Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

Theresa had no choice but to sit back down.

"I'm willing to believe what you say. Now, please tell me what you want in return." She sighed, "But if it's not up to me, I can't make any promises to you."

"It's okay, just a token of my appreciation." Wang Xuanqiao waved his hand. "After tonight, I'm planning to go to Haiyuan City. I heard that's the territory of Anti-Entropy. If I cause any damage there, I'll just pay for it."

Theresa:?

Didn't I just say that I can't make promises about things that aren't my decision? You're talking like I'm some high-ranking figure in the Anti-Entropy world.

Just as Theresa was struggling, Mei Raiden gently touched her with her leg.

Theresa reacted.

"By the way! We have been so busy talking about business that we haven't introduced ourselves yet, right? But you seem to already know us, so can we get to know you?" She deliberately cleared her throat and said.

"Of course, no problem. Maybe we will have more interactions in the future." Wang Xuanqiao smiled slightly.

If all three of you came to apply for a card, I could unlock the self-purchased games now.

However, Wang Xuanqiao didn't like to be too utilitarian. After all, coming to the world of Honkai Impact 3rd was, in a sense, also playing a game. Since it was all about playing, he should focus on the one at hand first.

"My name is Wang Xuanqiao, the manager of the Ninth Art Game Hall." As he was speaking, he suddenly noticed a white furry ball peeking stealthily on the balcony, and he couldn't help laughing.

It seems that Kiana is getting impatient.

"Oh, yes, there's one more thing." Wang Xuanqiao changed the subject. "I know what you're trying to negotiate with Gray Snake. You want to find the Herrscher of the Void, right?"

Surprisingly, Theresa was the first to stand up from her seat. Raiden Mei was only a fraction of a second slower than her!

"Do you know any clues about her?"

Theresa looked very excited, and among the three, only Bronya had no obvious expression on her face.

"I do, but..." Wang Xuanqiao deliberately kept the question a secret. "Do you really want to know?"

The three of them almost held their breath, and even the white-haired ball who was eavesdropping on the balcony was startled outside.

The girl who had been mute all the time couldn't help but think: I should just go home by myself...

In the end, it was Mei Raiden who spoke first.

"I, I want to know!" She clutched her collar unconsciously. "How is Kiana now?"

"She went to another world." Wang Xuanqiao put away his smile. "If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be here."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mei Raiden collapsed on the sofa as if struck by lightning.

At the same time, Kiana pulled open the sliding door of the balcony.

"Manager! Don't say things that can cause misunderstandings!" The white-haired girl's face flushed red as she shouted loudly, and all the emotions like "homesickness" were thrown out of her mind at this moment.

"Kiana!?"

"Kiana!!!"

"Stupid Kiana!?"

The three families naturally wanted to enjoy the excitement and joy of their long-awaited reunion. As their principal, Theresa could only give them this time. She breathed a long sigh of relief, a look of relief that belied her age flashing across her seemingly youthful face.

"You bad guy, why did you lie to us?" Theresa turned her gaze to Wang Xuanqiao again.

"How could I have lied to you?" Wang Xuanqiao spread his hands innocently. "You don't think I'm from this world, do you?"

"......?" Theresa's brain froze for a second.

After quickly restarting, her eyes suddenly widened.

"Could it be that you are... from another world!?" Theresa stared at Wang Xuanqiao intently. "So that's how it is? That's not surprising, that's not surprising."

She looked so thoughtful that people couldn't help but ask her what she knew.

"I clearly remember you guys doing a lot of research on the multiverse," Wang Xuanqiao grumbled. "A being like me suddenly showing up, with such incredible strength, you wouldn't think I'm some otherworldly expert, would you?"

"...That's a real possibility." Theresa said with a subtle expression. "Shenzhou is a place full of legends. Even the renowned Red Kite Immortal actually existed. But now's not the time to discuss that. Are you saying that Kiana went to your world and brought you here?"

And such a powerful person is just the manager of a game hall? ? ?

Thinking of this, Theresa felt a little dizzy.

