But compared to Lu Mian's careful inspection, her inspection was only cursory.
Lu Mian - a strange man who made her feel very kind, gentle and benevolent for some reason.
Kiana——the “good” niece who had just been laughing at herself and hadn’t stopped yet.
Herrscher Mei - The third Herrscher.
Bronya——An unrelated stranger girl.
Muliangta Himeko——Hmm?
Looking at Wuliangta Jizi, who was almost standing together with Lu Mian, Theresa fell into deep thought.
What about fighting?
What about procrastination?
Jizi, why are you just standing there watching!
Did you betray me?!
This is what Theresa thought and asked.
Hearing this, Wuliangta Jizi's eyebrows moved slightly and she rolled her eyes.
Then she has something to say, but she can't beat him in a fight, and she can't explain herself clearly, and people will think she is not qualified.
Is she the one in charge of this operation?
Does she think she is, useful?
What else can we do if we don’t start the swing?
Although she thought so, the person in front of her was her immediate superior after all, so Wuliangta Jizi finally chose a more gentle way of saying it:
"As you can see, I have been conquered. This young man Lu Mian wants to talk directly to the top leader of our Saint Freya Academy. I am not qualified, so I have to ask you to do it."
After saying that, she shrugged helplessly, and the huge pair of evil breasts on her chest shook up and down, ready to burst out.
Theresa's eyes were wide open. She didn't even think of comparing. She just locked her gaze on Lu Mian, indicating that they could start talking about business.
Seeing this, Lu Mian began his statement without further delay:
"To keep it brief, I won't introduce myself. Principal Theresa, we learned about your relationship with Kiana from Miss Himeko Muliangta. I can guess that you want to bring Kiana back to St. Freya's Academy.
"But there is one thing I hope you understand. Kiana will never give up on Raiden Mei and Herrscher Mei. This also means that the two of them are now a community and will not be separated.
"If you want to accept Kiana, you can only accept Miss Raiden Mei and the Herrscher in her body. After all, you don't want Kiana to be sad and in pain, right?
"Ms. Raiden Mei is indeed a Herrscher born in this collapse. I can't guarantee you that she won't hurt anyone, but everything she has done so far is to protect herself. I won't tell you how kind she is, but she definitely doesn't want to destroy the world or kill all humans. I can't show you her determination, so I can only invite you to witness it together..."
This is a long speech, but the central idea is very clear:
Kiana and Mei Raiden are now conjoined twins. If you try to kill them all at once, neither of them will survive.
I trust Mei Raiden so I will stand here and speak. I don't ask you to trust Mei Raiden as well, but I hope you can give your own answer based on the information I give and considering Kiana's opinion.
Perhaps it could also explain the role that Cocolia played in all this, but it seems unnecessary.
Whether information is useful or not also depends on the situation. Information about Cocolia may be useful to Raiden Mei, but it is not suitable to provide to Theresa.
Just like that, Lu Mian methodically explained everything he could.
During this time, he only paid attention to the changes in the expression of Theresa, his "opponent", but did not notice that with every word he said about Raiden Mei, the coldness on the face of the Herrscher behind him thawed a little.
In the end, her face turned red with embarrassment.
"......" After listening to Lu Mian's statement, Theresa fell silent. The other party gave too much information at once, and she was inevitably distracted.
If possible, she naturally didn't want Kiana to be sad.
But Mei Raiden is a Herrscher after all, and this is a serious matter. If she is not careful, the lives of all the students in St. Freya Academy may be lost.
As the principal of St. Freya Academy, Theresa must be responsible for her students.
"I can accept Mei Raiden and the Herrscher in her on behalf of St. Freya Academy, but some protective measures need to be taken," she said.
"What measures?" Lu Mian asked without surprise.
Theresa hesitated, but still gritted her teeth and said:
"To ensure the safety of the students at St. Freya Academy, we will add a restriction to Raiden Mei's body and plant a bomb inside her."
As soon as the words fell, a stone stirred up a thousand waves!
Chapter 52: Kiana Hostage
As the doted-up granddaughter of Otto the Fool, Theresa has a high priority in Destiny.
Except for those things that Otto the Fool didn't want her to know, she could find everything in the Destiny Database.
She knew some of the deeds of the First Herrscher—the idealistic warrior who fought for humanity.
She was willing to believe that Mei Raiden was also a Herrscher who would fight for humanity, but she could not use the students of St. Freya Academy as bargaining chips.
There must be an insurance policy, so she said:
"To ensure the safety of the students at St. Freya Academy, we will add a restriction to Raiden Mei's body and plant a bomb in her heart."
As the words fell, the first person to react was not Lu Mian.
But seeing Kiana, who had been holding Bronya and listening to the lecture for a long time, took two steps to Lu Mian's side and cursed:
"Instead of planting bombs in people's hearts, why don't you put stones in your own food? You little..."
The girl was interrupted by Lu Mian who gently touched her lips before she could finish her words.
"Leave it to me, I will take care of everything." After saying that, Lu Mian once again showed Kiana that smile that he rarely showed to anyone - a reassuring smile.
Seeing this smile, Kiana felt that the anger in her heart disappeared instantly. Without saying much, she hugged Bronya and returned to her original position.
Theresa, who was on the call, looked at her niece who treated her as a bad guy and was severely "cpu" by another man. She opened her mouth but couldn't say anything in the end.
As the principal of St. Freya Academy, she had unimaginable responsibilities, so she remained unshakable.
