Come to Think of It, Otto Is Rather Pitiful / You Don't Actually Think Senior Sister Wants to Look After You, Do You?

The Jackal looked at the Raven, who remained silent but whose breathing was becoming increasingly rapid, and still smiled, "As for the antidote, only the boss has it."

This is the real coup.

Whether it was the disheveled Raven or the Jackal with a slightly seductive smile, their eyes were now filled with a gentle yet alluring gaze as they looked at Liu Bai, both appearing completely submissive.

"Ah..."

○Desire: MAX

"Hmm, Mei, what did you say?" Reanna looked at Mei with a smile befitting an elder. "You want me to lure the Alliance Leader into the room?"

"No, no, no, it's not a lie, it's an invitation."

Mei corrected him with an obedient expression.

"It's just a get-together for everyone at the orphanage, including you."

Of course, everyone knows the truth, but Mei knows that Reanna is her brother's loyal knight, so she speaks more tactfully.

As for whether Reanna can understand, Mei thinks she can.

"..." Reanna tapped the table, starting to think about the matter, "... Who was involved?"

"It's everyone in the orphanage: me, Bronya, Seele... um, maybe Aunt Cocolia too, and of course, you too."

Mei understands that those who see it all have a share in it.

"Cocolia?" Reanna stroked her chin.

She hadn't really objected to it in the first place, since Mei's reason was valid: everyone should get together, and how the girls behaved was up to them.

Now that Cocolia is here, Reanna has even less to object to.

Cocolia is also her junior, and compared to these girls who don't require her attention, Reanna cares more about Cocolia... although she was quite surprised that these girls would come to her.

As for dividing the spoils, Reanna wasn't in a hurry at all; if she were, she would have already had Otto modify her.

Thinking of this, Reanna tapped the table.

"Give me a straight answer: does Cocolia exist, or does Cocolia not?"

Chapter 552 Thinking about it carefully, Otto is actually quite pitiful.

We must bring Aunt Cocolia along...

Mei thought about it. Although she didn't know how Bronya was doing, there was nothing she couldn't do about it.

Anyway, everyone gets a share. If my brother goes to Cocolia's place, it's only natural that Cocolia.

Now, according to Reanna, it means that she will bring Cocolia along no matter what.

Minor issue.

If Bronya fails to persuade them, they can simply bring Cocolia over bound hand and foot; if they don't want to move her, they can restrain Cocolia themselves.

Hmm... Although it sounds like forcing someone into prostitution, Mei doesn't think it's a problem, since Cocolia isn't an unrelated person anyway.

"Okay, then we'll definitely bring Aunt Cocolia along."

After a brief moment of consideration, Mei readily agreed.

"You guys... never mind, take it easy." Reanna's expression turned a little strange when she saw Mei agree so decisively.

As an elderly woman who has weathered a century of storms, Reanna admits that she is somewhat out of touch with the times, but that doesn't mean she's stupid.

Mei's easy agreement might put some pressure on Cocolia... Reanna actually wanted Mei to persuade Cocolia properly.

However, there's no need to worry too much about the details in this kind of thing. After giving a hint, Reanna agreed.

"Let me know when you're all ready... but it's best to be cautious these next few days."

"Understood." Mei nodded. These past few days, the watch would likely be even tighter at night than at other times. If she acted rashly, she might get caught. "But speaking of which, the Herrscher of a Thousand..."

Mei brought up another matter.

"Will my brother find out beforehand?"

Before the Herrscher of a Thousand appeared, it wasn't difficult for everyone to collude and fool Liu Bai, but now that there's Herrscher of a Thousand...

To be honest, this number of people is about the same as the number of people previously stationed at the Schicksal Headquarters. Including the Unfading Blade, logistics, and research personnel, the total number probably didn't even reach a thousand.

Although Schicksal is powerful enough that even a thousand more cameras cannot provide complete surveillance, this group of people will not go out of their way to remote wilderness. They will simply find a corner in a crowded place and squat like an NPC. Even if they do not go to private places, it will be enough. They can control the general movements of 70% of the people, if not 90%.

