She isn't a widow yet, you don't need to worry about her guarding an empty chamber!

But you also understand what I mean right now.

No time!

[You're too busy sleeping with your girlfriend! Your little brother's crying, you know that?!]

Otherwise what?

Busy with revenge, ever since I regained my memories, whenever I close my eyes, the scenes from that day keep flashing before my eyes.

[No, you're cheating by using a spirit ring skill, aren't you!]

Seriously.

Ignoring the system's subsequent angry remarks, Lin Yu glanced at Ling and gestured for her to follow him.

However, Cecilia's soul has always been sleeping inside me.

Since Rin has already obtained a physical body, then Cecilia...

—Could it be that they also used this World Bubble to win the revival match?

Approximately seven days after the Seventh Honkai Eruption. Anti-Entropy. Haiyuan City.

Inside the Haiyuan City, after their discussion, Sue and Welt displayed their plan on a light screen.

"Based on our calculations, if Mr. Lin Yu has indeed only been quantized, then his body is either trapped in a World Bubble or his physical body is in the Quantum Sea."

"Given the current situation, we'd better pray that his body is inside the World Bubble of the Quantum Sea, otherwise... there will be a big problem."

Sensing that Sue and Welt were about to explain in detail what she didn't want to know, Durandal, who was already quite impatient, spoke to the two temporary allies who were supposed to be enemies.

"You two, as you know, I don't care about these things."

"I just want to know when we can officially begin implementing the plan we agreed on."

"Seven days have passed since Lin Yu went missing. The slower the rescue goes, the greater the probability that something bad has happened to him."

"Alright, since Miss Bianca is in such a hurry, then let's get straight to the point."

After adjusting his glasses, Welt spoke to Durandal.

"We tested the Abyssal Eye a few days ago and cleared out the monsters near the entrance."

"If Miss Durandal wishes to begin the exploration of the Quantum Sea immediately, then we can reactivate the Abyssal Eye today."

"Once the Abyssal Eye opens, you, who are able to enter the Abyssal Eye, will naturally be able to enter and explore it."

Chapter 246. She's not a widow yet, so you don't need to worry about her living like a widow!

Over the next ten minutes, Durandal discussed the matter of activating the Abyssal Eye with Sue and Welt before cutting off communication with them.

After finishing her conversation with her allies, Durandal looked at Rita beside her, waiting for Rita to analyze the current situation.

Faced with Durandal's questioning gaze, Rita pondered for a moment before immediately offering her analysis to Durandal.

"Judging from the fact that Anti-Entropy is willing to tell us the coordinates of the important location 'Haiyuan City' directly, at least this time they are genuinely prepared to cooperate with us."

"However, even so, Durandal, are you really only planning to go there alone this time?"

Even if Rita is now certain that Anti-Entropy, her temporary ally, has no intention of causing trouble, the truth is, they have been enemies for so many years. Even if they start cooperating now after the appearance of World Serpent, it is impossible for them to trust each other and not stab each other in the back.

Especially now, with Otto, the Bishop of Schicksal, absent from the organization, and Lin Yu, Schicksal's strongest warrior, also missing...

Putting yourself in their shoes, if Rita were a high-ranking member of Anti-Entropy, she would very likely use this opportunity to suppress Schicksal, who has lost its leader and main fighter.

That's why, even though Rita sensed the other party's sincerity, she still didn't want Durandal to go to the realm of Anti-Entropy alone.

Lin Yu has already disappeared. If Durandal is also in trouble now, then...

Rita glanced back at Lin Yi, who was calmly handling her affairs. She didn't say much on the surface, but she couldn't help feeling worried and sad.

Since the battle between Kevin and Lin Yu seven days ago, and the day Kiana took the Void Key, Schicksal's overall combat strength has declined significantly.

The Herrscher of the Void, possessing three Herrscher Core, began a massacre of innocent people—but that didn't happen.

After Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void, awakened prematurely because of Lin Yu, she actually hid herself using the Void Key and didn't cause any trouble when Schicksal was at its weakest.

