Chapter 495 Night Owl

"Eleven degrees twenty minutes north latitude, one hundred forty-two degrees eleven points five minutes east longitude, Dr. Mebius, the location has been confirmed and the dive can be carried out."

In a small submarine that was completely different from the Hyperion, the one who spoke looked like he had just grown up. He had scruffy brown hair and dead fish eyes and looked even more dull and lifeless than Bronya.

"It's okay Night Owl. Keep the state that you can dive at any time, but there is no need to execute it. The time we need is not now, let everyone take turns to rest for a while. We still need to wait for some people."

Mebius didn't even raise his head, just flipping through the pages of the nameless book in his hand. He didn't know if it was Chen's misunderstanding, but he always felt that she was not very interested in what he just said.

"Are you waiting for someone? Got it, I will pass on the order."

The twitching eyelids blinked imperceptibly, a magnitude that would be barely noticeable even to the most careful observer. Chen Tianwu did not put forward his own suggestions, nor did he pester Mebius like a child with a strong thirst for knowledge to ask who was waiting here.

However, he was not sensible, nor did he guess what Mebius was waiting for, he just simply didn't care or care.

It was enough to be saved by the World Serpent when he was on the verge of death. As for becoming a cadre of the World Serpent, that was not important.

The task is just a means he needs to confirm his "existence", or to put it another way, as a person who lives because he is alive, he is just mechanically obeying the orders of the World Snake.

Considering the meaning, guessing the intentions of his boss, and trying to figure out what he wants, these things are ultimately out of reach and undesirable for him.

However, thinking cannot be completely stopped, even though it has nothing to do with the task. Just like human breathing and the swimming of sharks in the sea, this is the category of self-control of the nervous system. No one has ever been able to stop breathing with self-awareness, and naturally they cannot control the thinking of the brain - let’s use a more awkward word. In other words, isn’t forcing the brain not to think to be a kind of “thinking” in itself?

It was not difficult to quickly notify Mebius of his order. The space in the submarine was limited, and including him and Mebius, it could only accommodate ten people.

Then, he returned to Mebius, found a seat not far behind her, and then took out a notebook from the upper pocket of his uniform. There was a pen in the notebook, which was convenient for writing at any time. Can also be used as a bookmark.

The moment he opened the page, the smell of machine oil and the unique fishy smell of metal erupted from the paper, which made Mebius sniffle even though he was far away.

But Chen Tianwu didn't react at all. It's not that he's used to this smell. Some things can't be gotten used to through daily contact, just like no one can get used to the smell of shit.

It's just that, after undergoing a large number of modifications to his entire body in order to survive, he has completely lost his sense of smell.

This is something that is almost unbelievable when I think about it now - forget it...

The metal fingers wrapped under the gloves dexterously controlled the pen tip, and Chen wrote a long series of numbers in the lower right corner of a brand new page in the notebook.

That was nothing else, it was the commission he paid in advance for this payment.

On the almost completely blank left side of the paper, he skillfully wrote many lines of characters from top to bottom, which were all code names for certain families or organizations.

Then, he casually drew a black line in the middle of the paper as a dividing line, filled in the numbers in the half that belonged to the "amount", and made corrections from time to time. The final total added up to the commission in the lower right corner.

That's right, this is a simple account book, which records the whereabouts of every commission commission Chen has made over the past year in a very simple way - it is so simple that if you use "account book" to describe it, it will probably make a person... A large number of accounting students collapsed, but there was no way. Chen's education level was not much higher than that of a girl who was competing with "himself" for control of her body, so she could only use a more primitive method than a running account.

"You donated all your mission commissions again?"

Chen Wensheng raised his head. Mebius did not look back, but his voice was extremely sure, as if he had glasses on the back of his head and saw the contents of his "account book" with his own eyes.

"Ah... um."

Chen Tianwu responded casually, his eyes wandered for a moment, and he quickly returned his energy to the "account book" in front of him.

