She did not forget Otto's request. If it was something else, Huishi would probably have stood him up. But this time it was about the weirdness, so Huishi still planned to go and take a look. According to the various intelligence she learned, if nothing unexpected happened, the Honkai World had been targeted by the weirdness world, and it might very well become the next world to be invaded by the weirdness.

If no action is taken, the humans of the collapsed world will probably turn into ashes, just like the humans I saw in the prison deep inside the all-you-can-eat restaurant.

Become food on the ghosts' tables, props for performances, or even... a tonic.

It’s also important to note that the world of collapse is not ordinary.

It would be fine if the collapsed world was just an ordinary world.

For the weird world, it is a brand new "pasture".

But in the world of collapse, not to mention the high-level existences such as the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and the Sea of Quantum, just the collapse energy, because of its "omnipotent" nature, combined with the spiritual power that is also very compatible with all things, who knows what kind of chemical reaction it will cause.

The kinds of ghosts that Huishi encountered were only average.

What I’m afraid of is that ghosts and Herrschers will combine, or even directly combine with the Cocoon of the End. What kind of horrible monster will be created?

With Huishi's strength, crossing half the globe was as easy as taking a walk in the small garden downstairs of his house. In less than five minutes, Huishi arrived at the Tianming headquarters.

Led by an unknown Valkyrie, Huishi met Amber, and then, led by Amber, he met Otto.

As soon as he entered the door, Huishi was about to ask Otto what the specific situation was, but he was suddenly stuck.

It was because when Huishi entered the room, he saw Otto playing a game. On the screen, he was controlling a certain Saint Maiden of Destiny, beating a huge fox monster.

“→-→” Huishi’s eyes became strange.

"Ahem, Your Excellency the Bishop, Lord Huishi is here."

Amber coughed and reminded.

Amber's reminder brought Otto back to his senses, but he didn't feel the embarrassment of being caught playing games at work. He said while playing the game: "Oh, Miss Huishi, hello, please wait a moment while I finish defeating this BOSS."

"GAME-0VER!"

However, just as he said this, a saint controlled by Otto on the screen was hit by the fox's tail, and then she was thrown and taken away.

His hand suddenly stopped playing the game, and Otto paused for a few seconds with a smile on his face. Then he slowly put down the controller and said, "Well, this boss's moves are a bit damaging. Should we reduce them a bit, or just delete this throw?"

"No, no, no, we should strengthen Kallen's performance. How could Kallen be unable to defeat a giant fox? Yeah! That's what we should do."

Hui Shi & Amber: "..."

Chapter 157: Ghost Town Exploration (Part )

"GAME-0VER!"

Looking at the game-ending prompt that popped up on the screen, Hui Shi put down the controller and said, "It's really a bit difficult. I suggest you chop this fox down."

"Looks like I'm not the only one feeling this way. Yeah, I'll have to give this more thought when designing bosses next time."

Otto nodded with a smile and said.

"Indeed, it requires serious consideration."

Huishi folded his arms and nodded seriously.

amber:"……"

Amber felt a little nervous when she saw the two people who suddenly started discussing the difficulty of the game.

Fortunately, she had recovered well, so she suppressed her urge to complain and earnestly reminded him, "Your Excellency the Bishop, Your Excellency Hui Shi, please do not forget your business."

After being reminded by Amber, the two came to their senses.

"Let's continue next time."

Huishi suggested.

"no problem."

Otto readily accepted the advice.

Then, the two stood up without any embarrassment and sat down on the sofa in the room used to receive guests. Amber also cooperated and handed a stack of documents to Otto.

After taking the document, Otto glanced at it, then turned and handed it to Hui Shi, saying, "Miss Hui Shi, the content of this document is why I asked you to come here this time."

Huishi also took the file and quickly browsed through it. Soon, he finished reading the document.

Then, Huishi flipped the document back a few pages.

Looking at the picture on the page, he said: "Although there are some differences in the details, the situation is roughly the same as I speculated."

Putting down the documents, Hui Shi said seriously: "The ghost invasion has begun."

"Ghost invasion..."

Otto frowned slightly.

He sat up straight and asked carefully, "Miss Huishi, could you please explain in detail what is going on?"

"To put it simply, it's like an invasion war between countries, except that what we are about to face is not an invasion war between countries or people, but an invasion war between ghosts and humans."

"What are ghosts? Actually, if you read more horror stories, supernatural stories, and ghost movies, you'll understand. Although they may not be exactly the same, ghosts are generally the same kind of existence."

"They are completely opposed to humans, but they cannot completely separate themselves from humans. They even feed on humans."

"Anyway, it's actually quite difficult to fully explain the definition of ghosts. My suggestion is to watch more ghost movies and you'll naturally understand them. Oh, and there are also newer weird things like weird stories and rule-based stories."

"For the sake of convenience in the future, we will call them spiritual."

After a pause, Hui Shi continued, "Now, those supernatural beings have set their sights on the Collapse World and are carrying out their invasion plan."

"This ghost town that suddenly took shape is just the first step."

Hearing this, Otto was silent for a long time.

After a few minutes, he spoke again and asked: "Ms. Huishi, based on what you just said, can I understand it this way? The reason why our world is targeted is because there are a large number of humans in our world, and you said that ghosts feed on humans, so..."

"That's what you think."

Hui Shi smiled and continued, "Just like humans raise animals for food, one of the main reasons ghosts target other human worlds is to develop them into 'human farms' under their control."

Otto frowned again, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "One of the reasons. What are the other reasons?"

"It depends on the specific situation of the invaded world. For yours, it's naturally collapsed."

"Goblins also need Honkai energy?"

"Why not? You've been dealing with Honkai for so many years, you should know the nature of Honkai energy. If you can resist and resolve the erosion of Honkai energy, it will be a very versatile energy source. Otto, I believe you are aware of the value of 'universal energy', right?"

