My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

Seeing Kuroba Kaito nod, Xia Qing pretended to be drowsy and closed her eyes to locate him. Then, she used the Herrscher of the Void's ability to teleport him back to a nearby city.

"This ability...maybe it can be used for food delivery?"

After acting as a coachman for a while, Xia Qing pondered for a moment and said something. The system then responded in a cooperative tone: "The Herrscher of the Void's ability is used to show you this."

Delivering takeout is so stupid; you might as well just resell weapons.

Upon hearing this, Xia Qing revealed an expression as if she had met a master: "An expert."

After chatting with the system for a few moments, Xia Qing transformed into True Zero and returned to the NESTS base. Looking at Akizuki Airi, who had been waiting for a long time, True Zero coughed up a mouthful of blood and whispered:

"Hmph, I didn't expect all sorts of monsters and demons to come out and cause trouble this time. The most outrageous thing is that the ruler of darkness actually descended as well."

Well, this battle isn't at your level, and you did a pretty good job in this operation.

Congratulations, Miss Dry Earth, on your successful application for cadre position! You have officially joined the organization and are one step closer to the cadre's seat.

Hearing this, Akizuki Airi breathed a sigh of relief.

If she fails to obtain the Serpent's Blood Eye and is deemed unqualified, leading to her being eliminated by the organization, Akizuki Airi has no idea how to survive in that situation.

The organization's strength far exceeded his expectations, and it seemed that the organization had secretly taken control of several countries, becoming the true ruler of the Americas.

With a few words, Xia Qing easily resolved the matter with NESTS. After finding an excuse to leave NESTS, she began to think about how to arrange the next step of the plan.

Speaking of which... the arrangement to bring the Honkai Beasts here can now be carried out.

Thinking of this, Xia Qing silently rubbed her temples. It seemed that the Honkai Beasts had come up with something incredible. The most outrageous thing was that it seemed to be based on her and Hei hope.

If either Black Sheep or himself wished, he could mentally connect with that "holy Black Sheep Knight" for a short period of time.

Xia Qing didn't actually fully understand the technology used by the Holy Black Knight; it was still too profound for him.

The reason why those Honkai Beasts were able to come up with such outrageous technology was largely due to the existence of a bunch of bug-level genius Honkai Beasts.

Chapter 416: Penniless Wendy chooses to debut as a VTuber~

MIE, Otto, Einstein, Tesla, Planck...

These historically significant figures all have a corresponding role on the Honkai Beasts' side, and Xia Qing was actually a little unsure about the Honkai consciousness's attitude.

Honkai is essentially a vetting mechanism; it puts civilizations to the test, and those who fail the test will ultimately face destruction.

However, Xia Qing didn't quite understand why the Honkai Consciousness was so focused on developing Honkai Beast technology, since she had shown that technology to Yog when she returned to the world after the portal.

According to Yog, technology is entirely natural and without external guidance. Her conjecture at the time made the conclusion about how technology came about very clear.

Honkai consciousness mostly enhances the intelligence of Honkai Beast geniuses at certain times, allowing them to actively research and develop technologies. However, the only puzzling thing is why Honkai consciousness does this.

Xia Qing, who was pondering when to bring the Honkai Beasts over, shook her head and prepared to return to the castle first. Meanwhile, in an apartment, a girl was intently playing the game in front of her.

"Hey hey hey hey, it's coming, it's coming, this is the place, right? The boss that's really difficult."

The girl looked excited as she watched the images on the screen. Meanwhile, at the police station on the other side, the Metropolitan Police Department officers fell silent as they looked at the information presented by the people who had disembarked from the cruise ship.

"You guys...you might all be hallucinating."

After thinking for a long time, the police came up with a completely unreasonable explanation.

The police officer still doesn't understand why so many people are experiencing that hallucination at the same time. However, he doesn't know much about biology, so he'll have to ask a professional later.

But no matter what, how could a superpower battle possibly happen? If that were to actually happen, I'd eat the keyboard in front of me on the spot.

This world is still quite scientific, yet there are all sorts of strange superpowers. It seems their hallucinations are quite severe.

"Hallucinations are certainly possible, after all, what happened back then was really outrageous."

At this moment, Inspector Nakamori's voice rang out. He was also one of the victims of the cruise ship world, and also the future father-in-law of Phantom Thief Kid.

"I can't figure it out, no matter how I think about it, I just can't understand it. How could the real identity of Phantom Thief Kid be Shinichi Kudo?"

Is it really okay for that high school detective to solve cases during the day and steal at night? If that's true, he'll eventually die of overwork.

Inspector Nakamori was absolutely certain that Inspector Megure's thoughts were not far removed from his own:

"Indeed, I know Kudo better than anyone. No matter how you look at it, he could never become Moriarty of the Heisei era."

Inspector Megure has not yet suspected that Shinichi Kudo has truly fallen from grace; in his mind, Shinichi Kudo is a champion of procedural justice.

Criminal mastermind?

This profession doesn't seem like a title that Shinichi Kudo should have at all.

“Inspector, we couldn’t find information on most of the names you mentioned, but we did find one that might be related.”

Just then, an officer from the intelligence division suddenly rushed in. Upon hearing this, Inspector Nakamori's eyes lit up, and without saying a word, he asked, "Whose person did you find?"

"Wendy, the emperor you mentioned who ruled over the chaos, Wendy!"

The intelligence officer said this, and at that moment, Kaito Kuroba, who had infiltrated the police station, frowned.

"You just... mentioned that name, right?"

