The more she thought about it in her free time, the more anxious she became. She asked Kiana indirectly more than once, trying to find out the extent of her relationship with Su Jue. However, the responses she got were either perfunctory or irrelevant.
But she couldn't participate in the promotion. Needless to say, Su Jue would die if he dared to talk nonsense. She finally found an opportunity from Kiana, but was still caught.
She pretended to be angry, pinched Qiana's cheek, and said in a threatening tone: "If you don't seize the opportunity, Su Jue will be kidnapped by someone, don't regret it."
However, Kiana, whose face was deformed, just shook her head and said seriously: "He won't."
"..."
It was as if her chest was shot by a sharp arrow. Ji Zi was hit hard and showed an expression of disbelief. What a confident statement this was. She thought about how she had tried so hard to find a good man to marry, but she never succeeded until she died.
"Teacher Jizi?"
"Forget it." Waving her hand to indicate that she was fine, Ji Zi looked into the girl's eyes and smiled with relief.
Isn't this what I expected?
From the moment she heard the recording when the boy found her in the imaginary space, Ji Zi actually knew that their destinies began to intertwine.
Just like the headphone wires in your pocket, one day they will get closer and closer, and get more and more tangled.
The trust that Kiana showed in Su Jue in the recording was the initial seed and the starting point of their relationship.
Seeds will always germinate and grow, but they need to experience wind and sun before they can bloom and bear fruit.
"In that case, I won't get involved in your affairs. I can't do anything anyway."
During these few days, Kiana and Jizi seemed to have returned to Saint Freya again, completing the journey that they had not had time to complete during the Cataclysm.
The regret and self-blame for killing Himeko were finally forgiven through the teacher's comfort and healing, and Kiana's inner emptiness was finally filled.
But peaceful times are always short-lived. Kiana still has her own path to go and people to save, so she cannot stop here.
Ji Zi is slowly accepting Qian Jue's organizational affairs and transforming into Su Jue's logistics support. In the future, she may be stationed in Tianqiong City, the base camp, for a long time.
The fire that belonged to Ji Zi has long been passed down, and what follows is Kiana’s own growth.
"Kiana." Before leaving, Ji Zi still couldn't hold back her emotions and hugged Kiana tightly, "Remember, no matter what happens, Teacher Ji Zi will always be your harbor. Even if Su Jue bullies you, I will do my best to help you."
"Well, I will."
After hugging each other for a long time, the two finally separated and tried their best to control their emotions.
"Oh, and this." Kiana spread her hands, and a red feather spun in her palms. Fu Hua had been sleeping, and no one knew when Yu Duchen would be able to gather enough energy to wake her up.
"This is the consciousness of squad leader Fu Hua. She helped me a lot along the way and also suffered a lot of injuries. Let her rest for a while on the rest of the journey. Before I find a way to revive her, I'll leave it to you, Teacher Jizi."
"Don't worry. Fu Hua and I will be waiting for you, waiting for the day when we meet Bronya and the others again."
The moment the sun rose, Kiana stepped into the transmission channel, and the girl set out on a journey to find Su Jue alone.
Ji Zi stayed where she was for a long time until she heard Wendy's call. Then she walked back into the house with a smile on her face.
In any case, the relationship between the two children is finally on the right track, and all that’s left now is for them to move forward on their own.
Chapter 294 Li Sushang and Otto
Destiny.
The airtight door of the special laboratory opened with a hiss, and the blond man walked out slowly. The sound of soles of shoes hitting the metal floor echoed in the narrow and quiet passage.
Extending his fingers and pushing his forehead, Otto's eyes were filled with deep fatigue. Even his soul steel body could not hide his mental weakness. However, for him, such fatigue had long been accustomed to him in the past five hundred years. The only difference was whether the result could satisfy him.
Obviously, the results of this observation experiment were worth keeping him awake for so many consecutive days.
The data brought back by Qianjie Yicheng confirmed many of his guesses and filled the knowledge gaps about imaginary space. More importantly, he finally saw hope of saving Kallen from these data.
This is like a shot of adrenaline, and it's worth it no matter how tired I am.
He walked through the corridor and returned to his office. However, as soon as he opened the door, a girl who was sitting at her desk in a daze came into his sight.
Otto was slightly startled, then immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Su Chang, you're back." His address was as intimate as it was five hundred years ago, making the girl feel almost no sense of disobedience.
"Yeah." Li Suchang, who had been waiting for a long time, turned around, stretched out her hand to support herself on the edge of the table, and jumped off the desk lightly. "You don't look very mentally well?"
"No, I'm in a pretty good mood right now." Otto closed the door and walked to the coffee machine to pour a cup of coffee. "What about you? What do you want to drink?"
