Computational core

Just as Bai Mo was debating whether to find an excuse to run away, he heard a series of intermittent mechanical sounds coming from not far away. The sound was so unclear that he couldn't understand what it was saying. But in the next instant, a figure rushed towards him like lightning.

Hinako Akuta immediately came to him, cautiously, as if she were looking after an old man who was about to die.

Bai Mo slapped himself across the face, at a loss for words when it came to this woman. You could call her loyal, but she wanted a substitute to live on for life; you could call her unfaithful, but even in her current state, she still couldn't forget Xiang Yu.

Although this isn't a good thing.

Xu Fu, standing to the side, nudged Bai Mo's waist, gesturing for him to lean closer and whisper:

"Boss, do you have any way to persuade Lady Yu to change his mind?"

"Didn't you approve of them? Why have you changed your mind now?"

"My acceptance of them is based on the premise that Xiang Yu will make Lady Yu happy, but what has this guy done? He even hit her in front of me! This kind of man should be thrown away as soon as possible."

And in the end, the inside story of the Chu-Han Contention was actually like this...

Yesterday he wreaked havoc on the Chu for some damn ideal, who knows if he'll hurt Lady Yu again in the future... and he already has! This kind of man is unacceptable. For Lady Yu's sake, even if I get scolded to death, I will deal with this guy!"

Seeing Xu Fu's loyal and righteous expression, Bai Mo's lips twitched.

"I'm sorry, I don't know much about matters between men and women. You should find someone more knowledgeable."

Bai Mo refused without hesitation. He didn't want to get involved in this mess. He even regretted letting Arcueid be an advisor to Chaldea this time.

Hinako Akuta's views on love had an immeasurable negative impact on her.

Seeing that Bai Mo had no intention of getting involved, Xu Fu tried to persuade her with all his might. Suddenly, a hand pressed down on her shoulder, and Ritsuka pulled Xu Fu away with a subtle expression. Then, the two began a secret little talk.

Bai Mo felt he should leave and do something normal, such as discussing some precautions regarding the relocation with the Qin Shi Huang.

Meanwhile, on Hinako Akuta's side, she carefully removed a tube from Xiang Yu's head. Immediately, Xiang Yu's eyes dimmed. Terrified, she quickly reinserted the tube. As blood spurted out, Xiang Yu slowly began to speak.

"Lord Xiang Yu, it's wonderful that you're still here. Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to keep you here."

Xiang Yu's voice trailed off, "I... have something... to say..."

"Yes, Lord Xiang Yu, should I write this down?"

Hinako Akuta quickly grabbed a notebook, and even put on glasses at some point, giving her a more scholarly air. However, facing Hinako Akuta, who seemed like a student attending a lecture, Xiang Yu only spoke haltingly:

"No... you."

Hinako Akuta's hand froze.

"Liu Ji... that guy still around?"

Hinako Akuta felt the pen in her hand break in two.

"He's gone. After the battle, Liu Bang went to Mount Li to visit his brothers in this world, and then left. He's probably back on his throne by now."

Bai Mo, who was about to leave, answered, but was suddenly stopped by Xiang Yu.

"Is this... Mr. Bai Mo? Could you... please wait a moment?"

Do you want me to help you get rid of this?

"No... it's nothing else."

Ignoring Xiang Yu Hinako Akuta, who was acting like the mother hen in the movie "Eagle Catches Chicks," Xiang Yu looked at Bai Mo with his remaining eye. Then, a weak Magnetic Field Power surged, his head opened, and an instrument somewhat similar to the first Qin Hong Dream Creator flew out.

"Please... accept this item. This is the computing instrument of this body. After modification, its information processing... can reach the level of future prediction..."

Bai Mo frowned slightly as he looked at the object in front of him, which was about the size of a baby's fist. Meanwhile, Hinako Akuta seemed eager to reach out and take the object.

Why is this happening? Shouldn't I be given these Relic and instructions? And why is Liu Ji the first person they want to find? Am I only supposed to be third?

As Hinako Akuta thought about it, her fingers had already crumpled the hem of her clothes.

Why are you giving this to me?

Bai Mo asked, and Xiang Yu immediately replied in a broken electronic voice.

"When I first designed it... its sole instruction was... Tianxia peace... but this time... whether right or wrong... I cannot realize Lan's dream... so I have to settle for second best."

I hope you will accept this... Our conflict... is ultimately about the same goal, albeit through different paths."

"Stop, stop, stop talking nonsense. I don't want to end up like you, a murderous maniac." Bai Mo quickly waved his hand, then accepted the item in front of him. He didn't need it, but there was no guarantee that his companions might need it in the future.

