People are crumbling, they're vile strangers

"?"

"Klein... activate the anti-gravity module—you float up and have a look."

Mebius, who was unfamiliar with the place of life and didn't know much about New York, the hometown of anti-entropy, was amazed by the expressions of the people here, and gave instructions to Klein in his arms.

"Uh, yes, Doctor—"

As she wished, Klein escaped from Mebius' arms, floated in Mebius's trial, and looked at Mebius with somewhat confused eyes.

This time, the behavior of Klein and Mebius did attract a lot of people's attention, but they quickly turned their heads back... It seemed that they were just novel, but it was not surprising...

"Klein...they seem to be very accepting of you...but they probably haven't seen the armed dolls...?"

Mebius' tone was slightly confused, as if he didn't quite understand why the people in this city looked at his Klein with a strange look...

"Perhaps they've seen something similar, Doctor—after all, we don't understand this era...?"

"In other words, in this era, or in this city, are there armed dolls or similar things? Hey—how do you pronounce the name of this city, Klein?"

"New York, Doctor—the city is called New York, and it looks like Mr. Gray Snake mentioned that the Anti-Entropy Organization is also in the city."

Klein pointed to the tallest building among the buildings, and a huge "S" logo that looked like lying flat was hung on the building as a logo.

"Anti-entropy... Tinghui Snake said that it is an organization composed of scientists...?"

Mebius fell into deep thought again, as if he had some new bold idea...

.....

-------------------------------------

"Heh——North America....It's such a familiar place. I hope that my old friends won't come here without warning and punch me a few times."

The blond man in a white suit looked at everything in front of him with green pupils and took a deep breath...

Then he fell into the same confusion and problem - where to catch the Herrscher of Domination, and then let her obediently hand over the core...

The thinking man didn't stop like Mebius, but walked straight ahead, and then...he bumped into a green-haired lady...

The two paragons of the flexible moral bottom line of human beings, who both conspired against the core of the Thousand Heralds, completed their first meeting here.

"Umm—sorry, ma'am, you're not hurt, are you?"

The impact brought Otto back to his senses immediately, and grabbed Mebius who was also distracted and almost fell...

[Hmm... This woman has a lot of Houkai reactions... and... green hair?It still looks natural, and this hair color is rare. 】

[A certain doctor of anti-entropy, the intelligence department seems to have mentioned to me that there is indeed an anti-entropy executor with green hair... But it doesn't look like the lady in front of you...]

In a short contact, the man completed his observation of the lady in front of him, but there were still some doubts that he hadn't found out, so he decided to be careful first...

And Mebius, who was accidentally bumped into by him, also looked at the man in front of him vigilantly, showing a fake smile——

"Ah...it's all right, thank you for your help, kind sir."

"Where is it? I accidentally bumped into you first, ma'am. How dare I accept your thanks. I should apologize to you."

Otto also looked at Mebius in front of him, showing a "sincerely apologetic" expression, but he didn't know that his old self was also seen by the other party...

[A body made of soul steel? ? ?What the hell is this man, but his ideas are really bold...]

[And this... Void Ten Thousand Zang made by Wei Wei?This thing was not sent out by Su... Wait a minute for this golden retriever? ! 】

【The family descendant of the person Su sent out seems to be called Apocalypse...that golden-haired god mentioned that the real Apocalypse of this era is only her and her father...】

[This blond man is Otto Apocalypse?Hmph, that's really interesting——I want to see what you want to do....】

*Good evening Night City--!

*I'm your good friend Stan, and I'm here to steal your tickets again!

Eternal Paradise: Chapter 420 Three Famous Paintings in the World: The Second Spring of Otto Apocalypse

The two old foxes, one gold and one green, were thinking fast in private, and their skills on the surface were not lost. They were polite to each other, one pretended to be a lady, the other a gentleman, and exchanged names politely along the way.

Then, Mr. Seventh Emperor of Rome named Marcus Salvius Otto, short of Caesar and Augustus after his name—

As well as his friends, Ms. Mebius, who also didn't plan to use her real name, called herself Melklius, and Ms. Yingjie who planned to cosplay the Mercury Serpent....

This is fresh out of the oven——

.....

"Md is dead, why didn't these two people get together—"

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, who just sneaked out of the Jifeigoutiao Anti-Entropy Building to fish, looked at the two old foxes in the cafe in the distance, and couldn't help but twitch recently.

"If that lady saint catches this... tsk tsk tsk—"

The savior who smacked the snake decided to ignore these two guys and go out to find some fun of his own. Ms. Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple who turned her head and left the street didn't notice that there were several flashing lights in a certain place on the opposite corner of the street. light.

"Tsk tsk tsk, send it to mom—"

"The title of the email is Otto Apocalypse Spring—"

Adhering to the idea of ​​cheating without limits, the girl not only took photos secretly, but even made a fuss about the name of the email....

