Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

A pair of women's high-heeled leather shoes stepped on the somewhat worn stone floor. Even though it was daily clothes, the upper body still had a maid style, while the lower body was wrapped in a black hip skirt, and a rose was embroidered on the tie on the chest.

The whole person exudes an air of elegance.

Rita gently lifted the hair beside her ears and looked at the familiar street scene with a hint of nostalgia.

"It's been a long time since I've been back."

As she walked, Rita came to a lawn where a girl with long wavy light blonde hair that reached her ankles was playing football with a group of students who looked like junior high school students.

Since the long hair is tied up with a black ribbon, there is no need to worry about the hairstyle becoming messy.

However, the girl seemed to have not controlled the strength well, and the football was kicked into the air in an instant, but due to the obstruction of the sun, no trace of it could be seen.

"Wow?!"

"Sorry, sorry, I accidentally used too much force, are you guys hurt?"

These students did not feel resentful about the football being kicked away. Instead, they asked the girl in surprise how they could kick the football as well as she did.

The girl had not received any direct training in football skills, so she naturally did not know how to teach any skills. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply: "As long as you practice hard, you will definitely be able to do it in the future."

"Hello again, Bianca."

Jiang Ming suddenly came to Youlandel with the kicked football and returned the football to the children, and Rita also came to them.

"Jiang Ming, Rita?!"

It was obvious that Youlandel had not reacted yet. Seeing this, Rita and Jiang Ming looked at each other and then took her to a nearby bench to sit down and start chatting.

Jiang Ming looked at Youlandel who was sitting in the middle and spoke first.

"I didn't expect you, Bianca, to choose to come to England for vacation. Are you worried about me and Rita?"

Yulandel was stunned when she heard this, but when she saw Rita's expression which also showed that she wanted to know the reason, she couldn't help but curl her lips.

"Jiang Ming is fine, but Rita, have you forgotten that I said a year ago that if I had the chance, I would definitely come to England to have a look. It just so happens that I have the time now."

"That's it..."

"In that case, please allow me to be your tour guide and show you around."

"Eh......?" ×2

Yulandel broke out in a cold sweat as she watched Rita suddenly become excited.

"Rita, you guys still have a mission, right? Is it really okay for you to accompany me instead of going directly to the mission location?"

"There are still three hours and forty-five minutes until the meeting. Don't worry, there is plenty of time."

"It doesn't matter whether I do this mission or not..."

Hearing this, Youlandel stood up and walked in front of the two of them, put her right hands on her waist, looked up at the sky and said.

"Then...I'll leave it to you, Rita."

"As ordered."

.....................

In the following time, the three visited the Sherlock Holmes Museum, Big Ben, and the Tower Bridge of London, and finally settled in an open-air restaurant near Borough Market.

This is London's largest and oldest food market, and is the perfect place for lunch.

Jiang Ming and Youlandel were eating Vienna sausages and steaks with their knives and forks while listening to Rita introduce the history of London.

"By the way, what do you think of the food in this restaurant?"

Rita stopped recording, looked up at Jiang Ming and asked.

"Well, it's OK, but if you make it, Rita, it might taste better."

"Uh-huh."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Isn't that a bit disrespectful to the store owner?"

Although she had a polite smile on her face, the slightly raised corners of her mouth still revealed the maid's happy mood at the moment.

After a while, when Yulandel and Jiang Ming finished their lunch, Rita handed a notebook to Yulandel.

"I have sorted out all the nearby scenic spots for you. I hope it can be of some reference to you, Lord Yulandel."

Seeing this, Yulandel took the notebook and shook it.

"Then I'll just wander around on my own. You guys need to finish your mission early. I'll let you continue to accompany me on vacation."

"I will try my best to finish it as quickly as possible."

"Ah! Wait a minute, Bianca."

Jiang Ming suddenly called out to Youlandel who had turned around and was about to leave, but the moment she turned to face Jiang Ming, Jiang Ming lifted her face and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

“————?!”

"I ate in a hurry. Look, there are still food residues in the corners of my mouth...Okay, it's ok now."

"Oh...oh...then...I'll go first then."

"Well, have fun and relax."

"understood."

Not sure if it was an illusion or something, Yulandel's figure quickly disappeared from his sight. Jiang Ming turned his head to look at Rita, but she had an intriguing expression on her face, but Jiang Ming did not suspect anything.

"Well, Miss Rita, it's probably about time for us to leave now."

"......Yeah, that's true."

Chapter 155: % Strength

The British Museum.

Since Jiang Ming and Rita arrived early, they had to wait outside the museum.

Fortunately, this didn't last long. Before Jiang Ming was about to get bored, a voice sounded from behind them.

"Sorry to have kept you two waiting."

A young girl with simple clothes and long dark brown hair came up to them and greeted them with a smile.

"I am the current director of the British Museum, Catherine. May I ask if you are the Valkyrie of Destiny?"

"Well, hello, you can just call me Rita. I believe you already know the purpose of my visit."

