Kiana, do you understand what filial piety is?

Just as Bronya was thinking about what to do, a sweet voice suddenly came from behind her, "My dear sister Bronya~"

Bronya didn't need to turn around to know who it was—Yu Zhe, who was wearing Seele's appearance. He walked briskly to Bronya's side, leaned close to her ear, and deliberately drew out his tone: "Shouldn't we go and take a look?"

Bronya quietly moved aside to create some distance.

"Don't get so close," Bronya said coldly, her eyes still fixed on the documents. "And don't say that in Seele's voice."

"Oh, are you shy, sister?" Yu Zhe pouted in a feigned grievance, twirling nimbly, her skirt drawing a graceful arc in the air. Then, suddenly, she said seriously, "That's the Key of God." His voice suddenly became serious. "As long as we get it, we can consolidate our position in Anti-Entropy."

Although she inherited the position of Cocolia's executor, Bronya is still too young, and there are still many ignorant people who are eyeing this position.

Bronya raised her head and looked at Yu Zhe with sharp eyes. "You know what the Key of God means. This is not a joke."

There are too many people staring at that thing.

As long as you know the value of the Key of God, who wouldn't want one?

"Of course I know~" Yu Zhe tilted his head and smiled innocently, "That's why we should seize the opportunity. Think about it, if we can bring back the Key of God, how much good it will bring to us. And with this power, maybe we can even save Mom."

Yu Zhe deliberately emphasized the word "mother".

Bronya's fingers tightened slightly, the paper wrinkled in her hands, and then she took a deep breath, as if suppressing some emotion.

"Don't use that term." Her voice was even colder than before. "Besides, this matter requires long-term consideration."

Yu Zhe blinked and suddenly moved close to Bronya's face, so close that he could see his reflection in her pupils.

"What are you worried about, sister?" Yu Zhe asked softly, his tone suddenly becoming sincere. "Are you worried about my safety, or...worried that I'll mess up?"

154 Shenzhou

"Shenzhou..." Gray Snake frowned as he looked at the information passed to him by Raven. He did know that there was the Key of God in Shenzhou. After all, they had been monitoring Fu Hua's affairs, and Shenzhou was also one of the important places for the previous civilization to implement its plan.

"I didn't expect Yu Zhe to know this news." Logically, only they and a very small number of people should know the information about the Key of God.

If it was Tianming who knew about this, Gray Snake would not find it strange, after all, Fu Hua is now in a cooperative relationship with Tianming.

But how much can Fu Hua remember now?

Gray Snake's voice suddenly became low and he asked into the communicator in his hand: "What's the situation over at Fu Hua?"

The group on the communicator immediately replied, "According to your instructions, our people have been secretly monitoring her. However, she seems to be investigating something recently and is acting more cautiously than usual."

Gray Snake chuckled meaningfully: "Heh...it seems our old friend is getting restless too."

He turned and walked back to the table, his finger running over a name in the intelligence. "Yu Zhe...this person is more valuable than we thought."

The person on the other end of the communicator hesitated for a moment: "Sir, do you want me to send someone to spy on him again?"

"There's no need to alert them. Raven is already there." Gray Snake paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "How much do you think Destiny knows?"

The person on the communicator replied thoughtfully, "According to our intelligence, Bishop Otto seems to be particularly interested in certain relics in Shenzhou, but how much does he know..."

Gray Snake suddenly interrupted. "No, Otto must know more than we thought." His voice suddenly became serious. "Notify all teams in Shenzhou to increase their alert level. Also, strengthen surveillance of Fu Hua."

He felt that Otto was very likely to let Fu Hua go to Shenzhou, even though Otto's goal was not the Key of God.

A few days later, Shenzhou...

"Wow! Is this Shenzhou?" Kiana skipped along the street like an excited little rabbit, her big blue eyes sparkling with curiosity.

She kept turning her head, afraid to miss any scenery. "This is completely different from what the news said!"

Yu Zhe put his hands in his pockets and asked casually, "Oh? What does Shenzhou look like in the news?"

"Uh..." Kiana tilted her head and thought for a moment, "It's just... poor and backward, with dilapidated houses everywhere and people wearing patched clothes... but this place is obviously more prosperous than over there!"

Yu Zhe chuckled: "Miss, you don't still believe those reports, do you?"

"Eh?!" Kiana's cheeks flushed slightly. "I, I didn't believe it! It's just...it's just..."

She stammered, unable to speak, and finally stamped her feet angrily, "Hmph! I'm ignoring you!"

Looking at her, Yu Zhe couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her hair: "Okay, okay, no more jokes. How about I take you to try some authentic hot pot?"

"Hot pot?!" Kiana's eyes lit up instantly, and the grievance she had just felt vanished. She jumped up as if a switch had been flipped. "Really? The kind with the red, chili peppers floating in it?"