However, precisely because of this, even though the Schicksal forces had completed their assembly, they were unable to find the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin, suppress her, and bring her back to Schicksal Headquarters.

Yuno and Mei, who were injured at the time, were healed by Black Abyss White Flower, but their power declined drastically after losing their Herrscher Core.

Although the Schicksal Headquarters had already designed the God-Slaying Armor [Thunder Knight: Moonshadow] and [Plague Knight: Crescent Bud] to compensate for their declining strength as quickly as possible, compared to the God-Slaying Armor Herrscher Core...

It's probably better than nothing.

As for Lin Yu's whereabouts, according to calculations based on data transmitted from Anti-Entropy by the Schicksal Headquarters, the probability of Lin Yu appearing in the Quantum Sea is actually quite high.

Rita and Durandal, who had entered the Quantum Sea World Bubble, were somewhat relieved after learning about this.

However, while she felt a little relieved, it didn't mean Rita was no longer worried about Lin Yu.

Rita didn't see Lin Yu disappear in front of everyone.

However, judging from the expressions of Mei, Durandal, Yuno after they returned, she felt that the scene of Lin Yu's disappearance must have frightened everyone.

With a close family member missing and her companions horrified by what they saw, it would be a miracle if she could remain calm under such circumstances.

What Rita found even more troublesome was that seven days had passed since the Seventh Honkai Eruption, and Otto was still missing.

She didn't know what Otto was thinking, but from Amber's actions over this period, Rita could roughly guess some of Otto's thoughts.

During this time, Amber, one of Theresa's secretaries, tried her best to prevent the cooperation between Schicksal and Anti-Entropy.

If someone doesn't know anything about Amber, they might think that Amber and Anti-Entropy have a blood feud, which is why amber chose to refuse Anti-Entropy's help in an emergency.

However, Rita, as one of Otto's confidantes, was well aware of Amber's attitude towards Anti-Entropy, which was usually just so-so.

Anti-Entropy is the enemy of Schicksal, and Amber, faced with such an enemy, will only act in accordance with Bishop Otto's orders.

So, to put it another way, if Amber does something that's out of character for her, then it must be that Bishop Otto was behind it, instructing her to do so.

In the past, Rita wouldn't have thought much about Bishop Otto's actions.

But now, after realizing that her boss is not only not a good person, but may even not intend to seriously fight against the Honkai, Rita, as a Valkyrie fighting against the Honkai, would have something to hide.

Moreover, in Rita's eyes, Otto's current actions of using Amber to hinder the joint efforts of the two organizations, Schicksal and Anti-Entropy, are essentially preventing them from finding a way to save Lin Yu.

With this thought in mind, Rita's dissatisfaction with Otto naturally intensified.

What's more, Rita also got something else.

During these seven days, Wendy, who had regained her self-awareness after being injected with 'HSN Serum' by Lin Yu, secretly left the Schicksal Headquarters one day.

Before Wendy left, she left a letter in which she explicitly mentioned one thing: Otto, that scoundrel, had already colluded with the executives of World Serpent.

Rita, of course, handed the letter to Bishop Theresa immediately after reading it.

She herself very much wanted to keep the letter a secret, but although Wendy was not tortured by Schicksal after the defeat, her room was still full of surveillance cameras.

Rita's act of entering Wendy's room out of concern for Wendy had already been recorded by the surveillance cameras.

If she had actually chosen to conceal the existence of this letter, Rita felt that she would probably have been dealt with by Otto when Otto returned.

After obtaining the information Wendy mentioned in the letter, Rita sorted out the information she had gathered and roughly figured out what kind of actions Otto had been secretly carrying out during this period.

Fu Hua becomes the Fifth Herrscher → Otto is attacked by Herrscher Fu Hua and temporarily disappears → After Otto disappears, he secretly launches new operations → Wendy discovers that Otto and World Serpent have joined forces and Herrscher Transformation due to the stimulation of 'the Bishop's betrayal' → In order to join forces with World Serpent, Otto even handed over the Plague Gem → After Lin Yu defeats Kevin, Otto also hinders everyone's search for Lin Yu.

