"Headmaster, what do you think about the fact that you always seem to suffer a defeat every time you appear?"
"Uh... hahaha." Theresa just laughed awkwardly, while mentally making a mental note of Yaqing's name.
Chapter 164 The smile won't disappear, it will only shift.
Rita leaped down, components floating on her outstretched palm. She pointed the gray snake's eyes at the humanoid machine and whispered, "Rita Losweiser, take over the highest privileges. I command you to upload the logs."
"...then self-destruct."
After doing all this and getting what she needed, Rita didn't linger or make things difficult for Bronya and Theresa; instead, she left immediately.
After Rita left, Theresa and Bronya surrounded the humanoid machine. Unexpectedly, the humanoid machine, which had been given the self-destruct order, slowly woke up, but no longer recognized them.
It turns out Rita had just ordered not self-destruction, but formatting.
"At least Aunt Flo was tied up by the mechs, but Bronya, what were you doing? You just stood by and watched Rita destroy the only clue without doing anything." Kiana's inner turmoil was palpable.
"Idiot Kiana, if I stop it, how will the plot progress?" Bronya replied irritably.
“That’s right, that’s right, Bronya definitely didn’t mean to stay out of it! It’s just…” Rosalia stood up to support Bronya, but got stuck when she was trying to come up with an excuse.
Seeing that Rosalia was speechless, Lilia stepped forward and said, "Bronya is probably frozen in place because of the aftereffects of burning out her brain control chip!"
Bronya, who was relieved to see the Arlene sisters stand up for her, froze with a smile when she heard these words.
"Hahahahaha."
The smile didn't disappear; it simply moved from Bronya's face to Kiana's.
Lilia scratched her head. "Rosalia, did I say something wrong?"
“No! Lilia, you’re absolutely right!” Rosalia said earnestly.
Kiana laughed even louder.
Seele covered her face.
Bronya wished she could shrink into their arms to avoid knowing them.
[On a skybridge in Sky City, Rita is leaning against the railing, giving a work report to Otto.]
She didn't tell Otto whether she had destroyed the humanoid machine, but through her actions, she made Otto believe that the humanoid machine had been destroyed.
"As long as the mission requires it, I will eliminate any obstacle that stands in my way."
"Well said," Otto applauded approvingly.
After the call ended, the camera zoomed in from a distance, pausing on Rita's stunning profile.
"Humans have two hands..."
"One to be taken away—"
"One... is used to give."
“Rita, I just can’t figure out her role. If you say she’s a good person, she doesn’t seem like one; if you say she’s a bad person, she does good things. She seems to be somewhere between black and white, and her actions are unpredictable.” May leaned on Kevin’s shoulder.
"But she's following Otto's orders to track Kiana, isn't she?"
In response to Kevin's question, May offered an explanation.
"That's what Valkyries do, unlike our God-like perspective. One is the leader of humanity, and the other is the Herrscher who caused the Great Collapse. In the eyes of the Valkyries of Schicksal, Kiana, who became the Herrscher, is the villain."
“But…” Kevin knew that what May said was true, and he wanted to refute it but had no way to refute it.
“Kevin, Honkai Impact isn’t all black and white. Even the villains, like Otto, from his perspective…” Su paused for a moment, “I don’t agree with his actions, but he was indeed trying to revive his lover.”
On the bridge of the Hyperion, far from Sky City.
Theresa and her team brought back the formatted humanoid machine and told Einstein and Tesla what had happened. Upon hearing that it was Rita, Tesla, who had been persecuted by Rita, immediately flew into a rage.
Einstein examined the humanoid machine, attempting to recover data to find clues about Kiana, while Theresa remembered seeing information about the World Serpent in Schicksal's archives.
"This is just a secret organization that specializes in manufacturing all sorts of bizarre Honkai energy weapons. They have rarely been active in the open over the years."
Tesla also shared Anti-Entropy's news about the World Serpent.
"There are rumors that the 'World Serpent' has been conducting various human experiments. They claim that humanity has stopped evolving for too long and want to bring about a completely new change so that humans and the Honkai can coexist."
Tesla glanced at the still-dormant humanoid machine and sighed, "Sigh... Seeing this child, I'm starting to believe that all of this isn't just a rumor."
Upon hearing this, Pado cowered behind Qianjie.