He had to check again with his fingers whether he had made any mistakes.

But Mebius didn't seem to want to let him go so easily.

"I said, have you donated all the rewards World Snake has given you over the past year or so in this way?"

"Um."

With the previous foreshadowing, Chen Tianwu didn't feel very nervous when Mebius actually asked the question.

Of course, there is really no need to be nervous.

Whether it is called remuneration or commission, it doesn't matter what. After they are delivered to Chen Tianwu, they are his property. How he handles his property, World Snake has no reason to interfere. Except for one possibility, that is, he donates the money to Tianming, Nientropy or Shenzhou. But that is impossible. The objects of the donations are all those he has investigated during his vacation time. He also used some resources within World Snake to confirm that the other party has no relationship with other organizations, just to prevent this possibility. To be honest, although he has never been to school, he has worked hard since he was a child, and is much more cautious than a certain pufferfish.

But the tension did exist for a moment. For the members of World Snake, as the Lord "Mikael", although they have long heard of his name and respect this hero who solved more than half of the Herrschers of the former civilization alone, but the one they contact most on weekdays is Dr. Mobius.

The impression Dr. Mobius left on most members was not terrible. To be precise, she seemed to have never paid too much attention to a certain person. It is rumored that she was interested in the jackal, but after observing for a while, she returned disappointed. Since there is no attention, naturally there will be no much care - this is Chen Tianwu's own idea. For others, this may also be a good thing, because he has never seen Dr. Mobius scold someone.

But this does not mean that everyone is not afraid of her. Strangely enough, in Chen Tianwu's memory, there is indeed no memory of Mobius getting angry, but as long as she is there, no matter what she is doing, reading, drinking coffee, or taking a nap... As long as she is there, there will be an indescribable coldness spreading behind everyone's neck, as if...

It seems that a huge python is staring at him from behind, silently spitting out its tongue.

However, even if these are thrown aside, when a person is talked to by a leader for no reason, even if the leader is usually amiable, it is difficult not to be nervous.

This is true for most people, but Chen Tianwu is different.

He was nervous for a moment because it is human instinct, and he was only nervous for a moment because... he didn't care.

"Have you ever thought about saving some money for yourself?"

As all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, Mebius just scratched his teeth with his index finger and gently turned the pages of the book.

"In this world where you can die at any time, saving money is the most unnecessary thing."

His voice was light, and so was Mebius. Both of them knew that it was difficult for such a topic not to affect the mood of others, so they deliberately lowered their voices.

"From a certain perspective, what you said is true. But people should always give themselves some hope. As a World Serpent cadre, the allowance for more than a year plus the reward for twenty-seven missions, before the second collapse, is enough to buy a few golf courses? Even if you save one tenth of this money, no, one percent, when the collapse is resolved, it will be enough for you to live a worry-free life for two lifetimes."

"But that doesn't make sense to me."

After Chen Tianwu's sullen response, Mebius was silent for half a minute before he spoke again:

"Night Owl, you may have misunderstood. I'm not saying that it's wrong for you to donate all this money to patients with collapse. Raven also likes to use her allowance to support children, but she still gives herself She saved enough money. Some time ago, she was clamoring to quit the World Serpent, because she had saved enough money to buy an island and live with her children for the rest of her life..."

"The day after buying the island, the Second Herrscher awakened again in the Skyport of Destiny over the White Sea, and the island she bought sank under the impact of the collapse. I saw her walk into an empty office without saying a word, and then rolled around crying inside - she even forgot that the wall of the office was transparent. "

"Puff--"

Maybe it was an illusion, Chen Tianwu seemed to hear someone laughing, but when he raised his head, Mobius was still cold, neither close nor distant, as if what happened in this world had nothing to do with her.

"That's why I said, we should wait until the collapse is over before considering how to spend the money."

Amid the sound of pages turning, Chen Tianwu's eyes blankly scanned the numbers on the paper.

