The Little Ghostbusting Squad, who were far away investigating in the Scalegorge Waterscape, suddenly received a message from Levi.
"Brothers! I have a great idea for catching a heliobus. Do you want to hear it?"
After receiving the message, Sushang was the first to reply.
"What method?"
"Forget about what method it is or whatever. I just want my family to hurry over here and have some fun with us."
Compared with being curious about the "great idea for catching a heliobus" Levi had mentioned, Guinaifen cared more about Levi himself.
As someone who loved making fun, the entertainment value he brought could simply be described as "top-tier."
And because of what had happened some time ago, coupled with how he came and went without a trace, his popularity on the Luofu was extremely high.
If he could keep appearing on her account, all that massive traffic would obediently flow into Guinaifen's pockets.
Besides, Levi was also very powerful. If he could come to the Scalegorge Waterscape, then even if they encountered danger, the Little Ghostbusting Squad would have nothing to fear.
Speaking of this, Guinaifen remembered that Stelle had asked her for leave today. She turned to March 7th and asked with concern what had happened to Stelle.
There was still a heliobus sealed inside Stelle's body. With her asking for leave today, it was hard not to wonder whether something had gone wrong with her health.
March 7th calmly said, "She went out to attend a *party. She only came back not long ago."
The completely exhausted look on her face was simply too much to look at.
"?"
A question mark appeared above Guinaifen's head.
Huohuo also spoke in the group chat. "Tell us what the method is. I'll go ask Lady Xueyi later and see if it's possible."
———
Meanwhile, Levi raised his head and glanced at Mobius, who was chatting happily with Phantylia.
He typed, [I heard from a certain heliobus that after leaving the body, a soul has an extremely strong attraction to heliobi.]
"Of course."
Lord Tail curled his lips after seeing that. "One is food wrapped in alloy, and the other is food wrapped in a plastic bag. Which one would you humans choose?"
If the soul was white paper, then the body was the book cover.
The hard surface made it impossible for the flames to ignite it all at once. It needed to be burned continuously before the white paper inside could catch fire.
To put it more simply, the body was the outer skin of the fruit, while the soul inside was the part that the heliobi could eat.
Well, to be precise, it was the emotions produced by the soul.
"Alloy." ×2
"..."
After hearing their answers, Lord Tail fell silent. "You two are picking a fight on purpose, aren't you?!"
Sushang scratched her head. "I was just curious what kind of food would need to be wrapped in alloy."
"Yep, yep." Guinaifen nodded repeatedly, indicating that she thought the same as Sushang.
As expected of her good sister. Even when it came to choosing an answer, they thought exactly the same way!
Guinaifen and Sushang looked at each other.
"Hm?"
Out of the corner of her eye, Sushang caught sight of Lord Tail baring his teeth and slowly approaching them.
Her heart trembled, and she said nervously, "We should probably ask Levi what his method is."
"Tch~"
Lord Tail stopped approaching and swayed over to Huohuo's side, wanting to see what Levi's method was.
"Don't tell me he found a Memokeeper from the Garden of Recollection to come help."
If that were really the case, he would absolutely have to go to Fuli and report that one of the people under Them was secretly taking private jobs.
However, the people of the Garden of Recollection usually lived within memories. Unless there was some necessity, they simply would not appear in front of people.
Let alone appear in the real world to help with something that had absolutely nothing to do with their work.
Their long-standing principle had always been to record things. They rarely interfered.
Besides, the Garden of Recollection was an organization under a Aeon, and each of its Memokeepers carried more or less some trace of the Aeon's aura.
If someone told a heliobus that she was a person of the Aeon Fuli, an ordinary heliobus was not an idiot. How could it possibly attack someone who carried the aura of a Aeon?
"Just ask and we'll know."
Guinaifen typed in the Little Ghostbusting Squad group chat, "Family, you didn't happen to find a Memokeeper from the Garden of Recollection to help, did you?"
Judging from the nature of the Garden of Recollection, something like this was unlikely.
But judging from Levi's previous performance on the Luofu, knowing someone from the Garden of Recollection and being able to find a Memokeeper to help somehow did not seem unreasonable at all.
"The Garden of Recollection?"
Levi glanced at Mobius again. He saw her happily asking Phantylia all kinds of questions about heliobi.
He nodded. "I guess you could say that."
As an "old thing" that had lived for more than fifty thousand years, the length of Mobius's memories might be longer than that of some younger Aeons.
Her memories also contained detailed records concerning the civilization before the Honkai.
She could barely be considered half a Memokeeper.
As for why she was only half one, that was mainly because the Garden of Recollection had never certified Mobius.
'Hahaha...'
A phantom laugh came from somewhere, and Levi suddenly discovered that there was a pull-over mask in his hand. Its design was exactly the same as that of the Memokeeper who had appeared on the Astral Express.
Clearly, this was Aha's handiwork again.
That damned bastard was still hiding in some corner, secretly peeping at him.
Just thinking about it made Levi shudder.
He flipped his hand and put the thing away. He had no intention of putting something like this on Mobius.
If something went wrong and Mobius was discovered and taken away by a Aeon, there was nothing he could do to stop it.
Levi was confident he could fight an Emanator now.
But a Aeon... forget it.
He couldn't beat one.
He really couldn't.
If he could beat one, would he have ended up in a situation where he was being secretly watched and unable to resist?
What a fun-lover.
Damn goose heart.
"Mobius, I'll take you out to have a look at this world without Honkai. What do you think?"
Levi put down his phone and looked at Mobius with a smile.
———
"Looks like today's exchange can only be forced to end here."
Phantylia's voice carried a faint laugh.
"I look forward to our next exchange."
Mobius did not answer. She lowered her head.
"Heliobi... truly fascinating creatures."
Energy-based lifeforms that fed on the emotions of intelligent beings.
The existence of such things was neither scientific nor reasonable.
Mobius did not deny that emotions themselves were a kind of energy.
During the experiments on the MANTIS warriors, human emotions played a considerable role.
Take Hua, for example.
After a Fusion Factor was injected into her body, she successfully activated the Fusion Factor and became a MANTIS warrior at a moment of life and death on the battlefield.
During this process, it was difficult to deny the power brought about by emotions.
But...
Just how could emotions be used as energy?
Mobius did not know the answer to this question. Likewise, Vill-V did not know either.
Perhaps... this question could be answered in this world.
As Mobius pondered this, Levi spoke again, and she said, "The place we're in now is called the Luofu, right?"
She had just heard Phantylia mention it.
Her eyes, filled with allure, gazed at Levi.
"Take me to where the heliobi are."
