Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

As if casually buying a toy for a naughty child, Shihen said calmly.

"Walter White, what exactly do you want to do!?"

Cocolia closed the box again, looked at the white-haired man in front of her who seemed completely at ease, and asked in a deep voice, forgetting even the title of Alliance Leader.

"If you want Welt's power, don't go after those fakes. You're disgracing the Anti-Entropy Executors."

Shihen rebuked, as if this female warlord from Siberia were truly his subordinate.

Cocolia: "..."

When did the enforcers of entropy-reversal become so arrogant?

If you just want to study the mysteries of the power of the Herrscher of Reason, can you directly use the core of a true Herrscher of Reason to conduct experiments?

"If you have any needs, please just say so. There's no need to humiliate your subordinate like this."

"Push the Herrscher Core back," Cocolia said solemnly.

Although she really wanted the core, she didn't dare to take it.

Having spoken with [Walter White] quite a few times, Cocolia didn't believe the other party would really be that kind.

What if she accepts the core and then the other party kills her on the grounds of stealing the Herrscher core?

She never hesitated to assume the worst about this madman.

Shihen glanced at the silver box but showed no intention of taking it back. Instead, he said, "When I captured Yang, he seemed to be planning to meet someone. Can you guess who it was, Lord Cocolia?"

Upon hearing Walter White's words, Cocolia was taken aback for a few seconds before realizing that "Yang" referred to the former leader of Anti-Entropy.

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Cocolia suddenly realized: "Einstein!"

Even though Walter Young has been missing for many years in name only.

But if we're talking about who among those with reverse entropy is most likely to have some connection with the other, then it would undoubtedly be Einstein.

Moreover, Einstein was separated from her for a period of time during the last attack on St. Freya Academy.

In an instant, Cocolia's mind raced, and a large amount of cold sweat broke out on her back.

If Walter Young hadn't disappeared, but had instead been monitoring the situation inside Anti-Entropy, then her actions over the years...

"Not too stupid."

Nodding approvingly, Shihen then got up and prepared to leave.

"and many more!"

"Cocolia shouted hurriedly."

But Shihen's steps did not stop there.

"Walter White! What exactly is your purpose!?"

Cocolia shouted, her voice tinged with anger.

She could no longer tolerate this kind of riddle-like behavior from men.

They appeared out of nowhere and then inexplicably gave her a Herrscher of Reason core. Are they making a fool of her?

Shihen opened the office door, paused, and said, "Yang's consciousness still remains in the core of the Law of Reason."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shihen left, and the office door closed again.

"..."

Cocolia's pupils contracted slightly, as if a lightning bolt had struck her mind.

At this moment, she finally understood why the other party had entrusted this core to her.

On the other side, ignoring what Cocolia had realized, Shihen's gaze fell on a blonde girl dressed in business attire in the corridor.

Peggy has clearly grown a lot since he left Anti-Entropy headquarters a year ago.

Her short hair has grown long and tied into a ponytail, and she wears light makeup. Her shapely figure doesn't look out of place in professional attire.

Seeing the girl's wide, shocked expression, Shihen simply nodded, patted her head, and continued on his way.

Walter White is a boss who has no emotions.

Chapter 243 The Boy and the Gift

January 1, 2015, Thursday, Light Snow.

As Shihen opened the window in the early morning, he immediately felt a strong blast of cold air blowing in, instantly dispelling the heat that had accumulated in the room overnight.

Looking around, the entire St. Freya Academy was covered in a blanket of snow, and a silent and cold atmosphere completely enveloped this usually vibrant academy.

It was still the Christmas holiday, and most of the students had already gone home to reunite with their families.

Well, while recruiting Valkyries from survivors of various Honkai events is a major strategy of Schicksal, it's not an absolute rule.

As artificial stigmata technology matures and the Honkai calamity continues to develop and evolve, Schicksal's demand for Valkyries is increasing, and relying solely on these survivors is clearly far from sufficient.

Moreover, not every survivor is qualified to become a Valkyrie.

Besides adaptability to Honkai energy, luck is also a key factor in determining whether a person can survive a disaster.

Most importantly, it is the courage to take up arms and fight even after witnessing hell.

Recruiting eligible girls from normal families to become Valkyries through various means is something that Destiny has always been doing.

This is especially evident at St. Freya Academy.

After all, compared to other branches, the school atmosphere that St. Freya strives to create is clearly more suitable for most people.

Even some of the students who lost their homes due to the collapse went on trips together, making St. Freya seem even more deserted.

The fact that the place can be so quiet during holidays is undoubtedly a testament to the progress made in Theresa's teaching philosophy.

If this were a Valkyrie training institution in another branch, you would never see such a scene.

The primary and sole objective of those Valkyrie training institutions is to train more Valkyries who meet the standards of war in the shortest possible time.

As for other matters, they are beyond the scope of destiny's consideration.

But even in the quiet of St. Freya, there are still some disturbances.

"Captain Hen, wanna come down and play?"

Seele's shouts came from below.

Seeing the two little ones building a snowman and Cangxuan Zhishu not far away, Shihen couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "You guys play first, I'll come down later."

