Chapter 140 Yaksha
Mebius looked at the pair of slender pink ears in the culture solution and was in a daze.
"Pfft..." The hydraulically powered door slid open to the side, and a footstep that seemed a bit deliberate due to its efforts to suppress it came from afar and came closer, finally stopping behind Mebius.
"Is this... the ear of the... Yaksha whom I defeated in Luluye?"
"Tsk! Alicia, do you have to speak in this tone?"
"Eh! Mebius, what's wrong with you? Are you so angry?"
Mebius took two deep breaths and almost blurted out some words, but when he thought of Mikael's request, he finally swallowed them.
"You came to my laboratory just to talk nonsense?"
Alicia flipped up her hair on the side. The answer was obvious, of course not. What she wanted to know was naturally what Mikael had done here before and what he had said. But as always, Mikael once again Together with Mebius's choice to hide it from her.
Although this feeling is no longer unfamiliar, she is still very uncomfortable - Mikael, is there something you...can't tell Alicia?
"Is he okay?"
"Don't worry, it's great. Didn't you see him just now?"
"I saw it... He also said that he would go to the orphanage with me and Xier tomorrow to visit."
It's really good... He looks like a fine person, but the more he looks like this, the less reassuring he is.
"Mebius, I heard that your fusion warrior project almost ran aground due to lack of samples for human experiments?"
"What? Do you want to come and lie down on my operating table?"
"Ang! Of course!"
"Are you serious!"
Mebius suddenly turned around and looked at Alicia who was smiling.
"Oh, one or two of them are all crazy!"
Mebius clenched his fists, walked quickly to the closet in the laboratory, roughly took out a pink maid outfit, and smashed it at Ellie head-on.
"Get out of here!"
"Oh Mebius, don't be so angry!"
Mebius couldn't help but push her out of the laboratory and roughly closed the door.
"One after another, can you be more sensible!"
Although the most irrational person at the moment seems to be herself.
"Hehe...ha..."
"My experiment encountered a problem...but I don't need you like this...hum!"
Calm returned to the laboratory.
"Alicia...what a disgusting woman..."
Mebius complained to the cold wall alone:
"Why? Mikael..."
"Yaksha is not suitable for Alicia. She will not like this kind of Honkai Beast that is not cute enough... So, if she is really willing to undergo this operation, I will get her the one she wants."
This is someone's exact words.
Then Mebius finally understood why he was so out of control——
That's just a kind of...envy.
…………
Yes, envy.
Mei envied Mebius for having such a dedicated assistant.
"Doctor, Experimental Subject No. 1, a male, only survived for 32 minutes after being injected with the Yaksha gene. Experimental Subject No. 2, a female, survived for 251 minutes after being injected with the Yaksha gene. The next step is to maintain this variable and continue to expand the experiment. Sample, or experiment by controlling the next variable?”
Klein asked without looking up while writing down paper test records with an old-fashioned ink pen.
"Expand the sample! It doesn't matter, we have prepared enough volunteers, and we must ensure that the conclusions at every step are correct!"
Lezlen rubbed his hands excitedly, his green eyes shining with embarrassment.
In contrast, Mei's eyes were much dim. She faced Klein directly, and saw that the other party was looking at her blankly, as if he had no intention of carrying out Lezren's order.
Mei closed her eyes, opened them again, and nodded quickly.
Klein's pupils narrowed, as if resisting, but after only a quarter of a second, she nodded obediently:
"Captain Kevin, please bring volunteers No. 3 to 20 into the laboratory."
Mei glanced at Lezlen's straight back. After Klein's words fell, the laboratory became quiet for a while, and then he could clearly hear his crazy murmur:
"That's right, that's it! Ah... combine God's creation with God's creation to create an individual with supreme power..."
Mei actually has no interest in politics, let alone the dispute between Lezren and Vasak, but she is still clearly aware of the differences between the two men's ideas——
Vassago is a well-known pure humanist, while Lezren has always advocated combining human power with Honkai Impact... I really don’t know how these two people got together in the first place. This is so dirty. Politics?
It doesn't matter, she, Mei, is just a scientist, nothing more.
Seeing the experiment proceeding step by step, nine pairs of male and female volunteers entered the culture chamber with longing and excitement, and were then anesthetized...
Mei hid her figure in the darkness - she was no longer needed here for the time being.
"Kevin..."
May and Kevin stood side by side with their backs against the wall.
"You said...we did everything right, right?"
Kevin just kept heaving his chest and said nothing - he knew that he couldn't tell the truth at all, and he also knew that what May needed was never a conversationalist, but a listener.
"If the second collapse was still a strength that humans could barely solve, then the third and fourth collapses let humans know that with the current human combat power, if it weren't for Mikael and the others, how much would we have to pay to solve a collapse?
"In fact, the Fusion Warrior Project is not the only option. I know that there are plans for 100-meter-class humanoid combat weapons and human mechanical transformation plans, but... huh...
"The Fusion Warrior Project is actually a private plan that has never been put on the table. If Mikael hadn't reminded me about Klein and Mebius that day, this plan might have been completely buried. The reason why I chose this plan is not only because it is supported by Mikael, but also because: according to Klein... Mebius has completed this experiment."
"Completed? What do you mean?"
Kevin finally spoke.
"That's what I meant. Remember when we met Dr. Mobius later, we almost couldn't recognize her? That was the side effect of the Shesha factor she fused... and it's not just that! Klein still hid something from me. I followed this idea to secretly investigate the body left by Mikael... and found a lot of Shesha factors in his genes."
"This... this..."
"Then I secretly asked Captain Himiko, Aldemir and other people who participated in the battle in Canghai City. I roughly guessed that Mikael and Mobius's operations were completed within one day and one night - that is, the day before we met the Herrscher in Changkong City, and I didn't find any human live experiment data on fusion warriors in the information left by Mobius. In other words, Mobius completed two fusion warrior operations in one day, with a success rate of 100%."
"But our success rate is still zero percent so far, right?"
Kevin gently embraced May's body, allowing her to rest her head on his shoulder.
"Um... Kevin..."
"What's wrong?"
"... You... I... Nothing..."
"Hey, by the way, Mei! Are these volunteers all Fire Moth warriors?"
"Should be... Right... What's wrong?"
"I don't see a familiar face."
Mebius stared at the pair of slender pink ears in the culture medium, lost in thought.
"Puff..."
The hydraulic door slid to one side, and Mebius asked without looking back:
"Are you here?"
"Yeah."
The visitor only uttered a short syllable, just as she did things in a crisp and decisive manner.
But then, her voice was filled with reminiscence:
"That... is the ear of the Yasha we met in Luluye?"
"Hehe, how come you two say exactly the same thing?"
"Just tell me, Mebius, what do you want me to do?"
"It's nothing serious, but... Mikael needs your help with something."
"... I understand."
After hesitating for only two or three seconds, she took off the ice blade at her waist and took off all her clothes until she was covered in the icy culture medium, until the special anesthetic continued to penetrate into her bone marrow through the pores of her skin...
The last intuition in her consciousness was that the needle gently pierced the flesh of her forearm.
"Hmph... why is there another one..."
