Chapter 180

"It's very soft. Shen Gonglin can check it more carefully."

Shen Gonglin looked up at Bronya, and Bronya gave this answer: very soft. Bronya was not lying at all; it seemed to be getting softer and softer, Bronya felt like she could hardly stand up anymore.

"Oh, it's that serious. Let me take a closer look."

Shen Gonglin's expression turned serious. Could it be that her treatment method had some side effects? She wondered if using electromagnetic control in her current state would have any impact. The conflict between the Herrscher of the Void and the Universal Angel's powers within her hadn't stopped yet, Shen Gonglin was already using electromagnetic power again. Electricity flickered at Shen Gonglin fingertips as she gently touched Bronya's calf, trying to use the current to check. But as soon as the current entered Bronya's body, she shuddered violently. No, this feeling, although not as intense as bloodsucking, was still unbearable for Bronya.

"Okay, it seems... my legs are even weaker."

Ah, what's going on? Why is it getting worse the more I treat it? Shen Gonglin panicked a little. At this moment, because he used Electromagnetic Force, the two forces that had temporarily stopped fighting within him started fighting fiercely again due to the involvement of a third party. Shen Gonglin quickly stopped controlling the electromagnetic power, but the two forces seemed to be fighting even more fiercely. He had to suppress them properly.

"Alright, I know what's wrong with Bronya. I'll take her for a cold shower to calm her down. Shen Gonglin, you should get some rest."

Shen Gonglin suppressed the clash between the two forces within her, while Mei noticed Bronya's twitching. The girl's lips twitched as she pulled Bronya down. As long as Bronya was away from Shen Gonglin, her legs wouldn't give way. She hadn't expected even Bronya to play such a little trick. Girls, none of them are simple-minded.

Mei can heal illnesses now? How come I didn't know that before? Taking a cold shower can cure illnesses... Oh well, since they say it's nothing, I don't need to think about it anymore. My head was a little sore from the impact of the two forces, Shen Gonglin rubbed her temples and climbed into bed. The bed that Bronya had warmed up earlier smelled nice and warm. Shen Gonglin closed her eyes and tried to harmonize the forces within her body.

It doesn't matter which power you use on its own; Shen Gonglin is always incredibly happy and cooperative when she uses either one. But this time, using two powers together is like having two girls with her. As a result, neither power wants to be with her and both call Shen Gonglin a scumbag. Now, Shen Gonglin has to try her best to reconcile them.

There are only two now. What if I want to use multiple powers at the same time in the future...?

"Bronya, you're still young. Some things... like what you did today, isn't it a little inappropriate?"

After leaving Shen Gonglin's room, Mei scratched her cheek, unsure how to talk to Bronya. Mei had always considered herself Bronya and Kiana's older sister, and now that her younger sister was acting this way, Mei felt she should say something. After all, Bronya was still too young, and given her attitude towards Shen Gonglin, it did feel a bit dangerous.

"What kind of thing is it, like what Mei and Shen Gonglin did just now? Compared to Mei, Bronya feels that what she did is insignificant."

Bronya calmly looked up at Mei, her gray eyes reflecting the girl's earnest emotions. Mei was making a fuss over nothing; in her books, this was a very common thing. Bronya was doing exactly what was said in those books, so there was nothing wrong with it.

What I just did with Shen Gonglin... So Bronya saw it all! How embarrassing!

Upon hearing Bronya's words, Mei's face instantly turned as red as a crab. The shy girl turned her head away, not daring to look at Bronya's face. It was all that idiot Shen Gonglin's fault. He thought he was being discreet, but Bronya saw everything. She was so embarrassed she could explode. Just thinking about how she and Shen Gonglin were being seen by others... she couldn't take it anymore.

"So, Bronya, you saw it... It was Shen Gonglin who initiated it; I didn't even realize it at the time."

Mei said shyly, feeling she had to clarify to maintain her image that it was Shen Gonglin who took the initiative and she was only forced to accept it. She added that if she didn't resist, there wouldn't be such a big problem.

