Collapse 3, the opening made the Yingjies regret for life

Klein hesitated for a few seconds, his eyes wandered and said: "I haven't eaten yet, but this is not very good..."

"It's okay, I have to prepare it for everyone anyway, one more for you is not too much, if you like it, I will bring you a copy in the future... After all, there may be something to bother Klein in the future, and you don't charge money , just take it as a thank you gift."

On the one hand, Lie's hospitality was difficult to turn down, and on the other hand, Klein was indeed a little curious, so she agreed to stay and have dinner with everyone with half-heartedness.

Then--

After Cangxuan and Danzhu, Klein became the next to fall.

——Damn it, how could it be so delicious!

In the end, under the temptation of delicious food, Klein's conscience and integrity were defeated one after another, and he also joined the ranks of Cengfan - anyway, if Mebius is reimbursed, why not do it?

Since then, Lie has contracted the meals for everyone in the First Research Institute, his daily life has become busier, and the time he can spend alone with Aponia has also been greatly shortened.

This made Alponia slightly dissatisfied, but on the other hand, seeing Lie so popular and living such a fulfilling daily life made her feel happy from the bottom of her heart. The combination of the two diametrically opposed feelings made her often fall into In the tangle of contradictions.

Qian Jie is happy to see the success of this. Although he can't understand that these people have caused so much trouble for Lie, since he can effectively restrain Aponia, it should be regarded as a balance of merit and demerit, and Mebius An empty test field was also specially allocated for him and Lie as a martial arts practice field, so that they could have a good fight - the test field is very durable, enough for Qianjie to let go of his hands and feet.

Therefore, Qian Jie is not dissatisfied at all. He is satisfied enough to be able to fight against Lie and eat meals made by Lie himself. However, compared with the time in the nursing home in the past, his life today is a bit too idle. It made him a little uncomfortable - there was neither a daily job, nor a group of little kids to take care of, and Lie was also busy with various things every day, so he couldn't spend a whole day with him...

It can be said that Qianjie, Aponia and Patuo, who followed Lie, have become the three most idle people in the institute today. They have a lot of time to squander. Fortunately, the big guys have their own ways to pass the time, and they have Klein helped solve the needs, and learned to surf the Internet under her guidance. Padu was even arrested by Aponia for literacy education... These fellow villagers from Twilight Street are also living a fulfilling life.

Originally, Klein was also very free, but as the conscientious person of the First Research Institute, she couldn't bear it ever since she heard about Mebius' embarrassment from Cong Lie. It didn't take long before she took the initiative to end her vacation and returned to her own among the positions.

And Klein's return directly helped Mebius relieve a lot of burden, and supplemented by Lie's daily care, she was suddenly surprised to find that she could actually sneak in like Cangxuan and Danzhu!

Then, this little spare time was taken up by Lie Wuqing—either taking her to move her body, or giving her a deep massage, or trying to let her do a little exercise, and occasionally making some desserts to reward her... ...In short, Lie really broke his heart for her body, supervised her meticulously like a strict father, and cared for her meticulously like a loving mother.

So for this painful and happy life, Mebius actually didn't have many complaints, but rather indulged in it, and even faintly had dark and selfish thoughts-if he could monopolize everything he had, how much would it be? OK.

Although Lie is currently the most concerned about her affairs due to her unfavorable physical condition, but at the same time he is also trying his best to take care of other people's feelings, especially when getting along with Aponia, even though it looks the same on the surface, But Mebius could clearly feel that Alponia held a huge weight in Lie's heart, which he was far inferior to.

For me, a latecomer, this is a matter of course, but Mebius still inevitably felt a little jealous, and then came up with more selfish, darker, and childish thoughts—if my body never recovers and remains in such a bad state , Will it be able to occupy most of his attention all the time?

After all, this care has a time limit. Lie only promises to protect her health before she transforms herself into a fusion fighter. As for what will happen afterward, he didn't say anything, but it's conceivable.

Thinking that she couldn't occupy Lie for a long time, Mebius felt inexplicably very irritable, and even the food in her mouth didn't taste good... Well, it wasn't good at all, it wasn't a familiar taste to her, and it couldn't taste like stuffed food. Fill her heart like a full belly.

Mebius stopped eating expressionlessly, stared at Lie's eyes resentfully and aggrievedly, and said in a sour tone: "You didn't do this, did you?"

