When Danzhu finished dressing and came out of the bedroom, she saw that Gwen, who had been soaking in the bathtub when she left the bathroom, was now sitting on the sofa in the living room like the master of the house, while her sister was sitting opposite her, sipping tea.

"What did you do while I was away?"

Danzhu looked suspicious. She knew her sister all too well. She seemed aloof, but in reality, she was just as cunning as Danzhu.

"I just drank a few extra cups of tea."

Cang Xuan deftly set down her teacup, her movements elegant and composed, completely unlike Danzhu, who seemed to be catching her in adultery. However, the words she spoke did not match her graceful actions—

"After all, I just lost a lot of water, and I probably won't have time to replenish it during the afternoon's work."

"I knew you were out in so much water, how could you be completely unharmed?"

Danzhu, with an expression that said, "That's more like it," sat down to the side with a grin, picked up the tea that Gwen had poured for him, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Let's go, time to get to work. If we go too late, Vita will laugh us to death."

"...

"Gwen, let's go."

Having received a reply from Gwen, Cang Xuan, who had just given Dan Zhu a look that said "give Danzhu more responsibility next time," nodded slightly.

However, before Cang Xuan could get up, Danzhu let out another surprised cry—

"Hey, Gwen, when did you change your weapon?"

Cang Xuan followed his sister's gaze and saw a weapon next to Gwen that was clearly a katana based on its size.

Cang Xuan had seen it before, of course, but she believed her younger sister would ask about it, so she decisively kept quiet and quietly enjoyed the afterglow of this everyday version.

"Didn't you always use those broadswords before?"

Why are you suddenly bringing these little toys?

Danzhu circled behind Gwen, lowered his head, and chuckled.

"Is he planning to get matching outfits with Mei?"

Little Anna can cry, you know...

As they whispered sweet nothings, Danzhu's soft hair tickled Gwen's cheek, carrying the faint scent of shampoo.

"It's not a toy..."

Gwen shook his head slightly, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity, which immediately made Danzhu put away his playful smile.

"Sorry, I was being a bit frivolous..."

Danzhu knew very well that the things Gwen had been sending back one after another recently were not simple; they had a profound history and long-standing significance.

"There's no need for that; I didn't explain it clearly."

Gwen smiled and gently touched that delicate, pretty face, then picked up the broken sword—which was actually just a short section of its Broken Blade —and said softly, "..."

"Could this be considered... a trace of a civilization's past struggles?"

Black Sun, the X of the Void descends, the former Izumo may no longer exist, apart from the unknown Izanami wandering in some corner and the sword in his hand, Gwen Broken Blade may be the last trace left in the world by that sword-making nation.

"I see..."

Danzhu's mood suddenly turned heavy, and the ease he had just felt was gone forever.

Seeing the usually lively Danzhu's somber expression, Gwen flicked her finger lightly on Danzhu's smooth forehead, causing Danzhu to cry out in pain.

"Ah--

It hurts...

"Sister, look at him. He interrupts me when I'm feeling down."

"Oh...

He just didn't want you to be upset about this, right...?

Cang Xuan chuckled softly.

Even so...

Immediately, Danzhu muttered a couple of things and then stopped, having no choice but to pull her older sister along and rush out the door.

"I'm leaving, going to work, I'm ignoring him."

Only after the two sisters left the house did Gwen's cheerful voice reach their ears—

"The passing of civilization is certainly worthy of mourning, but let's not apply it to the present moment—"

After all, I'm here..."

Chapter 700 Alliance Leader Welt, Your Secret Has Been Exposed

"Tch, so vain..."

Danzhu muttered something to herself, but her pretty face shone even brighter in the sunlight—

When she first heard about the passing of civilization, she did subconsciously think of the Previous Civilization—

The "world" where they were born and grew up.

However, as Gwen said, with him around, the Honkai that once plagued this planet is no longer a threat.

While mourning the lost civilization, we must not forget to develop this vibrant civilization...

With cheerful hearts, the two sisters returned to the research institute, and then, as expected—

"Oh, you guys are here?"

Vita, who was observing the changes in the Experimental Subject' data, suddenly narrowed her bright eyes into slits, her playful voice full of teasing and mockery.

