Time in a collapsing world

"Then I'll take my leave first."

Sakura glanced at Li one last time and said, "Be careful."

"I know."

Li knew that Sakura was worried that the Eighth Herrscher might target him again, so she nodded.

Then came Aponya and Destobia, who also left the room, leaving only Li, Mei, and Alicia.

"Alicia, I have something to say to Li."

Mei looked at Alicia.

"Yeah~ Got it, I'll wait for you outside."

Alicia understood that Mei wanted to get away from her first, so she walked out cooperatively and closed the door gently.

"Li, I have put the core of the Seventh Herrscher back to its original place." The next moment the door was closed, Mei suddenly said something meaningless.

"?so what?"

Li didn't understand Mei's intention in saying this to her.

"Do you want power?"

This was a question that Mei pondered for a long time after learning about the Eighth Herrscher's purpose of controlling Li to touch the core of the Seventh Herrscher.

"..."

Li didn't speak, but silence was the best answer.

Who doesn't want more power? Especially not long ago, Li was manipulated by the Eighth Herrscher.

"I can open up access to this core for you, but it requires a small price. Don't worry, the price is very small, and it can even be ignored for you."

"Aren't you worried that I will lose control immediately after touching this core?"

"Of course you're worried, but that's why you have to pay a little price."

"...I'll think about it." It's not only Mei who is worried that Li will lose control, but also Li himself. He doesn't care about the price Mei said. His only hesitation is that Mei allows him to come into contact with the core of the Seventh Herrscher. Decide whether it is correct or not.

After all, for Li, the process of contacting the Herrscher's core is irreversible. If something goes wrong, things will be out of control.

"Come to me when you've made your decision. You should know my contact information."

Mei seemed to have only this to say, so she stood up and opened the door, and immediately saw Alicia who was just leaning on the door to eavesdrop.

"Uh... Oh, Mei, are you done talking?" Alicia straightened up as if nothing had happened.

"The chat is over."

Mei looked helplessly at this quirky girl, "Alicia, next time I talk about important things, I think you can stay away."

"Eh? Isn't it enough to be separated by a door? I can't hear what you are saying inside at all?" After finishing speaking, Alicia pretended to mutter in a voice that Mei could just hear: " Really, why are the rooms in Fire Chaser so well soundproofed?"

"……never mind."

You've definitely heard it all, right?

Mei pinched the bridge of her nose with an annoyed look on her face, "After that, Li will be left to you. If you encounter that "little girl" looking for him again, take it down directly or... kill her."

"Oh……"

Alicia's heart tightened slightly, but she still accepted Mei's order.

……

"Doctor, this is the latest experimental data."

In the laboratory, Klein quickly stepped forward after seeing Mebius return.

"I know, let's put it aside for now. I don't want to look at these things for the time being."

Mebius waved his hand and did not take the thick stack of data in Klein's hand. After the Eighth Herrscher incident, she was not in the mood to do anything else.

"Ok."

Klein was also very obedient and took the data back. Then he talked about another thing: "Doctor, Dr. Spacey came to see you, but you were not here, so I asked you to tell you that if you come back You must contact him first."

"Spacy? What is he doing here?"

Mebius frowned. The man who was almost retiring after losing an arm suddenly came looking for him?

"Dr. Spacey seems to have said it was for the super-transformation surgery." Klein thought for a while and said.

"...The selection of the next batch hasn't started yet? Are you so anxious? Which enemy do you want to send to the road?"

Talking to himself like this, Mebius still sent a message to Dr. Spacey. After all, he was also a veteran scientist of the Fire Moth, so he still had to give him some face.

A few seconds after the message was sent, Dr. Spacey on the other end quickly replied with a large message, which roughly meant that he would come over immediately and asked Mebius not to leave yet.

what the hell?

Mebius was confused.

Five minutes later, Dr. Spacey came over in a hurry. Behind him was another man with long hair and squinting eyes, following closely behind Dr. Spacey.

"Dr. Mebius."

Spacy called out, and the man behind him nodded politely.

"Is he the one who needs super-transformation surgery?"

Realizing it instantly, Mebius looked up and down at the man he had met several times before, and turned to ask Spacy.

"Um...Dr. Mebius, please."

Spacy was a little hesitant, but remembering the firmness in Su's open eyes when she made this request to him not long ago, he still nodded and said sincerely.

"Isn't he your student? You suddenly want to transform him into a fusion warrior...do you think there is no way out for a civilian career?"

To be honest, Mebius didn't want to operate on a newcomer during this period of time, so the resistance in his words was particularly obvious.

"Dr. Mebius, this is none of the doctor's business. It is my own decision."

At this time, Su defended his mentor, "I took the initiative to propose the request for super-changing surgery to the doctor. He had always been opposed to it before, but I convinced him."

Then, Su opened his eyes, "I also implore you, Dr. Mebius, I hope you can accept my request and let me perform a super-changing surgery."

"...There are more and more young people who are desperate for their lives." After looking at Su for a long time, Mebius looked at Spacy, "What do you think?"

"Um……"

Spacey's eyelids drooped.

"Then hurry up, take off your clothes and lie down on the operating table. As for our respected Dr. Spacey, please move outside first~" Mebius turned around to prepare the tools, "Don't waste it Time, otherwise I might regret it the next second?"

"Thank you."

Su didn't say much. After nodding to his mentor, he started to act according to Mebius's instructions.

"..."

Spacey did not expect that Mebius would be surprisingly easy to talk to this time. He thought that Su would need to spend more words to convince her...

Spacy didn't know that the current Fire Chaser Moth was still in the process of employing people. The arrival of the Eighth Herrscher gave Mebius a sense of urgency, so she made an exception and held a lottery. If If this operation is successful, then Fire Chaser Moth will have one more fusion warrior. If it fails, it doesn't matter. It is the decision of the two masters and apprentices. At most, Mebius will just waste a little time.

"Dr. Mebius, please."

After saying the last words, Spacy walked out. The only thing he could do now was to pray. If even Mebius couldn't make this operation successful, then it would be Su's own fate.
