The video of the collapse, will he and Kiana perish together at the beginning?

If the Fool really has that special feeling towards me, then I can take advantage of it.

“Very good.” Otto put down his tea and smiled at the Fool. “Please sit down. It’s not good to stand all the time.”

"Yes!!!"

Damn it! Kallen, which eye of yours is so blind that you give up on a man like this?

“As long as Your Excellency the Bishop likes it, I’m afraid it may not suit your taste.” The Fool sat opposite Otto, his fingers pinching the corner of his clothes out of nervousness.

"The tea you brew is really good. Even Amber can't compare to you." Otto did not mean to compliment him. The tea brewed by the Fool was indeed better than that brewed by Amber. In Otto's memory, few people could brew tea comparable to that brewed by the Fool.

"Thank you, Lord Bishop."

Fortunately, Amber went out, otherwise he would have to consider whether he would offend the other party.

“Don’t be nervous.” Otto’s smile was as warm as spring breeze, which made the Fool feel much more relaxed.

"Let's talk about that video."

"Don't worry, I'm already investigating the video. We will protect you well before we get the result."

"As an employee of Tianming, I will always support you."

Otto's smile makes people feel warm, but I don't know whether it is a false performance or a true expression of his heart.

"Lord Otto, before that, I want to tell you something, about me, about you, about this world and Honkai."

But no matter what Otto thinks, the Fool still intends to tell him everything he knows. This is both his plan and his sincerity, as well as a test of the system.

"Lord Otto, what I am about to say may be a little unbelievable to you, but I hope you can listen to it."

If you can't solve the problem yourself, then leave it to others.

The fool believes that Otto's five hundred years of wisdom will surely allow him to make better choices than his own knowledge of less than a hundred years.

"I am not from this world..."

During today's time, the Fool told Otto everything he knew.

About his past, about his origins, about everything he knew about this world, and all his thoughts...

Otto did not interrupt the process. He listened to the Fool's narration slowly with a smile, as if it were the self-narration of a mental patient.

But when the Fool mentioned the Queen's coming, Otto's expression finally changed...

As the Fool spoke, Otto's smiling face gradually became serious.

Finally, when he heard that Kallen was resurrected, the smile on Otto's face completely disappeared.

“That’s all I know, Lord Otto…” The Fool took a sip of tea to moisten his lips which were dry from talking so much.

After a long time, the smile returned to Otto's face, but this time the smile was different from before.

He thought the Fool was a rough diamond that had not yet been polished, but he was wrong.

A fool is not a rough diamond, but a master of pretending to be confused.

He took a step back to advance and threw all the problems to him.

If it were other matters, Otto might not care, but this matter touched upon his most fundamental interests.

49

That's what it's all about Kallen.

This forced him to carefully consider all possibilities.

This is the fool's trust in him, but also a test for him.

“Fool, I do admit that I underestimated you before. You are the first person who has made me feel so difficult in these 500 years.” Otto picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"Although I don't want to admit it, you did it. Kallen is very important to me."

Kallen is very important to him. For Kallen, he is willing to give up his life and everything he has as long as he can save Kallen Kaslana.

But the man in front of Otto was more greedy and covetous than him.

He wants to save everyone he cares about and change all the tragedies.

Stupid, even more stupid than him! This man is worthy of his name of fool, he is stupid to death!

"Lord Otto, I don't mean to embarrass you, but I feel that I can't solve the problem at hand with my wisdom, so I want your help."

The Fool lowered his posture again, "Lord Otto, you are the only person I can trust in this world."

"I understand your thoughts. You are very similar to me, except that you are more greedy than me." Otto placed his empty teacup in front of the Fool and motioned him to pour the tea.

"Of course, I have no right to say anything about you. After all, in the eyes of others, you and I may be the same kind of people, both of us are fools."

“Lord Otto is the smartest person I have ever met, no doubt about it.” The Fool filled the teacup and handed it back to Otto, and also poured himself a cup of tea.

"Then I am truly honored." Otto took the teacup and took a sip. "The tea tastes good, so good that I want to keep you by my side, but..."

“You have more important things to do, my friend.” Otto put down his teacup and extended his hand to the Fool.

“I hope our cooperation will be pleasant and for the world we desire.”

The Fool held Otto's hand and smiled.

"It is an honor to work with you, Lord Otto."

"For the world we want, I will work hard..."

14 He is Otto Apokalis

"What a greedy and difficult person he is." Otto rubbed his head as he looked at the empty seat left by the Fool.

He had used up too much brainpower when discussing the plan with the Fool just now, and in the process, Otto once again refreshed his understanding of him.

Madman, that guy is absolutely a complete madman, although he has no right to criticize others.

Crazy and paranoid, if you get entangled with that kind of man, it will definitely be a lifelong nightmare.

Otto was very glad that he did not choose to be his enemy, otherwise he didn't know how much of an obstacle this would cause to his plans.

