Playful! Collapse!

"Haha, Doctor, the quality of your robotic arm is not very good."

...I don't think it's a problem with the robotic arm.

Feeling that the atmosphere around him was still very awkward, Siegfried changed his silly smile and suddenly spoke to Yuan Yan in a serious tone.

"Alright bro, I'm not going there this time because of Cocolia."

"So don't worry about me getting in your way. Once we get there...I want to meet someone."

"I've received news that this time, Heaven has sent the Valkyrie Squad, the Undying Blade, to fight on the front lines, so..."

"——After so many years, I should go and see if my precious daughter is doing well now."

After hearing Siegfried's reasons, Yuan Yan fell silent.

Although he had lost his parents for many years, he was not an orphan from the beginning and he knew very well that parents are almost always full of love for their children.

The man in front of him has lost his daughter for so many years, and now he knows her whereabouts. So it is impossible for Yuan Yan to say, "Brother Fei, don't send me off. I think something is wrong with this place."

This is really difficult. If it was just Cocolia, it wouldn't be a big problem.

But just like the doctor said, Otto definitely has the idea of ​​making a big news.

In that case...

——We have no other choice but to fight quickly and decisively.

.................................................. ..................

In a certain cafe, the gray snake, who was now in disguise, of course did not appear in this place.

It was very clear about its current position with the World Serpent, and because of this, it only sent a subordinate it trusted to contact a man in the cafe.

"Oh, sir..."

After arriving at the coffee shop, the blond man looked at the contact person in front of him and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I remember you. You are an expatriate from our Tianming Intelligence Department."

"It's clear that Mr. Gray Snake is very capable and adept at dealing with people. Even our members of the Destiny Group are impressed by your charm."

"Otherwise, there is no explanation..."

"——Not only are your subordinates spread far and wide, some have even infiltrated our Tianming."

Facing Otto's ridicule, the man did not show much expression on his face. He just activated the communication equipment and directly opened the intelligence screen.

In the intelligence screen, Gray Snake looked at the blond man who actually came here for the appointment, and said to Otto in a cold mechanical voice:

"Mr. Otto, you're joking. We're all fighting against Honkai. In this situation..."

"—Is it necessary to be so clear about this?"

"Ha, Mr. Gray Snake is right. We are all comrades, and there is really no need to be too eager about these details."

After sitting in front of the man, Otto said to the gray snake with a smile.

"After being tracked down by my loyal subordinates, Mr. Gray Snake actually took the initiative to leave a message at Shencheng Pharmaceutical, hoping to negotiate with me."

"Now that I'm here as promised, I think it's time for Mr. Gray Snake to have a frank and honest talk with me, right?"

"Indeed, then let's avoid those boring probings and get straight to the point."

At this time, the gray snake looking at Otto, and Otto looking at the gray snake, both had a preliminary understanding of the other's current thoughts.

This guy actually contacted me using this method.

This guy actually showed up for the appointment right away.

Hey—he must be getting angry because of Yuan Yan! *2

It’s good to be anxious. Once you are anxious, I will have the initiative when negotiating the price!

.................................................. ...

PS: 4K, continue tomorrow

The story that the World Snake has a spare black box is a plot I created. I don’t remember this thing existing in the original book (of course, it is not ruled out that it really existed but I just forgot about it).

Of course, although it is a second creation, I don’t think it’s particularly outrageous that this thing was prepared.

The situation at that time was that Ling went berserk after her death, and then Fu Hua, Kevin and others dealt with some problems in the base, and finally Ling was imprisoned by Mei.

Judging from the timing, the black box was either something that was not difficult to construct and was made immediately after Dr. Mei came up with the plan, or it was a high-end instrument prepared in advance.

But if the latter is the case, it's a bit awkward.

The previous civilization, without knowing the abilities of the Herrscher, wasted time and effort preparing an extremely sophisticated instrument that they weren't sure would be useful... I don't think they had the time.

Under these conditions, I personally think that the structure of this black box is not as sophisticated as imagined, and it may be something that Mei can just tinker with.

As we all know later, the power of the Herrscher in the later era was determined. So, knowing how terrible the erosion was, I don't think it's too outrageous that the Fire Moth left a spare black box... right?

Volume 1: Chapter 95. Judas! My Judas!

Whether in Otto's eyes or Gray Snake's eyes, they both felt that the other party must be extremely anxious now.

This actually cannot be considered a wrong judgment. The two people's current estimation of each other's attitude is not only not wrong, but can even be said to be very accurate.

But after the two sides communicated with each other for three minutes, they suddenly discovered something.

The other party might be really anxious, but the situation on their side is not much better.

Whether it was Gray Snake who left a message directly at Shencheng Medical, or Otto who came to the door without saying a word, they had already guessed the other party's general thoughts when they exposed their inner emotions.

If they continued to talk about the same things over and over again in this cafe, they would only be wasting each other's time.

And continue to waste time...

The possibility of the Herrscher taking over Yuan Yan's body will become stronger.

The probability of Yuan Yan mastering the power of the Ruler of Erosion will also be greater.

In addition, Anti-Entropy's apparent combat power is now no less than that of Destiny. Otto feels that continuing to waste his time is simply because he has nothing to do.

Originally, he dared to let Dr. Maki take away the Serenity Gem because he was confident that he could keep the old man in his sight.

