In the morning, there was a knock on the door of Mobius' laboratory.
As a laboratory with an infamous reputation such as ' The Devil's Nest', 'Death Forbidden Zone', and 'Snake's Nest', very few people tend to knock on the door.
Mobius's cold voice sounded: "Fuxi, go and open the door."
"Yes." After receiving the order, Fuxi got up quickly to not anger Mobius.
Pushing open the door, Fuxi saw a pink-haired lady and a white-haired man.
"Elysia? Kevin? What are you doing here?" Fuxi's face was full of astonishment, and she glanced carefully at Mobius.
It was currently not a good time to be looking for Dr. Mobius. Although it is her birthday.
10 days have already passed since Theo's death.
"We're here to deliver something."
Elysia didn't joke around like usual, and she led Kevin around Fuxi and came to Mobius' table.
The both of them stood there, but Mobius continued to fiddle with random items as if she didn't see the people in front of her.
"We're here to deliver items entrusted to you."
Sighing, Elysia put the things down, and seeing that Mobius still didn't respond, she patted Kevin on the shoulder and left.
After Elysia left, Mobius turned her head, and her snake eyes turned to Kevin.
"What do you want?"
"Dr. Mei said that the body of the Tenth Herrscher will be researched for data and-"
"Don't even think about it. My brother's body can only be preserved by me. No one is allowed to touch his body."
Mobius didn't let Kevin finish talking, and while leaning back in her chair, she glared at Kevin.
The atmosphere in the laboratory was tense for a moment, Klein stopped working, and Fuxi Nuwa even held his breath.
They had no doubts that Dr. Mobius would fight Kevin for the sake of her brother.
While Kevin was silent for a bit, he eventually left the laboratory.
After he left, Mobius put her gaze into the bag Elysia had brought, and after staring at it for three minutes, she stretched out her hand to see what was inside.
There, a wolf doll that was wrapped in a snake was inside the bag, with a colorful birthday card beside it.
'Happy birthday Mobius!'
And under the doll, was a videotape lying there quietly. Reminding her of Theo
Ever since she was born, Mobius knew that the baby who came out next to her was her younger brother.
During that time, she had thought a blood relationship was of no use to her.
.........
This kind of thinking continued until she turned 9 years old. Her thinking changed when she saw Theo who was silent, stepped forward and protected her.
That was the first time since she was born that she felt kindness from others.
It was also on that day that she heard her immature brother make a promise
"Okay, no matter where you go, I will stay with you until death sister."
......
Mobius pursed her lips, put the doll next to her computer, and put the videotape into a cabinet.
She had no intention of watching it. For now.
Fuxi wanted to say something, but Nuwa convinced her not to.
.........
At night, it was rare for Mobius to let everyone leave work early, but she stayed behind and came to her room.
She opened her cabinet, which was full of unknown things.
And in the far corner of the cabinet, a somewhat old video player was laying down.
This was the first gift Theo bought for her through the part-time jobs he was working. He said that we can watch movies with each other while relaxing.
But since they were young, they barely had the time to watch some movies, and even if they did they were all science fiction movies.
"I hope it still works, why did you have to buy such an old one brother."
Mobius sighed, turned the video player on, entered the laboratory, and found a comfy place where she could watch.
The videotape was inserted into the old video player, and surprisingly it worked. Soon, Theo's face appeared on the screen.
As the video continued, Theo in the picture waved his hand.
"Hi, sister."
"How should I say this, I know that you wouldn't want to hear this, but, I had received a vision of my fate."
"Not the type of visions Aponia see, and even if she did see my fate, she wouldn't tell anyone."
The man on the screen was a little nervous since he was talking about his death. But, there was no worry on his face, and like always, he wore a gentle smile on his face.
Mobius didn't know if it was a coincidence or not, but, Theo looked directly into Mobius' eyes as if they were talking face to face.
"Ah, sister, When I die, you'll sad for a while. Won't you? You don't need to worry! You just need to know one thing!"
"What I like most is your smile, whether it's a threatening smile, a smile that tricked me into doing an experiment, or a mischievous smirk."
"So, why don't you smile more, otherwise it would be a waste. My sister has such a pretty face. Hehe."
Mobius sat on the sofa, hearing the man's cheesy words, she squeezed out a stiff smile and picked up a wine bottle next to her.
She had always hated drinking because she was weak towards it, and she always embarrassed herself in the process.
But when she drank the wine, she felt a burst of joy.
She kept hearing her brother's voice in her ear, talking nonsense as usual.
He was an annoying younger brother.
But, she was his sister.
A wave of sadness swept over her, and at some point, drops of tiny liquid rolled down her cheek.
Mobius who had never once shed tears in her life. Had shed tears.
Liar. You said that you would stay with me until death.
The man in the video kept reappearing, and the button of the video recorder was constantly pressed over and over.
When the video player couldn't handle the continuous replay of videos. Mobius finally sank on the sofa and closed her eyes.
In the shadows, Klein's figure slowly walked out, she threw away the empty bottles on the ground, took out a blanket, and covered the doctor.
The Infinite Ouroboros Project.
Klein's expression was complicated, and she slowly walked away from the laboratory.
If Mobius is crazy enough that she wants to resurrect the dead, then Klein, the person who had been saved, should also do her part.
After all, she's the one who should be dead instead of him.
