One Hundred and Eight Days in the Past
Su had already ascended to immortality, and Old Yang was entangled with Kevin. Only after eliminating these three powerful henchmen could Sirin fight so smoothly.
But now, according to Lin Yu's calculations, if Sirin dares to show her face, even if Su has lost the Void Key, she can still use Welt's Quantum Teleportation System to bring everyone to Sirin's location in no time.
The fact that Su is still looking worried clearly indicates that Sirin hasn't caused any trouble during this time.
This is illogical. She's got three cores and a Divine Key and she's still playing it safe. Is this Sirin's style of operation?
In the original story, the reason why Sirin often loses her advantage is largely because she loses her mind when she gets reckless, abandoning the mobility advantage brought by the Herrscher Authority of the Void and stubbornly insisting on fighting head-on.
Many times, if she had calmed down even a little bit, and run away when she realized something was wrong, her opponent would have at least had a much tougher fight, if not necessarily lost.
Now, a cautious Sirin has emerged, who seizes opportunities to launch surprise attacks to dig out the core, and after digging out the core, she hides away to survive.
Lin Yu felt like cursing.
But I don't know whether I should scold them at this point.
"However, Mr. Lin Yu need not worry too much."
Seeing Lin Yu remain silent, Su adjusted his expression and smiled as he spoke to Lin Yu.
"Although Kevin has not given up on the Stigmata Plan, he still stands on the opposite side of the Honkai."
"After Ms. Kiana stole the cores of Ms. Mei and Ms. Yuno, Kevin, who knew about this, has already informed the two of them through special means how to retrieve the cores."
"Recently, after the two of them calculated with the scientific research team of Schicksal that the success rate of this plan was not low, they have already begun to prepare to take action."
"Once the two of them regain the core, there's a very high chance that Kiana's Herrscher Persona, no matter how composed she is, will become restless."
"Hmm... I roughly know what they're planning to do, but I have a question."
Thinking of how Raiden Mei, before joining World Serpent, used the singularity and Honkai Energy in Changkong City to re-condense her core and return it to her body, Lin Yu, noticing something amiss, suddenly asked Su with a puzzled look.
"That's not right. In other people's eyes, our relationship should be terrible. Even if they have started cooperating with Anti-Entropy now, they would not tell you all this confidential information without reservation."
"Ah, that's certainly true."
Hearing Lin Yu's question, Su Weiwei nodded.
"Although Bishop Theresa does want to cooperate with us further, Mr. Otto's secretary, Miss Amber, strongly opposes it."
"But... knowing this information is not difficult for me."
"I left a clone at the Schicksal Headquarters, disguised as a Schicksal member."
"After leaving behind a clone, I used the clone to release mental energy fluctuations and stole that information through this method—it was not a difficult thing for me."
Hearing Su state this method so naturally, Lin Yu finally remembered...
—The man in front of me is definitely a good person, but at the same time, he is also a ruthless person who will stop at nothing to achieve his great goals.
Many people, including Lin Yu, had a very good impression of this kind doctor because of Su's actions, and thus judged Su as a 'good guy'.
However, in reality, if we consider what Su did in the original timeline...
In order to carry out the Observer Project, Su decisively imprisoned Kevin in the Sumeru Mustard Seed after Kevin began implementing the Stigmata Plan, even at the cost of exhausting all other means.
In order to select a successor he deemed suitable to entrust everything to, he did not hesitate to seize Bianca, and after Bianca expressed disbelief in him, he began his succession test with a tough attitude.
Even in this world, Lin Yu didn't get close to the River Thames, but Su still forcibly dragged him into the Sumeru Mustard Seed.
For such a ruthless person, leaving a clone to use mental power for eavesdropping would probably not be a psychological burden at all.
Fortunately, this person is an ally and is essentially a good guy. If Sue and Kevin were now on the same side, with his abilities and execution combined with Kevin's destructive power, the threat they would pose to the enemy would be more than doubled.
"However, Mei and Yuno are preparing to condense the Herrscher Core again..."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu glanced at Su subtly.
"You actually already have a plan, right?"
"Yes, there is one, but this plan isn't exactly friendly to Yuno- san and Mei- san."
Listening to Lin Yu's speech, Su calmly opened the intelligence screen.
Upon seeing the information Su presented, Lin Yu's eye twitched slightly.
Although he was not a researcher, he knew very well that such detailed data analysis could not have been done by one person alone.
