People are collapsing, but Kevin

From now on, we will be the ones with destiny ^v^!

After a very brief ideological struggle, Raven finally decided to quit the shady company World Snake and file a complaint against the organization for exploiting her labor force. Although she was already very happy in her heart, she was still reluctant to admit it.

"Okay, I agree to this proposal for now..." She nodded and paused, "Joining Tianming may be a good choice, but I have to discuss the details with your school principal before I can make a decision. Do you understand?! I didn't promise you anything!"

After saying this, as if to hide the smile that was about to show on her face, Raven reached out and gently wiped the corner of her mouth, raised her chin slightly, and tried her best to look nonchalant, but her twitching eyebrows had already betrayed her thoughts.

To be honest, for her who has been working in the mercenary industry for many years and has done all kinds of dirty and shady jobs, such an opportunity to cleanse herself and enter the formal industry is not always available.

By then, I can proudly tell the children that I am a glorious Valkyrie teacher of destiny and a great warrior fighting for the beauty of the world.

This is especially useful when fooling children, and it’s also very cool!

"Well, it's a deal."

Mei heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this. The negotiation process was much easier than she had imagined. She really didn't know whether it was because she spoke well or if the other party was simply too easy to deal with.

"Let your children clean up for a bit. Once we find out what's wrong with the western part of Changkong City, I will introduce you to Brigadier General Jizi. She shouldn't mind supplementing the teaching staff."

"Okay, let's go now!"

Hearing this, Raven immediately perked up, as if infected by her emotions. The sniper rifle in his hand, Seven Thunders of Purification, emitted a shining purple light, with bullets loaded, ready for a big fight at any time.

A better life is right before your eyes, so hurry up and get started!

ps: Raven: I didn't want to betray the World Serpent, but they gave me too much

Chapter 51: Deep into the Mountains

After instructing the children to be careful and wait obediently in the nest, Mei and the raven arrived at the top of the Sky Wall.

This tall wall is a famous historical building in Changkong City. It was built during the golden age of the Far East's economy in the last century. Its height is one of the highest in the entire Changkong City. Looking down, you can have a panoramic view of the entire city.

"Mei, where is that abnormal signal you mentioned?"

As he spoke, Raven looked down and pointed at several advancing-level Honkai beasts on the roof not far away.

"Do you need me to use pheromones to control those wandering Honkai beasts? They should be able to lead us to that place."

"No, there is no need for that. I can feel that the energy signal is still in the same place, on the mountain over there."

After saying that, Mei considerately pressed down the finger that Raven extended, causing the latter to laugh awkwardly, retract his hand, and lightly bite his lower lip, feeling his face getting hot.

She finally realized that showing off her Honkai energy control in front of a Herrscher was a bit inappropriate. Oh... so embarrassing!

"Let's go." Mei pretended not to notice this and glanced at her, "But be alert, it is very likely to be a dangerous existence like the Pseudo-Herrscher."

"Yes, yes, I know, not every Herrscher is as friendly as you, young lady~"

After getting to know each other better, Raven also started to joke with Mei. Although their first meeting was a disaster, she gradually realized that the Herrscher in front of her was a person with a particularly good temper.

Thinking back to her actions at that time, it really makes her sweat. Fortunately, the other party had no hostility at all, otherwise... She was sure that her suicidal behavior would be enough to kill her more than six times.

How dare you confront a Perfect Herrscher head-on alone without using the Key of God? Are you crazy?

Ahem, let’s put aside the embarrassing question for now. In Raven’s eyes, Mei, who brought an offer to St. Freya Academy, is no different from the God of Wealth sent from heaven. She can no longer be described as just a friend, but a benefactor!

At the same time, at St. Freya Academy, the freshman Fire Chasing Study Group was holding another study exchange meeting.

The theme of this meeting is still the group assignment of the Honkai History class. Although Mei is absent due to a mission, considering that the DDL at the end of July is approaching, we still have to speed up the progress.

"Bronya, have you found the information I asked you to look up before?"

"Completed." Bronya nodded. "Bronya is uploading the file to the group chat. Please Kevin and Yuno check it out."

