[Although other senior executives were full of doubts and complaints about this, they could do nothing about her. In the end, they could only threaten her with the laboratory's funds to not drag things out for too long.]
[And then, you also spent some days in Mebius's laboratory, which were not very good, but not bad either - perhaps because your "trait" was a unique copy, Mebius was very restrained in the experiments on you. Even though he knew that you had that abnormal recovery ability, he did not cut off your limbs to test whether you had the ability to regenerate severed limbs. He only stopped at "minor injuries" such as peeling off part of the skin, removing a piece of muscle, crushing some organs, or breaking a few bones.]
[The final test results also made Mebius ecstatic - all injuries recovered gradually according to the time and were healed on the seventh day. In the next one to two days, the remaining traces would disappear. The overall error would not exceed 12 hours. If a large amount of nutrition was consumed during the recovery period, the recovery time would be advanced.]
[If it weren't for the fact that the Fire Moth started to urge him, and the situation on the front line became tense, Mobius would have even wanted to spend some more time studying you.]
[Your surgery has reached the point where it has to be done. Fire Moth is eager to see her results, otherwise Mebius will be accused of "slacking off" and "abusing soldiers"]
[But in the end, she also plans to use this remaining opportunity to do a final experiment]
[Although Mobius himself has gained the ability to "resurrect from the dead" by fusing the genes of the snake-shaped Honkai beast "Shesha", there are still some limitations after all. After "death", a large amount of Honkai energy needs to be absorbed to achieve "resurrection"]
[Even though she gained a disguised form of "infinite life", she was not satisfied with it. She wanted to go further and explore more and more definite "immortal" power]
[And your strange "trait" is naturally her best experimental material. Correspondingly, she has indeed prepared the best and most suitable Honkai Beast gene for you - "Gabriel"]
[The genes of this difficult-to-define Honkai beast of the Fire Moth are strangely endowed with extremely strong vitality. As long as a little bit of it is removed, and then with enough Honkai energy supply, the removed part will quickly grow into a Honkai beast.]
[And if we analyze this newly born Honkai beast again, we can't find any obvious connection between it and "Gabriel", it seems that it is a naturally generated Honkai beast]
[Even the newly born Honkai beasts will undergo slight changes according to the different environments, so that the newly born Honkai beasts can better adapt to the surrounding environment.]
[Finally, Gabriel's genes will have a special response to "water environment" or "water", and will become particularly active in an environment with sufficient water]
[This also made everyone understand why "Gabriel" was able to summon the "Honkai Beast Tide" in the first place, and also made everyone certain that the various "Honkai Beasts" that appeared on the beach at that time all over the world were indeed related to it]
[And now, Mebius will transform its genes into your "super mutation factor"]
[Of course, this is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you are more likely to be attacked by Gabriel's genes, lose your consciousness, and end up in a worse situation than a "failure" - becoming a Honkai creature or a similar monster, and then being conquered.]
[Before the operation, Mebius told you again and again about the dangers of the operation and told you that you had the right to refuse. After all, she had made a lot of preparations for you. Even if you didn't choose "Gabriel", you could have chosen someone else. It's just that "Gabriel" was the one she liked the most.]
[You don't care about this, after all... you will survive]
[Mebius is particularly happy and excited about your attitude. You can even vaguely see a special possessiveness in her snake eyes - the kind that wants to tie you to the operating table.]
[However, you can indeed feel that Mebius's attitude towards you has improved a lot. As a result, she has become more and more unbridled in touching your body, and her words to you are full of all kinds of strange hints. Even the name "little white mouse" has almost become exclusive to you - ah, as expected, she still hasn't given up the plan to keep you in the laboratory]
[And under the personal operation of Mebius, your operation was completed, and it can even be said to be very successful]
[You have successfully become a "Fusion Warrior", number CM-005]
Chapter 27: The Fusion Warrior Who Controls "Water"
"Little white mouse, how does it feel to be born again?"
"It makes no difference."
"Really? I thought you would need some time to adjust to your new body..."
"It doesn't have a big impact. Rather... my body has become more agile, which is good."
Xi Wang ran a little in the experimental area, moving quickly in the area according to his own combat style. Even Mebius, who was also a fusion warrior, could only vaguely see his moving figure, and he could only see it clearly when he used the force to turn in the middle of the journey.
This combat method of rapidly changing from static to rapid in a short period of time was perfectly demonstrated by him with his brand new body.
“It’s… really great~”
Mebius said, as if he were exclaiming, or fanatically.
"...Hmm? What's wrong? Little white mouse~ Is there something wrong?"
