Kiana, do you understand what filial piety is?

Should you deceive yourself before you deceive others?

"Is this guy trying to use me as a shield?" she said coldly, her eyes full of vigilance.

Yu Zhe shook his head, his smile still playful. "How could that be? After all, you are my loyal companion. I don't want you to encounter any danger."

"Would anyone use the word 'loyal' to describe their companions?" Cocolia sneered.

This word should be used more for subordinates.

Yu Zhe simply smiled faintly. "The word 'loyalty' is indeed not often used to describe companions, but it is not a bad word to use to describe our relationship."

Cocolia snorted, her eyes growing even colder. "Don't be ridiculous, Yuzhe. How can there be any loyalty between you and me? You're just using me."

She said bluntly, her tone full of dissatisfaction and anger.

Yu Zhe shrugged, his smile still etched. "Utilize? That's too strong a word. We're partners, pursuing the same goal. Aren't you willing to cooperate with me solely for the power of the Herrscher?"

At least in the pursuit of power, they share the same goal.

However, Cocolia's guess was indeed correct. Yu Zhe did not tell Cocolia the real plan. The plan he mentioned was just to guide Cocolia's next action.

The reason why Yu Zhe did this was very simple. The first reason was Bronya’s psychological problem.

Anyone who has watched Honkai Impact 3rd knows that Cocolia appears in almost every trial that Bronya goes through to inherit the power of the Herrscher of Reason.

Or perhaps Cocolia is Bronya's main psychological problem.

Only by truly solving Cocolia's problem can Bronya truly have the possibility of inheriting the power of the Herrscher of Reason.

If the spiritual deficiency cannot be made up, the power of the Ruler of Reason will be enough to awaken the darkness of human nature and make Bronya a slave to Honkai.

The second reason is that Yu Zhe does not believe in Cocolia, even though Yu Zhe now has the means to control Cocolia.

But who knows if Cocolia, the legendary civil war king, will stab him in the back.

Yu Zhe doesn't want this to happen to him.

After all, nothing is absolute in this world. Only by being fully prepared can we deal with all possible accidents.

Yu Zhe said, "But this is the plan. You can only accept it. You don't have any right to refuse."

Cocolia looked at Yu Zhe coldly, with a cold glint in her eyes, "It's up to you."

After all, she has no right to resist now.

Moreover, Kokolia doesn't care about the lives of those people. It makes no difference to Kokolia whether 100 million or 1000 million people die.

As long as you get benefits in the end, that's enough.

But this doesn't mean that Cocolia is willing to be a dog, especially a dog that looks like it has a hard time doing the job.

"But I've already made it clear that if anything goes wrong, you can't blame me. After all, he's the Ruler of Reason."

Although Cocolia is arrogant, she is not stupid.

She knew very well that she was no match for Walter, otherwise she would not have shown her fangs and created a clone of Walter after Walter disappeared.

With Cocolia's current strength, she could not defeat Walter at all, even with the help of the World Snake.

And Cocolia also felt that Yu Zhe could not defeat Walter, otherwise Yu Zhe would not have spent so much effort to do so much.

If Yu Zhe had the power, why didn't he just take away Walter's power directly, but instead designed for Bronya to inherit the power of the Herrscher of Reason?

Yu Zhe said: "It's okay~ As an ordinary person, you have done very well, Cocolia~"

After all, Yu Zhe never expected Cocolia to take on such a big responsibility.

As long as Cocolia can be used to complete Bronya's mind, the rest will be easy.

Cocolia gave him a cold look, turned around and prepared to leave: "So this is the end of today's meeting? I have to leave first." Her tone was full of impatience.

She was afraid that if she stayed any longer she would really not be able to help but beat Yu Zhe.

Yu Zhe didn't try to stop her. He just smiled and said, "Then, Wendy, take Cocolia to rest. She's worked hard today."

"Yes." Wendy stood up and looked at Cocolia. "Cocolia, come with me."

Cocolia snorted coldly, without saying anything else, turned around and followed Wendy out of the meeting room.

Yu Zhe watched Cocolia leave, "The plan has taken the first step towards success. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I will definitely achieve my goal."

"But it's time to go find Lei Dian Long Ma. I wonder if they've finished their discussion yet?"

Having said that, Yu Zhe also turned around and left the meeting room.

