"But, Ayu, you have to make one thing clear."
Looking at Lin Yu in front of her, Rita changed her previous frivolous attitude, and her eyes and attitude suddenly became extremely serious.
"Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people who are unaware of 'collapse', they still maintain a world that can maintain daily life at any time."
"But for those of us who know that the collapse is imminent, tomorrow could be the last day of our lives at any time."
"I don't mean to say anything discouraging, but in this apocalypse where death could happen at any time, many things can be compromised and ignored."
"The girls around you are all good girls. Rather than choosing only one and leaving the others sad, I would rather you bear the pressure and be a scumbag accused by the world to bring them unfair but at least some happiness."
[......Ah, the topic has suddenly become so serious. ]
Yes, the topic has become so heavy all of a sudden.
"Okay, it's not my intention to make the topic so serious. Compared to these things that don't need to be taken too seriously, now, Ayu..."
"——Tell me, who do you like?"
If Lin Yu had any thoughts or emotions in his mind now, the young man who was being stared at by Rita would probably only feel embarrassed.
Ah, if I say at this moment that I want to hug everyone except Bronya, will my sister beat me to death?
This appetite... is a bit too big.
"Oh, you don't even want to talk about that."
Looking at Lin Yu who was obviously embarrassed at this time, Rita sighed slightly and asked Lin Yu again.
"Then change the subject - what do you think of Lady Bianca?"
"It seems like you are ambushing me here, sister."
After listening to Rita's words, Lin Yu realized what Rita's previous preparations were for.
If you think about it carefully, Rita, who regards Yulandel as her closest person, will of course try to find ways to indirectly attack Lin Yu, the culprit, after realizing some of Yulandel's thoughts.
"if not?"
At this time, Rita, who was stirring her coffee with a small spoon, sighed helplessly.
"Now that your mental state seems to be a little better than before, it's time to put these things on the agenda."
"Moreover, considering the changes in your actions and attitude from Changkong City to now, I can probably guess that you got some information that you shouldn't know from somewhere."
"After knowing that information, and knowing the true identity of Miss Kiana, you may have realized a lot of things."
In the past, Lin Yu knew that he couldn't keep his actions secret from Rita forever.
His sister-in-law has an excellent mind. With her excellent mind and her understanding of Lin Yu in the past two years, Rita, who is Otto's confidant, analyzed some information based on the current situation, which is actually what should happen.
It's very troublesome.
I didn't want to involve my sister.
But now, Otto has been hiding for so long without showing up, which can only mean that he must be preparing to make big news.
At this time, it is better to tell everything than to hide it.
When facing Otto, it wouldn't be too much even if I added a hundred and twenty cautions.
For example, now, he might have been planning to use Sister Rita's parents as hostages to threaten Sister Rita to do things for him.
In the following time, the private room became extremely quiet.
And Rita did not urge her brother. After all, she knew that she needed to give her brother some time to think and make reasonable judgments.
"Ha, since I can't hide it from my sister, I'll tell you everything."
After organizing his thoughts, Lin Yu said to Rita.
"I participated in that mission without telling you and Bianca. Besides wanting to take the opportunity to prove my worth and climb higher, it was also because I knew something I shouldn't have known."
"For example, Bishop Otto's implementation of the Sirin Project was not actually to study the power of the Herrscher of the Void, but to directly resurrect the Herrscher of the Void and let her come to this world again."
"For example, Kiana is the Herrscher of the Sky's essence, and Cocolia is preparing to cause the third Houkai in Changkong City."
"If Kokolia's plan had succeeded, then the Herrscher of Thunder would have destroyed everything around it, and the Herrscher of Void might have awakened. After realizing this, I think you can understand why I chose to go to that place."
"You..."
After stretching out her right hand and pinching Lin Yu's cheek hard, Rita said angrily.
"It's fine if you don't say anything, but it makes me angry when you talk about this!"
"You were able to survive that time only because of luck, you know that! You acted recklessly, you just acted recklessly, do you know how worried Lady Bianca and I were about you!"
"Yes, I did survive by luck, but - what else could I do?"
Lin Yu, whose face was being grabbed by Rita, continued to speak incoherently.
"When I think about the millions of people who will die in Changkong City, and the possibility that two Herrschers will awaken at the same time, do you want me to just sit there and watch from the agent reserve base at headquarters?"
"Even if you knew these things, Sister Rita, you would not be able to carry out your actions smoothly under the supervision of the bishop. At this time, if I don't want the Honkai to continue to wreak havoc, I can only rush forward by myself."
Faced with Lin Yu's completely irrefutable words, Rita at this time...
——obviously even angrier.
"...Tsk, I can't argue with you, forget it."
"Sister, I know you are worried about me, but as you said, we are warriors who may die at any time."
"When the collapse came, Bishop Otto stood by and watched, the people of Anti-Entropy were powerless, and the people of World Serpent were lurking in the dark, ready to reap the benefits. If I didn't take action at this time and just watched the collapse rage, I think I would never forgive myself even if I survived."
"And speaking of this, I think that you, sister, have clearly realized Bishop Otto's true thoughts by saying these things today."
"Yeah, I guess I guessed it."
Mentioning the existence that she once tried to serve but now hated, Rita's face was filled with disgust and dissatisfaction.
The maid, who should have been extremely elegant, even made Lin Yu feel a chilling murderous intent from her at this moment.
"The plans that Bishop Otto told Lady Yulandel and me were all false."
"Now I can see that he is just pretending to be ready to deal with Honkai, but secretly, some of his actions are obviously helping Honkai grow."
"Yes, that's right. Sister, think about it now. If I had told you all those words at that time, do you think that you, who were being 'cultivated' by Bishop Otto at that time, would he still value you so much if you revealed your true colors?"
