The Silent Lord, Polka Kakamond! / Tingyun's Choice-Petite Tingyun

"Well, Asta, you've helped me so much, how could it not succeed?"

Meeting the girl's expectant eyes, Gwen pulled her to sit down beside him, and under the warm light, began to tell her the story of that distant planet still covered in ice and snow.

The two long, slanted shadows stretched out, almost merging into one...

Chapter 898 Silent Lord Polka Kakamu!

Entering the Herta's office, all around was silent, a stark contrast to the usual scene of chaotic data flow and flashing holographic models.

At this moment, it was so quiet that you could almost hear the faint sound of your own breathing. The air seemed to have frozen, with only the faint hum of the instruments running at low frequency faintly heard in the somewhat empty room.

"You are three minutes and twenty-two seconds late."

Herta's cool voice suddenly reverberated in the quiet space, like a pebble thrown into a still lake.

The high-backed chair in front of the control panel slowly rotated, revealing a delicate body that was slightly slender but not to be underestimated.

A pair of purple eyes, seemingly containing the truth of the universe, quietly fell on Gwen's face, their gaze as clear and sharp as thin blades, as if silently questioning him.

Gwen was caught in her icy gaze, and his heart skipped a beat. He gave an awkward but polite smile.

"Cough...

It's only human nature... please try to understand.

Although Herta doesn't usually reside on this Space Station, just by looking at her current frosty face and icy gaze, Gwen was already certain that the genius knew everything that happened last night.

They stole the agent's manpower on the other side's turf...

Sigh... Never mind.

Let's just let her vent her frustration about having her love stolen away.

"..."

Silence spread like a tide. The Herta did not respond immediately, but kept its eyes, which could see through reality, locked onto Gwen.

After a long while, she finally let out a soft "hum," a sound that was not loud, but clear as the shattering of ice.

After staring at Gwen for a long time, and seeing no panic or confusion in his eyes Herta finally let out a soft hum.

"I hope you remember what you said today."

"Certainly,"

Gwen answered almost without hesitation, his expression shifting from relaxed to serious.

"If that day ever comes, I will not forgive myself for what I was like back then."

He understood the weight and meaning behind her words.

While environmental factors played a role in what happened last night, it was ultimately a natural progression of mutual understanding and mutual understanding between the two, and certainly not a momentary impulse.

"Um,"

Upon hearing this, Herta's previously tense lips finally curved into a barely perceptible, soft smile. Her eyes still held a cold light, but the seemingly unbreakable ice had already crumbled and melted from its depths—

"I will remember your words."

Her tone remained calm, but the ambiguous smile that flickered in her eyes gave her words a strange, lingering, and dangerous undertone.

"Then it seems..."

Gwen chuckled, his shoulders relaxing slightly, and he met her gaze with warmth.

"It would be a great loss to the universe if I wasted some of the most intelligent brain in the universe's precious memory."

"Hmph, glib-tongued..."

Herta rolled its eyes at him, not bothering to dwell on the previous topic.

Ultimately, this was Asta's own choice. Although the little girl was young, she was quite shrewd, and there was no need for her to worry about her.

If this weren't such a major life event for Asta, and if Gwen's situation weren't so special, the Herta would probably only have made a brief appearance at the wedding and wouldn't have cared so much.

"I have a slight clue about the situation of the core of the Yaliluo VI star."

Herta quickly got down to business.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing the Herta mention this, Gwen immediately became serious—

The incident on Everwinter Peak was clearly a setup targeting him. Although it failed completely due to the problem with the Star Core's contribution, the fact that he was being targeted by someone, or a group of people capable of modifying the Star Core, still made him very vigilant.

"After eliminating all the impossibilities, I arrived at an unexpected possibility—"

As Herta spoke, she raised her slender arm, and the exquisite staff fell into her palm, pointing to a display stand in the office.

"This is...

One of your colleagues?

Gwen's expression changed—

Only those "geniuses" recognized by the same Idrila could have their portraits placed in the most (not) mysterious office in the entire universe by the Herta.

Being targeted by this kind of person, especially when the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, could be quite troublesome...

With a heavy heart, Gwen looked in the direction the Herta pointed out, and what he saw was a blurry face, like a pencil drawing that had been smeared with a cheap eraser.

Even though her meticulous attire and beautiful figure are enough to warrant being shared, the combination of her blurry face always gives people an indescribable sense of strangeness.

"[Silent Lord] Polka Kakamu?"

Without the Herta needing to introduce him further, Gwen immediately recognized the other party.

However, although he was on edge, Gwen wasn't too panicked.

"But why her?"

Why would this most filial daughter of the Idrila set up a trap for him when she had nothing better to do?

