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

When the old woman didn't continue the conversation, Quintus began looking at him with concern again.

Quintus continued, "She has a fairly large wound on her body and some problems in her brain. Her treatment will take more time. Please believe me, okay?"

Quintus tried to comfort his wife for a while, he knew why this happened.

It's just a simple transference effect.

Her son refused to eat the twisted thing and was starved to death, so she thought of the equally poor lady at this moment.

After a person's sustenance disappears, he will look for another one. If it weren't for her help, hiding it from the people in the Inquisition, he wouldn't be able to get such a good experimental subject.

It took a while, but the old woman got the assurance and decided to return to her mansion.

But Quintus didn't want her to live, as her body wouldn't last for a few days. He also didn't want the secret to be passed on to the next person, as kind people are always kind, and when she was dying, this secret might not be a secret anymore.

A cautious person must always be cautious, and a lion will use all its strength even when fighting a rabbit.

Prudence has always been a virtue.

However, Quintus did not intend to dirty his hands. He watched the old woman leave the church and said, "Let her rest in peace in the alley, and then I will preside over a decent funeral for her."

He walked with his hands in his pockets, very slowly, as if he was floating on the sea, as if he was stepping on soft sand, without making any sound.

Pardo observed Quintus's movement. For a thief, the distribution of the church area was quite familiar. The action just now made her believe that Quintus must be moving towards the church cemetery.

So, it's in the tomb?

The cat is not stupid, the other party's intention has exposed the location. So the next step is to enter the tomb to explore?

But just as she was about to follow Quintus, Quintus suddenly stopped and looked towards the warning room...

Instantly, Padu knew that she had to leave...

Chapter 3 Mobius's Purpose

As a deep-sea bishop, Quintus thought he was cautious and his intuition was fairly accurate. So after noticing something unusual, he simply trusted his intuition and stopped.

Something was watching him, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

To be honest, Quintus hadn't felt this way for a long time. After all, after joining the group, he had always relied on his compatriots to monitor others, so he couldn't tolerate others staring at him...

He looked in the direction of the warning room, and finally, out of caution, decided to investigate and find out what he had just felt.

After coming up with the idea, Quintus moved towards that direction. Within a short distance, in a short moment, his body moved to the door at an incredible speed.

Quintus arrived at the door without any hesitation. He quickly opened the door of the warning room and looked inside.

He had already used his fastest speed to block the door. He didn't believe that any little mouse could sneak away under his nose.

"...?"

However, although the idea was beautiful, the empty room in reality was like a slap in the face, which stunned Quintus.

He was sure that he had felt the sense of being watched before, but where was the person? Could it be that someone could turn invisible or teleport? How was that possible?

While thinking, Quintus began to contact his compatriots who were monitoring the church, asking them if they had discovered the intruder.

After receiving a negative answer from his compatriot, he was still confused, but he reluctantly put his mind at ease. He would never allow the secrets of the church to be discovered by the Inquisition.

Finally, after contacting his compatriots and asking them to strengthen surveillance of the surrounding area, Quintus walked slowly and cautiously towards the depths of the tomb.

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

At the same time, in a basement in Yanfeng City.

The air in the basement was filled with the faint smell of disinfectant mixed with chemical reagents, forming a disgusting odor.

In the center of the room, there was a stone dissection table covered with a white cloth. The human-shaped bulge under the white cloth silently told what had happened here before.

The temporary owner of this basement, Mebius, was holding his recording device, and it was unknown what he was recording.

And at the moment when her hands stopped moving, Padua's familiar voice sounded in her mind, stuck in time.

"Wow, Sister Snake, let me tell you, it was a close call before. We were almost discovered by that bishop!"

"Oh, thank you for your hard work, Phyllis~" Hearing this, Mebius, who knew that Padu had completed the task, rarely teased her, but spoke in a lazy tone.

"Ahahaha, it's not hard, it's just a small matter... Sister Snake, the experimental site you are looking for should be under the tomb."

After hearing what Mebius said, Padua explained while laughing.

"We saw the bishop walking over there. There is only one possibility for him to go to such a place at this time. But how to sneak in is up to you, Sister Snake. I can't help you with that."

"Hmm... I understand." After listening to Padu's explanation, Mebius slowly put down the instrument in his hand.

In fact, Sheshe knew the approximate location of the testing site he was looking for, but he was not sure about the specific location of the entrance.

"Okay, let's stop here for now. I don't need you here for the time being. Go and play with your friends at Longmen~" After sorting out the general situation in his mind, Mebius raised his eyes and said to Padu slowly in his mind.

