After confirming Mobius's current state, Lord Tail couldn't help but let out a curse.
In the vast universe, the only beings who could probably appear before people in this form, without a physical body, were the Memokeepers of the Garden of Recollection.
Or perhaps other people connected to memories.
In short, people connected to Fuli.
After hearing what he said, Ruan Mei's gaze toward Mobius shifted slightly.
However, she had encountered Memokeepers before.
She didn't show any surprise.
It was just that...
She couldn't tell at all.
Mobius's current state gave absolutely no indication that she lacked a physical body.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Lord Tail's expression changed. He moved in front of Mobius and repeatedly twitched his nose.
"Strange."
His gaze toward Mobius became rather peculiar.
"You're a Memokeeper, so why don't you have the scent of the Aeon of Remembrance on you?"
At that moment, Mobius also noticed the unusual creature that was Lord Tail.
A strange ball of fire.
Yet it had the shape of a wolf, while its expressions and mannerisms were remarkably humanlike.
It gave off the air of a little thug.
Even worse than Levi.
The smile on Levi's face suddenly froze. He didn't know why, but after seeing Mobius glance at him, he couldn't shake the feeling that someone had just insulted him.
Mobius looked at Lord Tail in front of her with interest.
"Are you the energy life-form known as a Heliobus?"
Compared to the so-called "Aeon of Remembrance" the other party had mentioned, she cared more about whether he was the Heliobus she had been looking for.
"I'm your daddy."
Lord Tail was as fierce as ever. Looking at Mobius's stiff expression, he gave her a contemptuous look.
"Such a high-and-mighty tone... 'Are you the energy life-form known as a Heliobus?'"
"A little brat like you wouldn't even be enough to get stuck between this lord's teeth on an ordinary day!"
Guinaifen turned her head to the side and exchanged glances with Sushang, who had also turned away. They looked at each other's puffed-out cheeks.
At the same time, they thought to themselves, 'Holding back their laughter was really hard.'
They hadn't expected Lord Tail's high-pitched way of speaking to be so hilarious.
"L-little brat..."
Mobius turned her stiff neck and glanced at Levi.
Levi lowered his head and said nothing.
"I remember you accept any commission, right?"
As she said this, Mobius's gaze clearly turned cold, yet a seductive smile appeared on her face, at odds with her body's apparent age.
Seeing Mobius's smile, Lord Tail's heart tightened. He glanced at Levi, who hadn't made a single move, then said calmly, "What do you want? You little brat, trying to threaten me?"
"Let me tell you something. I wasn't raised to be scared of people. Even Emanators don't dare talk nonsense in front of this lord. A few words from you..."
"Big brother, didn't you promise me you'd catch a few Heliobi for me to study?"
Seeing that Levi wasn't doing anything, Mobius abandoned her earlier demeanor and adopted the posture of a little girl, wrapping her arms around Levi's.
Her round eyes gazed up at him.
She pointed her little finger at Lord Tail.
"I don't want the others anymore. I only want him, okay~?"
Crack!
Guinaifen and Sushang exchanged glances, looked at the jade communication devices in each other's hands, and smiled meaningfully.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
[Guinaifen: Levi, you wouldn't want Qingque to find out about this, would you?]
[Sushang: Hehehe...]
[Stelle: ? What's happening?]
Seeing Guinaifen's threatening message in the group chat, Levi remained expressionless. He slipped both hands under Mobius's armpits and lifted her effortlessly until her feet left the ground.
She was ridiculously light.
Now that she had been picked up, Mobius's expression stiffened again.
'What... is this guy planning to do?'
Levi placed Mobius on his shoulders and looked at everyone apologetically.
"Sorry about that. Please excuse my little sister's behavior."
"Since when did you have a younger sister?"
Sushang scratched her head.
"Aren't you an orphan?"
She had heard Levi say so himself when he was talking to Qingque.
Levi's expression darkened. He couldn't shake the feeling that he'd been insulted again.
"I adopted her as my younger sister at the orphanage."
"Tsk~ I thought she was something impressive. Turns out she's just a little nobody."
Feeling Mobius's body trembling slightly, Levi stared at Lord Tail with his dead-fish eyes as the latter wore a thoroughly mocking expression.
"Could you say a little less?"
"When she goes crazy, I can't stop her."
Although he didn't know whether Mobius could still enter the Herrscher-like state of Human-Honkai Eruption after leaving the Elysian Realm, if she could, then with the characteristic of "Honkai can do anything," she might end up reshaping the environment in the Exalting Sanctum to some extent.
The reshaping itself wouldn't be that big of a problem.
But if it caused problems with the Binding Evil-Quelling Formation, which kept the Heliobi trapped and prevented them from escaping the Exalting Sanctum, then things would be much worse.
The Ghost-Hunting Squad's workload would increase by at least tenfold.
Just as Lord Tail, intimidated by Levi's ability to tear Phantylia apart with his bare hands, was preparing to shut his mouth, Mobius's voice suddenly rang out.
"Are all Heliobi so foul-mouthed?"
"Oh? So you can't win an argument with me, and now you're resorting to insults?"
Lord Tail made a motion as though rolling up his sleeves, as if he intended to teach Mobius a lesson. However, he was interrupted by a voice that rang out right after.
"Now, now. Don't lump the entire Heliobus race together like that."
Turning around, they saw Stelle jogging toward them.
Guinaifen gave her a strange look.
"Weren't you the one who said you were taking leave and wouldn't come? Why did you run over here after all?"
"I asked you guys what was going on in the group chat, but none of you answered, so I came over to see for myself."
Stelle answered between breaths.
March 7th looked at her and calmly said, "Kidney deficiency."
She was already panting after running just a few steps. No one would believe her if she said she wasn't suffering from kidney deficiency.
Stelle's mouth twitched slightly.
"Don't attribute an entire race's behavior to the bad personality of a single individual."
"Hey!" Lord Tail shouted. "Who are you talking about?"
At that moment, Cirrus emerged from Stelle's body and sneered.
"Whoever answers is who I'm talking about."
"Hmph! You say my personality is bad. Are you any better yourself?"
"Of course my personality is bad too, but no matter how you look at it, I'm still not as bad as you. You managed to make a little girl directly call you foul-mouthed."
After all, the little girl hadn't insulted Cirrus or any of the other Heliobi.
So...
"You're still the most shameless one of them all.", Cirrus sneered as he cheered loudly.
"Lord Tail is the most shameless being in the world! No one can beat him! No, wait!"
"It should be, no Heliobus can beat him!"
"You ****! That ****! I'll ******!"
"Hahaha, look! Lord Tail just loves being praised like this! He's so happy he's started sending telegrams!"
"Holy crap! Mobius!"
Stelle's sudden shout drew Mobius's attention.
"You are..."
Mobius first thought for a moment, recalling the profile pictures of the people in the group chat as they flashed through her mind one by one.
Eventually, her thoughts settled on the person whose ID was Stelle, the one who had formed the "Anti-Levi Association" with Lumine in the group chat.
"Stelle?"
Before Mobius could even finish saying her name, Stelle had already turned around and run away.
As she ran, she kept muttering, "No Mobius, no Mobius, no Mobius, no Mobius."
'I don't want to see another person with the surname Mei for the rest of my life!'
