Honkai, why do you only play high-end games?

On the other side, the Tianming headquarters.

"Lin Wei...Lin Wei...Heh."

After disconnecting from Rita, Otto closed his eyes and pondered, searching his memories in his mind, constantly thinking and calculating something.

After a long time, he opened his eyes again, looked at Amber, and said calmly,

"Find the action report that Fu Hua submitted a year ago. I want to take a very, very, very close look at it again."

Chapter 189: Otto is a little panicked

"As you command, Your Excellency."

Although Amber was surprised by Otto's sudden request, she immediately started to carry out the order without hesitation.

In the eyepiece on her face, a stream of light flowed quickly in graceful lines. After quickly searching the database, Amber asked,

"Since 2014, Master Fu Hua has only submitted one written report, which primarily consisted of blood sample analysis data... May I ask if this is the report that the Bishop needs?"

"Yes, that's right, that's what I want."

Otto's expression was still pensive.

"Also, the guy named 'Lin Wei' who spread false rumors online a year ago, before the collapse of Changkong City..."

Otto paused, and suddenly a strange arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he sneered.

"Find his resume and hand it over to me... Oh, I really want to know what kind of big fish dares to use such a 'hidden trick' in front of me in this way?"

What a courage!

Amber always carries out Bishop Otto's orders to the letter.

Therefore, as soon as Otto finished speaking, Amber immediately searched for the document that had long been forgotten in the corner and might even be cleared as garbage at any time based on the keywords in his words; and sent it together with the previous "blood sample test report" to the printer in the other corner of the office.

The printer hummed and spit out a few thin sheets of paper. Amber reached out and picked them up. After checking and sorting them briefly, she handed them to Otto respectfully.

"Your Excellency, please take a look."

"Ah."

Otto reached out and took them, flipping through them briefly, and the memory of the last time he read them came back to him.

Otto carefully looked at the extremely eye-catching indicator "Honkai Resistance: 0" and felt disgusted and ironic. He then glanced at the complete resume of an ordinary person's nearly twenty years of life on the other side - it was just a few thin sheets of paper, and it looked as insignificant as the paper itself.

"Ah!"

Otto scoffed and casually placed them on the table, pressing them down with one hand as if carelessly, before giving Amber a new instruction:

"Send an order to the intelligence department, requiring them to compile a count of all people named 'Lin Wei' in Singapore and report the information to me. I want to review it personally!"

"Yes."

Amber accepted the order without any doubt.

"Does Your Excellency the Bishop have any other requests?"

Otto thought about it and shook his head slightly.

"That's all for now."

"Ok."

After Amber confirmed that nothing was missed, Kuankuan left the office and once again conveyed the will from the Bishop of Destiny.

A moment later, Amber came back with a thick stack of documents and placed them on Otto's desk, sorting them into different categories. At the same time, she reported diligently,

"It has been found that there are a total of 147 people named 'Lin Wei' in Singapore, including 91 males and 56 females. Furthermore, based on age, there are children..."

On how meticulously a good assistant can complete his work.

"Well, you did a good job."

Otto murmured his approval, ignoring most of them and carefully reading the pile that Amber classified as "young men".

Seeing that the bishop had no new instructions, Amber once again stood quietly by the side.

Yuno also strictly abided by her promise - never to interfere with Otto, and stood quietly on the other side, but her eyes were once again on Otto.

What was this guy doing? He ignored something as important as Honkai Impact and paid so much attention to a name?

Yuno didn't understand, but she knew the other party wouldn't tell her, so she didn't bother asking.

Otto himself did not make any sound, but quietly flipped through the information of "Lin Wei" one by one. The huge office seemed empty and quiet for a moment, and only the rustling sound of flipping papers could be heard clearly.

Otto flipped through the documents very quickly. Whenever he saw a resume, he would just glance at it and then turn it over to look at the next person's resume, as if he was just looking for a very obvious trace in it.

Suddenly, the rustling sound of paper turning quickly stopped.

Otto was holding a piece of paper that looked normal, squinting his eyes as he examined it carefully—to be precise, the ID photo on it.

Otto stared at the standard bare-headed photo in the corner of the form with a puzzled expression. At the same time, he slowly raised his other hand from the table and picked up the resume that was pressed underneath. He also slowly picked it up and placed it side by side with the information in his other hand. He looked up and saw everything clearly.

"Haha, there are actually two people in the world who are so similar?"

Otto laughed, but there was no warmth in his laughter, and his eyes revealed the same coldness.

Two profiles, two photos, although the temperament and demeanor of the people in them are completely different: one is a little thin, with a stiff and rigid smile, and looks unremarkable;

In the other photo, although he was equally thin, his facial lines looked much tougher and more unrestrained, especially his half-smiling eyes that seemed to be looking through the paper, as if they were looking into each other's eyes. Otto couldn't help but frown slightly.

Why is this man's smile so annoying? Otto couldn't help but wonder.

To be fair, based on these differences in temperament and expression alone, if you meet them in different places and at different times, you may not be able to tell at first glance that they are the same person.

But at this moment, if you look for similarities carefully, it is easy to find that the facial features in these two photos are almost identical.

Twins? How could that be possible?

Otto sneered. What twins would have the same name?

Which twins would have one being from China and the other being a North American of Chinese descent?

Otto compared the two documents and looked at them again and again. Finally, he couldn't help laughing and said with emotion,

"Ha! What a clever trick..."

