Chapter 81: Otto: I remembered a lot
"Will you come with me?"
When Otto heard Mo Chen's words, surprise was written all over his face.
"Of course, as long as you nod, I can accompany you to search."
"this..."
Being still young, he had no idea what the other party wanted to do, so he could only nod his head confusedly, not knowing what kind of contract he was signing.
"Thank you. Um, my name is Otto."
"My name is Mo Chen."
After seeing Otto nod, Mo Chen first introduced himself, then a satisfied expression appeared on his face, and he slowly walked to the other side.
"Otto, are you practicing swordplay?"
"Well, my father asked me to practice swordplay with my brother because it is something that members of the Apocalypse family must learn."
Otto spoke delicately, obviously recalling the words his brother had just used to scold him.
Being still young, he didn't understand why he was the only one being scolded like that, even though he had already tried his best to do his best.
After confirming Otto's situation, Mo Chen slowly said:
"I don't think you're suited to sword training. Even if you spend your whole life practicing, it would be difficult to reach a particularly high level. Of course, if you're willing to spend several lifetimes honing your skills, you might become much stronger than the average master, like your brother."
"How many lifetimes?"
Otto thought Mo Chen was joking.
After all, a normal person only lives one life, so where does he get several lifetimes to hone his swordsmanship?
'And if I could really live several lifetimes, why would I still need to hone my swordsmanship? Couldn't I do something more meaningful?'
When Otto fell silent, Mo Chen picked up the sword in Otto's hand and played with it.
In the blink of an eye, a handsome sword flower took shape in his hand. Its refinement seemed to have been through countless battles, and it had a momentum that ordinary people could never achieve!
"Wow… so amazing…"
Little Otto was stunned at first, then immediately showed an expression of admiration.
He had never seen anyone with such amazing swordsmanship. The swordsmanship that Mo Chen had just displayed had far surpassed that of his brother, who had the highest fighting talent in the family!
Mo Chen calmly welcomed Otto's admiration and slowly inserted his sword into the ground:
"See? This is the swordsmanship level that takes several lifetimes to achieve. Do you want to become like me? If you are willing, I can spend time teaching you swordsmanship and help you reach perfection on this path."
"this..."
After hearing Mo Chen's words, Otto hesitated.
Although he should not have hesitated and should have asked this mysterious gentleman for advice on swordsmanship in order to gain his brother's approval, Otto inexplicably felt that something was wrong, as if he had played a wrong note on the piano and instinctively felt a very strong sense of disharmony.
So, he shook his head vigorously and said, "I...I don't want to practice swordsmanship. I don't think I have to take this path."
"Really?"
A hint of disappointment subtly emerged in Mo Chen's eyes.
But he didn't care too much and said calmly: "So what do you want to do? Is there any goal you really want to achieve?"
"I...I..." Hearing Mo Chen's words, Otto hesitated, "I want to be an inventor. There are many interesting books in my father's study. I used to read them secretly..."
"Inventor?" Mo Chen thought about Otto's answer and nodded silently, "That's a good goal. I believe you can achieve it."
"Eh? Aren't you going to scold me?"
Otto was slightly stunned. He had told others about his wishes before but was either laughed at or scolded. Almost no one was willing to recognize his unrealistic ideal.
Mo Chen calmly said, "Why should I scold you? You are just an inventor. What's wrong with such a realistic wish? You know, my goal is to save everyone in the world and bring salvation to everyone. Don't you think my goal is even more outrageous?"
"Okay... it seems to be true." Otto nodded blankly, "But I think your idea is very good, Brother Mo Chen. Can I have the same ideal as you?"
"Oh? Do you want to borrow my ideal from me?" Mo Chen asked with a little surprise.
"No, I just think this is great..." Otto said with courage, "I also want to be... a hero who can save some people!"
"Well, then work hard." Mo Chen glanced at Otto silently, "I believe you can do it."
[What the hell? What is Mo Chen trying to do? A plan to train a great leader?]
[It seems that it is indeed possible. If we can correct Otto's bad ideas from the source, maybe we can really make Otto a good person.]
[However, speaking of it, Otto was too cute and well-behaved when he was a child. What happened to make him become the extremely twisted Bishop of Schicksal later on?]
[Who knows? These things are the secret files of Schicksal, and ordinary people have no way of understanding them.]
[So it looks like we can get in touch with them this time?]
[Wuhu, good feeling is coming]
[That's right, this time Mo Chen seems to have reached his mature stage. Maybe his strength is even stronger than that of Dr. Mobius.]
[Pretend to be cool! Hurry up and start pretending!]
…
"Is this Otto?"
Bronya stared blankly at the video.
At this moment, her long silver hair was completely scattered on the sofa, and some of it was stuck to Mo Chen, fluffy and soft.
"It's hard to believe that the extremely evil Bishop of Schicksal can actually be so normal..."
In response to Bronya's question, Mo Chen calmly said:
"There's a saying that no matter how vicious an animal is, it will show completely opposite traits when it's young. The same is true for Otto. Even if he becomes a disgusting and disgusting happy twisted monster in the future, he still looks more or less normal when he was young."
"From what you said, it sounds like you have a lot of experience."
"Haha, maybe I have really rich experience." Mo Chen said with a smile.
At this moment, his mind recalled many people he had met when he traveled back to his childhood, such as Mei when she was a child, Sirin when she was a child, Mobius when she was a child, and Elysia when she was a child...
