This Slap Was Unavoidable, Huh?

Seele wanted to give this flat-chested blockhead a good beating, but the Present, she couldn't even reach Zhu Yufeng's head by jumping up; she couldn't even break free from his grip on her wrist.

Wait, if her hands weren't enough, Seele turned her gaze to her feet.

Zhu Yufeng's eye twitched. "Seele, I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless. I'm telling you now, time is limited. You finally got out, and who knows how long the other one can last?"

Hearing about her other self, Seele gave up the idea of beating up Zhu Yufeng. Although she knew she couldn't beat Zhu Yufeng in a fight, she also felt that this blockhead didn't really see much difference between men and women, and that he didn't seem to care about chivalry or anything like that.

Previously, it was said that he had a girl he liked, right? When she was observing as the Black Abyss White Flower, this guy spent a lot of time with Kevin; their relationship was incredibly close.

However, if we had to say, Nahamah, who was even less chaste Lilith, might have a better relationship with him than Kevin.

In short, this guy can provoke anyone, regardless of gender!

She was so angry, but had nowhere to vent her anger!

"Hmph, say what you have to say..." Seele snorted coldly, then noticed Elysia and Lilith standing to the side. She took a step back like a startled cat. If Zhu Yufeng hadn't been holding one of her wrists, she wouldn't have taken a step back, she would have jumped.

"How come... do you have memories too?" Seele quickly realized the situation. Although Dead Wood was a bit dazed, he wasn't stupid. Since they were here, they must have memories.

Tsk... I thought only myself and that blockhead had memories...

"Yes, some do," Lilith shrugged. "It's just that none of us ever thought that the Divine Key could preserve memories."

"Tch..." Seele curled her lip. In terms of seniority, she was definitely the one who had been with Lilith the longest. Even after Lilith was gone, she was still with that dead wood!

Although I can't communicate with the dead wood at all, my consciousness keeps waking up and falling asleep again and again.

"Let's get to the point. We already know about how your previous self sacrificed herself to protect you from the Honkai," Zhu Yufeng said. "Our current plan is to find a way to get you onto Mobius's operating table..."

"Hey!" Seele's gaze immediately turned hostile. "Why her?! How many times has she dissected you? Don't you have any complaints?!"

She finds Mobius just as annoying as Vill-V. It was this guy who tricked the blockhead into doing the Chimera Project. As for Vill-V, if Mobius dissected Zhu Yufeng countless times for experiments, then Vill-V has probably dismantled her countless times since she was in the Black Abyss White Flower era.

They're all equally annoying!

Elysia glanced at Zhu Yufeng. Well, she probably knew about this. After all, Feng and Mobius had a cooperation agreement in their previous life, and the medical reports were basically handled by Mobius alone. Given Mobius's personality, it was really unlikely that she would do nothing to Feng, the zero executor of the Chimera Project...

However, the fact that this dissection has been performed countless times is definitely worth discussing...

Mobius... and Maple, I also mentioned before that when Maple first arrived at the European branch, he was ostracized and made to sit on the sidelines. In your previous life, how much suffering did you bear all by yourself?

(Zhu Yufeng: I don't even like it myself.)

"At least in this respect, Mobius is the most reliable person," Zhu Yufeng said.

"She is..." Seele was about to retort, then fell silent for a moment before speaking again, "How many people still have memories?"

Why are they all women? Let her sort it out. In her past life, the women she remembered who were interested in Deadwood and had names were Lilith, Xila, Vill-V, Mostima, and Pardofelis. The latter two were basically just background characters, not much of a threat or interest. It was mainly Lilith who was the main damage dealer...

I didn't really see any interest in the other girls. They were either just ordinary "Fire Moth" members, the kind of girls that even the "dead wood" himself wouldn't bother to remember.

Oh right, and that nagging nun! Every time she sees that blockhead, she has to nag him, and at one point she even thought he was someone who could go toe-to-toe with Lilith.

"All Fourteen Schicksal of the Fire Chaser, Lilith, and... Michael probably have memories too," Zhu Yufeng said with a somewhat helpless expression. Originally, the more reborn people connected to him, the more difficult the fight against the Honkai should have become...

But why does he feel like he's running out of money?

Among the female Flame-Chasers, only Aponia, Eden, Hua, and Griseo, who is absolutely sure there won't be any problems... If Griseo has any problems, he should go in himself, no, he should eat peanuts on the spot!

Not to mention, there are eight of Vill-V, and they wouldn't eat the same thing twice in a whole week...

Therefore, he had racked his brains to think about his interactions with Aponia and Eden. He concluded that he didn't have much interaction with Aponia, so there shouldn't be any problems. Although he was relatively familiar with Eden was a pope-level figure in the Avengers, and the head of the Avengers, so there definitely wouldn't be any issues with him either.

As for Hua... come on, Kosma flirting than her in Shanghai.

The Present if Seele isn't, it's really hard to say about Michael... Even he himself wouldn't dare to guarantee it...

Seele scoffed again, "That eccentric nun, yeah, she really is like me... We even kept in touch after she became a Divine Key. You're really something, aren't you? You've never missed out on attracting any girls!"

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

If he could, he would say that he really hadn't thought that way, but in reality, it seemed to be the opposite of what he thought. Faced with reality, all his arguments were so powerless...

"So? What are your thoughts?" Seele asked Zhu Yufeng. "You don't mean you want Mobius to directly steal my Herrscher Core, do you?"

Zhu Yufeng and the other two looked at Seele and nodded.

seele. "?"

Then Seele grabbed Zhu Yufeng's hands and shook him violently. "Hey! You blockhead, are you kidding me?! Herrscher Core... will that thing really be useful if you dig it out? Won't you... die?"

