In the afternoon, the academic exchange meeting continued, and Mobius also attended as agreed.
Theresa and Himeko naturally came to the school gate to welcome her.
"Dr. Mobius, welcome to St. Freya Academy."
Facing Theresa's greeting, Mobius responded with a smile, "Thank you, Principal Theresa. I'm really looking forward to today's exchange meeting…"
Himeko stood to the side, her gaze serious as she looked at Mobius, but her face still maintained a polite smile.
The three walked into the exchange meeting venue, and as soon as they entered, they saw two members of the Anti-Entropy team surrounding St. Freya Academy's teacher, Walter Yang, saying something.
They could vaguely hear Tesla complaining. "With your talent, why are you lowering yourself to work at a school? Wouldn't joining Anti-Entropy be better…"
Mobius glanced at the Anti-Entropy team and Walter, a trace of amusement flashing in her eyes.
However, that expression vanished in a flash, so quickly that it almost seemed like an illusion.
But Himeko still caught it. Seeing this, Himeko's heart sank. 'As expected, Mobius came this time because of that video.'
Thinking of this, Himeko couldn't help but worry for Van.
———
[At the same time, on the rooftop of St. Freya Academy.]
This place, known as the secret dating spot for couples, today welcomed an unexpected visitor.
This guy, brighter than a third wheel, who else could it be but Van?
To make sure his whereabouts weren't exposed, he drove away several couples who tried to come up and date.
But what left him speechless was that these couples were all… with the same boy.
After chasing people off again, Van couldn't help but ask that boy, "Bro, what's your name?"
"Edward," the boy scratched his head awkwardly, "Uh… senior, could you make an exception?"
After hearing the boy's name, three big question marks instantly popped above Van's head.
'Alright, alright, Edward is it? That just means I can't let you on the rooftop even more.'
To that, Van impatiently waved his hand, "Go, go, go, hurry up and get lost! I've booked this place today. If I see you again, I'll break your dog legs!"
'Damn it, trying to build a harem, huh? Drop dead!'
After driving away Edward, Van took out his phone and sent a message to Himeko.
[How's the situation?]
The reply came quickly. [Everything's normal.]
Van let out a sigh of relief and continued waiting on the rooftop.
———
As time passed second by second, the exchange meeting finally ended.
Mobius had something to do and left early, while Theresa, Himeko, and the others took the remaining two academic exchange teams to the reserved hotel for dinner.
As a teacher, Walter Yang originally didn't want to attend such an event.
Compared to socializing, he preferred to hurry home and work on the mecha model he bought.
Truly, model enthusiasts are terrifying.
However, just as Walter Yang was about to express his intention, a school leader spoke first, "Teacher Walter, we just received word that Anti-Entropy specifically named you to receive Ke—no, to receive their guest…"
"So, for the sake of the school, just put up with it. You don't want the school's reputation to suffer because of this, right?"
Before Walter Yang could say anything, he was called over by the school leader and 'escorted' into a business car by two male security guards.
———
[On the other side.]
After receiving the message, Van stood up with a sense of relief, preparing to leave the school. And to be safe, he deliberately chose to climb over the wall from the side of the school to leave.
After getting out of the school, Van turned into a nearby alley. The alley was dark and quiet, with only the sound of Van's own footsteps echoing.
After walking a few steps, Van suddenly heard a faint noise from behind. Van quickly turned around, only to find an orange cat startled with fluffed-up fur staring at him with wide eyes.
"Heh~ Scared myself." Van chuckled at himself and continued walking forward.
However, before he had walked a few steps, he stopped again.
At the mouth of the alley, a woman with green long hair wearing a white lab coat stood there looking at him, a strange smile on her face.
Van's heartbeat instantly quickened, his mind racing as he thought of a countermeasure.
'Didn't they say she had already left first? So leaving first was just to block me, huh?'
At this point, Van decided to make a dying struggle, maybe he could still pull off a comeback with a sliver of health?
But he may have forgotten that one of the three great delusions in life is, I can turn the tables.
Van, face calm, continued walking forward, trying to walk past Mobius.
However, Mobius took a step forward to block his path, her lips curling into an amused smile, "Little white mouse, you really made me look hard for you~"
In the dim alley, awoman just over 170 cm tall, wearing a white lab coat, beautiful and blushing, stood there blocking the young man's path, like a couple who hadn't seen each other in a long time meeting unexpectedly on the street.
If this were a film or TV drama, their encounter would definitely make many viewers scream sweetly, "Ah he is dead!"
However, as the person involved, Van only felt the death omen star blinking crazily above his head, as if a big blood-red word was hanging above him, [DANGER!]
Even now, Van didn't know how he got exposed. 'Was it really just because of that brief moment in the corridor?'
Thinking of this, Van wished he could rush up to that paramecium and rub her face hard.
'Kiana, look at what you've done!!!'
Hearing Mobius's words, Van feigned confusion and asked, "Miss, do we know each other?"
Facing Van's act of playing dumb, Mobius not only didn't step aside, instead, she stepped forward.
"Things have come to this, and you're still pretending?"
"Huh? Pretending what? I don't understand a thing you're saying?" Van still wore a confused look on his face, but inside he was panicking like crazy.
'Who the hell would dare admit it in this situation?!'
He didn't want to experience lying on Mobius's operating table again.
"Is that so?" Mobius revealed a longing expression. "Then it seems… we need to have a heart-to-heart chat to help jog your memory."
After speaking, Mobius raised her hand, and suddenly, a dark green liquid surged from the ground, like a snake, quickly lunging at Van.
Van instantly dodged to the side with a clean and agile movement.
"With such sharp reflexes, Van, you still dare to say you're a normal person?" Mobius sneered coldly.
With death knocking at the door, Van knew continuing to act would be meaningless.
Because Mobius's stance clearly meant she had already begun awakening her abilities, this also meant playing dumb was now useless.
If he kept pretending to be a normal person, he'd most likely end up on Mobius's operating table.
If he revealed himself… he'd probably still end up on Mobius's operating table.
'Damn it!!! So my final destination… is the operating table, huh!?'
After dodging several of Mobius's consecutive attacks, Van asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, how much do you actually remember?"
