What on Earth is Wrong with Brother Lin Yu?

However, there's still one person we can't handle.

Lin Yu, the Herrscher of Constraint.

He, whom I once regarded as a lucky charm, will surely turn against me in the future if he diligently gathers intelligence about his surroundings.

But now, even if there's no other way, I have to think of a solution.

The theater's teleportation feature, its methods of inducing despair, plus my backup plan...

We can't delay any longer.

The longer they delay, the more thorough their preparations become, and the lower my chances of winning become.

I was originally planning to wait until Kiana was more familiar with her powers before deciding what to do, but now...

"Hmm, what's this?"

Looking at the text messages sent by his subordinates, Otto opened them and saw the scene he wanted to see.

In the scene, Rita's parents, Roseweisse and his wife, have already been invited to another location by staff sent by Otto.

Faced with the invitation from the members of Schicksal, the Roseweisse couple had no doubts and readily left their home with Schicksal.

After reading this news, Otto really felt...

Well, although it's not a big deal, it's one of the few pieces of good news we've had lately.

I've felt something was off ever since Rita and Lin Yu left Schicksal together yesterday.

Rita is smart, and Lin Yu is smart too.

It wasn't difficult for the siblings to find a place to chat for an hour or two, compare many details and pieces of information, and analyze out some of the truth.

The hostages threatening Lin Yu are difficult to capture, but the hostages threatening Rita are easy to handle.

Although I don't think the Roseweisse couple can play a significant role, I'll keep this card in my hand for now.

After reading the message, Otto suddenly heard an alarm from the system.

"Hmm, what's this?"

Hearing the system's alarm, Otto frowned slightly, opened the intelligence screen, and began to check the source of the alarm.

Although Otto left Schicksal, he still secretly maintained control over the Schicksal.

To prevent some people from obtaining information they shouldn't have and then analyzing truths that are detrimental to Otto has been releasing information to 'fish' for information.

Otto added a backdoor alarm system to this intelligence.

Otto will know immediately if anyone tries to view these records with their own privileges.

Of course, people without a brain wouldn't notice this kind of intelligence and records under normal circumstances.

Moreover, Otto would not eliminate everyone who saw this intelligence.

Not everyone is capable of discovering the truth. Given that Otto didn't see through his true nature, Otto certainly wouldn't go so far as to simply kill his subordinates...

—Oh, Siegfried and Cecilia were an accident, that doesn't count.

As for who exactly got access to this intelligence today, Otto let out a slightly helpless sigh when he saw the name.

"Wraith, it has to be you."

"Upon closer reflection, you do indeed possess this ability."

At this moment, he remembered Otto, one of his subordinates, and gently shook his head.

"I wanted to leave Theresa a strong team, but what a pity..."

"Wraith, you have crossed a taboo that you should not have crossed."

Otto, who harbored murderous intent towards the ghost, suddenly made a heartbreaking discovery.

Although Ghost is the head of the intelligence department, she is also an active A-rank Valkyrie.

Moreover, she is a top -Ace Agent. Compared to other Valkyrie, Ghost is certainly not among the strongest, but she is definitely the most resourceful Valkyrie.

To secretly kill this kind of person... sigh, there's just no way around it.

Originally, I didn't want to use the few Soul Steel Bodies left at the Schicksal Headquarters, but I had no choice.

The situation is urgent, so Wraith...

—Don't blame me, for the sake of my plan, I have no choice but to kill you first.

.

Early that morning, at the Schicksal Headquarters

After spending the entire day researching, Ghost, who had been sitting in her office, was exhausted, but at the same time, she felt incredibly excited.

Well, saying "excited" might not be the most accurate description.

The ghosts are now undoubtedly enraged.

She was furious because of what her boss, Otto, had done.

Although Ghost acknowledged Otto's abilities, as Schicksal's intelligence chief, she also knew that Otto was definitely not a good person.

However, like the other Schicksal members who knew part of the truth, Ghost clearly valued Otto's abilities more than his character.

But in the past few days, the ghost noticed something was amiss.

A few days ago, Himeko complained to her that the number of documents from Schicksal had suddenly increased a lot in the past three days.

Himeko guessed that the group of ambitious people must have been getting restless because Otto was not around and Lin Yu was missing, so they tried to test Theresa and put pressure on her.

However, Himeko only knew one side of the story.

Although she is intelligent, even an intelligent person's judgment may not be accurate when there is insufficient information.

As Schicksal's intelligence chief, Ghost naturally understands those ambitious people she talks about better than Himeko, who has been stationed at the Far East Branch for several years.

