Senior Brother, Are You Married?

"Is this Anti-Entropy?"

"To be precise, this is Haiyuan City."

No sooner had Rita finished speaking than a figure appeared in front of the two of them.

As Rita, who had been brought here by Lin Yu, saw the man named Su appear here with a calm expression, she suddenly seemed to think of many things.

Then, with a complicated expression, she looked at Lin Yu her and complained helplessly to him.

"A'yu, you and Mr. Su actually have a very good relationship, right?"

How many more things are you hiding from me?

"Well, how should I put it—sister, you should understand that once Otto realizes something, he won't let you off the hook."

The moment he uttered those words, Lin Yu, with his palms clasped together, looked at Rita with a face full of guilt.

"I really didn't mean it, please forgive me this time."

"Is it really only once?"

"... There will definitely be many more 'ones' in the future."

Listening to Lin Yu's speech, Rita really didn't know whether she should be sad because her brother had kept so many things from her, or happy that she had such a smart and capable brother.

Perhaps, while I was still lying in my hospital bed, A'yu had already arranged everything meticulously.

"Mr. Lin Yu, congratulations on solving the problems that Ms. Kiana faced."

"Ah, let's skip the small talk. I don't think we need to waste time on this nonsense. Anyway..."

After explaining his thoughts to Su, Lin Yu said to Su.

"Although I can complete the general steps of these plans, the only thing I find difficult to do is create 'Uncle' and 'Aunt'."

"But I think this is a small matter for Mr. Su."

"That's natural."

After saying that, the three of them used the coordinates given by Rita to arrive at Kolosten.

Over the next few hours, Rita, having reassured her parents somewhat upon seeing her, made up a reason and had them leave with her.

Meanwhile, after meeting Rita's parents, Sue thought for a moment and then used his power to create clones that looked exactly like Rita's parents.

The main reason Lin Yu asked Su to do this was because in the inheritance chapter of the original work, Su casually created a clone that looked exactly like Durandal.

According to Sue's explanation of her abilities at the time, that substitute possessed the exact same memories as Durandal.

This stand-in, almost identical to Durandal, only lacks the power Durandal obtained from the Quantum Sea —that's what Su himself said.

Although Su's actions afterward were intended to 'test' Durandal, Lin Yu thought the probability of Su creating a mere goose-level powerhouse was extremely high. However, Su himself could at least create one or two indistinguishable ordinary human clones.

With Su's strength, creating a pair of energy clones containing Rita's parents' memories to fool Kolosten would not be difficult for him.

Of course, both Lin Yu and Su were well aware that this was an action taken by Lin Yu out of personal motives.

However, Su felt even more at ease with Lin Yu he took this action.

In Su's eyes, Lin Yu was just a seventeen-year-old boy. It's only natural for a seventeen-year-old boy to have selfish motives and want to save his sworn sister's parents.

It is precisely because Lin Yu still possesses this 'human nature' that Su doesn't need to worry that he will become the kind of person who would stop at nothing to destroy the Honkai.

I had some concerns before, but now it seems that even though Mr. Lin Yu has become the Herrscher of Constraint, his original intention has not changed much.

Sigh, only in this way can I continue to assist him in his operations with peace of mind.

Kevin, I've sent you the compiled intelligence.

After reading this intelligence...

—I hope that you will stop being so fixated on the Stigmata Plan.

That night, at the Schicksal Headquarters

After discovering that Lin Yu had not returned home all night, Bronya, who had intended to contact Lin Yu, immediately contacted Mei and Yuno were still at headquarters.

After the two entered her room at headquarters, Bronya looked at the two puzzled people and asked them a question.

"Mei- neechan, Yuno- neechan, you didn't tell anyone else about what happened tonight, did you?"

"Of course not."

"I definitely won't tell."

After getting the answer she wanted from the two of them, Bronya showed a relieved expression.

However, the two who had given their answers were still somewhat puzzled by the girl's expression.

"Bronya, is it really just the three of us today?"

"Yes, what happened today is only for the three of us to know."

Looking at Yuno seemed lost in thought, and Mei, who looked slightly puzzled, Bronya said helplessly to the two of them.

"Sister Kiana is related to what I'm going to talk about today, but she's not in a good state right now and is definitely not suitable for being stimulated again."

"Instead of putting too much pressure on her by bringing her into this now, it would be better to let Xiao Yi continue to soothe her emotions."

"And Anna, to be honest, she has had too little contact with us."

"I don't think Anna is a bad person, but we've only known each other for less than a month. Anna, who has unwavering faith in Schicksal, might do something inappropriate after hearing what we've said."

Faced with Bronya's opening remarks, Mei and Yuno remained silent, gesturing with their eyes for Bronya to continue.

"As for Acting Bishop Theresa and Major Himeko, they are not suitable to listen either."

"I've hacked all the surveillance systems in this area. Now that I've organized all this intelligence, I can finally tell you all about it."

"Let me tell you something first— Yuno -neechan and Mei- neechan, do you know how the Second Honkai Eruption ended?"

"The Second Honkai Eruption?"

Upon hearing this rarely heard term, Mei immediately and naturally said it.

"Didn't the database say that Kiana's Mom, Cecilia, was with the Herrscher of the Void at the time..."

