My outrageous life in Honkai Impact 3

Chapter 87 The person behind the scenes

Luo Chen was somewhat surprised; he searched for a long time near Binglu's heart but couldn't find the core. Unconvinced, he went to Yanlu's corpse, but still couldn't sense the core's presence.

"That's strange, wasn't there a core before?"

Luo Chen casually burned the two corpses and stood in the ruins, pondering what had happened.

"wrong!"

Luo Chen frowned, recalling the settings he had read about pseudo-Herrschers in his previous life. Normally, pseudo-Herrschers do not have cores, but Yuno and the pseudo-Herrscher he killed last time both had cores, which was puzzling.

"Logically speaking, pseudo-Herrschers shouldn't be able to form a core, so why does Yuno have one?"

Luo Chen was puzzled. Recalling the scene when Yuno first became a Herrscher, he discovered the loophole and couldn't help but feel a sense of dread.

"Wait a minute! Mei hadn't even become a Herrscher yet, so how did Yuno get there before her? That doesn't make sense!"

Luo Chen walked to the safe area, notified the helicopter to pick him up, and decided to ask him about it properly after returning to the academy.

"Is the task already completed? You're really efficient."

As soon as Luo Chen boarded the helicopter, Otto's communication came through, and he said in a surprised tone.

"Your Excellency, your acting skills need improvement; this looks really fake."

Knowing that Otto wouldn't harm him, Luo Chen's attitude towards him became less respectful, and he started thinking about how to annoy him.

"Really? Then I should study hard."

Otto still wore a fake smile, a face that sent chills down Luo Chen's spine, making him feel like Otto was about to cause trouble.

"You're confused now, not understanding why there's no core this time."

Luo Chen's face darkened. Although he didn't know how Otto knew, he was definitely being monitored, which was not a good thing.

Do you want to know the truth about this?

'really! ’

Luo Chen was not surprised at all by Otto's question. Since he chose to contact him at this time, it was definitely not for no reason.

"What are the conditions?"

"Conditions? No, no, no, what do you take me for? We're friends. What's wrong with friends helping each other?"

"It is my honor to be friends with His Excellency the Bishop."

Luo Chen flattered him, saying that they didn't know what Otto was planning yet, so they should just go along with him.

"You already know that pseudo-Herrschers don't have a core, so I won't go into details. As for Sato Yuno having another Herrscher's core, I can only tell you that it was done by someone. As for who's behind it all, you'll have to find out for yourself."

Otto hung up the phone after speaking, leaving Luo Chen deep in thought. After a long while, Luo Chen's furrowed brows finally relaxed.

"Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. If there's no one controlling her behind the scenes, how could Yuno possibly have a core?"

"But who is it? Could there be another time traveler hiding in the shadows?"

Luo Chen clenched his fists, and the thought that someone might be controlling all of this in some unknown place instantly filled him with fear.

"Looks like we need to plan ahead."

……

"Luo Chen, you're back!"

As soon as Luo Chen returned, he ran into Mei and her friends who were on their way to the cafeteria. He walked over to them and openly took Mei's hand.

"Are you going to eat now? Didn't you make lunchboxes?"

"No. I forgot to buy extra ingredients yesterday."

Mei shook her head, smiled sweetly at Luo Chen, her purple pupils sparkling, and her whole body radiating a sunny aura.

"Let's go eat, it's on me."

"Great!"

Kiana was initially somewhat displeased that Luo Chen was holding Mei's hand, but after hearing Luo Chen say he would treat her to dinner, she beamed with joy, grabbed Luo Chen's other hand, and laughed happily.

"Then let's hurry up and go, I can't wait!"

Kiana grabbed Luo Chen and ran, and Mei was pulled along as well, leaving the remaining three standing there, not having reacted yet.

"Kiana runs so fast as soon as she hears about food."

Watching the three run off into the distance, Lilith grumbled to herself, then turned to look at Yuno, who seemed completely unconcerned. Seeing that Yuno wasn't worried at all, she realized she was used to it.

