My outrageous life in Honkai Impact 3

After thinking for a long time, Eleanor could only come up with this one sentence: she joined Schicksal mainly to repay Otto for saving her, and also to be able to see Otto from time to time and help him.

"Let me ask you this: what do you think of the experiments that Destiny has been conducting behind the scenes? For example, the black box that Destiny lost a few days ago."

Eleanor was startled. How did Luo Chen know about this? Very few people even within Destiny knew about this experiment. How did Luo Chen, someone completely unrelated to Destiny, find out? Could he be the phantom thief who stole the black box?!

"You're curious about how I found out, and you're wondering if I'm the one who stole the black box."

The figure on the recliner became illusory. Eleanor saw black smoke emanating from the chair opposite her, followed by Luo Chen appearing there, propping his head up and looking at her.

"If I say yes, what will you do? Pull out a dagger and stab me?"

"I can't beat you."

Eleanor was well aware of her own strength. Having been brutally beaten by Luo Chen for several days, she knew the gap between them well. If she really did that, she would be courting death.

"I want to know why you are going against fate."

"No reason."

Luo Chen chuckled, and the aura emanating from him suddenly changed, giving Eleanor a particularly dangerous feeling. She subconsciously drew her dagger.

"Let's get back to our previous topic. What do you think of Destiny?"

Luo Chen raised his right hand, pinched the blade of the dagger with two fingers, and with a little force, the blade split in two.

Eleanor remained expressionless, put away the dagger that had broken in two, and sat back down in her chair.

"The purpose of Destiny is to fight against Honkai."

"But that doesn't mean you can exploit the people at will. Don't pretend you don't know what that old dog Viktor did. Does eliminating the Honkai mean you have to just plunder money?"

With a cold face, Luo Chen opened a spatial door, from which an empty box fell out. Eleanor recognized it as the box Victor used to store gold coins.

"And do you really think that you can control the power of that black box?"

"Lord Otto's experiment won't go wrong. As long as the experiment succeeds, we can gain the power to resist the Honkai!"

"You think Otto is too omnipotent."

Luo Chen shook his head. That's one of Eleanor's flaws. She trusts Otto without any limits. He guessed that even if Otto sold her out, she would still help him count the money.

“I told him a long time ago that he couldn’t control the power inside that black box. He listened to me, but guess who insisted on continuing the experiment?”

Eleanor remained silent. She vaguely remembered that Otto and the bishop had a debate a long time ago, something about whether or not to study the black box, but Otto had ultimately lost.

"And you don't really think that those old fogies at Destiny are researching the black box for some good reason, do you? Of course, I don't deny that there might be some good reason. But you can tell from your Eastern Expedition, which was utterly destroyed by the Crimson Kite Immortal, that most of the Destiny's higher-ups are not good people."

Luo Chen continued talking to himself, then saw Eleanor with her head down and sighed deeply.

"I will not return the black box. You can report me to the Bishop of Destiny. As for whether you can catch me, that's up to you."

Eleanor remained silent for a while, and finally just shook her head.

"I won't tell."

"up to you."

Luo Chen shrugged, resting his hands on the table, and looked idly at the woods outside the courtyard.

"Lord Luo Chen, can you tell me what's inside the black box?"

"This."

Luo Chen glanced at Eleanor, then turned his gaze back to the tree.

How do I explain this to her? Not many people know the concept of a Herrscher these days, so explaining it might be a bit complicated.

"Inside is a key of the gods, similar to the Black Abyss White Flower in your hand and Judah in Kallen's hand."

Luo Chen felt that Eleanor could understand this explanation, since they were familiar with the concept of the Divine Key.

"The Key of God... but why does it feel less like the Key of God and more like a living thing?"

"This is complicated to explain. Simply put, the key to God in the black box is a half-finished product, and a consciousness resides inside it. If a normal person comes across it, they will be bewitched by it."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. By the way, are you really not going to report me to Destiny?"

Luo Chen stretched out his hands, looking like he was ready to be disposed of.

Eleanor shook her head decisively. There was no practical point in taking Luo Chen back. Moreover, after hearing what Luo Chen said, Eleanor felt that continuing to study the black box might not be a good thing. It would be bad if Otto got hurt as a result.

"Lord Luo Chen, you are Lord Otto's teacher, I believe in you."

"You trust me so quickly?"

“My intuition tells me that you are indeed trustworthy.”

"Just relying on intuition?"

"Just go by intuition."

Luo Chen felt a bit confused. Just now, Eleanor was seriously trying to fight him, but now she believed in him based on some inexplicable intuition. He wasn't some fox god, so how could his belief be so strong?

"Am I getting old or what? I seem to be falling behind your way of thinking."
