Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

"Miss Catherine, could you please let me take this slate back and study it carefully again?"

"Oh, of course, if it can help you."

"Grateful."

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

After the two returned to their temporary residence, Rita sent the special metal message hidden in the stone slab to Otto.

"It's soul steel. I didn't expect that they would embed soul steel into a stone slab thousands of years old. It looks like things are going to become more and more interesting."

"My Lord Bishop, isn't it strange that these soul steels suddenly appeared?"

"Well, I have tested the information you and Jiang Ming sent. It is indeed a relic from the previous civilization era. It contains some information about the Second God Key."

"This God's Key is a device made by a previous civilization using the core of the Ruler of the Void. Its actual function is still unclear, but the Soul Steel mentions that its power can open the door to space and connect to another dimension."

"Previous civilizations used it to explore the Quantum Ocean, looking for some way to fight the collapse, but the specific information has been lost."

After hearing this, Jiang Ming expressed his guess.

"So Avalon is a bubble of world in the quantum ocean, and King Arthur's holy sword is a description of the Key of the Sky?"

"Yes, that's about it. Jiang Ming, Rita, the Key of the Void is very important to Destiny. It will be an indispensable weapon against Honkai. No matter what the cost, we must find it."

"Yes, Lord Bishop."

"Understood......"

"Well, very good. Oh, by the way, in order to ensure the smooth progress of your mission, I have arranged an assistant to assist you."

"assistant......?"

"......"

"Jiang Ming, you go and get that assistant."

"......"

"what?"

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

Phosphate Sand Team training room.

"Captain! Headquarters sent an email! It's about Transfer Renhan!!"

Sophia showed Mattila the email from the headquarters, and Mattila was also surprised to hear this. After all, any elite team that was asked by the Destiny Headquarters to stay in one place would basically not be transferred again, but they made an exception here.

"Great! Senior Jiang Ming and the headquarters must have recognized the Phosphorus Sand Squad and are going to transfer us to a more important battlefield!"

"The opportunity has come... As long as you become an S-rank Valkyrie, all your efforts will be rewarded!"

"Sophia! We've finally been waiting for this moment!!"

Mattila was extremely happy at the moment, and she couldn't wait to share the news with other team members.

"Susanna!! Come out now! Do you hear me?!"

But after taking a closer look at Diao Renhan, Sophia couldn't help but utter a puzzled sound.

"what......?"

"Here I come! Sorry, Captain! I've already washed it!! Sorry, I'm so slow..."

The panicked girl didn't even have time to put on her clothes. She could only run out while wrapping her fully grown body in a bath towel and wiping her hair with a towel.

The hazy mist was still surrounding the girl. Her eyebrows were slightly bent and her eyes were tightly closed, as if she didn't want to make any mistakes.

"It's OK as long as you come out. Come, Sophia, read the contents of the transfer letter to everyone."

"Transfer to Ren Han?!"

Both of them looked at Sophia expectantly, but the next second Sophia pointed at the information on the tablet and told the cruel truth.

"Um...Mattila, the person who was transferred in the email was only Susanna..."

"Varied..."

"well----?!"

Mattila couldn't believe her ears when she heard this. After all, how could they transfer only one person?

Matilda suddenly grabbed Susanna and put her hands on her shoulders and asked loudly.

"Hey, Susanna, what on earth did Senior Jiang Ming like about you? Is it your good temper? Or your rich family? Or your big breasts?!"

"That's a little bit wrong..."

"Well...I...I don't know about that captain either."

Susanna was so anxious that she was about to cry. Crystal tears appeared in the corners of her eyes. Her frightened look with her eyes closed and her hands raised looked innocent no matter how you looked at it.

But Mattila would not let her go so easily. She wanted to make everything clear today. At this moment, the door of the lounge was suddenly knocked.

dong dong——

"Hello, is this the break for Team Phosphorus Sand?"

The male voice seemed to be deliberately suppressed. It sounded a little strange, but also familiar to them.

"Who!"

Mattila, who was angry, would not give a good face to anyone, so she asked loudly.

"Ah, I was sent by the higher-ups to pick up Susanna and take her to the Destiny headquarters. You should have received the transfer letter, right?"

"Ah, I did receive it, but I didn't expect it to be so fast..."

"Um...Mattila, I think it's better to invite the person in first..."

Sophia pointed to the door, and Mattila sighed helplessly.

"I know, I know. Hey, the one outside, please wait outside for a while. Susanna, hurry up and get dressed! And pack your luggage as well!"

“I…I know!”

"Ah."

After hearing both parties agree, Mattila collapsed on the bed, complaining non-stop.

"What the hell is going on here... They were supposed to transfer Han, but they only transferred one person. They don't take us seriously at all."

