Chapter 263
"No lying."
"..."
After a moment's thought, Sirin fell silent, looked at Bai Yan, and slowly retreated to Elysia's side.
Elysia stared at the scene on the screen, initially amazed, but after hearing Kiana's words and pondering for a moment, her expression turned strange.
Theresa's progress is a little slower, but at this point, even Kaslana should have figured it out.
He understood, but not completely.
"There were only two people, Bai Yan wasn't among them, but Bai Yan wasn't lying... which means Bai Yan is actually Bai Yan— "
Theresa muttered to herself and quickly completed the deduction.
Then she froze.
The next second, the golden Judah appeared in her hand.
"I never expected it! The Schicksal Headquarters under Grandpa's command is truly full of talented people!"
Theresa gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to chew the brat up and eat him whole.
Bai Yan leaned back, his hands making a gesture of pushing, his expression extremely weak. "Bishop Theresa, believe me, I am a professional intelligence officer. No matter how tempting it may be, I will not indulge myself."
"--Unless you can't help it, right?"
Theresa breathed heavily, a surge of anger rising within her small frame. "Tell me! Did you take advantage of my student?!"
"No."
"Impossible!"
"Headmaster,"
Bai Yan shrugged and said, "Why don't you ask around at headquarters?"
"Are you asking about this cross-dressing pervert?"
"... If you want to do that kind of thing, you don't need to wear women's clothing or take the initiative, okay?"
Theresa paused for a moment, then quickly said, "Then come back and let the headmaster take a good look at this student I haven't seen in so many years."
"This is the first time I've ever seen a scam call made via video."
Bai Yan muttered to himself.
"Everyone misses you too. Putting aside Grandpa's wicked ideas, you were indeed my best student, and you almost sacrificed yourself for everyone at one point."
Theresa's tone became calmer, and she sounded increasingly composed and rational.
"Holding a weapon while trying to persuade someone is a very clear form of body language."
Bai Yan said softly again.
Theresa put away Judah, put her hands behind her back, and said seriously, "You also saved Himeko. She is my most important help. For that alone, you have done a great service."
"But merits and demerits cannot offset each other, right?"
"I promise you that you will be treated with the highest standards of Schicksal, and I will not pursue any issues related to your past."
"But your promise doesn't mean others will make the same promise, right?"
Boom!
Judah suddenly reappeared and slammed down in a fit of rage, creating a large crater in the floor beneath his feet.
Everyone's bodies instinctively trembled.
Theresa's expression twisted again. "You're really stubborn!"
"I've already fallen into your trap."
Unable to do anything about Bai Yan, everyone fell silent for a moment.
"Actually,"
Elysia suddenly whispered, but everyone could hear her clearly, "We could easily ask Mobius for help to completely transform Mr. Bai Yan into Miss Bai Yan. It only requires one surgery, and it will be a complete transformation without any flaws—yes, Mobius is very skilled in this area."
"No!"
"Durandal exclaimed."
Kiana paused, then looked at Bai Yan thoughtfully.
The latter stared at Elysia with a terrifying look in her eyes.
"Uh, I was just suggesting it, it's fine if you don't want to."
"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute, you pink fatso!"
"No! I'm not fat!"
Upon hearing this, Elysia puffed out her cheeks in anger.
"How about I show you the Valkyrie 'Schicksal stats?"
"..."
Kiana narrowed her eyes, her voice deepening, and produced an extremely mature tone.
"That's a good suggestion."
Durandal frowned and said again, "No!"
"Hmph! Then let Bai Yan fight me. If he loses, then it'll be my decision!"
Durandal opened her mouth, then looked at Bai Yan.
However, Bai Yan sensed something was wrong.
He looked closely at Kiana.
There was something more in the latter's eyes than before.
A twisted rage, an overwhelming resentment...
But beneath these things, Bai Yan also saw a fighting spirit called "contest".
So he instinctively asked, "What if I win?"
"Do as you wish."
As Kiana said this, there was a hint of threat in her eyes.
Her gaze drifted vaguely towards Durandal.
