Chapter 83: Ninti Heard the Voice

"How is Chiyou?"

"After the last Herrscher-level Honkai reaction, there has been no overall abnormality. The Honkai value on the surface of its body hasn't changed much, and it is still lying on the seabed. Until..."

"Until?"

At the round table, Einstein turned her gentle gaze from little Ninti in Tesla's arms to Cocolia and frowned slightly.

Cocolia took a sip of hot water.

Speaking of which, we have to thank Delta for using the Domination Theater to locate Chiyou along with Titans, Angel and Kella, in the deep sea. She occasionally releases power to create signs that Chiyou is ready to move. Of course, this is the secret of the Angels, and no one else knows except themselves.

"Until two hours before you arrived, we captured another strong Honkai reaction, and the data was even more exaggerated than the last time. You can take a look."

Cocolia reached into the deep cleavage of her chest, took out a warm mobile phone, and pushed it in front of Einstein.

Einstein frowned, opened the screen, and Tesla also came over to check the data.

Tesla rubbed Ninti's head and pouted. "It's so unlucky. It hasn't been long since the Third Herrscher, and now this kind of monster comes again... Isn't the end of the world really approaching?"

"I don't care about the end of the world. Since it appears in front of me, I will solve it thoroughly. Dr. Tesla, I don't want to hear complaints. What I want to hear is what kind of weapons you brought." Cocolia said calmly.

Tesla wanted to yell more but, seeing Cocolia's cold and serious eyes, she iinally just stuck out her tongue and didn't argue further.

Einstein smiled and said, "Is it to protect your child?"

"Everyone has their own goals; there is nothing more to discuss on this topic. Tell me, what cards did the two doctors bring?"

"A cannon with the highest technology available. It can't wipe out that kind of behemoth, but it may play a decisive role at a critical moment. Additionally, we have two thousand Padrinos. Their performance might not match your BT, but they are enough to open a path in Chiyou's body."

"Two thousand Padrino basically emptied most of the top quality mechas in North America. But it is not enough; I want the authority of the silver bullet!"

Cocolia knocked on the table and asked directly.

Einstein paused and said, "The situation is urgent. In principle, I agree, but let's report to the Lord first."

"Okay. What does Saint Freya say? How did the Lord discuss it with them? I really don't want to say too much, but isn't it ridiculous that a B-rank Valkyrie spied on the information this time?"

Cocolia looked righteous and even sneered—as if she wasn't the one who secretly communicated with Angel and sold Welt's position.

This topic embarrassed Einstein and Tesla.

Einstein clenched her fist to her mouth, coughed, and said, "Ahem! The Lord did this for his own reasons. Maybe he leaked the information on purpose. After all, if he didn't do this, how could he bring Saint Freya and the Schicksal Headquarters in?"

"This is enough to deceive Dr. Tesla."

Cocolia said expressionlessly.

Tesla had a question mark on her face, then slapped the table and shouted, "What do you mean? Do you know how high the IQ of this genius is!?"

Cocolia did not answer but said to Einstein, "Although I have locked up all the little mice that sneaked in, the headquarters of Schicksal should have known about Chiyou and Xuanyuan Sword. According to my intelligence, Schicksal will send three S-level Valkyries: Durandal, Rita, and the artificial Herrscher Delta that Oceania has just created."

"... Artificial Herrscher? Did they succeed!?"

"Successful. The new Herrscher merged with the Gem of Desire. Its power seems to be air pressure and storm, and its true identity is still unclear. I only know that it fought against Durandal for a long time. It was the abnormal weather in New Zealand a few days ago; you should know something about it."

"So it was an artificial Herrscher that time? I didn't expect them to succeed. Is it another Welt?"

Einstein couldn't help but cross her fingers tightly, and a hint of complexity flashed in her eyes. After a long time, she sighed, "I don't know how many girls were sacrificed to get to this. Schicksal is exactly the same as before."

"Ha! If they could change, I would have joined Schicksal in Siberia. I chose to work for Anti-Entropy because I couldn't tolerate using girls or even children for cruel experiments. It seems that I have no right to say anything to them. After all, in the end, I am doing the same thing."

Cocolia laughed at herself. Then, without waiting for Einstein or Tesla to speak, she turned cold again and said, "In short, I don't believe they came up with this lineup just to cooperate with us to deal with Chiyou."

"You are right. With Otto's style, he is probably targeting the Lord."

"But we can't hand Chiyou over to Schicksal. Judging from the situation of the second eruption, they might watch Chiyou smash the Asian continent. The Lord must be present, and Schicksal will definitely target him, so I want silver bullets not only for Chiyou but also for necessary protection!"

"Okay, I understand."

Einstein nodded. As it involved Welt's safety, she had to suppress the last bit of hesitation and basically agreed to Cocolia's application.

Then, the two continued to discuss possible crises and response plans.

Tesla became more and more distracted as she listened, unconsciously starting to whisper with Ninti, completely giving up participating in the discussion.

"I heard it again..."

Ninti, originally passively responding to Tesla's chatter, suddenly, as if she heard something, moved her little ears slightly and looked down.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Ninti?"

"A sound. That very big thing made a sound."

"Ah?"

"Lonely, empty, and full of confused sounds. It's very similar to me at the beginning."

Ninti spoke in a tone that confused people, then raised her head and looked at Tesla with clean and transparent purple eyes.

