I, Herrscher Slayer: Encounter
Patting Kiana's head, Himeko stepped forward and squinted at the distant building. This wasn't just a regular infiltration mission; they'd likely be facing off against Anti-Entropy's defenses. Besides, how could they leave the task of rescuing Shen Gonglin to Kiana alone? Everyone knew that hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress trope was a crucial way to boost favorability throughout history. It would be a huge loss if she wasn't there. What if Shen Gonglin got won over by that idiot Kiana?
Himeko was very worried about this. Although Fu Hua didn't come on this mission, she still couldn't rest easy. It wasn't just Fu Hua who was close to Shen Gonglin; she also had to be careful of others. Kiana, although not very bright, might still try to harm Shen Gonglin. So Himeko was determined to participate in this mission. Just imagining herself rescuing Shen Gonglin from the brink of death, and him rushing into her arms like a swallow returning to its nest... made Himeko feel much better.
"Really? Himeko, and Theresa... Thank you so much, I really don't know how to thank you enough..."
Kiana initially thought she would have to fight alone, but when she learned that she wasn't alone and that Himeko and Theresa would be with her, she was deeply moved. Now she felt much more at ease. With their help, she was certain she could rescue Shen Gonglin and the others. With people by her side, Kiana had nothing to fear!
"At times like this, you just need to smile. After all, this isn't just your task; they are my students too... Never mind, stop smiling. That's a silly grin, not a smile. Kiana, get ready. This isn't a drill; it's for real."
Facing Kiana's grateful gaze, Himeko acted as if nothing had happened. After all, she had just saved the damsel in distress for Kiana, so there was no need for Kiana to thank her. It had been a long time since she had carried out a mission like this. Himeko stretched her wrists to adjust her state. Infiltrate, then raid, and finally win back Mirin. This was her mission log.
"Understood! By the way... Himeko, you said that three people are Valkyrie team, but, Bronya Mei, and I already make three people, so why is Shen Gonglin still on our team? What... does he do?"
Kiana's focus is always peculiar. Even though they were already preparing to start the mission, Kiana thought of this question. Shen Gonglin has been with them on missions, but the standard configuration for Valkyrie squad is three people. What exactly is Shen Gonglin doing?
"Isn't it normal for a three-person team to have four people...? If we're talking about his role, shouldn't it be... a mascot?"
Kiana's question stumped Himeko. Yes, what exactly does Shen Gonglin do? In the end, Himeko came to a conclusion: Shen Gonglin is just a mascot. They don't expect him to complete any missions; they just feel happy to have him with them. Kiana and the others feel this way, as does Fu Hua. They all like to take Shen Gonglin with them on missions. What else could he be but a mascot? Shen Gonglin is truly useful.
"Yes, a mascot. Himeko, you're absolutely right. Shen Gonglin is indeed a mascot. But you'd better not say things like that in front of him, or he'll get angry and bite you. You have to trust me, Himeko. I've been there."
Himeko's answer perfectly aligned with Kiana's thoughts. Kiana nodded in complete agreement. Shen Gonglin was indeed like a mascot, the kind you had to take with you wherever you went. But this kind of thing couldn't be said to Shen Gonglin directly; it was better for everyone to know in their hearts. After all, that mascot could bite. As someone who had been through it all, Kiana felt she had to have a serious talk with Himeko. A bite from Shen Gonglin wouldn't be pleasant.
"There's such a good thing... I mean, Shen Gonglin can do this too? I understand, I'll be careful."
Himeko's eyes lit up. She licked her lips, eager to try it out. They had all been bitten by Shen Gonglin, but she was the only one who hadn't. What would it feel like? Himeko was very curious about this. She couldn't wait to try it. Even Durandal was affected after being bitten by Shen Gonglin, which showed that Shen Gonglin's mouth was indeed very powerful. She really wanted to try it.
There must be something wrong with this person.
Kiana glanced at Himeko with a complicated expression. Why did Himeko seem so unafraid? On the contrary, it was as if she wanted to shove her arm into Shen Gonglin's mouth. What a terrifying person.
"Alright, that concludes our conversation. Before we begin the mission, let me explain the situation. The intelligence department has confirmed that Bronya, Mei, Wendy, and Shen Gonglin are currently being held in this ME Company building. Unfortunately, Schicksal has not yet made any preparations to declare a full-scale war against Anti-Entropy, so we are the only ones carrying out the rescue mission... maybe. But even so, it doesn't mean we're being bullied and have to swallow our anger."