In Rita's eyes in the past, Otto was just a ruthless person who had no bottom line in order to fight against the Honkai.

But now, after discovering that Otto not only had no intention of fighting the Honkai, but also actively sided with the World Serpent while everyone was trying to stop the Stigmata Plan, Rita, who had pieced together this series of information, felt that her dissatisfaction with Otto had reached its peak.

If it weren't for the greater good, considering that exposing Otto's actions now would not only lack evidence but also put her side at a disadvantage due to insufficient strength, Rita would have seriously considered telling these facts to her trusted companions.

But right now... the time isn't right.

Not to mention Durandal, even Yuno and Mei have complete trust in Otto.

He usually maintains such a good public image that everyone thinks he's just a bad person, but still trying to fight against the Honkai of his principles.

But now...

"Aunt Rita."

Upon hearing Lin Yi's soft call, Rita immediately smiled, lowered her body, and approached the little girl in front of her.

"What's wrong, Xiao Yi?"

"Well, I feel that Aunt Rita is troubled by something."

Although Rita tried her best to hide her surprise, Rita knew she had given herself away after seeing the fleeting smile on the girl's face.

"I'm just a child, I don't understand what you adults are so troubled about."

"But sometimes, when faced with insurmountable difficulties, waiting is actually a good approach."

Regardless of whether this viewpoint is right or wrong, this is something a child should not say.

A'yu's child... this is really too smart.

However, this child...

At this moment, Rita, with a hint of doubt, gently stroked Lin Yi's hair and whispered to Lin Yi.

"Xiao Yi, your aunt will accept your suggestion for now."

"But you are still a child, and sometimes children can rely on adults a little."

"Yes, I know."

After nodding slightly, Lin Yi immediately added to Rita.

"However, even if children have the privilege of being spoiled, they should use this privilege according to the occasion."

"Now Kiana's Mom is missing, Yuno's Mom loves me, she is afraid to approach me because she can't let go of some of her thoughts."

"In this situation, even if I act cute or cry and make a scene, it will only make the already low morale of the entire Schicksal even more depressed."

After closing the light screen in front of her eyes, Lin Yi continued speaking to Rita, whose expression remained unchanged, and Durandal was extremely surprised.

"Dad is the strongest warrior of Schicksal, and now we are announcing to the other uncles and aunts of Schicksal that 'Knight Lin Yu is going to carry out a secret mission against the World Serpent.'"

"At a time like this, as the son of Knight Lin Yu, if I were to show any unusual emotions..."

At that moment, Lin Yi let out a long sigh that was inappropriate for someone her age.

"The uncles and aunts at Schicksal are all very capable. If I reveal even the slightest flaw, they can deduce a lot of information that we cannot disclose."

"So, as for the matter of being affectionate—we'll talk about it when Dad gets back!"

Lin Yi, who was mentioning Lin Yu at this moment, suddenly clenched her little fists in anger.

"I am also a member of Schicksal. In order to fight against the Honkai, I must also work harder and not hold everyone back!"

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Durandal looked at Rita with great confusion.

Although Durandal didn't say anything, Rita, who had known her for years, easily understood what Durandal meant.

How can this child be so smart?

That's a good question, but... who knows?

To be honest, even if someone told Rita now that Lin Yi's mental age was already that of a twenty or thirty-year-old, she would believe it without hesitation.

She was still a child who should be nestled in her parents' arms, but now, she could not only handle some relatively simple matters of Schicksal, but also pay attention to her words and actions in order to avoid exposing information when she was on the move.

To be honest, it's only because the Schicksal Headquarters is full of elites that Rita suspects most of her colleagues in the branch offices would not have the same level of vigilance as Lin Yi.

Xiao Yi, actually, is now present throughout the entire Schicksal Headquarters...

The best person isn't anyone else, it's you.

This child is only a few months old, who could it be...?

—Did they raise her to be like this?

Inside a certain World Bubble
