"Do you need to see the doctor? She's in the inner lab."
Möbius's doctoral office was divided into inner and outer layers. The inner layer was the core area where all of Möbius's important experiments and even data were stored, while the outer layer was the area where employees and assistants worked, mainly organizing documents and doing odd jobs.
"The professor is conducting an important experiment, and I..."
Klein had intended to report to Mebius first, but Alicia rushed straight towards the inner laboratory, catching her off guard.
"Click~"
The door to the inner laboratory was pushed open, and everything inside was instantly visible.
A voluptuous, mature woman with green hair was standing very close to a young man with black hair, her fair hand resting on his body...
"Honestly, didn't I tell you not to let anyone in?"
Stopping what he was doing, Möbius showed a slight displeasure, glanced at Alicia, and subtly pulled down the hem of his shirt. "Alicia~ when did you forget that you need to knock before entering someone else's room?"
The pink-haired fat lady blushed slightly upon hearing this, realizing that she was indeed in the wrong.
Although she and Möbius did have a good relationship, as an experimental research institution, she would have always sought Möbius's opinion before coming to him. This time, she barged in directly, which, to put it more seriously, even violated the rules and regulations of the Moth of Fire.
Alicia said rather guiltily:
"I have something important to discuss with Jiang Qiao!"
"Hmph, forget it. I'm in a good mood today, so I won't pursue this matter." Möbius looked the former up and down with a half-smile, chuckled, and then waved his hand: "I've already used him up for now. If you want to take him, then take him."
Alicia didn't think much of it. Although it did have a somewhat suggestive tone, given Alicia's innocence, it was still a long way from her understanding its meaning.
Furthermore, in Mebius's style, the so-called "used up" is more like saying "this lab rat's value has been squeezed dry," or "it's useless now," which is quite ruthless!
"There's a really strange smell in the air." The fairy Ellie, who had flown to Jiang Qiao's side, suddenly frowned and couldn't help but complain.
It feels almost like some kind of flower...
Speaking of which... what flower smells so strange?
Upon hearing this, Möbius's cheeks flushed slightly, but he remained composed, leaning back on the table and coughing twice.
"This is a biology lab, is it strange if it smells?"
Alicia looked completely unconvinced.
She often visited Möbius's laboratory and had smelled even stranger odors before. Although this smell was indeed somewhat...familiar, the pink-haired fat lady, who wasn't as enthusiastic about this as some white fluffy ball, obviously couldn't make the connection.
Come to think of it, when I traveled around the world in the past, I seemed to occasionally smell this kind of odor when passing by trash cans. Hmm... I guess it's the smell of trash cans?
I glanced at the trash can subconsciously, but unfortunately, apart from crumpled paper balls and reagent bottles, there didn't seem to be anything suspicious inside.
"Let's go, Jiang Qiao."
After Alicia dragged Jiang Qiao away, Klein, who had followed her in, felt somewhat guilty:
"I'm sorry, Doctor, I couldn't stop her."
“It doesn’t matter… Klein, process the research materials in this beaker.” Möbius, exhaling a few breaths of stale air, turned on the ventilation fan in the laboratory and then handed a beaker to Klein.
“Okay…uh…” Klein stared blankly for a moment when he saw a full beaker of viscous white liquid that smelled of some kind of flowers. He looked at Möbius with a surprised expression. At this moment, Möbius’s face was unusually rosy and his eyes had a hint of 'seductiveness' that was theoretically impossible to see.
The white lab coat and her usual green undershirt were incredibly disheveled and torn. Alicia might not notice, but as Möbius's assistant, Klein could immediately tell something was wrong. And the black pantyhose the Doctor often wore... aside from a few holes, you could vaguely see a tear in the crucial area... With Klein's intelligence, it was easy for her to deduce that there was likely a significant hole there...
These clothes were perfectly fine before.
There were also many unusual damp patches on the ground... and combined with the large beaker in his hand, Klein's mouth dropped open: "Doctor, you..."
She certainly couldn't have any experience, but her expertise in the field of biotechnology was undeniable, which allowed her to become Möbius's assistant.
Even if you've never eaten pork, you've at least seen pigs run... but in this situation...
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Gently pressing his slightly weak thigh, Möbius, sitting in the chair, raised his eyebrows and stared at Klein with a dangerous look—"Do you have a problem?" The latter twitched the corners of his mouth, somewhat helplessly.
"Doctor, let me mend your clothes for you." Klein sighed, not paying much attention. Although it was indeed somewhat 'surprising,' it wasn't anything strange.
After all, the PhD is quite old. Most of the other people in the organization would be mothers by now, so it's not surprising that this situation has occurred.
