People are in the Ark, and they become Gray Shu at the beginning

"Ugh……"

Thinking of this, Ying sighed helplessly while sitting in her temporary residence.

Naturally, she had no problem with her strength. Not to mention passing Saria's assessment, even defeating the so-called Terra Superman was not impossible.

However, Ying was a little worried that she would be discovered and eliminated. After all, Saria's character was that of a steely straight woman.

However, despite her worries, Sakura still submitted the application.

She is not the kind of person who hesitates because of worries. Since she has made a plan before, she will still give it a try no matter how difficult it is.

------------------

As the sun slowly sets, large patches of clouds are burned red, showing magnificent colors.

At this moment, Mobius Laboratory——

"call--"

Accompanied by a slightly heavy breathing sound, Mebius accurately stopped his movements, and after blinking his sore eyes, he calmly placed the newly prepared potion in his hand on the shelf beside him.

"The new medicine has been prepared. Next, we need to see the effect."

Mobius, whose face was already a little tired at the moment, had no intention of stopping. Instead, he cast his gaze on the cage containing experimental mice. The meaning was self-evident.

Several days have passed since the first time he met Ifrit, and the next "treatment" is about to begin. Mebius hopes to fulfill his agreement with the "guinea pig" before then.

In order to fulfill her promise to appease the little white mouse, Sheshe has not slept for several days. It can be said that she has been racing against time to do experiments since she came back from outside last time, with almost no delays.

As a result, many people in the Structural Engineering Department have been discussing Mobius behind her back, and some have even given her various titles such as "workaholic" and "work maniac".

After all, other researchers all go to get off work and come home normally, and even if they work overtime they won’t work too late, but... Mobius is different.

These days they have noticed that someone's office and laboratory are brightly lit 24 hours a day without interruption, which is outrageous.

……

"Squeak-"

"..."

Looking at the mouse in front of him, which was still safe and sound and lively after the injection and a series of experiments and observations, Mebius breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves slowly relaxed.

Afterwards, after hastily cleaning up the mess in the laboratory, Snake left the laboratory and walked towards his room in Rhine Life.

Even though Mebius was a fusion warrior, the high-intensity concentration experiment that kept her awake for several days had left her mentally exhausted.

So after the drug is successfully developed and only needs to wait for the clinical trials, Sheshe plans to take a good rest and recover his tired spirit.

----------------

At night, in Ifrit's room——

At this moment, Ifrit was rolling around in bed, feeling a little irritable and unable to sleep at all.

As for why this happened, it was of course because tomorrow was the treatment time that Hemer mentioned.

Although, with Hemer and Saria by his side, Ifrit can hold on, but... no one likes pain.

Even now, whenever Charmander thinks of the bone-gnawing pain he felt during the previous treatment, his entire body trembles uncontrollably.

Before, Ifrit was able to hold on only because he didn't want to disappoint Saria or worry Hemer, and he wanted to be the strong and good child in their eyes.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she was just a child... and was afraid of pain.

"snake……"

As if he had thought of something, Ifrit stopped rolling on the bed, supported himself with his arms and sat up, muttering to himself as he looked at the dark room.

To be honest, with the sweetness in my mouth completely gone that night, coupled with the fact that I had been

It was a quiet and normal night, and Even Ifrit could not help but doubt the authenticity of Mebius again.

I suspect that everything that happened that night was just a dream, or maybe just an illusion.

After all, Charmander now has nothing in his hand that can prove the existence of "Snake".

"Heh~ Little white mouse, it's so late and you're still not resting. Are you waiting for me to come and study you?"

Just as Ifrit was sitting on the bed in a daze, Mebius's recognizable childish voice sounded quietly in her ears.

"!"

Mebius's sudden words scared Ifrit at first, but she then reacted quickly, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she quickly turned her head to look in the direction of the voice.

"snake!"

"Really? I told you not to call me that."

Hearing Ifrit's surprised voice, Mebius paused slightly while fiddling with the finger guards, then said with some dissatisfaction.

"I thought you weren't coming."

Ifrit didn't pay any attention to Mebius's correction of his address, but continued to speak to her with excitement.

"You are my guinea pig. We have reached an agreement. How can I let you go before the agreement is fulfilled?"

Looking at the excited child in front of him, Mebius narrowed his gradient eyes slightly, and then continued:

"Okay, let's not waste any more time. Let's start tonight's inspection~"

ps: My body is already in a bad state, everyone, stay safe, see you tomorrow. Please urge me to recover.

Chapter 73 Ifrit's Choice

After a series of detailed inspections of Ifrit and checking the existing information in the laboratory, Mebius did not find any major problems. Everything was still under her control.

However, this routine checkup was not the main purpose of her coming here tonight. After all, this kind of checkup could be done any night for her, so there was no need to choose tonight.

"..."

Thinking of this, Mebius stopped what he was doing and stared at Ifrit silently with his glowing gradient snake eyes.

"?"

Noticing the look in Mebius' eyes, Ifrit tilted his head slightly, looked at her with a puzzled expression, and said, "What's wrong? Snake."

"Ha~"

Looking at the girl who was looking at him with innocent and ignorant eyes, Mebius suddenly chuckled as if thinking of something. He no longer cared about the name that he hated. Instead, he reached out his hand and gently stroked his lips, and said seductively:

"Little white mouse, I don't bother to deceive you, so I will give you the right to choose~"

"I have a potion here that can make your treatment by that group of people less painful, or even painless, but..."

