Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

"Take that! Hom Kick! Wow, it's actually a new special move. Hehe, in order to maintain the dignity of the school principal, I must not let my subordinates know that I'm still reading comic books - but this comic is really good."

Theresa was sitting in her office chair reading comics. When she saw interesting plots, her two short legs would shake from time to time, which was very cute.

"Bang!"

The door was suddenly opened and the adjutant walked in. Theresa was so scared that she immediately used her ultimate skill Bankai to tear the comic book into pieces. Fortunately, she had just finished reading the comic book.

"Principal Theresa has an emergency to report... What are you looking at?"

"I wasn't reading a comic book. I was just looking at some super-secret information."

Theresa said nervously.

The adjutants all looked at her with a caring look as if she were in silly robes.

"We just received an urgent report that the troops heading to support Major Himeko encountered the Anti-Entropy troops on the high seas."

"Anti-Entropy! How could they... What's the situation with the troops?"

When Theresa heard that the Anti-Entropy people suddenly attacked their support troops, she realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Fortunately, with the help of Jiang Ming, we were able to successfully repel the enemy, but according to what he said, Chi You is likely to revive, so he hopes that you can bring Hyperion to support him."

"Chiyou Resurrects..."

"Do I need to report to headquarters?"

According to the intelligence, Chiyou is very likely a Judgment-level Honkai Beast, and this level of Honkai Beast cannot be dealt with without the strength of an S-level Valkyrie, so it is necessary to report to the headquarters and ask them to send an S-level Valkyrie for support. However, if the Bishop of Destiny, Theresa's grandfather Otto, knows about the original stigmata, he will probably take it away. In this case, then Jizi...

".......I will lead Hyperion to provide support first, as for the headquarters......"

Theresa shook her head.

"Yes!"

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

This is Jiang Ming.

After dealing with the attack of Anti-Entropy, Jiang Ming put on a diving suit and used the golden light to quickly come to Ji Zi and the others.

A blue jellyfish appears in Kiana's hand.

"Wow, it's so beautiful here."

"Kiana, what are you doing? Be careful not to be distracted."

"Teacher Jizi, we detected a strong Houkai energy reaction in the cave."

"The location and shape are exactly the same as those provided by the intelligence department. Bronya calculated that the possibility of this being Jiuyou is 34.2%."

Bronya reported her calculations.

"Teacher Jizi, I'm here."

Jiang Ming came to Ji Zi.

"Well, now that everyone is here, let's start exploring this cave."

Jiang Ming and others entered the cave and found that there was a different world here and there was much less sea water, so they took off their diving suits and put on Valkyrie combat armor. Although it was Valkyrie combat armor, it was not like Bai Lian and Feihong. It was just clothes that could resist some erosion by Honkai. They had just become B-level Valkyries, and the specialized armor had not yet been made when they received the task of exploring the Nine Netherworld.

After landing.

"Mei Mei, what do you think of this class monitor?"

"Class monitor? Classmate Fu Hua?"

"Yeah, that's the guy."

"Class Leader Fu Hua is the best among us. She passed the Valkyrie exam at such a young age and became an A-rank Valkyrie. I think she is our role model."

"But she always nags me."

Kiana pouted.

"But why do I remember that it was always Kiana's fault? One time, Kiana skipped class because she was too bored. Another time, she ate hot pot in the classroom and brought Ming along. In the end, the two of them wrote a self-criticism together, huh?"

"Cough cough."

Jiang Ming frowned slightly and coughed twice.

"Well, it's all my fault anyway."

Kiana hummed as she came to Jiang Ming and Bronya.

"Um, Jiang Ming, don't you think Ji Zi is a little too enthusiastic about this mission?"

"Kiana, you are such an idiot."

Bronya mocked from the side.

"Eh? Why are you scolding me?"

"You are probably the only one who hasn't noticed this. Bronya will be merciful and tell you. Take a look at this report."

Bronya gave Kiana a Valkyrie physical examination report.

"This is Mr. Jizi's medical examination report. Her adaptability to Honkai people is very poor. Even so, she was transplanted with artificial stigmata. The result of the forced transplantation is that the artificial stigmata have been eroding her body. If she continues like this, I'm afraid she won't have much time left."

"What! Is there no other way?"

"If we can find the original stigmata this time, and then speed up the research of the Destiny Organization on artificial stigmata, maybe there is still hope."

"In that case, then leave this mission to me. After hearing the importance of this mission, the blood of my Kaslana family is boiling again!"

"Okay, okay, it's great that you can follow instructions."

Jiang Ming poured a basin of cold water on him.

"Bronya, I agree."

"Mm!"

Kiana puffed her lips to vent her dissatisfaction.

Chapter 47 The Truth

The crowd soon came to a stone gate.

"This huge stone is... a door? Um... Fu Hua, what do you think?"

