"Stupid Rozaliya, Bronya sister said this person can be trusted." Liliya immediately brought up Bronya upon seeing this.
And once Bronya's name was brought up, even Rozaliya didn't make much of a fuss, which left Shun somewhat surprised. Was Bronya really that authoritative in the orphanage?
"However, although Bronya sister told me to fully follow your arrangements… Godfather sir, can you tell me what purpose you have for opposing Cocolia mom?"
Liliya then asked her question. Shun wasn't surprised that Liliya would ask this. After all, this little girl was very smart. She could definitely guess that he and Cocolia had deep conflicts. However, since Bronya trusted him and even Seele had returned, the scale in Liliya's heart naturally tilted.
"Liliya, let me ask you a question first, how about it?" Shun didn't rush to answer but planned to listen to Liliya's view first.
"Please ask." Liliya was slightly stunned, then replied.
"In your heart, is Cocolia a good person?" Shun raised this seemingly simple question.
However, this left Liliya in a difficult position, momentarily unsure where to begin.
"Cocolia mom is of course a good person!" Before Liliya could answer, Rozaliya hurriedly rushed to defend Cocolia.
"Really? Rozaliya, look into my eyes. Are you sure Cocolia is really a good person?"
"This…" Facing Shun's serious gaze, Rozaliya immediately lost her confidence.
After all, even the most innocent and naive Rozaliya faintly felt that Cocolia was not as flawless as the children in the orphanage imagined.
"No…" Liliya lowered her head and said softly. The two sisters had once accidentally broken into Cocolia's laboratory and been injected with the super transformation factor of the Emperor-level Honkai Beast Ashuv. Those inhumane experimental scenes were still vivid in their minds — deformed humans, dissected Honkai Beasts and Dead Soldiers, scenes straight out of a horror movie.
"If you don't have a clear idea in your hearts, I can reveal a piece of information to you. As for its authenticity, you can verify it yourselves once you're outside, how about it?"
Liliya didn't answer, probably tacitly agreeing.
"Just a few months ago, in Nagazora City in the Far East, the Third Honkai Eruption broke out. About three million people died in that disaster. Guess who the culprit behind this Honkai Eruption was?"
"That's right, it was your good mom, Cocolia. In pursuit of Herrscher power, she artificially triggered the Third Honkai Eruption solely for her own selfish desires, causing more than three million people to die unnatural deaths."
"If you're unclear about the authenticity of this information, you can ask your most trusted Bronya sister. She was also a survivor of that Honkai Eruption."
"That's about all I have to say. Next, let me go settle accounts with your mom… Don't worry, I won't kill her. After all, she has some good daughters."
Shun patted the twins' shoulders, walked past the two of them, and continued toward the location where Cocolia was hiding.
Liliya, who had still been somewhat apprehensive, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Shun say he wouldn't kill Cocolia.
Cocolia might indeed deserve death, but at least as her daughters, she didn't want Cocolia to lose her life just like that. Now that she had Shun's guarantee, she had no objections.
Abyssal City was like a dead-silent tomb, with only a nursery rhyme faintly drifting among the ruins. The melody that used to be full of childish innocence now sounded to the few remaining survivors in the city like the sinister laughter of a devil crawling out from the abyss of hell, making listeners' hair stand on end, with chills penetrating their bones. Every note was telling of the city's despair and sorrow.
"Find a friend, find a friend, find find find a friend…" People hiding in various places in Abyssal City carefully concealed their tracks, afraid of being found by this lingering, unforgettable murmur echoing in their minds.
"Found a good friend, found a good friend, found a good friend…" The sound gradually faded, followed by a person's scream. It seemed another unlucky person had been found by this soul-reaping evil ghost.
When the sound faded further, those who hadn't been found breathed a sigh of relief. They were safe — for now.
"Misteln, your ability is really useful…" Unlike the Grim Reaper people imagined, Shun was simply walking normally on the road. If he found someone with too high an evil value, he would conveniently send them to meet God.
But under Misteln's blessing, to others Shun was a soul-reaping evil ghost. Once found by him, death was inevitable. But Shun had only killed those who had committed many evil deeds.
There were still quite a few survivors in Abyssal City. Perhaps because this place had only recently been developed, the researchers here hadn't yet stained their hands with blood?
"You flatter me. It's just some insignificant little tricks that can only fool ordinary people." Misteln said modestly.
But Shun knew that the "ordinary people" she mentioned were those whose spiritual power was vastly inferior to hers. Because he had cultivated Taixu Sword Qi and had Fenghuang Down, he wouldn't be greatly affected by her. But at this moment, he had to mention Miss Tazi. "Ordinary people" like Miss Tazi had no way to resist Misteln's control.
One could only say that playing with mechanics was indeed very shady. Unless one had powerful stats to break through the mechanic's lock, unfortunately Miss Tazi was just an ordinary person with neither mechanics nor stats.
"Hmm? Found her." Shun raised his hand. The Abyss Flower in his arm glowed with white light. In the past, Cecilia had held the Abyss Flower and saved Cocolia's life during the Second Honkai Eruption, so her life signal had also been recorded by the Abyss Flower.
Shun had been wandering around using the Abyss Flower's life detection function to find people. The fact that it had found her now meant the Abyss Flower had located Cocolia.
Behind this door? Shun touched the large door that looked impregnable at first glance. It was probably much sturdier than any bank vault door.
But this naturally couldn't stop Shun. Holding the signal axe transformed from the Abyss Flower, he chopped toward this large door made of who-knows-what alloy.
"It says, you can go up!"
"Eighty… eighty…" Because the door was too thick, even though the Abyss Flower chopped on it like cutting iron like mud, Shun still spent some effort to smash the door open.
"Here's Johnny!" As soon as Shun stuck his head in, a large-caliber bullet flew toward his forehead. But in the next moment it passed through as if hitting a phantom. The bullet hit the alloy door, sparking small sparks.
"Tsk, refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit." Shun pulled his head back and kicked this damn door open.
As the smoke and dust dispersed, Shun slowly walked out from behind the door and met eyes with the terrified Cocolia.
"You have violated the unforgivable crime of greedy seizure in the Galactic Justice Code. I, Shun, declare that all your rights are stripped. Surrender obediently, Cocolia."
The Abyss Flower's vines wrapped around the entire room at the fastest speed, eliminating any possibility of Cocolia using any mechanisms or secret doors to escape.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Cocolia no longer resisted. Although this was her first meeting with Shun, when she saw him breaking into Abyssal City as if entering an uninhabited land, she knew she had already lost.
Cocolia raised her hands and kicked the P9 pistol she had just fired at Shun into the distance.
"I surrender."
