Before the collapse of civilization, kiss Mebius at the beginning

After breakfast, Klein stayed behind to look after Grayshu. Xu Ziling and Mobius went to the study room of the villa. As we all know, the study room in the villa must be a hidden treasure. It can hide Lao Wang next door or cover up a shocking secret. The villa where Blanca and Hen live is no exception. After Mobius moved the books on the bookshelf in order, the originally smooth soft metal wall suddenly stretched out. After pulling it open, there was an elevator leading to the basement. Mobius brought Xu Ziling to the basement here. When entering, you can see a sweeping robot doing sanitation work in the empty basement. After finishing the work, it returned to the charging slot and turned off the machine. It looked quite well-behaved.

Mobius opened the wall-mounted freezer in the basement with great skill, and signaled Xu Ziling to put the experimental isolation bag he was carrying into the freezer.

Mobius's experimental isolation bag itself has a certain effect of isolating the collapse energy, but it is not enough. Even if a Herrscher dies, the collapse energy radiation contained in his body is also a terrifying threshold. If only the experimental isolation bag is used, it will be completely eroded in less than a day, and then the little Grayshu who lives above the villa will be eroded.

So Mobius asked Xu Ziling for some of Xu Ziling's blood, and the test tubes were sealed and placed in the four corners of the wall-mounted freezer in the basement.

As we all know, Xu Ziling can become stronger as long as he eats, and the same is true for his blood. If his blood is placed around the freezer at a certain ratio, Xu Ziling's blood will automatically collect and absorb the scattered Honkai energy.

The amount of blood cannot be too little, otherwise it will not be able to contain the spread of Honkai energy radiation; the amount of blood cannot be too much, otherwise Xu Ziling's blood may directly devour the remains of the Herrscher.

But this is what Mobius needs to consider. All Xu Ziling needs to consider is to relax his muscles so that the blades can cut his skin and let his blood flow out.

After a lot of effort, after placing the remains and core of the Herrscher of the Void, Mobius took Xu Ziling directly out of the basement of the villa.

In the elevator, Xu Ziling was thoughtful and asked Mobius casually:

"Doctor, it's still early now. Didn't you say that you would go to Mu's capital to question the high-ranking officials tomorrow? It's still early today, why don't you take this time to study the remains of the Herrscher of the Void?"

"Tsk... Little white mouse, let me ask you a question."

Mobius clicked his tongue and looked at Xu Ziling and said,

"When you flush in the toilet, do you stop halfway? ... The same is true for me and my experiments. There is no reason to give up halfway. Either let me do the research in one go, or don't let me do the research.

Facing the source of the great collapse So, one day is not enough. I will play with you this afternoon. Tomorrow, we will go to M City to question those old guys and get the funds. If nothing goes wrong, we can start the formal dissection research on the Herrscher of the Void tomorrow night... Hey, but why are you asking this suddenly, little white mouse? "

"Well... nothing. It's just that when I think of your previous excited attitude and your current cold treatment, the jump between the two is too big. If I don't ask, I feel that someone might scold me. So it's great that you can answer it. "

After silently ignoring the wonderful metaphor of the snake, Xu Ziling explained to Mobius.

"Why will others scold us? Aren't there only two of us here?"

Mobius looked at Xu Ziling strangely, and then glanced at the situation in the elevator. It was indeed her and Xu Ziling.

Xu Ziling shrugged and said:

"Who knows."

...

After leaving the elevator and heading to the living room on the first floor, Xu Ziling and Mobius discovered that after eating, little Grace was still restless and kept running around the room, muttering something like "work, work...", which made Klein, who was standing by, feel very uncomfortable. Why does this child keep asking others to give her work at such a young age? ?

Seeing that Grace was about to pick up the rag to clean the room and compete with the sweeping robot for work, Klein didn't understand why, but he quickly picked up Grace to stop her.

After all, little Greshu looked weird now.

Little Greshu was not angry after being interrupted. Instead, she broke free from Klein's arms and ran away quickly. She pointed the easel, brushes and paints she had just set up at Klein without saying a word. She just stared at Klein.

"Ah...ah?"

Klein was confused. What happened to this child? Wasn't he fine just now? How did he become like this after being alone with him for a while?

The strong desire for work, the behavior of taking the initiative to take care of household hygiene when there is nothing to do, and the shyness of wanting to beg others but not daring to speak because of unfamiliarity... What is this all about...

"Um... ahem. Klein, little white mouse, I forgot to tell you one thing before, but it should not be too late to add it now."

Seeing this, Mebius scratched his head after realizing it belatedly, and came to Klein to explain,

"Gresh, this little girl, has suffered from a kind of... well, something similar to congenital defects since she was a child. She will subconsciously imitate the behavior and habits of people around her. You can put little Gray Lei Xiu thinks of it as a blank sheet of paper, and you, me, and the white mouse are all dyes in her eyes. Therefore, as long as we get close to her, her "blank sheet of paper" will be dyed with our "color".

If you can't understand this analogy of "dye", then I can also give you an example from the medical field.

For example, a person who likes to chase stars will naturally bring some shadows of idols in his behavior and habits after chasing stars for a long time. This behavior is usually interpreted as ordinary people's pursuit and love of idols. But some people with mental illness or congenital defects will have some idols in their own behavior and habits. In their consciousness and imagination, they magnify their behavior of learning and imitating idols by dozens or even hundreds of times. This creates a particularly special mental illness.

The official name of this disease is "shadow cluster syndrome", and the situation of little Gretsch is similar to that thing. "

"But you don't have to worry too much."

