I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Thinking about all this, Tesla couldn't help but sigh. To be honest, Tesla didn't know why he was having such bad luck today.

"Forget it, let's not think about these things anymore. Let's find a place to shelter from the wind and snow, otherwise I'll turn into an ice pop before Chicken Head and the others find me."

Just a few minutes after Tesla left, it suddenly smelled something unusual.

"Hmm? Sniff, sniff, what's this! Is someone cooking over a fire nearby!?"

The thought that there must be someone nearby to shelter from the wind and snow must hold me safest place. And if the person is kind, I might even be able to get a bowl of hot soup.

With this in mind, Tesla followed the scent and soon found a white tent with an ethnic style on a snowfield. Seeing the white tent, Tesla couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had found a place to shelter from the wind and snow for the time being.

Chapter 345 [Two People Imagining Each Other]

Inside the tent at the Hunter's Guild's camp, Sirin looked at the boiler on the induction cooker in front of her and the food around her with a speechless expression, and said:

"Isn't this just hot pot?!"

Hearing that Xilin was complaining, Ji Lin, who was standing to the side, also looked at Xilin with a somewhat surprised expression and said:

"Oh? So you know about hot pot, Xilin? I thought you didn't."

Hearing Ji Lin's words, Xi Lin was speechless. During the few weeks she spent in Yuhaka, Xi Lin had seen a lot of things, especially food!

Celine looked at the boiler in front of her, which was heating water, and said with some confusion:

"This hot pot is completely different from the ones I've seen in books. The hot pots in books are all bright red. Is this one not ready yet?"

Hearing Xilin's question, Ji Lin tilted her head and said:

"Hmm... Sirin, the hot pot you're talking about is probably Chongqing hot pot, right?"

Xilin hesitated for a moment, then thought for a moment and said:

"I think that's what it's called, but... that Chongqing hot pot looks really spicy."

Upon hearing Sirin's words, Ji Lin's lips twitched. That dish called Chongqing hot pot was more than just spicy; it was incredibly spicy. Ji Lin remembered that when she was cooking at the Merlin Cat Restaurant on Rhodes Island, a strange-looking older sister came to the restaurant and ordered a Chongqing hot pot. At that time, the kitchen was like a chemical factory, extremely pungent and causing Ji Lin to cough from time to time.

Just thinking about it made Ji Lin's eyes and throat feel very uncomfortable. However, Ji Lin didn't dislike spicy food; she did eat spicy dishes, but super spicy was out of the question...

After the water in the pot boiled, Yuhaka poured some of the ingredients from the plate into the pot and waited for them to cook. At that moment, Yuhaka's cat ears stood up.

Seeing Yuhaka's reaction, Ji Lin, who was preparing the seasoning sauce, looked at Yuhaka with a puzzled expression and asked:

"What's wrong, Master Youyou? Did you sense something?"

Yuhaka turned his head to look in the other direction and said:

"It seems... someone is approaching?"

....................................

Tesla looked at the distinctly ethnic-style tent in front of him with curiosity. Although Tesla had seen many types of ethnic tents before, this one...

Tesla's eyes twitched as he looked at the four pillars that resembled the skeletons of a giant monster and the tent that looked like it was made of the fur of some kind of wild animal. To be honest, it was the first time Tesla had ever seen a tent like this.

Are there this type of ethnic tent in Siberia?

With this question in mind, Tesla still walked towards the strange tent. His situation was already bad enough, could it get any worse?

It's impossible for five burly men with ill intentions to walk out of the tent, right?

Although that tent looked like it could only accommodate four people at most...

Soon, Tesla, who had arrived at the tent entrance, called out to the tent entrance:

Excuse me, is anyone here?

Upon hearing Tesla's words, the three people inside poked their little heads out to look at Tesla outside the door. Those three people were Yuhaka and her friends. Yuhaka and her friends looked at Tesla outside the door with puzzled expressions, and Tesla also looked confused. Clearly, Tesla was a little confused about the fact that three little girls had appeared in a tent in the middle of nowhere.

.................................................

Inside Yuhaka's tent at their camp, Tesla took a sip of hot soup and then breathed a sigh of relief, saying:

"Phew~ It's finally warming up!"

Ji Lin and the others, who were standing to the side, looked at Tesla with great confusion. Ji Lin looked at Tesla and asked with some doubt:

"Miss Tesla, how did you manage to walk alone in such a freezing place?"

Upon hearing Ji Lin's question, Tesla also sighed with a troubled expression and said:

"Ha...don't even mention it, to be honest, I never expected to encounter something like this..."

Upon hearing Tesla's words, Ji Lin glanced at Yuhaka beside him. Finding that his master had no reaction, Ji Lin was certain that the red twin-tailed girl in front of him wasn't lying, at least not yet. However, all Yuhaka and the others knew so far was that the red twin-tailed girl's name was Tesla; they didn't know much else.

Ji Lin knew very well that they had been to the Babylon Laboratory of the Destiny Organization before, but who knew if this girl named Tesla was someone sent by the Destiny Organization... Ji Lin had some doubts about this.

While Tesla was drinking the hot soup made by Yuhaka and the others, she was also observing them. Although Yuhaka and the others were helpful to her, Tesla did not let her guard down. After all, she had encountered such a strange thing not long ago, and then she met Yuhaka and the others. Moreover, Yuhaka and the others were lolis or something. No matter how you look at it, wasn't this a bit too coincidental?

Even if it wasn't a conspiracy by Yuhaka and the others, the idea of ​​three little girls camping in the Siberian wilderness just seemed a bit odd!

As for whether they are the Valkyries of Destiny... Tesla thinks it's unlikely.

