"Toot ~ Toot ~ 'Toot"

"Hey, who's that?"

The call was answered, and it was a woman's voice inside.

"Long time no see......"

Hearing the voice coming from the phone, Otto deliberately used a softer voice.

"You...... Bishop Otto? ”

The other side of the phone hesitated for a moment, as if checking in on the memories in his own mind.

"Why don't you call directly from the headquarters?"

It didn't matter why Otto knew her private number, and the person on the other end of the line was more concerned with the purpose of Otto's move.

"Oh, some people's reasons"

Sneering, Otto's words were clearly illogical. Why do I have to worry more about leaks when I use a channel dedicated to the Ministry than when I make an international call?

"I'll be going to the North American branch in the near future"

Tapping on the table with a special rhythm, Otto delivered such a message

"If this kind of thing happens, you can just call Planck."

I thought so inwardly, but the blue-haired girl on the other end of the phone didn't think Otto would do such a meaningless thing.

"Understood, I'll arrange it."

Hanging up, Otto leaned back on the couch behind him.

The meaning you want to convey has been expressed, and if you don't understand it, you can only wonder if you are a dummy.

"I've been close to knowing your little moves, so I'd better settle down in the near future. You can't have the discoveries in the ruins alone. ”

With a long exhale, he would never allow the power in his hands to betray, even if it was only a trivial sign.

The full name of the person he spoke to was Nancy Thomas Alva Edison, and he was an investor in the establishment of the North American branch of Destiny, the actual person in charge of the North American branch, and the ostensible identity of an arms dealer.

On the other side, New York Airport

"Dr. Einstein, Dr. Tesla."

A few people waiting at the airport for a connecting flight to Chicago encountered several uninvited guests dressed in black.

"May I ask who you are......"

Elias, the only male of the few, stood alertly in front of the two ladies

(Val/T: MMP, labor and management are also male)

"Dr. Einstein, we should have met."

A middle-aged man in the lead said in a hoarse voice.

"Yes." The girl with messy hair said in her usual calm voice, "What are you doing? ”

"Bishop hopes this thing will help you."

As he spoke, the man took out a scroll box from the package he was carrying and handed it to the Finn Elias

"You're an expert in paleographies. Then you should recognize this. ”

"Hmm......"

Puzzled, he opened the wooden box, revealing a tattered piece of parchment that seemed to have been recently repaired.

"This ...... Could it be the Dead Sea Papers? But I've never seen anything like it. ”

"Hehe, sure enough, you know" the middle-aged man smiled with satisfaction.

"Yes, as you can see, the organization has not yet published the contents of this part of the document, and I hope it will be helpful to you in your research."

"So, Bishop, what does he need us to do?"

Tesla was still vigilant, and asked in a dissatisfied tone.

"It's nothing, Master Otto just wants to help you."

“……”

—————— Dividing Line——————

It's 8 a.m. and the location is Vienna International Airport.

In order to avoid people's eyes, Otto did not take a special plane, but became a tourist abroad.

(PS: The technological development of the Honkai World is still very fast)

His golden hair had been hidden by a wig, and his brown-black hair and his appearance of only looking in his 20s were still very deceptive.

Maybe in the eyes of others, he is a student who is about to go abroad.

In order not to look embarrassed, Otto brought a large package, although the contents were really useless.

Passing through the ticket gates, Otto boarded the plane for direct flight to New York.

Edison waited for Otto at the exit of the airport, even though she understood the meaning of Otto's words.

Getting off the plane is not a pleasant feeling of flying in the sky for a day.

It was already the second day, and as soon as Otto walked out of the airport, he saw Edison standing in the crowd.

It's no wonder that after all, the other party's blue hair is too eye-catching, and she is still wearing men's clothes!!!

Looking at the other party's way of looking around, it was obvious that they didn't recognize themselves.

Walking straight to the other party, this unusual move obviously attracted the attention of the other party.

"You should have arranged a place to stay."

Pulling open the door, Otto sat inside.

"Yes."

In the co-pilot's seat, the men's beauty motioned for her bodyguard to drive.

"This time, I plan to camp directly near the ruins, and the journey will take about an hour, so if you have any orders, please feel free to say so."

Ripped the wig off his head, Otto asked.

"I see, so let's make sure that the ruins were found in Yellowstone Lake."

"Yes"

“……”

Yellowstone National Park is the first nature reserve in human history. The centerpiece of the park is Yellowstone Lake, the main vent of the Yellowstone supervolcano.

The volcano's energy is enormous – if it erupts, it will bring ash that will cause the average global temperature to drop by about 10° that year.

Most people may not feel much about it, but that doesn't mean it's a small thing.

First, the vast majority of tropical or subtropical crops in the year of the disaster are at risk of failure. If not handled properly, famine and plague will spread in many countries.

Maybe it's just a dessert prepared by Honkai for the extinction of humanity.

But thankfully, for the vast majority of people, this is only a lifetime.

Holding his head and looking at the hurried images flashing outside the car window, Otto's mind couldn't help but diverge.

…………

"There are many different ways to destroy Honkai. The Ice Age, the Black Death, and the World Wars all have the shadow of collapse. ”

Posing as a lecturer, the red-haired double ponytail came to the waist and continued to add

"Far from it, according to the analysis of Hitler's remaining bones, it is very likely that he was eroded by Honkai."

"Did you find anything?"

Ignoring Tesla's science talk to Valt, Einstein walked over to the Finn.

"The presence of carbon-14 was not detected in the samples, which means that the last human activity in the ancient ruins was around 50,000 BC......"

………………

"Snap"

With the sound of the car door closing, Otto stretched widely.

Looking at the area north of the parking lot that marked the "Duck Lake", it was clear to Otto that this was where the ruins were found.

At this moment, Einstein and others, who had completed the preliminary investigation, also rushed to the place.
