Chapter 675 The Real Finale "Chicken Soup Is Here!"
The food on the table has been cleared away, and the only thing left is a cake ordered from outside.
The living room was filled with the mouth-watering aroma left by Master Qian's cooking. After having a full meal and wine, no one thought about the trouble of washing dishes and tidying up for the time being. Instead, a bunch of people gathered together and chatted about things they were interested in.
But not everyone will participate in the chat.
On the balcony outside the bedroom, Mei found Mebius who was looking at something alone.
She suppressed her footsteps and walked to Mebius, looking in the direction of her sight, but she saw nothing except the blue-grey sky and a few wisps of white clouds.
"Hmph, you guys suddenly came over, it was really scary."
Mebius twitched the corners of his mouth and spoke first.
"What's so scary? Isn't it right to come and see you...?"
"So, we have been under your surveillance these past few years."
"..."
Meiyi was silent for a while, then nodded silently.
"I'm sorry, but... I believe this is necessary. However, the people responsible for monitoring are mainly me and Raven. Unless there is something very important, we will not disturb your lives."
"But you still came today, why?"
Meiyi looked at Mebius' side face and suddenly smiled:
"What, can't we come and see you?"
"It's a little scary, okay? Although we know that this gathering is just because of Eve's birthday, why don't some people take it as a dangerous signal?"
"Mebius...can't you have some faith in us?"
Mei Yi smiled bitterly, but in the next moment, her eyes suddenly froze:
"Or are you feeling guilty?"
"Guilty? What should I feel guilty about?"
Mebius asked disdainfully.
"Do you still want to be tough in front of me?"
Mei Yi scratched her hair in distress.
"What exactly are the samples your laboratory is collecting from all over the world? What did you get from the World Snake's inventory through your previous relationship? Do you need me to tell you one by one?"
"..."
Seeing that Mebius remained silent, Mei had no choice but to list them one by one:
"Pavanti, Shesha, Yaksha, Garuda, Feitian, Vishnu, Mahavatar... In the past few years, you have used all available methods to convert the genes of almost all Honkai beasts above the emperor level. The samples are in the bag, even the samples of [Brahma] that World Snake is preparing to destroy.”
"So what? I don't think you have any intention of studying these things in the short term, especially Brahma. That is my masterpiece, and you actually want to destroy it? How can I tolerate this happening?"
"But this violates the decree issued by the coalition government - that kind of thing is too dangerous. Although it can greatly improve human combat effectiveness, if it is abused, it can also cause unnecessary disasters. We already have Kia. In Na’s case, super-transformation technology is neither necessary nor too dangerous.”
Mei Yi narrowed her eyes and said solemnly.
However, when Mebius turned his head to look at her, he still had a calm smile on his face:
"So you're here to catch me? Here's a suggestion - since you already know that I'm doing something dangerous like this, it's best to bring a knife."
"This is not necessary, Kiana is in the living room. So what if she is not here? I have temporarily lost the power of the Herrscher of Thunder, but other than that, I have not made any progress - eh!"
Meiyi clearly said warning words, but there was a bit of pride in her tone, but unexpectedly, Mebius raised his hand and slapped her hard on the forehead.
"Okay, okay, I know you are very strong now. But no matter what, you can't be careless."
Mebius's expression was calm and serious. Of course, deep in those emerald green snake eyes, there was extremely deep worry buried.
"There are still too many things in this world that we don't know. Even if it is the end, can the safety of the earth be guaranteed? No matter when and where, even if we face a weak enemy, we must go all out... This principle Mikael must have told you, but what about now? Mei, victory is certainly worthy of celebration, and a peaceful life is inevitably intoxicating, but for you who are destined to protect this planet for a long time, the pride caused by it is not a thing. Good thing."
"I...I'm not proud anymore!"
Feeling Mebius's cold hands caressing her head back and forth, Mei turned her head unnaturally, her words full of embarrassment and nervousness about having her thoughts seen through.
When Mebius saw her like this, he didn't say anything else, but an imperceptible smile flashed across his face, and then he folded his hands in front of his chest and explained:
"Well, if you are coming to me about those experimental samples, there is no need to worry. I have no plans to return to my old business. All experiments are limited to the original Ying Jie. Even so, you must recruit With their own consent, I am the only one who has undergone super-transformation surgery."
"Why!"
Meiyi shouted uncontrollably.
"If you have your own ambitions and want to realize them, you can join the coalition government... With your scientific research level, isn't it easy? Besides... aren't your lives good now? I have been paying attention to you, everyone obviously Everyone should be satisfied with their current life..."
"Who knows... there are always some fools... who like to worry about things."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Here--"
Mobius turned sideways and faced Mikael, who was chatting with Kevin in the living room.