Is this an analysis and summary produced by the Schicksal Research Department based on Yuno and Mei's physical data?
You can even do this... Oh, I forgot he's a psychic Fusion Warrior.
For psychic Fusion Warrior, hypnotizing ordinary people is as easy as breathing.
Damn it, thank goodness Su isn't the enemy, otherwise, with his brains and execution ability, he would have stolen all the intelligence from our hometown in an instant.
Unaware that Lin Yu, who was still maintaining a 'cold face,' was inwardly ranting, Su continued to explain his initial plan to Lin Yu based on the information he had gathered.
"According to the data analyzed by the Schicksal Headquarters, Changkong City has been in a delicate state since the Third Honkai Outbreak."
"At that time, Changkong City, which 'gave birth' to two Herrscher, should have experienced an incredibly terrifying large-scale Honkai that would have destroyed everything around it."
"However, because Mei forcibly suppressed the power of the Herrscher Core when the large-scale Honkai was about to erupt, this calamity that should have come turned into a Honkai that only destroyed the suburban area."
"While this saved millions of Changkong City residents who should have perished, it also prevented the singularity from being fully activated."
"Within the singularity that has not been fully opened, two Herrscher Candidate are simultaneously preparing to condense their cores. Success is likely, but it will probably take much longer than expected."
Listening to Su's analysis, Lin Yu immediately took over the conversation.
"You said you weren't very friendly to Mei and Yuno because you planned to use them as bait to lure Sirin, who had realized there was a problem with the core, to Changkong City, right?"
"That's right. This plan carries certain risks, and I wouldn't want to use it unless absolutely necessary."
"But now—we really don't have time."
"Mr. Otto has been lying in the shadows for almost a month. With the enemy in the dark and us in the light, he will surely take even more crazy actions for his own plans."
"At the same time, the Honkai has been almost silent for the past month, which can be seen as a sign that it is plotting something - otherwise, given its scheming methods of plotting against everyone in the Nine Nether, it should have taken action long ago after you disappeared."
Yes, Su is absolutely right.
If I were Honkai, I would definitely take advantage of the disappearance of the Constraint Herrscher defeated Kevin and hates Honkai to cause trouble.
The fact that things seem calm now means that Honkai is definitely preparing to stage a big show.
At that moment, Su, who was watching Lin Yu, saw a cold glint flash in Lin Yu's eyes.
"Mr. Su, I will handle Yuno and Mei's situation for now."
"This is, after all, a problem created by our Schicksal, so now..."
"—As a knight of the organization, I must settle things with the Herrscher created by the organization."
Chapter 260. The Past 108 Days
After Lin Yu made his decision, Lin Yu and Su briefly discussed the next steps.
Although Lin Yu did intend to act as the organization's knight to settle things with the Herrscher created and resurrected by the organization, he certainly couldn't charge in recklessly at this point.
From the moment Otto began plotting in the shadows until now, Lin Yu, who had been tricked by Otto more than once, had long since discovered one thing.
Once you go from the light to the shadows, although you lose the support of your comrades, as long as you can stay out of the enemy's sight, there are many things you can do in the dark.
For example, right now, Lin Yu that only six people know that he was rescued from the Quantum Sea Durandal.
As long as these six people don't reveal their information, Otto, Kevin, Sirin will not know about Lin Yu's return.
While Sirin's strength wasn't particularly formidable to Lin Yu, her mobility was enough to give Lin Yu a major headache.
If Lin Yu wants to catch this now cautious pufferfish, he must also be a little more careful.
According to the information Su told Lin Yu, after overhearing Kevin's message to Mei and Yuno, he immediately used the Quantum Teleportation System to come to Changkong City and placed enough surveillance drones and Honkai Energy detection equipment near the singularity of Changkong City.
As long as there is a significant change in the intensity of Honkai Energy near the singularity, or if a surveillance drone detects the presence of an enemy, he can arrive at the scene immediately to address the problem.
Of course, since the enemy is, after all Herrscher of the Void with Void Key, and given the Herrscher of the Void's mobility and the strength of having three cores within her body, even if Su could arrive at the scene in time, he might not have enough time to quickly defeat the enemy and protect the two Herrscher Candidate that have lost their cores.
So now that Lin Yu has returned, Su naturally agrees to let Lin Yu be the executor of this plan.
Lin Yu is stronger than him, and is also Herrscher of Constraint.
