HIA VOL 9 CH51-75

Chapter 51

It was just like a space station in a sci-fi disaster movie that had encountered a problem. The air was sucked out, forming a strong gale. Everything around was spinning and breaking. Countless small fragments flew everywhere, hitting Luo Lin with a crackling sound.

The black-haired Valkyrie remained calm. She raised the miniature Thousand Worlds One Vehicle she had mimicked, and the light spread out, quickly stabilizing the space within several meters around her.

Ana hid in this stable area, looking at the chaotic scene around her with shock:

The zombies and Honkai beasts who had been sent to reinforce were thrown around by the drastic environmental changes. They had almost no chance to attack Luo Lin and the others. From time to time, they were hit by huge fragments of unknown materials and soon disappeared into the shadows.

Soon, the Herrscher of Sentience flew back lightly, looking quite upset. She was holding the sub-body of the Herrscher of Domination, which had a sword in its chest. It lay limp, making some noises on the floor.

"This guy died suddenly, and I didn't have time to stop her. Maybe it was a 'self-destruction order' issued directly by the main body," the Herrscher of Sentience said angrily. "The Herrscher core in her body is still there. I dug out some information about her host from the core and her brain."

Luo Lin asked, "Thousand Fists?"

"Yes, Thousand Fists. She's responsible for selling the 'Ecxtasy', a drug dealer," the Herrscher of Sentience replied, waving her hand. "I found some members of the Thousand Fists who are not in the records of the Coral Island branch. Seeing that they talked happily with this guy, it's highly likely they are sub-bodies of the Herrscher of Domination."

"We might as well call it the Herrscher's Nest..."

The black-haired Valkyrie sighed, took the puppet corpse from the Herrscher of Sentience, and put it into the system warehouse.

"These guys are very decisive in abandoning their own people and running away..."

The space nearby was becoming increasingly unstable, with slender and narrow space cracks appearing and disappearing intermittently, making it creepy just to look at them. Luo Lin touched her chin and said, "It seems that the Herrscher of Domination directly abandoned this space and wanted to trap us in the imaginary space."

Ana looked around, appearing worried. "Senior Luo Lin, how can we get back?"

"Just use the Divine Key," Luo Lin sighed regretfully and used the Mimic Thousand Worlds to open the passage back to the real world. She took Ana and the Herrscher of Sentience back to the door of the suspicious room on the 14th floor of the office building. By this time, the door was already open, and the layout of the room inside was not as strange as that of the Theater of Domination, but it was still a mess.

Luo Lin raised her eyebrows. "What's going on with you?"

Helix was embarrassed and pinched her bangs a little uneasily. "Ahaha... this..."

Time went back a little, and when Luo Lin and the others fell into the "other world," Bronya and Helix broke the door again. They did not enter the Domination Theater like Luo Lin but met the eyes of the Thousand Fists Club members who were "working" in the real world.

Then the enemies pulled out guns of different lengths from various places and fired at the two of them.

"Buzz!"

A huge robot appeared behind Bronya, and the energy shield composed of polygons intercepted all the bullets.

"Project Bunny, fighting mode!"

The girl with silver-haired Helix curls charged through the rain of bullets. The Project Bunny followed like a shadow, crushing several enemies like a tank. Its two arms synchronized with Bronya's movements, waving the shield and smashing several enemies into small pancakes.

"This is still fighting. The gunshots can be heard nearby... Hey? Why isn't anyone reacting?"

While drawing her gun and violently attacking the enemies, Helix complained, but she noticed something wrong halfway through.

It turned out that the Herrscher of Sentience had planted the instruction of [Ignore Abnormality] in the consciousness of the people nearby. Even with loud gunshots on the 14th floor, they continued their lives as if they hadn't heard it.

"Crack!"

A mutant tried to sneak attack Bronya but was knocked away by the Project Bunny, hitting an ordinary human next to it in the process. Due to the impact, the two flew toward the window facing the street.

By common sense, the next second should have been glass shattering, people flying through the air, and splashes of dust and "ketchup" on the ground.

Then, there would be a high probability that people who had not accepted the mental suggestion would pass by this area, finding a pool of bloody mess on the ground, while others around seemed oblivious and continued their own activities. If you think about it carefully, this scene is too scary!

If the Herrscher of Sentience doesn't return quickly to deal with this overly exciting scene, it will be a bit difficult to handle if such a thing happens.

Of course, this is just hypothetical, because after the two broke the glass, they were blocked by invisible barriers. Helix could see clearly that there was a long string of warning stripes and symbols behind the broken window, and the style was too familiar.

"Oh, isn't this the air wall from the game Honkai Impact 3? It seems that my feeling was right; this area has been [gameified]!"

Helix felt more at ease now. She no longer held back her firepower. The drone with rabbit ears hovered in the air, and a barrage of micro-missiles bombarded the enemy.

Her output was so strong that Bronya next to her was startled. "Sister Luo Lin, isn't this a bit too much?"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Haxxor Bunny strolled leisurely through the rain of bullets, and soon she and Bronya had defeated most of the enemies in the house.

"Hehe, it's really an invincible map scene. No matter how much I bombard it, it won't be damaged...at all..."

Helix was planning to demonstrate again but ended up breaking the supposedly "solid" beicks with one shot.

She looked at the broken structure in front of her and broke into a cold sweat. "Ah, is it that the main body and I are done, the activity mission is settled, and the map's invincible protection is over? Bronya, hold back, save some strength!"

...

"That's what we experienced outside."

Bronya summarized, "The suspicious targets have been cleared, and I've extracted all the information from the electronic equipment in the room. It's preliminarily judged to be a drug dealer's gathering den, but the specific drugs are not here..."

Haxxor Bunny added, "I also tried to collect samples of those zombies before they broke. I touched a few pieces and stuffed them all into the system warehouse."

"Thank you for remembering that. You didn't use stronger firepower (like the Hare Rabbit's ultimate move) to blow up the whole building! That's all, a little sample is better than none..."

Luo Lin glared at Helix, who stuck out her tongue, then sighed, "And the situation just now when we fell into the imaginary space. If we were separated and couldn't be rescued in time, we would have become 'space junk' floating in the imaginary space... We have to find a way to solve this."

The black-haired Valkyrie thought for a while and snapped her fingers. "By the way, Gnius! That thing is just right!"

Chapter 52

The Gnius device first appeared in the visual novel "Durandal" and in the main storyline chapters 26 to 28, "Thus Spoke, Apocalypse " It also plays a role in the subsequent finale of the first part, the 1.5 inter-chapter, and some text descriptions of the second part. In general, it is a device that allows users to locate, communicate, and even freely traverse the quantum sea and imaginary space.

It can be considered an ultra-lightweight version of Cosmic Juggernaut. Its overall power is far less than that of the Divine Key, and there are more restrictions on its use.

However, the advantage of Gnius is that it can be mass-produced and is not as rare as the Divine Key, which requires a certain affinity to use.

Moreover, in the game, after being modified by Tesla, Einstein, and Nagamitsu, Gnius can also be equipped with various amplification chips to enhance the user's combat capabilities.

Luo Lin, however, believes that those chips with outrageous effects are unlikely to appear in reality. The remains of the active chip she salvaged when she fought [Chiyou] last time have long been handed over to Mobius and Vill-V for research, but there have been no results so far.

However, if a Gnius device is given to each Valkyrie who is about to perform a mission on Coral Island, even if they fall into the trap of the Herrscher of Dominance and are thrown somewhere in the imaginary space like Luo Lin was before, the Gnius device can provide many survival opportunities for the Valkyries. Later, Luo Lin can use the Cosmic Juggernaut (or even use the genuine one directly) to locate the Gnius on the lost person and then find a way to pull them back.

After returning from outside, Luo Lin reported to the Schicksal headquarters that a batch of Gnius devices was needed.

A few minutes later, Otto called directly via video. The black-haired Valkyrie told Otto about her discovery: "... That's about it. Facing the threat of the Herrscher of Dominance throwing people into the imaginary space, I want to provide more security for the Valkyries."

"Very good, you are indeed a master of the Intelligence Department. It only took a few days to gather so much information."

The blond man listened to Luo Lin's words and nodded with satisfaction: "I approve the application for the Gnius devices. The Engineering Department will manufacture a sufficient number of devices and send them to Coral Island as quickly as possible for you to use. In addition, I will also notify the Muville Laboratory, which stores the Cosmic Juggernaut, to be prepared. If you need it, contact them directly."

It must be said that Otto gives people a strong sense of reliability when he is willing to be a teammate.

Luo Lin hesitated for a moment and asked, "My Lord Bishop, how is the situation at the headquarters? Has the Herrscher of Dominance caused you any trouble?"

"Well, of course, they did, but it's not a problem for us."

Otto shrugged and replied with a smile, "In addition to the targeted scanning equipment, Fu Hua has also dealt with the Herrscher of Dominance before, and those techniques can't escape her eyes at all... However, the information you sent me, Luo Lin, has given me some new targets. I will arrange for my old friend to check the situation later."

Luo Lin breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good..."

At the end of this video call, Otto seemed to remember and reminded her: "By the way, Luo Lin, in addition to the few Herrschers around you... you should also take good care of yourself."

"Thank you for your concern. I don't have any problems here. I have something else to do, so I'll hang up first."

Luo Lin thanked him politely and then hung up the call quickly, leaving Otto on the other side with mixed emotions. "This child, should I say she is too wary of me and doesn't want anything to do with me, or is she too ambitious and ignores the emotional relationships of the people around her... Haha, what a familiar personality."

After all, Luo Lin indeed bears traces left by that person.

The Overseer of Schicksal lowered his eyebrows and touched a paper document on the table with three photos.

One was a headshot of Luo Lin, who had just spoken with him, another was a fragmentary stigmata pattern restored after extensive research, and the last one... was Kallen Kaslana.

She has too many secrets, some closely related to Kallen.

To be honest, the world has gone in a direction that was not planned by Otto: the Herrschers appearing in disorder, the Honkai Eruptions occurring one after another and accelerating worldwide, and the various forces preparing to act... The original cards in the Archbishop of Schicksal's hand gradually blurred.

In the complex web of relationships on the card table, the knot named "Luo Lin" seemed particularly critical. A slight touch would lead to a series of unknown consequences.

However, Otto was somewhat excited. Compared with a path with huge costs and fixed results, the uncertain game before him was really... very attractive.

As for risks, what is not risky? Perhaps it's more appropriate to quote someone nearby - "all or nothing."

At worst, Otto can still take the old road to success that has been revealed by Void Archives from another parallel world!

At this moment, Amber opened the door and said, "Archbishop, Fu Hua is here."

"Yes, I know..."

Looking at the slightly tired Shenzhou girl outside the door, Otto stood up and greeted her: "Thank you for your hard work, friend. Take a break for a while! I have the best tea from Shenzhou here, why not have a taste?"

Fu Hua took off her glasses and looked at the blond man with a complicated expression: "Tell me, what's the news...?"

....

Without pausing to mourn the end of Bishop Otto's video call, several Honkai researchers stationed at the Coral Island branch rushed to the battlefield! It turned out that the efforts of Deputy Captain Wu Fei in seeking out researchers had paid off.

"Luo Lin, I found some reliable scholars..."

Before meeting the scholars, Wu Fei met with Luo Lin first. She whispered, "I asked Miss Sentience to check them out. These people currently have no major problems... At most, they have some small ideas about experimental funds. Their academic level and ability are very good."

"Schicksal doesn't need this little money, right? I know."

Luo Lin scratched her head and followed Wu Fei outside. The deputy captain of the Snow Lotus team immediately introduced, "This is Wilkerson, who specializes in ocean collapse energy detection... This is Qin Maosheng, who has unique insights in weapons research... This is Ying Xianlan... And this one..."

Luo Lin shook hands with each of them to express her gratitude and then led the researchers to the room where the corpse of the Herrscher of Dominance (in a half-dead state) was placed. After a brief introduction, she handed her research report to the scholars.

A few minutes later, the researchers read a few pages of the report. The in-depth and easy-to-understand explanation made their eyes shine, and their desire for knowledge was unprecedentedly high.

"Excuse me, whose masterpiece is this?" a researcher asked in a trembling voice.

Luo Lin scratched her nose: "Actually, I wrote it..."

"Ah?!"

Chapter 53

Hearing this, the researchers were shocked and immediately raised several key questions to verify it.

After all, Luo Lin was wearing a Valkyrie uniform and had an A-level identity badge on her chest. She didn't look like someone who would write such a report.

Thanks to the high standards and demands of Mobius and Vill-V, who constantly questioned and challenged those around them, the black-haired Valkyrie had long been trained to have a "sharp mind and a strong heart." She responded and answered these researchers calmly. Even wearing a Valkyrie uniform, she shone in the eyes of the onlookers, exuding the style of a master.

For a while, a strong atmosphere of knowledge filled the laboratory, overwhelming Wu Fei, who was watching, and almost drowning the Valkyrie with limited academic knowledge who tried to understand what everyone was saying.

After three rounds of questions, the researchers formed their own judgments about the project and said:

"My recent work isn't as interesting as this—I'm joining!", "Unprecedented research—I feel anxious if I don't join!", "It's so cool to have an expert leading the research!"

In short, the situation was very promising.

Luo Lin was embarrassed to admit that she didn't often stay in the laboratory to conduct research. These tasks were usually handled by Mobius and Vill-V. On second thought, those two were more capable; maybe the researchers wouldn't even complain and would be captivated by their leadership.

The black-haired Valkyrie obviously didn't realize that Vill-V and Mobius were so kind to her, but that didn't mean they would show the same attitude to others.

Mobius often excluded potential collaborators because of her reputation, persuading countless partners to withdraw. In the end, there were only a few familiar faces in her laboratory, which spoke volumes.

As for Vill-V, she was so unconventional that probably no one in the world could think like her. Even those who dared to work with Mobius would generally avoid the great magician.

What? You ask how Dr. Mei got involved with these two?

(Pointing at Kevin) (Pointing at tons of advanced research results) (Finally, pointing at Mei herself)

Fighting ability (although this doesn't refer to herself, seeing her wearing the Blankness Key and beating up the Legion Herrscher in the end is quite impressive), academic and technological level, leadership, and courage...

Vill-V and Mobius admire Dr. Mei from the bottom of their hearts. Of course, how they express it is another matter.

Someone with green hair: "I feel... not as good as..."

Great magician: "Not as free... too rigid..."

Mei: "And I'll deduct your research and experimental funds."

"Don't!"*2

Ahem, so, in the end, the relationship between these researchers and the two giants of Fire Moth Research Club will likely be quite awkward, and Luo Lin will probably have to act as a "mediator" and "translator" in the middle...

Of course, Luo Lin hadn't realized this yet. Her face flushed slightly under the praise of a group of researchers.

The black-haired Valkyrie scratched her head, said a few humble words, told them to continue their research, then turned and left the laboratory. She found Wu Fei, with dull eyes, looking up at the sky in the corridor outside.

"Have you finished?"

"Hmm..."

Luo Lin handed her a piece of chocolate as an apology.

The Valkyrie with brown hair and a short ponytail chewed it a few times, and the light in her eyes gradually returned: "Research is terrifying!"

"Actually, it feels okay if you study it in-depth..."

"You really are a Shenzhou Valkyrie!" Wu Fei said with certainty.

Luo Lin laughed and asked another question: "By the way, do you know a researcher named Heathers Tal? Her research should also be related to Honkai energy, right?"

The black-haired Valkyrie saw this person in the event PV that popped up in the system earlier—after all, the characters that appear in the event PV must have a place in the plot, so Luo Lin did a little research and locked on the name [Heathers Tal].

"Ah? I know her. She's a doctor of Honkai psychology and pathology and is indeed related to the corpse we're going to study. She's also in Coral Island, but... our research is related to the Herrscher, and the confidentiality level is very high."

Wu Fei was stunned for a moment, then explained: "As for the people we met earlier, they will sign a confidentiality agreement starting today and then live in the Coral Island branch, temporarily isolated from the world. As for Dr. Heathers... she has some connections with Anti-Entropy and doesn't meet the requirements."

"Is that so?"

Luo Lin nodded, beginning to wonder: This is not only a researcher of Schicksal but also has unclear ties with Anti-Entropy and finally appeared in the event PV. Isn't this the face of an important character? I must visit her later...

Luo Lin chatted with Wu Fei for a few more minutes, then said goodbye and turned to walk toward the dormitory. After she finished her mission today, she returned and spent time with the researchers, and she didn't have time to inform Kiana and the others!

Although Bronya may have already explained part of the mission, Luo Lin thought it would be good to provide her perspective to reinforce everyone's understanding.

The black-haired Valkyrie pushed open the door to her dormitory. Naturally, almost everyone was gathered in the living room. Many pictures taken during the mission were projected in the air, making it look very lively.

"Sister Luo Lin, you're back!"

Kiana greeted her enthusiastically and pulled Luo Lin to sit next to her.

So enthusiastic?

Luo Lin tilted her head in confusion and found that the white-haired girl's eyes suddenly turned golden—Sirin had taken over.

The Herrscher of the Void whispered, "I think something is wrong with me. I need some psychological counseling."

Luo Lin was startled: "Huh?! How..."

"What I detect should be a small problem. Don't make it public. I don't want others to know..."

Sirin glanced at the people chatting in the living room and paused for a moment at the gray-haired and red-eyed Herrscher of Sentience: "Anyway, let's go out for a walk tonight, just you and me."

"Understood."

The blue-eyed Kiana returned to the account, stuck out her tongue at Luo Lin, and then ran away.

Luo Lin's expression turned serious, and her mind raced, trying to guess what psychological issues Sirin had encountered.

This also caused the black-haired Valkyrie to seem a little absent-minded during the subsequent task review.

Everyone assumed she was tired and needed rest, so they naturally let the white-haired girl go out with her.

Luo Lin realized something was wrong and muttered, "Why do I feel like you were mumbling in the living room? With our superhuman perception, it seemed like you weren't hiding anything at all..."

"...It doesn't matter."

Sirin held the black-haired girl's hand and whispered, "Let's move forward."

Chapter 54

This is a park path near the sea. Luo Lin and Sirin are sitting on a public bench.

The night is not bright today. The moon is hiding behind a slightly thick cloud layer. However, under the illumination of the city lights behind them, the two can still see the subtle waves hitting the embankment. The farther away is in the hazy darkness, which seems unreal.

"So, do you feel something is wrong?" Luo Lin asked. "Is it physical, emotional, or something else?"

"..."

Sirin did not answer this question. She stared into the distance. Since she left the house, the Herrscher of the Void has been particularly silent, and her golden eyes are not as bright as before.

A few seconds later, she whispered, "Haven't we been alone together like this for a long time?"

"Have we?"

Luo Lin thought for a moment. "Weren't we just the two of us when we did that [Special Psychological Treatment]?"

Sirin shook her head. "That doesn't count. You were floating behind like a ghost, and not far away was an enemy with super strong vitality, and there's a time limit above your head... Although you can let go and use the Honkai energy to fight, that's definitely not how normal people want to get along."

"Indeed." Luo Lin smiled bitterly and scratched his head. "My problem..."

The Herrscher of the Void complained, "You do have a lot of problems. You're a workaholic, a battle freak, and a research freak. Crazy, if there weren't only 24 hours in a day, you would be busy until 26..."

"This... After all, we are still facing the threat of Honkai." Luo Lin gestured. "When the collapse is over, I will definitely have a thorough and good rest and become a fat otaku..."

"You? Have a good rest? Don't make me laugh."

Sirin rolled her eyes. "I'm afraid you are still thinking about how to solve the problem of Coral Island, solve my problem, and deal with other things... Even if the Honkai is over, you can't have a rest day—you are a guy who can't rest by nature..."

She sighed, waved her hand, and looked into the distance as if she didn't want to mention it anymore.

Luo Lin was getting a little angry. The black-haired Valkyrie stood up and posed in the classic "乆" posture. She raised her arms, clenched her fists, and waved them around. "How is it possible? If it weren't for the Honkai, which takes people's lives, I wouldn't be so busy!"

Sirin still didn't make any other moves and said perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, it's all Honkai that hurt you..."

