Chapter 67 The fusion surgery was a success... This time it's for real.
……
In the pitch-black void where one could not control their body, only a glimmer of azure light flickered and danced.
This is the imaginary space, where only Heralds can freely descend upon it.
Following Seele's guidance, the consciousness of Cloud and Rain illuminates the world, and the choice before us lies ahead.
That is the core of the Great Free Heaven. As long as Yun Fuyu wants, he can seize the existence of the Great Free Heaven at any time and make himself a creature with great power and authority.
However, with his previous experiences still fresh in his mind, and knowing that encroaching on authority would bring unknown dangers, Yun Fuyu ultimately chose to only enhance his own power and not touch the Great Free Heaven in the slightest.
Having made her choice, Seele guided his consciousness back into his body. Upon seeing his mangled body, the blue light trembled violently, contracting several times before daring to descend.
This reaction was like Seele being startled and taking deep breaths repeatedly; even the invisible specks of light had a cute feel to them.
After that, time, relentlessly washing over the world, ushered in a new chapter in the story—
……
Breathing is like the tide, rising and falling, sometimes suffocating and sometimes refreshing.
Consciousness is like duckweed, rising and falling, its whereabouts unknown.
Almost exactly as experienced in the illusion, Möbius's face appeared above him: "Awake? Do you remember who I am?"
“…Dr. Möbius…”
"Hmm, looks like his brain isn't completely broken."
Klein pushed him up from behind, then pulled out a notebook and asked him some idiotic questions to check if he was conscious. Meanwhile, Möbius touched him in various ways, checking his physical condition.
Finally, everything was normal, and Möbius said, "Congratulations, you have become the first successful case of participating in fusion surgery."
Yun Fuyu: "...Doctor, could you please explain in more detail?"
Mebius handed him a bottle of highly concentrated Honkai energy: "The impact on consciousness is very mild; it's just that the prolonged coma has caused some discomfort. There are no special side effects on the body..."
"The Honkai energy adaptability has been significantly improved. Before the operation, it was 650HW, and after the operation, it increased to 2100HW, which has exceeded the standard for the birth of a Herrscher, but there was no core or anything like that."
"Honkai energy resistance has been increased almost infinitely..."
"..."
"Finally, the body's self-healing ability has increased by thirty-five times, but the actual effect still needs further observation. The strength attribute is unknown; you can try it out in the training room when you get back."
After speaking, Möbius stared blankly at his medical test results. Yun Fuyu coughed and asked, "How long did I sleep?"
Klein answered on his behalf: "Seven whole days."
Yun Fuyu asked tentatively, "Has something major happened?"
Klein: "By my personal standards, no."
Mebius snapped out of his daze and tapped Klein on the head: "Alright, you little idiot, you didn't understand what he meant at all."
"?"
Klein covered her head, looking aggrieved.
Möbius said, "Your 'sister' came to the institute once. She collapsed on the street after suffering from heatstroke, and happened to meet Möbius, who then brought her in."
Yun Fuyu felt a chill run down her spine, her heart filled with a bad premonition: "My sister??"
Möbius: "Didn't you want to be Seele's guardian? You're not that far apart in age, so I'll register you as siblings."
"Don't interrupt, your little Seele..."
Yun Fuyu interrupted her: "Don't use that term of address carelessly! Are you doing this on purpose?!"
Feeling both ashamed and embarrassed (and strangely aroused), was Mebius deliberately mocking him?
Möbius scoffed, "Tch, a guy who's all talk and no action..."
Before Yun Fuyu could erupt, she quickly said, "Mei, keep an eye on things. I didn't harm Xi'er and sent her back safely. She's been very well-behaved lately, eating, drinking, and having fun. She might even have started dating someone now, so you don't need to worry about her."
cloud:"……?!"
He barely suppressed the urge to bite Mebius to death, and rolled his eyes: "Give me my clothes, and all of you get out!"
Möbius smiled wryly: "Use and discard, you guinea pig, you're really heartless~"
Klein habitually ignored Möbius's strange words and went to get Yun Fuyu's clothes. When she returned, Möbius had also left the room, so she took the clothes in and then came out herself.
……
After Yun Fuyu left, Möbius leaned against the wall and suddenly said to him, "Avoid raw, cold, and spicy foods recently, refrain from sexual activity, and do not smoke, drink alcohol, or stay up late..."
"Also, there was a slight mishap during this experiment, but fortunately the results were good. I'll have Klein send you a copy of the experimental report; see if you can offer any suggestions."
"Remember to take some time to go to the training room to test your strength and send the results to Klein as soon as possible."
“Finally,” Möbius looked up, his vertical pupils staring coldly at him, “you’d better explain Seele’s actions—yes, it’s not at all incongruous, not at all strange, all actions have an explanation. You can try to lie to me, but I advise you to think it over.”
Yun Fuyu frowned in confusion: "What do you mean? Even if I want to win over this Seele, that's none of your business, right?"
Mebius gave him one last cold look, then turned and left.
"..."
How terrible.
Staring at me with her snake-like eyes, I felt as if a venomous snake was about to pounce and bite me at any moment, and I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine.
But a disguise is a disguise, and as long as others don't have concrete evidence, Seele can keep up the act forever. The only person who can expose her is Alicia, and Alicia will never expose Seele, because Seele's existence is what she has always longed for—a Herrscher who has broken free from the control of the Honkai, just like Alicia herself.
……
……
The experimental report sent by Klein highlighted an unexpected situation: a delay in the gene fusion step. Möbius and May had worked together for a day, and ultimately, whether by coincidence or not, the fusion proceeded.
But this actually has little to do with the technical barriers of fusion surgery; rather, it lies in Yun Fuyu's unique circumstances. Therefore, he couldn't offer any opinions, so he simply read it, deleted it, and pretended he hadn't read it at all.
Back in her dorm, Yun Fuyu closed the door and started to slack off, waiting for night to fall.
……
The stars swayed, the shallow water was still, and everything felt ethereal and dreamlike, as if I were omnipotent.
Taking off her shoes and socks, revealing her delicate, bare feet, Xi'er smiled shyly. She gently pursed her lips, her face flushed, and, following his "wishes," tied a red thread around her ankle, from which hung a small, exquisite bell.
After all, in the previous illusion, someone subconsciously "cognized" such a scenario. In other words, he probably secretly hoped Seele would dress like that. (laughs)
In the past, Seele has actually tried various outfits, including but not limited to: ordinary flat shoes, beautiful shoes for her Herrscher attire, patterned boots, white socks, wearing only one sock, and going barefoot!
Although strange sexual preferences are strongly discouraged, the thought of someone liking her body naturally stirred a deep ripple in her young heart. After some hesitation before making a decision, Seele ultimately chose to follow her heart—who wouldn't want to be more noticeable?