"The specific testing... depends on what Mobius says. After all, none of us are Expert in this field, and... although I the Present Herrscher, I don't belong to the same Herrscher as you." Zhu Yufeng lowered his eyes. "I can only say... this is only theoretically possible..."

Seele paused for a moment, then let go of her hand and said, "Anyway, it's come to this point... If we do nothing, it'll only be a short time... Okay, I understand. Don't bother me anymore. Even if we can't get the core out... we should at least let that guy spend more time with you. Hey, you don't mind, right?"

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

Do I have the right to have an opinion? Besides, my dear Miss Seele, have you considered that you the Present younger than Pardo, are you really not going to send me to the police station?

"Oh, right, there's one more thing." Zhu Yufeng remembered something they had both wondered about before, "Where did Yanluo go? You mean, where did your Companion Honkai Beast as the Sixth Law go?"

"Yanluo? Oh, that guy," Seele said casually. "I told it to find a place to hide on its own. It should have gone underground not long after the earthquake."

Oh, underground. If it's buried deep enough, then the methods the Present by the Fire Moth to appear won't be detected... That's alright then...

Yanluo, King Yanluo... This time he's really gone underground to be Yama...

"So you can command Yanluo the Present?" Zhu Yufeng said thoughtfully. Was the Present awakened or not?

After all, in the current civilization... oh, in the current civilization, the only ruler who has Companion Honkai Beast is the Queen...

Aside from the Thousand-Man Lawyer and the Corrosion Lawyer, almost every Lawyer in the Previous Civilization possessed a Companion Honkai Beast...

And since I was able to command Yuga even when I didn't know how to use my powers at all, then... it's not surprising, right?

"Speaking of the matter of Lawyer..." Seele narrowed his eyes, "Hey, you blockhead, bend over for me."

Zhu Yufeng was stunned for a moment, bent down, and then was slapped across the face.

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

So, he's destined to get slapped every time this happens, right? I remember he got slapped before because he bent over trying to prove to Seele that he meant no harm...

Elysia and Lilith's expressions changed, and Lilith's gaze towards Seele became even more meaningful.

"Why did you risk your life like that?!" Seele demanded. "Do you know how much Honkai Energy you could withstand when you became a healer? In the end, it was me and that guy who helped you share some of it, so that at least you didn't die so quickly..."

She slapped him for no other reason than she was furious. She woke up to find that this guy had less than six months to live, yet he still had to become a lawyer, forcibly use his broken body to absorb Honkai Energy, and finally even went to fight against the Finality.

Can't you have a little self-awareness?

Is this kind of thing... meaningful?

Even if, as that nun said, the world has no right to award him a medal, what is he after? He doesn't care about fame, he doesn't need altruism, so what is he after?

Is it possible to have a clear conscience? Is it even necessary?

She was furious. He was capable of living. The Chimera Project, the Tragedy of Binding, the Twelfth Law incident, the War of Finality —if he had chosen to back down from any one of these things, things wouldn't have ended up like that.

Zhu Yufeng straightened up, reached out and touched the spot on his face where he had been slapped, then removed his hand, making it look as if he hadn't been hit at all.

Theoretically, they were never attacked, because time was rewound to a point before they were attacked.

Elysia glanced at Zhu Yufeng with a complicated expression. She felt that it wasn't just Seele who wanted to slap him; Mobius and even Kevin might have thought of doing so as well.

However, unlike Seele, Mobius and the others felt more or less guilty towards Zhu Yufeng. They could only think about the slap at most, and they didn't have the right to do so.

Lilith could probably, but she wouldn't. She only wanted to be with Zhu Yufeng, even if it meant dying together in the end...

Seele's words don't seem to implicate Zhu Yufeng at all... Furthermore, we must consider that Seele is seeing these things from a perspective that isn't entirely objective, and given her current personality, her actions aren't unreasonable...

"Because... I am a stubborn fool, that's all," Zhu Yufeng replied.

So stubborn... that even if he hits a wall, he'll either kill himself or knock the wall down.

Seele clicked her tongue and then looked away. "You... never mind... I guess I was just being emotional. I'm sorry, I apologized to you the first time we met... I'm sorry."

I got carried away... I couldn't control my emotions... Oh well, I'll apologize then. Anyway, she won't be coming out again. Let this blockhead know how I, or rather, how others feel...

Zhu Yufeng remained silent for a long while before saying, "If it's just an apology, I have no intention of forgiving you."

"I know," Seele said calmly. "Tell me what to do."

Zhu Yufeng narrowed his eyes, a mischievous smile playing on his lips, and said, "Counting the two times you hit me, and also the time you spied on me for so long in my past life..."

"Hey! Who's spying on you?!" Seele immediately bristled.

"I didn't even know you were spying on me, wasn't that just peeping?" Zhu Yufeng raised an eyebrow.

"That's clearly because I can't talk to you!"

"Just tell me if I know you're watching me. Even Vill-V admitted that she put surveillance cameras on me."

seele. "..."

Don't compare her to that woman, okay?!

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Seele asked through gritted teeth.

"Hmm..." Zhu Yufeng pretended to think seriously for a moment and said, "How about this, you and your other self will take turns appearing for a day. Behave yourself and talk to your other self more. Don't face everything alone... Even though you are two personalities, you are still interdependent and twins, aren't you?"

"Why should I agree to these things..."

"Then I'll settle these scores with the other you that appears later, okay?"

Seele's eye twitched. She glared fiercely at Zhu Yufeng and spat out the words through gritted teeth. "You blockhead, you're ruthless..."

Zhu Yufeng looked up at the sky. How else could he make Hei Seele behave? Besides, this was the only way he could scare Hei Seele. If she really didn't care... how could he possibly threaten her? It all depended on whether Hei Seele would take the bait.
