Chapter 87: Remake of the Evolutionary Path
“You hid [it], right…”
Mebius' voice was very soft, but every syllable hit the crucial point, making Yao Luo feel that the person in front of him had seen through him.
Taking a deep breath, Yao Luo looked into Mebius' eyes and replied, "Dr. Mebius, it's better to say less about speculation without evidence."
"No evidence?" With a chuckle, Mebius stood up and put her hands behind her back, as if she had found the answer she wanted.
She returned to her previous position calmly and asked Yao Luo questions in a lazy tone.
"What exactly are your abilities? I am somewhat interested in this aspect."
Yao Luo picked up a ballpoint pen next to him and put it in front of Mobius, then he stretched out his other hand and put it in front of Mobius.
Without any warning, a few flashes of color appeared on Yao Luo's other hand, and almost in the blink of an eye, a ballpoint pen exactly the same as the one Yao Luo had just picked up appeared in his hand.
"Oh~" Mebius' eyes suddenly lit up. She saw it clearly. It was neither a trick nor a magic. A ballpoint pen that she often used really appeared out of thin air on Yao Luo's right hand.
In terms of structure and appearance, they are extremely realistic and can be said to be exactly the same.
"Simulation, replication, or to use a more precise word, construction?"
Mebius was making guesses, and it had to be said that she was very direct and sharp. With just a simple move, she had almost accurately guessed the ability used by Yao Luo.
"You can understand it this way, Doctor. I want to know, what is your definition of [science]?"
Yao Luo neither confirmed nor denied it, but instead asked Mebius a question.
"Science..." Mebius looked up, his green hair shining in the light, like some creature shedding its shell and looking at the sky in the sun.
"That is not something that can be explained in a few words, but at least I can say that on this tiny planet like a pea, no one has been able to find the true meaning of science, even a tiny ray of it, including me."
"From ancient times to the present, human beings have always been on the path of exploring the laws governing the operation of the world."
“Humans have summarized countless laws, but most of them are just fantasies that cannot be verified by practice. Eventually, through repeated practice, people built a knowledge system called "science."
Yao Luo took over the conversation, "Of course we all know that the truth that humans have learned throughout their lives is only a temporary truth that will be constantly overturned. Science is an abstract generalization within the scope of what people can understand. We call this explanation "rationality."
"As for my ability, you can call it the Ruler of Reason. As long as I understand the explanation of something, I can reproduce it, whether it is an airplane or a cannon, or an aircraft carrier or a tank, or even something more profound and mysterious."
"If you can understand something, you can create it. That's very similar to humans, isn't it, Ms. Mobius?"
Yao Luo threw the pen in her hand to Mebius, and Mebius grasped this real "existence" in his hand. Mebius raised the pen in her hand above her head. Every point and every stroke on it were traces of her use. There were even dried marks left on it from the coffee liquid she accidentally scored the day before yesterday. It was so real and so "perfect".
Yao Luo introduced the ability of the Ruler of Reason to Mebius without reservation, and this description made Mebius fall into deep thought.
"It's a pity that I can't use this ability now." Yao Luo was conflicted in his heart. The ability he just copied from the ballpoint pen was actually the power of his [Memory] destiny. After all, his ability had many similarities with that of the Herrscher of Reason. Even if he didn't use the dangerous Herrscher core, he could still disguise himself a little.
"If you understand it, can you create it?" Mobius looked at the man in front of him. This ability has never appeared in the history of mankind. What kind of existence is it that can be endowed with such an ability?
Mebius began to take an interest in Yao Luo. As long as she studied this person thoroughly, would she be able to achieve the evolution she wanted in her life?
The corners of Mebius' mouth rose unconsciously, and an unprecedented excitement surged in his heart.
She knew that there were many hidden parts in Yao Luo's words, and she also knew that Yao Luo's purpose of joining the Fire Moth might not be pure, but so what?
[Humanity] What does the survival of this camp have to do with her? Who defines humanity? Who defines civilization?
Is it this body composed of more than sixty elements, or the social structure that has evolved over thousands of years, or the illusory soul and will in the legend.
Mobius, this name symbolizes infinity. The infinite desire for life makes Mobius always looking for the evolutionary journey of life. She believes that human beings will not be confined to this body, and the soul will not be bound to the earth. In the more distant place that she cannot see for the time being, there must be more perfect and more [infinite] life.
"My guess was right, Yao Luo, you are very interesting." Mebius looked at Yao Luo with satisfaction, as if he was looking at some rare treasure.
"Dr. Mobius, I have a deal here, I wonder if you are willing."
Yao Luo made the request at the right time. After all, he joined the Fire Moth to a large extent to solve the problem of his own body being unable to adapt to the Honkai energy.
"Trade means give and take. I'm curious about what you can offer..."
Mebius agreed very happily. Under the dim light, her pupils seemed to turn into those of some cold-blooded creature for a moment.
.....................
The Fire Moth's base has welcomed a new wave of recruitment. Faced with the increasingly complex global Honkai phenomenon, the Fire Moth's selection is strict, but the soldiers selected from it are all elites among the elites.
No one knew how strict and cruel the selection process for the Fire Moths was. Those who had gone through it all turned pale and were unwilling to talk about the past. But among the soldiers who had passed the test, one looked very relaxed, as if...
Outing?
The assessment that most people would be terrified of seemed easy to her, like a pleasant outing in the spring.
"Is this the Fire Moth? I wonder if the person I'm looking for is here?"
The owner of the voice seemed to be very interested as well. Her light footsteps landed on the ground like a bright flower descending into the world.