Tesla tilted her head and looked down with a confused look. Except for Ninti and her own two pairs of white and tender legs, there was the floor below and nothing else.

"Haha, Ninti, what nonsense are you talking about? There is only the floor below, and the ocean below. There is nothing on the seabed except... eh?"

Tesla's smile froze for a moment as she obviously thought of the object Ninti was referring to.

"Dinglingling!"

At the same time, a piercing alarm sounded from the speakers on the ceiling of the conference room. Tesla suddenly showed an expression of disbelief and looked at Cocolia in a daze.

But Cocolia calmly pressed the button under the table, turned off the alarm bell, and said calmly, "It is an alarm of super-standard Hobkai energy reaction, just like the previous two times. However, the pilots and BTs on duty at the bottom of the sea did not send a warning. It seems to be a simple energy reaction. Don't panic."

"No, no, no, just now Ninti said... said..."

"You guessed right. The only huge thing in the sea is Chiyou, Dr. Tesla."

"What about Ninti?"

Tesla widened her eyes in astonishment. At this time, Cocolia reached out and hugged Ninti to her arms, pinched her face, and smiled softly, "Did you hear it again this time, Ninti?"

"Yeah. Just like before, very lonely, very... sad feeling."

Ninti's tender face showed a bit of sadness as if she felt some kind of sad emotion.

Cocolia raised her head, sighed, and said to Tesla and Einstein, who were full of doubts, "This is information that has never been leaked before. I am worried it will attract the covetousness of the archbishop. Ninti seems to be able to hear Chiyou's voice, although I have failed to capture this voice by various means. In short, Ninti wants to get close to Chiyou or even enter its body."

"Because it is too far away, I can only hear it, but cannot respond. I want to talk to her." Ninti blinked her clear and flawless eyes and added a little stupidly.

Einstein was stunned for a moment. She was not thinking about the voice but why Ninti could hear it. Then she stood up suddenly, pressed her hands tightly on the table, and gritted her teeth and said, "What did those researchers do to Ninti!?"

"You should ask World Serpent. I just found out recently that the real source of technology and experimental information is with them. It seems our 'cooperation' with World Serpent is much longer than we know!"

Cocolia smiled, hugged Ninti, and her eyes flashed with a terrifying murderous aura that made people's hearts palpitate.

Einstein sat down with a gloomy face and said slowly, "Let's share intelligence. Whether it's Schicksal or World Serpent, your ability in intelligence is unmatched."

"I have no objection, but you also have to release more technology."

"Okay. World Serpent, I will definitely catch their flaws!"

Einstein looked at Ninti with a confused face, forced a smile, and suppressed the rage that was about to explode in her chest.

...

"Ms. Cocolia, why do you suddenly want us to withdraw from the East China Sea-related operations?"

The night after the meeting, the Gray Serpent in the communicator asked humbly.

Cocolia held the hot water that Sin had just forcibly replaced and said with a straight face, "Schicksal has dispatched three S-class Valkyries, including the artificial Herrscher. The three elders of the Anti-Entropy Conservatives are all present. It can be said that the eyes of the two major organizations are closely staring here. Unless you want to show up officially and have enough combat power to deal with the trouble, otherwise... you decide what to do."

"Thanks for the reminder."

Gray Serpent's mechanical eyes flickered.

Although it was expected, this situation is indeed a great pressure for the current World Serpent.

They are snakes lurking in the dark, and only after the return of the Lord can they become snakes surrounding the world.

At present, the entanglement in the dark, the Gray Serpent is not afraid of the two organizations, but there is no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.

So, as Cocolia suggested, avoiding this eye of the storm is the only option.

"My only hope for you now is to give me as much information about Schicksal as possible. It would be best if you can fill in the gaps that I have not been able to explore. It doesn't matter if you can't. I have my own plan."

"Okay. Then about the Chiyou sample and the Divine Key..."

"I'll do my best for the sample. Forget about the Divine Key, but if I can get it, maybe you can borrow it with what I want."

"That's right. I can't provide direct help, and I can't ask for more."

Gray Serpent said with regret.

But it's not that regretful because what they want now is to welcome back the Lord, and for this, they need the Herrscher Core or the real Herrscher. Everything else is icing on the cake, and it doesn't matter whether they have it or not.

"Speaking of which, in today's meeting, Einstein and Tesla really have a deep grudge against you for using Joyce's genes for experiments. It is estimated that they will increase their efforts to investigate later, so you should be careful."

Cocolia suddenly seemed to remember something and reminded him casually.

Gray Serpent was silent for a while.

Didn't you do this yourself!? We were just encouraging and providing some technology!

However, Cocolia had already paid the price of taking the blame, so Gray Serpent could only bit the bullet, nod and say, "Thank you for your reminder."

"You're welcome. We are close partners, hahaha!"

"You're right!"

Gray Serpent had a good attitude and a good mentality and was even a little grateful for Cocolia's special reminder.

This partner is really nothing to say. Except for letting him take the blame once, she gave everything he could, whether it was intelligence or resources. Her own ability is also nothing to say. The recent development momentum is getting better and better, the value of cooperation has been rising again and again, and she will also remind them to avoid risks.

The idle chess move that he didn't care about back then seems to be an extremely correct choice now!

Gray Serpent looked at Cocolia, who looked confident and leisurely, and became more and more appreciative and satisfied.
