Their commission was suspicious.

"It's an invitation for you to become an assistant in Desdovia's ability experiment. As the person who personally performed the surgery on Desdovia, you are naturally more suitable to be an assistant in this matter."

"After failing to find you yesterday, I went to Möbius and invited her to assist the opponent in the experiment. After all, Destobia is different from me, Kevin, and Sakura. Her original strength was only considered to be among the better ordinary warriors, and she didn't have that much control over her body."

"The key point is that the opponent is a psychic-sensory fusion warrior, which makes it even more difficult to determine what their abilities are. Of course, it's also possible that they don't have any abilities at all."

“Mebius’s assessment of this was, ‘Instead of coming to me, you might as well wait a day and go and wait for Chen Luo. If you have any trouble, just go to him. He’ll definitely be happy to help, and because of his abilities, he’s more sensitive to these things.’ So I came to you,” Alicia said.

"...Goodness, now I understand why Möbius suddenly chose to go find Velvi when he returned to the lab. So that's why he was waiting for me here." Chen Luo suddenly realized.

"Oh, none of that matters. As long as you're willing to help, I'll forgive you for not only disappearing all day yesterday but also not replying to any messages," Alicia said.

"What about the matter of putting the sack over your head today?" Chen Luo keenly noticed something.

"Hmm... If you're willing to help, then I'll forgive you for not only disappearing all day yesterday, but also not replying to messages," Alicia said after a pause.

"What about the matter of putting the sack over your head today?" Chen Luo asked again.

"if only……"

"Stop, stop, stop. Don't say anymore. I'm willing to help. Don't repeat yourself." Seeing that Alicia seemed determined not to let the matter rest, Chen Luo quickly said.

That's right. It's impossible for Alicia to forget something that she remembered for 5 years and then plotted against 5 years later.

In a sense, Alicia is just as committed to keeping her promises as Chen Luo.

Alicia never lies or deceives anyone, something Chen Luo cannot do.

However, they are somewhat similar in that they will do their best to keep their promises to others.

Conversely, if Alicia refuses to forgive, it proves that she has indeed taken it to heart.

5 years! What grudge could there be?

"That's great!"

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Exploring the Truth]: Help Daisy Dobia figure out the other party's abilities.

Rewards: 200 Primogems + 10 points of affection with Daisy Dobia + 10 points of affection with Alicia.

Difficulty: Two stars

It wasn't particularly difficult, but after the other party shook hands with Chen Luo, Chen Luo knew exactly what the other party had possessed and what abilities they had.

Even if the other party has been cursed or something, Chen Luo can see it, such as Yun Lian'er's witch curse.

Therefore, Chen Luo knew the other party's abilities the moment they became a fusion warrior. All he had to do now was guide them to successfully use their abilities. In a sense, Chen Luo was also a special kind of life mentor.

“I have another question. What did Mebius mean when he said, ‘Your abilities are better suited for this kind of thing’?” Alicia asked curiously.

"Well... to be honest, my ability can temporarily suppress the activity of Honkai Beast Factors, which naturally leads to other uses, such as helping Kevin temporarily suppress the side effects of the Ice Pig Factors in his body, restoring his body temperature to normal as much as possible, so that he can briefly hug Mei, so..."

"Wait, what did you just say? Help Kevin suppress his body temperature temporarily, and then let Kevin hug Mei. Did Kevin come up with this idea?" Just as Chen Luo was about to continue, Alicia suddenly interrupted him and asked with a gossipy look on her face.

"Nice," Chen Luo thought to himself as he clenched his fist.

I'm sorry, Kevin.

Chen Luo knew that this matter would definitely pique Alicia's interest, which is why he brought it up specifically.

“Kevin volunteered, and the experiment was successful.” Chen Luo nodded firmly.

Chen Luo didn't mention a word about who first brought up the matter and took action.

What is BBC? Chen Luo, this is BBC.

Editing techniques can be used to steer events in the direction one desires.

The main reason is that Chen Luo doesn't know why he's more suited to guiding others to discover their own abilities.

