Their commission was suspicious.

Chen Luo recalled his talent as a puppeteer.

"Hmm, what are you doing sitting here?" A figure slowly climbed onto the roof.

After dinner, seeing Raiden Mei cheering up and the others who were sharing her joy, Chen Luo silently left this place that didn't belong to him and climbed onto the roof.

"Kiana, what brings you here?" Chen Luo asked.

"Ahem, don't call me by that name, at least not now." The person who came was startled by Chen Luo's words and coughed twice.

"What are you afraid of? You are Kiana Kahnemana. How long do you plan to keep this secret hidden? Even Rita could easily find out about this secret. Do you think it would be really hard to detect if someone is determined?" Chen Luo asked Durandal.

"Everyone was looking for you after dinner, so I came out to look for you. I didn't expect to find you sitting on the roof," Durandal said, changing the subject.

"Don't worry about me. I only came up here because I was afraid they'd make me do the dishes," Chen Luo waved his hand.

"Your problem is the important one now."

“…” Durandal fell silent.

The reason for Durandal's silence is unknown; it's unclear whether it was because Chen Luo brought up something Durandal had been unwilling to face immediately, or because of Chen Luo's comment about disappearing because he didn't want to do the dishes.

Overall, both aspects are quite outrageous.

"Chen Luo, when you gave me those two choices, did you really give me a choice?" Yulandel asked, barely suppressing the urge to make Chen Luo go down and wash the dishes.

"Hmm, what makes you say that?"

Before anyone knew it, a piece of fine wood appeared in Chen Luo's hand. While responding to Durandal, Chen Luo began to cut the wood with the extended silk thread in his hand.

"When you told me the truth, you gave me two choices: one was a safer but complicated method, and the other was a more dangerous but quick method."

"and then?"

“I don’t regret choosing the first method, because it taught me a lot. But I also discovered that even if I chose the first method and knew the truth, I would still have to face the second method. Knowing the truth but having no memory of it is a very difficult thing to accept.”

"In the end, I still need that master of consciousness to help me recall those memories, which I don't know if they still remain in my mind. If I really want to face Siegfried... Mr. Siegfried."

Durandal tried, but ultimately felt somewhat uncomfortable calling the other person "Dad" when they were complete strangers.

"Annoying? That's to be expected, but don't worry, I'll take care of your troubles. Relax, I'll handle everything," Chen Luo said confidently.

“…Thank you.” Durandal looked at Chen Luo with a complicated expression.

"You're welcome, this is for you." Chen Luo handed the wood carving he had spent a minute carving with silk threads to Yulandel beside him.

"This is……"

“A family photo! Look, these four people are Siegfried, Cecilia, you as a child, and Qi… K423,” Chen Luo said, pointing to the wood carving.

"That's not what I'm asking about. Of course I know that's what I'm asking about." Durandal pointed to the fifth person on the family portrait wooden carving with a dark expression.

That was a little Chen Luo sitting on Little Yulandel's head.

"Oh, this is a free gift. It's detachable, so you can remove it if you don't like it, but I think my presence adds a lot to this family photo," Chen Luo said shamelessly.

"..." Yulandel hesitated for a moment, but did not remove the little Chen Luo from her head.

Because when K423 and I were young, only the "Little Chen Luo" mark on my head could clearly distinguish the two of us.

This is also the only thing that Durandal possesses alone on this wooden carving.

Chapter 260 The Sealed Diary

“Siegfried, are you sure you really want to participate in this operation? You need to understand that there’s a 90% chance this is a trap.” Tesla, with her red twin tails, stared at the man shrouded in a black cloak and said.

"But you also said it's only 90%, right? There's still a 10% chance it's true." The black-robed man's weathered voice carried a hint of sadness.

"If this is true, doesn't it mean I abandoned my real daughter for so many years, completely failing in my responsibilities as a father? Letting Kiana be raised by Otto for over a decade, this kind of thing..."

The man in the black robe was none other than Siegfried, and the thought of this possibility made Siegfried clutch his head in pain.

If one's own daughter were to stay under Otto's control for about 10 years, how terrible would she be to suffer?

Human experimentation, dissection, torture, brainwashing...

Thinking about these things, Siegfried might feel heartbroken.

But Siegfried couldn't avoid facing it; it was a responsibility of a father.

Regardless of whether this is a trap or not, as long as there is even a 10% chance that it is true, Siegfried will take the risk even if it is extremely dangerous.

Siegfried was not a reckless person; he was bold yet meticulous, possessing the basic qualities of a warrior. The reason Siegfried was willing to venture into this seemingly terrifying vortex was because there was indeed a 10% chance.