Furthermore, if necessary, this group can disguise themselves as normal girls and put on a uniform. To be honest, apart from Rita Otto, who can detect the problem, everyone else would be confused.

As for the Schicksal ID card... Mei doesn't even need to think about it. Otto is already mixed up with the Herrscher of a Thousand, why would he care about such a small ID card?

"If you don't bother with her, she probably can't bother with you either." Reanna stroked her chin. "Just live your life normally. When the time comes, I'll invite the Alliance Leader. If the Alliance Leader agrees, the Herrscher of a Thousand won't do anything. They might even help you stop people after it happens. Just don't act like a thief."

You guys are always sneaking around and looking at Liu Bai with ill intentions, so you really can't blame the Herrscher of a Thousand for reporting you or even pinning you to the ground.

After all, the Herrscher of a Thousand were not Herrscher had truly reformed; they were simply forcibly pulled from the Honkai side to the Liu Bai side.

Moreover, these people are completely unbridable. Anyone with a brain could see that Otto? If Otto really dared to steal food through the Herrscher of a Thousand, the Herrscher of a Thousand could really sell Otto out, regardless of whether he was an archbishop or not!

"I see..." Mei thought it made some sense.

Thinking about it, there's no need to argue with these people. They're all family anyway, and when I become the first wife, they'll all be my good maids.

"Is there any other problem?" Reanna looked at Mei with a gentle expression.

Mei thought for a moment, looked at Reanna carefully, hesitated for a second, and then cautiously asked, "Aunt Reanna, when are you planning to make your move?"

"... Is this all you ever ask about, things related to love and romance?" Reanna paused for a moment, then sighed. "Don't worry, I'm really not in a hurry... I don't care whether it's a knight or a wife, I won't conflict with you."

After Reanna finished speaking, she tapped Mei on the head.

If I were really going to make a move, what would become of you little girls?

Reanna and Liu Bai are a typical example of people who come together for the sake of loyalty. As long as Liu Bai doesn't change his ways, Reanna will follow him to the death regardless of the circumstances or her status. If Liu Bai changes his ways and Reanna can't persuade him, no matter how close they are, they can only part ways because of loyalty. Therefore, romantic love is relatively secondary for Reanna.

Of course, from any perspective, Reanna believed that Liu Bai would not change his ways, otherwise she would not have so implicitly admitted that she had some affection for Liu Bai.

After all, even if love comes second, once you become partners, things will eventually change.

Incidentally, this is also the difference between Reanna and Sakura. If Sakura can't persuade Liu Bai to change his ways, she will still close her eyes and cover her ears to fight for Liu Bai. If Liu Bai is gone, she will not live on alone.

However, this has little to do with the depth of love. One is concerned about the world's troubles before others, while the other is willing to die to repay kindness. It's just a normal difference between caring for the greater good and caring for one's own family.

On the other hand, Reanna's current actions... are probably a case of enjoying the pleasures of others after they have already been enjoyed by the world...

Mei had been tapped on the head, smiled awkwardly. It wasn't that she liked asking gossip questions, but rather that she had been in contact with Reanna since childhood and truly knew her status in Anti-Entropy and in Liu Bai's heart.

—On par with PhDs.

That's really dangerous.

Why are there almost no people picking fights with PhDs these days?

It's very simple. This group of people have waited for Liu Bai for over sixty years for a vague and unrealistic promise, and not a single one of them has ever said they would give up.

Few people believed in immortality, and everyone knew how difficult it was to persevere. Although everyone was confident that they could achieve it, that was a different matter from actually doing it. So no one bothered to find fault, and basically everyone assumed that the group of female PhDs working on Anti-Entropy were formidable individuals.

If these people ate, they ate; if they didn't deserve it, then no one else did. So everyone just ignored them—and clearly, Reanna could be considered one of them.

Of course, Fu Hua is one of them, but there's only one reason why nobody treats her like a human being—get out of here, you brainless idiot!