"This guy, I don't know what he encountered in the imaginary space. According to his plan, he would never survive. But now he not only survived, but also became a little... worried."
"What happened at that time, don't you know?"
"How should I know? Maybe you should ask Alicia. Of course, she can't tell you."
"..."
"In short, since this guy regained his memory, he has always been worried about the arrival of a greater threat than [End]. In his own words-[The power of the End also has its limits. Every star in the sky may be an enemy, and we can't even get out of the solar system now. When a stronger enemy crosses the long universe, or breaks the dimensional wall, we can't put all the responsibility on those girls.]"
Mei frowned and looked at Mikael who was immersed in laughter, feeling a little sad and ashamed.
The heroes who have been fighting for 50,000 years have never relaxed after getting the peace they dreamed of.
But they were blinded by the short-lived peace.
Fortunately, the mistakes they made now are not big, and there is still time to correct them.
"I understand."
Mei nodded solemnly, but her eyes softened quickly. She looked at Eve who was being dressed up in the living room surrounded by two Seeles, Eden, Destobia, Blanca and Ceria, and suddenly asked the squad leader who was secretly washing dishes in the kitchen:
"By the way... Mobius, don't you plan to have a child?"
"Huh?"
Mobius's head twitched and tilted.
Mei thought she didn't hear clearly, so she repeated it again:
"I say, Mobius, don't you plan to have a child with him? Just like Eve... and the Herrscher of Knowledge."
"Why do you want another child? You are not being urged to get married by Thunder Ryoma, and then you ask me in return?"
"Uh... of course not."
Mei smiled awkwardly, but she soon caught a trace of incongruity:
"Why do you want another child... What does "still" mean?"
The moment the voice fell, a bright smile that was completely opposite to the cold temperament bloomed on Mobius's face.
She gently embraced Mei into her arms, whispered in her ear and pointed out an obvious fact:
"Why do you want another child? My child, isn't it you?"
Mobius's arms were cold-it goes without saying that the super-mutation factor she re-selected for herself was still Shesha.
But Mei curled up in the arms of this woman who was as tall as herself, but still felt the warmth flowing from the bottom of her heart.
Memories from more than ten years ago came out from the depths of her mind. From the woman with a bad temper and always cold to others, to the aunt who always cared about her secretly, until the day of the disaster, she became "Mom Mobius" in Meiyi's place.
】
In contrast, Mobius, who had become a "cold-blooded animal" again, was warmed by Meiyi's body temperature, just like in the past.
…………
Soon, Meiyi and Mobius walked out of the bedroom hand in hand, but this combination did not attract any strange looks.
Eve was wearing a beautiful skirt and chasing Adam in overalls in the living room. Meiyi was worried that Kiana and Bronya, who didn't socialize much with Yingjie, would be left out. Unexpectedly, Alicia was pulling Aponya and the two of them, looking like she was reading their palms.
The squad leader and Mikael were washing dishes side by side in the kitchen, while Qianjie, who was only in charge of cooking, was sitting at the table that had not been cleaned up yet, arm wrestling with the Herrscher of Knowledge. I didn't know whether to say "It's Qianjie and the Herrscher of Knowledge" or "Stop it, don't fight anymore."
There were also people who were left out - Kosmo was standing at the door of the toilet studying something, but based on Mei's understanding of him, it was more likely that he didn't know how to integrate into the atmosphere of everyone's chat, so he chose to stare at the mosaic pattern on the toilet wall alone.
However... Among the items stolen by the World Snake, there was another thing that Mei didn't say, which was Qianjie's heart.
If Qianjie also recovered his strength, he wouldn't come to the contemporary Origin and End every day to compete...
When Mei thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.
"It's almost done. Mei has an experiment tonight. As for Mikael... we'll go first."
Kevin picked up Adam, and Eve jumped up and punched Adam in the buttocks, so the latter immediately cried and asked Kevin to put him down, which made Mei laugh.
However, when Mei also walked to Kevin's side, Adam suddenly fell silent, and Alicia quickly pulled Eve back.
"Oh, don't worry, wait for me, I'll see you off."
Mikael put down the dishes in the sink, rinsed his hands again, wiped the water on his hands on his clothes and walked out.
But Desdobia just happened to suggest:
"Let's go together? Otherwise, the couple will have to send one wave after another like in previous years, which is too troublesome. Ah Mo, what do you think?"
"Um...ah."
Kosmo, who was standing alone at the door of the toilet in a daze, responded softly twice.
But soon, his voice was buried by more responses.
Mei looked at Mobius, who nodded slightly, so Mei also waved to her companions:
"Let's go together."
