Not even for a moment did anyone grieve for the heavily wounded Lin Yu.

Isn't this just overuse of the Phantasm Lantern Barrier?

There's only one answer left—

I already guessed what you wanted to say.

You are—

You're kidding me. Wait until I see the core inside me before you say that.

In Elysia and Su's eyes, Lin Yu had fallen into confusion because of Elysia's persuasion.

But in reality, only Lin Yu himself knew—what a load of rubbish.

His true self is his fear of death.

Having already lost his life once, Lin Yu, now resurrected, cherishes his life even more, which leads to an almost obsessive fear of death.

Lin Yu, who is more afraid of death than ordinary people, will naturally unleash an incredibly terrifying potential in his attempt to avoid death under the influence of this obsessive buff.

"Sigh, even after saying all this, I don't expect you to change right now."

Gazing at Lin Yu's face, Elysia suddenly moved closer to Lin Yu again and whispered in his ear.

"However, I hope to see more smiles on your face next time we meet, okay?"

"... Yes, I've received that wish."

Actually, after hearing Lin Yu's somewhat heavy words, Elysia really wanted to say something more.

Unfortunately, her time has come.

Elysia's sudden appearance this time was mainly due to three factors.

The Flawless Key scattered among humanity, the illusion created by Su Di, and the Phantasm Lantern Barrier on Lin Yu's body that can rewrite reality to a certain extent when the power is sufficient.

With these three elements gathered, the Flawless Key attached to Lin Yu was able to use these powers to allow Elysia to appear before her comrades.

However, there were too many fragments scattered from the Flawless Key, which meant that Elysia could only come out in this state to talk to everyone, and could not maintain her body in this world for too long.

After watching the fairy fan wave at him and then disappear from his sight again, Lin Yu immediately turned his gaze to Su.

In Su's view, Elysia's words only had a slight effect.

After Elysia left, Lin Yu's eyes clearly switched to work mode.

"Mr. Su, I will now explain my plan. Please take a look and see if there is anything that needs to be added."

"I understand, Mr. Lin Yu, please go on."

Three minutes later, after listening to Lin Yu's current plan, Su's expression became a little awkward.

"I have no problem with the other plans, but Mr. Lin Yu..."

"Is the clause that Lin Yu must be severely injured by Soda a bit unnecessary?"

"What you're saying? I don't think you've ever read Honkai Three Kingdoms Chronicle."

At this moment, Lin Yu completed the [Zero Knight. Moon Shadow] outfit and put the energy armor on himself.

"According to the records of Honkai Three Kingdoms Chronicle, there was a local military commander named Zhou Yu in ancient Shenzhou. He and one of his subordinates devised a plan... In short, it was to make Otto believe that I had not betrayed him, so that I and you must be enemies."

"Nothing is more convincing evidence than 'Su beat Lin Yu', and as long as our relationship with the outside world is very bad, or as long as my relationship with you is bad on one side, Otto will not suspect that I have been in contact with you."

"Once you leave, Otto will definitely be wary of you, a forward who has brains, intelligence, and the ability to control the Void Key."

"And in this situation, his attention will keep decreasing, and then..."

"My chances of successfully betraying him in the future are much higher."

"I see."

Seeing Lin Yu already rushing up, Su said helplessly.

"Then, Mr. Lin Yu, I apologize for any offense."

"Who offended whom is still unknown. After all, I'm now seriously considering giving it a try..."

"—Can my fist break through your Karma Wheel?"

Chapter 174, Not even a moment of sorrow for the seriously injured Lin Yu.

World Serpent Headquarters

After informing Su that Lin Yu might become the Herrscher of Constraint, Gray Serpent immediately began monitoring Lin Yu.

Fortunately, after arriving in England, Lin Yu did not frantically search for information about the Second Divine Key as he had expected.

Upon arriving in England, Lin Yu irresponsibly dumped all his work on Cocolia's adopted daughter.

As for himself—he usually slacks off, either wandering around aimlessly or having picnics with junk food.

At first, Gray Serpent thought that Lin Yu's actions were meant to lull any potential enemies into a false sense of security.

But after three days, Gray Serpent realized he was overthinking things.

Aside from staying away from the River Thames, the other party's main focus is on slacking off and enjoying themselves.

To say that he was on guard against his surroundings... to be honest, Gray Serpent didn't think Lin Yu would waste his time acting with enemies who might not even exist.

I used to think he was some kind of monster, but now it seems he's surprisingly normal.

That's right. No matter how strong Lin Yu is, he's still human, and humans get tired.

After the Fourth Honkai Outbreak ended, it's unlikely that Fifth Honkai Outbreak will break out anytime soon.

In this situation, it's quite normal for him to relax a little.

Ha, I used to think this guy was Otto's most fearsome hound, but it turns out...

This hunting dog isn't very obedient.

Very good, very good.

Although we will definitely kill you in the future, we'll let you live a little longer for now since you're not actively searching for the location of the Void Key.

As for Bronya, although she is quite skilled in electronic warfare, no matter how strong her electronic warfare abilities are, she cannot detect the location of the Void Key.

