Phi-Fic Chapter 370 Taking Cecilia to find Himeko
Chapter 370 Taking Cecilia to find Himeko
The arrival of Li Muyang, the mysterious and elusive boss, with a beautiful woman radiating maternal warmth at the company headquarters this day sparked much discussion among the employees. After all, Li Muyang had recently conducted a major purge of the company and had also casually brought in Himeko Murata.
Although everyone in the company is now used to Himeko Murata's presence, including many Honkai Impact 3rd players, their appearance was quite shocking! Even though Himeko herself didn't explicitly admit it, the attitude of a certain Liu Dawei was enough to say everything! Enough to spark all sorts of wild speculation among the employees!
So, people were naturally very curious about who Li Muyang was, as he had brought people with him again today!
"To be honest, he looks a bit familiar."
"Hearing your words is like hearing a lecture!"
"This aura... the ambition of a prime minister! I actually have the bearing of a hero!"
"...I can't even be bothered to talk to you about your thoughts!"
"Aren't you?"
"Ahem! Don't expose how tough life is!"
With a smile on his lips, Li Muyang teased the stunningly beautiful married woman beside him, "Did you hear that? Quite a few people here are envious and jealous of your Siegfried."
"So, you, the big boss... are you too?" Cecilia, radiating a dazzling maternal glow, smiled gently, lightly brushing a strand of hair behind her ear as she teased him, completely unfazed by Li Muyang's advances, and even launching a counterattack! She stunned everyone!
Just look at the employees' reactions!
Old Li's lips twitched. Sure enough, his boastful attitude was far inferior to that of a true veteran! He almost actually considered betraying Siegfried... oops! The thoughts of an old man!
The images of Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er flashed through Li Muyang's mind, and he instantly felt his Dao heart as steady as Mount Tai. Yes! In fact, he was a staunch supporter of the three great chefs! He had absolutely no improper thoughts about his mother-in-law and father-in-law!
"Ahem! Let's go find Teacher Himeko!" Li Muyang said seriously, changing the subject.
Cecilia chuckled and nodded, saying nothing more.
Cecilia was initially bewildered when Li Muyang suddenly resurrected her and her group. She even thought that Li Muyang was a member of a corrupted consciousness... a conspiracy!
It was only after explanation and proof that it was learned that Li Muyang was actually from another world, and that he had just happened to meet Rakumura Himeko. Moreover, this world even had a game based on their worldview! Therefore, Li Muyang had a deep obsession with this group of people.
To the best of his ability, Li Muyang retrieved their souls from the river of time and space, then created new bodies and resurrected them.
Not for any other reason than so that they can go back and see how things ended in the other world! And see the people they want to see! To have a truly happy ending!
Li Muyang spoke lightly, but the resurrected members of the Honkai Impact 3rd crew were utterly shocked! After all... who would have thought that someone would go to such lengths to resurrect a group of completely unrelated people? As for Li Muyang's reasons, they were clearly not very convincing!
Therefore, Cecilia and the others are still in a wait-and-see state. Of course, they are very grateful to Li Muyang for reviving them, but they are still a little wary of Li's motives.
The heart of defense is indispensable!
This was within Li Muyang's expectations. None of these big shots were fools! How could they possibly believe just one person's opinion? They would at least talk to someone they knew!
The main reason is that everyone in Honkai Impact 3rd feels they can't see through Li Muyang. Li Muyang also has the aura of the Core of Truth. Even though the Core of Truth has completely merged with Li Muyang, the aura of the Herrscher is hard to change. This is the main reason why everyone in Honkai Impact 3rd is on guard.
In particular, one of the resurrected ancestors stated that, as far as he knew, the core of truth should still be in the hands of a young girl! Although his driver's license seemed to have been revoked... he still ended up fighting with this young girl and her two teammates! In the end, the three of them went to negotiate with the Honkai.
Ah yes! Faced with the probing gazes of the Thirteen Heroes, Li Muyang simply nodded honestly, indicating that Ancestor Kevin was right!
So, apart from Cecilia being brought by Li Muyang to find Himeko-sensei, the remaining Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire are all in the small world, engrossed in catching up on anime. Hmm, the Thirteen Heroes are playing the Honkai Impact 3rd mobile game, truly a reversal of the Heavenly Gang!
I almost forgot, there's also Her Majesty, Sirin!
Cecilia was indeed extremely grateful to Li Muyang for reviving Sirin!
Incidentally, Li Muyang originally wanted to rescue the bishop as well, but then he thought that rescuing him would definitely mean rescuing Karen, but rescuing him... would seem to negate everything he had done, and besides... the bishop really owes too much debt, if he really came back to life... cough cough!
Li Muyang felt he couldn't explain things to Lao Yang.
The dead Otto is the best Otto!
Therefore, Miss Karen, I have to apologize.