He didn't have that "hate everything about someone else" mentality; whatever it was, as long as it could be useful, it was a good thing.

After Bai Mo accepted the gift, the light in Xiang Yu's eyes dimmed completely, and a few golden rays emerged from his body and dissipated. This summoned, Pan-Human History Xiang Yu seemed to finally feel relieved and prepared to leave.

"Wow, no! Lord Xiang Yu, can't you stay? Let me erase your memories, and we can start over!"

Seeing this, Hinako Akuta was frantic. She tried to use her Magnetic Field Power to stop them, but it was impossible. Her understanding was far from reaching the realm of the soul.

Moreover, it's clear from any angle that Xiang Yu wanted to leave voluntarily.

"It's a relief, I guess."

Bai Mo shook his head helplessly. Hinako Akuta, who was standing next to him, glared at him fiercely at his sarcastic remarks, but then quickly grabbed his arm, her words almost pleading.

"Please, if it weren't for Lord Xiang Yu, I..."

"Don't you dare kneel down before me! And even if you beg me, it won't do any good; I don't have the means to preserve a soul."

"No! What can I do to make Xiang Yu stay? I'll do anything I can..."

"Enough!"

Bai Mo, somewhat exasperated, picked her up and, seeing her like this, pinched her ear and said:

"You bastard, do you actually like this so-called Xiang Yu in front of you, or an idol named ' Xiang Yu ' in your heart? You've even gone so far as to use meal replacements and memory erasure. The most important thing for you right now is to sort out your brain."

What you need right now is a therapist, you idiot!

After leaving those words behind, Bai Mo vanished from the room, leaving Hinako Akuta sitting on the floor, somewhat lost and dejected. Bai Mo's questioning echoed in her ears, and she was also questioning her own conscience.

If she had been questioned like this before, she would most likely have felt dismissive or angry.

But after all that had happened, Bai Mo's words struck her like a thunderbolt.

If she truly loved Xiang Yu, then she shouldn't have sought out Kuaiji Type Zero. And if she truly loved him, then she should have accepted everything about him, instead of trying to bury the truth and erase his memory afterward.

Hinako Akuta's heart is being tested.

In Chaldea, seeing Hinako Akuta's appearance, the people who were preparing to greet her couldn't help but twitch their lips.

Ophelia: "This is really troublesome, all this about feelings."

Kadoc: "Why do I feel like you've also suffered some kind of emotional trauma..."

Ophelia rolled her eyes at Kadoc, shook her head, and seemed to want to throw the crazy fire giant king out of her head.

Meanwhile, Da Vinci watched Hinako Akuta with great interest.

"Oh, is that how it's said? Hmm, but the logic is sound, so it's understandable."

Olga Marie: "No, how can that be understood? Did this kind of thing happen often in your time?"

"Our time? It was quite chaotic, you know. It was practically an open secret that priests and monks kept mistresses, and the treasuries of bishops and popes were also filled partly by this 'mistress tax'!"

Da Vinci gave a subtle, old-gentlemanly smile and continued, "Generally speaking, wealthy and beautiful widows like Hinako Akuta, caught in inner turmoil, often end up being taken advantage of by a kindred spirit..."

As Da Vinci spoke, Ritsuka slowly walked to Hinako Akuta's side and said gently:

"Senior, I understand your inner struggle. When faced with incomprehensible problems, let time slowly wash them away."

"You make it sound so easy. My feelings spanning thousands of years..."

"This is it!" Ritsuka suddenly shouted, making Hinako Akuta tremble. Then she grabbed her hands and looked her straight in the eye, saying:

"You've been alone all this time, tormented by emotions, but now, at least I understand your struggles and contradictions. Let me share your burdens. And if you want to see Xiang Yu again, you should come to Chaldea with me."

Until then, please let me help you, senior!

Ritsuka's words were firm and resolute, and Hinako Akuta was somewhat taken aback by this straightforward request. Coupled with her already somewhat confused state of mind, she nodded in agreement.

"Alright... I don't have anywhere else to go anyway, and I still have a room in Chaldea. Besides, let me make this clear, I'm your senior."

"Of course! Senior!"

Looking at the two of them, Olga Marie's lips twitched as she turned her gaze to Da Vinci beside her. She clapped her hands, pointed at the painting, and laughed:

"Yes, yes, that's how they took advantage of our weakness."

Olga Marie sat down in the chair, covering her eyes with her hands, unwilling to watch any longer.

Who are these people...? My Chaldea... what will become of it in the end...?
