Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

Therefore, we must rely on other forces, such as the mighty power of the world that humans cannot reach!

After pondering for a moment, Cocolia quickly adjusted her demeanor and initiated a communication request to Hyperion.

Since all of this concerns you, then contribute your strength to it! St. Freya Academy, and Dr. Einstein.

——The author has something to say——

I'm a little anxious to see Ai Li_(:з)∠)_

So answer me! Alcia! (crackling voice)

Volume 044: : Anti-Entropy Internal Infighting

After a long absence, Kiana returned to the Hyperion, but she felt that the atmosphere here was a little off.

The two doctors of Anti-Entropy were having a video call with Cocolia, and the situation was tense. If Theresa hadn't just returned, anyone could see that they were almost on the verge of a falling out.

"Who would ask for help with such an attitude and even dare to say that if anything goes wrong, the responsibility is on us?"

Dr. Tesla almost pointed at Cocolia's nose and cursed her.

"If you're truly concerned about counter-entropy, you shouldn't have so many questions. I told you the situation is urgent, yet you're still thinking of engaging with them? There's a limit to conservatism. Do you really have to wait until they invade Haiyuan City before you regret it?"

Theresa frowned at Cocolia's aggressive attitude. She quietly signaled to Kiana to hide so she wouldn't be seen by Cocolia.

Then Theresa stepped forward and joined the heated conversation.

"what's going on?"

"Theresa? You're just in time! Cocolia said she received intelligence that the mysterious powerful figure who appeared in Sky City has reached a deal with the World Serpent. They are about to invade Haiyuan City and destroy the Quantum Sea defense line we have built."

Dr. Tesla explained to her.

"I only demand one answer: the source of your intelligence." Dr. Einstein stared at Cocolia. "You consistently evade questions about such a sensitive topic. We have every reason to suspect there's something fishy going on between you and the World Serpent."

"You don't need to question my loyalty to the Anti-Entropy faith," Cocolia sneered. "As for the source of the intelligence, that's something that needs to be kept secret. If you simply refuse to believe me, I only ask whether you can assume responsibility for the fall of Haiyuan City."

Haiyuan City...this name sounds familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere just now?

Theresa recalled for a moment and her expression suddenly changed.

It's Wang Xuanqiao! He said he's heading to Haiyuan City after tonight, and there's a chance he might cause damage?! Could it be...

Cocolia saw every change in her expression.

"It seems that Ms. Theresa, who went to Sky City to investigate, also knows something?"

How could Cocolia miss this opportunity? She took advantage of Theresa's strange behavior and continued to attack her.

Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla also subconsciously cast glances at her. Although they didn't question her, it was obvious that they wanted to know the details.

"Cocolia, you just said that the mysterious strong man who appeared in Sky City reached a deal with the World Serpent, and they are going to invade Haiyuan City?"

Theresa's thoughts raced, and she repeated what she had heard to buy more time to think.

"That's right. They came here for the Quantum Sea Gate hidden in Haiyuan City. I think the two doctors know better than I do what's behind that thing. Do I have to cite the sacrifice made by the leader of the alliance for you to wake up?"

"whispering sound!"

Dr. Tesla couldn't help but spit, and Dr. Einstein's face turned gloomy.

Theresa saw all of this and was anxious. But she found herself unable to speak up for Wang Xuanqiao, because everything he said and did confirmed Cocolia's intelligence.

How can this be explained? Is Wang Xuanqiao actually a good person who helped Kiana and Mansui? Or did he help Anti-Entropy thwart the conspiracy arranged by the World Serpent?

The former's identity is already sensitive, while the latter's credibility is completely lacking before it happens. Speaking out at this time will only arouse more suspicion!

"...Could there be some misunderstanding?" Theresa had to take a roundabout approach.

"Ms. Theresa! I now suspect you've had contact with that person." Cocolia continued to pursue her relentlessly, her tone sharp as if she was the master of this place. "Did that mysterious powerful man tell you personally that he didn't make a deal with the World Serpent and that he wouldn't attack Haiyuan City?"

Theresa was suddenly speechless.

"Alright, Cocolia."

It was Dr. Einstein who took over the topic in time.

"No matter what the truth is, Haiyuan City cannot afford to lose. We accept your request for assistance and hope you can properly organize the defense before we arrive."

"I will, Dr. Einstein." Cocolia said, "I will be loyal to my duties until the very end. I hope you will also live up to Anti-Entropy."

After the call was disconnected, Dr. Tesla stomped his feet hard on the floor.

"Chicken Coop Hair! Do you really believe Cocolia's nonsense?" Her tone of indignation was so intense that she was almost grinding her teeth.

