Collapse, Kaslana's Way of Survival

After a long time, Xier bit her lips and closed her eyes first. Her originally tense body completely relaxed and she lay down safely on the sofa.

It was like a blooming lotus, allowing him to admire and pick it.

Swallowing lightly, Kainuo moved closer to Xier, until their noses touched.

boom.

The door was pushed open.

……

"It's all over. I was too serious about repairing the house and actually left Judas inside."

Theresa pushed open the door of the villa and quickly ran up the stairs with her short legs to open her door. She didn't feel relieved until she saw the Key of God and the Oath of Judas placed there safely.

"Phew, luckily, it wasn't stolen by some bad guys."

Patting her chest, Theresa picked up Judas, turned him into a cross necklace, put it around her neck, and walked out of the room in a happy mood.

After just a quick look around the living room, she frowned again and touched her head.

"Strange, shouldn't Xiao Kainuo and Xi'er be playing games at this time? Where did they go?"

If you can't think of it, just forget about it. Shaking her head, Theresa jumped directly from the second floor, leisurely opened the door and left the villa.

And just behind the sofa where she couldn't see, a small explosive ball was shaking slightly, as if telling others that it had just been turned off.

Chapter 115 Otto Apokalis

That night.

Amber pushed the door open carefully, holding a stack of documents, and walked quietly into the office of Archbishop of Destiny, Otto Apokalis.

As if he hadn't noticed her arrival, the blond man with the same hairstyle as Theresa leaned on the table with his chin supported by one hand, operating the mouse to browse the computer, looking quite comfortable.

"Your Majesty Bishop."

Amber quietly signaled her presence to the other party, walked to the opposite side of the man, put the documents in her hand on the table, took a step back and looked at him steadily.

"Here are all the documents that need to be processed this week. Please take a look. Many of the matters this time are quite urgent, so please complete them as soon as possible."

"Yeah, okay. Just leave the information there for now, I'll take a look at it later."

Without even glancing at the documents on the table or Amber opposite him, Otto continued to stare at the computer in front of him, mechanically responding to Amber's questions.

Anyone could see that this person was not prepared to work quickly at all and just intended to fool the secretary in front of him and then continue to slack off.

Naturally, this person also includes the secretary.

Sighing helplessly, Amber turned sideways, made a turn and walked behind Otto, pretending to turn off the computer screen in front of him.

"Stop, stop, stop. I get it."

Otto quickly closed the Kallen Fantasy IV rankings on the computer screen, moved away from the name of the first place, turned around in his computer chair, and looked helplessly at Amber behind him.

"It's a rare Sunday, and even as an archbishop, I want to relax for a while."

"But the backend data shows that you've already been playing games for a whole day. Also, if you keep wasting time on games like this, the research funding allocated to Kallen's new fantasy game will be cut. It just so happens that Miss Changguang has applied for some funding..."

"If she wants funding, just give it to her. For now, let's ignore the funding that Liu Kalian fantasizes about."

Otto sighed helplessly, rubbed his brows, turned his head to look at the documents on the table, and looked at the documents on the table with a bitter look on his face.

"So much information? I guess I won't be able to get a good night's sleep today."

"With all due respect, Amber has never seen you sleep, Lord Otto. I imagine this isn't something you need."

"Depriving humans of their sleep time is a serious crime. Even Bianca probably thinks so."

After making a joke, Otto sat down and became serious.

"Amber, you should have read all the information, right? Just tell me the key points, and I'll go through the rest later."

Although the document must be specifically approved by the Archbishop of Destiny, as his secretary and one of the few people who knows almost all of his plans, Amber has the right, obligation and ability to browse the document in advance and pick out the key points.

Of course, whether he intends to take advantage of this is unknown.

"OK, all right."

Amber nodded, took a step back and folded her hands in front of her waist.

"First, we need to review and approve Ms. Changguang's application for research funding... which you have already agreed to."

"Yeah, no problem." Otto nodded, then, as if recalling some unpleasant past, he hurriedly asked, "Oh, by the way, what's her reason for applying for funding? If it's too ridiculous, don't give it to her."

"Improving Bianca's armor and lance is a reasonable expense, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"Then continue."

"Another subject died in Dr. Maki's experiment with the Serenity Gem. He hopes to apply for a new Valkyrie to conduct the experiment."

"I remember it was less than half a month since he last applied. This old guy really doesn't treat those Valkyries as human beings."

Otto smiled indifferently and waved his hand.

"Then let's do it the old way. Gather some Valkyries who are willing to sacrifice their lives to fight the Honkai and conduct experiments. Oh, and I remember that guy has a granddaughter who's also a Valkyrie, right? Put her on the recruitment list, too."

"Even though that kid might not get selected the first time she signs up, if she keeps going, one day that old guy will see her in the lab. I'm really looking forward to his expression then."

"Yes, I understand."

Amber nodded and continued.

"Then there's the news from Lady Theresa. You should have heard about Saint Freya being invaded by Anti-Entropy. Lady Fu Hua also sent me an investigation report today, and I think you need to take a look at it now."

"I do know. I have the guts to directly attack Little Theresa's Far Eastern branch. I wonder where Anti-Entropy got the courage—that hidden world snake? Ha."

"My old friend contacted me last night about Kaslana, who suddenly appeared wearing the same mask as Kallen and kidnapped the enemy. It's said that she also wields powers that seem to be those of the Second Herrscher? Hmm."

Leaning back in his chair, Otto looked at Amber in front of him with a smile.

