People are in Star Iron, and the sky fire is out of its sheath at the beginning

"..."

That poisonous snake is still as poisonous as ever.

Ron sighed, not surprised by all this.

After all, he knew Mebius's character very well and knew what kind of mental state he would be in when he learned about him again after 5 years.

Moreover, he also knew very well that after the other party knew of his existence, he would most likely fly directly in front of him from tens of thousands of kilometers away.

But the other party didn't do this, so there are only two explanations.

One way is that she doesn't want to do this, maybe there is something more important that prevents her from getting away, but the probability is very low. At least in Ron's impression, the only thing that can make the other party pay so much attention seems to be herself...

The second is that the other party cannot do it.

There are quite a lot of explanations. The other party may be unable to appear in front of him in person due to physical limitations or other limitations.

In a sense, this also made Ron feel a little relieved, because as long as Mebius couldn't leave the Paradise, he didn't have to panic.

After all, as long as he survives tonight, he can leave this world temporarily!

As long as he is teleported away, the other party will not be able to find him across the world, right?

While Ron was lost in various thoughts, Gray Snake was patiently waiting for his thoughts without interrupting him in any way.

Ron gradually came to his senses and slowly said, "What news did Mebius ask you to bring here?"

"Well, Master Mebius asked me to tell you that you are welcome to come to the Paradise of the Past at any time... If possible, it is best to go there now to meet the heroes."

"No need, I don't have time."

Ron shook his head.

He didn't go to the Paradise not only because he only had one night to spend, but also because he wasn't ready enough.

5 years is too long, and no one knows what kind of changes have happened to Honkai and the Yingjie during this time.

Ron wants to have a deeper understanding of current civilization before he considers going to the Paradise of the Past.

Otherwise, if something happens that you can't handle, no one knows how troublesome it will be... Ron has experienced it personally.

"I understand."

Gray Snake nodded. He did not feel dissatisfied at all with Ron's rejection and calmly accepted his answer, "Dr. Ron, do you have any other questions you want to ask me?"

Ron was silent for a moment, and finally raised the question that concerned him most at the moment.

"Are all the Yingjie really still alive? And where is Mei?"

"Sorry, I can't say this. Master Mebius asked me to tell you that as long as you go to the Paradise of the Past, you will naturally know everything."

"..."

Then you still let me ask questions?

Ron looked at Gray Snake and felt a little dissatisfied with this former creation.

After all, he, Mei and Mebius created Gray Snake back then. In a sense, they were Gray Snake's parents.

As a result, now, this child has become so rebellious?

It must have been taught by Mebius!

Ron thought in his mind, then shook his head, indicating that he had no other questions.

Gray Snake then slowly turned around and left the scene.

……

The paradise of the past.

Mebius stood silently, staring at the scenery in the Paradise that had not changed for tens of thousands of years.

Suddenly, Gray Snake wearing a black robe and holding a black umbrella appeared next to her, and slowly took out a tape...

"This is what I recorded during the conversation between my clone in the Far East and Dr. Ron."

"it is good."

Mebius nodded silently, then looked at the tape in his hand.

She did not listen to the content immediately, but stared at the front of her eyes, and seemed to see a long, long time ago, the distant past.

"5 years..."

"I thought you were dead..."

"No matter how long you wait, the night will be just a meaningless and futile effort..."

"But now it seems that fortunately I waited..."

"Long time no see, Ron, you unsympathetic bastard!"

Chapter 75 I like you, date me, Ron

After leaving Changkong City, Ron set out for St. Freya Academy while instinctively starting to recall the past that was not too far away for him.

Ron first met Mebius in the pre-collapse era of civilization.

At that time, he had just come to this world. While working as a health teacher at Qianyu Academy, he was looking for traces of Honkai. He planned to research the concept of Honkai in advance and look for opportunities to defeat the Herrscher of the End.

It was at that time that due to a chance encounter, he met Mebius, the only two scientists in the world who, like him, were eager to study Honkai.

There was nothing special about the first encounter between the two. It was even an extremely ordinary thing that would not leave an impression on anyone's mind.

------

"..."