He's not some genius who has even touched upon the realm of cosmic knowledge...

Etc!

A thought flashed through Gwen's mind.

"After eliminating the things you don't understand, she is the most suspicious in the end. However, she has always been mysterious, much more so than Ruan Mei's so-called low profile. We still can't determine her motive."

Herta stroked her smooth chin with her slender hand, equally puzzled by the same thing—

Even though she had come to this conclusion, she was still completely baffled as to why Polka Kakamo would attack Gwen.

"Indeed, there is too little information."

Gwen stroked his chin and said casually—

"There are too many possible reasons, and it's even difficult to determine them."

For example, what's in our heads, or other things that come from it?

Or perhaps... because of my collaboration with the two of you?

Wasn't this Silent Lord supposed to be involved in the downfall of the four geniuses?

"Then she should have come to me instead of traveling all the way to that planet to set things up for you."

Herta assumed Gwen was just joking again, rolled his eyes at him, and seeing his casual smile, simply shouted—

"Silent Lord, are you watching this place?"

There was no response.

Herta shrugged, her mocking gaze returning to Gwen, only to find him frowning, staring behind her as if looking into the far distance.

What did you discover?

Herta immediately launched itself into the air, dodged to the side, and turned to look behind it, only to see the control panel in standby mode.

However, the Herta was aware that Gwen had many unknown and strange aspects, so it did not let its guard down and simply asked questions through the Chat System.

"No specific findings were made, but when you called for help just now, I noticed some strange fluctuations that I had never encountered before."

Gwen shook his head, sensing that there were no similar fluctuations in this space, and his expression relaxed.

"But now, the whole space no longer feels that way; the person must have already left."

"Tsk, to think they could keep me completely unaware, that's impressive..."

Chapter 899 Tingyun's Choice - Petite Tingyun

Herta clicked her tongue slightly, a hint of displeasure in her expression. With a gentle sway of her skirt, she strode quickly to Gwen, extending her small, pale hand towards Gwen.

"Send me a copy of the fluctuations just now. I want to see who can do something like this."

Being spied on in their own lair without their knowledge frustrated Herta, but it also fueled their competitive spirit.

"Here—"

Gwen didn't touch the Herta's hand, but instead pointed a finger at her forehead, sharing the sensation he had just experienced with her completely.

"The one who pops up when you call for the Silent Lord might be the suspect you've identified, or someone with a special relationship to him."

"Perhaps..."

However, we cannot rule out the possibility that this is a deliberate attempt to mislead us and divert our attention.

After all, my predecessors could really give you a headache when they put their minds to it.

It took the Herta a while to process the complex information shared by Gwen before it slowly replied. When it reopened its eyes, its deep purple eyes shone brightly—

Is this your perspective?

That's really peculiar.

Finding someone to settle scores is important, but Herta won't ignore the current situation because of this.

In Gwen's shared perspective, that fleeting, peculiar fluctuation was certainly her target, but Gwen's vision itself was also something the Herta should pay attention to.

"When power is involved at the microscopic level, one's perspective on the world will naturally change."

Gwen easily, showing no sign of pride.

"Or rather, only by reaching this level can we truly observe the world itself, rather than seeing things through a fog or the moon reflected in water."

"Oh...

An interesting statement.

Herta's delicate eyebrows twitched slightly, revealing an expression of interest—

"Can you share your view with me in real time?"

I want to see how you see the world.

The words seemed slightly sharp, but the tone was full of curiosity—pure curiosity about the unknown.

"Certainly..."

Gwen is not going to refuse.

While he was doing things for the Herta, this world-renowned genius would also offer her opinions with her clever little brain, and an occasional casual question could open the door to a new world for Gwen.

However, just as Gwen was about to begin, he suddenly received a message from Nguyen May—

"I'm sorry, it may need to be postponed for a while. Ruan Mei's matter has reached a critical stage, and she needs my help."

Gwen gave the Herta an apologetic smile, and then disappeared before her eyes.

"Tsk..."

These two guys...

The new toy that was about to be acquired had grown wings and flown away, and even Herta couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Ruan Mei.

However, this resentment was short-lived, and the Herta quickly turned its attention to the vision that Gwen had just shared.

Although we can't experience it in real time yet, we can still glean a lot from detailed observation of short slices, which serves as a glimpse into the subject...

Upon arriving at Nguyen May's side, Gwen, who had already learned what she was going to do through the Chat System, immediately threw himself into the work—

The treatment of Tingyun has reached a critical stage. Previously, Ruan Mei had done her best to remove the destructive power originating from the Annihilation Lord from her body.

However, apart from that, the power that had become deeply integrated with Tingyun and sustained its existence was something she couldn't resolve through purely technical means—