"Coke on the rocks, please."
"It seems that you have learned a lot of new things during this vacation. How do you feel about modern society?"
Li Sushang took the cup, took a sip, and felt the bubbles burst in her mouth. "It is indeed quite novel, but for me from [Zizaimen], it just adds something that allows ordinary people to enjoy life, without having to pay attention to etiquette like before."
She paused here.
"what happened?"
"In the end, people are still the same people, and the world is still the same. Even if times change, some things will never change easily." As if she was thinking of something unhappy, her expression was a little lonely, "Just like five hundred years ago, Luosha people, you set out on the road to find immortals alone. Five hundred years later, there are still people who make the same choice."
"It seems like you have met someone similar to me?"
"Yes, just as mysterious. His eyes always inadvertently reveal a sadness that I don't understand. Even if I look into his eyes, I can't see through his heart." The girl shook her head a little irritably, her hair gleaming with golden light in the sun.
Otto noticed that Li Sushang's hair was obviously tied differently than when she left, and it seemed that she had done it herself. Taking a sip of coffee, Otto said in an encouraging tone: "Why don't you tell me his story?"
According to the bait arrangement left by Susanna, Otto naturally noticed the abnormality in Tianqiong City and guessed that Li Suchang might be talking about Su Jue. However, he only knew that he was still alive, and the specific information was not clear. It would be best if he could get detailed information from him.
But Li Sushang just shook her head and refused. For some reason, she didn't want to tell Otto about Su Jue's story. Maybe she simply felt it was inappropriate, or maybe she felt she should keep Su Jue's secret.
After all, this is just a story between her and that boy.
She remembered the bright moonlight, the shadow imprinted on the ground, the dancing sword blade, and the young man who was pierced by the ink-stained fragrance and gradually turned into particles of light and disappeared.
Even when he was dying, Li Suchang never saw any regret in his eyes. It was obvious that if he just said the word "senior sister", Li Suchang would save him even if she tried her best.
But he didn't. Even when he was in a possessed state, his eyes were still clear.
At first, Li Suchang didn't understand why he did this. Later, she found out from the reflection in his eyes that Su Jue was never looking at her, but at the Herrscher girl.
The girl who was willing to eat Li Suchang, the Taixu Sword God, in order to find Su Jue's whereabouts.
"Hey, Rakshasa, why would you choose to go to such lengths? With your abilities, there should be more ways to achieve your goals."
Li Suchang did not feel regretful, she was just a little confused.
This is true for Otto and Su Jue. For the sake of someone, they are willing to bear the sin and become obsessed. They will not stop even if there is an abyss ahead.
Otto paused while drinking coffee, looked out the window at the bright sunshine, and replied softly: "Perhaps it is because people cannot see the sunshine when they are desperate, so they can only mistake darkness for hope."
"I don't know."
Otto smiled lightly and consoled her, "It's just a fool's self-mockery. Su Shang, it's a little too early for you."
Li Sushang was only 15 years old and was still a little girl. She was still in the ignorant stage of love, which was indeed a little too early. Even if there were feelings sprouting in her heart, it was difficult to understand what they were.
She scratched her head, almost fainted by Otto. Fortunately, Li Suchang had a carefree personality and didn't get tangled up in it, and she quickly cheered up.
"Forget it. I don't understand your business. I came back this time to fulfill my promise."
Five hundred years ago, Otto saved Li Sushang's life, and she owed him many favors. Now that she has awakened, she promised to help Otto fight a battle - no matter how dangerous it is, to repay the favor.
"Of course, but now is not the right time. You have just woken up and there are still many things that need to be adjusted. I will arrange for someone to help you get familiar with your new identity."
"A new identity? That [S-rank Valkyrie]?"
"Ha, it seems that Susanna has talked to you quite a bit."
"Yes, she told me a lot of things, such as the Herrscher."
Otto showed an interested look, "Herrser? Have you ever met one?"
"No." Li Sushang shook her head. In fact, she knew that Su Jue was a Herrscher and he had revealed his identity. But Otto was her friend, and so was Su Jue. She could not reveal Su Jue's secret to Otto.
drip.
The phone rang suddenly, and Li Suchang took out the phone Su Jue gave her and saw the message Su Shana left for her. She pressed the screen somewhat uncomfortably, replied to the message, and smiled.
"That's it, I'm leaving now."
"Go."
Otto waved his hands helplessly. It seemed that Li Suchang had indeed gained a lot and even learned how to use electronic equipment.
Li Sushang opened the office window and jumped down, landing steadily on the flying sword. Her clothes fluttered, and the red kite doll hanging around her waist also swayed in the wind.
The Immaculate Sword Embryo, even if the sword is stained by the mortal world, it is still the pure Li Suchang.
