Chapter 465

"So, you truly possess superhuman power?"

Mobius's breathing became labored; her eyes stared fixedly at Bai Ge, as if she wanted to see through the boy entirely.

And Bai Ge looked down at her from a position of superiority. That high-and-mighty gaze was completely devoid of his usual gentleness; he looked almost like a young god.

"Don't disappoint me, Doctor. Could it be that in your eyes, Mobius, 'humanity' is nothing more than an immutable concept?"

"Between the body and the will, which one is the more definitive proof that a human is human?"

"I believe it is the latter. What do you think, Mobius?"

When questioned like this by Bai Ge, an indescribable feeling flooded Mobius's entire body. In an instant, all her fear transformed into excitement and fervor.

"Of course it's the latter! The human body is riddled with incurable flaws—so frail, so weak, prone to breaking down, easily destroyed. Ordinary people can't even contain a single Herrscher core. I absolutely do not accept the body as proof of humanity."

A look of intense disdain appeared in Mobius's eyes.

As far as the will is concerned, the body is nothing but a burden.

Sooner or later, she would evolve a more perfect body—one that would not age, would not fall ill, would not tire, would not succumb, a body capable of adapting to the human will.

"Very good. That is the answer I wanted to hear, Doctor."

Bai Ge nodded with satisfaction. At this moment, he looked just like a teacher praising a student for a good answer.

Mobius narrowed her eyes, looking at the boy six or seven years her junior. This time, instead of feeling displeased, she felt a surge of intense curiosity.

"Bai Ge, tell me, are you an evolved human? Do you possess the infinity I crave?"

"... If I said yes, Doctor, what would you do?"

"Heh~ I would probably abandon those boring principles and use whatever means necessary to strap you to an operating table, regardless of whether you were willing, until I uncovered all your secrets."

A fanatical light emerged in Mobius's eyes. When the ideal she had pursued so bitterly was right before her eyes, who the hell would care about moral bottom lines? She would discard them all instantly!

"Oh, then I don't have it."

Bai Ge decisively stated he had no answer.

"You!"

Mobius immediately gritted her teeth in anger. She was so furious she slammed a fist onto the table, thinking that if she weren't unable to defeat him or use force, she would have acted long ago.

Bai Ge admired this look of Mobius—"clearly furious to death, yet unable to do anything about him"—and felt his mood brighten.

One can only say that building one's own happiness on the discomfort of others is also a "human" nature.

"Alright, Dr. Mobius, you just need to keep walking down your current path. I believe you will definitely realize your ideal. I have high hopes for you."

Bai Ge gave a thumbs up. At this moment, he returned to being the approachable boy he usually was.

"That's easy to say, but have you said that to many people?" Mobius rolled her eyes.

"How could that be? There aren't many people in this world who can make me interested and hopeful, and I believe none of them will disappoint me," Bai Ge said with full confidence.

"Heh~ Is that so? But I recall the last person you were interested in and hopeful for is currently sitting in a Fire Moth prison, and you were the one who caught her personally."

Mobius sneered. That Vill-V was just weak; she thought she was some amazing character at first, but this was it? She started serving time just two or three chapters after appearing.

She clearly remembered that Bai Ge had been very interested in and expectant of Vill-V at the time. To have her solved so easily, she wondered if he felt disappointed.

To this, Bai Ge shrugged, indicating that wasn't necessarily the case.

"Bai Ge, it's bad!"

Just then, a Pink Fairy Miss ran into the lab, bringing news that left Mobius stunned.

"Miss Vill-V, whom you caught a few days ago, has broken out of prison! I really didn't expect her to hand-craft a set of flying steel armor and a reactor using scrap from the prison!"

Elysia said with excitement.

"How about that, Doctor? My judgment of people is accurate, right~"

Bai Ge said with some pride. Speaking of steel armor and the like, Vill-V, are you Iron Man too?

"Hmph! It's alright, I suppose. It seems that Vill-V is indeed a bit interesting." Mobius hummed and said, "But are you sure this is fine? Aren't you afraid she'll take revenge on you?"

"As for that..."

Ring-a-ling~

Before Bai Ge could finish, his terminal rang. After glancing at the caller ID, which showed no name, he revealed a confident smile.

The next second, under the surprised expressions of Mobius and Elysia, Bai Ge pressed the answer button and said:

"Hello? Miss Vill-V, congratulations on your successful jailbreak. Where are you now? Twilight Street?"

"You, how did you know!"

Vill-V's surprised voice came from the other end of the terminal.

"Guessed it. Also, that's not important. What's important is that we can have a proper talk now. By the way, your jailbreak efficiency was slower than I imagined. I thought you'd succeed that very night. A bit disappointed."

"That's only because the neurotoxin made it so I couldn't move a single finger! Otherwise, with my skills, I could have been out of a Fire Moth prison in ten minutes!"

At this moment, in a phone booth on Twilight Street.

Vill-V said very angrily. That damn neurotoxin had kept her from moving a single finger for two whole days. Even now, her butt was still numb and had no sensation.

But putting that small matter aside, Vill-V looked at a small slip of paper in her hand with a contact number written on it.

Bai Ge had slipped the note into her clothes when he caught her, and it even had a remark: "Remember to contact me after you break out."

This made Vill-V uncontrollably curious about Bai Ge. Did this person trust her skills that much?

"Boy, what exactly do you want to do?"