"Take the initiative? What is Mei- neechan talking about?"

A bewildered Bronya tilted her head and asked, somewhat puzzled, "What is Mei- neechan saying? Why can't I understand it at all? How could it be Shen Gonglin who took the initiative? Mei- neechan should have been the only one in her room at the time. Shen Gonglin should still be wandering with Kiana."

"Yes, it's about Shen Gonglin kissing me just now. He initiated it, it has nothing to do with me... Wait a minute, Bronya, what are you talking about?"

Mei suppressed her embarrassment and blurted it out. Bronya was really too wicked. Did she have to make her say it? But after saying it, Mei also felt a little strange. From what Bronya said, wasn't she talking about this matter?

"Bronya was talking about what happened late at night on the Subject Seventeen. Bronya couldn't sleep and wanted to talk to Mei. Then she heard Mei- neechan calling Shen Gonglin's name at Mei- neechan's door... Mei, wait a moment, I'll be right back."

With a blank expression, Bronya released Mei's hand and walked back to Shen Gonglin's room. Mei, however, stood there dumbfounded, her mouth agape, unable to utter a single word for a long time. On the night of the Subject Seventeen... Bronya had actually overheard her. Someone like her should probably die first. Raiden Mei no longer deserved to live.

The girl looked utterly dejected, while Bronya quickly wiped her mouth and walked out of Shen Gonglin's room. As she passed Mei, Bronya whispered a message to her.

"Mei, so lewd."

Heh, I guess I should just die now.

Chapter Sixty-Two: Acquaintances in Siberia

What, what's going on? Was that a goodnight kiss? Why so sudden? It didn't give me any time to prepare. It came and went so quickly. Shen Gonglin was completely dumbfounded as she stared at the closed door. Bronya had stormed in and grabbed her chin, then kissed her. If it weren't for the wet, sticky feeling still lingering on her lips Shen Gonglin would have thought she was dreaming. Because Bronya's actions were so fast, Shen Gonglin hadn't had time to react at all. She didn't understand, she just couldn't understand it. She really didn't understand at all.

What's gotten into this girl? She just suddenly did this, without even paying. How swift and decisive! Her first kiss of the day... oh wait, I've already given away my first kiss of the day. But this should be Bronya's first kiss of the day, right? That little girl is now learning from Shen Gonglin to treat first kisses as something that refreshes every day. So was she just checking in?

There was absolutely no enjoyment involved.

Shen Gonglin wiped his mouth speechlessly and lay down, but after an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes again. He couldn't sleep, he couldn't sleep at all. He was lying here comfortably, but what about Kiana? That girl was alone in Sky City, and he didn't know how she was doing. Many forces were searching for her, and she not only had to deal with the search and capture, but also with the Herrscher of the Void within her body vying for control. He wasn't by her side right now, wasn't that a little... bad?

She sat up abruptly on the bed. A strange sense of guilt suddenly welled up in Shen Gonglin's heart. It felt like she had abandoned her wife who had shared her hardships and was eating meager meals at home while she was out indulging in debauchery. This feeling was disgusting. She could enjoy Mei's exquisite cooking here, and there was still a cake on the table that she hadn't finished eating. But what about Kiana?

That girl must be eating dirt right now.

The more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed to him became. Shen Gonglin picked up the cake tray on the table, feeling that it was really heartless to treat Kiana like this. Good things should be shared with her. Although Shen Gonglin liked to eat alone, he still thought of others when he was full.

Well, he can't sleep not because he ate too much and is stuffed!

"Let me think, Kiana's spatial coordinates should be... Even if her spatial perception might be slightly off right now, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

When he can't sleep, he likes to do strange things. As always, Shen Gonglin is capricious. Even though Tesla and the others had told him not to use the power of the Herrscher of the Void casually, he didn't take it to heart at all. The golden star ring in his eyes shone, and a luminous spatial tunnel appeared behind Shen Gonglin. He fell backward and fell into the spatial tunnel. For the Herrscher of the Void, distance is not an obstacle. Shen Gonglin's Honkai energy exceptionally abundant. As long as he knows the spatial coordinates, he can go anywhere.

