I have no regrets about my 2D world!

The reason why I didn't come to find him directly was because I was worried that the last thing was announced by Otto, so I guessed that he might be arranging something and couldn't be disturbed.

So she forced herself not to get a good rest for two days, and only now did she forget to look for Theresa based on the locator because she was busy. What was the result?

Theresa is actually reading comics in the office!

Ji Zi couldn't accept this. I'm working hard outside to clean up your mess, but you're enjoying yourself here.

If she is not given additional wages for these two days' extra work today, she will stay here and not leave.

Don’t even think about reading comics!

"How are you thinking about it, Theresa? I've already told you that if I can't..."

"sure."

Ji Zi suddenly stopped and looked at Theresa with some surprise. She must have heard it wrong. Theresa actually agreed to this matter without hesitation.

"Are you asking Bishop Otto for help again?"

"What do you mean by 'again'? No, how did you know about this?" Theresa slammed the table and stood up.

She had never told anyone about asking Otto to solve the financial problem, so why did Jizi look like she had known about it for a long time?

"You're talking about this, isn't this something everyone knows?

Whenever you run out of money, you say you have a way to solve it, and then after a while, Tianming headquarters will send you some money. If it happens once or twice, it's fine, as if you've completed a Tianming mission or something like that. But for so many years, Tianming has always sent money, so if you can't see it, then there's a problem."

This is where the problem lies!

Theresa sat back in her chair unwillingly. She really didn't think of covering up the remittance record because she thought that since it was transferred from Tianming, no one would question the problem. But it turned out that there was an oversight here.

But it doesn't matter, because these 'rumors' will be debunked soon.

"I have indeed been in contact with Grandpa, but it's not the kind you mentioned. I won't go into the reasons before, but this time I made a deal with Grandpa in exchange for the funds."

At this moment, Theresa smiled with great confidence, as if she wanted to clear her name.

"A few special students, young ones, will be assigned to Saint Freya. Considering their expenses, Grandpa allocated some funds. My... no, our mission is to take good care of those children."

"So you're here to take care of the kids, no wonder."

With Theresa's 'evidence', Ji Zi also understood what was going on. Children do need to spend more money.

What puzzled her was why the usually smart bishop actually let Theresa take care of the child. Could it be that he saw that Theresa was very good at getting along with children?

"Alright, since you're willing to give me a raise, forget about it for the next two days. But you should also go out and show yourself, otherwise those students will probably come looking for you soon."

In a sense, Theresa is still very popular among students. As long as they are not too lazy, they are generally happy to do what she tells them to do.

But she didn't know whether those people simply wanted to help or had other intentions towards Theresa. After all, she had seen Theresa being touched like a pet in a corner of the academy more than once.

"I know, I know. I haven't spoken to you for just two days. Why are you so anxious?" Theresa waved her hand and picked up the comic book on the table again.

Anyway, Ji Zi already knew that she was reading comics, so she naturally had no sense of shame in front of Ji Zi.

"I'm just here to inform them, and I won't care if they come looking for me."

After all, this was done by Theresa herself, so the aftermath naturally had to be left to her.

"Yeah, I understand." Theresa replied perfunctorily, her eyes fixed on the comics.

Seeing this, Ji Zi said no more and stood up to leave. She still had a few days of vacation left.

But when he reached the door, he suddenly thought of something, stopped and turned around.

"By the way, what are you going to do with Bai? We saw him coming on the surveillance camera."

"He's only coming for a few days and will be gone. Don't worry about him." Theresa responded without raising her head, and even lowered her head a little, so that Ji Zi, who walked to the door, could no longer see Theresa's face.

"Have you already talked?"

"Yeah, we talked about it."

"Okay then, in that case I won't bother with it anymore. I can finally have a good rest for a few days~." Ji Zi stretched lazily as she walked out of the office.

Only after the footsteps outside the door completely disappeared did Theresa put down the comic book, but her eyes were a little vague.

Two days ago, the three of them discussed the arrangements for the children from the orphanage in this office. They talked until the evening. After that, she thought nothing was wrong and slept peacefully.

As a result, she was woken up by Otto's call the next morning with a confused look on her face. She thought something important happened, but Otto actually talked to her about her life plan.

This was the first time in forty-two years that Otto had spoken to her about this sort of thing, and for a moment she did not understand what Otto was trying to do. But soon after hearing Karen's voice from Otto's side, she understood instantly.

