At night, the dance for Fire Moth began.
In the past balls, there was a bit of stiffness and self-abandonment. After a hard battle, the soldiers would rely on indulgence and fun to numb the pain of losing their comrades, which made the ball a little dull.
But this time, because of the appearance of the MANTIS named "Jörmungandr", the battle against the Sixth Herrscher was a great success, with almost negligible casualties.
This was a night worthy of celebration. Instead of being drunk with spirits, every one accompanied the gorgeous dance in the ballroom and invited their favorite partners to dance together.
"So, you came here alone, squatting in the corner, where's Mei? I also gotta ask how to refuse a dance invitation from a group of fans. I am not good at rejecting others. "
Looking at Kevin hiding in the corner with a straight face and holding a bowl of noodles, Gao Qi was a little discouraged.
"Mei has her work to do, I respect her career, and I'm starving now-I suggest you also have a bowl, take a bowl of noodles, it can effectively prevent you from being disturbed, and your mask doesn't cover your mouth.
Mouthing ramen noodles, Kevin's naive appearance now makes Gao Qi very suspicious of the "Popular Prince of Chiba Academy" in his background.
"Forget it, I thought you would listen to me, go home and hurry up and make a baby with Mei - the good days are coming soon, Kevin, the Herrscher's attacks will become more and more brutal, if you don't hurry up and enjoy life, There might not be anymore."
The current Kevin is still an excellent fighter. Though the huge casualties caused by the Sixth Herrscher made his heart a little bit colder. After Himeko became a Herrscher, he killed her without hesitation and embarked on the road that belongs to the hero and the savior.
"Love requires a little selfishness, Kevin, allowing Dr. Mei to go dark on the road of rationality can only turn her into a machine—you have to let her feel the charm of sensibility once in a while."
In Gao Qi's view, Kevin is also a pitiful man. He followed his genius girlfriend on the love ship in a daze and inexplicably embarked on the road of salvation. He dedicated himself to the world and became the fire of hope, but he couldn't protect the one he loved
Knowing the doomed end of the future, Gao Qi could only remind Kevin insinuatingly, don't leave any regrets now when you become a bewildered person for the future Stigmata Plan.
Seeing Kevin lost in thought, Gao Qi quickly walked towards the stairs leading to the roof. In the special dressing room, Dr. Mobius was being changed into a specially prepared ball gown by the enthusiastic Nuwa.
'Should I push the door open, maybe I can see something interesting?'
However, before Gao Qi was about to trigger some lucky pervert incident, his eyes suddenly saw a person in the corner.
Hua, the female soldier who invited Gao Qi, was wearing a tightly wrapped cheongsam, sitting silently in the corner of the ball.
Whenever someone sends her an invitation to dance, she will refuse with a smile, and when no one looks at her, she will return to a state of indifference, as if thinking about something.
From Gao Qi's point of view, the Hua in this simulation is probably the same Hua who suffered an Eruption in Bohai City, lost friends and relatives, and fell into a depressed state.
Gao Qi thought, the big brother next door since Fu Hua was a child, should not exist.
As for Fu Hua, Gao Qi felt that since Carol and her relatives were there, although his clumsy lies might be exposed in a few months, Fu Hua shouldn't be affected too much, right?
"......Ugh."
Gao Qi, who wanted to go to Mobius immediately, hesitated again and again, and finally stopped—he was still worried.
Although the simulation systems are all fake, Gao Qi decided to take each simulation seriously.
"Hello, Hua, you invited me to this dance, but you're not gonna dance, isn't it a bit bad?"
Quickly walking in front of Fu Hua, Gao Qi made his tone a little more serious, and stretched out his hand to her - he and Fu Hua are strangers now, so naturally, his tone can't be as intimate as before.
"Miss Hua, would you like to dance with me?"
As expected, Fu Hua refused without hesitation.
"No, I don't know how to dance, I only know how to fight - people need entertainment, but I don't."
There was no rejection in Hua's tone, but she seriously rejected Gao Qi.
'Oh, what can this kid do...'
"Human beings have limits after all. Strings that are always tense are more likely to break. It is good to combine work and rest—since you can't dance, why don't you have a sparring session? I heard that you are good at kung fu."
