She simply responded with a nod to indicate that she understood, and then made no further comment. She seemed to treat this as a job, simply nodding in agreement whenever Möbius spoke.
Danzhu and Cangxuan were quite surprised.
Cangxuan was thinking very rationally, while Danzhu glanced at Mebius and then turned his gaze to Roland.
"Um... if we say we won't join, will we be silenced...?"
Danzhu's words interrupted Cangxuan's thoughts, and Danzhu continued speaking.
"If we don't agree, they'll knock us out and send us to Dr. Möbius's experiments..."
"I agreed!"
As soon as Danzhu mentioned Möbius's experimental table, Cangxuan immediately agreed!
Moreover, her attitude was extremely resolute, as if she would rather die here than be allowed to join Anti-Entropy, as a way of proving her resolve!
Seeing Cang Xuan's expression, and then noticing Mebius's dark face, Danzhu quickly nodded in agreement.
Their agreement only worsened Mebius's mood.
However, Roland, who had been watching the whole time, could understand.
Although Mebius is not a Fusion Warrior yet, and the Honkai Beast Shesa, which she was supposed to fuse with, has been captured by Anti-Entropy, even so, when Mebius stares at someone with a dark expression, she still gives people the feeling that they are being watched by a venomous snake.
Given this, coupled with Möbius's reputation, it's understandable that Danzhu and Cangxuan would be afraid.
In the original storyline, during the countdown to the previous civilization, when Fu Hua was conducting the experiment, she couldn't understand Mebius, so she took the initiative to suggest that she take Fu Hua away from Mebius after the experiment ended, which was actually a bit abnormal.
After all, the courage they showed back then is nowhere to be seen now.
Maybe it's because of Fu Hua?
Roland leaned against the side and began to let his mind wander.
It was at this moment that Mebius pulled the trembling Danzhu and Cangxuan aside and said something to them. In any case, after the three of them returned, Danzhu and Cangxuan were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they became even more obedient.
Then they had to pack their things so they could escape from the fire-chasing moths.
But Roland stopped them at that moment.
"Once you've made your decisions, there's no need to pack anything."
"No need to tidy up..."
Mebius was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize what was happening and stared intently at Roland.
"Can magic solve this problem?"
Klein, Danzhu, and Cangxuan were all full of question marks, while Roland nodded and at the same time opened the Imaginary Number Barrier, switching the entire Möbius Laboratory and everything inside it to the Imaginary Number state.
Imaginary stealth technology inherently supports long-distance movement.
Roland had mastered the art in this regard, so he was naturally capable of doing it as well, and perhaps even better—going to places he had never been before was difficult, but bringing a laboratory back to its designated location with prior preparation was nothing to Roland.
So after Roland finished nodding, Mebius and the others felt a slight tremor in the space, and then Roland smiled and spoke.
"Alright, let's go out and take a look..."
As he spoke, he walked to the door and pushed it open.
“I already cleared out the space for you, and now—”
Roland walked to the door, then turned his back to the outside light source and spread his hands out towards Mebius and the others.
Welcome to Anti-Entropy!
Hearing Roland say that, Mebius and the others also came out of the laboratory. They then discovered that it really wasn't the Moths that were outside. After they went back to the laboratory and looked around, they were certain that their entire laboratory had been moved over!
Then Roland, seeing that Mebius was still somewhat dazed, reminded her.
"Alright, I'll arrange for someone to show you around. If you need anything, just let them know. Today, you can get used to the anti-entropy environment. Tomorrow, I'll take you to see the Sea of Life... Oh, you can think of the Sea of Life as the magic workshop I told you about before, but it's a higher level."
"That's also where we create fusion warriors and conduct biological research. It will definitely exceed your imagination; you can even look forward to it."
“I have some things to take care of here... but if you have anything that you wanted to get from the Firemoth but didn’t, just have someone come to me and I’ll take you back to get it.”
Hearing Roland's words, as if he were treating the Fire-Chasing Moths as his own warehouse, Möbius remained silent for a moment before nodding.
She should get used to these mysterious technologies.
Then Roland left, after all, he had already made Eden wait for quite a while, and it would be a bit much if he didn't go soon.
Before leaving, he arranged for Aponia and Alicia to come over. Although he felt that Alicia and Mebius would definitely have some trouble, with the two of them there, there wouldn't be any problems.
After Roland left, Mebius first explained the magic to Klein, Danzhu, and Cangxuan, which shocked their worldview and made Danzhu and Cangxuan very much looking forward to the Sea of Life that Roland had mentioned before leaving. Even Klein nodded in agreement.