These ambitious individuals do indeed harbor some excessive ambitions, but they would never dare to act recklessly when facing Otto.

Himeko thought that this group of people would only be able to sit still for a month, but in Ghost's opinion, their patience would only last many times longer than a month.

Something unusual must be going on. The ghost believes that this group's sudden attack is definitely not due to their ambition.

After investigating for half a day based on this idea, the ghost uncovered an incredibly shocking truth.

A few days ago, Otto had used the excuse of "testing Theresa in this way" to have other branches send all sorts of trivial matters to the Schicksal Headquarters, creating an information bombardment.

After confirming the news, Ghost honestly didn't believe Otto really thought that way.

The more the ghost thought about it, the more uneasy it felt. So it began to investigate the events it had once suspected, based on the things it had doubted back then.

It would have been better if they hadn't investigated. After investigating for a long time, Ghost realized that he had still misjudged Otto.

She knew Otto wasn't a good person, but she didn't know Otto was such a beast.

Several capable colleagues who have disappeared in recent years had investigated certain matters before their disappearances.

After finding the information left by a colleague, Ghost's heart turned ice-cold.

The person who killed these people, in the eyes of the ghost...

—It is very likely that it was Otto Apocalypse himself.

In the past, as a ghost operating under Otto's command, she had been trying to convince herself that her judgment was correct.

Even though Otto allowed Cocolia's plan to catalyze the birth of the Third Herrscher, even though Otto indirectly facilitated the birth of the Fourth Herrscher, even though Otto conducted a core fusion experiment on the Valkyrie of the headquarters, Ghost believed that this was just a necessary sacrifice to defeat the Honkai.

But now, after reading all this information, Ghost realizes that he was really too naive in the past.

She wasn't entirely certain that Otto was truly a villain who secretly assassinated his colleagues and assisted in the development of the Honkai.

But even if it's not 100%, it's at least 80%, 80%...

—That was enough to almost drive her to the brink of a breakdown in her Dao heart.

The goal that one strives for throughout one's life is completely ignored by powerful figures.

And this damned big shot is even assisting the enemy of humanity for some unknown reason.

"Hey, a ghost."

The ghost, who was deep in thought, saw the bartender coming out from around the corner and greeted him with a smile.

"Hey, what's up? Why is the bar so quiet today?"

"Haha, I need to relax sometimes too, don't you think?"

"Yes..."

Upon hearing the other person's words, the ghost nodded slightly, and in that instant...

'Bang'

He drew his sidearm from his waist and shot the man through the knee.

"Guaaaaaaah!"

The bartender, who appeared before the ghost at that moment, clutched his pierced knee and let out a pitiful wail.

"Ghost, what are you doing?! Aa..."

"Does this mean you have betrayed Schicksal?"

"Stop talking nonsense, it's a fake."

After firing again and piercing the other man's kneecap, Ghost coldly addressed his 'comrade' in front of him.

"Do you think you can get close to me by pretending to be someone I know?"

"After losing part of his memory, the bartender treated the bar as his home."

"I've known him for so many years, and ever since he lost his memory, he has never let himself relax."

"Perhaps it's because the memories he's forgotten are too tragic, and he keeps trying to stay in the bar to force himself not to remember the past."

"He has never shown such a relaxed expression before, nor could he have said such a thing. But thinking about it carefully, you fake probably wouldn't care about these things."

After easily severing the bartender's hands, Ghost sneered at the enemy before him.

"I am the chief intelligence officer of Schicksal. Don't underestimate my intelligence network, you fake."

"Oh, indeed, I admit I really underestimated you, Ghost."

The moment the other person uttered those words, Ghost instinctively felt a chill.

The ghost, who had intended to spare the other's life to interrogate them, now pointed the gun directly at the other's head and pulled the trigger for the last time.

But this time, the bullet did pierce the opponent's forehead.

However, at the same time, the gilded pistol in the opponent's hand fired a devastating bullet and struck the ghost's body.

"Yes..."

Looking at the weapon, the ghost's expression suddenly turned bitter.

"It's you."

"So it seems... my guess was correct."

"Yes, that's correct, but to avoid you getting revived, so..."

Amidst the swirling golden feathers, the 'bartender' pulled the trigger on the ghost for the second time.

"Don't blame me, after all..."

"—Who told you to be so smart? Being too smart is never a good thing, is it, Ghost?"

Yes, being too smart is definitely not a good thing.

Xiaolin, I'm sorry, I should have told you about this right away.

But now, it's too late.

It's all too late. [You're not dead? Stop howling!]