Siegfried had previously believed that the real Kiana could not have survived, because logically speaking, it was impossible for someone to survive being hit in the head by a piece of debris from a spacecraft and falling from a height of thousands of meters into a snow-covered mountain.

So, in his overwhelming grief, he naturally didn't bother with a thorough investigation, because Siegfried didn't want to be heartbroken a second time.

But now things seem to have taken a strange turn.

Although only a few hours passed between the afternoon meeting and the sudden action in the evening, those few hours were enough to gather intelligence, and through the intelligence gathered, it seemed that some clues had indeed been discovered.

However, due to the tight timeframe, no further information could be obtained, but at least it gave Siegfried some hope—the hope that the real Kiana Kaslana was still alive in the world.

"Hey, aren't you going to try to talk him out?" Tesla, seeing that Siegfried was as stubborn as a mule and wouldn't listen to reason, turned to the blue-haired man next to him.

"Since he's unlikely to listen to advice, why bother? You should know that yourself, right?" Einstein, who was processing data on a virtual screen, glanced at the boisterous Dr. Tesla and said.

If persuasion had been effective, Einstein would have been more than willing to say a few more words, but as it turned out, from any perspective, Siegfried could not possibly give up his plan to act together.

Although this operation was an elite operation with only a few key members carrying out the mission, the support from the outside was equally important, and Siegfried infiltrated by disguising himself as one of these support personnel.

Although conservatives are keeping a low profile now, this kind of thing is still possible.

"Mr. Siegfried failed to meet you and your two daughters in time due to the negligence of Anti-Entropy. Therefore, we will spare no effort to support you in this operation. Feel free to make any requests, and we will do our best to fulfill them. However, you must also be careful, as Cocolia is definitely brewing some terrible conspiracy in secret." Einstein solemnly warned Siegfried.

In the past, when they helped Siegfried rescue K423, they should have had some contribution to anti-entropy, but anti-entropy... those who know, know.

Therefore, it was quite normal for Siegfried to be unhappy with entropy for a period of time in the past.

“I know that, I’m ready.” Siegfried nodded seriously.

“This time, I’m in charge of infiltrating the central dogma section of St. Freya Academy’s chapel district, which is connected to Schicksal’s large database. While infiltrating the database, I will also keep an eye on the situation regarding the real Kiana. If you find anything amiss, you can evacuate immediately,” Einstein said.

Although Einstein had his own tasks, he could still find time to do other things. Besides, wasn't there another scientist beside him? Although this guy was loud and boisterous, his skills were indeed not to be underestimated.

Einstein glanced at Dr. Tesla, who had red twin tails.

"Thank you." Siegfried nodded.

"According to the plan, this time Cocolia, that vixen, will invade the Central Dogma with me, while someone else will be responsible for kidnapping the Herrscher of Thunder, Raiden Mei, and your two daughters."

"The so-called leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance could not possibly be Welt, but he does have the ability to control gravity. However, at the current pace, it is impossible for the Ninth Herrscher to be born. Therefore, the answer is obvious: he must be a clone of Welt."

At this point, a hint of anger flashed in Einstein's eyes, even though he was not usually prone to emotional fluctuations.

"Cocolia really will stop at nothing for power, and it seems that his cloning technology has already made some progress. And since it is cloning, there may be more than one clone."

"Judging from the accommodations, the one responsible for capturing the Herrscher of Thunder's original body and K423 Kiana should be a clone, but the person who went to capture another Kiana whose true identity is still unknown is uncertain. But since Cocolia is so confident about this, it means that the other party is definitely not simple."

"Here, take this." After saying that, Einstein handed a remote control to Siegfried.

"What is this?" Siegfried frowned as he looked at the remote control in his hand.

"This is one of the quantum mechs developed by Cocolia. We went to great lengths to obtain it, but due to the severe technological blockade surrounding this quantum technology, we came up empty-handed and it's meaningless to us now. But it might be of some help to you. The method of use is..." Einstein explained to Siegfried how to summon the quantum mech.

"Thank you," Siegfried said again.

"Don't mention it, it's what we should do. Besides, someone might come to your aid when you encounter difficulties." Einstein himself was somewhat uncertain about the latter part of his statement.

"Who?"

“Walter. The real Walter.”

"!!!" Siegfried was shocked.

"Alright, enough said. It's time to meet, so I should go." Einstein glanced at his watch and walked away with Tesla.

"...Theresa, you're still as unreliable as ever. The St. Freya Academy you founded is practically riddled with infiltration." After the others left, Siegfried looked at the St. Freya Academy in the distance and sighed.

