Hearing Lin Yu's slightly blaming tone, Youlandel said angrily.
"I told you that last time."
"If you don't want me to use the Black Abyss White Flower, then don't mess around."
"I'm really angry this time! Lin! Yu! Brother! Brother!"
Seeing the two of them glaring at each other again, Kiana said to them helplessly.
"Well, actually..."
However, when the two of them glared at each other and shifted their gazes to Kiana at the same time, Kiana instantly became timid.
"——I didn't say anything!"
"Tsk, I don't want this either."
After feeling the concern and annoyance in Youlandel's words, Lin Yu took the initiative to speak in a low voice.
"There's a reason for that. Yuno hadn't transformed into a Herrscher yet. I just wanted to see if I could stop her."
"You, you, you—you're going to piss me off to death!"
Yulandel, who wanted to say something, looked at Lin Yu who took the initiative to surrender and felt that she was about to explode with anger at Lin Yu.
"Is this something we can 'give a try'? Rita tried to save you, not to let you die on the battlefield!"
"You know she cares about you, but now, she has..."
Yulandel was so angry that she thought to herself that something was wrong the moment the words came out of her mouth.
"What happened to Sister Rita?!"
At this time, after Lin Yu heard Youlan Dai'er's words suddenly stopped, he saw a trace of panic that instantly appeared on the girl's face, which she wanted to hide but was completely unable to hide.
"Didn't you tell me before that she went on an investigation mission after she woke up?"
"this and that......"
Seeing the look of help from Yulandel, Kiana immediately started to think about how to make up a story.
Then, just a moment later, Kiana gave up thinking.
"Yulan Daier, forget it."
Kiana, who had directly "betrayed" Yulandel, said to the two of them helplessly.
"Senior is a well-rounded talent who started out as a spy. I don't think our lies, which are full of loopholes, can hide this from him."
"...Alas, you are right."
After hearing what Kiana said, Yulandel did not blame Kiana for actively "defecting".
After all, what Kiana said was indeed the truth.
Lin Yu had been able to hide the truth from her and Rita for almost two years, making them think that Lin Yu had given up on revenge.
With my brain, trying to fool Lin Yu, a big liar, is just asking for trouble.
"Rita was previously assigned by the Bishop to the Oceania branch to protect a Valkyrie."
"But just after the fourth collapse, the World Serpent attacked this branch, took away the Valkyrie, and injured Rita at the same time."
"Although I used the Black Abyss White Flower to heal her body, but... she still didn't wake up."
World snakes... these dogs!
I know clearly that even if I rush out now, I won’t be able to find any trace of the enemy.
But now, after hearing this bad news, Lin Yu jumped off the bed instantly, picked up the new coat that someone had brought to him from the hanger, and put it on.
However, after he made this move, the door of the room was suddenly opened by someone from the outside.
Otto walked into the room and looked at the aggressive Lin Yu, the helpless Yulandel, and the helpless Kiana, and instantly guessed the reason.
"Alright, alright, calm down a bit."
"Especially you, Lin Yu, I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet."
"If you want to help Rita get revenge, you have to wait until we get the coordinates of the World Serpent's base. Now - stay in the room."
After saying these words, Otto looked at Yulandel and Kiana.
Kiana, who was about to speak, suddenly felt the "satisfaction" in Otto's eyes, and felt as if she felt a chill.
It's strange that Bishop Otto cares about me for his own benefit - he had made this clear to me before, and I knew it too.
So why on earth do I have this strange feeling?
This look...as if they've treated me like a lamb to be slaughtered?
No, no, no, this can't be done.
The last time I was at St. Freya's Academy, a strange thought of "killing the senior" popped into my mind.
I'm probably tired recently, so I have these inappropriate thoughts about these people who are kind to me.
"Qiana, Bianca, you two leave for a while. I have something to talk to Lin Yu alone."
"I see."
"Then Bishop Otto, please don't embarrass me, senior."
Looking at the two people walking out of the room, Otto immediately set his eyes on Lin Yu.
Lin Yu, who was being stared at by Otto, had already started to use his brain to think about how to conduct the routine interrogation of Otto next.
【Alas, you don’t need to worry too much. 】
[Once you have left a deep enough impression on Otto, he will constantly revise your impression towards the one in his mind based on your words.]
[This system has said this countless times. Being too clever can lead to mistakes. This is what I am talking about.]
you're right.
But Otto is Otto.
Even though he failed many times in the original novel, it is just a plot made up for the effect of the show.
