Mobius had her assistant, Blanca, draw blood from Phainon.
But everyone present was stunned when they saw the golden blood, even Elysia hadn't expected this result.
Even after the golden blood filled a test tube, everyone still hadn't reacted. Finally, Phainon was the first to speak.
"Now you should be able to forge an identity for me, right?"
Seeing the golden-yellow blood, Mobius's excitement was beyond words. Such special blood, just from its appearance, showed it was extraordinary. No wonder Elysia was so protective of this Little White Mouse.
"Of course, I, Mobius, always keep my word. But, Little White Mouse, do you have any thoughts on making another deal with me?"
"No thanks, I still don't like being a Little White Mouse for experiments."
Phainon refused Mobius without hesitation, but Mobius didn't mind. Hearing Elysia's words, Phainon would stay with the Moth Chasing Fire. As long as he remained there, one day Mobius would have him on her operating table.
"Well, since the matter is settled, I'll take Phainon to get familiar with the environment. I'll leave his identity to you, okay? ♪"
With that, Elysia pushed Phainon out of Mobius's office. After all, there was no point in staying there. Given Mobius's gaze, she would probably rush into the lab after two more sentences.
Mobius didn't stop them, she just gave Phainon a meaningful look.
The two, after leaving Mobius's lab, walked down the corridor of the Moth Chasing Fire. Elysia still asked with some curiosity.
"Your blood is actually golden, I really didn't expect that. If my blood had another color, it would definitely be pink, because for a cute and beautiful girl like me, it's naturally pink! ♪"
Suddenly, Elysia became curious about what Phainon's original world was like? So, she also asked at the same time.
"Your world isn't all like you, with golden blood, is it?"
Phainon didn't try to hide anything and told her truthfully.
"No, people there also have bright red blood, but we are an exception."
"We?"
"Yes, we. People like me who flow with golden blood are called Golden Descendants where I come from..."
Phainon wove the history of his world and his own experiences into stories for Elysia. He also spoke of an older sister from his childhood who was very much like Elysia.
He also talked about the journey of the Moth Chasing Fire in his world, but it was also artistically embellished. Yet, even so, Elysia could hear the heaviness within it.
"The real experience probably wasn't as smooth as you described. I can tell that the burden on your shoulders is as heavy as Kevin's in my memory.
You too have shouldered something very heavy."
Elysia easily saw through what Phainon had been trying to hide. Of course, such things are never truly hidden.
Phainon nodded, but he didn't speak of what he carried. But even if he didn't say it, Elysia could guess most of it.
Elysia tilted her head, looking out at the twilight, a rare expression of sadness and reluctance on her face.
"I had a dream, I dreamed of a young man. He had his companions, his friends, and his loved ones, and he also had his dreams. His dream was small, he just wanted to protect his small world.
But fate played a trick on him. Disaster suddenly appeared, changing that young man's life. He initially only wanted to protect his loved ones.
But gradually, he found that his companions, one after another, were taken by the disaster, even forcing him to end their lives with his own hands. At that moment, he had no other choice. He could only be forced by fate to grow. That originally ignorant young man, at that moment, grew into a hero.
A hero bearing the hopes of people. He also had moments of confusion, and loneliness. He had asked himself countless times in his heart, could he truly defeat the disaster?
But the disaster didn't give him time for confusion. Repeated outbreaks of disaster took away the most important things around him.
He became indifferent, a person who would give everything to defeat the disaster. He also became strong enough.
But even so, he failed to save that shattered world from the disaster."
Phainon silently watched Elysia. He also confirmed another thing in his heart; he finally saw the incongruity in the girl before him.
"You seem to know a lot."
"I don't know. In the end, my dream had already ended. I don't know the fate of that world and that boy, but I imagine that to defeat the disaster, the boy must have sacrificed more than I know."
Elysia said this and turned back, smiling gently at Phainon behind her.
The twilight glow shone on her, as if at this moment, the entire world existed for this girl. At the same time, Phainon also seemed to feel something? His gaze towards the girl also changed.
He wasn't foolish. The abnormalities Elysia displayed had already proven everything. She had never intended to hide anything from the very beginning.
"So you want to tell me not to give up on what's in my heart?"
"No, I'm just simply telling you this story, there's no other meaning. Alright, alright, it's getting late. I haven't arranged a place for you to rest yet, come with me quickly! ♪"
Elysia said, skipping away once again. Phainon watched the departing Elysia. He had a guess: the young man in Elysia's story might be someone he knew.
After that, their conversation became more normal. Elysia also explained some common knowledge of this world to Phainon.
After taking Phainon to a single room dormitory, she left. Before leaving, she gave Phainon a mobile phone and taught him how to use the internet. And Elysia was honored to become Phainon's first contact.
Looking at the phone in his hand, which was roughly similar to the communication slate from his original world, he curiously browsed information online.
He also learned many things about this world. At least now, if he were asked some common sense questions, he wouldn't answer incorrectly.
Lying on the bed, he was still a bit worried about his original world and casually searched for topics about world-hopping online.
But what came up were novels, not what Phainon wanted to know. However, Phainon hadn't expected to find a way to return online anyway.
Even if Phainon wanted to go back immediately at this moment, it was highly impossible. He could only take things one step at a time now, after all, even if he was anxious, it was impossible to go back right now, immediately.
So Phainon could only wait quietly, but his intuition told him that the reason he came here was very likely related to the Honkai, and possibly to Elysia.
But no matter which it was, Phainon couldn't confirm it for a while. After a slow sigh, he closed his eyes, waiting for the next day to arrive.
