I was transported to a broken world, yet my dreams are connected to Star Iron?

　"I'm telling you, you never learn from your mistakes..."

　Lingmo looked somewhat speechless: "Since I can control your Titan and your clone incubation chamber, why do you think I can't control your base terminal?"

　"From the moment the plane landed, you had no secrets from me, such as... the information about the World Serpent that you were trying so hard to cover up."

　"..."

　After a long silence, Cocolia sighed and raised her hand.

　“I accept whatever you decide to do with me… However, my children are innocent, please do not harm them.”

　"Don't worry, we're not as ruthless as you."

　Tesla scoffed, "To improve their combat power, they'd even go so far as to clone the Alliance Leader... Hmph."

　"?"

　Several question marks seemed to appear above Cocolia's head.

　"No, I've tolerated you saying I split Entropy, formed cliques for personal gain, and even that I conducted human experiments... Clone Alliance Leader?"

　Cocolia pointed at Suzumo, her nose almost crooked with anger.

　"Then tell me, what is this little girl? Huh? The leader of the clone alliance... Didn't you guys do that too?"

　"Me... me?"

　Lingmo blinked.

　"Who else could it be! Tesla, let me tell you, what I just said was directed at you! If you dare lay a hand on my daughters, I'll haunt you even in death!"

　"Huh? Why would I lay a hand on your daughter?"

　Tesla, who was initially quite angry, was suddenly stunned by Cocolia's question.

　"Huh? Everyone in Anti-Entropy knows you like the Alliance Leader!"

　Cocolia said with an air of reason and evidence, "Didn't you specifically adjust the clone of the Alliance Leader to look like this, the one that best suits your XP, during the cloning process? You dead lolicon, you've fulfilled two wishes at once, haven't you!"

　"Pfft...cough cough, Tesla, I wasn't laughing...pfft, hahaha, sorry, I really couldn't help it."

　Ai Yin, standing to the side, watched Tesla turn red rapidly before her very eyes, her shoulders twitching as she tried to suppress her laughter, but she simply couldn't hold it in.

　"Cocolia, you ***, I'll *** you ***!"

　Whether out of embarrassment or embarrassment, Tesla unleashed a string of beautiful anti-entropy slang at a speed that left Suzumo speechless.

　"Alas, what a pity... If I had known Cocolia possessed such extraordinary wisdom, I wouldn't have let Welt block the bridge outside. Perhaps we could have broken through this barrier..."

　Lingmo said to Aiyin with considerable regret.

　"Don't worry, there will be opportunities, but for now, let's not provoke our Dr. Lobster."

　Ai Yin was still trying her best to control her facial expressions.

　Chapter 102 Kevin: You're saying Suzuma is actually a Herrscher? Then that makes sense!

　Several kilometers away from where Suzumo and the others were located, in a secluded stronghold.

　Gray Serpent slowly lowered the observation device in its hand and directly executed the destruction procedure on the other end of the terminal.

　Simply put, for a Herrscher of Corruption, such contact is far too risky, so some caution is necessary.

　"Is the observation complete?"

　"Yes, done. Raven, keep watch around."

　The gray snake said without even looking up.

　"Eh?"

　"I need to contact the Lord immediately."

　"Contact me immediately?"

　Raven was taken aback: "Surely not... Can't we contact them back at base? Here, aside from the risk of being discovered, the portable communicator that Jackal made is only one set, and it's incredibly valuable. Isn't it a bit wasteful to use it like this?"

　“It is a waste if something cannot play its due role at the right time.”

　Gray Snake casually gestured to the side of the area and said, "This is your patrol area. Before I end the communication, I need you to guarantee that no one will enter the area."

　"Okay, okay... Remember to pay me overtime."

　The raven sighed, and its figure vanished instantly, leaving only a few red feathers behind.

　After the ravens had completely disappeared, Gray Snake began to adjust the equipment and waited patiently.

　A moment later... a muffled sound came from the other end of the terminal, along with a blurry white-haired figure that looked as if it had been slapped with a doorknob.

　"Lord."

　The gray snake immediately bowed respectfully.

　"What is it? It shouldn't be time for the next communication yet, right? Too much communication will disrupt the stability of the world bubble. I remember telling you that."

　"My lord, there has been new progress regarding Miss Suzumo."

　"explain."

　This time, Kevin no longer emphasized the issue of communication.

　“I have observed Miss Suzuma’s battles and her recent performances in detail and have confirmed some things.”

　"First of all, Miss Suzuma should have the ability to turn souls into Stigmata, and of course, it may not be limited to souls. The beings that she turns into Stigmata will exist in her body in some magical way and briefly take over the control of her body."

　"Just as I thought... no wonder she appeared on Suzuma."

　On the other end of the communication, Kevin let out a soft sigh.

　"In addition, Miss Suzumo does possess some incomprehensible magical powers, the origin of which is unknown, the conditions of which are unknown, and they may not even be repeatable. With the help of Raven, I tried to collect some of them and concluded that these things have nothing to do with the previous civilization."

　"If Your Majesty is still worried, I can personally go to the Land of Bliss to find it..."

　"Need not."

　Kevin briefly interrupted Gray Snake: "Let's move on to the next one."

　"Okay, finally, in my observations over the past few days, I discovered that Miss Suzuma seems to possess the power of the Herrscher of Corruption."

　The gray serpent paused, then said, "Lord, I remember you suggested that I contact Suzuma to assess her attitude towards the Honkai and try to invite her to join World Serpent..."

　“If Miss Suzuma is indeed the Herrscher of Corruption, then this act will be incredibly risky. I am not afraid of death, but if the other party harbors ill will towards us, the entire World Serpent could be destroyed as a result…”

　"You mean... besides possessing Aili's Stigmata, she's also a Herrscher? Or even the Herrscher of Corruption?"

