Luo Chen sat up and saw Xuan Yu beside the bed. Didn't she say yesterday that she was going to the Heavenly Mandate headquarters? How did she end up here?
"I need to discuss something with you. Hurry up and get dressed, we have a guest."
Xuan Yu left, and Luo Chen scratched his disheveled hair, skillfully combing it back with his hands.
"We have a guest. Who could it be? It can't be Otto, can it?"
Luo Chen changed his clothes, casually picked up the trench coat from the chair, yawned, and went downstairs.
Upon entering the living room, Xuan Yu and Cecilia were talking to someone. Luo Chen glanced around and didn't see Otto, but he did see someone he never expected.
"Grey Snake, it's you?"
Upon seeing the gray snake's golden mask, Luo Chen was wide awake. He knew Otto's attitude, but he didn't know about the gray snake, even though Luo Chen knew he had a story in the previous civilization.
"Please forgive my sudden visit, Mr. Luo Chen."
Gray Snake bowed deeply to Luo Chen, its electronic prosthetic eye flashing red, and its voice still that mechanical tone.
"I have come here to reach a cooperation agreement with you."
After everyone sat down, Jin She showed Luo Chen the briefcase in her hand, then placed it on the table and opened it in front of the three of them.
There were several small devices inside, but you couldn't tell what they were for just by looking at them.
The golden snake picked one up, lifted the outer shell, revealing the complex parts inside and a small core.
"This device can help people with special Honkai energy enter the Sea of Quanta. They only need to inject their own Honkai energy into it to enter and exit at will."
The golden snake reinstalled the device, then picked up another one that was slightly larger, which also contained a core, but was a bit bigger than the previous one.
"And this device can fix the world bubble in the quantum sea and remove the anchor point within it."
"Why are you telling us all this?"
Luo Chen said in a deep voice, feeling that what the golden snake had said was related to him.
"As I've said before, I'm here to seek cooperation with you."
The golden snake placed the device, closed the briefcase, and pushed it to Luo Chen. Although it still used a harsh, mechanical voice, a trace of sincerity was mixed in with it.
"The content of the cooperation is to ask Miss Xuan Yu to enter the Sea of Quanta to fix and collect the anchor points within it."
Chapter 249 Snakes Are Everywhere
"Why me?"
Xuan Yu frowned, her suspicions about the golden snake growing stronger, but Luo Chen didn't seem so surprised, so she continued listening.
"really."
Luo Chen chuckled and turned to look at Xuan Yu. Now he knew why Xuan Yu had left so mysteriously.
"Mom, do you remember what I told you a few days ago?"
Xuan Yu understood immediately upon hearing Luo Chen's words and nodded. Luo Chen had mentioned a few days ago that she would suddenly disappear in a few years, which seemed to be related to this matter.
"Let me ask beforehand, is this safe?"
Luo Chen spoke up, although he thought the question was particularly stupid. How could entering the Sea of Quanta be without danger?
"Didn't you already know the answer?"
The golden snake answered calmly, and Luo Chen shrugged, signaling the golden snake to continue.
"The difficulty of entering the world bubble for anchoring is also different, and the time spent in it may also be different from that in the original world."
The golden snake said this, knowing that it wouldn't convince Luo Chen and the others to cooperate, so he continued.
"I have some things I'd like to discuss with Mr. Luo Chen and Miss Xuan Yu. Miss Cecilia, would you mind leaving for a moment?"
"Okay. I'll go see what Celine and the others are doing."
Cecilia responded decisively that these matters were none of her concern and that she believed Luo Chen would make the right choice.
Cecilia left the living room, and after confirming that she was far away, the Golden Serpent respectfully said to Luo Chen, "Mr. Luo Chen, I think you must know about your past through the Black."
Luo Chen nodded. He knew that the Golden Serpent knew something. The core in the device just now looked very similar to the one he had made. It seemed that it must have been made by him in the previous civilization.
"Hmm, so this anchored world bubble is related to me?"
“That’s right, this is part of your plan. As for why you chose Lady Xuan Yu… First of all, she is your family and will not harm the plan at all. Secondly, her Honkai energy reaction is the most suitable among all the options.”