However... this guy doesn't have much of a sense of space or direction to begin with, and the power of the Herrscher of the Void within him is currently in a state of chaos, so spatial teleportation might be a little problematic.

Shen Gonglin looked at the snow-covered landscape in front of him with a blank expression. Where was he? He had come here after coming out of the spatial passage. Wearing only a thin nightgown, he looked like an idiot in front of the snowflakes and icebergs. What else could he be but an idiot dressed like that in this weather?

"Where am I... Ah Qiu!"

The biting wind made Shen Gonglin shiver. He sneezed violently and hugged his arms, almost crying from the cold. Just then, he heard a sound behind him. Only then did Shen Gonglin realize that he was standing outside a settlement that looked like a human settlement. Could anyone still live in such an environment?

"It's so cold. Could it be wolves again? I really don't know why wolves would try to steal my potatoes... Huh? You are... Shen Gonglin!"

In the wind and snow, the girl, bundled up like a polar bear, stared in shock at the hero standing in the icy snow wearing a HOMU pajama set. His signature blond hair and cute little face made Alvit recognize him immediately. Wasn't this the culprit who had brought her to this godforsaken place to grow potatoes? How could he be here?

Shen Gonglin is the culprit. If it weren't for him, why would Durandal have exiled herself to the frontier? Otherwise, why would a mere office worker like herself end up in a place like this growing potatoes?

"Eh... you are... Alvit?"

Perhaps the frigid temperature caused Shen Gonglin's melting intelligence to freeze solid, because this face-blind guy recognized the little follower next to Rita at a glance. At the same time, Shen Gonglin also noticed her thick fur coat, which looked very warm.

"It's me. What are you doing here? Did the vice-captain ask you to come see me? I heard the vice-captain went on a mission, and now there's no one in the base to plead for me on behalf of the captain. So, Shen Gonglin, why are you looking at me like that? No, we can't do this. We can't let down the vice-captain and the captain!"

Noticing Shen Gonglin's Siberia wolf-like gaze, it was too late for Alvit to run away. Shen Gonglin suddenly pounced and pinned her to the snow. Feeling her fur coat being stripped away, Alvit screamed in terror. She never imagined that the plots she wrote all day would actually happen to her. She had always imagined Rita or Durandal as the heroines. Poor Alvit had never thought of imagining herself in those scenarios.

"Stop talking nonsense! You look hot wearing all that. Take it off now, or I'm freezing!"

The quick-thinking Shen Gonglin removed Alvit's coat and draped it over herself, leaving Alvit, who was lying on the snow in a starfish position with her eyes closed, ready to be tortured, completely bewildered.

What the hell? I was all prepared, and Shen Gonglin only wanted my coat. Doesn't he know how rude he is? Honestly, as expected of Shen Gonglin. I was apologizing to the vice-captain in my mind, but it seems like it was all for nothing. I feel so cheated.

"Alright, the outpost is over there. Who told you to dress like that? Stop pulling at my clothes. Go inside and warm up. Come with me."

Chapter Sixty-Three: Alvit, Exiled to the Frontier

"Oh, so you didn't come here specifically to see me. You just accidentally teleported here because of a health problem... I was so stupid, really. I really thought you were going to come here to see me. How could I forget what kind of person you are?"

In the duty room of the Siberia garrison of the Schicksal, Alvit looked at Shen Gonglin, who was sitting there sipping hot water from a teacup, with a low mood. She was speechless. How could she have thought that this guy was here to see her? How naive she was. Shen Gonglin had no conscience at all. It was a surprise that he could still remember her name. There was no need to think about anything else.

"Who knows why you're here? I remember you're an intelligence officer for the Immortal Blade. Why would you come to a place like this? And did you grow all these things outside?"