Is she...being forced to get married?

This was her first time meeting this Grandma Karen. She hadn't even finished her own business yet, and yet she was already rushing her? And she had Otto do it.

After understanding the situation, she didn't care about it at all and immediately wanted to act cute and coquettish to get away with it, because she knew Otto would fall for her tricks, and it was indeed true.

Seeing her reluctance, Otto hesitated for a moment, then replaced her with Kallen.

I don't know where Grandma Karen learned this from, but she analyzed her age, qualifications, future and so on, and told her that she should think about it, and it was useless to act coquettishly.

She instantly wilted, because she couldn't refute Kallen's words in any way, and Kallen was her nominal elder, so she couldn't refute it even if she wanted to.

Then there was a discussion on the other end of the communication, which seemed to be really helping her analyze the matter. She didn't hear clearly what was discussed, but she only knew that when Otto hung up the phone, he told her to get along well with Bai.

what the hell!

She and that guy had only met twice in total. Could it be that the scene after the sports meet was taken as a sign of their intimacy?

Did she want that? She couldn't get away at all!

As for why she didn't ask Bai to let her go in front of Otto and Kallen, she could only say that it would make her look very embarrassed.

As a result, now I can only bear the bitter consequences of my own actions.

Although it was quite comfortable to sit on Bai's legs at that time and she felt warm, she was forced to do it, forced!

She only started to enjoy it when she couldn't break free anymore.

What's more, even if she wanted to have more contact with him, there was no way. Bai was mysterious all day long and could not be found at all. If she hadn't come here because of the invitation for this sports meeting, she didn't know when they would meet next time.

But since her grandparents have already spoken, it wouldn't be good for her to disobey them.

I thought about this all day yesterday, but still couldn't figure it out.

There's absolutely no reason to contact him.

"Oh, forget it. If it really doesn't work, I'll just invite them in advance next time we have an event." Theresa muttered to herself and picked up the comic book to read again.

Anyway, she is the first one to know about anything. If Bai sends the invitation first, he will look for her first if he comes... I think.

Chapter 62: End of the matter and return

While Theresa continued to slack off, Bai was also preparing to finish the work.

I originally came here for the sports meet and to take care of some small matters. Now that the sports meet is over and the things are basically done, it's time to go back after being out for a few days.

"So do you have any questions? I'll answer them all for you."

Because he had told a few people in advance that he was leaving, they gathered together to barely see them off, but the scene felt a bit weird to Bai.

It's not like he's leaving for good, and he can still be in touch anytime, so is there a need for such a farewell party? It makes him feel embarrassed to leave now.

As for the people opposite, they seemed to have problems, but they seemed a little embarrassed to say them.

To be honest, nothing special seems to have happened between them. He only saved Mei once and helped Bronya find Seele. He doesn't even have a big relationship with Kiana at the moment. There shouldn't be anything that these people can't say in front of everyone, right?

Seeing that the situation seemed a bit awkward, Bai got up and went to the refrigerator to get some drinks, which also gave them some time to think.

When they came back with the drinks, Kiana happily took them and started drinking them. Mei and the others said thank you, but didn't touch them after taking them.

After a little hesitation, Mei finally started the conversation.

"Bai, how long do you plan to be gone this time?"

"I don't know either. At least, I probably won't come here unless there's something going on."

Although the topic seemed a little inappropriate, it generally eased the awkward atmosphere.

He himself appeared in the previous civilization, so naturally the previous civilization was the main one. Contacting these people in the later civilization was just an experiment to set up a chat group, but the effect of the experiment did not seem to be very good.

People who can contact each other in real life rarely use the group chat function. The only one that is used frequently is because Bronya cannot contact Seele.

So he has decided to find some people who cannot meet each other in real life to conduct experiments next time. As for now, this group chat will be used as a simple communication tool.

"Is it because it's far from here that it's troublesome to come here?" Mei was a little confused.

Because with the current level of technology, even traveling around the earth would not take more than a few days, and if we use transportation made with Honkai energy, it might be completed in a day, so distance should not be an obstacle.

"It's quite far. At least with the current level of technology, it's impossible to find where I live in a short time."

Even the highly advanced technology of the previous civilization could not develop weapons to interfere with time, let alone the destiny that now relies on "archaeology" to develop the previous civilization.