Luo Lin lowered her head and began to think carefully about whether she was forced by Honkai to the point of "not fighting/not working overtime/not studying will die," but this question floated in her mind for several circles.

The more Luo Lin thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, and the more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt.

So, the black-haired Valkyrie also looked at the night in the distance and repeated in a low voice: "Well, it's all Honkai."

The two listened to the sound of waves coming from the darkness together, and the breeze blew from behind them, making their hair sway.

"Hey, Luo Lin."

"Hmm?"

"Don't stand; it feels weird."

Luo Lin sat back on the bench as she was told and moved a little closer but still kept a distance from Sirin.

The Herrscher of the Void did not hesitate and sat directly next to the girl, leaning on Luo Lin.

"Let me lean on you for a while."

"Go ahead, can I still stop you?"

"Hmph."

Sirin glanced at her faintly, put her head on Luo Lin's shoulder, and quickly raised her neck again.

"It feels uncomfortable this way."

The Herrscher of the Void pinched the place where she leaned just now, with a strange expression: "It feels good, why is it so hard to lean on?"

Luo Lin touched her shoulder. "Did your bones hurt? And you leaned too close; the posture is not suitable..."

"Then change the posture."

Sirin's eyes moved down again, locking a good position. She first sat a little further away, then lay down flat and rested her head on the root of Luo Lin's thigh.

"It's comfortable this way."

The girl with white hair and golden eyes stretched, and her expression was relieved a lot.

"But I don't feel comfortable."

"No matter!"

Luo Lin was a little helpless. She reached out and tidied Sirin's hair. It felt smooth, soft, and resilient, and the amount of hair was also very enviable. It rubbed against Luo Lin's exposed thigh skin, itching.

Sirin raised her head and stared at Luo Lin's face. The Herrscher of the Void knew that Luo Lin never wore makeup because she was too busy and always rushed. She would add the Edge of Taixuan to help speed up when washing.

Even Kiana, who was the most boyish, would still apply some lip balm when she got up in the morning. This was probably to try to cover up the dry lips caused by her staying up late and indulging in games yesterday...

As for Bronya, who stayed up late with her, although there should be no signs of haggardness on her face, she would probably be more meticulous and pat other things on her face.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Kiana planned to run to Raiden Mei with a haggard face and messy hair to act coquettishly.

Raiden Mei had a good upbringing and had already taken care of everything for herself. The process was straightforward, and she had put on all the makeup she needed. Then, she would most likely scold the white-haired ball while tidying up her face and hair.

And Luo Lin... could that be called staying up late?

However, the bad living habits miraculously did not affect the black-haired girl's appearance. Her temperament was still the same. At first glance, she looked ordinary, but the more you looked at her, the more attractive she became.

Luo Lin's skin looked fair against the black hair. In fact, it was a very healthy skin color. Her lips were naturally red without any modification. Her eyes with slender eyelashes blinked, and the brilliance inside was almost the same as the stars at night, full of addictive tenderness.

Sirin was so fascinated that she couldn't help but raise her hand to touch the other party.

But after she raised her hand, she suddenly felt a little... impolite? A little sudden?

So, Sirin put her hand back.

Wait, why should I care about these things? I am a Herrscher! And I have done even worse things!

"Hmm..."

Thinking of that exaggerated and sudden night, Sirin's face suddenly turned red. She turned around and tried to bury her head in Luo Lin's belly to prevent the other party from seeing it.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Luo Lin slightly adjusted her posture to make Sirin lie more comfortably.

Who would have thought that when she moved, her clothes would rub against each other, and a fragrance that smelled like fresh fruit would waft into Sirin's nose.

Sirin, who buried her head, felt that her whole body temperature had risen, and her face was burning.

"...Nothing, let me lie down for a while," she answered in a muffled voice.

Chapter 55

After sitting for a while, Luo Lin vaguely felt something was wrong.

If she remember correctly, Sirin seemed to have some strange thoughts about herself, right? And Kiana is not so bitter and resentful at the moment, and her yuri attribute seems to be quite active, right?

——Am I being taken advantage of?

The black-haired Valkyrie looked down. Although Sirin buried her head in her belly and her expression could not be seen, her exposed ear looked red.

After realizing this belatedly, Luo Lin also became a little uncomfortable.

The black-haired girl forced a calm tone and whispered, "How long do you plan to lie down?"

"Mmm..."

Sirin didn't answer, she didn't answer!

Luo Lin raised her head and looked up at the sky, trying to get inspiration from the moon and stars to resolve the current awkward situation. But after losing her vision, she felt the weight on her legs suddenly increase, the itch caused by the white hair of the ball rubbing on her legs, and the feeling of her breath hitting her abdomen became quite obvious.

How strange! It's really strange!

Luo Lin couldn't help it. She rubbed her thighs and slightly pushed Sirin's head. Unexpectedly, Sirin directly used her neck to force herself to lie on it and refused to get up.

"Hiss... a little, a little too much!"

The black-haired girl took a breath, bent down, and warned in a small voice: "Just enjoy it for a while. We... we still have business to do."

Sirin turned her neck slightly, showing one eye to Luo Lin, and of course, her face was as red as her ears: "Isn't what I'm doing now business? I'm trying to relax my mind and improve my mentality!"

Luo Lin raised her voice a little: "My legs will go numb if you lie down for a while!"

"The physique of the Valkyrie is too weak, right? You are still an A-rank at least. It's impossible for this to happen!" Sirin also retorted in a voice that was not much louder, "And is this too much? It's not too much at all!"

"It's really not too much, I think so too!"

"Who? Wait..."

Sirin narrowed her eyes and paid a little attention to the depths of her consciousness space. Kiana was holding a TV that could observe the outside world, and she was very excited.

"So you were the one who shouted that just now?" Sirin said with a sour face, "I forgot to block you!"

As she said that, she snapped her fingers, and the TV in front of Kiana turned black, and then the Herrscher was ready to turn around and leave.

"No, that..."

Kiana stopped Sirin and said, "I can give you some remote guidance. I see you also want to go further with Sister Luo Lin..."

Sirin squinted at the white-haired ball: "So active? I think it should be related to the fact that I share a body with you, right?"

"Ahem, I'm a gentleman!"

Kiana said seriously, and then this seriousness collapsed after only a few seconds under the gaze of the golden-eyed girl. She laughed dryly and gestured: "Well, I do have some ideas... But that's Sister Luo Lin!"

As she spoke, Kiana laughed: "Teacher, seniority, maternal love, and scarce resources of flat-chested women..."

Sirin had a cold face and snapped her fingers again, directly throwing the silly-smiling Kiana to another place in the consciousness space.

"Now I'm sure that blocking you is the right choice!"

A tiny scream came from afar: "Don't, wow, Sister Silin, after all, we are still in the same body, we share happiness and suffering..."

"So annoying!"

The Herrscher of the Void muttered.

Because they are in the same body, Silin knows everything about Kiana, so she needs to keep a close eye on the movements of this white-haired girl!

Kiana is not particular about this at all. When she was in Saint Freya, she even shouted to Mei that she wanted to "drink sister juice" and touched Bronya...

Fortunately, Meiyi and Bronya treated Kiana's words as a joke most of the time, and their emotions did not develop so quickly and across stages... But Luo Lin is different!

What if this soft, passive, and slightly slow guy is attacked by Kiana with great fanfare and is forced to accept it under pressure?

She didn't want to wake up one day and find that Luo Lin and Kiana were already dating and even slept in the same bed.

Just thinking about this scene made Sirin's head tremble!

"What's wrong, Sirin?"

Luo Lin's call made the Herrscher of the Void return her attention to reality. She looked into the pair of slightly pink eyes and then moved her eyes down to the lips of the black-haired girl.

"Excessive... This is not the end, even more excessive..."

"Huh?"

Luo Lin would soon understand what the "even more excessive" that Sirin muttered about was referring to-

"Sirin?!"

As Luo Lin shouted in panic, the Herrscher of the Void stretched out her arms and propped herself on the bench, letting her upper body lean against the black-haired girl's body. She stretched her neck and her forehead touched Luo Lin's forehead. The two people's noses rubbed from time to time. They could clearly feel each other's breath. There was also air mixed with the smell of another person in their nasal cavity, which made people's heartbeats faster and even a little dizzy.

The atmosphere suddenly became very ambiguous, and even the moon, which could emit some light, couldn't bear it and hid behind the clouds.

After a few seconds of stalemate, Sirin took the initiative to speak: "Luo Lin..."

The black-haired girl's lips trembled: "I, I still think..."

"Luo Lin! Don't run away!"

Sirin's golden eyes suddenly lit up. She used the power of the Herrscher to support her body and freed her hands to press Luo Lin's shoulders.

"——Who am I in your heart?"

"..."

Yes, who is it?

Luo Lin was a little confused. She didn't seem to have thought deeply about emotional issues all along. It seemed that everything would be fine after she could live and die with her comrades-in-arms...

She only needed to solve the Honkai in this way and that way, retire after success, and then... then... then what?

Apparently, someone, and more than one person, intends to go a step further and reach a closer relationship.

Her heart was in turmoil.

Luo Lin opened her mouth and tried to make a sound, but nothing came out, like a fish out of water.

Sirin stared at the black-haired girl, waiting for her answer.

"Enough, Sirin, stop forcing her!"

The Herrscher of Sentience appeared from nowhere, deliberately stepped heavily to approach, and then moved Sirin to the other side of the bench like moving a box.

"Did you see everything?"

The Herrscher of Sentience gritted her teeth and answered, "Humph, no, I just felt that Luo Lin was in a mess, so I came."

The Herrscher of Void was a little annoyed by the disturbance of the treasure, but also relieved, because from Luo Lin's reaction, the relationship between the two was definitely not an ordinary Herrscher and guardian.

- In addition, she just relied on this breath to hold on in front of Luo Lin, and when she relaxed, she also felt that she was a little impulsive.

Sirin blinked and said to Luo Lin: "Um, sorry..."

"I should apologize, Sirin."

The black-haired girl pursed her lips, her expression was weaker than ever before, and sighed: "I, I will think about it carefully."

Senti was angry: "Ah, you are also a blockhead! You are on par with the old antique!"

"Go back, the two of you... Today's rest is over here."

Chapter 56

Although Sirin blocked Kiana's external vision just now, the white-haired girl saw the unconcealed anger on her sister's face when she returned, and she knew that something must have gone wrong.

Kiana, who was on the line, saw the Herrscher of Sentience with her arms folded next to her. She quickly realized that it must be the sudden appearance of Senti that disrupted Sirin's previous plan.

On the way back to the Coral Island branch, Kiana carefully observed the silent Luo Lin and the somewhat anxious gray-haired Herrscher.

The Herrscher of Sentience must have felt threatened and should try to do something after returning.

As for Luo Lin, her heart should be even more confused, her eyes wandering around, and she would quickly move away when she saw Kiana or Senti.

The white-haired ball bit her lips and couldn't help worrying about Sirin, who was hiding in the depths of the spiritual world and autistic.

If it were me, I wouldn't have hesitated so much just now. I would have just A'd it, and then shamelessly lay in Sister Luo Lin's arms and hugged her and wouldn't leave.

Although Senti will probably get angry, it shouldn't be a big problem if Luo Lin is here. With her personality, she will even take the initiative to mediate.

The situation is awkward now. What he wanted to do was not done, and the Herrscher of Sentience also got the initiative of the round... One wrong step will lead to another, and the gap will get bigger and bigger in the future!

"Are you thinking about something bad?" Senti asked Kiana suddenly.

"I'm thinking about how to help... It's nothing, I didn't think about anything."

Kiana coughed violently and then pretended to be calm.

"You'd better."

The Herrscher of Sentience raised her eyebrows: "In addition, this matter has nothing to do with you. Don't get involved."

"... It's still very important."

"..."

The gray-haired Herrscher frowned and she glanced at Kiana meaningfully, raising the "alert level" to the white-haired girl by two levels.

Luo Lin turned her head and looked at the two people. Kiana and the Herrscher of Sentience put aside their tense attitude and accompanied her back to the Coral Island branch silently.

"I'm going to eat something..."

"I, I'll go back to the dormitory first."

After entering the door, the two of them found excuses to slip away at the same time and disappeared at the corner of the corridor with quick steps, but one went to the left and the other to the right.

"You..."

Luo Lin didn't have time to stop them. She put down her raised hand again and finally put her hands on her waist, leaving only a long sigh.

"What's the situation?"

Elysia came out from nowhere and asked the black-haired Valkyrie.

Luo Lin covered her face with one hand: "I, they... should be emotional problems..."

Miss Pink Elf understood. She muttered: "I was wondering why Xiao Shi suddenly ran out while chatting. It turned out that he went to catch you two? Uh, or you three?"

"Don't, I'm confused enough."

The black-haired girl waved her hands quickly and then she suddenly remembered something and held Elysia's hand like begging: "Ellie, can you help me? I can't handle this situation!"

Miss Pink Elf narrowed her eyes. She tilted her head: "Why do you think I can help?"

"You are the omnipotent Miss Pink Elf!"

"Ah~?"

Elysia raised her index finger and pointed it at her lips: "But I've never encountered this situation!"

Luo Lin widened her eyes: "No?! With your personality and appearance..."

"Really not. My relationship with everyone is so deep and reliable, so there won't be any problems!"

Miss Pink Elf paused and said: "I think you just need to be sincere and it will be fine! Beautiful girls can do anything! I believe in you, Luo Lin!"

"I think this is nonsense!"

"But isn't it right?"

Elysia and Luo Lin looked at each other and blinked, which made the black-haired girl feel weak.

"Can I hide at your place tonight?"

Ellie answered decisively: "No!"

"...Okay, then I'll continue to work."

Luo Lin rubbed her face hard a few times, trying to rub off all the fatigue and helplessness on her face, and left in a hurry.

"You, you..."

Elysia looked at Luo Lin's back, feeling helpless.

Late at night, Luo Lin returned to her dormitory. She looked at another room and saw a human-shaped bulge on the bed. She could vaguely see gray hair sticking out from the edge of the quilt.

The black-haired Valkyrie didn't know what to say. She could only put a few snacks that Senti liked on the table, then returned to her room and went to the system space to continue working.

"Helix, Helix!"

"Don't shout. I'm helping Dr. Mobius and sorting out data!" Helix grabbed Luo Lin and synchronized all her memories. "This part is for you. We can do it together, and it will be faster!"

"...Okay."

So the two of them sat on the chairs in the system space and tinkered with the keyboard.

As she was knocking, Luo Lin suddenly said, "Here, Helix, that one just now..."

"Which one?"

"That one... Could it be a technique of the Herrscher of Sentience?"

"???"

Helix was stunned for a moment. She was about to ask if Luo Lin was overthinking, but then she fell into deep thought: "Oh, yes, it seems to be possible... Come here and I'll check you again."

Helix brought several instruments from a distance, as well as an imaginary number probe, and then took out the Key of Revelation. The feathers of light formed by the mimicry of Fenghuang Down lingered around her.

"Absolutely - nothing."

Soon, Helix put down her hand and said expressionlessly: "By the way, wasn't the Herrscher of Sentience present before? She is an expert in this field. Senti didn't find any strange signs. Could it be the Herrscher of Dominance? I think you are confused because of emotional problems..."

Luo Lin weakly retorted: "When people are excited, they can't take care of other things, I think."

Helix took a lot of effort to resist the urge to roll her eyes: "Then go to Mobius for a check-up!"

"Okay, confirm it more..."

Luo Lin stood up and left and was blocked by Senti at the gate to the Elysian Realm in the system space.

The Herrscher of Sentience shouted: "Luo Lin!"

"Ah!" The black-haired girl stood at attention.

Senti couldn't help but complain: "Why are you so nervous? I should be the one who's nervous?!"

"Ahaha..."

The gray-haired Herrscher waved her hand: "Forget it, it's my problem to expect you to take the initiative--"

The next moment, the Herrscher of Sentience embraced Luo Lin's waist, put one hand on the girl's face, and then tilted her head slightly to kiss Luo Lin.

"!?"

In those red eyes, Luo Lin saw strong attachment, trust... and love, and these emotions almost drowned her instantly.

The other party tried naively and carefully, and at this time there was no trace of the usual publicity and sharpness.

The kiss was not intense, and it didn't last too long.

When the Herrscher of Sentience left, Luo Lin could still recall the freshness brought by the mountain stream, as soft as feathers, but at the end there was a little mischievous feeling.

She looked at Luo Lin seriously and said softly: "I like you."

Chapter 57

The gray-haired girl and the black-haired girl sat at the bar in the Elysian Realm Lounge, staring at the table, as if they could see some secrets of the universe from it.

"..."

Luo Lin secretly glanced at the Herrscher of Sentience next to her. It was this guy who took the initiative to kiss her, but now she looked like she was burning out, as if the kiss just now had exhausted her courage.

A few minutes later, the black-haired girl finally couldn't help it. She pulled her collar and broke the embarrassing silence: "Se... Senti, so, then?"

Nicknames have become so difficult to say...

"Then, then?"

The Herrscher of Sentience raised her head and asked stupidly.

At this moment, the gray-haired Herrscher's face was still very red, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up, as if she was still savoring the previous feeling.

Luo Lin smiled helplessly: "Didn't you take the initiative? Then what? Are we just sitting here like this?"

"Hmm!"

She doesn't know what the Herrscher of Sentience thought of, but her whole body turned red, and even her head seemed to be steaming. She waved her hands quickly: "This, this is not good. I don't quite understand that part..."

Luo Lin widened her eyes: "What are you thinking about?! And what does 'not quite understand' mean?"

"Just... between girls... Although the old timer does have this concept in her memory, she doesn't care much about the specific details, so I don't know much about it... If I hadn't secretly read some of Kiana's collection of books..."

The Herrscher of Sentience poked her finger, she turned her head away, as if she was too shy to continue.

Luo Lin's mind buzzed: "Senti! You are polluted!"

"What is pollution? Ah, what is pollution? This is a normal relationship!"

The Herrscher of Sentience stiffened her neck and shouted louder than Luo Lin: "And I have tried very hard to express my feelings, and finally you, a wooden head, reacted!"

Luo Lin grabbed her hair a little madly: "I am not a wooden head! Of course I understand what's going on with you!"

Senti immediately said: "Then you are a hesitant idiot!"

Luo Lin was speechless. She was indeed very hesitant in terms of feelings.

"Humph, idiot!" Senti raised her head, and the gray-haired Herrscher seemed to have found Luo Lin's nickname, "So, you accept me, right?"

"But..."

"You're still thinking about others!"

The Herrscher of Sentience wanted to bite Luo Lin into a fool. She stretched out her hand to pinch Luo Lin's face and rubbed it hard.

In this situation, Luo Lin tried to say: "Damn...Damn, both Sirin and Mei Raiden need stability...Honkai will take advantage of the opportunity..."

The Herrscher of Sentience gritted her teeth: "Why don't you include Kiana, Durandal and the red Seele?! And Bronya, Seele...especially Elysia, you definitely have more than just a friend's feeling towards her!"

Luo Lin shouted in a self-destructive manner: "I, I like everyone! I love everyone! Give me power Elly!"

To be honest, which of the protagonists is not lovable? And which captain doesn't want to get along well with their own Valkyrie and become a lover in the end?

Some guys even have strange affection for important characters and even beautiful enemies, so they just wave their hands and like everyone in the world.

...Of course, it seems that it is not limited to beautiful ones. In short, the player's liking system is all-encompassing, and Luo Lin is naturally no exception.

The Herrscher of Sentience was startled by Luo Lin. She held the black-haired girl's face and looked at her carefully for a few seconds. She then used the Herrscher's power to check Luo Lin's condition and breathed a sigh of relief: "You are not ill, are you?"

"But I really love you all."

Luo Lin muttered, and now the Herrscher of Sentience could confirm that she was not talking nonsense.

"... Tsk, you're so emotional!"

The Herrscher of Sentience let go of her hand, looked at Luo Lin angrily, and pointed at the girl's nose: "A girl who just mustered up the courage to confess her love to you is right in front of you, but you actually said that you have other ideas to others without any concealment, and there are so many!"