To locate the Void Key, Otto himself must pinpoint a region and then dispatch the Divine Machine to conduct a long-term search using detection systems. Only then could they possibly detect the Void Key's location through minute spatial differences.

However, they are unlikely to discover the Void Key now. If we act rashly at this time, we will only expose our weaknesses.

As for Su... Hmph, although this traitor betrayed the Venerable Lord, he locked himself in that World Bubble for the next fifteen hundred years.

It is true that he betrayed the Venerable Lord, but his feelings for the Venerable Lord were by no means fake.

Because of his deep sense of guilt, Su began to punish himself, and even when he caused such a huge commotion during the Second Honkai Eruption, he was unable to help humanity.

Therefore, under these circumstances, he probably wouldn't take the initiative to contact Lin Yu.

Everything is moving in the right direction. Next, if we train those two sisters to be strong enough, then...

"Gray Serpent, something terrible has happened!"

At this moment, Jackal, who was looking at the research report inside the organization, suddenly shouted loudly at the administrator, Gray Serpent.

"Something terrible has happened!"

"What's wrong, Jackal?"

Upon hearing the Jackal's howl, the Gray Serpent instinctively felt a sense of terror.

As a cyborg, no matter how terrified Gray Serpent was, it couldn't show it too obviously.

Moreover, there are only so many capable people left in the organization, and it's considered the senior member, so it has to hold the fort.

Gray Serpent must now appear calm and composed, so that the young Jackal, who is already half-dead with fear, will feel at ease in his presence...

"According to the report from England intelligence personnel, they discovered that Lin Yu suddenly disappeared on his way back to the hotel!"

What?

"The intelligence personnel have confirmed it ten times and are now certain that Lin Yu has indeed vanished into thin air!"

At this moment, the Jackal, looking at the intelligence report, spoke to the Gray Serpent with extreme tension.

"Could it be that Schicksal has also mastered the Quantum Teleportation System?"

"In that case, we'll lose our advantage in this area!"

"If that's the case, then that's good."

After retrieving the video uploaded by the intelligence personnel from the database, Gray Serpent saw Lin Yu's actions before he disappeared.

In the video, Lin Yu didn't seem to have been teleported to any area by friendly forces; he appeared to have made prior preparations.

On the contrary, the way he kept struggling made it seem as if he had been suddenly attacked by someone.

Considering there was no one else around, Lin Yu suddenly started struggling, and then he lost all this information...

Dry!

Su took the initiative to approach Lin Yu?

Based on Gray Serpent's understanding of Su, the probability of him suddenly having nothing better to do than to launch a mental attack on someone is practically zero.

This person is such a nice guy, how could he do such a thing?

Therefore, Gray Serpent thought of a situation he didn't want to see, but was very likely to see.

Su, you traitor, you're not going to side with Lin Yu, are you?!

After this conjecture came to mind, Gray Serpent surprisingly felt an emotion called 'despair' arise within him, a feeling that was quite rare.

Although saying this might boost others' morale and diminish one's own, Su's strength is so great that he can single-handedly annihilate all of World Serpent's combat power.

So now, even if Gray Serpent were to turn against Su without considering the consequences, he wouldn't even be able to hit the other side, so what's the point of talking about it?

He had no means to stop Sue from doing things harmful to the World Serpent, as for the puppet that Venerable Lord Kevin placed outside the Void Key...

This puppet only possesses one percent of the Venerable Lord's power.

If Su wanted to cause trouble, could a puppet stop her?

Damn it, a traitor is always a traitor.

You betrayed our Venerable Lord back then, and this time, you've once again chosen to stand against us...

I shouldn't have relied on him in the first place.

We must speed things up and get Cocolia to reveal the coordinates.

Nothing matters anymore; it doesn't matter what that little girl named Wendy is thinking.

Let's take one last gamble. Once we have the coordinates of Haiyuan City, we'll just throw that little girl into the Abyssal Eye.

With the Venerable Lord's great power, as long as he is given even the slightest opportunity, the probability of him leaving the pass is one hundred percent.

And after the Venerable Lord emerged from seclusion...

—You traitors and idiots, you all must die!

Approximately two and a half hours after Lin Yu's disappearance, the Schicksal Headquarters...

In the past few days, Otto had been having his intelligence personnel keep an eye on Lin Yu's movements.

To be honest, Otto is now basically at ease with Lin Yu. He sent someone to check on him mainly to see if Lin Yu's vigilance had decreased and whether he was heeding Otto's previous advice.

According to the intelligence reports sent by the intelligence department in the past few days, Lin Yu has not done anything at all, and has been mainly taking a break and enjoying himself.

Otto was naturally... regarding Lin Yu's performance.

— Thumbs up!

He sent Lin Yu to England with the intention of letting Lin Yu rest while using Bronya to Cocolia out and obtain some of her technology.

And now, Lin Yu is actually slacking off on his own initiative, which is fantastic news!

At this point, Otto no longer expects Lin Yu to give him anything.