After a moment of silence, Otto slowly nodded and said, "I see."

"Honkai energy is bound to become a reason for the ghosts to covet it, but no one knows what will happen in the end."

"Because your world is also very special. The Tree of Imaginary Numbers and the Ocean of Quantum, these two high-dimensional existences, can resist many external invasions. Otherwise, the ghosts wouldn't have just created a ghost town."

Instead, a major invasion war may have already begun.

Otto was not stupid. When he heard what Hui said, he quickly thought of this situation.

This made him look a little unhappy. They were already struggling to deal with all sorts of things in their own world, and now an outside force had appeared, trying to invade their world? And it was a strange existence like a ghost.

If those strange creatures were allowed to invade their world, even if he could save Kallen, given Kallen's personality, would she just sit there and watch her world being invaded by ghosts?

No! Not only that, Kallen will bravely stand on the front line against the goblins. According to Otto's current understanding of goblins and Huishi's explanation, facing these strange existences, wouldn't Kallen be in great danger again?

We must not let this happen!

After making a decision, Otto asked, "Ms. Huishi, how do we deal with these ghosts?"

“The solution is not complicated.”

"The ghosts and monsters that are arriving now aren't powerful creatures. Although they are equally strange and dangerous to humans, they can kill us if we're not careful. But at least they can be 'brute-forced'."

Huishi smiled and said.

"Brute force?"

Otto looked puzzled.

"Otto, remember this: whether in the future or now, no matter how strange or irrational the ghosts you see are, they all follow certain 'rules'. If you can find those rules, even an ordinary person can defeat them."

"However, there's another type of existence. They believe that rules are paramount. They're usually bizarre and full of strange stories. This type of existence is very troublesome and can't be directly 'brute-forced'. You need to perform some decryption and find certain loopholes before you can 'brute-force' them."

"That's off topic. Let's get back to the solution."

Hui Shi pointed to the image on the document again and said, "Don't think this ghost town is difficult to deal with now because it looks mysterious. In fact, you can just send a group of fighter jets over and carpet bomb it to solve the problem."

As soon as the words fell, Otto and Amber were suddenly stunned.

He looked at Hui with a "What did you say?" expression, at a loss for what to do.

Carpet bombing?

Bombing a ghost town?

Can those weird things be physically destroyed? By the way, the "brute force cracking" you mentioned earlier is not this kind of violence, right?

"But blowing it up directly like this would be a bit of a loss. Let's just treat this as a last resort."

Hui Shi shook his head, stood up and continued, "I plan to go in and take a look at the situation inside the ghost town first, explore it and see if I can find more useful information."

Otto glanced at Hui Shi with a strange expression, then said, "That's fine. Miss Hui Shi, do you mind if I send some people to go with you into the ghost town to take a look?"

Chapter 158 The fastest way to understand the local situation is to find a local "person"

"Ms. Huishi, we meet again."

Somewhere in the American continent, outside the city that was occupied by ghosts and turned into a ghost town, Hui Shi and a team of Valkyries gathered here.

Among them, the temporary captain of this Valkyrie team is the Destiny S-class Valkyrie, Rita Rossweisse.

Now she is not wearing the black and white maid outfit decorated with roses.

Instead, she was wearing a dress with a very mechanical feel, with black, white, gray and green colors interwoven with each other. Hui Shi knew that this Valkyrie armor was an A-level Valkyrie armor in the game, named [Hunting Shadow Iron].

This set of armor enhances Rita's close combat output capability, carries lightning elemental damage, and also has a mechanical dog.

After looking at the mechanical dog squatting at Rita's feet, Huishi withdrew his gaze and looked at the others.

In addition to Rita, there were three B-class Valkyries and one A-class Valkyrie.

Hui Shi couldn't tell who they were, but they were obviously one of the many Valkyries in the background.

Otto sent them here to cooperate with Huishi in investigating the ghost town, but based on Huishi's understanding of Otto, he wanted to get first-hand information. Although Otto is cooperating with him now, Huishi will not be foolish enough to believe that Otto has completely trusted him.

After all, no matter how much ability and foresight he displayed now, he still couldn't give Otto hope of saving Kallen, so he would never open his heart to her.

Otto would not be willing to listen to "second-hand" information about something as important as intelligence from his side.

With a gentle smile, Hui Shi didn't care. He said to the Valkyries, including Rita, "After entering the city, you can do whatever you want, but don't run around. Don't leave me more than a hundred meters away, especially don't leave my sight range. Otherwise, if you are replaced by ghosts, don't blame me for not warning you."

"Yes! Lord Huitoki!" X5.

Rita and the other four Valkyries responded in unison.

Then he followed Hui Shi obediently and approached the ghost town.

However, although they looked calm, they were actually very panicked.

Isn't it the Valkyrie's job to fight the Honkai? Isn't it to fight the Honkai Beasts or the Death Warriors? I've never heard of a Valkyrie going after ghosts!

By the way, this mission is really no joke?

Exploring a ghost town?

Are the ghosts in this ghost town the same as we imagine?

Hui Shi also felt the worry in the hearts of the Valkyries, but she did not say anything to comfort them, nor did she stop.

Soon, everyone arrived at the entrance of the ghost town.

Because of the strange fog, even though everyone was standing at the entrance of the ghost town, they still couldn't see what was happening inside the city. They could only see a hazy fog flowing.

If you look closely, you can seem to see some faint shadows emerging from the fog, and occasionally hear some strange noises.

In short, the atmosphere of horror begins to rise just by arriving at the entrance.

The three Valkyries, except Rita and the A-rank Valkyrie, began to lose control of their bodies and expressions and began to tremble with fear.
