The Blockhead Finally Learns Everything. / Do You Even Know What Filial Piety Means?!

The Herrscher of Reason poked his face, then shrugged, indicating that he couldn't do anything about it.

The others looked at Fu Hua, who was holding the Feather of Dust, which emitted a faint light. Then Qianqi's voice came out. "I can't find where the other part of his consciousness is either."

Both of the Herrscher of Reason were helpless; given the technology at hand, neither Einstein nor his colleagues could retrieve Lin's consciousness.

"Is there really no other way?"

Kiana pinched her arm. She was actually very anxious, but she knew that pacing around in circles like before would not help, so she could only force herself to calm down.

Tesla shook his head. "I'm sorry."

The most frightening thing for patients' families to hear when a doctor comes out of the operating room is "I'm sorry" – the first thing they hear.

Turning her head, Kiana saw Seele and Bronya sitting to the side, deep in thought. Kiana shook her head and cheered herself up. Now was not the time to be discouraged; Lin was just asleep.

"Beep beep..."

The sound of the communication alerted everyone. Welt and Einstein went to the terminal, but the unknown source of the communication made them frown.

At this moment, Prometheus took control of the body, data flowing through her crimson eyes, and she said, "The communication originates from Schicksal."

Schicksal?

The relationship between Anti-Entropy and Schicksal is extremely tense. Anti-Entropy, which once betrayed Schicksal and became an independent organization from its branch, had cooperated with Schicksal before. However, Otto betrayed Anti-Entropy time and time again, causing a complete breakdown in relations and turning the two organizations, which were both fighting against Honkai, into complete adversaries. Later, Otto used Kiana to awaken the Herrscher of the Void, causing a global Honkai catastrophe. Anti-Entropy's actions of taking in the Far East Branch and accepting Kiana pushed the already irreconcilable relationship to the brink of collapse.

It can be said that Schicksal and Anti-Entropy are complete "arch-enemies" and cannot possibly have the same kind of mutually beneficial relationship as the World Serpent and Schicksal cooperate.

At that moment, Schicksal sent a communication, and the first and only thought in everyone's mind was—

What kind of bullshit is Otto trying to spout to lure people in this time?

"Want to connect?"

Einstein asked Welt, "He is the one who truly has the authority, and only he can decide whether or not to speak with Otto."

"...No."

After Welt for a moment, Walter shook his head. In such a peaceful time, Otto was definitely up to no good. Besides, they had other things to deal with. Rather than listening to Otto's nonsense and disturbing their minds, they should focus on solving the problems at hand.

Welt then raised his hand and hung up the call.

Unexpectedly, just seconds after the communication was disconnected, a second call rang out, and everyone frowned as they looked at the persistent communication terminal.

Strange, this is not like Otto's style.

In their minds, Otto was someone who would calmly laugh after communication was cut off, as if he had everything under control, and who had a backup plan even if communication was not connected.

This persistent and clingy behavior is not normal.

Welt then nodded to Einstein and connected the communication.

Instead of Otto, someone else appeared before everyone.

"Greetings, fellow members of Anti-Entropy. I am Bianca Durandal Attagina."

The dashing Blond Knight Princess stood solemnly in front of the communication camera, greeting everyone in the frame.

"Durandal?"

Theresa was taken aback. She walked over to Welt and asked, "Why are you communicating with us? Did Grandpa ask you to do it?"

The girl, though young, was more rigid than Bianca, leaving a deep impression on her with her strength and stubbornness. It was no wonder that she would keep calling even after the call was disconnected. However, Theresa also found this strange, as Bianca shouldn't be communicating with Anti-Entropy in private.

Was that Otto's plan?

But the result was still unexpected.

"No, this is a private communication between me and you all, and has nothing to do with Bishop Otto ... no, it has nothing to do with Schicksal."

"So, Miss Bianca, is there anything I can help you with?"

Welt adjusted his glasses, not letting his guard down around Bianca; after all, she was a member of Schicksal. "If possible, please state your purpose concisely."

"Simply put, I want you all to give my husband back to me."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The room was silent. Welt hesitated for a moment, then tentatively said, "Miss Bianca, you seem to have omitted a lot."

"Hmm? Actually, it's just..."

"Hehe, let me do it, Miss Bianca."

At this moment, another voice rang out from Bianca's side. A maid with gray-gold hair gracefully entered their field of vision. They were also familiar with her. Rita, the S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal and the Vice-Captain of the Blade of Immortality, was more of a headache and a source of more annoyance for the Anti-Entropy people than Bianca.

But what struck them as different was that Rita had long hair for some reason.

"Alright, then it's up to you, Rosemary."

Rosemary?

Hearing Bianca's address and her respectful attitude only made everyone more confused.

"It's a pity I didn't get to meet Mr. Welt and Miss Bronya in the World Bubble, but it's not too late to get to know them again now."

The Rosemary "Rita" revealed the same gentle and harmonious smile as Rita.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Dumb Goose Finally Learns Everything

"Who are you..."

Welt looked at the long-haired Rita with a puzzled expression. He hadn't seen Rita during the Poké Ball battles in World Bubble, since Yae Kasumi, Delta, Moon Underneath, and Himeko were active most of the time.

Welt had seen Stargazer in the World Bubble and understood that since Rosemary had mentioned the World Bubble, she must not be Rita from this world.

"Hehe, you're right, I'm not the Rita you know."

