Collapse, I am actually in the villain camp

Otto didn't hear Li Wen's response. He seemed to know the other party's hesitation and tried to persuade him: "I know what you are worried about. However, as long as we can take them down, then the problems you are worried about will not be a problem after all."

Li Wen closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, he had already made up his mind.

"Okay." He agreed to Otto's plan.

This was a gamble, a gamble on whether he could successfully capture the Herrscher of Knowledge before Kiana's condition worsened.

If he fails, all his previous efforts will probably be wasted.

But he had no other choice at this moment and could only take a risk.

Hearing Li Wen's answer, Otto nodded slightly. "In that case, you can wait for my notification at headquarters."

"Ah."

Just as Li Wen was about to hang up, Otto's voice came again, "Oh, by the way, don't forget to send little Theresa to the same laboratory as before."

"How could I possibly forget something like this?" Li Wen was speechless. "I know you're worried about your granddaughter, so I'll send her to you right away."

"Haha, then let's end this conversation here for now. A lot of the headquarters has been destroyed, and with other matters, I'm afraid I'll be busy these next few days."

After chuckling twice, Otto hung up the phone.

Li Wen shook his head slightly, glanced at the flames and black smoke that had dissipated in the distance, and then rushed directly towards his residence.

……

When he returned to his house, Kiana placed Theresa, who had regained her shape, in the middle of the sofa and was wiping the sweat from her forehead with a warm towel.

Blake pushed his bowl to the front of the sofa and chewed madly, fearing that an accident would suddenly happen and he would never have the chance to enjoy the food again.

"Is the situation resolved?" Hearing the sound of the door opening, Kiana turned her head and looked at Li Wen and asked.

Ever since she met this man, she knew that nothing could stump him.

As long as Li Wen personally intervenes in any issue, a good result will be achieved in the end.

However, in response to her question, Li Wen shook his head slightly and said, "It's solved for now."

"For now?" Kiana looked puzzled.

"The attacker left and I failed to catch him." Li Wen breathed a sigh of relief, looking quite depressed.

If he had known that the person who took control of the body was not the Red Kite Immortal, but the Herrscher of Consciousness, he would have taken precautions in advance and would never have let the other party escape so easily.

As a result, he thought that according to Otto's previous description, whether it was coercion or inducement, both parties could solve the problem in a relatively peaceful way, but he did not expect that the body had already been occupied by the Herrscher.

The other party attacked without saying a word, which resulted in him being unable to lock the other party in the first place, which led to a series of troubles later.

If I had known earlier that he was a Herrscher, I wouldn't have cared about killing him. At most, I could have used the Herrscher core to create another Yu Duchen.

Thinking of this, he leaned back on the sofa next to him with a headache.

"You couldn't even catch it?" Kiana also showed a look of shock. She knew how strong Li Wen was. After Theresa became a Herrscher, she had two divine keys, but was easily defeated by Li Wen. This was enough to show how terrifying the opponent's strength was.

The person who attacked "Destiny" was able to escape from Li Wen. Could it be Kevin from "World Snake"?

Apart from the man with a face on the invincible, Kiana really couldn't think of anyone else who could match Li Wen.

"Was it Kevin who attacked?" she couldn't help but ask.

"No." Li Wen leaned his head against the soft sofa and swayed slightly. "But the attacker does have some connection with him."

"Is there someone so powerful among the World Snakes?" Kiana frowned and thought carefully, trying to search for the corresponding person in her mind. "Could it be that Gray Snake?"

Information about Gray Snake, a core member of the World Snake, instantly popped into her mind.

Li Wen never hid any basic information from her, so she had learned a lot during this period of time.

After thinking about it carefully for a while, she felt that it was not quite right.

Seeing Kiana's puzzled expression, Li Wen said, "You also know that person."

"I know him too?" Kiana was even more confused. Was there anyone she knew who was so powerful?

She thought carefully for a moment, then shifted her gaze to Theresa, who was lying on the sofa in the middle.

It seems that the most powerful person I know is only Theresa...

But Theresa has been "reversing entropy" all the time, and she is the Herrscher of the Stars, not the Herrscher of the Void. How could she possibly attack the floating island of "Destiny"?

Looking at Kiana who was still thinking, Li Wen said the name, "Fu Hua."

