Although her body's dependence on sleep is already low, Camille still retains the habit of sleeping—albeit just over an hour—for her, sleep is not only rest, but also a confirmation and insistence on self-identity.

These habits remind her that she is still alone.

A living person with his own thoughts and goals - not a cold Hex creation.

Of course, the word "one" here used to have a double meaning, which also meant being single, but it was not long ago that this double meaning disappeared.

Reaffirming the stability of the Hexes energy in his body, Camille put on his armor and quickly got up, climbed over several roofs, and arrived at Hakim's laboratory.

As Camille had expected, the lab lights were still on—and Hakim was up all night again.

Compared with the large-scale transformation of Kamil, Hakim at this time is actually less like a human - his resistance to exhaustion is far greater than that of Camille, and he does not even need necessary maintenance, and the scale of time is endlessly stretched in front of Hakim, and Camille sometimes even feels that maybe his lover is in a sense the realization of the eternal life that countless people have dreamed of.

Of course, eternal life here may not be as beautiful as imagined.

Pushing open the door to the lab, it was a mess as expected.

Since becoming an elemental creature, Hakim's temperament has changed considerably, although most of the time, he is still the gentle, humorous, and polite scholar, but sometimes, Hakim will also fall into occasional confusion, becoming irritable and unreasonable, according to Mr. Rod, this is "the inevitability of elementality", it seems that Hakim's elemental life is not pure enough.

Sighing slightly in her heart, although Camille was a little anxious, her face did not change in the slightest - because she knew very well that even if she said something, she could not help, and could only make Hakim feel pressure, so she chose to bury her worries in the bottom of her heart.

"You need a break, dear." Reaching out and rubbing Hakim's temples, Camille quickly relaxed Hakim, "It's time for a walk—the smog in Zaun is just right today." ”

"Give me three minutes." Hakim stared at the bubbling sample on the table, "New results will come out soon...... Wait a minute, it's important. ”

Camille hummed softly, and then followed Hakim as he looked at the silvery-white unknown specimen of the instrument - three minutes later, the specimen began to swell, then rapidly collapsed again, eventually becoming a dry, disgusting-looking, burnt-smelling mass.

"Damn it." Hakim looked a little irritable again, and he slammed his fist on the table, smashing a large hole into the sturdy test bench, "The stress test still fails...... It's been almost a hundred years since I left Phi City, and the materials science here is still standing still—"

"After all, there are only a few geniuses who can push the industry forward." Camille lifted Hakim up with ease, then tucked a coat into his arms, "This kind of thing can't be rushed, it's time for a walk, hurry up, we're about to miss the smog of Zaun." ”

Babbling with contempt for his fellow materials science researcher, Hakim obediently put on his coat, finally stood up, and left the laboratory first—and behind him, Camille smiled helplessly, and could only wake up the servant on duty and order another test bench......

After completing the instructions, Camille quickly ran onto the beams of the room, and then chased in the direction of Hakim.

On the street outside the Philos family, Camille and Hakim converge again.

"Take it easy, my dear, and don't frown." Landing lightly beside Hakim, Camille smiled and said, "I don't know much about your work, but according to what you said before, this is a study that can change the city of Picheng - isn't it normal for this kind of great research to take some time?" ”

"That's right, that's right." As if the word great pleased Hakim, he quickly got rid of complaining about the incompetence of his peers, and his mood improved, "Which way are we going?" Is it over here? ”

"Of course not—" Camille didn't hide his smile in the slightest, "You've chosen the wrong direction again, why do you keep going out and turning left after a hundred years?" ”

“…… A little bit of personal habit. Hakim blinked a little awkwardly and stiffly changed the subject, "It seems like we're leaving a little early today?" ”

"That's how you can see the smog of Zuan." There was a little more ambiguity in Camille's tone, "In the past, Zuan was shrouded in smog all day long, and now, only in the early morning when the air is moist, we can see the green mist of Zuan. ”

"Green mist?" Hakim seemed to be interested, "I've never seen it before!" ”

……………………

While the elevator between Zaun and Peel City hadn't started working at this time, landing was no problem for Camille and Hakim - Camille's motorized device was able to rappel easily, while Hakim could turn himself into a gust of wind.

In this way, the two of them easily jumped off the edge of the cliff and came to Zu'an.

"Go this way." Camille corrected Hakim again, "That's the city government of Zaun, and this is the Green Mist Mine!" ”

Led by Camille, the two men soon arrived at the pit that could tumble green mist - to their surprise, the pit was surrounded by people.

That's right, because of the gradual disappearance of Zu'an pollution, this green haze has gradually become rare, and now this green fog pit has even become a small attraction, in this rare wet morning, many tourists choose to come here to see the novelty.

The crowd made Camille look a little unhappy - she had been used to being behind the scenes for a long time, and the scene of so many people was not a fun experience for her.

On the other hand, Hakim saw that his lover didn't seem to be very happy with the current scene, and after blinking, he came up with an interesting idea.

Taking advantage of Camille's lack of attention, Hakim quietly let the wind bring a bit of scrap metal, and then began smelting and casting.

The power of the elements gave Hakim the ability to work in the field, and although his processing was crude, his goal this time was not too complicated.

"Whoa." Soon, Hakim finished his work, and then handed Camille a small pistol that was still a little hot, "Come, pull the trigger towards the green mist." ”

"Huh?"

Camille apparently didn't understand what Hakim meant, but he chose to pull the trigger anyway - and then an electromagnetic shock flashed away, and the thick green haze was cut into a hazy heart shape.

The crowd of onlookers also obviously noticed something, and many people cast staring eyes at Camille and Hakim, in this case, Camille simply pulled up Hakim, who didn't understand what was going on, and chose to leave directly.

After three turns and two turns, the two of them disappeared on the street corner.

……………………

Back in the lab, sitting in front of the new lab table, Hakim looked apologetic.

"Uh, I didn't expect them to come around......"

"Well, I also know that green haze is rare......"

"But those people are right, the green heart shape is a little weird......"

"Next time I'll definitely add a color-changing device......"

"I'm really sorry......"

But this time, before Hakim could finish his sentence, his mouth was staked—the cold touch flashed, and the next moment, Camille had already left the laboratory.

"No need to be sorry, honey - I loved your little surprise." Although the person had already left, Camille's voice appeared beside Hakim, "Also, don't forget today's afternoon tea, the family has just got a new batch of different coffee, maybe it will be more in line with your taste." ”

Hakim froze in place - the next moment, he hummed a "pop song" that was almost a hundred years old, and then threw himself back into the experiment.

Of course, before the experiment began, he did not forget to set an alarm clock.

Two o'clock, the best tea time.
