Time in a collapsing world

[I'm leaving first. As for you, just stay here. Anyway, these humans didn't find anything. At most, they just took extra precautions against you. 】

The Herrscher was a little dissatisfied with the failure of this operation, but out of caution, he did not continue to take risks and stay here.

"understood."

After receiving a response, the Herrscher nodded with satisfaction. Although he was under his control, watching this traitor obey his words was a very rare experience.

While this guy's ability has not recovered, he has to cherish this time when he can control him. When this guy becomes his own kind in the future, he will no longer be able to do whatever he wants to him.

The figure of Herrscher disappeared, and "Li" also learned from this body's past habits and came to Mebius's laboratory. Anyway, as long as he didn't run into Alicia or Aponia, he could go wherever he wanted. .

"...Little guinea pig, I just drove away that guy Alicia, and you come here to be a lobbyist? Do you really want me to attend that guy Kevin's birthday party tomorrow?"

As soon as he stepped into the laboratory, Mebius's unhappy voice reached Li's ears.

What do you mean?

After being stunned for a second, "Li" understood the general reason from the fragments in his memory, and imitated Li's tone and said: "There are so many people and it's so lively. Could it be that you don't want a lot of people to accompany you on your birthday?" Did I spend time with you?"

"Oh, then I would rather spend it alone, and... birthday? Little guinea pig, do you think people of my age would still find birthdays interesting?

"But your body is getting smaller and smaller."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, "Li" frowned and realized something was wrong. This guy would actually say such rude words?

Sure enough, as soon as he heard these words, Mebius narrowed his eyes, "Little white mouse, what did you just say?"

"...I mean, Mebius, you are getting younger and younger, and you are getting more and more beautiful."

"Li" quickly corrected his words. He couldn't cause trouble now, lest he increase the risk of being discovered.

"is it?"

Mebius stared at Li, and when he saw the sincere look on his face, he turned his head boredly, "I won't go there anyway, so just let Alicia give up."

"Oh, forget it then."

"Li" finally discovered that he couldn't completely act according to the habits of this body. This guy was too good at provoking disputes. If he didn't control it, maybe he would be surrounded and attacked by a group of people before today.

"..."

Mebius stared at "Li" in confusion.

"……What's wrong?"

"You... are a little strange today."

"? What's weird?"

"Li" suddenly became a little nervous, but still asked calmly.

"No, maybe it's an illusion..."

Mebius pointed to a chair next to him and motioned for "Li" to sit down, "Since you're here, please stay with me more. Klein and the others are not here today. It's really boring to be alone for a long time."

Then you just said you wanted to spend your birthday alone...

Although she was a little confused about the change in Mebius's attitude, "Li" still sat down on the chair obediently, with her left hand resting on the desk next to her, tapping away.

Mebius glanced at "Li"'s left hand, and then looked at his face, "Tell me, what do you want from me? Don't make excuses, I know you are not doing it for the birthday party. ...There’s no way you’re really bored enough to come over here to chat with me, right?”

I do not know either.

"Li" actually wanted to say this, because the Eighth Herrscher just let him live here for a while learning how to be Li, and look for opportunities to get in touch with the core of the Seventh Herrscher.

But why did you find Mebius? Should I say it's a habit? After all, this body used to come over whenever something happened, so "Li" also came over, but how to explain the reason?

"...What if I really came to see you?"

"Li" said bravely, for a very doubtful reason, but Mebius didn't react much and just said: "Oh, really?"

Then there was no movement.

so awkward……

But Mebius didn't speak, and "Li" was happy to be at ease, so the two of them remained silent.

"Little white mouse..."

"?"

"Can you stop rubbing your left hand on the table? The noise it makes is a little annoying."

"Huh? Oh oh..."

"Li" quickly retracted his left hand on the table, not realizing that the rubbing action of his left hand just now was not under his control.

"...By the way, little white mouse, why don't you go back tonight and sleep here." Mebius suddenly said, but this sentence sounded a little strange to "Li"'s ears.

"why?"

"Li" asked subconsciously. Even he felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart after hearing Mebius's request.

"Where did it come from? Why? Little white mouse, you just have to be obedient, right? Just like before~"

Mebius grabbed one of "Li"'s hands, "I suddenly feel that I can actually attend tomorrow's birthday party, but in exchange, you will stay here from now on and don't go anywhere~"

"No, I also suddenly feel that it's not a big deal if you don't go..."

"Li" tried to withdraw his hand and retreat, but a syringe filled with unknown liquid suddenly appeared in Mebius's other hand, and before "Li" could react, it was directly pierced into his arm. .

"!!!"

"Li" was suddenly startled and wanted to resist with all his strength, but his body instantly collapsed. Obviously, the reagent just now was not a good thing.

Mebius also let go of his hand at this moment, watching with cold eyes as "Li" gradually fell asleep, and then turned his gaze to where "Li"'s left hand was originally placed.

The Eighth Herrscher...

Although the hand did not leave any traces on the table, Mebius still judged these four words based on its movements.

"The Eighth Herrscher, what else is there?"

Mebius squatted next to "Li"'s fallen body and asked his left hand, but this time it didn't make any response. Maybe it had no power, or maybe it thought this information was enough. , so I’m too lazy to write or draw any more.

beep beep beep————

At this time, a new message was sent. Mebius glanced at it and saw that it was Alicia, and the message she sent was just enough to solve the remaining doubts in Mebius's heart.

For example, the Eighth Herrscher has appeared in the base today. His power is suspected of controlling people's hearts, and Li is one of the tragic victims.

"..."

Although he was very reluctant, Mebius took the initiative to explain his situation to Alicia and made an appointment to discuss the follow-up treatment of "Li".
