Why are all the people in my chat group rumored to be from the outside world?

Chapter 62 World Serpent Joins

The headquarters of Destiny.

Otto watched Durandalya walk towards him step by step, and said with a hint of surprise, "This is quite rare. I didn't expect that even our Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie would fail this time?"

"It seems those World Serpents are indeed extraordinary."

Durandal stared at Otto in front of her, as if trying to see through him.

However, Otto's expression didn't change at all. He asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

"...The target of this mission is not the World Serpent you mentioned, Bishop. They are the heroes who saved Changkong City."

“Hero…” A playful smile appeared on Otto’s face.

"Yes, they are indeed heroes. They are all outstanding and worthy of our learning. It was fate that wronged them. But fortunately, we did not make any irreparable mistakes, don't you think, Durandal?"

Durandal didn't respond; she stared at the clown in front of her who always wore a mask.

"During the mission, my Valkyrie Armor, Luna Soul, malfunctioned. It has never had such a problem before, except during this mission."

Durandal's words seemed to make Otto realize the seriousness of the matter. He frowned: "You haven't used Moonsoul much lately, how could there be a problem?"

Otto sighed.

"Looks like there's a bad guy in the equipment department."

Durandal clenched her fists tightly. As the armored Luna Kindred, the strongest S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal, very few people could touch it, and those who could touch it must be related to the bishop in front of her.

The atmosphere seemed to have changed.

However, Otto seemed oblivious to Durandal's unusual behavior, and a smile returned to his face.

"By the way, although I'm a little sorry, there's another Honkai phenomenon in an area. The concentration of Honkai energy is very high, and there might be some high-risk Honkai Beasts appearing there. I'd like to ask you to go there."

After saying that, Otto shook his head and sighed, "The Honkai phenomenon is becoming more and more frequent, and we need more and more manpower. Even I, the bishop, haven't had a rest for several days."

After expressing his feelings, Otto looked at Durandal.

"So, do you want to rest, or do you want to continue with the mission?"

"...I'm going to carry out the mission."

“Excellent, this is the strongest Valkyrie of our Destiny.”

"Durandal, it is thanks to you that Schicksal was able to spare manpower to save more people from the Honkai."

"Even without me, there will still be people who stand up and fight for this world, for this tomorrow."

"Hehe, you're right."

-

"Is it delicious? Mei prepared this especially for you."

"Delicious, so delicious."

Seeing Kiana shedding tears of happiness, Yu Jin nodded in satisfaction.

The people standing to the side looked at Ember, who was teasing the fool, with expressions of disgust on their faces.

They're already naive, and you're still teasing them. You're really something.

Noticing everyone's gaze, Kiana even shielded her lunchbox behind her back, as if afraid it would be snatched away.

"This was prepared by Mei for me, it's none of your business."

Haha, even if you offer it to us, we won't eat it.

"Thank you all for your help to my daughter. Ryoma expresses his gratitude to you all." Raiden Ryoma bowed deeply to Kevin and the others.

He already knew the whole story, and if it weren't for the people in front of him, the consequences would probably have been the worst possible outcome.

"Since we're going to express our gratitude, shouldn't we do something to show our sincerity?" Xing said, hands on her hips, reaching out her hand.

Raiden Ryoma paused slightly as he looked at the hand reaching out to him.

"What?" Xing's hand waved.

"Aren't you going to thank us? Let's get down to something practical."

“Indeed, we risked our lives to rescue your daughter from the terrifying Cocolia and gave her the final piece of the puzzle. Now she has everything she needs, and you should thank us properly.” The doctor also reached out his hand to ask for it.

“Equivalent exchange—as a former leader of a large company, you must understand this better than we do,” Ai Ge said with a smile.

"Give them something, otherwise these guys won't let it go," Kevin suggested.

"Sigh, if you don't have money, your daughter isn't actually..."

"No!" x2

Raiden Ryoma and Kiana shouted at the same time, interrupting Ember's words.

After saying this, Raiden Ryoma coughed lightly.

"Don't laugh at me, but Ryoma can't offer anything of great value right now. But believe me, I will definitely find a way to make it up to you later."

In the end, Raiden Ryoma felt he had gotten something for nothing, so he added, "Um, is there anything you need? Apart from my daughter, I will try my best to satisfy you."

Ember: "Hmph! A man who holds grudges."

Don't you know why I'm holding a grudge?

"Oh, by the way, if I may ask, what do you think about your daughter becoming the Third Herrscher?"

The question from Ember made Raiden Ryoma turn his gaze to Raiden Mei, and he sighed, "Actually, I had already anticipated this day and was mentally prepared..."

Before Raiden Ryoma could say anything, Ember stopped him with a gesture.

"Okay, that's enough."

Xing: "I don't particularly want to listen to old men spouting nonsense."

