Lin Yu Doesn't Want to Rest

Seeing the hope in Tesla's eyes, Siegfried decisively shattered his old friend's illusions.

"Dr. Tesla, those of us in the know understand that Otto really wanted to kill me back then."

"But to outsiders, if you tell them that Otto fired fission bombs at his two strongest henchmen—even if Lin Yu and I are good friends, he won't believe it."

"Moreover, although Otto is very nice to him now, considering Otto's attitude towards me and Cecilia back then, I think Otto may have always been wary of Brother Lin Yu."

"If I reveal too much information and cause Lin Yu to show some inappropriate expressions while 'not wanting to leave Schicksal,' Otto might take action against him prematurely."

Watching Siegfried's mind race, Ryoma couldn't help but sigh, realizing that Siegfried actually valued that boy quite a bit.

Sigh, Siegfried would never normally think of these things.

He only puts in so much effort to think about certain people and things when he genuinely cares about them.

"I roughly understand the situation."

Listening to Siegfried's analysis, Welt rubbed his throbbing temples and said to the people around him.

"Now that Cocolia is dead, those radicals must have lost their composure."

"Ryoma, you'll be in charge of recruiting these people. I believe that with your skills, you should be able to get those colleagues back under our command with peace of mind."

"Tesla, go and discuss with Einstein whether the repair progress of the Moonlight Throne can be accelerated."

"The number of Titans we have left is not very large because of Cocolia's mischief."

"And once the Herrscher of the Void is resurrected... even if it is only Herrscher of the Void with a single core, it is still not to be underestimated."

"We were able to defeat her once back then because she hadn't mastered the use of her powers initially. But now, once the Herrscher of the Void is resurrected, she will definitely become humanity's most troublesome enemy, not to mention..."

Seeing the conflicted look on Siegfried's face, Welt added helplessly.

"Siegfried, you can't bring yourself to kill that child, can you?"

"Ha, you understand me best."

Siegfried leaned back in his chair, his face revealing an undeniable weariness.

"She is Herrscher, but she is also my daughter."

"I know it's strange to think this way, but... if I could, I really don't want her to get hurt."

"Yes, but that's obviously impossible."

After uttering those words with absolute certainty, Welt suddenly added to Siegfried before Siegfried's expression turned extremely ugly.

"However, if we try hard enough, we can minimize the harm to her."

"Siegfried, I was seriously injured again by that man's sneak attack back then, so I couldn't come to your aid immediately, which led to that tragedy."

"Over the years, although you have never blamed me for this, to be honest, I still feel very guilty."

"So this time, my comrade, this time, I will try my best to prevent the same tragedy from happening to you."

"While protecting humanity..."

"—You did everything in your power to protect your daughter."

World Serpent Base

Inside the World Serpent's main base, Gray Serpent looked at the intelligence report of Cocolia's death, showing not a single trace of grief for the demise of his ally.

He just felt it was a pity.

Three days ago, after Otto's men destroyed a lot of World Serpent's base and territory, World Serpent's life became even more difficult.

During this period, Gray Serpent originally intended to entice Cocolia to continue causing trouble, so that she could attract Schicksal's attention and help Gray Serpent share some of the firepower.

Moreover, as long as Cocolia lives, she will remain the leader of the Anti-Entropy radicals.

As the leader of the Anti-Entropy radical faction, Cocolia has a high probability of obtaining the coordinates of Haiyuan City.

As a result, Cocolia, as if struck by a sudden illness, chose to go and cause trouble for Lin Yu.

Gray Serpent gave a perfunctory reply to the request to send reinforcements.

But in reality, how could he possibly let Cocolia waste her remaining fighting strength?

However, what Gray Serpent didn't expect was that Cocolia actually died.

"The Quantum Teleportation System jamming device developed by those Anti-Entropy conservatives..."

After guessing the cause of Cocolia's death, Gray Serpent muttered to himself in his base, where he was all alone.

"This is a huge threat."

"Even without Cocolia handing them all the data, they were still able to develop a device to counter the Quantum Teleportation System."

"I must say, those two short PhDs are indeed geniuses."

"It's just a pity that, like that Herrscher of Reason, they are too old-fashioned, otherwise..."

Oh, Cocolia, why did you have to die?

As an ally, you've been utterly useless except for providing me with the Herrscher of Reason's DNA.

However, the current situation may still have a chance to turn around.

Cocolia was able to temporarily suppress the conservative faction of Anti-Entropy, then it means that this group is truly naive when it comes to internal strife within the organization.

Good people are easy to bully, that's a good thing.

Send a Gray Serpent to scout ahead and say you want to talk to them.

Otto is no peaceful man; he'll definitely cause trouble after he destroyed our base.

Given that the Anti-Entropy group and Otto have a long-standing feud... let's use that as leverage.

As for the Stigmata Plan, although it is an inviolable bottom line in my heart, I can pretend that 'the organization has broken through and I can no longer carry out the plan' in front of the Anti-Entropy group.

