"Chicken-head, if we're really talking about Xiao Qiao, it's not about me and Joachim, it's about you and Joyce. After all, Xiao Qiao is Joyce's clone."

Tesla suddenly remembered Xiao Qiao's identity and used this as a point to continue his counterattack against Einstein.

Unlike Tesla, Einstein was not silenced by a single sentence. Instead, he retorted, "No, no, no, a child's genes don't represent everything. It's the upbringing that matters. How can someone raised by you and Joachim from a young age not be considered your child?"

"But..."

Seeing that Tesla was about to lose, Welt Young silently raised his hand, interrupting the confrontation, "Um... I'm still here."

"Shut up." ×2

Welt Young immediately shut his mouth.

"Have the Welt family left?"

Mei asked as she returned to the base.

"According to satellite monitoring, the train has maintained normal operation without any abnormalities." Carol looked at the data display. "It is now 310 kilometers away from Saint Fontaine."

Adam expressed doubt: after what happened before, is satellite surveillance still reliable?

Mei, however, felt there was no problem; once the invisible shield was removed, the monitoring data was all correct.

"In short, the search and rescue mission for Mr. Welt has come to a temporary end."

The conversation between the three was overheard by the audience.

There was only one sentence on my mind.

"Something has already happened!"

"Sirin couldn't help but say."

"Adam is the only one who's sober; no wonder he's the male lead."

"What a brilliant 'the train remained running normally without any abnormalities' statement! I'm overjoyed! Otto kidnapped someone right under our noses!"

"How should I put it? We were still too blindly confident in the surveillance data."

The audience initially had some expectations for Mei and her two friends, thinking they would soon realize that something was wrong. However, they didn't expect that everything 'Otto' had done had already deceived them.

"Please help us!"

Kiana was watching a web series on TV.

Mei blushed slightly.

"Mei still suffered because of Otto." Bronya shook her head.

"I feel like this storyline should happen to Bronya."

Kiana complained.

"Brainless Idiot, what do you mean?!" Bronya exclaimed in a panic.

"Overconfidence in one's own skills, leading to blind trust in surveillance data—isn't this a mistake that every hacker has made?"

Kiana's words were not entirely without merit.

Bronya scoffed, "With my technology, no surveillance data can be faked in front of me."

"Look!"

Kiana pointed at Bronya's confident face.

"Brainless Idiot!!!"

In Little Knowledge's live stream room.

Little Knowledge shook his head.

"As expected, Welt still suffered a setback."

"What surprised me was that Herrscher of Sentience's idea was the same as Otto's."

"I also find it unbelievable. When did Otto fall to this level?"

"You guys use really foul language."

Little Knowledge was speechless.

Chapter 290: Knife after knife, knife after knife, the audience is already numb.

After the matter of Welt and his son came to an end, Mei turned her attention back to the mystery surrounding Saint Fontaine, the origin of which was "Aten Magic City".

"The third team's next mission: to investigate the Aten Magic City, gather as much intelligence as possible, and find out the identity and purpose of the mastermind behind it all."

Mei became very serious.

From her words, we learned that reinforcements were on their way, but it would take a long time. They could not delay any longer, and to avoid any unforeseen complications, Mei decided not to wait any longer.

The Schicksal is currently divided into two factions.

One faction decided to resolve the issue as soon as possible, while the other faction decided to gather all available forces before addressing it.

Mei stood in the front group.

Saint Fontaine is like a time bomb, and she doesn't know when it will explode. In order to protect the people, she wants to resolve the situation as soon as possible.

"Adam, Carol, it's a promise, right? Our third team must return safely, not one of us missing."

The sudden tension and change in atmosphere made the audience realize that the moment of the final battle was approaching, but listening to Mei's crazy flag-raising behavior, an ominous premonition arose.

"Mei, stop making promises you can't keep, I'm really scared!"

"Not one can be missing, could there be only one left?"

Viewers criticized Mei's act of setting a flag (a Chinese internet slang term for making a prediction or promise).

Through the recordings they left behind, they learned that the mastermind was probably 'Otto' and some extraterrestrial civilization.

Therefore, they were even more worried about Mei and the other two.

With just three people, how is challenging 'Otto' and aliens any different from courting death?

"Mei, wait a minute! Let's wait until everyone's gathered before we start the raid!"

