The four girls froze the moment they saw Luo Chen's face, but Aurora was the first to react and rushed into Luo Chen's arms.
"Brother Luo Chen!"
"Well, it's me."
Aurora's voice trembled. From the time they parted to their reunion, Luo Chen had only experienced a few hours, but it was different for them. For more than two months, they had been in a dark and gloomy prison cell until they were rescued not long ago.
Galina burst into tears, clinging tightly to Luo Chen's neck, her tears soaking his clothes.
"Okay, stop crying, I'm back."
Luo Chen comforted Galina, and at the same time embraced Bella and Agatha.
Everyone had lost a lot of weight, especially Galina, who was already petite but now looked even thinner. Coupled with her introverted personality, she gave off a frail and delicate impression.
"I'm sorry, it's all because of me."
Luo Chen clenched his right hand tightly, feeling very guilty. If he hadn't gone after Void Treasury, they wouldn't have suffered so much.
"Brother Luo Chen, Xi Lin is still there! Please go and save her!"
Aurora nervously tugged at Luo Chen's sleeve, but Luo Chen patted her head to reassure her that he would go.
"You guys play by yourselves for a while, I'm going to talk to that older sister about something."
Although Luo Chen was eager to know how his father had rescued them, time was of the essence, and there was no time to waste on that.
"Are you able to get in touch with Otto right now?"
"No. His Excellency the Bishop instructed that after I meet you, you will be in charge of everything here."
"That's fine. You stay here with these children and I'll come back to find you after I'm done with the Tower of Babel."
"I understand. I await your good news."
Just as Luo Chen was about to leave, Aurora grabbed his hem. He turned around and saw four people following behind him.
"Brother Luo Chen, we want to go with you."
"That's right!"
The four of them spoke sincerely, fearing that Luo Chen might not return after leaving.
"No! This time is different from before. You'll all die if you follow me!"
Luo Chen spoke with a dark expression. This was the first time Aurora and the others had seen Luo Chen like this, and they couldn't help but feel a little scared.
But their fear couldn't deter their determination. The four of them grabbed Luo Chen's clothes, determined to follow him.
"You guys let go, I really can't take you with me this time."
Seeing that the four still wouldn't let go, Luo Chen moved forward in a blur, but after only a few steps, Galina grabbed his right leg.
"No, I don't want to be separated from Brother Luo Chen again!"
Galina was crying her eyes out, and Luo Chen couldn't bear to see her like that. He pulled her up and wiped away her tears. After hesitating for a long time, he finally sighed.
"Alright then, but you have to listen to me."
"Yes, we will!"
The group nodded and promised that they would obediently follow Luo Chen.
"Sigh, come with me."
Luo Chen led the four people outside the villa, found an open space, and released the Thousand Realms One Rhythm from the imaginary space.
"It's too dangerous for the four of you to stay outside with me. Go inside and stay here."
Luo Chen pointed to the open car door of Qianjie Yicheng and led the four people into the car without saying a word.
"Brother Luo Chen, how are we supposed to follow you up here?"
Aurora looked around the high-tech cockpit, took Luo Chen's hand, and voiced her doubts.
"You stay in here, and then I'll put this locomotive into a space. See that screen? I'll project my situation onto it."
Luo Chen pointed to the holographic screen on the main control panel. He had just learned this method from Hei Chen. He didn't know how Hei Chen knew it, but as long as it worked, that was fine.
Chapter 222 Just a Fool
After settling the four people in, Luo Chen reconstructed a mask, put it on his face, and flew towards the Tower of Babel.
Outside the Tower of Babel, Nicholas sat listlessly in the snow, his spear slung over his shoulder and a frozen dried squid dangling from his mouth.
"Salome, want some?"
"No. Besides, we're still on a mission, can you please stop messing around?"
Salome scolded Nicholas and punched him in that very spot.
"Okay, I see."
Nicholas patted his clothes, picked up the spear that had been knocked away, looked at the mech unit fighting the Honkai Beast horde, and said rather disappointedly, "But it seems like we're not needed."
"Salome, something's flying over there!"
Nicholas pointed to the sky, and Salome turned her head to look. When she saw that it was Luo Chen, she put down the weapon she had just picked up.