"Squad leader?" Kiana blinked, not understanding why Li Wen suddenly mentioned Fu Hua's name.

"The person who attacked the headquarters of "Tianming" was Fu Hua." Li Wen added.

"What!" Kiana's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked like she was doubting her life.

Chapter 40: The monitor's consciousness is with me

No wonder Kiana was confused.

The squad leader has always been with me, how could he possibly attack the "Destiny" headquarters?

If Fu Hua had not suppressed the consciousness of the Herrscher of the Void in her body, she would not have been able to gain the upper hand in the confrontation of consciousness so easily and thus gain the right to use the power of the Herrscher of the Void.

But now Li Wen told her that Fu Hua had just attacked the floating island of "Destiny"...

She showed an incredible look and quickly began to check her body.

Fu Hua's consciousness had been in a deep sleep since that time in Sky City, making it impossible for Kiana to get any response from her.

But judging by the state of the Herrscher's core, she felt that Fu Hua's consciousness should still be in her body, otherwise the Herrscher's consciousness in her body would have been ready to seize her body.

But then, who was the person who attacked the "Destiny" headquarters? Was he deliberately disguising himself as the squad leader?

Kiana frowned, lost in thought.

Seeing Kiana's look of disbelief, Li Wen finally explained, "To be precise, the body that attacked the floating island came from Fu Hua."

"Body?" Kiana's mind suddenly moved, and she turned her gaze to Li Wen.

I'm so tired, so alone

"Yes." Li Wen nodded slightly and continued to explain, "During our brief encounter, I sensed a core within her body. Based on her drastically different behavior, we believe Fu Hua's body may be dominated by the newly born Herrscher consciousness."

After listening to Li Wen's explanation, Kiana's eyes widened. She had never expected this to be the case.

According to what the squad leader had said before, before she was killed by Otto, she used the zeroth rated power of "Yu Du Chen" to bind her consciousness to herself, making her original body a discarded shell.

But now Li Wen told her that the body had become the cradle of a new Herrscher and the agent of destruction caused by Honkai.

No, we must not let the squad leader’s body be taken away!

She took a deep breath, then looked at Li Wen, ready to tell him about Fu Hua.

After all, she is now sure that she can completely trust the man in front of her.

"Li Wen, I have something to tell you." she said.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Kiana's serious expression, Li Wen couldn't help but sit up straight, waiting for the other party's next words in a very formal manner.

Kiana said slowly: "In fact, Fu Hua's true consciousness is in me."

Hearing Kiana's words, Li Wen was slightly stunned, then supported his face with his hands and fell into thought.

After a while, he finally asked, "So the other two consciousnesses in your body are not the Herrscher's consciousness, but the Herrscher of the Void and Fu Hua's consciousness?"

Because there has never been a multi-core Herrscher like Kiana in previous records, although the Herrscher of the Void Sirin during the Second Honkai Impact had a total of six cores in her body at most, "Destiny" did not capture it, so the other party's specific situation at the time cannot be determined.

Therefore, when Li Wen discovered that there were three consciousnesses in Kiana's body, he thought that the two were normal Herrscher consciousnesses.

"Yeah." Kiana nodded and explained, "It's because of the squad leader that I'm still alive today. Otherwise, I would have died in Sky City."

That was the most desperate period for her. The Herrscher of the Void was constantly tempting her, trying to break through her mental defenses.

At that moment, she desperately pressed the barrel of the gun against her throat from bottom to top. She only needed to pull the trigger lightly, and she would completely disappear from this world.

Because of Fu Hua's comfort, she survived, and a series of subsequent events happened, which made her see the possibility of hope.

"I see." Listening to Kiana's words, Li Wen raised his hand and gently tapped his forehead, saying in a state of sudden realization, "Then everything makes sense. And it was precisely because Fu Hua's consciousness was within your body that the Herrscher of Consciousness was able to take control of Fu Hua's body so easily."

Kiana's words also explained his and Otto's doubts. They had clearly faced the existence of the Herrscher of Consciousness in the previous civilization, so why was Fu Hua able to let the other party easily seize control of her body? If the other party's consciousness was no longer in the body, then a Herrscher's consciousness could of course easily seize an empty shell.

Kiana quite agreed with Li Wen's statement. Even though she had become like this, the squad leader could help her suppress the consciousness of the Herrscher of the Void, so that the Herrscher of the Void could not seize control of this body. She could even use the power of the Herrscher of the Void to help other people.