Ji Zi thought for a moment and then looked at Fu Hua.

"This stone door should be man-made, and the door is engraved with the ancient mythical beast of Shenzhou - the dragon."

"Humph, it seems I have found the right place. Come on, all of you move aside and let me split the door open with my sword."

Ji Zi couldn't wait to raise the sword.

"Wait, Mr. Himeko."

Jiang Ming stepped forward to stop Ji Zi.

Fu Hua also discovered something at this time.

"Don't be impulsive, Teacher Jizi. If you don't open the stone door in the correct way, it might trigger some kind of mechanism. Judging from the stone tablet next to it, it should require two keys, and those two keys should be in the passages on both sides."

"...Well, sorry, I was a little too impatient. Let's split into two pairs and find the switch."

Ji Zi took a deep breath to calm herself down.

"Okay, then Jiang Ming, Mei, and Bronya, you go to the north, and I, Fu Hua, and Kiana will go to the south."

Jizi started to divide into groups.

"Eh? Why? I want to be in a group with Mei!"

Kiana obviously had objections to this grouping.

"Okay, to prevent you from running away, you have to stay with the two of us."

Jizi dragged the noisy Kiana away.

Jiang Ming, Mei and Bronya also started looking for the key.

"Mei."

Jiang Ming came to Meiyi.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Ming?"

"Well, it's about your father, actually."

"Father!?"

Mei opened her beautiful eyes wide and looked at Jiang Ming.

"Yes, I left just now to prevent the Anti-Entropy people from attacking our support personnel. We happened to have an undercover agent there, and I got the news about your father through my questioning."

"Ming...you mean..."

Mei already had the answer in her mind.

"Well, your father was not involved in any economic fraud at all. It was the Anti-Entropy people who did it behind the scenes."

Jiang Ming held Mei's hand. She was very cold and trembling all over. Seeing that Mei seemed to be in a bad state, Jiang Ming quickly pulled her into his arms, lowered his eyes and looked at her. He said softly and comfortingly, "Don't worry, Mei, your father is fine. The Anti-Entropy people dare not do anything to him. It's better to say that he joined the radical Anti-Entropy to ensure your safety. So, relax, Mei."

"So...what are they for?"

Mei calmed down and began to ask Jiang Ming why Anti-Entropy did this.

"......"

Jiang Ming didn't know how to answer her. If he told Mei that he had used the lives of more than 300 million people to artificially create the third Herrscher just to create an artificial collapse, he didn't dare to imagine what Mei would become.

"Please, Ming, please tell me."

Looking at Mei's pleading expression, Jiang Ming couldn't bear it and gently patted Mei's back.

"I'm sorry, Mei, I can't tell you, but I promise you, I will make the mastermind pay the price, and Uncle Ryoma will be safe."

"...Well, thank you, Ming, that's enough."

Mei forced a smile.

"Jiang Ming, Mei-sister, Bronya discovered..."

Because Jiang Ming used the Ksitigarbha Soul to isolate the surroundings, Bronya did not notice anything unusual about them, nor did she hear what they were saying. Just when Bronya wanted to report her discovery to them, she turned around and saw this scene.

"Hmm? Bronya, did you find anything?"

Jiang Ming came to Bronya very naturally, as if he had expected it.

"...on the pillar over there."

Bronya pointed to a stone pillar not far away. If you look closely, you can find a key on it, but there are a few dead men standing by.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Bronya."

"It's still mission time. If you have anything to do, please go back and solve it. (? ? ?)"

"Uh, got it, got it."

It was really uncomfortable to be stared at by Bronya like this.

In a short while, several assassins were easily dealt with, and they also found several stone tablets around with some ancient texts on them, so they took pictures of them and prepared to take them back for translation.

Jiang Ming and the other two returned to the stone gate they were at before, and Kiana and the others also came back.

Chapter 48 Xuanyuan Sword

Continuing from the last chapter, Jiang Ming and others return to the stone gate to reunite with Kiana and the others.

"Report to Teacher Jizi, we have successfully obtained the key, and we have found some stone tablets engraved with ancient characters."

Jiang Ming handed the key and the photos he took to Ji Zi.

"Well, thank you for your hard work. I will ask Fu Hua to translate the words on the stone tablet."

"Just leave it to me."

Fu Hua began to translate the text above.

"A year ago, Ji Lin sneaked into Jiuyou alone with Xuanyuan Sword and sealed Chiyou. I wanted to retrieve her body but couldn't find Jiuyou in the vast ocean. Just when I wanted to give up, the red kite kept wandering over the sea. It was Ji Lin's favorite bird. It was said that the name came from a friend of hers. In the end, it brought me here, but left first."

"So touching! Woohoo, it reminds me of Sora back home."

Kiana was so moved by the story that she burst into tears.