Theresa's communication interrupted Kiana and Himeko's conversation about mascots. Seriously, is this the time to talk about mascots? Speaking of mascots, Rita's phone charm seems to be a chibi version of Jingu Rin's avatar. She probably made it herself. I want one too. I'll ask her to make one for me when I get back. Thinking of Rita and Theresa reminds me of those two S-rank Valkyries who acted without permission. They should have acted before them, so why is Anti-Entropy headquarters still so calm? I really don't understand.
"I can't just sit here and let this go... Hey, Theresa, what do you mean by that?"
Sensing something that interested her, Kiana said with great interest, "Doesn't that mean we can only infiltrate?"
"Literally, the primary mission is to infiltrate the building and rescue Shen Gonglin and the others who have been captured. Then, the secondary mission is to cause some damage if conditions permit. Anyway, it's all Anti-Entropy stuff, so even if we break it, we won't feel bad at all. We have to let them know that they will pay the price for daring to capture our people!"
Theresa said firmly, "If the students are being bullied, what kind of headmaster am I if I don't stand up for them? Schicksal isn't prepared for a full-scale war, which means I can't retaliate against Anti-Entropy. It's impossible for them to make me behave politely after they've captured my people. If I could, Theresa would even want to demolish this building."
"Receive!"
Kiana readily agreed. As expected of her aunt, such an order was just in line with her personality. Kiana was already prepared to cause a huge scene.
"That last sentence doesn't sound like something a nun would say."
Himeko shook her head helplessly, but seeing the smile on her lips, one could understand that such a mission order was exactly what she wanted. It was time to make a big scene; it would be too boring to be restrained on enemy territory.
"Oh, don't worry about such trivial matters. In short, although Himeko and I will participate in this operation, the necessary investigations still need to be done. We still need to sneak in. We'll start Musou later. If we make too much noise beforehand, it will be bad if they have to move. Kiana, you guys explore the area around the building first, find a way to enter, and also investigate the internal structure of the building. Now, let's begin the mission!"
At Theresa's command, Kiana nodded emphatically. The rescue mission was about to begin.
Meanwhile, on the other side, on the last bus, Durandal's face was dark, radiating an aura of unapproachability. Even with her outstanding appearance, no one dared to approach her. Damn it, even a hero can be brought down by a penny! In the past, the logistics Valkyrie had taken care of her travels, but she never expected that going alone this time would be so troublesome. First, she was not allowed to enter the airport with her weapon, and now she could only take the bus to the rescue. In just one day, Durandal felt that she had completely lost face as the strongest Valkyrie. Why was it so troublesome? After buying the plane ticket, she didn't even have money for a taxi. No, she had to put making money on her agenda when she got back.
Durandal had never really grasped the concept of money before, but after coming out this time, she realized its importance. Damn it, if she didn't have money, she wouldn't even be able to go out. If it weren't for Alvit's friendly assistance, she wouldn't even be able to board a plane. Shen Gonglin is clearly not the type to save or make money, so she'll have to rely on herself from now on... Wait, what does this have to do with Shen Gonglin? Why am I thinking about him?
It must be because he took my bank card. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a predicament. From now on, I'll have to manage the family finances myself... Wait! Why am I thinking the wrong thing again? This money is mine; it's only right that I take it, isn't it? Why do I feel like I'm asking the person in charge of the family for money? Even if they are, it should be me...
Ughhhhh, what's wrong with me? Is my brain broken? I can't take it anymore, I don't want to think about it anymore, if I keep thinking I'll really break down!
Durandal exuded a low-pressure aura, and the other passengers on the bus didn't dare to breathe. This beautiful blonde girl seemed to have something wrong with her head.
Meanwhile, in the taxi, the driver swallowed hard, cold sweat pouring down his face. The sharp blade against his neck gleamed coldly. He had been blinded by greed, thinking he had caught a fat sheep. If this blade were to come at him now, he would be dead.
"Driver, could you please go a little faster? If you take another detour, I don't mind if my hand shakes a bit."
In the back seat, the maid smiled sweetly, but the scythe in her hand put immense pressure on the driver. He nodded nervously, thinking, "How dare you take a detour?"
He's practically flying now.
Chapter 475 Encounter
"Wow, that's amazing... Did you make all of these, Tesla?"
