Honkai, starting from being approached by Qiyana

Li Shubai's movements paused slightly, and he secretly became vigilant in his heart.

Although Rita's gentle and bright smile didn't seem to be malicious, Li Shubai knew very clearly that, unlike Youlandelle, Rita was not a member of the Hyperion. During this period of time, her The standpoint of Kiana, Raiden Mei, and even the eastern branch of Mandate of Heaven run counter to each other. In a sense, what Rita now represents is the will of Otto, the bishop of Mandate of Heaven today.

Asking for a gift in return for helping him prepare breakfast... How rare this is for the maid Ji, who has always engraved elegance, humility and courtesy in her bones. Looking at the breakfast in front of him, he raised his gaze without changing his face, and nodded calmly: "Of course not, but the prerequisite is that I can't touch my bottom line."

To reiterate, Li Shubai has a flexible personal moral bottom line.

He can sympathize with the harm and destruction of ordinary people when encountering disasters; but he can easily regard the law as nothing, without any moral burden, and characterize Cocolia's imprisonment of Raiden Ryoma as a complete frame Behavior.

Therefore, after uttering this sentence, Li Shubai was actually ready. He mustered up all his strength in his heart to fight a watertight defensive battle in the next rhetorical confrontation with Rita.

Regardless of whether Rita will threaten or lure him next time, Li Shubai has absolute confidence and unswervingly said the line engraved in his DNA for a long time, and he wanted to say the last line: But, I refuse!

However, Rita did not express her request immediately.

"Then, please allow Rita to ask a question first." She put her slender fingers as white as jade on her lips, and the corners of her mouth outlined a happy and brilliant arc.

Li Shubai picked up the water glass with no expression on his face, blew into the hot mist rising from the water glass, and let out a tone that sounded very impatient: "Talk."

Then, he took a sip of warm water to relieve his tiredness.

The moment Li Shubai's voice fell, Rita stretched out her hand in a lightning-fast manner, and hugged Youlandelle's fragrant shoulders who didn't know what was going to happen next, and then clasped her hands together. The upper arm of the blond Valkyrie with a confused face, like an unscrupulous merchant selling his own goods, showed Youlandal with a chair in front of Li Shubai's eyes.

"Master Li Shubai, do you think our Lord Youlandelle—" Rita smiled slightly at Li Shubai, her smile was very bright in the morning sun, "—is she beautiful?"

"Pfft!!!" Li Shubai tilted his head, and sprayed out all the hot water that he hadn't swallowed, "You...cough...cough cough cough!"

As a result, he had just opened his mouth, and the water leaking into the intake pipe made Li Shubai cough uncontrollably, and swallowed all the words that followed.

Compared with Li Shubai, Ulandal, who was regarded as a "cargo", did not have any overly violent reactions.

But that was obviously only temporary, because the reason Urandale hadn't reacted was not because of her calm personality, but because she was stunned by Rita's outrageous actions.

She stayed motionless for about ten seconds, and then her face turned from blue to green, then to purple, and finally turned into a crimson color that she didn't know whether she was angry or shy.

"Rita——!! You..." Before Youlandelle could attack, the sudden cold touch on her arm made her tremble all over, and all the follow-up words she wanted to say were blocked at once. went back.

That is Rita's own ability. She can control the environment and her own temperature within a certain range. Although it is definitely not as good as the crescent particles of the God-killing Armor Cang Knight Moon Soul, if it is only used to alert Youlandai Er, but it is more than enough.

With her mouth shut, Youlandelle turned her face in a daze, and looked to the side, just in time to see Rita squinting at her, so she immediately understood Rita's intention in doing so .

... But understanding is understanding, and understanding is another matter.

Even if you want to help her pass the interview, there's no need to use such...so embarrassing methods! !Youlandelle lowered her head in embarrassment, her dignified and noble face was covered with charming blush, just like a delicate and beautiful apple, making people want to take a bite after seeing it.

If it was through the screen, maybe Li Shubai had already started calling Goose Bao my wife.

...but he is now facing a real person.

Although the real person is also very beautiful, but this real person can hang up a hundred of them for ten rounds, and then twist them head to toe into twists.

Li Shubai tremblingly looked at Youlandelle, who was blushing and lowered her head, swallowed, and had to admit that Youlandelle, who had indeed fallen into a shy state, was indeed extremely beautiful, and looked at it in surprise Eye Rita.

... But it's useless to look at it. It's obvious that Youlandelle has directly turned off the language module in her brain and is not ready to speak. Rita smiled brightly, and she didn't seem to have the slightest intention to explain.

Li Shubai hesitated again and again, and after realizing that no matter how he thinks about it, the things he can't handle are still the facts he can't handle, and he finally made a decision, and nodded with some difficulty: "Well... Let me personally evaluate... yes... ...is beautiful."

