Just before he was ready to penetrate the other party's consciousness, Lin Yu discovered...
"Ah? Xiaolin?"
The ghost in reality woke up directly.
"I am..."
Looking at the woman who covered her head and began to chant, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ghost Teacher, I'll be relieved if you're okay."
"How can it be okay? I'm in so much pain!"
After hearing Lin Yu's words, Ghost started rolling around on the bed like he had heard some key words.
"Ahhh! That damn spy! How dare he shoot at my body!"
"...Teacher, everyone knows that person is Otto."
"Ah, that's right."
Hearing Lin Yu's words, the ghost who had been rolling around wildly just now immediately sat on the bed with a serious expression and said to Lin Yu.
"That old dog was exposed so quickly?"
"Heavenly Fire Holy Judge, with this kind of attribute output and yet unable to kill an A-level Heavenly Fire Holy Judge, it can only be a fake created by Void Wanzang."
Listening to the news Lin Yu said, the ghost completely recalled what happened last night, and a trace of gloom appeared on his face.
"That's true... this old dog really doesn't pretend anymore."
"Well, wait."
The ghost, who had sensed something, looked at Lin Yu in shock.
"You, didn't you already know that this old dog is not a good person?"
"I already knew it, but... I guess no one believed me when I told you before."
It really is.
If I hadn't encountered these things and hadn't found out about the past information, when Xiaolin told me this, I would have just thought that he must have been controlled by someone and that's why he slandered Otto.
"When did you know his true identity... Never mind, it's not important."
After shaking his head slightly, the ghost muttered to himself.
"According to the information I read in the database, the most necessary thing for a Herrscher to become a Herrscher is emotional despair."
"You are now a Ruler of Binding, which is enough to prove that you were in a desperate state before."
"Before, I always thought that this despair was caused by your failure to save your parents, but now it seems..."
"This despair, could it be related to Otto?"
What to say.
"Ghost teacher, you are so smart."
After saying this helplessly, Lin Yu pulled a chair over and sat in front of the ghost, telling the ghost some news that he had never told anyone else.
"I learned this information much earlier than you thought."
"It's just that at the time I thought that although Otto was stinky, the Destiny Organization was good."
"Whether it's fighting the collapse or taking revenge, joining the destiny is my best choice."
Looking at the calm narrator in front of him, the ghost did not interrupt him but chose to listen quietly.
"Of course, you all know what happened next. I learned a lot of skills under your training, and then I participated in the mission in Changkong City without telling you and Sister Rita."
"During the mission in Changkong City, after discovering that my companions were killed one by one by Cocolia's men, an idea began to emerge in my mind uncontrollably..."
"——Is it really meaningful for me to try to do these things when Otto is the Archbishop of Heaven's Will?"
Having said that, Lin Yu showed a bitter smile on his face.
"Looking back on it, I think my consciousness may have been eroded by Honkai and I started to think and guide myself in a bad direction."
"But objectively speaking, in Otto's eyes, we are simply divided into [important chess pieces] and [unimportant chess pieces]."
"And since K423 is fine, he might not care that much about whether the chess pieces we sent out are dead or alive."
"After realizing that this bastard could do whatever he wanted and I couldn't even resist him, I was eroded by the Honkai in the dark and gradually fell into despair in Changkong City."
"Although I finally used a special method to suppress this despair and interrupted the coming of the Law Constrainer, this despair was only suppressed by me, but it never disappeared."
"The suppressed despair will not deepen after I enter Otto's eyes and am forced to clean up his evil deeds, but will only grow day by day."
"Perhaps in the eyes of some people, I was desperate because of Kevin's sword, but in fact..."
"——This despair has nothing to do with Kevin."
"Kevin's sword was more like a switch that made me realize my mistake than an opportunity. It released my growing despair in one go."
"Ghost Teacher, your guess is correct."
"The key reason why I became the Ruler of Constraint is because of Otto Apokalis."
Although Lin Yu only had a slight wry smile on his face when he said these words, as long as Ghost put himself into Lin Yu's situation, he now only had one thought.
It's really not easy for Xiaolin to stay calm.
It’s better to say - how come you are not only not crazy, but can even maintain your self-awareness as a Herrscher and fight for humanity?
After this thought came into his mind, the ghost suddenly realized something.
Fighting for humanity?
This may be the wrong answer.
Lin Yu's actions may not necessarily be a fight for humanity, but just a fight against Honkai.
His values determine that he will try his best not to harm others when fighting for Honkai, but this does not mean that the order of priorities will change.
Maybe it's not 'why hasn't he gone crazy yet' but 'he has gone crazy a long time ago' but we didn't see it.