Mebius is really something, he didn't even bother to give me a heads-up.

This left Chen Luo momentarily speechless, unable to come up with a lie.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to be able to do something like this, and I also didn't expect Kevin to have such ulterior motives. I knew it! Kevin has always just been a big boy." However, compared to the first part, Alicia clearly focused on the second part.

“Yes, yes.” Chen Luo nodded quickly.

"No, the more I think about it, the more interesting it becomes. After you suppressed his body temperature, did he say anything or do anything?" Chen Luo successfully steered the conversation off course, and Ai Li was completely unaware.

"My ability wasn't very effective against beings who had become fusion warriors. It took me five minutes to lower their body temperature to a level slightly colder than that of an ordinary person, and it could only be maintained for 30 seconds. So they just held hands and hugged briefly, and that was it," Chen Luo said.

"Is that all?" Alicia was greatly disappointed.

“But as my abilities develop, I should be able to gradually increase this time to more than two minutes. Perhaps you could ask Kevin what he plans to do when he has enough time,” Chen Luo suggested.

“That makes sense! But Desmondia is still waiting for me…”

“Then let her go back and rest. Just say it’s my order as the doctor who performed the fusion surgery. If anyone objects, tell them to come find me. Besides, I have some things to do this afternoon, so we’ll discuss the abilities more in depth tomorrow. You can take this opportunity to ask Kevin.” Chen Luo said quickly.

“I don’t mind if you tell others that I told you this. So you can get straight to the point without beating around the bush.”

"Is that so? I give up. That's all I can do. I guess I've been too understanding of you." Alicia sighed, then excitedly ran out of the lounge.

"Ha, women."

Alicia's actions weren't out of consideration for Chen Luo; she was clearly just trying to go up to Kevin and make fun of him.

"Let's go, let's go save Karen. Finally, I can become the boss of Destiny!" Chen Luo cheered and summoned the bar door.

"Hmm, wait a minute, I remember when I first came to the Honkai world, I joined one of the five factions: Schicksal, World Serpent, Anti-Entropy, Honkai, and Moth of Flame."

"Schicksal and Anti-Entropy are fine now. As for Honkai, the Honkai Consciousness should be the boss, right? The Flame Chaser is slowly developing and will eventually fall into my hands. Now, only the World Serpent is left..."

Chen Luo suddenly realized that he was about to become the leader of one of the five major factions in the Honkai world he had joined.

"Holy crap, my experience is so inspiring! Is this fate?"

Chen Luo walked into the bar while sighing.

"Hmm? There's a murderous aura!" Chen Luo suddenly became alert as soon as he entered the bar.

Something's off!

Turning his head, Chen Luo saw a pink-haired, animal-eared beauty and a blond youth sitting opposite each other at a table, the atmosphere of which didn't seem very harmonious...

Chapter 521 Rivals Arguing Without a Single Swear Word

"Ahem, you two are here so early." Seeing Yae Sakura and Otto staring at each other, Chen Luo tried to break the deadlock.

It's impossible for Yae Sakura and Otto to get along well, since they are a man and a woman, and although they are of the opposite sex, they are rivals in love.

However, these two rivals don't need to worry about abandoning Karen and becoming lovers for some strange, disgusting, or nasty reason.

It's already a good thing that the two of them didn't beat each other to a pulp for Karen's sake.

In fact, the two of them now want to beat each other into brain damage.

"My lord." Before Chen Luo could speak, Yae Sakura, who had already sensed his arrival, nodded slightly to him.

After all, he's the one who resurrected his sister, so he deserves the respect he's due.

Besides, Yae Sakura has now become a doll, and even her affection level is fixed at 5%.

If Chen Luo hadn't been completely clueless about how to break boundaries and forge special relationships, it wouldn't be impossible for all the puppets to become one-fold.

“My dear friend, you’ve arrived,” Otto said with a light laugh.

"Don't talk nonsense, who's your best friend?" Chen Luo immediately showed a disgusted expression.

To be honest, for Otto, anyone who offers unsolicited favors is definitely up to no good.

