Speaking of this, Mobius's gaze looked toward Van's chest, to be precise, his heart.
"If I could control that unknown power in your body, then my wish could definitely be realized!"
Speaking of this, at some unknown time, a scalpel made of soulfire steel had appeared in Mobius's hand.
As long as Mobius was willing, she could easily cut open Van's body and take out his heart.
As the scalpel got closer and closer, the barrage had already exploded like a pot boiling over; dense colored text almost covered the whole screen.
———
[Holy crap! Mobius is really doing it?!]
[Spare him, Doctor!]
[What kind of yandere development is this...]
———
The cold scalpel stopped just one centimeter away from Van's heart.
Mobius suddenly "tsk"-ed, tossed the scalpel onto the tray at the side, the metallic clanging sound particularly sharp in the silent laboratory.
"Hmph~ sly fellow, you think this is enough to get a handle on me?"
"But... forget it."
"Anyway, there's still plenty of time ahead, I'll let you off this time..."
Speaking of this, Mobius's voice suddenly became gentle.
"After all..."
"In these long years, you haven't lain down to sleep like this in a long time."
"Even if it's on my cold operating table, I still hope you can cast aside everything in your heart and enjoy this brief warmth."
"You've worked hard... my little~ mouse~"
Accompanied by the soft whisper, Mobius slowly bent down, leaning toward Van's cheek...

[In the Real World]
[I'm crying to death, this woman]
[Number one for sharp mouth, soft heart]
[Van, wake up! Do you know what you're missing!]
[No! This camera is up to something! From this angle I can't see a thing!!!]
———
[Inside the Screening Hall]
Feeling the gazes from all around, Mobius's expression was a little unnatural.
Now she had finally experienced just how embarrassing it was to be "executed" in this kind of way.
And what was even worse...
A certain pink-haired woman was covering her mouth, looking at her.
Her shoulders trembling, clearly holding back laughter with difficulty.
Mobius, naturally, deliberately glared back, acting tough.
However, facing Mobius's murderous gaze, Elysia was not only unafraid, but even came up close with a wide smile.
"Aiya~ to think our Doctor Mobius has such a cute side? When you were secretly touching someone, what were you thinking~"
Looking at the smiling Elysia, Mobius gritted her teeth and said harshly, "... Shut up! That was just a necessary physical examination!"
Seeing Mobius already breaking her composure, the pink fairy lady not only didn't stop, but intensified, "Mhm~ may I ask Doctor Mobius, what kind of examination requires touching all over the body and even saying 'taking it back with interest'~"
On the other side, listening to the two bickering, Van's feelings were mixed.
Because he really didn't know this had happened.
Thinking of this, Van subconsciously looked toward Mobius's direction.
Just at that moment, a certain biologist who liked to act tough had just finished arguing with a certain fairy lady who enjoyed watching the fun.
Their gazes met, sparking a different kind of fire.
Van had just opened his mouth to speak when the red-faced Mobius cut him off roughly, "No talking!"

[Back to the Video]
On the other side, Raiden Mei once again stepped into the memory-recall device in the hall.
She knew that if she wanted to know the truth of everything, she had to personally explore.
Raiden Mei had a premonition that in these repeated explorations, she would get closer and closer to her answer.
Golden light swirled before her eyes, the familiar dizziness surging up.
This time, she was prepared to face any accident.
However, as the space of the Elysian Realm unfolded under her feet, it was not as usual.
The sky had a sickly appearance, as if clean water had been dripped with ink.
The surrounding vegetation was no longer a warm golden yellow, but had become a rotting gray-green, looking as if it had been corroded by some virus.
"This is... a situation that has never appeared before in the Realm." Raiden Mei scanned her surroundings cautiously, "Have I reached another area, or is it..."
Just as Raiden Mei was puzzled, a weak female voice suddenly sounded.
The voice was light, carrying tired hoarseness, yet unusually clear.
"No, the Elysian Realm... it really has encountered some problems."
"Who's there?"
"Time is limited, there's no time to explain."
"In short... the memories that make up the area you're in have developed some problems, and for now, your consciousness and self-recognition have also been affected to a certain degree."
In the pauses of the other's voice, one could occasionally hear the ticking sound of equipment running; it was not hard to imagine the environment she was in.
"So, next, please don't trust your own 'common sense', follow my instructions to move forward, I will take you back to reality."
"Why should I trust you?"
"Mm..." the mysterious voice paused for a moment, "You don't have to trust me, just do as I say. Normally, this would be more efficient."
"But you should at least state your identity." Raiden Mei said, "I can't just follow the orders of someone I've never met."
"Not knowing a name, and knowing a stranger's name, should make no difference to you. Test subject, what you should be more concerned about now is your situation."
'Test subject?'
This address made Raiden Mei fall into thought.
She suddenly thought of Mobius's snake-like eyes, and that ever-playful 'little mouse' nickname.
'A strange voice...'
'Was it another Flame-Chaser? Or a member of World Serpent?'
'Or perhaps...'