However, Mebius himself wasn't particularly looking forward to the Sea of Life that Roland had mentioned.
After all, no matter how amazing the magic is, the experimental results and data are just different forms of expression. After going to the Sea of Life tomorrow, he will probably learn a lot of new things, so Möbius is only curious about the Sea of Life, and that's all.
But the Sea of Life is not such a simple thing.
....
110.mei and Cecilia
Eden didn't just stay in one place during this time; before Roland came to see Möbius, he had someone take him on a tour of Anti-Entropy and Twilight Street.
Eden had just returned from his shopping trip, and then Roland came straight over.
"Sorry, I had something to take care of, so I'm a little late."
Upon hearing Roland's voice, Eden looked over, and when she saw Roland, a very gentle and exceptionally beautiful smile appeared on her face.
"It's okay, I just sat down not long ago."
"Didn't the little girl come with you?"
"If she knew you still called her 'little girl,' she'd be angry again."
Eden shook her head slightly, but when she thought of Roland's reaction when he first called her assistant "little girl," which was like a cat with its fur standing on end, she couldn't help but laugh.
This feeling made her feel much more relaxed.
After all, she came to Anti-Entropy mainly to ask Roland about everything that happened during the Australian concert. So when she thought about how Roland had taken care of the guy who could easily turn the surroundings into a fiery hell, she felt a little unfamiliar and nervous when facing Roland.
But after actually meeting Roland and exchanging a few words, that feeling disappeared.
Because she knew that Roland was still Roland, and that was enough to put her mind at ease.
"She still has some things to take care of. After all, such a big thing happened during the concert in Australia. Although no one died thanks to your Anti-Entropy protection, there are still a lot of things to deal with. She has been dealing with these things recently, and she keeps mentioning you these days."
"She probably wants me to go back and deal with those troubles. I'd rather not go and suffer with her, but who knows, I might be able to help her even if I don't go."
Upon hearing Eden's words, Roland laughed, and laughed heartily.
"Alright, let's put these things aside for now. Eden, I know you came to me to ask about something, but before we get to that, I have to ask you one question: are you prepared for the unhappiness that will follow knowing all this?"
Seeing that Roland had become more serious, Eden also became serious.
She looked at Roland, and without much thought, gave her answer directly.
"I actually made up my mind when I saw you standing in front of me that night... If there were a stage, I would want to be the most dazzling one, but what happened that day made me watch as art was squeezed out of any space to survive in the flames."
"Actually, I've been thinking about this question for a long time: why do I sing?"
"Is it to meet everyone's expectations? Or to unleash one's own talent?"
“I thought about it very seriously. I was already singing before everyone started to have expectations of me. If I just wanted to make the most of my talent, I wouldn’t need to be this tall.”
"It's not for money either, because I hardly ever touch money. I have no interest in or pursuit of money."
"And the answer I finally found was art—because I want to be the most dazzling one, and I hope to be the same in the future as well as now, so I think I need to leave something behind."
"But on the night of the concert in Australia, everything I had firmly believed seemed to be an illusion. Wasn't the reality of the world already laid bare before me at that moment, regardless of whether I agreed or not?"
At this point, Eden looked into Roland's eyes.
"So, I had thought it through before I came, and I was prepared for it."
Roland nodded upon hearing Eden's answer.
"Well then, let me first introduce you to the most powerful disaster that humanity has ever faced: the Honkai."
Roland and Eden were having a meeting, while Aponia and Alicia arrived at Mebius's laboratory.
Since Alicia defected to Anti-Entropy, she and Mebius haven't seen each other for quite some time.
However, when Klein, Danzhu, and Cangxuan met the two again, they still felt that the relationship between the two had not changed at all.
“Mebius, I heard you’ve also come to Anti-Entropy. I’m so glad. So please accept this newcomer gift from me. It’s a senior’s way of taking care of a junior, so you can’t refuse.”
Alicia smiled and pushed a pink dress directly at Mebius, who resisted with all his might, his face dark.
However, compared to his initial skills, Mebius's greatest weapon is clearly his hard, sarcastic mouth.
"Hmph, who wants your wedding gift—besides, isn't this kind of pink dress usually your favorite? Oh, I get it, you didn't pay attention when you bought the dress, and now you've gained weight and can't fit into it, right!"
Alicia and Mebius went on this tug-of-war for a long time.
In the end, it ended with Alicia winning.
Mebius would never wear such a dress, but in order to stop Alicia from pestering her further, she accepted it anyway.
"Alright, Alicia, I don't have time to talk to you about this... Roland asked you to show us around Anti-Entropy and also to arrange our accommodations. We can't all live in the lab, can we?"