　Somewhat to Gray Snake's surprise, Kevin didn't seem to listen to his long speech.

　"Yes, Lord."

　"That's right. Let's invite her to join World Serpent directly. After she joins, we'll train her according to the procedures for cadres."

　"Okay... Ah? Your Majesty, is it really necessary..."

　"Execute the order, but don't force her; let her make her own choice."

　"Yes, I obey."

　……

　Half a day later.

　"Hey, Mr. Walter, you finally have some free time?"

　"Yes, taking over Cocolia's troops, cleaning up those guys on the list, and stabilizing the situation inside Anti-Entropy... it's already pretty good that they can finish it in half a day. The two of them are still busy."

　Walter yawned, looking like he was about to collapse from exhaustion: "Thanks to you, you called me out, giving me some time to rest... So, what's up?"

　“There are indeed a few things, let’s talk about them one by one… First, there’s Cocolia. I’ve already planted the corrosive power in her body, so I can probably control her body at any time if I want to.”

　"I believe you know more about the subsequent procedures for dealing with the radicals than I do, so I won't get involved. Just let me know if you need me... Although I personally think that Cocolia won't dare to cause any more trouble."

　"Don't worry, Ain and the others have already figured out a solution for Cocolia... Anything else?"

　"And then there's the matter concerning St. Freya."

　Lingmo sighed: "After this anti-entropy invasion incident, Otto will most likely be paying close attention to me... After all, he can probably also see that my strength is improving much faster than he imagined."

　"So, to prevent St. Freya Academy from spawning blond little boys every day during this period, I plan to go out and lay low for a while before coming back."

　"Walk away the limelight? Hmm, that's certainly not a problem. But where do you plan to go?"

　Walter had no objection to Lingmo's plan; in fact, he shared the same view. After all, Otto wasn't so easy to kill, and he had almost no morals. What if this guy really sent a blond boy or girl to infiltrate St. Freya Academy and followed him and Lingmo around calling them "uncle" and "sister" every day...

　Just thinking about it gave Walter goosebumps.

　"I've already made my choice, Oceania it is."

　Lingmo smiled and said the location she had planned long ago: "Beautiful scenery, pleasant climate, and you can even go out and box with kangaroos."

　You can even see wild Wendy baring her teeth... Lingmo added the last half of the sentence in her mind.

　"Okay, so you want to go over there and check on the progress of that artificial Herrscher project that craves gems, right?"

　To Lingmo's surprise, Walter actually revealed her plan directly.

　“That’s easy to arrange. Anti-Entropy has some connections over there. I’ll talk to her and arrange for you to be by Wendy’s side to take care of her.”

　"?"

　Lingmo slowly typed out a question mark.

　No, dude, if you hadn't told me, I would have thought this was St. Freya.

　Although Oceania is relatively small, Wendy's branch is considered the main branch of Destiny in that region. How come Lao Yang described it as as simple as writing an internship report for a friend's company?

　"Um... if I may ask, Mr. Walter, what are our connections there...?"

　"It will be kept secret for now."

　Walter gave a mysterious smile: "Although you don't know this person, you should have heard of her name."

　"Anyway, you'll know when the time comes."

　Chapter 103 Ellie: Giving My Past Self a Little Public Loudspeaker Shock

　After giving Walter her instructions, Suzumo returned to her room and skillfully locked the door.

　There was no other reason than that she hadn't slept for two days and needed to catch up on sleep quickly before heading back to the Star Iron Studios on the other side.

　However, before heading to Xingtie's place, Suzuma had one last thing to take care of...

　"This thing... looks suspicious no matter how you look at it."

　Lingmo tossed a memory card in her hand and fell into deep thought.

　This was something she found in Cocolia's lab, but she didn't hand it over to Anti-Entropy.

　The main reason was that she felt this memory card might have been left specifically for her by Gray Snake.

　As for why she dared to make such a judgment... the answer is, of course, because she had already seen what was on the card beforehand.

　All I can say is... it's very suspicious.

　Using the card reader she had just found, she inserted the memory card and plugged it into the computer. Immediately, a compressed file appeared on the terminal in front of Lingmo.

　For the Herrscher of Corruption, Suzumo naturally didn't need to worry about viruses when downloading these resources. After decompression, Suzumo's terminal automatically redirected to a website.

　"Golden Courtyard Tenant Recruitment... Ha, does Mebius know that the Grey Serpent uses this as a camouflage website for the World Serpent?"

　Upon seeing the familiar title screen on the website, Lingmo chuckled and quickly took a screenshot.

　One more piece of material threatening the gray snake.

　"But... how did Grey Serpent come up with the idea of ​​recruiting me? I haven't been in his sights much, have I? Could it be that he confirmed my identity as the Herrscher of Corruption through Cocolia, so he's planning to recruit me? But that makes even less sense. If I wanted to harm World Serpent, a mechanical life form like Grey Serpent wouldn't even have a chance to resist..."

　"Unless... this is Kevin's doing... but how did Kevin know about me, based on Gray Serpent's intelligence?"

　Feeling that a link in her information chain was inexplicably missing, Lingmo scratched her head in confusion.

　"Hmm... never mind, let's avoid contact with the Gray Serpent for now. Their intentions are unclear, and I'm planning to go to Oceania next. I don't have time to fight on three fronts here, but..."

　Although she doesn't intend to accept Gray Serpent's invitation, it doesn't mean that Suzuma won't contact World Serpent; she just doesn't want to join World Serpent.

　After all, the World Serpent at this time did not have Kevin's direct leadership. Not only were there a lot of problem children, but there was also a jackal who was suitable for further training at St. Elizabeth Hospital. Suzumo had just dealt with the snorting Cocolia and did not want to provoke another snorting jackal so soon.
