Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 418: First meeting, Dr. Mobius

"Well, last question then."

Jiang Ming tactfully did not mention his previous remarks, but only reminded Alicia that she could start asking the last question, which also represented the separation of the two.

Alicia hugged her waist with her left hand, rested her chin with her right hand, closed her eyes tightly, and put on a thoughtful look. She didn't seem to feel uncomfortable because of the previous remarks: "Then..."

He immediately opened his eyes, revealing a half-inch-long brilliance: "Can I also learn your cosmic rules?"

"Haha, it's not difficult for you to learn, but it's very difficult to find the right one for you."

The smile on Jiang Ming's face slowly faded, his expression returned to calm, and he thought about the cosmic rules that were suitable for Alicia. After a long time, he shook his head with regret in his tone.

"I don't think I have any cosmic rules that are suitable for you. You can't practice cosmic rules casually. If you don't have the corresponding talent, it will be counterproductive and your cultivation will not improve. Let me find the cosmic rules that are suitable for you in the future."

"That's it..."

"If you don't have anything to ask right now, why not leave this question for later? I'm sure you'll have more questions the next time we meet, and it won't be too late to ask then."

Jiang Ming smiled and extended his right hand to Alicia. The latter looked down at the boy's snow-white right hand, then also smiled and extended her right hand to shake hands with Jiang Ming.

"Ok?"

Although she did not feel anything unusual in her body, the girl felt as if a warm current was flowing into her body, which made all the cold sweat she had produced in the battle with the Second Herrscher disappear. She felt as if a huge vitality was nourishing her body, making her moan with comfort.

It was not until the girl moaned and reacted that he embarrassedly covered his thin lips with his left hand. A blush appeared on his smooth white cheeks, and then he carefully pulled his hand out.

Jiang Ming chuckled and tilted his head: "It's rare that you would act so shy."

Alicia puffed her lips, her tone sounding somewhat resentful: "Even I would make a pleasant sound when I encounter something pleasant. What did you do just now? It feels like all the fatigue of the past ten years has dissipated. Anyway, well...anyway, I just feel very comfortable."

"That is also a kind of cosmic rule, called life. Besides this, you should also feel the warmth in your body, right? That is another way to protect you in the future. I know you are powerful and beautiful, gorgeous and elegant, but as the saying goes, things are unpredictable. Please accept my gift."

After a pause, Jiang Ming continued: "Of course, if possible, I hope that this gift will never show its power."

Having said that, Jiang Ming seemed to suddenly remember something and activated the rules of the universe once again. The place where only flesh, blood and bone residue were left before seemed to be rapidly flowing backwards.

After just a dozen breaths, the little bit of flesh and blood and bone residue gradually recovered, and the bones continued to connect, and soon the outline of a body took shape. The blood vessels, muscles, skin, brain... almost all the body tissues and parts were recovering. After another two breaths, the body of the Second Herrscher appeared in front of the two.

"The corpse of the Second Herrscher must be a valuable research material for the Fire-Chasing Moth. If you hand it over, you will probably gain more benefits."

"I'm afraid the next time we meet will be after the third collapse. Although I want to change the fate of this civilization, the best time has not yet come. We still need to lay many foreshadowings and methods. Miss Ellie, see you later."

Jiang Ming bowed deeply, and regardless of Alicia's repeated attempts to keep him, he slowly disappeared in front of the girl with a smile.

"...suddenly appeared, and suddenly left. He is so powerful, and his identity is so mysterious. And we...ah, I'm so curious, so curious."

"Aliceia!?"

Just as Alicia was pondering the boy's true identity, a voice that sounded a bit like a middle-aged man suddenly came from her body. The girl turned slightly and waved to the man who was behind her.

"Hey, Hen, long time no see."

The girl quickly calmed down and turned to the man with her usual perfect and sweet smile.

When the gray-blue-haired man called Hen first arrived here, he saw the body of the Second Herrscher lying on the ground and the Herrscher core emitting a faint golden glow in Alicia's hand.

He stood there in a daze, looking back and forth at the three with a meaningful look in his eyes. Finally, he sighed deeply and his eyes became gentle: "I didn't expect that you really defeated the Second Herrscher by yourself, but our satellite observations have been affected by some unknown problem since you were fighting. The top management speculated that it was probably caused by Honkai energy. But, I'm glad you're okay."

"To be honest, our combat troops were too vulnerable compared to the Herrscher. No matter how many thermal weapons we fired, the Second Herrscher could divert or dodge them with the power of space. I came in only after the Second Herrscher's energy fluctuations completely dissipated. So how did you manage to kill her? And she looked... like she didn't have any skin injuries at all?"

Hen frowned as he looked at the body of the Second Herrscher lying on the ground, and raised some vague doubts.

"Oh, this is just a beautiful girl's magic. The real secret cannot be told. Cute girls also need privacy sometimes, right?"

"Ha, so that's it. Anyway, I'm not the one writing the combat report, so you should think carefully about how to explain it to the higher-ups and doctors. Also, you're welcome to join us. After this battle, your reputation will surely be known throughout the Fire Moth."

"Oh, that's really exciting!"

The cute pink girl showed no flaws at all. Instead, she muttered to herself with anticipation, "As for the combat report... it should be very simple to fill out, right?"

........................

In the dark and silent laboratory, a tall girl with green hair was sitting in front of her computer. For some reason, there seemed to be a strange smell in the laboratory.

What was playing on the computer was the scene where the girl and the boy suddenly met, and together... or just with the latter, they killed the Second Herrscher in an instant and restored the other's body.

Just as Hen said, the Fire Moth's observation methods were affected by some unknown energy. In the end, the top leaders determined that it was caused by Honkai energy.

But on the green-haired girl's computer screen, as if it was planned, the sound of the two people's conversation was clearly audible. And just as the green-haired girl frowned slightly and watched the whole process without saying a word, a familiar male voice suddenly came from behind her, still as gentle and quiet as she had just heard.

"Nice to meet you, Dr. Mobius. Starting with the Second Herrscher, the world will undergo a major change. Not only the Third Herrscher, but future Herrschers may become stronger and stronger. Dr. Mobius, you may want to talk to me."

The source of the sound was a dark corner. The thing that was most lacking in this laboratory was shadows. The human-shaped shadow in the shadow gradually turned real, revealing Jiang Ming's true face.

He smiled gently, expressing his goodwill, hoping to make Mebius let down his guard against him.

In this regard, Jiang Ming was very successful because Mobius knew his abilities, but he also failed because he aroused another state of mind in Mobius regarding vigilance - human curiosity about everything.

Especially, someone like Mebius.
