In his opinion, even if any accident really happened, Yulan Dell could easily resolve it; in this case, there was no need to worry about it.
"Next, while we wait, it's time to visit another old friend of ours who has an overly strong sense of mission."
After the call ended, Otto smiled strangely and pondered.
"I hope that the Red Kite Immortal won't be too surprised after hearing this news..."
He still had trust in Fu Hua, but he just wanted to take this opportunity to give her another warning, so that she would put away those boring little thoughts, play the role he assigned to her, and complete the tasks he gave her.
As had often happened in the past few hundred years, Fu Hua had expressed her dissatisfaction with him more than once - for example, half a century ago, when she secretly plotted against him in New York.
But every time, he would easily forgive her - after all, he only needed to mention the "protecting China" agreement once, and Fu Hua would immediately and consciously suppress all her dissatisfaction and let him drive her obediently.
Tried and tried.
Even the once simple-minded Red Kite Immortal has changed a lot in the past five hundred years. He has made gratifying progress in his scheming, forbearance, acting skills, etc., but he still cannot change the fundamental fate that is controlled by himself.
"The stronger the sense of mission, the more tragic the fate of the person who possesses it, isn't it?"
Otto chuckled, his lips curved into an impeccable and perfect arc, but the color in his eyes was as cold as ever.
It was precisely because of the example of Fu Hua that Otto could easily "understand" and accept Walter's "change" and be confident that he would still be used by him.
Because this kind of person's weaknesses are too obvious...
"Hi, my old friend, how are you doing?"
As soon as he dialed Fu Hua's number, Otto immediately and seamlessly changed to the warm tone of an old friend meeting, and said to her excitedly,
"I have good news for you: the leader of Anti-Entropy, Herrscher of Reason, Walter, has just been invited to visit me at the Destiny headquarters..."
He had rather evil intentions and wanted to see how Fu Hua would react after hearing the news.
As expected, after hearing the news, Fu Hua was visibly stunned for a moment. It took her two seconds to reorganize her expression and words, and she said expressionlessly,
"That joke isn't funny, Otto."
Have you also discovered the truth about Walter hiding in St. Freya Academy, so you are putting pressure on me in this way?
Fu Hua couldn't help but think.
Walter, who was on the other side of the wall, came to a similar understanding as Fu Hua after a brief moment of confusion and surprise. He immediately held his breath and prepared to listen to a few more words. If something really went wrong, he would run away quickly!
"A joke? No no no, my old friend..."
Otto was very satisfied with Fu Hua's performance. If it was just ordinary unexpected news, it would definitely not surprise her so much. So he decided to suppress it and continue to add fuel to the fire.
"On the contrary, we have already firmly grasped the Herrscher's whereabouts. We have already received an invitation from Orlandel and are expected to arrive at the Destiny headquarters together soon."
Having said this, Otto paused and sighed deliberately,
"Oh, this is really a great honor, isn't it?"
"..."
Fu Hua was speechless for a moment and looked at Otto expressionlessly, wondering what on earth he was up to.
She couldn't believe that the great Bishop of Heaven's Destiny would be so bored as to make fun of her and play such a lame and boring joke.
Is Youlan Dell about to arrive at Tianming with Walter?
So who was that sickly looking guy I just saw?
Walter behind the door was also full of question marks, and he was completely confused, so he continued to hold his breath and concentrate. He also wanted to know what Otto was doing.
"My Lord Bishop, rather than making such a ridiculous joke, I would rather suggest that you mobilize your forces as quickly as possible to resolve this widespread collapse."
Fu Hua said bluntly,
"I'm currently aboard a warship belonging to the Far Eastern Branch, and with so much traffic, I don't have much time to myself like this. So, please be direct with me about what you're looking for, Bishop."
Otto never came to her house without a reason. Every time he contacted her, there must be an intention. Fu Hua had long been accustomed to this and was too lazy to play tricks with him.