Meanwhile, while Kiana and the others were searching for a way to enter the ME Company building, their rescue target was gazing in awe at the quietly displayed mechs before them. This was completely different from the torture they had anticipated. At this moment, Shen Gonglin seemed to be on a sightseeing tour, and not only that, she even had a tour guide to entertain her.
"Of course, these are all my proudest creations. Aren't they amazing? But they're all mass-produced, so they don't require much technical expertise."
Tesla stood with her hands on her hips, quite pleased with herself. She was very happy to be able to show off in front of Shen Gonglin. Because she was bored, she took Shen Gonglin for a casual stroll around ME Company. They were currently in the warehouse of the mecha unit. To Tesla, all of these things were her creations. Seeing Shen Gonglin's surprised expression, she felt her vanity swell to an extreme. She had really surprised him.
"This is already amazing, Tesla. Is it all powered by Honkai energy? Anti-Entropy is quite impressive."
Shen Gonglin reached out and touched the mecha. The cold steel stirred a surge of excitement within him. As the saying goes, mechas are a man's romance. Looking at so many mechas before him, Shen Gonglin was very excited. Unlike Schicksal, which used Valkyrie to fight, Anti-Entropy primarily deployed mechas. Just touching the Shen Gonglin could feel the Honkai energy within them. Anti-Entropy's technology was quite impressive. Using mechas in battle not only ensured combat effectiveness but also prevented any danger to the remotely controlled pilots. Not bad at all.
"It is indeed powered by Honkai energy, but unfortunately, the technology for applying Honkai energy to mechs is still not very mature. The application rate is probably less than 20%. Honkai energy is very easy to get out of control, so these mechs will have problems at various joint connections after a short period of use. Using mechs in combat is quite costly."
Tesla stood beside Shen Gonglin and explained the drawbacks of using mechs in combat. Compared to Schicksal's method of training Valkyrie for combat, it consumed far more funds. Every deployment was a money-burning affair. Although this wasn't his concern, improving the mechs had always been Tesla's wish. If the mechs were even slightly more perfect, their performance on the battlefield would be much better.
"That's still better than sending the Valkyrie to the battlefield; at least she won't be in danger."
Shen Gonglin patted the mecha and jumped onto it with a little effort. The height wasn't enough to frighten Shen Gonglin. Sitting on the mecha's shoulder, he sighed. He had been on the battlefield a few times and had witnessed some of its cruelty. Putting aside other things, just consider Anna's situation. If he hadn't been there, she might have become Suicide Squad. He could have saved her, but what would have happened to her if he hadn't been there? Shen Gonglin didn't dare to think about it.
Thinking of that girl, Shen Gonglin pulled open her collar and took out the blue necklace inside. She wondered how the girl was doing. She should have gone back to Coral Island by now. She thought she could go there to visit her next time she had the chance.
"What? You feel that Anti-Entropy is the only justice? Why don't you join us in Anti-Entropy? You can research mechs with me then."
Tesla climbed onto the mecha and sat down next to Shen Gonglin. She was somewhat surprised by Shen Gonglin's ideas. She didn't know which of the two organizations' methods of fighting the Honkai was more suitable. She didn't have the qualifications of Valkyrie, so Tesla could only fight the Honkai in her own way and create better mechas. This was Tesla's wish.
"It's not that Anti-Entropy is inherently just. There's a saying that justice is the opposite of justice. Anti-Entropy creates mechs to fight the Honkai, while Schicksal uses Honkai energy modify Valkyrie to fight the Honkai. Both methods are just in a sense. Although some Valkyrie who are not very adaptable to Honkai energy die young, they still strive to be at the forefront of the fight against the Honkai before they die. That's also a kind of justice... Haha, speaking of justice, I suddenly remembered a silly girl who said that whenever she sees someone in need of help, the blood of the Kaslana family in her veins boils over. I love that kind of justice."
Sitting in his mecha, Shen Gonglin swung his legs and looked at the ceiling. He couldn't say which way was right or wrong, but when it came to allies of Shen Gonglin, Kiana's face immediately popped into his mind. Despite their frequent bickering, Shen Gonglin was actually quite admirable to Shen Gonglin. She would always lend a helping hand to those in need, and no one could truly dislike such a warm-hearted personality. There are many kinds of justice, but Kiana's kind of justice—selfless in protecting others—was truly dazzling.
"The Kaslana family... It's hard to believe you would say something like that. I'm starting to have a slightly higher opinion of you."
