Chapter 212 Seele is hungry
Catherine's car wasn't big, so Qiong and Bai'er, who were sitting in the back, could only sit close together. However, Seele had to stay close to Qiong, but she didn't want to sit in the same dimension as Bai'er... Therefore, Seele could only sit in Qiong's lap, using her zero-mass body in reality to force Qiong to do some things that seemed incomprehensible to Bai'er.
"Brother Danheng".
Because Qiong kept twisting her body for no apparent reason, Bai E, who was full of questions, didn't dare to ask. But Qiong had been twisting for so long that he couldn't help but ask directly.
"Do you know where that monster we encountered before came from?"
For some reason, Qiong felt that Bai E had connected him with the Quantum Shadow. In fact, he was also wondering: was it possible that the Quantum Shadow was attracted by the star core? But there was no evidence!
Qiong gestured for Bai E to look at Catherine with his eyes—Catherine was reliable, not only paying Bai E's medical expenses in advance but also promising to reimburse all losses. However, this did not prevent Qiong from being wary of this "Rita." It was very possible that as soon as he guessed that he had spoken, the long sword would be swung at him.
"Well, Mr. Danheng has no idea about this at all."
It's not exactly a lie; Dan Heng doesn't know what it has to do with him.
"Brother Bai'e!"
To avoid Bai E continuing to question and attracting Catherine's attention, Qiong decided to take the initiative.
Do your family members know about your car accident?
The topic shift was a bit abrupt, and Bai E was taken aback for a moment.
“My family should know by now, right? I told Lao Su—that doctor you saw before, she and I have been very close friends since childhood! She should have already told my sister, and my sister will tell Mom and Dad.”
"You actually have parents?"
Bai E cast a surprised look at him, as if to say: What, you didn't?
"Uh, sorry."
Realizing she had spoken too hastily and without thinking, Qiong chuckled.
"By the way, does that Dr. Su like you?"
To cover up the awkwardness, Qiong could only talk about another topic.
"Huh? Old Su and me? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Bai E didn't blush as Qiong had expected; instead, she firmly denied it, without even a hint of doubt.
"Danheng, she and I have been friends since we were kids. We're really close. I treat her like a brother. You might not know this, but Lao Su played a part in my pursuit of Aying! If she hadn't encouraged me to confess, I wouldn't have had the guts!"
Seeing Bai E's absolutely unconvinced attitude, Qiong didn't know what to say.
A hopeless case of pure, unadulterated love.
"Let's not talk about me anymore. Danheng, what about you? Do you have someone you like?"
"I would probably like her if she didn't wear glasses, or if she was a really good cook."
The atmosphere inside the car became relaxed and cheerful. Bai Er stopped asking about the Quantum Shadow and the two unexpectedly got along very well, even losing track of time. It wasn't until Catherine stepped on the brakes that they realized they had arrived at their destination.
"Company headquarters? What are you doing here! Aren't you a member of some secret organization?"
Bai Er looked out the car window in surprise. Catherine turned around, her face still expressionless.
"Yes, I am a guard from the Nameless City under the command of Destiny. Originally, you two could have left without keeping this a secret, but today is different."
The two exchanged a glance. Qiong saw confusion and tension in Bai E's eyes, while Bai E only saw one emotion in Qiong's eyes.
curious.
Following Catherine, the two entered the headquarters one after the other. The luxurious decorations here dazzled them... Soon, they were led to an office, behind which stood the Star of the Unknown City.
"Gentlemen, the priest invites you."
"Seele, what do you think?"
Suddenly questioned by Qiong, Xi'er observed the blond man in front of her: Father Bio, the boss of Destiny Company, or rather the former boss, had a face that didn't look like a good person at all.
"Brother Qiong, he might be a bad person..."
Qiong nodded with satisfaction; Xier still had a basic sense of good and evil.
Sitting behind his large desk, the newly resigned CEO was still playing video games, completely unaware of the two people who had entered.
“Father, I have brought the person you requested.”
Catherine called out "Otto" softly, but he did not respond.
"Father!"
"I can hear you, I'm not deaf!"
Otto impatiently looked up, and a young and handsome face came into view.
"Ahem, hello young people."
The man put down the game controller and stood up.
“I am Bio Apocalypse, former chairman of Destiny, but I prefer you to call me Father.”
Bio gave a graceful bow.
Qiong couldn't help but ask a question.
"O-Bio, why don't you call yourself a bishop? By the way, how old are you?"
"Danheng!"
Bai E was trembling with fear. He hadn't expected Qiong to be so bold, actually addressing one of the most important figures in Weiming City by his first name and even questioning his age! If it were him, he'd probably be fired tomorrow for stepping into the company with his left foot first!
But Bio wasn't angry; he just smiled slightly.
“Bishop? No, no, no, I’m just a priest, the kind of priest who corresponds to a nun. As for my age… I’m sorry, I can only say that time has always been exceptionally kind to me, Mr. Danheng, visitor from outer space.”
Qiong: !
Otto of this world already knows he's an outsider?!
How did you know?!
Bio didn't reply; his gaze fell on Bai E.
"Mr. Bai'er, you can pretend today's events never happened, and headquarters will provide you with satisfactory compensation. Alternatively, you can choose to join the Mysterious Embrace. However, joining the Mysterious Embrace will entail unimaginable responsibilities, but you will also receive almost all the compensation you desire. Please consider this carefully..."
"As for you, Mr. Danheng."
Bio's gaze then turned to Qiong, a smug smile on his face.
“I think we have a lot to work on together. I’ve always believed there’s a much larger world beyond Weiming City. Can you tell me about it? And of course, there’s the Shadow Monster. Its appearance has been bothering us for a long time. I saw you use that hat to completely eliminate the Shadow Monster. Maybe you can… Of course, I won’t let you help for nothing. Do you want to leave? I might be able to help you.”

"I'm so hungry..."
How long has it been since she last ate? According to Qiong, the last time she ate was about three years ago.
"You...feel very hungry?"
Bai hope was a little confused. How could she be hungry? Why didn't she feel it?
Hei hope nodded slightly, toying with the scythe beside her.
"I don't know, I just feel really hungry. And I think that man smells so good..."
"Brother Qiong?"
"Hmm, who else could it be but him?"
In the vast space, Bai hope involuntarily took two steps back.
"No! Seele won't allow you to hurt Bronya's friend! Otherwise, I will never forgive you!"
With a trembling voice and body, he issued a threat that seemed to overestimate his abilities, to which Hei hope rolled his eyes at Bai hope.
"Alright, alright, you coward. I'm not interested in eating people, but it smells so good!"
Bai hope breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Hei hope's words.
"It's just that I have to be able to endure it."
Perhaps half-jokingly, or perhaps simply to tease Seele, Hei hope added another sentence.
"I can resist the urge to taste it."