"Then what do you think... Rita's appearance?" Rita smiled brighter, she stretched her face slightly forward, and put it on the shoulder of Youlandelle, "Does it suit your aesthetic view?" ?”

Li Shubai raised his eyes, stared at the bright and elegant face of the maid, swallowed his saliva, and nodded: "Of course, both Miss Rita and Miss Youlandell are beyond reproach beauties, I think there should be no exceptions." A long-eyed man would deny that."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but after he finished saying this, Li Shubai always felt that he saw two small devil horns on the Katyusha on Rita's head, her gorgeous and elegant smile, in Li Shubai's eyes It's so dangerous, like a rose with thorns.

"Since you have such a high opinion of the appearance of Rita and Master Ulandal..." The corner of Rita's mouth curled up in a joyous arc as if she had won, "I don't know if Master Li Shubai has a good opinion of us two People, have some other ideas?"

Li Shubai shut up.

other ideas?

How does this make him answer?

Whether you nod or shake your head here, it will become a social + physical double death.

He has almost seen the same end of two different branches.

If you nodded—"I didn't expect you to be such a person? There's no other way. In order to prevent potential threats in the future, this is a necessary sacrifice. Don't blame Rita for being ruthless, Master Li Shubai." Wipe the sickle across his neck , blood all over the ground.

If you shake your head - "I didn't expect you to be such a hypocritical person, such a hypocritical person, it's better not to cause trouble to the world, right? Don't blame Rita for being ruthless, Mr. Li Shubai." Wipe the sickle across the neck , blood all over the ground.

He looked desperately at his end five minutes later, as if he was going to spit out all the air in his body, sighed long and mournfully: "Well, Rita, Miss Rita, what do you want? What? I'll give it, can't I give it? Can you stop playing this game?"

This breakfast is a rhythm for him to eat cold, Li Shubai thought sadly, sure enough, the debt of favor is the hardest to repay, so he should get up early to get something to eat in the future.

"Are you interested in letting me be your subordinate together with Master Ulandal?" Rita said.

"Okay, okay, isn't it just to let you... eh?" Halfway through the speech, Li Shubai's words stopped.

He tilted his head, feeling his thoughts suddenly stuck.

What did Rita say just now?

"Don't doubt your ears, Mrs. Li Shubai." Rita put a smile on her face, she fixed her gaze on Li Shubai's eyes full of confusion and bewilderment, and asserted calmly and indifferently: "Are you interested in letting Li Shubai Will Ta and Lord Ulandal be your subordinates together?"

"...Why?" Li Shubai was dumbfounded. He suddenly realized that he couldn't believe it, and looked at Youlandelle, "By the way, have you already..."

"...Yes." Facing Li Shubai's stunned gaze, Ulandelle nodded, "The me now is not the 'Youlandelle' on your ship."

"Wait, wait, wait a minute, my mind is a bit messed up by what you said." Li Shubai rubbed his forehead that was starting to ache, "Let me take care of it first, Rita, you should be confused from beginning to end." The original self, right?"

"Yes, Rita has not accepted the consciousness mapping of outsiders." Rita nodded.

"Since this is the case, you will know about the consciousness mapping, presumably because my Yolandael revealed it to you?" Li Shubai frowned, "What else did she tell you?"

"She believes that after the consciousness mapping is over, in order to verify the truth about herself, the original Master Ulandal will inevitably choose to return to the headquarters of Destiny and confront Bishop Otto face-to-face. After returning to the headquarters of Destiny, I will continue her duties and protect you as much as possible." A subtle smile appeared on Rita's face, "To be honest, this is the first time I have seen Master Ulandal. I can't help feeling a little bit jealous when I'm so interested in someone of the opposite sex."

Urandelle had a strange expression on her face, and hesitated to speak. Although she knew that Rita was not talking about herself present, but... Hearing what she said, Urandelle still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Then she...why is this Youlandelle here and not returned to the Destiny Headquarters?" Li Shubai asked, and suddenly understood, "Because you also know about her?"

"That's right." Rita nodded in affirmation, then turned her gaze away, and looked into Yolandal's eyes tenderly, which made her feel a little embarrassed, "To gain the full trust of Lord Yolandelle, It's Rita's pleasure."

"That can't explain why you want to be my subordinates." Li Shubai frowned, "Although they regard me as important, I don't think I'm really qualified to use their power. I'm ashamed to say, From the beginning to the end, my side is only accepting help unilaterally, and I don't have much power to use myself."

Probably because he felt a little frustrated when he said this, Li Shubai's words paused slightly.But admitting his own powerlessness and accepting help from others, Li Shubai didn't think there was anything wrong with it in terms of rational thinking, so he quickly broke free from this slight depression.

