If they needed help with an armed puppet, they could just take it to Vill-V. For a true genius, something like this did not even count as a problem.
"You came to me for something this low-level? Fu Hua, you could've just gone straight to Mobius," Vill-V said, feeling like she was being underestimated.
It was just charging an armed puppet. Any random person could do that, yet they had specifically come to her, a genius, for it.
"What's that supposed to mean, Vill-V? Do you think I'm that free?"
Mobius walked over and spoke in an annoyed tone. She could indeed charge an armed puppet, but that did not mean she had nothing better to do.
"This armed puppet… Those two made it, didn't they?"
Mobius could tell at a glance. The Book of Cang Xuan's appearance carried traces of both of those two.
Although those two were always slacking off and playing little tricks, thinking about them now was still rather nostalgic.
"This little thing was made by those two to keep Little Lab Rat company, wasn't it?" Mobius roughly understood their intentions.
As a Pioneer, Fu Hua was special. Project Divine Firmament had affected her greatly. If she were even slightly careless, she could easily become stubborn and extreme. That would be bad, both for the world and for Fu Hua herself.
Having someone who could accompany her in their place would at least keep Fu Hua from being lonely.
"Vill-V, are you telling me you can't charge this puppet?" Mobius said.
"Of course I can. If I couldn't even handle a tiny thing like this, I might as well go find a block of tofu and bash myself to death with it."
"Here. This is a universal charging device for armed puppets. I have no idea what Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu were thinking. This isn't even something hard to make, yet they didn't leave even one behind."
Vill-V took out a charging device for armed puppets.
"Maybe those two simply forgot," Mobius said faintly.
She strongly suspected that was the case. Those two people were always messing around.
If they could make an armed puppet, then they could definitely make the matching charging device too.
"They probably wouldn't do that, right?" Fu Hua said.
"There's another possibility. Fu Hua, maybe you forgot about it yourself," Koji added.
If Fu Hua had happened to erase that part of her memories, then she really would not know there had been a charger.
"Perhaps."
Fu Hua nodded. She quite agreed with that explanation.
Since she had needed to clear away memories that were too heavy to bear, perhaps she really had erased that part as well. In that case, it was very possible that this was her own problem.
The armed puppet charged very quickly.
"The Book of Cang Xuan has sufficient energy. Restarting."
The armed puppet known as the Book of Cang Xuan opened her eyes. Although she had been artificially created, her eyes were so lively that they seemed almost human.
"That was such a comfortable sleep."
"Blockhead, you're here too."
The Book of Cang Xuan flew beside Fu Hua and carefully looked her up and down.
"I should've slept for many years. Blockhead, why hasn't your figure changed at all?" The Book of Cang Xuan looked at Fu Hua's utterly flat chest, sounding rather puzzled.
Fu Hua: "…"
Her fist hardened.
Calm down.
The Book of Cang Xuan had only just woken up. She would not stoop to arguing with her.
Mobius and the others could not help laughing. This armed puppet was quite amusing. To be honest, they were also a little puzzled as to why Fu Hua's figure had not grown at all.
"That said, even though your figure hasn't grown, your personality has changed quite a bit. This kind of change is pretty good." The Book of Cang Xuan nodded.
It seemed that after she entered dormancy, Fu Hua had not developed in the worst possible direction.
"Long time no see, Book of Cang Xuan. Also, welcome back."
"I'm back."
The Book of Cang Xuan hugged Fu Hua, producing a loud metallic clang.
Still as hard as ever.
If Fu Hua's chest could be a little softer, she would be even happier.
"Little thing, do you recognize me?"
Mobius asked with great interest. She wondered whether this armed puppet's database had any information on her.
"You are… Dr. Mobius!"
The answer was yes.
When she saw Mobius, the Book of Cang Xuan first froze, then revealed an extremely human-like expression of terror.
She was clearly a machine lifeform, yet she displayed such a rich expression of fear.
Even Mobius had not expected the Book of Cang Xuan to show such an exaggerated expression.
That reaction felt somewhat familiar to her.
Back then, whenever she caught those two sisters slacking off, they had the exact same terrified reaction. Sometimes, they would even act pitiful and beg for mercy.
As expected of something made by those two lazy slackers. They were truly birds of a feather.
"It's nothing. It is all simply my respect for you, Dr. Mobius." The Book of Cang Xuan forced a smile.
"I doubt that. Those two probably said quite a few bad things about me, didn't they? Like calling me a demon or something." Mobius understood those two all too well.
If she had still been alive, they definitely would not have dared. But since she had already died, they must have freely talked about her however they pleased.
Well, well, well.
Those two really had gotten bold.
"…"
"Forget it. I won't argue with you. Book of Cang Xuan, you should have a charging device, right?" Mobius asked.
"I do, but it can't be used anymore."
The Book of Cang Xuan spoke helplessly. If she could have used the charging device, why would she have gone into dormancy because she ran out of power?
"Oh, right, Doctor. Weren't you already dead?" The Book of Cang Xuan asked curiously.
She only needed to be charged in order to awaken, but Mobius had truly died. How could she possibly have come back to life?
"You know about the Elysian Realm, right?"
Mobius did not mind that sort of thing. She was not that Mobius. Whoever was alive was the one and only Mobius.
"I know. Could this be the Elysian Realm?" The Book of Cang Xuan looked confused.
There was no flow of data.
"Let me explain…"
After hearing Koji's explanation, the Book of Cang Xuan understood.
So that was what had happened.
However, even if this was the Mobius from the Elysian Realm, she was still terrifying.
"Blockhead, are we going back to Mount Taixuan?"
"No. I'm currently studying at St. Freya Academy."
There was nothing left tying her to Mount Taixuan. Her bonds were now at the academy, so there was no need to go back.
"Studying?"
The Book of Cang Xuan knew what that meant, but Fu Hua was already tens of thousands of years old. She still had to go to school?
With Fu Hua's knowledge reserves, did she really need to attend school?
The Book of Cang Xuan could not understand.
Although Fu Hua was not a specialized scholar, she had remembered a great many things.
"It's a long story. I'll tell you slowly in the future."
Fu Hua shook her head helplessly.
The reason she had gone to school was because of Otto, but because of that, she had also made quite a few friends.