The two exchanged riddles, which made Xuan Yu, who was standing to the side, feel awkward. She could understand what the golden snake was saying, but why did it say that this matter was related to Luo Chen?
"Xiao Chen, what exactly is going on?"
"Well... Mom, don't be too surprised when I tell you this."
Luo Chen scratched his face with his fingers, trying to think of how to phrase his words.
"You should know about Mom from the pre-civilization era, right?"
"I know... wait, you don't mean you have some connection with the previous civilization, do you?"
"Well, I do have some connection to the previous civilization, but I don't know what that connection is. I'm quite confused myself."
After saying that, the two looked at the golden snake together. The golden snake chuckled and spread its hands, saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Luo Chen. You'll have to explore the matter of the previous civilization yourself. I have no right to tell you these things. But the only thing I can tell you is that what you said is true; you did indeed exist in the previous civilization."
"I knew you wouldn't just tell me that."
Luo Chen crossed his arms; he'd have to investigate this matter slowly once he got back.
"So all of this is related to you, Xiao Chen."
Xuan Yu drawled out the words, "Since that's the case, I need to understand these things properly."
"This gentleman's name is Gray Snake, right? I agree to your request, but you also said this is a cooperation, so you should at least show some sincerity, right?"
"It's natural."
Jin She nodded. Getting something for nothing didn't align with her principles, and besides, the person opposite her was Lord Chen; she would fulfill any request he made.
"I can tell Miss Xuanyu everything you want to know. There's still some time before the plan begins, and I won't bother you until then."
Jin She stood up and bowed to Luo Chen again.
"Now that everything has been said, I shall take my leave."
"Wait, I have a question for you."
Luo Chen stopped the golden snake, suddenly remembering that the golden snake might know something about Mebius.
"Mébius, is she still alive?"
"Snakes are everywhere."
After leaving those words, Jin She left the living room. Luo Chen sat back on the sofa, wondering what Jin She meant by those words. Was Mebius really not dead?
"Mebius...Little Dust, who is she?"
Xuan Yu felt that Luo Chen definitely knew something. If she wasn't mistaken, this person named Mebius should be from a previous civilization.
“A person from a pre-civilization, whom I have met before.”
Luo Chen recalled the first time he met Möbius. Now that he thought about it, the expression on Möbius's face when he looked at him was exactly like seeing an old acquaintance.
"People from a pre-civilization? How are they still alive today?!"
Xuan Yu was surprised. She now knew that the longest-lived person was Fu Hua, but Xuan Yu only knew that Fu Hua lived a long time, and did not know exactly how long.
"It might not be her, it could be a memory cell."
Luo Chen pinched his chin. He thought it was unlikely that the memory would come out of the Paradise of the Past. It was impossible for Mebius's memory to have crawled out of the Paradise of the Past.
"Mom, you don't need to worry about these things. I'll handle them myself."
"That's fine."
Xuan Yu glanced at Luo Chen's wrist, where the red rope she had made was hanging securely.
"By the way, Mom, why did you suddenly come today?"
Yesterday, Xuan Yu said she wanted to take care of her younger self and Kiana, so why did she suddenly show up today?
"Oh... Bishop Otto told me that he needed me here, so I came."
Xuan Yu leaned back on the sofa without restraint, hooked her arm around Luo Chen's neck, and played with his long hair.
"I've always been curious about one thing: why do you keep your hair so long? It's almost as long as mine."
Xuan Yu grabbed one of Luo Chen's strands of hair; it felt so smooth and had a wonderful texture.
"How do you take care of your hair? Mine always looks like straw."
"I don't know, it's natural."
After Xuan Yu got tired of playing, Luo Chen tidied his hair and reached into his pocket, but there was no trace of the hair tie.
"By the way, I left the three hair ties they gave me in my dorm room."
Luo Chen clicked his tongue, casually crafted a hairpin, and was about to tie it up when Xuan Yu snatched it away, her eyes shining brightly.
"Let me help you, I've never tried it before."
Xuan Yu walked behind Luo Chen and skillfully tied his hair into a braid just like the Emperor's. Then she ran in front of Luo Chen and tidied his bangs.
"Alright. Hmm, as expected of me, your cooking is really good."