Mei suddenly froze halfway through her sentence.

Then, as if she had realized something, her face immediately turned extremely ugly.

"Yes, the Herrscher of the Void."

After emphasizing the title of Herrscher, Bronya's expression remained unchanged, but both of them could sense the solemnity in the girl's tone.

"According to the records in the Schicksal Database, she should have been killed by the Honkai Energy Fission Bomb in the great battle fourteen years ago because of Lady Cecilia's selfless act."

"But now, the Herrscher of the Void has reappeared, and the original body is Sister Kiana."

"In addition, Bronya saw records in the Anti-Entropy database that were completely different from those in the Schicksal database."

"In Anti-Entropy's database, it is clearly recorded that the Second Honkai Eruption was a major event that was resolved by Schicksal and Anti-Entropy working together."

"During this process, Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla, the executors of Anti-Entropy, were piloting special mechs when they extracted a 'fragment' from Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void."

After noticing Bronya looking at her, Mei immediately understood what the other woman meant.

"This so-called fragment is the Gem of Conquest within me, right?"

"Well, actually, the Gem of Conquest inside you, Mei- nee, is enough to prove that the information in the Anti-Entropy database is not entirely false."

"During these twenty days, I didn't have the same strength as Mei and Yuno, so I put some effort into gathering intelligence."

"After hacking into some data in the Schicksal database, I discovered some things that other Schicksal members absolutely cannot know."

After bringing up some topics that were impossible to ignore, Bronya spoke to the two of them with utmost seriousness.

"Mei, you are not only Valkyrie of the Far East Branch, but also the daughter of Herrscher and Anti-Entropy executor. I think you must have sensed that someone has been watching you in the shadows during this time, right?"

"Hmm, now that you mention it... it's true."

Mei, reminded by Bronya, suddenly realized something.

"You're also a member of Anti-Entropy, Bronya. Does that mean you're being monitored from above?"

"Yes, that's right, and to be honest, their judgment is correct, after all, I did hack into Schicksal's database."

"However, because the two of us are related to Anti-Entropy, our sense of belonging to Schicksal is not actually that strong."

"But I am different from you."

Hearing Bronya's words, Yuno said calmly.

"Bronya, I think you're a smart person and you won't do anything unnecessary at a time like this."

"But I must also tell you something: I have always been the Valkyrie of Schicksal, and in the days to come, I will only save more people as the Valkyrie of Schicksal."

"Yes, I know, Yuno- neechan should keep this mindset, but—please listen carefully to what I have to say."

Seeing Yuno's extremely serious demeanor, which even exuded a sharp aura, Bronya immediately spoke as quickly as possible.

"Yuno- neechan, your heart is good, but what Bronya is going to do is not a bad thing for Schicksal."

"Now, let me be frank. Schicksal might be a great anti- Honkai organization, but there's a prerequisite..."

"—Its owner cannot be Otto Apocalypse."

Chapter 266. Senior Brother, are you married?

To be honest, before hearing Bronya's words, Yuno had wondered what Bronya would say.

However, after considering several possibilities, Yuno never expected that Bronya would use Otto as a starting point to explain the problem she had discovered.

Of course, Yuno didn't immediately interrupt Bronya's thoughts.

She plans to continue her actions as the Valkyrie of Schicksal, which does not conflict with her belief in Bronya.

Since your companion has something to say, it's best to wait until they finish speaking before asking questions.

Seeing that neither Mei nor Yuno interrupted her, Bronya continued quite decisively.

"I know that anyone who knows Bishop Otto to some extent will not think that Bishop Otto is a good person."

"But to those who know Bishop Otto's character, whether a leader who can lead everyone against the Honkai is a good person or not is not something that needs to be cared about."

"I used to think that way too, but..."

"—What if his actions have been contributing to the Honkai's development?"

"This..."

Mei looked at Yuno with a slightly puzzled expression as she listened to Bronya's point of view.

"That's unlikely. To actively allow the Honkai to develop, or even to actively promote Honkai... that's..."

'Isn't this something only an idiot Cocolia would do?'—Before Mei could blurt out those words, Yuno glared at her fiercely.

Then she immediately realized that Bronya was Cocolia's adopted daughter.

Actually, it's not that Mei's reaction time is so slow; it's mainly because in Mei's eyes, the cruel and mentally challenged Cocolia and the obedient and intelligent Bronya don't seem like mother and daughter in any sense.

Because the differences between the two were so great, she subconsciously forgot that there was such a relationship between them.

"Yuno- neechan, there's no need to be so careful about this."

Bronya, who had just seen Yuno glare at Mei, sighed softly.

"In fact, since I broke free from my mother's control, I have realized how crazy and reckless her past ideas were."

"But let's look at it from another angle. As one of the executors of Anti-Entropy, Mother can indeed cause significant problems if she wants to accelerate the Honkai's development, so..."

"If it is Bishop Otto, who has more ability and power than Mother and has lived for five hundred years, who intends to do this, then the problem is much more serious."

Upon hearing Bronya's statement, Yuno immediately asked a question.

"So, you're saying you already have evidence, right?"

"There isn't much concrete evidence, but Bronya found some details."

After activating her modified intelligence screen, Bronya presented her two companions with a series of data she had compiled over the past period.
