When it comes to studying, constantly forcing someone to learn is counterproductive. Having been immersed in education for so many years, Theresa certainly understood this. She was doing this simply to keep Kiana on the moon for a while.
At least until Siegfried finds out the results of his investigation...
Siegfried, you're such a bastard! Theresa felt both angry and distressed when she thought of Siegfried. The mess from back then was truly irreparable, and he was one of the biggest victims.
Grandpa, you really deserve to die!
The painting of Otto on the wall looked at Theresa tenderly, speechless.
After taking a breath, Theresa replied to Wang Xuanqiao.
Teriri: I haven't paid it yet. This time, I told her not to delay paying it any more, because if she keeps owing more, it won't be good for her.
The otaku who plays games: Of course that’s what she should do, but is it okay to ask her to find some time to come over and help me?
Help? Theresa narrowed her eyes, a fire rising in her heart.
You're saying you're helping her, but you're really just giving her a holiday. Who doesn't know your little tricks? And you're trying to trick me?
That's great! I also want someone to rescue me. Theresa's resentment instantly overflowed.
Okay, okay, okay, okay! In that case, don't blame me for being a little mean to you!
Theresa quickly typed a reply on the on-screen keyboard.
Teriri: If the manager needs help, of course I can. But Kiana can't go, so I'll send someone else to you.
Otaku playing games: [uh cat]
The otaku playing games: [dizzy][dizzy][dizzy]
Theresa, feeling a sense of defeat on screen, laughed like a villain whose scheme had succeeded. Feeling refreshed, she sat up and tapped the green button on the desk.
After a while, Amber came in with a glass of bitter melon juice.
"Your Excellency, this is the bitter melon juice you requested."
"Thank you, Amber." Theresa nodded. "Also, please notify Yulandel and add an additional outbound mission. Tell her to help the store manager. She'll know what to do later."
Amber gave the bitter melon juice to Theresa, then left the office to find Yulandel.
"Haha, I'll send you the strongest Valkyrie to help you. You won't be able to find any faults even if you want to, Manager!"
At this moment, Theresa vaguely resembled Otto... in some aspects.

"So, Theresa sent you here?"
Wang Xuanqiao felt a headache when he saw Bianca reporting to the store in her Valkyrie uniform.
"Uh, shouldn't I be here, Manager?" Bianca felt a little embarrassed when she saw his expression. After all, their relationship wasn't that distant, so she was naturally more casual in the arcade.
"That's not the case." Wang Xuanqiao waved his hand. "But since you're here, why don't you just stay here until I get off work? Didn't you just get to the third level last time? Today's a good time to see if I can clear it all in one go."
"But...is it really okay to play games during work hours?" Although Bianca was tempted, she still felt that it might not be a good idea based on her personal ethics.
"How could that be? Then think about why you are here now?" Wang Xuanqiao asked her immediately.
"Because the Archbishop sent me to help the store manager," Bianca replied immediately.
"So are you under my control now?" Wang Xuanqiao asked again.
"Okay." Bianca nodded.
"Are there any other questions?" Wang Xuanqiao asked with his hands spread out.
Bianca blinked, and her pale lips moved slightly, as if she was about to say something, but she said nothing.
It wasn't until Wang Xuanqiao turned around and prepared to go back to sit on the sofa that she finally asked, "But manager, what about what you were going to do?"
"Well, we'll have to think of another way." Wang Xuanqiao shrugged. "Anyway, I was originally planning to get Kiana away from Theresa to help ease the situation. If I really can't pry Theresa's mouth, then I'll have to ask you to let Kiana go as well."
"So, have fun."

Bianca still felt something was odd.
It was nice to have a legitimate reason to slack off during work hours, but Bianca always felt like she was taking advantage of others, especially Kiana.
Although Bianca hadn't had much contact with Kiana and the others from St. Freya, she wasn't completely unfamiliar with them. Before the Final War began, everyone had gone through a period of integration training.
Bianca was well aware that the relationship between Kiana and Wang Xuanqiao was rather special. If it were anyone else, it would simply be a favor she'd owed and then return. However, with Kiana, things became more complicated.
Bishop Theresa, you've given me a difficult problem...
Bianca pondered for a moment and came up with a solution to this delicate situation.
