Something's Gone Awry!

Even so, Bella still shrank behind Rita... or more precisely, behind Liu Bai.

"Oh..."

Mei pushed up her glasses with an icy expression.

Seeing Mei's expression, Bella shuddered.

"... Do you know who you should be afraid of?"

Mei looked at Bella, who was trembling slightly, and seemed to be thinking about where to make the best incision.

"However, this matter may not actually be the doctor's fault."

"How so?" Rita asked Mei.

The silver-haired dragon maid in front of her, who had no reputation for being a maid, made her feel a rare sense of crisis in the maid's field.

Oh no, this is terrible.

Although Rita felt that she was absolutely no less skilled than a Judgment-Class Honkai Beast in terms of maid abilities, this kind of character design...

Dragon maid and stuff... isn't that a cheat code?

Mei didn't understand Rita's sense of crisis, and instead turned her attention to Shibao.

Why are you looking at me?

As expected, Shibao Bao revealed a guilty expression.

"At least show some respect for your senior sister! Don't make false accusations! I put in a lot of effort in this matter!"

"But the only one with a problem is you, Senior Sister, right?"

Mei pushed up her glasses, her tone calm but with an undeniable sense of determination.

"Based on the reasoning, only four people have had contact with the core—the original owner's Herrscher of Domination, me, you, Senior Sister, Benares."

"Yes, so what? There are four people involved, why are you framing me?"

Okay, seeing Shibao's extremely obvious guilty expression, everyone understood.

This matter is probably really related to Shibao.

However, as the conversation progressed to this point, no one present was prepared to interrupt Mei's reasoning; everyone was ready to listen.

"We can rule out the Herrscher of Domination and Benares first."

Mei pushed up her glasses.

"If the Herrscher of Domination had any connection with the Doctor, he would have clung to his coattails and tried to curry favor long ago—the same goes for Benares, who should have begged the Doctor for his life long ago."

"Uh..." Shibao looked up at the sky.

Mei continued, "That leaves only you and me, but as everyone knows, I'm just an ordinary scientist, so naturally I can't do anything to the core."

No, no, no, you're anything but ordinary!

Everyone else present was silently complaining to themselves.

"So, through this process of elimination, only you, Senior Sister, remain... So, Senior Sister, do you have anything to say in your argument?"

"I... I... I didn't know it was a female dragon!"

Shibao said in despair.

"I didn't even know she could turn into a human! I really just wanted to find a mount for Teacher Liu. Since it's for Teacher Liu's mount, of course I have to instill some obedience in it! What did I do wrong!"

"Yes, Senior Sister, you're right. In some ways, it really is an excellent 'mount'."

Mei gritted her teeth and said resentfully, then drove the car right in front of her. Except for Bianka and Bella, who were a bit slow on the uptake, everyone else's faces first turned red, then dark.

Some people just took Mei's words as a bad joke, but some of the more perceptive people present had already realized that Bella... this girl doesn't have universal values.

In other words, as long as she likes you, she won't feel any pressure about sleeping with you, right?

After all, Judgment-Class Honkai Beast still has the word "beast" in its name, right?

Um... wait a minute, actually, if you think about it carefully, if Liu Bai suggested going to bed with them, they don't seem to feel any psychological pressure, and might even be overjoyed.

Thinking about this, experienced drivers like Mei and Rita immediately looked at Bella with much better eyes.

After all, if we look at it this way, is Bella's personality less of a threat than some of those guys?

(Honkai Beast probably don't have a heat cycle, right?)

Mei and Rita both thought of it at the same time.

(And some people seem to be in heat all year round.)

Mei and Rita smiled at each other.

"..."

Liu Bai felt that the atmosphere was getting strange.

"Since we're all maids, Bella, you'll come with me."

Rita supported Liu Bai with one hand and reached out with the other to pull Bella.

Bella didn't offer any resistance, but her gaze kept following the Liu Bai doll.

"From now on, you'll be my deputy."

Rita spoke to Bella, but Bella remained expressionless, seemingly oblivious to whether she had heard a word.

"The adjutant's adjutant?" Bianka tilted her head. She didn't really care about this nesting doll-like behavior, but seeing Rita and Bella being so "intimate" always felt a little off.

Is there going to be another Judgment-Class Honkai Beast among the members of the Unfading Blade team?

"I really hope she remembers that in some way I was also a maid..."

