"Cocolia, I'm sorry to bother you at this time, but I heard that Schicksal and your pilot had a lively chase in front of the gate of Schicksal headquarters..."
On the other side of the communication signal, his boss Shamash and his colleague Jackal were watching on the left and right.
Gray Serpent carefully considered his words and asked politely.
"Excuse me, did you take anything away from Schicksal headquarters?"
"Well, it's nothing, just a little thing not worth mentioning."
Cocolia drank boiled water and smiled perfunctorily.
The degree of cooperation with allies represents the results of Gray Serpent's work.
Therefore, under the gaze of Shamash and the scrutiny of Jackal, Gray Serpent felt a kind of workplace pressure.
He coughed dryly, took out the calm aura of the semi-mechanical life form, and said calmly.
"It's the Gem of Serenity."
It was actually very easy to guess. The item that Cocolia was looking for was the item that could make Otto go to war. With these two conditions, the only thing that Gray Serpent could think of was the Gem of Serenity stored in the headquarters of Schicksal.
In response to this, Cocolia rolled her eyes disdainfully.
"None of your business."
"Ahem! Mom, there are children around, watch your language."
Sin put her fist to her mouth, with a straight face, and reminded her.
As the eldest daughter in the family, in addition to the food, clothing, housing, and transportation of her younger sisters, their etiquette and family education environment were also Sin's responsibility.
Although, sometimes the most elegant and easy-going person was her, the eldest sister herself.
Cocolia glared at the unsympathetic housekeeper, stood up, took the communicator to the corner, and sneered without embarrassment:
"Let's be open, I know you can guess what I took, but I advise you not to fight with me. I know there is something fishy about the X-10 experiment, but as far as the result is concerned, it does bring the hope I need. For this reason, I sincerely treat you as an ally, and I have never owed you anything I should give you. But this time..."
"I understand. Jackal has analyzed the experimental data you shared with us last time. If you use a Herrscher core as a test product, maybe you can really get a perfect solution to the Honkai disease. I fully understand your determination, but the question is, can you stop Otto?"
Gray Serpent tried to use a tone of discussion with a friend and raised the most critical question.
If Otto is serious, the East Shenzou Sea Base will have no chance of resistance no matter how you look at it.
"Cocolia, if the target is an item of the level of the Gem of Serenity, your leader can't deter Ott. Your Ninti and the Iron Pilots are even less capable. You need help."
"The reward is to give you the gem, and then I will consider it all for nothing, right?"
"Don't get excited, we are allies, and everything can be discussed. Of course, I won't rob your gem. What I mean is that we can cooperate to resist Schicksal, and then, depending on the degree of each other's contribution, we can distribute the right to use the gem. The Herrscher gem is not a fragile thing, it can withstand the use of both sides."
Gray Serpent was calm and composed, showing his confidence and assurance.
As long as Lord Shamash draws her sword, everything will be fine.
Gray Serpent knew with his mask that Cocolia must have put in a lot of effort in the early stage to plant the nail in the headquarters of Schicksal and forcibly take away the Gem of Serenity. On his side, it was only Lord Shamash went out to deter Otto, and the rest was not needed. It was completely free action.
This incident for the World Serpent was pure profit.
Cocolia looked hesitant. After a while, she spoke.
"Mount Taixu owes me a big favor for Ji Lin and Book of Fuxi."
"Cocolia, do you really expect Mount Taixu to help you?"
"Mount Taixu is unreliable for you?"
"Of course it's unreliable! They have cooperated with Otto earlier and longer. Now you are counting on favors to let them confront Otto. Don't hurt yourself."
Gray Serpent persuaded.
Cocolia became more and more hesitant.
"Mount Taixu is unreliable, who can I rely on? You?"
"Yes, me, us!"
"The gem should be used by me first. I will only use them for experiments. After the experiments, I can give them to you directly. This is my condition."
"No problem!"
Gray Serpent responded firmly.
Again, for the World Serpent, this is pure profit. This deal must be won!
So whatever Cocolia says now is what it is.
As for the final ownership of the gem, you will know when you look at Lord Shamash's sword. Gray Serpent was full of confidence.
Cocolia also looked relieved, with a smile, raising the boiled water in her hand.
"Gray Serpent, my heart is open when I talk to you, do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because our hearts are clean, there is no intrigue, we are all sincere."
"Yes, yes, we are all sincere!"
Gray Serpent raised the red wine glass and toasted with Cocolia in the air.
After the communication ended, the two of them changed their faces.
Gray Serpent: "Humph! Vixen!"
Cocolia: "Bah! That Serpent!"
...
Gray Serpent explained to his superiors and colleagues.
"This vixen has long calculated that we also want the Herrscher Gem, and will definitely come to help her share the firepower. So she must have been prepared to let us take the lead, while consuming the Schicksal and our power, she will reap the benefits in the back. Fortunately, we have Lord Shamash, whose absolute strength will make all her calculations fail. She will definitely hand over the gem obediently in the end."
Gray Serpent sneered, mocking Cocolia's ignorance.
He didn't notice the subtle look his superiors and colleagues gave him.
...
Cocolia picked up the communicator from North America and explained to the three elders of Anti-Entropy who had been listening:
"I don't need the gem, I just want Dr. Maki. He has developed a serum that can expel all the Honkai energy from the human body. It will be the antidote to all Honkai symptoms and contains infinite possibilities to eliminate Honkai. Dr. Maki's research will change this era!"
"I roughly figured it out. So your plan is to throw the Herrscher Gem to the World Serpent and let the World Serpent fight with Schicksal? You are really... smart."
Einstein considered the relationship between her colleagues and did not say any impolite adjectives.