"I can't hide it in front of you... and you also understand..."

"Hey!"

The gray-haired Herrscher poked Luo Lin's forehead fiercely: "Of course I understand, for the peace and tranquility of this world, you have to ensure that the status of the Herrschers is stable. What are you, Little Otto?"

"Hey, don't associate me with Otto..."

"You have plans that they don't want to show to others, you have unclear relationships with the Herrschers, and even deeply participate in the birth and growth of the Herrschers, and you believe in feelings so much ...Love can make everything go smoothly."

The Herrscher of Sentience was a little dazed: "If you're not little Otto, who else could it be? Could it be me?"

"What plan do I not want to show? I don't have that kind of thing!" Luo Lin protested, "And how could I be deeply involved in the birth of the Herrscher? It was the one chosen by Honkai, not me!"

Senti silently pointed at herself: "You and I, don't count?"

"Uh..."

"As for the plan..." The Herrscher of Sentience hesitated, "It must be to eliminate Honkai, but you have many plans and ideas of your own that you haven't said, right?"

Luo Lin weakly retorted: "I have said everything I can say, you know I won't hide it from you..."

"That means there are things that you don't know how to proceed." Senti confirmed.

"...are you really not reading my mind?"

The Herrscher of Sentience sneered: "You're such a fool, do II need to use my power? It's funny?"

"Everything now is very different from what I remember." Luo Lin murmured, "I don't know, I'm a little...scared."

"Don't you still have me?"

The Herrscher of Sentience pulled Luo Lin and pressed against her in a more intimate posture, feeling the beating of the two people's hearts.

"And there are so many people who support you, trust you..." The Herrscher of Sentience paused, "... and people who love you, everyone will work hard."

"... Yeah."

Luo Lin patted the Herrscher of Sentience on the back: "So I should continue to work."

Senti widened her eyes: "Huh?! The atmosphere is here fine! Why!?"

"Work!" Luo Lin turned her head, "Now is not the time! There are still many troubles to deal with, experimental data, Infinity Abyss, Elysian Realm Challenge..."

"You you you!"

"Well, I know you don't like to work, so you just rest here and be obedient!"

Luo Lin pecked the Herrscher of Sentience on the lips like lightning, then ran away immediately and disappeared into the depths of the Elysian Realm.

"Ah, uh..."

Now it was Senti's turn to be stunned. She raised her hand and touched her lips that were still warm and smelly, and finally licked that place with her tongue unconsciously.

A sweet, soft, with a faint citrus flavor.

Chapter 58

"Sister Sirin? Sister Sirin?"

Kiana walked and called out in the depths of the spiritual world, but no one responded for a long time. Finally, she found Sirin, who was hiding in a strange little corner, feeling isolated.

Sirin was hugging her knees, her neck lowered, and her head buried in her arms, making it difficult to see her expression.

The white-haired girl scratched her head and sat next to her sister.

After half a minute, Kiana tentatively asked, "Sister, you can't do this. You have to be more proactive..."

"..."

Kiana deliberately stretched out her voice, "Sister~! Sister~! Sister Sirin~!"

"So annoying."

Sirin raised her head slightly, revealing her golden eyes. She squinted at Kiana and asked, "I saw that you were very active when you left just now... Did you get any results?"

"No, Senti watched very closely."

Kiana breathed a sigh of relief. Her sister didn't seem to be as angry as she imagined.

"Senti... call her Sentience!"

Sirin puffed up her lips, now looking like a genuine pufferfish, and then muttered, "Humph, fortunately, I have a lead... although it's not voluntary..."

Kiana automatically skipped the part where Sirin was mumbling and comforted her, "Okay, call her Sentience... I prepared bread made by Luo Lin for you, and some jams of your favorite flavors. Let's eat some together later?"

The Herrscher with golden eyes hesitated, "... That's your inventory, right?"

"Who are we kidding?"

The white-haired girl smiled brightly, "Besides, isn't it still possible to go to Luo Lin for more? I hid it so that I can eat it when I'm hungry, not to let the food give birth to a baby there..."

"... Yeah."

"Okay, okay, let's work together as sisters to find a way to surprise Luo Lin..."

Kiana put her arm around Sirin's shoulders and muttered. Although most of the knowledge was obtained from the small book she bought, at least some of it seemed feasible, and some of it had been used in actual combat (Kiana pointed at Raiden Mei and Bronya)...

Anyway, it would be good to tell Sirin about these and broaden her perspective.

The white-haired girl spoke very enthusiastically, and Sirin listened very seriously at first, but when Kiana let herself go and even talked nonsense, the golden-eyed girl's thoughts drifted away.

"Sisters work together... huh..."

Sirin stared at Kiana's beaming face, supporting her head with one hand, and fell into deep thought.

Will it really happen? It should be...

"--Get out of my head!"

The huge scolding woke Sirin from her meditation. She looked around blankly. The heavy rain made the buildings in the surrounding city hazy and blurred. The colors of the neon lights were stained with a circle of scarlet light in the rain, which seemed particularly dangerous.

In front of her, a stubborn white-haired girl was holding her head and looking at her with angry eyes.

--Maybe, it was these kinds of eyes?

"Kiana?" Sirin asked.

The girl struggled with all her strength and screamed, "Damn it, Herrscher of the Void, what on earth are you going to do!"

Sirin found that Kiana was fighting with her for control of her body, but the pulling force was negligible, even less than when she controlled her body to go out shopping a few days ago, and saw the back of someone who looked like Raiden Mei, and the white-haired girl wanted to chase after her to see what was going on.

What's going on...?

"Move, body, quick!"

Kiana's gaze quickly shifted to another direction, and Sirin could also feel her gaze. Looking in that direction, she saw a group of zombies chasing a few civilians, crying and shouting in a rather embarrassed manner.

"Huh?"

Sirin tilted her head and easily kicked Kiana off the level, then pinched out a few sub-space spears, flicked her fingers, and poked the zombies into sieves.

The next moment, the zombies fell to the ground and exploded into pieces.

Then, the golden-eyed Herrscher stepped through the portal and landed in the middle of the Honkai energy fragments. The raindrops were bounced off by the Honkai energy that Sirin actively released, leaving a clean and refreshing area.

Sirin raised her hand and gathered the fragments that fell around in her palm. She felt it for a while, then narrowed her eyes. There was a very strong Honkai energy on them. Compared with the half-zombie brought back by Luo Lin, they were like bright lights in the dark night. As long as the base radar of the Coral Island branch was not broken, they would definitely be able to find them.

Isn't it the work of the Herrscher of Dominance?

"Monster, monster!!"

The place where Sirin fell was not far from the people who survived the disaster. After seeing the sudden appearance of the figure and her superhuman abilities, their mentality collapsed again and they dispersed to a farther place.

Kiana's voice was shocked and angry, "You?! What tricks are you doing?"

"I want to ask you what tricks you are doing, Kiana. Oh, right..."

Sirin clenched her fist, and these three-dimensional fragments were compressed into a small cube. Then she opened a small portal and threw it into the "storage space" that belonged to the Herrscher of the Void.

These samples will be taken back to Luo Lin for inspection later...

"Kiana, I'll help you!"

Sirin found another familiar face popping up in the consciousness space, but the clothes she wore were a bit strange. The style was very Shenzhou, but quite modern and bold. The red clothing patterns and pendants gave her a lively feeling.

The Herrscher with golden eyes looked her up and down and asked, "Herrscher of Sentience, have you changed into a new set of clothes?"

"Me? Herrscher?"

This question also confused Fu Hua. She thought that she was a MANTIS soldier of the former civilization, the Immortal Phoenix, and a Valkyrie of the current civilization, fighting on the front line against the Honkai. No matter how she looked, she shouldn't think of herself as a Herrscher, right?

"Wait a minute... this dress looks familiar... isn't it the one that Babylon Fu Hua wore..."

Sirin quickly reacted, her face suddenly stretched very long, pointing and saying, "Good fellow, you are wearing this dress to irritate me, right? I said you disturbed my mood, and after that you created an illusion to persecute me, isn't that a bit too much? And when did you get involved with Kiana? And, Kiana, what you just said to me was a lie?"

Fu Hua & Kiana: "?"

The white-haired girl glanced at the warrior dressed in red floating in the air, silently stepped back a few steps, and then reminded, "I just didn't say anything."

"Kiana, don't listen to this guy's nonsense! I'm your class monitor, how could I hurt you..."

"Hahaha! Do you think I still believe this now?"

Kiana laughed miserably, then pointed at Fu Hua and cursed, "Since the first day of school at Saint Freya, you have been lurking by my side, monitoring me, and finally handed me over to Otto! Have you forgotten how you betrayed me?!"

"Kiana... I just..."

"?"

Sirin was getting more and more confused. What was going on? Why did everything become unreasonable in the blink of an eye? And why did all this seem strangely familiar...

[... Get out of the way quickly, the line is about to break again...]

[... No hurry, I can... do this...]

As soon as the doubtful thoughts rose from Sirin's mind, they were covered by anger, and then these thoughts disappeared without a trace...

Chapter 59

"If you want to act, please go find the person with the most unique thinking. She has a personality that can play house with you and even provide you with items."

Sirin couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark, which made Kiana and Fu Hua look at her together.

The white-haired girl glared at her: "Herrscher of the Void, don't show your kindness in front of me. You are not much better either."

"Oh, what does that mean?" Sirin frowned. "I don't deny that I have done a lot of bad things, but do you think you are a good person?"

Liking to stick with girls and having some rich emotions shouldn't rise to this level, right?

"If it weren't for you, so many people wouldn't have died; if it weren't for you, my hands wouldn't be stained with so many indelible sins; if it weren't for me..."

The white-haired girl suddenly choked up and said with difficulty and trembling: "If it weren't for me...then the teacher would definitely still be alive, alive..."

Sirin widened her eyes: "Ah? Luo Lin is dead?"

The sudden news stunned the Herrscher of the Void, and she even took a step back unconsciously.

"You murderer! You still have the face to be here--!"

"Kiana, calm down!"

"And you, don't even think about running away!"

No, this is wrong...

Sirin tried to ignore the "Shura Field" of the two not far away and blocked out their noise.

Thanks to someone who taught her the technique of concentrating and calming her mind during psychotherapy, it just happened to be useful now.

I must have forgotten something!

The Herrscher of the Void was so sure that she suppressed the nameless anger in her heart to a level that would not affect her thinking and tried to turn her slightly slow brain -

What was I doing just now? I was chatting with someone.

Who was I chatting with? With Kiana.

What topic were we talking about? About Luo Lin, about feelings...

How could she die?

As the fear deepened, Luo Lin's face inevitably appeared in Sirin's mind. The gentle black-haired girl who always cared for others suddenly became covered with wounds and lay powerlessly in a pool of blood.

The smell of strong blood suddenly filled Sirin's nose, accompanied by the familiar citrus aroma that inevitably dimmed and fell. The sticky, cold liquid flowed through her fingertips, making the girl tremble.

"I just saw her!"

Sirin screamed; the gold in her eyes could hardly be concealed, and the unprecedented strong Honkai gathered around the Herrscher of the Void. Kiana and Fu Hua, who were still arguing, were stunned for a moment in front of such a scene, and then immediately abandoned their prejudices and temporarily united together.

"Stop... her!"

Kiana gritted her teeth, and the lines of Honkai erosion spread on her neck.

Fu Hua raised her hand without hesitation, holding up the golden-red feather that held everything she had, and the key of consciousness burst into light!

"Fenghuang Down?! This must be an illusion!"

Sirin seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. The huge amount of Honkai energy that was so thick that it could even condense fragments directly in the environment exploded with her as the center. This pure power not only exceeded the expectations of Fu Hua and Kiana but also caught Sirin off guard.

The Herrscher with golden eyes gritted her teeth and gave up thinking: "Never mind! Just like this - smash it!"

"Swoosh -!!!!"

The screams, the eruption sounds, and the strong impact instantly turned several buildings around into powder. The purple-red light was like the sun rising from the ground, directly dispersing the nearby rainstorm, and letting the extreme malice fall equally on the nearby humans!

--The Honkai is coming!

The Honkai beasts and elite zombies appeared out of thin air in the high-concentration Honkai environment. There were also figures gradually climbing up in the nearby ruins, more zombies, more Honkai beasts...

Sirin almost popped her eyes out: "Wait, this is not an illusion?! That means..."

Kiana rushed over desperately but fell to the ground with a dry cough halfway through the road, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

As for Fu Hua, her figure was blurred, and Fenghuang Down also fell to the ground in a spiral.

In the background, sharp alarms rang through the sky, and explosions and burning occurred one after another. This is the hell created by the Herrscher of the Void.

"I'm..."

[Kacha!]

The puppet jumped and swore, hitting the pause board. She grabbed her head and twisted it three times: [Why, why, why did Luo Lin die so easily this time!!! If she dies, my stage will be gone!]

The theater burst into laughter.

[I've seen people with weak Honkai resistance, but I've never seen such a weak one. They were almost a whole city apart, one in the east and the other in the west. The Herrscher of the Void exploded and Luo Lin died!]

[Hey, Luo Lin in this world line is not a Valkyrie, so it's normal for her to have weak Honkai resistance.]

[I suggest that all directors confirm the Honkai resistance of important NPCs when choosing the stage branch line, so as not to be like this NPC who was killed by the "dry ice" that added to the stage atmosphere before the opening was finished.]

Amidst the laughter, the puppet on the stage slammed the table: [I just cut the scene fragments, and finally embedded them into Sirin's brain. I pulled her onto the stage, but I didn't expect that none of the fancy moves could be unfolded in time. The emotional drama I wanted ah ah ah ah ah ah!!]

A puppet threw popcorn at her: [Come down, it's time to change directors!]

[Stop playing fancy moves! Just shoot the beginning, the end, the transition, and the conclusion honestly!]

[No, I like this person's idea too much! I want the next one to come, and I will make up for my colleague's regret!]

[Silence!]

On the other side, a different puppet holding a hammer ended the chaos in the theater with a loud and crisp hammer. She coughed and looked at the puppet on the stage with regret.

[This avant-garde director, you failed. You wasted our time to pull people onto the stage. We gained almost nothing from this performance.]

The judge-like puppet spread her hands: [Although the method of using the timeline to confuse and eliminate the redundant parts of thinking is very good, in the face of huge and low-level mistakes - I mean that the anchor character Miss Luo Lin died in a funny way, all this seems even worse!]

[Indeed!][Indeed!][Indeed!]

[So I sentence you to be shot for five minutes!]

[It hurts a lot, you will really die!]

[You won't die, but it will hurt a lot, just bear it slowly~]

The two security puppets walked onto the stage with great vigor, picked up the failed director, and dragged him outside.

[No!!!]

[Regret... I don't deny the ideas of avant-garde artists, but the price of failure is too painful - we missed a chance to have fun!]

The judge puppet shook his head, quite regretful: [I want to use the A world line as a stage, the story of the B world line as an interlude, and continue the entanglement of the C world line... We are weak and can't do it yet.]

She looked up and gazed at the decoration hanging in the air of the theater, representing the Herrscher of the Void. The sub-space lance wrapped with golden threads, and the puppet's mind became active again.

[If the degree of historical replacement and erosion is further deepened, perhaps...]

Chapter 60

"Although the data is not wrong, the overall speed has dropped by several percent - little white mouse, if you want to maintain your sharp academic intuition and thinking, working overtime in private is not a good choice."

The green-haired doctor floated over in her floating chair and made some complaints that were not complaints.

"No, I didn't work overtime."

"Then what's wrong with you?"

The black-haired girl raised her eyelids, and her eyes fell on Mobius' lips involuntarily. Then Luo Lin slapped her forehead suddenly and continued to work in a trance.

"...Oh?"

Mobius raised her eyebrows, as if she had a guess.

The corners of her mouth hooked a mysterious arc, and then she bent down in front of Luo Lin, who was working hard, and looked up at Luo Lin from a strange position.

"Hey, little white mouse!"

From this angle, the black-haired girl could easily see Mobius's chest, the slender waist that could be held in one hand, and the triangular area hidden under the shadow of scales and mesh armor.

"What, what, what, what happened?" Luo Lin asked stutteringly.

"Haha, I didn't expect that you would be interested in these things one day?"

Mobius now completely confirmed Luo Lin's state of delusion. Her strange snake pupils shrank slightly, and there was a light of excitement flashing in them: "So who corrected your cognition - don't tell me it was Elysia. That girl talks nonsense, but she is actually innocent to death."

Luo Lin half opened her mouth: "Ah? Seriously?"

"Are you talking about me?"

Miss Pink Elf immediately "flashed" to the two of them. Luo Lin really don't know where she learned this trick from. Luo Lin and Mobius were really shocked.

Elysia glanced at the expression on Mobius's face, then turned to Luo Lin and said, "Luo Lin, don't listen to other people's bad words about beautiful girls!"

Luo Lin showed a dead fish eye: "You really have been listening from the beginning... Uh, could it be that you sneaked in when I returned to the Realm?"

Miss Pink Elf smiled mysteriously and blinked at her: "Guess?"

When she smiled like this, Luo Lin's heart began to sink.

-Oh no, could Elysia have seen everything that happened with Senti before?

Mobius frowned and glanced at the alarm installed at the door of the laboratory, her face full of confusion: "Obviously, Vill-V and I installed a device on it that can detect Sakura's entry. How did you come in quietly?"

"Really? But I just walked over like this?"

Elysia thought for a while and whispered: "Is there a possibility that the equipment you and Vill-V installed was secretly broken by Sakura because it was a hindrance?"

"Snap!"

Mobius also slapped her forehead, and then hurried away to find Vill-V.

Before leaving, the green-haired doctor also emphasized to Luo Lin: "Remember not to believe the nonsense that Vill-V said about me!"

"No, you two both emphasized that I should not believe each other's words. Is it also a tacit understanding?"

A report flew from a distance and hit Luo Lin's head after complaining. The black-haired Valkyrie took the report off helplessly and glanced at the title.

"This is the test report just made for me... Well, most of them are fine, just the values in this category..."

Luo Lin scratched her head. In the past, Mobius and Vill-V specially modified the detector to study the [Emotion Diffusion] skill she used. There are several data related to [Emotion].

If combined with Aponia's teaching, Luo Lin can more easily find the parts that need to be improved and practice her skills.

And in this report, the value of [Emotion Fluctuation] is abnormally high.

"This data is probably evidence of my 'heart' at that time?"

Luo Lin laughed dryly, scratched her slightly hot face, and whispered: "Well, now I always have random thoughts. Is this considered 'tasting marrow and knowing the taste'?"

The next morning, everyone gathered in Luo Lin's dormitory on time. Those who were supposed to cook cooked, and those who were waiting to eat waited to eat.

The Herrscher of Sentience sat next to Kiana, and the white-haired ball looked at her. Kiana felt that this behavior was a bit provocative.

Deep in the consciousness space, Sirin began to grit her teeth: "Damn it, Kiana, take her food for me!"

"Got it!"

The white-haired ball stretched out her chopsticks, but Senti did not stop her at all. After she took several pieces of meat, the Herrscher of Sentience smiled slightly, stood up with the plate, and went straight to the kitchen to find Luo Lin to make up for the meal.

"Luo Lin! Give me some more!"

Kiana was shocked: "What, there is still a move like this?!"

Raiden Mei looked at the white-haired girl's actions with a subtle expression and then began to think about what this guy was doing again?

Bronya saw all this, and her smart little brain worked a little, and she probably guessed something, but it didn't seem to have any effect on her...

"Sister Bronya, open your mouth!" Seele raised the spoon.

"Ah~"

After dinner, Luo Lin assigned everyone today's tasks: "Everyone, no suspicious area was located on the radar today, so we continue to deploy imaginary space probes in Coral Island... According to the current progress, all probes should be deployed tomorrow."

She paused for a moment and continued: "Kiana, you don't need to do experiments today, go and work on the probes with Mei and the others. Ana, you continue to follow me, let's go visit Dr. Heathers Tal."

"Okay." Ana nodded.

"Do you understand? Let's go."

