"I'm not referring to the thing that caused everyone to fall asleep."

Faced with Schariac's sophistry, Shi Hen simply shook his head calmly, "Indiscriminately scanning everyone's memories will also cause serious damage to everyone's emotions."

"Ha?"

Schariac was completely dumbfounded.

Human emotions are very fragile.

Once the seeds of suspicion are sown, it takes ten or even a hundred times the effort to eradicate them.

Looking directly at the girl in front of him, Shi Hen explained earnestly, "Take Xiaoshi for example."

"If we used the excuse that you might be affected by the Honkai to forcibly lock you in a lab for research, you'd definitely be angry, right?"

"Hmph! I am the Herrscher of Knowledge, who can lock me up!?"

Upon hearing this, Schariac was immediately displeased.

"This is just an example, meaning it's hypothetical."

Shi Hen said helplessly.

"Even assumptions won't work!"

Schariac resolutely defends his dignity as Herrscher.

"In short, once the fact that memories have been probed is exposed, everyone's acceptance of Anti-Entropy will rapidly decrease, and the entire organization will be at risk of collapse."

Shi Hen explained.

Maintaining basic trust in one's subordinates is a principle that any organization must adhere to.

Especially in places like Anti-Entropy, where ideals and beliefs are highly valued, trust becomes even more important.

"Then I'll just keep it from anyone else."

Schariac keenly identified the crux of the problem.

"Someone will eventually discover the truth."

Even someone as skilled at disguising himself as Otto has had everything exposed now, hasn't he?

Shi Hen shook his head.

While the Schariac method certainly saves Anti-Entropy time in finding the mole, the alliance will inevitably have to spend a lot of money to appease the employees' emotions during the process.

In a sense, this is a memory correction technique that is even more powerful than the authority of consciousness.

As a result, this Third Generation will also have to add a meeting with the President of the United States to his schedule soon, so that the other party can give him some more gold coins.

"Hmm..."

Upon hearing this, Schariac fell silent, and after a long while, he frowned and said with disdain, "You guys are too much trouble!"

This won't work, that won't allow it, so whatever you do is her fault?

"Because everyone has their own secrets in their heart."

For humanity, these secrets hold a value more important than life itself.

Shi Hen explained.

Between ultimate social death and dying on the spot, not everyone can calmly accept social death.

"You're not lying to me, are you?"

Schariac looked at the young man in front of him with suspicion.

She's seen all of Fu Hua's memories, but she hasn't seen the other party try to fight her to the death.

"Then, Xiao Shi, would you like to see the secret of humanity?"

Seeing this, Shi Hen couldn't help but curl a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.

"I..."

Meeting the predatory gaze of the young hunter, Schariac involuntarily shrank back, but the next second he patted his chest and said, "Try it then, do you think I'm afraid of you?!"

Even if the boy is the Anti-Entropy Leader, he is still just a mere human being. Why would she be afraid?

"Then... Xiao Shi, you can come."

Looking directly into the girl's gray eyes, Shi Hen smiled and extended an invitation.

"Hmph! I'll show you the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge..."

She pouted and said, "Schariac immediately brightened my eyes, and I activated my power to invade the boy's mind with my own consciousness."

Beyond the surface-level thoughts on various aspects of Anti-Entropy in the boy's mind, the awareness of Schariac continued to delve deeper, soon touching upon certain hidden areas...

Legs to play with for years, big ones are good, flat ones are also beautiful, five thousand years of cultivation, the difference between black and white stockings... In an instant, complex images of the universe, brain, formulas and other things flashed through Schariac's mind, and his gaze immediately became dull, his originally innocent eyes filled with the turbidity of knowledge.

"You, you, you..."

His consciousness receded rapidly like a snail startled by a shock, Schariac's neck and forehead turned completely lobster-colored. He couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"Human thought is just that complex."

Even if you, Xiaoshi, are Herrscher controls consciousness, you can still easily be corrupted by these things if you're not careful.

With sincerity still written all over his face, Shi Hen earnestly advised Schariac, "So, even for your own sake, Shibao, you should not intrude on other people's consciousness at will."

Schariac: "..."

No, didn't you just say that these secrets are more important than life itself?

How can you act like nothing happened?!

"Xiao Shi!"

Seeing that the girl did not answer for a long time, Shi Hen couldn't help but wave his hand in front of Schariac.

"Waaah!"

Sensing the boy's closeness, Schariac trembled like a cat with its fur standing on end. "I... I understand!"

As he spoke hastily, Schariac's figure vanished instantly, leaving only a few black feathers that slowly burned and drifted down in the air.

Due to CPU overheating, this Herrscher, who was only a little over a month old, chose to flee.

Shi Hen: "..."