Tesla looked at Shen Gonglin with great surprise. This guy could say such things without a care in the world. It seems that he is not just the way he appears. Shen Gonglin also has her own thoughts. Even if Anti-Entropy and Schicksal are opposed, Tesla does not deny that there are still a considerable number of people in Schicksal who are doing their best to fight against the Honkai. She used to be a member of Schicksal, so she understands.
"Of course, I'm really good at it... By the way, Tesla, did you make that red mech too? Can I drive it for a bit?"
Shen Gonglin suddenly changed the subject. He pointed to the mecha parked alone over there. Its fiery red color made it clear that it was different from the mass-produced mechas placed here. Mechas were a man's romance. Now that such a good opportunity was in front of him, it would be a pity not to take it for a spin. Shen Gonglin's piloting heart was already boiling.
"Of course I made it. It's a prototype and hasn't been equipped with any weapons yet... But even without weapons, piloting a mecha is still very difficult. Don't try anything funny. If something goes wrong, it'll be a real mess."
Following the direction pointed out by Shen Gonglin, Tesla was beaming with pride, as if he were showing off to his family that he had gotten a perfect score on a test. This guy was indeed interested in the mecha he had made. Not bad, not bad, he has quite a good eye.
"Let me have a go, I can drive it, I really can drive it, don't be so stingy, Tesla, let me have a go."
Shen Gonglin grabbed Tesla's hand and started acting cute and charming. Tesla actually fell for it. What could he do? Seeing Shen Gonglin winking at him like a kitten, who could resist? Tesla couldn't resist either, and it shouldn't be a problem, right? He could just let her drive it for a while, and he was there too, so he could personally check if there were any problems with the mecha. Thinking about it that way, it didn't seem like a bad thing.
It seems that the practice of pampering Shen Gonglin has become a tradition passed down through generations. In St. Freya, she was pampered by the Class President, and now in Anti-Entropy, even Tesla is starting to pamper her. As expected of a Noble Phantasm for women, Shen Gonglin has always been quite adept at this.
"Well... okay then, but I want to come too. I'm worried about you going alone."
Tesla scratched her cheek. This was her biggest concession. It felt like a parent spoiling their child by letting a minor drive. Shen Gonglin definitely didn't have a mecha pilot's license, so her actions... well, if she wasn't caught, it wasn't a crime. She was just letting him drive it for fun, so it should be fine.
"Oh? You're here too... But aren't the cockpits of these mechs all single-person?"
Shen Gonglin hadn't expected Tesla to come up as well. This tone made Tesla shudder with anger. What did he mean by saying he was coming too? Did he think he would let a novice like Tesla pilot the mecha alone? Of course he would accompany him.
"It's okay, we can squeeze in. In extreme cases, the mech cockpit can fit four people, so the two of us are nothing."
The red mecha cockpit opened, Shen Gonglin had no choice but to make room for Tesla. Well, it seems Tesla would never let her pilot the mecha otherwise, so she'll just have to be patient.
"No, the defense is extremely tight. We really couldn't find any weak points. As expected of ME Company, as expected of one of the headquarters of Anti-Entropy. There's nothing we can do now."
Outside ME, Kiana Himeko, and Theresa were carefully lying in wait. The three of them had already circled the perimeter of ME Company, but unfortunately, they still hadn't found any weak points suitable for infiltration. Himeko frowned as she looked at the patrolling mech forces ahead. With such tight defenses, infiltration was really difficult.
"We've been staying at ME Company for too long. If we continue, we're likely to be detected by Anti-Entropy's forces. So, just in case, it's best to retreat now."
Himeko said in a low voice, "Infiltration missions are never successful on the first try. The longer we stay here, the greater the risk of being exposed. It seems we underestimated Anti-Entropy's defenses. We need to plan again."
"What? Retreat? How can we retreat now that we've come this far? No, I won't leave! Even if I'm all alone, I have to rescue Shen Gonglin... no, rescue Mei!"
Upon hearing Himeko mention retreating, Kiana immediately panicked. Retreating now would mean all their efforts were in vain. Heaven knows what kind of suffering Shen Gonglin and Mei are going through right now; they might be being tortured. Kiana wasn't worried that Shen Gonglin would grit his teeth and keep quiet and get beaten, but the problem was that he really didn't know anything. Just thinking about the possible scenarios made the girl anxious. They absolutely couldn't retreat now. Even if Himeko and Theresa retreated, she couldn't leave. Shen Gonglin and Mei were waiting for her to save them.