After all, Yuhaka and the others look far too young! Even if Schicksal didn't have Valkyries, would they really send three little girls to guard the area around the Babylonian Laboratory?

Although Yuhaka and the others were not wearing modern clothes, but rather animal skin coats made of wild animal fur and the shells and scales of unknown creatures, and a huge hunting bow and arrows that looked like short guns were placed in a corner of the camp tent, Tesla felt something was amiss. If there were adults with them, Tesla might have believed that they were just children who had come out hunting with adults.

But now... Tesla suspects they might be part of another organization.

Just as Tesla and Ji Lin were frantically speculating about each other's identities, on a snowy field somewhere in Siberia, a girl with short blue hair and a man wearing glasses seemed to be searching for something.

Chapter 346 [Yohaka: I heard someone order alcohol]

"Dr. Ain, have you found Tesla's whereabouts?"

Hearing what the person next to her said, the short-haired girl with blue hair, also known as Dr. Ai, looked at the bespectacled man beside her and said:

"No, unfortunately, I have not found any trace of Tesla so far."

Upon hearing Einstein's words, the bespectacled man looked into the distance with a somewhat worried expression and said:

"Huh... what's going on here? Why did Dr. Tesla suddenly disappear from the plane?"

In response to the question from the man wearing glasses, Einstein looked at the device on his body and said to him:

"Hmm... Regarding this question, I think you'd like to see this."

As he spoke, Einstein showed the man the device in his hand. The man saw the display on the device and could see Tesla inspecting something. But what happened next surprised the man.

Suddenly, a large circular hole appeared beneath Tesla's feet, causing him to fall through it while inspecting the equipment. Through the hole, the man could see that Tesla had fallen directly onto a snowfield in Siberia.

"This is... spatial ability?"

Einstein, who was standing nearby, nodded and said:

"It's highly likely due to spatial abilities, and very possibly caused by the Second Herrscher..."

Upon hearing Einstein's words, the man adjusted his glasses, frowned, and said:

"Then...why did the Second Herrscher attack Tesla? If she had used that ability, taking down our plane would have been a piece of cake, but the Second Herrscher didn't..."

Einstein, standing to the side, also looked puzzled, scratched his chin, and said:

“I am also very puzzled by this. Apart from the fact that the Second Herrscher has a grudge against Tesla, there are only a few possibilities.”

As he spoke, Einstein held up one of his fingers and said:

"The first possibility is that the Second Herrscher was unaware of her own state and unconsciously activated her abilities. The second possibility is that the Second Herrscher subconsciously created a dimensional rift under Tesla's feet while testing her abilities, etc..."

After discussing some possibilities, the bespectacled man stroked his chin, pondering the possibilities. However, he couldn't figure out why the Second Herrscher would only target Tesla. He said that finding Tesla was more important at the moment.

"Let's think about those issues after we find Tesla. It's better to go find Tesla first."

Upon hearing the man's words, Einstein nodded and said:

"Hmm, that makes sense. However, Tesla's communicator seems to be broken, so he can't contact us. But based on the data, I've roughly calculated where Dr. Tesla is. If we go there to look for him, we shouldn't have any problems. Dr. Tesla should find a place to shelter from the snowstorm and wait for rescue."

Upon hearing Einstein's words, the man nodded and said:

"Okay, let's go find that place first."

As he spoke, the man used his power to conjure a sled motorcycle and said to Einstein:

"Let's go, Einstein."

Einstein nodded and said:

"Yes, Lord Alliance Leader."

..................................

In the snowy landscape of Siberia, a hunter's camp tent, reserved for the Hunter's Guild, stands in this location.

Inside the tent, Tesla and Yuhaka were happily enjoying the ingredients from the hot pot.

"Mmm! This pork tastes so good! The meat is not only tender, but it also has a mushroom-like umami flavor. This pig must have been raised on mushrooms!"

Tesla, looking at the mushroom and pork dish in his bowl with a surprised expression, said this. Ji Lin, who was eating a piece of fried tofu next to him, looked at Tesla and said:

"Hmm...more or less, that's probably because mushroom pigs like to eat mushrooms, so their food has a mushroom flavor, right?"

"Is that so??"

Tesla was taken aback by Ji Lin's words. Although she didn't know if there were creatures like fungal pigs in the world, Tesla at least knew that omnivores like pigs ate fungi like mushrooms.

However, while eating hot pot, Tesla was also observing Yuhaka and her two companions. First was Sirin, who was the most ordinary-looking one in the group, except for her eyes with X-shaped pupils. What were those? Colored contact lenses?

And Ji Lin...

Could Tesla have noticed that the boy named Ji Lin seemed to be from Shenzhou?

But why it appeared in Siberia was something that puzzled Tesla.

It seems that Tianming has a branch in Shenzhou, right?

Thinking about it this way, Tesla felt that it was more likely that Yohaka and the others were chosen ones. However, because Yohaka and the others looked too young, Tesla did not connect the chosen ones with Yohaka and the others.

However, Tesla noticed that the child named Ji Lin seemed quite wary of him. From the moment they met, the child kept asking him questions.

Although it seemed normal, Tesla knew very well that as a veteran of the Anti-Entropy organization, the mortal enemy of the Destiny forces, how could the Valkyries of the Destiny forces not recognize him?

But these children didn't arrest me immediately after they saw me. Could it be that those children weren't sent by the forces of destiny?

Or do these children not recognize themselves?

However, Tesla glanced at Yuhaka next to Ji Lin out of the corner of his eye. In Tesla's eyes, only this child was special.

Here, Ji Lin and Xi Lin both address Yuhaka as "Master" and "Teacher."
