Collapse: The opening system captures the Herrscher of Knowledge

"As expected, the clone F114 still only retains vital signs, but has no consciousness at all. It is like a shell with nothing but a shell."

Otto stared solemnly at the young man lying quietly in the huge transparent culture chamber in front of him, and thought secretly in his heart.

Although on the surface this F114 clone was somewhat similar to the former K423, upon closer inspection, Otto keenly noticed that there seemed to be some subtle differences hidden therein.

Prior to this, he had tried many times to imitate the way he treated K423 and implanted the Serenity Gem into the bodies of F109, F110 and F111 in the hope of awakening their dormant consciousness.

However, the reality went against one's will. Because the body's resistance and adaptability to Honkai energy were too weak, it could not withstand the energy of the Serenity Gem and fell apart. All these efforts ultimately ended in a miserable failure without exception.

While Otto was absorbed in analyzing past experimental data and thinking deeply about the current dilemma...

Suddenly, the boy who had his eyes closed slowly opened them without any warning!

The pair of golden eyes as clear as water looked straight at Otto who was concentrating on thinking below. His eyes were full of confusion and bewilderment. He blinked a few times like a child who just woke up. It was obvious that he felt very unfamiliar and puzzled about the environment he was in at the moment.

"Am I not at St. Freya's College? Why... is Otto here? What is this body...?!"

Such a question flashed through Fu Ming's mind for a moment, and then he began to move his eyes quickly to look at everything around him.

When he finally realized that he was actually in a closed container, he suddenly understood something.

At the same time, a mouthful of cold liquid suddenly choked into his mouth, catching him off guard.

Fu Ming subconsciously reached out and covered his mouth tightly, trying to prevent more water from entering his throat, but his body involuntarily began to struggle violently.

This sudden change immediately attracted Otto's attention. He looked up at Fu Ming in the incubator with a hint of surprise on his face.

Without any hesitation, Otto rushed to the culture chamber in two steps and began to operate it quickly and skillfully with his hands.

Accompanied by a slight mechanical sound, the hatch of the incubator slowly opened, and Fu Ming inside finally saw the light of day again.

Otto's face was full of excitement, his eyes flashing with anticipation. He couldn't wait to take a step forward and stretched out his hands to catch Fu Ming who had just been freed.

"It actually worked this time... hmmm!"

Before Otto finished speaking, there was a crisp "clang" sound.

At this time, Fu Ming was shaking his fist, which had turned red, in pain, while gritting his teeth and cursing:

"Otto, damn, that's hard!"

Hearing Fu Ming's curse, Otto did not get angry. Instead, he stood where he was, looking up and down at the young man in front of him with interest.

After a long while, Otto finally asked:

"Do you have any memories?"

Hearing Otto's question, Fu Ming was stunned for a moment, and then a "very smart" expression immediately appeared on his face.

Fu Ming opened his mouth, but no clear sound came out. Instead, a series of unclear "Aba Aba Aba Aba..." came out of his mouth.

Seeing Fu Ming's appearance, Otto couldn't help but twitch his mouth, and said helplessly:

"My friend, and you are naked now~"

Fu Ming's expression instantly became serious, but his cheeks flushed slightly. He shyly covered his body with his hands and said with a slightly angry tone:

"Tsk, what on earth do you want to do? And bring me some clothes!"

Hearing this, Otto couldn't help but burst into laughter. He stretched out his hand without hesitation and directly hugged Fu Ming's shoulders, who was one body away from him. With a warm and cheerful smile on his face, he said cheerfully:

"Oh my, don't be so formal! Maybe I'm not as bad as you think. How about this, let's go take a comfortable bath together?"

However, Fu Ming felt very uncomfortable with Otto's sudden intimate behavior. He felt a chill all over his body and goose bumps were almost all over the floor.

So, Fu Ming frowned and said in a warning tone:

"Otto, please hold your hand. For someone like you, I think it's better to maintain a certain sense of boundaries!"

Seeing this, Otto shrugged helplessly and said, pretending to be hurt:

"Oh, how can you say that? It really makes me sad! Although I ripped out your heart, I have resurrected you now, haven't I?

But then again, look at all the liquid on your body. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable if you don't take a bath and clean it up?"

After saying this, Otto had a faint smile on his face.

Fu Ming certainly didn't believe this and said:

"Resurrect me? I think you have other intentions."

Immediately afterwards, Otto turned and left the dim little room. Not long after, he appeared in front of Fu Ming again, holding a neat bathrobe in his hand.

Otto handed the bathrobe to Fu Ming, laughed dryly, and said:

"Hahaha, let's go, we can just take a bath in the spacious and comfortable bathroom and talk about our thoughts at the same time, isn't that a wonderful thing?"

After saying this, Otto led Fu Ming into his own private bathroom.

.......

In the bathroom, Otto changed out of his bishop's robes and simply wrapped a large bath towel around his lower body. The towel was tied loosely around his waist, as if it would slip off at any time.

But Otto's eyes were fixed on Fu Ming, who had curled up in a corner of the hot spring pool. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of friendly smile, and he said slowly:

"Don't be so formal. I really want to make friends with you.

It's just that our previous few encounters were not very smooth, and there were many unpleasant episodes in between, which led to some deviations and misunderstandings in your impression of me. "

Hearing Otto's words, Fu Ming's mouth twitched several times involuntarily, his face full of undisguised anger, and he shouted angrily:

"Shut up!"

Otto shook his head gently and uttered a low and light laugh, the true meaning of which was hard to fathom. He only said softly:

"Okay~"

For a moment, the atmosphere became awkward and tense. The two of them just soaked in the pool quietly, and no one spoke anymore.

But despite this, Fu Ming could still clearly feel Otto's gaze on him. This gaze made him feel uncomfortable and as if he was sitting on pins and needles. He slowly buried half of his head in the water.

At this moment, Otto suddenly stood up, breaking the brief silence. He shook his wet blond hair and said in a calm tone:

"We can't soak for too long, let's go upstairs."

After saying this, Otto walked towards the pool.

Seeing this, Fu Ming quickly stood up and prepared to leave the pool. When he walked to Otto, perhaps because the ground was too slippery, his feet slipped and he lost his balance and fell forward.

At this critical moment, out of instinct, he waved his hands wildly in the air, trying to grab something to stabilize his body.

As a result, in a panic, he grabbed the towel around Otto's waist and pulled it hard...

With a "rustling" sound, Otto's bath towel was pulled off and fell to the ground.

At this time, Otto was completely exposed to the air, without any cover. Fu Ming finally crawled up from the ground in a mess. He looked up and the scene in front of him made him laugh out loud.

It turned out that although Otto had a body made of soul steel, the triangular area below was empty and there was nothing.

So, Fu Ming smiled and joked:

"Otto, why don't you build a ** for this soul steel body? Haha..."

Facing Fu Ming's ridicule, Otto seemed very calm and composed. He picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on slowly, adjusted his collar, and then answered calmly:

"It's not necessary."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the bathroom.

Fu Ming curled his lips in boredom, then put on his clothes and walked out of the bathroom. Then, at Otto's signal, he was free to move around the Sinister Headquarters.
