Can you beat Kevin?

Luo Mo nodded slightly. He had a plan that required him to go out with Elysia soon, and he needed this stigmata for that. He wanted Elysia to unleash her full power.

But he also had to act fast to save Himeko.

"Wow! You have a solution? ♪ " Elysia exclaimed, amazed,

Himeko lifted her head, puzzled. She gazed at Luo Mo with doubt.

"Luo, Luo Mo," Theresa said, stumbling over her words. Her eyes sparkled with hope. She pleaded, "Please, can you help Himeko?"

"I need a favor," Luo Mo said.

He wasn't trying to exploit the situation, but he could use Himeko's assistance.

"Oh, I'll do anything you ask; just save Himeko!" Theresa agreed eagerly.

"Remember that," Luo Mo said vaguely, glad to have Theresa's promise.

He thought that he would have some fun with Theresa later, and let her release her frustration.

He motioned for Himeko to go far away and listen. The scent of a mature woman entered his mind. It was as warm as fire and fragrant. Her dark red hair was a little messy.

He looked at her closely, and noticed that she had faint shadows under her eyes. She had been struggling with a sickness for the last few days and had trouble sleeping.

He whispered, "Himeko, I need you to do something for me… stay here for the next two days, and don't wander off too far."

Himeko raised her eyebrows, and said with a teasing smile, "Are you planning…?"You don't want Theresa to see, right?"

The corner of Luo Mo's mouth twitched, and he shook his head. "I need to use the power of the thing I gave you. Just don't move around for two days."

"Is that all? I thought you had something more exciting in mind. You don't have the guts, do you??"Himeko looked scornful.

She was only joking, of course. She would never agree to anything like that.

"??? " Luo Mo gave her a roll of the eyes and let her figure it out on her own.

Himeko looked at it, glanced at Theresa, and said jokingly, "You shouldn't be... interested in Theresa, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Luo Mo said angrily, "Remember to restrain your strength later."

"Is this really going to work?" Himeko asked, doubtful.

"Believe me."

"Luo Mo, what are you whispering to Himeko? Do you have a way to help her?"

Theresa called out from afar, sounding anxious. She cared deeply about Himeko, her companion.

"Theresa, just stick this card on Himeko's back."

Luo Mo handed her a card. It had a dark background, with a red silhouette swinging a huge sword, surrounded by flames.

A four-star rare stigmata —— [Murata Himeko]

Theresa grabbed it without hesitation and quickly got ready to place it on Himeko's back.

"Wow! What is that??"Elysia gasped, amazed by the sight. She didn't think that Luo Mo had another one of those.

She had felt the power of the stigmata before. It had boosted her strength by half, even when she shared some of her energy with others. It was unbelievable.

But she doubted that the stigmata could save Himeko now.

Her body was ravaged by the Honkai infection. She needed a long time of rest and healing, not a sudden surge of power. It might be too much for her to handle.

"Wait a minute! Theresa, there is your man next to you! " Himeko shouted as she saw Theresa undressing her quickly.

"What the hell, man?" Theresa glanced at the scene; maybe because Himeko's death touched her, she didn't blush and said calmly, "Oh, you say Luo Mo, just treat him as if he is not a human being."

However, the hand still stopped.

She didn't really want people to see Himeko's body, and it felt even weirder when she thought it was the Luo Mo she was familiar with.

"I can't pretend I didn't hear this; what do you mean I'm not a human being?" Luo Mo said, dissatisfied,

He had just brought out the equipment to heal Himeko, and Theresa dismissed him like that?

"Do you have any idea what they call you at the company?"

"Great boss?" He was proud of his achievement. He had led the team to develop a game that became a global sensation!

"Hmph," Theresa snorted coldly, revealing the reality: "Sooner or later, the capitalist will be hanged by the masses! Get out of here!"

Luo Mo had no option but to leave the room, dragging Elysia and Eden with him.

"Hey, let me go! I want to watch; this is a rare chance! ♪ " Elysia protested loudly as she was being pulled away.

"Ellie, you..." Eden showed a troubled expression.

"Ah! Eden, I'm just worried about them. I'm sure they could use my help! ♪"

Elysia realized that she had made a bad impression on Eden, and quickly tried to justify herself.

"Ellie, you don't have to do that." Eden smiled and shook his head, rejecting Elysia's excuse. "Why don't you listen to what Luo Mo has to say?"

As they left the villa,

"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" Elysia took the opportunity to fix her clothes and smooth her bangs.

"Ellie, do you think you can defeat Kevin?"

"Of course… not. Kevin is unbeatable. And besides, girls shouldn't fight each other! ♪ " Elysia laughed, but her eyes showed her determination.

Luo Mo didn't respond to her humor and said bluntly, "Well, when we meet Kevin, you'll have to persuade him!"

"Wait, what? Why do we need to confront Kevin?"

"We can't delay this any longer. I've heard that Kevin is not at his best right now. Even though he shouldn't be hostile to you, we can't take any chances. Let's use this opportunity to go to the Quantum Sea! "

"Hold on; I'm confused. What about Wendy and Himeko? Don't you have to help them?"

"First, show me that device."

"This? " Elysia held it in her hands, and the small Rubik's Cube transformed into the device she had seen before.

It was obvious that it was another creation of Vill-V.

"Do you carry it with you all the time?"

"Of course, it's not very heavy! Besides, my companions don't want others to touch it! "

"That would be more convenient. Let Himeko stay here for the next two days, and she will temporarily provide the machine with power of the stigmata." 

"Then, we'll go and meet Kevin. Don't worry, I'll talk to him. Maybe we can avoid a fight with Kevin?"

"The question is, why does Kevin believe that you are really Elysia? Or, what should I do if he wants to hit me?"

"Attack you? What did you do to him? Elysia wondered. She was puzzled. She thought they had barely interacted with Kevin.

Luo Mo looked at the golden garden beside him and kept silent.

The wind blew, and there was an awkward silence.

"Well, it seems so! You have emptied the Elysian realm!!" Elysia had an awkward, yet polite, smile on her face.

"Isn't the problem that you want to escape?"

"Then just look who Kevin will fight!" Elysia was not to be outdone, and she was even eager to give it a try.