If it is really related to Walter, then we should make it short so that Mr. Walter, who is just across the wall, can have more time to respond.
"Okay, I'll keep it short."
Seeing that the emotion Fu Hua showed at that moment was not more of surprise, but more like anger and impatience of being played; Otto couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, so he put away those bad thoughts and got straight to the point.
"A year ago, I asked you to investigate an ordinary person named 'Lin Wei' near St. Freya Academy. It was just a small matter. Do you still remember it?"
Although he asked this question, Otto knew the answer clearly. With Fu Hua's special physique, it was impossible for her to forget anything unless she deliberately stripped it away.
Unless she wants to play dumb.
“…Of course I remember.”
Fu Hua was stunned. The topic had gone a bit off topic. Weren't they just talking about Walter? Why did they suddenly jump to Lin Wei?
And that incident was just a trivial matter to Otto. Now that it was suddenly brought up, could it be...
"Could it be that Lin Wei has fallen into your hands?"
Fu Hua asked with a frown.
No wonder I didn't see him when I went to Singapore to investigate. So that's how it is. This is really bad news...
She couldn't help but think in her heart.
"Haha, it seems that Mr. Lin Wei and you have established a pretty good friendship in such a short time?"
Seeing Fu Hua's frown, Otto chuckled and said,
"You're right. He's currently accompanied by Youlan Dell and will soon be visiting the Destiny headquarters."
"and many more!"
Fu Hua grasped the key point, her eyes became sharp, and she asked in disbelief,
“You mean, Lin Wei is… Walter?”
After receiving a positive answer, Fu Hua couldn't help but pick up a feather and held it upright in front of her eyebrows. It emitted a faint pink light and checked her consciousness. Suddenly, she was puzzled.
"That's right, I'm not dreaming, am I?"
But why does it feel so ridiculous?
Lin Wei is Walter? How is that possible!
Fu Hua, who knew Lin Wei's background very well, was puzzled by this.
Yes, I am clearly here, how could that Lin Wei be Walter?
Walter, who was sitting on the other side of the wall, also felt a sense of absurdity.
Chapter 215: Temptation
"Ok?"
Fu Hua's obviously surprised expression surprised Otto.
What does that mean? Did I guess wrong? Fu Hua and him don’t actually have as deep a relationship as I expected?
"It seems that you don't know the connection between them?"
With his keen eyesight, he could easily tell that Fu Hua's behavior at this moment was definitely not a disguise.
That being said, it's a good thing...
Otto thought silently and felt a little relieved; at least it meant that Fu Hua didn't know the other party well, so it was even less likely that she would become a traitor around him.
"No, that's not important..."
Fu Hua, who had returned to her senses, did not notice Otto's subtle change in attitude, but hurriedly said,
"If it's really him, we must not let him go to the Destiny Headquarters!"
In Fu Hua's opinion, how could Lin Wei, who was so daring that he could stir up waves even without wind, fall into the hands of fate so easily?
Considering that Bronya's abnormal behavior not long ago was also related to Lin Wei, and that this matter was also discovered by Otto first, he once again assigned her to investigate...
"Could it be that after causing so much trouble in Anti-Entropy, that guy is planning to attack Destiny?"
Fu Hua was very anxious for a moment.
After all, Lin Wei had already exposed the existence of the Key of Erosion when he was causing trouble in the Anti-Entropy Movement. Walter was even willing to expose his own existence in order to verify the authenticity of this matter with himself.
If that's the case, then the fact that Lin Wei suddenly fell into Otto's hands could very well be that this guy is using the same old trick again!
After all, if the Key of Erosion is allowed to enter the Destiny Headquarters unimpeded, it is hard to say who will own this floating island, which is arguably the highest level of human technological achievement!
But what was that guy trying to do? Fu Hua found it hard to understand.
