Time in a collapsing world

Li slept in the orphanage for one night, and after he recovered, he did not forget to extend his vacation with Alicia.

Early the next morning, Li and everyone in the orphanage stood silently in front of Alon's tombstone to mourn for him.

Everyone took turns to come forward and lay flowers in front of the tombstone, and the gift Li prepared for him, a pair of new shoes, was also placed on it.

"Let's go."

Aponia said softly.

Pado immediately cooperated with her to persuade the children to go back one by one.

"...Hey, what are you looking at? Let's go!"

When Qianjie was leaving, he looked back and found that Li hadn't moved yet, so he urged.

"Oh, here it comes!"

Hearing Qianjie's cry, Li responded and took one last look at Alon's tombstone.

...Is it an illusion?

No one noticed that after everyone left, under the tombstone, the fingers of the supposedly dead body moved for a moment.

……

Li returned to the Fire Chaser, found Mebius and asked for a physical examination.

After the physical examination results came out, both of them had expressions of joy or worry on their faces.

Because the physical examination results showed that the degree of Li's body regeneration was close to half of the whole body, and the proportion was 42.%, which was three-sevenths, six-fourteenths, a coincidental number.

"Little white mouse, congratulations! You will become a normal person soon~" Mebius spoke up first, breaking the silence.

"My dear Mebius, please don't bury me..." Li twitched the corner of his mouth, and the appearance of this number gave him some bad guesses.

"Little guinea pig, you said there are exactly six Herrscher Cores and God Keys that you touched recently?" Mebius looked away from the medical examination report and looked at him with a strange look.

"right……"

"Six-fourteenths, that is to say, if nothing unexpected happens, you still need to touch eight cores to have a normal body?" Mebius paused, and then made a bolder guess:

"Or, besides you, there are only fourteen Herrschers in total?"

Li didn't say anything. This kind of academic question was still too difficult for him. Don't guess wrong and suddenly another Herrscher appeared. How embarrassing would it be...

Seeing that Li looked like she was listening carefully but her head was in a state of confusion, Mebius curled his lips, stood up, threw away his white coat, and put it on his desk.

"I'm going to find Mei."

Mebius couldn't hide this possibility, and in order to verify it, she needed May's help.

"Then I'll go back to the room first."

"That's a nice thought. There was no training all day yesterday. Do you think that Alicia guy will let you go?"

Mebius ruthlessly broke Li's dream. Although she was just a scientific researcher, Mebius also knew that fusion warriors did not have the privilege of being exempted from daily training, especially close combat warriors like Li.

As soon as the two opened the door of the laboratory, they found a middle-aged man with a sinister face walking towards them angrily not far away.

If he hadn't been dressed in a suit, Li would have thought that some street gangster had broken in.

"Coming to see you?" Li looked at Mebius.

"..." Mebius wasn't sure either. She seemed to have offended a lot of people recently.

But when he got closer, the two of them got the answer through the man's gaze that was staring directly at Li.

"It seems he is here to find you~" Mebius said with a gloating smile.

"Emmm" Li touched his chin. He was sure that he didn't know him at all, let alone become enemies.

While thinking, the man had already arrived in front of them, and the words he spoke made Li confused: "Where did you hide my men?!"

"Huh?" Li was a little confused.

"Don't act stupid! These people! I don't believe you don't know them!" The man took out a few photos from his pocket and showed them in front of Li.

"Looks familiar...huh? It's them!" Li remembered, weren't these the same group of guys who followed her yesterday? It’s been so long and you haven’t come back yet... Hey, it’s not like someone else really picked up the body, right?

"It seems you recognized it." The man took back the photo and sneered, "Then, you should know the price of secretly attacking members of the Fire Chasing Moth, right?"

"Oh...then if I get them back, can my sentence be reduced?"

Li crossed her arms and faced the man's aggressive gaze. She could see that this guy's purpose was not just that simple. The disappearance of his subordinates might just be a reason for him to find trouble.

And he actually sent someone to follow him... Li's eyes sharpened, and she was ready to talk to him.

But Mebius stopped him, "If that's the case, do you need to pay for your sins first?"

She remembered the identity of the man in front of her. He was a high-ranking official in name only. If this man was a respectable figure before, he has long been ignored now.

"What, what do you mean?" Under Mebius's oppressive sight, the man couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Just now, he only had Li in his eyes, and he didn't realize that the person next to him was Mebius, a madman. ? !

"You won't forget the assassination of Dr. Mei, will you?" A sinister smile appeared on Mebius's face, and she looked at the man as if she were looking at a dead person.

As mentioned before, the death row prisoner is also one of her backup experimental subjects.

"Assassination?"

Li still looked confused, but panic appeared in the man's eyes. He was indeed one of the participants in that assassination.

"The mastermind has been eliminated, do you really think you can completely deceive Mei? It's just that I'm too lazy to care about you for the time being~" Mebius mocked, "Now you have the idea of ​​​​Li again... You want to take advantage of Will his power come back again?"

"Taking action against a member of the Fire Chasing Moth, and it's Dr. Mei who has a unique position. Sir, you should know the consequences, right?"

Mebius waved his hand, and Li suddenly understood. He stretched out his leg and tripped the man, causing the man to fall to the ground. He then took a pair of handcuffs thrown by Mebius and cuffed him easily.

"Mebius! You can't...!"

"Shh..." Mebius stretched out a finger and put it on his lips, "If you make more noise, the people from 'Poison Chrysalis' will come to entertain you~"

"...!" The man shut up immediately.

Glancing at the camera at the corner that had been looking over here, Mebius said calmly: "Leave this guy here, someone will come and take him away later."

"Okay." Li hit the man on the back of the neck with a knife, knocked him unconscious, and threw him to the ground casually, which ended the episode.

"By the way, which department does 'Poison Chrysalis' belong to? It's newly opened? I've never heard of it before." Hearing a new word from Mebius' mouth, Li's curiosity aroused.

"A group of people who specialize in cleaning up messes." Mebius chuckled and didn't say much else.