"Huh? Can you tell the difference?" Lie was stunned for a moment, and then admitted very honestly, and told the whole story like a bamboo tube pouring beans: "Yes, these are made by Aponia, she said I don’t want to see me working so hard anymore, and wanted to lighten my burden, so she cooked the rice for me today. I tried it and thought it tasted good. Cangxuan, Danzhu and Klein also talked about it. Praise, but Mebius, you don't seem to like it very much... Is it not to your liking?"

As soon as he heard that it was done by that enviable woman, Mebius' heart sank, and the expression on his face immediately became extremely gloomy, like a depressing and gloomy thundercloud.

Although Mebius remained silent, the appearance of her that almost had the word "dislike" directly written on her forehead already explained everything. Suspicions arose in Lie's heart. He put down the spoon and picked it up with chopsticks in disbelief. I threw a piece of braised tenderloin into my mouth, chewed it carefully, and frowned unconsciously——I didn’t notice any difference after eating it?Isn't this similar to what I do?

Mebius saw his confusion, and explained blankly: "It's delicious, but it doesn't taste like you...I don't like it very much."

Lie was in a daze, tilted his head and asked, "My taste?"

"A metaphor."

Mebius calmly withdrew her gaze, then turned her head and stared at the computer screen solemnly. Although she looked calm on the surface, her earlobes hidden behind the tips of her hair were already flushed, indicating that her Emotions were turbulent, and it was definitely not as calm as it seemed on the surface.

While using work to cool her brain and heart, she explained calmly: "Actually, it doesn't refer to the taste, but the feeling of you cooking... The meals you cook with your own hands have a special feeling to me." It's a feeling that no one can replace."

Lie nodded as if he understood, and even shook the stupid hair on his head a few times: "Oh...that is to say, the food made by Aponia lacks this special feeling for you, so you You don't feel happy, do you?"

"..."

It is still a bit difficult for Mebius to directly admit this embarrassing fact, but in order to prevent his future diet from being replaced by the 'fake' made by Alponia, Mebius hesitated again and again, and finally Still mustering up the courage, he went all out and said bluntly: "Well, compared to the one made by Aponia, I still prefer the one prepared by Lie for me...because it can bring me a pleasant mood that lasts all day."

As soon as he finished speaking, a blush involuntarily appeared on Mebius' delicate side face. Although she strained the expression on her face to the limit, she was very panicked in her heart—in case he asked why I How to answer?

Fortunately, Lie doesn't like to get to the bottom of it, because he knows very well that even if he asks the truth about many things about human beings, he may not be able to figure it out, so he prefers to focus on the part that he can figure out—since Mebiu He confessed that he prefers the food he cooks, and it can bring her a good mood all day, so it's better to eat it yourself.

Thinking of this, Lie didn't ask, but nodded straightforwardly: "So that's it, I understand, I'll tell Aponia later, let me do it myself in the future."

—Nice!Great!

Mebius was ecstatic in her heart, and even wanted to sing a song with a bit of damage to her image, but she finally held back, because Lie was so close, she didn't want to leave a bad impression on him, let alone let him Suspicious.

Mebius, who is dubbed the snake by the world, will also show similar habits to snakes in the face of emotions-she will not be concerned about anything or any details until she is sure to swallow her prey whole. Take it lightly.

Therefore, in the end, she suppressed the ecstasy in her heart with her strong self-control ability, and immediately swept away the haze on her face, showing a dignified and elegant smile: "Lie, thank you for tolerating my willfulness."

Lie waved his hand indifferently and said: "It's nothing, it's a trivial matter... Do you want me to go back and make another one for you now? Today's time is relatively abundant, and we can support our squandering like this."

Hearing this, the smile on Mebius's face couldn't help but brighten a bit, she shook her head lightly, and the white Rou Yi quietly left from the keyboard, holding Lie's wrists respectively, and lifted his hips away from the stool. Stayed, and said softly: "You don't need to be so troublesome, let's just make do with it today, if I see you making an extra trip for me, I won't be in a good mood...ah~"

After that, she let go of her hands, and slightly opened her lips in Lie's direction with a smile on her face, like a bird crying for food, waiting for her mother's feeding with full expectation.

——Not to mention Cangxuan and Danzhu, even Klein, who walked closest to Mebius, would have been shocked by this scene, and his brain would tremble... Has the sun come out from the west? ?That Mebius who sealed love and locked love like a monastic old woman would actually show such a coquettish little girl's posture?

