Collapse, Kaslana's Way of Survival

"Your leader is in our hands, why don't you just surrender now...eh?"

Theresa suddenly stopped talking and looked back at the two figures on the ground, her eyes full of confusion.

"Which of these two is your leader?"

"impossible!"

Cocolia came back to her senses and suddenly shouted, looking at the two people lying on the ground, her eyes full of disbelief.

"I clearly only brought one clone. The other one is... Einstein, Tesla. Is he the real leader? Have you been able to contact the leader?"

"…if you hadn't brought two clones."

Of course, this is actually nonsense.

There was such a big commotion just now. If the leader hadn't been knocked down, he would have come over to check the situation long ago.

Taking a deep breath and looking at Keno with fear, Einstein turned his attention to Theresa, who was obviously the one in charge.

"Well, Ms. Theresa, please tell me what your conditions are."

"Return the leader to us and allow us to leave safely."

"Oh? Interesting. That's not what you said when you threatened me just now."

Theresa raised the corner of her mouth, leaned on Judas, and looked at the three people with a little interest.

Now that the situation has reversed, she is in an extremely good mood!

"But from the beginning, Tesla and I intended to have friendly exchanges with you. As for the threats, that was Cocolia's own initiative."

Einstein sold Cocolia without hesitation.

"In fact, even within Anti-Entropy, there is a great deal of discord between our two factions."

"Abandoning teammates when faced with difficulties, is this anti-entropy? It's really quite funny."

Theresa chuckled.

"Besides, why should I cooperate with you? If we detain the three of you now, there's no need for cooperation at all. We can also retrieve the things in Anti-Entropy."

"But there are still other executors in Anti-Entropy. If you detain us here, you will only get the four of us and one Anti-Entropy who, upon learning that several executors have been captured, will go on a quest for revenge."

As he spoke, Einstein raised two fingers.

"Secondly, Ms. Theresa, do you truly know all the secrets of St. Freya's Academy? There are always key areas that you cannot legitimately reach without resorting to the name of an anti-entropy attack."

"As it happens, I know what this secret is and where it is kept. You can go and see it first before you make any conclusions, can't you?"

"Anyway, we can't resist you with just a few of us—of course, this is just a secret I'm showing you alone."

Having said that, Einstein glanced at Keno, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Theresa frowned when she heard this, feeling a little moved.

She knew very well what kind of person her grandfather was. Since Einstein said it so confidently, it would be okay to go and take a look first.

Anyway, they can't beat me together, even without Judas.

So she turned to look at Kaino and nodded.

Kainuo understood.

The next moment, the eyes of the Anti-Entropy trio all became dull at the same time.

Theresa was stunned and turned to look at Kayno beside her.

A red and white feather was floating quietly in his hand.

Chapter 111: Something is wrong with my period (I don’t know what title to give it)

"Nephew, what...what did you do?"

Theresa first cautiously waved her arm in front of Einstein, then knocked on Cocolia's head. Seeing that the two of them had dull expressions and no reaction, she turned her head and looked at Kainuo and Yu Duchen in his hand in surprise.

"What is this feather? Can it hypnotize others?!"

Theresa's eyes sparkled.

If I had this thing, wouldn't I be afraid of someone suddenly walking in when I was slacking off in the office?

"The Key of God? Yu Duchen. A friend gave it to me during the years I was missing."

Kainuo snapped his fingers lightly, and the feather in his hand suddenly took off into the air and flew straight in front of Theresa.

"Although it's okay for you to use a feather for self-defense, I still hope you don't use it to slack off. It's too cheap..."

"W-What do you mean by slacking off? That's just the principal taking a short break after working so hard for so long!"

Theresa chuckled twice and reached out to grab the feathers in front of her with both hands.

"Anyway, thank you, nephew!"

Then she passed her hands through the feathers and caught nothing.

Theresa stayed where she was.

"Eh?"

"You all entered my illusion the moment you saw me. I'm extremely careful about my privacy, especially in front of those people like Anti-Entropy who have ulterior motives."

Kaino shrugged as he spoke.

"After all, conversations in a fantasy world are highly confidential, and even if we stay here forever, only a moment will pass outside."

"Huh? If it's so awesome, then I'll have plenty of time to read comics!"

"Auntie, can you be a little more normal..."

Kainuo slapped his hand on his face, speechless.

Could you please stop thinking about your Homunculus comics?

"Ahem, ahem, anyway, after we get out of this illusion, little Kaino, you'll give me a feather, right?"

Theresa rubbed her palms together, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Then, as if she had thought of something, she kicked the two blue-haired men lying on the ground.

"So, they're both fake too? Then I have to be careful when I make the conditions with them later. I have to make promises that can be fulfilled on the spot."

"That's not necessary, these two are real."

As he spoke, Kainuo pointed at the two men on the ground and introduced them one by one.

"This formally dressed guy should be the leader of Anti-Entropy. He's very powerful, directly suppressing Bella and Xier. I brought him here after he was defeated."

