Xu Qi pointed the pistol at Otto and asked,

"What do you have to say?"

"Why haven't you killed me with one shot, the way you did Cocoilia?"

Even in such a weakened state, Otto's voice still sounded strong.

It seemed he was forcing himself to preserve the last scraps of his dignity.

The man was proud—so proud that he refused to let his words sound feeble.

"Because I'm still curious about you. I want to use the last little bit of your life to learn what kind of man you are."

"Isn't it because... you need me to tell you how to revive Kiana?"

Xu Qi's gaze sharpened.

"The world allows consciousness to match a new vessel, but it doesn't allow a vessel to match a new consciousness... In Jotunheim, at my laboratory, you only need to take Mobius there, and many problems can be solved..."

"Is this a case of 'a dying man's words are kind'?"

"No... It's simply that I have no reason to lie to you about this."

Xu Qi fell silent.

"I thought you'd be a more disgusting fellow."

"If I were, how would you make me talk?"

"Although I know you regard her as a failed product, I truly don't believe you feel nothing for the Karen Kaslana I captured."

Even weakened, a trace of gentleness and confusion appeared in Otto's eyes.

"You deliberately let her appear in Wanhaheim, didn't you...? You knew I wouldn't kill her—that idiot whose heart held nothing but justice and righteousness.

"Only when it comes to Karen have you retained the logic and reasoning of a normal person. But that makes me understand you even less...

"Why would you do all this to revive her? You should know that Karen won't thank you for everything you've done to her.