But that guy really doesn't want to make any concessions.

Asking the Fool to pour tea just now was a test for him.

If the fool obediently pours him a cup of tea, it means that the fool can only listen to him and be inferior to him in future plans.

But the fool also poured himself a cup.

The Fool means that he can listen to Otto, but he also has his own ideas and bottom line, and will not act completely according to Otto's plan.

In the end, Otto accepted the cup of tea handed to him by the Fool, which also meant that he agreed to cooperate with the Fool and allowed the Fool to act on his own.

If the Fool refuses, their partnership will be broken before it even begins.

Whether it is Otto or the Fool, they are people who will not be inferior to others.

"But what confidence does he have to negotiate these terms with me?"

No matter how powerful the Fool may be in the future, he is just an ordinary person now. With just a flick of his finger, Otto can make him disappear without a trace in an instant.

"Did I overlook something?" Otto still had too little information.

If the Fool doesn't tell him what he knows about the Honkai plot, then almost all of his plans will be revealed to the Fool, and there will be no secrets at all.

The information gap is too big.

In the game with the Fool just now, the opponent was too confident, so confident that it seemed unreal, as if he was acting.

When the two were discussing the plan just now, the Fool showed some immaturity and flaws, but he did not hide them and showed them all to Otto.

It's like telling Otto, he's like this, what can you do?

It was an open conspiracy from beginning to end, without a single hint of concealment.

This made Otto even more difficult.

He even told Otto directly that he was afraid of mental attacks like Yu Duchen's, but also advised Otto not to use such things on him.

Although they had spent very little time together, Otto could sense that the Fool had not hidden anything from him. So it was not that he deliberately did not want him to know about this matter, but that he could not know it.

"He is obviously an ordinary person, but he has such confidence. There is only one possibility. The trump card he holds is not something he can control, and it is a passive threat to him! For me, it is also..."

"The only thing that can threaten both me and him at the same time and is not under our control is this video system." Otto thought as he looked at the video system in front of him.

“He’s telling me not to take it too seriously.

50

"That means there is something like a confidentiality agreement in this system. If that's the case, then everything can be explained."

"The Fool knows some secrets about this system. This secret is likely to have a bad impact, so he can't let more people fall into it."

“Even if the Fool knows this secret, as long as he, as an outsider, does not join the game, then this secret will never pose a threat. However, if someone in the game knows this secret, it is likely to change the development of the world, or even lead to a worse outcome.”

"Is this what you are worried about?" Otto seemed to have figured it out completely.

Now there is only one thing that Otto does not know, and that is what secret the Fool wants to hide. But Otto knows that as long as he is in the game, he will know the secret sooner or later.

So Otto is not in a hurry now.

"Amber." Otto called out Amber. He now needed Amber to accomplish something.

"What does the Bishop want me to do?" Amber walked to Otto and waited for his instructions.

"First of all, regarding the impact of this incident on ordinary people, we should still control public opinion as before, but we can release news about the Fool to Anti-Entropy and the World Serpent in moderation."

"We will imprison the Fool and keep him under close surveillance."

"Second, have the New Zealand branch stop any experiments on the Desire Gem and immediately take Wendy to the Destiny headquarters for treatment. Without endangering her life, remove the Desire Gem."

"But we have to announce to the public that a mysterious organization has kidnapped Wendy and the Desire Gem."

“Third, let Rita protect the Fool and report all of his daily situations to me. There is no need to hide this from the Fool. You can tell him directly. He won’t care.”

The appearance of this video can be said to have attracted all the hatred towards the Fool.

And Otto is no longer suitable to be a villain. What he needs to do is to let the Fool take his place and become the mastermind behind the scenes.

Although the Fool has been exposed and can no longer be the mastermind, he can still be a villain.

And this is what the Fool himself proposes.

"That's all the tasks, go do it." Otto returned to his seat and created a new folder on his computer.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Amber left.

"Then I should do what I have to do."

Otto typed in the words "Adventers".

All he had to do was to edit the information about the Adventer that Einstein found in the video and use it to confuse Resilience and the World Serpent.

As a time traveler, the Fool is naturally the Adventer.

And the video system is the power that comes from outside the world!

“It’s already afternoon…” The Fool looked at the time on his phone.

After discussing the plan with Otto, the lunch break was completely over, and this was just the initial version of the plan.

“Although my life was fulfilling, it was really tiring!” During the time he communicated with Otto, the Fool learned a lot of knowledge.

"But I am fortunate that Lady Yulandel did not ask me to change the sandbags during this period." Doing less work is naturally good for a fool.

"But I don't know if Lord Otto understood my hint."

"How could I come up with such a stupid question?"

That man was Otto.

Fools believe him for no other reason.

The mere fact that he was Otto Apokalis was enough.

No other reason is needed.

He was Otto Apokalis!