Bai Yan immediately translated: It should be the same as your sister's.
"No!"
The two looked over at the sound and found Durandal staring at them, her face slightly flushed, but her expression very firm.
"Sister, why don't you agree?"
"That's very wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
"This violates public order and good morals; human freedom cannot be taken away."
Durandal spoke with righteous indignation and stern words.
Kiana smiled and said, "Don't you do that either, sister?"
Durandal was stunned.
Bai Yan was astonished: How did she develop intelligence?!
On second thought, it's probably because of power.
Since the Finality possesses all the powers of the Herrscher, the power of consciousness will not be absent either.
Tsk! How despicable! He actually used the power of knowledge to assist himself!
Durandal frowned, then gritted her teeth and said, "That's right, you can't do that! Absolutely not!"
"Tch--Then I'll listen to my sister."
However.
Bai Yan smiled, then said seriously, "Since everyone disagrees, I can't force you—that means I'm out of the picture. You all keep working on the fog; after all, I'm just a civil official, without that kind of advanced scientific knowledge. I have other things to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer."
After he finished speaking, he turned the camera to Dr. MEI, whose face was full of confusion.
Just then, Griseo's mask trembled slightly, as if she were smiling.
Chapter 300 This is what they call "When Heaven closes all doors, there's always a way!"
"Dr. MEI, don't let him get away!"
Kiana's angry and urgent voice rang out immediately.
However, Dr. MEI was just a scientist and didn't have the quick reaction of a combatant. By this time, Bai Yan had already disappeared.
Dr. MEI paused, then pondered for a moment before asking, "So, Bai Yan, under the orders of that bishop, disguised herself as a girl named Bai Yan and infiltrated your academy, living and eating with you for quite some time, but later died after the Herrscher of the Void descended—or rather, her whereabouts became unknown?"
"Pfft--Hahahaha!"
Tesla finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
Nagamitsu even bent down and laughed with Tesla.
The former St. Freya members who were still present, including Theresa and Himeko, all felt extremely embarrassed.
Kiana's originally fair skin now resembled a ripe crab, with wisps of steam rising slowly from her head, whether from embarrassment or anger, it was hard to tell.
Bronya wasn't much better off.
She liked that person a lot back then. Although he didn't talk much, they were very close and it was easy for them to have fun together.
They often slept in the same bed and secretly discussed games for a long time...
But being a rational Herrscher, she quickly regained her composure.
"Mei ran very fast just now, something seemed off. Could it be that after they reconciled, they became like Bronya?"
It is highly likely.
How did he survive back then?
He was fatally injured in the Imaginary Space, and even the Herrscher of the Void the Void present thought he wouldn't survive.
"Is it Miss Jingliu? It must be her. Perhaps Brother Bai Yan had some kind of adventure that time and unintentionally came to Miss Jingliu's side."
This makes sense; otherwise, the outcome of their survival would be inexplicable.
Gradually, Bronya came to understand everything, and her rationality was able to take a break.
Her eyes sharpened.
Then, without any emotion, he said, "Kiana, it seems you need to intensify your studies from now on and fully master the Power of Finality before you'll have a chance to bring that guy back."
"... You're right, Bronya. Even if I die buried in a pile of books, I'll still beat that stinky face to a pulp!"
Kiana responded in a terrifying tone.
Upon hearing this, Dr. MEI nodded subconsciously and murmured, "Accelerating the entry into the space age? Interesting."
Golden Courtyard.
Griseo removed her trembling mask, her small face filled with confusion.
Elysia leaned closer, equally puzzled. "Strange, I don't see any mechanism on this mask, so why does it keep moving?"
Suddenly, Bai Yan appeared out of nowhere, startling Elysia.
"Wow! I thought you left, how did you suddenly appear?"
"That's just a trivial skill; this mask is truly extraordinary."
Bai Yan stared intently at the mask in Griseo's hand, his expression extremely tense.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and were surprised by Bai Yan's reaction.
Dr. MEI turned the camera on Bai Yan again, but the latter's attention was completely elsewhere.
"What happened?"
