The immortal black snake just wants to live simply

"...I will take you to play with me next time."

Ceria said to Mobius who turned around and returned to the convenience store.

"..."

Coscich pretended not to hear anything.

'These short-lived species are quite cute occasionally. '

……

"I heard that you recently took experimental subjects out... If you continue to act recklessly, I will have to consider disqualifying you as the project leader."

"If you cancel, just cancel~"

"...What on earth are you thinking about?"

"Who knows~"

'After all, my thoughts are actually quite changeable~'

Chapter 30 Recruiting the genius Mobius

"Teacher, is the concentration of the reagent too high recently..."

"Hemer, you have to know that we can't just let Ifrit maintain the status quo. Our goal is to cure the ore disease."

"But……"

"It's nothing, Researcher Hemmer, I understand your concern for Ifrit, but currently we don't have a good plan to reduce her pain."

"But this plan is too risky..."

"The development of science itself starts from scratch! I look forward to the time when you figure it out, but now, in order for Ifrit's treatment to be successful, you are prohibited from contacting Ifrit from now on."

"...I understand, Director Parvis."

……

Helmer returned to the public office and carefully studied Ifrit's physical report.

"Researcher Hemmer, it's off-duty time now. Joyce applies to accompany Researcher Hemer."

A Liberian woman with white hair and yellow eyes, wearing a white coat, came to Hemer's table.

"Wait until I finish reading this report... By the way, Joyce, why are you hiding from Dr. Mobius?"

Hermione asked in confusion.

Ever since Mobius arrived, Joyce deliberately missed the place where Mobius appeared every time.

Even visiting Ifrit must be done after Mobius leaves.

"...The matter involved confidentiality regulations and Joyce refused to answer."

"Joyce used to work in a laboratory affiliated with Mobius."

"The specific situation there involves confidentiality regulations and cannot be said."

"Joyce can only tell you, be careful of Dr. Mobius, he is the most dangerous person in the entire Rhineland."

After hearing Joyce's warning, Helmer extinguished some of his original thoughts.

Seeing the way Helmer was hesitant to speak, Joyce thought that Helmer had not fully listened to her warning.

After all, Dr. Mobius's usual humor and liveliness always make people think that the other person is just a guy with a rather out-of-the-box thinking.

But Joyce would never forget what she encountered in the laboratory.

Although Joyce had just joined RWE at that time, she was already a moderately accomplished researcher.

She herself had never experienced the experiment that caused her to suffer from mineral sickness.

She was invited by Dr. Mobius to participate in the research and development of cloning technology.

She was taken into the laboratory by Mobius and saw hordes of 'Mobius'.

They have different expressions, and they feel as if they have independent consciousness.

'This is crazy. '

What frightened Joyce the most was that she found that she couldn't tell which one was the real Dr. Morbius.

She felt that each clone was exactly like Mobius.

'Is it really Mobius standing next to me and not a clone? '

After all, Joyce was just a small researcher at the time, and she didn't know that Mobius was an immortal.

She just thought the other person was a mad scientist.

Now, of course, it could be a bunch of mad scientists.

So, she ran away.

Mobius did not blame her, but instead apologized for scaring Joyce and once again invited her to participate in the development of cloning technology.

But Joyce refused.

She didn't want another 'Joyce' who looked exactly like her in the world.

……

"Oh~ Hemo~ I heard that you were removed from Ifrit's treatment program by the director~ This was not my fault~ What a pity~"

A green figure suddenly appeared next to Helmer and Joyce.

"The system has an error and has shut down... ZZZ."

Joyce suddenly fell asleep, and Helmer quickly helped her up and put her on a chair to sleep.

"Is this the researcher who had the audacity to inject the Origin Stone into the brain?"

Mobius asked curiously as he stood aside.

He had a vague impression of this researcher.

Mobius once invited this talented researcher to participate in the development of cloning technology.

At that time, cloning technology was still very crude, and clones could only survive for 10 minutes in the natural environment.

For the sake of convenience, Mobius personally controlled the clone to crawl out of the experimental cabin and put on clothes.

Because this generation of backward clones should be destroyed.

He originally planned to let these clones walk near the incinerator and then cut off contact.

But as luck would have it, Joyce happened to come to visit her future working environment.

'Then let these clones play their remaining value. '

Rheinland Life actually has strict requirements for employees to change laboratories, which requires the consent of both the laboratory and the employees.

Mobius thinks that Joyce has good qualifications and a promising future, and she is a potential stock.

So I plan to shock the other party first.

Just pretending to be like that [our technology is almost 90.00% completed, you just need to come over and complete the remaining one percent of the work, then your name will definitely be in the history books - Dr. Mobius and Researcher ××× and others jointly developed epoch-making technology].

Let’s trick the other party into it first.

'As long as I am vague, the other party will immediately misunderstand me. '

Coscich is familiar with this routine.

Just when he was about to show off his skills, he didn't expect that the other party was scared away.

'Why do guys who dare to risk their lives to participate in experiments with Originium implants in their brains be afraid of the development of cloning technology? '

Mobius originally thought that the other party was too timid, so he no longer cared.

But he also heard that the other party later participated in a dangerous experiment in which he was the experimental subject, which made Mobius very confused.

After all, in His opinion, those guys who are not even afraid of death, what else can make them retreat?

……

"Dr. Mobius, I wonder what brings you here?"

Helmer covered Joyce with a blanket, turned around and asked the guy who Joyce said was the most dangerous person in Rhineland.

"I'm here to tell you that next week is the time for Ifrit's surgery."

Mobius still had an incomprehensible smile on his face.

"Serea may not come here in the near future. That's right, after all, she is the director of the Defense Department, so she doesn't have that much time to spend with little Ifrit~"

"Dr. Mobius, can you advise the director? I think this treatment plan is still too dangerous..."

"Hemmer, Parvis is actually right. Before the first case is successful, this plan is a dangerous plan."

"But……"

"Ifrit herself is already severely infected, Hemo."

Mobius kept smiling and said softly:

"She doesn't have long to live."

"...Mobius, you are such a bastard!"

"Haha, many people have said this. You are not the first, and of course you will not be the last."

Chapter 31 Eat Right Cosiche

"Dear Ms. Seria, I thought at first that your purpose was to silence us."

"……What do you mean?"

"Please think about it carefully, is Haydn Pharmaceutical really capable of having such an advanced laboratory?"

"So I came here to find out the truth."

"...It seems that the rumors about the fierce power struggle within Rhine Life are true."

The detective who called himself the Tin Man handed Seria the document bag he had prepared for a long time.

"Please see."

There were four big characters written on that portfolio

——The Balrog Plan.

……

At night, Mobius walked into Ifrit's hospital room.

In the darkness, he put his hand on the sleeping Ifrit's head.

Ifrit began to struggle violently, but never woke up.

Her temperature gradually began to rise.

'Can't let her set the alarm off. '

Mobius used this body's source stone skill - [Illusion] on the siren, and began to increase his intensity.

His will turned into a black snake as thin as a finger and as long as an arm, and penetrated into Ifrit's mind.

Deep in Ifrit's consciousness, there are countless fragmented scenes.

Those are Ifrit's memories and mental activities.

Mobius accelerated his search.

Most of the will of this body was given to the clone, and its ability was reduced, making it impossible for him to find the Balrog fragments at once.

'Although Mobius is scary, I heard from Ceria that the reason why he is so strict is to help me improve myself so that I can live a good life in the future.Then let's give him a candy next time~'

Black Snake passed by a memory fragment.

'...This is not the Balrog Shard. '

Black Snake rummaged for another memory fragment.
