The gun went off, but the 'bartender' who pulled the trigger had a look of surprise on his face that shouldn't have appeared.
The ghost, who should have been shot in the head by this bullet, disappeared completely from under his nose at the last moment.
Not only that, the bartender even found that there were many vines on his body that shouldn't have appeared.
This is the ability of that little bitch Yuno? !
No, these vines are too fragile.
The bartender crushed all the vines with just a little effort, and an extremely ugly look suddenly appeared on his face.
Someone who has both the ability to transfer space and create vines...
——Lin Yi!
Why would this little girl take action at this time!
No matter how much he planned, the 'bartender' could not have expected that his plan would not be completed because of such a thing.
Although he has used Yu Duchen to interfere with the ghost's cognition, how safe can the mimicry of Yu Duchen be?
It's obviously too late to find that little imp to kill the ghost now.
Even a plan like this could fail. My luck has been really bad lately.
There is no way, there is really no way.
Catching Lin Yi is a very tempting idea, but I didn’t bring the Yellow Springs Staff when I came here today.
...I must be crazy. A trump card like the Staff of Yellow Springs should be used to deal with the most troublesome enemies.
Whatever, whatever, exposing it early is exposing it, exposing it late is exposing it, now let's act on the premise that the ghost will spit out all the information after waking up...
What? ? ? ?
After hearing the voice that directly connected to his brain, the 'bartender' was suddenly stunned.
God, what do you mean?
After listening to the message sent by the other party, the 'bartender' nodded slightly and immediately chose to leave this place.
Although he could disguise his appearance as anyone through his Soul Steel Body, he had failed twice in this regard and no longer expected to fool anyone with this trick.
Back then, his true identity was finally revealed in front of the Anti-Entropy group.
And now, he was facing an A-rank Valkyrie who was in charge of intelligence, and he was seen through the moment they met.
After these two failures, if he still thinks he can fool others with his looks alone, then he is a fool who treats other people as idiots.
That's it, that's it.
Now God and I are on the same side, so I will just believe what He says.
For the next period of time, I'd better continue to lie dormant.
After my plan is fully completed...
——The Ruler of the Void and the One Vehicle of a Thousand Worlds will all be within my grasp sooner or later!
..
The next day. Anti-Entropy Headquarters
In the Anti-Entropy headquarters, Xier, who was waiting for someone, looked around nervously.
However, Rosalia and Lilia, who were beside Xier, did not feel nervous at all.
"Sister Xier, what happened to you today?"
"Eh? I...I'm fine!"
Looking at the two companions from the orphanage surrounding her and looking at the expressions on her face, Xier coughed twice, then smiled and said to them.
"I was just thinking, when I see Sister Bronya later, what should I say?"
"Hey, that's right."
"Come to think of it, when Seele was in the orphanage, she had a very good relationship with Bronya."
Looking at the two people who immediately believed this statement, Xier felt a little guilty.
Meanwhile...
[Xier, you have changed, you have really changed. ]
another me?
[Not only have you become able to lie without batting an eyelid, you have also become able to use your elder sister as an excuse.]
This... That...
[You were just thinking about what to say to Lin Yu, but you ended up using your elder sister as a shield? ]
[You have become much more shameless, I am really relieved. ]
Stop, stop talking!
I've also been thinking about what to say when I meet Sister Bronya!
【Yes, that is true.】
[But this ratio... ah. 刳]
【What's so good about him? 】
What you said is very strange, you should say...
——What’s wrong with Brother Lin Yu?
Listening to Xier's confident reply, Hei Xier really felt that Xier was completely hopeless.
It's only been a few days since they last met, but she has already imagined so many love words. She deeply suspects that with Xi'er's current favorability towards Lin Yu and her growing courage...
——Maybe within three days, Xier will climb onto Lin Yu’s bed!
No, don't do this, if this really happens...
——Then at least another ten months!
Facing Hei Xier's one-man show, Xier said to Hei Xier unhappily at this time.
Another me, I can hear all your thoughts that are not hidden at all.
[Oh, sorry, sorry. I won't bother you anymore while you continue to think about him.]
Oh, you...
Faced with the teasing of another self, Xier was unable to refute what the other person said at this time.
After all, no matter how frivolous the other person's tone is, the words spoken by the other self...
——They are indeed true.
Although the two sides have known each other for a short time, Lin Yu's figure has been firmly engraved in Xier's heart.
