The man behind her spoke, and Wendy found his voice surprisingly pleasant, but she didn't think much of it.
The two Valkyries remained silent, which was understandable. After all, they were merely vessels for the gems, and few people usually paid them any attention.
Wendy clearly heard the man click his tongue, then he walked to the window and drew back the curtains to let the sunlight in.
"Go and change her room."
"But this was arranged by the doctor, who said it was enough to accommodate the Gem of Desire."
"Are you questioning me?"
The man stepped forward, his silver eyes coldly fixed on the Valkyrie who was speaking. Wendy could sense fluctuations in Honkai energy emanating from him.
The Valkyrie's expression changed instantly. She quickly apologized and promised to complete the mission as soon as possible.
"That's good."
The man withdrew his Honkai energy, his smile returning, and turned to look at Wendy: "Also, her name is Wendy, not Lustful Gem."
Wendy's body trembled slightly as she looked at Luo Chen's face and found that he was looking at her with gentle eyes, and she could even find a trace of warmth in those eyes.
"You two go and tidy up the room first, I'll talk to her."
Luo Chen waved for the Valkyries to leave, then squatted down in front of Wendy and chuckled, "Hello, Wendy. My name is Luo Chen, and I'll be your nanny for the next two weeks."
"nanny?"
Wendy looked puzzled, wondering why Luo Chen had become her nanny.
"Yes, I will take care of all your daily needs for the next two weeks."
"why?"
"No reason."
Luo Chen shook his head, stood up and bent down again to keep Wendy at eye level.
"Just know that I am your nanny now."
"Lord Luo Chen, the room is ready."
At this moment, the two female warriors from earlier appeared in the corridor, and one of them spoke respectfully to Luo Chen.
"Alright, one of you pack Wendy's things and take them over later. The other one will lead the way."
"Understood."×2
"Hey! What's going on?"
Wendy, not understanding the situation, looked up at Luo Chen behind her.
"I'll take you to a different room." Luo Chen said matter-of-factly, "Your current room is small and poorly lit. Staying here for too long will make you withdrawn."
Upon arriving at the new room, Luo Chen settled the luggage sent by the Valkyrie and briefly explained the whole story to Wendy, of course, in a modified version.
"So, Mr. Luo Chen will be taking care of me for the next two weeks?"
Wendy still couldn't quite believe it. Although she had been taken care of before, she always felt a sense of rejection towards Luo Chen, but Luo Chen showed no such signs at all.
"That's right. You can tell me anything you want or want to do. I'll try my best to help you achieve it."
Looking at the room, which was several times larger than before, Wendy felt a sense of unreality and pinched her cheeks hard.
"It hurts!"
Feeling the pain, Wendy realized she wasn't dreaming; everything that had just happened was real.
Wendy, can you tell me your story?
Luo Chen was unsure whether Wendy was about to be brainwashed by the Gem of Desire, so he wanted to gradually probe her attitude to lay the groundwork for future missions.
Wendy remained silent, knowing that Luo Chen was talking about the desire for the gem, but she didn't want to recall those past memories.
"If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. I was being presumptuous."
Luo Chen lowered his head slightly, apologized to Wendy, and thought about how to start the conversation.
Was Wendy a student at St. Freya University before?
"Eh?"
Wendy was somewhat surprised, wondering where Luo Chen had found out, and also noticing that he had used the word "also".
"Yes. Um, Mr. Luo Chen, what do you mean by that?"
"me too."
Wendy was somewhat surprised that St. Freya would have male students, but Luo Chen didn't seem to be lying.
"Speaking of which, I should call you senior."
Wendy was a little embarrassed and looked away to avoid Luo Chen noticing.
"How about this, I'll take you out for a walk, and you can ask me anything you want."
"OK, thanks."
Wendy felt that when she was with Luo Chen, her negative emotions were somewhat suppressed, and her resentment towards the Valkyrie was also lessened.
Luo Chen pushed Wendy to a square. Seeing that there were few people in the square, Wendy's nervousness subsided.
"By the way, Wendy, what do you usually do?"
"Usually? I'm always reading."
"Is reading the only option?"
"Ah."
Wendy looked at her legs. Ever since the Gem of Desire was implanted, even the simplest thing, standing, had become a luxury. Apart from being sent to research sites, she could only stay in her room reading.
"It's not good to stay in the room all the time. I'll take you around more these next few days."
"Thank you, Mr. Luo Chen."
"Just call me Luo Chen. To be honest, I'm not an adult yet."
"Eh?"
Wendy exclaimed in surprise, "Luo Chen looks like he's in his twenties, but he's not even an adult yet!"
"Is there anything Wendy wants to ask?"
"Let me think... How is Luo Chen's life in St. Freya?"
"Well, being the only male student makes daily life a bit inconvenient."
Luo Chen recounted several events that had occurred at the academy to Wendy, and after confirming that she was emotionally stable, he tentatively asked, "Wendy, what are your thoughts on the Herrschers?"
"Why do you ask?"
Wendy became wary, sensing that Luo Chen's words had a hidden meaning.
"Actually, there's nothing I can't say. It's just that two of my friends are actually Herrschers."
"what!"
Wendy's mouth gaped open, wondering if she had misheard. How could a Herrscher become friends with a human?
Luo Chen guessed that Wendy would be surprised. After all, in their view, Herrschers were enemies of humanity, objects that had to be eliminated, and could not possibly stand with humanity. Moreover, Herrschers of Reason were only a few exceptions.
"If you ask me, it's not so bad to be a Herrscher. As long as we fight against the Honkai together, we can become friends."
Wendy remained silent, wanting to carefully consider whether what Luo Chen had just said was true.
Luo Chen led Wendy around the square for nearly half an hour before taking her back to the room.
"Wendy, I have something to attend to, so I'll say goodbye briefly."
"Okay, go and do your work."
"Okay, goodbye."
Gently closing the door, Luo Chen walked out of the building alone and headed to the branch's research institute.
Chapter 99 I Don't Want to Hear
Using the access granted to him by Otto, Luo Chen successfully entered the research institute. He randomly selected a researcher and had him take him to the institute's archives.
"What brings you to the archives?"
The researcher looked puzzled, and a little curious about the guy who could get into the research institute so easily.
"What else can we do? Look for the files."
Luo Chen relinquished the permissions Otto had granted him, and the researcher immediately greeted him with a smile, fearing that if Luo Chen became unhappy and complained to Otto, he would lose his job.
"This way, sir, please. I'll lead the way."
"I still prefer your defiant attitude from just now."
The researcher gave an awkward smile and led Luo Chen to the deepest part of the research institute. After opening several metal doors, Luo Chen finally arrived at the archives room.
Where is the file for the person who desires the gem?
"This one……"
The researcher looked troubled and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Sir, it's like this, my authority is not sufficient to retrieve the files related to the Gem of Desire."