81 Longma: I will teach Meiyi well

Soon, Yu Zhe found Lei Dian Longma on the tree-lined path outside the kendo hall.

At this moment, she had just walked out of the heavy wooden door of the kendo hall, and her figure continued to lengthen under the setting sun in the afternoon.

Yu Zhe quickened his pace and walked over with a gentle smile on his face, "Longma, how was the communication with Raiden Mei going?" Yu Zhe's voice was brisk, with a bit of curiosity and anticipation.

Upon hearing this, Lei Dian Long Ma stopped and turned around. She took off the adorable Hom doll costume headgear, revealing a face flushed from intense exercise.

A few strands of wet hair stuck to her forehead, adding a bit of playfulness and cuteness to her.

"Not bad..." Raiden Longma said softly, a breath in her voice, but also revealed her satisfaction with this exchange, "I tested Mei's swordsmanship. She hasn't regressed in the past few years, but has made a lot of progress."

As she spoke, she raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and the crystal sweat beads left faint water stains on the Houmu doll costume.

Seeing this, Yu Zhe reached into his pocket and pulled out a handkerchief, handing it to Lei Dian Long Ma. "You're sweating all over, wipe it off first. It must be very hot inside wearing such a thick doll costume."

Lei Dian Longma took the handkerchief, looked at Yu Zhe gratefully, and said softly, "Thank you."

Then she wiped the sweat from her cheeks and neck, "But this doll costume is really a steamer. But for Meiyi, I have no choice but to sacrifice myself."

As she spoke, she gently tugged at the sleeves of the doll costume. The thick fabric seemed to still retain the dampness and heat of sweat.

Lei Dian Longma had wanted to find someone to complain about his Homu doll costume a long time ago.

What kind of chuunibyou had she got into to think of doing this?!

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhe couldn't help but give a thumbs-up to Lei Dian Long Ma. "You are amazing for wearing this and hiding your identity to teach your daughter kendo. This kind of motherly love is truly touching."

After hearing this, Lei Dian Longma lowered her head shyly, with a blush on her cheeks.

"Yu Zhe, stop talking." She said softly, with a hint of shyness and coquettishness in her voice.

Now she felt like a girl whose history of Chuunibyou was mentioned to her face, and she felt extremely embarrassed.

Seeing this, Yu Zhe couldn't help but laugh. He patted Lei Dian Long Ma's shoulder and started the next topic, "Okay, okay, I won't say anymore. So how was your communication with Meiyi?"

This is the crux of the matter.

Lei Dian Longma was silent for a moment, a flicker of emotion and complexity in her eyes. She took a deep breath and said slowly, "Mei has really grown up. She's no longer the little girl who used to cry in my arms."

There was a hint of relief and pride in her voice, as if she was happy for her daughter's growth.

During this meeting, Raiden Ryoma did not choose to say too much to Raiden Mei, but chose to have a good fight with Raiden Mei.

But the sword has to do the talking, and this also allows Mei Raiden to vent her emotions.

Because Raiden Ronma knew very well that what she had been experiencing in the past few days was extremely stressful for Raiden Mei. Even if she pretended not to care about the pressure in her heart, it would not continue to accumulate.

Even if Raiden Longma came to Raiden Mei as the Sword Saint of Houmu.

Facing this master who has disappeared for several years, can Mei Raiden really tell her everything in her heart when they meet again?

This is obviously impossible.

"I can feel Mei's desire to become stronger, but that alone is not enough." As Mei Raiden's father and her master, Raiden Ryoma is undoubtedly the person who knows Mei Raiden best in the world.

"Mei still has a lot of thoughts hidden in her heart that are hindering her progress."

She could see that her daughter was pretending to be strong, and deep in Mei's heart there was still fear and bottomless darkness.

Raiden Ryoma was worried that Raiden Mei would be swallowed up by the darkness and unable to extricate herself.

Hearing this, Yu Zhe nodded, "You did the right thing. Sometimes, actions speak louder than words. Besides, Mei also needs an outlet to release her stress. Moreover, I know Mei's situation very well."

After all, the psychological problems of the three Honkai Impact 3rd families are more serious than each other.

Bronya was a young soldier when she was young, and lost her emotions because of the X-10 experiment when she grew up, so the impact of her psychological problems may be less.

But Kiana and Raiden Mei are both problem children, and they are the kind of people who could explode if not handled properly.