In the cafeteria, Kiana had many plates in front of her, and a small mountain of empty plates next to her.

Watching Kiana devour everything in her path, Luo Chen wasn't worried at all about being eaten out of house and home by her; his salary as an A-rank martial god was more than enough to cover it.

After finishing the last plate, Kiana finally stopped eating, leaned back in her chair, chuckled, and shouted that she had thoroughly enjoyed it.

"You can really eat!"

The entire table was covered with plates. Luo Chen was particularly curious about how Kiana could eat so much and still be so thin; it was truly amazing.

"Could it be that all the nutrients have been used up to..."

Luo Chen looked at a certain part of her body. Although Kiana was wearing loose clothes, he could still see the surging evil within her.

"Chen, what are you looking at?"

Luo Chen felt a chill on his neck, and stiffly turned his head to see Mei's smile, which he found somewhat creepy.

"No, it's nothing."

Luo Chen was so frightened that he could barely speak, so he quickly changed the subject: "By the way, did Teacher Himeko say what we were going to do in the afternoon training session?"

"This is it."

Mei didn't persist in pestering him. She went along with Luo Chen's suggestion and, recalling Himeko's words from that morning, couldn't help but smile.

"Himeko-sensei tells us to practice on our own, but you'll have to practice with her."

"What's the matter?"

Luo Chen was dumbfounded, feeling that he had returned too early. He should take advantage of the fact that Ji Zi didn't know about it yet and start using Run.

"Don't even think about running away."

Mei saw through his thoughts and said with a mischievous smile, "I've already told Himeko-sensei that you're back."

"How can you be so dishonest?"

Luo Chen pinched her cheek, but couldn't think of anything harsh to say, so he just patted her head gently.

Mei closed one eye and stuck her tongue out at Luo Chen, her playful behavior causing a stir among the rest of the cafeteria staff.

"I feel like I've been fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)."

Lilith poked Yuno with her arm. As a single person, Mei and Luo Chen had already dealt her a critical hit of 10,000 points.

"You'll get used to it. I'll bring Luo Chen to show off our love in front of you from now on."

"I feel that our friendship has come to an end."

Lilith looked up at Yuno, who was beaming with delight, with a resentful expression. Just thinking about the scene Yuno described made her want to punch her.

Yuno, taking advantage of her height compared to Lilith, casually ruffled Lilith's hair, the smooth texture making her feel good.

"What are you doing! You'll stunt your growth!"

Lilith slapped Yuno's hand away and bared her teeth at her.

Will you grow taller?

Yuno deliberately provoked Lilith by using her hands to show the height difference between the two, making Lilith even more unhappy.

"What are you comparing me to? Go compare yourself to Mei! Besides, it's not like I can't grow!"

Lilith was unconvinced, convinced she could still grow taller. She looked at Mei, who was 1.73 meters tall, with longing in her eyes.

Chapter 88 Handover Between the Old and the New

After lunch break, Luo Chen followed the main group to the training ground, where Ji Zi was already waiting.

"Squad leader, take attendance. If everyone is present, then you can train freely. Luo Chen, you step forward."

Ji Zi called Luo Chen out, picked up the Xuanyuan Sword that was placed aside, and looked at him with a smile on her face.

"Himeko-neechan, is it really that bad? She's already wearing armor."

Himeko is wearing the Fusion Armor: Crimson. Now, Himeko no longer needs to worry about the harm that artificial stigmata can cause to her body, and her strength has reached a new level.

"Of course! You're my strongest opponent since I recovered, so how can I not take it seriously? Little guy, don't hold back!"

"OK then."

Luo Chen summoned his armor to deal with Himeko with all his might, believing that Himeko would definitely be able to counter his moves.

"Himeko-sensei, come on."

Luo Chen pointed his blade directly at Himeko, his entire body radiating massive Honkai energy fluctuations, which also stirred up the Honkai energy in the air, making it thicker.

"Mei, don't you feel a little uncomfortable?"

Yuno felt the environment was somewhat oppressive, the concentration of Honkai energy nearby made her feel uncomfortable, and her core seemed restless.
