The prosthetic eyes did not open, but the boy's voice rang out at the opportune moment.
"...I know, I understand."
Peggy reluctantly lifted her upper body and complained softly, her originally fair and pretty face instantly turning as red as a lobster.
Honestly, she's just a substitute. She doesn't plan to do anything strange. Why are we being so wary of her?
A surge of resentment rose within her, and Peggy couldn't help but reach out and poke her prosthetic face with her finger.
A slight indentation came from her fingertips, and the girl's eyes widened immediately.
The current prosthetic body is unresponsive, which means...
"Drink more hot water."
As Peggy leaned down once more, Shihen finally couldn't help but speak through his prosthetic body, even opening his eyes to glare at the girl.
Unlike conventional soul steel prosthetic bodies, he didn't retain much power in this body.
Therefore, in the spirit of conserving energy, he did not intend to hold Peggy's minor transgressions against him.
Otherwise, if he exhausts his strength because of this, he won't be able to deal with Li Sushang's surprise attack.
But even if one wants to conserve energy, using his prosthetic body as a meal replacement is going too far.
Why can't you take it out on him personally... No, as someone who is determined to become the mastermind behind the scenes, how could he be swayed by something like this?
"Woo..."
Peggy's eyes met those of the cybernetically enhanced boy, her face growing increasingly red and hot, wisps of white steam rising from her head, and then...
Snapped!
The prosthetic head was pinned down by the pillow.
Shi Hen: “…”
Well, as long as Peggy doesn't do anything weird, that's fine.
With these thoughts in mind, Shihen controlled the prosthetic body to enter a semi-sleep state.
-------------------------------------
On the other side, after glancing at Yae Sakura's location on the Hyperion's surveillance footage, Rita then approached a certain older nun who was sitting in a corner of the bridge.
"Lady Theresa looks a little troubled."
With a smile, Rita served a glass of clear, bright bitter melon juice.
"It's Rita..."
As the maid approached and she noticed the vibrant liquid in the maid's hand, Theresa's eyes lit up. "Speaking of troubles, it shouldn't be that bad, right?"
I just…”
It's just a bit of a shame.
Thinking it over in her mind, Theresa did not say these words aloud.
At a time when the whole world is in crisis because of Otto's actions, it is somewhat inappropriate for her to feel sad about his inevitable fate.
"If Bishop Otto dies, our enemies will only be the World Serpent and the Collapse."
Seeing the girl's inner turmoil, Rita couldn't help but smile, her heart softening even more.
As expected, Theresa is always just as adorable, no matter the time.
Seeing the nun's frustrated expression, Rita tried hard to suppress the urge to hug her and cherish her.
"yes……"
Theresa, oblivious to the ambition in Rita's eyes, sighed deeply as she drank her bitter melon juice. "Moreover, the World Serpent might be even more dangerous than the Honkai."
With Welt White and Kevin on the team, World Serpent is already troublesome enough.
Not to mention, the other party is deeply rooted in human society like an old tree.
If we want to eradicate the World Serpent, humanity itself will likely perish in this civil war first.
"Lady Theresa is right."
Rita nodded slightly, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. "So, what does Lady Theresa think of [Walter White]?"
"【Walter White】? Why are you suddenly bringing this guy up?"
Theresa asked, somewhat puzzled.
“When Bishop Otto was still alive, he always thought that Walter White was a more dangerous person than Kevin.”
Rita explained with a smile.
This is the truth.
However, this was not said to her by Otto when he was still a bishop, but rather not long ago.
Thinking about Otto's various speculations about [Walter White], Rita's heart sank.
Although they were reluctant to believe Otto, if the truth were as he said, then not only Theresa and the others, but the entire world would be in a crisis far more terrifying than people realized.
This is what Rita cannot tolerate.
"Grandpa, he..."
When Otto was mentioned, Theresa's expression became complicated, but after a moment she nodded in agreement.
Compared to Kevin, who has been relatively inactive since leaving the Sea of Quanta, [Walter White] is frighteningly active.
Seriously, as the final boss, couldn't [Walter White] just stay put like Kevin and send out some subordinates who are just a little stronger than them?
Thinking of someone's repeated acts of recklessness, Theresa's cheeks involuntarily puffed up.
"Has Lady Theresa ever wondered why Walter White always has to wear a mask?"
Seeing the girl's adorable pout, Rita couldn't help but chuckle softly, but still asked the question in a leisurely manner.
"mask……"
Upon hearing this, Theresa immediately fell into deep thought.
