You Have a New Job (Continued)

Anqi appeared with Kiana before Gray Serpent could use his abilities.

Without saying a word, a Sky Sword slashed down from the sky, and then he vanished without a trace.

Ninti then followed up, repairing the damaged systems for the World Serpent, emphasizing a magnanimous approach that treated everyone equally, showing no distinction between friend and foe in the face of Honkai.

Kevin sat between the thrones.

Although he couldn't see the changes in the data world, he remembered the child's aura and could naturally sense Ninti's arrival.

Ninti remained silent, focusing solely on her work without speaking.

"You..."

I don't want to talk to Kevin.

"Um..."

Kevin is like this.

After finally managing to utter a greeting, Ninti rejected it, leaving him speechless and unsure what to say next.

He also felt indebted.

In the Sea of Quantum, Ninti gave so much kindness and trust, but on the day he returned to the real world, he essentially betrayed the child's efforts.

Putting aside his obsession with the Stigmata Project, Kevin is a man of high moral character, so it's natural that he would feel guilty and short of breath.

Do you still eat every day?

After a long period of awkward silence, Ninti's soft, cute, and emotionless voice broke the silence.

Kevin nodded slightly.

"Have."

"Still want to do bad things?"

"If you're talking about my plans, yes."

"Snort!"

Ninti left behind a soft, cheerful, and slightly angry shout, which was reminiscent of a kitten's meow.

Then, her presence vanished, clearly indicating that she had left for somewhere else.

Kevin stared at the air before him, his face still bearing its usual indifferent expression, but the fact that he hadn't seen the girl yet left his weathered heart with a slight sense of loss.

Skyfire sat beside him, gently stroking his small flaming sword, and casually remarked:

"You seemed a little happy just now. Is it because she still cares about you?"

"..."

"Understood. When the time comes, I will do my best to give her the test she deserves. Hopefully, she will be the one we expect."

"...good."

Kevin felt a pang of reluctance and almost blurted out the words "go easy on her," but ultimately he didn't.

Because he knew that Honkai would never show mercy.

Looking at the empty hall, Kevin couldn't help but think of Ninti's little face again.

'They can already traverse the data world, and the application of their Authority of Reason is becoming increasingly sophisticated, perhaps even surpassing Previous Civilization... They seem to have grown well and haven't suffered any injustices.'

Kevin felt gratified, and a few pixels of smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

Until,

"Let's go. The Herrscher of Erosion isn't very powerful, but she's extremely dangerous. Although Anqi and Ninti helped resolve the incident in time, there are still many issues to deal with. Gray Serpent has already sent a message; there should be some work to do. Let's go check it out."

The Skyfire continued to drift forward on its own.

Kevin's expression, too, returned to its usual icy indifference.
