This time, the scientific duo from Anti-Entropy entered, along with a brown-haired young man in his late twenties dressed in military uniform.

"Dr. Tesla, Dr. Einstein, hello." As a member of Anti-Entropy, Shi Hen naturally greeted the two first, while looking at the last person with a puzzled expression, "And who is this?"

The young man's uniform did not have shoulder insignia, so he could not determine the other party's rank.

"Hubbard, explain all of this to yourself."

"Move aside slightly," Einstein said coldly.

"I'm sorry, Shi Hen Shihen!" The young man called Hubbard bowed deeply to the boy on the bed before speaking, "It was I who tampered with the intelligence department's information, which caused a serious accident in your mission this time."

Raising an eyebrow, Shi Hen showed a hint of surprise before asking in confusion, "Excuse me... Mr. Hubbard, have I offended you in any way?"

"No, no!" Hubbard shook his head hastily, glancing at Einstein and the other man beside him, then at the blonde woman whose eyes were practically spitting fire. He swallowed hard, then stammered, "I... I heard that you, Colonel, have been getting closer to the radicals lately, so I..."

But I swear, I really didn't mean to hurt you! I just wanted to teach you a lesson..."

"Isn't that more than that?"

Cocolia's eyes narrowed slightly, her voice carrying a heavy sense of pressure.

"Tell me the truth, Hubbard."

Einstein also urged him on.

"At a time like this, are you still thinking of hiding it?!"

Tesla clenched his fist, as if he were about to punch the young man in the face.

"Yes..." With so many powerful figures watching, Hubbard had no more illusions and could only confess, "I think that Honkai zombie will definitely prioritize attacking the children brought by Cocolia's executor, and Shi Hen Shihen..."

If you fail to protect those children, you will surely incur the hatred of the Cocolia Enforcers, and then... you will have no choice but to join our conservative faction..."

As we all know, the Honkai Energy adaptability of Shi Hen is only considered good, and it is incomparable to the extremely outstanding children like Cocolia.

Considering the characteristics of that Honkai zombie, it's obvious who the other side will choose as their prey.

On one side is an invincible enemy, and on the other side is a stranger he has only known for a few days. The boy's response is predictable.

After all, people are always afraid of death.

Unfortunately, Hubbard underestimated the boy's awareness.

Shi Hen is a man who aims to surpass Welt!

Chapter 82 The Welt's spirit Lives On

"Hubbard, you bastard!"

Shouting angrily, Cocolia, unable to bear it any longer, kicked Hubbard in the chest with such force that the young man flew backward and crashed into the wall.

Because of this guy, she almost lost three daughters!

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Not daring to wipe the blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, Hubbard could only keep bowing and apologizing to Cocolia.

"Alright, Ms. Cocolia, the real victim of this incident hasn't spoken yet, so please calm down a bit."

Einstein offered some advice, but did not stand in front of Hubbard.

"That's right, Einstein and I won't let him off the hook either."

Tesla said with an angry expression.

He even dares to betray his colleagues; he's a disgrace to Anti-Entropy. She wants to strap him to a rocket and blow him up into the sky.

"I'll keep an eye on things!" After giving Einstein and the other two a look, Cocolia looked at the calm-looking boy lying on the bed. "Hen, just say what you want to say. I will definitely give you justice on behalf of Anti-Entropy."

Upon hearing this, Einstein raised an eyebrow.

Does it represent Anti-Entropy?

Didn't you see that Tesla and I are still standing here?

Ignoring the infighting among the group, Shi Hen looked at the disheveled young man in military uniform before him. "Mr. Hubbard, I am furious!"

Despite expressing his anger without reservation, the boy's tone remained remarkably calm.

But it was precisely because of this that everyone present could feel the surging emotions, like a volcano about to erupt.

Faced with the boy's anger, Hubbard quickly bowed. "I'm sorry, Shi Hen Shihen, I really didn't mean to..."

"Mr. Hubbard, what you've said only makes me angrier," Shi Hen said calmly, each word crystal clear, "Because you simply don't realize where you went wrong."

"..."

Hubbard looked up at the boy, a look of confusion on his face.

The other executors watched the scene with great interest.

"You shouldn't apologize to me; you should bow to my teammates," Shi Hen said coldly. "Bronya, Seele, Xing."

They were just a few thirteen-year-old children, how could you be so cruel?!

Hubbard bowed again. "I'm sorry, I..."

"But now, you should be grateful for this, because you can still apologize to them personally, instead of just repenting in front of a few tombstones," Shi Hen said, his voice becoming more stern. "What you should really do is thank me, thank me for giving you a chance to make amends for your mistakes!"

"Yes, Shi Hen Shihen, I thank you. Thank you for allowing me to make amends for my mistake..."

He bent down and said, Hubbard was completely dominated by Shi Hen's words.

"Secondly, Mr. Hubbard, I am very sad."

Shi Hen spoke in a calm, almost cold tone.

Hubbard: "Huh?"

No, why are you so sad?

