When Van saw Kiana bringing Mobius toward him, he was dumbfounded.
'Good, good, good! Good for you, you little sea squirt, so this is how you're playing it! So you were the one who brought Mobius here?'
'Back then, how did I help you? And this is how you repay me!!!'
Looking at Mobius getting closer and closer to him, Van wanted to hide back in the classroom, but it was already too late.
No other choice now, this time he could only face it head-on.
With years of life-and-death experience, Van quickly adjusted his mindset. The speed at which his expression changed would make even professional actors feel ashamed in comparison.
Just like that, Van, with a 'calm' expression, walked past the four of them.
Mobius's gaze just happened to sweep across Van, then casually looked away, as if she had only seen an irrelevant passerby.
She continued chatting and laughing with Kiana and the others, walking right past Van, without even a pause in her steps.
After passing the corner of the corridor and confirming there was no danger, Van pulled his phone out of his pocket and quickly sent a message to Himeko and Fu Hua.
A simple summary, just one word...
[Danger!]
———
Meanwhile, in the corridor of the teaching building, Raiden Mei was introducing Mobius to the school's history and a few famous photo spots.
Bronya, on the other hand, remained vigilant the whole time, her eyes occasionally scanning over Mobius.
Suddenly, Kiana, who hadn't said anything for half the day, suddenly let out a weird shout, drawing the attention of the other three.
"Kiana, what are you yelling for all of a sudden?" Bronya, startled, immediately complained.
"Hehe, sorry."
Kiana scratched the back of her head and said with a laugh, "I just suddenly felt that the guy who walked past us just now looked really familiar, but I couldn't remember who he was at the moment."
"With your memory, forgetting people isn't that strange, is it?"
"Aiya, Bronya, let me finish what I was saying!" Kiana said seriously. "So just now, I really put in a lot of effort to remember who that guy was."
"Who was it?"
"It was the guy that Fu Hua was chasing down to collect class fees before."
Kiana said proudly, "And to think you, Bronya, pride yourself on being a genius, how is your memory worse than mine?"
After Kiana's reminder, Bronya's mind suddenly recalled the memory of that day.
But what surprised Bronya was, why couldn't she remember anything about that at all before Kiana reminded her?
Up ahead, seeing Mobius pause to watch the two of them argue, Raiden Mei gave an apologetic smile and said, "Ma'am, the two of them are always like this, I hope you don't mind."
"It's fine~ The two of them reminded me of my own school days. I used to gossip about people with my best friends just like this..."
Mobius said with a gentle laugh, "Oh right, if it's alright, could you tell me about Fu Hua and that boy? I'm quite curious..."
———
At the same time, Van found Fu Hua and Himeko.
"Mobius is here," Van said with a heavy tone. "I just saw her, Kiana and the others are showing her around the school."
Upon hearing that Mobius, who was only supposed to arrive in the afternoon, had suddenly shown up early, Himeko immediately frowned. She understood what this meant.
At this moment, Fu Hua spoke from the side, "You met her? Did she recognize you?"
"Probably not. I suspect Mobius's target this time is Kiana and the others."
Van paused in thought, "But she's definitely started to suspect already. With her intelligence, even the smallest clue, she can trace it back."
Fu Hua nodded and said, "Then what should we do next?"
"Right now, what we can do is keep acting normal, and deal with things as they come. We absolutely must not alert her, otherwise, it will only make her more suspicious."
Himeko agreed, "That's all we can do for now."
———
On the other side, Mobius had just finished a simple tour of St. Freya Academy with Kiana and the other two.
She kept a warm smile on her face the whole time, occasionally chatting with Kiana and the others, appearing friendly and easy-going.
"Thank you for showing me around," Mobius said with a smile at the school gate. "You've gone through a lot of trouble for me today."
Kiana waved her hand and said cheerfully, "No problem at all. Mobius, if you come again next time, you can contact us."
Raiden Mei also nodded politely, "You're welcome to visit again."
Bronya stood silently to the side, still holding a trace of vigilance in her gaze, but didn't say much.
Mobius smiled, turned around, and walked toward the black sedan parked by the roadside.
She opened the car door and sat in the back seat. After taking off her hat, her long green hair slid smoothly down her shoulders and back.
The smile on her face vanished instantly, replaced by endless indifference.
The car slowly started moving. Mobius leaned against the seat, her gaze looking out the window, while her mind began replaying the earlier events.
"Kiana Kaslana, Raiden Mei, Bronya Zaychik..."
She softly murmured the three names, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly, "These three kids really are exactly like in the video."
Then, her thoughts turned to the boy who had brushed past her in the corridor.
Although Raiden Mei had ultimately declined her request, Mobius still picked up on some clues from Kiana and Bronya's conversation.
"A boy related to Fu Hua? Interesting..."
Thinking this, Mobius tried to recall what that boy looked like, yet found her memory completely blank. His appearance, clothing, even his voice, all seemed to be covered in a thin veil.
"How strange..." Mobius furrowed her brows slightly. "How could I not remember a single detail?"
That boy was like a completely unremarkable passerby, so ordinary that he was impossible to remember. But precisely that "ordinariness" made her feel something was off.
"No distinguishing traits... that's often the biggest problem..."
Thinking of this, Mobius's lips curled into a cold smile.
She took out her phone and dialed a number.
The call was quickly answered, and a calm female voice came from the other side, [Doctor, any orders?]
Mobius said coldly, "Help me compile an investigation on all the men who've recently appeared around Fu Hua, make it as detailed as possible."
[Understood, Doctor,] the other side replied succinctly.
After hanging up, Mobius set her phone aside and once again looked out the window.
The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a smile tinged with madness.
"Little mouse~ I've finally caught your tail..."
