Otto isn't stupid.

Only by keeping things hidden and letting Otto take the initiative to solve the riddle will the other party truly believe it.

"Heh, how ruthless, Mr. Gray Serpent," Otto said with a smile, his face still showing no anger. "Then, could you please tell me, who exactly is the true identity of that Anti-Entropy Leader?"

Since they need to wear masks, it proves that they must have an identity they need to hide.

Starting from this angle could be a key to dealing with that [Welt White].

"Aren't you also hiding the origins of that strongest Valkyrie, Schicksal Bishop?" Shi Hen sneered, showing no intention of generously explaining things to Otto. "Even if you changed that girl's appearance, the bloodline inherited from the Great Lord is something you can never hide."

Otto: "..."

Damn it, what does this guy know?!

For a moment, Otto couldn't help but feel a surge of urge to kill and silence the witnesses.

But after glancing at Yae Sakura, who was still wielding the Seven Thunders of Sin's Purge of Purification and glaring menacingly, and Chi You, who was still hiding underwater, Otto reluctantly gave up the idea.

He wasn't entirely confident he could keep all of them.

Moreover, the most important thing right now is still to gather as much intelligence as possible.

"Mr. Gray Serpent actually intends to keep the secret of a traitor who is coveting the position of Lord?"

Ignoring Shi Hen's words, Otto still asked with a smile.

"..." As if moved by Otto's words, Shi Hen's electronic prosthetic eye flashed red, and then he spoke, "Like your strongest Valkyrie, Bai also possesses the same power."

In a sense, everyone relies on Stigmata to deal damage, so his and Durandal's sources of power are indeed the same.

As for whether Otto can grasp this meaning... that depends on his own comprehension.

Kaslana ... Otto nodded slightly, a certain possibility forming in his mind.

If the other party is from this family, then it is indeed necessary to conceal their identity.

However, we still need to test the waters further to find out the specifics.

He had never trusted this guy in front of him who was also wearing a mask.

"So, what price should I pay to get the snake's help?"

Otto asked with a smile.

"Return the Lord to us, along with the core of a Flame Herrscher."

Shi Hen said faintly.

After all, they were after Welt White, the organization's strongest fighter, so naturally they had to ask for an exorbitant price.

At the very least, the Serpent Organization cannot afford to suffer losses openly.

"If things go smoothly, these are of course no problem."

Otto smiled and readily agreed.

If the Serpent Organization still has the ability to collect payments even after losing [Welt White], then he wouldn't mind keeping his promise.

But on the other hand... let's all use our own methods.

"Reasonable conditions".

With a slight nod, Shi Hen flicked his finger to send a signal, and a whirlpool immediately appeared on the river below.

Even without manifesting his true form, Chi You can still communicate with the space within his body.

Although its isolation and stability are not as good as the Stigmata Space that exists in the imaginary number, it is still fine to use as a storage space. This is how Shi Hen's Gray Serpent body was hidden.

Seeing this, Yae Sakura did not hesitate at all and immediately jumped off the bridge into the whirlpool.

"Farewell, Schicksal Bishop," Shi Hen body descending with him. "Also, the relationship between [Kasumikage] and your Saintess Kallen is very pure. I hope you will stop pursuing her."

She's a very important cadre in our team.

Shi Hen sank into the vortex.

On the bridge, the expressions of the Valkyrie the Blade of Immortality became quite interesting.

When they learned that the enemy was a Herrscher, they initially thought it was a normal Anti-Honkai, but now it seems...

Saintess, what kind of storm have they been caught up in?!

Otto: "..."

Once he gets rid of this stumbling block, Welt White, he's determined to take down that stinky fox!

However, before that, we need to use Mimicry: Feather of Dust to modify these people's memories.

Otto glanced at the Valkyrie standing to the side, each with a different expression, and thought to himself.

He didn't want anyone gossiping about him behind his back.

Chapter 224 The boy is still guiding from the shadows.

The space inside Chi You's body.

"What are you planning to do this time?"

Looking at the Gray Serpent -like boy in front of her, Yae Sakura couldn't help but ask curiously.

Although the other party was just seriously discussing with that Schicksal Bishop how to deal with [Welt White], but... this guy in front of me is [Welt White] himself!

"That Bishop Sir was seeking an answer, and I gave him one, that's all."

Shi Hen answered calmly.

Now that the World Serpent has emerged, it's bound to attract attention. He has now answered Otto's questions.

As for whether the other party believes it or not... that's Otto's own problem.

Anyway, once Kevin comes out of the Quantum Sea, he should be very satisfied with his lofty status in this era.

As the other party's most capable subordinate, Shi Hen will make everyone in the world aware of the greatness of Venerable Lord Kevin.

