Hei Xi didn't care about any of that; she had just seen Luo Chen's arm resting on Xi Xi's chest, an undeniable fact.
"Isn't my apology enough? Black Hero, can you please put your scythe away?"
Chapter 169 Adventure Team
Upon hearing Luo Chen call him Hei Xixia, Hei Xixia glared at Luo Chen fiercely, like a cat with its fur standing on end, her anger undisguised.
"Why are you so angry?"
Luo Chen moved the scythe aside, completely unafraid that Hei Xi would suddenly slash him with it. Sure enough, Hei Xi merely scoffed, withdrew the scythe, crossed her arms, and turned her head away, refusing to speak to Luo Chen.
"Why are you here?"
Seeing that Hei Xi was ignoring him, Luo Chen had no choice but to find Xi'er, dragged a chair for her to sit on, and came behind her to massage her shoulders, hoping that she wouldn't mind what had just happened.
Hill particularly enjoyed Luo Chen's massages. She used to be the one giving Luo Chen massages, calling it exercise, and most importantly, she actually believed it.
"We were walking down a corridor, and at the end there was a large door. After going through the door, there was another corridor, and then we came here."
"Yeah."
Luo Chen didn't pay attention to the details. He assumed they were searching room by room, and finding him was probably an accident.
"Hey Luo Chen, what are you doing here?"
"This is a bit complicated to explain. Simply put, I came here from another world, and you arrived before I even understood what was going on."
Luo Chen is very worried about Yuno. He believes that Gray Yuno won't hurt Yuno. After interacting with her a few times, he knows that she's just like the Herrscher of Thunder—equally arrogant.
His worry was that if Yuno discovered she was missing and searched for him in the Sea of Quanta, she would get lost and be doomed. Or, if she accidentally encountered Kevin, who was a Herrscher, it would be a certain death situation.
"Brother Luo Chen, what should we do next?"
Hill naturally handed over command to Luo Chen, and she was only responsible for following the instructions.
"Let's go outside and look for any clues. Staying here all the time isn't going to work."
Luo Chen stopped massaging Hei Xi and, seeing her sulking, waved his hand in front of her.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Hei Xi turned her head away. Luo Chen's hand was in her way. If she wasn't afraid that Xi Xi would scold her, she would have slapped him.
"Can't you at least call me by my name?"
Luo Chen smiled wryly, withdrew his hand, and scratched his head helplessly. Hei Xi's temper seemed a bit strange to him. At this stage, she was indifferent to anything other than Xi'er and Hill, so it was no wonder she reacted so strongly just now.
"Call me by my name? You want me to call you Brother Luo Chen? Dream on."
Luo Chen found Hei Xi's angry expression somewhat cute and wanted to pat her head, but fearing she would lash out again, he could only secretly regret it.
"Didn't you say you were going out? Let's go then."
"Alright, I'll go first."
The three of them walked out of the room, but there was still no one in the corridor, which made Luo Chen wonder what time it was.
'The timeline after the last massacre of the Restraint incident showed there were still many people, so why is the corridor empty now? Have all the Herrschers of Corruption been defeated?'
He arrived at a spacious hall and finally saw some people. Strangely, however, they all looked surprised when they saw him, and he could feel them slowly moving away from him.
"What's happening here?"
Hill noticed this and hid behind Luo Chen, watching the scene with a puzzled look. He touched Luo Chen's arm with his finger, wanting him to explain.
"I don't know, maybe I'm just a monster in their eyes."
Luo Chen smiled faintly. This timeframe must have been after the tragedy of the Restraint Incident, after which Fusion Warriors were ostracized by most people. This explains why people were behaving this way.
"Why do you say that?"
Hill was puzzled. The concept of fusion warriors had not yet emerged when she died, so she naturally did not know the inside story, let alone the identity of Chen, the first test subject of the Chimera Project.
"By the way, you should have already, you know, that... never mind, you get the idea."
Luo Chen thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a good word to describe Hill's death. In the end, he could only gesture with his hands on his neck to let Hill understand what he meant.
"Anyway, my identity in this world is that of a person who has fused with Honkai Beast genes, and to normal people, I am no different from a monster."
"It has fused with the genes of Honkai Beasts?"
Hei Xi repeated it softly, the sentence having a significant impact on her. She was astonished that the previous civilization had gone to such lengths to eliminate the Honkai. Did that mean Luo Chen in his past life…
Hill looked at Luo Chen, a pang of heartache in her eyes. She knew, of course, that this was what her master Chen had experienced after her death. Unlike Hei Xi's surprise, Hill now desperately wanted to know what Chen had gone through.