“Hehe~ I want the snake pattern.” Mebius smiled happily—then leaned back a bit… Although from a biological point of view, it was quite ‘stupid’ and ‘meaningless’, and in the past she thought it was just like ‘monkey mating’, but she had to admit… it was indeed a little comfortable, just like ‘Alicia’s’ massage.
Occasionally doing this makes my whole body feel relaxed and stretched out. Hmm~ If I had to point out a downside, it would probably be a slightly sore lower back and a slightly bloated stomach...
Well, it doesn't matter anymore.
While Snake was enjoying the afterglow of the moment, Alicia, who was carrying Jiang Qiao away from the lab, took her to the cafeteria—she was starving!
"Is there something important you want to see me about?"
Sitting at the dining table, she could feel the gazes around her—after all, Alicia was undoubtedly a big star in the organization, and many people in the organization had their eyes on this 'socially awkward' girl. But to be honest, this was the first time she had ever eaten with a boy like this, and they were acting quite intimately.
Well, the event was quite lively today. First, Dr. Mebius, whose reputation was extremely poor, seemed to be enjoying a resurgence, and then Alicia, whose reputation was the best, appeared to have found someone she was extremely close to...
Of course, Jiang Qiao clearly didn't care about such discussions and stares; he was just curious and kept Alicia's words in mind.
"no!"
"Uh..."
"Can't I contact you unless it's something important?!" Alicia bit her metal spoon, glaring fiercely at the former who was caught off guard by the answer.
"That's not true."
"Hmph~" Alicia smiled slightly—you little rascal Jiang Qiao, you know what's good for you!
"What did Mebius want with you?"
Out of curiosity, the pink-haired chubby lady asked the question—well, definitely out of curiosity!
"Given Möbius's personality, what do you think she would do if she asked me to come over?"
"Just to assist with some experiments." As he said this, Jiang's expression was inscrutable.
Of course, Alicia didn't notice, but nodded knowingly.
Indeed, given Möbius's personality, she would certainly be more concerned about the experiments.
Regarding the experiment...
"...You switched places with her?"
As if she had thought of something, Alicia smiled and looked at Jiang Qiao.
The latter is concise and to the point:
"Needed for the experiment."
Of course, this is actually more like an 'experience' or a 'test'.
Unfortunately, like Alicia, Mebius is not the type to use other people's bodies effectively.
Even if you obtain [Jiang Qiao], its effect will be extremely limited.
The ability to switch bodies is not something that can be understood in a short time. As for the byproducts, the 'newborn Herrscher power', even as an ordinary human, Mebius would find it difficult to know how to use them in a short period of time. After all, she is just a researcher, not a warrior.
Researching Jiang Qiao will be a long process... but Snake says this ability is quite fun, in every sense of the word.
For example, some novel experiences.
Of course, it's just an experience. Mebius can only say that compared to his own body, the novel experience was really nothing special, especially after some things were taken away, the negative feelings that came with it made Mebius quite uncomfortable.
Therefore, this exchange was extremely brief; it was merely a test of this capability.
After all, Mebius is of great importance to the Fire Moth, unlike Alicia, she finds it difficult to be away from the Fire Moth for an extended period of time.
It would be very uncomfortable to have something removed, and it's not as comfortable as having your own body. In addition, the laboratory can't do without 'Mebius's' face. If it's not necessary, Mebius would certainly not choose to use Jiang Qiao's body.
Why not just bring it over when we really need it?
Plug and play, emphasizing convenience.
...for experimental purposes.
The words echoed in her ears as the pink-clad girl, a rib dangling from her lips and a smile on her face, grinned.
"Click——"
It seems... something broke?
Chapter 215 I Will Attack in Alicia Form
In a less-than-ideal mood, Alicia chewed her ribs absentmindedly, or rather, to be more precise—she only chewed the bones, the grating crunching sounds sending chills down one's spine, as if she were chewing not pork ribs, but someone else.
Crumble it! Crumble it all!
The pink-haired, chubby lady, with her cheeks puffed out, demonstrated what it means to 'eat people without spitting out the bones'.
Alicia had actually gotten somewhat used to Jiang Qiao swapping bodies with other girls... well, she was actually quite angry, but there was nothing she could do about it.
After all, when Jiang Qiao's ability is used to cause trouble, he himself doesn't know when or with whom he will switch. As for the method of actively switching... without a doubt, that's what makes Miss Alicia so angry.
Is it because my body isn't good enough for me, Ellie? Why do I have to use other girls' bodies—especially just now, when Mebius actually managed to take advantage of me.
After Jiang Qiao arrived, Alicia was always keeping a close eye on her. It was fine at other times, but when she was with me—don't even think about it, I won't give other women a chance!
I'm so angry that it turned out like this!
The good news is that this is just for the purpose of the experiment. In order to fight the Honkai and save the world, such a sacrifice is necessary. Although it may make Alicia feel a little discouraged, she will still understand... Hmph!
