Chapter 298

That's where the problem lies.

Although Bronya felt that Wendy had been given the weakest Honkai Beast, she also reminded her not to act rashly without absolute certainty, as failing to resolve the situation quickly would attract other Honkai Beast from the surrounding area.

Even though Bronya had warned Wendy, problems still arose in the actual combat.

Wendy overestimated herself and underestimated the Honkai Beast. She thought that with her strength, defeating these seemingly weaker Honkai Beast would be as easy as cutting through butter. However, when she actually faced Honkai Beast, even the most ordinary Chariot-class Honkai Beast was beyond the capabilities of a rookie Valkyrie who had only recently enrolled.

And then there was nothing more.

Bronya's plan was both a success and a failure; they did indeed enter the building and reach the top.

The problem is that the remaining resources inside the building are not at their disposal, and Wendy's mistake has led them to a situation that seems almost hopeless.

What should we do now?

This is completely different from what I imagined!

What can we do now?

Wendy was a little panicked; she knew that her mistake had led the whole team into this predicament. She was also feeling very bad.

This isn't training or an exam. Even if you make a mistake or fail, you can laugh it off if you're thick-skinned.

This is a battlefield! If you fail, there might never be a next time!

Because of her own mistake, Wendy and her teammates were all trapped in this situation. She was really panicked and very regretful, but she didn't know how to make amends.

"Bronya," Wendy whispered anxiously, "What should we do?"

"Not yet..." K423 was about to continue criticizing Wendy.

"Don't speak," Bronya suddenly said. "Quiet!"

"What's wrong, Bronya?" Wendy became even more anxious.

"I told you, don't talk!" K423 said impatiently, "Shut up and don't talk, you newbie!"

"What happened?" K423 turned to Bronya and asked.

What happened?

I'm not quite sure.

But...

Bronya felt that, if she wasn't mistaken, she seemed to hear the Doctor's voice.

She clearly felt as if the Doctor was right beside her. But she didn't dare to respond! Because Bronya was certain the Doctor wasn't with her.

If the professor were here, it certainly wouldn't be so quiet without any noise.

With so many Honkai Beasts, it would be almost impossible to sneak in without alerting any of them! And in the current situation, attacking just one would be equivalent to provoking all of Honkai Beast.

Therefore, it's absolutely impossible for them to break in without making a sound!

That sound is most likely produced by some special variant of Honkai Beast.

I cannot answer!

Bronya decided not to reply; now she could only rely on herself, on Wendy and K423.

But that voice kept recurring in her mind, and she even felt like she could hear Mei's voice again. They were very worried about their current situation.

It felt so real, like the voices of the Doctor and Mei. The sound was so real that Bronya almost couldn't resist replying.

Bronya held back, knowing she couldn't easily answer such a strange voice.

Bronya never responded to the voice calling out to her.

A few minutes later, the voice seemed to give up. Just then, another voice, which sounded like Mei's older sister, suddenly suggested that the doctor call K423!

Bronya tensed up immediately! She knew very well that K423 didn't have her patience and vigilance!

"Don't answer! Don't answer! Don't respond to any sound!"

Bronya immediately warned K423.

Just as Bronya finished speaking.

K423 looked utterly bewildered and said, "Is this... Mom's voice?"

"Are you here, Mom?"

Chapter 320 Good Things

"Rita, do you know how Herrscher came to be?"

Sipping his coffee, Otto seemed very relaxed, said in a question-and-answer format, "The birth of a Herrscher requires more than just an external Honkai."

"One more time..."

Otto paused for a moment and then said, "The Honkai of the inner self!"

"So," Rita, standing next to Otto, said, seemingly unsurprised, "You were responsible for the artificial Honkai in Changkong City this time?"

"Of course not." Otto put down his coffee and walked to the window. "I don't need to do this. It's not a good thing for me or for the whole of Schicksal. The price is too high and the reward may not match it. This is just an experiment."

"There is no need to stake everything on such an experiment."

All of this is calculation; it involves calculating costs and calculating gains.

Sometimes Otto doesn't seem like an organizational leader but rather a calculating businessman, calculating everything.

Of course, doing more calculations isn't necessarily a bad thing.

"But Lord Otto," Rita asked again, "Wouldn't it be the same if we got involved in this?"

"Of course we weren't involved," Otto said confidently. "We just had some oversights in our work. Some of the temporary staff made mistakes, and some of our internal staff were corrupted by money, resulting in loopholes in our work. Besides, we didn't cause this artificial Honkai that affected the entire Changkong City."

Yes, even if the investigation reveals that this matter is related to Schicksal, so what?

The artificial Honkai that occurred in Changkong City was neither Schicksal, nor driven, nor caused by Schicksal. Schicksal simply encountered some problems. Therefore, at worst, it will be subject to a rigorous investigation. Schicksal and the Celestial Empire have a cooperative relationship, not a leader-follower relationship.

Strict review is also Schicksal; after a strict review, just issue a processing report to them.

Moreover, they also had serious problems this time, otherwise this artificial Honkai wouldn't have happened.

"Alright." Otto, hands behind his back, finally became serious and said, "Rita, your most important task now is to be able to retrieve Herrscher it appear, provided the other Valkyrie are unable to handle it!"

"Be careful not to hurt her!"

Otto had noticed this long ago. As the leader of Schicksal, how could he not have sensed that something like this was about to happen?

Otto could have stopped it, but he didn't realize that it would be advantageous to him; it could be the start of an important plan while maintaining his existing image. Of course, some people would have considered this and seen through his true intentions.