Cecilia, what should I do, and what will you do...
She looked at Kiana and thought so.
After comforting Kiana, Lu Mian couldn't guess what Theresa was thinking at this moment. He turned around and was about to say something, but he felt someone gently pulling his tattered sleeve.
Looking back, he saw that Raiden Mei had somehow walked to a position half a body length behind him.
"...Um, Mr. Lu Mian..." The girl gently tugged at his sleeve, pursed her cherry lips, her pretty face a mixture of disbelief and deep sadness, her light purple eyes filled with hesitation, and seemed to be mixed with a few trembling tears.
It looks like Raiden Mei woke up during her fight with Herrscher Mei.
It seems that she should be aware of her identity as a Herrscher and the influence she has caused.
"Just leave it to me." Lu Mian did not give Mei Raiden the opportunity to further spread her negative emotions such as sadness and self-blame.
He stretched out his hand, and for the first time broke the proper distance between opposite sexes, and patted Raiden Mei's shoulder soothingly.
At the same time, he completely overturned the statement he had originally prepared.
The current plan is to cut the Gordian knot and use drastic measures!
Just as he was about to engage in a debate with the entire St. Freya Academy, Mei Raiden behind him clicked the surrender button first.
Thinking of this, Lu Mian chuckled and asked Kiana and Raiden Mei a seemingly inappropriate question:
"Do you trust me?"
Hearing this, Kiana did not respond, but the answer had already emerged from her deep blue eyes.
Mei Raiden was distracted for a moment. What kind of role did Lu Mian play in her eyes?
He was the man who actually saved her.
He is a man who is willing to use his body to protect her from harm.
He is also the man who is willing to believe in her even though she has fallen into the status of a Herrscher.
Before darkness and fear engulfed the entire world, a ray of warm light slanted down.
The answer was already clear. Mei Raiden bit her teeth lightly. She was still hesitant, but her voice was unwavering:
"I trust Mr. Lu Mian, whether now, in the future, or in the more distant future."
After getting the answer, Lu Mian laughed from the bottom of his heart, and his face was abnormally filled with youthful vigor - the youthful vigor that only belongs to an eighteen-year-old.
If Otto was present and saw Lu Mian like this, she would subconsciously tremble.
Because she knew that Lu Mian would start to reason unreasonably next.
Lu Mian tugged at the collar of his blood-stained, battle-damaged white shirt, walked slowly to Kiana, and took Bronya out of her arms.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." As he said that, he ignored Kiana's blushing cheeks and gently held her in his arms.
Then, he casually produced a golden pistol and pointed it directly at Kiana's snow-white, smooth jaw.
"!!!???"*n
When this move was made, not only Bronya, no, even Bronya was shocked.
Bronya: (?x?)!
Theresa couldn't understand why Lu Mian, who was so easy to talk to just now, was so extreme and held Kiana hostage, just because of a Herrscher?
Wuliangta Jizi couldn't understand why the plot developed in a direction she couldn't understand just because she was distracted for a short while.
Mei Lei Dian couldn't figure out why Lu Mian did this, was it to invite her to destroy the world together? Should she agree, and how should she face Kiana?
Kiana couldn't understand why Lu Mian wanted to hold her hostage, but she didn't resist. Instead, she raised her chin in response to Lu Mian's actions, making it easier for Lu Mian to shoot her to death.
Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Lu Mian held Kiana hostage and said calmly:
"I speak to St. Freya's Academy."
The voice was not loud and there was no repetition. It just exploded directly into Theresa's ears through the communication device.
"......" Theresa still hadn't recovered from her shock. She opened her mouth but had to wait for what was to come.
Lu Mian held Kiana hostage gently, but not at all gentle:
“Principal Theresa, I am holding Kiana hostage to force you to cancel the idea of installing a bomb on Raiden Mei’s heart. With this, the choice is no longer complicated. You will definitely agree, and I know you will agree.
"My goal has been achieved. How do you feel, Principal Theresa?"
After hearing this, and looking at Lu Mian's face that looked like a "successful villain", Theresa couldn't help but frown.
How else could one feel, surely...?!
For a moment, she seemed to understand what Lu Mian really wanted to express.
Seeing Theresa fall into deep thought, Lu Mian said further:
"I held Kiana hostage, and used this to threaten you, Principal Theresa. Such threats are always unpleasant. Whether it's to you, to me, or to Miss Herrscher who might be watching this scene.
"I admire Principal Theresa's love for her students, but the decision to plant a bomb on Mei Raiden is not a reasonable one.
“It is true that we cannot determine whether the law-abiding people really have love in their hearts, but they must have hatred. I don’t think the restrictions in your eyes can really lead to a good ending.
"Human experiments disguised as 'justice' cannot create glorious deeds that are passed down by the world; ruthless guns with 'killing' as their background cannot emit warm sparks of protection; cold shackles in the name of 'watching out' can only suppress the buds of beauty and love."
His voice was not heavy from beginning to end, but it was deeply engraved in the hearts of everyone present.
It's so convincing.
Chapter 53: Already Awakened
Lu Mian never had the idea of being a mentor, and he always doubted himself when guiding Otto and Kallen in the simulation world.
He would only say a few words of truth when he failed to persuade Otto or Kallen.
This time is no exception.
Everything he said and did was to make things go in the direction he expected.
Bombs will not be a limitation to Mei Raiden, but will instead add a lot of unnecessary trouble to her.
Besides, there's no way Kiana would accept such a thing.
