Their commission was suspicious.

The spikes that suddenly emerged from the Honkai Beast pierced through Kallen's body.

This bloody scene stunned the little girl behind Karen.

The two Ottos watching this scene from afar had their hearts in their throats.

The next moment, the Honkai Beast that had pierced Kallen's body threw her off the spikes like a rag doll into the distance.

"Karen!" Otto's voice rang out, a mixture of sorrow and anger.

However, Karen could no longer hear any of this.

The moment Karen was thrown out, her mind seemed to freeze.

Karen stared in astonishment at her own body lying on the ground, then glanced at Chen Luo, who was floating beside her.

The next moment, Otto rushed over from a distance, and his body trembled as he looked at Karen's corpse.

At the same time, the Honkai Beast did not forget its mission and swung its hammer-like arm at Otto.

"Bang!" The sound of the Heavenly Fire Judgment gun rang out, and the Void Treasury in Otto's hand, which had been mimicked, hit the Honkai Beast directly.

Under the powerful attack of the Mimicry of Heavenly Fire Judgment, the Honkai Beast was defeated.

[Ding! Mission complete]

With the death of the last Honkai Beast, Chen Luo's mission to prevent all civilians from dying in this turmoil was also completed.

After all, their souls live on forever and will be resurrected in heaven.

How can that not count as being alive?

At this critical juncture, Void Archives no longer bothered to restrict Otto's access to the First Divine Key.

After all, if Otto dies, the Void Archives will fall into slumber once more.

Without sufficient wisdom, it is impossible to awaken the dormant treasures of the void.

Therefore, the Void Archives is, in a sense, the most selective of the Divine Keys in choosing its master.

Gunshots rang out, and the Honkai Beast was successfully eliminated. Kallen breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the little girl's life was safe.

Even now, Karen is more concerned about the little girl's safety than her own special circumstances.

Then Karen felt as if time had stopped, as if the whole world had been put on pause.

"Well, are you satisfied with your ending?" Chen Luo asked, who was floating beside him.

"Am I... in a soul state right now?" Kallen asked, looking at her slightly ethereal hand.

"Pretty much. In short, you're already dead," Chen Luo emphasized.

"Then you still haven't achieved your goal, Mr. Demon, and you still haven't obtained the soul I willingly offered." After realizing that her death was a fact, Karen seemed to feel relieved.

Her mission was complete; she had indeed died protecting civilians, fulfilling the beliefs of the Kaslana clan. What more could she possibly regret?

"And you've even given away a lot of freebies, Mr. Devil. I'm really ashamed. Sigh, it seems that demons aren't so scary after all."

After her actual death, Karen seemed to become a little more open-minded.

"Oh, really? Are you really sure I didn't achieve my goal?" Chen Luo curled his lips meaningfully.

"What do you mean? I really didn't willingly hand my soul over to you." Karen paused for a moment, then began to recall what she had done.

"Alright, stop thinking about it. I wasn't trying to trick you." Chen Luo waved his hand.

"Why, Mr. Devil, did you..."

He didn't seem disappointed at all.

"I almost forgot to tell you, besides my part-time job as the Imaginary Demon, I also work as a Quantum Angel." As Chen Luo spoke, he took out an angel halo from his backpack and put it on his head.

"???" Karen stared blankly at the angel halo above Chen Luo's head.

"What? You don't believe me?" Chen Luo asked.

"Well, it's not that I don't believe it. After all, thinking back carefully, Mr. Demon, you seem to be... now you should be called Mr. Angel, right? Mr. Angel, you don't seem to have ever done anything bad in front of me. And I don't think any demon could send someone to heaven..."

“Mr. Angel, the halo above your head does give me a rather warm feeling, and my intuition tells me that you are not a bad person.”

If you're a fool, you have to be aware of what it means to be a fool, so naturally you have to trust your foolish intuition, which is usually very accurate.

Although Karen is often dull, she is quick-witted and can often see things clearly at crucial moments.

Kiana is the same.

"So why are you so confused? Tell me, and maybe I can answer your question," Chen Luo asked.

"That's right... Mr. Angel, why is the halo above your head incomplete?" Karen, who had accepted the fact that Chen Luo was an angel, asked, pointing to the halo above Chen Luo's head.

"Emmm..." After hearing Karen's question, Chen Luo took off the halo on his head.

The halo in Chen Luo's hand is not fake; it is a real angel's halo.

Poporon's Angel Ring.

But don't forget that Chen Luo bit Poporon's Angel Ring, and then bit it several more times afterward.

So now the angel halo is 3/4 gone, the remaining 1/4 was eaten by Chen Luo.

Therefore, it is incomplete.

"That's not the point! The point is that as a quantum angel, I feel that you meet the standards of a saint in spirit, so I plan to grant you one wish before I die. Make your wish quickly, and then go to sleep. After you wake up, you will usher in a new life." Chen Luo said with some annoyance.

What's wrong with the Angel's Ring being incomplete?

Haven't you heard of a fallen angel?

If there are fallen angels, then it's normal for there to be angels with broken rings.

"...Mr. Angel, after you grant this wish, you won't take my soul for yourself and use it as a dowry, will you?"

"As a demon, I'm interested in souls, but as an angel, I'm not interested in yours. I have professional ethics, you know. So hurry up and make a wish. If you can't make one in 10 seconds, your wish is void. Ten, nine, eight..." Chen Luo started counting down.