What Mebius said was true. Although the World Serpents had frequent missions and could tire people to death when they were busy, the treatment was indeed generous. The partial advance payment for this mission alone was enough for him to buy a small house in Manila.

But what was the point of this?

His thoughts accidentally touched the place that changed his entire life.

He lost everything there, including his sister, and even lost the qualification to live as a "human" in the normal sense.

If there was any hard-to-give-up feeling that the name of Manila conveyed to him, it would only be the Valkyrie who only met him twice...

So, what was the point of saving so much money? His sister was gone, and he even lost his sense of smell, taste, and hunger because most of his body was connected to prosthetic limbs. He only needed to inject a nutrient solution into his neck every day to survive until the day he didn't want to live anymore. What was the point of him having money?

Just donate the money to those in need. People in China believe in "spirits in heaven". If the sister really still exists in the world as a "soul", then the kind-hearted child will definitely be proud of his brother's choice.

As for Anna... I really want to... What would happen if she knew that I had done such a good thing... But there is no chance. I don't even know why she avoided me when we met for the second time, and why she left without saying goodbye.

She is the Valkyrie of destiny, and I am a cadre of the World Serpent. There should be no chance for us to meet again...

Should be...

But Chen still felt a little unwilling. Most of the time, another idea popped up in his mind - maybe it is because I am a cadre of the World Serpent that I can survive, so I can have the possibility of seeing her again in the future, even as an enemy, even if I am killed by her, I am willing.

He didn't know why he was so obsessed with this Valkyrie who had not been with him for a long time. Maybe people still need to find a spiritual sustenance when they are alive - just like people must breathe when they are alive.

This spiritual sustenance cannot be right in front of us. If it is too easy to contact, it will not be enough to become a belief that supports it for a long time.

It cannot be a person or thing that he does not understand at all and has never come into contact with, because how can something that originally has no concept and no emotion become a sustenance?

A girl like Anna, who is beautiful enough to attract the affection of a young man, is just right.

Although this is just wishful thinking.

Holding the necklace dangling on his chest, Chen Tianwu bit his lip and shook his head silently.

He still has a brain. Although he disagrees with what Mobius said from the bottom of his heart, he will not refute anything. What he said just now is enough.

"Did that girl give it to you?"

Chen Tianwu's eyes widened a little. He didn't understand why Dr. Mobius liked to pester him so much today. What's the point?

However, if he remained silent for a long time without answering, it would only confirm the other party's speculation, and then she would ask more embarrassing questions because of the burning gossip fire - Chen certainly didn't experience this, but it was generally written like this in novels.

But when it came to responding, he didn't know how to word it. But he couldn't hold it back for too long, giving Dr. Mobius enough time to fantasize...

"Yeah."

This was the perfect answer he came up with after his brain turned over and over again.

At least the speed of answering is impeccable.

"Heh, don't try to hide anything from me... Do you think the World Serpent knows nothing about your past? In this era, it may be difficult or easy to find information about a person. Of course, the most important thing is - I know the necklace on your neck. It belongs to the Shaniyat family, right?"

"Ah?"

Chen Tianwu's doubts were not about why Dr. Mobius knew his past and why he knew the origin of the necklace. He was just confused by Mobius's gnashing attitude towards the surname "Shaniat"...

"Huh. The direct descendants of the Shaniyat family have always been sparse, but there are many hybrids. Just check which direct members have the possibility of having a destiny intersection with you. Anna Shaniyat, the captain of the Snow Lotus Team of the Tianming Southeast Asia Branch, right?"

Chen Tianwu did not speak, mainly because he really didn't know what to say at this time.

Looking at him with a sidelong glance, Mebius suddenly sneered twice without disguising:

"Haha, with your current condition, you might have Shaniat's blood in your body. But it must be very rare. It doesn't matter. I forgot to tell you that the people we are waiting for... are the Snow Lotus Team... Oh! They are here!" (End of this chapter)