Catherine raised her glasses and took a quick look at the ID Rita presented, then turned her attention to Jiang Ming.

"Who is this?"

"Oh, this is my bodyguard, who is mainly responsible for protecting my safety. Can we go in?"

"Of course, Miss Rita, please follow me."

Catherine gracefully stepped aside to lead the way for the two men and introduced them to the British Museum.

........................

"The British Museum preserves historical and cultural treasures from all over the world, and the cultural relics you are applying to investigate belong to Britain's own history, but their value is no less than that of other exhibits."

Catherine brought the two of them to a stone slab at least three meters high that had a picture of the Knights of the Round Table on it.

"This is a Celtic scroll that was preserved to this day around the sixth century AD. It records an ancient history..."

[A young boy named Arthur successfully pulled out the sword in the stone with the help of the great wizard Merlin and became the king of Britain]

[After he ascended the throne, King Arthur founded the powerful Knights of the Round Table and swore an oath to jointly protect Britain]

[Under the efforts of the king and his knights, Britain drove away countless invaders and ushered in their own unity and strength]

[The story of King Arthur has been sung to this day and has become a household story among the English]

"So Miss Rita, is there any special message hidden in this mural?"

"It's a secret."

Rita, who didn't want to reveal too much, smiled knowingly at Catherine. Seeing this, Catherine's face was covered with sweat. She quickly waved her hands and explained.

"Ah, I'm so sorry, I'm just academically curious."

Suddenly, Catherine seemed to have thought of something, and took two steps back to say goodbye to Rita.

"In that case, I won't bother you with your investigation, Miss Rita. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me."

"Okay, thank you, Director."

After simply seeing Catherine off, Rita and Jiang Ming began to look at the stone slab in front of them again.

"Master Jiang Ming, did you find anything?"

"To be honest, I know very little about British history, but I do know a little about the origin of the Second God's Key."

Hearing this, Rita raised her eyebrows and motioned for Jiang Ming to continue. Jiang Ming closed his eyes and thought for a while before preparing to speak. But before that, the two suddenly felt as if there was something behind them, but when they turned around, they only found a cat.

"Who?!"

"Meow--"

"Cats? Why are there cats in this place?"

It happened so suddenly that Rita couldn't help but step back, but the cat slowly approached them.

Suddenly, the collar on the cat's neck emitted a red light, as if it had been injected with some medicine, and the next second a large amount of white smoke was released around it.

Puff——

After the smoke cleared, the cute cat, which was originally of normal size, suddenly became almost the size of an armored vehicle and pounced on Rita like a crushing force.

Fortunately, Jiang Ming had anticipated this and grabbed Rita's waist and teleported her behind the cat, so the attack naturally missed. However, the stone slab they were observing just now shattered into multiple pieces.

"Why would an ordinary cat turn into a Honkai beast?"

After Jiang Ming put the girl down in his arms, Rita frowned and stared at the cat-shaped Honkai beast in front of her with her beautiful eyes.

"It might be the collar around its neck. It seems like it was injected with something just now."

“Meow (Wow, you managed to dodge my attack).”

“Nyan (You two are both filled with the power of Honkai. It seems we are of the same kind. It is said that Valkyries have their own armor. Let me see your full strength).”

It seemed that it was because of the device on its body that Jiang Ming and Rita could clearly understand what the cat meant.

"Rita, the Honkai energy in it is almost reaching the Emperor level... No, it has already reached it, although just barely."

"Need help?"

"Just leave it to me."

After saying that, Jiang Ming took a step forward, and with his right hand, some ice crystals fell down, and finally condensed into a three-foot-six-inch ice sword. From its smoothness that even reflected the surrounding scenery like a mirror, it could be seen that it was very sharp.

However, despite saying so, Rita still revealed her Blue Knight, Moon Soul, standing not far away, ready to provide support at any time.

“Meow (Huh? Boy, are you also a Valkyrie? I’ve never seen your type, but the concentration of Honkai energy in your body is not inferior to the S-class next to you. Interesting…)”

"The fun is yet to come. Even if you have already reached the threshold of the Emperor level, I can still defeat you with only 50% of my strength."

"Meow! (Five percent? Who are you...looking down on!)"

As if feeling looked down upon, the cat began to tremble with anger. Then it poured all its strength into its limbs, and its muscles instantly became tight.

The next moment, it rushed towards Jiang Ming at a speed no less than the Honkai Emperor he encountered last time in Dubai.

Jiang Ming was already prepared for the battle. He quickly formed an ice wall to cover his body and quickly retreated.

But this ice wall was obviously unable to withstand this imperial-level impact. In just a moment of collision, the ice wall was smashed into a pile of broken ice cubes.

But just when the cat broke through the ice wall to look for Jiang Ming, Jiang Ming had already swung out several icy sword qi, emitting bursts of cold air, and hit the target exactly!

But this only left a few sword marks on its hard shell.

"Nya (Nice attack, but not enough)."

"Then how about this?"

Rita arrived above its head early, wielding a huge sickle in her hand and chopped it down quickly without hesitation.
