Luo Chen greeted him awkwardly, then stood still.
"Okay, don't be so shy."
Gelin patted Luo Chen on the shoulder: "Weren't you quite talkative when you were at St. Freya?"
"Where is it?"
Luo Chen was about to retort when Ge Lin pressed him down into a chair.
"Alright, let's talk about it at the table. Don't you Chinese people love to talk at the dinner table?"
"Oh well."
"So, Xiao Chen, how does it feel to be the only male student at St. Freya?"
As Chen Xuan picked up some food, she leaned towards Luo Chen, looking at him curiously.
"Well..."
Luo Chen stopped what he was doing, thought for a moment, and replied, "I feel alright. I'm either studying or training every day, and I go out to play during my holidays. I'm doing quite well."
"Oh, I see. So, how's your relationship with your classmates? Have you found a girlfriend yet?"
Upon hearing this, everyone else turned their attention to Luo Chen.
"Sister Xuan, why are you asking this?"
Luo Chen covered his face speechlessly, then looked at Chen Xuan with a resentful gaze.
"Don't look at me like that. Besides, you're our captain's older brother. When there are no missions, we treat our captain like a little sister. Basically, you're our younger brother. What's wrong with an older sister caring about her younger brother's love life?"
Seeing Chen Xuan's self-righteous attitude, Luo Chen had no choice but to reply, "I'm really sorry, I haven't talked to her yet."
"You haven't talked about it? Then you're considering your sister."
""I……""
Luo Chen felt a sudden shortness of breath; it seemed Chen Xuan had dug a pit for him to fall into.
"Alright, Xiaoxuan, stop teasing Xiaochen." Looking at her younger sister's expression, Chen Jin felt a headache coming on and punched her on the head: "Look at you, Xiaochen is embarrassed."
"hey-hey."
Chen Xuan smiled, apologized, and then started eating again.
"By the way, Himura, you'll take Xiaochen to the mission location tomorrow."
Himura Ori stopped eating and looked at Karin with some confusion, but nodded nonetheless.
"Alright, Xiao Chen, you should follow Fei Cun closely tomorrow."
"Oh, I see."
After dinner, Gelin let Luo Chen go upstairs first, and then gathered the team members in the staff lounge on the first floor.
"Sister Gelin, I still don't understand why Luo Chen is involved in this mission?"
Leah leaned back on the sofa, tossed the documents she had already flipped through several times back onto the table, and asked Gloria.
“I’m not entirely sure of the specific reasons either.” Golin shook her head and continued, “However, I heard from Lord Kiyono that it seems to be the bishop’s idea.”
"Your Excellency the Bishop?"
Himura Ori leaned against the door, clutching her sword, looking at the documents on the table with a puzzled expression: "I really don't know what His Holiness the Bishop is thinking. Can that little guy really participate in what's happened this time?"
"decide as things go."
Gelin sat on the sofa, looking up at the ceiling: "If things get out of control, I'll have him leave early."
Chapter 28 Unknown Forces
The next morning, Luo Chen was woken up early by Hishimura Ori. After quickly tidying himself up, Luo Chen went out with Hishimura Ori.
"Himura-neechan, where are we going?"
Walking down the street, Luo Chen looked around, as if everything was so new and exciting.
"Haven't you been to China in a long time?"
Looking at Luo Chen's appearance, Hishimura was somewhat surprised, after all, she already knew that Luo Chen was from Shenzhou.
"Actually, I've never been to China."
Luo Chen scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed: "Although my parents are both from China, my sister and I lived in the Far East when we were young."
"Didn't your parents ever bring you back?"
“That…” A hint of sadness flashed in Luo Chen’s eyes: “My mother told me that my father died when I was a little over one year old. And my mother disappeared a few years ago, so…”
Hearing Luo Chen's words, Hisumura Ori looked at him with concern and unconsciously reached out to rub his head: "I'm sorry, I brought up something that hurt you."
"It's nothing. By the way, where are we going?"
