In the 559th winter of his life, Otto found the path to truth.

Otto Apocalypse was heading to the realm of the gods.

Otto Apocalypse is heading to the Imaginary Tree.

The Imaginary Tree completes the tree and the sea; the emergence of a completely new theory brought astonishment to PhDs in the scientific community far beyond what ordinary people could have imagined.

Perhaps when the audience sees this part, they will think it is profound and well written, but Mobius and her colleagues are different. They can only think about whether this path is feasible and whether this theory is true.

The three of them turned their gazes to Yaqing at the same time.

The former leader of the research direction of the Schicksal Zaibatsu.

In terms of research, his teacher was Dr. Maki, a highly authoritative elderly man who proposed the concept of "special energy in the human body."

With the substantial financial backing from the Schicksal Consortium, it's possible that Yaqing has indeed developed some unique theory of time and space.

Thinking of this, the three of Mobius looked on with suspicion.

Yaqing felt helpless.

He's just a lousy script plagiarist, what does he know about Honkai? What does he know about Tree and Sea?

If you were to explain the relationship between trees and the sea to Mobius using scientific knowledge, what would be the point of his third section if it were merely about entertainment? Wouldn't it be better to focus directly on scientific development?

"Yaqing, you haven't figured out anything, have you?" Mobius couldn't help but ask.

Vill-V and May also perked up their ears.

"No, that's not true. It's just a setting I made up," Yaqing said helplessly.

From Mobius's eyes, Yaqing could tell that she didn't believe it.

The scene of Otto and Kevin's meeting reappeared on the screen. They obtained the beacon, and Otto wanted to make the Second Divine Key show its value immediately, but activation required a large amount of Honkai energy.

The most suitable place Otto could think of was Changkong City, the place where the Third Honkai Eruption occurred, the singularity of the imaginary number, which continued to release Honkai energy even after the Third Herrscher fell into slumber.

Kevin got up and left, and as he took a step, the golden light dimmed instantly.

"Kevin Kaslana, I believe that today's meeting has profound significance for you and me, and for the whole world."

"—A toast to the union of Schicksal and the serpent."

Otto's tone was no longer as lighthearted as usual; it had become quite deep.

Kiana had just returned to Changkong City when Otto also launched his experiment Changkong City. All these coincidences combined gave the audience the feeling that Otto was doing it on purpose.

However, Kiana wanted to go back on her own, Otto wanted to conduct experiments in Changkong City because of the Imaginary Singularity left behind by the Third Honkai Eruption.

"That wretched Otto."

Even though they knew it was all a coincidence, or even just for the sake of the plot, the audience still couldn't help but want to criticize Otto.

Chapter 258 How can Sweet Pepper Curry be spicy?

The scene returns to the Helios. Mei, who had just been crying, acts as if nothing happened, as if she had just returned from outside. After meeting Tesla, she goes to the kitchen.

Mei brought a bowl of Sweet Pepper Curry to the ward.

Kiana sat up straight on the hospital bed and began to wolf down her food.

"Ah... delicious! How can it be so delicious!"

Seeing Kiana eating as usual, Mei's eyes were full of doting affection, and her pretty face wore a smile, hiding her sadness in her heart.

Soon, the entire Sweet Pepper Curry was gone from Kiana's stomach, not even a drop of juice was left.

"It's been so long since I've tasted such a delightful and memorable flavor," Kiana said, patting her stomach with satisfaction. "Ah—this refreshing feeling, this just-right spiciness, Mei's cooking is definitely the best for me!"

Seeing Kiana eating so deliciously, the audience couldn't help but swallow hard, especially when Elysia Little Void Sweet Pepper Curry earlier in the story, they couldn't resist wanting to try it.

"Kalpas ~"

"Knew."

Kalpas replied irritably, while also having some doubts in his mind. As a five-star chef, he had never heard of spicy Sweet Pepper Curry. Could it be a cooking method he had never heard of before?

Kalpas looked at Raiden Mei's back.

This woman is posing a threat to his cooking skills.

Treat chefs like warriors, and the kitchen like a battlefield.

This is Kalpas's pride as a warrior.

Mei's smile froze for a moment, then quickly returned, but there was a sense of forced smile in it, as if she were putting on a brave face.

Kiana seemed oblivious to Mei's expression and continued to put on a smiling face.

"No, no! The spiciness is just right. I sweat while eating it, which is very comfortable. I like it very much."

Mei put away the tray, letting Kiana rest, and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. The running water slid over her tissues, tears dripped onto the back of her hand, and she sobbed softly.

After washing the bowls and preparing to put them in the cupboard, I accidentally bumped into a wooden bowl next to me, and a few small items fell to the ground—sweet peppers for making Sweet Pepper Curry.

The air fell silent at that moment.

Mei walked out of the kitchen. The dark corridor was quiet. She looked at the flickering light in the infirmary, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Fool..."

She turned around and walked towards the darkness, tears streaming down her face, her sobs echoing in the corridor.

"Sweet Pepper Curry... how could it possibly be spicy..."

Elysia, who was eating popcorn, was stunned.

Not only her, but everyone in the Golden Courtyard was stunned.

Recalling the month they ate Sweet Pepper Curry, and seeing Mei's choked-up words, they felt a mix of emotions.

Mobius glared fiercely at Yaqing.