"Don't be so formal. Since you helped me save my Karen, you can naturally be considered my best friend."

While explaining, Otto didn't forget to assert his sovereignty over Karen.

“Karen, my dear fiancée… It’s certainly exciting that I’m about to change someone’s death, so let’s not worry about the details.”

Otto emphasized the words "fiancée" and kept glancing at Yae Sakura.

Otto, a man who has lived for 500 years, has naturally become quite rational, but this rationality and calmness disappear without a trace when it comes to Karen.

In particular, Kallen's statement at the trial that she had "fallen in love with a Herrscher" made Otto slightly lose his composure, especially with Yae Sakura right in front of him.

More importantly, he will have to go with this pink-haired fox to rescue Karen.

It would be a miracle if Otto could keep his composure.

However, Otto wasn't too panicked.

"Heh." Yae Sakura, quite unusually, merely chuckled lightly upon hearing Otto's blatantly provocative words.

Sometimes only the loser rushes to declare certain things, when victory is assured but the outcome is uncertain.

"..." After hearing Yae Sakura's laughter, Otto suddenly fell silent.

Otto was all too familiar with Yae Sakura's attitude, as he himself was the one adopting that posture most of the time.

This confident and assured attitude.

Otto suddenly realized just how annoying he was in other people's eyes in certain situations.

That kind of laughter is definitely asking for a beating.

Riddle: When do you hate your own flaws?

"A 500-year wait can be quite agonizing. It seems that the price we paid to revive Kallen has finally been paid off today, though not in the way I imagined."

However, Otto was no saint either.

"..." Yae Sakura suddenly fell silent.

This is Yae Sakura's weakness.

Otto genuinely worked for 500 years to revive Kallen. But Yae Sakura was different; she simply slept for 500 years.

Although Otto's efforts and sacrifices seem somewhat futile now, since the final solution was not in accordance with the other party's expectations at all.

However, Yae Sakura has seen the storyline, or rather, all the dolls can find the storyline in the group network.

Chen Luo has never been stingy with the puppets when it comes to intelligence.

Therefore, Yae Sakura also knew what price Otto had paid and how strong his determination was to accomplish that miraculous feat.

Yae Sakura cannot do this.

It's not that Yae Sakura lacked perseverance, but rather that she understood she was at best a warrior, never a leader. Therefore, she couldn't achieve the outcome Otto could.

However... having great respect for Otto's actions does not mean that Yae Sakura intends to withdraw on her own.

This isn't a war; there's a possibility that surrendering could result in losing half the war.

But not for love.

The loser is eliminated, the winner takes all.

“The days I spent living with Kallen feel like they were just yesterday. The last time we spent together was the happiest time of our lives,” Yae Sakura sighed.

"Boating together, admiring the cherry blossoms together, eating rice balls I made for Kallen—although the ending wasn't very happy, the process was wonderful. And today, I'm going to contribute my own strength to change that ending. Kallen, my love." Yae Sakura was suddenly filled with fighting spirit.

Sigh, Karen and I rowed a boat together, we admired cherry blossoms together, and I even fed Karen myself.

And because I was sealed away for 500 years, the days I spent with Karen feel like they were just a few months ago.

Envious?

Although Karen is your fiancée in name only, her heart belongs to me.

"You damn fox, don't go too far!" Otto, who instantly understood Yae Sakura's subtext, slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

"Bishop Otto, what's wrong with me? Why are you suddenly so angry?" Yae Sakura looked at Otto with a puzzled expression.

"Yae Sakura is my fiancée. According to your Eastern terminology, that's called an arranged marriage. But destiny still exists, and the Kaslana and Apocalypse families still exist. It's not your turn to be married."

"You almost killed Siegfried," Yae Sakura said calmly.

Siegfried is the head of the Kaslana family.

"I have shed blood for destiny."

"You almost killed Siegfried, and several times."

"I am the Archbishop of Schicksal, and I have made a great contribution to the fight against the Honkai!"

"You not only nearly killed Siegfried several times, but you also nearly killed Kiana," Yae Sakura said calmly.
