Chapter 259 - Chapter 259: Cheating

After Sister Ellie and Fu Hua left.

"This Bishop Otto truly has courage," Eden exclaimed.

"Indeed, if he were in our era, I think the Moth of Fire would have been more united, wouldn't it?" she said with a soft hum.

"Whether as an enemy or a friend, this Bishop Otto is truly terrifying," she added with a slight hum.

"I hope he can reach his desired destination in the end." Eden glanced at Sister Ellie, then took a sip of red wine.

After leaving Elysian Realm, Sister Ellie no longer felt such urgency.

Towards Kevin, Sister Ellie felt more admiration, and also, fear.

After all, Kevin was truly too strong, so strong that in this era, not many people could face him head-on.

Even now, whether it's Durandal, who hasn't undergone the Stigmata Project's trial, or Fu Hua, who is still in recovery.

At most, they can only slightly impede Kevin.

The trip to Haiyuan City is now unavoidable, and to rescue Bronya's sister, Seele, they also need to go to Haiyuan City.

At least for now, there's still time to breathe.

Standing by the window, "Sure enough, after saying some things, it feels much lighter," she hummed.

Fu Hua heard her, glanced at Sister Ellie, then stood beside her.

"Hua, tell me, with Kevin's icy personality, what do you think he'd do if he really came out of the sea?" Sister Ellie asked Fu Hua with some curiosity.

"I don't know." Fu Hua shook her head.

Currently, many of Fu Hua's memories are still preserved by Fenghuang Down, and her impression of Kevin is only from the few times she saw him in Elysian Realm.

"What do you think Sister Ellie would do?"

"What do I think? I think he might casually swat us aside and then leave," Sister Ellie said after a moment of thought.

This was what Sister Ellie thought was most likely to happen.

Kevin might not kill them, but he would casually swat them aside to get them out of the way.

"Sister Ellie, do we really have to stop Kevin? According to what you said, even if we work together, we can't stop Kevin. Why don't we just let Kevin leave?" Fu Hua said after a while.

"Kevin is also a warrior fighting Honkai. Do we need to fight Kevin? Even the Stigmata Project needs some preparation to begin. We can simply destroy the Stigmata Project."

After hearing Fu Hua's words, Sister Ellie immediately turned around and stared at Fu Hua with wide eyes, as if confirming whether Fu Hua was still herself.

"What's wrong?" Fu Hua asked, a little puzzled.

"Hua, your idea actually works!"

If they didn't stop Kevin from leaving, they wouldn't have to fight him.

Why did she always think about confronting Kevin head-on? As long as Kevin didn't complete the Stigmata Project, and they found a way to fight Honkai, wouldn't that be enough?

Furthermore, if they really gained the power to fight Honkai, would Kevin also come to help them?

"So, at that time, as long as we temporarily don't conflict with Kevin, that'll be enough!" Saying this, Sister Ellie directly hugged Fu Hua.

"Hua, it's good to have you!" Sister Ellie gave Fu Hua a quick peck on the cheek, then happily ran out of the room.

Why hadn't she thought before that there was no direct conflict between her and Kevin?

Having figured it out, Sister Ellie's mood instantly brightened.

When she walked into the living room, seeing Kiana and Bronya playing games together, Sister Ellie immediately joined them.

When Kiana lost, Sister Ellie immediately offered to help Kiana get revenge.

In response, Bronya merely looked at Sister Ellie a few times.

In terms of games, she could not lose.

In a game with fixed stats like this, Sister Ellie couldn't really cheat.

Especially since Bronya was an experienced gamer; she could detect even the slightest modification.

Besides, it was just a game, there was no need to use cheating methods.

After a few rounds.

Sister Ellie watched her controlled character being continuously comboed into the corner by Bronya, unable to land.

Sister Ellie still couldn't resist.

She secretly used a tiny bit of power to slightly speed up her character's descent, preventing Bronya from continuing the combo.

When her character landed, Sister Ellie breathed a sigh of relief.

She secretly glanced at Bronya, and when she saw Bronya looking at her with a calm gaze, Sister Ellie immediately turned her head to face the television.

'Oh no, it seems I've been caught cheating!'

Sister Ellie quickly pretended as if nothing had happened and continued to control her character.

In the end, Sister Ellie still lost this round.

After finishing, Sister Ellie directly handed the controller to Kiana, then ran behind them.

"Sister Ellie, weren't you almost winning just now? You might have won this round, why aren't you playing anymore?" Kiana held the controller and turned to look at Sister Ellie.

"No, no, Bronya is just too amazing." Sister Ellie gave an awkward laugh, then avoided Bronya's gaze.

"Sister Ellie is very strong," Bronya said calmly.

"No, no, even if we played another round, I still couldn't beat you, Bronya." Sister Ellie quickly waved her hands.

"Kiana, you play, I really can't beat Bronya." Sister Ellie quickly said to Kiana.

Kiana scratched her head, though she didn't know what had happened, "Hmph, Little one! Come on! I'm definitely going to win this time and get revenge for Sister Ellie!"

Kiana inexplicably got fired up.

Only when Bronya turned back to continue playing did Sister Ellie finally relax.