"Hey, bye, Sister Snake! And take care of yourself." After saying these two words, Padu ended the conversation with Mebius at the speed of light.

What a joke! She knew Sister Snake's character. What if she hesitated for a while and she suddenly changed her mind and dragged her to explore the way?

Think about the weird atmosphere of Saltwind City, Da Me! It must be Da Me!

"Heh~" Hearing this, Mebius couldn't help but chuckle softly. He didn't say anything else, but turned his attention back to the instrument.

Although Sheshe took the next action seriously, that was all he took.

She had already decided on the plan, which was to simply and violently invade directly from the entrance, so there was no need for her to waste time on this now.

After all, as long as she wanted, these little white mice under the sea couldn't stop her...

As for why Mebius, who is smart and likes to hide in the dark, would choose such a rough method to invade...of course it's because she has no choice!

The location of the laboratory she wanted to invade was perfect. It was in a cave beneath the city. Not only was it surrounded by the sea, but it was also guarded by Hai Si.

From the very beginning, Snake had only two choices: either find the entrance and invade violently, or enter the ocean and kill the swarms of sea snakes in the sea in a more violent manner to invade.

Considering that these little white mice in the sea are connected by mind and blood, Mebius chose the former because he didn't want to make things too complicated.

To be honest, if the target of her trip could appear in front of her automatically, she really would be too lazy to bother dealing with those guinea pigs in the sea, except during experiments of course.

"..."

Thinking of his goal this time, Mebius couldn't help but slightly narrow his gradient snake eyes, and then revealed a determined smile.

She is determined to capture the "little white mouse" Laurentina, or the ghost shark, who is still imprisoned in the underground laboratory.

That's right, this time Snake went to so much trouble to hire someone to investigate and to infiltrate violently, all for the purpose of snatching this deep-sea hunter from Quintus.

In fact, from the very beginning, Mebius had not yet set her sights on the ghost shark. Her purpose of coming to the beach was only to do some investigations and catch some sea sharks for research.

Because before she arrived at the beach, neither she nor other "selves" could be sure whether the deep-sea hunter had been rescued or reached the island.

However, it was not until Mebius arrived here in person, investigated, and discovered that the ghost shark had not been rescued yet that he changed his original idea and turned his attention to the imprisoned deep-sea hunter.

There is no way. Compared with the group of things in the water that would pollute one's mind if one looked at them for a second, Sheshe still prefers Laurentina, the little white mouse.

Moreover, not everyone can have the combination of Agor + Haisi + Originium...

Stopping the messy thoughts in his mind, Mebius returned to his work, quietly waiting for the dawn of tomorrow.

Chapter 4 Action and Invasion

Qianqian was busy in the basement all night. After Mebius looked at the time and confirmed that it was almost time, he stood up and stretched his slightly stiff body.

According to Sheshe's previous investigation, there will be a gathering organized by Quintus at the church today. Although it is of no great use, it is better than nothing. At least it can be regarded as an opportunity. She plans to use it to start her own action.

Because he had no intention of coming back after his success, Mebius quickly cleaned up the basement which he was using as a temporary laboratory while it was still early.

Pack up all the useful things and take them away, and destroy the useless things on the spot without leaving any trace.

After doing all this, Sheshe slowly left the basement and came to the house above. She walked to the window and stretched out her hand to open it.

At this moment, the salty and humid sea fog outside had long disappeared, replaced by the sun that had risen from the sea level at some point in time, and the cold sunlight that fell on this historic but dilapidated town.

Retracting his gaze, Mebius did not waste any more time. He turned around, opened the door and walked out.

The streets were empty and quiet at this moment, with none of the hustle and bustle of the past. Only a few seagulls were circling over the abandoned stalls, occasionally making a few shrill cries, breaking the silence.

Most of the houses on both sides of the road are dilapidated, with the exposed wooden structures blackened by the erosion of time, the windows closed, the doors locked, rejecting all visitors.

The whole city was filled with a gloomy atmosphere, making people feel uneasy and uncomfortable.

Of course, Mebius was not among those who felt uncomfortable and uneasy. She had seen enough of the desolate scenes here in the past few days.

Because she was not affected at all, Sheshe walked towards the church quickly and briskly, and she arrived at her destination in a short while.

There weren't many people in the church at the moment, but they weren't few either, at least there were more people than when the Inquisition held worship services. After all, in this hungry town, there probably weren't many people who could resist handing out food during worship services.

Of course, the Deep Sea Church is now in a period of expansion, and they will not reject anyone who wants to attend the worship service, because they have enough "food" to meet the needs of these people.

