"No, didn't you ask this question first?
While it didn't explicitly say it was to marry Tian Shi and have children, isn't that a tacit condition?"
MEI couldn't help but be speechless at Mobius's reaction.
To be honest... it seems that after meeting Tian Shi, Mobius's IQ drops intermittently.
So, Mobius sighed.
"At least you thought of giving up, but for me, it's absolutely impossible for me to give up."
Mobius sighed again.
"I want human beings to evolve.
Although this is just my childhood dream, it is also my goal."
Mobius looked at Tian Shi across the table.
"I can't give up, of course..."
Mobius didn't know if someday Tian Shi would ask her to give up this goal, would she give up.
So Mobius changed the subject.
"It should be said that the two of us are so outstanding that it's impossible for us to truly put down our careers, but Hua is different."
Mobius's tone was inexplicably unhappy.
"She is a truly ordinary girl.
If there had been no Honkai and no Tian Shi, Hua would have been the kind of ordinary person who would have had a normal life."
Although "ordinary" has some meaning, to be honest, even if there was no Honkai, she and MEI would become top-notch scientists; at most, their research would no longer be so persistent.
What?
You're asking what if there's no Tian Shi?
She can't be without him.
"So, Hua can be a good wife and a good mother at home without any pressure, but the two of us can only choose to leave the child for Tian Shi to take care of after thinking about it."
"Dr. Mobius, please don't assume that you and the doctor are married and have children."
"You have an unexpected revenge."
The corners of Mobius's mouth twitched.
"It's just that I just seized the opportunity."
MEI replied lightly.
"However, maybe it's really as you said, Dr. Mobius, it may be really difficult for the two of us to be good mothers."
"Do you think you can be a good wife?"
Mobius stared at MEI.
"No matter what, I can cook."
MEI said with a deadpan face.
After entering junior high school, she no longer needed Tian Shi to prepare her midnight snacks.
By now, MEI's cooking skills have been very good, should she be said to be worthy of her reputation?
"…"
MEI's answer made Mobius's lips twitch, because to be honest, she really didn't know how to cook.
Probably to the point where you won't die from eating it, probably, after all, she hadn't learned much about cooking.
Mobius looked at Tian Shi with some resentment.
"Why are you looking at me?"
Tian Shi looked inexplicable.
"I was just raising a child."
"No, I just think you educated me so well back then that I don't even know how to cook now."
"Is that my fault?"
Tian Shi was speechless.
"Mobius, what gave you the illusion that you would cook yourself when I wasn't there?
You would definitely order takeout."
"…"
High-level dismantling.
"Forget it, anyway, then we are similar, right?"
Mobius said with a smirk.
In this regard, MEI did not comment, although MEI was not prepared to admit this kind of thing, she couldn't deny that there was nothing wrong with what Mobius said.
Except for some places, the two are quite similar.
"What do you want to do?"
"It's nothing, an offensive and defensive alliance."
Mobius walked over and invited.
"Although I feel very awkward about this kind of thing, to be fair, it's better for me to form an alliance with you than to form an alliance with Hua."
"Hey, hey, hey!
Is it really good to do this kind of thing in front of me?"
Tian Shi couldn't help but have the corner of his mouth twitch when he saw the scene in front of him.
"Isn't this kind of thing usually done behind my back?"
"Because... you want to take down the mountain and shake the tiger?"
"Although I don't know who the mountain is, the tiger must be me.
I'm really thankful for not killing chickens to warn monkeys."
Tian Shi said with a deadpan face.
MEI, on the other hand, fell into contemplation.
I have to say, this proposal from Mobius is quite exciting for MEI.
But... you're not on a low level of danger either!
Why didn't Mobius form an offensive and defensive alliance with her big sister Hua?
Obviously, Mobius also felt that her big sister Hua was difficult to deal with.
So why choose her?
Do you think she's easy to deal with?
Although MEI was a little dissatisfied with Mobius's choice, it was still before the return; MEI was a little moved.
"After all, I don't know when Tian Shi will disappear again.
Trust me, when he appears again, he will definitely bring a woman."
Mobius saw the intent on MEI's face and immediately made everything clear.
"Is he appearing again... To be honest, about this..."
MEI turned to look at Tian Shi.
"What's wrong, is there a problem?"
Tian Shi looked at MEI with some doubt.
"About your appearance... Dr. Mobius is nothing, I was not born twenty-eight years ago, but my big sister..."
MEI pushed up her glasses with a questioning look on her face.
"Theoretically, your time with me should be contradictory to big sister Hua's, right?
Is there a problem?"
"As long as I can't observe my own existence, there is no problem; of course, other aspects also need to be avoided, but compared to directly observing, it is a minor matter."
"Observing..."
MEI fell into contemplation, while Mobius looked at MEI speechlessly.
This chick actually thought about this kind of thing in this atmosphere, although Mobius had to admit that she was also very concerned about this kind of thing.
"Doctor, can I make a guess that you exist in different spaces and time points in this world, but for some reason, you can't observe or interfere with these... No, can I make another guess, your timeline is not the same as ours?"
MEI remembered that when she participated in the academic seminar on the Mu continent, Tian Shi had no idea about Mobius at all, but now it happened all of a sudden.
There must be a reason for this.
"I can make a bold guess, according to the current information, the first person on your timeline should be Dr. Mobius, the second is big sister Hua, and the third is Kevin and me, right?"
As expected of one of the most intelligent people in the world.
"Correct."
Tian Shi's answer did not trigger the system's warning.
