[In the Video]
After a round of searching, Raiden Mei found Mobius in the intelligence room.
"Mobius, it really isn't easy to find you."
Mobius raised her head at these words and smiled at Raiden Mei.
"Aiya, big sister, it should be that you've been avoiding me, right? Not daring to get close to me, yet asking around about me everywhere…"
Speaking to this point, Mobius suddenly let out a giggle, twirling her hair around her fingers.
"Isn't this just like being secretly in love? Actually, you could just come to me directly."
However, Mobius's flirtation did not cause Raiden Mei to have any reaction. She calmly said, "Can't the communication between us be even a little bit normal?"
Mobius instantly dropped her smile, looking displeased. "What exactly does Elysia do? Is it that I'm not imitating her well enough?"
"You actually imitate someone you hate?" Raiden Mei raised an eyebrow.
"Of course~ Who told people to always have unnecessary guard against me?" Mobius said, "If imitating her can bring some help to my experiments, then of course I don't mind trying… though it is a bit uncomfortable."
"But… it doesn't seem to work on you anyway, so forget it."
"Alright, little white mouse, then let's talk about your so-called 'serious business.'
"You should know too, for me, there's only one thing that can be called 'serious business', and that is letting you lie on the operating table in my laboratory so I can study you thoroughly…"
Speaking to here, Mobius's gaze at Raiden Mei was filled with desire, as if she were looking at some rare treasure.
"A living Herrscher… just what differences does her body have?"
"So… Herrscher big sister, do you want to try doing some wonderful things with me?"
Mobius licked her lips, her tone full of temptation.
Raiden Mei paused and said, "Alright."

[???]
[Mei, you're acting strange!]
[Tss~ Even though I know this is just a delaying tactic, I really hope Mei could make the fake act real]
[Kiana: Meow meow meow meow?]
———
Raiden Mei's answer not only surprised the audience but also caught Mobius off guard.
"Eh~ Alright, I knew you'd reject me like before. So why did you come here to waste time…"
"Hm? What did you just say?"
Mobius suspected she heard wrong.
She looked up at Raiden Mei, wanting to find something from her expression.
"I agreed, Mobius. I've been in the Elysian Realm for some time now. If the area it can show me is limited to this, then I must have reached the end countless times already," Raiden Mei said.
"That final 'gift,' I should also have the right to receive it, shouldn't I?"
As Raiden Mei's voice fell, the atmosphere between the two became a little subtle.
The lighting in the intelligence room hadn't changed in the slightest, but Mobius's snake pupils suddenly contracted into a thin line.
Like sizing up an unfamiliar prey, she looked at the person before her.
And for those who know creatures well, they might suddenly realize…
Snakes with such pupils often only appear in "darkness."
After a while, Mobius suddenly burst into laughter, her sharp voice somewhat ear-piercing.
"Hahahaha… this is so interesting! Before, you swore that wasn't what you wanted… What? You finally realized that you can't possibly find that man's secret on your own?"
Raiden Mei's expression remained unchanged, her tone calm, "That's right, the information buried in the Elysian Realm is far too fragmented. Searching for the answer I want here… perhaps from the beginning it was futile."
"And before that… I think, at least I should personally witness the meaning of the Elysian Realm's existence."
Mobius squinted at her words, "Oh? Is this really your inner thought, Herrscher?"
Raiden Mei replied calmly, "Of course you can think of it as a lie, Mobius. But without evidence to refute me, it is the only 'truth.'"
"Hehe… hahahaha… I'm liking you more and more, my cute little lab rat."
"Then… as you wish."
"I'll go to the lab to make preparations… to match it with a Herrscher, I might need to spend a bit more time."
Saying this, Mobius's figure slowly disappeared from Raiden Mei's sight, but her sharp voice still echoed in the air.
"Oh, right, before reaching the laboratory, you won't see me again. You'll have to endure it a little, alright?"
"This might be a bit difficult, but I can promise you… enduring will definitely be worth it."
"Because when everything is over, I will definitely let you… 'be reborn.'"
———
At the same time, in the golden hall, Elysia seemed to sense something.
She walked to the Recollection Device and murmured, "Mei… you shouldn't have provoked Mobius. But since things have already turned out this way, I can't just stand by and watch… Eh?"
Just as Elysia decided to do something for Raiden Mei, a familiar figure stepped out from the shadows.
"Ali?! You're finally willing to come see me~"
"Right, now isn't the time for this, Mei she…"
However, the other's reply stunned her.
"Ely, that plan of Mobius's has already started…"
Looking at Van standing before her, Elysia understood the whole sequence of events.
"Since you know all of this, why would you still let Raiden Mei contact Mobius? Aren't you afraid…"
"Because she won't succeed," Van said.
Elysia tilted her head, her face full of confusion. "Hm?"
"It's precisely because I understand Mobius that I can rest assured letting Raiden Mei contact her," Van said.
"Because… when she's in a hurry to prove a theory feasible, it means she knows full well, that it's absolutely impossible to succeed."
Van's words made Elysia lower her head in thought.
After a while, she raised her head again, her gaze burning as she looked at Van.
"What about you? Does your eagerness to carry out that plan also mean there's absolutely no chance of success?"
Van paused and softly said, "It's different, Ely… I will succeed… definitely."
Watching Van's figure gradually grow distant, Elysia's eyes were filled with guilt.
"What a hopeless idiot~"