Even though she wanted to deny it, Xier still found that Lin Yu's importance to her was even equal to that of Bronya, whom she missed so much.
Once Xier thought about how she valued love over friendship, she felt that this was really a bit wrong.
But, but...
[But Brother Lin Yu is really handsome, right? How did you become such a fangirl? ]
But, but this is the truth.
Hei Xier was too lazy to emphasize these nonsense that had been emphasized countless times.
Hei Xier doesn't want to talk now.
She just really felt that although Xier had not yet completed the love ceremony with Lin Yu, she had completely turned into Lin Yu's shape.
Moreover, for Hei Xier, there is a big problem with Xier’s current mental state.
No matter how much Xier misses Lin Yu now, it cannot change the fact that she is in unrequited love.
Of course, from a normal perspective, if a good girl like Xier with a good temper, a good figure and a pretty face takes the initiative to confess to someone, no one will refuse.
But Lin Yu...
Damn, although I don't want to confirm it, he is indeed very handsome and can fight well. If a guy like this is a little bit normal, there will be a lot of women chasing after him.
For example, the fat blond woman last time, she was obviously interested in Lin Yu.
Xier doesn't know yet what kind of predicament she will face.
But now, I can probably imagine what kind of hell she will face.
"Ah, it's Alliance Leader Walter."
After seeing Walter, the leader of the alliance, appear in front of everyone, the three of them tensed their bodies at the same time, standing at attention in front of Walter and trying to maintain a good standing posture.
But facing the girls' overly serious attitude at this time, Walter, who felt a little guilty and helpless, really felt...
Cocolia, you are such a loser for sending these good kids to be test subjects for the X10 experiment.
Alas, they still don’t know about Cocolia’s death.
I hope that when I meet Bronya later, she will understand my hints.
The death of a mother is too much of a shock for a child of this age.
Keep them calm for a while first, and then use AI synthetic images to fool them later.
Maybe in the future, they will discover the truth of this matter, but before that...
I'll just live one day at a time.
"That, Leader Walter."
Looking at the calm-faced man in front of her, Xier spoke timidly.
"We still can't meet Cocolia's mother?"
"Well, I'm sorry, but this is the only thing that's not allowed."
Listening to Xier's question, Walter pushed his plain glasses and spoke to the three people very seriously.
"Although Cocolia is your adoptive mother, it is an indisputable fact that she used innocent children from the orphanage as experimental subjects."
"In addition to her crimes of causing the Third Honkai and instigating internal strife, we have sent her on a confidential mission, keeping her away from the management circle and allowing her to atone for her sins. This is already the most lenient punishment for her."
"That's right..."
Listening to Walter's description, Xier was worried about her adoptive mother, but she was relieved.
For the girls surviving in Siberia, the harsh environment is not actually a big problem.
For those of them who survived the blizzard, being alive does not mean losing.
Some of the things that Cocolia did in the past were indeed not good things in Xier's eyes.
It was precisely because of this that Xier did not vent her negative emotions on Walter Yang, the man who "punished" their adoptive mother.
"Okay, let's put your mother's affairs aside for now."
Walter, who took the initiative to change the topic, now showed a kind smile to the three poor children.
"We are now in a cooperative relationship with Anti-Entropy and Destiny. Today happens to be the day for us to exchange intelligence. I have already informed Bishop Theresa in advance."
"And Bishop Theresa has also agreed for you to go to the Destiny headquarters to meet your friend. When you get there, you can have a good chat with her."
"Okay!"*2
Although they already knew this, Rosalia and Lilia still shouted happily at the same time.
As for Xier, although she didn't shout like the other two, the smile on her face clearly told everyone that she was really happy now.
Looking at the three children in front of him, Walter only felt that these three children really experienced hardships that they should not experience at this age.
Xier was used as an experimental subject of X10, and finally entered the quantum sea inexplicably.
If it weren't for Lin Yu, a powerful man who suddenly appeared and rescued her, she would probably have been wandering as a ghost in the quantum sea for the rest of her life.
Rosalia and Lilia didn't have to face this fate.
But because of Cocolia, those children were handed over to the World Serpent as hostages by Cocolia.
After realizing the talents of Rosalia and Lilia, the shameless and bottom-line-less World Snake would simply transform them into humanoid weapons called "Fusion Warriors".