Shiora muttered to herself that if she hadn't seen Bella, she would have almost forgotten that she also had the identity of a "maid apprentice".

Although she was initially very resistant, after recognizing the wisdom and prowess of her master, Shiora felt that being a maid wasn't so bad.

Anyway, with that $100 million, doing one more job means she can retire a day earlier— Raven is a mercenary with principles!

After Rita pulled Bella away, the others also felt bored.

After all, to be honest, it doesn't really matter if there's one more or one less person on this battlefield now.

It's just a dragon, what's so special about that?

Well, there is one thing that everyone present agrees on—we should absolutely not rush to give Liu Bai a body treatment!

What if some vixen sneaks into Liu Bai's bed?

After all, none of us are the kind of people with strong wills... the moment we think about it, we start climbing...

Midnight.

Outside Rita's door, Liu Bai looked at the expressionless, silver-haired dragon maid in front of him, somewhat speechless.

The new, clueless, silver-haired dragon maid is even more clingy than Shibao.

Bella goes wherever Liu Bai goes, and thanks to Shibao's processing, Bella also inherited a little bit of his spiritual characteristics.

Specifically, it means... his nose is very sensitive.

Wherever Liu Bai drifts in his ghost form, Bella can find him just by sniffing— Liu Bai Bella no idea what the underlying principle is.

Ghosts have a ghostly smell!

Even Mei didn't know how to explain this situation.

Even if Liu Bai were replaced by someone else, Bella could quickly find out who Liu Bai had moved to.

This blatant stalking behavior caused considerable distress to everyone, including Liu Bai.

Although Bella would obediently comply if Liu Bai told Bella to stand still, Bella would show a pitiful look, like an abandoned puppy, once Liu Bai moved a certain distance away.

So, in the middle of the night, Liu Bai could only squat outside the door with Bella.

After all, while Rita and others didn't mind "sleeping together" with Liu Bai, the thought of having a emotionless dragon maid standing next to them while they slept was still a bit creepy.

With nothing else to do, Liu Bai started checking the system.

The last Himeko simulation didn't bring him any skill benefits—to be fair, apart from Himeko's terrible cooking skills, he can do almost everything Himeko can do.

However, with fewer skill rewards, the number of simulation attempts and skill point rewards will naturally increase.

All of Liu Bai's skills have reached level ten after this wave of attacks...

Liu Bai hasn't obtained a skill like "Guardian Spirit" that is linked to the spirit system behind him for a long time.

... So, it seems that the spirits behind things still need a bit of theological explanation, right?

That's one of the advantages of being a nun.

Liu Bai silently reminisced about Aponia he hadn't seen in a long time.

In addition, there are enough simulations to perform one specified simulation and multiple random simulations.

"Let's start with a random simulation."

Liu Bai shifted his gaze away from the top of [Elysia Game].

Humans are inherently somewhat gamblers.

Rolling the dice once always makes people feel good... I guess?

Liu Bai decided to try his luck before trying Elysia's simulation.

Then...

Otto's Obsession

"... Fuck you."

Looking at the name given by the system for this simulation, Liu Bai cursed inwardly.

Is this... not true?

Or is it... Oh?

No, no, no, why was Otto chosen? Does this system even know how to choose...?

Okay, Otto is a super heavyweight in this world, the system made the right choice...

But what if I just want to give up?

I regret it! I'm going to go play with the pink fat lady! I'll never be a gambler again!!!

Should we go in and beat him up, reducing the compatibility score to a negative number?

Don't even mention that failed simulations can be disregarded; even if they were... there's nothing wrong with either of Otto, right?

The system was indifferent to Liu Bai's dark thoughts and dutifully presented the data from this simulation.

[Simulation Location: Vienna]

[Simulated Host for this Event: Otto Apocalypse!]

You just mention Vienna, who knows which era Otto was from?!

Chapter 235 Something's Going Wrong!

1465, Vienna, Apocalypse Estate

"How can I make it fly...?"

By the dim candlelight, a small blond boy... or rather, a boy?

His androgynous, gentle face, coupled with his luxurious attire, was enough to make anyone who saw him for the first time wonder about his gender.

However, according to history, this boy should indeed be male.

However, at this moment, the boy was looking at the half-finished kite in front of him with a troubled expression.

"It seems the supporting framework is too heavy..."

The boy examined the "airplane" in front of him for a while, then bent down to rummage through the toolbox at his feet for tools.

"... The overall design is flawed."
