In the lab, two figures, one tall and one short, one in reddish-purple and one in light green, were gathered around a lab dish, observing a dissected white mouse.
Ryn: "I find this a bit disgusting and inhumane..."
Mobius: "One dying is better than hundreds. Come on, Ryn, my dear little mouse is waiting for you to save it~
With a helpless look on his face, Ryn injected his Honkai energy into the mouse and used the power of Creation to "revive" it.
In less than three seconds, the dismembered, bloody mouse, which had been reduced to nothing but white bones, had its brain reactivated and its body reassembled by Ryn, coming back to life once again.
Mobius recorded the entire process of the mouse's "revival" with a high-speed camera, but the part involving Honkai energy could only be recorded by her naked eye and her mind.
For this purpose, Ryn had already repeated the "revival" of this mouse dozens of times, and Mobius had dissected it dozens of times...
And Mobius's reason for having Ryn repeatedly revive the same mouse was to observe "whether repeatedly reviving the same individual would cause any changes to that individual's body."
Finally, after a full day and hundreds of trials, Mobius and Ryn found that there was indeed a certain change with repeated revival.
The mouse became smaller and smaller with each revival, continuously regressing to its infant state.
Because Honkai energy cannot pull back a soul to achieve true resurrection, Mobius theorized that Honkai energy might only be performing super-fast regeneration on the organism, selecting the youngest and most vibrant cells in its body for replication and creation.
However, with too few experimental parameters, Mobius couldn't definitively say if this was the reason.
"Come help me with experiments again tomorrow! It's so convenient doing experiments with you!" Mobius smiled and handed Ryn a glass of water.
A convenient and useful assistant like Ryn was too rare. Not only could he help handle the test subjects, but when she was tired, she could even rest on him for a bit, although there was a high probability she'd be kicked away by Ryn.
Ryn took the glass of water and first checked if it was drugged. Ever since Mobius learned that he could regenerate at high speed with Honkai energy, she had been constantly trying to dissect him.
After he refused her request to dissect him, Mobius started drugging him frequently.
Although the drugs had no effect on him, who knew what stuff Mobius would add to them. Ryn had almost soiled his bed in the middle of the night several times.
After confirming that Mobius hadn't drugged the water this time and it was just plain water, Ryn took a sip with relief.
Then he gave Mobius the middle finger and said with a look of disgust:
"In your dreams. I don't have time for that. My own chip is at its final critical stage, I'm very busy."
Seeing Ryn drink the water she poured, Mobius's eyes curved into a happy smile. Then she jumped up, grabbed Ryn's raised finger, and tried to bend it down with all her might.
"Busy my foot! Every time I go find you, you're just sleeping there with an eye mask on!"
"Don't talk nonsense, I was having an intimate sparring session with a dear friend in my dreams."
But Mobius couldn't bend his finger, and she ended up hanging from it as he lifted her up.
This lack of cooperation from Ryn made Mobius angry, and she started kicking her legs wildly, trying to kick him.
But Ryn simply kicked her in the butt, sending her flying to the side.
Seeing Mobius on the ground with her butt in the air, bristling with anger and gritting her teeth as she tried to get up, Ryn made a quick getaway.
After leaving the lab, as he was changing his clothes in the changing room and about to put on his shoes, Ryn also picked up the shoes Mobius had carelessly kicked off when she entered and placed them back at the entrance for her.
This was to prevent the short-legged little Mobius from having to patter around barefoot everywhere looking for her shoes later.
The soles of Snek's feet are very beautiful and tempting, looking absolutely delicious. Although the upright Ryn wouldn't consider such perverted things, in order to protect those tender jade-like feet, Ryn felt it was necessary to supervise Mobius in wearing her shoes properly, otherwise it would be bad if her bare feet got scratched by something!
Just then, Mobius burst in, pushing the door open aggressively.
Seeing Ryn fiddling with her shoes, Mobius was stunned at first, then, as if she had discovered something fun, her eyes gleamed with an unsettling green light, and she revealed a strange, succubus-like smile.
"Oh my, my~ I never thought my dear brother Ryn had such a special hobby~
She looked at Ryn teasingly, bounced over to the seat in front of him, then crossed one of her legs, revealing a beautiful leg like fine jade. The tip of her foot rested on Ryn's chest.
"So, would my dear brother like to personally help his little sister put on her shoes~
This little one... looking at her like this, she's actually quite alluring...
Ryn swallowed hard. Although Mobius seemed to have misunderstood something, it also seemed like she hadn't misunderstood at all.
As an upright young man, Ryn gently held Mobius's tiny three-inch foot, cradling it in his palm to play with, feeling the softness of every inch of her skin.
"Mobius, I'm not that kind of person."
"Hehe..." Mobius leaned forward, cupping her face in her hands, her eyes wide like a snake that had spotted its prey. "I saw you swallow~"
"My throat was just a little dry, so I swallowed to moisten it." Ryn's face didn't flush, his heart didn't race, as he continued to knead Mobius's delicate foot.
"?"
Mobius was once again rendered speechless by Ryn's shamelessness. However, when it came to the duplicitous but physically honest Ryn, Mobius already knew how to handle him.
"Dear brother~ If you help me with my experiments again tomorrow, I might let you lick my feet~"
Mobius stared into Ryn's eyes, waiting to see how he would respond. If he agreed, she would string him along and not let him lick them. If he disagreed, she wouldn't lose anything and would instead have a little trick up her sleeve to handle him~
"You're using this to test a cadre? Which cadre could withstand such a test! Oh, it's me... never mind then."
Ryn fell silent for a moment, then took out the recording pen that he had turned on in his pocket when Mobius came in. He waved it in front of her face, then replayed what she had just said.
"??? Why did you record that? What are you trying to do! Give it to me!"
Mobius was instantly flushed with shame and anger, waving her hands to try and snatch the recording pen back.
But with one foot held by Ryn, Mobius, who was still holding a leg crossed, couldn't do anything.
Ryn tapped her on the head with the recording pen right in front of her, then quickly put it back in his pocket, giving Mobius no chance at all.
"Just a little brat, trying to seduce me. I'm not interested in flat chests. Maybe when you're older."
"I'll develop when I hit puberty! What's with the personal attacks!!"
"Whatever, I'm giving this recording to your dad when I get back."
"You dare!!!"