Fu Hua's seemingly obedient, but stubborn and obstinate attitude instantly brought Gao Qi's state back to when he was her older brother.
The last thing Gao Qi wants to see is his sister will become an emotionless Immortal Empyrea in the future. Fifty thousand years of loneliness and fifty thousand years of sin will be more painful than death.
No, to be precise, Fu Hua died at least two or three times.
"No, Mr. Jörmungandr, this is indeed enough for me. If you need a dance partner, you can go to Miss Elysia. She takes good care of the newcomers. No matter who invites her, she will never refuse."
Fu Hua still shook her head. For her now, apart from fighting against the Honkai and avenging her brother, there is nothing meaningful.
"Of course, your strength is admirable. If possible, please contact Ms. Mobius for me. I hope to be the subject of the MANTIS experiment."
The heart of vengeance makes Fu Hua extremely eager to integrate the powers of a MANTIS. She wants to avenge the Honkai, at the expense of her life——
"Ha, you kid—"
Finally, Gao Qi became numb. For a moment, he even forgot his current identity as "Mr. Zero" and returned to the role of an older brother Fu Hua. So he rubbed Fu Hua's little head.
Fu Hua subconsciously waved her hands to block, but her speed was not as fast as Gao Qi's, and she could only be honestly pressed a few times on the head.
Of course, before he finished his lesson, Gao Qi realized that he seemed to have done something wrong, so he apologized and ran away - this is not Fua Hua from his family, it was indeed wrong to do so..
"Ah, sorry, sorry, just pretend I didn't do anything - leave!"
Fu Hua, on the other hand, froze in place, her eyes a little dazed.
The familiar way and the way how her head was touched made Fu Hua think of a person.
"Hey, Fu Hua, look at the new clothes that Captain bought me, their cute!"
Soon, two women who were also wearing cheongsams walked toward Fu Hua quickly. One of the elegant women with red hair, and golden pupils was holding a glass of wine, and the other white-haired girl was directly wrapped around Fu Hua. Carol, also joined Fire Moth with Fu Hua.
And then, they heard Fu Hua say a word in a daze.
"Brother?"
Soon, Gao Qi came to the rooftop, and before he entered the rooftop, Nuwa and Fuxi had already surrounded him.
"Come on, Mr. Zero, I believe you can do it!"
"Yes, if it is done today, Dr. Mobius will only need to pester you, Mr. Zero."
Before the two of them finished talking, Gao Qi stretched out his hand and pressed their little heads.
"Don't say that I'm going to confess my love and propose to her. Dr. Mobius is not so free. She doesn't like humans—go and play quickly. After tomorrow, there will be a lot of work to do."
Although he took care of Mobius for a long time and liked this big snake very much, Gao Qi clearly knew that Mobius, the incarnation of pure thirst for knowledge, might not be interested in having children.
Gao Qi turned his head and looked at Klein on the other side.
"Why don't you go together, the doctor likes you too?"
And Klein shook her head like a rattle without hesitation.
"Okay then, I'll take pictures for you guys, enjoy the dance."
Shrugging his shoulders, Gao Qi stepped onto the rooftop.
And looking at his back, Klein couldn't help muttering to herself.
"Well, in a way, Mr. Zero is the one who is dense—Dr. Mebius doesn't like humans, but you are not human, you are her creation, her ideal, her... dream."
It was already late at night, and thanks to Mobius' notoriety, there was no one on the rooftop, so Gao Qi straightened his uniform and walked into the rooftop.
Under the starry sky, a woman with long green hair was waiting silently by the guardrail, and when she heard Gao Qi's footsteps, she immediately turned around excitedly.
She was wearing a dark green and dark black long dress, and Gao Qi hired a tailor to design it, trying to restore the loli snake's attire.
However, looking at the fabric on her chest that was suddenly propped up, and her almost perfect figure, Gao Qi still felt that big is better.
"It's been a long wait, my lady."
In the next second, Mobius threw herself into his arms with a smile.
"Come on, Mr. Zero, count the stars with me!"
Taking off the mask for Gao Qi, Mobius looked at Gao Qi—with a smile like a flower.