Seeing that Luo Chen had changed the subject, Hisumura no longer asked any further questions. Instead, she explained to Luo Chen, "Recently, many unknown Honkai energy reactions have appeared in Canghai City. The concentration is so high that it even reaches a quarter of that of a Herrscher. However, we found nothing when we arrived. So our mission this time is to find out what is going on with these Honkai energy reactions."
"I see, but why did you call me along?"
"do not know."
"What?"
Luo Chen looked at her in surprise. She had called him here, but he didn't know why. Was that alright?
"Don't look at me like that. The vice-captain said it was the bishop's idea."
'What does Otto mean? He doesn't know I'm carrying a Jizo-like spirit, does he?'
Luo Chen subconsciously touched the bracelet hidden in his sleeve, pondering Otto's purpose in sending him here.
"Don't overthink it. His Holiness the bishop wouldn't harm you. Just stay with me and broaden your horizons. Don't fall behind the captain; you're her brother."
'Otto won't harm me? Hard to say.'
Thinking this to himself, Luo Chen replied aloud, "Okay, let's hurry up and go, Sister Hisumura."
……
Luo Chen followed Hishimura Ori to the foot of an abandoned building in the middle of nowhere. Sensing the Honkai energy emanating from inside, he subconsciously frowned.
"What did you sense?"
Seeing Luo Chen's actions, Hishimura asked a question. But Luo Chen said nothing and stood there quietly.
A moment later, Luo Chen raised his head and looked up at the dozen or so floors of the building, muttering to himself, "Impossible, the fluctuations of this Honkai energy seem to be those of the Herrscher."
"What did you say!"
Hisumura grabbed Luo Chen's shoulder and said nervously, "You just mentioned Herrscher!"
“Hmm.” Luo Chen nodded, looking at her seriously: “I have met several Herrschers, and the fluctuations on this are similar to theirs. So I guess we have encountered a pseudo-Herrscher.”
"Something's not right." Luo Chen sensed that the Honkai energy had weakened again and changed, which surprised him: "This doesn't seem to be a Herrscher."
"what exactly is it?"
Hearing Luo Chen's words, Hishimura Ori felt relieved. Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. If it really was a pseudo-Herrscher, then Canghai City should be in ruins right now.
"I don't know, why don't we go up and take a look first?"
"it is good."
Himura Ori placed the guitar case on the ground, opened it, took out the two knives inside, and tossed one of them to Luo Chen.
"Follow."
After entering the building, Luo Chen slowly followed behind Hishimura Ori, silently sensing the strange Honkai energy.
After the two reached the corresponding floor, Hisumura Ori raised her hand to signal Luo Chen to stop, while she leaned against a wall to observe the situation inside.
"Guests from afar, there is no need to be wary."
A voice came from inside, startling the two, but they remained rooted to the spot.
"You two can rest assured, I have not set a trap here. Would you please come to me from the shadows and have a talk?"
'That tone...it sounds so familiar.'
Luo Chen drew his sword and looked at Hishimura Ori.
After thinking for a moment, Hisumura Ori said softly to Luo Chen, "I'll go take a look. You stay where you are."
Just as Hishimura Ori was about to walk out, Luo Chen stopped her.
"I have a way to escape, let me do it."
Himura Ori started to retort, but Luo Chen leaned close to her ear and whispered, "By the way, Himura-neechan knows about my Honkai energy, right?"
Himura Ori was taken aback, then understood what he meant: "Lady Durandal told us. But it's still too dangerous for you to go, and we don't know their situation yet."
"What's there to be afraid of!" Luo Chen waved his hand: "At worst, I'll use my ethereal ability to run back."
"Alright then, be careful yourself." Seeing that Luo Chen was determined, Hishimura had no choice but to agree.
"I'm leaving."
As soon as Luo Chen stepped out, all the lights on the floor suddenly turned on, blinding him so much that he had to shield his eyes with his hands.
After regaining his sight, Luo Chen saw a man in a black trench coat standing not far away, and his expression turned serious.