Everyone dispersed, and transport boats, helicopters, and cars carrying imaginary probes set off from the branch and headed towards the designated location.

Luo Lin followed Ana and followed the guidance of the personal terminal to the scientific research area of Coral Island.

Compared to the authentic old European Kolosten, the strong religious atmosphere of the Schicksal headquarters, the fairy-tale and warm Saint Freya, the riveted Helixcraft, and the gloomy and green Mobius laboratory outside the window, this place looks much more normal, an ordinary high-tech area.

There are endless laboratories of different shapes, some of which are hung with large, seemingly billboard-like things to promote their laboratory projects.

There are not only researchers scratching their hair and seeming to be troubled by some problems on the road but also many well-dressed people who are obviously business elites at a glance.

They are talking on the phone, talking about how promising a certain research is, how some research is not going well, and how it is likely that they will not make money... It feels like coming to the stock exchange.

"This place has a strong business atmosphere." Luo Lin said. Ana was no longer surprised. She shrugged her shoulders and said, "Coral Island is like this. Many large companies and research institutes have come here to attract investment. They naturally want to make money, so it has become like this."

"But Dr. Heathers, whom we visited, seems a little different..."

Luo Lin looked at the "laboratory" not far away and raised her eyebrows.

Chapter 61

In order to accommodate equipment, facilitate construction, and promote publicity, general laboratories are often square or have a somewhat novel appearance. However, Dr. Heathers' laboratory is neither popular nor aggressive. It has a round roof like an eggshell, and the exterior walls are painted a warm beige. At first glance, it doesn't look like a laboratory at all but rather someone's home. It feels very pleasing to the eye.

- How to say it, it's awesome to have Schicksal backing you up.

There is also a garden at the entrance of the laboratory that is not big, but not small. The plants grow vigorously, with lush branches and leaves, and some flowers bloom, emitting a pleasant fragrance. An elderly woman with glasses and a kind face is sitting at the entrance. Her straight gray hair shines in the sun. It seems she is waiting for Luo Lin and others to arrive.

"Hello, Dr. Heathers Tal! My name is Luo Lin, and this is Ana."

"Hello, Wu Fei informed me that someone was coming to visit, so I'll be waiting for you in the garden."

Luo Lin saw Dr. Heathers getting up, so she hurried over to help her. The older woman smiled and nodded: "Ah, thank you. The main entrance of the laboratory is this way."

Heathers pointed to a neatly paved stone road, wide enough for vehicles to enter and exit.

Walking on this road, Luo Lin could hear some tiny chirping sounds, followed by the sound of a few flapping wings, and two parrots with colorful feathers flew over, landing on Dr. Heathers' shoulders, one on the left and one on the right. The gray-haired woman touched the parrot's head and introduced: "These are the parrots I raise. They are very well-behaved and live in this garden... In fact, there are some other small birds living here, but those birds are more timid and not easy to see."

"Wow."

Ana looked at the parrots on Dr. Heathers' shoulders and reached out to try to get close to them. The parrots tilted their heads and avoided the chestnut-haired Valkyrie's fingers.

Luo Lin looked at Ana's disappointed expression, and then glanced at Ms. Heathers, who was smiling and watching the two of them. She thought she was really a wonderful person.

The two sides had only been in contact for a few minutes, and the atmosphere became quite relaxed. At least Ana had started interacting like she was with acquaintances. She had been a little tense on the road, but now she had become lively, which suited her age. As for Luo Lin herself, she mostly saw warm emotions from Heathers, but also noticed some anxiety and confusion hidden underneath. She should be able to find a way to ask later...

"Chirp!"

"?"

Luo Lin felt something fall on her head, and it was still jumping. Ana next to her widened her eyes. She suppressed her urge to scream and whispered: "Senior Luo Lin, it's other birds!"

Several birds of different species flew out from the bushes and landed on Luo Lin's head and shoulders one after another, chirping and making a lot of noise.

The black-haired girl was stunned, then tried to move her neck and body to make them leave.

The birds did leave, but after a few seconds, they gathered around Luo Lin again, gliding and flying, and finally landed on the black-haired girl's body, making her look like a bird stand.

Even Dr. Heathers had never seen such a spectacle. She was amazed: "I usually feed these little guys, but I never see them so close..."

"Quack!"

Unexpectedly, it was one of Heathers' parrots who rescued Luo Lin. It cried loudly, landed on Luo Lin's shoulder, and drove away the other colorful birds with its beak and wings. Then it stood on Luo Lin like a victorious general and did not come down.

"...Your motive is not pure."

Luo Lin touched the parrot's feathers with a smile, and the parrot made an excited cry and rubbed her palm.

Ana made a defeated sound: "Senior, please teach me how to make friends with animals!"

"Uh, I don't know...with heart?"

Dr. Heathers smiled even more: "Interesting."

After the little episode, they reached the door of the laboratory. Heathers extended her hand and led Luo Lin and Ana inside. The interior decoration of the laboratory was indeed consistent with the exterior, following the warm style that felt like a home, with a comfortable big sofa, soft blankets, and even a fireplace that looked like a wood-burning one but was actually a strange thing that used electricity to heat and played flame animations.

"Although Coral Island is considered to be spring-like all year round, I am old and sometimes still feel cold, so I specially installed central air conditioning鈥攁nd it is of this style, not bad."

Heathers winked at the girls, without any airs of a doctor.

"It's really nice, very...warm."

Luo Lin looked at the Houmu toys scattered everywhere in the living room, and her expression was a little helpless. The influence of this yellow rabbit really made her feel unreasonable. Maybe this is the power of the mascot of the Honkai series.

"Sit down, what would you like to drink?"

Dr. Heathers opened the cabinet and asked, "Tea? Drinks? Coffee? Or something else?"

Ana scratched her head: "Hmm... boiled water?"

"Let me help you, what do you like to drink, Doctor?"

Luo Lin walked to the side of the gray-haired old woman very naturally. Dr. Heathers did not refuse, but just said, "Thank you, little Luo Lin, flower tea will do - use this cup."

Luo Lin checked the contents of the cabinet, raised her hand, and the jars and cups inside floated up. Edge of Taixuan handled everything gently under her precise operation, and three cups filled with liquid landed on the table next to the sofa.

"Hmm, it's amazing." Dr. Heathers pushed her glasses up, "Can Honkai be used gently?"

"It depends on the user."

Luo Lin shrugged. She prepared ordinary coffee for herself with sugar. For people who often work overtime, this drink is both loved and hated.

"I heard from Wu Fei that Miss Luo Lin is not only an A-rank Valkyrie but also seems to be quite good at research... Now I see that you are not the genius I imagined, you are very gentle."

Dr. Heathers adjusted her sitting posture and asked, "So, do you have any questions today? Just ask, I will do my best."

"This question may be a bit general..." Luo Lin touched her chin, "Have you noticed anything unusual recently? Anything unusual can be said, even if it is a small matter."

"This is indeed a question that is a bit too broad." The gray-haired lady smiled bitterly, "Let me think about it... Oh, in that case, I am currently studying a new topic about a mental illness that may be... popular, yes, I should use the word popular?"

Chapter 62

"Mental illness?"

Luo Lin suddenly became serious. "Dr. Heathers, please explain this matter further."

"Okay, okay... Actually, this starts with the fact that I received a few patients a few days ago."

Heathers took out her personal terminal and tapped it lightly. Several holographic projection screens appeared in front of everyone. This should be the most widely used technology of Schicksal, which is very convenient and fast.

"Their situation is quite obvious: abnormally high emotions, lack of self-control, unexplained loneliness and emotional indifference, always suspicious of others, acting without purpose... severe cases even sleepwalking."

Several summary charts came into Luo Lin's view. The peaks on the charts were far higher than normal levels, but it was not the prominent items that caught her attention.

"Except for the abnormalities caused by the underlying diseases that the patients may have, the physiological lesions caused by mental symptoms are basically determined to be non-existent?"

"Yes, this is what bothers us scholars the most."

The gray-haired lady nodded distressedly. "Mental illness rarely occurs out of thin air. Once symptoms appear, it means that a certain system in the human body has more or less problems. But these patients defy common sense. It seems that there is a mysterious force directly affecting them. The spirit has been affected..."

Ana immediately thought of a word: "Honkai energy!"

Dr. Heathers' expression also became solemn. "Yes, that's what I guessed. After all, diseases caused by Honkai energy have appeared before..."

Luo Lin narrowed her eyes and said, "Black Death, right."

"You seem to have learned history very well." The gray-haired lady nodded and said in a low voice, "In the historical records of the Schicksal, the Black Death that ravaged Europe and caused countless deaths was another manifestation of Honkai. It was later ended by the genius of the Apocalypse family, Otto Apokalis, who is also our current archbishop."

"Alas... It seems to be true." Ana dug in her mind for a long time before she followed the two people's thoughts. "That is also a very important turning point in the life of our Overseer."

Luo Lin reached out and touched the golden hairpin on her head. The creation called the Key of Revelation gave her a warm touch. After Kallen discovered that Otto was using human experiments to create an antidote for the "Black Death", their relationship began to slide into the abyss, and they even parted ways in the end.

Until Kallen was captured by Destiny and brought back to Europe, Otto released the Honkai Beast to disrupt the execution ground in an attempt to rescue Kallen, but Kallen died because she tried to protect the people, and Otto seemed to have died at that moment.

For him, a world without Kallen is meaningless.

Heathers didn't know what scene flashed through Luo Lin's mind. She paused for a moment and said, "In fact, I didn't think about it in this direction at the beginning. I just prescribed some drugs, which had little effect. But when I looked for patients of the same type in the global case database and tried to find a feasible treatment, I found that there were unexpectedly many of these patients."

The black-haired Valkyrie asked, "Are there a lot?"

"There are hundreds of cases found in the case database alone, which is very serious. You know, mental illness is not 'very important' worldwide. Many people will not go to the hospital for help even if they have obvious psychological and mental illness symptoms, unless it really affects their lives too much, and may even lead to death..."

Dr. Heathers shrugged her shoulders. "For symptoms of suspected epidemics, usually we see a case, and there may be dozens or hundreds of patients with the same symptoms but who don't go to the hospital."

"That's right." Luo Lin touched her chin, with a subtle expression. "So based on this situation, you determined that the disease was caused by Honkai?"

"No, I gave the patient some drugs that can alleviate the mild Honkai erosion - this can even be traced back to the antidote for the Black Death made by the Overseer."

Heathers tapped the terminal, and some more tables appeared on the projection screen. Compared with the previous tables, the abnormal values of each table were reduced and weakened. "After that, the patients' conditions improved, which just shows that the anti-Honkai drugs have taken effect... But this drug is quite expensive even in Schicksal, and ordinary people can't afford it."

The gray-haired lady lowered her head and sighed heavily. "And according to the distribution range of the patients, the closer to Southeast Asia, the more people have this symptom. I roughly guess that the source of infection should be nearby... In addition to your appearance, people keep reminding me that Coral Island is dangerous..."

Luo Lin watched Dr. Heathers clench her fists and relax several times, and the old woman seemed to gradually become nervous.

Heathers finally made up her mind. She asked, "A new round of Honkai is coming, right? Just like in 2000?"

Luo Lin and Ana looked at each other. The black-haired Valkyrie scratched her head and said, "To be precise, it has already begun."

"... Already?"

"Yes, in fact, these mental illnesses are likely just superficial. The specific situation... Doctor, can you call all the patients you have taken care of to the Coral Island Branch for further research?"

Faced with Luo Lin's question, Heathers hesitated for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook her head. "Those patients are either rich or noble, and some of them have strong opinions about destiny. I'm afraid they can't go to the Coral Island Branch to stay for research."

The straightforward Ana immediately said, "This is a serious matter. If it doesn't work, let's just capture the people here!"

Luo Lin shook her head. "I don't think it will work. If I'm not mistaken, some of Dr. Heathers' patients should be members of Anti-Entropy, right?"

"Well, it seems that you have studied me thoroughly." Dr. Heathers touched the tip of her nose. "However, although they are unwilling to go to the Coral Island branch, they are still willing to come here - the premise is that I am here."

Luo Lin sighed. "This... You have to pay attention to your own safety."

The gray-haired lady smiled and replied, "I also have some authority in Anti-Entropy."

"I mean, there is a third party force destroying the balance of Coral Island, and maybe you may be on their list."

"There are still crazy guys at this time?"

Heathers was stunned.

"It's related to the Honkai," Luo Lin reminded.

"Honkai..." The gray-haired lady nodded solemnly. "I understand. In fact, the security measures of the laboratory are not bad. I will find a way to strengthen them."

Ana looked around and asked in a low voice, "Doctor, why don't you give us the list and we will visit these patients privately..."

"This..." Heathers hesitated for a moment, but finally refused with a wry smile. "Sorry, I also understand that this matter involves many people, but..."

"It's okay, we will think of other ways." Luo Lin stood up and took Ana to say goodbye to the gray-haired old woman.

After leaving the laboratory and walking to the street, Luo Lin whispered to the chestnut-haired Valkyrie, "This matter must be related to the Herrscher of Dominance."

After all, the prompt that just popped up on the activity panel reads this: [Investigation Task: Epidemic Disease (Completed)]

Chapter 63

A warehouse on the coast had a big hole in it, and traces of battle could be seen in the hole. Boxes of goods were knocked over, steel was twisted and broken, and liquid with a pungent smell spread all over the ground - it was a chemical agent called "Bliss" and other evil addictive drugs.

The automatic fire extinguishing device in the warehouse had been activated, and the few remaining flames in the warehouse would not last long. The spraying water curtain would wash away the agent flowing on the ground while extinguishing the fire.

Fire trucks and police cars rushed in this direction, their sirens blaring. There were even helicopters in the sky, and the bright searchlights illuminated the surroundings, making everything clear.

As for the culprit who caused all of this, uh, no, it was a chivalrous person who had already left the scene and run away.

"I told you not to chase me!" Void Drifter shouted to Chen Tianwu beside her.

"I'm not chasing you; I'm chasing this batch of drugs!" Chen Tianwu spread his hands to show his innocence and said, "My senior told me that if I really can't figure it out, I should do something I'm willing to do. I caught a clue and followed it. As a result, I ran into you just after I touched the warehouse, and there was a Honkai beast following behind you..."

Void Drifter asked unhappily, "So you think this is a coincidence? The number of times we have run into each other is at least five or six times, right? Isn't it a bit suspicious?"

"No, if you ask me, you are the more suspicious one, right?" Chen Tianwu was also a little exasperated. "I'm at a loss. I am still following a clear clue. You are elusive like a ghost. Wherever you appear, there are Honkai beasts and dead soldiers, and the radar can't scan you... If you didn't look kind, I would even suspect that you created these Honkai beasts."

Void Drifter's face froze, and then she waved ber hand to cover her expression. "I also have my own way, right? Although Arc City is big, I have been active here for a long time, so I naturally have my intelligence network..."

"Arc? This place is Coral Island."

"Ah? Am I not in Arc City?"

The white-haired girl and Chen Tianwu stared at each other.

"How can this be Coral Island? Look at this skyscraper, uh, it seems there really aren't any..."

Void Drifter covered her head and muttered in a low voice, "Damn, is it an illusion?"

"Ding ding ding~"

Just then, Chen Tianwu's personal terminal rang. He glanced at the white-haired girl who seemed to have a little problem with her brain with some concern, and then answered the phone. The figure that appeared on the screen was not the raven wearing a hat that Chen Tianwu imagined, but another gray Serpent who was also a hooded character, but with a mechanical mask that completely covered his face.

"Night Owl, be careful next time you act, don't forget the content of the training, and don't let me clean up your mess."

It seems that this Gray Serpent has a bad personality. He warned Chen Tianwu with some curses. The boy knew that he was still a rookie, so he had no rebuttal and nodded in agreement.

"Hey, isn't this a famous intelligence dealer in Arc? Are you his subordinate?" The white-haired girl came over, looked at the person on the screen, and raised her eyebrows.

Gray Serpent on the opposite side was stunned for a moment: "Kiana Kaslana?"

"Huh?! You know me!" Void Drifter scratched his head but soon felt relieved, "You are indeed an intelligence dealer. Hey, I have a deal to discuss with you. Let's talk about the anomaly in Arx City - about Heliopolis Life Sciences."

"Heliopolis..." Gray Serpent wanted to express his feelings with a twitch at the corner of his mouth, but unfortunately, he couldn't do it.

How could he not be familiar with the name of Heliopolis - isn't this something made by Jackal?

Dear Comrade Cleo, where did you "carelessly" expose the information again?

Why does it feel like there is no end to this mess...

Void Drifter looked at Gray Serpent's silence and felt that the other party didn't seem to trust her, so he let out a little information: "As far as I know, Heliopolis is doing some involuntary human experiments..."

"I know about this," Gray Serpent said helplessly, "It is true, but the subjects of the experiment are basically criminals... The others are volunteers."

After returning from the Sea of Quanta, Lord Kevin went to various bases of World Serpent and showed his face a little, calling off some things that even he, a former civilization warrior, thought were a bit extreme.

Jackal actually wanted to catch people with good qualifications all over the world for experiments, but after the kind-hearted Kevin gave her advanced permissions to the former civilization database, Cleo became addicted to it and had no intention of catching people.

Here we have to mention Mobius and Vill-V in Elysian Realm again. These two produced a lot of results on the way to studying Luo Lin, and then all of them were transferred to the database.

Unfortunately, there are not many scientific researchers in World Serpent, their technical level is relatively average, and their authority is not high enough. It is okay to help in Project Stigma, but it is difficult to understand the ideas of these two masters.

Mobius and Vill-V suddenly felt that there was no one in the world who understood them, so they went to increase their training (pressure) and cultivation (exploitation) of Luo Lin...

Until Miss Jackal logged into the database with high-level authority, this lady with a low reputation but amazing scientific research ability felt that she had opened the door to a new world. (After all, she is an important character with a name and a face, and even the Golden Gray Serpent was involved in the Project Stigma in the end)

Jackal looked at the series of results, feeling pain and happiness, working and studying at the same time, and had no energy to display her "ambition" of catching people everywhere.

With the blessing of the fresh results of the two giants in Elysian Realm, Cleo can now rub artificial stigmata. Although the final effect is a little weak, it can be regarded as standing on the same starting line with the cutting-edge researchers of Schicksal.

Jackal: How can catching qualified people everywhere be as awesome as directly transforming humans?

Kevin was very satisfied with this and increased his investment with a big wave of his hand.

After hearing that someone could rub the stigmata with his hands like Schicksal, a group of organizations that were not in the same camp as Schicksal also came quickly and directly bought up the "volunteer" quota. Jackal didn't have to go out to catch people.

"Is that so?" Void Drifter frowned, doubts lingering in her mind. This seemed to be different from the intelligence she knew.

Could it be that this intelligence merchant was actually a "cobbler" with poor skills? Or is he in the same group with Heliopolis Medicine...?

Just as Void Drifter was thinking, Chen Tianwu spoke: "Hey, what's going on with you? Are you planning to run away?"

"What do you mean by running away? I haven't thought about the problem clearly yet." Void Drifter waved her hand a little irritably, and the boy pointed at the girl's body with his backhand. "Are you sure?"

The white-haired girl lowered her head and looked at her gradually transparent body with a look of astonishment.

The next moment, she disappeared directly from Chen Tianwu's sight. The boy scratched his hair. "What's going on? I thought she was trying to get rid of me before, but I didn't expect it to be an uncontrollable passive skill?"

Gray Serpent looked at the scene in front of him and said in a deep voice: "I suggest you contact Raven and tell her about this situation, and then... you continue to track this girl."

"Understood." Chen Tianwu hung up the phone.

Gray Serpent pressed his mask, and the red electronic eyes flashed a few times, and then murmured in a weird tone: "Kiana Kaslana, shouldn't she be with Miss Luo Lin... Now, two people appeared at the same time?"

Chapter 64

"The white-haired girl who looks exactly like Kiana gradually disappears in front of me, and also mentions information related to Arc City..."

Luo Lin put down the personal terminal in her hand, and her expression gradually became distorted: "Arc City Kiana, it can be confirmed that it was the Herrscher of Dominance who did it, but... what is it for?"

