He had also learned how Anti-Entropy had deceived him, packaged itself, and spun stories.
But none of that was an excuse.
No matter what, the result was that the old professor had placed millions of people in danger during the Great Honkai.
"Oh, right. It seemed I inadvertently shattered your fantasy."
Zhao Bai turned back and asked casually,
"Destiny is so filthy, and Anti-Entropy's people are even more unbearable to look at. Where exactly is the paradise in your heart? Or are you planning to spend the rest of your life living under a false name?"
"Once all this is done, I'll kill myself."
The old professor's words surprised Zhao Bai. The man was clearly Eastern European. Though they both had "Eastern" in their names, East Asians and Eastern Europeans were completely different.
Why did he want to kill himself?
"Have you considered joining St. Freya?"
"Don't try to trick me. Isn't St. Freya part of Destiny?"
The professor asked in surprise.
"Anti-Entropy used to be part of Destiny too. Take a guess at what they ended up becoming to each other?"
"..."
Zhao Bai handed him one of Theresa's business cards, then stopped there.
He tilted his head and made a call.
"Wife, has the target moved? Where are they heading? What's the destination?"
The sound of typing suddenly stopped.
The other end went silent.
It stayed silent for a long time.
After a while, Bronya asked in confusion, "That was so direct. It doesn't quite sound like you. What happened?"
"It wasn't convenient to call you by name right now, so I gave you a codename."
"Your codename is Wife."
"Oh."
Bronya answered softly, seemingly a little disappointed by that explanation.
Wasn't that pretty good?
