Mei knew things were going badly. Rita, an S-rank Valkyrie, was already troublesome enough. If more people came, the two of them would really have no choice but to run away, and they might not even be able to escape.
“Miss Raiden Mei, don’t worry, Rita is the only one here. As for the others, they’ve gone after Lady Theresa, of course.”
"Mei, what should we do?"
Yuno whispered that the current situation was extremely bad. They had to hold off an S-class, Theresa had people chasing after her, and Luo Meng might also be there. If that happened, they were doomed.
"Let's try to stall them."
Rita charged at Mei, wielding her scythe, and Mei raised her sword to parry. But in just one exchange, Mei was knocked away by Rita.
"Miss Raiden Mei, the strength of an S-rank Valkyrie is not as simple as you imagine. You've been protected too much by Xiao Chen, and you're too naive about external things."
Mei stood up, the plasma screen in front of her, and glared at Rita through gritted teeth.
"You are not worthy to mention his name. If it weren't for your destiny, how could Chen have died! How could Kiana have been running around like this!"
Almost instantly, Mei appeared in front of Rita, slashing at her chest with her sword. Seeing that Rita effortlessly blocked the attack, she then slashed at her waist.
Rita spun her scythe, knocking Mei back, and vines sprouted from her feet, locking Mei's legs in place. Yuno appeared behind her, her naginata sweeping across Rita's back.
A mechanical dog suddenly emerged from the shadows, biting the blade of the naginata and stopping it with overwhelming force. Taking advantage of this moment, Rita cut the vines and used the scythe handle to repel Yuno.
"What a clever combination, but it's not very useful."
Rita's praise did not make the two happy. Although Mei and Yuno attacked Rita from the front and back, they dared not make any rash moves.
"Now that your attacks are over, it's Rita's turn."
Rita spun her scythe, weaving around the two in an extremely bizarre manner, each appearance bringing an unavoidable attack that the two could only desperately try to block.
As a result, Yuno was caught off guard and was knocked away by Rita, crashing into Mei. The two of them flew backward until they hit a wall and came to a stop.
"It seems neither of you has the ability to continue fighting."
Mei struggled to her feet, feeling as if her internal organs were about to be knocked out, especially since she had acted as Yuno's cushion and suffered a second impact.
"Mei, what do we do now? Should we retreat?"
Yuno used her naginata to support her body; her whole body ached, and she no longer had the strength to fight.
"There's no other way, let's retreat."
Upon hearing her own words, Yuno struggled to raise her hand, and vines wrapped around her to form a wall. Mei also threw a few smoke bombs to distract Rita's vision, and the two quickly left this dangerous place.
Rita just watched them escape. To be honest, if Rita had really wanted to catch them, the two of them would probably be lying on the ground barely alive by now.
"Oh dear, what a careless mistake, they actually got away."
Rita muttered to herself in an exaggerated tone, and the terminal in her hand lit up, displaying a map with a red dot moving at high speed.
"However, the mission still needs to be completed. Don't blame Rita for putting a tracker on you, Raiden Mei."
Chapter 140 is truly delightful.
Upon hearing his mother's name, Luo Chen instantly teleported to Hill's side. His golden eyes suddenly brightened, making Hill feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"You just mentioned the name Xuan Yu?"
"Yes, it's Aunt Xuanyu."
Hill glanced at the ceiling, avoiding eye contact with Luo Chen, and felt a little better before answering Luo Chen's question.
"Aunt Xuanyu left us a letter, saying that she wanted us to take good care of you."
With that, Hill had Seele take out the letter and hand it to Luo Chen. Then the two of them, one big and one small, stood to the side, waiting for Luo Chen to finish reading it.
Luo Chen read the words on the paper repeatedly, returned the letter to Xi'er, found a chair to sit down, and rested his head on his hand without saying a word.
Hill curiously leaned closer, waving his hand in front of Luo Chen a few times. Luo Chen glanced at him sideways, his tone somewhat somber.
"what are you doing?"
"Since you're not saying anything, I came over to check on you."
Hill blinked, and although he didn't do anything on the surface, he was screaming inside.
'Frog fun! Master actually woke up! His white hair and golden eyes are so handsome! Much more handsome than before.'
"So, you know my mom?"
"Yes, let's just say that Aunt Xuanyu fixed this world bubble for us."
"What are you talking about? What do you mean by 'fixed'?"
Luo Chen was completely confused. Could a world bubble really be fixed? Could it be like Bianca's?
"I need to explain to you what Aunt Xuanyu has been doing these past few days. This is what she wants us to know."