Okay, this brainless girl has to take the blame, but it seems Fu Hua isn't planning to pick a fight with his junior sister.

As for Otto... come on, he probably hasn't even been active for five or six years, what's with all the fuss?

That said, Mei also knew what the biggest problem was with her family's PhDs—internal strife.

Even though no one outside is taking care of them, they've made a mess of things themselves. Mei strongly suspects that Dr. Einstein might have discovered that no one is watching them.

Yes, Mei also acknowledges Einstein's strength as a woman—primarily based on her intuition as a fellow woman.

"Uh... let's change the subject. You just mentioned going to find Otto for modifications..."

"Don't you know? I don't have reproductive organs."

Reanna tapped her lower abdomen, but of course, she didn't make a sound, since the softness of her Soul Steel skin was no different from that of real skin.

"Well, after all, I am a cyborg... Although if it's just to let the Alliance Leader vent his desires, I can just mimic one. Anyway, it's just clearing out a passage, so I still have the authority to make such small-scale changes."

Reanna stroked her chin; that's the advantage of Soul Steel.

"Is that so?" Mei raised an eyelid. This sounded really... indescribable.

Soul Steel Fiji Cup?

... Ahem, this kind of thinking is a bit disrespectful to elders.

"Well, when I was chatting with Lady Kallen before, Kallen said that my original modifications included reproductive modifications... After all, my modifications were only superficially done by AI Otto, but in reality, they were done by the real Otto."

Reanna thought about it and realized that the AI Otto, whom she disliked, was also quite pitiful. He thought he was the one in control of the game, but in reality, he was being manipulated from beginning to end.

However, the thought that Otto had created this body for her made Reanna even more unhappy... even though in the end she gave it to the same person.

"However, it seems that Otto left a lot of backdoors in my body... all of which were modifications that Otto originally planned to make after taking over my body."

And now it's all cheap for you.

Mei, who didn't have any major grudge against Otto, now genuinely feels sorry for Otto.

This is truly a top-tier minotaur...

Yes, Mei genuinely believes that Otto could never outmaneuver Reanna, especially given Reanna's strong dislike for Otto.

"Well, let's stop here then. I'll go back and get ready."

Mei felt that something must have gone wrong.

Why can Aunt Reanna deliver these inappropriate lines with such a serious expression?!

Or is it that there's something wrong with your own thinking?

No, no, no! Even if she admits that her thinking is problematic, Aunt Reanna's statement isn't entirely innocent!

"Marriage..." After Mei left, Reanna sighed, "Finally someone is urging me to get married? This feeling is really... indescribable."

I've attended quite a few weddings in my life, and I've been a godmother even more times.

But if I were to actually do it myself...

"So I can feel nervous too, huh? Maybe this is what young people call a girlish heart? Well... that's a bit of self-satisfaction..."

"Chirp... slurp..."

After cleaning his weapons, the Jackal looked up at the Raven lying listlessly on the bed.

"Raven, you're as useless as ever."

"I'd like to ask you exactly how much Honkai Energy Suppressant you added to the drug..." Raven was now too weak to even move.

"Hmm... not too many, I suppose." Jackal stood up and licked his fingers. "Let's not talk about that. How about we change our codename?"

"Ah... why bring this up?"

"I just feel that the current codenames are outdated."

"Hmm... So tell me about the new codename?"

"How about snow cakes or cream puffs?"

Raven rolled his eyes. "... Not so good, Dr. Snowcake."

"As always, tasteless, a cream puff killer."

"Yes, yes, you eat a lot, you have high taste, Dr. Snow Cake."

Chapter 553 You don't really think your senior sister wants to take care of you, do you?

"Su! Help!"

In Sue's room, Kevin shamelessly hugged Sue's leg.

"If you don't save me, I'm really going to die!"

"Oh..." Su shook her leg, and after realizing she couldn't kick Kevin away, she nonchalantly made herself a cup of coffee. "Isn't this normal for you?"