Fortunately, Lie has long been used to this, and felt that there was nothing unusual, so he just nodded when he heard this, and then continued to feed Mebius carefully and attentively.

Although the food was not very palatable, with Lie's guarantee and feeding, Mebius' mood was revived, and now she found it easy to swallow. While enjoying Lie's meticulous care, she quickly finished the rest Work, just happened to type the last character while swallowing the last bite.

Mebius immediately fell back on the back of the chair, and stretched slowly. The beautiful scene on her chest jumped twice with her movement, almost coming out of the tight clothes... It's a pity that such a beautiful scenery still failed to attract Lie's attention. He was still as calm as before, with no fluctuations in his eyes or expression.

However, Mebius is already used to Lie’s flat reaction—these days, there have been many, many similar romantic scenes, but none of them could arouse Lie’s desire, just like what Aponia said, this A child is as pure as a piece of paper, without any desire or idea in this regard.

——But Mebius is sure that he has that function.

——And...it must be very powerful.

——Well, it seems that X education is imminent, such a good boy can't be abducted by others.

Just when Mebius was watching and admiring Lie's amazingly beautiful face, while leisurely diverting his thoughts, an untimely prompt sound abruptly broke this beautiful and quiet time.

— Tsk.

Mebius put away her thoughts in dissatisfaction, not only groaning in displeasure in her heart, but also bluntly showing disgust and impatience on her face, she roughly took out the small terminal in her pocket, turned on the screen, The expression on his face slowly became serious...

At Mebius' request, Lie, who stayed with her, saw the change in the other's expression, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, Mebius?"

After reading the last communication, Mebius silently turned off the screen of the terminal, then put it back into his pocket, and then said to Lie very seriously: "Lie, come out with me in two days...well, just you Stay with me and the others in the First Research Institute."

Chapter 190 IV: Aponia doesn't want to be a vase (4.2k)

Lie asked naturally: "What's wrong?"

Mebius replied succinctly: "The meeting time has been set, and it will be two days later. I will need your cooperation then, is it okay?"

Lie Ming nodded: "Of course it's no problem. I'll tell Aponia and the others later... is there anything else I need to do?"

Mebius thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head lightly: "Not for the time being, the tests that should be done these days, the data that should be collected, and materials such as analysis reports and papers are all ready... Now it can be said that everything is ready. I only owe the east wind."

Hearing this, Lie immediately remembered the content of the previous conversation with Mebius, and then asked: "After this, I will join the ranks of the flame-chasing moths, right?"

Mebius couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then nodded in acknowledgment, and then questioned: "That's right, what's wrong?"

Lie said hesitantly: "Since I joined Flame Chasing Moth, based on my position, there is a high probability that I will be incorporated into combat-related positions. If I have to go out to perform missions, I won't have so much time for everyone to cook and Supervising your work and rest..."

Hearing this, Mebius waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "You can rest assured about this, with the temperament of Klaus and those old guys, they will definitely set up a separate organization for you, and there is a high probability that ordinary trivial matters will not be dispatched." You dispatch, and only when a large-scale, high-intensity collapse occurs, they will consider letting you dispatch...they still understand the principle of killing a chicken with a sledgehammer."

In order to enhance the convincing power of his words, Mebius gave the example of Alicia: "For details, you can refer to Alicia. Her combat power at this level is generally kept on standby at the headquarters, unless she volunteers. Otherwise it's usually pretty laid back."

Lie's brows tightened even tighter: "But it will be affected after all... If I'm not here, can you really realize it?"

Mebius fell silent for a moment, and after a while, she dodged her eyes and replied uncertainly: "Probably...can you?"

Seeing her unsure look, Lie knew that she could not be expected to discipline herself, she had to be followed by someone else, otherwise, if she had been out on missions for a long time, Mebius would fight back to her original form what to do?Wouldn't that be a complete waste of previous efforts?

——Yes, wouldn’t it be good to let Alponia take over at that time?She also has a magical ability called 'discipline', even if Mebius is not willing or cooperative, it will not be difficult for her at all.

While thinking about it, Alponia's figure suddenly appeared in Lie's mind, and many of the original problems were solved instantly. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the plan of letting Alponia replace him was feasible, so he told Mebius: "When the time comes If I go out to carry out the task, let Aponia do it for me, she will definitely not refuse... Don't look at her disobedient even though her tone is very soft, she seems to be easy to talk, if she gets angry, it will last for thousands of kalpas would be terrified.”

