In the twilight, Li Mo stood alone on the deserted shore, his figure elongated like a silent silhouette. The sea breeze ruffled his hair and rustled the corners of his clothes.

The dilated pupils bear witness to——

The waves gently lap against the rocks, making a deep, lingering sound, like a young girl's sigh, or perhaps a response to a lonely heart. As the tide rises and falls, faint blue lights appear beneath the surface, creating ripples.

In a trance, Li Mo suddenly fixed his gaze and read clearly word by word:

"Otto Apokalis."

For some reason, when Li Mo's thoughts were changing, this person suddenly appeared in his mind.

And this person is closely related to himself in the pseudo-human world. When he triggered the pseudo-human law and degenerated into a pseudo-human, he was playing the role of Otto Apokalis.

accidental?

accidental?

accidental?

"No, that's not right. I've already confirmed that Otto in the Weird World knows about the existence of strange things. Even though he behaves very normally, he's exactly the same as the Otto I remember. He still loves Kallen just as deeply, and his behavior and speech style are exactly the same..."

"But perhaps this is a sign that this fake person has been pretending for a long time."

"Only people or things that haven't come into contact with the weird will develop along their original trajectory. Once they come into contact with the weird, not only time, but also thoughts, behavior, and words will change to a certain extent."

"This has been verified in countless strange worlds."

"Anything involving strange human affairs will be twisted and changed over the course of time, and will ultimately lead to no good results."

"And although Otto is clearly tainted with weirdness, he remains exactly the same as the Otto Apokalis I remember. Being too normal is itself abnormal."

Li Mo's mind moved, and he came to the entrance of the strange cave, continuing to wait for seven o'clock the next morning, which was the best time to pass through the strange cave.

Otto in the strange world must know something that he doesn't know.

The origin of the strange stigmata; going to the rental house after his original body died; and the behavior that shouldn't be normal.

"Otto Apokalis, I will remember you."

Li Mo recalled the situation of St. Freya's College in the Weird World in his mind, and walked into the strange cave without hesitation, moving forward in a straight line.

The ground of the strange cave is rugged and bumpy, but this does not affect Li Mo's ability to maintain an absolutely straight walking route.

He had walked this path so many times that he knew it by heart.

The dampness and chill hit me, and the creaking sound of bones dislocating could be heard in the cave.

Li Mo ignored the bones sticking out of the wall and walked straight forward.

There is no concept of time in there. From the first step into the strange cave, you can only move forward.

It was pitch black around, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

However, he no longer needed light to see things.

In the ghost's vision, anything hidden in the cracks and behind the cover is so clearly visible, there is no blind spot.

The only blind spot is people or objects that are also covered by strange rules.

In a trance, Li Mo felt something unusual.

It's light.

The exit is not far ahead, and once you exit, you'll reach the mountains outside of St. Freya's College. Another ten minutes or so will bring you to the walls of St. Freya's College.

"It's not abnormal... I'm the abnormal one."

The light is not abnormal for humans, it just feels dazzling.

Arriving at the exit, Li Mo looked around and found that everything was still the same as when he first came here.

The only change was the presence of many young Destiny Valkyries stationed outside Saint Freya's Academy. However, among every few young Valkyries, there was a more mature-looking Valkyrie, who appeared to have retired and received Otto's instructions to return to Saint Freya's Academy.

Risking his life, he kept an eye on the situation at St. Freya's College.

"The traces of the strange ability are Kiana's time ability. No, they are left behind after Shigure Kirara stole Kiana's strange ability."

Li Mo remembered that after he died in the haunted house, his soul came here and worked together with Shiyu Qiluo, allowing Shiyu Qiluo to control Guiqi's ability for a short period of time.

St. Freya's College should have been locked in time and space at that time, but as time passed, the locked time and space began to return to normal, and it was only a matter of time before it returned to the normal timeline.

Li Mo turned around and stopped looking at Saint Freya, instead focusing his gaze on the floating island in the distant sky.

The Destiny headquarters is there.

"I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer, before I die, and before you live."

Li Mo jumped into the air, and the rocks under his feet shattered. The huge force made the mountain tremble for a few seconds.

He can't fly, but he has a way of moving faster than flying.

Whether it is in the sky or underground, it can be easily reached.

In the huge research room at the headquarters of Sinister, Otto sat in a chair with a troubled look on his face.

He clenched his right hand into a white-gloved fist and hammered it on the table every few minutes.

"Tsk... The plan I've been preparing for all this time has failed. How much longer will it take to achieve my goal and reach the essence of the universe - the Tree of Imaginary Numbers?"

[You have come to this day. I thought everything was according to your plan.]

Xukong Wanzang appeared on his own initiative and spoke coldly to Otto.

For it, there are few things more interesting than watching its current owner, Otto Apokalis, get humiliated.

"It's not really a failure. Although I can't use the Herrscher of the Void, I also gained two people who might be able to travel back in time—Shigure Kirara and her beloved."

⑧Fool: Lies

"She asked me for leave a few days ago and walked into that strange cave with a happy face. I guess she went to another world to meet that person."

"I've been treating Shigure Kirara with favor lately. If she truly possesses the ability to travel back in time, I'm sure she wouldn't refuse my request—I'm just going to travel back five hundred years to a time when I'm alone. Of course, I have to be prepared for her to refuse, and use some unethical means to force her to comply with my wishes."

[Oh, how can you be sure that she won't find out about your dirty plans?]

"So what if she finds out? For someone who can freely control time, even if my plot succeeds, she can easily break it by simply going back in time. I can only think of two ways to make her voluntarily go back in time to a specific point."

"One is to create a reason for her to go back five hundred years, but this is obviously nonsense. After all, Shigure Kirara is not the person from five hundred years ago. There is no reason for her to go back, and the same goes for that person."