Setting down his teacup, Shen Gonglin, feeling warmer, leaned against the window, gazing at the green rice seedlings under the glass greenhouse. He only remembered Rita saying that this Alvit was a master at intelligence gathering, but he hadn't expected her to be so good at farming. Just now, she mentioned that she had been handling everything from clearing the land to planting the crops. What could have turned this active intelligence Valkyrie into this? Shen Gonglin felt there was probably more to the story.

"It's all because of the captain... No, it's all your fault. If it weren't for you, the captain wouldn't be taking it out on me all the time like she's on fire. I feel like the captain might not be able to transfer anymore. Shen Gonglin, please, have some mercy. Talk to the captain properly and ask her to transfer me back, okay? I also want to shine on the front lines of the Honkai. Things like farming should be left to the farmers. As Valkyrie, I should do what I'm supposed to do."

Upon seeing the potato and sweet potato seedlings in the vegetable greenhouse outside, Alvit felt like crying. She truly knew she was wrong and vowed never to talk nonsense online again after returning home. Being targeted by her boss was a truly unpleasant experience. Seeing Shen Gonglin, Alvit felt her chance had come. If anyone could save her, it was only Shen Gonglin.

Even the words of the bishop might not have any effect.

"Does my words have any effect? It's as if I have a good relationship with Durandal. You should know about the War of Schicksal, right? We've pretty much fallen out, so there's nothing I can do. I can't help you... By the way, why don't you come to Anti-Entropy? If you had come here before, I could have helped you. One of the people in charge of Anti-Entropy is one of my people. If you come to Anti-Entropy, I won't let you grow potatoes."

Shen Gonglin could only watch helplessly. If his words had any effect, Durandal wouldn't have stood against her in the first place. Now, seeing Alvit in such a miserable Shen Gonglin felt a little sorry for her. After all, she was Rita's subordinate, and if she could, Shen Gonglin would like to make her life a little better. And then there's...

If she goes to Anti-Entropy, wouldn't I be able to eat such delicious roasted sweet potatoes all the time? To be honest, these roasted sweet potatoes are really fragrant. Even if this guy doesn't do intelligence work, he can support himself just by selling roasted sweet potatoes.

Looking at the roasted sweet potatoes in the oven in front of her, and smelling the aroma Shen Gonglin's mouth watered. She was surprised that Alvit had such a skill; the Immortal Blade certainly hadn't discovered it.

"Does Anti-Entropy include food and lodging... No, no, I'm Valkyrie of Schicksal, and getting caught defecting would be terrible. I'm not Shen Gonglin, I don't have the backing of your Far East Branch. Lady Theresa calls you Grandpa Bishop, and you have Captain Durandal and Vice-Captain protecting you, so you'll be fine. But if I get caught, it won't be as simple as just planting potatoes. Besides, Shen Gonglin, you have to believe in yourself. Your words carry weight. After spending so much time in Siberia, I've suddenly figured out a lot of things. Captain, you've really been amazing to me."

As if she had truly been persuaded by Shen Gonglin, Alvit first inquired about the treatment for surrendering. However, she ultimately pulled back from the brink and upheld her principles as Valkyrie. They all had powerful backers, so even if they defected, it wouldn't matter. But she couldn't. She should just honestly remain Valkyrie. Besides, she wasn't without a chance to go back. This opportunity had arrived. As long as Shen Gonglin spoke up, Durandal would definitely give her face. That way, she would be considered someone with powerful backers.

"Nothing to say to me? Have you lost your mind? You know the situation back then, and you saw her choice. I don't need to say more, do I? Besides, you analyzed it for me in the end, didn't you? See, wasn't this the conclusion you told me? Rinta is my lifelong fan, isn't that you?"

Shen Gonglin patted Alvit's head in surprise. Why did this girl suddenly decide to do something like that? Shen Gonglin took out her phone and opened her inbox. This email must have been sent to her by Durandal. She said that Alvit was completely blinded by love before. In the end, Alvit was the one who analyzed Durandal's behavior for her. How could she suddenly change like this?

