Honkai Impact 3rd: I picked up a Seele at the start of the game.

Chapter 41 The Great Free Heaven

……

the next day.

I woke up in the morning, stretched happily, and then picked up my phone to turn off the alarm, only to see a barrage of text messages from Mebius.

Möbius: Are you awake yet?

Möbius: Are you awake yet?

Möbius: Are you awake yet?

Möbius: You're so lazy.

Mebius: Whether you want to train or rest, come to me at 10 o'clock today. I've made a table showing the compatibility between your genes and those of the Honkai Beasts. Come and take a look for yourself.

Möbius: There's something special about you that I need an explanation for. You'd better come up with a reason before you come back.

Mebius: The Herrscher of Death... Heh.

Mebius: Haha.

"..."

"Wow, that's a little scary."

Yun Fuyu couldn't help but shiver. Mebius sent two "hehe" messages in a row. Had she discovered Seele?

However, when soldiers come, we will block them; when water comes, we will dam it. Even if we have tears in our eyes, we will still jump into the pit we dug ourselves!

After Yun Fuyu finished washing up, she immediately asked Hen for leave, saying she was going to see Möbius. Hen replied instantly with "Take care"...? Even Hen thinks Möbius is scary, right?!

In the cafeteria and on the way to the research institute, Yun Fuyu would look around from time to time, hoping to catch a glimpse of Xier. Unfortunately, perhaps because Xier (in disguise) was younger, their training times always clashed.

We still need to wait for a "chance encounter" before we can openly and legitimately be together with Seele.

Arrived at the Möbius Institute.

He first showed his pass, told the gatekeeper that he had been verbally invited by Möbius, and then, despite the gatekeeper's pitying gaze, he braced himself and went inside.

Hey, that little green-haired girl up ahead looks familiar. Could it be... Klein?

The green-haired girl looked up and saw Yun Fuyu. She immediately looked down and compared the photo with the information in her hand. Then she rushed over and nodded to Yun Fuyu: "Are you Mr. Yun Fuyu?"

He nodded: "Yes."

Green-haired girl: "I'm Klein, Dr. Möbius's new assistant. The doctor asked me to show you the data, please come with me."

"it is good."

As Yun Fuyu followed Klein, she asked, "What is Möbius busy with?"

Klein didn't turn her head: "It involves classified information, please don't ask any more questions."

"..."

Yun Fuyu was speechless for a moment. But it made perfect sense.

~

Klein led Yun Fuyu to a computer, opened a document for him, and said, "It's right here. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me, and I can explain it to you. If I don't understand either, I can ask the Doctor for you."

"Ah."

Yun Fuyu sat down comfortably and began to carefully read the document. Klein stood behind him, looking exactly like Yun's little assistant.

In addition to piling up data and arguments, the document also thoughtfully includes a table showing the data-driven matching degree between Yunfuyu and different Honkai Beast genes, but this is for reference only.

Unsurprisingly, the Great Heaven's compatibility score is far ahead, reaching a high of 86%. The compatibility score of the Emperor-class Honkai Beast just below it is a paltry 7%.

After looking at the table and working backwards, Yun Fuyu could only understand about three-tenths of the gene analysis related to the Great Free Heaven, but he could get the general idea: the rejection reaction (allergic reaction) was relatively weak, and the activity of mitochondria and other cells and the concentration of collapse energy were significantly increased after fusion. Only a small number of cells experienced gene collapse after fusion, and the vast majority remained stable.

Among all the gene matching test data that Mebius has, the matching reference value between Yun Fuyu and Da Zizaitian is far ahead, and it is difficult for other people to even break through 10% with any Honkai Beast gene.

Yun Fuyu tossed the mouse aside: "Okay, I'm done watching."

Mebius might want him to seriously consider (which gene to choose for fusion), or perhaps to find a reason for the singularity of the Great Free Heaven (after all, he knows Seele, the Great Free Heaven is Seele's companion Honkai Beast, and Seele suddenly appeared in the Fire Moth). But for Yun Fuyu, all he wanted was the result of "being able to fuse with the Great Free Heaven's gene"; nothing else mattered.

Klein blinked her clear eyes and stared at him for a long while before accepting the situation and taking him to find Mebius.

~

Sit down and talk with Mebius.

She flipped through her handwritten notebook, seemingly absentmindedly asking, "Have you thought it through?"

Yun Fuyu: "Hmm, let's see the results. The gene of the Great Free Heaven is the most suitable for me."

Möbius: "Your relationship with Seele will improve your genetic compatibility with the Great Free Heaven. I have no comment on that. You'd better come up with a good reason to convince me."

She seemed to be in a bad mood, kicking the stool and glancing at the projection screen beside her. As the projector automatically turned on, photos appeared before their eyes.

There are scenes of Yun Fuyu and Seele venturing through the wilderness, scenes of the Herrscher of Death battling Kevin, and now, Seele in disguise fighting in a simulation training room.

Yun Fuyu frowned: "This is... Xi'er? She... no, she's not the Xi'er I know."

Yun Fuyu approached the projection screen, carefully observing Seele, and said to Möbius, "The age is wrong, the birthmark (the stigmata on her chest) is wrong, and the hair color is wrong..."

However, my Seele is so cute.

Her feigned weakness and fierce fighting spirit evoked a strong protective instinct in people!

Yun Fuyu took a deep breath, looking frustrated: "If she's not Xi'er, she does look a lot like Xi'er. If she is Xi'er, why didn't she come to find me..."

~

Mebius couldn't tell whether Yun Fuyu was acting or not.

It wasn't because Yun's acting was too convincing, but because a beautiful girl with pink hair had spoken with Mebius and had been in close contact with Seele. She assured Mebius that Seele was definitely not the Herrscher of Death.

(In terms of appearance, the Herrscher of Death is closer to the look of Black Seele, while the current Seele is closer to the look of Summer Snow Lily. In terms of temperament, the Herrscher of Death is more evil than Black Seele, while the current Seele has the temperament of the cat-tailed Seele from Honkai Impact 2 and the JK Seele from Honkai Impact 3, frail, pitiful and charming, indeed very different.)

With Alicia's confident assurances, Mebius was indeed unsure.

So, she sent a message to Yun Fuyu to provoke him, and then confronted him in person, demanding that he "find a suitable reason," trying to pressure him with her presence. But Yun Fuyu acted decisively, and his last words carried an even deeper meaning:

[If she isn't Seele, but she does look a lot like Seele—I don't want anyone to replace Seele.]

If she is Seele, why doesn't she come to me? — We forged a deep bond along the way.

Undeniably, I want to get to know her.

"cut."

Mebius chuckled, which sounded sarcastic, but in reality, she herself was unsure and could only feign disdain.

Yun Fuyu was still watching the projected screen, seemingly still attached to that "Xier".