--real or fake?

Even though Mebius knew that Lie would not lie, such a fantasy still made him frown involuntarily.

She suddenly remembered Aponia's physical examination report, which indeed showed that Aponia's physical fitness was excellent, much higher than the average, but in front of supermen like Qianjie and Lie, Aponia's data was nothing at all... ...That perverted, violent and arrogant Qianjie would actually be afraid of this weak and weak woman?What is he afraid of?Are you afraid that Aponia will run to Lie to sue Lie in a fit of anger and let him beat Qianjie to death?

But no matter what, Mebius didn't like this nagging woman very much, let alone let her control him. She said with some resistance: "...Can I refuse?"

After getting acquainted with Mebius these days, Lie roughly figured out her temper, and knew that some things cannot be controlled by her temper, or all previous efforts would be wasted, so he decisively rejected her request: "No! About this matter Things, your credit value with me is negative, I really can't believe that after leaving the supervision of others, you can still maintain your self-awareness."

"..."

—Let’s not talk about you, in fact, even I can’t believe myself.

Mebius murmured in her heart quite self-aware, when she thought that Lie would go out to perform missions in the future, not only would she not be able to take the opportunity to relax, but she would also be under the control of a troublesome woman, her mood instantly fell to the bottom, and she became extremely bored .

Looking at Lie's serious and serious face, Mebius knew that she couldn't resist, she turned her head away with a reddish face, and stammered in an unnatural tone: "Remember, remember, come back early... , I don’t get along very well with Alponia... If you come back too late, maybe I can’t help but fight with her.”

"You don't want to see our swords drawn, do you? And if you've been away for a long time, we'll be very worried about you, so, so you must come back early, understand?"

Lie stared at Mebius's increasingly ruddy side face seriously, and nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I will definitely... After all, I don't worry about you either."

As if shy about Lie's gaze, Mebius fixed her vision on the computer screen abruptly, but due to the notification just came, the rest of the projects were tragically sealed. I have fallen into a state of having nothing to do, so the moment my hands touch the keyboard, they freeze suddenly. I don't flick my fingers like in the past, and even my brain is blank.

Without a job to distract her, the shyness accumulated in her heart suddenly became the first factor to torture her body and mind... What should I do?After saying such embarrassing words, I have no face to stay in the same room with Lie... Do I want to escape?Then where are you going to escape?

Although her heart was beating wildly, she appeared calm and composed, but in fact she had already fallen into a silent panic on the verge of the limit, and was thinking of some reasonable excuse to leave this place.

Fortunately, Lie didn't notice Mebius' abnormal state. Just before she was about to lose his composure, he finished packing the tableware and lunch box, and immediately got up to say goodbye to Mebius: "Then I'll go back first, wait I will see you next time, remember not to work too hard, take a rest when you are tired, understand?"

— Huh, this suffocating and embarrassing situation is finally over...

Mebius secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and then gave up the idea of ​​fleeing the scene, and sat back in a relaxed manner with his buttocks gently pressed against the stool, ready to stand up at any time, looking at the back of Lie Lie, and responded imperceptibly He said, "Hmm."

……

Lie took the last lunch box and walked straight to his dormitory—in order to lighten Lie’s burden as much as possible, except for the workaholic Mebius, everyone would gather in his dormitory for dinner, and after eating, they would take turns to clean up the dishes and go back to the dormitory. Leave, so Lie actually only needs to clean up Mebius's tableware and lunch box, and the others will not cause him any trouble.

Originally, Aponia was happy to do the work for her, but Klein and the others were not as shameless as that, and seeing Qianjie in that violent posture would automatically and consciously wash the dishes after eating, they were even more embarrassed to sit back and enjoy the rewards. One or two justly rejected Aponia's kindness and insisted on taking turns washing the dishes with everyone.

Although washing the dishes is a bit tiring, it is worthwhile to enjoy the fresh and delicious dishes that change in turns, not to mention that they do not have to wash them every day.

Gradually, taking advantage of the opportunity of getting together for dinner, everyone changed from being cautious at the beginning to becoming acquainted today. The three girls from the First Research Institute quickly made friends with Aponia and Patuo. After making friends, he no longer keeps secrets about Qiankalpa as he did at first.

