Collapse 3: The girl who chased the fire moth

Honkai 3: The Girl Who Chased Fire Moth Author: Nega Nebulus

Summary:

"Little white mouse, why did you come to my laboratory~" (excited)

"Because the treatment here is low, the salary is low, the workload is heavy, and there have been scandals of sudden death of employees and human experiments." (Seriously)

"...Shaking m?"

——"Infinite" Mebius

"Hi, are you the rumored problem rookie? I'm Alicia, the deputy leader of Thirteen Yingjie, what do you want to tell me?"

——"Real Me" Alicia

"Those eyes are already dead. I don't understand why you want to join the Flaming Moth, but I can't refuse Mei's decision. You... have already been trapped in a cage."

— “Salvation” Kevin

"Family, love, longing, desire... That guy has nothing on him, just like a delicate doll, which makes people feel irritated."

——"Destroy" Thousand Calamities

People in the world call hell the world, and greed as hope. They always dismiss silent anger, but they only have a soft spot for reasonable cruelty.

There is no hope in this world, just like moths chasing flames, only when they themselves are burned... will they know where they have walked.

I am such a moth chasing flames.

——"Purgatory" Meludina (Meltina)

Chapter 1 Problem Children

Ten years later

Metis University

"Doctor, will someone really join our lab..."

Standing at the recruitment site of "Mebius Laboratory", Cang Xuan had a hesitant expression on his face.

Except for their side, the other labs were surrounded by crowds, and the students tried their best to join in, but only their Mebius lab was avoided by the students like a snake.

Of course, this is not to say that this doctor named Mebius is not famous, but on the contrary...

She is so famous. As a scientist who has always been at the forefront of scientific research in the world, Mebius's name can be said to be known to everyone in the world.

but……

Her reputation is not so much famous as it is notorious.

"Don't go to the Mebius lab!"

This sentence has almost become the consensus of all colleges and universities.

"that……"

A faint voice sounded.

"So I said before, doctor, let's not come to the university to recruit people, it's embarrassing..."

Cang Xuan pressed his forehead, looked left and right, and said with an interested Mebius.

"Don't make noise, that boy over there..."

Mebius saw a tall handsome guy in the distance, licked his tongue,

"It's very suitable for this experiment..."

"Alas!!"

As if sensing something, the boy suddenly shuddered, and when he turned around, he saw the "legendary" Dr. Mebius smiling at him with a very "brilliant" smile.

"Wow wow wow wow?!"

Just as Mebius was about to say something, the boy stumbled away as if he had seen a scourge.

Seeing this scene, the crowd who should have been surprised reacted extremely calmly, and many people showed sympathy and understanding.

"it's a pity."

Seeing this, Mebius withdrew his gaze and spread his hands.

"Doctor... you are a little self-conscious."

Cang Xuan's expression became even more bitter.

"that……"

The voice that had been ignored from the beginning sounded again.

"kindness?"

Mebius froze for a moment, then lowered his head, but his sight was blocked by his chest, and subconsciously took half a step back, only to see a small girl standing there.

Black hair, black pupils, unusually fair skin, habitually looking to the right, giving people an inexplicable sense of distance.

"you are?"

Mebius bent down, looked at the girl, and asked.

"I am Melutina of Biology..."

Melutina wasn't very used to this kind of staring, but she didn't avoid it.

"I want to join Mebius Lab."

"what?!"

Cang Xuan's eyes widened, and he shook twice on the spot,

"Little...student, you...you are still young, think, think about it..."

"...Little girl, I only accept doctoral students~"

Mebius ignored Cangxuan's off-line speech, but actually said with "common sense" that he only accepts students with a certain academic foundation.

"I am."

Melutina handed out the document that she had been holding all along.

"Well... let me see, Melutina, 16 years old, a student of Professor XXX of XXXX University, has obtained a doctorate degree, and has published papers on XXXXXX, XXXXX..."

After reading Melutina's information carefully, Mebius tilted his head and thought for a while, then handed the information to Cang Xuan next to him, and asked,

"Small rat, why did you join my lab?"

Cang Xuan, who took the information, gasped after confirming that it was correct.

According to the resume and age recorded in the data, this girl is definitely a top student among top students, enough to apply for any company or research institute in the world, but she actually wants to join... Mebius Lab?

"Because I heard that the treatment here is low, the salary is low, the workload is heavy, and there have been scandals of sudden death of employees and human experiments."

Facing Mebius' question, Melutina said seriously.

"...Shaking M?"

Cang Xuan couldn't help trembling again as he almost lost his grip on the information in his hand. Young people nowadays... have such strong tastes?

"The sudden death of an employee is a rumor~~"

Mebius didn't take it seriously, but justified the insignificant part lazily.

"It's okay, the rest is true, right? Then it's okay, please let me join."

Melutina said calmly.

Her expression is so calm, if she didn't know that she was going to Dr. Mebius' laboratory, Cangxuan must have thought that she had negotiated salary terms with some big company.

"Huo Huo... I didn't say that, my laboratory is not well received by others. With your qualifications, you can choose a better and more stable place~~"

Mebius surprisingly did not accept immediately, but asked.

"...It turns out that you are self-conscious, doctor, so why do you drag me to the school every year to do field work?"

Cang Xuan's eyes twitched and asked.

"Let's see if there are any new mice... Keke, the assistant of the experiment."

The kind on the bench.

Mebius added in his heart.

"about this issue……"

Melutina replied seriously,

"I'm sick."

"Well, I can tell."

Mebius readily accepted this statement.

It's not that she's sick... Why does a good and talented student come to her?It's not like Cangxuan and Danzhu are dragging oil bottles.

Of course, Klein was a beautiful accident.

"If it's going well, I'll be restless and uncomfortable, so I think..."

Melutina thought for a while and said,

"It's been a little bit."

"..."

This child is really seriously ill, and it is impossible for a decent person to come to us!

Cangxuan felt that he agreed with himself.

"Is this mental illness?"

Mebius asked curiously.

"No... Although I have "emotional deficit disorder", it should have nothing to do with this."

Melutina shook her head and said.

"...You still have "emotional deficit disorder"."

What kind of rare problem child is this!

"Interesting, I'll take it. Cangxuan, get ready to pack up and get off work."

Mebius suddenly and readily agreed to Melutina's request, and said.

"Wait for me downstairs in your dormitory tomorrow, and I'll take you to my laboratory, uh..."

Mebius thought for a while, then patted the girl on the shoulder,

"Melutina."

...............

on the highway

"Doctor...Although it's great to have newcomers in the lab to help, but is it really good to promise so readily?"

Cang Xuan drove the car, and asked Mebius, the co-pilot,

"I always feel... this child is not simple."

"Her birthplace is written as the city of Hera."

Mebius rested his chin on his right hand and replied meaningfully.

"........."

Hearing this, Cang Xuan's hand holding the steering wheel slightly loosened, then clenched again.

"An interesting kid, isn't he?"

As if talking to himself, Mebius said softly.
