"To be honest, I'm a little unsure what to do right now."
Luo Chen sighed softly, feeling somewhat lost. The last time he felt this way was when his mother went missing, but this time it was because of relationship problems.
“My consciousness tells me that I can’t let any of them down, but my reason tells me that I can’t do that, and I don’t even know what they themselves are thinking.”
"I really can't help you with that."
Kiyono Hatsuyuki sat on the ground scratching her head, an awkward smile on her face: "After all, your auntie has been single since birth and has never been in a relationship."
"Eh!"
Luo Chen sprang up from the ground with a somersault, looking at Qingye Chuxue in disbelief.
"Aunt Kiyono, you're... unbelievable!"
Kiyono Hatsuyuki glared at him angrily, making a move to choke him, but Luo Chen quickly dodged it.
"So, Auntie, you really haven't dated anyone?"
"That's right."
Kiyono Hatsuyuki nodded, her eyes filled with a hint of resentment as she looked at Luo Chen. Luo Chen instantly sensed something and tentatively asked her, "You don't like my dad, do you?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Kiyono Hatsuyuki cursed and slapped Luo Chen's shoulder hard, her tone full of disdain: "Your dad is such a socially awkward person, he's either in the lab or the archives all day long. If it weren't for me and that idiot Siegfried, he and your mom wouldn't have gotten together."
"Uh." Luo Chen laughed, never expecting his cheap father to have such a face.
"It's a pity your father passed away early. But he did rescue many children from the Babylonian laboratory."
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen was startled, not expecting it to involve the Second Collapse. He was about to inquire further when Qingye Chuxue suddenly changed the subject, so he had no choice but to give up.
After talking to Qingye Chuxue about many things, Luo Chen's mood improved. Recalling their conversation, Luo Chen said softly, "Aunt Qingye, you don't actually like my mom, do you?"
Kiyono Hatsuyuki's face stiffened, as if her dark past had been exposed, and a blush quickly appeared on her face.
Although Luo Chen had prepared himself mentally beforehand, he still covered his face in disbelief after receiving the answer.
"This bizarre world."
Since they're called Valkyries, almost all of Schicksal's combat personnel are women, and even among the support staff, men are rarely seen. So, lilies often bloom among the Valkyries, but Luo Chen still finds it somewhat unbearable.
"I'm starting to have some doubts about Aunt Kiyono's motives for approaching us."
Seeing that Luo Chen practically had his disdain written all over his face, Qingye Chuxue was immediately furious and kept hitting his head.
"Am I that kind of person? I gave up when I was trying to match Xuan Yu with your father!"
After saying that, Kiyono Hatsuyuki looked at Luo Chen with a touch of tenderness in her eyes: "Your eyes really do look like hers, but your hair is inherited from your father."
"Auntie, are you sure you didn't attend Slytherin before?"
"What it is?"
"It's nothing, just a meme."
Luo Chen withdrew his Jizo Soul, stood up, shook his head to clear the gloom from his mind, and muttered to himself, "Whatever, I'll leave it to the future."

To celebrate the completion of the new dormitory and Himeko's full recovery, everyone held a party in the dormitory.
"Ah! Cool!"
Himeko downed a bottle of beer in one go, slumped in her chair, and marveled at the beauty of life. Theresa, seeing the beer bottle beside her, said helplessly, "Himeko, you've only just fully recovered. Don't let it get worse again."
"calm down!"
Himeko's face already showed signs of drunkenness. She waved her hand and said, "It's just that Luo Chen isn't here, otherwise I would definitely have made him drink a few bottles."
On the other side, Mei brought a plate of snacks to Fu Hua's side: "Fu Hua, thank you for coming to my rescue back then. These are some Chinese snacks I made, I hope you like them."
Mei picked up one of the pieces with her chopsticks and held it to Fu Hua's mouth.
"You're welcome. It's my duty to help a classmate in times of trouble."
Before she could finish speaking, Kiana swallowed the pastry in Mei's hand, her face beaming with happiness: "Mei's pastries are so delicious."
