Their commission was suspicious.

"Oh... um?" Chen Luo turned around and glanced back halfway away.

"hiss……"

It really does look like the human form of the Armored Doll Bella.

【I understand. Bellenas belongs to Sirin, Kurikara belongs to Mei, but Sirin and Mei are both yours, so Bella is yours. That's why you've met Bella now!】

"Emmm... Anyway, good luck." Chen Luo clenched his fist at Bella.

“Yes.” Bella nodded excitedly.

While holding Bella, Chen Luo thought he might be able to explain Bella's thoughts to Xilin, and at the same time, he sensed the teleportation anchor point held by Xing and prepared to teleport.

"Help...help me..."

But Chen Luo suddenly heard a very weak voice.

Chen Luo suddenly looked up at the sky.

It's not the sound of this world bubble, but... the world consciousness.

Oh my god, something's wrong with the world consciousness of the Honkai world?

"What's wrong with you? Don't scare me! Say something!"

Give me, give me just a little... the sweet... nectar of salvation...

“Redemption Dew? Oh, you mean the Salvation Points, right? Wait a minute, right away…” Chen Luo was indeed frightened when he heard the weak voice of the world consciousness.

What sins has the world consciousness suffered to become like this?

"Xiao Luo." Genyuan suddenly appeared beside Chen Luo.

"what happened?"

"The most important thing for the savior when venturing out is to be careful not to be deceived by those world consciousnesses and lose the Dew of Salvation. Those world consciousnesses are very cunning, just like now." After pretending to straighten Chen Luo's collar, Root pointed to the sky with his finger.

"Huh?" Chen Luo was taken aback and looked up suspiciously.

"Is it lying to me? But its listlessness doesn't seem to be an act."

"It doesn't look weak and listless at all. This is a normal phenomenon after taking the Elixir of Redemption," Genyuan explained.

"Just as people who practice martial arts regularly will have some hidden injuries, the world will inevitably suffer some damage as it develops. The Dew of Redemption is one of the most effective ways to repair the world's damage. It is also the most comfortable way, without exception," the Root said.

"Auntie, why didn't you remind me sooner?"

"How was I supposed to know that the salvation points you mentioned were the Dew of Redemption?" Genyuan blinked innocently.

If Genyuan had known earlier that the Salvation Points were the nectar of redemption, there would have been no need for the world consciousness of the Collapsed World to deceive Chen Luo. They would have kept the benefits within the family and deceived him themselves.

“Then what is this…” Chen Luo pointed to the sky.

“For a human, it would be like soaking in a hot spring all night. The person would be so soaked that they wouldn’t have the strength to speak. And if I’m not mistaken, at least half of your drop of nectar of salvation was absorbed by it, with only a small portion remaining on this world,” the Origin said.

"How old are you? Why are you still competing with the world for salvation points?" Chen Luo looked at the sky with some disdain.

"This world is too small; so much nectar of salvation is useless."

I bet its next line will be: "I was just keeping it safe for it."

"Besides, I'm just keeping it safe."

"Tch, all parents are the same," Chen Luo said disdainfully.

"..." Genyuan glanced at Chen Luo, then at Luo Li, who had come to see Chen Luo because he had reminded her that Chen Luo had entered the second stage of the Seed of Transcendence... and then turned his head away somewhat guiltily.

I don't know if all parents are generally ruthless, but I know you're in trouble.

The last person who dared to speak ill of Luo Li to her face is now buried under grass taller than your World Tree.

Chapter 2201 Star: I've been glanced at by Nanuk, and you, Grand Duke of Hellfire, probably have too, right?

"Uh, I don't think I've disturbed you, have I?" Chen Luo poked his head out from the black gap.

"Oh, we were just talking about the abilities of the Darkfire Grand Duke." Xing greeted Chen Luo upon seeing him.

"This must be Mr. Chen Luo, hello. I've heard your name from Black Tower many times, and I've also heard that you've been a great help to the simulated universe." Screw Gum nodded slightly to Chen Luo.

Screw Goom, member #76 of the Genius Club, is a gentleman with an exceptional mechanical mind and the king of Screw Star.

Together with Black Tower Nguyen Mai and another member of the Genius Club, Stephenson, he participated in the simulated universe project and achieved great success.

"Did she really say that?" Chen Luo asked, somewhat doubtful.

"of course."

"Hmm... the help Black Tower mentioned wouldn't be... never mind, never mind." Chen Luo shook his head.

