Looking at the door in front of her, Karen hesitated for a moment, then she stretched out her hand, pushed the door open, and walked in. Fang Zheng followed behind, looking around like a tourist.

In front of them, Bishop Apokalis stood with his back to the two of them, looking at the world outside the window.

"Your Excellency."

Kallen stared at Bishop Apokalis and spoke.

"That's it."

"Yeah... that's it."

The old bishop sighed, slowly turned his head and looked at Kallen.

"Kaslana family, I never thought you could do this. Kallen Kaslana, do you know what you are doing? You have destroyed the reputation of Tianming for hundreds of years and the status that countless people have sacrificed for it."

"It is you who destroyed all this, not me, Your Excellency."

If it was before, Karen might have really been shaken by this. But now, she obviously would not deny herself just because of a few words from Bishop Apokalis.

"You have trampled on the hard work and glory of our predecessors. The Mandate of Heaven exists to protect humanity and the people. You have turned it into a blood-sucking leech that lies on the people! Not only that, the inhumane acts you have committed will also be punished!"

“Hehehe…”

Bishop Apokalis smiled softly at Karen's accusation.

"You are young after all. When I first took over the position of bishop, I was just like you..."

"Okay, Kallen, why are you talking to him?"

Without waiting for the old bishop to recall the past, Fang Zheng interrupted his speech.

"No matter how much he talks here, it can't change what he did. No matter how high-sounding the reasons are, they can't cover up the fact that he sacrificed innocent people. It's enough for us to know this. Maybe in the future, some writer who complains for no reason will use him as material to write a book to reveal to the world the... 'injustice' of this old man, but this has nothing to do with us, right?"

"hehe……"

The old bishop was not angry at being interrupted by Fang Zheng. He just glanced at Fang Zheng and then looked at Karen again.

"Well, as this young man said, it's useless to say anything now, but...Karen Kaslana, your sense of justice may bring you shadows that you never thought of."

"What do you mean?"

Hearing this, Kallen clenched the spear in her hand and looked at the old bishop, who stared at Kallen, opened his mouth and uttered a name.

"Otto Apokalis."

"……Why?!"

Karen was shocked when she heard the name, but the old bishop stared at her and continued to speak.

"I know he loves you very much. But little girl, do you know what he has done for you? Those evil, taboo, and cruel experiments you mentioned were not carried out by others, but by..."

"Shut up!!!"

Kallen's roar once again interrupted the old bishop's words. This time, her face was pale and her hands were tightly holding the spear. Her arms, which were strong enough to lift boulders weighing several kilograms, were trembling slightly.

"Otto...Otto is not that kind of person!"

"Hehe, who do you think he is? Kallen Kaslana? A young, high-spirited guy? A like-minded companion? Or a close lover? I guess you've never seen what his expression was like when he injected drugs into those children and watched them die. I guess you don't even know how he witnessed those children die tragically in forbidden experiments... Has he never mentioned these to you?"

“No…no…”

Hearing this, Karin shook her head and stepped back. Then she seemed to have thought of something and suddenly looked at Fang Zheng next to her.

"You know! Right? You know all about it!"

"I don't think it's appropriate for me to tell you this."

Facing Kallen's question, Fang Zheng spread his hands and shrugged.

"I'm going to tell you that your childhood sweetheart is a pervert who likes to do human experiments behind your back... You won't believe it either."

"Hahaha……"

Looking at Karen's painful expression, the old bishop finally sneered.

"How was it? How does it feel to have your beautiful dream shattered? Kallen Kaslana? Why do you think that kid did this? It was all for you. Because you felt heartbroken for those who were afflicted with the Black Death, he chose to conduct research and treatment for you. And to protect your hope, he chose to join the research and participate in our human experiments. He just didn't want to lose you... Poor Kallen Kaslana!"

"No... don't say anymore... don't say anymore... I..."

Karen stepped back tremblingly, but the next moment, Fang Zheng reached out and pressed her shoulders, then he narrowed his eyes and stared at the old bishop.

"Okay, old man, there has to be a limit to your nonsense. Otto's stupidity is his own business. What does it have to do with Kallen?"

Having said this, Fang Zheng snorted.

"Was it Kallen who made him make the choice? No, it was his own choice. He chose to turn his back on Kallen and walk down this dark path. It was his own responsibility. Kallen knew nothing about it. Well, if Kallen knew about Otto's crappy ideas, would she agree with them? Of course not. Didn't Otto also understand this, so he kept silent to Kallen?"

Fang Zheng patted Karen's shoulder gently, and stared at the old bishop with a ferocious smile.

"To put it bluntly, it was Otto who betrayed Kallen's trust and her feelings, and now you have the nerve to stand here and confuse right and wrong? You are stupid enough to choose the wrong path, and you want to blame others for not setting a good example? It's not me who is wrong, it's the world? You are so old, and you are still so childish?"