Only fools would underestimate Otto, whose IQ ceiling is so high.
I'm a coward, not a fool, so it's better to be careful.
"Okay, okay, don't be so nervous young man."
After patting Lin Yu's shoulder with a smile, Otto activated the Mimic Feather Dust as expected, and scattered golden feathers in the room.
Don’t be nervous about this. You’ve already met Yu Duchen. What the hell are you talking about?
This old Deng really has bad intentions. Tsk... let's see how I can fool him this time.
"Come on, Lin Yu, answer me a few questions."
Looking at Lin Yu who had activated the (cold face) characteristic, Otto said with a smile.
"When you fought the Fourth Herrscher, how did you defeat her?"
"Win?"
Listening to Otto's question, Lin Yu, who was "hypnotized" in Otto's eyes, frowned slightly.
"But Yuno regained consciousness on her own. I didn't win at all."
"After she regained consciousness, she even used her power to help me repair my body before she passed out."
"I am only an A-rank knight. I don't have the strength as Mr. Siegfried, Chief Theresa, and Bianca. How can I possibly defeat the Herrscher now?"
It's strange... No, it can't be said to be strange.
It is normal that Lin Yu cannot defeat the Herrscher.
But Yuno...how did this little girl manage to wake up on her own?
"What happened between you two before Yuno regained her self-awareness?"
"Did she beat you nearly to death? Or was there some other accident?"
Listening to Otto's question, Lin Yu said to Otto very calmly.
"After I arrived at the battlefield of the Fourth Honkai, I observed some fragments of glass test tubes and HSN serum remaining on the ground."
"So I suspect that Yuno was able to wake up because Dr. Maki dumped out his reserve serum in advance."
That does make sense.
Alas, I have always doubted Lin Yu, but this little guy...
Hey, if he is really an actor, he is hiding it too well.
Besides, what good could there be in playing a vengeful ghost?
It's ok at normal times, but when a large-scale collapse might occur, he would rush to the front line, and he almost died outside every time.
Risking his life to play the role of a vengeful ghost... Otto couldn't imagine what benefit he could get from doing such a thing.
Forget it, I’ll just ask a few more questions and then I’ll release Yu Duchen.
This kid is very evil. If I use Yu Duchen on him too much and he becomes resistant to it, it will be inconvenient for me to do some things in the future.
"Come to think of it, Lin Yu, you and Siegfried should have talked about it - this guy must have said something bad about me."
"Yes, he called Bishop Otto a beast without an asshole and said that the Bishop had killed his beloved wife."
"...So, do you believe it?"
After asking this question, Otto saw Lin Yu who was hypnotized, and suddenly he showed a strange look of confusion.
"How can I believe this kind of nonsense?"
"Although Mr. Siegfried is a good man, it doesn't mean that I have to believe his slanderous words against the bishop."
"The bishop is definitely not a good person, but he must be a capable leader."
"A leader like him must be able to control his subordinates. In my opinion, Mr. Siegfried and Ms. Cecilia are the two strongest warriors of Destiny."
"Only an incompetent leader would torture his subordinates who have done nothing wrong."
"Bishop Otto, how could he be such a person?"
To be honest, listening to Lin Yu's speech, Otto really felt for a moment that this kid must have woken up and was being sarcastic to me!
But if you think about it carefully, when he and Lin Yu met for the first time, Lin Yu also made a similar comment to him.
Lin Yu never thought Otto was a good person.
But he was still willing to help Otto.
Unless Lin Yu had the ability to resist Yu Duchen's power from the beginning, what Lin Yu said now matched what he said in the past, so it would be unnecessary for Otto to still have doubts.
After shaking his head gently, Otto felt that his suspicion was getting worse.
Lin Yu is a lucky general.
What's more important is that he is an obedient and lucky general.
For this lucky general, I have repeatedly doubted his character.
Hey, that's enough. As the plan becomes more and more completed, I become more and more cautious.
In the next second, Otto, who had released Yu Duchen's power, looked at Lin Yu who had suddenly woken up, and said to him with a helpless smile.
"Look at you. I wanted to ask you a few questions, but you fell asleep."
"Don't be so anxious to apologize. If you do that, I will have to punish you severely - I will forbid you from going on missions for half a month."
Oh, are you serious?
Mr. Bishop, sometimes you have to try to be a human being.
"Okay, no rebuttal."
Looking at Lin Yu who was in shock, Otto continued to ask.