This is a very serious question.

Look at Otto, who adjusted Kolosten to the way it was five hundred years ago, just to create a suitable environment, so that his self-described goal of "burning everything and turning back the time of the world outside Kolosten" appears very convincing.

If the protagonist group doesn't intervene, Otto can really achieve this goal.

But what's the matter with the Herrscher of Dominance pulling over Void Drifter Kiana?

At this time, Kiana's position on anti-Honkai is firm. If you can prove that her suicide is also a contribution to the fight against Honkai, Void Drifter Kiana might shoot herself on the spot and drag Sirin to hell together.

Maybe this operation can stimulate Mei Raiden to transform into the Herrscher of Thunder on the spot, but with Luo Lin and the Herrscher of Sentience, things will never fall to this point.

Besides that, what other contributions can a wounded and self-destructive Kiana make?

None. (shaking fingers)

Besides, Otto carefully selected them when he was making trouble in Kolosten, and the phantoms that restored history were all things that happened in Kolosten, with a very high degree of matching.

It can be imagined that for the Herrscher of Domination to forcibly drag the people of Arc City to Coral Island is a complete waste of time and effort- Void Drifter disappears after a short time every time she appears, which is probably caused by timeline rejection or some other element.

"So why is it? If I were the Herrscher of Dominance, I would just bring Frappuccino here. The location and characters are suitable. Wouldn't it be much more useful than Void Drifter?"

Luo Lin was puzzled and muttered: "If you have to increase the strength, why not just call six-core Sirin? And the timeline has been dug up, maybe you can find some bad ends and even call Finality..."

The atmosphere around Luo Lin suddenly became sinister.

Kiana looked at the expression of the black-haired Valkyrie and couldn't help shivering. Then she hugged the Raiden Mei beside her.

"Mei, I'm scared!"

"It's okay, Kiana, I'm scared too."

Sirin, who was listening in her heart, rolled her eyes, but she agreed with Luo Lin's deduction. With six cores in hand, she was indeed a big threat.

The Herrscher of Sentience who was listening nearby shuddered and said loudly, "No, the Herrscher of Domination is not capable of bringing the terrible thing you just mentioned!"

"Even if the immediate combat power it can bring is not high, I can find another way." Luo Lin spread her hands. "Choose a good time and toss those who are still weak but are about to become Herrschers. When they come, they can become Herrschers. If there are more disposable bombs, anyone will have a headache. Isn't this very simple..."

Elysia was shocked by Luo Lin: "Thank goodness you are not the Herrscher of Dominance, otherwise this civilization would definitely be finished!"

Su also looked sympathetic and nodded in agreement.

"If I were the Herrscher of Dominance, I... forget it, I don't have much confidence in myself, I should be assimilated soon."

Luo Lin couldn't help biting her lips: "They're back again after all these twists and turns, what the hell is the Herrscher of Dominance doing? There are so many possibilities, why did they have to pick this one?"

Seele looked around and raised her hand to ask: "I was very concerned just now, what is Frappuccino?"

Luo Lin answered without hesitation: "It's a combination of Ana, the Herrscher of Ice, and Chen Tianwu, the Herrscher of Rock."

"Ah?"

The chestnut-haired Valkyrie didn't expect that she could still have her own business. She widened her eyes and pointed at her nose: "Me? The Herrscher of Ice?"

Luo Lin glanced at her: "Yes, her will is quite firm, and she has been a Herrscher for a long time... and then she was betrayed by her own people."

To be precise, she was betrayed by her former self, and the boomerang from the past finally hit her again—please see Chapter 75 of Volume 8 for details, so I won't go into details here.

"Did you just mention Chen Tianwu? The one who drove the mecha eventually became the Herrscher of Rock?"

The Herrscher of Consciousness immediately thought of something: "Oh, he should be the isotope here! So according to this statement, he should be from Anti-Entropy or the United Nations. Only these two organizations are good at letting people drive vehicles..."

"Neither, Chen Tianwu is from the World Serpent. Alas, I specifically checked Chen Tianwu's whereabouts a few days ago, but there was no such person. It was as if he had disappeared directly..."

Luo Lin touched his chin and guessed: "I seriously suspect that it was Kevin who went to the world with us at the beginning. After returning from the Quantum Sea, he had a talent for finding rookie Chen Tianwu in this world, and then dragged him directly into the World Serpent."

As she said, the black-haired Valkyrie lowered her head and sent another text message to Raven: [Is there a person named Chen Tianwu on your side, codenamed "Night Owl"?]

Raven replied in seconds: [Yes, what's wrong, did you bump into him?]

Luo Lin looked like "subway, old man, mobile phone.jpg" and sighed: "Good guy, it turns out that he has been recruited and ran to Coral Island, so it's okay... Well, in this case, the resonance of the stigmata on Ana's body also pointed to Coral Island, which should also be related to Chen Tianwu..."

The gray-haired boy Su thought for a while, and at this time took the initiative to speak out his advice: "Luo Lin, we must find a way to deal with this 'skill' displayed by the Herrscher of Dominance—if it involves things outside the world, or even the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and the Sea of Quanta, I think using [Cosmic Juggernaut...]

"You're right, that's true." Luo Lin clenched her fists. "It seems that Overseer Otto is very foresighted. I have the contact number of the Mulville Laboratory he gave me... Do you want to move [Cosmic Juggernaut] to the Coral Island Branch? No, that thing requires too much energy. It should still be able to observe the situation on Coral Island if it is placed in the Mulville Base..."

"Hello? Hello? Main body, I found some new clues!"

At this moment, the voice of the Helix sounded in Luo Lin's mind. Her tone was a little excited and a little regretful. In short, it was quite complicated.

"What clue? The principle of crystal formation has finally been cracked by you? Can I enjoy the super invincible enhanced version of Honkai Impact 3?" Luo Lin asked, "If there is no crystal, just clear all the materials in the store and buy whatever you want. All the Valkyries can be directly SSS..."

Helix complained: "You have some potential, how come even your fantasy is so ordinary? Infinite attack and defense, kill other people in seconds, bottomless HP Bar..."

Luo Lin got excited: "Really? Can my wish of punching the Imaginary Tree and kicking the Sea of Quanta come true?"

"...Ah, none of these."

Helix easily extinguished Luo Lin's fantasy, but she immediately added: "But I have confirmed two more people related to this incident!"

"Tell me quickly, or I will spank you."

"Hmph, it's Cocolia and Bronya, of course, and Celine... and ourselves."

Helix looked at the picture in front of her and whispered: "I just realized that surfing the Internet is also a good way to get information..."

Chapter 45

"Fuck, why didn't I think of this before!" Luo Lin slapped her thigh in frustration and gritted her teeth. "Next time you surf the Internet, remember to pay more attention to this kind of good stuff. If someone marks the BOSS later, we can just hold our position and kill them in seconds, and everything will be fine!"

"I want to do this, but the problem is that the forums we can visit have a good atmosphere for Honkai Impact 3. In the first few days of any new version of the game, except for bug screenshots and crazy posts, players unanimously decide not to discuss the plot... Those who come out to cause trouble are killed by enthusiastic netizens."

Helix's expression was weird. She spread her hands and said, "Besides, [Garbled Brother] is also highly regarded by enthusiastic players. Now, after this kind of activity comes out, he's treated the same as when the official game updates the plot... Additionally, I don't know how many people call you 'wife.'"

"Alas, being called 'wife' doesn't cost me anything, and you're still posting weird stuff every day, making the forums cheer when they see your account."

Luo Lin sighed. "I also hope there are uncles or data-mining experts who can directly take down the game file generated based on our experience and release it to the real world... Unfortunately, the name [Garbled Brother] already demonstrates the strength of our dear system."

The system popped up, sounding quite proud: [This is our system: live shooting, real people acting, the plot is done in one go. It will never be unpacked, and there are no internal leaks at all...]

"Thank you!"

Luo Lin rolled her eyes and, after thinking for a while, whispered to the system: "Ahem, system, can you give us a bug so that we can skip the plot and go directly to the final boss to finish the work?"

[No, this is "live shooting." There is no script at all; whatever is shot is taken.] The system was quite helpless: [As for bugs, I have said before that I don’t have the ability to fix bugs... Although I have the "system, add points" link, the bugs depend entirely on your own efforts.]

"Tsk, we are old friends, don’t you want to show some respect?"

[Forbidden to learn from Otto.]

"Forget it, I'd better find some 'garbled code experts' myself." Luo Lin gave up the argument and turned her attention back to the activity picture that Helix found.

Helix pointed at the picture and said, "By the way, have our eyes become so different before?"

The two looked at each other, stared at the diamond-shaped pupils and the deep pink color, then turned their heads away uncomfortably.

Helix poked Luo Lin's waist with her index finger: "Hey, have you already ascended?"

"Probably not yet. If we really get upgraded, there would definitely be a new character card. We have to trust Honkai Impact's judgment."

Luo Lin remained calm, but her speech was getting faster and faster: "So, this should just be a special effect formed by the superposition of various powers we have obtained... Oh my God, why does it look more and more like the Herrscher of Origin? Are we going to take over Elysia's account?"

Helix: "It's hard to say."

"Hiss, put this thing aside for now. Anyway, there shouldn't be any harm in getting stronger. Let's continue to study the content in the title picture."

Luo Lin muttered something that the locals of the Honkai world should find terrifying, then continued to analyze: "Bronya's dress, judging from her hairstyle and eyes, is without being a Herrscher, but why does it feel like a defeated CG... Did the Olenyeva sisters appear in the previous PV? We must find them soon, otherwise, Bronya might be in trouble."

"What about this Herrscher of the Void, Sirin?"

"I went out to talk to Silin, and the next one is Cocolia... There is nothing special to pay attention to in this map."

Luo Lin touched her chin and her eyes fell on the last person: "I have retrieved Welt, and the Eye of the Abyss should have been opened. Cocolia was supposed to have joined forces with the Gray Serpent to save Seele, and now Seele is back... Wait, did Welt tell Cocolia about this?"

————————————————————

North America, in a base of Anti-Entropy.

Welt Yang lay awkwardly on the hospital bed, looking at the chicken soup in front of him.

"Drink it, why not?"

A red-haired lady crossed her arms and said with a "smile": "Wasn't our great Anti-Entropy leader quite imposing a few days ago? How come he can't even drink chicken soup now? You were so awesome at that time, helping us intimidate the radicals headed by Cocolia through the communicator..."

Welt: "That... I think..."

Einstein took up the topic very familiarly: "Then, because of excessive use of power, he coughed loudly in public and spit out a small mouthful of blood after the video conference. Now Dr. Tesla is forcing him to rest on the bed..."

The Herrscher of Reason raised his hand weakly: "In fact, my condition is much better than before. Luo Lin and Miss Elysia used the Divine Key to help me adjust my body..."

Tesla raised her voice, and her hair also "stretched its teeth and claws": "That's not a reason for you to overload!"

Welt knew he was in the wrong, so he changed the subject: "By the way, have you found the Valkyrie of Schicksal?"

"Miss Luo Lin?"

Einstein opened his terminal: "Indeed, we found her, but the confidentiality level is very high."

Welt scratched his head: "Well... then, is there any information about Kevin, the former civilization warrior? What about Mobius and Vill-V? And Elysia, Delta, Lost Rosemary..."

The Herrscher of Reason also remembered very clearly the "backup" that Luo Lin called out in the previous Bubble World. Now that he has returned to the real world, he must look for it.

"Kevin is quite famous. Many of the relics of the former civilization we have found praise him, such as the strongest MANTIS of the Fire Moth, the nemesis of the Herrscher... There are also records of Mobius and Vill-V, one is a well-known "devil" scientist, and the other is the head of the engineering department of the Fire Moth."

Einstein tapped the screen and added: "Interestingly, I found some information about Elysia in it... not much, but it can be confirmed that she is also from the former civilization. As for Delta and Lost Rosemary, there is no clue at present."

"Hiss... There are so many survivors of the former civilization?"

Welt rubbed his hands, unable to tell whether he was happy or worried—this time, there was truly an ancestor with explosive combat power waiting behind. However, the Herrscher of Reason could tell from the clues in their conversation with Luo Lin that the plans of their ancestors were obviously not aligned with ordinary humans.

"Have you finished asking? Drink the soup!" Tesla was still insistent, pointing to the chicken soup still steaming on the table.

"Tsk, I'll drink, I'll drink... Hey, it tastes pretty good this time."

Welt's eyes lit up.

"It was just a mistake last time!"

The red-haired person turned up her nose and said loudly: "I have studied cooking machines. Now I can perfectly make dozens of dishes. I can serve them with one click. The flavor is no less than that of human chefs..."

"Okay, Tesla, don't brag."

Einstein turned off the terminal, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "By the way, Welt, why did you react so strongly to Cocolia during the video conference a few days ago?"

"...Intuition."

Welt put down his bowl, his eyes sharp: "As far as I know, Cocolia is a person who loves her children, but when I told her about Seele Vollerie and Miss Bronya, she was somewhat indifferent... This is very unreasonable.

He paused: "The radicals seem to have all recognized Cocolia's leadership. The degree of synchronization between offense and defense is extremely high, just like one person operating... We conservatives can't do it so thoroughly, right?"

Einstein and Tesla both nodded: "Indeed."

The Herrscher of Reason narrowed his eyes: "So, they must be planning something big... I tried a little at the last meeting, but Cocolia reacted violently, and I could only use my aura to suppress it... Tsk, now that I think about it, this might also be her conspiracy to deal with my probing, right?"

Chapter 66

An exciting performance ended quickly. The curtain that dominated the theater covered the stage. The puppets watched the "important actors" leave, and then began chattering.

"Today's director seems to have found the door!"

"Humph, that's because she was lucky and caught a suitable timeline."

"Good luck is also part of strength. Unlucky people like you and me are not qualified to go on stage."

The puppet who was complained about covered his chest and was heartbroken. "Well, don't say it, don't say it... I also want to be a director!"

"Oh, thinking of the sadness and despair on Sirin's face just now, the girl she loved did not die in the collapse, but died at the hands of the people she protected. Well, it's not good!"

Another puppet clamped his legs together, breathing heavily, and a few seconds later he let out a sigh and collapsed on the ground.

There were also puppets shouting things like "party" and "celebration," joining in excitedly, and the scene suddenly became quite wild.

The puppets around were no longer surprised by this. Which of the partners in the theater isn't crazy?

"Making yourself happy is a little cheap and tiresome—it's better to make others suffer. Unfortunately, the big play in the theater can only be performed once every period of time, and you have to draw lots to be the director..."

A puppet looked at the absurd scene in front of her and stuck out her tongue. She reached out and grabbed a passerby. "Hey, have you seen that thorny pervert recently? Let's go find some fun?"

"Who?" The passerby was a little confused at first, but then he reacted. "Oh, the one who struggled for a long time after joining the theater. You mentioned that, and now I'm suddenly interested... Where should she be hanging out now?"

"Let's go find her!"

So the two of them set out together, flying around in the Theater of Domination, startling countless other puppets on the way, and finally found their target in a dark corner. It was also a doll of the Herrscher of Domination, but compared to the others, this one seemed to have more "personality."

She had golden, spiral-curled hair. Even though her body had been turned into a doll, tied up with golden thin wires and hung in the air, the ball joints, mold lines, and the doll clothes with a very strange style could not cover her ripe, peach-like body.

However, at this time, this special doll had scars all over her body, which were long, thin, and burned, made by various torture instruments. But from her expression, she didn't seem to dislike these; rather, she enjoyed them.

"I'm so sorry..."

The two dolls who came to look for her took a long whip from the guy waiting nearby and greeted the blonde doll. "We're here."

"Please," she replied with a smile.

"Snap!"

"Woo..."

This seemed to touch a switch, and the relaxed expression on the blonde puppet's face suddenly changed. As if waking up from a dream, she took a deep breath, and then fear and anger occupied her face.

"Who are you?! Where is this place!"

The puppet holding the whip exclaimed, "Wow, it's started! Her specialty is changing her face! She behaves just like an ordinary person!"

"Although this guy's taste is very perverted, I have to admit that her acting skills are at the peak!"

The puppet standing next to him wiped his tears, feeling quite angry that others were not appreciated. "I think if she is willing to go on the main stage, she will definitely become a great actor."

"Snap!"

Interest piqued, the whip puppet struck twice more. The blonde woman was in a trance for a few seconds, stiff and silent. Then the violent torture began, with various instruments taking turns. The blonde woman's tears and blood mixed and fell to the ground, gathering into a small pool of turbid liquid.

"Uh, what should we do next?" someone asked.

A puppet took out a notebook. "I have a script she left behind. If it's not exciting enough, you can follow this."

The whip puppet looked at it and exclaimed, "Oh my God, isn't this more professional than those crappy directors? They just kill people in seconds without leaving any residue!"

The blonde woman muttered in a low voice, "Damn monsters, you won't succeed..."

"Wow, so tough. Then look at who these are?"

The whip puppet moved his fingers and wove a light curtain with golden thread. In the light curtain was a group of trembling girls, crowded in a corner, with collars in the style of the Herrscher of Dominance hanging around their necks.

The woman who had been tortured and hadn't even breathed suddenly changed her expression. She called the names of the children in the light curtain with a trembling voice, "Lilia! Rosalia! Sin!..."

She remembered everyone, and after her call was transmitted to the other side, the children all cried, "Mom! Cocolia Mom!" "It's so dark here!" "Save us!"

The blonde woman struggled and twisted madly. "What the hell do you want to do, let my children go!"

The whip puppet didn't do anything, just waited. After a few minutes, the children were hung up by the silk thread. They struggled and made miserable sounds.

"Let them go, do anything to me... please."

"Wow..." The whip puppet hugged his arms and almost couldn't stand steadily. "What a beautiful expression..."

"Yes, I like this the most!"

"Wow, I can't stand it." (Falls down with a plop)

The puppets admired the changes in the expressions of Cocolia and the children, savoring the real despair and pain, and couldn't help but sigh. Such a scene is really worth savoring.

"Please..."

Cocolia watched the children's struggles gradually weaken and stop. She lowered her head humbly, trying her best to show... sincerity.

"It's almost there, it's almost the end."

"I can't see enough..."

The puppets gathered here sighed; the drama was about to end.

"It's useless, ma'am, because... you hung the ropes and collars on the children with your own hands."

The puppet whispered in the blonde woman's ear, "And you have long been one of us."

This sentence hit the blonde woman's ears like thunder. She was shocked. All the pain, despair, and pleading were paused. The expression of the special puppet of the Herrscher relaxed, and the motionless children suspended in the air in the light curtain became active again.

"Mom!" "Mom!" "Mom!"

So they were all puppets! But what happened just now was not at all like the self-entertainment of the Herrschers...

"Children, my children... You did a good job," the Herrscher said.

The puppets around applauded enthusiastically, expressing their respect for this great actor.

"Salute to you, Ms. Cocolia!" the whip-holding puppet said.

"Thank you, thank you, this is my own play... Do you like it? Everyone?" the Herrscher of the Law asked.

"I like it so much, it's so beautiful!" "It can be said to be heroic!"

The puppets expressed their love in a flurry of words.

"That's good. That's good..."

The blonde doll wiped away the blood and tears, raised her head, and looked through the heavy curtains at the real world.

"Oh, children... my lovely children... who else has not joined the theater?"

Chapter 67

"Sister Bronya?"

The girl with silver spiral hair came back to her senses, held Seele's hand, and sighed slightly.

Bronya was already familiar with the touch of Seele's palm, soft and gentle. She kneaded the other's palm slightly, then interlocked her fingers with Seele's.

"What are you thinking about, sister?" Seele asked.

"I miss my brothers and sisters in the orphanage."

The girl with silver spiral hair looked into Seele's sea-blue eyes, and her expression softened. "Bronya hasn't had time to announce to them that Seele is back, and..."

"And?"

Bronya blinked, recalling the gradually "anxious" atmosphere between Luo Lin, Sirin, and Sentience.

She touched her face, which was getting a little warmer, and whispered to Seele, "Bronya thinks that Bronya and Seele should not stop at this step. Seele, what do you think?"