Although they appear quiet on ordinary days, when it comes to playing, Seele and Bronya naturally display the energy that girls their age should have.

Even though Duck Duck still had a blank expression.

Looking at the gray-haired loli with her usual expression, and then at Seele and Cangxuan Zhishu with their bright smiles, Shihen felt strangely no sense of unease.

Not receiving a positive reply from the boy, Seele and the others didn't mind. They simply smiled, waved, and went back to building snowmen.

After washing up and going downstairs, I saw a young woman with long, straight black hair wearing an apron, busy in the kitchen. The aroma of frying fish pieces had already spread throughout the entire first floor and could be clearly smelled.

"Is this a lavish meal today?"

Glancing at it, Shihen was somewhat surprised to see that the breakfast was much more substantial than usual.

"Today is the first day of the new year~" Mei explained, her hands still busy, but she still turned her head and gave the boy a bright, sunny smile, "Happy New Year, Hen."

Happy New Year, Mei.

Nodding slightly, Shihen returned the girl's smile.

Although it was not the New Year in the traditional sense in China, he did not hesitate to give the girl a blessing that conformed to the customs of the Far East.

Upon hearing this, Mei's smile became even brighter.

"You can go sit with Himeko-sensei for a while, or play with Bronya and the others. I'll take care of breakfast today."

Speaking in an almost forceful tone, Mei completely dispelled the boy's idea of ​​helping.

"……All right."

Seeing the determination on the girl's face, Shihen thought about it and didn't refuse.

Even though it is no easy task to arrange and cater to the tastes of a large group of people, since Mei has already said so, why should he interfere?

He simply smiled slightly at the girl, then turned away and stopped bothering her.

Seeing the boy leave, Mei finally breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes blazing with intense fighting spirit.

For her, today is more than just New Year's Day.

So, even though she put in all her effort, she made today's breakfast perfect.

Thinking this, a glint of electricity seemed to flash in the girl's eyes, and her grip on the spatula tightened.

Unaware of Mei's true intentions, Shihen glanced at the red-haired woman sitting on the table, a glass of water swaying gently, her eyes half-closed as if she were drowsy, and kindly advised, "Since Teacher Himeko feels sleepy, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Due to the aftermath of the Nine Nether Incident, while others were enjoying their Christmas holidays, Himeko was forced to work a lot of overtime.

After all, Himeko had been lying in bed for almost a month, and a lot of things had accumulated.

Of course, whether there were personal reasons involved is something only the two people involved know.

Moreover, even when there are no work-related matters, Himeko never gets up early on holidays.

Hearing this, Himeko slightly opened her eyes and glanced at the boy, saying, "What do you know, kid? If you don't get up early on the first day of the new year, good luck won't come your way."

"is it?"

With a slight shrug, Shihen remained noncommittal.

In this day and age, we don't believe in supernatural powers and mystical phenomena anymore.

Besides, if you really want to be superstitious, there's a Crimson Kite Immortal right next to us, and a regional bishop is coming over for a free meal later.

Well, although she always wears a nun's habit, in terms of clergy, Theresa should actually be considered a regional bishop, and the highest theological authority in the Far East, even though she almost never deals with matters of faith.

But, as for the nominal appointment, everyone should understand.

If you really want to count, Theresa has dozens of titles, big and small, and in terms of seniority, she is definitely the number one in the Far East Branch.

I just don't know how their salary is calculated when they receive it...

Having held many titles within the anti-entropy community, Shihen's mind began to wander.

Shihen poured himself a glass of water, glanced around, and asked, "Has Kiana not gotten up yet?"

There was no sign of the white fluffy cat downstairs, and no sound from upstairs either; the little lazy cat was clearly still asleep.

"Let the child sleep a little longer; she's been very tired these past few days."

Himeko rolled her eyes at the boy, her tone resentful.

What did Kiana do this time?

Shihen asked curiously.

Although their rooms were next to each other, he did not interfere too much with the girls' private lives.

"You'll see when the time comes." Himeko pouted, her tone practically dripping with sarcasm. "I really don't understand what's so great about you; how come you're so popular with girls?"

Although the parties involved still seemed confused, from her adult perspective... every single one of them was a good-for-nothing.

For nearly a year, they faced life-or-death crises together multiple times; that would be enough for two seasons or more in an anime.

But as a result... she still hasn't been able to get any big gossip.

"Haha~" Scratching his head, speechless, Shihen could only change the subject, "Himeko-sensei has quite a few fans, right?"

"Sigh, good men are hard to find in this world."

With a deep sigh, Himeko showed no sign of embarrassment.

She's almost thirty and can even write a book called "If I Only Had Three Months Left to Live," so what is there for her to be ashamed of?

But older single women don't care about this, while a certain over-aged young woman can't stand it.

"Tsk! Releasing the scent of animals in heat first thing in the morning, can't you, you bomb-bomb girl, have any shame at all!?"

An annoyed voice rang out, and Theresa, dressed in children's clothes, pushed open the door and entered.

"Will a sense of shame help me find a good man?" Himeko asked without hesitation, her eyes immediately lighting up. She couldn't help but hug Theresa and give her a quick rub with face wash. "As expected, the headmistress is just so cute like this!"