"I even clocked in for you guys, prepared not to see you all all day, and helped you finish your work for today, only to have you all cover my shift for the whole day..."

Meeting the gaze that intentionally swept over her legs, Danzhu subconsciously took a half step back. A burning sensation seemed to sweep over her calves, reminding her of the light and airy feeling in her body. Her pretty face blushed involuntarily.

"..."

After glancing at his shameful little sister, Cang Xuan had no choice but to speak up—

"Thanks to Vita's help, I've secured my perfect attendance record for this month. If you need to take a day off in a couple of days, I'll clock you in for you—"

As he spoke, Cang Xuan paused, then met the teasing gaze and said leisurely—

"Gwen already knows you're behind this, and he'll probably call you in for a talk in the next couple of days. You'd better prepare yourself and get your supplies ready in advance..."

Speaking of which, as a Venusian, Vita, do you and Earthlings have reproductive barriers?

"?"

Vita's pleased smile was immediately replaced by a look of doubt—

"Cang Xuan, what are you saying?"

Why did the topic suddenly shift to reproductive isolation?

Is there anything else that would prove I did it?

Well...

Guess...

Coming to her senses, Danzhu glanced at Vita, who was feigning ignorance, chuckled, and without saying a word, headed straight for the changing room...

In reality, although Gwen was certain that Vita had repeatedly summoned people for him, almost creating a non-existent chaotic scene, he hadn't had time to settle accounts with this unruly little Vita in the past two days.

"You want me to go to Anti-Entropy to find someone?"

Gwen looked at Otto, who had a warm smile but dark circles under his eyes, and pointed to himself.

"Yes, that's right."

Otto nodded and calmly took a sip of his coffee.

"Now that Kiana has been left in that world by you, you're the only one who can contact her there without alerting anyone and still gain their trust—"

Consider it a surprise for Kiana and Mei, how about it?

"As expected of you, you make me do the work but act like I'm the one who's getting the best deal."

Gwen shrugged and leaned back in his chair.

"After all, you kidnapped someone's daughter, you should at least offer some compensation—"

Otto said with a chuckle.

"You defeated me, the shadow that looms over the entire world, and brought true freedom and peace to the world. How about that?"

"Are you also an American liberal fighter?"

Gwen rolled his eyes at the unreliable Otto in front of him.

"Liberal fighter..."

Oh..."

Otto scoffed, clearly not interested in the group Gwen was talking about.

But--

"The target this time is those liberal fighters—"

As he spoke, Otto tossed several hard drives to Gwen—

"Take this. Inside are the dirty secrets of those liberal fighters who resisted me, this tyrant."

There are some from this side, and some from that side.

This is something I hastily compiled at noon; it's not very comprehensive, but it should be enough to convince those idealists in the Anti-Entropy.

"Are you planning to take action against those troublemakers?"

Gwen put the hard drive away and asked curiously.

"What's the point of keeping them around?"

Otto rested his arms on the table, a playful smile on his face.

"When Dr. Nancy bought the North American branch from me, wasn't it to create an organization that would dedicate all its efforts to fighting the Honkai and safeguarding the future of humanity?"

These insects couldn't do such a thing.

"If you're talking about this, then I... cough... I mean, Einstein and Dr. Tesla, those old guard, should be able to be persuaded."

Upon hearing that something big was about to happen, Gwen immediately perked up—

"After all, they are all Dr. Nancy's most important fans."

"No, if Princess Nancy were still alive, Tesla would definitely be arguing with her every other day."

Otto said with a chuckle.

"As for the reformers—"

Gwen tapped his fingertips on the table—

"Most of it is probably on the hard drive you gave me, right?"

"Too few."

Otto laughed.

"Ha, just as I expected."

Gwen knowingly, got up to go to Anti-Entropy, but then stopped in his tracks—

"By the way, to convince them, we might need to expose your long-held secret. If you mind, I can try to find another reason."

"No need."

Otto smiled and waved his hand—

"Lies need more lies to cover them up; just tell the truth."

By the way, even if Dr. Tesla and the others still have some personal grievances against me, and want to use my death as a condition for their consent, that's fine too—

Oh...

"Being able to use my life as the foundation for a new world is more than worth it..."

"Your life isn't that cheap."