"Then I'll help the manager find a solution," she said. "I can more or less guess why the bishop sent me here. If I can find a loophole, perhaps I can rescue Kiana."
"Well...it's not impossible." Wang Xuanqiao pondered for a moment, nodded, and patted the sofa on the other side to signal Bianca to sit over and talk.
However, Bianca's use of the word "rescue" had a funny feel, like a serious person joking.
"Why do you think Theresa asked you to come here?"
After Bianca sat down, Wang Xuanqiao asked her, wanting to see if she had really guessed the reason.
"Perhaps they think I won't choose to favor Kiana in this matter, and...actually, I also know that everyone in Fate often says that I am rigid in private."
Wang Xuanqiao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"...You don't think I'm rigid, do you? Manager." Bianca looked a little unhappy.
"That's not the point." Wang Xuanqiao quickly shook his head. "The people in Tianming think you're rigid because they don't understand you. Do you rarely interact with them on a regular basis? Is most of your interactions based on missions?"
"Yeah, that's true." Bianca recalled and nodded slightly. "I've also been trying to interact with my teammates outside of missions lately. They're obviously a little nervous around me."
"That's it. You joined the Mandate of Heaven to protect the world, and you've basically been busy fighting the Honkai. The few missions that didn't require combat were private tasks assigned by Otto, a guy with ulterior motives. It's only natural that your reputation has suffered."
Wang Xuanqiao suppressed his smile and explained to Bianca.
"A powerful warrior has everything but a mouth. This statement may not be entirely true, but it often reflects reality. However, you have changed now and are beginning to speak out to others, which is a good thing."
After he finished speaking, Bianca's expression was noticeably relieved.
It's hard to say you don't care about being misinterpreted behind your back. In the past, Bianca could temporarily ignore the cries for help during disasters, but now that the world is closer to peace, those cries are becoming clearer.
"Then why is the manager laughing?" Bianca asked curiously.
"Because you guessed wrong." Wang Xuanqiao shrugged. "There may be many reasons why Theresa asked you to come, but the most important one is your status in the Fate of Heaven. Even though Kiana now holds the power of the End, you are the most powerful of the orthodox Fate of Heaven."
"Uh...but this..." Bianca hesitated. She really hadn't thought about it being related to the title of 'The Strongest in Destiny'.
In fact, Bianca never wore the strongest crown on her head.
"The objective fact is this. Even if you don't want to agree, it won't disappear." Wang Xuanqiao said to her, "Theresa is using your identity to shut me up. If Kiana can do it, there's no reason you can't do it, unless..."
"Unless it is?"
Faced with Bianca's subconscious questioning, Wang Xuanqiao did not answer, but just looked at her expressionlessly.
Bianca was slightly stunned at first, but soon realized what was going on, and a huge blush instantly appeared on her handsome face.
"This, this, this... I really can't do it! I can't do it." She quickly avoided his gaze and waved her hands frantically.
"Can I tell Theresa about this?" Wang Xuanqiao spread out his hands and asked.
"Well, then, then, in that case, if we want to rescue Kiana, then..." Bianca quickly changed the subject.
"There is actually a way." Wang Xuanqiao smiled mysteriously at Bianca.
"What's the solution?" Bianca pressed her hand against her cheek, as if it could cool her down.
"Of course, we'll keep calling for people," Wang Xuanqiao replied with a smile. "There are only so many people who have Tianming cards at the arcade. We'll just have to keep calling until Kiana shows up. I don't believe Theresa would send anyone who has no connection to the arcade."
It was indeed an effective method. Bianca didn't know how to evaluate this continuous shaking method.
She thought about it carefully. Although Wang Xuanqiao's constant shaking of people seemed to interfere with the normal operation of Tianming, if it was Theresa, she would not really let Wang Xuanqiao shake the last person. The next one to come would most likely be Kiana, unless Theresa just wanted to make the relationship awkward.
"In that case, I can rest assured staying here." Bianca smiled again. "Thank you for taking care of me today, manager."
"No, you don't come here often. Wait until you come every day before bothering me."
Wang Xuanqiao smiled and asked Bianca to go on board.

The quiet of midnight hangs like a thin veil over an orphanage in France.