Yae Sakura: "..."

For a moment, she even wanted to mourn for Otto.

But then she thought about how the other person was always ready to kill her, and Yae Sakura silently withdrew what little pity she had left.

In the fight just now, she was quite certain that Otto really wanted to kill her; it's just that she was a bit more capable than he had anticipated.

Although she lacks authority, her Herrscher Core is quite complete, with a Honkai Energy intensity approaching 4000 HW.

With the addition of the Seven Thunders of Sin's Purge, the Third Divine Key, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to consider her a genuine Herrscher.

"Next, Miss Sakura and Chi You, please continue to wait in the Shenzhou region. I will contact you again if needed."

Shi Hen said softly.

Having personally fought Yae Sakura and confirmed that she truly possessed Herrscher- level power, Otto should be able to believe that the Key of Erosion has not yet been born.

After all, who would have thought that a complete Herrscher Core outside the sequence could exist in this world?

"May Your Excellency's military career flourish."

With a slight bow, Yae Sakura spoke respectfully.

Many of her ideas were stuck five hundred years ago; deep down, she regarded the boy as her lord.

"I also wish Miss Sakura a lot of fun in this era."

With a smile, Shi Hen then withdrew his consciousness.

After finishing his scene with the Bishop Sir, he had to head to the next film set.

St. Freya Academy.

Walking along the usual path, Shi Hen's eyes suddenly sharpened.

In his field of vision, a head that was completely hidden was peeking out from behind a large tree not far away.

"Miss Durandal, may I ask what you are doing?"

Looking at the strongest Valkyrie, who was fully dressed in a hat and sunglasses, with only a few strands of long golden hair and a pointed chin showing, Shi Hen couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

"..." Upon hearing the boy's words, Durandal for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Why can you all recognize me?"

Shi Hen: "..."

This Penguin, does it think it's disguised very well?

As expected of a girl from the Kaslana family, even her foolishness is so obvious.

If you want to disguise yourself, at least wear a wig and a mask!

"I clearly asked Rita for advice, how could it not work?"

As if guessing the boy's thoughts, Durandal murmured to herself.

Because she was frequently surrounded by St. Freya's students during this period, which seriously affected her investigation progress, she specifically asked Rita for advice on disguise techniques.

Even though she strictly followed Rita's advice, the situation did not seem to improve at all.

Wherever she goes, she is recognized at a glance.

Ignoring the girl's foolishness, Shi Hen pursed his lips and asked, "Did Miss Durandal need something from me?"

Although they had exchanged ideas several times, his relationship with the strongest Valkyrie was still only average, not close enough for them to get together for tea and casual chats.

"Well, my vacation ends tomorrow, so I have some questions I'd like to ask you Shi Hen."

"Let's get straight to the point, "Durandal said sincerely.

Even though the global Honkai situation is not serious recently, she, as the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, cannot rest indefinitely.

Half a month has already used up all the vacation time she had saved up.

Unfortunately for the girl, her investigation in St. Freya made no progress.

After a moment's thought, Durandal ultimately set her sights on those who had direct contact with [Welt White], such as Shi Hen.

Before the boy, she had already approached Kiana and Mei, but... aside from fighting Kiana again, practicing swordsmanship with Mei for a while, and playing a few games with Bronya and Seele, she still hadn't achieved anything.

As for Fu Hua, the Shadow Knight remained mysterious and said nothing.

"...Miss Durandal, please speak."

Looking up at the deepening twilight sky, Shi Hen said calmly.

Mei is preparing dinner tonight, so it's not a big problem if he goes home a little later.

"How much do you know about Welt White?"

Durandal opened the door to the tunnel.

Upon hearing this, Shi Hen's expression turned ferocious for a moment, but it took him a long time to calm down before he said, "That's a demon, a tyrant, an imposter!"

One day, I will definitely take Mr. Welt's place and destroy him!

The boy spoke in a deep voice, his tone filled with hatred.

"Is it because he killed Alliance Leader Welt Yang?"

Durandal frowned slightly and asked.

"He insulted the name Welt!"

Shi Hen said angrily, as if he had an irreconcilable hatred for [Welt White].

"Hmm..." Unable to refute this, Durandal could only change the subject and ask, "But have you ever thought about why he went easy on you?"

She already had a general understanding of what happened the night Welt White appeared.

The only thing that puzzles her now is what Welt White wants to do to Shi Hen and the others.

Given the boy's injuries at the time, if [Welt White] really wanted to kill them, it would have been a very simple matter, and Yae Sakura would have been powerless to stop it from happening.

"Holding back? That was his way of dealing with the Class President..."

At this point, Shi Hen immediately shut his mouth.

He should have kept Fu Hua's matter a secret.