If the squad leader's consciousness still remains in his body, then a Herrscher will definitely not be able to take away the squad leader's body.

Looking at Li Wen who was still thinking, Kiana couldn't help but ask: "That... Herrscher of Knowledge, what are you going to do?"

She didn't want the class monitor's body to become a tool for the Herrscher to do evil, so she wanted to snatch the body back. Among the people she knew, only Li Wen had this ability.

Kiana's emotions were too obvious. Li Wen could see through her thoughts at a glance and replied with a smile: "Of course we have to catch her. But we don't need to be too anxious now."

"What does 'Don't worry too much' mean?" Kiana asked in confusion.

If we continue to waste time like this, won't the Herrscher cause even more serious damage?

Li Wen raised his arm and waved his palm gently. "The power of that Herrscher is about consciousness. It would be difficult for me to find his whereabouts if I were to track him rashly. He could also avoid me as soon as he discovered me.

"So, our current strategy is to wait and see, detecting any possible locations she might be heading to. Once we find any trace of her there, we will rush there immediately and subdue her."

Having said that, he turned his gaze to Kiana who was looking at him, "As for this aspect, I'm afraid I'll need to rely on your spatial teleportation."

Kiana nodded and had no objection to this. She was happy to devote her strength to fighting the Honkai.

However, she still had a doubt.

"But how are you going to confirm where she is going?" she asked quickly.

Li Wen smiled, "This brings us to another issue. During our previous contact, I discovered something interesting. It seems that she was influenced by the memories carried by Fu Hua's body, and she seemed to think of herself as Fu Hua.

"So, just based on this, we can roughly identify where the other party wants to go."

Chapter 41 Kiana: Herrscher of Ice?

"Think of yourself as the class monitor?" Kiana repeated, with a big question mark appearing in her head.

"Yes. Fu Hua is, after all, a contemporary of Kevin. The memories she carries are too numerous and too heavy." Li Wen directly applied Otto's previous theory. "If the Herrscher's consciousness is like a small river, then Fu Hua's body memories are like a vast ocean.

“The sea pours into the river. So, no matter what color the river was before, it will gradually be diluted under the endless waves, and eventually become the same color as the sea and become part of the sea.”

After listening to Li Wen's explanation, Kiana roughly understood the current situation. "So, now we just need to continue waiting for news of the other party's appearance?"

"That's right." Li Wen nodded, "But before that, we have other things to do."

As he spoke, he cast his gaze towards Theresa, who was still unconscious on the sofa, and said, "Take Theresa with you and come with me to take her to receive treatment."

Although he could also send Theresa directly to Otto's research institute, Kiana and Theresa had a very close relationship after all, so Li Wen thought it would be better to let her go along to see the situation.

Moreover, he also wanted to use the instruments there to check Kiana's condition, so as to determine the current state of the Herrscher consciousness and Fu Hua consciousness in the other party.

Hearing Li Wen's words, Kiana directly hugged Theresa in her arms. For the Valkyrie, the other party's petite body really didn't have much weight, so even without wearing armor, Kiana could easily pick her up.

Seeing Li Wen and Kiana preparing to leave, Blake hurriedly gave up eating, took a big bite of cat food, then ran onto the sofa, jumped suddenly, and landed directly on Li Wen's shoulder.

"Are you going too?" Li Wen turned his head slightly and glanced at Blake standing on his shoulder.

Blake wanted to answer, but because of the big mouthful of cat food he had just taken, his entire mouth was stuffed full, and he couldn't squeeze out a complete sentence for a while.

After thinking for a moment, it gave up the idea of speaking and continued chewing the cat food in its mouth.

After all, it has proved its willingness with its actions.

Shaking his head helplessly, Li Wen didn't say anything, but simply opened the door and walked out.

Kiana followed closely behind and walked out of the room.

After locking the door, led by Li Wen, the three people and the cat walked towards the "Consciousness Research Institute".

……

After a relatively long journey, they finally arrived at the door of the "Consciousness Research Institute".

As a secret research institute in an underground facility, the sign hanging at the door directly states the content of the project it is currently working on.

However, thinking of the numerous obstacles and protections before him, Li Wen felt that it was nothing.