Suddenly noticing that Xi Wang had stopped, Mebius rubbed his lips lightly with his fingertips and asked.
"...No, it's nothing."
Xi Wang looked at his arm with some confusion, then relaxed his body a little, shook his head, and said nothing.
Perhaps it was a side effect of the surgery, he felt that his skeleton seemed to have become smaller, and the lines of his body became softer. Overall he looked as smooth and silky as a mountain stream, losing his original tough style.
There was also a slightly damp feeling all over his body. Although he was in a dry room, he had the illusion of being at the beach. At the same time, he hated dry places for no reason and would unconsciously emit a special scent, making his body damp, which was somewhat similar to the cold air surrounding Kevin, and both were uncontrollable.
Fortunately, Xiwang's clothes had been specially treated by Wei Erwei, otherwise his clothes would have been soaked in water in less than half a day.
These were the most direct side effects of the surgery. In addition, there were five dark lines on his body that seemed to be derivative effects. Four of them were on his body, like chains or running water, and could even flow. The other one was on his neck, forming a ring around his neck. If you didn't look carefully, you would think his head was separated from his body.
This is also the reason why Mebius pays special attention to Xiwang. She seems to think that the [marks] that appear on Xiwang's body are related to his [characteristics], and can also provide her with some different ideas for her [Stigmata Plan] which is still in the initial theoretical stage.
"How is it? Do you want to continue the test? Next, we need to conduct virtual combat. Do you want to match weapons? Weiwei has been worried about how to match a suitable weapon for you, the little white mouse."
"I have no need for weapons."
As he spoke, Xi Wang gently pulled his hands in front of him, and blue water appeared along with his movements. According to his ideas, it changed into the forms of various weapons such as knives, swords, hammers and even bows and arrows, and finally turned into several water balls of different sizes floating around him.
In addition to improving his physical fitness and strengthening his own [characteristics], [Gabriel] gave him the ability to control "water", but this "water" seemed a little special...
Although Mebius has tested it repeatedly and confirmed that the "water" summoned by Xiwang is indeed water and has all the properties of water, and even various means of detection only show that it is water, in Xiwang's own hands, as long as the "water" is maintained within a hundred meters around him, this "water" will have additional water-related properties.
For example, while maintaining the "knife" shape, it can achieve the cutting effect of a "water knife" at a lower flow rate, or it can have elasticity or viscosity similar to "slime" when it is a water mass, or make water more difficult to be affected by temperature, such as having a lower freezing point or a higher boiling point.
While maintaining this property, when testing the "water" through equipment, one can only conclude that it is water, as if water itself has this characteristic.
Although the farther the distance, the weaker this characteristic is, and the closer it is to the original concept of water in ordinary people, this is already very abnormal, as if the "water" in his hand and the water in ordinary people's cognition are completely two different things, but in terms of its properties, it belongs to the water in ordinary people's cognition.
Finally, we can only conclude that the "water" controlled by Xi Wang is something "like water but not water".
Well... I can only say that it is worthy of being called [Honkai (omnipotent)], that such a "magical" thing can actually appear.
This undoubtedly made Mebius even more excited and gave her a new understanding of Honkai energy. After all, Gabriel had not shown the ability to "control water" before. At most, he would become active due to the increase in moisture in the environment. Now this result made her think that this was a mutation product of the fusion of Xiwang's [traits] and Gabriel's genes, and at present, this was a benign mutation.
Now, she was almost certain that Xi Wang's [Qualities] could perfect her ideas and bring her one step closer to her ideal.
and so……
"So... do you want me to help you reject her?"
Mebius crossed his chest with one hand, supported his face with the other, narrowed his dangerous snake eyes slightly, and asked softly.
"She has used this excuse to make a lot of weird things recently... Although she gave them to other people in the Fire Moth because she felt they were not suitable for you, but... you know, she is not someone who can sit idle."
"Besides, ever since I submitted your previous test data, she has been asking you and Kevin to try out the weapon that is about to be perfected~"
"...Is it a 'Divine Key' weapon made from the 'Fifth Herrscher Core'?"
"Yeah~ That thing is almost done~ How about it? Wanna give it a try, little guinea pig?"
"...No, I have no need for weapons."
"Haha~ That's right~ After all, you already have such a convenient ability~"
Mobius came to Xiwang's side and poked the water floating around him. It was obviously just water, but now it had a strange elasticity. It should have been transparent water, but now it was as blue as the sea. Now Mobius felt like she was poking a very elastic "slime".
How to put it, it's a bit like the "water" in games and animations. For this reason, Danzhu became more interested in Xiwang. She would stick to him almost whenever she had free time, hoping that he could take some beautiful COS photos for her. At one point, Mebius wondered if he had hired the wrong assistant.
