Chapter 24
Old Yang: That damn Honkai is still chasing me!
Star Train.
Inside the observation car, Walter was sitting on the sofa.
He gently adjusted his glasses, his expression very solemn.
For some reason, his unease grew stronger after the train arrived at the space station.
"Dan Heng clearly said that the situation on the space station had basically stabilized, so why can't we still contact Himeko?"
"Has something happened?"
Just then, a message popped up on his terminal.
Walter frowned after reading it.
"Apocalypse Beast?"
"Looks like I should get off the bus and go help Danheng and the others."
However, just as Walter was about to get out of the car, he inadvertently glanced out the window.
That one glance made him freeze on the spot.
On a planet not far away, countless dark red cracks appeared, and in the very center of the planet was a symbol resembling a cross.
"???"
"Dead spots?"
Before he could take a second look, a huge creature flashed before his eyes.
Walter was once again deeply shocked upon seeing this.
Because that was none other than a Judgment-class Honkai Beast!
He was very familiar with the appearance of this Honkai Beast.
"Be... Benares?"
"How is this possible?"
Moreover, there seemed to be a figure on Benares's body.
Walter was very familiar with his figure.
Do not!
To be precise, he would recognize it even if it were reduced to ashes.
But he refused to believe it.
He gripped his staff tightly, his eyes fixed on the figure that filled him with rage.
My heart felt like the sky was falling and the earth was cracking.
impossible?
Doesn't Benares only listen to Sirin?
Why would I be controlled by him?
What exactly happened?
Why are Honkai Beasts and Death Marks here?
As he was pondering, Benares quickly approached the train and then flashed past from under it.
Then Walter saw a head appear on the ground in front of him.
The head slowly rose and eventually transformed into a blond-haired man.
The man wore a familiar smile.
"Long time no see, Joachim."
"Old friend, have you missed me?"
It's him!
It's really him!
The damn Honkai is still chasing me!
The usually composed Walter, however, gritted his teeth and shouted:
"Otto!"
Pam, who was sweeping the floor nearby, was startled and quickly asked:
"Walter, passenger, what's wrong?"
"Pam, get away, it's not safe here!"
Although she didn't understand why Walter was so nervous, Pam still swayed her body and quickly ran behind the sofa next to her, peeking out her head to secretly observe.
"Oh, Joachim, it's really sad to see you like this."
Otto shrugged, but there was no sign of sadness on his face.
"Shouldn't we be happy to reunite with old friends?"
"Oh, right, I think I just heard you say that Himeko has lost contact?"
Walter's pupils dilated instantly, and he roared:
"What did you do to her?"
"Don't worry, Joachim."
"Because...Himeko is dead!"
"???!!!"
As Otto spoke, he slowly turned around, his back to Walter, raised his hands, and began his incessant speech.
"I killed Himeko because I had no other choice."
"You seem very angry?"
"How am I supposed to explain this?"
"You may have lost Himeko, but you still have me! I can definitely become the navigator of the Star Train, can't I?"
After saying that, he turned around again, his face still bearing that familiar smile.
"So, former Lychee Herrscher, please be a little more lychee-like!"
"Lychees? What lychees do you want me to get?"
"Heart of Eden, Zero Rated Power! Mimicking a Black Hole!"
Without any hesitation, Walter waved his staff, summoned a black hole, and smashed it towards Otto's face.
However, to Walter's astonishment, the black hole passed through Otto's body and crashed into the wall next to him.
Instantly, all the furniture there shattered, and a huge crack appeared in the wall of the train, leaving it in a complete mess.
"Walter, what are you doing?"
Upon seeing this, Pam couldn't sit still any longer. She hurriedly took small, quick steps to the gap in the wall.
"Train! Oh my train!"
Pam was very sad, and her two furry ears drooped down.
However, Walter had no time to pay attention to Pam; he immediately raised his staff and looked back.
Where was "Otto" now?
"Pfft~"
"Hahahaha!"
"Uncle Yang, your reaction just now was hilarious!"
"Hahahaha!"
Walter looked in the direction of the sound and saw a strange girl on the sofa next to him.
He was laughing so hard he was pounding his chest and stamping his feet, tears streaming down his face.
Not Otto?
Walter quickly looked out the window and discovered that there were no dead spots on the previous planet at all.
Furthermore, what was flying outside earlier wasn't a Benares, but an ordinary Doomsday Beast, which had already flown away.
Old Yang, who was furious, finally calmed down.
well,
The lychee-wielding lawyer has finally regained his senses.
Although he felt like he had been tricked, he remained quite calm as long as the person involved wasn't Otto.
Walter looked at Xi Yao with this expression.

"Who exactly are you?"
"I?"
Xi Yao reluctantly got up from the incredibly soft and comfortable sofa, walked to Walter with her hands behind her back, and gave him a sweet smile.
"Hello Uncle Yang, my name is Xi Yao!"
Xiyao?
Is she the Pleasure Envoy that the company is after?
No wonder there was such a strong sense of joy.
What exactly does she want to do on the train?
They wouldn't want to use the Star Train as fireworks, would they?
For a moment, Walter felt a little nervous.
Although he could barely hold his own against a messenger, he could only do so for a short time.
If a real fight breaks out, we will be defeated very quickly.
If Xi Yao had any ideas about the train, he couldn't stop her by himself.
Seemingly sensing his thoughts, Xi Yao took two steps forward and pulled Walter to sit down on the sofa next to her.
"Relax, Uncle Yang!"
"I'm a good kid, I wouldn't do anything bad~"
"I was just trying to make a little joke. Uncle Yang, you're so magnanimous, you won't be angry, will you?"
Xi Yao tilted her head slightly, pouted her little mouth, and used her cuteness to try and get away with it.
……
You call cosplaying Otto a joke?
You scared even the Lychee Lawyer so much he stopped being a Lychee. Is this a joke?

Walter glanced at her speechlessly, but he didn't get angry.
It wasn't because Xi Yao was so cute that he couldn't bring himself to hurt her.
After all, he wasn't someone who judged people by their appearance (except for Otto).
The main reason was that he could sense that the girl in front of him had no ill intentions and was quite friendly.
He could even sense that Xi Yao seemed to have some...
A sense of familiarity?
Yeah, that does sound pretty ridiculous!
When a kind person feels close to someone, their first reaction is to play a prank on them, right?
What?
Is Xi Yao the Envoy of Pleasure?
……
That makes sense.
It's not surprising that a fun-loving person does anything.
Although he could fight against the Commander, Xi Yao could even blow up the company headquarters, so her strength was probably among the top of the Commanders.
Since she meant no harm, it's best not to get into a conflict with her.
Although the joke went a bit too far, it didn't cause any serious consequences.
As long as Otto doesn't actually come back to life, it's not a big problem.
At least Honkai Impact 3rd isn't really chasing him anymore.
Walter silently breathed a sigh of relief, his body relaxing considerably, and reached out to wipe away the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.
Xi Yao responded with: Oh?
really?
What kind of expression would you have when you hear the names Cocolia, Bronya, Seele, and Natasha in Arillo?
I'm really looking forward to it!
Hehe~
