The Constraint Herrscher, surely won't descend this fast (cont.)

Why is this guy still spacing out?!

I suspect that he really didn't listen to a word I said before.

"Of course, all of them."

At this moment, Lin Yu, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly closed his eyes and completely relaxed his body.

"Do you need me to recite the whole text, Squad Class President Fu Hua?"

"No need."

After seeing Lin Yu's completely relaxed body, Fu Hua, who had calmed down completely, could only helplessly say to Lin Yu.

"I know this is an emergency, but can't you wait for reinforcements?"

"If it weren't for Yuno's strong will, by the time Durandal arrived, you might already be..."

"Ah, let me just say something."

Hearing the helplessness and annoyance in Fu Hua's words, Lin Yu emphasized very seriously.

"I'm afraid of death, very afraid of death, extremely afraid of death."

"I'm just judging that Yuno's contact with the Herrscher Core might lead to more serious consequences and threaten my life more seriously."

"This is truly what I feel in my heart."

Theoretically speaking, Lin Yu's words don't seem to have any major problems.

If we can prevent Yuno touching the Tranquility Gem and interrupt the outbreak of the Fourth Honkai Outbreak, then many problems will be solved.

However, this matter seems to offer great benefits if it succeeds, but Fu Hua will not overlook one thing because of this.

If this gamble pays off, it'll be a huge win, but if it fails, Lin Yu could very well be the first to die.

Is risking one's life something only a coward would do?

To avoid worrying everyone, he kept pretending to be someone who was afraid of dying.

The problem is—when you're pretending, try to be a little more serious!

"Oh, I see."

After listening to Lin Yu's speech, Fu Hua nodded slightly, her face filled with a strange smile.

"Knowing that there are people from Anti-Entropy in Changkong City, you still applied for a mission there."

"Knowing how terrifying the Herrscher of Thunder is, you still rushed towards Mei."

"Knowing how ferocious Chiyou is, you still went to kill Chiyou."

"Knowing that you would most likely be the first to die if the Fourth Honkai Outbreak broke out, you still chose to help Yuno."

"To know what a person is thinking, look at what he does, not what he says."

"So now, I have a question— Lin Yu, in your eyes, are we a bunch of fools who are easy to fool?"

Faced with Fu Hua's question, Lin Yu really wanted to say—yes, that's exactly it.

Damn it, damn it, I'm telling the truth!

Aside from Changkong City, where I have no other choice, if I don't go check on Mei's situation and seize the opportunity to finish her off, I'll be the first to die when the Herrscher of Thunder catches up.

Siegfried was still online at the time. The choice between finishing off the enemy when allies had just dealt them a heavy blow or at some other time was a question that anyone would know the answer to, right?

The last two things were even more outrageous.

Danger is right in front of me, so I should definitely try to resolve the crisis rather than let the crisis resolve me!

I'll die if I don't sort these things out—where did this huge misunderstanding come from?

In the past, Lin Yu would occasionally play the role of a vengeful ghost.

Now, he's too lazy to act anymore, but everyone thinks he's acting now.

What kind of dark humor is this?

Seeing that Lin Yu had stopped speaking, Fu Hua naturally felt that Lin Yu had been rendered speechless by her words.

Lin Yu may have better eloquence than Fu Hua, but in the face of facts, his rhetoric is useless.

"Let's not talk about this anymore."

Hmm, they're starting to use this clumsy method to change the subject.

"I have a question—where are the others?"

That's enough, that's enough.

I've said everything I needed to say. All I can do now is try harder.

"Ah, I'm here."

After hearing someone mention her name outside, Xiola, who was slacking off in her dorm room, appeared in front of Lin Yu as quickly as possible.

"Lin Yu, did you need something from me?"

Seeing the Raven's incredibly cooperative attitude, Lin Yu finally understood what it meant to be a wise person who knows when to yield.

The Raven of today truly embody the principle of "if you can't beat them, join them" in their every action.

This may seem ordinary, but it actively expresses an attitude of obedience.

And then there's that camisole that's being deliberately or unintentionally exposed—ah, what is she doing?

Hehehe, do you even need to ask?

Since you hold her life and death in your hands, she will definitely do everything in her power to please you.

Compared to things like providing intelligence or helping in fights, becoming your bedmate is clearly another path in her eyes.

... Truly worthy of being called the Queen of Mercenaries in this world, the mercenary attributes of 'shamelessness' and 'everything for oneself' are perfectly embodied in her.

But I'm curious, since she thinks that way, then...

Oh, it's an introduction template, right?

Name: Natasha Xiola

[Identity: King of North American Mercenaries, former executive of World Serpent.]

[Current favorability: 5.]

[Note: She certainly doesn't like you for ruining her life, but she has no choice but to obey you. Don't overthink it.]

