After hearing Bai Mo's idea, Kevin instinctively wanted to refute it, but then he remembered Bai Mo's identity and the power of the End, so he stopped talking and instead gave Bai Mo a deep look.
The meaning was self-evident; it was practically a direct question: did Bai Mo still want to hide her identity?
At least he wouldn't speak first, after all, he had promised to keep Bai Mo's identity a secret unless she revealed it herself.
In short, whether his identity is exposed or not, he, and the current World Serpent, are both capable of protecting Bai Mo.
Bai Mo understood Kevin's meaning and immediately nodded, giving him a reassuring look.
Bai Mo also had her own considerations. After all, her claim was far too far-fetched, and going back in time was practically a miracle. So, in order to convince Otto, she didn't mind revealing her identity.
Otto was only focused on reviving Kallen and didn't care about anything else. If she were to expose her identity, it might completely dispel Otto's suspicions. After all, she also had her own selfish motives regarding the matter of Otto, and Otto's cooperation was indispensable.
Simply put, she needs Otto to open the door so she can go in and rescue the person. It doesn't require much brainpower, which is quite easy.
The two were exchanging cryptic remarks, which made the others present feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Eden was alright, since she knew there was a little secret between the two of them, and Durandal was just curious.
But Otto is different! After all, this matter concerns Kallen's resurrection, and even if he doesn't want to care, he can't help it!
Although he wanted to refute Bai Mo when he first spoke, after all, from any perspective, trying to find Kallen's unique soul in the long river of time of 500 years is like finding a needle in a haystack, or even more difficult.
He had considered using this method to revive Kallen, and even put his mind on the Herrscher of Death. Unfortunately, the Herrscher of Death's powers could not do this, let alone the soul of someone who had been dead for five hundred years. So he abandoned the plan and instead focused his attention on the Imaginary Tree, hoping to create a world where Kallen was still alive.
So even though this was clearly impossible, what did he just hear from Kevin's mouth? "Unless!" He heard the word "unless"! Could there be a chance? Was it actually feasible? Or was it just that he hadn't chosen the right research direction? Or was it that only this Herrscher named Asura could accomplish this?
A flood of questions filled Otto's mind, making him particularly eager to find out the truth about the matter.
Even though Otto tried his best to suppress his emotions, he ultimately couldn't resist the excitement that came from within, to the point that his hands trembled slightly.
"Unless what? Does Your Excellency mean that Miss Asura has a solution, right?"
As if yearning for answers, Otto's voice carried a hint of excitement, which he managed to conceal well, but ultimately could not hide it from Bai Mo.
After all, it concerned Karen, and she didn't believe Otto could remain calm.
Once Otto shows interest in the matter, the subsequent negotiations can proceed as scheduled.
"That's right, I do have a solution, and it's a plan you absolutely can't refuse."
Bai Mo stretched out his index finger and shook it, saying mysteriously.
"What is it, Ah..."
Otto instinctively wanted to ask, but at that moment, Bai Mo spoke again, interrupting his thoughts.
"However, let's talk about this after we finish discussing the cooperation. After all, it won't take much time, will it?"
After saying that, Bai Mo revealed a wicked smile. After all, Otto had done this kind of thing quite a few times before, and he was just replicating it.
"...As you wish."
Otto's lips twitched almost imperceptibly. For the first time, he realized how annoying this way of speaking was. He had spoken like this before, but when faced with this situation, the feeling was extremely unpleasant.
It feels like swallowing a bitter pill.
However, he had no choice but to agree, since obtaining the beacon of the second Divine Key was part of his plan, and the most important part of it.
Thus began the confrontation between Otto and Kevin, though it couldn't really be called a confrontation, as the negotiation process went quite smoothly.
"The beacon of the Second Divine Key, and the plan you mentioned, Miss Asura, tell me, what price must I, Schicksal, pay for it?"
Children make choices, adults want it all!
"I need you to assist humanity in fighting the Honkai, and also to hand over the handling of the Herrschers to World Serpent."
“Yes, I have no objection to that. In addition, after I get what I want, I will also hand over the Void Treasury to you.”
Otto readily nodded, after all, none of this mattered to him.
"Add one more thing: cancel the surveillance on Kiana, also known as K-423, and you must not interfere in her life anymore. As for the rest, I'll handle it."
Just as their negotiations were about to end, Bai Mo stepped forward and spoke up.
Although she wasn't afraid that Otto would harm Kiana after the two sides started cooperating, some things still needed to be said openly.
What Bai Mo needed was a promise from Otto, even if that promise was just a short sentence or a few words.
"...Haha, of course no problem. Rather, I already gave up on that child a long time ago, but..."
Otto readily agreed, but then changed the subject, looking at Bai Mo with a scrutinizing and questioning gaze.
"but?"
Bai Mo tilted his head in confusion.
"Excuse me, Miss Asura, what is your relationship with K, Kiana? As far as I know, you two shouldn't have much interaction..."
"Or perhaps you two have actually known each other for a long time, and your current identity is merely...?"
He was quite surprised by Bai Mo's request, after all, he really couldn't think of any aspect of the K-423 that would make the other party care so much.
