People are collapsing, but Kevin

"Archbishop." He couldn't help but ask, "What happened when my mother betrayed the Mandate of Heaven?"

"Hey, Kevin!"

Otto raised his hand to signal Theresa not to worry about it. He looked solemnly at the white-haired boy in front of him, paused for a moment, and said:

"After the transport plane you and your mother were on left the airport, a missile hit it. That was not my order. Although the damage was not enough to cause the plane to crash, you were thrown out of the cabin by the shock wave of the explosion."

"So maybe I hit my head at that time and I don't remember anything? That makes sense..."

At this point, Kevin had almost understood that at the height of the Destiny Sky Island, falling down would mean certain death. In that situation, it was impossible for anyone to think that they were still alive.

"But I still don't understand, how on earth did I survive?"

"We may never know. Perhaps this is what is called a miracle." Otto tightly grasped the cross pendant on his chest. "Anyway, you are lucky to be alive."

At the beginning, Qigfei said a lot of bad things about Otto. Kevin still remembered a few of them, such as old coffin and conspirator. It seemed that she decided to betray destiny because she was dissatisfied with the archbishop.

But from Kevin's perspective now, Otto gives a good impression, at least he doesn't seem like a completely bad person. Perhaps it is an extension of his close relationship with his aunt, and he does not hate her.

Forget it, why bother about the past? It's all in the past anyway, so why not think about how to become stronger and eradicate the Honkai?

ps: This reminds me of the book, Meet the Great African Chief (Not really)

Chapter 5: Apokalis Talks (5/, please order first!)

"Grandpa, is it really a good idea for Kevin to know so much? I'm worried that it might have a bad influence on him."

After a brief conversation, Kevin was sent away by Theresa, giving her a brief moment to talk to Otto alone.

"It doesn't matter. Kevin is a strong man. It's better to be honest with him than to leave him in the dark. Although he doesn't seem to care much."

Otto replied calmly, walked to his desk, poured a cup of freshly brewed coffee, and took a sip.

The bitter taste is always the best way to boost one's spirit. Although his Soul Steel body no longer needs rest and food physiologically, in order to ensure his basic cognition as a living being, he still simulated these necessary functions in the program - this allows him to feel that he is still alive, rather than a soulless mechanical zombie.

"Qi Gefei..."

He shook the coffee cup in his hand, staring at his reflection in the swirling liquid. He did not give off much sense of oppression, nor did he seem to be planning anything.

It sounds more like an old man's complaint.

Come to think of it, he basically treated Qigfei and Theresa as his own daughters. Even that incident could be considered a kind of indulgence.

Perhaps for someone like him, trust is a luxury. Apart from Amber, the only person Otto can open his heart to completely is Theresa.

"How is Fu Hua doing lately?"

Otto suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked a question. Theresa, sensing the hidden meaning in his words, shrugged helplessly and replied:

"She's still basically the same, teaching history honestly and winning the 'Most Popular Teacher Award' for several consecutive years. Grandpa, I know you don't trust her, but I really think Fu Hua has no reason to betray us."

"You have to be on guard against others, little Theresa. Do you remember the unauthorized missile launch? During the subsequent investigation and interrogation, all the personnel on that defense platform had no recollection of what they had done. In this case, people with psychic abilities will naturally be suspected."

Theresa did not agree with this. She always felt that Otto might be too defensive against Fu Hua. It was a waste of talent to exile such an important fighter from the headquarters to the Far East to teach.

"But Grandpa, didn't you also use the authority of Xuwu Wanzang to thoroughly check Yu Duchen's activation records?" She shook her head and refuted, "The result is that Yu Duchen was in a downtime state during that period, and Fu Hua's own fusion gene is not a spiritual ability. She couldn't control those people."

Otto had to admit that Theresa's words made sense. He was very clear about Fu Hua's identity. She was a fusion warrior from the previous era and the inheritor of the fire of the previous civilization. She was the last person who should be a traitor.

Since it is a cooperative relationship and the overall goal is to fight against Honkai, Fu Hua, who has those identities, has no need to harm Tianming. But this is only in theory. The many doubts since the first Honkai made it difficult for him to completely trust this seemingly pure and simple woman.

"I hope so. Maybe I'm just too suspicious, hahaha..."

He smiled and made a concession, then changed the subject, picked up a document on the table and looked at it carefully.

"Also, in the last report, I noticed that you took in a 'Herscher with a human heart' during the third Honkai. What is her current condition?"

"She? She's fine!"

When Theresa mentioned Mei, she couldn't help but raise her chin with an expression that said "Praise me quickly". She felt that getting her into school was one of the most meaningful things she had done during this period.