"Kiana, calm down. Acting impulsively now will ruin everything. Retreating isn't giving up; we just need to rethink our strategy. You saw what happened earlier, right? Anti-Entropy's defenses are practically impenetrable. Staying here won't help; it's not like someone's going to clear a path for us. So, for now, we should..."
Theresa also spoke up to persuade her niece, saying that the worst thing about carrying out a mission is acting impulsively. If they act recklessly, all their previous efforts will be wasted. Kiana is still an immature child, and the best option now is to retreat first. Anti-Entropy's defenses are not something they can just rush into on impulse.
Before Theresa could finish speaking, heavy footsteps came from the other side of the wall. The Valkyrie Trio were startled. Had they been discovered? Before they could react, a roar erupted as a red mech crashed through the wall and stopped in front of them. Tsk, they had indeed been discovered. It seemed a battle was inevitable.
Kiana and her two companions were ready for battle in an instant, but the mech stopped after breaking through the wall. Just as the three of them were on high alert, a noisy sound came from inside the mech. What was going on?
"I told you not to mess around. Rapid mode is an experimental feature. Now that you've made it like this, they'll definitely think my mech has malfunctioned again. I told you not to press the buttons randomly, why won't you listen to me at all!"
The mecha hatch opened, and two figures wrestling together rolled out of the cockpit. Tesla, gripping Shen Gonglin's neck, gritted his teeth, realizing he'd been completely blinded by greed to let Shen Gonglin pilot the mecha. This guy wouldn't stop until he caused some trouble. At first, everything was going well, but then he suddenly activated the mecha's experimental functions, resulting in this situation—the mecha was out of control again. If anyone found out, he'd definitely be laughed at again.
"Who told you to make that button red and put it in such a special place? Isn't it obvious that people are going to press it? This has nothing to do with me. It's human instinct. Besides, it's just a wall that collapsed. What's the big deal?"
Rolling on the ground with the Tesla, Shen Gonglin stubbornly refused to admit that she was wrong. Anyone who saw that button would want to press it, right? Who knew that after pressing it, the mecha would rush out like a pig? What does that have to do with her? Any normal person would press it, right?
"Then why didn't you press the self-destruct button? That's red too, and it's quite special!"
"Huh? It also has a self-destruct function, which one?"
"You actually want to kill me! Admit it, you just want me dead. I'll kill you first!"
Tesla grabbed Shen Gonglin by the neck and was about to attack, but the Valkyrie Trio, who had been stunned, finally reacted. Himeko pulled Tesla off Shen Gonglin, who was rampaging on her back, and Shen Gonglin also noticed Kiana and the others. What were they doing here?
"Kiana, Himeko, and Theresa... have you eaten yet?"
Chapter 476 The Scheming Shen Gonglin
What's going on? Shouldn't this guy be chained up and being tortured right now? Why is he here? It's like he's playing in an amusement park. Has Shen Gonglin really been captured? It's too easy for her to reach an agreement with the enemy.
As expected of Shen Gonglin, they should have thought of this long ago.
"You ate... wait, how did you get here, and why are you piloting Anti-Entropy's mech? And who is she, Shen Gonglin? Explain yourself!"
This is completely different from what I expected. Judging from this, Shen Gonglin doesn't need any rescue at all. He's practically having a great Anti-Entropy- Entropy? Since they captured Shen Gonglin, they should have put him in chains and shackles. How can they let him move freely, and even pilot a mecha to crash into buildings? So the strongest fortresses are indeed conquered from the inside? Shen Gonglin is really good at infiltrating the enemy.
"That's a long story... This is Godzilla..."
Just as Shen Gonglin was about to introduce them, Tesla, with a dark face, pressed his head down and got up from the ground. Looking at the three Valkyrie in front of her, she felt a little uneasy. All of this was part of Shen Gonglin's plan, wasn't it? Piloting the mecha to crash through the wall, and then using his authority to arrive without triggering an alarm, to meet up with these Valkyrie... Everything was interconnected. She really underestimated him. She had really messed up this time.
"It's Tesla, not Godzilla! I didn't expect you to be so cunning. I was definitely fooled. But don't even think about getting any information out of me. I'm not going to tell you anything!"
