Their commission was suspicious.

Chen Luo just thought it was cool to tell others both good news and bad news.

Have you ever seen anyone, when acting as a riddle tell you: I have two pieces of news, one is good news, and the other is also good news?

“…Chen! Luo!” Raven’s hand, which had been nervously holding the drink cup, trembled as she looked at Chen Luo scratching his head.

If it weren't for the fact that crushing a cup in real life might hurt your hand, Raven would have already crushed it.

However, having been fooled by Chen Luo this time, Raven doesn't intend to do nothing at all.

"Chen Luo, do you know what 'capture' means?" Raven asked with a gloomy face.

"Oh, I know, I've even studied a little bit about it."

"Then I'll help you review!" After saying that, Raven charged straight at Chen Luo.

……

"Let me go!"

"Think beautifully!"

"Chen Luo, you bastard, let me go right now!" Raven said, somewhat humiliated, as Chen Luo pinned her down and held her in a grappling position.

"Heh, you want to compete with me in grappling? Do you even know what a close-combat master is?" Chen Luo sneered, looking at the raven he had pinned down.

Do you think I learned my close-combat skills by studying?

"Oh, right, didn't I ask you if you wanted to go to World Serpent? You haven't answered me yet."

"Let me go first!" Raven tried desperately to break free from Chen Luo's grasp.

However, firstly, Chen Luo's grappling skills were truly superb, rendering Raven immobile; secondly, Chen Luo's strength was somewhat considerable; and thirdly, Raven was currently wearing a swimsuit, and the large area of ​​her skin in contact with Chen Luo's naked body made it difficult for Raven to exert any force.

"By the way, it seems your brother's whereabouts are somewhat connected to the Gray Serpent," Chen Luo said.

"Well, if we're talking about someone who knows where my brother is, it would probably be Gray Serpent, since he's the one who took me away. But when I asked Gray Serpent about it, he didn't give me any useful information." Raven could only answer while being held down by Chen Luo, as they started talking about serious matters.

"That's you. Of course, there's nothing to ask."

Chen Luo guessed that even if Gray Serpent really did take Raven's brother away because of Chen Luo in the past, he would definitely keep it from Raven. At the very least, he would wait until Chen Luo got the quest to find Raven's brother from Raven before revealing this information.

Of course, the main reason for doing this is not to farm Raven's quests, but to avoid changing the existing history.

Otherwise, it might affect Chen Luo, who has just arrived in the Honkai Impact 3rd world.

After all, wasn't Chen Luo's initial contact with the World Serpent through the Raven?

"Then I'll have to ask around," Raven said seriously.

In fact, after learning that there were two Möbius in this bar, one from Paradise and the other from 5 years ago, Raven had a general idea of ​​Chen Luo's special relationship with the Gray Serpent.

And Chen Luo must have appeared 5 years ago.

The question then arises: if I were to entrust Chen Luo with finding my brother now, the simplest way would be to make the gray snake remember this matter 5 years ago.

However, in order to prevent the cause and effect from changing, the only option is to hide the older brother first and then bring him out after making the wish.

Otherwise, if he had brought his brother back to the World Serpent from the beginning, he wouldn't have posted his wish to find his brother, and Chen Luo wouldn't have needed the Gray Serpent to bring his brother back with him.

But if I do that, won't I have to separate from my brother again?

Ugh, figuring out things about time is such a hassle.

Aren't you going?

Am I suitable to go?

Why isn't it suitable?

"Then let me go! I need to change my clothes!" Raven struggled under Chen Luo's body again.

"Oh." Chen Luo slowly got off the raven.

"Tsk, I don't know how your strength has increased so quickly. Not long ago you were just a naive but rich newbie." Raven stood up from the beach and patted the sand off his chest.

Then Chen Luo glanced at it a few more times.

The black slime is just too big.

……

"Well, while it's certainly convenient to come to World Serpent, I do want to thank you, but... can you explain when you installed the teleportation point in my room?" Raven, who had entered World Serpent through the bar door, crossed his arms and looked at Chen Luo with hostility.

Raven had assumed Chen Luo would open a teleportation point somewhere like the World Serpent Gate, but instead, after pushing open the bar door, she found herself in her own room in the World Serpent.

"Hmm, these aren't important," Chen Luo said after looking around the room.

"This is very important!" Raven didn't want someone to suddenly appear next to her bed while she was sleeping, even if it was Chen Luo, it would be too scary.

Although Chen Luo didn't say it explicitly, Raven knew that Chen Luo had a teleportation ability that would be even more effective when combined with the bar, after spending so much time with him.

But the raven didn't know the specific principle behind it.

“But finding your brother is more important now,” Chen Luo emphasized.

"..." Although Raven knew that Chen Luo was changing the subject, Raven found that she couldn't refute him at all.

After silencing the raven, Chen Luo looked at his fate line and found the one belonging to the gray snake. He then followed the guidance of the fate line and headed towards the gray snake.

To be fair, having the ability to determine fate makes finding people really convenient.

Of course, there are also inconveniences.

such as……

"Hey, wait a minute, you walked through the wall, where am I supposed to go?" Raven was dumbfounded as Chen Luo walked diagonally through the wall of his room.

Why are you going through walls instead of taking the normal route? Are you trying to make yourself look like a ghost?

"I had no choice. Just follow this direction." Chen Luo, who had entered stealth mode, said to Raven after passing through the wall again.

“If you know where the Gray Serpent is, just go find it. I’m taking a shortcut,” Chen Luo said.

Yes, that's right, that's the inconvenience.

