What on Earth is Wrong with Brother Lin Yu? (cont.)

A gunshot rang out, but the 'bartender' who had pulled the trigger showed a look of surprise that shouldn't have appeared on his face.

The ghost, who should have been shot through the head, completely vanished right before his eyes at the last moment.

Not only that, the bartender also discovered that many unexpected vines had appeared on his body.

Is this... that little bitch Yuno's ability?!

No, these vines are too fragile.

The bartender, who had easily crushed the vines with the slightest effort, immediately wore an extremely unpleasant expression.

A person who possesses both the ability to teleport and the ability to create vines...

—Lin Yi!

Why did this little girl make a move at this time?!

Despite all his calculations, the bartender could never have predicted that his plans would be ruined by something like this.

Although he had already used Feathered Dust to interfere with the ghost's cognition, how safe could the Simulated Feathered Dust be?

It's clearly too late to find that brat who finished off the ghost now.

Even a plan like this can fail; I've been having really bad luck lately.

There's nothing I can do, really nothing I can do.

Capturing Lin Yi is a very tempting idea, but I didn't bring the Staff of the Underworld with me today.

... I must be crazy. The Staff of the Underworld, such a trump card, should be used to deal with the most troublesome enemies.

Fine, fine. Whether we expose ourselves sooner or later, it's all the same. Let's just assume the ghost will reveal all the information after it awakens...

What????

After hearing the voice that directly connected to his brain, the 'bartender' was suddenly stunned.

God, what do you mean by this?

After listening to the message, the 'bartender' nodded slightly and immediately chose to leave.

Although he could disguise his appearance as anyone using his Soul Steel Body, he had failed twice in this regard and no longer expected to fool anyone with this trick.

Back then, his true colors were finally exposed in front of the Anti-Entropy group.

Now, facing an A-rank Valkyrie manages intelligence, he was seen through the moment they met.

After these two failures, if he still thinks he can fool others just by his looks, then he's a fool who thinks everyone else is an idiot.

That's enough, that's enough.

Now that God and I are on the same side, I'll just believe what He says for now.

For the next period of time, I'll continue to lie low.

After my plan is completely completed...

—The Herrscher of the Void and the Thousand Worlds Annihilation will sooner or later fall into my hands!

.

The next day, Anti-Entropy Headquarters.

Inside the Anti-Entropy Headquarters, Seele, who was waiting for someone, nervously looked around.

Rosalia and Lilia, who were standing next to Seele, didn't seem nervous at all.

"Sister Seele, what's wrong with you today?"

"Huh? I... I'm fine!"

Seeing her two orphanage friends surrounding her and scrutinizing her expression, Seele coughed twice and then smiled at them.

"I'm just thinking about what I should say when I see Sister Bronya later."

"Oh, is that so?"

"That makes sense. When Seele was in the orphanage, she and Sister Bronya were very close."

Seeing the two people who immediately believed her words, Seele felt a pang of guilt.

Meanwhile...

Seele, you've changed. You've really changed.

Another me?

Not only have you become adept at lying without batting an eye, but you've also become skilled at using your older sister as an excuse.

This... that...

[You were clearly thinking about what you wanted to say to Lin Yu, but you ended up using your older sister as a shield?]

I'm really pleased that you've become so thick-skinned.

No, stop talking!

I've also been thinking about what I should say to Sister Bronya when I see her!

Yes, that's true.

But this proportion... sigh. (Cut it out)

What is so good about him?

What you're saying is strange, or rather...

What exactly is wrong with Brother Lin Yu?

Hearing Seele's confident retort, Black Seele truly felt that Seele was completely hopeless.

She seriously doubted that, given Seele's current level of affection for Lin Yu and her ever-growing boldness... (The sentence is incomplete and lacks context.)

—Maybe in less than three days, Seele will climb onto Lin Yu's bed!

No, no, this shouldn't happen! If this really happens...

—Then at least another ten months!

Faced with Black Seele's one-woman show, Seele said to Black Seele in an annoyed tone.

My other self, I can hear all your thoughts that you haven't hidden at all.

Oh, sorry, sorry, then I won't disturb your continued reverie about him.

Sigh, you...

Faced with the teasing of her other self, Seele was unable to refute what the other person was saying.

After all, no matter how flippant the other person's tone was, the words spoken by that other version of yourself...

—These are all true.

Although they had only known each other for a short time, Lin Yu's image was already firmly etched in Seele's heart.

