"We are friends, Headmaster won't eat you, but if you die, to keep us together forever, then I can eat you, can't I?"
Hearing Theresa say such words.
Lucas realized he might have reached a dead end.
"If it really doesn't work... I can try spraying bug spray."
"See if a different smell will work."
Doing so certainly carried risks.
But Lucas couldn't care less now. He withdrew one hand from inside the doll costume to grope for the bug spray.
Theresa merely cupped the Homu's comical large head with both hands, not stopping him.
Soon...
Accompanied by a hissing sound.
The bug spray emitted a large amount of misty droplets.
A pungent smell emanated from inside the large yellow Homu.
"What did you do?"
The Headmaster suddenly sat up. She frowned, her expression displeased.
Lucas remained expressionless and said, "I'm sorry... Theresa, I let out a string of farts."
The clumsy lie did not work.
The sprayed bug spray infuriated the other party.
"You don't smell good anymore, you don't smell good anymore, you stink! You stink!"
Theresa became agitated.
Lucas realized something was wrong.
The next second...
Theresa stretched out both hands and forcefully tore open the large yellow Homu costume, revealing Lucas, whose eyes were twitching slightly, and said, "You don't smell good anymore, you don't smell good anymore... Hehehehe... Headmaster must wash you clean."
The worst outcome had occurred.
When the outer shell of the Homu costume was torn open, Lucas was completely defenseless. He was exposed before the Headmaster like a lamb to the slaughter.
Just then, Theresa giggled, "Hehehe... you bad student! Bad student..."
"You stink."
"Must wash clean."
"From the inside out, from top to bottom."
"Must wash clean little by little..."
Hearing such words.
How could Lucas not realize that he had already been exposed during their previous conversation?
"A sober Theresa is indeed not so easy to fool..."
"Since she already knew... why did Headmaster still play along with me? Was it fun? Or was it that the Homu costume could make her nostalgic for the past..."
"Lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha instantly."
"Acting now is entirely my own doing."
"But if I don't do anything, the probability of leaving... is also minuscule."
Lucas thought of many things in an instant.
In this situation, he most likely had no way out.
"Calm down... calm down." Lucas looked at Theresa, who was straddling his waist. "Even if I die, I must extract a little more information. Only then will it not be a wasted trip."
In St. Freya Academy (Reverse World Version).
Every time he was about to die, it was the best time to gather information.
For example, in the last reincarnation.
If Lucas had immediately committed suicide the moment Judah ran away, he could indeed have avoided a lot of pain.
But he wouldn't have been able to get the information left by the Tsundere Redhead Onee-san.
Nor would he have been able to see the Headmaster in Honkai Collapse.
To enjoy, one must pay the price.
Lucas looked directly at Theresa, covering his chest with both hands, and said, "Were you playing along with me just now?"
"Playing along?" Theresa couldn't control the smile on her face. Her face was distorted, her mouth was curving upwards wildly, and saliva was dripping from her chin. "It's not important, not important at all."
Lucas's chest was wet with saliva.
The Ogre—Theresa let out a wild laugh.
A pair of small hands began to tear at the man's clothes.
"This is very important to me, hey!"
Seeing that Theresa didn't say anything valuable.
Amidst the wild laughter, Lucas continued to press, since his true identity had been exposed, he didn't care anymore.
He immediately asked a heavy question.
"Theresa, what exactly is the purpose of hyperion's key?"
"Why do you protect it?"
"Also... can you trigger a Honkai Collapse?"
"Can you use Divine Grace Barrier?"
These series of questions.
Lucas had been holding them in for a long time, and now that he had blurted them out, he felt his body and mind relax.
Compared to Lucas's comfort.
Theresa could be said to be not pleased at all.
"Headmaster can certainly use Divine Grace Barrier."
"That's my proud trump card."
"Wait... why should Headmaster explain to you, you bad student!"
"Mmm mmm mmm... Ah ah ah ah ah ah! You're so annoying!"
Theresa's blue eyes turned red.
Lucas's pupils constricted. He had originally planned to say something else.
But the Headmaster gave him no chance. She chopped him on the neck with a hand, knocking him unconscious.
Hearing the squelching sound from below.
Judah silently shook its head.
In a coma.
Lucas had a nightmare. He dreamed that he was entangled by a giant vacuum cleaner. The machine was running at full power, devouring everything, as if even his three souls and seven spirits were about to be sucked away. The scene was terrifying.
After an unknown amount of time...
When Lucas woke up, he was completely stripped naked.
He saw the familiar metallic ceiling.
"It's Hyperion. Has Theresa tied me here again? My whole body is numb, so it seems I've been given an anesthetic. I can't control my body at all."
Lucas gently let out a breath.
If nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely be eaten clean by Theresa.
This time was different from the last reincarnation.
Lucas hadn't had Mei's late-night snack in advance, so dying violently was impossible. He could only watch helplessly as Theresa turned his body into a delicious dish.
In the ninety-nine reincarnations.
Similar things had happened more than once.
Lucas had also made many efforts for this, such as making poisons, time bombs, and other methods.
Unfortunately, the effects were not good.
Limited by materials and technology.
The poisons Lucas made couldn't kill instantly. They were too slow to take effect if eaten immediately, and eating them in advance would affect his physical condition.
Even the Valkyrie's Honkai Energy had the effect of removing toxins.
It was quite frustrating.
This was also why Lucas's anesthetics usually only made the Valkyrie sleep for a few minutes.
It was all the versatile Honkai Energy at work.
For Lucas.
Only potent, instantly fatal poisons would be more effective.
To obtain such poisons.
He had to rely on Mei and Pardofelis.
It was impossible to get them through ordinary means.
Time bombs were similar to poisons; the raw materials and technological barriers were insurmountable obstacles.
Without the help of materials and equipment, Lucas had no way to craft this item by hand; he was not like Vielvie, after all, there was a difference between humans and Green-haired Mechanical Girls.
… … … … … …
The floating battleship—Hyperion.
Ai Yi sat on the sofa in the monitoring room, leaning back lazily, her red eyes fixed on the screen, her expression cold, like a distant goddess, giving off an intimidating aura that kept people away, a completely different demeanor from when she faced Lucas.
The monitoring screen showed the Hyperion's main control cabin.
Lucas lay naked on the dining table.
The Headmaster stared intently from not far away.
Like a beast poised to strike, or a hunter waiting for its prey.
