Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

"Is that so..." A trace of disappointment flashed through Otto's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "Then please..."

"I'm sorry, I don't want to."

"You can use all your means to explore my secrets, but in the end, all you will get is disappointment."

"Instead of wasting your time on me, why not pursue your own ideas and plans? After all...no child ever cries, and no gambler ever loses."

Li Mo deliberately dragged out the final conclusion.

He didn't need to tell Otto the final result, he just needed to point out the suspected future fragments.

Otto was certain that he had the ability to travel back in time, so it was a big question as to where he came from.

In this case, Li Mo only needs to reveal a little bit of the future scene, and Otto can imagine it on his own.

What gambler always loses?

From the moment Kallen died protecting the people five hundred years ago and Otto led the rebellion, he had become a crazy gambler at the end of his rope.

Winning in the end means that he made the right bet with his life.

"In that case, I will take my leave now. I wish you all the best, just like I have..."

Li Mo remained silent and watched Otto go away quietly.

Only after confirming that Otto had really left did he smack his lips in dissatisfaction: "Damn, this damn old man didn't forget to curse me before leaving."

He deceived Otto and lost Kiana, so it was very difficult for him to sever the connection between the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and himself.

Otto has a backup plan, but the probability is greatly reduced, and Li Mo is not sure whether it can succeed.

That's why this guy gave a curse that looked like a blessing when he left.

It is an old silver coin.

Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he had fooled this guy away.

Otherwise, with his current weak body, he would not be able to defeat Otto at all. Without absolute power, no matter how much sweet talk he uses, it will be useless. In the end, whoever has the bigger fist is right.

Li Mo is still not sure whether he can die, but he probably can't.

Because the pollution is only temporarily cleared, even if you can accept death once in your current state, you will die instantly once all the pollution returns.

It's true that he is a gambler, but the stakes are not proportional to the rewards. Li Mo is not stupid enough to risk his only uncertain life to verify it.

"Ok?"

Li Mo was still thinking when a woman dressed strangely came towards him.

Mask, sunglasses, wide hat and coat.

How afraid of being recognized...

And she had no idea where she came from.

Li Mo pondered for a moment, then, in order to take the lead, he took the initiative to ask, "Excuse me, who are you?"

Cecilia hesitated for a few seconds and quietly placed the phone on her thigh. The recording had been turned on before she came. All she had to do was to make Li Mo relax as much as possible.

Cecilia placed both hands on the stone table to lower Li Mo's guard.

Of course, Li Mo only looked relaxed, but he was not actually lax.

Li Mo didn't believe that he had nothing to hide when he covered himself up so tightly.

"I'm going to ask you a few questions, and I hope you can answer them truthfully," Cecilia said bluntly.

"..."

Well, I haven’t met this person.

Li Mo concluded that he didn't know many people. Except for a few people who couldn't possibly be here, the rest of the people who knew his identity would never communicate with him in that tone.

I hope he can answer truthfully? Why?

"You ask first, and I'll decide whether to answer based on your question."

After saying this, Li Mo suddenly felt a heavy pressure on his head.

However, the opponent intentionally controlled the strength, so Li Mo was still able to maintain the original state.

Confirmed, can’t beat it.

A Valkyrie of destiny? A second attempt from Otto?

Or did the people from the Anti-Entropy World Snake get the information?

Li Mo remained silent, not saying a word, pinning his hopes on the other party's questions revealing some flaws.

Cecilia: "What is your relationship with Shigure Kirara?"

"..."

Li Mo was stunned. He thought the other party would ask some more obscure questions, but he didn't expect him to be so direct right away.

He has direct control over Honkai energy, a close relationship with Kirara Shigure, and an attitude of intentionally controlling the intensity of pressure.

Mother-in-law?

Cecilia Shaniat confirmed it.

Li Mo restrained his expression, remained as calm as possible, and pretended not to see through it.

He vaguely remembered that in his memories with Kiana, Theresa mentioned Cecilia, who was imprisoned in the Destiny headquarters and was uncertain when she would be released.

Is he dressed so tightly this time because he's worried about his identity being revealed and getting caught? Or is he worried about...

Wait... nominally, she is Kiana's mother!

Theresa and Cecilia are best friends and can talk about anything. Theresa will definitely tell Cecilia about her relationship with Kiana.

Currently, the time in this world has been twisted by Guiqi, and everything is normal except for the destruction of St. Freya's College.

Cecilia must know that Kiana has a boy she likes, so she disguised herself to find out where Kiana is, or... to test the relationship between him and Kiana.

Li Mo took a deep breath without showing any expression, fortunately he did not answer immediately.

