20demayo Chapter 51 No, you're not number 54
Chapter 51 No, you're not number 54
The day of the exam finally arrived.
Rita arrived early as well, and she and Theresa came to the assessment site together.
Chen Feng was surrounded by a group of girls, while Ji Zi was looking at Chen Feng's file. She thought about the words "Valkyrie" on it but ultimately decided not to cross them out.
Valkyrie it is.
While waiting for the assessment to begin, Theresa took the opportunity to introduce some of the more outstanding students in this year's class to Rita.
When her gaze fell upon Chen Feng, she involuntarily shut her mouth, her face filled with hesitation.
Because she didn't know if her grandfather had noticed Chen Feng.
Rita followed the other person's gaze and looked towards Chen Feng, only to see that Chen Feng was surrounded by many people who interested her.
Or rather, someone His Excellency the Bishop cares about very much.
Rita smiled gracefully, "Lady Theresa, I'll go say hello to them."
Upon hearing Rita's words, Theresa was taken aback at first, then sighed resignedly.
It seems that Grandpa already knew about Chen Feng.
His unique assessment had already been noticed.
Theresa knew that it was no use for her to stop her, so she had no choice but to accompany Rita to Chen Feng's place.
At this moment, Kiana, who had been sleeping quietly for several days, was chatting animatedly with the people around her.
When she saw Theresa approaching with a woman she didn't recognize, she stopped, reached out and nudged Chen Feng to indicate that someone had come from behind.
When Chen Feng saw Kiana's gaze, he turned his head to look at her.
Rita and Theresa appeared behind him without him noticing.
He was taken aback at first, then smiled and said, "Headmistress, Lady Rita, is there something you need from me?"
Rita looked at Chen Feng with great interest.
Hmm, he's an interesting person.
"It seems you recognize me."
"Of course, I know all the S-rank Valkyries of Destiny. After all, they are all renowned figures. It would be hard not to know them."
Rita was now even more interested in him.
No wonder the bishop asked her to observe him closely.
"Your name is Chen Feng, right? It's an honor to meet you."
I've heard so much about you?
The people next to him turned their heads to look at Chen Feng with obvious doubt in their eyes.
Do you know anyone like this?
Chen Feng's eyes flickered slightly.
He was certain that he and Rita had never met. If the other party said that, it was certain that Otto had mentioned him to Rita and asked her to keep an eye on him.
Chen Feng's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to smile, "You flatter me. I am just a student, how could I possibly be worthy of your attention?"
However, there's something I'd like to say to Rita privately. Would it be possible if we moved aside for a moment?
Rita didn't refuse; she was also curious about what the other person wanted to say.
So, amidst the suspicious gazes of the others, the two left.
After leaving, Kiana and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Is there some kind of affair between them?"
"Lady Rita is the examiner. If anyone hears you say that, don't blame me for failing the exam."
"I was just saying it casually, it's not that serious, is it?"
"Bronya also felt something was wrong. Judging from Chen Feng's expression and Rita's expression, the two had obviously never met before, but they both knew of each other's existence. Now that they were talking alone, it only intensified Bronya's suspicions."
"Alright, you bunch of brats, they might be having serious business, so stop guessing. Especially you, Kiana, did you even pass your theory class?"
Kiana felt guilty after Theresa's words and shrank her neck, stuck out her tongue, and then turned to look at Chen Feng and Rita.
So she asked Kiana in a low voice.
Is there something wrong between the two of them?
Upon witnessing this scene, Kiana softly said, "There are some problems, but with your current abilities, knowing them won't help."
"What? I'm so strong now, how could knowing this be of no use!"
"This is not something you can access right now. You should focus on the upcoming assessment. You'll find out everything about him soon enough."
Kiana looked at Rita and Chen Feng, who were chatting, with a complicated expression.
She knew perfectly well what the other person was talking about this time.
In fact, not only Kiana, but also Mei, Bronya, and even Seele, all knew very well what Chen Feng was going to tell Rita this time.
At this moment, a look of heartache welled up in the eyes of all of them.
He wanted to use that past that had caused him immense heartbreak and despair as a bargaining chip in his deal with Oto.
That is……
"I was the 54th test subject in Babylon."
Chen Feng calmly told Rita these words.
Rita's pupils contracted slightly upon hearing this; this was the first time she had come into contact with someone who had experienced the accident firsthand.
No wonder His Holiness the Bishop told me to pay close attention to the other person.
He was a survivor of that accident.
His special qualities were probably the result of the experiments conducted at the time.
Seeing that Rita remained silent, Chen Feng did not speak further.
He did indeed escape from there.
However, it's not my current self, but my self before I traveled through time.
The original self had already died in that experiment, and this person was merely a survivor from another world.
He no longer has much memory of the original experiment.
He never actively recalls the past.
He wouldn't have chosen to reveal this if it weren't for Rita acting as an intermediary to contact Otto.
If Otto knew his origins, he would definitely shift some of his vigilance and try to contact him through other means.
After all, Otto, who had experienced that accident, knew very well.
That way, he won't show himself on his own initiative.
This is good for both Chen Feng and Otto right now.
After regaining her senses, Rita's face returned to its usual elegance, and she exclaimed in surprise, "I see. I will report this matter truthfully."
So, do you still want to participate in this assessment?
After all, the assessment being conducted now is the Valkyrie assessment of destiny.
And since the other party is a survivor who emerged from the disgraceful incident of Destiny, they must harbor some resentment towards Destiny.
Rita was just asking politely.
If the other party is unwilling, she can mediate.
"No need, I will participate in the assessment as usual, so there's no need for Lady Rita to trouble herself."
After confirming the matter, Rita breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems the other party knows who's behind them.
Moreover, the other party also wanted to communicate with His Holiness the Bishop.
That's why they release such bombshell news to gain trust and cooperation.
Since that's the case, let's continue as usual.
When I get back this time, I'll report this matter to His Holiness the Bishop.
After Chen Feng walked back, Rita stood still in the same spot.
Rita's headset was always on, and the other end was Otto's office.
After listening to the entire conversation, Otto picked up his wine glass and slowly spoke into the empty room.
"Number 54... No, you are not Number 54, Number 54 is already dead."
"So, you are now Chen Feng."
"Now you are a descendant of Shaniat."
"Am I right, my future collaborator?"
Otto took a sip of red wine, while Cecilia's image was displayed on the computer screen in front of him.