"So, why do you want to be my subordinate?" Li Shubai shook his head, "If you don't understand this issue clearly and can't grasp your exact purpose, I will not agree."

"You are very cautious and rational. No matter how sharp the power you can't control, it may become a sharp blade that hurts you at any time. Such considerations are understandable." At this time, it was beyond everyone's expectations. Ulandal, who had been silent at first, spoke suddenly.

She raised her blue pupils that were as clear and noble as jewels, and stared seriously at Li Shubai's dazed gaze: "But, I'm sorry, I still hope you can accept us."

"...Because you know what will happen in the future, you can't accept Otto's actions?" Li Shubai asked.

"There is a reason for this, but there is another more important reason. I believe in my own judgment." Urandale said firmly, "Since she, who is stronger and more correct than me, thinks you are the most Good choice, then, it must be the same for me."

"... Do I have the right to refuse?" Li Shubai was helpless.

"Of course." Rita smiled, "It's just that, judging from the current situation, it seems that you have no reason to continue to refuse. After all, just like what you said yourself, the current you seem to be There's not much power at your disposal."

"...uh." Li Shubai, who was lifting a rock to hit himself in the foot, choked hard and couldn't help rolling his eyes, "Well, you're right, since I've confirmed your purpose, I really didn't reject your reasons."

He sighed, stretched out his palm in the direction of Ulandal, and said with a smile: "So, happy cooperation?"

"..."

Rita and Urandelle looked at each other, showing a knowing smile, and then stretched out their palms, pinching Li Shubai's palms from left to right: "Happy cooperation."

Youlandelle and Rita, who had achieved their goals, and Li Shubai, who confirmed their positions.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief in unison, and their minds relaxed involuntarily.

——However, this kind of relaxation also made the three of them lose the room to react to the next thing.

That really, happened in an instant.

When the three of them fell into relaxation, Rita and Ulandal's body surfaces were dyed with a faint light without warning.

"Huh? Li..." It was too late by the time Ulandal, who was the first to react, realized something was wrong.

As a result, when Li Shubai was awakened by the voice from Youlandelle and came back to his senses, he was stunned to find out.

Rita and Ulandal, who were still in his sight half a second ago, have completely disappeared out of thin air.

Chapter 53 The Hyperion's Emergency Meeting 5k

——Sea of ​​Quantum Hyperion.

For Li Shubai, the eerie and surreal scene in which Urandale and Rita disappeared instantly made him extremely astonished.

Then, for Rita and Ulandal, it was more than ten times astonishing.

They just felt a blur in front of their eyes, and the surrounding scenery completely changed in less than one tenth of a second.

Under the feet is the touch of inorganic steel, and what the tip of the nose smells is the hard and cold breath of metal.

In this not-so-capable enclosed space, Yolandelle and Rita looked at each other, and frowned slightly at the same time.

Looking around, it was surrounded by metal, the walls were shimmering with bright blue electronic light, nothing was placed on the open ground, and there was a huge mechanical hatch right in front of it.

"What is this place?" Ulandal frowned.

"Except for the surveillance cameras, there are no other mechanical devices on the walls, and there are no air outlets on the ceiling. It is impossible for people to live in such a closed space for a long time. It looks like a place similar to a storage room. "Rita looked around, squatted down, stretched out her fingers on the ground, and wiped it lightly, "Although nothing was placed on the ground, there was no dust on the ground, even if it was not used, it has always been Well cleaned by the owner."

Ulandal hesitated for a moment, and walked to the huge mechanical cabin door: "This is the only exit, let's try to see if it can be opened."

She squatted slightly, injected strength into her arms, and was about to forcefully break through the door with brute force, but was stopped by Rita the moment before she swung her fist.

"Don't be impatient, Master Ulandal." Rita stretched out her hand, put her palm on Yolandelle's arm, and shook her head lightly, "Let Rita try to see if she can unlock it first."

"Can you do it? You can't find other tools here." Ulandal asked.

"Perhaps, the owner here is not hostile to us at all?" Rita said softly, and then she walked to the biometric identification platform standing beside the cabin door, and gently covered the scanning screen with her palm.

A flash of green light flashed, and amidst the mechanical sound of metal colliding with each other, the hatch was opened without hindrance.

"It seems that the owner here does not intend to imprison us." Rita said.

"Even if this is the case, we can't relax our vigilance for the time being." Youlandelle walked out of the cabin door first, looked around the corridors around, and suddenly tilted her head with some doubts, and a big question mark appeared on her head, " Huh? Is it my illusion?"

Why is this kind of texture and structure corridor so familiar?

...like in the Hyperion?

The moment the two walked out of the hatch, there was a loud beep, all the warning lights were turned on, and the dazzling red light flashed rapidly.

At the same time, hurried footsteps came from another section of the corridor.
