"Fu Su and I have experienced the same catastrophe. Even the mighty power of time cannot wash away such memories. I understand that feeling, and I believe he will remember that scene forever."

Eden took a deep breath. Even though she was in the air-conditioned room, her nostrils seemed to smell that day again, when the flames burned the wood, melted the bricks, and the smell of human fat changed under high temperature. The smell, which brought her into that fiery purgatory again.

"I can only watch helplessly. Everything I was familiar with and everything I cherished disappeared in a blink of an eye. The smell of flames filled my nostrils. Sadness, despair, helplessness...these heavy Like a sledgehammer, my emotions hit my heart again and again, oppressing me and making it difficult to breathe."

Eden still kept the smile on his face, but in Alicia's view, the smile was so bleak and sad.

"Until now, I have wondered whether this disaster is reality or a cruel nightmare. But the feeling in the memory is so real."

"The heat of the flames is real, the pain of being burned is real, the appearance of the audience running away and crying is also real, and the heart-wrenching despair that can only be watched as their own time goes away... more It is true."

Eden's smile gradually faded, which meant that she was fully immersed in her memories at this time, but the painful memories should not have been recalled.Alicia knew that her problem made Eden suffer such unnecessary torture, but she had to understand Fusu's situation, which made the beautiful girl quite conflicted.

"Actually, both of us should have died in that fire. At that time, he was yelling at a dead body, completely oblivious to the fact that the ceiling above his head was about to fall. It was I who reminded him that Let him dodge at the critical moment; later, he propped up his shield to protect me until he was taken out of the theater by Miss Hua."

"The two of us survived from there because we helped each other, but in fact, Ellie, our souls were not able to escape, but were left in Australia after the fire, which was burned and frozen. On the earth, died in the last era."

"Eden is the first stage name I used, and it is also my current name. The superstar who regards art as his life has died with art in the last era. Now Eden is just left in people's hearts. About those arts It's just a legacy."

"As for Fu Su, although I don't know why he left his soul on that land, I can hear that there is a wind hole in his heart, and the strong wind is whistling through that hole, making a shrill sound. Howling. In his eyes, there are only afterimages of the past."

Alicia grabbed Eden's shoulders, and was about to refute Eden's dejected thoughts loudly, but her raised finger blocked all words.

"Don't comfort me, Ai Li, Fu Su and I are people who stayed in the past. But... I think it's not a mistake that we are still alive. At least, I can still be like this, To recall the pain and sorrow, to remember their...and my despair."

"This is something I can still do now. I think this is also the reason why he agreed to go to Mebius. He must also think that there is something he can do."

"As for Ellie, as you guessed, there is no such thing as a hero saving the beauty and falling in love with it, it doesn't exist... The two of us should have another kind of relationship that hasn't fully developed yet."

"Ah, sorry, I'm always like this, and I talk a lot by accident."

"...I thought you, Eden, would be my good sister, but you turned out to be like Kevin, feeding me dog food like crazy! Hmph, I'm ignoring you!"

"Ha ha……"

--------

Fu Su was walking alone in the bright corridor, the overly bright light from the incandescent lamps shone on the white coats of the passing researchers, giving off somewhat dazzling reflections.

This is the first research institute, where Dr. Mebius' experimental team is located, and also the unit where Fu Su will work in the future.

According to the address written on the notice given by the personnel department, Fu Su found the corresponding house number in the deepest part of the research institute. He tidied up his clothes, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

A confident and haughty voice came from behind the door.

Fu Su pushed open the door, and what greeted his eyes was a man with glasses, a head of soft green hair, and a cross-shaped earring formed by two Mebius rings intersecting vertically on one ear. The beauty in the doctor's white coat was leaning against the desk with a cup of coffee.

"Hello, Dr. Mebius, I'm Fu Su."

He greeted Mebius respectfully, and Mebius put down the cup in his hand, with a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth, not at all like a person of her age, but like a The little one who finally got the long-awaited toy.

"Hello, handyman, make me a cup of coffee first, let me see your business level, the coffee machine and coffee beans are over there."

Mebius pointed to the laboratory bench. Beside the test tube rack full of test tubes filled with reagents of various colors, there was a hand coffee grinder that looked like it had just been bought, and coffee in a beaker. bean.

"..."

Fu Su felt the veins on his forehead start to pop.

Chapter 13, Dr. Mebius, you actually...

"So, handyman, why hasn't my coffee... what are you doing?"

Mebius, who waited almost an hour without waiting for a cup of coffee, finally moved his gaze away from the complicated data on the computer impatiently, and stared at the experiment table.

