's right, so research is necessary."