"...Maybe by that time, I will be dealt with in advance."
After hearing the word "respect" from Lin Yu, Rita showed a sarcastic smile.
"I know exactly how strong I am."
"Although I am a S-rank Valkyrie of destiny, in the eyes of the bishop, I am probably just a chess piece that is more convenient to use."
"A chess piece shouldn't have its own thoughts. When a chess piece knows something it shouldn't know, Bishop Otto will probably deal with it no matter how useful it is."
"So, sister, you know everything so well - when are we going to Klosten?"
Lin Yu, who had officially entered work mode at this time, folded his hands together and spoke calmly to Rita.
"My uncle and aunt are both in Klosten. In other words, if Otto has any ideas that are unfavorable to my uncle and aunt, you, my sister, will be controlled by him."
"Now that Otto is in hiding, he will definitely prepare to make some big news. Rather than being controlled by others at that time, I think it would be better for you to go to Klosten now to pick up your uncle and aunt."
Just as Rita was about to ask something else, there was a knock on the door.
"Excuse me, you two."
Hearing the knock on the door at this time, Rita said very dissatisfiedly.
"...Shouldn't I have already told you not to go near this private room next time?"
"That's true, but..."
Hearing that the waiter's tone outside the door became very embarrassed, Lin Yu gave Rita a calm look and asked the waiter outside the door.
"Well, waiter, we all have to work hard to make a living. It's not easy."
"Just tell me what you want to say. I guess someone from the higher-ups asked you to lead the way to find us, right?"
"Just let him in. I believe the comrades in my hometown are not the ignorant ones."
"Mr. Lin Yu is really quick-witted."
After getting Lin Yu's approval, a man in a suit pushed open the door, walked into the room and bowed to Rita and Lin Yu.
"Ms. Rita Rossweisse, nice to meet you."
"And Lord Lin Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I feel relieved to see that you are doing well now."
"...Oh, it's you."
After recognizing that the other party was the Shenzhou fellow who had passionately argued with the Tianming members at Jiuyou last time, Lin Yu asked him.
"I was in a hurry last time, so I didn't ask for your name."
"Just call me Li Pu."
Although I complained about other people's names being wrong, my friend, your name is really...
Quite outrageous.
The man who said the name, after seeing that Lin Yu was not dissatisfied with his arrival, found a seat and sat down very naturally.
"I know my sudden visit may have caused some trouble to you two, but I have no choice but to act rudely."
"after all......"
"——The immortal has ordered that Lord Lin Yu be invited to Mount Taixu for a chat."
After hearing this, Lin Yu was not surprised that the martial artists from Shenzhou would come to him.
In fact, the reason why he used the quantum teleportation system to bring Rita here was because if you just find a random coffee shop in Shenzhou, at least not all of them would be people of destiny.
During the past five hundred years, Tianming has probably been secretly reaching out to the interior of Shenzhou.
However, as a major force that can "not interfere" with Tianming on the surface, Shenzhou has not been infiltrated by Tianming to the same extent as Tianming's branches.
In addition, since Fu Hua returned to Shenzhou under the name of "Red Kite Immortal", Shenzhou has become tough in its external relations. The dormant members of the Destiny in Shenzhou will probably restrain themselves a little during this period of time.
Talking about work here, the probability of people from Tianming knowing about the information after it is exposed is extremely low. This is the reason why Lin Yu returned to Shenzhou to talk about these things.
As for Fu Hua sending someone to come to the door, this seemed very normal to Lin Yu.
The Herrscher of Consciousness in the previous era could use special means to erode the consciousness of countless people, and although the Herrscher of Consciousness in this era seems to be a little different from the Herrscher of Consciousness in the previous era, it is not difficult for her to perceive the "familiar consciousness" by using divergent consciousness.
If there was something that Lin Yu didn't expect, it was probably that the people from Taixu Sword Sect were so efficient that they came directly to his door before he and Rita left the cafe.
Looking at the silent Lin Yu, the martial artist who called himself Li Pu naturally did not dare to say too much.
As for Lin Yu’s identity, now not only within the Taixu Sword Sect, but the entire Shenzhou knows that the other party is the disciple of the Chiyuan Immortal.
The young man sitting in front of him at this moment was not only the strongest knight of destiny, but also one of the disciples of the Red Kite Immortal. He was also a strong man with a terrible record of easily defeating the Herrscher.
If there is a normal person sitting here, it is impossible for him to say more words that will lead to his own death when he has already offended the other party.
Looking at the swordsman who was sitting upright in front of him, wanting to say something but not daring to open his mouth, Lin Yu chuckled and patted the other's shoulder.
"Okay, Brother Li, don't be so nervous. If Master gives the order, I will naturally go back to talk to Master."
"But right now, I have other things to do. When you go back to report, please tell Master that I will go to Mount Taixu to find him in half a day."
"......ha."
After listening to Lin Yu smiling and giving his satisfactory answer, Li Pu breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is a good relationship. I feel relieved."
After saying this, Li Pu immediately rushed to the door and closed it gently.
"Then I won't bother you any further. Please continue."
After their conversation was interrupted, neither Lin Yu nor Rita had the heart to continue communicating here.
Rita, who values her family very much, once thought that her parents might become Otto's hostages, she wanted to rush directly to Klosten and take her parents to a safe place as soon as possible.
"Okay sister, I already have an almost perfect solution."
After putting his hand on Rita's shoulder, Lin Yu snapped his fingers lightly.
As Lin Yu made this move just to show off, the scene in front of the two of them suddenly changed.
"here it is......"
Looking at the architectural style in front of her, Rita looked around with a little confusion, and then said in surprise.
