Chapter 365 So, you're not Alicia.
For the first time, Klein showed his "rebellious spirit" in front of Mebius's "expulsion".
"No, maintaining the paradise of the past is the duty the Doctor entrusted to me."
"I will not, and cannot, make decisions on my own."
Mebius, enraged, laughed instead.
"Do you think you have the same willpower as Yingjie?!"
"You can't hold on for long, and what good will the increased number you manage to grow be?"
Upon hearing this question, Klein actually stopped what he was doing, slowly raised his head, and looked at Mebius with great reverence.
Because I believe in you.
Möbius: "...?"
"Wha...what?"
Klein's words even caused Mebius's brain to freeze for a moment.
"I...I don't know the reason either," Klein hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "but based on past experience..."
"As long as I can complete my work, no matter how difficult the problem, Doctor..."
"Or rather, Mebius...she's definitely capable of solving it."
"I don't have the [Emotional] module, so... this must be a [Rational] judgment, not an impulse arising from a similar appearance."
Mebius: "..."
Her feelings at that moment were incredibly complicated.
What could she say when Klein was already in this state?
Time just passes slowly.
And this protector of the paradise of the past thus threw his own "life force" little by little into the abyss of time, in exchange for the opportunity to create another kind of "monster".
Her hands moved slower and slower...
Until, I couldn't hold on any longer.
"This... should be enough."
Möbius: "...Do you know what you've done?"
Her tone was sharp, as if she were blaming Klein for his "willfulness".
But Klein suddenly looked up again: "That's right, the more the better."
As she spoke, she tried to stand up again, but due to the limitations of her own "functions," the fluctuation of her will was not enough to make her stand up again.
Upon seeing this, Mebius felt a jolt in his heart.
"enough!"
"Destroying Paradise is the only way to guarantee success, why don't you do that!?"
“Of course there’s a reason…” Out of habit, Klein wanted to find a suitable reason for his choice.
Because it was Möbius himself who taught him that "reason should guide one's actions in all circumstances."
But... at this moment, she felt that it might not matter if things didn't go this way this time.
"Perhaps... I wanted to give it as a return gift." 717
"A return gift? What, Klein... Has the Herrscher of Corruption already destroyed your mental center?" Even at this point, Snake's mouth remained stubborn.
She was clearly anxious, but she kept putting on an act as if she was mocking the idiot for courting death.
“…Perhaps,” Klein’s voice grew increasingly weak.
"Actually, what the doctor left behind at that time...was more than just that video footage."
Perhaps knowing he couldn't hold on much longer, Klein sounded somewhat anxious as he spoke.
"So, I must also..."
"...No one here is rushing you," Snake's tone remained firm.
Klein: "...Sorry"
"At that time, the Doctor should have entered the hibernation pod with us..."
"But when I came to the lab again, she was gone..."
"Besides the video you saw, she only left me with one sentence..."
“I’ve never understood what she meant… Back then, she said…”
"..."
At this point, Klein suddenly stopped talking.
As the effects of the erosion intensified once again, her language module finally succumbed.
Snake: "..."
Mebius didn't speak, he just looked at the other person quietly.
Like Gray Serpent, Klein made the same choice.
The most effective way to curb the spread of the Law of Erosion is to destroy the [carrier].
With his last ounce of strength, Klein reached for the crucial part that kept the machine running.
"And that's... the end..."
Just as she was thinking this, she found herself suddenly unable to move.
"Is it too late?" Klein felt a pang of worry, but she quickly realized that what had deprived her of her mobility...
It's Mebius.
"Is this the [copy] I just implanted??"
Sure enough, Mebius's arrogant voice came over.
"Aren't you being too arrogant, Klein?"
"I gave you life; you have no right to dispose of it as you please."
After saying these words, Mebius used his own data to take on the corruption that Klein had suffered and redirected those "viruses" back to the afterlife.
Sensing the abnormality in his body, Klein instantly understood the consequences of Möbius's actions.
Because the prophecy module has just been corrupted, Klein is still unable to speak.
But she knew that if she did that, Mebius would also...
"In this way, the only possible connection between the Pure Land of the Past and the outside world is severed."
"Yes, it's all your fault. Now... I'm really going to die."
Snake's words, accompanied by the mournful background music, made the players feel like they could hardly breathe.
Mebius... she will never have the chance to go out into the world again.
She will completely take over the Herrscher of Corruption...
"You acted impulsively first, Klein."
"Oh...no, I'm not as stupid as you."
"Don't take yourself too seriously. I... am merely fulfilling my own 'infinity'."
Even now, Snake is still being stubborn...
However, it was precisely her stubborn attitude that completely touched the hearts of the players.
"Klein..."
"..."
"Klein?"
These two extremely soft calls seemed to have used up all of the snake's gentleness.
However, there was no answer.
The moment the virus left his body, Klein fell into a deep sleep.
"...It's really ugly."
"Don't you even have the strength to say goodbye?"
Snake's words were automatically translated into the players' minds—I still want to hear you say goodbye one last time.
Brothers, I can't hold it in anymore.
You can tell from the scrolling barrage of comments.
Players were "very happy" to eat the snake's knife.