Although this time they came to Theresa's territory, it's a pity that Siegfried will not be able to get Theresa's help this time, because Cocolia and Einstein's purpose this time, although it is the Central Dogmatic Zone, is also partly aimed at Theresa.

As for advance notice?

Come on.

While reverse entropy cannot defy destiny head-on, St. Freya Academy is merely a distribution of destiny.

This time, three-quarters of the prominent figures from Anti-Entropy have arrived. If a large-scale conflict were to occur, the ones who would suffer would undoubtedly be these Valkyries who are still learning in school and have not yet experienced the trials of war.

The Kaslana family are all qualified "knights," and even Siegfried adheres to the Kaslana's belief that they will do anything to protect others.

Although Siegfried wanted to find his daughter, he was unwilling to let these young Valkyries, who had not yet graduated from school, be affected or even die with him.

……

"You've finally arrived." Cocolia, who was waiting by a grove of trees, looked at Einstein and Tesla, who were late, with some impatience.

"You're too impatient," Einstein said calmly.

"So now can you tell us the identity of the real Kiana Kaslana?" Einstein asked Cocolia.

“Well, the real Kiana Kaslana identity? Of course not.” Cocolia paused for a moment before saying to Einstein, then gave a mocking smile.

Hey lady, who are you? Are we that close? How could I possibly tell you such a secret right now?

"Then you can at least tell me who you're going to send? Is that person reliable enough to guarantee the complete implementation of the plan?" Einstein didn't get angry, but continued to ask.

"Sorry, that remains confidential. Alright, enough chit-chat, let's get ready to begin. It's almost time for the operation to start." Cocolia glanced at the time and then ignored Einstein.

“…!” Einstein felt somewhat displeased as he looked at Cocolia, who had kept this matter so well secret.

Damn female fox.

……

"Himeko-sensei, I'll go to the lost and found to get my bedding first," Fu Hua, dressed in an ethereal outfit, said to Himeko.

"Actually, we have bedding at home, you can use that too." Himeko didn't seem to care much about it.

"No need. Although all my clothes were stolen, most of my other belongings are still here," Fu Hua said, shaking her head.

If you can use your own, why bother others?

Staying at Himeko-sensei's house was just a temporary measure. If we were to use her bedding, wouldn't that be even more of a hassle for her? Besides, we've just finished eating, so we can do some exercise afterwards.

After saying that, Fu Hua left home and headed towards the lost and found.

It's only 7:25 now. Although the lost and found has already closed, they've specially set aside a storeroom for Fu Hua to store the stolen items, and they've already given her the key.

"Hmm, it seems the people who were supposed to come have already arrived." Watching Fu Hua's departing figure, Chen Luo felt the threads he had spread around the perimeter of St. Freya Academy being touched and said softly.

The anti-entropy operation was, in a sense, planned by Chen Luo, so Chen Luo naturally knew where the students would enter from. Therefore, Chen Luo specially arranged transparent threads in those places.

The threads of Chen Luo's Herrscher power have many wonderful uses. For example, when Chen Luo doesn't let them manifest, these threads cannot cause any harm to the human body, and they are not even noticeable. Even if you pass through these threads, you will not be injured. But once they manifest, they become extremely sharp.

Therefore, when they are not easily detected, these threads can actually serve as detection devices.

For example, just now, Chen Luo's threads detected a man with strong Honkai energy who had lost his left arm passing through the web of threads.

Sensing this, Chen Luo turned his head slightly to look at Yulandel, who was holding a wooden carving and had her eyes closed.

Perhaps the atmosphere had been right, so some things just naturally followed.

Yes, Chen Luo was referring to the commission.

【Recovering Memories】: Help Kiana Kaslana (Durandal) recover her lost childhood memories.

Rewards: 300 Primogems + random rewards + 10 Good Fortune from Durandal.

Difficulty: 3 stars

Hmm, sis, please stop increasing my affection level, okay? It's already maxed out.

When Chen Luo looked at this request, he was both amused and exasperated.

Before establishing a special relationship, the maximum favorability rating is only 5%, and it cannot be higher. However, after completing the mission to find Siegfried, Durandal's discount should also be 5%.

Of course, this does not mean that the relationship between Yulandel and Chen Luo has reached a level that is better than that between Liu Wenxuan.

The favorability rating is mainly used to reduce discounts; the effect of increasing favorability will gradually take effect later.

Because the discount offered by Youlandaijia was inflated, Chen Luo didn't even know the true discount between himself and Youlandaijia.

As for how long it will take after the discount reaches 5% to truly raise the favorability rating to 5%?
