A Person in Honkai, This Narration Is Not Right / Honkai Scroll Dog Dao Chapter 21

Based on Lin Yu's guess, the other survival crisis was likely Otto realizing he wasn't keeping a close enough eye on K423. This would make Otto suspect Lin Yu wasn't taking his job seriously, leading to Otto developing murderous intent towards him.

Otto wouldn't directly kill useful employees.

However, Lin Yu didn't believe Otto would be so merciful towards someone useless, especially if they faltered at a critical moment.

At a critical moment, Otto could shoot his old friend Fu Hua in the head, or feed his granddaughter Theresa to the Herrscher of the Void as nourishment for "love" to help her awaken.

If he could do such things to those close to him, Lin Yu figured that if he messed up in Changkong City, he'd be riddled with eighteen bullets and declared a suicide shortly after returning to Schicksal.

Therefore, only after confirming Raiden Mei was temporarily safe did he immediately set off to do something else – find Kiana.

Then again, Mei wouldn't awaken as a Herrscher for now.

"System, where's my reward for overcoming the crisis?"

[When did you get the delusion that you've overcome the survival crisis?]

"Eh, wait a minute?"

"The system panel isn't wrong, is it?"

[It's not wrong. She won't awaken for now – isn't that clear enough?]

"...Damn it."

"So you're saying Changkong City is still going to blow up, forcing me to run around in two directions, right?"

[Figure it out yourself. This system has done all it can.]

To be fair, that's true.

I tell others to be independent, yet I'm still relying on the system to solve everything. How shameless.

Sigh, weren't these two brats always sticking together in the original story?

Why has it turned out like this?

As Lin Yu sped forward, his phone suddenly rang in his pocket.

"...An unknown number?"

After answering the call, before Lin Yu could speak, a voice entered his ears.

"A'yu, how's your situation? Is anyone bothering you?"

"Rita?"

"Not for now."

After a pause, Lin Yu added a word.

"Sister."

"Then you need to be careful."

"Someone is unhappy with the Anti-Entropy Executor Cocolia's actions and intends to interfere. However, that man is not our companion, so if you encounter a white-haired, one-armed man – run immediately!"

"White-haired... one-armed?"

These descriptions... no, wait.

Siegfried was in the original story, is he in Changkong City at this time?

"Yes, the former head of the Kaslana family, Siegfried Kaslana, has appeared in Changkong City with a Divine Key."

"Oh, right. We saw through the surveillance system that you and K423 are a few kilometers apart. Why is she a few kilometers ahead of you?"

"Why are you splitting up?"

"Is she upset with you?"

K423 is just a few kilometers in front of me?!

Nice!

Just as Lin Yu was about to accelerate, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

This sense of crisis was so strong that Lin Yu subconsciously entered the state of Mirror Mind without even realizing it.

This feeling...!

In the next instant, Lin Yu jumped directly off his motorcycle and used it as a springboard to leap onto the nearby ground.

And just as he completed the action...

"Boom!"

The motorcycle he had just been riding was hit by something, exploding right before his eyes.

Chapter 33: Are You Out of Your Mind?

On the other end of the terminal, Rita, hearing the explosion from Lin Yu's side, immediately asked him nervously.

"A'yu, your side—"

"Oh, sis, it's fine."

Lin Yu looked at the figure that appeared before him and said softly to Rita.

"I had a little car accident over here, the car exploded, but I'm fine."

"Then I'm off to chase that cute little thing. Remember to cheer me on."

"Wait—"

Before Rita could finish her sentence, Lin Yu on the other end cut off the communication.

Although Lin Yu didn't say it directly, how could Rita not know that Lin Yu must have encountered an enemy?

Rita knew Lin Yu's strength.

If he were to beat up ordinary people, it wouldn't be a problem for him, who had undergone training, to bully them.

But the enemy he encountered over there... If it were just ordinary thugs, Lin Yu wouldn't have had to hang up the phone.

"Lady Rita."

At this moment, an intelligence department member responsible for tracking K423 and Lin Yu's movements looked at the electronic device in front of him, a trace of nervousness appearing on his face.

"Our electronic equipment was just invaded by Anti-Entropy again."

"So our intelligence..."

"And because of this, we can't continue tracking Lin Yu and K423's location. All we can confirm now is that he and Raiden Mei have separated."

"Ah, it's not your fault."