That's so realistic!

Aside from Yuno Herrscher mode having a -affinity rating, her affinity rating is already the lowest among all characters.

Oh, by the way, four out of these five points are due to the enhanced appearance of Cold-Faced Hunk.

Is the actual level of affection only 1?

It's more accurate to say that the fact that there's even a 1 is truly a miracle.

[Hehehe, now, as long as you have this thought, or even just show any inclination towards it, she will absolutely put in 120% effort to serve you in order to survive.]

Um, I remember I just said that a week ago.

Have you forgotten how terrifying the Kaslana clan's intuition is?

Kaslana's intuition, combined with Kiana's current level of affection for me, tells her that if I make any rash moves, Sirin will appear right in front of me.

When the time comes, Sirin will be the first to kill me. You really want me to die fast enough, don't you?

Don't be like that. Actually, you don't know, but her ability to accept things is much stronger than you think.

I don't gamble.

Don't ask, the answer is I don't gamble.

"Commander Lin Yu, to be honest, I've already said everything I needed to say."

Feeling a thorn in her side, Xiola began to regret her outfit for the day.

She does have those thoughts, but she hasn't made up her mind to take action yet.

Now, she completely regrets it.

After she appeared before Lin Yu in this outfit that revealed some things, Fu Hua behind her kept staring at her with an unfriendly gaze.

Because Lin Yu's killing intent towards Honkai and World Serpent was too strong, Raven, who was always thinking about getting along well with Lin Yu, would often subconsciously overlook one thing.

Fu Hua also has her detonation switch.

The current Xiola no longer dares to have such thoughts.

Damn it, this warrior from the Previous Era has lived for fifty thousand years, why is she still as jealous as a vinegar jar?

Okay, Lin Yu is indeed very handsome.

But this is still outrageous!

That look in your eyes is really scary!

"Oh, I believe you—but I still hope you'll repeat the address of the World Serpent Base that you know."

Completely oblivious to Fu Hua's sudden change in expression, Lin Yu smiled and spoke to Xiola.

"This shouldn't be too difficult."

"Of course, of course!"

Besides, Lin Yu is completely impervious to reason!

He definitely noticed my outfit, but he didn't show any interest in that area at all!

Damn it, in my attempt to survive, have I put myself in a life-or-death situation?

Moreover, Lin Yu has already been promoted to S-rank Knight, and he should have had the authority to see the information I handed over to the Schicksal Headquarters.

He then came to ask me, which means that Otto Apocalypse actually had some information hidden from Lin Yu?

That shouldn't be the case. Isn't Lin Yu one of Otto's strongest henchmen?

I have a feeling that something is not right. The network of relationships on Schicksal's side is much more complicated than I imagined.

The Raven had just picked up a pen and paper and was writing furiously, was now filled with regret.

I was so stupid.

I shouldn't have gone back after leaving the World Serpent.

Making coffee during the day and carrying out assassinations at night, even if it doesn't earn much money, is still much better than being caught up in this miserable situation.

There are tons of dangerous missions on the World Serpent side.

I don't have a chance to go on missions Schicksal, but there are no dangerous missions for me here, but there are many dangerous people!

After writing down those addresses, Raven immediately adjusted his expression, not daring to make any further unnecessary expressions or movements.

Behind Raven, Fu Hua, watching Lin Yu put away the paper, felt her blood pressure rise a little bit again.

"Lin Yu... don't you want to take a break?"

"Huh? My mission this time wasn't troublesome at all; it was practically a vacation."

Seeing the bulging veins on Fu Hua's head, Lin Yu suddenly laughed happily.

"The investigation mission doesn't involve fighting, sigh, finally I can happily slack off."

Even though Lin Yu's smile seemed so genuine, Fu Hua just felt that his words were insincere.

"Brother Lin Yu, if possible, Bronya doesn't want you to go on missions with this kind of mentality."

After hearing the commotion outside, Bronya, who had already packed her luggage, slid out of the room on her electric suitcase.

"You are now the strongest warrior of Schicksal. In other words, you are the person who is most likely to be targeted, apart from Bishop Otto."

"Bronya doesn't know exactly what happened when you met Yuno, but Bronya is certain that you don't have the power to defeat Herrscher."

"Furthermore, if you're not wearing the [Zero Knight: Moon Shadow] armor, your defense will drop significantly. If you encounter an assassination squad at this time..."

After thinking of certain scoundrels who caused the Honkai, created the Honkai, are preparing to create the Honkai, and will carry out a massacre in the future, Lin Yu suppressed the smile on his face.

"In any case, I am now one of the strongest forces in Schicksal's open forces."

"Anyone who dares to touch me is a lackey of the Honkai —and I will show absolutely no mercy to the Honkai of the Honkai."
