"Do you think it's funny that I'm angry?"

"No, I've followed you for many years, and this is the first time I've seen you get angry about something other than research and funding. No, to be exact, you're angry about a person. I feel like you've changed a little."

Mebius was stunned. She herself hadn't noticed that when it was brought up, she vaguely showed an expression of recognition, but the expression was only fleeting before she returned to her cold expression.

"No, it's just an illusion. Forget it quickly."

She stroked her chin, feeling that something was wrong with her, but her extremely smart brain could not come up with any results no matter how hard she tried to analyze it. Instead, the more she thought about it, the more confused she became.

Besides researching difficult problems and having damn funding, I actually have emotional fluctuations because of one person. How... is this possible?

He is obviously just a guinea pig. If I am kind enough, I can let him be my assistant.

The emerald eyes turned completely cold. This was a disgusting negative emotion that would hinder the study of evolution. I only needed absolute calmness and rationality.

Blanca sighed, knowing that the doctor's old problem had come back. He clearly wanted someone who understood him and a partner to walk with him on the road to his ideal, but he had to classify these thoughts deep in his heart as bad habits or something.

She knew that persuasion was useless, so she just pressed the headset: "Doctor, the latest news is that Dr. Ryan is on his way back."

what?

Mobius's cold expression suddenly melted away, and he inadvertently revealed a bit of joy. He walked out with a clatter, and just as he reached the door, he turned around and looked coldly at his assistant.

"Don't think too much, I'm going to settle the score with him!"

Blanca made an OK gesture, and when the figure disappeared, she covered her mouth again.

The Doctor is sometimes... really funny.

......

"How about it, is it interesting to fight alongside me?"

Ryan sat at the cabin door with his arms folded, looking at the Changkong City flying by quickly below. There was still a lot of traffic on the ground, and some military fans were holding up SLR cameras to take pictures of the helicopters in the sky.

"I just want to go back, take a good shower, and have a good sleep." Kevin held the gun and lowered his head.

He was smelly and dirty, and he hadn't shaved for a long time. He looked quite old.

In seven days, he swept through most of Neon and changed teammates several times. He couldn't remember how many Honkai beasts and death warriors he had killed.

"I understand Major Himiko's idea. We can't kill all the Honkai, and human energy is limited. Fortunately, these disasters are all in the wilderness, most of which are in forests with few people."

"That's for now. Don't think too far ahead. Just remember that we rescued more than 200 survivors. Think about how grateful they are to you."

Kevin was stunned for a moment, then laughed from the bottom of his heart: "Well, you are right."

Ryan was happy for a moment when he saw that this guy was so easily satisfied, but when he calmed down, it was of limited help to him personally.

There are not so many emperor-level Honkai beasts, most of them are just cannon fodder. Only when Ryan occasionally encounters a medium-sized Honkai beast can he gain some benefits.

"I'm just sitting around anyway, so I'll take even a small piece of cake. I've also practiced energy shaping in actual combat. This thing is a piece of cake when it comes to beating ordinary Honkai beasts. And how should I put it... I feel a little satisfied?"

Ryan took a deep breath and finally understood why being a hero was addictive. Fortunately, he was rational by nature, so he put all these boring glories behind him.

It's almost time...

Glancing at the military base in the distance, he still had an idea of ​​hiding from Mobius. He could still get some small meals outside, but staying with that woman was clearly like working with a loan and being a data entry tool.

Confiscating the Far East branch's money is considered to be an act of justice to them. Besides, this cooperation is quite pleasant, and it will be easier for me to do things within the Fire Moth in the future, as long as those other bastards don't take the opportunity to mess with me.

Listening to Kevin's snoring, Ryan had a blank expression on his face.

He had no intention of getting involved in the power struggle, as long as these people didn't get in his way.

Ryan has also thought about the next arrangements. He has no intention of being a free tool for the Far East Branch, nor does he want to go to Mu Continent for research.

"It's time to go to Canghai City, but before leaving, I have to get my salary back."

The helicopter began to hover. Ryan, who was in deep thought, frowned and saw two familiar figures next to the helipad.

The wind from the blades blew their long hair and white coats. May and Mebius stood together, staring at each other expressionlessly.

"You haven't finished your imaginary number detection project yet, so how come you have the time to come out for a walk?"

"That fusion experiment hasn't been completed yet. You are embarrassed to ask me?" Mei glanced at her and warned her in a deep voice, "Don't attack Kevin. Don't think I don't know where the first successful material came from."

When Ryan was doing the fusion cell experiment, due to trial and error, only the last one was immediately successful. Mebius only said that it came from someone in Mu Continent.

"I see. You didn't want me to catch your boyfriend, so you were so considerate to help me. I forgot that Kevin doesn't have any background. If I apply to the higher-ups and let him be my guinea pig..."

Mebius suddenly closed her mouth. She felt a sense of terror emanating from the woman next to her and her eyes rolled.

"Don't worry, Kevin has no background there, but he's not someone you can just touch. For example, he's the future director of the First Research Institute, and even more so, he's a powerful man that I can't understand."

"Are you so afraid of Ryan?" Mei turned her head in surprise. In her impression, no one could control Mebius.

"I can't say I'm afraid of him, but I feel very conflicted. I want to throw him on the operating table, but I can't do it and it feels a pity. If I piss him off, I'll feel very unwilling. It's just this kind of conflicting emotion."

Mebius sighed, looked at the helicopter getting closer and closer, held his forehead, then glanced to the side and saw May pinching his chin with a look of concentration.

"What are you thinking about? I said I wouldn't do anything to your little boyfriend."

"I'm not thinking about you." Mei maintained her wise look and slowly raised her head: "I seem to have some clues about this contradictory feeling of disdain and unwillingness."

