Chapter 1444

"Logically speaking, I have used the body Phantylia is currently controlling to completely seal off any possibility of her leaving."

"How did she manage to separate a part of herself and leave the Astral Express?"

"When you tried to wake her up, did you do something special to her?"

Luo Feng turned his head to look at Screwllum, Dr. Ratio, Miss Ruan Mei, and Herta.

"Isn't that normal? Since we had to try to wake her up, we certainly had to use some special methods."

Herta said as if it were a matter of course.

"Sorry, Lord Luo Feng, we did indeed try to break the seal you placed on Phantylia."

"That's why she had the opportunity to separate a part of herself and escape."

Miss Ruan Mei looked over with an apologetic expression.

"Hey, you didn't need to tell Luo Feng all that."

Herta glared at Miss Ruan Mei with wide eyes.

"It's better to be honest with Lord Luo Feng here."

Miss Ruan Mei said.

"You, you really are becoming less and less like yourself."

Herta sighed, then suddenly looked up at Luo Feng.

"Fine, it was my idea."

"If you have any dissatisfaction, come at me."

Herta said.

"Alright, you said so."

Since Herta was so straightforward, Luo Feng naturally had to be straightforward as well.

He pulled Herta into his arms and began rubbing her doll-like face with both hands.

Although she was a doll, Herta's body still possessed considerable softness.

This could be proven by the way Herta's face kept deforming between Luo Feng's hands.

"Ugh, you bastard, let go... of me."

Herta said loudly.

Even so, Luo Feng had no intention of letting her go.

Instead, he went a step further, found a chair to sit on, and held Herta on his lap while rubbing her face.

Such a scene was found highly amusing even by Miss Ruan Mei, Screwllum, Dr. Ratio, and Xiang Tuopa.

"Lord Luo Feng, are you angry because a part of Phantylia escaped?"

Dr. Ratio asked.

After speaking, he specifically glanced at Herta, who was being rubbed by Luo Feng.

"Not really, that guy managed to hold out against you for so long."

"That's enough to prove how troublesome her self-sealing is."

"Although she separated a part of herself to escape, she was finally woken up."

"This is also good; there are some things I want to know that I can ask her about."

Luo Feng said, looking at Phantylia, who was standing straight in the corner.

"I told you, Luo Feng wouldn't care about this."

"Your worries were completely unnecessary."

Herta said.

"But you should have at least notified me in advance."

Luo Feng clicked his tongue and rubbed Herta's face even harder.

"Ugh! I just... thought... you were about to... go to Penacony,"

"so I planned to... use a... strong medicine."

Herta said.

"By the sound of it, are you planning to leave, Herta?"

Luo Feng let go of Herta's face and asked.

"I've already been away from the Herta Space Station for a while."

"If I don't go back, Asta will be worried."

Herta said.

"I don't think you're the type of person who cares whether Asta is worried or not."

"Forget it, anyway, you've already completed what I wanted you to do."

"You're useless to me now, so go if you want."

After Luo Feng finished speaking, he pushed Herta off his lap.

"You bastard... forget it, arguing with you will only make me angry."

"I obtained quite a bit of data from researching Phantylia this time, I need to go back and consolidate it."

After speaking, Herta's body suddenly went still.

"Has she left already?" Miss Ruan Mei looked at Herta, then looked at Luo Feng:

"Lord Luo Feng, if there's nothing else, I also plan to leave for now."

"No problem." Luo Feng nodded slightly, "Anyway, you have my 'Trailblaze' necklace, just call me when you want to meet, and I'll summon you directly."

"There's such an item? Truly worthy of being an Emanator of Trailblaze! Lord Luo Feng, do you have any more of those necklaces? Can you sell me one?" Xiang Tuopa approached curiously.

"You?" Luo Feng glanced at Xiang Tuopa, "You wouldn't happen to want to be the middleman between the IPC and me, would you?"

"Hehe, nothing can be hidden from you, Lord Luo Feng." Xiang Tuopa wasn't discouraged by being seen through and said with a smile.

"If it's for you personally, I don't mind giving you an item that can be used for teleportation."

"But if you're representing the company... sorry, your company's waters are too deep."

"I don't have any thoughts of getting too close to your company or your Strategic Investment Department for the time being."

"So I can only apologize to you for now."

Luo Feng shook his head and said.

The Ten Stonehearts of the Strategic Investment Department are all talented, and templates of the Ten Stonehearts appear from time to time here with Luo Feng.

Luo Feng doesn't want to get too close to the Strategic Investment Department yet, lest they discover he has used the authority of "Diamond."

"Is that so? That's truly a pity."

Xiang Tuopa sighed, secretly thinking that it really wasn't easy to get Luo Feng on the "Diamond" ship.

"Forget it, let's find another opportunity later."

"Professor Ratio, I plan to leave, are you coming?"

Xiang Tuopa looked at Dr. Ratio and asked.

"Hmm! I have obtained some good data and need to go back and organize it."

Dr. Ratio nodded and looked at Luo Feng:

"Lord Luo Feng, thank you for your hospitality these past few days; please allow me to host you if there is an opportunity in the future."

"Of course." Luo Feng smiled and watched Dr. Ratio and Xiang Tuopa leave, followed by Miss Ruan Mei.

When it was Screwllum's turn, Luo Feng thought of the genius of the Genius Society, seat #79, "Chadwick," who was forced to stay in Penacony but had a certain connection with Screwllum.

"Screwllum, come to Penacony if you have time."

Luo Feng said to Screwllum's back.

"Hmm?" Screwllum turned around in confusion, "Lord Luo Feng, can you tell me the reason?"

"If you want a reason... although I'm not entirely sure, I think there is someone in Penacony you would want to see again."

Luo Feng said.

"Is that so." Screwllum nodded after a moment of thought:

"I understand; once I finish handling the matters at hand, I will go to Penacony."

"Alright, let's meet again then." After Luo Feng finished speaking, he escorted Screwllum and the others to the train door.

"Alright, the matters here are handled, now it's time to handle your matters."

Luo Feng smiled and turned to look at Phantylia, who had followed him to the reception room and was standing where the Abundance potted plant had originally been placed—that was also the Abundance potted plant that Phantylia had occupied.

"You... what are you going to do?"