"who are you?"

"Ron, the health doctor at Senba Academy."

"Do you know about Honkai Impact?"

"Yes."

"Aren't you afraid of these monsters?"

"It is never monsters that need to be feared, but humans, because monsters can destroy your body at most, while humans can destroy a person's body and spirit at the same time."

"Interesting statement, are you interested in visiting my laboratory?"

"If there is research on Honkai, I can go take a look."

A few words established the second meeting.

At that time, neither of them imagined how everything would develop next.

------

"..."

"Ron, what do you think the nature of Honkai is?"

"It's the projection of something... Whether it's Honkaimon or Herrscher, although they seem to be substantial concepts, they are just things that were born after Honkai projected onto some actual concept. We have never Even if I’ve seen real Honkai, I can’t understand the nature of Honkai.”

"That makes sense. Are you free tomorrow? I have a new research I want to ask you for."

"Tomorrow? Isn't there a seminar for Mu Dalu's scholars tomorrow?"

"Even if you go to that boring seminar a hundred times, you won't get any results. It's better to communicate with you, which will make me feel more."

"alright."

This was probably the tenth or so meeting.

At that time, Ron and Mebius should have become close comrades.

But Ron didn't know that all this was only in his one-sided eyes.

------

"..."

"Dingle bell~dingle bell!" The noisy bell rang throughout the room.

"Dr. Mebius, won't you answer Dr. Ron's call?" In the laboratory, Mebius' assistant Klein asked in confusion.

"..."

Mebius himself froze in place without saying a word.

"Did you have a fight?"

"Why do you say that? I haven't mentioned him all day long."

"Yes, after all you have avoided topics related to Dr. Ron all day today...it seems that you really care about him."

"...I didn't pay attention."

"Are you dissatisfied that he directly established a new research institute without asking your opinion? It is said that he and his student Mei opened a brand new Honkai Research Institute... You should really hope that Dr. Ron will join us for research So, you studied it with us, right?"

"I said, I don't care! I have no interest in that guy's affairs!"

This incident happened approximately three years after Ron and Mebius met.

At that time, Ron did not think about the impact this choice would have, nor did he think it would have any impact, so he did not take the initiative to mention it to Mebius.

It wasn't until Mebius didn't answer his call for three months that Ron realized the seriousness of the matter.

------

"..."

The next day, Klein rushed into the laboratory excitedly and spoke to Mebius, who had stayed up all night and was lying on the table with his eyes squinted:

"Doctor, there will be a Fire Moth dance tomorrow, and Dr. Ron invites you to attend."

"Yeah, so what?"

"Well, shouldn't you be happy?"

"Happy? Why should I be happy about something like this?"

"But don't you like Dr. Ron very much?"

"..."

The space suddenly fell into silence. Klein thought he had touched something he shouldn't have touched, and the expression on his face changed slightly.

Mebius, who was still lying on the table, slowly sat up, his messy hair hanging on his body in a mess, and his cloudy eyes became sober little by little.

"Klein, what did you just say?"

"I didn't say anything, Doctor, I, I went to water the goldfish!!!"

"..."

Seeing Klein leaving in a hurry, Mebius looked at the experimental report in front of him that had made no progress for three months, and finally realized why he was so listless.

"I see, that's what I actually think..."

For a moment, Mebius' originally empty eyes gradually regained their vitality, and some kind of dusty Pandora's box seemed to be completely opened.

The next day, at the Fire Chaser's dance.

Ron represented the institute and participated in the Fire Moth dance with his student Mei.

During the process, he kept looking for Mebius, wondering if he was still angry.

Although he couldn't figure out why Mebius was angry, as a friend, he still hoped to apologize to the other party and ease the relationship between them.

After such an almost torturous wait, Ron finally saw Mebius.

The other party was wearing a long dress that they had never seen before, with long green hair hanging behind her back. Her tall figure and well-dressed appearance made many people unable to recognize her as the rumored 'demon scientist'.

"Yo, long time no see."

Mebius came straight to Ron, his light green eyes fixed on the man in front of him, revealing a strange look that he had never seen before.