"yes."

"Ahhh! I want to go!" Kiana excitedly grabbed Yu Zhe's arm and shook it like a puppy begging for food, "Take me there now! I can smell the fragrance!"

Yu Zhe was dizzy from her shaking, and quickly held her shoulders: "Okay, okay, I'll take you there right away. But first, I have a word, don't let the spicy food make you cry."

Kiana immediately puffed out her chest and said proudly: "No way! I'm a master at eating spicy food!" As she said that, she showed off her muscles, which made Yu Zhe shake his head.

Is there any necessary connection between eating spicy food and muscles?

Maybe not.

"Okay, okay, you're the best." Yu Zhe smiled and rubbed her head, "But don't cry for help later."

"Hmph!" Kiana puffed up her cheeks. "Want to make a bet? If I can finish the whole pot, you have to agree to one condition of mine!"

"Oh?" Yu Zhe raised an eyebrow. "What conditions?"

Kiana winked slyly: "I haven't thought about it yet, I'll owe it to you for now~"

"Ok."

Then the two of them came to a time-honored hot pot restaurant. As soon as the red soup base was served, Kiana excitedly slapped the table: "Wow! It smells so good!" She couldn't wait to pick up a piece of tripe and put it into the pot.

"Wait!" Yu Zhe quickly stopped her, "We have to wait until the bottom of the pot boils first."

"Eh? That's so troublesome..." Kiana pouted and stared at the boiling soup base, like a kitten waiting to be fed.

Soon the pot was boiling, and it was finally time to eat. Kiana was so spicy that she stuck out her tongue: "Ha... ha... so spicy!" But she still stubbornly continued to stuff the meat into her mouth, "But... ha... so delicious!"

Yu Zhe couldn't help laughing and handed over the iced sour plum soup: "Eat slowly, no one is trying to snatch it from you."

"But it's really delicious~" Kiana mumbled with her mouth full, and suddenly picked up a piece of beef and handed it to Yu Zhe's mouth, "Ah - you try it too!"

Yu Zhe was stunned for a moment, looking at the piece of meat covered with chili oil in front of him, then looking at Kiana's expectant eyes, and opened his mouth helplessly to take it.

Kiana immediately swung her legs happily: "How is it? My hot pot meat is the best, right?"

"Yeah, it's really good." Yu Zhe nodded and wiped the chili oil from the corner of her mouth with a tissue. "But you've turned into a little cat here."

Kiana blushed and lowered her head to eat to hide her shyness: "No, no!"

Halfway through the meal, Kiana's lips were already red from the spiciness, and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, but she still refused to admit defeat, "This level of spiciness is nothing to me!"

"Yes, yes, Lady Kiana is the most amazing." Yu Zhe deliberately dragged out his words and reached out to push aside her sweat-soaked bangs. "But look, even her ears are red."

"It's not spicy! It's... the hot pot is too hot!" Kiana fanned herself with her hands in panic, but accidentally knocked over the drink cup.

Yu Zhe quickly held the cup, and their fingers touched each other accidentally. Kiana retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted, and the tips of her ears turned even redder.

Siegfried, who was watching Yu Zhe and Kiana from the dark, gnashed his teeth and said, "Damn it!"

As for Chen Tianwu, who was sitting opposite Siegfried, she just watched silently and didn't dare to speak. She didn't want to be involved in this war.

155 The Alliance Leader's Transformation and Infiltration (Thick Fog)

"But Ah Zhe, where exactly are the Nine Nether Ruins?" Kiana held her chin with both hands, her blue eyes gleaming with curiosity. She tilted her head and looked at Yu Zhe, "We can't just search everywhere like headless flies, right?"

Yu Zhe sighed softly. "To be honest, I'm troubled too. The legend of Jiuyou dates back at least five thousand years, and even the historical records are vague about it."

"Even if it really exists, I don't know whether the Nine Nether Ruins will..."

Before Yu Zhe could finish, a gentle female voice suddenly interrupted their conversation, "Excuse me."

The two looked up and saw a woman with long brown hair standing by the table. Behind her gold-rimmed glasses were a pair of smiling eyes.

Kiana blinked in surprise: "Who is this sister...?"

The woman bowed slightly: "I'm sorry to interrupt your meal. I just overheard you discussing the Jiuyou Ruins?" Her voice was soft but filled with unconcealable excitement.

Yu Zhe looked at the woman who suddenly appeared, pretending to frown, and asked in confusion: "Excuse me, who are you...?"

"Oh, excuse me." The woman pushed her glasses and took out a business card from her pocket. "I'm a researcher at the Shenzhou Archaeological Institute." The gold-plated font on the business card sparkled in the sun.

Kiana took the business card and looked at it curiously: "Amazing!"