"Ah..."

Seele tilted her head, not understanding what Bronya meant.

Soon, Veliona couldn't bear it anymore and said, "It's the stuff in the comics you usually read, confession, confession. Your elder sister is finally going to do something to you!"

"Huh?!"

Seele suddenly turned red like a "braised shrimp." She covered her face with her empty hand and whispered, "I see, that's it—well, I agree!"

Their relationship naturally took a step further, but for now, they leaned together and looked at the stars at night.

Seele muttered, "But, but... that kind of thing, it's not possible now?"

"Bronya knows. When the matter of Coral Island is dealt with, we will go together..." Bronya took a deep breath. "Well, we should be on a mission now, right? Some things are not auspicious to say at this time... Let's discuss it later."

"Well, Sister Bronya."

The two got closer, and a sweet atmosphere spread out.

"..."

The Herrscher of Sentience retracted her gaze at the two and accidentally saw Kiana, who was pestering Raiden Mei for snacks. She was unhappy and smacked her tongue, leaning against the wall with her arms folded, looking at Luo Lin, who was working.

Today, with everyone's hard work, the imaginary space probes on Coral Island have been installed, and the radar in the branch has been successfully connected to the grid under the guidance of Mobius and Vill-V. It is now scanning for abnormal information 24 hours a day.

The black-haired Valkyrie lay in front of a huge tactical table, calculating the data scanned by the radar probe while writing and drawing on the projected map, marking many abnormal locations.

Leila, Wu Fei, Ana, and the Valkyries of the Snow Lotus Squad sat in the chairs at the back, conducting research and analysis based on the signals Luo Lin set on the map and assigning tasks.

"Ana, this is a drug trafficking den. Take two people and handle it carefully," said the captain of the Snow Lotus Squad. "This is a warehouse, but previous intelligence shows that it is heavily guarded. Wu Fei, take a few smart people over there."

"And here, and here..."

A Valkyrie scratched her hair and said in a tone of utter disgrace, "Why don't we just wipe out the Thousand Fists? Look at the points marked by the senior, most of them are related to the Thousand Fists..."

Another Valkyrie hammered her shoulder. "Aren't there some people who have nothing to do with the Thousand Fists?"

"Those who are related to Anti-Entropy are the same group as the Thousand Fists, bad guys!"

"Isn't your rounding a little exaggerated?!"

"Hey! The equipment sent by your Overseer has arrived!"

Elysia ran in with a big box. She opened it excitedly and distributed the Gnius devices inside to the Valkyries. "Wow, new equipment!"

"What, is it sent by the bishop? Then I must have one."

Archbishop Otto was indeed fast enough. A batch of brand-new Gnius devices arrived at the Coral Island branch today with the transport plane (Luo Lin suspected that the blond man had rubbed some of them with his hands).

Miss Pink Elf saw that everyone was busy here, so she volunteered to go out and bring the things back from the airport.

She was not stopped by anyone along the way. After all, everyone who saw Elysia thought she was one of them, and then nodded and said hello.

Elysia scanned her face all the way to the airport, and returned the same way after the work.

Wait, people may be deceived, but the machine will not recognize Elysia's "affinity," right?

The Gnius hacker Bronya, whose hands were not clean, nodded silently. She would not say that Miss Pink Elf came to her specifically to get a set of passes... uh, the kind that might also work in anti-entropy.

Luo Lin pressed her temples and exhaled. "Huh, there are a lot of manual calculations today. After optimizing the algorithm later, I should be able to take a break..."

"Rest? Come and eat something."

The Herrscher of Sentience seemed to be waiting for this opportunity. She got a drink and a small cake from somewhere and then looked at Luo Lin.

"... I always feel that you are too active. Now is not the time to do this, right?"

"Try it?"

Luo Lin was a little helpless. She put down the things in her hands and found an empty chair to sit down.

Senti raised the spoon with great interest and took a small spoonful of cake to the black-haired girl's mouth.

"Eat, why not." Luo Lin swallowed it in one gulp, then chewed and muttered, "After eating, go talk to Xi Lin..."

The Herrscher of Sentience almost poked the spoon into Luo Lin's nose. She sighed, "Oh my God, look at the atmosphere, isn't it good?"

"I told you it's not the right time. Look at Bronya..." Luo Lin showed dead eyes. "Huh? Didn't she vow to work hard to find the twins and her sister two days ago? Why is she hanging out with Seele?"

"It's a natural thing." Senti shook her head. "Next bite, ah~"

"Hmm... Kiana is also very close to Raiden Mei, this is normal." Luo Lin chewed and felt something was wrong. "But why do other people look so... enthusiastic? I know Elysia is very popular, but they shouldn't gather in a circle and cheer, right?"

"Elysia!" "Elysia!"

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Elysia, who was stuck in the middle, decisively handed the box containing Gnius to Captain Leila, who was still normal, and rushed out of the crowd in a difficult posture.

"What's going on?" She was a little confused.

"No! This sudden surge of emotions..."

Luo Lin's expression suddenly became solemn. She watched the colors representing emotions on everyone's bodies gradually become turbid, exuding a dangerous smell.

"Senti, freeze everyone—the Herrscher of Domination has taken action!"

Chapter 68

Following Luo Lin's order, the Herrscher of Sentience's eyes emitted red light, and black and red feathers flashed by. All those who were abnormally emotional felt an invisible impact and froze in place.

"Everyone, listen to me, [Keep Calm]!"

The black-haired Valkyrie immediately activated the [Emotional Diffusion] skill. The slight fluctuation spread out from Luo Lin, instantly covering the entire Coral Island branch. Within the skill's range, everyone felt a cold sensation, like a mountain stream flowing through their bodies. The rising excitement was suppressed by this coldness, quickly returning to normal levels.

"Luo Lin, you were right, everyone's emotions were indeed abnormally high just now!" the Herrscher of Sentience complained. She wiped the sweat from her head and looked back at Luo Lin.

At this moment, Luo Lin was adjusting the frequency and intensity of her emotional diffusion skill, fighting against the force still affecting everyone's emotions.

"Same frequency, interference, counterattack..." Soon, Luo Lin found a way to dispel the hostile force. "Okay, Senti, continue to calm everyone! I'm going to take down that guy's lair! Elysia, follow me!" The black-haired girl shouted and ran out of the room with a clear goal.

"Coming!" Miss Pink Elf quickly followed.

When Luo Lin used [Emotional Diffusion] to stabilize everyone's emotions, the escaping emotional fluctuations seemed to have an additional effect, revealing several golden threads in Luo Lin's field of vision.

"Mimicry Cosmic Juggernaut!" Luo Lin decisively took out the Key of Revelation, and the golden locomotive appeared. As the Divine Key that can directly peek into the imaginary space and the quantum sea, it easily broke the illusion cast by the Herrscher of Dominance.

As expected, as soon as Cosmic Juggernaut appeared, Luo Lin successfully captured the movement of the golden thread. It pointed to a location a little distance from the Coral Island branch, where the Herrscher of Dominance had performed some "tricks" to influence the people in the branch.

"Aili, hold on to me!"

Without time to think, Luo Lin turned around, bent down slightly, and directly hugged the pink fairy lady in her arms. Then, the Moon Ring on Luo Lin's wrist activated, and the Edge of Taixuan formed a barrel-like structure around Luo Lin. The black-haired girl stacked a circle of shields for herself and clenched her teeth—

"Boom!"

Luo Lin and Elysia were directly "launched" out, leaving a cool white tail behind them. Fortunately, it was still daytime, so the traces left by Luo Lin were not very conspicuous...

"What the hell are you doing?!" Elysia was stunned.

"Every second counts, we can't let it get away!"

In just over ten seconds, Luo Lin had flown over the destination. She looked down and locked onto the target along the violently trembling golden thread that seemed to want to hide. In a corner of an empty construction site, a woman wearing a yellow safety helmet stared at Luo Lin stiffly.

"Wow, are you a human or a ghost?!"

The sub-body of the Herrscher of Dominance looked at the white tail in the sky and felt unwell. She originally thought that no matter how fast the Valkyrie of the Coral Island branch was, it would take several minutes to arrive even with a transport ship.

Unexpectedly, the plan was ruined by someone, and the troublesome black-haired woman broke in right after.

"Damn it, take this attack of mine!"

The sub-body shook her wrist, and several golden silk threads slid from her cuffs to the ground, penetrating it as if melting. Then, with a strong pull, several imaginary monsters were pulled out.

"Die!"

Luo Lin didn't waste any words. She landed with her flying sword in a fierce manner, emptying the HP of the imaginary construct's shell on the spot. At the moment when their cores turned from virtual to real, Elysia's crystal arrow broke through the smoke and completed the finishing blow.

As is well known, when people face a crisis, they burst out with power that surprises even themselves. The Herrscher is no exception, and this sub-body of the Herrscher of Dominance even more so. With the help of these newly pulled monsters as cover, the sub-body ran a long distance, faster and farther than she had expected.

Even Miss Pink Elf couldn't help but sigh, "How can this be faster than the breakthrough level?"

The sub-body of the Herrscher of Dominance ran as fast as she could, but Luo Lin was relentless. The black-haired girl danced with sword flowers, instantly breaking the surrounding silk threads with white sword energy, which illuminated the astonished face of the Herrscher of Dominance who had escaped there.

"I told you, you can't escape!"

Luo Lin raised her gun and shot. The bullet broke the arm of the woman in the helmet. The woman cried out in pain and shouted, "You're too inhumane, aren't you? This is the body of an ordinary citizen! Don't you feel guilty for attacking directly?"

"What a joke? After I show my morality, will you give me a chance to rescue the victim? Even if I rescue them, will you not make a backup plan?"

Luo Lin responded with another string of bullets, piercing the legs of the Herrscher sub-body: "Or, after I let you go, you'll create new victims and then turn around and blame me?"

The woman in the helmet broke into a cold sweat: "I think you are very qualified to join us. Don't you plan to change sides? There's a lot you could do with us, Miss Luo Lin."

"Da Da Da!"

The black-haired girl ended with a flying sword, piercing the heart of the Herrscher sub-body. The white sword energy burst out, forming a spherical "cage," trapping the small Herrscher core that was about to escape from the body.

Luo Lin did not speak. She looked around vigilantly. Sword Ki and flying swords accumulated around her again. Elysia also stood back to back with her. The overwhelming crystal fragments swept the narrow cracks of this imaginary space like plowing the ground, hitting several other hidden sub-bodies of the Herrscher of Dominance.

These sub-bodies that appeared later all looked like classic puppets, with eye masks, tights, and strange little horns on their heads.

[You are also defending against this?!]

[With so many hidden techniques, you must have a very unhappy life!]

The puppets cursed.

"If you are unhappy, I will be happy!"

Luo Lin stabilized the surrounding space and the coordinates of the return in advance, then teased, "Do you have any backup plans?"

The puppets began to accuse the trapped one: [Damn, how did you get caught?]

"I'm almost dead, save me!" The sub-body with only the core left howled, "I don't want to be taken away for research!"

[She's just an ordinary Valkyrie, let's fight together!]

[Charge! Kill!]

The puppets shouted strange words, simultaneously summoning a bunch of dead soldiers and Honkai beasts, and throwing them at Luo Lin and Elysia.

"I thought you still had other abilities, but I didn't expect..." Halfway through the words, Luo Lin was shocked, "Ah? How come there is an imaginary bull?"

An old friend with a black and gold color and a huge crown fell from the sky. The noise when it landed was so loud that several Herrscher puppets almost fell to the ground.

[What a big imaginary construct!]

The puppets also exclaimed, then looked at each other in confusion: [Who released it?]

[Not me!]

[Not me!]

[But it looks like a friendly force!]

"Damn, this can't be a monster added by the event level?!"

Luo Lin seemed to have thought of something. She quickly opened the event panel and then showed a look of pain.

[Investigation Mission: Defeat the Strong Enemy (Unfinished)]

"I knew it--!"

!

Chapter 69

Imaginary Bull, an old friend, did not scare Luo Lin at all when she saw it.

The black-haired Valkyrie used the Edge of Taixuan to poke it twice, and seeing the percentage of the health bar drop, she knew that this imaginary Bull was basically the same as the third boss of Pain. She could almost cosplay as Su and deal with it with her eyes closed.

This is muscle memory, or rather, fat memory.

Luo Lin's main headache was the few Dominance Puppets next to her. They originally wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but the air wall of the venue after the game has always been "rigorous," circling everyone and not allowing them to leave until they were beaten.

The puppets hit the "south wall" several times, making themselves dizzy, and finally agreed that this was Luo Lin's ability (in a sense, it was).

After that, the puppets began to cause trouble next to her, making subterfuge actions: sometimes throwing a few zombies and Honkai beasts, and sometimes using Honkai energy to condense claws similar to claw machines, sneak attacking the black-haired girl from the sky.

Luo Lin stumbled through the process, so she had to choose to deal with those Herrscher of Dominance puppets first, at least to the extent that they would not affect her handling of the boss.

The black-haired girl chased the puppets, and the imaginary bull chased Luo Lin, leaving behind many innocent zombies, Honkai beasts, and imaginary monsters along the way. The scene was extremely tragic.

[Don't come over here--ah!]

The grenade thrown by Luo Lin blew the puppet away and hit the air wall. Then the crystal arrow that followed sealed the puppet with a distorted expression in it.

"Okay, the last one!" Luo Lin looked at the freshly baked crystal ambers that sealed the puppets on the sidelines and sighed, "It's time to fight the imaginary bull. If I don't fight it, I'm afraid it will have some violent killing mechanism!"

Luo Lin turned around immediately with Elysia and fought with the imaginary boss who kept charging the "ox cart." The battle was very lively.

Although the dominant puppets sealed in the crystal were seriously injured and dying, they still had the heart to cause trouble.

Several puppets made a desperate decision and decided to build a small "network" with the special connection between the sub-bodies of the Herrscher of Dominance, and then concentrate their strength to release one of the best-conditioned ones from the crystal seal.

Although the price of this release was that the other sub-bodies present (and the one trapped in the sword energy cage) would die directly, the chosen puppet would have to abandon its body and most of the power sealed by the crystal, attacking in the state of a half-crippled Herrscher core.

But at this critical moment of life and death, the Herrscher of Dominance could only put aside other thoughts and try to fight back.

Luo Lin, who had freed up her hands to deal with the imaginary bull, had already beaten it into the transition stage. After the invincible core hanging in the sky released several waves of imaginary meteors, it fell down with powerful energy. The high-intensity AOE attack of almost the entire field almost turned the dominant puppet core that came out to attack into ashes.

What a close call!

In a flash, the puppet core rushed over while Luo Lin was busy dodging the AOE, turned into a stream of light, and directly hit... uh, hit Luo Lin's Taixu sword energy.

"You guys are still too noisy!"

Faced with Luo Lin's scolding, the core of the Herrscher of Dominance laughed wildly: [Haha, I've been waiting for your move! Power, plunder everything!]

Luo Lin was startled, and she suddenly remembered that the Herrscher of Dominance also had a move of waiting for others to send attacks, and then using the power of domination to steal the opponent's power.

[Oh, the feeling is coming!]

The next moment, a golden light flashed, and the light on the Herrscher of Dominance lit up: [Why can't I pull powers from you?!]

Luo Lin quickly glanced at her Valkyrie panel and found that everything on the skill panel was lit, without any abnormal movement, and immediately laughed: "How do you say that sentence, you don't have the heart of a strong man!"

- In addition, the system is awesome!

[Damn it!!]

The black-haired Valkyrie didn't give the other party a chance to react. She hit the core with a heavy blow, which turned it into a dim state. It fell to the ground with a thud and was completely motionless.

The rest was to deal with the second-stage imaginary bull. It was basically a formulaic process. After a round of bombing, sword energy, and crystal arrows, the boss shattered into light spots, and the tasks on the activity panel were successfully completed.

Luo Lin had time to go back and deal with the domineering puppets. She removed the crystal seal and the sword energy cage, looked at the body and core inside that had lost their voice and vitality, and fell into deep thought.

"Take all these back, Mobius needs more accurate samples." The black-haired Valkyrie took a photo by the way, "Check the identity of the man wearing the helmet, maybe we can find other clues about the Herrscher of Dominance."

On the way back, Luo Lin did not fly back from the air as she did when she came, because she found that the people around her were watching the excitement near the trajectory of the "Human Cannon" flying, and there were a bunch of "Urban Strange Talk Group" and "Store Exploration Anchor" and other anchors holding their mobile phones to take pictures.

Senti is not around now, and she can't erase the memory of everyone in such a large area with the Mimic Fenghuang Down.

After returning to the Coral Island branch in a low-key manner, Luo Lin found that Leila had raised the alert level to combat readiness, and the Valkyries had arranged sentry posts and were fully armed to guard the surroundings.

As soon as she entered the door, Senti came to greet her: "You are back, what's going on over there?"

Luo Lin waved her hand: "We have already cut off the sub-bodies of the Herrscher who attacked us, and now we are going to give their cores to Mobius for research."

"Luo Lin! Thanks to you!"

Leila also appeared in a hurry. The captain of the Snow Lotus Squad covered her chest in annoyance. When the Herrscher affected everyone's emotions before, she actually noticed that something was wrong, but she didn't pay attention to this feeling, so she suffered a lot.

Luo Lin patted the other person's shoulder: "It's okay, it was a sneak attack by the Herrscher after all, and there was no big problem on our side... It should be okay, right?"

"Well, when people were extremely emotional, they couldn't help but destroy some daily necessities in the branch and smashed a few computers." Leila scratched her head, "And someone accidentally blew up the toilet..."

Luo Lin was stunned: "No, how could there be a toilet explosion!"

Leila's expression became even more embarrassed: "The Valkyrie also has to squat on the toilet... The emotions were out of control, and the force of the hand was not controlled well, so the toilet was kicked and exploded..."

"Stand still."

Luo Lin gave some of the "trophies" she had just obtained to Leila, and asked the scientists of the branch not to be idle and do some basic work. The rest were all sent to Mobius and Vill-V.

Then, Luo Lin went to visit her companions without stopping to observe their situation.

Su had nothing to say. He had a strong self-control ability and was not affected at all. After discovering the abnormality, he calmed down several Valkyries and staff members nearby.

Kiana and Raiden Mei were also people who had lost control before, so they were not unfamiliar with this kind of thing. Moreover, Luo Lin's psychological therapy improved their tolerance for mental and emotional abnormalities. Even Sirin remained relatively calm.

As for Bronya, although the girl with silver-haired spiral curls did have this idea about Seele, after calming down, she felt that she confessed too quickly and found a place to shut herself up.

Seele was happy to see her relationship with Bronya go further, but Veliona was quite annoyed: "Damn it, the Herrscher of Dominance, right? I will remember you! The other me, next time I see them, let me take action and tear them apart directly!"

Dare to interfere with Seele? You don't want to live, right!

With the power of the Sea of Quanta, Veliona rubbed her hands, eager to try, wanting to see whether the Herrscher's head was harder or her claws were sharper...

...

"It's really interesting."

The blue girl tapped her lips, her eyes seemed to have passed through countless obstacles and saw the situation on the scene.

"So where did the thief go?"

The golden girl suddenly appeared and asked the blue girl.

"There's no one in the nearby sea. I've checked. It should be on you."

The golden girl smacked her lips: "The power of this body is not that strong. It's really troublesome to deal with the habitual criminal who is pure energy and good at disguise."

The blue girl asked lazily: "Why don't you go ask that cabbage head? Isn't she still chasing thieves around the world with people?"

"Humph, I can do it too!"

"You'd better be."

*Chapter 70*

Although Luo Lin quickly stopped the Herrscher of Dominance this time, the various abnormalities caused by disrupted emotions in the base made the ordinary staff and logistics Valkyries realize that the branch had been "attacked" in some way.

Now, they were wondering who dared to trouble Tianming.

Many suspected it was a new weapon of Anti-Entropy, some believed it was the "crazy attacker" rumored recently (Raven and Chen Tianwu sneezed a few times), and others guessed it was aliens.