It was for this reason that, even though Mebius's attire and temperament were incompatible with this city, he still did not waste any effort and entered the dilapidated church openly.

The believers in the church who believe in the Mother Goddess enthusiastically serve everyone who enters the hall to listen. Of course, if you refuse them, they will not force you to listen to their speech.

Here, everything is "voluntary".

After scaring away the people who wanted to disturb him with his eyes, Mebius just sat by the side door and looked at everything in the church silently, as quiet as a scholar who came to see out of curiosity.

However, in reality, Snake was just waiting for an opportunity to enter the backyard and head to the entrance of the tomb.

As time passed, more and more people started to enter the church... At the same time, she also noticed the detail that there was always a handle on the side door.

"..."

Mebius looked at the veiled believers there and couldn't help but narrow his snake eyes slightly.

It seems that Bishop Quintus's research on the human body is not very good. Those believers standing still seemed to be just faithfully executing an order under the influence of the sea cells.

Although he is meticulous and seems quite serious, he has more or less lost the wisdom that a human being should have.

After understanding the current situation of the believers, Sheshe lost interest and retracted her gaze. After all, no one would be so bored as to stare at the stone statue all the time, at least she thought that her time should not be wasted on this.

Not long after Mobius withdrew his gaze, the masked leader of the Deep Sea Church, Quintus, made a "shining" appearance under the attention of everyone.

He looked much taller than an average person, about 1 meters tall, and his blue-brown church robe completely covered his lower body. At the same time, his movement speed was also quite slow, and it looked more like crawling than walking to Snake.

Yes...slow creep.

Whether it was Pado's information or the plot he was familiar with, they were all telling Mebius the current state of the bishop in front of him.

Quintus had long been a non-human being, but because of this, Snake looked down on him even more, thinking he was nothing more than a failure that couldn't maintain a human form.

How can it be called a successful "evolution" if one cannot even maintain his original appearance?

As a scholar who pursues competition, Mebius is disdainful of the "evolution" displayed by Quintus.

In her opinion, rather than calling it evolution, it would be better to call it degeneration. It is extremely stupid to voluntarily be assimilated by other species.

As far as Snake is concerned, only the Deep Sea Hunters can be related to evolution, maintaining their fundamental human nature and controlling powerful forces. Conceptually, they are not much different from Fusion Warriors, they are just fused things.

It's just different.

Of course, it is also because of this that when she sees people who voluntarily want to be assimilated, she can't help but feel the absurdity of a fusion warrior voluntarily being assimilated by the Honkai beast factor.

Mebius crossed his arms over his chest, stopped thinking, and mercilessly labeled Quintus in front of him as brainless and a waste of experimental materials.

As for the former, there is nothing much to say about being able to voluntarily transform oneself into something that is neither human nor ghost.

As for the latter, looking at the believers standing in the church like stone pillars, Sheshe didn't think that this guy could and would make good use of the good experimental materials. At best, it was just some brute force attempts, as for the sophisticated reverse engineering... haha.

Just as Mebius was defining Quintus in his mind, he took out his lecture notes and began to narrate the lecture notes of the Deep Sea Church to the people who came.

Everyone closed their eyes as the bishop led the prayer to show respect. Even the townspeople who were participating for the first time followed suit, closed their eyes and prayed to thank the Mother Goddess for her gift.

And in these few short seconds, Mebius no longer sat there playing the role of a scholar. Instead, he burst out at his fastest speed and quietly slipped out of the hall through the side door.

After all, although it is called a side door, there is actually no door there, otherwise there would be no need for believers to guard it in the first place.

Therefore, Snake entered the church openly and headed straight towards the tomb.

When she arrived at the backyard, the empty and quiet environment was exactly what she expected.

This is also one of the reasons why Mebius chose this time to come to the Deep Sea Church. At this time, those annoying believers gathered in the church hall, but no one was wandering around to hinder her plan.

Of course, she didn't care too much about it. After all, this time she came to invade violently.

Thinking of this, Sheshe walked into the entrance of the church crypt calmly without any hesitation.

At the same time, Quintus, who was still reading the lecture notes in the hall, couldn't help but pause slightly, and then his eyes fixed.

Because he found that the lady with a special and eye-catching temperament who had just suddenly disappeared in the hall, now went straight into the entrance of the tomb.

A question mark appeared in Quintus's head. How could someone find the entrance to the experimental field? And run straight in... Wait, for a moment, he couldn't help but think of the feeling of being watched last night. Damn it!

"Boom boom——"
