[Elysian Realm]
After waking up, Mobius looked at the Flame-Chasers in front of her without any intention of saying a word.
"Hahahaha!"
A grating laugh rang out. Mobius patted down her skirt and looked toward the source of the voice with her cold, vertical pupils.
A sharp giant spike suddenly formed beneath the owner of the voice without warning.
But the owner of the voice had clearly anticipated this and elegantly turned around to dodge the sudden attack.
Vill-V's laughter continued, completely uninterrupted by the attack just now.
Taking off her top hat, she gave Mobius an extremely elegant bow.
"Thank you, Mobius, for that magnificent performance earlier. I'm afraid that scene is something I'll never be able to forget, even until the day I die."
"Hehe. Does your Spiral Workshop want to explode again?"
Mobius asked in return. She had no intention of hiding it and directly made it clear that she was the culprit who had caused Vill-V's Spiral Workshop to explode.
"Of course not."
Even though Mobius admitted that she had done it, Vill-V, who was in a good mood after watching such a good show, showed no anger at all.
Meeting Mobius's cold gaze, she smiled.
"Of course, if Mobius can put on another performance like the one earlier, I don't mind helping you install some bombs in my workshop. I'll even give you the remote so you can detonate them yourself."
"How about it? Mobius, do you have an even better performance?"
There was anticipation on Vill-V's face. She was very much looking forward to Mobius's next performance.
Whoosh!
Mobius answered the question with an attack.
Unfortunately, she was a researcher. Although she had once fought three Flame-Chasers at the same time, her combat power was ultimately limited.
Especially without undergoing "Humanity's Self-Destruction," she couldn't make Vill-V regret what she had said today.
Not to mention that the other Flame-Chasers were present as well. Just Elysia alone was enough to make it impossible for Mobius to do anything to Vill-V, let alone with the others added in.
Standing to the side, Su watched Mobius leave.
"There's nothing unusual with her mentally."
The memory bodies only had souls, or rather, data. Apart from checking for these kinds of problems, bacteria, viruses, and other things that could infect other people simply could not infect the memory bodies.
Naturally, there was no need to check for them.
"How could there be nothing wrong?"
Elysia was very confused.
"Perhaps your senses were mistaken."
The man standing beside Su with his arms crossed, who had remained silent the whole time, spoke up.
His voice was cold and completely devoid of fluctuation.
Of course, this did not mean that he was dissatisfied with Elysia. It was simply because of his own nature.
Kevin.
The first of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, holder of the [Salvation] Signet. The Emperor-class Honkai Beast he had fused with was "Parvati," commonly known as the Ice Pig.
This also caused his body temperature to remain at around minus twenty to thirty degrees Celsius or even lower all year round.
Combined with his expression that had remained unchanged for ten thousand years, everything he did always gave people a cold feeling.
"My senses were mistaken?"
"That's normal. No one can guarantee that their judgment will always be correct."
But senses could deceive people. These eyes certainly couldn't lie.
Especially in the Elysian Realm, there were very few people who could influence a Flame-Chaser like Elysia without anyone noticing.
No! It wasn't that there were very few.
There simply wasn't anyone who could do it.
"I saw it with my own eyes!"
Elysia imitated the movements of "Mobius" from her memory. She borrowed a small knife from Su, raised it beside her face, and pointed it at Su and Kevin.
Imitating the voice "Mobius" had used at the time, she said, "This knife of mine is coated with poison!"
Lick~
"And then she just… uh! Ah! Fell down."
Watching Elysia's vivid performance, Kevin remained silent. Su rubbed his chin, wondering if Mobius had suffered some kind of stimulus.
"Do you think Mobius would normally be the kind of person to make these movements?"
Not to mention Elysia, when Su and Kevin saw Elysia's actions, if they hadn't known that she was imitating Mobius, they would have thought that something was wrong with her mentally.
Was this something a normal person could do?
Even though none of the Flame-Chasers were exactly normal, based on everyone's understanding of Mobius, she clearly wasn't someone who would do this sort of thing.
"Hahahaha!"
Vill-V slapped her thigh and laughed loudly.
"I laugh every single time I see this!"
"I can't take it anymore! I'm going back first!"
"Hahaha…"
The laughter gradually faded into the distance. Elysia blinked and turned back toward Su, who was still thinking.
"Did you think of any similar symptoms?"
Su slowly shook his head.
"If everything is as you say, the only thing we can be certain of is…"
He gazed in the direction Mobius had left.
"Her mental state may have suffered quite a serious shock."
Perhaps Shesha, besides possessing the characteristic of immortality, also had some other ability they didn't know about, causing Mobius's abnormal mental state to return to normal after sleeping.
After saying this, Su looked at the pink-haired girl in front of him and reminded her,
"For the next while, don't go bother her, to avoid any other problems."
"Okayyy…"
Elysia pouted. She could tell that Su believed Mobius's mental problems had been caused by her.
'How is that possible!'
'Uh… it seems it isn't impossible either.'
She suddenly remembered that Mobius had only gradually started going crazy after coming into contact with her.
Thinking of this, Elysia couldn't help but pause.
"Could it really be because of me?"
She was a little suspicious.

[In The Chat Group]
Levi and Kiana were discussing the food in the Luofu. His vivid descriptions of the food made Kiana, who was lying on the bed waiting for dinner, drool nonstop.
"I really want to eat it."
Kiana kept wiping away the drool at the corner of her mouth to keep it from dripping onto her pillow.
'Damn it! Two days simply weren't enough!'
She hadn't even finished trying all the food in Central Starskiff Haven.
Not to mention that the Luofu had over a hundred caverns of all sizes combined.
At the very least, it would take half a year to go through all of them.
What was even more infuriating was that Levi, that bastard, kept tempting her here!
If he were only using words, then fine. Her imagination wasn't rich enough to imagine food from just a few words.
'But this bastard!'
'He directly sent pictures!'
Although she knew there was some difference between pictures and the real thing, they still looked so appetizing.
Unfortunately, she could only look and not eat.
"Damn you, Levi!"
Kiana muttered under her breath, then opened the door and shouted toward the kitchen, "Mei, is it not ready yet? I'm starving to death."
"Then starve to death."
The sound of stir-frying was probably too loud, so Raiden Mei didn't hear Kiana's shout.
Instead, Bronya, who was playing a game at the dining table, heard her and answered on Raiden Mei's behalf.
She was full of complaints toward Kiana.
Not to mention that before leaving, she had secretly taken her weapons and equipment, then blown up a teaching building before doing anything else, almost causing her secret warehouse to be searched and confiscated.
After leaving, she then went several days without sending a single message, making Raiden Mei worry about her safety. It even made the food she cooked noticeably worse.
After coming back, before doing anything else, she first caused her newly made best friend to have an accident and end up in the physical therapy department.
With all these things added together, the fact that Bronya hadn't directly thrown a grenade into her room already counted as being generous.