"That's a great girl. She helped us solve a big problem in Changkong City yesterday and brought back a group of unexpected survivors and a free mercenary who holds the Third God Key."

"Well done, little Theresa." Otto touched Theresa's little head lovingly, "But you mentioned the Third Key of God just now?"

He keenly smelled a suspicious atmosphere. The Third God's Key, which Tianming had searched the entire world for but could not find, was actually in the hands of a "free mercenary".

"Yes~ I interrogated that girl before I came back, and pried some interesting things out of her." Theresa stretched, "It seems that she once worked for an organization called 'World Serpent', and that organization was the culprit that caused the third Honkai Impact. Of course, she also emphasized many times that she was not involved in this matter."

After saying that, she shook her legs and kicked off her boots, placing a pair of small white silk feet on the table. Her slender legs were crossed, showing beautiful lines wrapped in thin white stockings.

"Grandpa, do you know anything about this 'World Snake'?"

"I have heard that, if the records are correct, the 'World Serpent' is an organization founded by our ancestors of Apokalis to fight against the Honkai. They rarely show themselves to the world. Compared to the open Church of Heaven's Destiny, they are more like a monastic order."

As he spoke, Otto pinched his chin and nodded slightly, as if he was lost in thought. Then he glanced at Theresa and asked:

"If that's the case, the Third Herrscher should also be the product of some of their plans? Using artificial Honkai Impact to induce the birth of the Herrscher... Hehe, if Dr. Maki knew about this, God knows what crazy plan he would submit to me."

"No! I think it's better not to tell him."

Theresa retracted her legs. She felt that artificially creating destruction was crazy enough. If a crazy scientist knew that such an operation was possible, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Don't worry, I'm just joking."

The corners of Otto's mouth rose slightly, revealing a harmless smile, but at least in Theresa's opinion, that didn't mean he really didn't have such an idea.

Over the past five hundred years, Otto, who sat on the position of Archbishop of Heaven's Mandate, has taken countless extreme measures. Perhaps the ultimate goal was to fight against the collapse, but they were enough to make believers in the church call him heresy.

"The day of judgment will come eventually, but it won't be now."

Otto turned his back and looked at the portrait of Karen Kaslana hanging on the wall, as well as the photos recording the tragedies of the two great collapses, muttering to himself.

Then he turned around and looked at Theresa, who was standing upright in front of the table. The slightly worried look on her face seemed to touch the softest spot in his heart.

"Remember to take good care of Kevin. Now that your sister Qigfei is gone, there is no one more suitable than you to take on the role of mother." He said, "That kid has the legendary blood of Shaniyat and Kaslana. If given time, he may become the greatest warrior..."

"Of course I will."

Theresa responded and tactfully left the room, leaving the other person some space to think alone.

Chapter 58: Miss Raven's Bad Day

Miss Raven is very happy today.

Although the recruitment process was somewhat bumpy, it turned out that joining Saint Freya was indeed a wise choice.

"Hehehe~ What a great room! This... this really can't be a dream, right?!"

With a silly grin, she threw herself onto the spacious bed, buried her face in the soft pillow, and took a deep breath of the fresh scent - a brand new, spotless bed without any smell of sweat!

This was several times better than the cramped little room in her own tavern, Reaven's. The ceiling had lamps with ornate carvings and gold-inlaid edges, and it looked very classy at first glance.

There is not only a living room, but also a large living room, equipped with a new 55-inch LCD color TV... and it is a smart voice model! This thing is expensive.

They even sent a whole large wine cabinet. Raven guaranteed that the wine stored in it was enough to support him to open another Reaven's in St. Freya.

To be honest, if she hadn't confirmed again and again that this was her new residence, she would have thought she was in a luxury suite in a five-star hotel...

Woohoo, it’s a place she can’t afford to live in normally.

Is this the legendary Saint Freya? The territory of the second most important person in destiny, when it comes to wealth, is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

She also visited the children's residence, which was decorated quite luxuriously and comfortably. Compared to "The Nest", a place where people could barely survive, it was simply a paradise.

The salary that Theresa promised would soon be received. Although it was not as much as 500 million euros, it was enough for her to spend for a long time. She had never had such a wonderful feeling when working for World Serpent before!

However, before Raven could enjoy the feeling of heaven for a little longer, a sharp shout from outside the door brought her back to reality.

"Teacher Xiola, open the door! Don't force us to use force..."

"…ah?"

She didn't react for a moment. The next second, accompanied by a deafening noise, the door of the dormitory was torn open by some amazing force, and a group of fully armed Valkyries rushed in and surrounded her.

