Chapter 161: Change fate! Bai Ge, who has surpassed Aponia! (Please auto-subscribe)

~6 min read 1,172 words

"Then we shall take our leave first. By the way, Mr. Bai Ge, if you have time in the future, please spend more time with our Raven. That girl hasn't been in a good mood lately; it's said that a certain partner of hers hasn't contacted her for over two months."

Gray Serpent said in a teasing tone.

Although he had confirmed that both sides were not on the same path, he truly hoped to maintain a friendly relationship with Bai Ge.

After all, Gray Serpent knew very well that if it wasn't necessary, one must never make an enemy of a powerhouse with sufficient strength. Even if Bai Ge would not join World Serpent, it would still be a gain if they could become friendly allies.

Unlike a certain Cocolia, Gray Serpent was very good at handling people... although this guy couldn't really be counted as a person.

In short, anyway, kindness didn't cost anything.

Moreover, although every Gray Serpent would be loyal to the mission, there were also many individuals among them who were pranksters.

Just like this one right now.

He actually quite wanted to~ play matchmaker for Bai Ge and Raven.

After all, from a certain perspective, Gray Serpent could also be considered to have the role of Raven's old father. Thinking about it this way, it was only natural for him to consider his daughter's lifelong event, right? (As if!)

"Ah, this... *cough cough*, when I have time, I will talk to Natasha. Hmm, this check should be enough to make her anger subside by a third. When the time comes, I'll accompany her on a few missions."

Bai Ge also just realized that he had indeed neglected Raven recently, busy as he was dallying with his own girls and dealing with those organizations eyeing the Hearth House, and ended up forgetting about her.

However, a mere little island-bombing Raven was still easy to coax. As long as he accompanied her on a few missions, her anger would subside. At worst, he would just give her an extra ten percent of the reward then.

"Hehe, then I shall take my leave first. Please rest assured, I guarantee I will not disturb your peaceful life again."

"Hmph, I don't dislike your words, but that mother fox over there can forget it. I don't guarantee that I won't chop her in half with one blade the next time I see her."

"............"

Bai Ge glared at Cocolia, and the latter immediately shivered all over; she was clearly truly afraid.

The way this woman left in the end was as wretched as a mother fox that had been skinned.

(With this, it should be fine. The final dangers for Bronya and Seele have also been eliminated. With me here, this mother fox doesn't dare to harbor any bad intentions. The X-10 experiment and such won't happen to the two of them anymore, right?)

Bai Ge thought this and let out a sigh of relief.

Finally, before the time-travel duration ended, he had solved the last troublesome matter. With this, Bronya and Seele should embark on a different future.

Just as Bai Ge felt relieved like this.

A certain anomaly and dissonance suddenly descended.

……………………

First, the organizations targeting Seele's Stigmata, which should have been getting fewer and fewer, suddenly increased several times over in the past few days.

But these were not problems. No matter how many small fries came, Bai Ge could still easily handle them all.

Five days passed after that.

The Honkai beasts around the Hearth House, which should have been completely cleared out by Bai Ge, suddenly gave birth to a high-tier Honkai beast, Parvati! And Parvati even attacked Bronya, who happened to be taking a walk nearby at the time.

Fortunately, Bai Ge rushed over in time and chopped that ice pig into thousands of pieces of flesh, but Bronya was accidentally eroded by Honkai Energy, showing signs of Honkai Sickness.

But this was still not a problem.

Bai Ge's Holy Blood, which could completely erase Honkai Energy, plus the adjustments, modifications, and improvements made to the Holy Blood by the Herrscher of Death.

In the end, the combination of the two gave birth to a Honkai Energy serum comparable to the "God-Slaying Spear" meticulously developed by Otto. Bronya's Honkai Sickness was completely cured that very day.

But when another five days passed after this incident.

Seele, who went out to buy groceries, also encountered an accident.

That road between the Hearth House and the grocery market, which she had walked over a hundred times, this time Seele somehow got lost while walking, and... she actually ended up getting lost all the way to the research institute under Cocolia.

Fortunately, Bai Ge noticed that Seele had spent too much time, went to look for her, found her, and brought her back.

However...

Bai Ge: "Something's wrong. This period of time is really wrong. It's one hundred percent wrong out of ten."

……………………

The night was deep.

The girls of the Hearth House were all asleep.

Bai Ge sat alone in front of the fireplace in the hall, staring straight at the flames in the fireplace, his pupils as deep as an ancient well.

The corpses of several intruders lay crookedly on the ground.

The red blood of these assassins stained the floor, as if the floor of the Hearth House had been paved with a layer of blood-rose petals.

"............"

The 'accidents' recently were becoming more and more frequent.

For safety, Bai Ge now kept watch in the hall every night. Any movement could not escape his perception.

Although to be honest, it was both tiring and troublesome, only in this way could he ensure that he wouldn't let any intruders slip through.

At the same time, Bai Ge was also deep in thought and recollection.

What exactly was going on with the current situation?

Why were these abnormal situations, which were not in the original plot, happening one after another?

Bai Ge thought about it and only felt a bit hair-raising.

It was as if an invisible enemy was sitting in front of him, and between the two of them was a huge chessboard. Bronya, Seele, Cocolia, Gray Serpent, Raven, etc., all the people had turned into chess pieces and were on the chessboard.

And this invisible enemy was trying to eat his pieces, while Bai Ge was constantly protecting his own pieces.

The two of them were currently evenly matched, neither could do anything to the other, but... the remaining time he had was not much.

Who is it?

Who exactly is it?

Bai Ge's mind was constantly thinking.

Regardless, in this strange and dissonant situation, there was only one thing he could be certain of, and that was that there was truly an enemy he didn't know about who was trying to harm his important people!

"System, are you there?"

【Host, I am always here.】

"Tell me, who is my enemy."

Since he couldn't think of it, he would just ask directly.