The woman smiled shyly. "I'm just a researcher. But I do know a little about the Legend of the Nine Netherworld..." She suddenly lowered her voice. "If you two don't mind, I can provide some clues."

Yu Zhe and Kiana exchanged glances.

Kiana enthusiastically pulled out a chair next to her: "Please sit down! Would you like something to drink? I'll order it for you!"

"No need to bother." She sat down and pulled out a stack of yellowed documents from her briefcase. "These are the folk tales and geographical records about the Nine Netherworld that I've collected over the years."

She flipped open a page and pointed to the hand-drawn map. "According to my research, the ruins are likely located..."

Back to a few days ago...

The metal door of the laboratory at Anti-Entropy Headquarters slowly slid open. Yang pushed his glasses up on his nose and strode into the room.

In the laboratory, Tesla was furiously slapping the keyboard, while Einstein stood aside, staring intently at the data screen.

"Tesla, why did you ask me to come back? Is there something urgent?" Yang's voice was a little helpless, but he knew that if there was no emergency, these two people would not ask him to return to Anti-Entropy.

"Ha! You still remember to come back?" Tesla whirled around, her red twintails swaying violently with her movements. She placed her hands on her hips and glared at Yang angrily. "Our great leader has finally agreed to return to his kingdom."

Yang smiled bitterly and raised his hands in surrender: "Come on, didn't I rush back as soon as I got the news?"

"Hmph!" Tesla snorted coldly, turned around and continued typing on the keyboard.

Einstein walked forward at the right time and pushed up her glasses: "Yang, this time it's really an important matter." Her voice was as calm as ever, but Yang keenly noticed that there was an unusual light flashing in her eyes behind the lenses.

"Look! Even Chicken Coop Hair said that!" Tesla immediately turned around and pointed at Yang's nose: "You, the hands-off boss, do you know what a mess Anti-Entropy has been in lately?"

Yang sighed, took off her glasses and wiped them. "I did hear something about... Cocolia's disappearance?"

"It's more than just missing!" Tesla waved his hands excitedly. "That cunning woman suddenly disappeared, and then her adopted daughter Bronya inexplicably took over her place! There must be something fishy going on!"

Einstein gently pressed Tesla's shoulder. "Calm down, Tesla." She turned to Yang and said in a low voice, "Things are more complicated than they appear."

"Is there something wrong with Cocolia's daughter?" Yang asked.

"Yes and no," Einstein explained. "Our people received a piece of news from Bronya...an unexpected piece of news."

Yang put his glasses back on, the lenses reflecting the cold light of the laboratory. "What's the news?"

Einstein did not answer immediately, but operated the terminal several times.

A holographic projection unfolded between the three people, showing an ancient map of Shenzhou.

"The Key of God." Einstein's voice suddenly became unusually serious. "There may be an undiscovered Key of God buried within Shenzhou."

"Key of God..." Hearing these three words, Yang's eyes behind his glasses widened slightly. As someone who often uses the power of the Key of God, the Star of Eden, he knows better than anyone the terrifying power of these ancient weapons.

"Are you sure?" Yang's voice deepened. "Is the information reliable?"

"The clues we got from Bronya were vague," Einstein said, pushing up his glasses. "But after our cross-verification, they're highly reliable."

Tesla interrupted, "And the recent activities of Tianming are also very suspicious! That bastard Otto must have heard about it!"

Yang frowned, and the lab fell into a brief silence, with only the hum of the running instruments echoing in the air.

Yang quickly guessed what Einstein was thinking. He pushed up his glasses, his gaze sharpening. "Are you suggesting that I go to Shenzhou to find the Key of God?"

"Yes," Einstein nodded. "Indeed. One more Key of God would be of great help to us." She paused, a complex expression flashing in her eyes. "If Cocolia were here, we could even collaborate with her."

Even if Cocolia gets the Key of God, it is better than letting Otto get it. But now Cocolia is missing, and as for Bronya?

The little girl was not on their radar right now.

"But we're not the only ones who got the news."

Anti-Entropy is not a monolithic organization. Apart from the veterans, there are too many people who come together just for the sake of profit.

Yang pushed up his glasses. "Who is it this time?"

Einstein sighed softly: "Yu Zhe."

As soon as the name came out, the air in the room seemed to freeze for a moment. Tesla's expression twisted instantly, as if he had swallowed a fly: "It's that pervert!"

Einstein looked at Yang and asked, "You should remember him, right?"

Yang nodded, the corner of her mouth twitching unnaturally. "Impressive..."

Putting aside the fact that his experience of making a fortune by selling hooks was very impressive, he dared to sell electric toys to Einstein and Tesla on the first day of becoming an Anti-Entropy executor, and even gave a "trial package" to each member of Anti-Entropy.

This one incident alone was enough to make Yang remember him for the rest of his life.
