“So what?” Bayle looked at the extremely dangerous threats in the barrage and asked calmly.
[…] After Bayle asked this question, no one in the barrage spoke.
After a while, scattered comments like “Just joking,” “Don’t take it to heart,” and “We’re all on the same side” began to drift across the barrage.
Bayle ignored these things.
He picked up the medical report and headed straight for Ms.
Herta’s room.
The journey was silent.
It wasn’t until he reached the door that a comment appeared in the barrage.
[Are you angry?] Bayle lowered his eyes, chuckled softly, and raised his hand to knock on Ms.
Herta’s room.
“Enter.” Bayle walked in and saw Ms.
Herta sitting on the edge of the high balcony, with a mirror floating beside her.
“Look!
Where is this?
It is the master of the Herta Space Station!
The Genius Society of the Genius Society!
The residence of Ms.
Herta!
You need not panic!
Feel free to be amazed!” “Of course, please do not shout!
Bury your joy and amazement deep in your heart!
We do not need to speak it aloud, because—this is the place of longing for all the Genius Society!
And sitting here!
Is the Existence that countless people praise and long to follow, Genius Society #83, Ms.
Herta!” Bayle: “…?” Bayle heard such a long, exaggerated opening speech as soon as he stepped in.
The Fourth Mirror circled around Bayle and said vexedly.
“Hey, hey, hey, give me some reaction!
I said so much, don’t you find it amazing?
Don’t you want to loudly praise Ms.
Herta?” “Ah…” Bayle paused, “Then…
Ms.
Herta is truly great.” “You’re being too perfunctory!
Ms.
Herta!
Look at him!” The Fourth Mirror whined to Ms.
Herta.
“What are you doing?” Ms.
Herta said.
The Fourth Mirror: “Ah, this…
wasn’t I just trying to perform a necessary ritual for the two of you to begin your conversation?
This feels very ritualistic, doesn’t it?” Bayle felt a bit helpless and said directly: “The medical exam is fine, what do you want to do?” Ms.
Herta rested her chin on her hand, looking at the scene outside the Herta Space Station: “Why do you think I would personally return from the edge of the galaxy to see you?” Bayle took a look at the flowing Path power and stepped directly into mid-air.
Ms.
Herta didn’t turn back, seemingly waiting for an answer.
“You were supposed to come back anyway.” “Nonsense!” The Fourth Mirror couldn’t help but interject, “Ms.
Herta does whatever she wants!
There is no such thing as what she’should’ do!” Hearing this, Ms.
Herta couldn’t help but smile.
“Right, you are correct.” Bayle followed her gaze outward.
Outside the glass was the galaxy, and a few stars could be seen in the distance.
“Bayle, is this our first time meeting?” The Fourth Mirror drifted around like a fly, looking at Ms.
Herta one moment and Bayle the next.
“Eh?
Ms.
Herta knew him before?
How come I didn’t know?
Could it be some acquaintance who stepped on the Path of Nihility is here to cause you trouble?
That won’t do!
If you want to be rude to Ms.
Herta, you have to get past me first!” Bayle felt that this mirror was a bit noisy; it would be better suited as a brick.
But…
Since Ms.
Herta asked that, does it mean she noticed something?
So, he answered with a chuckle.
“In a sense, this should be our third meeting, right?” Ms.
Herta took the medical report from his hand and glanced at it.
“Close your eyes.” Bayle obediently closed his eyes.
After about three seconds, he opened them and saw a door in front of him.
Ms.
Herta sat on The Scepter and said directly: “Follow me.” Walking through the door, Bayle scanned the surrounding scene and subconsciously took a look.
Very well, the door was gone.
“Where is this?” Before Ms.
Herta could speak, The Fourth Mirror proudly explained: “This is the secret base of the noble Ms.
Herta on the Herta Space Station, specifically used for experiments!” “This place contains dangerous collections gathered from everywhere.
Every item here could become an object of interstellar pursuit if taken out!” “It’s actually just a place I use to store miscellaneous items,” Ms.
Herta said directly.
“Nothing to be surprised about.” “Alright, alright, enough nonsense.
Do you want to go to the edge of the galaxy and chat slowly, or do you want to chat here?” Bayle didn’t know whether to be speechless or relieved.
Ms.
Herta’s personality was more straightforward than he had imagined.
“Here is fine.
What do you want to chat about?” “Chat about the future you want to talk about, or chat about our third meeting?
Or perhaps…
you would rather chat about how a guy with a bone age of nineteen ended up walking on the Path of Nihility?” “…” Bayle was out of options.
Why doesn’t the system provide after-sales service???
Forget it, I’ll just have to bite the bullet and make something up.
“The galaxy doesn’t have rules about what age you can start walking a Path.
As for the reason for walking on the Path of Nihility…
I have no comment.” “Stop, stop, stop.” Ms.
Herta waved her hand, stopping this statement.
“I’m not interested in your past, and I don’t want to hear it.” Ms.
Herta leaped lightly from The Scepter, her high heels clicking crisply on the floor.
She walked up to Bayle and looked up to scrutinize him.
Although she didn’t have the advantage in height, her aura completely overwhelmed him.
“I only care about the present and the future.” Ms.
Herta’s fingertip lightly tapped Bayle’s chest.
“You, an Emanator of Nihility who appeared out of thin air, suddenly appeared on my Herta Space Station, and you even claim to have seen some of the future.” The Fourth Mirror drifted around on the side, its surface flashing with excited light: “Wow!
Is Ms.
Herta starting an interrogation?
Do you need me to prepare recording equipment?” “Quiet.” Ms.
Herta said without turning her head, and the mirror immediately fell silent.
Bayle felt the scrutiny in Ms.
Herta’s gaze and couldn’t help but smile.
Although he didn’t know why, Ms.
Herta was finally completely interested in him.
“So…
what do you want to know?” “Everything.” A playful smile tugged at the corner of Ms.
Herta’s mouth.
She knew.
Bayle would tell her everything.
“Then let’s start from the beginning.
Have you ever heard of the emperors scepter δ-me13?
But I believe even if you don’t know exactly which one that is, you probably understand what an emperors scepter is used for.” “This scepter was originally a neuron of Nous of [Erudition], responsible for calculating the equation of [Life First Cause].
Although it is unknown why it was abandoned later, The Scepter still remains to this day.” “And now, inside this scepter, Zandar, #1 of the Genius Society, has hidden a world.” “And that world is called [Amphoreus].”