"This guy wearing a piece of clothing must be what they call a clone. Haha, when they asked my dad and I to save Kiana, they said it was so righteous, but it turns out they were also secretly making clones."

As he said this, Kainuo sneered twice.

Einstein and Tesla's previous performance did not seem to be completely unaware of the existence of clones. In his opinion, this anti-entropy was really not much better.

"Oh, by the way, I didn't kill this clone. He went to attack Mei to steal the Conqueror Jewel, but was besieged by Himeko-sensei, Seele, Bronya, Kiana, and Fu Hua who was passing by. If I hadn't brought him here, he would probably have died there."

"That's it, okay."

Knowing that Kiana and the others were safe, Theresa nodded relieved and nodded at the Anti-Entropy trio.

"Well, nephew, how do we know what they said?"

"Ha, let's go!"

Kaino smiled and snapped his fingers.

The surroundings suddenly became dark.

"And what then? The Cathedral has come in, where is the thing you wanted to show?"

In the empty church, Theresa stood in front of the statue, staring coldly at Einstein and Tesla who followed in.

Cocolia was detained along with the two blue-haired men and handed over to Kainuo outside for custody. It was her responsibility to talk to the two men and help Yi Lingqi remove the tumor and seek benefits for Yue+Yi.

"I'm warning you in advance. Don't try any tricks, or the helpers Grandfather left behind will kill your leader immediately."

"I wouldn't dare, Ms. Theresa. We're no different from prisoners now. How could we possibly play any tricks?"

Shrugging slightly, Einstein walked behind the statue and fumbled around it.

It was unclear what she pressed behind the statue. With a loud bang, the statue suddenly moved away from the center of the church, revealing a wide passage leading underground.

Theresa's pupils shrank slightly at this, her face filled with disbelief. She couldn't believe that within Saint Freya, which she had managed for several years, there was actually a vast area that she was unaware of.

"There really is a hidden area..."

"Of course, we would never lie to you about such things."

"Also, I didn't expect you to still have such trust in Otto after what happened that year. I hope you'll still be so trusting after seeing what's happening next."

A faint curve appeared at the corner of his mouth and then immediately subsided. Einstein was the first to step onto the stairs.

"Humph, at least Grandpa is much more trustworthy than you!"

Theresa snorted coldly and followed Einstein down the stairs with Tesla.

After descending nearly twenty meters, Theresa and her companions encountered a huge portal.

The massive alloy gate was nearly ten times taller than Theresa and wide enough for two cars to drive side by side. If it weren't for its underground location, Theresa would have thought it was the gate to some city.

She looked up at the door and couldn't help swallowing.

"How do I open this door?"

"That's not a problem for you. Anti-Entropy has already made all the necessary preparations for this operation—except for that unexpected masked figure."

Sighing unconsciously, Einstein placed his hand on a black electronic screen in the center of the lower end of the gate.

"So, are you ready, Ms. Theresa? What you're about to see might be enough to completely shatter your impression of that grandfather."

"…I'm ready."

Theresa took a deep breath and stared intently at Einstein's hand, which was almost pressing on the door.

"Open the door."

Einstein nodded silently, his hand placed on the electronic detection screen.

A red light flashed across the screen, and after a beep, light shone through the center of the tightly closed door, which slowly opened to both sides.

"Well, Ms. Theresa, please come in..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Theresa, who was standing behind the three people watching this drama, closed her eyes tightly and kept shaking Keno's left hand.

"Nephew, wait a minute, wait a minute!"

Keno curled his lips helplessly and clenched his right hand in the air, and the whole world froze in an instant.

Noticing that the sounds around her had disappeared, Theresa quietly opened one eye and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that the world was indeed still.

Patting her wrinkled face, Theresa gave a slightly embarrassed smile and looked at Kainuo with an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry, little Kaino, I'm not mentally ready yet."

Kainuo said nothing. He first turned his head to look at Theresa, who was standing behind Einstein with a determined look on her face, and then looked at the woman in front of him who was still taking deep breaths. Questions kept popping up in his mind.

The aunt in the illusion was clearly generated by Yu Duchen based on his own aunt's brain waves. In other words, at least at this moment, her actions would be like the real Theresa... But why was the aunt standing next to her so disappointing?

Just because there is a relative like you next to me?

Oh, it seems that my younger sister Kiana will also relax her guard extremely when she has acquaintances around her who she can rely on?

It seems that Kaslana is like this, so it's okay.

"Phew, I'm fine."

Theresa clenched her fists to encourage herself, then nodded seriously.

"Oh, right, little Kainuo, you've clearly never been to the base of the cathedral, right? So how are you going to create the illusion later?"

"From a moment ago, the one creating the illusion has changed from me to these two."

Kaino pointed at Ai and Te who were still motionless.

"In fact, both this gate and the scene we'll see after entering are actually their perception and imagination of this place. However, seeing how rich the details are here, I'm afraid they both have indeed been here."

"Is that so? Then we'll just...wait."