This short conversation was like putting a lot of information in a bag, compacting it, and then using it as a hammer to hit her in the face.

It was good that I didn't faint on the spot.

"I always feel like you're thinking about some messed up things..." Wang Xuanqiao gave Theresa a cold look. "So, have you finished enjoying your long-awaited reunion?"

He looked at the people gathered together, as if he was back in the old days of the Three Great Families, and had to speak out a reminder.

"Yeah!" Kiana wanted to return to her seat with a satisfied look on her face, but suddenly found that her seat had been occupied after Theresa and the others arrived.

At this point, of course I should sit next to Mei and squeeze in with her.

But Qiana somehow sat down next to Wang Xuanqiao - on the armrest of his sofa.

Wang Xuanqiao didn't seem to mind, and sat slightly to the side to make more room for Kiana. But Mei Lei, who witnessed all this, suddenly... her eyes changed!

——The author has something to say——

Also, is it time to prepare for [I can’t do anything]!

Volume 043: : The Bishop of Heaven's Destiny puts down his chess piece

"Kiana..."

Mei Raiden opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say for a moment.

Bronya gently tugged at the corner of her clothes from behind and shook her head at her.

Kiana finally realized what was happening, and she jumped up from the armrest as if she had received an electric shock. She wanted to pull Mei to sit down, but she felt something was wrong, so she simply went around to the other side to look for the girl.

What are you doing? Am I a fig leaf for your play? The girl experienced ups and downs in one day, and witnessed the joys and sorrows of others that she did not share. She may have stepped into the door of Buddhism before Kiana.

"By the way, I still don't know your name?" Kiana suddenly remembered that they had never asked the girl's name.

"...My name is Mansui."

Bronya looked at the girl with feeling, and suddenly felt as if she saw the passage of time.

After everyone was happy, Theresa and the others finalized the next action plan. They took Mansui out of Sky City and returned directly to Hyperion. Kiana also went with Theresa to go to Anti-Entropy.

Although Kiana really wanted Wang Xuanqiao to go to Hyperion with them, Wang Xuanqiao still had things to do and had to stay in Tiankong City at least tonight.

"It's okay. If you need anything, just call me on QQ." Wang Xuanqiao watched Kiana leave. Seeing her reluctant look, he smiled and waved his phone. "And there's your membership card. Remember to keep it with you."

Only then did Kiana leave with peace of mind.

Wang Xuanqiao lay on the balcony, watching the 'protagonists' hurriedly leave, his thoughts gradually shifting to what to do next.

What should you pay attention to when interacting with Kevin, the big boss of the World Snake?

Without further ado, let’s open the game and take a look!

"I'm in the third stage of Honkai Impact 3rd" is now open!

------

"The information you obtained is important, Rita."

At Tianming headquarters, Archbishop Otto was lying on a chair, looking completely relaxed.

"Your Excellency, regarding the intelligence fee that gentleman mentioned, how should we proceed?"

"There's no need to rush this matter." Otto narrowed his eyes slightly. "If you want to charge me, then I need to confirm how much I can take. If I give you too much, it won't be good for our friend."

"Understood, Your Excellency. Then, do you have any new targets for me to follow?"

"Let's continue with the original plan, Rita. Keep an eye on Shencheng Pharmaceutical and find out what's going on there."

After hanging up, Otto immediately initiated a new call. The recipient was Cocolia.

The screen beside him showed Cocolia's portrait, and the green icon indicating that the voice communication was connected lit up below.

"Should I say he's worthy of being the Bishop of Heaven's Destiny? He's actually able to relay the communication to me?"

Kokolia's voice sounded a little sharp, but to Otto's ears, it was just a cowardice that covered up the fear in her heart.

"If the situation is not urgent, I really don't want to use this expensive secret line, Cocolia." Otto smiled lightly.

"I paid a heavy price to contact you," he said. "If you can't bring me good news, I might lose everything this time."

"Oh? A dignified Archbishop of Heaven's Destiny actually needs to rely on his enemies?"

