Chapter 1199: Changing the Order

The morning sun shone through the curtains into the room. Zijing slowly opened her eyes and found herself lying alone in bed. The room was quiet, with only messy sheets and a few scattered pillows to prove the chaos of last night.

He rubbed his temples, trying to recall the last scene of last night:

With the "strong alliance" of Alicia and Velvet, it eventually turned into a situation where many people stayed overnight. Mobius insisted on "supervision", Yaezakura and Sakura refused to leave, and finally even Eden stayed to "maintain order". Zijing remembered that she fell asleep exhausted amid the sound of people arguing about who would sleep where.

Not knowing what happened after she fell asleep, Zijing felt that it would be better for her not to know, so she quietly lifted the quilt, changed her clothes, and went out of the room.

Zijing didn't sense many familiar faces in this big house. They must have gone out.

When we arrived at the restaurant, we saw sandwiches and hot milk on the huge table. I don’t know who prepared them.

After finishing breakfast with a grateful heart, Zijing went outside. Although it was located in the headquarters of Tianming, there was not much noise here.

There were two figures squatting in the garden, Theophile and Benares, these two guys did not join the party last night.

Zijing walked over slowly, and the two Honkai beast girls turned back at the same time when they heard the noise.

"Ah, it's Li." Theophil looked up at him and said blankly.

"looking at what?"

Amethyst squatted down beside the two of them.

"……this."

Benares first looked at Amethyst with complicated eyes, then pointed at the small caterpillar crawling on a petal and said.

In the past, she did not have the opportunity to observe the world in detail. Theophile kept Amethyst's instructions in mind and stayed with Benares to at least not let her feel lonely.

As people of the same kind, Zijing felt that they should have very good compatibility.

This is indeed the case. In addition to visiting Xilin frequently, Benares is also willing to spend more time with Theofil.

Benares reached out to tease the little caterpillar, letting it crawl onto his hand, and then, under Amethyst's shocked gaze, he put the little caterpillar into his mouth.

"Wait, you can't eat this! Spit it out!"

Amethyst grabbed Benares' shoulders and shook him, and finally used her power to take out the little caterpillar that was covered in sticky liquid.

Although it's okay for Honkai beasts to eat anything, Zijing couldn't help but correct her when she saw her eating such a strange thing right in front of her.

"Forget it. I have something to do and I'm leaving now. Theophile, teach her later not to do anything weird."

"it is good."

Amethyst sighed, gently placed the little caterpillar back into the flowers, and headed for Otto's residence.

There had been an appointment before, so the door was not locked and Zijing was able to get in with just a light push.

Otto, wearing formal attire, sat on the sofa and smiled at Zijing: "I heard that you held a...unique party last night?"

"Yeah, the scene last night was really chaotic..." Zijing said helplessly.

"Hehe... Let's get back to the topic. I've brought you all the information you requested."

As he spoke, Otto picked up a folder from the table beside him and handed it to Zijing. Zijing took the folder and just opened it, she saw some research materials about Honkai and Herrscher inside.

In the past, Otto would not have been able to produce this level of information, but after cooperating with the people of the previous civilization, Mei had the research results of the previous civilization handed over to him.

And Zijing now asks Otto to hand over the information to her, and the latter will naturally not refuse.

However, Otto still asked: "What do you need this information for?"

“Do some research.”

Amethyst answered simply.

"Can you tell me more about it?" Otto asked.

"..."

Amethyst was silent, seemingly hesitating.

"Ok."

Just when Otto was about to give up, Zijing continued, "Actually, it doesn't matter what I say. The direction I plan to study is...how to speed up the Herrscher's arrival."

"Oh?"

Otto smiled with interest. Although ordinary Herrschers would never get any advantage against humans today, the same could not be said for the Herrscher of the End.

After talking with Mei, Otto also more or less realized the true horror of the Herrscher of the End.

At least Otto doesn't think that accelerating the arrival of the Ruler of the End is a good thing for human civilization.

However, despite this, Otto had no other thoughts except a slight surprise. He believed that the other party must have his own reasons, so Otto would not stop Zijing.

Amethyst does have her own reasons.

He thought that compared with them outside, the weight of the Ruler of the End was far from enough.

From easy to difficult.

Zijing is worried that he will fail in the future battle with them. By then, the people around him who support him wholeheartedly will also be in crisis because of his failure.

Mei gave up the plan she had made long ago and chose to believe in herself, help Zijing "become a god", and then fight against the End. However, Zijing thought that the order should be reversed, first deal with the Herrscher of the End, and then fight against them outside.

Now the other two "Li" haven't shown up either, making the situation even more confusing, which might prompt them to take action.

After weighing the pros and cons, Zijing thought this was the best option.

"Have you told your ideas to anyone else?" Otto asked, referring to the people of the previous civilization.

"Not yet, maybe I'll tell them after a while."

Zijing said with some embarrassment. After all, she had such thoughts because of her lack of confidence, and speaking out might make everyone worry.

"Just make your own decisions. I believe in you."

Otto said, "If you need any help, you can always tell me, and I am willing to lend a hand."

"Thank you."

Amethyst nodded, then opened the folder right in front of Otto and began to study it carefully.

Otto sat quietly beside him, accompanying him silently. Time passed by little by little, and Zijing sometimes frowned in thought, and sometimes recorded quickly, as if the whole world was only the information in front of him.

At noon, Otto sent someone to prepare lunch, while Zijing put down the information. He had memorized all the contents in his mind and could study them further anytime and anywhere.

The lunch prepared by Otto was high-end steak and red wine. Of course, Otto drank the red wine himself, and according to Zijing's request, he poured pomegranate juice for the latter.

"Thank you very much...I'm sorry for wasting so much of your time."

"It's okay, I'm glad I can help you."

When Zijing left, she thanked Otto again. Otto didn't care, "You are always welcome to my mansion. Next time, I will have someone prepare more meals that suit your taste."