"Wait, I have a wish. I want to see Yae Sakura one last time!" Karen hurriedly said, seeing Chen Luo's "take it or leave it" attitude.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Goodbye: Goodbye Yae Sakura

Rewards: 500 Primogems + [Phantom Thief Mask] + Kallen's Affection Level 15

Difficulty: 3 stars

"No problem. But why don't you wish to see Otto one last time?"

If you show such favoritism, Otto will be heartbroken.

“But…” Karen hesitated for a moment before pointing downwards.

“…Otto is right there.” Karen said, pointing to Otto, who was weeping while holding her own body, and she also felt a little sad.

Karen had never seen Otto so heartbroken.

"...That's alright then, I will grant your wish. So you can go to sleep now," Chen Luo replied after a moment of silence.

"Asleep? But I haven't seen Sakura yet."

"You'll see when you wake up." Chen Luo snapped his fingers, and Karen suddenly felt an unprecedented exhaustion. Even though Karen wanted to open her eyes to see the last of the world, she couldn't.

And then, time began to flow again.

Chapter 532 Hi, how are you feeling?

"He appears mighty in public, but suffers in private." Although Chen Luo might have seemed impressive to Karen just now, he had indeed suffered.

After collecting Karen's consciousness from the air, Chen Luo swiftly ran to a house, dragged Karen's coffin out of the kitchen, opened it, and put the consciousness back into Karen's body.

"When did you put the copy on the stage?" Otto had also come over at some point.

"You found it?" Chen Luo pressed down on Karen's head in the coffin while sorting through her sea of ​​consciousness.

For someone like Karen, who is not skilled in mind control, it is extremely difficult to keep her consciousness in someone else's mind and control their body for a long time.

Even if this body is a clone of oneself.

The fact that Su could take over the body of an unconscious comrade and continue fighting in the previous civilization was already astonishing, which shows just how difficult this task was.

As a result, Chen Luo, who is responsible for maintaining the connection between the two bodies, now has a bit of a headache.

“I didn’t notice it before, but I have now. It’s truly flawless.” Otto shook his head.

"Connecting two bodies through special abilities, and then having the consciousness control the clone to fight until death. It sounds like playing a game," Otto murmured.

“But the pain and weakness were real, and Karen herself didn’t notice anything unusual,” Chen Luo added.

“I still respect Kallen’s choice. Simply using illusions to deceive everyone is too low-level. It would also make Kallen’s achievements seem somewhat fake. But if this method is used, then there’s no problem.”

Chen Luo was constantly thinking about how to prevent Otto from sensing something was wrong. Because if Kallen's self-sacrifice to save someone was a hoax, it would mean that the last impression Kallen left in Otto's mind was also false.

This might make Otto feel a little awkward when he learns the truth.

Of course, it's possible that he might not succeed, but since Chen Luo has accepted the commission, he naturally wants to do his best.

So Chen Luo came up with this method.

Without anyone noticing, a specially treated clone was swapped with Kallen's real body, and then a connection was established between the two bodies.

This allows Karen to experience a VR game without even realizing it.

The fact that Kallen felt her soul fly out of her body just now is a sign that her consciousness will return to her body after losing the game.

To maintain this connection, Chen Luo has always borne the brunt of this immense mental strain.

“I switched the two bodies when the other person was already on the execution platform and you had to leave for a while because of something. At that time, the people were in a state of emotional turmoil due to the shock of Karen’s execution and the church’s suppression of them, so it was easy to take action and exert the power of the Herald of Knowledge.”

Why not sooner?

"Do you think maintaining this level of exertion is really easy? My head is starting to hurt."

"..."

Otto didn't care about Chen Luo, because he didn't need to care about him. Instead, he walked to the white coffin he had made himself and looked at Karen sleeping there.

Karen, lying in the white coffin, was completely relaxed. Perhaps because of the great exertion, she slept peacefully, but occasionally her brows would furrow, as if she were thinking about something.

"Karen, my Karen." Otto gently tucked the white hair at Karen's temples with his hand.

"Alright, stop shouting here. She can't hear you anyway. Come on, move aside." Chen Luo said, shoving Otto aside.

"What are you doing?" Otto frowned.

"Let's take a group photo to commemorate this moment." Chen Luo said as he used the camera function built into his talent panel to take a photo of himself and Karen in the coffin.

Drop, 20 raw stones.

Although Chen Luo rarely mentions this matter, his talent lies in being a traveler, not a tool, so travel is Chen Luo's most important talent.

Chen Luo will receive a reward if he takes a photo with special scenery or people at a special time or place.

"Alright, keep acting crazy," Chen Luo said, stepping aside.

"..."

"You saved Karen too, so you shouldn't have any more obsessions at this point, right?" Chen Luo asked, looking at the silent Otto.

“That’s enough. Shall we leave now?” Otto asked.

"No, my Xiaoshi hasn't come back yet," Chen Luo reminded him.

"Then I'll take Karen and go first?" Otto suggested again.

"That won't work either. If the person you invited leaves, the door will close within a minute. You can go back, but you'll have to pay."

Open the door with raw flower stone.

Chen Luo wouldn't do something that would lose money.

"so……"

“You can choose to go back first, or you can choose to stay here with her for a while,” Chen Luo said, pointing to Karen lying in the coffin.

"I'll stay here with her."

“Okay then.” Chen Luo nodded.