She had actually completely fooled herself, and hadn't noticed anything unusual for a whole year - if it weren't for the trouble with Anti-Entropy, neither Rita nor herself would have been able to discover the weirdness of these "two" Lin Weis.

One appeared in Saint Freya in March 2014;

The other one has been living in seclusion in Singapore since March 2015...

What a coincidence! He disappeared for a whole year!

"Oh, so you disappeared for a year to avoid being discovered by me?"

A year later, change your appearance and identity and become active again?

As for not changing the name, it is not impossible to explain:

After all, in a city you can find hundreds of men and women, young and old, named "Lin Wei". This name, whether it is a surname or a name itself, has no special meaning.

But anyway, such trivial matters no longer matter, because...

"Haha, it's true that after three days of absence, one should look at others with new eyes..."

Otto looked into the pair of half-smiling eyes in the photo, and muttered to himself with a half-smiling expression,

"You're right...Walter?"

At this moment, Otto had already identified the so-called "Lin Wei" as Walter.

After all, if we think from the perspective that "Lin Wei is Walter", all questions can be reasonably explained:

For example, the inexplicably appearing "Honkai Resistance: 0" physique is simply impossible to appear in this world - but it can be created by the Herrscher of Reason.

Apart from that, only Walter could have such a close connection with Anti-Entropy, and only Walter could express the kind of anger Rita described because of the stupid things Anti-Entropy did;

Only Walter could, after the Honkai outbreak, put aside past grudges and cooperate with the enemy in front of him.

And, only Walter could do such a stupid thing before the collapse of Changkong City!

“But since Walter was there at the time, why didn’t he stop Cocolia?”

Otto couldn't understand it and could only guess reasonably.

"Could it be that his physical condition is so poor that he is no longer able to suppress his subordinates?"

After all, a makeshift team is just a makeshift team and it is really not presentable.

As for Lin Wei's appearance, it was completely different from what Walter remembered...

This is not difficult to understand.

After all, it was only after the Second Honkai that the second Ruler of Reason revealed his true form for the first time. Before that, he had been walking the world as "Walter Joyce".

After the second Honkai outbreak, Walter almost disappeared; if Otto had not discovered his whereabouts again in 2005 for some reason, he would have thought he was dead.

"Oh, it really has the tenacious vitality of a cockroach!"

Otto snorted and sneered.

After that, Walter disappeared again and has not been seen since then - with the "disguise" technology of the Ruler of Reason that was reconstructed from the cellular level, if he didn't show up on his own initiative, even gods wouldn't be able to find him!

"The question is, why did he appear in Saint Freya last time? What did he want to do?"

The old problems were solved, but new problems kept coming up, and Otto became more and more confused.

"Why did he disappear after that? Did he achieve his goal?"

Otto was puzzled. If he had not discovered his abnormal behavior and sent Fu Hua to investigate him, did he really intend to live in seclusion beside St. Freya's Academy?

unless……

Otto's hand, which had been rubbing his chin, unconsciously clenched into a fist and he muttered to himself,

"Unless, meeting Fu Hua is his purpose..."

In this way, everything makes perfect sense - Walter learned about Fu Hua's life experience from some ancient civilization ruins, and learned about the Herrscher of Erosion, and based on this, he set a trap for Fu Hua. It is perfectly reasonable.

After all, if it were me, I would definitely do the same thing, Otto thought silently.

"What exactly did Fu Hua promise him?"

This matter concerns K-423, so Otto can't help but think the worst.

"In the worst case scenario, is Fu Hua still trustworthy?"

As soon as this thought came to mind, Otto extinguished it himself, shook his head and said to himself,

"No, no, no... Fu Hua will never betray the agreement no matter what. I know this very well..."

But not betraying others doesn't mean she won't be controlled by others - he is also very clear about this.

This is troublesome!

As for Otto's own attitude, he actually didn't mind Anti-Entropy making some small moves against Saint Freya, and he even welcomed it - after all, establishing a clear enemy would help promote unity and feelings within the small group scheduled to participate in the experiment.

But all of this has two prerequisites: first, it must not exceed Otto's control range, thus ensuring that all actions of anti-entropy are minor, small disruptions but big help;

Secondly, Fu Hua couldn't afford to have any problems. This way, she could personally intervene and correct the situation at any time, ensuring that everything always progressed in the direction Otto desired...

But now, problems have arisen in these two aspects at the same time. If one goes wrong, everything may be ruined. Otto can't help but panic!

Behind him, Yuno had been observing Otto silently, watching him sometimes silent, sometimes excited, and sometimes anxious. She couldn't help but frown and took a step aside.

But Otto was unaware of this at the moment and was still immersed in his own world of thought.

"Regardless of whether Fu Hua is reliable or not, we should not act rashly for the time being."

Otto sorted out his thoughts bit by bit.

"No matter what the answer to this mystery is, as long as I catch this so-called 'Lin Wei', everything will naturally be revealed to me!"

The idea has been decided, but who will carry it out?

Rita?

After all, she is in Manila with Lin Wei at the moment. With the right time, place and people, it seems that she is the most suitable person to carry out this mission.

However, after a brief thought, Otto rejected the proposal.

"If the opponent is truly the First Herrscher, then this attack must be devastating and foolproof. Having Rita do it on his behalf still carries considerable risk."

That being the case...