"She even asked me if I had done it. Funny, isn't it?"

Amber said nothing.

Otto shrugged and waved his hand, deciding to skip this unimportant topic for the time being.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. What did she send me? If it was important, it should have appeared directly in my mailbox."

"It's about the investigation into the masked man. Lady Fu Hua has ruled out some people she considers suspicious, including Mr. Kainuo, who has been staying at Lady Theresa's villa and whom you instructed me to look up information about."

Amber nodded slightly.

"Although his actions when he left school that night were rather suspicious, Lady Fu Hua indicated that she had used Yu Duchen to test him, and that this could indeed be ruled out."

"Oh, interesting."

Touching his chin, Otto showed a meaningful smile on his face.

"It seems the information gap led my old friend to a potentially wrong conclusion. If he really is Siegfried and Cecilia's child, then he was able to evade the search of Destiny and Anti-Entropy and live alone for several years. It's not impossible that he has some strange tricks up his sleeve now."

"What's more, the person last night had already used abilities beyond the common sense of ordinary people. It was not difficult for Yu Duchen to deceive her - although there are almost no people in the world who can deceive Yu Duchen."

"What do you mean?"

Amber tilted her head.

"I remember he requested to be promoted to A-rank Valkyrie this week, right? Coincidentally, there's a very suitable mission for him now."

Otto smiled.

"As for confirming his identity, I'll leave that to someone more suitable than my old friend."

Chapter 116: Light bulbs that disturb others should be hung on street lights!

"Well, I was exhausted last night. Being a school principal is really tiring."

Walking down from the second floor, Theresa sat down at the dining table, rubbing her eyes and greeting the remaining people.

"Good morning, nephew, Xier, and Bella."

"Good morning. But Auntie, what time did you come back and go to bed last night?"

Holding a steamed bun, Kainuo glanced at the clock on the wall and confirmed that it was nine o'clock.

Even if you came back at three in the morning, you shouldn't be so sleepy, right?

Especially even though they were at the dinner table, his aunt was still listless.

"Wow, stop it. I won't be back until almost five."

Theresa rested her head on the dining table and turned her head, wanting to cry but unable to.

"The funding for the college construction has been approved, the funding for the lab has been approved, and there's a ton of other things that have been piling up... While it's true that we were extorted a large sum of money from Anti-Entropy during this invasion, I'm exhausted!"

"Not only that, I'm the only one working in such a huge city like Saint Freya. Not only do I have no one to help me share the pressure, but even when I'm hungry at five o'clock, there are no nephews or nieces to bring me food!"

Suddenly raising her head from the table, Theresa glared at Kainuo fiercely, grabbed the steamed bun on the table and stuffed it into her mouth.

"There's oil in it, be careful not to burn yourself."

Kainuo quickly reminded him, after all, there was already a victim who had his mouth burned and now had some psychological trauma and just stared at the food without eating a single bite.

But then he realized that his reminder was unnecessary.

Theresa, who has fused with the genes of the Honkai Beast, is probably not afraid of this temperature at all. As she is over 40 years old and has rich experience, she must have eaten this kind of food before.

"Well, Bella's cooking skills are pretty good. She can make food even better than Mei!"

Theresa's eyes widened, and she suddenly became alert.

If you don't know, you might think Bella added some strange medicine in it.

Bella nodded silently, stood up from her chair, and said goodbye to everyone.

"It's getting late, Master. I'm going to work."

"Goodbye then, Bella."

Waving to Bella, Keno quickly finished the food in his hand, patted Xier's shoulder beside him, and stood up.

"Aunt, Xier and I have an appointment to go out and play. Can you continue to catch up on your sleep after dinner?"

Since the students at St. Freya Academy had just been attacked and were busy repairing the school for a day, Theresa gave them two more days off.

All I can say is, everyone is happy.

"Well, okay, then you guys be careful...eh?"

Just as she was about to say goodbye, Theresa, who looked at Xier in her mental state for the first time today, was stunned and tightened her clothes.

"Well, nephew. It's true that winter is approaching, but is the temperature very low today?"

Theresa tilted her head to look at the bright sun outside the window, full of confusion.

Although her body was different from that of an average person, she had no problem sensing the temperature. Because of this, she couldn't understand why Seele was wearing a jacket with a collar that covered her neck on such a mild day.

It's only right to wear a T-shirt in this kind of weather, right?

That should be right, my eldest nephew is wearing a T-shirt.

Hearing Theresa's question, Kainuo and Xier looked at each other subconsciously, and then glanced away tacitly.

Some things cannot be said, especially when facing elders.

At this time, we can only be thankful that this elder has very little experience in this area.

"Uh, maybe it's because we played games late last night? Anyway, Xier is feeling a little unwell. Even though she took medicine, she still feels more comfortable in a jacket."

Without blinking, Kainuo lied for Xier.

Xier also coughed twice symbolically, and a blush spread through her collar to her cheeks.

"Is that so? Then it's definitely a good idea to go out for a walk. Better ventilation is good for your health. See you later, nephew."

Theresa hesitated for a moment, then nodded and turned around to continue eating breakfast.

It can be seen that my aunt is really hungry.

He tugged at Xier's clothes and they left the room together.

……

"Speaking of which, Xi'er, do you really not need me to help you heal the mark on your neck?"

After he moved Xier's collar, his hand was slapped away again. Kainuo asked with a wry smile.

Hearing this, Xier just glanced at Kainuo with her wine-red eyes, tightened her collar again, lowered her head slightly, and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito.