Seeing the nervousness on her colleagues' faces, Rita suppressed the anxiety in her heart and resumed her usual polite demeanor.

"Everyone did their best. There's nothing we can do about this kind of thing."

"Archbishop Otto is very magnanimous, so don't worry too much about these matters."

Seeing the expressions on their faces relax a little, Rita forced herself to calm down.

She really wanted to comfort herself with the thought that 'the Third Honkai Outbreak is on the verge of erupting, and Anti-Entropy doesn't have time to deal with Lin Yu.'

But now, Lin Yu had already been ambushed, which meant that the people from Anti-Entropy had definitely set their sights on him.

A'yu, you absolutely must not go head-to-head at a time like this.

Sigh, back then...

Why did you suddenly decide to recommend yourself to participate in this dangerous mission?

At this moment, on the street, Lin Yu looked at the man who appeared before him and felt a headache coming on.

The plot of the "Escape from Changkong" chapter wasn't explained in detail at the time.

So it's normal for many details to be filled in with strange people and events for various reasons...

Lin Yu wanted to tell himself this, but recalling what was happening now, he felt he was too naive.

In the "Escape from Changkong" chapter, other members of the Schicksal Council demanded that an S-rank Valkyrie be dispatched.

Then she was stopped by Theresa, the Far East Branch Director, who wasn't even in Changkong City at the time. As a result, Theresa said not to panic, that there was A-rank Valkyrie Mutated Himeko and the Hyperion over there, and she had a trump card in her hand.

So, according to the original plot, Rita wouldn't have appeared here at all.

I actually thought of using the original plot as a reference... How foolish.

"Yo, little brother, I have something I want to ask you."

On the street, a short distance from Lin Yu, a handsome, middle-aged, one-armed, white-haired man raised the pistol in his hand, which looked uniquely beautiful, and aimed it at Lin Yu's body.

"At your age, what are you doing lurking around a young girl late at night?"

"Nonsense, I'm her senior."

Lin Yu, who had entered the Mirror Mind state, could feel the pressure from the other party.

I have to admit, even though Siegfried's body is weak from overusing the Hyper-Evolution Factor, he's lost an arm, and lost the second core of his liberated weapon, his strength is probably less than one-thousandth of his peak...

—Even with Old Yang at low health, Kevin being useless, and Su peeking, even with several debuffs, Siegfried is still one of the strongest in history.

Not to mention he's holding a Divine Key. If Siegfried were serious, he'd be terrifyingly strong even bare-handed.

"The senior found out his junior was skipping class and wandering around late at night, and he's going to catch her to make sure she goes to school obediently tomorrow. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Oh, well said."

The man nodded seemingly satisfied after hearing Lin Yu's answer.

"But I'm still going to beat you up, kid."

"I'm her father. You're tailing my daughter, I can't stand for that."

Seeing Lin Yu's tense body, Siegfried stretched his shoulders and put away the Flame-Chaser's Judgment.

"Forget it, I can't be bothered to argue with you about these trivial matters anymore."

In the next instant, a look of helplessness appeared on Siegfried's face.

"Young man, you're from Schicksal, aren't you?"

"...You know all this already, and you're still here wasting my time?"

Good, no killing intent.

It seems he's not serious yet.

"Of course, as an old senior of Schicksal, I don't think all my dear juniors are bad people."

At this moment, Siegfried, who was watching Lin Yu, said earnestly to him.

"But, young man, your direct superior Otto is really not a good person."

"Following his orders is truly not a good thing."

"If you're interested, you can leave Schicksal and join Anti-Entropy. At least Anti-Entropy..."

Siegfried trailed off here, unable to continue.

Originally, persuading a naive young man to rebel against an organization had a low success rate, but at least there was a possibility.

However, after thinking about Cocolia's actions, Siegfried realized something awkward.

Before he could convince his opponent, he couldn't convince himself.

"Oh, I know the Archbishop isn't a good person—in fact, most of Schicksal's top brass know that too."

Lin Yu continued, looking at the suddenly silent Siegfried.

"But the problem is, even though the Archbishop isn't a good person, the orders he issues while leading Schicksal are, at least for the most part, fine."

"He's at most a bad person, and now you're telling me—'Hey kid, give up on that bad guy and join Anti-Entropy with me.'"

"Anti-Entropy is already preparing to directly trigger a large-scale Honkai. Are you suggesting I abandon an organization that protects the world to join one that's preparing to cause destruction?"