But most didn't pay much attention. After all, Luo Lin had eliminated the "source" too quickly for them to grasp the seriousness of the situation. They even shouted about sending people out to destroy the enemy in minutes.

"Some are too optimistic..."

Luo Lin felt it was time to be frank with the others in the base and describe the current situation of Coral Island. You can't let people remain unaware of the battle against the Herrscher of Dominance, right? That's playing a joke with their lives.

After a brief discussion with Leila, Luo Lin chose a time to gather the staff of the Coral Island branch for a briefing, laying everything out concisely.

Luo Lin stood on the podium, her eyes sweeping over the representatives of various departments below, and her figure was transmitted to other branch members not in the meeting room via Coral Island's internal channel.

"To make a long story short, the collapse has come again, and this time our opponent is a Herrscher, the Herrscher of Dominance."

This heavyweight news left everyone dizzy and dazed.

Some couldn't help rubbing their faces, struggling to accept the information that a Herrscher had appeared again, and on Coral Island no less. Others showed visible hesitation.

"Their abilities are strange. They are good at manipulating and disrupting human thoughts and emotions, creating societal chaos, undermining trust among companions, and quickly maneuvering through the transfer station in the imaginary space..."

The representatives in the conference room had serious expressions and frowned. They had noticed the recent frequent movements of Luo Lin and Leila's group on Coral Island, but now that the intelligence had been declassified, their moods became heavy.

"Fortunately, we have countermeasures for all of this."

Luo Lin's steady voice echoed in everyone's ears: "The radar and probe matrix of Coral Island have been deployed to capture suspicious movements, and we can make targeted adjustments until we finally locate the Herrscher of Dominance."

Some staff members looked up suddenly, realization dawning: "I said there were so many people on the radar a few days ago and the transport vehicles were running back and forth. It turned out they were doing upgrades?"

"Although the Herrscher can control and influence our thoughts and emotions, firm confidence and will can enable us to confront him."

The black-haired Valkyrie continued: "Headquarters has sent special talents with expertise in the spiritual field to provide additional protection, and targeted equipment will arrive soon."

Luo Lin's eyes swept over the Herrscher of Sentience and Su. The former proudly puffed up her chest, exuding an aura of confidence. As for the latter, he also wanted to do more, but unfortunately, Su had not recovered much, and taking action cost burning more of his life—although he was quite willing, Luo Lin thought it best to avoid it.

If he insisted on taking action, Luo Lin could only bring out the ultimate weapon and stuff a bunch of small skirts that fit Su's body shape into Elysia's hands.

"In addition, the Genius device provided by headquarters has been distributed to all action personnel, and the Muville base holding the Second Divine Key is also providing support to prevent people from being trapped in the imaginary slit."

The Valkyries looked at the pocket watch-like devices in their hands with determination.

"I need to emphasize that the above information about the Herrscher is based on our current observations and inferences. We don't know if it has hidden means. I hope everyone remains vigilant during battles and investigations."

Luo Lin's eyes flashed with determination as she issued an order: "Finally, believe in your comrades, believe in destiny, and believe in me—we can solve this crisis."

"Yes!"

Everyone saluted the black-haired girl, then threw themselves into a new round of actions with enthusiasm and confidence.

Leila looked at Luo Lin with admiration: "As expected of a Valkyrie directly under the Overseer, you are very talented in all aspects... If I had to give this kind of speech, it wouldn't be as effective."

Luo Lin moved her shoulders and smiled bitterly: "Just practice more, these skills are forced out..."

Shi Bao's expression was subtle: "Why do I feel like I'm back in the past? Dr. Luo Lin, when will you let Ana take care of logistics?"

After several stigmata resonance experiments, Ana had gained many memories of the Bubble World isotopes, which happened to be about logistics management.

"No, I'm different from the people in that bubble world. I'm good at fighting!" The chestnut-haired Valkyrie shuddered, "I don't want to deal with people who have all kinds of ideas in their heads all day long!"

"Uh... this is quite different from the bubble world, right?"

Luo Lin looked at the people whispering in the conference room, and her expression relaxed a little: "Everyone is a professional, with full enthusiasm and morale, and enough resources. Otto is watching behind, and a phone call can call a few transport ships..."

The Herrscher of Sentience pointed out mercilessly: "There is also a whole city of people who are unaware of the Honkai and cannot be informed, a bunch of other organizations with ulterior motives and not on the same path, and the Herrscher of Dominance who has not yet been figured out..."

Luo Lin waved her hands helplessly: "Okay, okay, the pressure is back, everything is back."

"Ding Ding Ding~"

The black-haired Valkyrie took out her personal terminal, and the caller was Otto Apocalypse.

"Bishop!"

"Nice speech, Luo Lin. I believe you can do everything you said." Otto said, "Although I know you're a little busy now, I have a very important discovery to tell you."

"Go ahead."

"First, the extra data in the imaginary coordinates you collected does represent [time]... from other parallel worlds, Bubble Worlds, or something else."

"?!"

Even through the screen, Luo Lin could feel the almost fanatical light in the depths of the blond man's eyes.

"Secondly, the Herrscher of Dominance can indeed use this [time coordinate] to influence the real world." The blond man added: "However, judging from their current actions, this operation is quite 'energy-consuming,' the conditions for effectiveness are very harsh, and it is strongly related to the location of the Coral Island—otherwise they would have freed up their hands and stirred up trouble worldwide." Otto paused: "The Coral Island is a very important area. There are Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, the United Nations... various major forces are mixed here, and in a sense, it can be regarded as a miniature human society." He concluded: "I think it wants to use the Coral Island as a [fulcrum] to anchor the entire [world] and lead everything to a destroyed future."

Chapter 71

"...You don't look surprised."

The blond man raised his eyebrows.

"I had some guesses before, and now they are true..."

Luo Lin pursed her slightly dry lips and looked at Otto.

Time, time... This is what Otto Apocalypse values most. Now that an opportunity is within reach, how could the blond man not be tempted?

Otto seemed to read something in the black-haired Valkyrie's eyes. He smiled twice and spread his hands: "You can rest assured that I will not do anything before the threat of the Herrscher of Dominance is completely over."

Does that mean he will definitely act afterward?

Luo Lin felt a bit relieved by the blond man's statement: "Thank you, Overseer."

"You don't have to look at me terrified, Miss Luo Lin."

Otto tapped his temple and said: "I am just an ordinary human. If human civilization suffers serious losses or even destruction, the wisdom and abilities I have now will not be able to play a full role, like a castle in the air... and without me, the world will still run as before."

He paused and said: "In the final analysis, it is I who need everything in this world, not the world that needs me."

"Ahaha..." Luo Lin just smiled, "What else? What's going on, Bishop?"

"I will send you the research report on the Herrscher's manipulation of time. The content should be helpful. Remember to collect more data."

Otto seemed to remember something and added: "By the way, if you want to contact your friends in Anti-Entropy, you have to hurry and seize the time. After all, that place is not like Schicksal, where you have first-hand information, and there are all kinds of means against the Herrscher..."

The blond man smiled gloatingly: "Maybe after a while, there will be no Anti-Entropy organization."

Otto hung up, leaving Luo Lin alone in a daze.

"... Anti-Entropy is not so weak, right? Where is Welt? Save Welt!"

The black-haired Valkyrie became more uneasy and quickly ran towards Kiana, Raiden Mei, and Bronya. She lowered her voice and shouted: "Hurry up and call your parents in Anti-Entropy, hurry up, the Herrscher of Dominance may have infiltrated Anti-Entropy and is doing damage there!!"

"Ah?"

Kiana tilted her head, not fully grasping what Luo Lin had said, but Raiden Mei and Bronya were shocked and almost jumped up to cover Luo Lin's mouth.

Raiden Mei was a little upset: "Is this a topic that can be discussed in public?!"

Bronya had a similar expression. She was a real Anti-Entropy spy, completely different from Mei, who could only go around and be considered an irrelevant family member.

"Oh, even the old thief Otto just told me directly that it's better to contact Anti-Entropy sooner rather than later, which means he doesn't care about these issues now."

Luo Lin waved her hand: "Let's find a place to call quickly! Oh, the dormitory should be fine!"

After that, she took the lead and rushed to the dormitory with everyone at high speed.

After Bronya used the heavy-duty bunny to set up a soundproof stand in the room, Kiana finally reacted: "Hey? Want to contact your dad? And who did you just say was a thief?"

"Beep..."

Raiden Mei had already dialed the video call. She stared at the terminal nervously. After a few seconds, the call was connected.

"Hello? Mei? What's wrong with you..."

Raiden Ryoma appeared on the screen. He looked older than Luo Lin had seen before, and he was obviously tired. The man was sitting behind a desk, busy dealing with something.

"Father..."

Mei opened her mouth. She hadn't contacted Raiden Ryoma for a long time. Luo Lin suddenly asked her to call. The girl's personality was still relatively gentle and introverted. She couldn't think of what to say at once.

Ryoma thought for a moment, his expression becoming serious: "Are you safe now? Do you need me to rescue you?"

"No, no, no, that's not the case. I'm quite safe!"

Raiden Mei waved her hands in panic, then said awkwardly: "Actually, Senior Luo Lin asked me to call you. She has something to tell you... Well, that's it."

The girl with long blue-purple hair handed the phone to Luo Lin. She raised the phone and adjusted the position of the camera to frame Kiana and Bronya behind her.

"Mr. Ryoma, the latest information is that the Herrscher of Dominance has appeared. He was also known as the Herrscher of Legion in the previous civilization. He is good at splitting his core and controlling human thoughts and emotions." Luo Lin said hurriedly: "We captured his movements on Coral Island. The other party tried to use the city of Coral Island to implement a conspiracy that could affect all of humanity. In addition, according to Otto Apocalypse, Anti-Entropy seems to have been infiltrated by the Herrscher of Dominance, and the situation is quite bad!"

"Herrscher?!"

Raiden Ryoma was stunned for a moment, then showed sudden realization: "No wonder the recent actions of the Anti-Entropy radicals seem so wrong. It turns out the Herrscher is behind it! What did you say just now? The Herrscher of Dominance? Does he have the power to control human thinking?"

"Yes." Luo Lin nodded, "I will send you a drawing of the scanning equipment and the relevant data of the Herrscher of Dominance later, which can roughly confirm the individuals affected by the Herrscher of Dominance... Ryoma, I hope you can meet up with Siegfried or Welt Yang as soon as possible. Their fighting power and will are enough to deal with the sub-body of the Herrscher of Dominance."

"I understand. Siegfried is with me now; I'll call him over."

Raiden Ryoma is also a straightforward character. He immediately tapped a few times on his personal terminal: "Siegfried, remember Miss Luo Lin of Schicksal? She contacted us, and she has information about the new Herrscher of Dominance. Come quickly!"

Siegfried was shocked: "Herrscher?! I'll be there soon!"

A few seconds later, the window of Raiden Ryoma's office was knocked, and the white-haired man rushed in from there.

"I didn't have time to wait for the elevator, so I climbed up directly."

Siegfried said this and ran to Raiden Ryoma. He looked at the conspicuous white hair on the screen and smiled slightly: "Ha, my dear daughter, you are here too!"

Kiana stuck out her tongue: "Dad, you should listen to the new information. Something big has happened!"

"Well, what's the situation with the new Herrscher?"

Luo Lin told Raiden Ryoma and Siegfried all the information she had, which also served as a small review of recent actions.

"...In short, I suggest you be vigilant. Please pass this information to Welt Young, the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, Tesla, and Dr. Einstein."

The black-haired Valkyrie said seriously: "Although the data I provide can scan the areas and personnel affected by the Herrscher of Dominance, the Herrscher of Dominance is not dead. They will definitely respond. I don't know how long the characteristic data provided to you will be useful..."

Raiden Ryoma looked at the data received on the terminal and nodded with satisfaction: "It's okay, our scientific researchers are not idle; they will do further research. You have helped a lot."

Siegfried wiped his nose and raised his thumb: "Don't worry, Miss Luo Lin, the Herrscher of Dominance is definitely not my opponent. With Judgement of Shamash in hand, I guarantee they will die one by one!"

Luo Lin expressed her concerns: "It's better to be careful. I really recommend you join Welt..."

"Okay, okay, you are right. It is indeed time for the Anti-Entropy Alliance to take action in this situation. Ryoma, you should have Welt's contact information, right?"

"Of course I do..." Raiden Ryoma nodded, "I will send a message to them right away."

Ryoma began to type on the keyboard, and Siegfried shook his head, suddenly remembering something. His expression became gloomy: "Tsk, the radicals were not so radical before. Now it seems it's all the work of the Herrscher of Dominance... In this case, I think Cocolia is probably finished."

"Mom?!"

Bronya's heart seemed to be hit hard, her pupils shrank, and she couldn't help but scream.

*Chapter 72*

Raiden Ryoma looked at the excited silver-haired, spiral-curled girl on the screen and thought of something: "Well, my daughter mentioned you, Bronya. She said you are also a member of Anti-Entropy. Are you an orphan adopted by Cocolia?"

"Yes," Bronya replied anxiously. "Is there a problem with Mother Cocolia?"

The two men on the other side of the call looked at each other and sighed simultaneously.

"It should be said that all the radicals of Anti-Entropy have problems. You all know that because of the Anti-Entropy system, our executors come from various backgrounds. Although Cocolia is the nominal leader of the radicals, her executors have their own thoughts and factions."

Raiden Ryoma tapped the table with his index finger and whispered, "But not long ago, Cocolia completely 'unified' the radicals and even won the support of some centrists and conservatives who originally opposed her. They advanced and retreated together on many issues..."

He shook his head. "I thought she had used some magic or paid some price. Now it seems that Cocolia may have become a member of the Ruler of Rule."

Bronya opened her mouth, shook her head vigorously, and murmured, "No, I don't believe it... I want to call my mother. She would never..."

Everyone watched as Bronya, trembling, took out her personal terminal and dialed a number. After a long time, when almost everyone thought the call would not connect, the screen flashed a few times, and a blonde beauty appeared.

She had long golden hair, with two spiral curls of the same style as Bronya but smaller, framing her cheeks. Her purple eyes swept over Luo Lin and the others before fixing on Bronya.

"Bronya Zaychik..."

"...Mom... are you okay?" Bronya asked almost pleadingly.

Cocolia watched all this indifferently and shook her head imperceptibly. "You disappoint me."

The girl with silver-haired spiral curls was struck by lightning and froze.

Cocolia did not give Bronya time to react and said, "You failed to recover Raiden Mei successfully, which led to the failure of the operation in Changkong City. After sneaking into St. Freya Academy, you did not send me much useful internal information, and now you are mixed with conservative people..."

Raiden Mei tightened her grip on Bronya, and the girl with silver-haired spiral curls could feel this. She trembled and whispered, "Mei, I..."

"I knew about that a long time ago, Bronya, and I don't care."

The girl with long blue-purple hair supported her partner in a steady voice: "We are friends now, aren't we?"

"What are you talking about?" Kiana scratched her head, her eyes clear, and it was obvious that the paramecium's brain had no intention of turning.

"Mom! You're going too far!" Seele suddenly stood up, snatched the terminal from Bronya, and looked at Cocolia with her blue eyes.

"...Seele Freya, you..." Cocolia seemed to want to say something but after a few seconds, immediately frowned and asked Seele: "Why didn't you contact me after you came back?"

"Mom, I asked Mr. Welt to send you a message!"

"The leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance is too hypocritical, and his words are not credible. Besides, I spent so much time and so many people's lives just to find your trace in the quantum sea... But after you came back, you didn't think of your mother first?"

The blonde woman's eyes were filled with obvious disgust and hostility. "My initial feeling was right. You are not suitable for the X-10 experiment... You are too weak and have no opinions. It's a waste of everything I have paid."

Seele opened her eyes wide, obviously not expecting Cocolia to become like this. Under the strong impact, her eyes changed from blue to crimson.

Before the extremely angry Veliona could speak, Bronya took back the terminal and glared at the blonde woman.

"Mom! Seele did the experiment for me and everyone in the orphanage. How can you deny her like this..."

"Hmph, I found that I was too indulgent with you before, Zaychik, and Freya. Now my children have their own duties and have become useful talents in Anti-Entropy... I don't need you anymore."

Cocolia narrowed her eyes, and a golden light flashed faintly in her purple eyes. "For the sake of you being my daughters, I have a piece of advice: leave Coral Island and stay in a corner where no one will ever find you - don't come to bother me."

The next moment, the communication was interrupted, and the blonde woman disappeared.

"What the hell is that bitch talking about?! Is there shit in her head?!"

Veliona's ahoge stood up in anger, and the dark blood-red power condensed around her, making the furniture in the dormitory creak miserably.

Bronya was pale, swaying, and almost unable to stand.

Luo Lin immediately supported the girl's shoulders, and Kiana and Raiden Mei also hurried over to support the silver-haired girl.

"Mom... doesn't want me anymore..."

"Cheer up!"

Mei was at a loss, and she immediately asked for help from someone she trusted: "Sister Luo Lin!"

"..."

Luo Lin silently gave Bronya a round of emotional diffusion, which calmed the girl with silver-haired spiral curls.

Bronya covered her face, and a faint voice flowed out from between her fingers: "How could it be... like this..."

Veliona restrained some of her strength, then came to the silver-haired spiral girl and took the initiative to hold Bronya's face: "Sister, don't worry about that woman anymore. She doesn't want you. Let's live a good life!"

"That's right! Look how harmonious our destiny is... At least the Far East Branch is a harmonious and friendly big family!" Kiana was busy comforting Bronya. "If it doesn't work, I will give you my father and aunt, and I will be your sister, okay?!"

"Kiana?!"

Siegfried's expression twisted, and he patted his head helplessly. "How can you comfort people like this? Huh?"

"Damn dad, what do you say?!"

"I don't know!" The white-haired man said righteously. "Ask your friends more. My brother Ryoma and I will go communicate with Welt first. Contact us later if there is news!"

Siegfried hung up the phone as if he was running away.

"..."

Bronya put down her hand, her eyes still moist. Her expression seemed calm, but the depths of her eyes had turned into dead silence.

"Sister Bronya..."

Veliona seemed unable to handle this situation and quickly returned her body to Seele. The blue-eyed girl hugged Bronya without saying a word, letting her lean on her chest.

Bronya murmured, "Mom..."

Luo Lin looked at the girl with silver-haired spiral curls, her feelings mixed.

"Ding!"

The black-haired girl glanced at her personal terminal, then raised her eyebrows. "Huh? What? Olenyeva Sisters was found?! Bronya, look!"

The silver-haired, spiral-curled girl blinked, and a subtle light rose in her eyes again.

Chapter 73

Let's go back a little bit. When Luo Lin and Leila were discussing and preparing to explain the current situation to the members of the Coral Island branch, Wu Fei, the deputy captain of the Snow Lotus Squad, received a special instruction from Luo Lin:

"I heard from Captain Leila that you have a good relationship with Dr. Heathers. You have seen the situation here now. Please, Wu Fei, find a way to get the doctor back to the branch."

The black-haired Valkyrie felt that it was too dangerous to let the important characters who appeared in the PV run outside at this time. Anyway, send someone to get Heathers back first.

"Yes!"

Wu Fei agreed very happily and left the branch immediately. Soon she arrived at Dr. Heathers' laboratory.

"Doctor! Doctor!"

The brown-haired Valkyrie with a neat ponytail knocked on the door and called out. The gray-haired old woman opened the door and looked at Wu Fei with some surprise: "Xiao Wu, why are you so anxious today?"

Wu Fei said anxiously: "Dr. Heathers, the situation on Coral Island has further deteriorated! You'd better hurry back to the branch with me. You can do research at the base. It's really unsafe outside now!"

Dr. Heathers narrowed her eyes: "Is it the kind of danger that even Schicksal and Anti-Entropy can't suppress?"

"It's highly likely."

Wu Fei recalled the abilities of the Herrscher of Dominance summarized by Luo Lin and was pessimistic about Schicksal's old rival.

"...Okay, you can go, but you have to take my patients with you."

Heathers looked at the anxious expression on the face of the brown-haired Valkyrie, who was familiar with her, and she sighed and waved to Wu Fei, motioning ber to follow.