"…Anything else? Dr. Mobius."
"How strange! We get along so well, but you still address me in such a distant way?"
"It's just this period of time. And I don't think we get along that well. Also...can I go now? There's no need for the subsequent tests. Practical combat will be more effective."
Facing Mobius who started to touch her body again, Xi Wang rolled his eyes and responded calmly.
"Are you going to abandon someone after you've accomplished your goal? That's really heartbreaking..."
Mebius crossed his arms and sighed in disappointment.
"I have helped you so much, whether it's research, surgery, or materials, I have prepared the best for you. I have also made many safety measures for the surgery, which no one else has... I even pushed back the mission that Poison Pupa wanted you to perform recently. Of course, I didn't ask Sakura to do it~"
"I put a lot of thought into dealing with those guys, but in the end it ended up like this. It's really sad... So sad..."
Mebius wiped away his tears hypocritically.
"...Don't talk like that. It makes people uncomfortable."
Xi Wang frowned in distress. This way of speaking, which was similar to Alicia's, looked weird on Mebius... and she couldn't imitate it well.
"…What else do you want?"
After thinking for a while, Xiwang finally let go.
"Hehe... Don't worry~ I won't make you, little white mouse, too disgusted~"
Almost the moment he heard the question, Mebius returned to his normal state, his fingertips lightly brushed across his lips, and his snake-like pupils narrowed slightly.
During this period of time, Mobius also roughly understood Xiwang's way of thinking, and mastered a set of methods to deal with him... Should I say you are really easy to control, little guinea pig~
"My request is very simple. I just want you to stay alive in your future missions, little white mouse. As you are the only copy left, you must cherish it."
"I will do it if you don't tell me."
"And here's the thing~"
Mebius took a step forward, leaned close to Xiwang's ear, and whispered in a seductive tone.
"Please come and visit me regularly in the future, especially when you have any special health problems. I am very interested in you."
After saying that, she stretched out her nimble tongue and gently scraped Xiwang's earlobe, causing Xiwang to quickly turn his head away.
However, when he saw that he merely turned his head to avoid and did not move away directly, Mebius took half a step back and laughed as if he was quite happy.
"Haha~ Very good, little white mouse, I like you more and more~"
“…Can I go now?”
There was a hint of fatigue in Xiwang's voice.
"If you promise me~"
"Definitely next time."
"Then I'll take that as your agreement~"
"……I am leaving."
"See you next time, little white mouse~"
Looking at Xi Wang who unconsciously quickened his pace and left, Mebius smiled even more happily.
"Oh, right……"
As if remembering something, Mebius called out to him again.
"Regarding those [dirty things] in your body, although you have already survived here for a period of time and it helped you get through the most painful time, and even after becoming a fusion warrior, those [dirty things] have little effect on you, but... I hope you can remember not to come into contact with that kind of thing again."
"The body of a fusion warrior is not meant for you to damage, especially since you have already been messed up by those things. If it weren't for your [Specialty], you would have died long ago."
"I don't want to help you deal with those [dirty things] again the next time I see you. That's simply an insult and blasphemy to life... Do you understand, little white mouse?"
"…………Um."
Xi Wang turned his back to her and was silent for a long time before he responded to her with a single word and quickly left.
"Tsk... those guys are really wasting resources..."
Seeing Xiwang's attitude and thinking about the morals of those people like Du Pupa, Mebius frowned in annoyance.
But... at this moment, she had no choice but to put this worry aside for the time being and go back to the laboratory to organize the data - the data previously obtained from the mice was enough for her to conduct some experiments.
The problem is...
"... Klein, where are Danzhu and Cangxuan?"
"Hmm? They... haven't arrived yet?"
"...Tsk."
Mebius's frown deepened.
"Hello~ Good morning~ Dr. Mobius~ and Senior Sister Klein~ We are sorry that we are late, but we bought some milk tea~"
"Ah...thank you."
Klein looked extremely tired, as if she had been up all night for several days. She took the milk tea handed to her by Danzhu and took a sip. It seemed that she had got enough sugar to replenish her energy. She looked a little more energetic.
But a certain doctor is not so easy to deal with...
"…Doctor, this is yours."
Cang Xuan glared at Danzhu who ran straight to Klein, despising her for deliberately leaving Mebius, the most difficult person to deal with, to her. But in the end, Cang Xuan could only pretend to be calm and come to Mebius and put her cup of milk tea next to her.
"...Cang Xuan, do you know what time it is now?"
"........."