She turned her head and looked at Alysia again. She had a lot to say to her, but now she thought it was unnecessary.
The rest of Yingjie got the synchronized memory of the memory, except Alysia, who had become the 12th Herrscher in her memory.
Compared to the real Aly in front of her, Mei still felt that the 12th Herrscher, who had been renamed "Fairy Aly", was more friendly.
Just thinking about this, Mei saw Aly suddenly turn her head and smile at her, or Mobius.
Meiyi could feel that Mobius tightened his arms around her, as if he was afraid that Ai Li would snatch Meiyi away from her, but Ai Li quickly looked away and said to Mikael:
"Mikael! The task of seeing everyone off is left to you! I'll clean up the table."
"Well... leave it to me."
After Mikael agreed, Ai Li ran to the kitchen first, looking at Hua who had washed all the dishes and put them together, she smiled half helplessly and half gratefully and waved her hand:
"Thank you, Hua... Wait, where is Phyllis?"
"She should be playing games in the study with Ling, it's okay, I'll go and ask them to go together... Don't worry, I will take good care of her, nothing will be missing."
"Then leave it to you!"
Aili waved her hand, then picked up the rag by the sink and the trash can on the ground, and began to clean up the still messy table.
"I should have bought some disposable tablecloths earlier!"
While no one was paying attention, she stuck out her tongue and complained in a low voice.
"Goodbye, Ellie!"
"Well, goodbye, my good Eden."
Sometimes you need to say goodbye to familiar people, but the noise will eventually fade away.
"Mom! I'm going to paint!"
"Okay, go quickly."
Eve's figure quickly disappeared in the living room, and the "thump thump thump" footsteps gradually faded away - from the noisy voices to the quiet, it only took a few minutes.
But Ellie didn't care.
Because it was different from some times in the past, everyone knew that separation did not mean that they would never come back. In this world that is at least peaceful and stable for now, in this world that everyone has given everything for, separation is just for a better reunion next time.
The dining table was quickly cleaned up. After all, it only looked troublesome. In fact, the most difficult dishes and chopsticks had been solved, and the extra chairs were also arranged aside.
Ellie put the rag back to the sink, washed her hands again, and then walked quietly into the study.
Before leaving, Paduo and Ling turned off the game, leaving only a document with an empty quotation mark.
Ellie sat in front of the computer, facing the screen, and sighed softly.
Then, she slowly raised her hand and touched the screen:
"Can you... hear it?"
The voice echoed in the small space of the study. Who was Alicia talking to? It didn't matter, but she didn't get any response.
"Yeah, if you can really make a sound, everyone will be scared and can't sleep, right?"
Her index finger slowly slid across the screen.
"But... you should be able to see it, right? Maybe at this moment, you haven't remembered this story that you saved, but I believe that it won't be long before everyone will remember it again, including what I'm saying now.
"Speaking of it, it's really strange. At the beginning, I felt that I had a lot of things to say when this story really ended, but when it really came to this time, I felt that anything I said was too pale and powerless.
"Alas - it's better not to say it. Once I say it, it will sound like a cliché, which will make me look unlovable. It's better to leave those annoying truths to schools and textbooks. At worst, let Mikael tell them.
"Lovely Alicia just wants to quietly remind everyone here - this time, it's really the last time."
Her fingertips stopped sliding, looking at the blank document, and it seemed that countless words emerged in the blank space that obviously had nothing.
That was everything they had experienced along the way, which had long been engraved in their hearts beyond the way of memory and could never be forgotten.
"Okay, that's it. Next, it's up to you, Mikael."
Aili wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, stood up from the chair, turned around, and saw Mikael standing silently at the door of the study.
"Remember to write this paragraph in too! "
Ellie waved her fist, and Mikael just smiled back.
In the silent smile, the two figures crossed each other, and Mikael finally sat in front of the computer again, and Ellie closed the door for him considerately.
"Huh..."
Slowly exhaled, countless pictures flashed in my mind, and more sounds occupied everything in my hearing.
Angry shouts, sad howls, explosions that annihilated everything, and the sound of monsters trampling the earth...
Nothing was forgotten, so just bravely record everything.
Record everything in detail, without concealment or beautification.
Only in this way can human civilization, facing an opponent that is impossible to defeat, win the praise of survival after fighting one after another in this battle that lasted for hundreds of billions of 50,000 years.
Only in this way can we best respect and commemorate the countless similar or different warriors who were determined to give everything for the almost impossible victory in hundreds of billions of 50,000 years.
But the story still needs a "starting point" after all.
Then... start from there.
Mikael quickly typed a few words in the empty quotation marks -
"Chicken soup is coming!"