Wu Fei was stunned for a moment and walked to Heathers' side: "Patients? What kind of patients deserve your attention?"

Heathers took Wu Fei through the corridor and came to a warmly decorated room. The Valkyrie with brown hair and a short ponytail saw the pair of sisters sitting on the sofa in the room and scratched her head: "So they are children... Tsk, Doctor, why don't you just send them back to their parents, and then I will pay for their family to arrange a flight to leave Coral Island?"

Heathers glanced at Wu Fei: "They have no parents. A friend of mine recommended them to me for treatment."

This choked Wu Fei. She scratched her hair frantically and hesitated for a few seconds. Then she sighed: "Forget it, Doctor, if you are willing, you can take them with you. Anyway, the base is so big that it doesn't need these two bites of food..."

"Rosalia, Lilia, come here!"

The gray-haired old man called out, and the sisters immediately jumped up from the sofa and gathered around Dr. Heathers: "Grandma, what's wrong?"

"The Coral Island is a little unsafe recently. Would you like to live with grandma for a while?"

Heathers squatted down so that the Olenyeva sisters could look at her without looking up. She knew that the sisters were not as young as they looked. Everything Lilia and Rosalia had experienced had made them mature and able to make important decisions.

The Olenyeva sisters looked at each other, and after a few seconds, the blue-haired sister Lilia made a decision: "Yes, we believe you, Grandma Heathers!"

"Good children."

Heathers rubbed their heads and said softly: "As an old woman, I just need a place to sleep and do experiments. The children have to be taken care of..."

"Doctor, please don't embarrass me. The branch has kept a room for you. I will help you clean it up when we get back."

The gray-haired old woman turned her head and glanced at Wu Fei. The brown-haired Valkyrie smiled: "As for the children, we, uh, live with you?"

"Sister Wu Fei, let's live in a separate room!" Rosalia raised a hand and said awkwardly, "I... I sleepwalk, and the noise is quite loud. It would be bad if I disturbed Grandma Heathers."

"Ah? Sleepwalking?"

Wu Fei was shocked, and then calmed down: "That's really a bit serious, no wonder we need to find Dr. Heathers for treatment... It's okay, don't worry, I'll take care of the accommodation!"

"Thank you, Wu." The gray-haired old man stood up and nodded to the Valkyrie.

Wu Fei waved her hand: "It's not a big deal! Let's go now, I'll be relieved if we get back to a safe place as soon as possible!"

"Well, let's go." Heathers took Lilia with one hand and Rosalia with the other, followed Wu Fei into the car, and rushed back to the Coral Island Branch at lightning speed.

On the way, the Valkyrie with brown hair and a short ponytail called her captain: "Hello? Captain, this is Wu Fei. I have received a call from Dr. Heathers. Well, the people are fine, but the doctor brought two children with her. They should be the patients she admitted. They need to arrange a separate dormitory... The people should be fine. If not, I will take photos for you to check."

Wu Fei turned her head and said to Heathers in the co-pilot seat: "Doctor, please send me a few photos of the sisters. Leila said that they need to be registered."

"Okay, I sent it."

"Okay, sit tight, let's drive faster."

...

"So Miss Luo Lin knows this pair of sisters?"

Leila asked curiously.

Luo Lin nodded.

She knows them, too well. Lilia Olenyeva and Rosalia Olenyeva are part of the Cocolia Orphanage and often appear in various activities in Honkai Impact 3. The Olenyeva sisters usually appear as some kind of gag characters, with some rash personalities and actions, and have the dream of debuting as idols.

The two named their idol group "Vodka Girls" and are willing to do all kinds of things to perform on stage, but most of them will fail in the cheerful atmosphere.

For example, the classic "Business Twin Stars" event that turned countless captains into gamblers was caused by Lilia and Rosalia wanting to perform on stage and then work to save money. In the end, the two wanted to take a break and reward themselves, so they exchanged all the money they earned for small cakes. They themselves complained that it was just like a dream...

"I brought Dr. Heathers back!"

Wu Fei walked in from the door and waved to Luo Lin and Leila.

The gray-haired old woman followed closely, holding Lilia and Rosalia in her hands.

"Lilia! Rosalia!"

Bronya couldn't help it, she shouted loudly and rushed over directly.

"Hey?! Sister Bronya?!"*2

The Olenyeva sisters also showed surprise when they saw the familiar silver-haired double helix. They looked up at Dr. Heathers, and the old man let go of her hands and patted the girls on the shoulders: "Go!"

The pink-haired sister and the blue-haired sister immediately stepped forward and hugged Bronya.

"Lilia... Rosalia..."

"Sister Bronya, why are you here..."

Rosalia's voice suddenly got stuck halfway through her words, because she saw Seele standing not far away. The pink-haired girl shouted loudly: "Sister Seele!! Lilia, look!!"

"Ah, it's Sister Seele!"

The Olenyeva sisters lifted Bronya up on the left and right, and moved towards Seele like a battering ram.

Sure enough, it was not very stable to walk like this. Halfway through, this strange combination of three people became shaky and fell to the ground.

"Be careful!" Luo Lin reached out her hand speechlessly, used the Taixu sword energy to hold the three people, and then walked over to straighten them.

Thank you, sister!" *2 Rosalia and Lilia seemed to feel some kind of momentum from Luo Lin, restrained themselves a little, and apologized obediently.

"Wow, sisters meeting each other, that's a good thing." Leila, the captain of the Snow Lotus Squad, whistled and said with interest: "Why don't we let these two children live with Bronya? The dormitory is quite big, and it's no problem to add two beds."

Who knew that after hearing this, Rosalia took the initiative to jump out and wave her hands quickly: "No, no, no, no! We have to live in a separate dormitory, because, because..."

The pink-haired sister saw Bronya and Seele cast a concerned look at her, and her voice suddenly became much smaller.

Rosalia scratched her head and looked at Lilia with a look of help. The blue-haired sister understood what she meant and said, "Because my sister still wets the bed. If she really gets together with Bronya and Seele, she will be ashamed to death."

"What...?" Rosalia swallowed her words back into her stomach and gritted her teeth to accept this cover-up setting, "Yes, that's right, Bronya, Seele, please forgive me!"

"..."

Bronya and Seele looked at each other, and their expressions became very serious.

Seele stepped forward: "Lilia, Rosalia, what are you hiding?"

The pink-haired girl laughed dryly: "Uh... How could it be?"

Luo Lin pressed her temples. These two kids obviously didn't know how to make excuses, and they immediately set off Bronya and Seele's alert slots.

She turned her head to look at Dr. Heathers, and she had some vague guesses in her heart - could it be that the Olenyeva sisters had some disease?

As expected, after the four people in he orphanage were in a stalemate for more than ten seconds, Heathers took the initiative to explain: "Rosalia has a disease. She will sleepwalk after falling asleep at night and can't control herself at all..."

"Grandma!"

Rosalia cried: "It's over now... Sister Bronya is in charge of discipline..."

Lilia patted her shoulder: "It's okay, at worst you can go to the corridor to fetch buckets together..."

Dr. Heathers could see that Bronya cared about the situation of the Olenyeva sisters and added: "Well, you can rest assured, in fact, this disease is quite common recently. There are many people in Southeast Asia and Coral Island. A little medicine can relieve it..."

But what the gray-haired old woman didn't expect was that the other people present changed their faces after hearing this explanation, and Bronya's reaction was even more intense. Her face turned pale and then she fainted.

"Sister Bronya!!!"

Dr. Heathers looked at the chaotic scene in front of her and was a little dazed: "This... You can't be so sick...?"

Luo Lin's face was rarely gloomy. She pressed her temple and whispered: "The Herrscher of Dominance... Tsk, you are everywhere."

Chapter 74

"...Is this the case?"

Dr. Heathers took a breath and rubbed her brow hard: "Herrscher, the Herrscher of Dominance... I didn't expect that I could encounter such a being... Well, it seems that these diseases must be studied in a different way."

Luo Lin looked at Bronya lying on the bed. The girl with silver spiral hair was still in a coma, frowning, as if she was unwilling to accept this cruel fact.

Rosalia, Lilia, and Seele sat beside the bed, and the atmosphere was quite depressing. "It's all my fault..."

The pink-haired sister rubbed her eyes, tears flowing down uncontrollably: "I hurt Sister Bronya..."

Seele came over and wiped her face with a handkerchief: "Rosalia, Bronya should be fine, she just got too much stimulation..."

Just then, the blue-haired sister suddenly raised her head and looked at Luo Lin, she asked: "Um, sister, is Rosalia's illness really serious?"

"Well..."

Luo Lin turned her head and looked at the Herrscher of Knowledge next to her: "Senti, what did you see?"

"She must have been affected by the Herrscher of Dominance, but… Rosalia’s symptoms are different from what we have seen before."

The Herrscher of Knowledge scratched her head irritably and said, "To give an analogy, a normal person is like a glass. When the emotions are affected by the Herrscher of Dominance, it is like the glass is filled with soda. The soda machine that produces soda is the direct child of the Herrscher of Dominance."

The gray-haired Herrscher glanced at Rosalia and said, "And she is like a strange can welded together with half glass and half aluminum, and the water is mixed in it. Like a can of soda... She is half-baked in every aspect. She is definitely not an ordinary human, and she is not that weak even if she is called a Herrscher..."

Luo Lin thought for a while and asked, "Pseudo-Herrscher?"

Shi Bao rolled his eyes: "Pseudo-Herrscher is a can of soda, not so weak, and it has also stepped half a foot into the realm of power. Think about the pseudo-Herrscher who played with poison vines you met in Nagazora. How similar is she to the weak and helpless Rosalia in front of you?"

"Tsk, we still have to take some specific samples from her and send them to Mebius and Vill-V. Go over and continue the examination..."

Luo Lin took out two needles in the horrified eyes of the two sisters: "Be good, I just draw some blood, it doesn't hurt..."

Rosalia swallowed her saliva, and then took the initiative to stretch out her arm: "...Come on! As long as you can cure my disease and make Sister Bronya no longer worry, I am willing!"

Lilia looked around and raised her arm: "...I am willing too!"

"Okay, draw blood!"

After drawing blood from the Olenyeva sisters, Luo Lin cast a wave of blood recovery skills on them, making up for the loss of blood on the spot. The two kids looked at each other in surprise and moved their arms: "It really doesn't hurt!"

Luo Lin threw the sample into the system space and asked Selune's's Elegey to help deliver it to the Elysian Realm. She reached out and touched the system warehouse, and took out a variety of snacks: "Hey, this is a reward for you!"

"Thank you, sister!"

"Hmm..."

Bronya woke up slowly at this time. She blinked and felt a sense of emptiness. "Awake?"

Luo Lin lowered her head and looked at the girl with silver hair and double helix: "Don't worry, I'm here, there will always be a way, or we can solve the problem from the root and kill the Herrscher of Dominance as soon as possible.

"Sister Luo Lin..."

"Trust me."

Luo Lin bent down and stretched out her hand to smooth Bronya's brow: "Just talk more with Rosalia and Lilia. It's a good thing for sisters to reunite, right? Besides, aren't you always worried about the orphanage? You can ask them!"

"I know... I'll ask."

Luo Lin waved her hand and pulled the others out of the ward. Now there are only four sisters, Bronya, Seele, and the Vodka sisters, in the room. The Olenyeva sisters looked at each other and said in unison: "Sister Bronya, Sister Seele, we miss you so much..."

"It's okay, Bronya is okay..."

The girl with silver spiral hair sat up from the bed and held the Olenyeva sisters in her arms: "So, when did you come here?"

Rosalia counted on her fingers and said: "It should be two months ago. I got sick after the orphanage was attacked. Mother Cocolia sent me to Coral Island for treatment..."

"The orphanage was attacked?" Bronya was stunned for a moment, "Who dares to touch my mother's base in Siberia?!"

Rosalia stretched out her hand and gestured: "Yes, it is very big, very fast, very white Monster... Mama Cocolia once said what that thing was... it was..."

Bronya and Seele looked at each other, and both thought of a possibility: "Honkai Beast?"

"Ah, yes, it's the Honkai Beast!"

Lillia nodded: "At that time, Rosalia and I went together to attract the attention of those Honkai Beasts, and made them go around in circles! Later, Mama Cocolia came back with a big robot to save us, but all the buildings in the orphanage were destroyed..."

"But Mommy Cocolia quickly found a new home for us, which is bigger and better, and everyone has their own room. I also took Sister Bronya and Sister Seele's things there..."

The pink-haired girl lowered her head and muttered: "But those Honkai beasts were too powerful, and there weren't many good things left in the end... Oh, Seele, your important box is still there!"

Seele was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "It's that box?"

She still remembered that she had cried in it because of her weakness. Bronya, who cared about Seele, opened the box, hugged the girl, and opened the girl's heart... The girl with silver-haired spiral curls obviously wouldn't forget such an important symbol.

She tilted her head and scratched her face: "Hey, what about Mother Cocolia?"

"After sending us to Coral Island for treatment, mom didn't contact us again. She seemed very busy..." Lilia patted her face and said: "But Sin should know something. When we left the orphanage, she had become a warrior who could stand on her own and was recognized by her mother!"

Seele asked: "Sin Mal?"

Lilia and her sister nodded together: "Yes, that's her."

Bronya blinked: "Did Sin also undergo some experiments?"

"I don't know, but Sin can easily beat several of those big Honkai beasts, which is amazing!"

Rosalia shook her head: "We have Sin's phone number here, do you want to call it?"

"No, not for the time being, Bronya needs time to relax, and also... make some psychological preparations."

Bronya rubbed the sisters' hair: "Also, welcome back, Lilia, Rosalia."

Chapter 75

"Senior Luo Lin, the No. 13 anomaly has been investigated. It is the hiding space of the Herrscher of Dominance." Ana's face was gloomy, and she still exuded a slight smell of burnt protein.

This operation was not smooth.

The Herrscher of Dominance ambushed the Valkyrie team she led.

They took out a bunch of bombs from nowhere and hid them under the buttocks of several Chariot-class Honkai beasts. After all, the temperament of Honkai beasts is fixed, and the attack patterns are also similar.

Who would have thought that they would suddenly explode while fighting with the Chariot-class Honkai beasts?

This caused the Valkyries Ana brought out to suffer varying degrees of injuries, and she herself vomited blood, but after Luo Lin took out the Mimic Black Abyss White Flower for treatment, everyone was out of danger.

However, Ana's cool chestnut hair was affected by the explosion, and a small section of it was burned in the front and back. Now it looks a bit "dog-bitten" and makes her forehead look particularly large...

The Valkyries around her were basically laughing when they saw her like this. Although her old boss Leila and Wu Fei held back when they saw Ana, when she finished her report and left, laughter immediately rang out in the office.

Ana became even more unhappy and decided to torture the Herrscher of Dominance more harshly next time.

Luo Lin pushed her glasses and asked, "Have you caught the Herrscher's sub-body that created the hidden space?"

"One was caught, and the rest ran away."

Ana pointed to the triangular prism-shaped container on the table, in which a golden particle emitting light floated - that was the core of the Herrscher of Dominance.

Luo Lin waved her hand: "It's okay, as long as there are gains. Every time we deprive this guy of a bit of power, we can gain more advantages for the final decisive battle..." She looked further away, and more than a dozen similar containers were placed in isolation positions, each containing something inside, which looked amazing.

These are the results of the Coral Island branch's actions in the past few days. The detection of the radar probe array has achieved remarkable results and has yielded a lot of gains.

However, the Herrscher of Dominance are not easy to deal with. They also responded and began to create some "false signals." When the Valkyrie leading the team arrived, they found that there was nothing there, or simply saw a puppet sticking out its tongue there, and then turned around and jumped into the imaginary space.

In addition, they also tried to attack the probes deployed outside the Coral Island branch.

Although these probes also have [Extreme Dodge Shield] and [Weak Element Shield], they are temporary sites after all, with limited energy supply. After a long attack, the shield energy will be exhausted...

Luo Lin had to assign some people as a mobile defense team to replenish energy for the probes deployed outside, repel the Herrscher of Dominance sub-bodies that attacked the probes, and, by the way, let them install the plug-ins newly researched by Mobius and Vill-V on the probes.

"Luo Lin, your [Transformation Material Box] is a bit outrageous."

Mobius pointed to the high-tech box behind her. That thing's appearance looks a bit like the Homu supply box in the gacha interface, but it looks longer and flatter.

That is the item Luo Lin obtained after completing the daily tasks of the event. According to the event description, consuming a certain number of material boxes can upgrade the probe... So Luo Lin handed the thing to Mobius and Vill-V and asked them to study it.

The black-haired Valkyrie asked, "How outrageous?"

Snake's expression was quite subtle: "As long as I think of the materials needed to upgrade the probe, and then open this box, those things will appear inside."

Luo Lin was shocked at first, and then ecstatic: "So awesome?! Why don't we quickly replace all the probes with soulium products, and upgrade all the energy to the same type of Honkai energy engine as the Hyperion... Oops!"

"Do you think I don't want to?"

The green-haired doctor chopped her forehead with a knife, and then said expressionlessly: "The problem is that the higher the level and more precious the materials you want, the less you will get from the box. If you want soulium, you will get a meager amount of it from the box. The finished product is only a tiny bit, totally not worth it."

Luo Lin rubbed her head and whispered: "Hiss, what is this little Holy Grail..."

Mobius heard the black-haired Valkyrie muttering, she touched her chin: "Holy Grail? Is this something you know that looks like this box?"

"Probably... an incomplete wishing machine, the way to achieve the goal is also very suspicious, and it may cause bad disasters..."

Luo Lin is not very familiar with the Holy Grail in the Type-Moon studio next door. She only knows that the Holy Grail can be used to make wishes, it can also be used as a core to supply magic power, and it can also be contaminated by some evil in the world and become an abstract wishing machine. As for other uses, she is not clear.

Mobius blinked: "You reminded me with this, I have to make three restrictions with Vill-V, so that this woman won't think of anything magical or even fantasy in her mind, and anything too dangerous is not allowed to be pulled out of the box."

"Hiss, you are right, Vill-V's imagination is too big, don't let her do anything fancy, and blow up the Realm directly, then I will be hunted down by Kevin next time..."

Luo Lin took a breath and wiped the sweat on her forehead: "Safety is important... Safety..."

She thought of the Herrscher core stored in the isolation chamber and fell into deep thought.

Luo Lin vaguely remembered that in the original plot, the Herrscher of Dominance was secretly resurrected in the state of being beaten into a core. Now there are more than ten cores in the Coral Island branch, and more cores should be collected in subsequent operations...

If all of them are resurrected at once, the Coral Island branch will probably be wiped out.

It seems that it is enough to keep one or two cores in the branch for research, and the rest have to be stored in a safer place.

It just so happened that Luo Lin had a very safe place at hand, the system warehouse!

As soon as she said it, Luo Lin moved the redundant Herrscher of Dominance cores of the Coral Island branch (along with the equipment for isolating the standpoint) into the system warehouse. She looked at the [Sub-core of the Herrscher of Dominance (plot item)] on the panel and nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, now you should not be able to revive."

...

In the Theater of Dominatiom, a group of puppets beat their chests and stamped their feet, looking furious and anxious.

[Damn it, the cores that were sent out lost contact! ]

[They died? Let her pay for it! ]

[Wow, how could this be! It must be that black-haired demon who used witchcraft! ]

[We are Herrschers, why can't we understand this girl's methods at all?! ]

[Calm down, friends, it's just a backup plan, if it fails, it fails!]

The leading puppet shouted loudly: [Create more chaos, release smoke to confuse the enemy, even if you sacrifice yourself or lose contact with the core, it's okay! The most important thing is to ensure that our current "stage plan" is not affected...]

Although they were very reluctant, the puppets knew that what it said was right, and agreed in unison: [Understood!]

Just then, a puppet ran from a distance, and He shouted as he ran: [Report! The time for the new round of stage opening has come, please take your seats!]

Hearing this news, the puppets instantly forgot the previous disadvantages and cheered.

[Okay, okay, I'll be right there!]