Kiana, what are you doing?
Kiana, one hand on her hip, looked at Fu Hua smugly: "Everything Mei made is mine, I'm not going to give it to the class president. Besides, I took care of the enemy!"
"To be precise, it was Luo Chen who solved it, and you just happened to launch the final blow."
Fu Hua mercilessly undermined Kiana, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
"I'm the one who severely injured him! And even you, class monitor, couldn't beat him back then, which means I already have S-rank strength!"
Kiana retorted defiantly, only to hear Fu Hua say the next second, "Please don't be overconfident. I remember you won back then because of that mysterious armor, right? And your attacks back then weren't necessarily able to break through Luo Chen's defenses."
For some reason, Fu Hua suddenly brought up Luo Chen, which made Kiana very unconvinced.
Just as Kiana was arguing for herself, Fu Hua suddenly received a mission notification and stood up, supporting herself on the table.
"Fu Hua, what's the mission?"
Theresa asked curiously, as it was getting late and the fact that there was a mission at this time made her rather intrigued.
“Dean, don’t worry, it’s just an investigation mission,” Fu Hua said, then looked at Mei: “I’m sorry, Mei, I can’t finish the snacks you made.”
"It's alright, I've cleaned it up!"
Kiana was talking while stuffing snacks into her mouth, completely unaware of Fu Hua's smile.
"I'm afraid you won't have a chance either, Kiana."
Fu Hua grabbed Kiana's sleeve and said, "This mission allows you to bring one trainee along, and I just chose you."
"Hey, why?"
"Think about your pitiful credits. If you complete the internship... you can make up for the missing credits."
"Besides, Luo Chen is already an A-level, and you're still not working hard enough."
After saying that, Fu Hua grabbed Kiana by the collar and started to walk out. But Kiana refused, struggling and shouting that she didn't want to be separated from Mei, and eventually pulled the door off her feet.
"Theresa, is this considered work-related damage? Is it covered by warranty?"
"I'm sorry, Himeko, we've already overspent last month's maintenance budget. Anyway, it's already spring, so how about we just install a curtain instead?"
Chapter 66 Otto's Plan
Destiny Headquarters
Amber passed through the heavy mechanical door and entered the dimly lit room, walking to the far end.
In front of a large screen, Otto watched the images with great interest, waiting for Amber to speak.
"Lord Otto."
Amber bowed and continued, "I've already sent Fu Hua to investigate the whereabouts of the gem. Entrusting it to Fu Hua shouldn't cause any problems. However..."
"Just what?"
Amber paused briefly before walking to the screen and asking, "Why did you bring her along?"
Don't you think this is a good opportunity?
Otto chuckled, stroking his chin. "It's about time we saw how far the experiment had progressed."
“Oh, right,” Otto added, “find some excuse to send Bianca and Luo Chen over there, and secretly let Luo Chen come into contact with the gem. Remember, this must be done discreetly.”
"I understand."
Amber immediately replied that in Otto's plan, everything concerning Luo Chen was placed in the highest position. Several times she raised doubts, but Otto simply brushed her off with a few casual words, so Amber had no choice but to give up.
After Amber left, Otto used the Void Treasury in his mind to connect with its Soul Steel Body.
"looking for me?"
A female voice echoed in Otto's mind, cold and seemingly devoid of emotion.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you're still getting used to your body."
"I have stored a portion of my original consciousness in your mind, you should be well aware of that."
A hint of impatience crept into Void Treasury's voice: "Just tell me what you need me for."
"Then I won't beat around the bush."
Even though there was no one around, Otto still smiled and said, "I hope you can go to Singapore."
"Where are you going and what are you doing?"
"The plan I told you about before."
After a few seconds of silence, Void Treasury agreed, "Okay, but you can't reveal my identity."
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
After Otto explained the itinerary, Void Archives cut off the communication, while Otto continued to look at the screen.
"Things are starting to get interesting."
The next day, Luo Chen received the mission notification early in the morning and rushed to the helipad, only to find Bianca already there.
"Sorry, I'm late."