"Holy crap, you still have this text message? Delete it quickly! If the captain finds out, I might not be planting potatoes anymore, but instead be assigned to challenge Emperor-class Honkai Beast alone. This is a ticking time bomb... Hey, just pretend I was an idiot back then, okay? So-called best friends usually advise breaking up rather than getting back together. Besides, I was really angry at the time, so I didn't think much and just talked nonsense. Anyway, Shen Gonglin, the captain is actually really good to you."

Why did Shen Gonglin still keep the text message? If the captain finds out, I'll definitely die in the line of duty due to an emergency. Alvit scratched her cheek, a little embarrassed, and explained to Shen Gonglin. Since being sent here, she has spent her days either farming or deep in thought. The matter between Shen Gonglin and Durandal is what she thinks about the most. After thinking about it for so long, Alvit felt that things weren't quite as she had thought at the time.

"Oh? Tell me about it? I have nothing else to do anyway, so I'll just listen to a story."

Shen Gonglin raised an eyebrow. He was curious to hear what Alvit thought. What insightful opinions would this girl have? Shen Gonglin hadn't had time to think carefully about the matter between him and Durandal.

Chapter Sixty-Four: Forgive the Lancers

Tell me? What can I say now? I'm good at persuading them to break up, but I'm really not good at persuading Alvit to get back together. But I have to do it even if I'm not good at it. It's not just for Shen Gonglin, but also for Lady Durandal, and even more so for myself. If I can improve the relationship between the two of them, Durandal Alvit won't let me continue to grow potatoes here. For this reason, I have to work hard.

"Shen Gonglin, do you know Durandal? She is the only Durandal- class Valkyrie in the entire Schicksal. Although you are both ranked S-class, you know her strength. That's why we often refer to Durandal as the unique Durandal- class in private. Do you know how she acquired her strength?"

Sitting around the fireplace, Alvit thought carefully for a moment and decided to start from this angle. Durandal was the most powerful person she had ever met, but even the most powerful person was not without flaws. At least in this incident, Alvit discovered some personality problems in her, and these problems were the main reasons why things turned out this way.

"I don't know, did it appear out of nowhere like mine?"

Shen Gonglin shook her head. To be honest, Durandal's strength was indeed exceptionally powerful. She had fought her before and, although she was judged to have won, Shen Gonglin knew that if Durandal had really used her full power, she would not have been able to win in her condition at the time. That woman was indeed excessively strong. Shen Gonglin felt that she could probably tear apart Emperor-class Honkai Beast with her bare hands, and she could probably handle a Herrscher with ease.

"... You're an exception. Who knows where you got all that power? But Durandal's power was earned through countless battles and hard work. As the strongest Valkyrie of St. Freya, Shen Gonglin, you're a student of St. Freya. While you're in class, she's fighting; while you're resting, she's fighting; while you're playing, she's fighting... Maybe it's because she's been fighting for so long, or maybe it's because she's a Lancer? So I feel like Durandal's head is a little... a little stubborn?"

Since Durandal wasn't around, Alvit became much more arrogant. She scratched her head and gave this assessment: Yes, that's right, she's stubborn. Durandal's head is incredibly stubborn, perhaps because she's so powerful that she basically doesn't need to think. It's precisely because of this stubbornness that things have turned out this way. In comparison, the vice-captain's head is much more useful. Look how well she's won over Shen Gonglin; now all that's left is to take advantage of her.

So being too strong isn't always a good thing? And seeing yourself as a noob isn't entirely a bad thing either.

Her thoughts had wandered a bit, but thankfully, Alvit snapped back to reality in time. She hadn't forgotten what she was supposed to be doing. During her time growing potatoes in Siberia, she had thought a lot. She couldn't blame Durandal entirely; if anyone was to blame, it was... the Bishop. It was all his fault.