If they reach an agreement, they'll steal intelligence like crazy; if they find anything unusual, they'll just blow up the electronic brain so they can't get the information.

This is undoubtedly a poor choice.

However, even a less desirable option is better than having no options at all.

If an alliance cannot be formed, at most it will be a waste of a Gray Serpent's life.

If we can form an alliance... hey, what a lucrative business, why not do it?

Now that seeking stability is futile, since stability has failed, it's better to become a gambler and bet everything on the next round of betting.

Of course, even if the Anti-Entropy group joins forces with us, they will definitely be wary and on guard against our World Serpent.

But that doesn't matter. As long as the coordinates of Haiyuan City can be found, World Serpent still has a chance to complete the Stigmata Plan.

I didn't want things to turn out this way.

Otto, Lin Yu...

—All of this was forced upon me by you!

I'll remember this grudge!

In the future, given the chance, I will not let either of you who have ruined our grand plan get away with it!

"Never mind, let's wait and see what happens next."

Chapter 180. Lin Yu Doesn't Want to Rest

Schicksal Headquarters, Otto's Office

In Otto's office, Otto looked at the medical report submitted by the medical department and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

To an unsuspecting outsider, Otto, looking at the medical report with a sense of relief, might appear like a leader who cares about his subordinates.

And in reality—that is indeed the case.

Whatever the reason, Otto is now genuinely concerned about Lin Yu's safety.

To a certain extent, Otto's concern for Lin Yu, this 'sacrifice,' far exceeded that for K423, the 'guest of honor' at the next festival.

After all—K423 is behaving himself now, and when he goes out to fight Honkai Beast, he has someone to keep an eye on him.

The somewhat arrogant little girl from the past has actually become much more restrained because of Lin Yu's presence.

Lin Yu nowadays—not only does he love to rush around all the time, but he also has particularly bad luck.

As soon as he goes anywhere, trouble follows. His progress is fast enough, but on top of that, he always seems to encounter even stronger enemies...

Although Lin Yu's 'landmine detector' can not only detect landmines, but can even dig them out, Otto is now truly afraid.

The more Lin Yu acted, the more he realized Lin Yu's importance in his plans.

If Lin Yu were to die outside now...

Kiana will most likely go insane.

But Otto will definitely go crazy before Kiana does.

"Yes, it's good that you're alright."

"Now I'm giving you a special order—go back to the Far East Branch and rest for a month. Don't think about any other missions this time. Resting is your most important task."

Logically speaking, it should be a good thing if a boss who doesn't act like a human being makes sure you don't have to work overtime.

But the problem is—he still has things to do, and now he's suddenly confined to his home; it would be strange if he were happy about that.

Lin Yu didn't want to rest.

Right now, all he wants to do is insert the Jizo Mitama into the computers of those World Serpent bases that have been breached, and then see if he can get the intelligence to kill the Gray Serpent.

"Alright, I know you want to kill World Serpent —I want to do that too."

Seeing the defiant expression on Lin Yu's face, Otto said helplessly.

"But right now, what you need more than reckless actions is a good rest."

"This time in England, you were suddenly attacked—do you remember what happened in that attack a few hours ago?"

They've arrived.

The attack was mentioned inadvertently, which shows that even though Otto trusts me a lot, he is still subconsciously wary of everyone.

He spoke in such an indifferent tone because he didn't want others to see his unusually strong desire for the Second Divine Key.

"Hmm, I'd like to report that as well."

After Otto brought it up, Lin Yu didn't dwell on his conversation with Su, but instead tried to recall Otto's past behavior.

Then, in the next instant, Otto himself saw anger in Lin Yu's eyes... no, it was more than just anger, it was definitely killing intent.

"That squinty-eyed guy inexplicably dragged me to a place and said he was going to test me. But after I felt like I took a nap, he said I failed the test and wasn't the person he was looking for."

"I didn't understand what was going on at the time. I was in a bad mood after I was arrested, and that squinty-eyed guy beat me up."

"Although I didn't die in the end, I still think that guy—I'm sure he's not a good person!"

Wow, Lin Yu is usually quite polite to everyone except the Honkai and the enemies, but he's actually so angry this time.

His murderous intent and anger were absolutely genuine; such acting couldn't possibly convey that.

Moreover, this murderous intent, which shouldn't be directed at me, now seems to be emanating towards me...

The young man still can't control his emotions.

Sigh, you're still too young, Lin Yu.

After seeing Lin Yu's expression, Otto, although he had basically no doubts about Lin Yu, still opened his Feathered Dust as a matter of habit.

"Lin Yu, what's the thing you most want to do right now?"

"Use the Tai Xu Grip to beat that stinking dog's face badly! Slap him across the face!"

Alright, I shouldn't waste my energy.

Subconsciously, the killing intent was even more terrifying, increasing at least threefold.

I actually have some doubts about Lin Yu... Heh, whatever, it's a good attitude to be skeptical of everything.