After glancing at the policeman who had given the information, Kaito Kuroba, disguised as another policeman, said this.

"Hey, Matsushita, do you know anything about this?"

The intelligence officer glanced at Kaito Kuroba, who was disguised as a policeman, and said this. Kaito Kuroba nodded and replied, "I vaguely remember."

"That Wendy you guys are talking about... is she really that good?"

Kaito Kuroba couldn't be sure yet; it might just be a coincidence of names. However, the domineering emperor who controlled the Honkai was too powerful, which made him think of the hatred that his nominal "subordinate" had rekindled.

"It's not a matter of how powerful she is. She can stand in mid-air and defeat Gatanothor's giant serpent in one move. Unfortunately, there were too many dazzling moves before, so I didn't get a clear look at her."

The police officer from the intelligence department slowly began to explain, and Kaito Kuroba nodded to indicate that he roughly understood.

"The emperor who controls the collapse? I think I know who you're talking about."

These words successfully attracted everyone's attention, and Kaito Kuroba revealed all the information he knew about Wendy without any hesitation.

In his view, spreading information could help Wakanda to some extent, and the more people know about Wendy's dictatorship, the deeper Wendy's concerns will likely become.

"One of the Dream Archons, Regent of Wakanda, usurper, dictatorial monarch, these are Wendy's other accounts."

After talking for quite a while with his chuunibyou-ish words, Kuroba Kaito suddenly felt that this method seemed kind of cool. Upon hearing Kuroba Kaito's words, another member of the intelligence department subconsciously laughed out loud.

"How could such a person possibly exist? Also, the evil god Gatanothor doesn't exist either."

The student they were talking about was just an ordinary girl; the woman who was considered an evil god had nothing abnormal about her, she was just an ordinary person.

Kaito Kuroba didn't say much in response to the policeman's words. He glanced at the officer from the intelligence department, thought for a moment, and then said, "Could you show me Wendy's information first?"

Kaito Kuroba would not have infiltrated unprepared; he had already planned out many escape routes in his mind.

"Ah, no, no problem."

Seemingly shocked by the sudden burst of chuunibyou (delusional) behavior from his former office colleague, the police officer in charge of intelligence instinctively handed the information in his hand to Kaito Kuroba.

After quickly flipping through the intelligence in his hand, Kaito Kuroba's expression suddenly became quite different.

"This information... is it fake?"

Looking at the intelligence report in his hand, Kaito Kuroba had an expression that said, "I don't believe you. Don't lie to me."

How could the Wakanda regent be such a person behind the scenes?

At this point, most of the important information about Wendy on the internet had already been recorded in the file, among which the profession puzzled Kaito Kuroba the most.

Oh, so you, the Regent of Wakanda, actually went and became a VTuber behind the scenes?

Could it be that... all the regents here enjoy this kind of low-key experience of life?

That's right, Wendy's profession is listed as VTuber, which is the so-called virtual streamer.

Chapter 417: Open the door, check the water meter!

"Charge! Wendy, charge! This is definitely going to be a sure thing!"

In a rented room, Wendy, who has obtained an identity through hacking skills, is intently embarking on a massacre.

With the Valkyrie's dynamic vision and reaction speed, dealing with ordinary people in this type of competitive game can only be described as a massacre.

"Wendy... are you the regent of Wakanda?"

Just then, a message in the live chat caught Wendy's attention. Upon seeing the message, Wendy casually replied, "I'm not some regent. You must have misremembered."

To reiterate my character setup: I, Wendy, was formerly the Valkyrie of Destiny, and am now the Herrscher of the Wind who betrayed the Honkai, and the Dream Ambassador stationed in the Honkai.

Wendy, who casually replied, was unaware that her words and actions had successfully stirred up trouble. Inside the police station, Inspector Megure looked at Wendy's reply with a thoughtful expression.

"The psychological suggestion from the group before that Wendy is definitely a key person."

In that inexplicable dream, Wendy seemed to also be described as having the two identities she had just mentioned.

"I'm a bit bewildered," Inspector Megure said. "I still don't understand how the criminal managed to put all the passengers on the St. Diana into the same dream."

"Virtual reality technology? No... that technology shouldn't be able to achieve that level right now."

Inspector Megure suddenly thought of a possibility: virtual reality technology is still a long way off. No matter how advanced technology becomes, it can't suddenly become virtual reality technology.

"Sindora Corporation seems to be developing that technology, but it's estimated that it will be a long time before it's completed."

A police officer near Inspector Megure thought for a moment and said something, while Inspector Megure took a deep breath and mustered his strength:

"Everyone, we can figure out what methods the other party used on the way. Let's first investigate whether that girl named Wendy has any relevant clues."

Seeing Inspector Megure's renewed enthusiasm, the officers of the Metropolitan Police Department also perked up.

Once the masses have a leader, their efficiency will improve to a great extent by following the leader's thinking. Under Inspector Megure's leadership, the Metropolitan Police Department officers began to work.

The consequences of the Saint Diana cruise ship incident were far too severe. Several different organizations engaged in a fierce battle on deck, and the bodies of organization members being transported from the deck are still being verified for identification.

The deck shootout was just the trigger; the real problem is the collective hypnotic psychological suggestion. If we don't understand the principles and can't prevent the other side from using this tactic in public...

"NESTS..."

As he murmured the name of the organization, Inspector Megure felt a headache coming on.

However, I won't need to worry about this kind of thing for a while. For this type of matter, I just need to gather some information and then hand it over to the police.

……

"Dong dong dong."