To be honest, she didn't understand why Walter White insisted on wearing a mask.
Given the other party's status and strength, even if they are not good-looking, who would dare to say anything against them?
Objectively speaking, Kevin's face is already considered very handsome, so Walter White, who is the clone of the other party, should be just as good-looking, right?
As she pondered, Theresa suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "I know! It must be because [Walter White] looks exactly like Kevin, and he wears a mask to avoid looking alike!"
"..."
Seeing the girl's smug expression, Rita fell silent.
While that is indeed a possibility, if that were the case, shouldn't World Serpent have forcibly swapped the face of [Walter White] when he was still weak?
She believes that the World Serpent would never consider humanitarianism in such a place.
Moreover, in Walter White's own words, he was considered a failure in the early stages because he was so different from Kevin.
"I wonder if it's possible that [Walter White] has an absolutely unavoidable reason for not showing his face?"
No longer pinning her hopes on Theresa's intelligence, Rita used a more straightforward approach to explain: "For example, we have both actually seen each other at their most authentic selves."
She had done her research; Kiana's first encounter with a certain boy was in Sicily.
Coincidentally, Walter White's first appearance was also in Sicily, precisely when the boy was still on the island.
"Well……"
Upon hearing this, Theresa immediately frowned and pondered, but soon her eyes lit up. "Rita, you're right! I'll carefully check the list of cleaners from the Hyperion and St. Freya!"
Rita: “???”
No, what does this have to do with cleaners?
Besides, there are clearly more suspicious people on board the Hyperion now!
"Isn't it often mentioned in comics that the person in charge of sweeping and cleaning a place is often the most capable?"
As if sensing the maid's doubts, Theresa kindly explained.
"But that should just be a comic book."
Rita said helplessly.
What decent person would sweep the floor?
"That seems to be true too~"
She scratched her head and said, her expression turning awkward.
"Let's put the matter of [Walter White] aside for now. Lady Theresa, could you tell me more about Mr. Time Trace?"
Despite not being particularly strong, Mr. Shihen always seems to have a way of turning the tide.
Rita chuckled softly, her wine-red eyes narrowing slightly.
If things don't work out with Theresa, she'll have to pin her hopes on Otto's other backup plan.
"Rita..."
Upon hearing this, Theresa immediately became alert, her expression turning serious. "Shihen and Kiana's relationship is very stable. You absolutely mustn't do anything you shouldn't!"
Moreover, Kiana has Mei and Wendy behind her. How can a peak-level A-rank Valkyrie like you fight against these Herrschers?
Even though Rita is a great cook, has mastered all kinds of housework skills, and has a great appearance and temperament, the competition among the boys is extremely fierce.
Besides, with so many people attacking at once, it's easy for a young person's body to not be able to withstand it.
Therefore, she must persuade as many people as she can!
Thinking this, Theresa smiled a saintly smile.
Rita: “…”
Okay, it's wrong of her to want to use Theresa's power.
I'm entrusting everything to you, Miss Sushang!
Rita sighed softly to herself at the end.
Chapter 203 With the combined efforts of all the laws, the [False God] reveals his true form.
Klossten Town.
Apart from Seele, the Anti-Entropy Herrscher team arrived at a church in the center of town with almost no obstacles.
In front of this distinctly Gothic church, a golden crack was also clearly visible to everyone.
"Otto will finally be seen once we cross this rift."
Taking a deep breath, Kiana's eyes held a hint of complexity.
Ever since she learned the truth about herself, she has wanted to rebel against Otto and break free from the fate he had forcibly imposed on her.
And now, the end of this road is in sight.
"Keep moving forward, Kiana."
Seeing the white fluffy ball's current mood, Bronya spoke calmly, a slight glint in her gray eyes.
"We've come this far, there's no reason for us to back down."
Fu Hua pushed up her non-existent glasses and said.
Although Otto did not violate his contract with her in any way, the harm this man has caused to the world has far exceeded the scope that any contract can measure.
This is something she absolutely cannot tolerate.
"Seele will also do her best."
She tightened her grip on the scythe and spoke in a firm tone, her gentle face revealing determination.
"It's time to demand justice from Otto."
Wendy spoke in a slightly trembling voice, her eyes filled with suppressed anger.
Confined to a wheelchair for three years by her desire for the gem, she even triggered the fourth collapse that nearly destroyed all of New Zealand... Even though Wendy knew that a large part of the reason for this was due to her own weakness.
