Collapse, Kaslana's Way of Survival

Kaino couldn't help but roll his eyes at Theresa.

With a helpless sigh, he continued the topic that was interrupted by Theresa.

"But anyway, two or three days should be enough. If we two siblings team up and don't give in, finding a divine key will be easy."

"You and your sister are on a mission together. How could you not slack off and prolong the mission?"

Xier, who knew Kainuo's true nature well, ruthlessly pointed out the illogicality in Kainuo's words.

"Hey." Kainuo also tried to get away with it.

"Don't try that, it's useless!"

With a snort, Xier rolled her eyes.

"Anyway, I'm going with you on this mission. If you dare to refuse... humph!"

"It's not impossible to arrange for you to be part of the mission."

Looking at Xier's serious expression, Kainuo hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

After all, this mission wasn't an infiltration like the last one, so there was no need to worry about the number of personnel involved. Furthermore, after a certain level of showdown with Otto, Kayno no longer needed to hide much of his abilities, and Xi'er's safety would be guaranteed.

Seeing that Kainuo agreed, Xier nodded with satisfaction, her voice slightly excited: "Well, that's about right."

After comforting Xier, Kainuo turned his head and looked at Theresa, who was feeling lost because she would have to be a lonely old woman for a while.

"Speaking of which, Auntie, do you know what my mother's personal ID is on Tianming?"

"Cecilia?" Theresa perked up a bit after hearing the news about her old friend. "Of course I know. What's wrong?"

"Just before leaving the bishop's office, Otto said that my mother put some things she wanted to give to Bianca and me in her personal locker before the second Honkai. It's the kind that's linked to her personal ID."

"He said this was a sixteenth birthday present from our mother for Bianca and me...and it's only been a few days since our birthday, and Bianca and I have to go on a mission soon. Can you help us get it out?"

"Okay!"

Theresa's eyes sparkled.

Chapter 179 Bianca is very happy

"Oh, this armor is very nice."

On the transport ship flying to the headquarters of the Mandate, Bianca, wearing the Mandate's fourth-generation God-killing Armor that she had just recaptured, and the Shining Knight Yuepo excitedly punched the air twice.

Accompanied by the sounds of breaking air and the spreading invisible waves of air, Bianca nodded with satisfaction.

The strong enhancement of her physical fitness, the highly maneuverable aerial combat method, and the two phantoms that can be summoned at any time have raised her combat power, which is already at the top of the Destiny S-level, to a higher level, almost enough to be listed in a separate level.

"If I were to wear this armor, I'd be able to resolve all the Houkai incidents around the world in less than a month, right?"

"You're joking, Lady Yulandel." Rita, who was sitting beside Bianca and quietly observing her, smiled politely. "As far as I know, for the past six months, Honkai incidents around the world have been continuously resolved by a mysterious person. So I'm afraid your idea will not be realized."

"Really? That's great." Bianca smiled and her eyes sparkled, but then a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes: "But if that's the case, why didn't I know about it?"

"Since half a year ago, you've been obsessed with your intimate interactions with Lord Kainuo. Although you're still on missions, your attention to the outside world and the frequency of your interactions with your companions have suddenly decreased significantly. It's only natural that you're not aware of this, right?"

Although she was still smiling, there was a hint of resentment in Rita's eyes.

Even if it was just her, Lady Yulandel hadn't lowered her attention to the outside world to this extent just to communicate with her. It was clearly her who started it first...

Oh, no, it seems that she was not the one who came first.

"Uh, is that so?" Bianca didn't notice the resentment in Rita's eyes, but she felt a little embarrassed and apologetic for ignoring the people around her.

Although she wasn't particularly attached to her life before she lost her memory, the emotions that surged in her heart upon realizing the truth about her identity ultimately made her unable to stop exploring the past. Furthermore, when she took on the role of a sister and observed her brother from a family member's perspective, the novel yet deeply familiar emotions she felt were truly receptive to.

So, before I knew it, I started to neglect the things around me - for half a year.

"I'm sorry!" Bianca apologized immediately.

"Pfft."

Rita burst out laughing at this.

"Lady Yulandel is so adorable... Don't worry, we didn't mind."

The resentment in the maid's eyes disappeared and she shook her head with a smile, indicating that Bianca didn't need to worry too much.

