Honkai Impact 3rd: The Girl Who Chases the Flame

Page 109

"No!!!"

The three girls in the room screamed in terror, and Sakura knocked them unconscious without a second thought.

"Kill...kill people..."

The old nun at the door was deathly pale. Just as she was about to cry out, Sakura pointed a knife at her neck.

"I'll say it again, if you don't want to die, do as I say right now!"

Sakura's murderous aura left the old nun speechless.

"This disease is incurable. You all need to do as Sister Ying says quickly, or you'll all die!"

Padoflius grabbed the old nun's shoulder, her eyes pleading.

"……it is good!"

The old nun was about to get angry, but when she saw the child's eyes, she suddenly softened and gritted her teeth and said.

After the old nun led the unconscious children out, the soldiers outside came in.

.........

"..."

Sakura walked to the bedside, lifted the blanket, examined Katie's body, and finally focused her gaze on her wrists.

There was a tiny wound there, and the lines started to spread from there.

“Sakura…Sakura-senpai…”

Jona's lips trembled as she looked at the little girl's body on the ground.

"Anyone infected with Honkai disease is doomed to die, especially those who are severely ill."

Sakura showed no intention of comforting them.

"Because they will become Deadpools, and then infect the people around them, eventually affecting a village, a city... If they are Herrschers, they might even affect an entire continent."

"..."

These are all things covered in theoretical training, but it would be far too difficult for them to accept so quickly that they would even lay a hand on an innocent little girl.

"Alright, you can all go and investigate on your own. Work in pairs, Phyllis with me."

Sakura said calmly.

"When encountering enemies, prioritize self-preservation. Jona and Vera are both fusion warriors and have passed combat training... Phyllis is a bit lacking, so she'll stay with me. Also, Private Captain, who's in charge of this area?"

Sakura looked at the squad leader who was walking over and saluting, and asked.

"Report, it's Captain Salome."

The private captain saluted and said.

"……All right."

Sakura paused for a moment, then said...

"Also, inform her, Phyllis, that she's coming with me to see Miss Agnes."

"Oh, okay."

…………

Seeing Sakura enter Agnes's room, Padophilia thought for a moment, then decided not to follow her in, but instead stood guard at the door.

"Hey? You're the one from earlier..."

Suddenly, Padofilis saw the old nun passing by and instinctively greeted her.

"So it's Lord Moth of the Flame..."

The old nun paused for a moment when she saw it was her, then stopped in her tracks.

"I'm not an adult anymore, I'm just a newbie, old man, where are you going?"

Padofilis scratched his head and asked.

"I haven't thought about where to go..."

The old nun said with a wry smile.

"I want to see if there's anything I can do to help, and I also want to find Miss Sakura and ask if it's possible to bury that child's remains."

"Ah, we'll ask Sister Ying for you when she comes out."

Padofilis said somewhat awkwardly,

"I'm sorry, but Sister Ying is really not a bad person. She did it for your own good. That was really dangerous!"

“I know, I’m old, and when I see a kid like you, I know you can’t lie.”

The old nun nodded, her gaze suddenly becoming somewhat distant.

“I also have a granddaughter this big… I’m sorry, I’m getting senile, please forget what I said.”

"Do you have a granddaughter? Maybe she can become our good friend!"

Padofilis patted his chest and said.

"If she were still alive, she definitely would."

The old nun smiled and looked at Padofilis's heterochromatic eyes.

"May I ask what your name is?"

“...Me? My name is Padofilis, which was given to me by the aunt at the orphanage.”

Padofilis scratched his head.

You can call me Phyllis or Paddo.

"is it?"

The old nun's expression changed when she heard "orphanage," but then she smiled kindly again.

"Pado, what a beautiful name."

Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Demolition Team, On the Move!

The reason why a sage is a sage is not because she is a sage, but because no one in the world is a sage.

You might think this is a truism, but it's often the truth. As the ancients said: "A tree that stands out in the forest will be felled by the wind; a person who excels above others will be criticized by the masses."

So-called saints are merely ordinary people whose behavior differs from that of ordinary people. I don't believe that saints truly exist; if they do, then this must be a clever trick.

"..."

"Hey, Sakura-nee, how's it going? Did you get anything out of her?"

Seeing Sakura walk out without saying a word, Padophilia went over and asked.

"Although she seemed suspicious from head to toe, my gut feeling told me she wasn't lying, which was strange."

Sakura's expression was somewhat serious as she replied,

“If she’s not such a good actress that I couldn’t tell the difference, then there’s something else going on. Phyllis, I just saw the private captain come by. What did he say?”

"Oh, he said Captain Salome has sent reinforcements and brought the situation under control. Fortunately, there are no other infected people besides the two who died."

Padophilia replied,

"Sister Ying, what exactly happened this time...?"

"...Isn't this too simplistic for a Herrscher?"

Sakura muttered something, not hearing the second half of Padophilia's sentence, and instead muttered to herself.

"But the thousand Law Enforcers should have already been confirmed eliminated. Could it be a lone Honkai Beast? That's impossible..."

"Um... Sister Sakura?"

Padofilis unconsciously increased the volume.

"Huh? Phyllis, what's wrong?"

"No, I just think... what's strange about this is that it doesn't seem like an accident, yet it doesn't make sense either."

Padophilia scratched her cheek.

"The deaths of the Dean and Casey were definitely premeditated, but there's no reason to seek revenge by killing them all."

“You’re right, so we…”