"Uh… guys."

Raven looked at the row of black muzzles and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. His whole momentum fell. After hesitating for a long time, he asked in a low voice:

"What happened?"

"That's exactly what we wanted to ask you, Teacher Xiola~"

With a dangerous smile on her face, Theresa walked out from behind the Valkyrie Special Forces, her dark blue eyes flashing with a cold look as she stared straight at the bewildered Miss Raven.

Since she and Kevin returned from the Satori headquarters, the first news they learned was that Mei had fainted and could not be awakened no matter what.

由于布洛妮娅在这期间一直处于软禁状态，与芽衣的接触极少，甚至连那个大机器人“重装小兔19-c”都给没收外=群/５&&1*7-|8=#8*{0&}7/６+1<}

She probably didn't have much to do with this matter.

But Raven is different. She and Mei had close contact in Changkong City and had experience in carrying out missions together. In addition, as a former member of the World Snake, she is an extremely suspicious object no matter how you look at it.

So, just as our poor dodo found its comfortable little nest, Theresa organized a special team to check the water meter, and its situation was precarious, even though she knew nothing at all.

"Don't play dumb. Did you do anything to make Mei faint? If you tell me now, I can forgive you for your surrender. But if you refuse to tell me..."

Theresa grinned, a cruel smile that was almost like that of a predator. Raven wanted to cry out that she was innocent, saying that she really didn't know Mei's situation, but her legs were shaking so badly, and under the huge pressure from the genetic level, she could hardly utter a word.

So...so scary!

In Raven's eyes, the person in front of him was no longer a twelve-year-old little girl, but a ferocious beast that was ready to eat its prey, slowly showing its fangs...

It's even more terrifying than a billion murderers!

"You won't tell me, right?" Theresa's already limited patience ran out. "Well, it seems I have to teach you a lesson."

After she finished speaking, she grabbed Raven's wrist and pulled it hard, almost dislocating the joint and instantly pulling the latter to the ground... Then, she was dragged into the room by her hair, her face ashen.

"No...don't!" Raven still tried to struggle, "Principal, I really don't know anything! Please don't..."

But it was too late. The door was shut with a bang, and then bursts of shrill screams came from inside.

“Don’t! Don’t put that thing… Uuuuu! Help… Guwu… Help! I’m going to die!!”

"Then tell me quickly, hehe. If you tell me the truth, I will be very gentle, okay?"

"I… don't know! Uh ahhh not there!"

Gradually, the screams took on a different flavor, which made people imagine, but who knows? What exactly did Miss Raven experience in there...

“Ha…Aaaaa…Ugh…”

When Theresa walked out of the room, Raven also fell to the ground with a thud. The head that was sticking out from the door was twitching. Her eyes were rolled back, and crystal threads were flowing around her lips. She was muttering something. She must have experienced some horrible torture.

"It seems that we are Teacher Xiola and we are really innocent. I'm so sorry~"

She looked back at the raven, stuck out her tongue without any apology, and left with the Key of God "Oath of Judah". What was worrying was that the end of the golden spear in her hand was stained with something sticky...

Considering that Raven was not a particularly strong-willed person, if she still didn't say anything after being interrogated using this method, it must mean that she knew nothing at all.

This was the second time Raven was interrogated by Theresa, but the most unfortunate thing was that this time she really knew nothing about the situation and was completely an unlucky person who was caught in the crossfire.

"Jizi, send someone to take Teacher Xiola to the medical bay." Theresa ordered, "I think she may need some care right now. At least let her go to work normally tomorrow."

"Obey...obey!"

Ji Zi couldn't help sweating when she was called, and her pupils under her sunglasses trembled. She knew that Theresa, as the former executioner, was terrifying, but seeing such a method with her own eyes was still a little shocking.

“Ah ha ah… wuwu… Xiaokong… the teacher is not clean again wuwuwu…”

The uniform shirt soaked with sweet sweat was emitting a charming blush from her skin, which truly reflected the anxious temperature in her body. Raven tilted her head in a daze, feeling her body becoming more and more strange.

"I'm so sorry this happened, Ms. Xiora. Susanna, get a stretcher and carry her out."

Seeing this, Ji Zi pressed her palm against her face, unable to bear to watch it, and quickly arranged for the accompanying Valkyrie special forces to make a simple stretcher to send poor teacher Xiola to the medical bay.

Correction: Miss Raven is not happy at all today...

Today must be her day of damnation!

Woohoo, woohoo, woohoo…

Hot tears flowed out of Miss Raven's misty scarlet eyes, wetting her rosy cheeks and leaving two tear marks of humiliation - why did such bad things always happen to her!