At the critical moment, Mebius paused for a moment, the light in his beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and then he continued:

"This drug has not been tested successfully on cute mice, but has never been through clinical trials. After all, samples like yours are too rare."

"So, do you choose to inject this newly successful medicine tonight, or wait for a while in pain~"

After he finished speaking, Mebius narrowed his eyes slightly, then took out the potion he had prepared and placed it in front of Ifrit, quietly waiting for her decision.

In fact, Mebius originally wanted to conduct clinical trials, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate because Ifrit's condition and individuality can be said to be quite special.

After all, without similar cases and situations, injecting drugs for clinical trials would not achieve the drug effects that Mebius wanted to see.

Although in a sense... she could create an identical individual, she did not want to do such a "meaningless" thing, nor did she bother to do it.

In the end, time was running out, so she simply gave up this step and handed the choice directly to Ifrit.

"Eh……?"

After listening to Mebius's "long speech", Ifrit was slightly stunned, as if he had not reacted.

Obviously, she didn't expect Mebius to suddenly say such a long and informative speech.

"Hmm... um... let me think about it."

After coming back to his senses after a while, Ifrit did not answer in a hurry. Instead, he stretched out a hand to touch his chin, frowned, and looked like he was thinking hard.

However, this look did not last long, because after a while Charmander's gaze involuntarily drifted towards Mebius again.

"..."

Mebius noticed Ifrit's gaze and raised her eyebrows slightly, but she didn't say anything in the end. Because this was not the first time that the little brat in front of her looked at her with such eyes tonight.

At the beginning of the evening, she was still interested in teasing Charmander, but after seeing it so many times, she is no longer surprised.

"Well……"

Accompanied by a meaningless murmur, Ifrit slowly withdrew his gaze from Mebius and looked down at the potion in front of him, which was flashing a faint blue light under the dim light of the room.

In fact, I had already seen the snake tonight.

After the excitement faded, Ifrit noticed... noticed the hint of fatigue hidden in Mebius' eyes.

Although Snake was still teasing him as she came in like last time, but... Charmander still noticed it, noticed that she was different from last time.

However, even though she noticed it, Ifrit had never quite understood the reason before. But now... looking at the tube of potion in front of her, she found that she seemed to understand it.

It turned out that the night before was not a dream, and she did have an agreement with a "strange" guy... and while she was abiding by the agreement, she was also working hard to fulfill it.

"..."

To be honest, this realization gave Ifrit a strange feeling in his heart. A warm feeling...

Finally, Charmander raised his head again, looked at Mebius seriously for a moment, and then stated his choice.

"I believe in snakes!"

"..."

This short sentence made Mebius understand Ifrit's choice, but also made her fall into a brief silence.

However, this situation did not last too long. After a moment, Mebius lowered his eyes slowly as if he had heard a joke, and chuckled:

"Heh~ You actually chose to trust me? I hope you won't regret your choice~"

Although Sheshe's tone was exactly the same as before when she said these words, if someone could look directly into her eyes at this moment, they would find... a flash of complexity in them.

"I won't regret it!"

After hearing what Mebius said, Ifrit became unconvinced, and as if he wanted to prove his determination in a hurry, he spoke in a much louder voice.

"Then let's wait and see, little white mouse~"

After saying that, Mebius put away the potion on the bed, stopped looking at the girl on the bed, and turned around to make preparations.

"Well!"

Looking at someone turning and leaving, Ifrit couldn't help but puff out his cheeks with an unhappy expression.

After two times of getting along, Ifrit now has a little understanding of Mebius.

But she still didn't quite understand...

Sheshe is obviously good to me like Saria and Hemer, but why is she unwilling to admit it? And her words are so irritating...

the other side--

Mebius, who was preparing the dosage of the medicine, felt a little strange at the moment.

Because she had never thought tonight that Ifrit would choose to inject her with a drug that had not yet been clinically tested...

However, since the guinea pig had chosen it, Mebius would definitely not give up this great opportunity. After all, the potion was designed specifically for Ifrit, so it would be best to test it on her.

What's more, although she has some bottom line, strictly speaking, she is not a good person...

Of course, Mebius had eliminated the risks of this clinical trial. The worst outcome would be that the drug effect would not meet expectations, and Ifrit would still have to bear some of the pain of "treatment."

Chapter 74: Mebius's Unhappiness

"Well!"

As the dark blue potion was slowly injected into Ifrit's body, she couldn't help but let out a soft cry. Although she didn't move, a hint of surprise flashed in her big eyes.

Only when the potion was completely injected did Charmander sit up quickly and look at Mebius with passionate eyes.

"It's amazing. I feel so good now! I don't feel uncomfortable at all."

It can be said that this is the time when Ifrit's body is most comfortable since he came to Rhine Life, or even before.

Now that I was able to control and manage my body, I no longer felt any of the pain I had before, and my nerves were quite relaxed. Even... the sounds and images that had appeared in my mind from time to time had completely disappeared, leaving only quietness and comfort.

"Don't move. Wait a moment. I'll check you again."

Hearing this, Mebius was not surprised at all, but just reminded calmly.