They talk about evolution all the time and can even conduct scientific experiments. There really is someone like that around them. Their gaze then turned to Möbius, who looked speechless.
"Enough."
"After Otto and Cocolia, is Mebius going to become a villain too? It seems the prerequisite for becoming a villain is being someone in a high position in reality," Mebius joked.
"Grandma Mebius, is she a villain?" Little Gretchen thought for a moment, then pointed to her lower lip. "Kosmo said that villains must perish and justice must prevail!"
Kosmo covered his face.
Einstein made a brief joke about Tesla's Tunguska event, then presented Theresa with the Hyperion processor. Theresa blushed and revealed the code: TERITERI.
Just as the processor was being connected to the humanoid machine's brain, a notification suddenly appeared that there was an encrypted signal attempting to communicate.
After Einstein granted permission to communicate, the villain from the second film, Cocolia, appeared.
"Long time no see, Doctor."
After greeting Einstein, Cocolia was relieved to know that Bronya was alright.
However, Bronya did not give Cocolia a friendly look, lowering her head with a gloomy look in her eyes and remaining silent.
Cocolia didn't seem surprised by Bronya's reaction, and instead looked directly at everyone to explain her purpose.
Anti-Entropy's resources are inferior to Schicksal's, and it is even slower than Schicksal in searching for the Herrscher of the Void. Therefore, she hopes to temporarily suspend the search for Kiana and shift her focus to Kiana.
During this period, Schicksal frequently attacked his troops. Cocolia guessed that the enemy's target was the Wind Core, which they wanted to seize to restore the Herrscher of the Void to her prime.
Cocolia hopes that everyone can help her transfer the gems, so that Otto's ambition puzzle will always be incomplete.
The coordinates are: Haiyuan City.
Cocolia's voice suddenly sounded like a faulty connection, intermittently crackling with static, as if an unknown signal had been connected to the Hyperion's channel.
A gray snake suddenly appeared on the screen.
"Excuse me, everyone, let's continue the unfinished transactions in Sky Dome City?"
Chapter 165 Ya Qing: Are these two people not normal?
"I knew it, how could the character voiced by Teacher Yaqing be written out of the show so quickly?"
On the other side of the ocean, Wendy lay sprawled on the sofa, her high heels dangling precariously from her feet, while her elegantly dressed Ai Yi sat beside her.
"The gray snake is definitely dead, but who said there was only one gray snake?"
Upon hearing this, Wendy sat up and asked curiously, "You mean Grey Serpent is a robot, and a mass-produced one at that?"
"That's just someone's premonition!" Ai blinked.
“That makes sense. After all, your name is the name of the warship, so it’s normal for you to be so attached to the robot.” Wendy, as expected of Theresa’s direct disciple, had a wise look in her eyes, a trait passed down through generations.
"You're so annoying!"
"Don't do this stupid thing, why does an old woman have to act like a virgin?" Wendy said, speechless.
He's efficient and decisive at work, but he's a complete goofball in private. I really don't know how the headmaster and Teacher Yaqing came to know such an eccentric person.
Theresa in the Far East and Achille in Central Europe sneezed at the same time.
“It must be that wretched Kevin cursing me!” said Yaqing Shaniat.
Durandal watched the gray snake reappear on the screen and exclaimed, "Amazing! It was slashed so many times by Rita, yet it's still alive and acting like nothing happened."
As someone who practices martial arts, Li Sushang chimed in, "That's right. If a normal person were slashed that many times, they would have died long ago. Gray Snake truly lives up to the reputation of being voiced by Yaqing."
Ya Qing looked at the two of them strangely.
After saying all that, haven't you ever considered that he might not be a normal person at all?
Yaqing really wanted to complain, but she didn't know how.
The reappearance of the gray snake left Theresa and her companions in disbelief. They had clearly seen the corpse with their own eyes, yet the gray snake uttered the words, "Snakes are creatures that do not submit to death."
Gray Serpent came here to show that the transaction was already completed when Theresa took the humanoid machine without permission; however, Theresa and her team failed to protect the intelligence, and this had nothing to do with him.
"As payment, I will now take what I want from you."
Just as Gray Serpent cut off communication, Einstein discovered that the other side was trying to control Hyperion with a humanoid machine. All functional areas were locked down, and an emergency landing was initiated.
