"Feel sorry."
Xuan Yu lowered her long sword, and the chains emitted light, forming a sphere of light that enveloped Xi Lin's body. The sea of flowers gradually gathered, eventually existing only near the sphere of light.
"Alright, that way, Sirin won't bother you for a while."
Xuan Yu threw the knife in her hand forward, and the knife turned into stars and disappeared.
"Auntie, what's going on?"
Kiana had no time to react to what had just happened. Sirin, who had been bothering her for so long, had actually been sealed away by Xuan Yu.
"This is all thanks to the crystal that Xiao Chen gave me."
Xuan Yu opened her palm, and a black crystal floated in her hand, emanating a very dense Honkai energy.
"what is this?"
"Anyway, your memories of this place will disappear after you leave, so I might as well tell you."
Xuan Yu tidied her words slightly and explained to Kiana, "I don't really know how this thing was formed. Xiao Chen gave it to me after the Second Honkai Impact ended, saying that it could be used to use many different abilities."
"The second Honkai Impact? Wasn't Luo Chen only a little over a year old back then?"
Kiana racked her brains but still couldn't understand Xuan Yu's meaning. Logically speaking, Luo Chen should not have been involved during the Second Honkai Impact, so why did Luo Chen give this thing to Xuan Yu?
"Well, actually, at some point in the future, Xiao Chen went back to the past, just in time for the second Honkai Impact. He did some things along the way."
"whats the matter?"
Kiana vaguely sensed that Xuan Yu's words had a hidden meaning, so she stared at her intently, wanting her to explain.
"you guess."
Seeing Kiana's expression turn sour, Xuan Yu couldn't help but laugh, and said mysteriously, "I can give you a hint: why does Sirin always call Xiao Chen 'Brother Luo Chen'?"
"This……"
Kiana's brain was working at lightning speed. After losing Mei and Luo Chen, her intelligence had regained its dominance, and she guessed what Xuan Yu was going to say.
"Did Luo Chen meet with Xilin?"
"It's more than just meeting up; this girl is taking care of a whole bunch of little ones. Someone even said she has too many kids to raise."
"Someone?"
"It's nothing, you'll find out about these things later."
"Ok."
Kiana didn't press the matter, which put Xuan Yu at ease; she had almost let something slip.
"Mom, you'd better not show up before I come to you in person, or it will disrupt my plans."
Although Luo Chen had said those words, she ultimately couldn't resist. She couldn't bring herself to enjoy herself while the children suffered.
"Alright, alright, that's enough for now. Don't worry about Xilin for now; she won't be out anytime soon. You'll find out about the other things later. I should head out now. Staying here too long will only harm you."
Xuan Yu flicked Kiana's head one last time, then her body turned into a stream of light and disappeared, leaving Kiana alone in the entire space.
After coming out, Xuan Yu put away the crystal in her hand, quietly slipped out of the room, and came to the living room to sit leisurely on the sofa, staring blankly ahead.
"Speaking of which, Xiao Chen should have found the surprise I gave him by now, right?"
Chapter 147 Detective Rita
Rewinding to a few days earlier, after Rita obtained the data from the humanoid machine's brain, she immediately returned to the base. As soon as she entered, she saw Luo Meng sitting at the bar, looking bored.
"Rita, you're back."
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
"It's alright, after all, Rita, you still have a mission."
Luo Meng got off the chair, told Rita, and went upstairs to the second floor. Rita put all the equipment away first, then went up to the living room. She saw Luo Chen sitting cross-legged on the sofa, his face expressionless. But based on Rita's intuition, Luo Meng's current state was completely different from before.
"Meng'er, did something happen to you?"
"What's wrong? Why do you ask that?"
Luo Meng said this on the surface, but she was inwardly shocked. When she came back from Xuan Yu's place, she was told not to let anyone else know about this. Could it have been discovered so quickly? Was her acting really that bad?
Luo Meng's voice was still cold, and Kelita sensed something was off. Knowing Luo Meng as she did, her voice sounded deliberately different from her usual tone.