Mebius said, waving his hand again,

"When Blanca realized that Gretsch might have a mental illness, he brought Gretsch to me directly. I helped her with her illness when she was very young. It's not a big problem. The reason why I used "almost" to describe it is The reason why little Gretsch's condition is similar to shadow cluster syndrome is that her condition is very similar to shadow cluster syndrome, but not completely the same.

Her imitation of others' behavior is limited to her childhood. When she grows up day by day and has her own "color", she will no longer imitate others. Therefore, this is not an incurable disease, so don't worry. "

"Is this... like this?"

After listening to Mebius' explanation, Klein nodded silently, and at the same time, he looked at Gretsch with a little pity in his eyes. Such a cute child actually suffers from this special disease. Fate is really unfair.

Fortunately, little Gretsch's symptoms are limited to her childhood. According to Mebius, when she grows up and has her own "color", she will no longer be easily "colored" by others.

Xu Ziling was thoughtful. He hadn't reacted to the sudden incident just now. Now thinking carefully, could it be that the picture "The Domineering Snake Always Falls in Love with Me" that Little Grayshue had just drawn for him was drawn because Little Grayshue had dyed it with his colors?

"Hmm..."

At this time, Grayshue was still looking at Klein eagerly, as if she was eager but didn't dare to speak.

And Klein knew that the other party wanted to draw a picture with her colors, but was too shy to speak because he had dyed it with her colors.

After a while of being in a state of confusion, Klein hurried over and said:

"That... Sister Grayshu, if you want to draw me, just draw it. I support you..."

"Um... Yeah! Okay..."

Grayshu quickly nodded after she came to her senses, then looked at Klein seriously and said,

"Green sister, choose any pose you want, remember not to move."

"..."

Klein was silent, just looking at Mebius for help.

Mebius pretended not to see it, just leaning on the sofa in the living room to rest, while thinking in his mind how to question those old guys tomorrow to create more benefits for himself.

However, although Grayshu told Klein not to move, during the actual painting process, little Grayshu never looked at Klein at all, but just focused on depicting her own paintings. It seemed that Klein's movement, jumping, walking, or stopping had nothing to do with her.

.

This made Klein even more confused, but in fact, in Gretsch's opinion, as long as the other party's "color" was remembered by herself, the rest could be left to imagination, whether there was a painting reference or not was actually the same.

Half an hour later, Gretsch's new painting came out. As usual, she took off the drawing paper and handed her new work to her "painting protagonist" with both hands.

The name of this painting is "To the Immaculate Man"

Klein's expression froze after seeing the crazy and busy little man in the painting similar to the four-frame comic.

And Gretsch had returned to her easel and started the next round of creation.

This time, she looked at her "dye" towards Mebius.

"Huahuahua——"

One by one, abstract or beautiful paintings were born in the inadvertent time, and time passed quietly in these paintings.

...

The next day.

"Okay, little white mouse."

After hanging up the call, Mobius looked at Xu Ziling who was washing his face and drinking medicine behind him, and said,

"According to the time, Alicia should be almost done... As for Changkong City, Hen is still cleaning up the countless Honkai beasts that were spawned after the explosion of the sub-sky tumor. Blanca has been using the satellite authority of the Fire Moth Distribution to provide tactical support to Hen these days.

To sum up, Hen and Blanca can't come back, so Gray will be left to Klein's care these days. As for you, you come with me to the Fire Moth headquarters in M ​​City and ask those old guys for an explanation. They have always denied the threat of Honkai in my thesis. Now that the disaster is coming, I wonder how they can be cunning. .

If everything goes well, I can not only return to Mu's core research institute openly, but also obtain research funds for the institute for the next few years. "

"Of course, doctor, this is my duty."

After putting down the empty test tube, Xu Ziling stood in the sun again. After he glanced at the warm sun outside the window, he looked at Mebius and said,

"By the way, doctor, there is not much sunscreen left that you gave me before, and I feel it is necessary to remind you."

"Well, I will prepare new ones for you when I come back this time. Remember to tell me when you finish drinking that thing in the future."

Mebius nodded and said nothing more, but opened the main door of the villa and took Xu Ziling out together.

Outside the villa, on the wide streets of K City, a silver-white floating car had been waiting for a long time.

Neither Mebius nor Xu Ziling can drive very well, but the cars here are generally equipped with unmanned driving functions. After entering the destination, you can directly sit in the car and wait for it to drive itself.

Just when the drone started and took the two to City M, Xu Ziling suddenly thought, does little Greyxiu also fit the description of "Valkyrie/Hero" in the system's daily tasks?

Then can it be considered as completing the task if he takes her to kneel down at a monument? Anyway, little Greyxiu is still young and doesn't understand many things, which can greatly alleviate the embarrassment of completing the system's daily tasks.

But after thinking about it, Xu Ziling still denied his own idea. After all, the system has replaced the random rewards of the system tasks with the designated rewards [Snake Lord's Ring]. If Xu Ziling still can't see this hint, then he might as well not live anymore and find a place where no one is.

What makes Xu Ziling even more curious now is that since the release of the system tasks is based on the principle of "you can complete it yourself", doesn't it mean that he will have a chance to take the initiative within this week?

But the problem is that Xu Ziling doesn't know what this opportunity is yet, so he can only wait with expectation.

[Ding~! It has been detected that the time in the host's area has exceeded 4 a.m.! The awakened system is now reissuing today's daily tasks for the host! ]

[Daily Task: Old friend, I didn't lie. ]

[Task Requirements: Under the gaze of any Valkyrie/Yingjie, rely on the host's own strength to intimidate or even threaten a certain Shenzhou leader, and say to him [Old friend, I didn't lie]. ]