Because all of this was deduced by MEI herself, it didn't mean much for Tian Shi to say whether it was right or wrong, MEI already knew it in her heart.
Although it's not entirely correct, but according to MEI's existing information, this is the case.
MEI nodded, with an "as expected" expression on her face.
"Then if you continue this inference... there should be some kind of limitation on you... I'm sorry, it's not something I can easily understand in the future."
MEI gave up halfway through her deduction.
She had the right confidence in the previous inference, but when it comes to the limitations of this inexplicable phenomenon, MEI has no confidence at all.
"That's it, so it's very important for me to avoid the possibility of a conflict."
MEI nodded wisely.
And Mobius was surprised.
"You, you chick are really more evil than I thought."
"No, this has nothing to do with intelligence."
"This kind of contradiction is too obvious, as long as you make assumptions within a reasonable range, it is easy to find that what I said is the most likely."
MEI said lightly.
"Besides, this kind of research is actually meaningless to us, after all, this kind of power that can wander in different times and spaces is beyond our ability to understand."
"Well, if you say so..."
"Indeed, only your inference is the most likely, but I thought you would be very fanatical about this kind of thing and want to study it."
Mobius sighed.
This girl is a little more evil than she imagined.
"I fully understand where my limits are, and this phenomenon can no longer be explained by existing science, although the existence of the Doctor itself cannot be explained by existing science."
MEI said with a deadpan face.
"For us, whose limit is only 10, we don't have to try to study things of 100 or 1000, if we really don't understand something, we can temporarily say it's because of the Honkai."
"Where do you think Honkai comes from?"
Although what MEI said is very reasonable (blaming inexplicable things on the Honkai), Tian Shi still wanted to complain.
As for the system, although Tian Shi himself was also very puzzled about the origin of this thing, but as MEI said, if the limit is only 10, don't try to study things 100 or 1000.
It's not bad for now anyway.
"Blame?
What a good metaphor!"
Before MEI said anything, Mobius nodded in agreement.
"But since this research is meaningless, let's get down to business: Offensive and Defensive Alliance, what do you think?"
"I can't find a reason to refuse."
After pondering for a moment, MEI took the hand that Mobius extended.
"You guys are really doing this in front of me."
Tian Shi grimaced and suddenly had an idea.
"By the way, MEI, you can ask Hua to form an alliance against Mobius.
I believe that because you are her younger sister, MEI will not refuse."
"???"
Mobius looked at Tian Shi with resentment.
Are you stabbing me in the back?
"Finding big sister... is a good idea."
Assuming, that she uses the title of "Master", 80% of the time her big sister will not refuse.
"MEI, do you believe such an obvious provocation?"
"I trust it."
MEI answered without hesitation.
"…"
The so-called offensive and defensive alliance could dissolve in less than ten seconds.
Mobius stared at MEI in front of her, she just didn't know what to say.
After all, although she is MEI's senior, in terms of feelings, this identity is obviously not as good as that of a master or a sister.
It's better to blame this guy!
Mobius gave Tian Shi a "ruthless" look.
"Don't look at me with such resentment all the time, it makes me look like I've been in the chaos and abandoned you."
"If you give up, then there is no real chaos."
Ah... in a way, there's no way to refute it.
"You're making this difficult for me..."
Tian Shi's eyes wandered.
"Then let's skip it for now... The Doctor doesn't want our relationship to deteriorate.
It's not difficult to understand, right?"
MEI said to Mobius.
"Besides, I don't understand at all, Dr. Mobius, why you are in such a hurry."
"..."
You don't understand, do you?
Mobius said angrily.
"MEI, how old are you this year?"
"Sixteen."
"I'm twenty-eight years old!
I'll be thirty in two years!"
Mobius said a little frantically.
MEI feels truly incredible seeing the image of a calm and strong woman like Mobius going crazy.
"You don't understand the pain of an older woman at all--!
There's a word called [fading beauty with age], do you understand?"
"That word has nothing to do with you, Dr. Mobius..."
Having said that, MEI still felt some sympathy for Mobius.
"But, then again, as long as you don't say it, no one will think you're the thirty-something type?
At most, you'll look twenty-four or twenty-five."
Although she knew that the other party was older than her in the world of scientific research, in fact, without mentioning it, MEI wouldn't have noticed that the green-haired beauty in front of her was actually twelve years older than her.
"Well, that's true."
At the very least, Mobius was quite confident in her face.
"But it's useless... What if someone who is as beautiful as you and younger comes out one day?"
Mobius said while looking at MEI.
"…"
This cannot be refuted at all.
No, even Mobius's words gave MEI a slight anxiety disorder.
It's a completely bad situation, right?
As beautiful as you, but, someone younger than you.
"It is possible that she has a more pleasant personality than yours."
Mobius looked at the expression on MEI's face and silently made up for it.
"I'm just asking you, what should you do in this situation?
Don't tell me you're going to raise your hand and give up?"
"That's quite worrying."
MEI was persuaded.
She would also be anxious about this situation.
Especially Mobius's last sentence, which was the last straw.
MEI is very clear that her personality is really not the type that people like.
In other words, the word "pleasant" has nothing to do with her, a researcher who is taciturn most of the time.
If you really want to say it, MEI has only had three people she can talk to from childhood to adulthood, not counting her parents: Tian Shi, Kevin, Su.
However, although Kevin and Su are more afraid of her, they are brothers and sisters.
With this relationship, they get along quite well and can talk more.
Well, now there's one more Mobius.
In the future, will someone with a lovable personality emerge... um, like Miss Elysia.
That's too worrying.