"Is that so?" Bianca nodded blankly, then continued to talk about the mysterious person they had just talked about.

"Speaking of which, Rita, do you know the true identity of that mysterious man? If possible, I would like to compete with him."

"As expected of Lady Yulandel... But if your identity had been confirmed, I wouldn't have used the name 'mysterious person'."

"Ah, that's true." Bianca said a little disappointedly.

Looking at Bianca's expression, Rita smiled slightly and continued:

"But even so, some information was still dug up by Tianming."

"According to Tianming's investigation, although this mysterious person appears and disappears without a trace and appears to be just a dark shadow, some of the rescued people were still able to identify some of their characteristics based on their voices."

"They?" Bianca noticed the key.

"Yes, we've determined that the mysterious person isn't just one person," Rita nodded. "Sometimes it's a deep male voice, sometimes a bold female voice, and sometimes just a meaningless mumbling sound... Because of this, Tianming is completely unable to determine the other person's identity."

"Sounds like some unfounded urban legend." Bianca gave her own judgment.

"Indeed, if these legends weren't told by victims rescued from the Honkai disaster, and if their accounts weren't so consistent," Rita sighed, "it's even stranger that sometimes, Honkai disasters strike several places around the world at the same time, yet rescue efforts arrive at almost the same time, as if the rescuers possess the ability to travel through space."

"Traveling through space..." Bian Erka frowned and fell into deep thought.

She remembered that when the Bishop bestowed upon her the White Flower of the Black Abyss, he had told her about Kiana Kaslana's clone, K423, the cloned sister who had taken on her original name, and who had the Herrscher of the Void core within her body.

If I remember correctly, the bishop also said something that would probably make the Anti-Entropy Alliance's blood pressure soar after hearing it - but that's not important.

So, could this mysterious person be the sister he has never met?

Bianca couldn't help but feel curious.

Although Bianca felt resentful towards her sister because she could not meet her family openly, she would not hold a grudge against a child who knew nothing but was burdened with a harsh mission.

Therefore, if the other party really succeeded in mastering the power of the Herrscher of the Void and secretly resolved the Honkai Incident, Bianca would only feel happy, excited, and joyful - happy that her sister had escaped a cruel fate, excited that the siblings could recognize each other openly after the Herrscher of the Void's explosive power was greatly reduced, and happy that the world bubble in her body could be safely reversed.

Seeing the smile that appeared involuntarily on Bianca's face, Rita couldn't help but laugh.

"It seems that Lady Yulandel has some guesses about the identity of that mysterious person. Can you tell Rita about it?"

"No."

Rita's smile froze.

It's such a straightforward rejection...

"Ah, that's not what I meant." Seeing Rita's expression, Bianca quickly waved her hand. "This is something the Bishop once told me about. It's confidential and can't be shared casually."

Rita too?

Although she really wanted to ask this question, she roughly guessed that this question would probably cause Lady Yulandel to fall into distress, so Rita finally suppressed her inner restlessness.

But I still feel angry when I think about it!

Just as this feeling of restlessness and boredom was churning in her heart, Rita's personal terminal beeped.

"Eh? Is there something else you want to assign to the Immortal Blade?" Bianca asked.

Although she was the captain of the Undying Blade, Rita was the housekeeper of the Undying Blade. Therefore, if there was anything to inform the Undying Blade, the message would often be sent directly to Rita.

"It's the bishop's mission notice."

Rita took out the terminal, raised an eyebrow, clicked it, and read it word by word:

"New mission: Go to London, England, search for information about the Second God Key and bring it back. The personnel for this mission are Bianca Atagina and Rita Rossweisse, and the captain is—"

Rita's voice hitched.

"The captain is Keno Kaslana. Detailed mission reports should be submitted to Keno Kaslana, who has the authority to make all decisions regarding the mission. The mission will begin after the two of you return to Scheme Headquarters."

"Are you going to go on the mission with your brother?!" Bianca's eyes sparkled.

Click.

There was a sound as if something was breaking.

There was also a hint of inexplicable sourness between Rita's restlessness and boredom.

Chapter 180 Sister-in-law and Brother-in-law

Suddenly, the transport ship shook slightly, bringing the two people, who were silent and thinking about their own things, back to their senses.

Rita was very familiar with this kind of vibration after years of missions, and the time on her wrist watch was exactly as she expected. So she calmed down and smiled at Bianca.