It is estimated that Cecilia saw that he was too close to Shigure Kirara, so she couldn't help but show up to question him and seek justice for her daughter.

"We can consider them companions, like-minded partners."

It was a perfect answer, and Li Mo secretly gave himself a thumbs up.

On the one hand, it explains why he is so close to Shigure Kirara, and on the other hand, he is not lying. If Cecilia asks Shigure Kirara, this will most likely be the answer.

Guilty conscience? Not really.

Cecilia was stunned and looked at Li Mo thoughtfully.

Companion? Zundu fakedu?

How come she didn't know that there was such a person in Shigure Kirara's team? He must be someone they met during the previous missions.

He was not lying. After all, the two of them did not do anything inappropriate in the house, except that Shigure Kirara took the initiative to eat the pressed duck on his chopsticks.

After a while, Cecilia nodded, and the next few questions were like a household registration check.

Cecilia: "Where are you from?"

Li Mo: "I'm from Shenzhou."

Cecilia: "Is there anyone you like?"

Li Mo: “Yes.”

Cecilia: “Here?”

Li Mo: “Yes.”

Cecilia: "Are you married?"

Li Mo: "I want to get married, but I'm waiting, waiting for her to complete her mission."

Li Mo's eyes were sincere. Even under pressure, he remained firm as he looked at Cecilia.

He knew very well that this was a test from his mother-in-law and he must not be timid or submissive.

Speak your mind openly and honestly.

Cecilia: "Is it worth it? You may have to wait a long time. Often, people like us... the path she follows doesn't take into account the people around her. If you're just an ordinary person, what you need to pay, what you need to wait, and what you need to endure... is far more than you can imagine..."

"Then do your best to catch up."

Li Mo interrupted Cecilia's euphemistic remarks.

"I know, I've always known, and I'm also very clear about how much I need to sacrifice. But I'm willing to pay. Waiting is not enough. I hope that when she looks back, she can see me, see that I'm right behind her. Whenever she wants to rest, she can find me behind her and rely on me."

"I promised her that she could pursue her ideals and mission to her heart's content."

"Watching her grow step by step and step onto the dazzling stage, this little bit of patience and waiting is nothing."

“I have always believed that everything in the world has a price, and the price of happiness must also involve mutual sacrifice.”

Li Mo looked at Cecilia sincerely and preached carefully word by word.

Li Mo was not acting on the spot. He was just recounting what he had done, thought and felt in his memory.

He wants to prove that he is qualified to protect Kiana.

Even if she becomes an existence that is unacceptable to the world, becomes twisted and distorted.

He still loves her.

Cecilia: "..."

He originally wanted to use his status as an elder and decades of experience to make Li Mo fall into self-doubt and test whether the relationship could stand the test.

But gradually, Li Mo's answers exceeded her expectations.

Far more than.

Faced with his own doubts, he did not leave any room for maneuver and marched forward without retreating.

There wasn't a trace of doubt, suspicion or hesitation in him.

Chapter 31 Our story doesn’t have to be perfect as long as it is profound enough.

You know, even Siegfried, when he was pursuing her, fell into a brief period of self-doubt due to Otto's questioning.

Think about your likes and loves, are they from your heart or from desire?

After repeated estrangement and closeness, I finally understood how to follow my own path and what I really wanted.

Cecilia: "I have one last question for you. A long time ago, someone asked me the same question."

"If your ending was destined to be tragic from the beginning, like a story, when you know the ending is tragic, would you still choose to read it?"

Li Mo paused and replied, "Do you only read the last page of a book?"

"Wouldn't that be a disservice to the author's extensive writing?"

“A good ending elevates things, but that doesn’t mean the process is worthless.”

"For me and the people I love."

“Our stories don’t have to be perfect, as long as they are profound enough.”

"But...if the ending of the story isn't good enough, I think I'll just tear it up and write a satisfactory ending myself."

Cecilia: "That's a pretty self-willed answer."

"We'll meet again in the future, bye."

After saying that, Cecilia hurried away, and the pressure on Li Mo dissipated.

Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief: "Does this count as passing the test of my future mother-in-law?"

"I'm cooperating so well, judging by her reaction, there shouldn't be any big problems. I just don't know how to explain Kiana to her..."

"Not only Kiana, but Theresa as well, the entire St. Freya Academy is gone..."

Li Mo didn't know how Otto explained it to Cecilia, but he had done everything he could.

This world was destroyed once. If Guiqi had not been suppressed by the black coffin, he might not have been able to deal with the spreading weirdness if he had temporarily seized the power in Guiqi's body through special methods.

"Li Mo, Li Mo, here, here!"