In this orphanage under the jurisdiction of fate, besides the sound of the children's deep sleep, the only sounds left were the footsteps of the night watchmen quietly walking through the corridors. Tranquility was the theme of this time and place, but there was one place that didn't fit in: the archives.
In the orphanage's archives, two people were working late into the night.
"We've been looking through the archives since the second collapse, one by one, until now. We even got to see the famous Yulandel as a child. In a sense, this trip wasn't in vain."
Siegfried sighed as he leaned against the filing cabinet, holding a paper file in his hand.
"But there shouldn't be no clues at all." Fu Hua frowned. She sat at her desk, still flipping through several files in her hands.
"There were gaps in the information about this orphanage in the Void Wanzang intelligence, and Otto supplemented it later. But we've been investigating for so long, and we haven't found even a trace of the completed information. This is the biggest problem."
Since visiting the Unknown Cemetery, Fu Hua and Sieg rushed to this orphanage in France without stopping.
The two spent quite a while in the archives, almost digging out all the old documents from the early days of the orphanage and looking through them again, but they didn't find even a single clue.
So Fu Hua started to take it seriously and became more concerned about it than Siegfried, the real owner.
When it is clear that there is something fishy going on, the absence of any clues is the biggest clue.
Fu Hua felt that even if this had nothing to do with little Kiana's situation, Otto must be plotting something. Rather than helping Siegfried find his family, she was more interested in uncovering the truth hidden in the shadows. She couldn't let the hidden dangers Otto had left behind continue.
"But we've even looked through the paper materials several times and can't find them here. There's just nothing we can do."
Siegfried looked somewhat helpless.
"No, there's actually a simpler method." Fu Hua raised her head and said to Siegfried, "I'm currently comparing these papers from the same period. Although it's impossible to pinpoint the exact production date, we can use details like the color of the paper and the printed ink to compare the time difference."
Siegfried was shocked at the time, and for a moment he couldn't believe his ears, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
Who is this [expletive] person? How can he find the paper itself?
"Then...are there any results?" Siegfried could only follow his train of thought and ask.
"Of course. At least now I can confirm that the paper used for these files has changed." Fu Hua replied, "We can check the inventory records or purchase details, and compare the time of purchase of the blank paper to confirm which files were added later."
Siegfried was speechless. The only person who could do this was probably Fu Hua. Although he already felt a sense of incomprehension, he decided to continue cooperating.
After all, Fu Hua was here to help him with the investigation, so it wouldn't be right for him to back down.
It's just... now it's kind of scary.
Siegfried sighed softly and couldn't help but think of the tombstone in the nameless cemetery.
Daughter, are you really still in this world?
What exactly is that mysterious feeling?
——The author has something to say——
The mysterious feeling, of course, comes from the stigmata (laughs)
After taking a look, I found that only one book friend guessed that it was the unlocking game of Shinji Kaminaga. "Detroit, Become Human" is indeed related to human nature. I also thought of this alternative when I was conceiving it, but I personally think that the game "Detroit, Become Human" is not worth 8000 points.
So, let's get straight to the point: the game unlocked by Kaminaga Shinji, the new Ultraman, was actually "This War of Mine," a game about struggling to survive in a brutal war environment. Incidentally, the game Zhe unlocked at the time was "Watch Dogs."
By the way, let me complain about the last paragraph: digging for clues directly from the paper itself is something that normal people can't do or think of, but Fu Hua can actually do it. Of course, the reason she did this was because the information was so clean that she suspected Otto of laying a minefield and felt that she couldn't just leave it alone.
So all the mistakes are Otto's fault!
Volume 206: : There are no gods or Buddhas in this world
Walking into the Buddha Realm again, Youlandel was still a little nervous.
She was not afraid of the monsters here, nor was she depressed by this gloomy cage. It was just that when the strange sound in the pagoda rang out, a strong desire to attack surged in her heart, and she only wanted to destroy and kill.
Yulandel was never afraid of how powerful the enemy was; she was only afraid that she would accidentally lose her original intention in the confrontation.
This is the uniqueness of the Buddha Realm. The demonic sound that penetrates the ears is not a so-called hypnotic suggestion, but rather it awakens the fighting spirit in the human heart, and then allows the wild soul to expand and wreak havoc.