There is no benefit in causing a disturbance or even destroying the Tianming headquarters, except for bringing unimaginable chaos to the world and creating a group of mortal enemies for oneself;
Lin Wei may be crazy, but he is not a bad person. It's just that his gambling nature is so strong that it is unreasonable. Moreover, when he does things, he is very purposeful and meticulous, and he will not act without a purpose.
With his cowardly character that seems to like taking risks but actually thinks three steps ahead and always leaves himself a few extra steps to step on, how could he possibly provoke an enemy like Tianming for no reason?
"Could it be that they're trying to take advantage of the fact that the Corrosion Key's existence isn't widely known, so they're planning to strike first and catch Otto off guard?"
Although it was still very far-fetched, Fu Hua couldn't find a second explanation in such a hurry.
In this case, we must stop him!
"Oh?"
Fu Hua's sudden excitement surprised Otto again, so he prepared to dig deeper and asked casually,
"Who do you think shouldn't come to the Tianming headquarters? Is it 'Lin Wei' or 'Walter'?"
"Cough cough cough..."
Fu Hua was about to answer, but was startled by Walter's low cough behind the door. She hurriedly left and found an empty cabin again. Then she calmed down and asked,
"I still don't know why the Bishop thinks they are the same person."
Mr. Walter's risky reminder just now made her come back to her senses: whether it was "Lin Wei" or "Walter", they should have nothing to do with St. Freya Academy and herself at the moment, but he suddenly contacted her for this; this was very likely because he suspected that Lin Wei's affairs were related to herself - in this case, she should calm down first.
"Haha, of course there is a reason."
The warship was crowded with people, so the sudden cough that made Fu Hua quickly move away and find another place did not make Otto suspicious. After all, he was just deep-minded and suspicious, but not to the point of being paranoid.
"Before the Collapse, while investigating the disappearance of Anti-Entropy's top brass, Rita stumbled upon some unexpected clues in Singapore..."
"Singapore!"
Fu Hua was startled, and instantly remembered the encounter with Rita there. She quickly connected the two events and started to make new connections:
Could it be that it was because of my unnecessary addition that I exposed Lin Wei's whereabouts and led to all this today?
if it is like this……
Thinking about the role she might play in this, Fu Hua couldn't help but feel annoyed.
"You're so surprised, is there something else unexpected here?"
When Rita reported the progress of the mission to Otto, she quietly concealed the fact that Fu Hua had unexpectedly appeared. Otto, who was unaware of this, was greatly surprised by Fu Hua's surprise.
"No, it's just that there are too many coincidences, which leads to some bad associations..."
Since Otto didn't expose it, Fu Hua couldn't admit it voluntarily, so she just made up an ambiguous reason to get away with it.
"Haha, that's true."
After all, it happened to be at that time point and in that location in Southeast Asia, which was both anti-entropy and destructive, and it was indeed difficult for people not to make excessive associations, so Otto did not pursue it too much.
Then, he briefly recounted to Fu Hua his experience of tracking down the World Snake in Manila, which was ultimately disrupted by Lin Wei and ended in failure, as well as some of the content that Rita had reported to him.
"...So you're saying that this collapse is related to anti-entropy again?"
Fu Hua was a little distracted. Compared to the collapse, the trivial matter of "Lin Wei had participated in Otto's hunt for the World Serpent" could no longer attract her attention.
Just a few minutes ago, Walter, the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, had just told him that he could not contact several doctors and was worried about the difficulties that Anti-Entropy had encountered. As a result, he turned around and got the other half of the puzzle from Otto, making the whole incident look extremely absurd.
What happened to Anti-Entropy?
With the third collapse as the watershed, these series of events made Fu Hua feel somewhat unfamiliar with the current anti-entropy.
"Unfortunately, we don't have concrete evidence this time."
Otto said with a look of regret, which was equivalent to implicitly admitting Fu Hua's guess; and then changed the subject,
"But it sounds like you're not at all surprised that 'Lin Wei' showed up there?"
His primary concern was still to determine Fu Hua's attitude towards this matter, so as to determine whether he needed to take more countermeasures.
