"Dr. Mei..." Dr. Mei glanced at Alicia.
Alicia looked at her, then shook her head, indicating that Little Griseo had not lied.
She was the symbol of the True Self, the Herrscher of Origin.
Even though she had yet to realize her identity, and no one had noticed it, she still retained some unique abilities.
Among them was—
lie detection.
She could determine what a person was made of, whether the words they spoke were sincere or false.
Whether they were hiding something, or holding nothing back.
With her intuition, she could sense it all!
Besides that—
Verne the Deceiver had been watching Little Griseo the entire time. Although this was not an interrogation, she had entered lie-detection mode as well.
Because something like this demanded caution—extreme caution.
Although Little Griseo leaned more toward the expressionless type, making it difficult to read her facial expressions—
Verne could still draw on her experience and observe many things with pinpoint accuracy.
And so—
she questioned her.
Verne's explanation was the same.
Little Griseo was telling the truth.
How should she put it...
With Alicia and Verne conducting a two-layer lie check here—
Little Griseo only needed to speak without worry.
Really, it should have been this way from the beginning.
She knew she had to earn the trust of these older brothers and sisters.
If she wanted to save this world in a better way, simply beating the Honkai to death was nowhere near enough.
She was not satisfied.
What exactly was she dissatisfied with...
Perhaps she still could not let go of the Current Era?
If the Previous Era had passed through the Honkai directly, would there even have been a Current Era?
To be honest—
the people she most wanted to save were these older brothers and sisters.
She did not want to be some saintly figure who saved every person in this civilization.
What was more—
not everyone in this civilization deserved to be saved.
If she really compared the Previous Era with the Current Era—
she would instead choose the Current Era.
Thus—
Little Griseo had thought everything through just now.
She knew what she had to do.
Although she looked delicate and weak on the surface, once she made up her mind to do something, she became extremely firm in her convictions.
After all, no one had ever said that shut-ins were incapable of doing anything, right?
The will of her previous life, the longing of her present life...
She knew very clearly what she could do, what she should do, and what would be best to do. That was enough!
She would tell everyone everything without holding anything back.
Including everything that would happen in the future, and everything that would happen to her—she would tell them all.
Because the older brothers and sisters before her were the people she trusted most! There were no exceptions.
Little Griseo pondered as she spoke slowly, calmly recounting what happened afterward at the pace she was accustomed to.
She said:
During the Ninth Herrscher's era, her father died.
Then the Tenth Herrscher descended.
This caused the Moth of the Fire—and even the entire world—to fall into internal strife, creating a severe crisis of trust.
Whether it was Sister Klein or her own mother—
both of them died during that time...
"Huh? Me..." Klein froze for a moment. With his heavy dark circles, even his reactions seemed to lag a beat behind.
His first thought was: I died? Then wouldn't I be unable to finish all my work? What should I do? A sense of guilt immediately welled up inside him...
Bianca was somewhat surprised as well.
Compared with that—
Dr. Mei immediately asked:
"The Tenth Herrscher—what kind of Herrscher was it? What was its Authority?"