Of course, Li Muyang didn't do nothing. When Bishop Otto was about to be erased by the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, he played a little trick, making Bishop Otto have a dream, a dream without regrets, and giving him the opportunity... perhaps another opportunity in the future, to return with Karen.
However, before that, Li Muyang had to ask Lao Yang for his opinion and attitude.
It's definitely not because the Imaginary Tree has too much to say! The biggest debt the Bishop owes lies with the Imaginary Tree! It's too difficult for Li Muyang to win over Bishop Otto right now.
Getting back to the main point, Li Muyang and Cecilia knocked on the door of Professor Himeko's office.
"Oh? Dear Mr. Li, you're alright... WC! Cecilia!" Ms. Himeko, who was busy with her work, looked up and greeted Li Muyang with a smile. Before she could finish speaking, her attention was drawn to Cecilia, who was following behind Li Muyang!
She knew Li Muyang had extracted a lot of souls, but Teacher Ji Zi didn't expect to see people so soon! And they were even acquaintances! She immediately cursed.
They all learned bad things from Li Muyang!
"Himeko, it's been a long time!" Cecilia greeted her happily. The two were both Valkyries of Schicksal and had participated in missions together before, so they naturally knew each other.
Not to mention, Cecilia had already learned a lot about Himeko, Kiana, and True Qi Durandal from Li Muyang.
Therefore, Cecilia is very grateful to Himeko-sensei! After all, she died too young, never met Kiana, and didn't even have the chance to take good care of her own daughter. As for Siegfried... that unreliable father, plus Otto causing trouble, those who know, know.
After delivering the person, Li Muyang didn't disturb them. He voluntarily left the office, leaving the two space to talk, and then went to another office to find Miyano Akemi.
Himeko and Cecilia quickly became acquainted upon meeting. The details of the events that Li Muyang told him were certainly not as detailed or clear as what Himeko had told him. Li Muyang only knew the general outline, while Himeko was practically a firsthand witness.
Especially regarding Sirin and Kiana.
"I'm sorry..." Cecilia apologized awkwardly and bitterly, for Sirin almost causing Himeko's death.
Originally, Sirin was also going to come and see Teacher Himeko, but Her Majesty was too embarrassed to face Himeko, so Cecilia was sent first to test Himeko's attitude towards Sirin.
Originally, Xilin was not on Li Muyang's list of people to rescue, because Li Muyang knew Ji Zi first, and considering her situation, he would naturally have less goodwill towards Xilin, at least considering Teacher Ji Zi's attitude.
The reason why Sirin was ultimately rescued was because the Queen... was just a tsundere, a person who said one thing but did another, and wasn't a bad person at heart. Besides, there was Cecilia, so even if she was resurrected, someone could keep her in check.
However, when reviving Sirin, Li Muyang still played a little trick, making Sirin's revived body only the state of a six or seven-year-old. From now on, Her Majesty the Queen will have to call Kiana and Durandal "older sister"!
As compensation, Li Muyang also retrieved Beibeilong.
Regarding Sirin's resurrection by Li Muyang, Teacher Himeko was quite philosophical about it: "Oh, it's alright! I've heard a bit about Sirin's situation. If anyone's to blame, it's Otto! If he hadn't caused all this trouble, none of this would have happened!"
Well, Your Excellency, you can't get rid of this mess!
The main reason Himeko-sensei could forgive Sirin was because Sirin's tragic experiences were inextricably linked to Bishop Otto! Therefore, she was still willing to accept the Queen when she wasn't insane! Not to mention Cecilia had also spoken up!
There's another thing, and that's that Her Majesty... was almost killed by Himeko-sensei! In that great battle, it was only because Himeko-sensei's body couldn't take it anymore, and because she was thinking of Kiana, that she didn't deliver the final blow; otherwise, it would have been a mutual destruction!
Seeing that Himeko-sensei had no objection to Sirin's revival, Cecilia breathed a sigh of relief. This way, she wouldn't be stuck in the middle! Afterwards, she still needed to make Sirin apologize to Himeko properly and make amends!
With Cecilia's emotional intelligence, she naturally understood that Himeko's opinion was very important to Li Muyang. If Himeko still couldn't forget Sirin, it would definitely affect Li Muyang's attitude towards Sirin.
The unusual physical characteristics of Sirin and the others reveal that while the others were resurrected in their final, dying state, Sirin was transformed into a child.
This kind of differential treatment... it can't be because there aren't enough resurrection materials, right?
Then it can only be that Li Muyang is "taking special care" of Xilin because of the fact that she caused the death of Teacher Jizi!
On the other hand, Himeko may not care, but Sirin cannot pretend it didn't happen, and Cecilia will not allow Sirin to be a fool. Some things must be taken responsibility for! Reasons are not excuses to shirk responsibility.