After the fourth collapse, Ghost was in a bar and asked Lin Yu to "put on that mask" to inspire people.
But now it seems that I really don’t know what to do.
Kobayashi didn't need any reminder from me at all, he put on the mask from the beginning.
He was filled with despair, but because he brought hope to others, he had to disguise himself to encourage others in the organization to continue fighting...
——What kind of fucking hell joke is this?
"Okay, don't make the atmosphere so heavy."
Seeing that the ghost had obviously begun to enter the "thinking too much" mode, Lin Yu suddenly smiled and put his hands on the ghost's shoulders.
"My words today prove that despair has long been thrown into another dimension."
"I am now the strongest person in the Sky Destiny. Not only can Otto, that bastard, not only be unable to cause any trouble, but he is also scared to the point of not daring to return to the Sky Destiny headquarters."
"I'm completely fine now. Teacher, you should just rest and recover. After all, there is still a lot of work to be done. Teacher, as the intelligence chief of Tianming, you don't have much time to rest."
Alas, still laughing.
The question is, how real is your smile now?
After Lin Yu finished saying this, a character introduction template suddenly popped up on the system.
[Name: Wraith]
[Identity: A-level Valkyrie of Destiny, also the head of Destiny's intelligence department, and your teacher in special agents.]
[Current Favorability: 40]
[Note: The attributes are the same as Fu Hua's, but she can become a huge R or a poor R. Look at her distressed attitude after imagining it now. Host, do your best! ]
Damn it, you can still drive in this kind of atmosphere?
[Otherwise, should I follow the depressing atmosphere of the two of you and make it even more depressing? ]
[Forget it, be happy, after all, it will take some time...]
[You probably won’t be able to laugh. ]
Wow, that's really scary.
But the problem is that now, except for the demon Kevin and the false god Otto, no one can match me.
Kevin the Demon needs to hide in the pit to recover his mana, and the false god Otto lacks all kinds of opportunities and cannot come to this world. In this situation...
—You don’t mean to say that the end is coming?
[How should I put it? This system cannot talk about things further in the future. Anyway...]
[——Keep living, host.]
[The atmosphere has reached this point. It would be unreasonable if you don't fight a good battle.]
.......
Chapter 273. Bronya...it's okay.
Fight the good fight...
This sounds good, but in fact, Lin Yu felt a headache just thinking about it.
Was the reason why he felt desperate before because his boss was not a human being?
That's not entirely true.
If the boss has no ability, even if he doesn't do anything, his destructive power will be limited.
But Otto is a capable man. The destructive power of a capable man serving as a dog for Honkai is, in a sense, more terrifying than a billion murderers.
Even though Otto didn't dare to show up now, and because of the lack of time, he was too impatient and revealed his flaws...
——But even if Otto made mistakes, he was still Otto.
Because of your hatred for Otto, you deny everything about him and end up treating him like a fool?
Anyone who thinks this way is an idiot.
And Otto's ability is actually very weird.
It's okay at normal times, but when Otto starts to cause trouble, his destructive power will increase exponentially.
Now if Lin Yu wants to deal with Otto, he has only one way.
There are two versions of Otto's immortality.
In the past, Otto's physical body was immortal, thanks to the 'blessing' granted by the power of the Black Abyss White Flower, which allowed him to live longer than ordinary people.
The current version of Otto can be "immortal" thanks to the [Rebirth] program stored in the computer at the Destiny Headquarters and the matching Soul Steel Body.
In this case, even if the Soul Steel Body that Otto was using at the time was destroyed, as long as he realized that he was about to "die", he could immediately use the [Rebirth] program to transfer his consciousness to other bodies.
Even if Otto himself did not realize that he was about to die and died in an accident, Amber also had the authority to activate the [Rebirth] program.
Even if Otto died and Amber got into trouble, the [Rebirth] program would still be activated after a period of time after Otto's accident.
It can be said that as long as this program does not fail, it will be difficult for Otto to fail.
Of course, there is another way besides getting rid of the rebirth program.
This method doesn't sound complicated. To put it simply, it is to destroy the soul steel body into which Otto transferred his consciousness.
But just because a method doesn’t sound complicated doesn’t mean it’s really simple to put into practice.
As long as Otto hid a few soul steel bodies in some strange places, he could still be resurrected by relying on the [Rebirth] program.
It’s troublesome. Although I don’t think it will succeed, I still have to give it a try.
Just before that...
At the same time, Bronya, who was happily chatting with three friends, suddenly heard the ringtone of a text message coming from her communicator.
Bronya took out the communicator and was surprised to see a message.