You know, for the past few months, they've been eating Sweet Pepper Curry every time they go out shopping. All those wonderful memories have vanished. If Mobius ever eats Sweet Pepper Curry again, he probably won't think of those beautiful dates. And that reminds me of this.

Sweet Pepper Curry... how can it be spicy?

I was stunned.

The audience watching the movie were stunned.

I was planning to eat Little Void Sweet Pepper Curry Sweet Pepper Curry after watching the movie, but now...

They just wanted to kill the screenwriter.

Kiana was unaware of this part of Mei's storyline, which is why she asked Mei to make her Sweet Pepper Curry earlier. Now that she has seen it, her feelings are extremely complicated.

"Mei..."

Mei smiled gently, "What's wrong? I'll make you Sweet Pepper Curry tonight when we get home."

Kiana seemed to see a little devil in Mei. She shook her head frantically, "I don't want to eat Sweet Pepper Curry anymore! I never want to eat Sweet Pepper Curry again!"

Mei ruffled Kiana's hair.

And in the back row.

"Hey, Elysia, are you making Sweet Pepper Curry again tonight?"

Kalpas was probably also somewhat moved, which is why he asked the question.

Who was the most seriously injured in this part of the story?

That must be Elysia.

Because Miss Pink Elf really loves Sweet Pepper Curry, and once said that "eating Sweet Pepper Curry is a wonderful thing", watching a movie has directly changed her diet.

From now on, Elysia will definitely recall this scene whenever she eats Sweet Pepper Curry.

She held Eden in her arms and cried more bitterly than anyone else.

"Eden, I will never eat Sweet Pepper Curry again."

"But didn't you also buy a lot of instant Sweet Pepper Curry rice?" Eden asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Kalpas's eyes glared at him like knives.

"Um... Pardo, those are all yours."

Elysia paused for a moment, then continued to hug Eden and cry.

"Ah... okay!"

Pardo was still feeling a bit sad, but that sadness was quickly dispelled by the sudden appearance of the fast-food curry rice, and she didn't even notice Kalpas's murderous gaze.

To save Kiana, Mei made up her mind to go find the World Serpent. When she returned to the "nest", she found it empty.

"—You've arrived."

The Raven sat on the roof and hopped down in front of Mei.

Raven led Mei through the dimly lit alley and stopped in front of a gate. Raven let Mei go in alone because Kevin had said he wanted to see her alone.

The iron gate slowly opened, Mei arrived at a plaza. There seemed to be footsteps in the shadows, heading this way.

Mei looked at the person who had come.

"Kevin Kaslana, leader of the World Serpent."

This is the post-credits scene from the previous movie, where Mei goes to see Kevin alone, which worries Kiana. After all, she doesn't have a good impression of Kevin in this storyline, who stabs her in the back right away, except for the real Kevin.

"That despicable Kevin, he actually wants to take advantage of a young girl!"

Kiana was so angry at the thought of the post-credits scene in the previous movie that she started dancing with rage.

"Kiana, Kevin in the story didn't mean that." Mei felt it was necessary to clarify things for Kevin in the story. As a warrior fighting against the Honkai, he shouldn't suffer this injustice.

"Mei, you're actually speaking up for Kevin now? Don't you like your food anymore?" Kiana pretended to be pitiful, looking just like a white cat about to be abandoned.

Mei immediately softened again.

Seeing Mei meet Kevin in private, the audience had a general idea that Mei would join World Serpent, since Kevin had invited Bronya to join him during the Sea of Quanta.

"No way, Mei's going to join World Serpent? Doesn't that mean she'll have to separate from Kiana again?"

Elysia finally stopped sobbing, but watching the plot on the screen and her own speculations made her feel complicated again.

"Better to be separated than for Kiana to die, right?" Mobius said irritably.

Chapter 259 Kevin: I want you / Mei: I can do anything

In the post-credits scene of the previous movie, Kevin promised Mei that the World Serpent could save Kiana, but the price to pay would be herself.

"... I need to know the specific methods, and then watch her get out of danger. If you can really do that, I'll do anything you ask."

That's so weird.

The development has been too fast.

Even Kevin himself thinks so.

If it weren't for the big knife wound in the Sweet Pepper Curry that made May feel sad and not notice the inappropriateness of this plot, Kevin would probably be kneeling down to May right now.

In the previous sentence, Kevin said the price was Mei, and in the next sentence, Mei said she would do anything.

He had only seen this kind of plot development in the seed before. According to his thinking, the following development might be unsuitable for children, but Yaqing would most likely not write the script like this.

Moreover, as pioneers of human civilization, they repeatedly invited Herrscher to join their ranks, and Mei even looks exactly like Kevin's girlfriend Mei. It's hard not to have ulterior motives.

Thinking of this, Su's expression became very strange.

The three men, who have been friends since high school, once again opened their private channel with their eyes.

Su: Yaqing, you didn't write Kevin as a scumbag, did you? Or is there some connection between Mei and Mei, like she lost her memory...?

Kevin: Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Yaqing: Don't worry, I won't write any melodramatic plots. Maybe Kevin invited Mei just because he thinks there's no one in the world who can cook and he's tired of eating instant noodles every day.

"Pfft." Understanding the meaning behind their exchange of glances, Su couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Kevin stared with dead fish eyes.

Pardo asked curiously, "Brother Su, is this part of the plot really that funny?"