So out of curiosity, he asked the question.
“That’s right, we have indeed known each other for a long time, but my identity is not faked. I’m just wearing a mask.”
Bai Mo did not deny it further, but simply nodded.
"A mask? I see."
Recalling that the other party didn't look like this back at the Destiny Headquarters, Otto believed it to some extent. He then said again, "In that case, Miss Asura, you must have been a Valkyrie at St. Freya Academy, since you called me 'Bishop' so naturally just now."
Chapter 328 Bai Mo?!
Durandal frowned; she was increasingly unable to understand the current situation on the field.
After all, this jump is too fast, isn't it?
Just a second ago, the other party was a World Serpent executive, but how did they suddenly become a Valkyrie from St. Freya Academy?
This change of identity is just too fast! My colleague... no, my former colleague is right next to me?
The shock of today's negotiation meeting was too great for her. From the moment her own bishop started until now, it hadn't stopped at all, and her mind was not quite up to the task.
Having grown accustomed to Rita's advice and strategies, Durandal was still quite taken aback. After all, if Rita were here, she would find the current scene quite amusing.
Shaking her head, Durandal decided to continue being a background character, then write down everything that happened here today and share it with Rita when she got back.
Of course, if Otto is unwilling, then there's nothing she can do.
.................................................. ..
"Indeed, and we even met once before, Your Excellency!"
Do you still remember it vividly? Bai Mo still hasn't forgotten Otto's sullen face when Xilin "drew her heart out."
Ah! Sure enough, you can't forget something like this no matter how much time has passed. His fists clenched tightly involuntarily. Bai Mo had a strong urge to punch Otto, but it was just an impulse.
Meanwhile, Otto, sitting opposite Bai Mo, also noticed that something was wrong with Bai Mo's emotions. While he was puzzled, he could only try his best to maintain a smile.
I've met them once? How come I don't know? Besides, it's been a long time since I've been to St. Freya Academy, hasn't it?
Chatting with Theresa was just a video call... So, could it be that she met him in person at Schicksal headquarters? If so, that's still a possibility.
Otto stroked his chin with one hand, lowered his head and thought for a while, but he couldn't find any clues. After all, he saw so many Valkyries every day at headquarters, how could he possibly remember what each one looked like?
In the end, Otto shook his head helplessly, indicating that he was giving up.
"What's wrong, Your Excellency Bishop? Do you have a bad memory? Shall I remind you where we're meeting?"
Bai Mo smiled with satisfaction at this, and then said in a sarcastic tone.
"Please give me a hint, Miss Asura."
"Please," Otto replied with a smile, extending his hand, seemingly unconcerned that Bai Mo's actions were clearly intended to make things difficult for him.
"It was Singapore. The way the bishop stood by and did nothing to help was so incredibly cool! So cool that I wanted to punch his steely, stinky face."
"After all, he had such a big hole cut in his chest back then."
Bai Mo smiled, his voice sounding very excited. This almost made Durandal think that Bai Mo was a fanatical fan of some bishop, since such a group actually existed at headquarters.
Then, Bai Mo couldn't laugh anymore, because she realized that right after she said those words, Eden's embrace of her became tighter and tighter.
Disaster comes from the mouth! Disaster comes from the mouth!
"Singapore? They'd rather die than offer assistance..."
The thought of Singapore brings to mind the loss of the [Tranquility Gem], and the first time he appeared there was right beside Fu Hua, in front of the Second Herrscher, Sirin.
As for whether she had seen any other Valkyries... well, it seems there was indeed a Valkyrie who was on the verge of death, but was punched through the chest by the Second Herrscher, Sirin.
His name is Bai Mo, and he does indeed have a very good relationship with Kiana.
But by then, the opponent should have already been thrown into the imaginary space by the Second Herrscher...
How could it be possible to come back to life?
Could it be... the Gem of Tranquility? Yes, the Gem of Tranquility! The Herrscher of Death! How come I didn't think of that?
After carefully reviewing the events, Otto felt that he now understood the truth of the matter.
That is, when Bai Mo was thrown into the Imaginary Space, he accidentally fused with the power of the Tranquility Gem, thus becoming the Herrscher of Death. Naturally, his wounds were healed. After leaving the Imaginary Space, he changed his appearance and joined World Serpent!
It all makes sense now! Only in this way can we explain why the other party possesses the powers of the Herrscher of Death and why they care so much about Kiana.
But after learning the truth, Otto felt no joy at all; instead, he felt a headache coming on.
But now he couldn't play dumb anymore. Meeting Bai Mo's amused smile, Otto said with a wry smile, "If I'm not mistaken, Miss Asura, your other name is Bai Mo, isn't it?"
"Who are you? Bai Mo?"
At first, she thought she had misheard, but after realizing what she had heard, Durandal couldn't help but ask.
Bai Mo? Wasn't this promising junior of his supposedly perfect already dead? How could it possibly be the Asura standing before him?
Durandal covered her face with her hands, practically writing "I don't understand" all over her face.
Bai Mo smiled and nodded, then, under the astonished gazes of Otto and Durandal, slowly removed the mask from his face, revealing his long-lost true appearance.
"really."
"This...you...."