Although the method was somewhat different from what Fu Hua had expected, he should have taught Schariac a lesson, so that it wouldn't develop into someone like Otto who would attack everyone he met with a Feather of Dust... right?

Chapter 152 The white-haired girl is Training

"Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi..."

In the base's passageway, Fu Hua couldn't help but call out to the Herrscher of Knowledge had suddenly fallen into a daze beside her, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

As Welt White said at Mount Tai Xu, the Herrscher of Knowledge is the Herrscher most susceptible to the influence of the Will of Honkai, not to mention that the Herrscher is currently away from the Herrscher Core and is at its weakest.

Based on this premise, she is particularly sensitive to anything related to the Herrscher of Knowledge, fearing that the Herrscher might do something irreparable under the influence of the Honkai.

"Hmm..."

Coming to his senses, Schariac saw Fu Hua's face so close to his without him noticing. He quickly recalled what had happened earlier and couldn't help but frown. "I can still hear you, you old fogey!"

Have you heard or seen anything strange lately?

Fu Hua asked with concern, a faint maternal glow radiating from her face.

"What strange thing?"

Who do you think I am? An old fogey!

Subconsciously retorting, Schariac unconsciously thought of the knowledge he had gained from the boy a few days ago, and suddenly felt a strange heat rising in his body.

"I'm just a little worried about you."

Fu Hua shook her head.

"Hmph! I am the Herrscher of Knowledge, the strongest being in the realm of consciousness. Who can possibly influence me!?"

Feeling slighted, Schariac immediately puffed out his chest and answered proudly.

Even the strange and unusual knowledge of the boy could be completely deleted if she wanted to.

"...That's good."

After carefully examining the Herrscher of Knowledge and seeing that she didn't seem to be affected by the Honkai, Fu Hua breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"..."

Seeing Fu Hua relax, Schariac couldn't help but feel annoyed again.

Even if she is indeed very capable, if you give up on caring for her so easily, doesn't that make her seem unimportant?

Schariac's gaze swept over Fu Hua's unremarkable body, a whole host of strange facts related to him immediately popped into his mind, and his cheeks couldn't help but feel a little hot.

Honestly, although this body is indeed quite useful, it's really strange to be interested in such a body.

Despite her wavering resolve, Schariac never considered that this was something someone had specifically chosen to ensure she could be sunk quickly.

In fact, if it weren't for their young age, many more advanced positions would appear.

"Xiao Shi?"

Feeling the intense gaze of a certain Herrscher, Fu Hua couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"An old relic..."

Looking at Fu Hua's cold, moon-like face, Schariac searched his memory carefully before asking, "Don't you usually have any desires? Aren't you self-conscious at all?"

Or did you erase this part of your memory?

"..."

Upon hearing these lewd words, Fu Hua blushed and quickly looked around to make sure no one was nearby before angrily saying, "Xiao Shi, do you know what you're saying?"

As she asked the question, Fu Hua's pupils trembled slightly, and her gaze toward the Herrscher of Knowledge resembled that of a single mother whose teenage daughter had suddenly discovered a secret under her bed.

"I know, it's just one of humanity's little secrets."

With an air of nonchalance, Schariac asked, her eyes filled with clear curiosity, "You haven't even tried to do it yourself yet, have you?"

As he spoke, Schariac slightly raised his chin, a strange sense of pride showing on his face.

Although she had no intention of doing this while she was in control of her body.

But after receiving that knowledge from the boy, she was already far ahead of this old man in this respect!

Moreover, she appreciates the beauty of this body far better than this old relic.

In other words, she has crossed the ladder called childhood and reached the other side of becoming an adult!

"Little Shi..."

Taking a deep breath, Fu Hua's expression instantly turned serious. "You, did you secretly go through other people's memories again?!"

From a purely rational perspective, those Herrscher of Knowledge would never be interested in such matters.

Therefore, this can only be the result of the influence of others.

In Setsuna, Fu Charlotte Hua locked onto the suspect as a certain white ball of fluff.

Based on her observations during her time in St. Freya, this white ball of fluff was the most likely person to do such a thing.

After all, there really was a secret hidden under the other person's bed.

"Old fogey, don't make false accusations! That guy clearly handed it to me on his own initiative!"

Upon hearing this, Schariac was immediately displeased.

Is she the kind of Herrscher would casually go through other people's memories?

Naturally forgetting the half-day shutdown of Anti-Entropy not long ago, Schariac felt that he was simply the best Herrscher he could be.

"Xiao Shi, you..."

Fu Hua was even angrier when the Herrscher of Knowledge tried to argue and shift the blame onto others.

In her view, making mistakes is not terrible, as long as you work hard to correct them later.

After all, no one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes.