Cocolia took the opportunity to make a sarcastic remark, but Otto didn't care.

Just a chess piece, shouldn't her little thoughts be satisfied?

"We just have different perspectives. From the perspective of fighting Houkai, we can even be said to be the strongest allies, don't you think?"

"...So what exactly do you want to say?"

Otto glanced at Cocolia's portrait on the screen.

"I know you struck a deal with someone from the World Serpent. But sadly, your deal is over." He spoke in a relaxed, unhurried tone, "He has formed an alliance with another being far more powerful than you. You have been abandoned by the Serpent, Cocolia."

"Nonsense! Do you think I will believe your nonsense?"

But Kokolia's voice was not as harsh as what she said.

"There's no need for me to go to such a high price to deceive you." Otto's voice remained calm. "Didn't you receive the latest intelligence? A being so powerful beyond imagination appeared out of nowhere in Sky City tonight. In just a few minutes, he wiped out the herd of Honkai beasts entrenched in the surrounding area of Sky City, even causing the local Honkai energy index to fall below normal values."

Cocolia was silent.

"After that powerful being finished all this, the next step was to contact Shencheng Pharmaceuticals. That's the World Serpent's industry. As their business partner, you must know this, right?"

"...Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Otto laughed out loud.

"It's not what I want you to do, Kokolia," he said. "The question is—what can you do?"

Kokolia fell silent again.

"I'll share the intelligence I have with you, but it's up to you to decide how to proceed. I won't dictate anything. After all, we're still enemies, aren't we?"

"...I'm listening." Cocolia's momentum was completely gone compared to the beginning.

"Listen carefully. The World Serpent's goal is to open the gate of Haiyuan City to the Quantum Sea. They want to retrieve their Lord from the Quantum Sea. According to the original plan, the World Serpent needed to obtain Dr. Einstein's experimental records before opening the gate, but that being appeared out of nowhere and gave the World Serpent a completely new path."

"They no longer need a key to open the door. They can simply use a power beyond the comprehension of ordinary people to directly open the door and bring back the great figures of the Quantum Sea. By then, all your efforts will become insignificant. Do you understand?"

"Hmph...thank you for the reminder."

"Then I wish you good luck, Cocolia." Otto hung up the phone, and Cocolia's portrait instantly disappeared from the screen.

I have to say, she's a useful pawn. She keeps saying she cares about her daughter, yet she's willing to sacrifice anything. Her hands, long since nailed to the cross, are already full of holes, yet she still wants to hold onto something.

It was so sad. Otto stood up and walked slowly out of the house.

What will happen after taking this step?

Otto walked step by step to the window. The sunlight was shining brightly, framing the Tianming headquarters with a dazzling glow.

Will this gentleman once again demonstrate amazing supernatural powers, or... become a prey that falls into a trap?

The Archbishop of Heaven's Destiny chuckled softly.

------

In Haiyuan City, Cocolia's face was gloomy and uncertain. The sudden contact from the Bishop of Destiny disrupted all her plans. Although reason had been emphasizing that Otto was not trustworthy, the intelligence that Anti-Entropy had in its possession was not false.

There was indeed an individual who was so powerful that it defied common sense and appeared in Tianqiong City, and he did come to Shencheng Medicine.

The two sides may or may not have connected. If you think optimistically, the probability of each side is even 50-50, and there is an equal chance of anything happening.

But Cocolia could only see the successful half of the connection, because she knew she had never truly grasped the lifeblood of the World Serpent. On the contrary, without the identity of the World Serpent stationed in Haiyuan City, she might become worthless.

Cocolia was well aware of the World Serpent's infiltration of Anti-Entropy. It was only because she happened to be in this position that she had the capital to trade with the World Serpent.

If the other party really finds a way to bypass Haiyuan City...

No! I won't let that happen!

Cocolia hardened her heart and began to mobilize all the troops at hand to raise the alert level of Haiyuan City to the highest level.

But this was not enough. If the enemy was truly as powerful as the intelligence described, the force in his hands would not be enough to confront him.
