" Ms. Herta, isn't there a lot of Memory Bubble in this Seclusion Zone?"
The Fourth Mirror was shocked. Wasn't this the Space Station of the " Erudition " Emanator? How could there be so many " Remembrance " elements here?
"Heh... I'm starting to get a clue, interesting. We can reveal the answer later... Let's fix the malfunctioning doll first?"
Even without the Herta's intervention, the Fourth Mirror unleashed its power, launching an " Eternity " barrage of attacks on the malfunctioning Herta Puppet.
"Um... it's completely destroyed, but the head is still intact?" the Fourth Mirror said. "These dolls of Ms. Herta are quite resistant to explosions..."
"Don't hit a person in the face, and the same applies to dolls~" Herta retrieved all the damaged dolls. When she was in doll form while developing the " Simulated Universe " with her colleagues, she was bombed quite a few times.
An investigation revealed that the explosive device used by the perpetrator was a bar of soap.
But with a little thought, it's clear that the Tavern's hooligans were stirring up trouble behind the scenes, trying to frame the " Church of Eternity."
As everyone knows, Ms. Herta is vengeful. Most people in this situation would definitely take their criminal tools to the " Tavern " to demand justice.
But who is Ms. Herta? A galactic genius, Emanator of " Erudition "... she has too many titles to list. Just search her on the interstellar encyclopedia.
So she went to great lengths and sent a man in black who loved milk tea to the " Tavern ".
Back to the present, the Fourth Mirror pulled a handkerchief from the broken mirror:
"Phew~ That was close... it almost shattered into pieces..."
"Don't exaggerate. Dealing with an opponent like this, even using a single brain cell would be giving it too much credit."
"So, Ms. Herta, the problems in all three sectors are now resolved? Does this mean...?"
"Before that, we need to take care of a small matter first."
Herta turned slightly to the side. "It seems like we've had a little Tail following us ever since..."
The Fourth Mirror also instantly switched to a combative expression, its tone becoming noticeably colder:
"Your observations are truly insightful, Ms. Herta. Do you need our assistance?"
"Alright, let's call everyone out, Fourth Mirror— "
"What we're doing is so important, we can't let a petty thief take advantage of it."
As soon as the words were spoken, three similar mirrors combined with Fourth Mirror to form a huge energy circle, enveloping a ' Memory Bubble ' within it.
"It seems... this Memokeeper friend isn't very polite."
"You parasite of ' Remembrance,' you don't actually think this clumsy disguise can fool a genius, do you?"
"Once you're reflected in my mirror..." Herta's lips curled up slightly, and Memory Bubble revealed its true form. "... then you won't be able to escape."
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable to her, and facing the Herta's relentless advance, the Memokeeper instinctively made a running maneuver.
"Oh no, this is terrible..."
The Memokeeper's mind began to work, pondering how to escape under the watchful eye of a " Emanator ".
"As long as the green hills remain, there's always firewood to burn... Let's escape the Memory Zone first, and deal with the rest later!"
"Sigh~ It seems some people weren't listening." Herta's figure flashed between the four mirrors. "Didn't I already tell you? With your meager skills... you think you can escape my grasp?"
call out!
The mirrors surrounding the Memokeeper simultaneously emitted beams of light, sealing off the Imaginary Energy within her body.
Having witnessed the Herta's 'methods', the Memokeeper finally panicked, retreating repeatedly and waving his hands in surrender:
" Herta... Lord Herta! What... what do you want to do...?"
"I... I'll tell you everything! Garden of Recollection's secrets, what they're coveting... I'm willing to tell you everything! Please, please spare me..."
Herta shook his head and used his finger to lift the Memokeeper's bound chin.
"Oh dear, in such a critical moment, these are all the life-saving words you can think of? This won't do."
"Need I remind you again? I am the Genius Society #83, the Herta, the scholar who unravels the mystery of imaginary overflow, the key holder of the imaginary collapse weapon... Do you think I need any answers from you?"
"Ugh... ugh..."
The Memokeeper was unable to make a sound.
"A few days ago, the ' Church of Eternity ' captured a thief from the Garden of Recollection," Herta recounted.
"Coincidentally, I just learned from a friend there a few days ago that the thief's target... was the ' Herta ' Space Station."
"Hmm... do you have any leads? Or are you the thief?"
"My goodness! What a coincidence! Ms. Herta incredibly intelligent! How could you have guessed this!"
The Fourth Mirror remained true to its original purpose and praised without reservation.
After a thorough examination, the Herta's gaze towards the Memokeeper became subtle:
"Interesting... You even seem to carry a trace of ' Eternity ' about you. Why is that? The Church deliberately let you go, yet you still risked your life to come here?"
"I'm starting to get Curiosity about you. But don't say anything yet."
Herta raised its hand and covered the Memokeeper's mouth... Seriously, does this guy even have a mouth?
"This is my moment to shine, you just need to listen obediently."
"You infiltrated this place simply to steal the Remembrance of the Nous, didn't you?"
"They messed up my precious ' Audience System ' all to lure me here and show you the way..."
"What a pity, you were just a little short of completing the mission and returning to report back..."
The Memokeeper struggled frantically. "Ugh... ugh..."
"... Just kidding, you didn't have a single chance from beginning to end, hehe."
" The Church of Eternity gave you an opportunity, but you didn't cherish it. Don't blame me for that."
"Don't be fooled by the fact that only the Fourth Mirror is with me; its brothers and sisters have already seen through your every move. Let me think... how should I punish such a daring thief?"
"Oh, I've got an idea! Everyone in Garden of Recollection loves mirrors, right? Well then, I'll do you a favor and let you spend more time with the mirrors!"
"The punishment shouldn't be too harsh... just one percent of your life, shall we? That's enough time for you to reflect properly."
"Don't be afraid. Even if you're hidden inside the mirror, you can still contribute to this world." Herta patted the Memokeeper's head. "That little bit of Path energy you possess might just help me attract the attention of the machine head."
"Oh, I forgot to mention. The one percent I just mentioned..."
"What's multiplied by the lifespan of some ' Eternity ' Emanator is just punishment on behalf of the Church."
Even though the Memokeeper's features were completely obscured, the Herta could still discern the palpable terror in her expression.
"Hmm... looking at you like this, do you think I'm particularly heartless? It's not good to leave you with such a bad impression."
Before punishing you, let me guess how the " Church of Eternity " imprisoned you. Did they lock you in a wooden dungeon?
The Memokeeper nodded honestly.
"As expected... if I remember correctly, one of the cells had a black hole that directly exiled people to the ' Propagation Swarm, ' right? Looks like you were lucky and didn't run into it."
"Alas! Apart from Lir Taha, there is no genius in the world more benevolent than Ms. Herta!" The Fourth Mirror took out a firework tube and continued to celebrate.
"But that's all I'm saying now; it's too late for you to regret it, because..."
"A friend from the ' Church of Eternity ' is on their way."
Herta looked at the Memokeeper again, but hesitated to act, instead covering her mouth again:
Shh~ Listen...
boom!
A streak of light suddenly flew into the " Herta " Space Station. After a flash of golden light, a girl wearing a semi-transparent veil appeared in front of the Herta and the Memokeeper.
"Here's a little hint: This is the head priest of the ' Church of Eternity,' one of the most powerful among all the ' Eternity ' travelers."