As long as the spies he sent out could monitor Dr. Maki well, Otto would not have to worry about the Serenity Gem being taken away. Instead, he could take advantage of this opportunity to create another big event with the help of Cocolia.

If his original plan succeeded, not only would he be able to continue to throw dirty water on Anti-Entropy, he would even be able to meet the Herrscher he was second most looking forward to seeing - the Herrscher of Death.

But now, the situation is different.

Although this guy called Gray Snake was also anxious, the fact that he dared to come meant that he must have a card in his hand.

If this guy also joins the game, then with so many variables, my already messed up plan will be completely ruined.

"What's the matter, Mr. Otto?"

Looking at Otto who suddenly stopped talking, Gray Snake asked with a sneer.

"If you want to continue this time-wasting conversation, I don't mind playing with you."

"Anyway, I have plenty of time. The one who can't afford to lose now is not me, but you."

"Oh? Is that really true?"

Although the other party's words hit home his inner anxiety, how could a veteran like Otto show any sign of retreat at this time?

"To be honest, although Tianming and Anti-Entropy have had a bad relationship before, they have also cooperated in the past."

"Even the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, who has a deep blood feud with me, would choose to join forces with me to deal with the enemy that we should all prioritize in the face of the overall situation."

"Mr. Gray Snake, think about it carefully. Compared to Destiny, a difficult but proactively well-intentioned potential ally, is it possible that Anti-Entropy...will join us in pointing our guns at you first?"

"Well, that's true."

Listening to Otto's words, the gray snake in the light curtain not only did not say a word of denial, but nodded slightly, agreeing with Otto's words.

"Indeed, rather than confronting an open enemy, perhaps eliminating the third force lurking in the shadows before fighting against destiny would be a good option."

...Threats are useless to this guy.

He is so stubborn and hard to deal with.

"Besides, if Mr. Otto feels that such words can threaten us, then I can only be disappointed in Mr. Otto."

After saying this, the gray snake shook his head slightly.

"We came to talk to you with sincerity and did not choose Anti-Entropy. It's not because we think Anti-Entropy is not good, but..."

"Never mind. There's no need to say so much. Since Mr. Otto isn't sincere in cooperating, then it's not impossible for us to cooperate with Anti-Entropy."

Having said that, Gray Snake said to his subordinates.

"The conversation is over. As planned—"

"Oh, that won't do."

Listening to what the gray snake said, Otto suddenly smiled at the gray snake and said.

"Mr. Gray Snake, treating your subordinates as pawns that can be easily discarded is not a good habit."

The World Snake members, who had already prepared the funds, suddenly lost their minds when they saw a large number of golden feathers appear before their eyes.

Otto, who directly used Yu Duchen, peeked into the man's memory with Yu Duchen, and suddenly discovered that the gray snake seemed to have known his actions in advance and did not show any reaction to his actions at all.

"Mr. Otto, I personally suggest that you don't waste too much time on this."

"Just as I didn't leave any clues for Shencheng Pharmaceutical to track us down, the people I sent here won't know where I am."

"I usually communicate with him through a single thread. If you hope to find clues about us using this method, it's better to give up now."

After realizing that this man really didn't know any clues, Otto smiled and said to Gray Snake.

"Haha, Mr. Gray Snake is really meticulous in his work. I admire you a little bit."

"I originally thought you were just an intelligence dealer in the Shenzhou region, but now... you are indeed qualified to cooperate with me."

Damn, this guy knew about the existence of Xukong Wanzang in advance - that bastard never told me any information about these guys at all!

"I do have enough time, but because of your actions, my patience has run out."

After saying this, Gray Snake placed the spare black box in front of him and showed it to Otto.

"Originally, I was hoping to make a deal with Mr. Otto and give him this gift in a half-sale, half-gift deal."

"But now...never mind. I'd better keep this thing for myself."

This is......!

Looking at the black box, Otto suddenly felt that his emotions were a little out of control.

Otto, who has persisted for five hundred years because of his obsession, can now control his emotions freely most of the time.

But only when he recalled the years he spent with Kallen five hundred years ago, he would still reveal some unnecessary emotions.

Now, looking at this black box, it felt like Otto's thoughts went back to a long time ago, and a feeling of regret arose in his heart.

Just over five hundred years ago, because of his self-righteous actions, he released the demon in the black box.

Karin, who noticed the abnormality, rushed to the scene with the restraint key and tried her best to seal the demon back into the black box.

But it was precisely because of his and his father's actions that Kallen was completely disappointed with destiny.

In order to help Tianming deal with that extremely troublesome guy, Kallen didn't even have time to take the Key of God away, and directly fled from Tianming with the black box.

Otto has always had some boring fantasies.

If I had chosen to leave Tianming with Kallen at that time...would things have been different?

But there is no "if" in this world. Otto, who was reminded of someone by the things he saw, became extremely clear-headed at this moment.

He had missed it countless times five hundred years ago, and his mistakes back then led to Kallen's death at the hands of the Honkai Beast.

Now...he can't keep making mistakes.

Yuan Yan, this guy is a bigger threat than I thought.

Although there's no guarantee that he can now perfectly wield the power of the Herrscher of Corrosion, but right now... I'm the one who can't afford to lose.

I can't let my plan completely collapse because of a momentary impulse.

After revealing his trump card, Gray Snake looked at Otto's expression and knew that his last trump card had worked.