Rosemary smiled gently, her pretty face displaying a composed and elegant smile. "To make things clearer, you can call me Rosemary. As for my identity... you can think of me as Lin's secretary."

Kiana's mind went blank.

It's Lin again.

Remembering that Bianca had just asked them to return her husband to her, Kiana's ominous premonition grew stronger.

"Lin... I see. You were Lin's partner back then."

Welt turned to look at Seele, who should know Rosemary. Seele stared at Rosemary in a daze, seemingly still not quite understanding what was happening.

"Although it took some time, we still managed to find Lin's world. During this time, we investigated the world and then successfully contacted Miss Bianca."

"You still know Durandal?"

"Yes, to be precise, I knew Miss Bianca earlier than you all think, which is why I found Bianca as soon as possible."

Rosemary tilted her head slightly. Kiana had thought that Rita was already quite composed and elegant, but Rosemary actually looked even more poised than Rita. "Then let me explain the purpose of my and Bianca's contact with you all."

"Of course, I believe you have all guessed it, it is related to Lin."

Bronya eagerly raised her hand to ask, "The husband Durandal mentioned..."

"That's right, it's Lin."

Rosemary smiled and nodded.

Seele, Bronya, and Kiana exchanged a strange look.

Theresa nearly crushed the corner of the table. That unconscious bastard had somehow managed to provoke two more girls, one of whom was Durandal! As Kiana's parent, she was burning with rage.

"Cough."

Welt coughed lightly, inwardly criticizing Lin's utterly unseemly private life. "Rosemary, Lin is assisting us voluntarily, and he's currently facing some difficulties. I hope you and Miss Durandal can understand."

"What's going on?"

Bianca's expression changed, and she asked.

After listening to Welt's explanation, Rosemary's expression remained unchanged, and she said gently, "Please rest assured, that was just the Captain's consciousness projection ability activated. He is probably trapped in some kind of World Bubble right now."

"Really? That's good."

The others were immediately relieved; indeed, professional matters should be handled by professionals.

"It's been a long time, Kiana. You seem to be even stronger than before."

Bianca noticed Kiana staring at her with her bright blue eyes, and she returned the smile.

"Of course, I won't lose if I meet you again."

"Let's wait and see."

Rosemary's eyes flashed with a thoughtful light. "In that case, I will go to Anti-Entropy to investigate the Captain's situation."

"Wait a minute, I..."

"Miss Durandal, this is not appropriate from your perspective."

Welt Rosemary first, stopping Bianca.

Bronya nodded in agreement. "That's right, this woman is the Valkyrie of Schicksal, she can't come."

Bianca sighed softly. How could she not know? But driven by her duty, she could only nod. "Then I'll trouble everyone in Anti-Entropy to take good care of Lin. Although we are not on the same path for the time being, I believe we have a lot in common in many ways."

"Let's end our small talk here. I'll send Rosemary the location, but it's not the Anti-Entropy base location. We'll send someone to meet you once you reach the designated location. I hope Durandal Rosemary..."

"I know this has nothing to do with Schicksal. I am only contacting you from a personal standpoint. I will not reveal my location to Schicksal, whether it is this communication or my future position."

Theresa nodded. "We can trust her. After all, she's stubborn and a woman of her word."

After ending the call, the cherry-haired girl, who was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, tapped her arms lightly with her fingers, her gaze sweeping over Rosemary, Bianca, and Rita, who was standing behind her with an unnatural expression.

Delta chewed on his bubble gum and said coldly, "Then let's get going."

Rita's gaze lingered on Rosemary and Delta. She could sense an indescribable aura about both Delta, who appeared aloof, and Rosemary, who was almost identical to her, much like the feeling Bianca gave her.

These two are very strong.

Rita, who had decided to observe the two of them, remained silent, while Bianca said to Rosemary, "Rosemary, I'm entrusting Lin to you."

"Please rest assured, Miss Bianca, we are here for the Captain."

Rosemary smiled nonchalantly.

Delta couldn't help but chuckle at Bianca's sincere expression and Rosemary's look.

"Hmm? Do you have any comments?"

Bianca keenly sensed that Delta was mocking her, so she asked directly.

"It's nothing, it's just that every time I see a girl like you so devoted to that guy... never mind, it's nothing."

Delta noticed Rosemary's gaze, and wisely shut her mouth, putting her hands in her pockets and walking out without looking back.

"Then I'll take my leave now, Miss Bianca. I'll contact you after I confirm the Captain's safety."

Rosemary also took her leave, leaving Bianca somewhat bewildered as she watched the two figures disappear into the distance.

After pondering for a while, Bianca turned to Rita, who was smiling, and asked, "Rita, do you know what that girl meant by what she just said?"

"I know."

Rita smiled brightly.

What is it?

Bianca looked at her expectantly.

"That is..."

Rita looked at the Knight Princess and slowly said, "Through the communication just now, that lady realized that Miss Kiana, Miss Bronya, and Seele all like Mr. Lin, and Rosemary and that lady themselves also like him."

"...ah?"

"Didn't you notice the way those three exchanged glances during the communication? Kiana's aggression towards you and Bronya's resistance towards you."

Bianca's expression was as stiff as a boiled goose as she mechanically waved her hands. "So, that means, they..."

Rita smiled slightly, "You finally understand, Durandal."

"No, don't fuck my husband!"