Of course, even if they were familiar with the existence of Qianjie, they did not dare to casually chat with him or make fun of him like they did with Aponya and Patuo.

After all, unlike a good boy like Lie who has a terrifying aura and a gentle heart, Qian Jie is hard to get along with, even Patuo, who was born in Dusk Street and has known Qian Jie for a long time, dare not provoke him at will. And the vicious mouth will only end up deflated when facing Shanglie or Aponia.

Speaking of this, what surprised Aponia most was the attitude of Klein and the others towards Lie. They accepted Lie's existence smoothly, and even later overcame their fear and dared to take the initiative to contact Lie. strong……

This not only surprised Aponia, but also strengthened her thoughts - as long as she persisted without being discouraged, Lie would be accepted by more and more people, until quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, and sooner or later she would be crushed The world's prejudice against him!

So, not only chatting during the meal, Aponia even started to contact them in private, and revealed information about Lie to them intentionally or unintentionally. , all showed righteous indignation, and even the attitude towards Lie later became more friendly and gentle.

Not only that, but Aponia also obtained a lot of information related to the outside world from them, gradually uncovering the mystery of the fire moth... Although the uncovering is limited, at least it will not be the same as before. I don't know about the third question.

Different from Qianjie who is simple and easy to satisfy, and also different from Patuo who is easy to meet, after moving into the First Research Institute with Lie from Dusk Street, Aponia has always had a hurdle in his heart that cannot be overcome-faced by this unobservable In the chaotic future, what else can he do for Lie?

And the answer is undoubtedly cruel, even if she has the magical power called 'discipline', even if Lie is a little far away, she can still observe the existence of fate, but she still can't help, she can only watch Looking at Lieding at the forefront.

After learning about the nature and goal of the Moth, Alponia immediately realized that Lie would face up against Honkai sooner or later, and based on his strength, every attack must mean fighting against the strongest In this kind of destructive duel, maybe Qianjie can help a little, but I don’t care if I have thin arms and legs. I will stay behind and do some small things for him within my ability, and then wait for him Triumph is already the limit.

She hated being so powerless.

What's more, what's even more worrying is that in addition to having to bear the most difficult part of the battle, Lie also bears the cruel fate of the Gate Line - Lie has always been defenseless against her. She finally understood the full picture of the previous Twilight Street incident, including all the words Dr. Saotome said to Lie in the cracks of the Gate Line.

Therefore, Alponia's understanding of the fate of the Gate line is of course more profound.

Although human beings are temporarily not qualified to use the Gate Line, fate can be postponed... But it is only a delay, and it does not mean that the problem has been solved. Once humans have the corresponding qualifications, the Gate Robot Project can be implemented His fate will come eventually, and no one can escape it.

At that time, in addition to fighting against Honkai, Lie will have to cross the trial of the Gate Line with mankind, from a small planet to a vast universe...

——but here comes the problem.

Lie is the darling of the Gate Line, not the darling of humans.

Even if he is willing to become the North Star that guides the future, human beings are not necessarily willing to follow in his footsteps.

Even humans will not thank him.

——She is not powerless about this matter. She can use the power of 'discipline' to plant a mental seal on key people to prevent the possibility of their backstabbing.

——But once the power of the 'discipline' is used, the result often backfires.

In this regard, Aponia has a very rich experience in car overturning, so unless she is forced to do so, she will never impose a "commandment" on people lightly. Just untie it.

In the final analysis, it is because I am not strong enough, and I cannot control my own power as freely as Lie... In this way, I can neither fight side by side with Lie and go to the future together, nor can I watch his back and block all kinds of hidden arrows for him I am too weak and powerless, too sad and deplorable.

——If only I could continue to grow stronger through training and fighting like Qianjie.

Suddenly, Aponia thought of the Fusion Warrior project that Mebius had brought up before, and she heard Lie mention it later. This is a magical method that can remake people, get rid of shackles, and become a superman... It has a success rate of [-]. low.

While frowning and thinking, Aponia, who was walking in the corridor, bumped into Lie who came out of the dormitory head-on. Her reaction was a bit slow, and Lie took the lead to greet her, "Hey, Aponia."

——Remember that I taught him the modal particle 'yo'.

After escaping from the complicated thoughts and returning to reality, Aponia looked directly at Lie's golden pupils, with a warm smile on his face involuntarily: "Lie, welcome back, how is Mebius going?" ?”
