【Since the day the "Imaginary Collapse Pulse" was launched, I haven't dared to cast a glance at the mirror. I'm afraid of seeing a demon, seeing a murderer who took away the lives and homes of countless people.】

"This voice?"

The Knave raised her head and looked curiously at the sky from which the sound came.

"It's just the sound of Dr. Chadwick's heart-image; it's unconscious and random. So don't worry too much about it."

Luo Feng explained.

【That day was the last time I saw Dudley; perhaps as he said, pawns don't deserve to have names.】

"It seems Dr. Chadwick has been very regretful since that day."

The Knave muttered to herself, looking at her own hands.

Although she had woken up from Luo Feng's Word Spirit, thinking of the moment she still accidentally triggered the destruction button, The Knave's heart couldn't stop palpitating.

If a passerby like her was like this, the pressure Chadwick endured was probably even stronger.

"Could it be that the reason he became like this is because of self-exile?"

The Knave said softly.

【Lisa: Self-exile? There is indeed such a possibility; he still has some conscience after all.】

【Dottore: Pity, if he didn't have that tiny bit of conscience, he would probably have become an invincible existence.】

【Dainsleif: Chadwick's current situation can be considered the "fruit" he deserves; I hope it's not just him who gets the "fruit,"

but also Dudley and the company armed personnel who participated in the "Imaginary Collapse Pulse" at the time who can get their "fruit."】

【Paimon: Can Dudley and those people really be punished? Didn't Chadwick's heart-voice say they were just pawns?】

【Kaeya: Since they are pawns, they are naturally things that can be discarded at will. Perhaps the company will secretly deal with them to cover up the fact that it was their own people who launched the "Imaginary Collapse Pulse."】

【Dehya: If that's the case, then that would be truly great. Speaking of which, the company is really not a simple, kind organization; to think they are people who believe in the Aeon of Preservation, launching an "Imaginary Collapse Pulse" or something, it's not Preservation at all!】

【Candace: I imagine this is why Lord Luo Feng didn't intend to have too much contact with the Interastral Peace Corporation; on the contrary, the Xianzhou Alliance is more favored by Lord Luo Feng.】

"Lord Luo Feng, do the people of the Interastral Peace Corporation currently possess the 'Imaginary Collapse Pulse'?"

Raiden Ei suddenly spoke up and asked Luo Feng.

"Truly rare, I thought you didn't intend to speak the whole way, Lady Ei."

Luo Feng looked back at Raiden Ei and smiled.

"Since the people of the Interastral Peace Corporation could launch an 'Imaginary Collapse Pulse' once, they could launch it a second time."

Raiden Ei had deep worry hidden in her eyes.

Facing a weapon of this level, no one could be indifferent.

After all, no one knows if the "Imaginary Collapse Pulse" will sweep across the world they are in.

At least, Raiden Ei doesn't want the Inazuma she wants to protect to be stained by the light of the "Imaginary Collapse Pulse" one day.

"Such a weapon should indeed not fall into the hands of people who will launch it at will."

The Knave nodded in agreement and looked curiously at Dr. Ratio, who was silent on the side.

After all, this one is, to some extent, an employee of the Interastral Peace Corporation.

And he has also developed a star-level weapon capable of destroying a star with one shot.

If he handed the weapon he developed to the company...

Thinking of this, The Knave inexplicably felt a bit more wary of Dr. Ratio.

As if seeing through The Knave's thoughts, Dr. Ratio said:

"My relationship with the company is not as deep as you imagine."

"My research results are not as important in the eyes of the company as you imagine."

"I am, after all, a mediocre person, unable to compare with geniuses."

"As for the 'Imaginary Collapse Pulse,' at least the company claims on the surface that they don't possess it."

"And the launch history of the 'Imaginary Collapse Pulse' is only the one time you saw before."

After a pause, Dr. Ratio continued:

"However, it is hard for me to imagine that they would be willing to give up the possibility of possessing the 'Imaginary Collapse Pulse.'"

The Knave heard Dr. Ratio's honest words and reduced her wariness of him a little.

Also, Dr. Ratio is, after all, someone Luo Feng allowed to board the train and conduct relevant research.

Unless Luo Feng is the kind of person who doesn't care much about evil people, otherwise Dr. Ratio should have been hard to board the train and join the research.

【I disbanded the team and abandoned the original laboratory.】

"Again?"

The Knave looked up at the sky and continued to follow Luo Feng toward the door that seemed to have kept a fixed distance from them.

【I tried to take away some information, not wanting it to fall into the hands of those with ulterior motives.】

【I learned from others that the high-level officials of the technical department who ordered the use of the "Imaginary Collapse Pulse" were reviewed by the Interastral Corporation and later lost contact.】

"So Chadwick took away the research data."

Raiden Ei breathed a sigh of relief.

"And Dudley and the others should have been punished too, right?"

The Knave muttered, and the anger in her heart because she was repeatedly killed by Dudley and the others seemed to have been reduced a bit.

【But I know very well that the company will never give up. My research is too precious, so even if they condemn it on the surface, they will never give up the technology related to the "Imaginary Collapse Pulse."】

【In order to master the knowledge related to the "Imaginary Collapse Pulse," they need me! In order not to let the relevant knowledge fall into the hands of other factions in the universe, they will chase me to the ends of the earth.】

【So... I started to flee... I don't want anyone to use the "Imaginary Collapse Pulse" to hurt innocent lives.】

【But the Interastral Peace Corporation is too powerful; even if I am a genius in the mouths of others, I ultimately have no way to compete with them and avoid their investigation.】

【When I needed help the most, I thought of a name. Although we only met once, he could see through my hypocrisy and excuses at a glance.】

"So, Chadwick found you later, Mr. Screwllum?"

The Knave listened to Chadwick's heart-image voice and looked curiously at Screwllum beside her.

"Hmm." Screwllum nodded, looking at the phantom of his past appearing on the road ahead: "It's really been a long time, Chadwick."