Looking at the girl's back, the smile on Otto's face gradually disappeared, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
"Su Jue... the Herrscher who came back from the dead, the Herrscher who can open up the imaginary space, I really want to see what's so special about you."
Chapter 11 Domination Play Canned Food
"Otto Apokalis."
The golden eyes disappeared, and Su Jue put down the information he had collected, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
During this operation in Sky City, Otto caused him a lot of trouble.
Although the possibility of coincidence is relatively high, Otto did seize the weakest moment of Su Jue and successfully calculated him. With just a little special bait, he not only tested the possibility that he was still alive, but also forced Su Jue to change his plan.
From this point of view, Otto is indeed one step ahead of Su Jue.
However, it was Otto's calculations that allowed Su Jue to discover the threat hidden in the core of reason and law in advance, and use this threat to formulate a new plan.
This is the game between smart people. Being calculated is only temporary. How to use the other party's calculations to make up for losses or even gain greater benefits is the core of the game.
Of course, judging from the ending, Su Jue is definitely the one who benefits the most.
What he gained was not props or power, but changes on an intangible level.
This is of vital importance to Su Jue. To some extent, its importance even exceeds that of the end. It is a fundamental change in his style and future plans.
This gain was precisely the transformation of his emotions.
Feelings have always been Su Jue's biggest weakness. He carries too much despair, so he can't see his own path clearly, which often makes him feel restrained and bound by his own strength.
This weakness was an absolute flaw for the Taixu Sword God, preventing him from learning the last move of the Taixu Sword Qi. The Illusion Plan made up for this flaw for him.
Not by forgetting, but by facing your feelings.
Feelings are Su Jue's weakness. When he learns to face up to his feelings for Kiana, the weakness that troubles him will collapse on its own.
This was a sublimation to his state of mind and almost changed his code of conduct.
There was no way. Kiana was simply too important to him. From the initial plan to the present, she had always been the absolute core. Even if Su Jue wanted to ignore her, he couldn't.
Now, this flaw has completely disappeared, and the shackles that bound him have completely broken.
If the Pacific War severed the external constraints from the Honkai Will, this time it was purely Su Jue who severed the shackles of self-restraint, allowing him to go further in the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.
Once the inner flaw disappears, the next thing becomes much simpler.
With the help of the initial layout, Su Jue successfully aroused Li Suchang's emotions at the end of the incident and induced her to use the complete form of Taixu Sword God.
Su Jue had no interest in taking advantage of other people's girlish hearts, so after obtaining the complete Sword God data from Li Suchang, he decisively gave up his life, handed over this body constructed by Li Lu to the other party, and completely ended his involvement with the other party.
In return for deceiving the girl, Su Jue will help her once in her future plans, but that's all.
In short, the biggest gain of this operation is the sublimation of the heart and the consciousness protection of Taixu Sword God. These two are what Su Jue needs most at the moment, just like a pillow for someone who is sleepy.
The biggest restraint of the hive consciousness is the Herrscher of Consciousness, but now even if the Herrscher of Consciousness is fully eroded, it is impossible to break through Su Jue's consciousness defense. This is not only the confidence given to him by the Taixu Sword God, but also the effect brought by the inner perfection.
As long as the level of consciousness is not broken, Su Jue has a hundred ways to deal with the threat of the Ruler of Consciousness.
As for Otto, whether it was for Su Jue's own expansion of power or revenge for the Kong Lu experiment, he would confront him sooner or later. To be precise, the game between the two had already begun when the observation experiment began.
However, as Su Jue and Otto are behind-the-scenes masterminds with similar styles, the boundary between enemies and allies is not so clear.
Even if they know that they are being plotted against by the other party, they will try their best to use each other to achieve their own goals. Similarly, even if they are allies, they will not mind tripping up the other party when cooperating.
But when Su Jue realized his feelings for Kiana, he was destined to find ways to get rid of Otto one day. The final duel between the two was inevitable, and it would depend on who had the more sophisticated means left.
Otto's plan this time was not a problem for him, but Su Jue was not someone who liked to suffer losses. If he had the chance, he would definitely retaliate.
But there is no need to target Tianming specifically now, he has more important things to do.
Today's Domination Theater is no longer the dilapidated state it once was. The part destroyed by Taixu Sword God has been restored under the power of creation.
Although Su Jue did not deliberately plunder the power of the core of reason and law, in fact, after the trial of 30 wills, Su Jue's mastery of creation is not low. However, the power of reason and law only expanded the versatility of Su Jue's ability, and did not bring about a substantial increase in strength.
What Su Jue lacks now is a more powerful force, a force that is enough to overwhelm all obstacles.