Sirin was thinking of waiting for the other two squads to arrive before going to deal with 'Otto' together.

This is also what most people think.

After all, Otto had left such a deep and terrifying impression on them that they couldn't muster the slightest impulse to resist. This was mainly because Otto's plans were so meticulous that he could basically outmaneuver them to their deaths.

"It's here, it's here, the final battle is finally about to begin!"

Little Knowledge didn't seem to care; he was only excited.

"Little Knowledge, don't you think Mei's side has a bit too little fighting power?"

Fu Hua remained silent for a moment before asking.

"What's the problem? The protagonist's side will definitely get help later on. For example, reinforcements will arrive when Mei is about to be defeated, or justice will be served from the sky!"

Little Knowledge excitedly raised his hands.

Fu Hua covered her face, as if she couldn't bear to look.

"A hero cannot desert his post!"

Little Knowledge picked up the 1:1 replica of the Judgement of Shamash from the room and excitedly waved it around.

Fu Hua simply smiled indulgently at this.

After leaving the base, Mei communicated with Theresa. Mei clearly understood Theresa's meaning, but she also had her own choices.

"I just... don't want to wait anxiously anymore, don't want to rely on others for help anymore, don't want... that kind of thing to happen again."

"Even if it's just for her words—'fight for all the good in the world'—I will persevere."

"I will do whatever is needed. As long as there are people I need to protect, this sword will never rest."

"Leave it to me, Theresa."

Mei didn't address the Bishop by his full name, but instead called her Theresa by her first name.

The audience, who were excitedly anticipating the final battle, suddenly felt a pang of anxiety.

"Mei, explain yourself clearly! What are you talking about?!"

"Could this be a buried knife?"

"Am I some kind of despicable person? Why would someone stab me in the back right away?"

The audience's premonition grew even stronger, and only two people left the deepest impression on them with this sentence.

Himeko and Kiana.

If it's the former, they've already been stabbed once.

If it's the latter, they choose to directly defy Schicksal.

"I have a feeling this is foreshadowing."

Sirin analyzed it carefully.

"Could the Kiana really be dead?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I don't believe it!!!"

"Hahaha, dead, all dead, good riddance!"

"Take him out, another one's gone mad."

The atmosphere was very heavy.

Bronya glanced at the silent Kiana and asked, "You wouldn't really..."

Kiana shook her head and said in a muffled voice, "I don't know how my stinky uncle will write the rest of the story. In his own words, he doesn't know either, but I don't believe it."

"Kiana, no way..." Seele couldn't believe it.

Mei was about to comfort Kiana.

Kiana looked up, a carefree smile on her face. "Well, who can say what the future holds?"

"You haven't changed at all," Mei said with a smile.

"What? I still need Mei's comfort." Kiana snuggled into Mei's arms, rubbing against her round, high breasts.

If Kiana's expression were on a man, it would absolutely be described as lewd.

"Kiana, um... don't do this."

"A woman whose mind is full of dirty thoughts," Bronya complained about Kiana, but she still lingered in Seele's arms.

Theresa entrusted Mei not as a bishop, but as a friend.

It is specifically emphasized that the person is definitely not Otto, so don't worry about yourself.

Saint Fontaine is in ruins, red crystals are scattered all over the city, and even the monsters have been strengthened. After many hardships, the three of them work together to reach the bridge again.

At the end of the bridge, there stood the "Judgement" from the last time the victim had escaped.

After the Judgement was over, Mei sensed something was wrong. Having gathered enough intelligence, she decided to return to the base to reorganize.

The recordings were also collected at this time.

Sirin frowned.

Although Otto repeatedly emphasized in the recording that he was a humble servant of the Sky People, who among the audience did not know Otto's true feelings, and how could he be willing to be a servant of humans?

Moreover, who is the "he" that 'Otto' is referring to?

"Perhaps Otto really is dead, and as Theresa meant, what we see before us now is merely a clumsy imitator?"

Some viewers noticed something was off in the recording.

Although 'Otto' spoke in a crazy tone, as if he were relentless in achieving his goal, and also seemed like a humble servant, the audience still noticed something was wrong from those minor details.

"If it really is 'Otto,' then the so-called Sky People are probably just his pawns."

Sirin nodded. "That's what I think too. I feel like Otto is just using these so-called Sky People."

"No, you are not my Queen. My Queen would never have thought of something so profound."
