A chat group where you switch bodies with Alicia at the start?

"Besides, I sent her with Titan. How could those three possibly be a match for Titan!"

"Lady Cocolia, it's entirely possible!"

The subordinate quickly cupped his hands and explained:

"Although Lord Xing did have the upper hand at the beginning, that man named Jiang Qiao suddenly called out a girl named Youyou. With a swing of her wooden stick, lightning flashed and destroyed all the Titans that Lord Xing had brought with him! As a result, Lord Xing was captured!"

"I witnessed it all myself! There is absolutely no exaggeration!"

"Lightning...?"

After hearing these words, Cocolia's expression instantly became somewhat uncertain.

As the executor of entropy reversal, she wasn't as surprised as Kiana and Raiden Mei that humans could generate electricity.

What she was thinking was that someone with this ability could not possibly be the ordinary person she had previously thought of!

Moreover, according to his subordinates, the one named Youyou was not initially among the three; she was summoned by someone named Jiang Qiao.

In other words, the man named Jiang Qiao wasn't actually alone; he had some kind of powerful force behind him!

Damn, you were so careless!

Cocolia bit her lip tightly, her face turning ashen.

At that moment, a somewhat hoarse voice sounded behind her:

"It seems you've run into some trouble, Cocolia."

It's a gray snake.

As a swarm robot designed by Mebius, Grey Serpent has bodies all over the world, and Changkong City is no exception.

Cocolia didn't even glance at it, and angrily questioned, "You already knew?"

"It wasn't early, it was only two days ago."

Gray Serpent's answer instantly broke Cocolia's defenses.

Two days, roughly the same amount of time since the man named Jiang Qiao came into contact with Raiden Mei.

Why didn't you tell me!

"Watch your tone. I have no need to inform you. Besides... didn't you notice it from the beginning? It's just that you didn't take that man named Jiang Qiao to heart."

After expressing his displeasure, Gray Snake's hoarse voice carried a hint of helplessness:

"However, I don't really have the right to say that, since I only realized his purpose when that man led Raiden Mei and Siegfried's daughter toward the ME Corporation building."

"In this respect, we are actually the same."

They were all deceived by Jiang Qiao. Looking back at the man's actions, it was as if he knew someone was watching him. He deliberately compressed the attack into an extremely short period of time, leaving no room for reaction and catching Cocolia off guard.

Cocolia was silent for a moment, then asked:

What's behind that man named Jiang Qiao?

If it were a snake lurking in the shadows, it would probably know all about this, which is why it would have such thoughts.

But before the gray snake arrived, Cocolia actually suspected that the person named Jiang Qiao might be the snake.

Because it seems that only snakes can do this.

However, this idea was quickly disproven. After all, the plan to cause the collapse of Changkong City was a win-win situation for both parties, and the snake had no reason to do such underhanded things behind his back.

If she did, she wouldn't be standing here talking.

"I do not know."

"Is it because I don't know, or because I don't want to tell you?"

“I have no reason to lie to you. This world is vast, and perhaps a colossus is lurking in some corner of history.”

Of course, Gray Snake actually suspected that the man named Jiang Qiao came from outside the original world.

Although the things hidden in the shadows are indeed as vast as the sands of the Ganges, even the Archbishop of Destiny, who reigned for five hundred years, could not do what the other party did, leaving the snake with absolutely no way to break through.

"Then they're yours."

Although she was annoyed by her interactions with the snake, Cocolia had no choice but to compromise due to reality.

"Remember to bring my daughters back safely!"

In the past, she would never have backed down.

With proper preparation, what is a mere girl who can generate electricity? Cocolia has accumulated many trump cards over the years of civil war.

But that bastard Jiang Qiao was too cunning; he launched a swift attack that left me no time to react.

With Bronya and Apricot, her two most trusted lieutenants, removed, and with the local Titan forces insufficient in number and unable to be mobilized in time, Cocolia could only hope that Serpent would take care of the invaders.

"Hehe, you'll hear good news."

Gray Snake's hoarse voice was filled with confidence.

Unlike the useless Cocolia, even with such a short reaction time, the snake can easily devise a countermeasure.

Regardless of the true nature of the other party, the outcome was already predetermined the moment the snake made its move.

Meanwhile, in the night, a dark figure sped towards Changkong City.

She was a girl wearing a metal mask and a futuristic, form-fitting suit of armor.

Shadow Knight: Moonlit - A fourth-generation Valkyrie armor developed by Schicksal Headquarters based on the Blank Key excavated from the ruins of a previous civilization. It is a special weapon that can grant the wearer extremely strong close combat and aerial combat capabilities.

And its wearer was none other than Fu Hua, a young and beautiful freshman from St. Freya Academy, probably eighteen... at least her figure was that of a mature young woman from Shenzhou.

Compared to the headquarters of Destiny, which is far away in the Mediterranean, St. Freya Academy, which is also located in the Far East, is undoubtedly closer. So after sending Rita, Otto, out of concern, also entrusted his old friend to investigate the situation.

To avoid attracting the attention of his beloved granddaughter, Otto even had Fu Hua use Shadow Knight: Luna's flight ability to fly directly from St. Freya to Changkong City—the total time took no more than two hours.

"The Honkai energy reaction in this city..."

Upon arriving in Changkong City and removing her mask, Fu Hua immediately sensed the city's unusual atmosphere and frowned deeply.

Because of the Void Sword Qi, she is extremely sensitive to Honkai energy floating in the air.

In the past, Fu Hua has visited this city before.

But the feeling she had about Changkong City back then was completely different from how she felt about it now!

If this level continues and increases further, this city will likely become the epicenter of a major collapse before long.

"Is this why Otto sent me here?"

Otto didn't give her the specific details, but looking at the city that had changed so much, she subconsciously made the connection, and—

Looking at the image of the young man captured by satellite on the projection in front of him, Fu Hua subconsciously clenched his fist.

"—Is the rise in Honkai energy related to this person?"

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Will you choose this baseball bat or Alicia?

With Annie bound hand and foot, Kiana pressed a baseball bat against her face and threatened her fiercely:

"Tell me quickly, where is Cocolia, or I'll get rough with you!"

"Hmph, who wants to tell you! Kill me or torture me, I'll take it all. Don't think I'm easily intimidated!"

Xing, who was tied up, turned her head away, her face full of stubbornness.

Although Xing's appearance did give them a general idea of ​​the location of the underground base passage.

However, it would be unwise to recklessly rush in when Cocolia had already realized the situation, so Alicia and the others tried to learn something from the prisoner in their hands.

However, it's clear that the results were not good.

If it were the Erguotou sisters, it might be okay, but neither Xing nor Bronya are the type to be coerced by force, not to mention that they really have no deterrent power at all.

Forget about anything funny, who are you trying to scare by putting a baseball bat here?

"Ahh! I'm so angry!"

Kiana was clearly angered by An's attitude and mocking gaze, and made a move to swing her bat at An, but was stopped by Mei in the next moment. During this time, she was still struggling and shouting:

"Mei, don't stop me! I'm going to beat this short, shark-mouthed bastard to death!"

"Forget it, it won't do any good even if you hit her."

Alicia sighed and also tried to dissuade her.

Unfortunately, none of the people present were the type to be ruthless enough to use torture to extract confessions.

Even Kiana, who was shouting that she would kill Anzu, would definitely hold back when she actually did it.

Sometimes, a girl's gentleness can really be a constraint.

However, seeing the stubborn Anzu, Alicia still wanted to give it a try.