"Believe it or not, Cocolia is right about one thing. If Haiyuan City really falls, we will all be in vain for Walter's sacrifice," Dr. Einstein said calmly. "Ms. Theresa, we need the intelligence you have now."

Hearing this, Theresa sighed softly and nodded.

"We had a conversation with the mysterious powerful man who appeared in Tianqiong City." She cleared her throat and recounted everything she had seen and heard in Tianqiong City.

After listening to Theresa's description, the two doctors' expressions eased a lot, but they still looked bad.

"At present, we can only conclude that Mr. Wang Xuanqiao is not a bad person, but judging by the fact that he was able to reach a deal with Gray Snake, we cannot put too much trust in him," said Dr. Einstein.

"To put it bluntly, such a powerful individual can easily be deluded by their own power and lose their reverence for humanity. We truly cannot gamble on this person's moral values and must be prepared to respond."

The decisive Dr. Tesla immediately built a defense plan in her mind, and it was obvious that she was ready to engage in direct combat.

Seeing this, Theresa was about to say something, but she heard Kiana's voice suddenly.

"The store manager is not that kind of person."

Kiana came out from the corner. To Theresa's surprise, she didn't show any anxiety at all, but instead a calm determination.

"Kiana?"

The two doctors were somewhat surprised by her immediate appearance. Although they had made optimistic predictions for this intelligence transaction, they were certainly not optimistic enough to be able to bring her back directly.

"Two doctors, please listen to me. The store manager is by no means a man without reverence. It was he who helped me understand the causal relationship between myself and the Herrscher of the Void, enabling me to overcome my past fears. He is the only one who sees the whole me."

Mei Raiden, who was listening quietly, was planning to come forward to smooth things over before Kiana said something wrong, but now she felt her heart suddenly tighten, and she didn't know whether the feeling was sour or painful.

Kiana...how could this happen...

No... that's not right...

Kiana, looking like this, has clearly become more mature. I should be happy... I should be happy...

But why do I feel this way?

Bronya, standing beside her, also had a gloomy look in her eyes because of Cocolia's situation. The two of them sat side by side in the corner, their emotions mixed, and they said nothing.

Einstein and Tesla listened carefully to Kiana's explanation to Wang Xuanqiao.

"I understand how you feel, Kiana," Dr. Einstein spoke first. "Given your account, I'm willing to believe the manager you're talking about. However, what he's about to do directly conflicts with what we stand for. I hope you can understand."

"There's no other way, Kiana," Dr. Tesla chimed in. "The situation in Haiyuan City is of great importance, and we must be prepared for any developments. However, since Mr. Wang Xuanqiao isn't a bad guy, we can talk to him in Haiyuan City and see if we can resolve this conflict peacefully."

"I understand." Kiana nodded gently, "The manager is here to help the world defeat Houkai. I believe in him!"

"Sigh. Honestly, judging by his performance in Sky City, he could eliminate the devastation affecting the entire world in just one day." Dr. Tesla couldn't help but grab his hair. "Why did he have to go to Abyss City?"

"Perhaps it's because his understanding of Honkai surpasses ours." Dr. Einstein clasped his chest with one hand and gently supported his chin with the other. "But this also means we must reach Haiyuan City as soon as possible."

"At least, before Cocolia makes things irreconcilable."

In the starry night, Hyperion turned its bow and headed towards the Pacific Ocean.

11°20.9'N, 142°11.5'E......

——The author has something to say——

I feel like the number of people who have read this book has reached a bottleneck, and it has been hovering around 370 for the past two days. I'm thinking about whether to add more chapters to see if we can break through 400 soon.

Volume 045: : Holding an umbrella is the Gray Snake's persistence

The night was deep, and even a huge city like Sky City with its bright lights seemed to be falling into a deep sleep.

Wang Xuanqiao was lying alone on the sofa in his rental house. His phone was almost as hot as a roasted sweet potato, but he continued to rub the screen without caring, controlling the Valkyrie to conquer the next story level after another.

It was not until he read the original story that Wang Xuanqiao understood what kind of storm this "butterfly" of his had stirred up.

Apart from anything else, at least the last Herrscher of the Three Great Houses will most likely be squeezed out by his own actions.

Although others often boasted that Li Lu was a disgraceful Herrscher whose entire talent lay in "Yang Sit-ups," it was still his natural opportunity. Wang Xuanqiao pondered, "Why not just throw Bronya into the Quantum Sea myself?"

Forget it. The situations were completely different each time. If I really threw someone in there, I couldn't say if I could get out like in the original. Besides, Kiana would definitely make trouble if she saw me.

However, if [Fate] has chosen Bronya to become the Herrscher of Reason...

