Collapse, the Ordinary Daily Life of the Valkyries

Xing also turned his head to look at Gao Su, who sighed:

"Huanlong, you didn't even look at the library on the train. It's clearly all recorded in the library on the train."

"She is one of the seven great lords under Nanook. She loves the self-destruction of mortals and has lured many lives into the abyss of no return..."

"The implication is that the girl from the Tianbo Division has already been bewitched by him and become a pawn of the legion?"

Because the legion likes to turn people into virtual pawns, Fu Xuan uses the term "pawn" to describe them.

"No, she possessed Tingyun's body and replaced his consciousness with her own. In other words, Tingyun's body became the vessel of the Lord of Extinction."

"So what about the real Tingyun?"

Xing couldn't help but ask.

Along the way, she still liked Tingyun very much, and it was definitely not because she was greedy for her body.

San Yueqi subconsciously retracted his hand, and Gao Su shook his head:

"I'm sorry, March Seventh, I can't give you a definitive answer. Where is the original Tingyun now, and when was he replaced? With the disappearance of that body, I have no way of finding out."

"No wonder the 'Medicine King Secret' rebelled. It turns out they were secretly colluding with the Great Lord of Extinction. She disguised herself as a member of the Immortal Boat and sent the star core into Luofu, leaving us to destroy each other..."

Fu Xuan nodded in agreement.

"Her target must be Jianmu! To take Jianmu is like taking away the very root of Luofu City. In that case, destroying the Immortal Boat would be a piece of cake. We must stop her without delay!"

Her expression was extremely serious.

"Follow me, board the Star Raft, and ahead is the cave where Jianmu is sealed, the 'Scaled Abyss Realm.'" After she said that, she turned around and walked ahead to lead the way.

"That guy was lurking around disguised as a member of the Immortal Boat, fooling us... How despicable, how despicable."

Fu Xuan was walking and talking in front, but she didn't seem to be good at swearing.

There are only a few lines of curses, and they keep jumping back and forth between hateful and despicable.

"What's even more worrying is...how many more members of the Antimatter Legion are lurking on the Immortal Ship?"

"This all happened so suddenly... But Uncle Yang was right. Looking back, there are quite a few peculiar things about Miss Tingyun, especially her excessive interest in the creatures of 'Abundance'."

March 7th continued.

"Since this is an envoy sent by the Tianbo Division, it's clear that the Tianbo Division does have a person named 'Tingyun'... Don't worry, the Cloud Cavalry will investigate her whereabouts."

Fu Xuan comforted him softly without even turning his head.

"As for this 'Tingyun' who appeared beside us... As Mr. Walter said, her viciousness and cruelty are meant to disturb our minds. We must not fall into her trap."

"really."

Xing nodded in agreement.

"By the way, what is the Scaled Abyss Realm?"

he asked with some confusion.

"That cave heaven managed by the Chiming Clan is said to be an ancient sea wonderland transplanted from the Chiming's home world."

Fu Xuan did not choose to hide it and explained it without any concern.

"Ever since Jianmu was not severed during the great war, its roots have remained entwined and have never truly perished."

"The alliance decided to seal Jianmu into the Scaled Abyss Realm and hand it over to the Chiming Longzun to guard it for generations, intending to use the power of the Dragon Lord to contain Jianmu."

She sighed softly.

"So much time has passed. I don't know if the Sealing Garment Spiritual Artifact, Si⒌JiuSiJiuba, is still there... Even if it is, I'm afraid it can't prevent the extinction of the Ghost Palace."

"Where is Jingyuan?"

Xing couldn't help but feel confused when he heard this. Why wasn't Jing Yuan there at the critical moment?

"I've reported the current situation to the Divine Strategy Palace. He hasn't been heard from since he spoke to me in the Qiongguan Formation. He said, 'There's an important opportunity, and he must come in person.'"

It means that they are on their way, but have not arrived yet.

"The situation has reached a critical moment. I can only trust the general..."

"makes sense."

Xing nodded without saying anything else and walked all the way to the Xingcha.

"Get on board the Star Raft!"

After Fu Xuan finished speaking, he turned around and boarded the Xing Raft, followed closely by Xing and Walter.

Not long after, San Yue Qi and the Cloud Cavalry behind him also boarded the Star Raft and headed towards the Scaled Abyss Realm under the guidance of Fu Xuan.

......

A little earlier.

Luosha, Danheng and Suchang appeared at the Yunqi Army’s garrison position.

"Well, here..."

Su Chang subconsciously looked around.

"Danding Division."

Dan Heng said it bluntly.

"Hey, you seem very familiar..."

Su Shang turned her head in surprise and looked at Dan Heng.

"Yes, it's the Dan Ding Division, no doubt. No wonder the ship received several intermittent military orders midway, saying that the Cloud Cavalry should assemble. I guess it's to solve the problem of the star core."

She looked around at the Duyun Cavalry.

"Finally! After all this journey, I finally saw the shadow of the Cloud Riders. They're finally back with the team!"

"I didn't lie to you, did I? I said I'd take you to safety, and I kept my word! Even though... it took a bit of a detour..."

