The White-Haired Dumpling's Belated Gift

She certainly didn't want to hear any news of students throwing gloves at each other in a fight over boys.

While Theresa and Himeko were having a secret discussion, Shi Hen was also facing his own troubles.

"White Dove, I need an explanation!"

On the communication channel, Gray Serpent's voice was still hoarse and low, but it was full of anger.

Only heaven knows the despair he felt when he learned of the boy's defection.

He was aware of the Third Honkai Outbreak and even spent a lot of time making arrangements for Anti-Entropy, just waiting for the boy's victorious return so that he could push him to the position of executor.

But what was the result?

The other party actually ran away at this critical juncture!?

For the sake of the boy's Anti-Entropy replacement plan, how much manpower and resources did the World Serpent invest in it?

Just when the dawn was about to break, the boy who was the protagonist of the plan suddenly abandoned his responsibilities and ran away.

For a moment, Gray Serpent even considered using Thunder.

There's no way around it, the boy's fighting power is too high, the current World Serpent simply can't beat him.

"Isn't the plan going smoothly?"

Shi Hen asked in return, his tone showing no sign of panic.

He has been promoted to Major General of Anti-Entropy in all his right, taking a significant step towards a higher position.

"You are now a person Schicksal!"

Gray Serpent's tone suddenly became more forceful.

You keep saying you want to become the Anti-Entropy Leader, but then you run off to Schicksal. Is this your path to advancement?!

Although it is unknown what tricks the boy used to get his rank promoted instead of demoted, does it make any sense?

Will Anti-Entropy accept a Schicksal member as its leader?

"..."

Upon hearing Gray Serpent's question, Shi Hen couldn't help but sigh and rub his forehead.

He felt that Gray Serpent still didn't consider him one of their own; he didn't even have that much trust.

After thinking for Shi Hen still gave an explanation, "Based on some information I secretly obtained, I suspect that the former leader of the alliance Welt Yang, is very likely in St. Freya."

The first Anti-Entropy Leader is here, and the second Anti-Entropy Leader has also infiltrated. Is there any place in this world closer to Welt than St. Freya?

"... Are you sure?"

Gray Serpent's anger subsided slightly, but his tone still carried a hint of doubt.

"I'm 90% sure."

He said this, but Shi Hen's voice was filled with unwavering confidence.

But Gray Serpent remained silent for a long time.

Clearly, this reason is not enough to convince the other party.

Left with no other option, Shi Hen could only add, "I've already made arrangements with Anti-Entropy. Right now, the higher-ups at Anti-Entropy are only thinking about how to persuade me to go back."

The files on a personal computer are only a part of the whole.

When Anti-Entropy is able to recover the remains of Alahato in the Third Honkai Outbreak Battlefield and detect some kind of residual special Honkai Energy, the opponent will realize that he has awakened Stigmata.

Using the power of [Gundaluruf], the Shi Hen temporarily reinforced the structure of Alahato, thus creating the illusion of the awakening of the Stigmata.

Given the abilities of Einstein and others, it shouldn't be difficult to see that this kind of Stigmata ability would be the most suitable power for mecha.

Therefore, they will feel even more regret.

This is the ultimate weapon left by Shi Hen.

The documents and materials demonstrate his ideological awareness, while the mecha wreckage proves that he possesses the power to make Anti-Entropy rise.

If Einstein and others didn't see the boy as a beacon of hope, then it only shows that they lacked vision.

"I hope so." Gray Serpent snorted coldly, then added, "Serpent doesn't have many people in Schicksal, but if you need them, I will have them fully cooperate with you."

Since the boy has been given a bit of a stern warning, it's only natural that he should also be given some sweet treats.

The World Serpent still needs the other party's strength.

"I will remember that."

Shi Hen nodded.

He didn't need to be polite to Gray Serpent; that would only make them seem distant.

"Very good." Upon receiving this reply, Gray Serpent's tone clearly showed more satisfaction. "Next time something like this happens, remember to report it in advance, otherwise it will be very difficult for me to handle."

The World Serpent is a large organization. If everyone acted like a teenager and did whatever they wanted, the organization's plans would have been in chaos long ago.

"I'll definitely do it next time."

Shi Hen was lazy and authentic.

The communication was immediately disconnected.

It was the Gray Serpent that struck first.

"..."

Looking at the screen that suddenly went dark, Shi Hen couldn't help but tap his fingers, then activated the power of the Key of Erosion, his consciousness instantly traversing thousands of miles.

At the same time, at the Inari Shrine in Changkong City, Yae Sakura, who was practicing swordsmanship on the back mountain, paused and looked at her cell phone placed on a blue stone.