Hill found a piece of paper, wrote and drew on it, and told Luo Chen what Xuan Yu had been doing all these years.
"My mom has this ability!"
Upon hearing that Xuan Yu could freely traverse the Sea of Quanta, Luo Chen exclaimed in surprise. Xuan Yu indeed had many secrets she hadn't told him. For example, it was Luo Chen himself who uncovered her identity as a pre-destiny A-rank Valkyrie. Who knew what other astonishing secrets she might be hiding?
"By the way, when did you two meet my mom?"
It can only be said that Luo Chen's ability to accept information is really strong. Hill originally thought that she would have to explain to Luo Chen several times before he could understand the situation, but in reality, she only gave a general overview, and Luo Chen had already figured out the whole picture.
"It was probably a few years ago. Aunt Xuanyu told me that it was around the time you went to St. Freya."
"At this time? What was my mom doing before that?"
"I don't know, my aunt didn't tell us."
Seeing that he couldn't get any information, Luo Chen had no choice but to give up. He noticed that Xi'er was standing to the side, waving at him.
"Seele, what are you doing standing there? Come here."
"Um... big brother, you haven't told us your name yet."
"Uh... okay, I forgot, I'm sorry."
Luo Chen grinned, his expression turning serious: "Hello, Luo Chen. Miss Seele Vollerai."
"Hello, Brother Luo Chen."
Seele blushed as she answered, clearly feeling somewhat uncomfortable speaking to strangers.
"How did Brother Luo Chen know my name?"
"Well... guess."
Luo Chen had just mentioned Xi'er's name directly, which surprised her. According to the stories Aunt Xuanyu had told her before, she and Luo Chen hadn't seen each other for a long time. So it couldn't have been Xuanyu who told him, which made things rather intriguing.
"Seele, don't ask so many questions. That's just how Master is; he always knows something special. You'll get used to it."
Hill reminded Seele in her inner world that she was already used to this kind of thing, as she always encountered it when she was with the Firemoth.
“Seele, I not only know your name, I also know that there is another you.”
As soon as Luo Chen finished speaking, a scythe appeared at his neck. Xi'er's eyes turned red, and she stared at him with a stern face.
"Tell me, how did you know?"
"There's no need for this, right?"
Luo Chen blurred through the scythe, wanting to pat Xi'er's head, but she dodged him, and he withdrew his hand with slight regret.
Hei Xi glared fiercely at Luo Chen, then looked at Hill who hadn't stopped him, and put the scythe back to his side.
Is it so hard to know you exist?
Luo Chen's smile made Hei Xi feel very strange, as if Luo Chen had seen through all her secrets. He turned his head and snorted coldly.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."
Luo Chen sat back in his chair and said calmly, "I'll tell you why I knew about your existence later. Now let's talk about how to get out of this hellhole."
Upon hearing Luo Chen mention the Sea of Quanta, Hei Xi silently put away her scythe, crossed her arms, sat on the edge of the bed, returned her body to Xi'er, and began to spy on the screen from inside her body.
"Brother Luo Chen, may I call you that? Didn't you just say you were going to take us out?"
Hill thought it over carefully and decided that it was best not to call Luo Chen "Master" for the time being, since he was himself, but not entirely himself.
"Yes, I'm the one who's worried, even though you're not."
The thought of having three little ones to take care of at home... Oh, no, four. Luo Chen felt a headache coming on. If he went home late, Mei might be the one getting hammered by the Sinner's Lament.
"Our Lord Luo Chen is actually afraid of his wife, how pathetic!"
Ignoring the mockery of the black dust in his mind, Luo Chen and Xi'er discussed how to get out.
"If we really want to say something, we'll need the help of the people in our original world to get out, but that involves a major event in the future."
"What's the big deal?"
"The birth of a new Herald of Reason."
Hill stared in surprise. Xuan Yu had told them that the current Herrscher of Reason was a man named Welt, so why was Luo Chen talking about a new one?
'Wait, Master said it's a new one. Does that mean the current Herrscher can still be passed down?'
"Brother Luo Chen, what are you talking about? Aren't there only one Herrscher for each power?"
"That's certainly true for your pre-civilization, except for the Herrschers after you became rulers. By the way, you probably don't know about the Herrscher of Domination; it appeared after you."
"Because of some small actions by your previous civilization, the Herrschers of the present civilization have gained self-awareness and are no longer completely controlled by her Honkai. Therefore, in the present civilization, there are a few Herrschers who fight for humanity."