"It's precisely because she's so stubborn that Durandal doesn't seem to consider other people's feelings when facing problems. She just makes her choices based on her own senses. In her opinion, her choices are the best and most correct. This is because Durandal has always been at the forefront of everyone's journey. She's used to steering the ship, so sometimes she might slightly overlook the thoughts of those around her. Of course, it doesn't matter to us, the Immortal Blade, but as for you, Durandal might not be so used to it yet, so... Shen Gonglin, this isn't an uncorrectable problem, don't you think?"

Alvit has transformed into an emotional expert, drawing conclusions from her analysis over the past few days. Simply put, Durandal has been in charge for too long, and Shen Gonglin is habitually impulsive and makes her own decisions. Both of them are sadistic, leading to this outcome. The vice-captain and the other girls are different; they haven't experienced what Durandal has, and their personalities make it unlikely they'll encounter a situation like theirs. From Durandal's perspective, she wasn't wrong—she stopped Shen Gonglin from attacking the bishop. But from Shen Gonglin's perspective, she chose to stand against him...

Sigh, as expected, Durandal is too stubborn. She didn't even consider the consequences of her choice. Lady Fu Hua is like family to Shen Gonglin. Even absolute rationality shouldn't be applied at this moment. People need to be a little more emotional.

Perhaps we should ask Durandal to use less spears in the future, as spearmen and such might be part of the reason.

"Correct? Why would I correct her? Different positions lead to different choices. I don't need everyone to be on my side. Alvit, is there something wrong with you? Since she thinks it's her duty, I have my duty too. I don't necessarily have to make her agree with my ideas."

Shen Gonglin was completely baffled. After all that Alvit had said, he had a slight understanding of why Durandal made her choice back then. But even if he knew, what could he do? If she had to do it all again, Durandal would probably make the same choice again. So, there was no point in trying to get along with her. What was this girl trying to say? Shen Gonglin couldn't understand at all.

"Ah... Well, then, Shen Gonglin... you really have no feelings for Durandal?"

Shen Gonglin's reaction surprised Alvit. Looking into Shen Gonglin's clear and bright eyes, Alvit was quite suspicious. Judging from her eyes, this girl didn't seem to be angry with Durandal. It seemed that she really thought so. Tsk, this is a bit difficult. It seems that if she wants to win her back, Durandal will have to take the initiative a little. Shen Gonglin is in a bit of trouble.

"Why do I have to be interesting? I'm leaving. Staying up so late at night can't be anything good. And you're trying to set me up with Durandal... Do you believe I'll tell Rita?"

Holding a freshly baked sweet potato in her hand, Shen Gonglin breathed on it to warm it as she stood up, preparing to return to the Hyperion. Listening to Alvit talk so much here made her head feel like it was spinning. Shen Gonglin felt she needed to be alone for a while. It was all Alvite's fault for talking nonsense, otherwise she... tsk, annoying.

Chapter Sixty-Five: Giving You a Face

"Please don't say that! If the vice-captain finds out I said something like that, she'll definitely hang me up and beat me up. If I offend Lady Durandal, at most she'll just go through the official process and put me here to grow potatoes. But if I offend Sister Touko, I'm afraid I'll be assigned to challenge Emperor-class Honkai Beast alone. Shen Gonglin, please have some humanity! If you don't have anywhere to sleep in the future, I'll save you a bed, okay? You can sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the sofa. If all else fails, we can sleep together!"

Upon hearing what Shen Gonglin said, Alvit decisively knelt down on the ground with a thud. She looked at Shen Gonglin with tearful eyes, thinking that she was just a master of Durandal, but if she offended Rita, she probably wouldn't even know how she died. Just think, she had offended the two strongest women in Schicksal. She was really a ruthless person.

"So you'd better shut up for a bit. Here, consider this a reward for visiting the set, and a small consolation. Keep up the good work."