If a Herrscher of Constraint can manipulate and transform the Constraint Barrier could make a powerful appearance and activate the barrier when the Herrscher of the Void of the Void is about to ambush the two, then the Herrscher of the Void, whose power has been taken away by the Constraint Barrier, would be as powerless as a lamb to the slaughter in front of Lin Yu.
However, there was a small problem during the implementation of this plan.
Lin Yu is the Herrscher of Constraint, His apostle. Whenever Lin Yu makes any unusual moves, He will immediately inform the Herrscher of the Void not to act recklessly.
Therefore, in order for the plan to be implemented smoothly...
"Sigh, Mr. Lin Yu, you really are a ruthless person."
At Lin Yu's insistence, Su released his mental power, forcibly giving Lin Yu a hint to 'forget this plan', and left Lin Yu with a mental backdoor to retrieve his memories.
"However, this way, there will be no chance of anything going wrong."
"What do you mean by 'absolutely foolproof'?"
Having completely given up resistance, Lin Yu glanced at Su in a daze and suddenly realized something.
Su just hypnotized me, and I possess the Voidpower Gem Shard, which means that Su hypnotized me willingly...
Continuing to think about this will lead to trouble. I think I've come up with some plans after talking with Su, but I must forget about them immediately...
[Hey, what are you doing?]
At this moment, amidst the system's exclamation, Lin Yu unleashed a maximum-powered Phantasm Lantern Barrier directly at his own head.
"Okay, that's all..."
At this moment, Lin Yu, who was clutching his head, collapsed weakly to the ground and looked up at the ceiling of the room.
"Okay, don't talk to me. I... I need to contact Bianca first."
"... I understand. Please get some rest."
Having already sensed a fluctuation in mental energy, Su's gaze towards Lin Yu became even more strange.
Su knew this man was crazy, but every time she saw his overly radical actions, Su still felt that she had underestimated Lin Yu in every way.
Because his mind works fast enough, after Su used his mental power to make him forget the plan the two of them had discussed, Lin Yu, sensing something was wrong, immediately launched another mental attack on his own mind to prevent himself from overthinking the plan.
This kind of brain-stimulating manipulation can easily cause brain damage if not handled carefully.
People who can do this without saying a word are definitely not easy to mess with.
Su had no idea that for Lin Yu, this level of stimulation was actually not a big deal.
A few months ago, Lin Yu arrived in Changkong City to complete a mission. Just as he was chosen by the Honkai and about to be transformed into Herrscher, he forcibly interrupted his Herrscher Transformation process by forgetting his past memories and letting go of his extreme mentality.
Rather than creating a new personality to interrupt the Herrscher Transformation, for Lin Yu, simply forcing himself to forget some things and not focus his attention in that direction is just a slightly uncomfortable action.
After giving himself another hard time, Lin Yu, who was already feeling a bit disoriented, took out his communicator to contact Durandal while also thinking about other things.
He deliberately forgot some things, and in order to avoid analyzing what he had forgotten, he chose to frantically think about things he didn't need to think about at the moment, in order to distract himself.
First, let's organize our thoughts, starting from when I traveled through time...
No, this is a timeline from when I forgot my past in Changkong City until now.
The day after I forgot the past, the Third Honkai Outbreak erupted.
Between the end of the Third Honkai Outbreak and Rita's birthday, I spent about a month.
During this month, I finished off the Herrscher of Thunder and Chiyou.
On March 16th, Yuno Otto to participate in that mission, and I managed to defeat Yuno, who was corrupted by the Herrscher Persona of Death, with great difficulty, thanks to the suppression of the HSN Serum.
After the mission ended that day, I returned to Schicksal Headquarters and was forced to rest for a week before returning to the Far East Branch. I then dragged Bronya, the hard worker, to England to slack off.
After spending three days slacking off in England, Lin Yu was captured by Su and taken to the Sumeru Mustard Seed for assessment, at which point he was 'seriously injured'.
Three days later, on March 30th, after I lured out Cocolia with severe injuries and killed that scoundrel, I used Full Vitality Recovery Potion to heal Fu Hua's injuries in the training ground.
A few days later, I took Anna to the Commercial Street to soothe her heart.
The following day, I applied to conduct an experiment connecting the Blank Key and the Divine Key, and finally successfully completed the connection with the Key of Restraint.
After resting for a while, Xiao Yi came to my side. That day was the eightieth day since I arrived at the St. Freya Academy.
