Do You Think I'm Kiana?!

As Valkyrie knew about Otto's plan, Rita knew after Otto said those words that Lin Yu had become a pawn in Otto's plan.

Moreover, as the person closest to K423, and even closely related to K423, Lin Yu will inevitably step into the most terrifying vortex of this plan.

What upset Rita even more was that she was just a knife in Otto's hand, and had no right or means to stop Otto from doing so.

"Alright, alright, I know there's a saying in Shenzhou: 'An elder sister is like a mother.'"

Looking at Rita, who remained silent, Otto continued.

"Although it was thanks to the HSN Serum, Lin Yu himself has the merit of defeating the Herrscher."

"Children will grow up, and you can't expect to protect Lin Yu forever."

"Don't worry too much. He's a young talent, and I don't want such a talent to die so easily."

Ha... Lord Otto's previous words were telling me that 'Lin Yu must participate in the plan,' and the underlying meaning of his words was telling me not to say anything.

These words were telling me that he would protect A'yu's life, so I shouldn't get involved.

Applying both kindness and severity must be as easy as breathing for His Excellency the bishop.

"Understood, sir."

What else can I say besides these words?

"Oh, also, I will inform Schicksal to lift the warrant for Siegfried's arrest."

"After this incident, I realized that Siegfried was just someone who had different beliefs from me. The warrant for his arrest was also going to affect the reputation of the Kaslana clan. So... let's just let it go."

After hearing this, Kiana really doubted whether she had heard it correctly.

Today, she met Otto Apocalypse, whom Siegfried greatly disliked.

But after meeting Otto, Kiana discovered...

—Hey, this uncle seems like a nice guy.

On the surface, he's been very kind to me, and in other aspects—I think he's quite honest in his dealings with people!

It's definitely not because he arranged for my senior to go to the new school with me!

I just think—his attitude towards his stinky old man wasn't actually that bad.

"Wait, Bishop Otto!"

Kiana, belatedly realizing something, suddenly asked Otto a question.

"You mean you've seen that stinky old man in Changkong City?!"

"That's right, Siegfried stopped the Herrscher of Thunder from going berserk, which is why Lin Yu was able to resolve this crisis—didn't you know that?"

Seeing Kiana turn her gaze to him, Lin Yu said irritably.

Do you think I've had the time and energy to talk to you about these topics all this way?

"That's right... Damn old man! He knows I'm in Changkong City, yet he's still hiding from me!"

The thought that Siegfried was right beside her made Kiana suddenly realize that the gaze she felt in the Commercial Street was definitely Siegfried himself.

"Damn it, next time we meet, I'm definitely going to punch him a few more times!"

Your Excellency, you really are...

Rita, who had met Siegfried many times, had by this time understood what Otto meant.

They announced to the public that Siegfried was no longer Schicksal traitor, but if Siegfried didn't return, his reputation within Siegfried would only worsen.

"Bishop Otto gave you face, and you still didn't come back. You must have really betrayed us!"

And when he comes back... ha, when Mr. Siegfried comes back, the Bishop will probably laugh himself to death.

Your Excellency, you are still the same.

With just words, one can manipulate everything in the world at will.

Faced with someone like you, what can I possibly do to ensure A'yu escapes unscathed?

"Oh right, senior resolved the crisis brought by the Herrscher of Thunder and then brought Mei back—could it be that Mei is that Herrscher?"

Kiana, who had just experienced a series of shocking events, suddenly remembered that her friend Raiden Mei had not woken up since their second meeting that day.

Then, she looked at Otto with great concern.

"Um, Bishop Otto, Mei really isn't a bad person..."

"It's alright. I've spoken with Miss Raiden, and I know she's a kind person."

"In the end, she was just a victim who was harmed by Cocolia. And now, I have invited her to join Schicksal."

"Based on my speculation, Miss Raiden should accept my invitation. If all goes well, she should go to the St. Freya Academy with you to further her studies and hone her power."

Yeah, Mei's awake too. She'll be going to the St. Freya Academy with me and my senior. I shouldn't be saying that right now, but...

—Yay!

"But where is Mei now?"

"Oh, Miss Raiden?"

At this moment, Otto looked at K423, who was beaming with joy, and spoke gently to Kiana.

"She is resting well in her hospital room now."

.

Chapter 79. Do you think I'm Kiana?

As the key figure in this incident, Lin Yu looked at Kiana's smile and could only think...

The situation is terrible.

Although K423's overall trajectory remained unchanged due to his actions, the details were quite different.

Let's leave aside Lin Yu, this 'abnormal being' who 'shouldn't exist.'

The way K423 looks at Otto now is clearly full of trust.

In Otto's plan, besides love, sudden emotional changes are also indispensable.

In the future, if Kiana were to discover that Bishop Otto, whom she perceived as having good qualities or even virtues, had been using her all along...

Yes, this could also be the opportunity for her to awaken.

As for Lin Yu, he's now bound to his own persona and can't escape it even if he wanted to.