"Anyway, it's just a bubble in the sky, not real."
Luo Chen didn't care about the Dao. The most important thing now was to find a way out. He couldn't wait to find Yuno.
"Chen, what are you doing here?"
Hearing someone call his name, Luo Chen looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ying walking towards him, with two katana, Frost Prison and Seven Thunders of Purification, hanging from her waist.
"Hello, Sakura."
Luo Chen waved to Ying, who simply nodded in acknowledgment, then said, "Weren't you on a mission out there? Why are you back?"
"We met two little ones along the way who were quite promising, so we brought them back with us."
Luo Chen pointed to Hei Xi and Hill behind him and lied without batting an eye. Hill exclaimed how impressive his technique was.
"Really? You're probably the only one thinking about pulling people in at a time like this."
Sakura glanced at the two people behind Luo Chen and introduced herself: "My name is Sakura, a warrior of the Fire Moth."
"Hello, my name is Hill. This is my sister, Hill."
Hill pulled Black Hill in front of him and introduced himself. Although Black Hill found it troublesome, he nodded in agreement with Hill.
Looking at the two people who looked so alike, Sakura couldn't help but lose herself in thought, remembering Rin who was imprisoned, and silently placed her left hand on the knife.
"Chen, I want to discuss something with you."
After much deliberation, Ying hoped to bring Chen into the group as well. With his help, her chances of successfully rescuing Ling would be much greater, but the chances of winning him over were slim.
Seeing Sakura fully armed, Luo Chen knew without guessing that she was going to rescue Ling. He put his hands behind his back and stroked the bracelet, unsure whether he was comforting Ling or himself.
"Ling has been imprisoned..."
"Because she's a Herrscher, am I right?"
Sakura's eyes widened, her pupils trembling slightly. She was initially incredulous as to how Chen knew, but when she recalled what he had said a while ago, her thin lips parted slightly, and her voice trembled a little.
"So you know everything?"
Luo Chen nodded. He thought Ying was talking about the reason why Ling was imprisoned. Obviously, the two were not on the same wavelength, but they inexplicably clicked.
Having received the answer she already knew, Sakura sighed heavily. When Chen revealed the powers of the Twelfth Herrscher, he glanced at Sakura; she hadn't known why before, but now she understood.
"I'm going to save Ling."
Sakura's eyes were resolute as she drew the Frostfire Blade from her waist. Chen's hatred for the Herrschers and the Honkai was the strongest among them. So she was gambling, gambling on her relationship with Chen, especially given her connection to Rin.
Even if she is a Herrscher?
Even if she is a Herald.
"Okay, let me help you."
Luo Chen's words were beyond Ying's consideration. She thought that it would be good enough if Chen didn't stop her, and she never expected that he would help her.
"What are you standing there for? Lead the way!"
"Okay. What about the two behind you?"
Sakura sheathed her sword and looked at Hill and the other two. The mission to rescue Ling was inherently dangerous, and she didn't want to involve innocent people.
"They can just follow along."
"Isn't this not good?"
"The main thing is that these two little ones only recognize me, and I will protect them well."
Chapter 170 I Just Don't Talk About Martial Morality
Sakura looked at Hill and the others. Whether for safety reasons or personal reasons, she didn't want to involve them. But at Hill's insistence, she had no choice but to bring them along.
"Sakura, do you know where Rin is being held?"
Following Ying down several floors, the group arrived at the underground space. Looking at the fork in the road in front of them, Luo Chen asked a question.
"I know, come with me."
As soon as Sakura finished speaking, the alarm blared throughout the corridor. Luo Chen looked at the red light above his head and said with a grim expression, "Damn it, Sakura, let's go!"
"what happened?"
"Ling may be in danger."
Upon hearing this, Sakura's face showed anxiety, and she increased her speed. Regardless of whether Luo Chen and the others could keep up, she unleashed a fierce burst of Honkai energy and shot out like an arrow.
"Brother Luo Chen, what's wrong?"
Hill saw Sakura's figure disappear from sight, and then saw Luo Chen with a dark face. He knew that the situation was not good, but he could only ask Luo Chen for details.
"Ling is dead."
Luo Chen's face darkened as he gently stroked his bracelet. Anger welled up within him. He clenched his fists and shouted for Hill and the others to follow, before dashing off in a single stride.