"Then that leaves only the second option."

【Pleasure.】

"Haha, if you say so, then so be it. From a practical point of view, haven't I treated the Valkyries quite well? I provided them with the most advanced weapons, the most cutting-edge treatment technology, and the most comfortable resting environment. And they... just wanted to fight for me until they died."

"You still speak so sweetly. If Theresa accidentally heard you, Judas would have already fallen on your head."

"Haha, what does it matter? What dies is just a body. But the will of the fool lives on..."

"Besides, Theresa... is already dead."

Otto stood up, smiled playfully, and reached out to pat Otto Apokalis, who was in the form of Void Manzang.

This was one of the few rights that Xukong Wanzang could enjoy with his permission—to be able to mimic Otto's appearance and feel the freedom of a living person.

Otto walked to the big screen and projected all the satellite footage of what happened in Saint Freya onto the screen, with the corners of his mouth rising more and more.

"Tell me, does this world really have such a power beyond the rules? It's immortal, and its laws override the rules of the world."

"Haven't you seen it with your own eyes? It was even stuck to a dead body."

"Well said, Xukong Wanzang, it seems I've made life too easy for you."

[Not bad. By the way, I do have some ghost-related records here. Would you like to hear them?]

Hearing this, Otto's eyes lit up and he patted Xukong Wanzang's shoulder again: "Based on what you say, I will decide whether to hold you accountable for changing the subject."

[Oh? You're not going to blame me for joking with you?]

"You brought it up yourself. You know, I'm a big fan of helping others. If you don't want to be tied to a stool, staring fixedly at some random post on social media for a week straight, think carefully about what you should say."

After saying that, Otto took out two steel sticks from the cabinet to keep his eyelids from closing, with a sinister smile on his lips.

Xukong Wanzang raised his eyelids, he didn't want to go through the painful experience again.

Really, why is every user so... difficult to deal with?

I won't mention the creator, Mei. Back then, I was still a child, learning all sorts of human knowledge like a newborn baby. I stumbled, swallowed everything I learned, and learned a bunch of different things. It was normal to be scolded for my clumsiness.

Later, civilization was destroyed and post-civilization began. After finally understanding human behavior, he met a strange person again. The person kept asking him to send himself to the fake person, to be yelled at and to be drained of the Honkai energy that he had painstakingly stored.

If any ordinary person got me - the First God's Key, the Void Ten Thousand Treasures, they would have to treat me as a guest of honor and speak kindly to me.

But among the three generations of users, none of them looked up to him.

Either turn him into a tireless tool for 24 hours, or turn him into an ox or horse that can be exploited.

Alas, Jiansheng, it’s so miserable.

Xukong Wanzang couldn't help but sigh: My life is like walking on thin ice!

Rather than all this, I should find a way to make Otto give up that terrifying idea he just had.

Xukong Wanzang coughed twice.

[I don't have any records of ghosts, but I do have records of pseudo-humans. Dr. Mei accidentally discovered records and descriptions of these beings in ancient ruins, but they have not been confirmed.]

[A pseudo-human is an extremely strange creature. No, it can't really be considered a creature.]

They will mimic the behavior and habits of the person they are impersonating, acquiring all their memories and intently imitating their every move. Furthermore, the impersonator will instinctively make requests of those around them. Once someone agrees and complies, that person, regardless of size, becomes the impersonator's replacement. Upon the death of the impersonator, they will immediately be reborn into the body of the next person who agreed to the request.

[How about it? Has your curiosity been satisfied? ]

Xukong Wanzang spread out his hands, sighed, and said helplessly.

Otto remained silent, thinking for several minutes before suddenly speaking: "You said it wasn't confirmed."

Xukong Wanzang nodded affirmatively: "Yes, at least that's how I remember it. I don't think Dr. Mei had any motive to delete it."

"Haha, hahaha..."

Otto couldn't help but laugh when he heard the innocent words of Void Manzang.

Xukong Wanzang was very confused. [What are you laughing at? The data can't be faked.]

Otto continued laughing, and it took him a while to recover. His emerald green eyes stared at Xukong Wanzang, "You have grown too slowly in the past fifty thousand years."

"Why do you think such a ridiculous legend that was obtained by chance would be recorded in such detail?"

[Uh... maybe the ancient ruins have more detailed records.]

"No, no, no. From what I know, the collapse of the previous civilization was much more severe than the current one. Humanity is struggling to even resist the collapse, and is losing ground under the arrival of the Herrscher."

"Humanity's leader, ancient relics, and accidental discovery. Three seemingly reasonable words, yet combined together, they are a profound incongruity."

"But if the pseudo-human really existed, why didn't I record it, and why didn't Dr. Mei delete this memory? Preserving the memory, letting future generations know about this kind of existence, would make it easier to guard against it, right?"

"Who knows? Perhaps preserving that memory will bring disaster to humanity. As the most intelligent being of the previous civilization, she must have had her own considerations when she did this. People of our stature wouldn't so easily do something meaningless."

"Tell me more, is there any other information?"

【there is none left. 】

"Is that really all?" Otto stepped forward, his pretty face almost touching Xukong Wanzang's, his smile fading. "If that's all you have, the punishment will be halved."

Xukong Wanzang paused, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again: [I suddenly remembered that the pseudo-human has another ability that you are very interested in.]

"what?"

[They... can go to any time and space they have existed in, whether in the past, present, or future.]

As soon as he finished speaking, Otto's eyes widened, his mouth opened, and he took a few steps back in disbelief.

After a few seconds of shock, Otto adjusted his expression and asked clearly, "Are you sure?"

"I don't know, it's just recorded. Can you let me go now?"

"Okay, very good, Xukong Wanzang, help me do something."

Xukong Wanzang’s inner thoughts: No—brother?