When talking about the detour she had taken before, she felt a little embarrassed to talk about it.

But Luosha and Danheng didn't care much and didn't take it to heart at all.

Miscellaneous: Random Thoughts

The blue color of the sea into which the man jumped was so dazzling to the boy whose eyes were already accustomed to the darkness.

The horizon could be seen from the window, and it was calm and peaceful, as if it didn't care about the life of the man who swallowed the cold air.

This is a small restaurant on a high cliff by the sea.

There were four people in the store.

One was a middle-aged man in his forties, lying on the floor with a frown on his face, gasping for breath.

One was a girl of twelve or thirteen. She hugged her knees with her hands, buried her face in them, and remained silent.

The other boy was also about twelve or thirteen years old. He sat on the ground with a haggard look on his face, saying nothing, as if he was concentrating on thinking about something.

How long had passed since he entered this state? What should he do? What exactly was going on? The boy had no idea.

Should I jump into the sea to help the man? Or call the emergency services or the police? Or should I just pretend I didn't see anything and run out of the restaurant?

it's useless.

Panicking, yelling, running away, seeking help...it's all meaningless.

Only this is obvious.

There is only one thing they are allowed to do - think.

That's it.

Why did the man commit suicide? Thinking about the answer was the only thing they were allowed to do.

But the girl and the middle-aged man had already given up thinking, and even their consciousness had become blurred.

The only boy who was still conscious in the restaurant began to recall what happened before the man jumped into the sea.

The man ordered the turtle soup from the menu.

After tasting the turtle soup, he called the chef over and asked, "Excuse me, is this really turtle soup?"

"Yes...it's turtle soup," the chef replied.

The man stopped drinking his soup, paid the bill and walked out of the restaurant.

Then, without even giving the teenagers time to stop him, he jumped straight from the cliff outside the window into the vast ocean.

why.

The reason why the man committed suicide. The boy pondered this situation.

If he knew the reason, he could get out of here. Then, he would definitely be able to find a way to help that child. He firmly believed.

Why did a man commit suicide after drinking turtle soup?

No matter how hard he thought about it, the boy couldn't find the reason.

The boy, who had been thinking continuously without eating or drinking, was already dizzy, so it was not surprising that he suddenly lost consciousness like the girl and middle-aged man around him.

But after thinking about it, the boy came up with a hypothesis. This hypothesis had no basis or evidence, and was simply a forced connection between turtle soup and suicide.

The boy forced out a hoarse voice and asked the other figure in the store.

"…Is there…poison in turtle soup?"

Was there poison in the soup the man drank? Did he, realizing he would die in agony, jump off the cliff to find some relief?

This was the answer that the boy came up with.

The person who answered the boy was the fourth person in the restaurant.

No—calling them human is probably not quite right.

The wings on her back fluttered slightly, and she pushed the mask on her face with her hand and answered him.

She holds a toy-like magic wand in her right hand, has a halo on her head, wears a white dress, and has a mask covering the upper half of her face.

That's an angel.

Was the soup poisoned? The boy had already proposed this hypothesis once, and it had been rejected by the angel. For a boy who couldn't even recall this, his thinking ability was extremely poor.

The hypothesis he finally came up with was an idea that had already been disproven once. This fact took away the last bit of strength that supported the boy's body and mind.

The young man lowered his head and remained silent. The angel murmured again in a soft voice:

The boy heard the sound of an angel about to disappear and closed his eyes weakly.

Then, the boy lost consciousness.

The flirtatious glance from his aunt was not something he wanted to admire every morning. Although he wanted to remove his glasses for vision correction, he—the dove-like nest theory—continued his conversation with his aunt. This was his daily routine.

"I'm very sorry, but please allow me to decline."

"Why? Auntie, if I were ten years younger, everything would be fine, right?"

"If I were thirty years younger, there would still be a possibility."

"If I were thirty years younger, I'd be a middle school student! Are you that? The legendary lolita? No way! Lolita is not allowed! According to the law on pornography, you'll be arrested!"

Of course, Auntie didn't know much about sex. Why was she so excitedly discussing this so early in the morning? As I thought about it, I felt that I was also wrong for letting Auntie push me too far.

Lun took off his shoes and walked into the house, pointing to the stairs leading to the second floor. The aunt who was preparing breakfast also turned her head in the direction he pointed.

"Is she up yet?"

"Ji Liu! Lun-kun, come here! How long are you going to sleep? That kid is really... I'm sorry, Lun-kun, can you help me wake her up?"

"understood."

This was a common occurrence. Lun, already familiar with the place, climbed the stairs and headed towards Yuiru's room.

"Ji Liu, I'm coming in."

Lun knocked twice on the door, apologetically, then opened it without waiting for a response. As soon as he entered, a sweet aroma filled his nostrils. Jie Liu's room was always filled with this scent.

Lun approached the bulging blanket on the bed and lifted a corner slightly. As expected, the face of Lun's childhood sweetheart, Dejima Yuuri, who was sleeping soundly, was revealed.

"Hey, Yuiru, wake up. It's morning. The sun's shining brightly!"