And the most troublesome thing now is—why is the favorability rating so high?

Watching Kiana's favorability rating steadily rise until it finally stopped at 57, Lin Yu felt that his future was bleak.

He's not a smart person, but the problem is he's read the script.

Having read the script, even with his ordinary, simple mind, he could easily figure out what Otto was thinking.

Lift the warrant for Siegfried's arrest—any ordinary Valkyrie couldn't defeat him anyway, and doing so would make Kiana feel better for now, which would be enough.

If Siegfried were to foolishly believe Otto, then all that awaited him would be complete encirclement and brainwashing at maximum power with Feathered Dust.

As for Lin Yu, Otto's plan requires stimulating K423 and cultivating the relationship between K423 and others.

In the original story, K423 had a good relationship with his classmates at the St. Freya Academy, so Otto chose those people, including Theresa, as his sacrifices.

And now that K423 has such a high level of affection for him, Otto has even noticed it...

So, I've become a sacrifice for my emotions, haven't I?

Even now, I can't bring myself to distance myself from this unfortunate kid.

Looking at the smiling K423, Lin Yu felt that he was truly powerless to control his own destiny.

Otto, driven by his obsessive obsession, has committed countless evil deeds and harmed countless good people over the past five hundred years.

Lin Yu is now an important pawn in his plan, so if Lin Yu dares to act contrary to Otto's plan, he'll be in deep trouble.

[It's not that bad. Look, didn't this system warn you about a survival crisis?]

Well said—but it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I don't trust Otto.

If I dare to distance myself from K423 today, and he receives intelligence tomorrow, even if you don't get a mission notification, Otto will find a time to call me to Schicksal Headquarters and use Feathered Dust to hypnotize me, making me continue to maintain a good relationship with K423.

Of course, with the Voidpower Gem Shard, Lin Yu would definitely not be affected by the Feathered Dust technique, given his resistance to mental attacks.

However, the problem is that whether or not Lin Yu is Feathered Dust is not the key issue. The key issue is that if Otto does not act according to his instructions after confirming that Lin Yu has been affected by the Feathered Dust, then all of Lin Yu's previous efforts will have been in vain.

Otto wasn't stupid. Once he realized that Lin Yu, who had been implied, was disobedient, he immediately deduced that everything before was just a ruse.

At this point, Lin Yu felt that even if he didn't die, he wouldn't have an easy time.

His current situation is that if he doesn't get along with Kiana, trouble will immediately follow; if he does get along with her, trouble will arise in the future.

Actually, there is a third way—to draw your sword before the enemy!

Looking at the rewards this reliable system has given you, you're convinced that you can definitely seize the opportunity to kill Otto before he has an attack and kills you!

[Schicksal belongs to Lin Yu!]

Oh, while you're really generous with the rewards, the problem is, even with powerful equipment and skills, I can't defeat Otto if I don't use them properly.

He's not the kind of person who would truly die after being killed once; this man probably has far more lives than some dark purple knight.

I also have to say this – next time you play background music, could you please not create this kind of entertainment effect?

[Host, your behavior makes this system a little sad.]

Ah?

It seems you still haven't grasped the deeper meaning of this system.

The background music selected by this system might seem to you as just for entertainment or to create a funny show, but is that really the case?

Ah?

Whether it's "Unreachable" or "Good Ship," they both imply that someone cares about you.

[Whether it's Kitahara Haruki from White Album 2 or Itou Makoto from School Days, both are characters who receive care and attention. It is precisely for this reason that this system selected these two famous songs from these two works.]

This system wants to tell you that someone cares about you, so you should really cherish yourself and not be so reckless.

Thank you, system.

Oh, you actually believed that?

[Oh no! You believed something this system made up in a second? Host, this system is worried that Otto will just kill you.]

... Hello!

Give me back that little bit of emotion I just felt!

[Also, should I use the rewards from previously completed tasks now?]

... Using such an awkward way to change the subject, do you think I'm Kiana?!

[Alright, alright, don't be angry—you have a long time to spend with this system.]

If you don't have anything to lose, you should take better care of your health; getting angry too much can shorten your lifespan.

Tsk, who do you think I turned into such a complainer?

Annoyed, Lin Yu opened his email and retrieved Advanced Skill Book Lottery Ticket.

In this awkward atmosphere, Lin Yu, not knowing what to say, could only silently use his lottery ticket while watching Kiana gaze at Otto with a very friendly, even somewhat admiring, look.

Sigh, considering that Cecilia's soul is still in the fragments within me... this scene is just too hellish.

After losing her memory, the eldest daughter became one of Otto's top lieutenants.

After the second daughter lost her memory, she was misled by Otto and came to believe that he was a kind person.

My husband was just tricked by Otto using his language skills. Now, going back to Schicksal would be stupid, and not going Schicksal would solidify his traitorous reputation...

What kind of human suffering is this?

As Lin Yu was complaining, he saw a blue light flash before his eyes.
