In the past, if something went bad, it was Kalpas's doing; if someone got an upset stomach, it was Mobius's doing.

Why is it Kevin's turn now?

"What does this have to do with me? At that time, I was willingly sealed in the Sea of Quanta by Su."

Kevin was indignant; now it seemed like everything bad was happening to Kevin!

"That Stigmata is definitely related to you. It was most likely created by the drug you administered."

Little Knowledge wouldn't listen at all.

Kevin felt shivering and cold.

"Let's not talk about the Stigmata. Perhaps we were all wrong from the beginning."

Fu Hua interrupted their argument.

From the very beginning, Victor's appearance gave the impression of a nobleman abducting a woman, after all, Viktor's eyes were full of lust, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Victor's basement holds a secret: Sasha appears to have awakened Stigmata.

Perhaps Victor never went there with lust in mind, but rather for research on Stigmata, or human experimentation.

"It's terrifying to think about."

Little Knowledge got goosebumps all over when he thought about this.

"It shouldn't have anything to do with Otto, right? After all, Kallen is still alive."

Kevin said.

Kallen is like Otto's inner faith; perhaps only Kallen's existence can give Otto a moral standard.

"Maybe. After all, Victor left after seeing Otto. Perhaps Otto was involved as well."

Mobius waved his hand.

"No... it can't be that bad."

Kevin maintained his own opinion.

As long as Kallen is alive, Otto is unlikely to do anything bad or contrary to the righteous path.

"Kevin, have you forgotten? Otto and Kallen is a tragedy from beginning to end, and the most important thing in a tragedy is misunderstanding."

Mobius was pulled along by Elysia and watched a lot of soap operas with her and Sakura.

The misunderstanding between the male and female leads left a deep impression on me.

Kevin scratched his head.

Chapter 444 The Beginning of the Black Death, and the Misunderstanding Between the Two.

The ending of the previous episode, with Sasha's hand bearing a rune resembling Stigmata in the final scene, piqued the curiosity of all viewers, who immediately clicked to play the next episode.

The story begins with a narration explaining that the Honkai in 1470 triggered a massive Black Death. Schicksal attempted to develop an antidote, but it had no effect and instead exacerbated the transformation of many patients into Dead Soldiers.

Another patient became Dead Soldiers, his heart pierced by a knight's lance, and he was carried away like trash.

The repeated failures dealt a heavy blow to Otto's spirit.

But he couldn't give up, because in his heart, if he couldn't become a great inventor, he would be abandoned again. So, regardless of the drug's effectiveness, he would keep trying until he succeeded.

At that moment, the girl lying on the hospital bed looked at the syringe in Otto's hand, her clear green eyes filled with hope, and her sickly pretty face showed a stubbornness in fighting against death, unwilling to die like this.

"Please, save me..."

As the medicine in the syringe was injected into the girl's body, accompanied by a violent cough, she was surprised to find that her pale, almost Dead Soldiers -like hands were gradually returning to human flesh color.

The girl had just expressed her gratitude when she saw her savior already moved to tears.

Otto said he should be the one thanking her, because the girl's survival meant he had developed a cure for the Black Death, and that would fulfill Kallen's expectations.

"I never expected that the Black Death in history would be caused by the Honkai in the story, but it makes sense, since the Honkai energy capable of anything."

"Mobius said while stroking his dog... Yaqing."

"At this time, Otto couldn't stop thinking about Kallen. Was it because he was devoted to her, or because he was fragile?"

Little Knowledge pouted.

There are people in the world who will overthink even trivial matters or things that have nothing to do with them, wondering what others will think, how others will perceive them, and whether others will distance themselves from them.

"It's probably due to low self-esteem. Otto felt he wasn't good enough for Kallen, so he kept pushing himself to improve, like developing a cure for the Black Death..."

Fu Hua took a sip of the famous tea she had brought back from Shenzhou.

That was what Little Knowledge considered torture; besides bitterness, she couldn't taste anything else.

"From an outsider's perspective, even if Otto couldn't find a cure for the Black Death, Kallen wouldn't abandon him. But Otto was caught in a vicious cycle, constantly suppressing himself. Sigh."

Fu Hua sighed.

Since she met Otto, she has only ever known "Otto 500 years in the future." "Otto 500 years ago" may have existed, but at that time she might not even be a cell.

"It's truly rare to see that even the most terrifying ruler of humanity will have moments of confusion and helplessness. If the Valkyrie in the story were to see this, they would probably find it unbelievable."

Otto's displayed wisdom would likely reassure anyone who isn't on his side or involved in Kallen's resurrection plan.

"Speaking of which, this girl..."

Kevin squinted his eyes.

Flaxen hair, clear green eyes—the more I look at them, the more they seem to resemble...

While enjoying a lap pillow, Yaqing suddenly felt several gazes focused on him. He looked over in confusion, wondering why Kevin and the others weren't watching TV and were staring at him as if he were some rare or exotic animal.