Staring at the old bishop, Fang Zheng opened his mouth and revealed a sinister smile.

"In the final analysis, Otto Apocalis is a coward, a weak-willed and incompetent guy. He didn't dare to accompany Kallen on this path, but he didn't want Kallen to die for it, so he would rather fall into darkness and immerse himself in this kind of self-sacrificing intoxication. Ah... My hands are stained with blood, but this is for Kallen, whom I love deeply. I would rather bear all the sins as long as I can maintain her angelic pure heart... "

Fang Zheng opened his hands, made movements and recited lines like an opera singer, and then sneered.

"So, he doesn't really think he's the protagonist in a tragic drama, does he? Hahahahahahahahahahaha..."

Fang Zheng was merciless when it came to mocking Otto. It's not like he hadn't read Otto's diary, nor had he not read about Otto's mental journey. However... for Fang Zheng, no matter how touching Otto's writing was, he felt no emotion at all and even wanted to laugh.

For Fang Zheng, he supports taking revenge. If you are bullied in school or suffer domestic violence and you pick up an axe and hack someone to death, Fang Zheng will have nothing to say - but the key is not to implicate other innocent people.

Of course, Americans are an exception. The fact that Americans live in North America is a sin in itself. No matter how many people die, they are not innocent. Only when they get out of North America and return this land to the indigenous people can we consider treating Americans as human beings.

Oh, it seems that the indigenous people have been killed by them.

That would be such a pity...

So when Fang Zheng read Otto's diary, he couldn't stop laughing. No matter how much you describe your sad journey, it can't cover up your indifference - since you are indifferent, your journey is of no use to me. Do I want to learn from you and become an indifferent scum?

Psychologists may use this to explore the consequences of distorted human nature, and historians may use it to judge Otto's growth journey. But for Fang Zheng, Otto's diary is nothing but a bunch of nonsense.

Besides, he was too lazy to care about a man’s mental journey.

"you……"

Hearing Fang Zheng's ridicule, the old bishop's face finally changed slightly. However, before he could say anything else, a golden beam of light suddenly flashed and pierced through the old bishop's head. Then, the old bishop shook his body and slowly fell to the ground.

This scene startled Karen, and then she saw Otto holding a golden pistol and walking out silently from behind.

"Otto, you..."

"Just like father... His Excellency the Bishop said."

Noticing that Kallen was staring at him, Otto turned his head away slightly, but soon he raised his head again and looked at Kallen.

"But Kallen, do you understand what I'm thinking?"

With his fists clenched, Otto stared at Kallen.

"I just want you to be alive! It's that simple! I don't want you to die like your father did! I just want you to survive! It's that simple! For this, I will do whatever it takes, even if my hands are covered in blood, even if I become a demon, as long as you can survive..."

“No…no…this…”

Facing Otto's confession, Karen kept shaking her head and stepped back - then Fang Zheng held her down and looked at Otto.

"There are many ways to keep someone alive, but you chose the stupidest one... Just like last night, you couldn't convince her to escape from prison, right?"

“…”

Otto's expression darkened when he heard Fang Zheng's words.

"Dead people can't do anything, but people can choose how they should live."

Fang Zheng looked at Otto and narrowed his eyes.

"So, you actually never understood what Kallen wanted from the beginning to the end. You just thought you knew what she wanted."

"Perhaps so."

Otto took a deep breath and looked at Kallen, who now raised her head and stared at him—her blue eyes did not waver at all, as firm as ever.

"Karen, I still think that there are some problems in this world that cannot be solved by human wisdom. Just like the Honkai Impact 3rd... it threatens us, but we are helpless against it. We have tried everything and paid so much, but in the end, we still couldn't find the answer."

“When you look at darkness, don’t look for light.”

Fang Zheng waved his hand.

"You can only represent yourself, Otto Apokalis, you can't represent anyone else in the world. Maybe you can't handle Honkai, maybe Kallen can't handle it either, but who says there won't be someone who can handle Honkai among the others?"

"You don't understand what I got!"

Hearing this, Otto clenched his fists and stared at Fang Zheng.

"I got everything. It was the infinite knowledge brought by the fruit of wisdom. But even so, I couldn't find a way to resist the collapse, even if it was a gift from the ancient civilization..."

"Nonsense, how can it help you if it's destroyed itself?"

Fang Zheng snorted softly.

"If the ancient civilization could resist the collapse, then they would not have been destroyed. So in the final analysis, they still can't do it. Seeking help from the experience of losers will only make you another loser."

“——!”

Hearing this, suddenly, a golden light flashed in Otto's eyes, and then he raised his head and looked at Fang Zheng.

"Then I'll let you taste the power of a loser!"