Then she saw a scene that made her blood pressure soar.

On the experimental bench, a very standard simple extraction and titration device was assembled, but what was placed in the funnel was not any experimental reagent, but a transparent ice cube carved into the shape of a funnel. In addition, the funnel It was also filled with water with floating ice floes.

Directly below the burette was a coffee pot half filled with a clear brown liquid.

"Ice drops, an excellent scientist like you, Dr. Mebius, must have high requirements for the coffee you drink. It just so happens that the coffee beans you have are all dark roasted, which is just right for making ice drops Coffee. It just takes a long time to wait for the extraction, presumably Dr. Mebius won't even have the patience for this."

"..."

Mebius had indeed heard of iced coffee, but it took too long to make it, so the price of iced coffee in coffee shops was very expensive.

And as we all know, although Mebius herself is the kind who can't count the money lying down because of various patents, the fire moth has been cutting the research funds belonging to her team to prevent Her inhuman studies.

So Mebius used her own money to maintain her team. Even so, her experimental team has always been in a deficit state of making ends meet, otherwise she wouldn't have to eat instant noodles and pickles all the time.

Therefore, although Mebius also wanted to try other coffees, he really had no spare money for things other than research.

Just like the hand coffee grinder that Fu Su is using now and the dark roasted coffee beans in this beaker, they bought it because of the large sum of money recently given by the fire moth, and they had spare money on hand.

"And Dr. Mebius's coffee machine is well maintained. It doesn't feel stagnant when used, just like new ones. It's just that the coffee beans should not be packed in a beaker."

"..."

Mebius was speechless for a moment, Fu Su's tone at this time reminded her inexplicably of Alicia, who said that we are best friends, I have always liked you, but no one knew what was going on in her heart. Crumb woman thinking about something.

She is a little unclear now, whether Fu Su is yin and yang to her, or really just thinks so.

Fu Su's original body was an experienced bartender who was not considered senior.

In fact, there are not only wine and bartending tools in the bar. The bartender’s workbench is actually a small kitchen. There are everything from an induction cooker to a frying pan, and a hand-ground coffee machine is of course not a problem.

And no matter how well maintained an item is, there will still be traces of use.

Fu Su naturally noticed that the coffee machine was newly bought, and using a beaker to hold coffee beans meant that Mebius had never drunk freshly ground coffee before.

"Forget it, call me when you're done."

Mebius hesitated to speak, and then took out a pack of instant coffee from the desk drawer.

"Here, hot water."

But before she could tear open the package, a cup of hot water was placed in front of her.

"Since you want to taste the level of coffee I make, don't drink this kind of sugar water. The excessive sweetness will seriously affect your taste for a while, and you won't be able to drink the taste of coffee after a while."

"Tsk, you'd better pray that the taste of the coffee you made will satisfy me, otherwise I will tie you to the operating table without hesitation, and let you know what will happen if you make me angry!"

Mebius frowned, put down the instant coffee bag in his hand, and accepted Fu Su's statement, but there was one more person on the list of people who made her unhappy, and the previous one was named Alicia.

"I don't think you will, Dr. Mebius."

Fu Su took out a stack of reports from the document bag he brought, and put them in front of Mebius. This was the physical examination report that Alicia gave him, forged by Klein.

"Otherwise, doctor, you wouldn't do such a thing, I'm right."

When Mebius reported, he knew the origin of the report with just a glance, and he knew what was wrong with the report in an instant.What puzzled her was why it was Fu Su who came to her with this report, instead of those upper-level messengers of the Flaming Moth.

"That Klein guy actually made such a big mistake, really... So, how did you get this report?"

Mebius picked up the water glass, sat on the edge of his desk, tilted his head slightly, and stared closely at Fu Su's eyes like a snake.

"..."

Fu Su didn't speak, but just returned to the edge of the experiment table, closed his eyes and listened to the sound of melting ice water dripping into the coffee powder, and then dripping into the coffee pot.

"What's the matter, handyman? Is there something unspeakable to hide? Or are you more inclined to keep a stranger secret than me, the director and superior?"

Mebius narrowed her eyes, and her tone became dangerous. At the same time, she also thought about who had the ability to obtain the information of the new recruits, and who had the motive to reveal the information to Fu Su.

'It's that Alicia guy again. '

Suddenly, Mebius thought of something, she raised the corners of her mouth, and took out a document in the same format as the medical report from the bottom of the pile of documents.

"I understand that suddenly gaining power beyond ordinary people's understanding will indeed make people confused, just like those people who suddenly became giants of light in the special photos of the last century."

"But I'm different. I can analyze the truth of your ability and help you gain stronger power."

