Then, during the evacuation in Changkong City, I heard their voice on a radio channel.
At that moment—the girl's eyes widened.
Could it be that--
She's the one who took MEI away?!
Kevin wasn't too annoyed; after all, she was a lovely girl, and nothing strange would happen between her and MEl—at this moment, Kevin was only filled with joy.
She finally knows MEI's whereabouts!
Since it was that pink-haired girl who took MEI away, she must know where MEI is. And if I find MEI, I might still have a chance... Glancing at her rather impressive figure for a young girl, Miss 'Kiana's smile faded slightly.
In my current state, it seems like I have absolutely no 'chance' left!
Fortunately, her obsession with MEI was not limited to simple romantic feelings.
So what if she's a girl?! Can't girls be friends?! What if Mei's sexual orientation is a bit different from the norm? Wouldn't that be a lucky coincidence, giving me an even better chance?!
The very determined Ms. Kiana became excited as she thought about these things.
If they can find that pink-haired girl, they can find MEI. She remembers that MEI seems to be a broadcaster in Changkong City...
Wait, wasn't Changkong City already abolished?
—Due to the Third Great Collapse, the migrant population of Changkong City has been dispersed to the surrounding Far Eastern cities. Although being a broadcaster is a rather special profession, finding a small broadcaster from so many cities is difficult for Kevin, who is all alone... and there is even a possibility that the broadcaster might be reassigned after the migration.
How can I find the other person?
As the white-haired girl pondered this question, a passing blue oven caught her attention.
—The day afterward, Ms. Chen, a tourist from China, was fined again for improper driving.
According to concerned citizens of China, Ms. Chen seems to have developed a phobia of white hairs after returning to China.
Symptoms include: constantly looking around while driving, fearing that a white hair might suddenly appear and fine you.
"Didn't I see something like this yesterday?"
As Alicia, who happened to be passing by, saw a white-haired girl arguing with an 'oven', she scratched her cheek with a strange expression.
She remembered seeing a similar scene while riding in Spassy's car yesterday. If it weren't for the fact that it was a white-haired girl today and a white-haired boy yesterday, the fat lady would have almost thought she was trapped in some kind of time loop.
"But this girl is so cute." Alicia thought to herself as she commented on 'Kiana'—she really does look like Kiana... Could she be Kiana's twin sister?
Out of curiosity, the chubby lady also had some free time today.
Her main purpose in coming to the Fifth Research Department was to attract attention. Her request to see the core of the 'Herrscher of Reason' on the first day had undoubtedly attracted the attention of the European faction. The official reason for the rest of the time was to represent headquarters to inspect and deal with the collapse of the Fifth Base in Europe.
—Although she seems to be idle all day long, like a street urchin with nothing to do, Alicia is actually the 'management' in charge of the 'performance' column of the Firemoth Warriors.
Unfortunately, there's no clear problem in Europe—Miss Fat thinks it's too rigid and plans to suggest to MEI that the troops be made more 'fashionable' when she gets back.
"I wonder what that wicked Jiang Qiao is doing now."
...
The sea, shrouded in twilight, rippled and lapped against the shore, soaking the fine sand on the beach.
It wasn't a specially designated seaside area; at this moment, only two girls were sitting side by side on the beach, enjoying this beautiful scenery that belonged only to them—a wonderful feeling.
This was indeed the case for Jiang Qiao.
While using [Alicia], he had visited many scenic spots during his busy journeys, including underwater landscapes, but a tranquil beach and seascape like this was a first for him.
Bare feet left conspicuous marks on the beach, which were washed away and blurred by the tide. The cool seawater that splashed on her body was incredibly refreshing, and the pots and pans set up on the shore were bubbling away.
For the Heralds of Truth, there are more convenient and efficient ways, but in the end they still chose this backward and primitive approach. If you have to say why, it's probably because what they are pursuing at this moment is not enjoyment, but the atmosphere.
The 'gangster heiress' drove her henchmen to launch an attack on the shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the seabed.
Lobster, crab, seaweed, and... mussels.
Handling the mud, sand, and entrails by hand—pouring them into a pot, where they transform into a delicious seafood soup with seasonings extracted from the imaginary space.
A sip of the warm seafood soup reveals a savory and fragrant flavor that soothes the soul and warms the body.
Feeling each other's body temperature, one can feel the 'pleasure' of this body and the joy of the person beside them.
For Jiang Qiao, who played 'Bronya', it was a rather fond memory.
One serving, and I'm satisfied.