Luo Chen landed in front of the two. Nicholas observed this mysterious being, whom even Siegfried respected, without any hesitation, and was very curious about what his full strength would be like.
"Where are Siegfried and the others?"
"They're over there."
Nicholas pointed in the direction Siegfried and the others had left, and Luo Chen indeed sensed a surge of immense Honkai energy and teleported away from the spot.
"Salome, did you see clearly when he used Honkai energy?"
Nicholas scratched his head. The Honkai energy reaction on Luo Chen's body just now lasted only a moment. She had only seen Cecilia use Honkai energy at this speed.
"No, I estimate his strength is about the same as the captain's, or even higher."
Luo Chen quickly traversed the Honkai beast horde and finally encountered Siegfried, who was carrying Theresa as they retreated, at the edge of a forest.
“Mr. Tarantula, you’re back.”
"Ah."
Luo Chen looked at Theresa in Siegfried's arms and saw a large hole punched in her abdomen. He couldn't help but recall the time when he was stabbed by Sirin.
"Don't move yet."
Luo Chen placed his hand above Theresa's wound and used the power of the Law of Death to accelerate the growth of cells in Theresa's body, barely repairing her injury.
"I can only provide temporary relief; you should take her home immediately."
Luo Chen left those words behind and sped off, passing through the forest and arriving at a plain, where he happened to see Walter being swallowed whole by Benares.
"Good heavens, Old Yang got swallowed!"
Although Luo Chen knew that Walter wouldn't be killed so easily, seeing him swallowed whole by such a huge dragon was still quite shocking. So much so that his gaze remained fixed on Benares, and he didn't notice that Sirin was looking at him.
"Another insignificant bastard, just die!"
Sirin raised her hand to shoot the Void Spear, but Benares's mournful cry interrupted her.
She turned her head and saw a huge gash on Benares's neck. Walter, with his slicked-back hair, floated out from inside and glanced at Luo Chen on the ground.
"It seems the information the teacher gave was somewhat inaccurate."
On a distant hillside, Otto, wearing a clown mask, stood with his hands behind his back, observing the three people and one beast on the plain. To be precise, none of these creatures were human.
"Given the current situation, the Second Herrscher has no chance of escaping. Moreover, her attitude towards the teacher is still uncertain. If she doesn't get to the moon, then everything that follows will be in vain."
Otto tapped his mask with his right hand, knowing he had to leave the field early and make the situation as chaotic as possible.
"Amber, notify Xuanyu to have the Snow Feather Squad on standby, ready to deploy at any time. Also, have Cecilia prepare herself in case the situation becomes irreversible and she needs to step in."
Otto crushed the terminal in his hand, casually throwing the fragments on the ground. Now it was his turn to be the Fool.
"Walter, leave her to me."
"It's too dangerous for you to go alone, let's go together."
Walter rejected Luo Chen's suggestion. He had already prepared to die when facing Xilin alone, but now that they were together, even if they couldn't win, they could still run away.
"This...is okay."
Luo Chen was a little conflicted. He couldn't take off his mask here, because it would be bad if Walter saw what he looked like.
"An ant, and a traitor. They dare to dream of defeating me? How laughable."
With her arms crossed, Celine's long purple hair and skirt fluttered in the wind, and with that puffed-up expression, it seemed the purple pufferfish had officially arrived.
"Really? You really think you're so strong?"
Luo Chen teleported in front of Xi Lin and slashed with his sword. Seeing that Xi Lin was distracted, he quickly controlled his strength and turned the blade to the back, slashing at Xi Lin's arm.
Feeling the pain, Xilin flew backward, staring at Luo Chen in disbelief. Just as she was about to say something, Luo Chen was shot away by a lance.
"WTF?"
Luo Chen was sent flying far away by the mimicked Black Abyss White Flower, crashing into the snow and rolling several times. When he finally stopped, he saw a clown standing in front of him.
"Damn it, Otto, are you trying to kill me?"
Luo Chen clutched his shoulder where a hole had been cut. Luckily, he had the power of the Death Law, otherwise he didn't know when the injury would heal.