"Dr. Mebius, do you still watch Ultraman?"

But Fu Su didn't focus on his ability as Mebius thought, but quickly caught a point in Mebius' words.

"Is there any problem? Although Ultraman belongs to the fantasy category, isn't this half-energy and half-material life form in a sense worthy of our research?"

"Now, can you tell me who gave you this report, Fu Su?"

"Dr. Mebius, I hope you can answer me a question."

Fu Su pondered for a while, and decided not to answer Mebius' question directly.

"Well, ask, I'm listening."

"Dr. Mebius must hate informants very much, just like you are asking me who gave me this report now."

"That's right, if you are such a guy, I will definitely let you live or die!"

"But doctor, what is the difference between what you want me to do now, and being an informer?"

"..."

The smile on Mebius' face froze for a moment, and she wanted to refute, but debating such things really belonged to her blind spot of knowledge.

"Are you going to tell me? Believe it or not, I'll tie you up and make a specimen right now!"

Mebius, who was a little bit annoyed, didn't want to go around in circles anymore. She slapped the real physical examination report on the table, folded her arms and waited for Fu Su's answer.

"Dr. Mebius, don't you already know?"

"Tsk, you are as annoying as Alicia."

"Here, Doctor, your iced drip coffee. Also, don't serve the beans in a beaker."

"Hi, you are so annoying!"

Chapter 14. I added eaux-de-vie to my coffee

"She is really good at holding grudges, Dr. Mebius, she is obviously so old, she still looks like a child."

With heavy dark circles under his eyes and a glass of Negroni in his hand, Fu Su told Eden who was sitting next to him about the various "temperances" he had experienced this week, as Mebius said. .

It's not a big deal, Mebius didn't ask him to do difficult experiments, nor did he ask him to calculate the data that was like a bible to him, and even those data were calculated by Mebius himself. made.

Mebius just gave her former assistant Klein a vacation, and then threw all the brains that Fu Su could handle in Klein's part of the job to him.

There is nothing too difficult, but it is very time-consuming, plus the various errands that Mebius gave him.Fu Su slept for about eight hours in total this week, and it was because Mebius himself couldn't hold back and fell asleep lying on the desk.

At that time, he endured his drowsiness and carried Mebius to the lounge next door. After putting him on the only couch inside, he sat on the ground next to the sofa and fell asleep.

And it didn't wake up naturally. Mebius had hypoglycemia when he just woke up, and he didn't notice Fu Su who was sitting next to him in a daze, and then kicked him awake.

"So Dr. Mebius gave you a vacation, didn't she?"

"Yes, but Klein's vacation is over because of this. When Klein heard that her vacation was over, the expression on Klein's expression of being so lost that she couldn't love her really made people feel sympathetic. "

Fu Su recalled the way Klein walked towards the laboratory unsteadily with his hands drooping.At that time, Fu Su seemed to have seen a dark cloud above Klein's head, which was pattering down with light rain.

If it weren't for this incident, Miss Klein, who has never had a vacation after becoming a student of Mebius, might have forgotten what it feels like to be on vacation.

For Klein, if he uses words to describe that feeling, it should be a feeling of reaping the rewards of all hardships, sunny after rain, spring after dead trees, and even the rest of his life after catastrophe.

But as Mebius' assistant, vacation is a dream that can be touched but is absolutely difficult to reach. Maybe for Klein, this dream should not exist from the beginning. I am afraid it is a blessing for her. Bar.

If there is anything in this world that can be more painful than knowing how to cherish after losing it, it must be losing it and regaining it.

All in all, come on, Miss Klein.

"But Fu Su, in your current state, is it really okay to invite me out for a drink?"

Apart from the dark circles under the eyes that had turned into panda eyes, Fu Su's eyes were half-closed, and he shook his head from time to time to keep himself awake.

"Why don't we go to a coffee shop..."

"Don't talk about coffee, Eden, I think the most tiring thing this week is making coffee for Dr. Mebius."

"Eh? Why?"

Eden blinked her eyes in surprise, she didn't expect Fu Su to say that.

"She thought I was joking that she hadn't had any coffee other than instant coffee, so she asked me not to have the same cup of coffee after that, and not to be fooled by the different ratios of sugar and milk. She, the hardest part is she wants me to use the same beans."

"Ah...then you did it?"

A drop of cold sweat dripped down Eden's head. He used the same coffee beans to make each cup of coffee differently. He couldn't use the ratio of sugar and milk to cheat, and he made it for seven days.

"Well, it's barely done, although I still took advantage of the loophole."

"Can you tell me something?"
