Theresa rested her head on her hand in thought, then shouted, "I know! It's the black box that Saint Karen took away five hundred years ago!"

"Yes."

"Then how did you know?"

"When I had nothing to do before, I used Aunt Chuxue's access to go through the entire database of Destiny."

“You…” Theresa was speechless at Luo Chen’s actions, then looked at him seriously: “When we get back, I will inform headquarters about this Divine Key. You will have many experiments to conduct, so be prepared.”

"I know... Ugh, so annoying."

Luo Chen answered helplessly, transforming his longsword back into a bracelet. He then looked at Yae Sakura, who was carrying Yae Rin, and said to her...

"Yae Sakura, it's all over now."

"Yeah, it's all over."

Yae Sakura held Yae Rin's hand and said sadly.

"Thank you both. Without you, I would not have been able to find liberation."

As she spoke, Yae Sakura stretched out her hand, and a ball of light emerged from it, then flew towards the two of them respectively.

"Yae Sakura, you..."

Feeling the power within his body, Luo Chen stared wide-eyed at Yae Sakura.

"After all, I'm going to be with Rin. There's no point in keeping these powers any longer. So..."

"Etc., etc!"

Luo Chen interrupted her: "Who told you your sister is no longer in this world?"

Luo Chen took off the necklace and winked at Yae Rin, who was standing next to Yae Sakura. Yae Rin understood and covered her mouth to chuckle.

"Can……"

Before Yae Sakura could speak, Yae Rin, whom she was holding, suddenly vanished. The next moment, Yae Rin floated out of Luo Chen's necklace and waved at Yae Sakura.

"Sister, I'm here!"

"Rin!"

Yae Sakura stared in disbelief at the scene before her, then quickly walked up to Luo Chen and reached out to touch Yae Rin, only to find herself grasping at empty air.

"Sister, you're so silly. I'm just a soul right now."

"This..." Yae Sakura was speechless, staring at her quietly for a long while before finally speaking, "Mr. Luo Chen, my sister..."

"Still alive, though only in a spirit-like form."

Having received Luo Chen's affirmation, Yae Sakura knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face, looking at Yae Rin floating in the air, repeatedly saying, "That's great."

"Well then, Miss Yae Sakura. I can take your sister out. In exchange, can you grant me a request?"

Yae Sakura wiped away her tears, stood up again, and nodded solemnly to Luo Chen: "If Mr. Luo Chen can take Xiao Lin out, then my life belongs to Mr. Luo Chen."

"Don't do that." Luo Chen waved his hand, looking gently at the two sisters standing together. "My request is, Miss Yae Sakura, after we return to reality, come back to St. Freya with us. I will find a way to revive Rin."

"Okay. I promise you." Yae Sakura immediately agreed, then looked at her younger sister standing beside her, who was acting cute towards Luo Chen, and couldn't help but smile.

"Then it's settled."

As soon as Luo Chen finished speaking, he felt something pulling at him, instantly realizing he was about to return to reality. He then said to the others...

"Aunt Theresa, we have to go back now. And Yae Sakura, meet me under the cherry blossom tree in the square after we go out, don't forget!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Chen felt everything go black and lost consciousness.

"Teacher Himeko, Luo Chen seems to be waking up."

"Really? Let me see. Go and notify the medical team immediately, and tell them to come right away."

"Yes."

……

Amidst the commotion, Luo Chen opened his heavy eyelids. A gray tent came into view, followed by the sound of Himeko's voice.

"Little guy, you're finally awake! Do you know how worried we were about you these past few days while you were unconscious?"

"Himeko-sensei, I'm sorry. I made you worry."

Luo Chen turned his head and looked at Ji Zi with an apologetic expression.

"Alright, it's good that you're awake."

Himeko crossed her arms and said seriously, "We examined your body and there's nothing wrong. The only thing is that your Honkai energy fluctuated slightly while you were unconscious. Do you know what that means?"

"This... well, that's where a strange story comes in..." Luo Chen chuckled.

Chapter 24 Team Combat

As Luo Chen sat on the bed recounting his experiences in the Stigmata Space to Himeko, Theresa ran over from the Hyperion. After hearing their account, Himeko understood what had happened.

"So, you two killed a Herrscher in the Stigmata Space, and then Luo Chen inexplicably obtained a Divine Key?"

Ji Zi sat in the chair, looking at Luo Chen sitting on the bed, somewhat unable to believe it.

"Hmm." Luo Chen raised his hand, showing Himeko the bracelet on his wrist. Only when the bracelet transformed into a long sword in Luo Chen's hand did Himeko believe it.

"Alright. Actually, this is a good thing, but I don't know if you can handle this Divine Key now."

Himeko said, looking at Theresa seriously, "But Theresa, I think it's best not to report this Divine Key. With the little guy's current strength, if someone with ill intentions finds out, the consequences will be severe."

"That's true, I didn't think it through before."

Theresa nodded and looked at Luo Chen: "Then I will conduct the experiments from now on. Luo Chen, before you have a certain level of strength, never take out this knife in front of others."

"I see."

"By the way, does the Divine Key have a name?"

Himeko looked at the bracelet on Luo Chen's hand and asked curiously.

"Yes, it's called Jizo Mitama."

"Little guy, you're quite good at coming up with names. It's a really majestic name."

Just then, the tent flap was lifted, and Mei walked in from outside. Kiana and the other three girls followed her in.

"You guys are all here."

Seeing that the tent was crowded with people, Himeko stood up and looked at the girls.

"You two talk, Theresa and I have some things to take care of."

After saying that, Himeko went out with Theresa.

"Goodbye, Professor Himeko. Goodbye, Headmaster."

After saying goodbye to Himeko and Theresa, all five pairs of eyes turned to Luo Chen.

"Um, why are you guys staring at me like that?"

What's been wrong with you these past few days?

"There was an accident."

Luo Chen looked at Yuno, who had a concerned expression, and smiled at her.

"There are too many things to tell you, let me explain slowly."

After Luo Chen recounted the story of the Sacred Mark Space, the group finally felt relieved.

"So, Luo Chen, you and your aunt secretly went to play in the Holy Mark Space behind my back!"

Kiana looked at Luo Chen in shock, complaining, "Why didn't you invite me to do something so fun!"

"You paramecium, all you ever think about is playing!"

Luo Chen punched Kiana on the head, speechless at her thought process.

"Idiot Kiana, Luo Chen and the headmaster are clearly not there to play around."

Bronya looked at Kiana, who was squatting on the ground rubbing her head, and a pixel-sized smile appeared on her lips.

“I, of course I know!” Kiana retorted, “I don’t need you to remind me, little one.”

"Speaking of which, Luo Chen, why was it only you who went to the Sacred Mark Space, while Lilith and I were unharmed?"

"Well, I don't really know either."

Luo Chen shook his head. He wasn't quite sure about Yuno's question either, and ultimately attributed it to the omnipotent Honkai energy.

"By the way, Luo Chen, when will you recover? Tomorrow is the last day of the live-fire exercise."

Lilith said urgently to Luo Chen, "Ever since you fell into a coma, Yuno and I have only dared to grind points on the fringes. If we hadn't been grinding so fast, we would have been at the bottom of the rankings."

"Alright, don't worry. I'll help you get your points back tomorrow."

"Really!"

Lilith immediately cheered and hugged Yuno.

"Mei, if you're free tomorrow, let's go together."

"Eh?"