Chen Luo thought that the Black Tower's claim that it was of great help to the simulated universe was probably because Chen Luo had attracted Aha.

Aha's help to the Black Tower's simulated universe project far exceeded Chen Luo's.

Although there's a 50% chance that Black Tower will faint every time he sees Aha, he'll definitely be of some help.

It wasn't that the Black Tower was psychologically weak, but rather that Aha had used his Star God powers.

Moreover, whether or not the Black Tower will make you dizzy is random, depending on Aha's mood.

"We're currently discussing the attack on the Black Tower Space Station by the Darkfire Duke from the Annihilation Gang. The disappearance of one of Lady Black Tower's dolls is suspected to be related to it, and several other researchers on the space station have had the same experience. Chen Luo, do you have any leads?" Estella briefly explained the current situation.

"Huh? Me? Okay, I admit it, I did take a Black Tower doll, but it was a gift from Black Tower."

“…Although I don’t understand what you need the Black Tower doll for, this matter has already been reported. I’m not talking about this Black Tower doll,” Estádio said.

"Oh, that's alright then. I just helped Xing gather some clues that might be useful," Chen Luo said.

"During the chaos caused by the Eternal Flame Mansion in the past, there were witnesses of rioters descending from the flames. The flames of the Grand Duke of the Underworld possess certain special properties, and a pamphlet left by Adler records a flame capable of traversing phases, said to have burned across realms, leaving behind numerous flame descendants. According to Xing, it is the phase spirit fire." Doctor Truth took out a pamphlet.

"The Phase Flame was created by the Genius Club #29, Siskar. Siskar... she was an extraordinary genius, intelligent, kind, and humble. On the last day of her life, she was still asking the club members a question that no one has been able to answer to this day. But unfortunately, according to human timekeeping, it only lived for a brief 29 days. The Phase Flame shifted to another phase upon birth, and after returning when Siskar had already passed away, it continued to shift phases, becoming increasingly difficult to capture." Screwgoom confirmed this information.

Sisikar's true form is actually a spider, which transformed its civilization from an insect into an interstellar civilization, making it a true genius!

The fact that its civilization was able to produce such a genius is a source of pride for them.

“The source of this flame must be the lost artifact of the Black Tower, and the Grand Duke of Netherfire is a descendant of flames,” Doctor Truth said.

“Someone once caught a glimpse of the Phase Flame and captured a wisp of it. The Black Tower took it and lent it to Ruan Mei for research, but the flame seed was lost in the process. If Afrit is also a descendant of the Phase Flame, the whole story becomes clear.” As Ruan Mei and the Black Tower’s partner, Screw Gum knew more about this.

"The whereabouts of the victims are still unknown, but the plan of the Darkfire Duke is clear. The sudden series of disappearances is undoubtedly the best breeding ground for chaos. Once the seeds of unease take root and sprout, an attack will be launched, pushing the crisis that has been brewing in the shadows to the forefront, urging it to grow, blossom, and bear fruit." Doctor Truth nodded.

"The next step is to ignite the spark and look at these missing staff members. Let's assume they all have one thing in common—they are all opinion leaders who have expressed dissatisfaction with management. It goes without saying what the consequences would be if this were discovered."

“It was all a carefully laid trap, the purpose from the very beginning was to incite internal strife on the space station!” Estella’s expression turned serious as she deduced this conclusion.

“…It’s too late. If nothing unexpected happens, the public opinion should have already taken hold.” Ladio looked at Xing, who quite sensibly took out her phone and opened the gossip group.

As Ladio said, the group was filled with indignation, suspecting it was a conspiracy and the tyranny of the management!

Then a very clever person suddenly said: "If that's the case, wouldn't we be in danger?"

The group chat instantly fell silent, but an even bigger storm was brewing.

“This…this…” Estella frowned slightly as she looked at the messages.

“…No. Not enough.” After a pause, Screwgoom shook his head.

“That’s right, we’re just missing one more fire.” Ladio nodded.

"What do you mean?"

“If you stop here, you still have a chance to explain. If it were me, I wouldn’t give you that chance,” Ladio said, looking at Estelle.

"Could it be..." Screwgoom turned to look at Estella.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"!!!"

One moment she was puzzled, the next moment a ghostly blue flame suddenly erupted from Estella's body, engulfing her completely!

"Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!" Estella panicked.

"Aista!"

If nothing unexpected happens, Estella will vanish without a trace in the next moment, just like those other clerks.