Tesla gritted his teeth as he corrected Shen Gonglin's mistake, thinking to himself that he, who had always been so clever, had actually been fooled by Shen Gonglin. This guy had actually been pretending all along, acting like he was mentally unstable, so as to lower his guard and even bring him along on the mecha. Now, was he a lamb to the slaughter? To have such thoughts even in the enemy headquarters, as expected of an S-class, Tesla was truly impressed by his ability to disguise himself.
"Hehehe... You won't talk, huh? I have plenty of ways to make you talk... Ouch! Himeko, why did you hit me?"
Shen Gonglin cleared his throat and let out the villain's signature laugh. However, just as he was trying to act it out, Himeko tapped him on the head from behind, and even Theresa reached out and touched his head as if to check if he was sick. He had only gone along with the atmosphere and acted it out. Did they think it was easy to make such a laugh?
Shen Gonglin works very hard.
"Fool, our cause is righteous, what you're doing is not righteous at all... Dr. Tesla, it's been a long time."
There was never a solution to Shen Gonglin's mental state, so they simply stopped worrying about it. Theresa and Himeko stepped forward to greet Tesla, their eyes filled with complex emotions. They had known Tesla before, but now, seeing an old friend again, they were on opposing sides... The key question was how she got involved with Shen Gonglin. Was Shen Gonglin able to escape because of her help?
"Ah? So it's you two. Even if it is you, I won't say anything. Although I don't get along with Cocolia, I won't betray her at a time like this. You two can give up on that idea."
Tesla glanced at Theresa and Himeko. Even if they were acquaintances, she wouldn't let them speak. Unlike some people who easily became friends with their enemies, Tesla had a strong bottom line. She could tell at a glance that they were preparing to rescue someone, but she would never say anything, no matter who asked. Not even Shen Gonglin!
Of course, if he's willing to beg me properly, I might be willing to reveal some information.
Tesla crossed his arms and glanced at Shen Gonglin, revealing only a little bit of information.
"Himeko, what should we do? She won't tell us, so we'll just have to keep infiltrating and exploring... Shen Gonglin, what are you planning to do?"
Although they had captured one of Anti-Entropy's members, she refused to cooperate. Shen Gonglin had been rescued, but they had no clue where Mei and Wendy were. Kiana turned to ask Himeko and Theresa, but just then she felt light gathering around her. Kiana looked at Shen Gonglin in astonishment as orange lightning condensed in his hand. Then, a Railgun shot out from Shen Gonglin's hand. To everyone's astonishment, Shen Gonglin blinked and gave them a harmless smile. "How about it? This Railgun shot should get a 90 out of 100, right?"
"What are you trying to do?! Infiltrate, don't you understand what infiltrate means? Everyone says I'm an idiot, but you're the biggest idiot, aren't you? We haven't even figured out where Mei is yet, and you're already like this?"
Hearing the alarms blaring around them, even Kiana couldn't keep up with Shen Gonglin's train of thought this time. She grabbed Shen Gonglin's collar and screamed wildly. What was he doing? Was he afraid that the Anti-Entropy people hadn't noticed? Or had Shen Gonglin already been turned by Anti-Entropy in just a few days?
That traitor, I'll see how I strangle him!
"Infiltrating means going on a rampage through a crowd, right?... I know where Mei is. She should be in the D2 lab. The map should look like this."
In Shen Gonglin's understanding, infiltration meant exactly this, since that's what he always did in the game. As for Mei's location, he had already figured it out. The Anti-Entropy people didn't seem to treat him as a prisoner, so Shen Gonglin inquired for a while and found out where Mei was. Although he couldn't go there, Shen Gonglin still knew the map location and such.
He stretched out his finger and drew on the ground, which fully demonstrated Shen Gonglin's sketching skills. A rather complex map was drawn in his hand. This was the map that Shen Gonglin had seen in Tesla's bedroom before. The D2 research lab should be here.
"You, you actually memorized the entire ME Company's topographical map after just one glance? That's unbelievable, isn't it?"
Tesla was utterly dumbfounded as he watched Shen Gonglin draw the map. How did this guy's brain work? Was there something wrong with him or not? Even he himself would need a long time to memorize such a complex map, and he must have just glanced at it in his room. This ability didn't seem like something a person with a screw loose could do.
"Is it that hard? With a map of your room, plus the locations of the restaurant and infirmary for reference, and combined with the basic architectural design, the location of the D2 lab should be here. Aren't I amazing? Theresa, Himeko, and Kiana, I think you can all give me a good compliment. Don't hold back, start praising me."