All of a sudden, the image of Elysia appeared in his mind, and Mo Chen paused slightly.
Even now, when he thinks back on the simulation with Elysia, he can't help but feel that it was all too thrilling.
The other party is indeed the most special Herrscher. Even in his current situation, it would be a life-or-death struggle for him to complete the strategy.
But luckily, it all turned out well in the end.
Although fate had closed all the paths for him, it still left a window, preventing everything from completely leading to tragic destruction.
In this respect, it is similar to Otto's simulation.
During the simulation of a life-and-death situation, there was still indeed only one way to survive, and Mo Chen successfully captured it and completed the final redemption.
…
Return to video.
After Mo Chen and Otto met and became companions who moved forward together to find and achieve their life goals, their relationship gradually began to become familiar.
Mo Chen taught Otto some sword skills. Although they were not enough to make him a powerful warrior, at least he would no longer be the object of ridicule in the family.
Otto also took Mo Chen secretly into his own study room and showed him many treasures of the Apocalypse family, including some content about Honkai.
In this case, although the two of them did not acknowledge each other much, it can be said that they became important friends to each other.
One day, in order to fulfill his dream of being an inventor, little Otto spent a whole night making a powered airplane that could fly very far on the wind. It was his masterpiece.
He happily held the things and wanted to find Mo Chen to share his creation with him.
As a result, he met his brother on the road.
When Otto's brother saw what he had in his hand, he immediately showed an unhappy expression and smashed the plane in his hand to pieces:
"Otto, you are wasting your time doing this kind of boring thing again. Where is your training? I thought you had made some progress recently, but I didn't expect you to be a useless waste."
"I..."
Faced with his brother's criticism, Otto could not utter a word and just stared at the broken plane on the ground.
At this moment, he inexplicably felt as if something important to him was broken, and for the first time, the young boy felt unprecedented anger.
All of a sudden, Otto clenched his fists and his face turned red, but he didn't know how to vent his anger, so he could only lower his head...
Just at this moment.
"You said he was a useless waste, then who are you?" A familiar voice came from the side. "Many people always like to belittle others to gain a sense of existence, pretending to be strong. But in fact, this kind of contempt and belittlement is the embodiment of weakness."
As soon as he finished speaking, Otto's brother Ferdinand Apocalypse became furious!
"Who are you to dare to insult me, the eldest son of the Apocalypse family and the next bishop of Schicksal?!"
Ferdinand looked angrily at the man in black who suddenly appeared.
Mo Chen calmly said, "Do you think there is something wrong with what I said?"
"You...are looking for death!" Ferdinand angrily took out his sword and swung it towards Mo Chen without any hesitation, "I will judge you for being disrespectful to Apocalypse!"
"Haha, it seems that this is the only surname you can be proud of."
Mo Chen shook his head calmly, then looked at the other person motionlessly.
Bang!
The next moment, as the shadow of a giant snake emerged behind him, purple lightning flashed in the air, completely paralyzing Ferdinand.
The latter was stunned with fear at this moment. He never expected such a thing to happen.
Mo Chen calmly glanced at Otto behind him and said:
"Are you feeling angry? That means you have grown up because anger always makes people want to do something."
"So, remember your anger at this moment. It means that you have found your temporary direction. Try to move in that direction as much as possible."
"this..."
Hearing Mo Chen's advice, Otto was slightly stunned, then nodded vigorously.
At this moment, he has gradually realized the meaning of his existence and found the goal he should strive for.
For this, he looked at Mo Chen with excitement and gratitude and said, "One day, I will become a true inventor and be recognized by everyone, including you, Brother Mo Chen!"
"Haha, then I'm looking forward to it..."
Shaking his head, Mo Chen released his restraints on Ferdinand.
Purple lightning flashed in the air, and his figure disappeared in Apocalypse's manor like a ghost.
[Fuck, so cool! ]
[This is indeed Mo Chen during the period of obtaining the super mutation factor]
[If it was him at this time, he should be fully capable of fighting against Herrschers, or even stronger beings. In that period when even Herrschers had not yet been born, was he too strong and invincible? ]
[He can finally pretend to be awesome this time. Is this the Long Aotian plot? ]
[Who knows? I think it's best not to have too high hopes.]
[Anyway, I've already done my best, I'm happy]
[I hope Mo Chen can correct Otto's twisted thinking later]
…
"This is actually the past of former Bishop Otto?"
In the conference room of Schicksal headquarters.
Rita looked at the contents of the screen in surprise and then couldn't help but glance at Otto himself beside her.
At first, she thought that the Otto described in the video was a little too naive and did not have the aura of the Bishop of Schicksal later on, so she doubted the authenticity of the video.
But when she saw the thoughtful look on Otto's face, she no longer had any doubts.
There is no doubt that this is probably the past of the former bishop who served the longest in the history of Schicksal, and it is the time when he was ignorant and green.
"This is what Grandpa used to be..."
Theresa looked at Otto hesitantly and at the same time couldn't help but look at Kallen beside her.
As a result, she found that Otto and Kallen were both frowning as if they had been strongly shocked by the release of the video.
"Otto, do you remember anything..." Kallen frowned and said, "I seem to suddenly remember a lot of things. Those things are things I have never thought about before, but now I think they are very reasonable as if it should be this way, it should be this way..."
"I remember a lot too."
Otto shook his head, looking shocked.
He was like a lost person trapped in a beautiful fantasy. It was not until today that he finally saw the original appearance of the world and remembered why everything had become like this...