The unlucky child never thought about the tragic future fate of his father...

"My lord, I said, is it really good for you?"

"Aren't you afraid that the holy lady of Kaslana's family will crush that Mr. Otto with a single punch?"

"Anyway, Daddy Scrap will be crushed several times—not bad this time, Wuni."

Snow Apocalypse, who was busy editing emails, didn't even want to raise his head, and replied directly to his apostle.

“…”

"Hiss... I hope the old man's family is okay—"

Taking a sympathetic look at Mr. Otto, who was still fighting with Mebius in the cafe, the silver-haired little girl who turned into Wu Ni shook her head and turned her attention back to the ice cream her parents bought for her.

Mr. Otto?Forget it, the ice cream in hand is more important.If you don’t eat it, you will melt it——

.....

"Ahh-!"

The blond man in the coffee shop sneezed violently, attracting everyone's attention...

"What's the matter, Mr. Otto? Is there something uncomfortable—as a doctor, I may be able to give you some advice."

Mebius looked at the man in front of him who suddenly sneezed, and began to pretend to care about the person in front of him.

"No, thank you for your kindness, Miss Melkelius, I think someone is talking about me—"

Otto looked in front of him and was not a serious doctor, and even Mebius, who was probably not a serious person, decisively and politely rejected her "kindness".

[Hiss—old friend, who are you recruiting now? This kind of guy who doesn't look like a serious doctor, I think you are more suitable for our destiny...]

[Joyce, Joyce, your anti-entropy ethics committee is unqualified, ah, unqualified——]

It's not clear who the green-haired doctor in front of him is, Otto secretly slandered his old friend in his heart, why is anti-entropy recruiting all kinds of monsters and ghosts, and didn't even notice that the other party wanted to dissect himself after being rejected by him? The strong desire to see the structure of Soul Steel Man——

"Cough cough cough—then what does Mr. Otto want to do when he comes to New York this time? Seeing your formal attire and dusty appearance... I think you are not here for tourism, I think You seem to have something on your mind, too?"

Seemingly noticing that something was wrong with his eyes, Mebius withdrew the eyes that wanted to dissect a human body, and began to change the subject.

"Ah, Miss Melkelius, your observation skills are really sharp—yes, I'm not here to visit New York this time."

"How should I put it...my official occupation is probably a private detective, who is fairly well-known all over the world--I recently received a commission with a reasonable salary to come to the local area to investigate the recent frequent cases of missing persons."

As if to create a sense of mystery, Otto deliberately paused, and continued:

"It is said that those missing people disappeared into a closed room under surveillance, and there will always be an identical puppet left at the scene."

"Oh? The exact same puppet? Sounds like the same prisoner—"

Mebius pretended to be interested, and responded to the man's performance.

"That's right, but it's also possible that it's a copycat—after all, there have been examples of the same type of disappearances occurring simultaneously in areas with a difference of hundreds of kilometers between the north and the south."

"Hmm—it does sound like a tricky case..."

Mebius nodded, as if he had found his way——

【Thousand-person lawyers of this generation like this kind of tune... But they call themselves detectives... Then, Mr. Bishop of Destiny, let me make good use of you--】

Just when Mebius began to think about how to maximize the interests of the man in front of him, Otto, who was also thinking about it, also completed the cliché for Void Manzo

After a friendly exchange of merciless beatings and terrifying threats—I will throw you to my daughter without saying anything, Mr. Otto Apocalypse also understood what the green-haired lady in front of him was. person.

"Then, Miss Melclius? What are you doing here?"

"Me? I'm here to find a university professor of medicine named Hawes Hagen for a private academic exchange—"

Mebius, who just pretended to be playing with his mobile phone but actually sent harassing messages to Gray Snake, also got the information he wanted from his own creation, and began to make up nonsense——

【Hmph—that guy is missing anyway, no one can confront me, and even if it is possible to confront him, he is worthy of my academic exchange. 】

"Professor Hawes Hagen? I'm sorry ma'am I may have some bad news for you—"

Otto showed a somewhat embarrassed expression...

"Oh? What bad news?"

Mebius chose to ask what he knew.

"...The professor you are looking for is the first victim in this series of disappearances."

"Ah...how could this be—"

Mebius showed a somewhat "surprised" expression...

"Sorry ma'am, I have some unfortunate news for you..."

.....

"Why hasn't Dad finished with that ten thousand-year-old snake spirit? I can write a lot of small compositions on the changes in their expressions just now—"

Si Nuo, who was lying on a bench by the street, pretending to be reading a newspaper, muttered, and in the communication directory of the mobile phone, the message of the contact marked as "Mother Karen" was already 99+ at the moment.

"Come on, Master Otto—"

*I never disappoint when it comes to the great lack of virtue