Above the palm-sized plastic box, a doll-sized phantom image of a boy was appearing.

"Big brother!"

Himeko, who was watching the Miko maiden practice her sword, immediately exclaimed, her face filled with delight.

"Hmm, good afternoon, Hiyomaru."

Seeing the girl's smiling face, Shi Hen couldn't help but smile slightly as well.

"Your Excellency Hen."

With a slight nod, Yae Sakura immediately sheathed her sword and approached.

"Miss Sakura, how have you been?"

Shi Hen greeted him with a smile.

"Thanks to Lord Tuhen, everything is well at the shrine." Yae Sakura nodded with a smile, but her expression immediately became hesitant. "It's just that a few days ago..."

Even while she was at the shrine, she was aware of the Third Honkai Outbreak that had occurred not long ago.

"It's just an inevitable disaster, like the sun rising every day."

Shi Hen said calmly, without saying anything more.

Although she had explained the concepts of Honkai and Herrscher to the other party, the Miko clearly did not fully understand it.

"I see." With a helpless sigh, Yae Sakura's eyes then revealed a hint of doubt. "Lord Hen, you must have something to tell me."

"Yes, I would like to ask Miss Sakura to help me kill someone."

Shi Hen got straight to the point.

Although Yae Sakura's swordsmanship was not yet fully developed, her Herrscher power was already enough for her to resolve most of the troubles.

Yae Sakura: "..."

Isn't this a bit too direct?

Was that person a bad person?

Yae Sakura asked hesitantly.

"He is my boss."

Shi Hen shook his head, not directly answering the Miko's question.

Whether someone is good or bad makes no difference to Gray Serpent.

Because the other party is not human at all.

Yae Sakura: "Why, Lord Nahen..."

"How can I get promoted if I don't get rid of him?"

Shi Hen asked in a matter-of-fact tone.

With the Third Honkai Outbreak successfully concluded, it's time for him to consider how to take over World Serpent.

That way, Gray Serpent won't keep coming to question him.

Moreover, the other party has hung up on him many times.

During the Moth to Fire era, 50,000 years ago, Sakura, in her Fusion Warrior form, killed the Gray Serpent many times.

Now, facing a woman with fox ears again, the other party must be very happy, right?

I wonder how many times Yae Sakura can kill the Gray Serpent.

In any case, once enough Gray Serpent samples are available, Shi Hen will be able to directly penetrate the core of the Gray Serpent network, thereby gaining complete control over all Gray Serpent.

By then, the World Serpent should be flying someone's flag.

After all, the Gray Serpent is the true core of the World Serpent Organization.

As for Kevin... ha, he's just a figurehead, all he can do is hide in the organization's base and slurp up instant noodles.

If Kevin were to actually take charge of World Serpent, the organization's leaders would probably have to eat instant noodles all the time.

"...I see."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Yae Sakura nodded.

Having promised to work for the boy, she wouldn't go back on her word.

Moreover, she trusted the other party's judgment.

So far, at least, she hasn't found anything seriously wrong with the boy.

Therefore, she was willing to become a blade in the other party's hand.

Chapter 165 The white-haired girl's Belated Gift

Bang!

Kiana placed a cardboard box, roughly half the size of a person, on the ground, let out a soft sigh, and asked, "This should be the last batch, right?"

"Yes, there's nothing more after that."

Carrying a cardboard box the size of a schoolbag into the room, Shi Hen answered aloud, slightly out of breath.

More than a week after the end of the Third Honkai Outbreak, as the situation between Schicksal and Anti-Entropy gradually stabilized, Shi Hen and others in St. Freya received an unexpected gift—personal items they had left behind at ME Company.

Since even the Anti-Entropy Headquarters is not pursuing their defection, the personal belongings of Shi Hen and the others can naturally be returned to them.

Of course, it underwent dual review by Anti-Entropy and Far East Branch.

Anti-Entropy was worried about leaking secrets, and the Far East Branch was also afraid that the other party had ill intentions, which is why these things were finally handed over to Shi Hen and others only today.

Incidentally, even Kiana's belongings were mailed to St. Freya, and it was Xing who personally packed them up.

Although she often complains about the white-haired idiot, when it comes to something, the girl never hesitates.

Compared to the things that Shi Hen and the others had, the white-haired girl's belongings were so few that they were only packed in a cardboard box.

After all, Kiana had been living as a wanderer for most of those years, so she naturally didn't have many personal belongings.

So after finishing moving her own portion early on, Kiana enthusiastically helped Shi, who was physically weak.

As the wealthiest among them besides Mei, and thanks to various private investigations and secret tutoring, the boy possessed the most personal belongings.

"Haha, Hen, you really need to work out more!"