Because the fate line points directly, it doesn't need to go through any twists or turns, so it goes straight.

Regardless of whether there's a wall or a cliff in front of you, the other person is right in front of you. Do you move or not?

Of course, Chen Luo could leave the room and then proceed along the direction of the fate line, but who knows if he might end up in a dead end?

If the distance is far enough, you can also use spatial abilities to jump over using the Herrscher of the Void's abilities.

Moreover, since Chen Luo can enter a stealth state, he is not afraid of being embedded in the wall.

perfect.

However, this makes Chen Luo's ability to determine fate seem somewhat low-level.

Chen Luo's stealth ability can almost perfectly avoid these weaknesses, but strange is still strange.

Perhaps when Chen Luo's destiny ability becomes stronger in the future, he will be able to directly determine the other party's exact location by looking at the destiny line, and then use the Herrscher of the Void's ability to teleport there directly.

But Chen Luo is clearly not up to par now.

The current Chen Luo is the reckless type.

After watching Chen Luo leave in such a strange way, Raven sighed helplessly and then pushed open the door in the general direction Chen Luo had left in, heading in that direction.

If Raven's judgment is correct, that seems to be the direction of the conference room.

After passing through several walls, Chen Luo didn't know where he had arrived, but he was certain that it was an employee's room because someone was taking a shower in the bathroom.

Looking at the wolf mask on the living room table, Chen Luo probably guessed who it was.

After a pause, Chen Luo continued flying forward silently.

Finally, Chen Luo met Gray Snake in a familiar place.

"Hmm, isn't this the meeting room where we met last time? Damn it! All that effort I put into this wasted." Chen Luo stared blankly at the familiar decor.

I finally managed to find someone using my Fate Line ability, but you made me lose so completely!

"Doctor? What brings you here?" Gray Snake, who was sitting in the conference room seemingly lost in thought, was taken aback when he saw Chen Luo arrive.

On the one hand, they didn't know why Chen Luo had come, and on the other hand, they were surprised by Chen Luo's unpredictable appearances.

"Oh, it's like this. Well, I'm here to help Raven find her brother. Do you know where Raven's brother is?" Chen Luo asked directly.

"Hmm? Hmm, so it's already this time." Upon hearing Chen Luo's question, Gray Serpent clearly seemed to have realized something.

The gray snake's tone convinced Chen Luo that he might have actually done something.

"Doctor, you don't seem surprised at all." Gray Snake smiled and asked, seeing Chen Luo's calm expression.

"What's so surprising? I am who I am. Don't I know myself?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at the gray snake.

However, it seems that Gray Snake also knows about Chen Luo's ability to travel between the past and the future.

Hmm, that makes sense. After all, Chen Luo would definitely use Gray Snake, who is such a useful tool. And if he wants to use Gray Snake, he naturally has to tell him some things.

Besides, Chen Luo always needs Gray Snake to do something, like saving people, so it's perfectly normal for Gray Snake to know some things.

Also, last time, Gray Snake didn't seem surprised at all when Chen Luo pretended to be stupid.

“That’s true. Since you’ve asked me about this, it means you already have a plan in mind, and you’ll surely be able to implement it in the future.” Gray Snake nodded.

"Then the question is, where are they?" Chen Luo asked.

"Doctor, please don't worry. In fact, just as you thought, the matter of placing Raven's brother in a safe place before I adopt him has already been taken care of. Just as you spoke, I sent Raven's brother's current location to Raven's communicator. I also attached some selfies that he has been taking regularly recently," Gray Snake said.

"And you, who have fulfilled the wishes of others, should now be able to feel that your wishes have been granted, right?"

[Ding! Mission complete]

(Reward: 1000 Primogems + random reward + Raven's affinity 30)

"..."

Ah, this task feels so unreal.

Did you get 1000 Primogems just like that?

Why does it feel so dull and boring?

Of course, the reason for this misconception is that the task was too easy.

But Chen Luo knew that he would still need to work on this matter in the future, at least to ensure that Gray Snake would do this job honestly.

This commission feels like they're giving you a reward first, and then asking you to do the work.

However, this phenomenon can only occur in the Honkai Impact 3rd world.

"Yes, Raven's wish has been fulfilled. Thank you for your hard work." Chen Luo looked at Gray Snake with satisfaction.

Although I don't know what I will give you in the future, thank you for your hard work.

"You're welcome, it's just an agreement. By the way, according to the contract, Doctor, you mentioned Raven's matter, so I should hand over the other two [items] and the sacred object to you."

"The other two items and the sacred object?"

Although Chen Luo didn't quite understand, he was greatly shocked.

What is a sacred object?

"Please follow me." Gray Snake nodded to Chen Luo, then led him out of the conference room.

Chapter 299 Cecilia and Yae Rin

After Chen Luo followed the gray snake out of the conference room, he headed towards a place that felt somewhat familiar to him.

This sense of déjà vu became even stronger when Chen Luo arrived at the World Serpent's Shrine.

"Grey Snake, you wouldn't be thinking of taking me to the Land of Bliss, would you?" Chen Luo asked somewhat uncertainly.

This is clearly the road to paradise, and we're about to step onto that tunnel that Chen Luo utterly despises.

“No, actually, somewhere along the passageway leading to Paradise, there’s a path that leads to another place. That’s where we’re going,” Gray Serpent explained to Chen Luo as they entered the passageway.

"..." Chen Luo entered the passageway with a look of disgust.

Although... Chen Luo hated this passageway.

As for the raven that was following Chen Luo earlier?