If Luo Meng knew what Rita was thinking, she would definitely imitate Luo Chen and complain about Rita, asking why she cared about these strange things.
"It's nothing, I was just asking."
After a moment's consideration, Rita decided not to delve any deeper. Everyone has their own privacy, and as a good maid, it's not a good thing to pry into other people's affairs.
"Rita, have you completed your mission?"
"Yes."
Rita took out her electronic prosthetic eye and explained to Luo Meng, "The intelligence is all on this. Now we just need to take it back and the mission will be over."
"Can this thing store intelligence?"
Luo Meng asked Rita for the electronic prosthetic eye, fiddled with the somewhat heavy thing, couldn't see anything special about it, and then returned it to Rita.
"Let's leave this to His Excellency the Bishop to worry about."
"Captain, we're back!"
Luo Meng heard Chen Xuan shouting from downstairs, and then she saw Chen Xuan running upstairs with her gun in her arms, and then tripping and falling on the last step.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
"Who told you to be so carefree?"
Chen Jin pulled Chen Xuan up and casually put her on the ground, as if she were doing something very ordinary.
"Indeed, we seem to have gotten used to it."
Gelin, dressed in casual clothes, had long since put away her lance and armor. She leaned against the wall and laughed as she watched Chen Xuan lying on the ground.
"Really! You're all making fun of me!"
Chen Xuan got up from the ground angrily, and seeing Luo Meng's forced smile, she gave Chen Jin a knowing look.
"Alright, Sister Chen Xuan, stop fooling around."
Luo Meng approached Chen Jin, took the gun from her hand, and then reached for Chen Jin's knife.
"I'll go put the weapons away, you guys talk."
After confirming that Luo Meng had left, Chen Xuan quickly pulled Chen Jin and Ge Lin to Rita's side and whispered, "Lady Rita, has something happened to Meng'er? She seems to have reverted back to her old self."
"It should be, and it's likely closely related to Xiao Chen's whereabouts."
Rita transforms into a master detective. As the saying goes, the one who tied the knot must untie it; now, the only thing that can change Luo Meng's mind is news of Luo Chen. But who will tell her about Luo Chen?
'It's impossible with Lady Theresa, and the bishop won't say either. Then who is it?'
Rita analyzed the possible candidates one by one, and finally focused on a name that she was familiar with.
"Lady Xuanyu? It's highly likely to be her. She's finally appeared?"
Rita's understanding of Xuan Yu was still based on other people's descriptions of her, especially Kiyono Hatsuyuki; she herself had never met this senior who was comparable to an S-class Valkyrie.
"Lady Rita, what are you saying?"
Gelin vaguely heard a name, but couldn't make it out. However, judging from Rita's pensive look, she knew that this person was probably related to Luo Meng's transformation.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to confirm something."
Rita handed her prosthetic eye to the three people for safekeeping and went downstairs to make some desserts.
The coffee shop door was pushed open, the bell hanging next to it rang, and a beautiful figure walked straight to the bar and sat down opposite Rita.
"Welcome! What would you like to order, sir?"
Although it was already night, it didn't disturb the coffee shop's business, and Rita switched from one work mode to another.
"Let me think... a cappuccino and a chocolate cake, I guess."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Rita busied herself in the kitchen, then placed a cappuccino and a cake in front of the woman, along with a complimentary fruit salad.
"Please enjoy."
The woman glanced at Rita with her gray eyes, tilted her head, and said with a grin, "I don't think I ordered this, did I?"
"This is a complimentary gift."
"Thank you then."
"Rita Rossweisse, is that the name?"
The woman finished the cake, then casually spoke while holding her cappuccino, her eyes fixed on the cup.
"That's right. What are your orders, Lady Xuanyu?"
"It's a bit of a surprise that such an outstanding junior knows this old-fashioned person."
Xuan Yu put down her cup and met Rita's gaze. Rita could even see her own reflection in Xuan Yu's deep gray eyes.
"You flatter me, senior. You're a legend at headquarters."