"Oh? Quantum mechanics also studies these things. Tell me about them." Möbius looked as if I was about to refute him.

"It has nothing to do with that. It's just that I once had the same idea. Is there a possibility..." Mei looked at Mebius with strange eyes, which made the latter feel goosebumps all over. He spoke tentatively as if he was defending a thesis.

"Are you kind of in love with him?"

Chapter 39: Foolish and Unhappy

Amid the whirring sound of the oars, Mebius fully demonstrated his good quality of bold conjecture. Fortunately, Mebius was not an ordinary person, and he could not jump three feet high like a young girl.

The strange expression on her face froze for a moment. At first, it seemed as if she didn't understand what Mei was saying. Then she instinctively wanted to open her mouth to refute, and finally she fell into deep thought.

As a mature scientist, she would of course think carefully when faced with a problem, but she could not come up with an answer no matter how hard she thought.

"I just feel that he has been promoted from a guinea pig. This change comes from value. Ryan can indeed help me do a lot of things. Although he makes me angry sometimes, we get along well in general. You see—"

Mebius stretched out his slender index finger and counted them one by one. "He is well-educated, can help with research, understands my ideals, can provide great value, and can also serve as a bodyguard and hunt for materials for me. He is simply a perfect tool."

"Tool? Are you going to discard it after squeezing out all its value?"

"I can't bear to let him go. I feel like this is a treasure trove that I can never drain. I even have a feeling that if I keep pestering him, I can reach the last step."

Mebius suddenly became interested, and Mebius shook his head silently. This really seemed familiar. He thought he could solve all problems with reason.

“That’s why I emphasized that.”

"Whatever you say, I'm just worried that this guy is out of control. I have to think of a way to deal with him." Mobius looked down on him and gently played with his long hair. "So don't use your experience to guess me. I'm different from you mortals."

Different? I'm afraid you're just not as stubborn as me. Who would miss a tool every day? Who would run to the headquarters to watch when they heard Ryan and Adiedo were fighting?

If you put your heart into a tool, it’s no longer a tool.

Mei's mouth curled up quietly, not wanting to quarrel with this woman, and she only said: "If one day, when you are desperate, sad, or extremely excited, the first person you think of is him, then think about this problem again."

What does that represent?

Mobius' smile froze, and before he could think deeply about this topic, the helicopter had already landed on the ground.

Ryan was the first to jump out of the hatch, and he saw Mebius and May standing not far away chatting. They were both intellectually beautiful, with the same long flowing hair and the same black leather shoes. Just by standing there, they attracted everyone's attention.

"Why are you two so close?" Ryan came forward, focusing more on Mebius. "It would be a blessing for mankind if you two could work together."

"Who has a good relationship with her? It just happened that we ran into each other. This woman came to pick up her boyfriend."

"Then what are you doing here?"

Ryan asked casually, and Mabius froze in place, realizing a problem he had overlooked.

Yes, that's what I'm here for.

Mei came to greet her boyfriend. Why did I come up here when I wasn't busy with the experiment? I knew that this bastard was very shrewd and it would be completely useless even if I tried to please him. So why did I come here?

"Psycho." Ryan snorted unhappily when he saw Mebius in a daze, then looked at the tall girl next to him, "I brought Kevin back to you in one piece. Although he looks miserable, he didn't suffer any serious injuries. He will be back to full strength soon after a good rest."

Mei had actually seen Kevin, who was leaning against the cabin door, which made her feel nervous. She only felt relieved when she heard Ryan's words.

"Thank you. I also hope he grows up quickly. Time is running out."

"Have you made a breakthrough in your research?"

"It was a small step. I looked up the confidential papers of the Fire Moth, and then used a particle collider to observe the imaginary space. Although it was only a brief glimpse, I gained something."

Ryan nodded in annoyance. These days he had been acting as a tool and hunter and had no time to do the research that he was best at.

"So what did you see?"

"Infinite space, incalculable energy, but after my calculations, this space seems to be clearly divided, just like the positive and negative poles, entangled with each other and repelling each other."

Trees and sea?

These two words suddenly popped up in Ryan's mind, but he knew that now was not the time to talk about this.

Mei could only guess through calculations and could not even observe it, let alone witness it with his own eyes.

"Send the calculation results to my encrypted email. I'll take a good look at it when I have time." Ryan saw May making an OK gesture and shouted to the person behind him, "Kevin, May is here to pick you up!"

Soon, the young man who was snoring suddenly woke up, sat up immediately, turned his head, and saw his girlfriend whom he had been thinking about day and night. His face suddenly brightened up, and Mei also came forward.

The two held hands next to the helicopter, looking affectionate and as if they had a lot to say.

hiccup~~~

Ryan suddenly felt full, but he was also happy for Kevin because the latter had always been afraid that he could not keep up with May. The gap in learning ability between the two was too big.

But now Kevin has found his own value. In the face of collapse, warriors and scholars are equally important.

"Mei is like a sheath. As long as she is still here, Kevin's knife may be cold, but it will never be evil."

Ryan smiled, and thought about where his scabbard was. He happened to catch a glimpse of Mebius out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly had the urge to slap himself.

This woman is not a scabbard at all, she is clearly a black-hearted capitalist, the kind who will be like a street lamp at night.

"So you came here specifically to get some fresh air by the runway?"

Mebius woke up with a start, rolled his eyes, and showed a slightly cunning smile: "No, I came to see if my lovely assistant is missing any limbs. If he becomes a human stick, wouldn't it be a good deal for me?"

Ryan glanced up and down at the other person. He was a giant girl with black stockings and long flowing hair. It was a pity that he had an extra mouth. He was really good at being sarcastic.

"Looking at you, I remembered a joke."

"What joke?"