For example, Kiana once chose to commit suicide when she was in Sky City. If Fu Hua had not stopped her at that time, the plot of Honkai Impact 3rd might have ended there.

Mei Raiden has the characteristic middle school syndrome of the Far Eastern people.

What I am willing to fall into darkness in exchange for you returning to the light, what you are more important than the whole world...

It’s normal to think about it, after all, Mei Raiden was just a high school student at that time.

It is normal to suffer from chuunibyou during adolescence.

"But at least Mei is developing in a positive direction, isn't she?" Yu Zhe comforted Raiden Longma, "And this is also something that Raiden Mei must go through. When you implanted the Conquest Gem... no, her fate was already determined when Mei was born as your daughter."

It was destined that Mei Raiden would come into contact with Honkai.

Fortunately, this is the world of Honkai Impact 3rd. If it was the next door Honkai Impact 2nd, it would be pure fate, and Mei Raiden's experience would only be more tragic.

After all, even if all members are wiped out, it can be considered a family ending.

There are characters with names and surnames. If you don’t die once, you’d be embarrassed to say that you have been to Honkai Impact 3rd.

For example, it is very impressive that Himeko Murata only died once in the story of Honkai Impact 3rd.

But in Honkai Impact 3rd, he died once in Era Zero, once in the first round, and once again in Candle Moth, making him a legendary king of endurance.

There are even many people who have similar experiences, and more importantly, they haven’t done any sit-ups yet!

Lei Dian Longma's eyes dimmed after hearing Yu Zhe's words, "You are right."

If Mei Raiden was not her daughter, she might be happier.

At least it won't be such an outrageous thing that the person you like is taken away by your father who has become your mother.

Yu Zhe said, "But Longma, I believe in you. With you by her side supporting and encouraging her, she will definitely be braver."

No matter what time, parents are the greatest safe haven for their children.

Lei Dian Long Ma felt a surge of warmth in her heart after hearing Yu Zhe's words. She raised her head, looked at Yu Zhe gratefully, and said softly, "Thank you, Yu Zhe. I will teach Mei Yi well."

82 We still don’t know where the black box from 500 years ago is

A few days later, Yu Zhe sat on the swivel chair in the study, his eyes fixed on the map of Changkong City unfolded on the computer screen, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking deeply about something.

The room was silent, with only the gentle hum of the computer fan and the occasional sound of swallowing saliva adding a bit of life to the silence.

A lot of things happened in the past few days. First of all, according to the reliable information from "Seele", Bronya has left Changkong City in order to better control the huge force left by Cocolia.

With the help of Wendy, Cocolia became familiar with the power given to her by Yu Zhe at an astonishing speed, and then resolutely left the city.

Raiden Longma continued to teach Raiden Mei as the Sword Saint of Houmu, not only swordsmanship but also management knowledge.

She hopes that Mei Raiden can become a well-rounded strong person.

As for Siegfried...

Yu Zhe's gaze unconsciously slid to the bottom of the table, where Siegfried was kneeling on the ground, busy sorting some documents with his hands.

"Hmm?" Siegfried seemed to notice Yu Zhe's gaze. He stopped what he was doing and looked up at Yu Zhe, a puzzled glint in his eyes. "What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?"

"Nothing." Yu Zhe shook his head. "You did a good job. It's just... I was thinking about something."

"Oh..." Siegfried responded softly, then lowered his head and continued with the work in his hands.

But her movements were obviously gentler than before, as if she was afraid of disturbing Yu Zhe's thoughts.

Her long hair fell gently, covering half of her face, revealing only her focused and serious eyes.

Ever since she had completely understood her own heart, and coupled with the vague "threat" from Lei Dian Long Ma, she had almost transformed into the "juice squeezer" beside Yu Zhe these days, wishing she could stick to him 24 hours a day, using this method to declare her sovereignty, and then make Yu Zhe unable to look for Lei Dian Long Ma again.

It’s a pity that the idea is good, but the reality is cruel.

Want to drain a succubus dry? This is no joke.

Yu Zhe's unfathomable strength and the unique physique of a succubus have repeatedly frustrated Siegfried's "little tricks", but she never gets tired of it.

Maybe it was because of his age, or maybe Siegfried was too lonely in the decade or so since Cecilia's death (thick fog).

But let’s not talk about these trivial things for now.