"Mattila..."

"I'm sorry for taking such a sudden action."

The person outside the door suddenly apologized to them with a sincere attitude.

"But the bishop said that this mission is of great importance, and Susanna is the best person to take on this task. I'm sorry to make you feel uncomfortable."

"Humph, do you think an apology will make us give up? Do you know how long we have been waiting for this opportunity?"

"Mattila...!"

There was a hint of blame in Sophia's tone. After all, they had no ability to refuse. All their equipment, abilities and resources were given by fate.

If not, they wouldn't even have a chance to survive and take revenge on Houkai.

"I know, I know. I won't say anything."

Mattila waved her hand casually, and the man outside the door waited quietly.

Twenty minutes later——

"Sorry, sorry, I've packed and changed my clothes...um..."

Susanna turned her gaze to her captain and vice-captain, while Mattila rolled her eyes.

"Okay, stop being sentimental. Just work hard when you get to the Destiny headquarters. You have a better future now."

"Uh-huh......"

Susanna walked to the door hesitantly, but when she opened the door and saw the person standing outside, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and open her mouth. Her whole body trembled slightly and her legs couldn't help but move backwards.

"Alas?!"

Her strange appearance naturally attracted the attention of Mattila and Sofia, but when they looked over, they made the same move as Susanna.

Because the person standing outside the door was Jiang Ming, and he was looking at the three members of the Phosphorus Sand Team with an apologetic look on his face.

"I'm sorry, it happened suddenly and I didn't have time to prepare anything for you."

“No…No no…”

Susanna repeated this word incoherently. Her mind was confused. An S-rank Destiny Knight came to pick her up to go to the Destiny headquarters, but she ended up leaving him outside the door for 20 minutes.

His own captain was rude to him and full of complaints!

Ahhhh!! I’m dying, dying——!!

When Susanna reacted, her mind was full of this thought, and in the end she rolled her eyes and fainted.

"Suzanna!!"

In the end, Susanna didn't know how she got through this period of time, and when she woke up again, she was already on a plane to the headquarters of Destiny.

Chapter 157 Confidence

"Um! Lord Jiang Ming! I'm really sorry for what happened before!!"

Until they got off the plane, Susanna was still apologizing for leaving Jiang Ming outside the door for 20 minutes, and Jiang Ming didn't know how many times he had sighed since Susanna woke up.

"Okay, Susanna, you've been apologizing since you woke up. Is there something wrong with your throat?"

"No, no, no, compared to that little thing, I really..."

"Yeah, I understand you, but I'm really not angry about this matter, so just don't worry."

Jiang Ming put his hand on Susanna's shoulder, motioning her to relax.

“Is that so…”

After confirming again, Susanna finally breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did she realize that her back and clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

"Well, compared to this, you should quickly explain to the two captains. They look like they are ready to write their resignation reports, which makes me more worried."

"Okay, I'll explain it to them now!"

Susanna immediately took out her cell phone and started tapping away, quickly explaining everything to her two former captains.

Then she turned her gaze to Jiang Ming again, leaned forward slightly, and asked embarrassedly.

"Um... Lord Jiang Ming, why did you transfer me here..."

The cute little bear really wanted to know why she was suddenly transferred. Jiang Ming explained after looking at her with a slightly apologetic and sympathetic look.

"Remember what I told you? I value and admire you very much. That's true. And the bishop just happened to give you such an opportunity and sent me to pick you up at the Destiny Headquarters."

"Eh? Am I...am I someone who can accept this kind of treatment?"

Susanna could hardly believe her ears. The special invitation from the Bishop of Destiny and the attention from the S-rank Knight of Destiny were all things she had never heard of in the history of Destiny.

"It doesn't matter whether you are such a person or not. What matters is that you have come to the headquarters of the destiny. In this case, there is no need to doubt yourself. Just work hard to become an excellent Valkyrie here."

"Yes! I will definitely work hard!"

"By the way, you don't have to call me Sir. Just treat me as your friend and call me Jiang Ming directly."

“Eh…?”

Although Susanna was surprised when she heard this, she still tried hard to call out Jiang Ming's name directly.

"Jiang... Jiang... I really can't do it! Master Jiang Ming! I feel like it would be too disrespectful to call him that!!"

"Um...I see. Then I won't force you."

Jiang Ming looked at the anxious look of the little bear and couldn't help but sweat on his face.

At this time, Jiang Ming had already brought Susanna to a place full of books, and Susanna also remembered something at this time.

"By the way, Lord Jiang Ming, I remember the headquarters transferred me here for something important. What is it?"

"Well, it's an important mission. Oh, here we are."