"Mr. Welt said that the so-called Anti-Entropy is to save the world in a way that is different from Schicksal's." Shi Hen said word by word, his face shining with idealism. "Schicksal treats people as tools and ruthlessly exploits the lives of the Valkyrie.

But we are different!

Our combat method is using mechs, where machines take on danger in place of humans!

But your actions today are undoubtedly trampling on the Anti-Entropy philosophy of valuing life! Trampling on the spirit of Mr. Welt!

Hubbard was stunned when he heard this.

Did he really commit such a serious crime?

As if they had heard Hubbard's thoughts, Tesla and Einstein nodded repeatedly.

Look how enlightened this child is! He always puts the concept of Anti-Entropy first.

Cocolia, on the other hand, listened with a gradually strange expression.

While what you said isn't wrong, isn't there something amiss?

Ignoring their inner thoughts, Shi Hen continued, "Radicals, conservatives... are these things really that important?"

Aren't we all united under the banner of Anti-Entropy, fighting against the Honkai and resisting the oppression of Schicksal?

"..."

Cocolia felt she should speak up, because factional divisions were actually quite important.

But after looking at Shi Hen's serious expression, Cocolia thought for a few seconds and then chose to give up.

Let's hear what this young man has to say.

"I don't think radicals are necessarily wrong, nor do I think conservatives are all right."

The concepts of right and wrong are relative.

"What we should really do is choose the right method at the right time, instead of blindly blaming our comrades for their mistakes and turning on each other," Shi Hen said, a deeply sorrowful expression on his face. "I often think about how heartbroken Mr. Welt would be to see Anti-Entropy in this state if he hadn't disappeared."

To become like Welt, you must first think from Welt's perspective.

After a slight pause, Shi Hen continued, "Undeniably, Mr. Welt has indeed been missing for a long time."

But this is absolutely no reason for us to kill each other!

In such a time of crisis, we should unite as one.

We should show Mr. Welt that this Anti-Entropy has not betrayed his trust!

"Well said!" Tesla suddenly spoke, shaking the blue-haired girl beside him, his eyes brimming with tears of excitement. "Einstein, do you see? What an outstanding child he is!"

She had never met anyone with such a high level of ideological awareness.

If those radicals had even half the awareness of teenagers, they would have crushed Schicksal long ago through their Anti-Entropy.

"Dr. Tesla, I see it."

Einstein said calmly, while trying to shake off Tesla's entanglement.

She was also deeply moved by the boy's conviction, but she wouldn't shout like Tesla.

He's so old, yet he has no composure whatsoever.

"Ms. Cocolia, Dr. Einstein, Dr. Tesla." Shi Hen said, looking at the three executors, "I don't intend to pursue Mr. Hubbard's case, but I don't think he deserves leniency either."

My only hope is that, whatever punishment he suffers, he should be given a chance to start over.

"Are you sure?" Einstein asked. "You are a hero of Anti-Entropy. If you want, we can give Hubbard a lesson he'll never forget, so he'll never be able to show his face in front of you again."

This is true.

In any case, the Anti-Entropy should not discourage those who have made contributions.

Moreover, in terms of value, ten Hubbard tied together are not worth as much as one of Shi Hen's hands.

Hubbard: "..."

When you say things like that, could you please try to avoid talking to me?

"I'm sure." Shi Hen nodded, his expression becoming incredibly complex, a mixture of anger and sadness. "I think if Mr. Welt were still here, he certainly wouldn't want to see this happen."

Upon hearing this, Hubbard couldn't help but show a hint of sadness on his face.

Yes, if Mr. Welt were still alive, Anti-Entropy would definitely not be what it is now.

"Alright, since you insist on doing it this way." Einstein nodded after receiving confirmation from the boy. "Hubbard, you know what to do."

"Yes!" Hubbard replied solemnly, bowing deeply to the boy. "Shi Hen Shihen, I will always remember your kindness and never forget it in this lifetime!"

He knew that without the other party's intercession, he would be completely finished.

"Mr. Hubbard, surely you have something more important to do than this?" Shaking his head, Shi Hen finally smiled. "Rather than remembering my name, I hope you will remember Mr. Welt's spirit, repent properly, and strive to become a true Anti-Entropy Warrior!"

A helpful tip for getting promoted: always prioritize the organization's interests when speaking to your superiors.

"Waaaaah! Einstein, I can't take it anymore! How can there be such an outstanding child!?"

Tesla was so moved that he burst into tears.

Einstein: "..."

You can be touched, but don't wipe your snot on my clothes.

Looking at the gentle-smiling boy in front of her, Cocolia suddenly realized that all the grudges she had against Einstein and the others had vanished in an instant.

This child is truly dazzling.

Chapter 83 The Behind-the-Scenes Boss Will Not Get Caught in Shura field

After making a strong impression on the three executive leaders from both the radical and conservative factions, Shi Hen quickly welcomed his third group of visitors today.

"Team leader..."

Seele walked in first, a smile on her delicate face.

Bronya, who followed closely behind, nodded slightly without saying anything more.

"Hmph! You're already this badly injured just from facing one Honkai zombie. You really can't do without me!"

Xing wiped her nose and said, her face full of arrogance.
