Chapter 67: How many good things are you hiding from me?
In Dr. Mei's initial conception, Ai Yue's best option at the moment is to directly defect from the Fire Moth and rely on Prometheus's powerful ability to establish his own power. With his ability, as long as he does not deliberately stir up disasters, under the premise of fighting against the Honkai, this matter will probably end with the result of "recruitment."
Although it is ironic, this is indeed the reality—only when a person shows great harm will he be truly taken seriously and receive treatment that matches him.
But if Ai Yue really chooses to return to the Fire Moth, then...
"You don't have to worry. These things are all within Dr. Ai Yue's consideration." Prometheus seemed to understand Dr. Mei's concerns and continued, "Moreover, you don't need to excuse Dr. Ai Yue. You can even put all the blame on him—these are Dr. Ai Yue's original words."
"What on earth does he want to do?" Dr. Mei was stunned for a moment, then showed an annoyed expression, "Won't this only make things worse? And you want me to throw dirty water on Ai Yue, I can't do it."
Even if we put aside Ai Yue's contribution to defeating the Herrscher, he is also a person who has done Dr. Mei a favor. Just because he was able to solve Kevin's extremely low body temperature, she cannot allow herself to be the one who takes advantage of the situation.
She didn't know why Ai Yue said such words, but she always felt that she was looked down upon.
"Don't worry about it, Dr. Mei." Prometheus continued, "You can even say that if there is any way to solve this problem once and for all, then this is the only way. Just do it."
After saying this, Prometheus ended the communication.
Once and for all?
Dr. Mei looked at the screen of her mobile phone after it went out, and couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful expression.
She vaguely realized that what Ai Yue had done before was nothing compared to what he was going to do next.
While things were in chaos outside due to various reasons, Ai Yue's side seemed very harmonious.
When Mobius opened her eyes, her gaze fell on him.
Ai Yue sat against the wall and threw the white coat in his hand to Mobius, who was naked because she had just been resurrected.
"Awake?" Ai Yue pointed at the remains of the Eighth Herrscher beside him, "Why don't you add some inventory while no one is watching you?"
What he was talking about was, of course, the Herrscher gene sample that Mobius had kept privately.
"How can you be so patient?" Mobius put on her white coat and looked at Ai Yue with a strange look in her eyes. "I thought when I opened my eyes I would see you lying on the body of the Herrscher and refusing to get down."
She felt a little guilty when she said this—because that's how she was at the beginning.
"Am I a pervert?" Ai Yue responded with a subtle expression, "Of course, it's mainly because I have already collected everything I wanted to collect. Otherwise, it might be similar to what you imagined."
"So fast?" Mobius was stunned for a moment. "Wait, I was curious before. You don't seem to have any storage space on you. How can you always take out all kinds of things?"
After Ai Yue took off his white coat, he was wearing a very simple long-sleeved shirt underneath. There weren't even many pockets on it, so how could he put anything in it?
She didn't even see the "Pikachu" that scared her. Where does this guy usually hide it?
Mobius's eyes scanned Ai Yue repeatedly, finally focusing on the opponent's belt.
If there is anything suspicious, it is this exquisite-looking belt buckle.
This guy has no taste in clothes at all. How could he buy himself such a nice belt?
"Oh, we've finally been discovered?" Ai Yue smiled slightly, with no intention of hiding it, "It's a little later than I thought."
Ai Yue casually waved his hand in front of the belt buckle, and a familiar golden light flashed. In an instant, a gun appeared in his hand. It was Pikachu.
"This is it!" Mobius pounced on him instantly, grabbing his belt buckle and studying it carefully. "Space expansion storage item? When the hell did you figure this out?"
"It hasn't been long, and it's only the first generation of the product. It has many shortcomings and cannot be mass-produced." Ai Yue put his hand on the other person's head, trying to push her away. "Don't do it. This thing is controlled by mental waves. You can't use it."
Mental wave frequency is a theory proposed after the emergence of psycho-perceptive fusion warriors. It is that some unique mental fluctuations can be regarded as the "pulse" of the mind. Since everyone's mental wave frequency is different, it can also be used in the identification system, which is safer than other biometric technologies.
But this thing is currently only Ai Yue's patent, and others can't even understand what mental wave frequency is.
"I have cleared all the Honkai beasts around the building, and they are ready to go out at any time..." At this moment, Aponia floated over, looking at the strange postures of the two people, and couldn't help but frowned, "What are you doing?"
"It's just researching equipment, nothing special." Mobius stood up immediately and turned to look at the Eighth Herrscher. "Well, I'll study the Herrscher for a bit more. Give me five minutes."
When she came, she did not forget to bring a small toolbox. Although all her clothes were blown away, the toolbox was still lying in the corner intact.
"Kevin and the others are approaching, let's wait for a while." Ai Yue still sat there without moving, just patted the ground next to him, "You've worked hard, let's take a rest?"
"No..." Aponia shook her head subconsciously, but immediately reacted. She glanced at Mobius, then walked towards Ai Yue, "Well, I am indeed a little tired."
The nun sat next to Ai Yue, resting her head on his shoulder, and couldn't help but smile.
Ai Yue didn't say anything, because he had closed his eyes at this moment, as if he was asleep.
The continuous high-intensity mental consumption made him a little unable to hold on. If the effect of "Aponia's Embrace" had not continued, Ai Yue would probably have fainted at this moment.
About fifteen minutes later, the Fusion Warrior Squad finally arrived at the building, and on the roof of the building, a plane from the Fire Moth was waiting for them.
"This is actually true..." Kevin couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the Herrscher's body that was placed in a special preservation device. "But, how did you do it?"
Since joining the Fire Moth, Kevin has hardly missed any battle against the Herrscher, but he never expected that one day he would become a supporting role.
Of course, he didn't care about it, he just wanted to know how Ai Yue and others did it.
"Don't worry about the details for now." Ai Yue sat between Aponia and Mobius, "Before returning to the Fire Moth, I have something to tell you."