But so what? Regardless of the facts, Otto is innocent.

For the safety of the vast majority of students, we had to evacuate ahead of schedule.

It was done perfectly, with almost no flaws and nothing to criticize.

But Otto was well aware that once he made that decision, many things would already be irreversible.

"My dearest Kallen." Otto clutched his chest, his face grave and repentant. "Please forgive me. This is for the sake of this world, and for the sake of you, the love of my life."

"Kallen".

Otto always felt that few people in this world could understand his helplessness.

Someone in the Sea of Quantum certainly couldn't possibly understand these things. He roared furiously, "That bastard! That bastard! My Mei! My wife! How could she possibly become Herrscher! You bastard, you despicable scoundrel! How dare you scheme against my Mei!"

"And that Gray Serpent guy!" Kevin exclaimed angrily, "How could he! How could he..."

They actually did that.

Kevin's voice became a little weak.

To be honest, he found it hard to judge Gray Serpent's actions; it was a deal between Gray Serpent and Cocolia. The purpose of this deal was to rescue him, Cocolia's goal wasn't to create an artificial Herrscher. Overall, Gray Serpent wasn't wrong, but he was manipulated by Otto.

It's not so much that they were used by Otto, but rather that they borrowed his plan to achieve their own goals.

So all of this is still...

"I'm going to kill that guy!" Kevin gritted his teeth.

Seele was standing next to her, didn't seem so terrified.

She was used to it; she was used to Kevin occasionally going crazy for Mei.

What else can you do? Hasn't Kevin always been like this? He wants to get out but can't, and after learning how to spy on the outside world, he always becomes neurotic. One minute he wants to kill this person, the next he wants to kill that person, but you can't even get out of the house, so why would you want to kill someone?

"Tsk~tsk~tsk~tsk~" Seele shook her head and sighed.

"Hmm?" Kevin could certainly hear Seele's sigh.

Although he was angry, he hadn't completely lost his mind and wouldn't retaliate indiscriminately at the slightest sound. He wouldn't take out his anger on this little girl just because she hissed at him. However, this didn't mean Kevin would completely ignore Seele's hiss.

"What are you doing?" Kevin asked, glaring at him. "Are you mocking me?"

Kevin could ignore the mockery, but at this moment, he couldn't quite ignore it.

"How could that be?" Seele said, looking a little frightened. "How could Seele possibly laugh at Lord Kevin?"

"Why not?" Kevin was clearly quite dissatisfied with Seele's answer. "You've been laughing the whole time, without stopping at all."

'We've been found out? Should we just admit it?' Seele looked at Kevin, then decided against it. If you get entangled with this idiot over this, it'll never end! What if he manages to stop that Gray Serpent? Then all our efforts will be wasted.

If Gray Serpent can successfully complete his plan and obtain the gem, she might be able to escape from this place that has imprisoned her for who knows how long!

"No, not at all," Seele said after thinking for a moment. "I just think, Mr. Kevin, don't you think this is in your best interest?"

"Advantageous? What's advantageous about it?" Kevin asked, puzzled.

"Lord Kevin, have you ever considered that the current Sister Mei isn't actually the same person?" Seele said. "She has been reincarnated many times and is no longer the simple Sister Mei she used to be."

"Do you want to find the innocent Mei sister you once knew, or accept a reincarnation of Mei sister that you don't really know now?"

"Mei's reincarnation in this life is Li Pu ~"

"He's a man!"

Chapter 321 I'm thinking

"I don't think this is a good thing, is it?"

Kevin couldn't understand what was so good about this.

Although MEI's reincarnation was completely unexpected by Kevin, he considered himself to be a straight man who could never be turned gay.

Li Pu is definitely a problem. Even if you grit your teeth and accept it, it feels like you're either getting some color on your head or being draped in a rainbow. Kevin doesn't want any color on his head, nor does he want to be draped in a rainbow.

So Li Pu really is a problem he will have to face sooner or later.

"You think this is a good thing?" Kevin asked, sounding slightly serious. "What's so good about it?"

"Isn't this a good thing?" Sir retorted. "Does Mr. Kevin mean the rainbow?"

"Of course not!" Kevin said firmly. "I have absolutely nothing to do with rainbows."

Rainbow? How could that be! How could an upright man like Kevin have anything to do with rainbows?

Kevin doesn't discriminate against rainbows, nor is he particularly fond of them. However, he certainly doesn't want to be labeled as a "rainbow" by others!

"That's certainly a good thing." Sir said, seemingly very certain of her judgment. "Mei is at the forefront of the fight against Honkai, dedicating her entire life to combating Honkai. So how could she possibly allow herself to become Herrscher?"

Kevin didn't say anything, but Sir was right.

How could Kevin's woman possibly become Herrscher? That's a joke!

"But..." Sir continued, "What if, just what if, assuming Mr. Otto's target really is Sister Mei, assuming Mr. Otto's plan actually succeeds..."

"He can't succeed!" Kevin said without room for argument. "I'm telling you! No one can change his mind! His plan has absolutely no chance of succeeding!"

"Oh dear~" Seeing Kevin's unwavering stance, Sir explained, "Mr. Kevin, please let me finish. Let me explain why it's necessary to succeed."

"Okay!" Kevin said, arms crossed, "Then explain to me why it should have succeeded!"

"Mr. Kevin," Sir said with a slight smile, "Who do you think is most likely to become Herrscher among Mr. Li Pu's awakened reincarnations?"

"Who?" Kevin frowned slightly. Doesn't it mean that if one person changes, everyone will change?

"Aren't they all the same person?" Kevin countered.