"Lord Yulandel, we have arrived at the Destiny headquarters."

"So fast? It feels like time has flown by so quickly." Bianca stood up from her seat, stretched, and looked towards the cabin door, looking energetic. "Then let's go..."

"Lord Bianca."

She interrupted Bianca's words, and the smile on the maid's face became a little helpless.

"While I understand your urgency, it's best to remove your armor, which is such a powerful personal weapon, at headquarters. While your status won't prevent you from being stopped, attracting too much attention and even being surrounded by fans asking for autographs will definitely delay things a bit, right?"

"You're just kidding about fans, but Rita, you do have a point," Bianca nodded.

"That's right." Rita smiled gently, reaching to her side and pulling out a brand new set of clothes as if by magic. "I've already prepared clothes for you, Lady Yulandel. Why don't you change now?"

Bianca stared at Rita with a strange look and shook her head, then casually pressed the button on the silver wristband on her right arm.

"That's not necessary, Rita. Have you forgotten that we are all equipped with the latest portable devices?"

After a flash of blue light, he changed back into his regular uniform with a white lining and a black jacket. Although he looked very heroic, Rita's smile froze and she felt a sense of loss in her heart.

I originally wanted to see how Lady Yulandel would look when she changed her clothes, but now it seems that I can’t see it.

"Huh, that's all." Bianca pushed her long curly hair back, placed one hand on the hatch and smiled, turning to look at Rita who was still motionless. "Alright Rita, let's go."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bianca pushed open the cabin door without waiting for Rita's response, and then excitedly waved to the people who were waiting to pick her up.

"Brother, I'm here!"

……

At the headquarters of Destiny, in a cafe relatively close to Otto's private airport, Bianca and Rita, Rita and Xier gathered together.

Theresa was on her way to retrieve Cecilia's belongings, and Bella was also asked by Keno to go and help. It just so happened that the people in the cafe were members of this mission.

"Brother, isn't it a bad thing for you to do this?" Bianca stared at her brother with deep doubt in her eyes.

"I remember that Aunt Theresa said she wanted to meet me in person. Although I have mixed feelings about recognizing my aunt as my relative, isn't it a bit too much to just send her away like this?"

Unlike Kaino, whom she had never met since she lost her memory, Theresa, who almost became the principal of Bianca Academy, had already left an inherent impression of her as a playful and relaxed person in her heart. Now, suddenly having to treat her as a niece was a very complicated thing.

But Bianca would not avoid the other party because of this. She had already prepared for the fact that she would actually meet her aunt after arriving at the headquarters.

When I got there, I found that my aunt was gone...

"Rita feels the same way," Rita chimed in with a look of disappointment. "Lady Theresa is so lovely, it's such a shame we can't see her anymore."

Bianca was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Rita beside her with surprise.

"That's why I told you it was an accident. My aunt had just left on the plane when the news of your arrival came. There was nothing I could do."

Kainuo sighed, then looked at Rita with a hint of disdain, his gaze fixed on the Theresa Q-version pendant on her waist.

"Besides, Auntie might be glad she didn't meet you this time, otherwise she might be terrified."

Ever since their last meeting, he realized that there was a rather troublesome Rita in this world, so he specifically asked Theresa for her information.

But the result was that Theresa, my eldest sister who usually feared nothing but grandpa, suddenly changed her expression as if she had seen her natural enemy. She poured out so much bitter melon juice that the bitter melon juice in her hand no longer tasted good.

"Hmm... Lord Kaino, are you saying that Rita was too rude to Lady Theresa? That's indeed the case."

Rita nodded in agreement, then turned her gaze to Xier, who was quietly drinking coffee and listening to the conversation, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"And speaking of which, Miss Xier seems to be only fourteen years old now, right? I have heard that you, Lord Kainuo, and Miss Xier seem to be a little too close."

Bianca turned her shocked gaze towards her older brother.

Xier, who was enjoying the melon but was suddenly affected, frowned and looked at Rita with an unfriendly look.

"Huh? What's it to you?"

Why do I need you to comment on how I am doing?

"This is Rita's concern for you, Miss Xier." Rita's smile did not fade. "Girls must protect themselves when they go out."

"If you say that, then I have something to say." Kainuo immediately shot back, "Think about it, how old are you and how old is your aunt? The difference between you is more than a little bit."