Even though she tried her best to deny it, Seele still realized that Lin Yu was just as important to her as Bronya, whom she missed so much.

Once she realized that she had been so devoted to her boyfriend and neglected her friends, Seele felt that she really shouldn't have done that.

But, but...

[But Brother Lin Yu so handsome, isn't he? -- How could you become so infatuated?]

But, but that's the truth.

Black Seele was too lazy to repeat these same old platitudes.

Black Seele doesn't want to talk right now.

She genuinely felt that although Seele hadn't yet completed the ritual of love with Lin Yu, she had already completely transformed into Lin Yu's form.

Moreover, there is a major problem with Black Seele 'Seele current mental state.

No matter how much Seele misses Lin Yu, it doesn't change the fact that she's in unrequited love.

Of course, from a normal perspective, if a girl like Seele, who is good-tempered, has a great figure, and is beautiful, takes the initiative to confess her feelings, no one would refuse.

But Lin Yu...

Damn it, although I don't want to be sure, he is indeed very handsome and a good fighter. Anyone with even a little bit of normalcy would have a bunch of women chasing after him.

For example, that blond fat woman last time, she was clearly interested in Lin Yu.

Seele had no idea what kind of predicament she was about to face.

But now, I can roughly imagine what kind of hell she's going to face.

"Ah, it's Alliance Leader Welt."

Upon seeing Welt, the Alliance Leader of the alliance, appear before them, the three of them tensed up and stood at attention in front of Welt, trying their best to maintain a good posture.

However, faced with the girls' overly serious attitude, Welt felt a pang of guilt and helplessness...

Sending these good kids to be test subjects for the X10 Experiment, Cocolia, you're really too much of a scoundrel.

Alas, they still don't know about Cocolia's death.

Hopefully, when I see Bronya again, Bronya 'll understand my hints.

The death of a mother is still too much of a shock for a child of this age.

Let's keep them calm for a while, and then use AI-generated images to fool them later.

Perhaps in the future, they will discover the truth, but until then...

I'll just take it one day at a time while I'm blind.

"Um, Alliance Leader Welt."

Looking at the calm-faced man in front of her, Seele timidly spoke.

"So, we still can't see Mother Cocolia?"

"Well, I'm sorry, but this is the only thing that won't do."

Hearing Seele's question, Welt adjusted his non-prescription glasses and spoke to the three of them with utmost seriousness.

"Although Cocolia is your adoptive mother, it is an indisputable fact that she used innocent children from the orphanage as experimental subjects."

"In addition to her crimes of triggering the Third Honkai Outbreak and instigating internal strife, sending her on a classified mission to remove her from the management circle and allow her to atone for her sins is already the most lenient punishment we can give her."

"I see..."

Listening to Welt's description, Seele felt a sense of relief while still worrying about her adoptive mother.

For the girls living in Siberia, the harsh environment is not a big problem.

For these people who survived the blizzard, being alive meant they hadn't lost.

Some of the things Cocolia did in the past were certainly not good things in Seele's eyes.

That's why Seele didn't vent her negative emotions on Welt Young, the man who 'punished' their adoptive mother.

"Alright, let's put your mother's matter aside for now."

Welt, who had deliberately changed the subject, now gave the three poor children a kind smile.

"We can say that Anti-Entropy and Schicksal are cooperating now. Today happens to be the day we exchange information, and I have already informed Bishop Theresa in advance."

"Bishop Theresa has also agreed to your trip to the Schicksal Headquarters to meet your friends. Once you get there, you can have a good talk with her."

"Yay!" *2

Although they already knew about this, Rosalia and Lilia still shouted happily at the same time.

As for Seele, although she didn't shout like the other two, the smile on her face clearly told everyone that she was really happy.

Looking at the three children in front of him, Welt felt that these three children had experienced hardships that no child their age should have to go through.

Seele was used as an experimental subject for X10 and inexplicably ended up in the Quantum Sea.

If it weren't for Lin Yu, this extraordinary and powerful figure who appeared out of nowhere and rescued her, she probably would have been wandering in the Quantum Sea for the rest of her life as a wisp of ghost.

Rosalia and Lilia didn't originally have to face this fate.

However, because of Cocolia, those children were all taken hostage by Cocolia and handed over to World Serpent.

The shameless and unscrupulous World Serpent, upon realizing Rosalia and Lilia's talents, simply transformed them into humanoid weapons known as 'Fusion Warrior'.