However, Mei was not aware of this problem, she just noticed the words "short time".

Not being able to find it in a short period of time means that it can be found but it will be very troublesome. If current technology is unable to do anything about it, then she should be able to speed up the development of technology with her ability as a Herrscher.

"Then can't a space channel be built between the two? Just like your sudden appearance."

Mei suddenly thought of a question. With Bai's ability to appear and disappear at will and ignore defense to go anywhere, it should be a spatial ability, just like the Second Herrscher seen in the book.

If the Second Ruler can open up a space channel, then there's no reason why he can't open up a space channel, right?

"Unfortunately, no, the place I'm in can't be reached by space alone." Bai shook his head.

He could do it, but there was no need to. What he had done was already enough to disrupt time and space. If he opened a door that had existed for a long time, it would be a bit impolite, considering that he was still in someone else's house.

As for the humans in this world, it is impossible for them to have that kind of technology at present.

Although Otto has now developed a technology called the Space-Time Fracture System, it only uses the core of the Herrscher of the Void. Even if it can temporarily slow down the flow of time in a certain area, it is impossible to pause, reverse or accelerate time, let alone travel back to the past.

If a person reaches the later stage of the Ruler of Law and has completely analyzed the imaginary energy, it is possible for him to break away from this leaf and go to other timelines, but that is all. It does not mean that he can control time.

At least in his opinion, without defeating the Herrscher of the End and obtaining its core, it is impossible for existing human technology to develop the ability to interfere with time.

"Is that so..." Meiyi was a little disappointed, but she quickly cheered up, "It's okay, we can still keep in touch anytime. I'll let you know if there are any activities in the future."

"Okay, I'll definitely come and show my support when I have time."

As for activities, there is usually a happy and lively atmosphere. He usually stays at home and it is quiet enough, so it is nice to have some fun occasionally.

As for whether I will have time by then, well... I should have time...

After getting the answer she wanted, Mei felt much happier. She then talked to Bai about what happened in Saint Freya during this period. Kiana and Bronya also joined in.

It was not until after dinner here that Kiana and Mei returned to their own residence, while Bronya stayed temporarily because Seele lived here.

After helping to clean up, Bronya planned to go back to the room with Seele to continue their night talk, but Bai suddenly stayed behind.

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you something."

Is there anything else you want to talk to them about privately?

Bronya and Seele were confused but didn't interrupt Shiro.

"The children from your orphanage will be sent to Saint Freya in a while. You can take care of them then. As for Cocolia, she's currently imprisoned in Tianming Prison. You can ask her questions or simply visit her, but you can't release her."

"Cocolia's mother! Why..." Xier took a step forward and looked at Bai in surprise.

"Well, the fact that she caused the Third Honkai Impact alone, which would have directly caused the deaths of at least a million people without my involvement, is enough to sentence her to death for crimes against humanity. Not to mention that she also installed a chip in Bronya's brain that allows her to forcibly control Bronya at any time if she wants. For these two reasons alone, I think it's merciful to keep her in prison and not let her out.

But don't worry, I have removed the chip in Bronya's brain. Just a quick confirmation will be enough. As for the truth of the matter, you can go and confront Cocolia. You can even ask Otto for the records of what Cocolia did in the past. He will not refuse you.

If you still insist on releasing Cocolia after learning the details, then I can only say that it is best not to let me see her touch anything related to Honkai energy.

Well, that's all, I should be leaving now."

The fact that he could do this was because of the friendship they had in the past and during this period. If he hadn't known the two of them from the beginning, by the time he met Cocolia and knew what she had done, Cocolia would probably no longer exist.

Shaking his head slightly, Bai stopped thinking about it. Anyway, he had told them everything in detail, so it was up to them to decide.

He raised his hand slightly and wanted to go back, but suddenly paused.

"By the way, you can tell Kiana that if she has any strange dreams in the future, such as someone wanting to replace her in the dream, you can ask her to contact me and I will give her a surprise."

As the words fell, Bai's figure gradually dissipated. Just before completely disappearing, Bronya suddenly said, "Thank you."

Then the disappearing figure seemed to pause for a moment, and a chuckle seemed to be heard in the air.

The bright moon hung in the sky, and a figure was lying on the balcony on the second floor.

Feeling that Bai's aura below had completely dissipated, Xier gently closed her eyes.

"Tsk, there's quite a lot of attention..."
