Chapter 569 Searching for the Missing Walter Yang
April 4, 27:13, Saint-Fontaine-New-Moor district.
Mei (collapsed later) and team member Adam sorted out the existing information.
Mei Raiden (later collapsed) opened the private link of the Destiny Database and displayed "On April 4th - 13 days ago, Mr. Walter Young left ETStudio where he worked at the invitation of the Saint Fontaine government. It is said that this was a [business trip]."
"He arrived at Cairo airport on the 15th and then took the trolley train to Saint-Fontaine."
"The satellite of the Destiny satellite captured a man who looked like him getting off the train at Saad Station, and then he disappeared... He did not send any information to the outside world, and no surveillance camera captured his whereabouts."
"The mission of our third team is to find Walter Yang and send him back to the Destiny Headquarters safely."
[Walter Yang] "!"
[Einstein] "What's wrong? Such a big reaction?"
[Walter Yang] "It's okay. It's a subconscious reaction. Think about it. The Otto people will no longer be there in eight years. Anti-Entropy should also merge with Destiny again."
[Bronya] "No matter what, Mei-nee-san isn't the kind of person who would take you back."
[Kiana] "That's right!"
[Walter Yang] "I'm sorry, in the past, if someone told me that they would send me back to the Destiny headquarters safely, I would definitely think that Otto had bad intentions."
[Otto] "Old friend, you misunderstood me. I, Otto, never lie. If I say I will send it back safely, then I will send it back safely. There will never be any mistakes along the way."
【Tesla】"Bah! Who would believe your words and deeds?"
[Otto] "Wow... I thought my tree-rushing video would change your opinion of me, but I didn't expect..."
[Siegfried] "Only a dead Otto can be considered a good Otto."
[Walter Young] "Plus one."
【Tesla】“Plus one.”
【Einstein】“Plus one.”

After Adam learned about Walter Young and Saint Fontaine from his captain, the smile on Mei's face faded. "...When I first received this mission, I was quite optimistic."
"Mr. Walter often disappeared in the past, but he always came back safe and sound. He is a person who can't sit still. When fighting Honkai, he always appeared at the most dangerous front line."
"Although he is a Herrscher, he is also a very reliable comrade and partner of ours. But... after arriving in this city, I found that things might not be as simple as expected."
"Besides the big guy in the sky, there are many other unusual things in this city. What do you think?"
Adam replied, "The satellite image is normal, but there is no one in the city."
Mei (later collapsed) nodded. "You have a keen eye for observation. That's what I noticed. ... Tianming used satellites to scan almost every inch of Saint Fontaine beforehand, but found nothing."
"From the images, this city looks very normal, but when I actually came here, I found that there were no people, no life, only false digital prosperity."
"And the invisible barrier that allows entry but not exit, the blocked electronic signals... they were all set up by someone to hide this city and completely isolate it from the outside world."
"Who has such ability? This has been hidden from almost the entire world."
Mei (collapsed) thought, "But...if that's the case, then it's a bit strange."
Adam guessed, "Walter Young's arrival?"
Mei (collapsed) "Well, if someone wants to conceal the true situation of this city, then he shouldn't deliberately attract Mr. Walter's attention."
"There is nothing suspicious about his public identity, and there is nothing worth exploiting. Unless... the people who kidnapped him were attracted by his [previous identity]?"
Although Mei (later collapsed) said this, the actual situation of the city was far different from what they thought, and there were no clues at all.
Mei (later collapsed) plans to use this place as a temporary base, and then go outside with Adam to collect intelligence.
During the investigation, Adam and Mei (later collapsed) were attacked by some unknown creatures.
That was not a Honkai beast, but a creature that they had never seen before. It was extremely hostile to them and anyone who got close would be attacked.
Although these enemies were not difficult opponents for Adam and Mei (later collapsed), they also made them realize that this mission was not easy.
[Himeko] "It seems that this future male student of Saint Freya is quite powerful."
[Kiana] "Of course! He is Mei's man."
[Bronya] "But the strange creature that I've never seen in the video is not a Honkai beast. Bronya thinks it's more like a dead soldier."
[Wei Wei (Elysian Land)] "Their body structure is very similar to that of humans. Rather than being a product of nature or science, they are more like a monster created by a young child in a nightmare, made up of all kinds of strange things."
After the initial investigation, Mei (later collapsed) believed that the abnormal phenomena in Saint Fontaine were directly related to the Sky Island, and passed the collected information to the Sky Headquarters.
Then Mei (later Honkai) and Adam followed the instructions of the current Bishop of Destiny, Theresa, and took all the Honkai energy detection devices to a flat high ground to assemble them into an array.
Mei (collapsed later) "Dr. Einstein has an idea. I discussed it with the bishop and we think it might work."
"The doctor believes that Mr. Walter's position can be directly located by detecting Honkai energy."
"Based on current technology, the detectors we carry can detect objects in an array at their maximum range of about 80 kilometers in radius... which is about 1/12 of the city area."
Adam: “Not nearly enough, is it?”
Mei (collapsed) "Yes, unless we wait for Carol to come back and add the device she is equipped to the array. That way we can expand the range to the entire Saint Fontaine. But that's not the point..."
Adam “Worried about too many test results?”
Mei (later collapse) "Yes, the bishop has the same doubts. Although 99% of the collapse energy has been sealed on the moon after the Great Collapse... there is still a very thin energy scattered all over the earth."
"Although they pose no threat at all, there are still a lot of them. If we activate the detector like this, all we will get is a map of the distribution of Honkai energy in Saint Fontaine."
Therefore, what they want to detect is not simply Honkai energy but the energy of the Herrscher.
[Kiana] "It turns out that not all Honkai energy has disappeared from the earth. There is still 1% of Honkai energy."
[Alicea] "But this is also a big step for mankind."