Shen Gonglin took out a piece of cake and placed it in front of Alvit. She then used the power of the Herrscher of the Void to open a portal and prepare to leave. Alvit held the cake, overwhelmed with gratitude. As long as Shen Gonglin didn't tell anyone, Alvit was willing to endure anything, even if it meant being threatened to do terrible and shameful things. Fortunately, it seemed that Shen Gonglin didn't have that intention.

"Take care, and remember not to gossip with Sister Tako. People who talk behind others' backs are the most annoying... except for me, okay?"

Alvit waved her hand, and Shen Gonglin also stepped into the space tunnel. Looking at the small cake in her hand, Alvit happily hummed a song. Hehe, it seems that it's not as hopeless as she thought. Otherwise, why would Shen Gonglin be in such a hurry to leave? He was in such a hurry to leave because what she just said touched something. Alvit already knew that Shen Gonglin was a tsundere.

Although it might not be useful now, at least Alvit saw a glimmer of hope. Like ancient emperors who would grant amnesty when they got married, so for someone like her who was exiled to the frontier... life was getting more and more unpredictable.

What kind of place is this?

Standing in a pitch-black room, Shen Gonglin was bewildered again. He had originally intended to return to the Hyperion, but after Alvit's long explanation that he needed to be alone for a while, he found himself in this unfamiliar environment. Using his vampire night vision, Shen Gonglin Jingu looked around at the room's layout. It seemed to be a very simple bedroom with no special furnishings. But... wasn't this Theresa?

Upon seeing the photo frame on the table, Shen Gonglin picked it up and immediately spotted the headmistress smiling unusually happily in the picture. How could Theresa's photo be here? The room's decor didn't seem to be the headmistress's style either. Shen Gonglin had been to her bedroom before, and it had a very girly atmosphere. But this room was far too simple. Where was she?

Could this be the room of one of Theresa's suitors?

You can't just rummage through other people's rooms. Shen Gonglin is usually very polite and well-mannered when dealing with strangers. In this situation, she should leave as soon as possible. Why would teleportation have this problem? It seems that the power of the Herrscher of the Void is still in a disordered state. She should wait a while before using teleportation. If she uses it now, who knows if she will be teleported to some strange place.

If she couldn't teleport, Shen Gonglin would have to use the door. The architectural style here felt strangely familiar to Shen Gonglin, but since it was someone else's room, there wasn't much Shen Gonglin could do. If it were Mei or Bronya's room Shen Gonglin could roll around on the bed or do something else, but now... never mind. If it really was Theresa's suitor's room, Shen Gonglin felt quite uncomfortable.

Shen Gonglin was about to leave when the door was pushed open from the outside, and a blond man walked in. He was drying his hair with a towel, looking like he had just finished showering. Jingu hadn't expected there to be another person in the room, and this person was...

"Shen Gonglin, what are you doing... Ah!"

It's Otto! Shen Gonglin recognized the blond man in front of her at a glance. She would recognize him even if he were reduced to ashes. He was the culprit who had driven everyone to this predicament. The moment she saw him, Shen Gonglin realized what was happening, and old and new grudges surged up all at once. The image of him shooting at the Class President monitor flashed through Shen Gonglin's mind. She had said she would avenge the Class President, and now was the perfect opportunity.

Unfortunately, I don't have a knife... No problem, this will do!

The roasted sweet potato obtained from Alvit became Otto's most powerful weapon. Shen Gonglin picked up the sweet potato and pressed it against Otto's face. The skin broke open, and the white flesh of the sweet potato was rubbed into Otto's face by Shen Gonglin. It is conceivable how hot a freshly roasted sweet potato is. Even with several layers of newspaper as a shield, Shen Gonglin Jingu felt it was too hot to handle, let alone Otto was taking the blow to his face. Even though his heart was as hard as iron, he was caught off guard by Shen Gonglin's sweet potato slap on his face. The scorching heat spread across his face. He never expected Shen Gonglin to appear in his bedroom. According to the intelligence, this guy should be in Sky City. Why is he suddenly here?

Moreover, they bypassed layers of guards and hid in my bedroom, waiting to ambush me. What exactly are they trying to do?
