With his stubble and dark circles under his eyes, Siegfried looked like a self-destructive middle-aged man.
"Just taking a short nap. Still no news from Otto?"
Luo Chen sat up from the bench, straightened his slightly loose mask, and yawned.
"No, the bishop is still in seclusion, deep in thought."
"There's no one else here, so if you want to curse Otto, just say so."
Luo Chen chuckled, stood up, and patted Siegfried on the shoulder.
"It seems we won't be able to see him for a while. Let's go check on Walter first."
The two entered Walter's lounge together. Walter was sitting on the bed reading a book, with a crayfish peeling an apple for him next to him.
"Lord of Anti-Entropy, the whole world is living in fear. Are we just supposed to sit here and wait to die?"
"Quiet down, don't disturb the patient's rest, you barbarian."
'This isn't enough to be lethal.'
Luo Chen leaned against the wall and chuckled to himself. Tesla's aggression was completely insufficient. She was one of the well-known telegraph operators in Honkai Impact 3, while the other one was still in the Land of the Dead.
Silence fell over the room. After a long while, Walter spoke, ending the silence.
“We’ve already tried it. Sixty hours ago, Anti-Entropy’s North American headquarters fired three silver bullets into the moon as a test.”
"The Second Herrscher has the ability to teleport, so the silver bullet cannot even make contact with the explosion."
Tesla continued, handing the apple he was holding to Walter.
"So we plan to detonate the silver bullet remotely when it gets close to the moon."
"And it failed."
Luo Chen spoke up, and Tesla and Walter both nodded at him, causing the atmosphere in the room to become somber.
"That's right, we observed a large electromagnetic pulse before the equipment malfunctioned."
"Electromagnetic pulse... Are there EMP weapons on the moon?"
"How is that possible? This was most likely done by the Second Herrscher."
Luo Chen's voice was very soft, but his words were like a stone stuck in the hearts of the group.
"Probably so."
Walter put down the book, placed his hands on the cover, and scanned the words on it.
"The Second Herrscher... She was originally just a young girl with power, but now she is probably gradually learning to control her power."
Chapter 224 Countdown Begins
The four people in the ward remained silent. Tesla's phone vibrated in his pocket, and he answered the call under the watchful eyes of the other three.
"okay, I get it."
After hanging up the phone, Tesla held the phone in his hand and remained silent for a long time, just sitting there.
"Tesla, what's wrong?"
"Ten minutes ago, we observed a strange electromagnetic wave signal coming from the moon. After analysis, we found it was a message from the Second Herrscher, which said..."
"First Herrscher and that masked guy, come to the moon to see me, or I will send down four meteorites every 72 hours."
The room fell silent again. A few seconds later, Luo Chen suddenly laughed and stood up from the wall.
"Does that guy really want me to see her?"
"Mr. Tarantula, what are you saying?"
Siegfried gleaned a clue from Luo Chen's words: Could this person in front of him know the Second Herrscher?
"Do you remember what I told you back then? I'm here to find someone."
"Is it possible..."
Walter recalled the time when she faced the Second Herrscher with Luo Chen. She was momentarily stunned when Luo Chen teleported away. Could the person he was looking for be the Second Herrscher?
"Yes, she's the one I'm looking for. Her name is Celine, one of my sisters."
Luo Chen sighed. Siegfried didn't even need to look at Luo Chen's face to know that he was in low spirits. After all, it was the most painful thing to have one's own family member turn against you.
"Why didn't you tell us before?"
"What's the point of saying it? Will saying it bring her back?"
Luo Chen's tone was icy. The more he thought about it, the worse it got. He decided to find a place to be alone.
"Walter, it's up to you whether you go or not, but I'm definitely going."
Luo Chen left the room, and Walter sat there silently for two hours, while Siegfried also sat beside him, agonizing over the same thing for two hours.
"Lord Alliance Leader, the analysis report on the meteorite fragments that fell in Los Angeles is out."
Einstein handed Walter a tablet, and Walter looked at it and then looked up at Siegfried.
"Hey, Siegfried. I'm going to the moon, but I need your help before I go. Please contact Otto and tell him I have something to discuss with him."
Outside the Babylonian church's reception room, Luo Chen leaned against the wall, quietly waiting for the conversation inside, until Walter and Einstein came out together.
"How about it?"
"It's settled."
Val nodded, and it was Luo Chen's turn to go in next. Although he was curious why Otto wanted to meet with Luo Chen alone, it was someone else's privacy and he had no right to ask.
"Ah."
Luo Chen agreed and went into the reception room, where he saw Otto standing by the window with a glass of red wine, admiring the sunset outside.
"This is a fine red wine, teacher, would you like to have a glass?"
Do I look like the kind of person who likes to drink?
Luo Chen took off his mask and threw it on the table, then sat on the sofa and beckoned to Otto.
"Have a drink to try."
"Heh, all I can say is that you truly live up to your reputation."
Otto was clearly used to it, and handed the already poured red wine to Luo Chen.
"Teacher, don't you want to ask me anything?"
"No, since the general direction hasn't changed, there's no need to ask."
Luo Chen savored the red wine in his glass, drank half of it, then put the glass on the table and stared straight at Otto's face.
"Let me ask you something. Did you arrange for that Valkyrie who met with my father?"
"That's right, and I specifically told them to treat those little guys well."
"Really? There's something else. Did you instruct the Void Treasury to be included?"
Luo Chen's gloomy face sent chills down Otto's spine, and he put down his wine glass, making a gesture of surrender.
"I have to apologize for this. This is the only way I can think of to get you away from them temporarily."
"You... never mind, just consider it my own fault."
Luo Chen covered half of his head, staring blankly for a long time before finally lifting his head again.
"I'm truly speechless. What exactly did I teach you back then?"
"Who knows?"
Otto smiled and took out a piece of Feather Dust, handing it to Luo Chen.
"Teacher, please take this. Be careful when you get to the moon."
"Feather Dust? What use would I have for that? Will I run into any problems after we get to the moon?"
"I don't know, you didn't tell me. You only said that we encountered great difficulties."
Otto's smile vanished, replaced by a concerned expression.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it. If there's nothing else, I should go."
"Alright then. Friendly reminder, the Snow Feather Squad has arrived at the Tower of Babel."
"What's the matter?"
Luo Chen was taken aback. This was going to be interesting. The arrival of the Snow Feather Squad meant that his mother was here. He shouldn't be recognized, right?
"Okay, I get it."
Luo Chen put on a mask and left the reception room, hurrying to find Walter and the others, hoping to hide among them and reduce his presence.
But fate always likes to play tricks. Just as Luo Chen thought this, he turned the corner and heard two extremely familiar voices.
"Xuanyu, maybe you shouldn't go? After all..."
"First Snow, you don't need to comfort me. I just want to go and see."
The newcomers were none other than Xuan Yu, the captain of the Snow Feather Squad, and Qingye Chuxue, the vice-captain. Both of them were stunned when they saw Luo Chen, but Xuan Yu was the first to react.
"This gentleman must be the Tarantula that Bishop Otto mentioned, right?"
