As Long as the Moon Endures

Chen Miemie was quite satisfied with Loop.

Humanoid, beautiful, possessing body heat, decisive in action, and possessing bizarre yet formidable strength. Although she might be a little bit of a yandere, nothing in this world is absolutely perfect.

In this graduation exam, he wasn't greedy; he only planned to contract one Aberration.

Chen Miemie had a human heart.

He needed to consider quite a lot of things.

Integrating a new Aberration into his small team required a period of adjustment and assimilation. If the team expanded too quickly and their hearts weren't united, it would be better to have fewer members.

It was only 7 in the morning, and there were still 17 hours until the end of the exam.

"Chen Miemie, could you introduce the organization's situation to me?" Loop asked.

"Organization? Oh, you mean our society, right."

"Yes. What is the name of our society?"

Loop's very first question caught Chen Miemie a bit off guard.

The society he had casually mentioned hadn't even been registered yet, so there was no time to come up with a name. But right now, Loop hadn't officially signed the contract. Even if it was just a shell company, he had to keep up appearances and couldn't scare her away.

The Invitation of the Moon needed to be signed when there was a moon.

"Hmm?" Loop noticed Chen Miemie's hesitation and raised an eyebrow.

Chen Miemie was startled, afraid that she would get suspicious, and hurriedly found an excuse:

"Logically speaking, before you officially join, it's inconvenient to leak the organization's intelligence in advance. But I think highly of you, so I'll give you a sneak peek."

"The full name of our society is..."

Chen Miemie looked at Qinghua, but Qinghua looked away; he then looked at Bobo, and Bobo drooped the pineapple leaves on top of his head.

These two were supposed to be the founding members of the organization, yet they couldn't shoulder any responsibility at a crucial moment.

In the end, Chen Miemie had to bear it all himself.

"Remember this, the full name of our organization is Everlasting as the Moon."

"Everlasting as the Moon? Isn't this name a bit too arrogant?" Loop's words expressed concern, but her tone was full of excitement.

This was a mysterious world where naming was a very solemn matter. Without the corresponding status, choosing a name with too high of a caliber would bring about karma that one couldn't withstand, and sooner or later, something bad would happen.

For example, if there really was a Sun Never Sets Society in Sixiang City, it might have been wiped out last night just because of its name.

Obviously, "Everlasting as the Moon" was even more arrogant than "Sun Never Sets".

Everyone knew that "Sun Never Sets" was just a yearning and pursuit, impossible to realize, a mere fantasy.

"Everlasting as the Moon", however, truly had a sliver of a chance of becoming a reality; it was a documentary.

With this name, sun worshippers would probably just scoff lightly, but moon worshippers would constantly jump out to see if this organization had the qualifications to be "Everlasting as the Moon".

Chen Miemie didn't think that much. Of course, even if he knew, so what? He was the Eternal Moon in the sky, walking on behalf of the moon. Why would he fear these things?

The name that came from his mouth was authorized by the Eternal Moon.

Loop was very excited; she had a knack for causing trouble in her bones.

"Then how large is our society right now? Out of the 100 cities, how many belong to our sphere of influence?"

The overly grandiose name gave Loop the expectation that the organization was incredibly powerful.

"You will slowly find out later. We are the organization department directly under the big boss of the society, holding the power of life and death over recruiting, assessing, and kicking people out. Just work hard under me from now on."

"I will do my best, Mie Mie Minister!"

Chen Miemie ignored this crazy woman who was teasing him.

On the other side.

Not far from Sixiang City.

Mengmeng, carrying her namesake rag doll, encountered the Aberration that belonged to her.

It was a pure black cat.

At first, Mengmeng didn't know this was an Aberration. She went up and hugged it in her arms, vigorously petting it for a few minutes.

"Alright, you can let me go now." The black cat enjoyed a massage and finally spoke lazily.

If it continued to let this little girl with cat ears pet it, the little girl would disappear.

"Huh? The cat spoke."

"I am the Anti-Logic Cat, you can also call me by my name, Paradox."

"Oh, oh, you are an Aberration. Come on, make your move. Brave Mengmeng is not afraid of difficulties."

"Little girl, you petted me quite comfortably just now, so I will give you a chance to answer a question.

There is a closed box by your feet, and I am in front of you.

I ask you, given that there is only one cat, is there still a cat in the box?"

Mengmeng's luck wasn't very good.

The Aberration she encountered was of the same type as the White Porcelain Lady Qinghua.

It had a relatively friendly attitude towards humans, but because of its ability, no ordinary person who encountered it survived.

The Anti-Logic Cat was a paradoxical creature shaped like a cat.

It could exist simultaneously inside and outside the box. No matter how it was observed, its state could not be determined. It did not obey the laws of physics; where it was depended solely on "what it pleased".

Any answer to its question would be wrong, because the answerer not only needed to provide an answer but also needed to prove it.

The Anti-Logic Cat could exist simultaneously inside and outside the box, but the answerer had no way to replicate its paradoxical state and thus could not provide proof.

The final result would be an incorrect answer, and then the answerer would disappear.

Disappearing meant never being seen again, ceasing to exist.

Mengmeng blinked her big eyes and weakly gave her answer: "There is still a cat in the box."

"Prove it to me."

Mengmeng opened the box, put her rag doll inside, and closed it.

"Alright, Mengmeng has proved it. Mengmeng is now that cat, both outside and inside."

The black cat licked its paws, jumped to the edge of the box, and pried open the lid.

When it looked up, there was a little girl Mengmeng outside, and when it looked down, a little girl also appeared inside the box.

Looking up again, there was a rag doll outside the box, and looking down again, there was also a rag doll inside the box.

"An excellent proof, little girl, you answered correctly."

At this moment, Mengmeng's Mystery went from 0.99 to 1, and her abilities were fully activated.

The black cat was just about to leave with its box.

Mengmeng's weak voice sounded again:

"Black cat, black cat, my 'Mengmeng' told me she wants a kitten doll. Can you stay and be with her forever?"

Hearing this, the black cat looked up. In front of it was a huge, eerie rag doll, a large mouth with sharp teeth descending upon it.

Five minutes later.

A figure walked out from behind a large tree.

The figure looked at the cardboard box left empty on the ground, and then looked in the direction the little girl had just left.

"The little genius of Sixiang City is truly remarkable. To have such strength at such a young age, and as beautiful as a flower. I almost can't bear to destroy her."

Mengmeng kept the words of Grandpa Dean firmly in mind. She had already achieved a breakthrough and couldn't do anything unnecessary.

She needed to find a hidden place to hide.

"Child, my cat has gone missing. Have you seen it?"

In a blind spot of the mountain, the man who had been trailing her all the way appeared and walked towards Mengmeng.

Mengmeng looked up and blinked her big eyes twice.

She pulled a small black cat out of her embrace.

"Uncle, are you talking about this one?"

"How is that possible? Didn't you..."

"Did you really think the children at our school are as cruel as the cultists of your Church of the Mist? Mr. The Painter."

The pursuing man turned around. Standing behind him was the young girl, Fengling.

"Hmph, so it's a trap. It seems I've become the mantis stalking the cicada. But as a mere instructor coddled in the greenhouse of a school, what makes you think you can keep me here?"