Ai Ge chuckled and said, "You can tell your daughter about it when you and your father are alone together."

"Some of my friends aren't very good at talking, please don't mind them," the doctor said with a hint of embarrassment.

"What the hell are you pretending to be so magnanimous for? Just now in the chat group, weren't you saying things like, 'Here we go again, are you going to hear old men's lamentations again?'" Yu Jin and Xing, one grabbing him, the other picking up a stick and striking him.

Hearing the doctor's incessant screams, Kevin chose to remain silent.

That was what he wanted to say.

"Thank goodness the doctor spoke up early, thank you, doctor."

After finishing with the doctor, Ember looked at Raiden Mei.

Are you ready for your true awakening?

Raiden Mei nodded seriously.

Just then, the door was suddenly opened, and Dr. Lan and Dr. Hong walked in.

Tesla's signature voice came through: "What are you planning to do?"

"Let's do it this way." Ember pointed upwards.

"Take her to a place higher than the clouds, and let her absorb the Honkai energy that remains above the clouds."

Lisser's voice took on a slightly serious tone: "But if we do that, it might cause her to lose control."

"Raiden Mei is able to maintain her rationality, perhaps only because her energy is insufficient to support its awakening. Once she has absorbed all of it, she may become the embodiment of Honkai."

"Don't worry, if she encounters that situation, I won't show any mercy." Xing gave a thumbs up.

"You might not know what an incarnation of Honkai is..."

"If that happens, we'll beat her to death."

Ember interrupted Lisser.

Facing the two doctors and the Thunder Dragon Horse, Yu Jin put his hands on his hips and laughed, "Alright, be content. At least we're here to back you up. She'll have to face this sooner or later."

"When we leave, who will take care of us? It'll be that white-haired uncle hiding in the shadows."

"It's still that guy who's been spying on us."

Ember pointed out the two individuals that Dr. Kamaitachi had detected.

Yu Jin spread his hands.

"Alright, that's settled then. Let's begin."

Just then, the door suddenly opened, and a figure bowed slightly in the direction Kevin was.

"Everyone... perhaps I can offer you some assistance."

The gray snake said this...

Chapter 63 Gray Snake: I can't tell the difference!

Who are you?

There are so many people around, why are you bowing to me instead of bowing to them?

Even Kevin could tell at a glance that the person who suddenly walked into the house had come prepared.

"Hey, who are you?" Tesla and the others from Anti-Entropy looked warily at the guy in front of them who looked like he was not someone to mess with.

Just as Gray Serpent was about to reveal his identity and purpose and elevate his status, Ember spoke first.

"Grey Serpent, one of the World Serpent's executives, speak up and state your purpose. Forget the riddles and all that, just tell us what kind of help you can provide us."

Ember and the others had actually anticipated the appearance of the Grey Serpent. When Durandal revealed that they were from the World Serpent, Ember had already guessed that something like this would probably happen.

After all... Kevin is different.

Even Grey Serpent was slightly taken aback when faced with Ember, who directly exposed his identity and asked what help he could offer.

His gaze unconsciously fell on Kevin, as if seeking instructions, but soon, as if realizing something, he quickly looked away.

"Why is this person looking at me?" Kevin wondered.

Gray Serpent was also somewhat annoyed. As someone who was extremely skilled at gathering intelligence, he finally realized that the other party was not the one he was looking for after being watched for 24 hours.

He considered himself cold-blooded enough, but when he saw that face, he couldn't help but identify with that person.

"He is not him!"

Reaffirming his resolve, Gray Serpent looked at Ember, who seemed to know a great deal.

"It seems you know something about the World Serpent."

Yu Jin nodded.

“Oh, Kevin told me that.”

Gray Snake suddenly turned its gaze to Kevin, but seeing Kevin's puzzled look, Gray Snake once again looked away with difficulty.

"Sir, please don't joke around. I sincerely want to offer you assistance."

"Ah, I wasn't joking. Alicia said so too."

Now, Gray Snake's gaze was fixed on Kevin.

"Impossible! He clearly... he should... could it be... there's something wrong with my eyes, and he is..."

The gray snake was now caught in a mental storm.

"Okay, just kidding. Hasn't Wilvi ever joked with you like this before?" Yu Jin asked, looking puzzled.

Gray Snake's brain had shut down; he couldn't tell the difference, he really couldn't tell the difference!

What is true? What is false?

That standing there is clearly the Lord!

Just as the gray snake was about to offer its loyalty.

"Alright, let's stop talking about such boring topics, Gray Serpent." Kevin stepped forward, his tone colder than usual.

"Don't forget what the World Serpent is supposed to do."

Now who can tell the difference?

The gray snake, which had almost offered its loyalty, bowed slightly to Kevin.