Then Tesla slapped her thigh and made a mouth for Einstein:
"Hahaha! So that's what happened! Cocolia, you are so insidious and despicable! Well done! Let all these bad guys with conspiracies and calculations have their brains beaten out!"
"..." x 3
The other three were speechless, then all ignored Tesla's madness.
Welt pushed his glasses on the bridge of her nose and frowned.
"It's a good idea, but you are still stroking the tiger's whiskers. You are stroking Otto and the World Serpent at the same time. This is very dangerous."
"So, I need the support of the Lord."
"Alas! I was really led by the nose by you this time. But I am really interested in Dr. Maki's research you mentioned. I will go there as soon as possible. You stabilize the situation first and don't act rashly. Both sides are big troubles that are not easy to mess with."
"Then it's settled. I'll be waiting for you."
Cocolia said with a faint smile and cut off the communication.
After that, the business-like smile disappeared instantly. Cocolia rubbed her cheeks, which were a little stiff, and complained expressionlessly.
"I'm always smiling at them, and I'm not a KFC cashier. I'm so annoyed!"
"So, Mom is calculating against people again, right? Alas, every day, you are either fooling people or calculating against people. You are not good for our family education! Come, eat a fruit."
Sin brought the fruit plate after dinner, picked up a piece of sweet and juicy apple, and handed it to Cocolia's mouth.
While chewing, Cocolia's bulging cheeks were white and delicate, and she rolled her eyes.
"Don't talk about me. It's obviously your temper that is most likely to teach them bad things!"
"What's wrong with my temper? The outside world is dangerous. If you're not terrifying, you will be bullied by others!"
Sin raised her head proudly, righteous and confident, without any guilt.
In her childhood, the world gave her endless malice, so this kind of thorny character is understandable. Especially recently, as she has become more and more aware of her role as the eldest sister, she has also changed a lot. At least she is not so twisted and will not pick up a knife to chop people if she is not happy.
In Cocolia's opinion, Sin's performance is enough.
It is better to say that her baby daughter is so cute no matter how you look at her.
Where are the shortcomings that need to be corrected? Impossible, it does not exist!
"Hehe, it seems that I haven't hugged you for an hour and thirty-five minutes, my sweetheart, come and let mommy kiss you~~"
"Wow! What are you doing! Don't hug me suddenly, it's disgusting!"
Sin held the fruit plate high with both hands to prevent being knocked down, and thus lost the ability to refuse. Cocolia hugged her tightly, and her little face was buried in those two indescribable big horrors.
"Woo woo woo~~"
"Hehehe! Stop struggling, a little cutie like you was born to be hugged and kissed by your mother! Mua! Mua! Mua!"
"Woo woo!!!"
At the dining table not far away, Rosalia, Lilia, and Chen Tianwen shuddered at the same time.
The three little girls gathered together and discussed in a very low voice.
"Let's run away quickly. According to experience, it will be our turn after Sin!"
"That's right, let's run!"
"Go, go, Ninti, brother, let's go!"
The three of them dragged Ninti who was a little behind, and Chen Tianwu, who was weak and carrying an IV stand. They moved silently to the door.
Then, a mother with red eyes flashed behind them.
"Hehehe! My little cuties, where do you want to go?"
"Wow!!!" x N
The scene was in chaos.
The mother with strange smiles and the daughters who howled like ghosts and wolves formed a comedy of mother and daughter.
Chen Tianwu laughed, ignored the cries for help from his own sister and the sisters Rosalia and Lilia, and left the scene silently.
When passing by the door, he saw a girl with brown hair, pink eyes, and a construction site helmet leaning against the door, staring at the inside.
"Miss Ana, you are here to observe Lady Cocolia again after finishing work today?"
"Yes, yes, I'm going here to convince her to let me go. If it doesn't work, I'll get some information, so I won't be criticized when I go home."
"What did you gain today?"
"Well, I was thinking, if I write what I just heard into a letter... I probably can't send it out, right?"
Ana showed a pitiful look of resentment.
Oh my god, the big boss of the construction site, Ms. Cocolia, is really awesome!
She dared to snatch the Gem of Serenity from Archbishop Otto. Ana had never seen such a bold person in her life.
Unfortunately, she had no way to share such exciting information with Durandal.
It is ten or even nine times more uncomfortable to keep gossip in your heart than to know nothing about it!
Chen Tianwu looked at the girl who had no sense of crisis with a subtle look in his eyes.
"Don't you think that you should consider your personal safety first rather than whether the letter can be sent out?"
"Ah?"
"You are a Valkyrie, Lady Cocolia is the executive officer of Anti-Entropy, and you just eavesdropped on Anti-Entropy's confidential information."
"So what?"
Ana asked in confusion.
As a migrant worker, Ana honestly worked on the construction site every day. When she was free, she also worked diligently as a sparring partner for the Iron Pilot Column.
She received several awards and banners, and her salary kept rising. The biggest trouble she encountered here was that the food in the cafeteria happened to be of a taste she was not used to, which led to eating less rice, but it was only once or twice occasionally, that's all.
Everything went very smoothly. Ana could not imagine that she would be in any danger here.
Chen Tianwu's mouth twitched again. After thinking for a while, he said nothing.
Although Lady Cocolia's words were not gentle and would occasionally come up with some dangerous plots, she was actually a good person.
She was the type of person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and would not do anything to this kind of stupid girl.
Chen Tianwu made a judgment in his heart, and then walked silently to his ward.
Compared to caring about Ana, he wanted to know whether the doctors had a new treatment plan, whether he could make his body suffer less pain, and spend more time with Chen Tianwen.
That was the most important thing.