Wang Xuanqiao recalled that when he tried to tamper with the fate of certain people in the reincarnation space, even with the help of so-called "foreknowledge" to exclude certain conditions, cause and effect could still correct the fallacy.

Of course, at that time, my strength hadn't yet grown to the point where I could defy fate. If I hadn't accidentally met that god during a mission later, I probably wouldn't have known this.

Destiny isn't a machine that runs along a predetermined path. It's just a hope, good or bad. If you want to change someone's fate, either let the hope be shattered or you bear the consequences. But how do you do that?

“It depends on the person.”

Wang Xuanqiao muttered to himself.

"Ah, I have enough crystals, let me try drawing one." He finished another chapter of the plot, exited from the chapter, and saw that his currency had just reached 2,800, so he excitedly plunged into the card pool.

Although many people in this game emphasize that they should make a card drawing plan and stockpile crystals to enter the card pool in a targeted manner to be cost-effective, Wang Xuanqiao feels that as a newbie, it is useless to make a plan, so he might as well get some guaranteed points from the novice pool.

Just as I said the guaranteed price, it was shipped immediately - the Herrscher of Life and Death, a very cute girl.

"It's time to draw equipment." Wang Xuanqiao glanced at Kiana with pigtails on the bridge and lightly tapped the bubble.

"Captain, can you give me a bowl of your braised pork~"

No wonder you bet me on eating braised pork. Wang Xuanqiao couldn’t help but laugh.

A night of wind and rain ended with the rising sun the next day. Tianming Headquarters greeted the sunset, while the Shenzhou sky watched the sunrise. The light alternated with the rotation of the planets, just as usual.

Wang Xuanqiao, who spent a whole night playing "Honkai Impact 3rd", pushed the plot to the end of Sky Meteor and lamented that he had ruined another highlight of the original plot.

But it doesn’t matter if she’s gone, because Kiana, this already carved jade, will never lack a stage to shine.

At this time, the gray snake came to the door.

"Good morning, it's not easy to find you." He still held the umbrella, even though he was almost stuck outside the door and couldn't get in.

This may be the gray snake's persistence, Wang Xuanqiao can only express his respect and blessing.

"Where is Haiyuan City located?"

"I've brought it." Gray Snake took out a terminal that looked like a brick. "Also, I'd like to ask my colleague the Jackal if she can come down now?"

"I didn't say no." Wang Xuanqiao took the terminal and glanced at the location marked on the map. It was exactly the same as the coordinates announced by Cocolia in the game.

"Okay, I know where it is." Wang Xuanqiao put the terminal down, stood up, and put his phone in his pocket. "Do you need me to wait for you there?"

"Please be patient," Gray Snake bowed slightly. "Besides the precise location of Haiyuan City, I actually brought you some less than ideal news. You may know that people always like to write loyalty into their stories, but carve their history with betrayal."

"The news that you are going to Haiyuan City has been known to Cocolia, who is currently guarding Haiyuan City. She has summoned all the forces of Anti-Entropy and is preparing to fight you in Haiyuan City."

"Really? I remember Cocolia was your informant in Anti-Entropy." Wang Xuanqiao glanced at the gray snake. "Could it be that you can't control her anymore?"

"Your intelligence network really caught me off guard." A low laugh came from under the Gray Snake's mask. "Cocolia and I did have some business dealings. But now, she is obviously not very happy about my cooperation with you. As for who leaked the information to Cocolia..."

"It can't be from St. Freya Academy. Their reaction alone won't be enough to catch up." Wang Xuanqiao blinked, and the answer came to his mind.

"It can only be Otto," he sneered. "It seems the Bishop of Heaven's Fate isn't someone who easily accepts his fate. But he's also right. He even dared to resurrect the Herrscher. Perhaps there's nothing in this world he wouldn't dare to do."

"Your information is of some value. But it's not enough to save the Jackal. After all she did, I was very merciful in just hanging her in the Shencheng Medical Center."

Wang Xuanqiao walked to the balcony and took off his glasses.

"Then - see you in Haiyuan City."

As the words fell, Gray Snake saw a streak of light shooting straight into the sky from before his eyes. It was as if he had instantly merged into the sun, leaving no trace of him.

Jackal, it seems you can only hope for the best. Gray Snake shrugged slightly and left with the umbrella, but was stuck by the door frame again.

Turn back the clock and go back to an earlier time...

Hyperion rushed to Haiyuan City overnight, and the group hurried into the fortress in the darkness of dawn. Only a small number of people stayed on the warship, including Kiana.

Theresa and the two doctors agreed that Cocolia's credibility was not enough for her to bear such a secret.

It would also be a good opportunity to create the illusion that they haven't found the Herrscher of the Void yet, and perhaps it could even be a surprise attack to strike back fiercely at those who harbored ulterior motives.