The two girls simply stayed together, feeding each other seafood soup—at the height of the atmosphere, Miss Blue Wendy even became a little 'excited' and was about to be a little bolder when this pleasant seaside scene came to an end with the arrival of the 'Moon Throne'.
Miss Wendy Blue, whose mood had been disturbed, felt a little resentful about this—but then she thought that there was plenty of time in the future and she didn't care much anymore.
"That's right."
Einstein learned of Schrödinger's situation from 'Bronya'—that she still had some research to complete in the Sea of Quanta and therefore wouldn't be returning for the time being. He sighed, not surprised at all.
She, along with her teacher Planck and her colleague Schrödinger, were all researchers in the field of quantum mechanics. Among them, Schrödinger was the most persistent, personally venturing into the quantum sea and making significant progress in many of her studies.
Since she is not willing to come back for the time being, Ai Yin does not intend to force her.
She started talking about something—
"Currently, Otto is frantically searching for our whereabouts."
—Not to mention the Herrscher of the Void, who is crucial to the plan.
Anti-Entropy originally possessed—and now seems to be stronger and more difficult to deal with than before, the Herrscher of Reason, in addition to the Herrscher of Thunder's original body, the missing Herrscher of Wind, and the Herrscher of Ice, which Rita reported was preemptively attacked and stolen by Anti-Entropy.
At this moment, Otto, far away at the Schicksal headquarters in the Mediterranean, looked at the chess pieces symbolizing the Herrschers and the almost completely overturned situation. His expression was no longer as calm as before, but only 'gloomy'.
This Archbishop of Destiny, who has lived for over five hundred years, has always been adept at managing his emotions. The only times he could show such an expression were when he killed Saintess Kallen five hundred years ago, and when he was severely beaten by the First Herrscher.
But one thing is certain: when Otto Apocalypse showed that expression, his mentality had almost completely collapsed—his ruthlessness and madness could no longer be concealed by his glamorous appearance and composure.
"Reverse entropy..."
Muttering this name, no matter how Otto imagined it, he could never have imagined that a carelessness many years ago would lead to the current state of utter depravity.
"Haha, it seems you really are at your wit's end."
A mocking voice echoed in my mind—the first divine key left behind by the previous civilization, the key of revelation, the treasure of the void.
Its voice was full of sarcasm.
After all, although it and the man at this moment are indeed in a holder-held-by relationship, the grudge they formed five hundred years ago has made their relationship 'seemingly hostile but not truly hostile'.
He was imprisoned deep within Otto's consciousness, unable to move an inch.
It certainly wouldn't have any good feelings towards this man.
certainly--
To see this fool, who is always so confident and arrogant—who thinks he can control everything—fall into such a predicament is a rare spectacle for the Void and the Treasury.
"..."
Otto ignored the other person, simply covering his face, his dark green eyes filled with gloom.
Entropy has completely escaped control, and with the Void Treasury at its core, he, who has always paid close attention to the world, is well aware that the 'snake' lurking in the shadows is not far from awakening.
At this critical juncture—he made absolutely no progress in achieving what he wanted.
How could this make the man feel uneasy or agitated?
Without the First Divine Key, he would be unable to verify and establish his plan.
Without the Herrscher of the Void, the plan simply does not meet the prerequisites for its establishment.
The latter is fine.
Although Otto was very wary of Anti-Entropy's power, he was confident that he could make those people hesitate to act—after all, good people are always restrained.
And I myself am an absolute villain.
Moreover, his need for the Second Herrscher is not simply to 'have it under his control'.
All Otto needed was a 'Herrscher of the Void' who could act on human will and achieve his own plans.
Although Kiana's minor incident made him uneasy, the theft of the Fourth Divine Key had always made Otto suspect that the Second Herrscher might have already 'matured'.
In that case, no matter how big the trouble the opponent is, Otto is confident that he can drag them into the game.
But the former—
Otto felt frustrated thinking about 'Thousand Worlds One Vehicle', which he had been searching for but whose whereabouts were still unknown.
However, he was not entirely clueless about this.
At least, Otto could vaguely deduce that the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle must be in the hands of that serpent hiding in the shadows.
Furthermore, through previous schemes, the Serpent seems to have always been very interested in the Herrscher Core...
In that case——
Thinking of Dr. Magee, who had recently made a series of small moves that he thought had gone unnoticed, Otto's gaze slowly settled on the British Isles on the virtual map.
Chapter 181 Su: Family, I got sprayed in the face by a cat, does anyone know what's going on?
Humanity will always have various disagreements on the path to defeating the Honkai—or on the attitude towards the Honkai.
