Chapter 15 Feeling numb

"colleague?"

When Sakura disappeared, Kevin asked Mei a question.

"You know him, Li."

Mei smiled slightly.

"That Mebius' royal experimental subject?"

Kevin had some flashbacks. He didn't meet Li many times. The most memorable one seemed to be when Li celebrated Mebius's birthday by herself, and then took a picture of the whole plate of cakes while Mebius was a little touched. On her face, the candle flame above almost burned away Mebius' long green hair.

When Kevin saw him in the infirmary later, his whole body had been beaten to comminuted fractures. Is he still alive in this world now?

"Yes, his relationship with Sakura is extraordinary."

Mei also seemed to think of all the embarrassing things Li had done in the past, and the smile on her face never stopped.

"Well, it seems that they are a pair of friends who have a very good relationship."

Kevin nodded slightly.

"..."

Mei Wuyu glanced at the straight man and did not correct him. Instead, she continued to talk according to her own thoughts.

"He has a very strange constitution."

"I know this, the siliconized body, and the liquid collapse energy flowing throughout the body."

Kevin was allowed by Mebius to read the physical examination report about Li. To be honest, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Kevin wouldn't have believed that such strange humans existed in the world. Can Honkai Impact really be able to do anything?

"Mebius wants to transform it as the first experimental subject of the Fusion Warrior Project."

Mei stretched out her index finger and tapped her head.

"She is a little anxious. This plan is not perfect yet. Or is Li's physical condition not allowing her to wait any longer?"

Mei smelled the gossip. In her impression, Mebius would not use some half-finished plans unless absolutely necessary.

"It seems that the relationship between Li and Dr. Mebius is not ordinary."

"Yeah……?"

Kevin pondered slightly. In his impression, Mebius had very few friends, only none at all. He didn't expect that anyone would be able to tolerate Mebius's character and be friends with her.

"Forget it, this has nothing to do with us for the time being. After all, we also have our own plans to complete."

Mei shook her head. Stop thinking about what you have and what you don’t have. She needed to catch up on some sleep now. Coming to complete the transaction with Sakura in the middle of the night was not within her working hours. It was almost dawn, so if she didn't sleep, she would really have to work overtime 24 hours a day.

"Kevin, let's go back."

May greeted Kevin.

"it is good."

"I have discovered that after you have been a soldier for a long time, you speak a lot less. You can hardly see the shadow of the sunny boy you used to be."

“With every gain there must be a loss.”

Kevin didn't think there was anything wrong with this, unless Mei made it clear that he hated the way he looked, then he would change back to his old self no matter what.

……

"Pado, we made a lot of money today. Hahaha, I didn't expect that the black-hearted businessman actually hid a lot of good-quality jade in his safe. Now, it's an advantage for both of us. Let's go, Go pawn.”

On the way to the welfare home, Li and Pado had just completed a righteous thief operation and were now counting the loot in their hands while rushing to the roadside. Judging from their expressions, I think the harvest is pretty good.

"Of course, Brother Li, don't you look at how good my taste is. Our family is not so rich, so I'm too lazy to steal~"

Padu was a little proud. She had been a righteous thief for so long and it was not for nothing. Choosing the most worthy target was just her most basic skill.

"Yes, yes, little Pado is the most powerful~"

Li put the bag filled with loot on his shoulders. With all these goodies, he thought he might be able to ask Mebius for a few days off?

Well, this can only be a delusion, at least Riko has never heard of experimental subjects being able to get leave permission from scientists, especially when Mebius is not an ordinary scientist.

"Oh, it would be great if I could retire at my age..."

"Brother Li, brother Li, look at the door. Isn't that Sister Nia?"

At this time, Paduo's voice brought back Li's thoughts.

Sister Nia? Oh, Aponia. No way, is this guy just coming back now? It's already dawn, and he and Pado have just completed a righteous thief operation...

Looking up, Liya saw Aponya standing at the gate with his back to them, dumbfounded, seeming to be thinking about something. After thinking for a while, Li handed the bag to Paduo for safekeeping and asked her to leave with the stolen goods first. He was going to ask Aponya about the specific situation. Li Ke didn't want Aponya, the director of the welfare home, to hide anything from them. What if he was deceived by a pyramid scheme organization?

"Hey, my dear Apponia, what are you doing here?"

Li's voice called Aponya out of her thoughts. She turned around stiffly and relaxed after finding that it was Li.

"Li, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping?"

Good guy, this sentence was originally Li's line, but I didn't expect that Aponya said it first.

What was he going to say? Go out and have a good time with Pado? It's strange, after saying this, Aponya will definitely be verbose again. Just find any excuse to excuse it, anyway, making up nonsense is his specialty.

"A friend came to me early in the morning and said he wanted to donate some charity funds to us, but he needed me to pick it up in person, so I had no choice but to go with him."

"charity fund?"

Aponya looked at Li's empty hands, her words full of doubt.

"Yes, it's a charity fund, but I haven't gotten it back yet. My friend gave me some jade stones that he didn't need much and various other small things. He was so enthusiastic, knowing that I would still be there tomorrow. If you want to work, take the initiative to help me pawn these things. About tomorrow, the charity fund will be delivered~"

"..."

Li shamelessly ignored Aponya's faint gaze staring at him and asked.

"By the way, my dear Apponia, you haven't answered my question yet, what are you doing here?"

"...I just brought back a few more children."

Li thought that Aponya would find an excuse to get over it, but she didn't expect that she would say it directly. Well, as expected of Aponya, he almost never predicted her behavior.

"...No wonder your movements were a little stiff just now. Are you afraid that I will oppose your decision?"

Li suddenly realized.

"No, if it's Qianjie, I might object, but if it's you... I know you will support me."

The corner of Aponya's mouth raised slightly by a pixel, and Li thought he was hallucinating even if he didn't look carefully.

"You really believe me..."

A lot of the money in your welfare home was earned by me selling myself. If the pressure is great, shouldn't I be the one who is more likely to object? !

However, thinking this way, Li still didn't really oppose Aponya's decision. After accepting the children, he couldn't possibly kick them out again, right?

Li touched her kidneys numbly, not knowing how much money she could get for selling these two things to Mebius...