But... a yo-yo flew towards Estelle in an instant, and the string on the yo-yo instantly wrapped around Estelle's body. The strings intertwined, and with a gentle tug, she was entangled.

Estella stumbled and was pulled toward Chen Luo, but the flames that had possessed her remained in place.

Seeing that the capture had failed, the flame flickered and then disappeared with a snap.

"Are you alright?" Chen Luo asked Estella, who was tightly bound by the yo-yo strings.

"N-nothing, it's just that it seems a bit tight." Estella, who was completely bound, felt a little awkward.

Hopefully, this won't cause the child to develop any unusual hobbies.

“Through actual contact, I have confirmed that Afrit’s flames are merely sparks of the primordial spirit fire and do not possess phase-shifting capabilities. Logic: The missing crew members are still inside the space station.” Screws remained calm, and after seeing that Estella was unharmed, he quietly began to consider other issues.

"Although the person was rescued, that flame is still somewhere in the compartment. Although we didn't succeed this time, it's not a good thing that there are hunters lurking in the shadows," Dr. Truth said.

"Heh, just a spark? The arrogance of a genius is quite endearing." The hollow voice echoed throughout the room of the space station where Chen Luo and the others were located.

This is clearly the voice of Lord Hades.

"If you can do it, give it a try!"

After saying those words, there was no more sound, leaving only Chen Luo and the others standing in the room.

"It seems that the Grand Duke of Netherfire did not come to the space station in person, but only took advantage of the chaos to throw a ball of Netherfire into this place, letting it wander around and hunt down the staff. If the Netherfire is extinguished, his conspiracy will also be wiped out," Doctor Truth analyzed.

“I will go to the Black Tower office to activate the folded space of the artifact containment chamber. With a few minor adjustments to the parameters, it can be used to block the opponent’s transfer route and confine it within the space station. Mr. Ladio, please accompany Ms. Star to contain it,” Screw Goom said.

“No problem, but why didn’t you ask the amazing Chen Luo beforehand?” Xing nodded in agreement, then turned to the side, as if introducing Chen Luo, who had just untied the threads from Estella’s body, to everyone behind her.

"Hmm, Chen Luo, what are you doing?" Xing noticed that Chen Luo seemed to be playing with a light cone.

"Oh, I was recording the last words of the Duke of Darkfire, so that when I impersonate him later, I can look more convincing," Chen Luo said.

"...Is that why you didn't stop that flame from disappearing?" Xinghu looked at Chen Luo suspiciously.

Xing didn't think Chen Luo would be helpless against that ball of flames. Xing remembered that Uncle Yang had said that Chen Luo's Herrscher of the Void power was an extremely high-end power that could manipulate space, and could even directly access the Imaginary Tree.

This is a power that even the Star God would be interested in.

As for Chen Luo's claim of impersonating the Grand Duke of the Underworld... it's normal for Chen Luo to cause any trouble, so we don't need to worry about him.

"What? I was busy saving Estelle, so I didn't have time to deal with that ball of Netherfire," Chen Luo denied, while retrieving the yo-yo with the thread.

"I don't believe it. Chen Luo, do you know that your mistake has increased my workload?" Xing said, her face showing dissatisfaction.

"so?"

"Can I borrow that flaming yo-yo of yours? If I can, I'll forgive you!" Xing's eyes sparkled.

Wow, who could resist a super cool glowing and fiery yo-yo?

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Here you go." Chen Luo handed the yo-yo, which he had finally managed to untangle from Estella, to Xing without hesitation.

[Ding! Mission complete!]

Seeing Xing's excitement, Chen Luo didn't dare tell Xing that the "ghost fire" yo-yo was actually just smoke... lest it cause her psychological trauma.

Chen Luo was afraid of causing Fu Yan psychological trauma, not afraid of Xing.

"Aista, we'll need you to take charge of things from now on. Do you need me to help you calm down?" Chen Luo asked.

"A head pat? Okay, I'm ready." Estella, who couldn't help but clutch her collar with both hands, knew that she was being very disgraceful and needed Chen Luo's help, so she could only nod.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"...Astya, Astya, be good. The Grand Duke of Hellfire has been driven away. There's no need to be afraid anymore."

Although Chen Luo's lines were a bit strange, Estella gradually calmed down after being comforted by his head pat.

[Ding! Mission complete!]

A gentle head pat—whoever gets patted becomes a fool!