"What?"

Yaqing said irritably.

He would enjoy using his lap as a pillow, whether it was windy or rainy.

"This girl is from Schariac, isn't she?"

It was a question, but Kevin used an affirmative tone.

"Yeah."

Yaqing finally got up from Mobius's lap.

Mobius rubbed his numb, throbbing thigh, where blood circulation was poor.

After the girl was rescued, Otto gave her the surname Schariac and named her Elenore Schariac, and she became a Valkyrie of Schicksal.

Eleanor has a very extreme personality. She believes that she has a second life that she received from Otto, so she is willing to risk her life to eliminate any force that may hinder her Schicksal.

Including the phantom thief she is tracking.

The scene shifts to Victor's mansion once again.

The Valkyrie who came to investigate were Kallen and Eleanor.

When the audience saw that Kallen was also among those investigating the Phantom Thief, they couldn't help but laugh.

What's this? I checked myself.

It would be a miracle if even the slightest clue could be found.

After the perpetrators returned to the crime scene, Kallen couldn't help but recall her heroic demeanor from the previous night. Sure enough, her absent-mindedness aroused Eleanor's suspicion.

Kallen quickly changed the subject, pretending to analyze that the phantom thief was only there to steal gold coins, since she was the phantom thief and must know what her purpose was.

To Kallen's surprise, her analysis was refuted by Eleanor.

Eleanor believed that the so-called phantom thief was not just a thief who stole gold coins, but was targeting Schicksal.

Kallen's next words directly stepped on Eleanor's landmine.

"Dissatisfied?! What could someone being protected possibly be dissatisfied with?!"

Eleanor expressed her excitement.

In her eyes, Schicksal saved her, Otto saved her. If it weren't for Schicksal, ordinary people like her would have died long ago, so what right do those ordinary people have to be dissatisfied?!

"I know all that you're saying... but it's wrong to force people to buy Indulgence Tickets!"

Faced with Kallen's reasoned argument, Eleanor snorted and prepared to leave.

Why is Lord Otto protecting her so much?!

As Eleanor left, she thought to herself, and at the same time made a vow.

I will definitely find out the truth... Whoever is interfering with Schicksal, I will kill them!

"This child..."

Little Knowledge was amazed.

"This kid is a bit extreme. If he ever expresses to Otto his desire to kill the Phantom Thief, he'll probably be abandoned by Otto the very next day."

Little Knowledge was being a bit tactful; she only mentioned abandonment, not the more serious consequences. If someone told Otto they wanted to kill Kallen, Otto wouldn't care how loyal they were.

"Speaking of which, does Eleanor actually exist in real life?"

Little Knowledge asked curiously.

Not only was Little Knowledge curious, but Kevin, Mobius, and Fu Hua were also quite curious: was there really someone in the Schariac that was so powerful? To actually go head-to-head with Kallen.

Feeling the curious gazes of the others, Yaqing tilted her head.

"Eleanor... she doesn't exist now, but it's uncertain what will happen in the future."

Yaqing smiled.

The group of people who were laughing were completely baffled. What did he mean by "not now, but uncertain in the future"? Could it be that Yaqing could predict the future?!

Those who remained could not understand the meaning behind Yaqing's words.

If Elysia or May were present, they would probably understand immediately.

Eleanor isn't the main point; the main point is Schariac afterward.

Mobius, on the other hand, was completely blinded by his own involvement.

Central Europe Headquarters.

"Otto, do you really have this little fangirl? How come I didn't know about her at all?"

Kallen said with a half-smile.

"Okay, then, keep it from me with Yaqing."

Otto broke out in a cold sweat, but he quickly realized what he was doing. He didn't know Eleanor in real life, but he knew Schariac in headquarters.

He had absolutely no recollection of the name Eleanor.

"Kallen, I really don't know her, and I can't even remember her at all."

Seeing that Otto's expression didn't seem like he was lying, Kallen was also confused.

The modeling is exquisite, and the surname is also well-established. The character design seems to be very well done, as if it were a character without a real-life prototype.

"It's possible that Yaqing's a junior member of the clan, but we just don't know it."

"Possibly."

The scene shifts to the room of the current Archbishop of Schicksal, where Otto is reporting on his work when Victor bursts in, shouting that he knows who the thief who broke into his house is.

"Victor, everyone be mindful of your position."

Otto preemptively silenced Victor, accusing him of bothering the Bishop with such a trivial matter.

The current Archbishop of Schicksal of Destiny didn't care about the small matter of the stolen gold coins. Instead, he instructed Otto and Victor to speed up the experiments and produce results as soon as possible.

Victor had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.

This plot point confirms the relationship between Otto and Victor, and also reveals to the audience that Otto and Victor are connected to the secret of the suspected human experiments in the basement.

Kevin was proven wrong.

Mobius gave Kevin a provocative look.

[Little lackey, you're still too green to mess with me.]