The content is naturally the historical data of Kallen's period. Since the saint lady looks so much like his mother, and with the help of Theresa, Kevin's research on Kallen can be said to be quite thorough. He believes that except Otto, no one understands Kallen better than him.

Careful study of historical figures and the times in which they lived, combined with comprehensive analysis of cultural, cognitive and political aspects, always leads to some interesting conclusions.

After all, from a contemporary perspective, it may be a little difficult to understand the behavior and choices of ancient people. How to put aside differences in concepts and trace the logic behind historical events is the charm of history for Kevin.

In any case, now that I have won this advantageous subject, I believe that with Bronya's information gathering ability, Mei's top test-taking skills, my own historical knowledge reserves, and Yuno to run in the team, I am sure to get a high score in this regular assignment.

However, there are still some minor problems bothering the girls.

"Um... Kevin, I have a question I've wanted to ask for a long time." Yuno drew a circle on the tablet with her finger, "Who exactly is 'Yae Sakura'? She's mentioned in many places here... But didn't they say that the only daughter of the miko Yae Kamiko died young?

"

"Oh, that's it."

Kevin glanced at the red words in the shared document and raised his eyebrows. He seemed a little surprised that there were no relevant comments in the document, so he simply explained:

"In fact, 'Yae Sakura' is not a single person. When Kallen Kaslana drifted to the Far East, she was adopted by the shrine maiden Yae Miko of Yae Village and was given the surname 'Yae'. So to put it this way, Yae Sakura is Kallen's name in the Far East."

This part of the content is not introduced in detail in the textbook, and it is not Yuno and Bronya's fault that they don't know about it. Even Kevin only learned about it from the information he got from Theresa.

Perhaps it was because the impact was too bad? The fact that the Holy Maiden of Destiny and the Pseudo-Lawsman were entangled, even to the point of being given names and being referred to as mother and daughter, was not something that was worth publicizing.

"Perhaps this experience can explain why Kallen later made the statement that 'Yae Goddess is my mother', which seemed extremely rebellious at the time. There is reason to speculate that before she was corrupted into a pseudo-herrscher, Kallen had a very close relationship with her..."

Unfortunately, Mei didn't know the content of this group discussion, otherwise she would have been able to clear up a lot of confusion - everything about this place was simply weird.

When Mei and Raven arrived at the foot of the mountain in the West City District, a strong breath of Honkai energy similar to that of the Herrscher hit them in the face, and it was more obvious than when they were far away.

"The Honkai energy reaction ahead is getting more and more dangerous. Raven, set up your sniper rifle here and stay alert. Leave the in-depth investigation to me."

"Hey, hey, when are you...Okay, you're the expert here, I'll listen to you."

After hearing Mei's words, Raven realized that she had become the one being ordered around. Her pride as an elder made her want to ask back, but after thinking for a moment, she chose to obey.

This is definitely not because he was defeated before!

As a mercenary, he naturally had to make full use of his tactical and intelligence advantages. Since there was a Herrscher who knew Honkai better, it was not impossible for him to follow her command for the time being...

"Anyway, thanks to you, this lady seems to be much more active than before. I've never seen her so obedient before..."

Raven muttered quietly, holding the Seven Thunders of Purification in the form of a sniper rifle across his chest, and gently stroked its shiny purple-black barrel with his fingers. A deep fluorescent light lit up, as if to obediently indicate that he was in excellent condition.

The third divine key "Seven Thunders of Purification" has powers similar to those of the Herrscher of Thunder. In sniper mode, the bullets fired can quickly disintegrate the target into atoms, with extremely strong destructive power. However, this is also a very temperamental weapon, and its performance depends entirely on its state.

Just like a willful young lady, if you don't do what she wants, sometimes the machine will crash after firing just one bullet, and she will even throw a tantrum and turn herself into a slingshot form that is completely unsuitable for combat. This is not the most outrageous thing. Raven still remembers that one time after he pulled the trigger, the bullet turned around and almost hit him!

However, when she was near the Herrscher of Thunder in this era, she behaved more like a well-behaved and cute little sister. She didn't have her usual arrogance, and her energy output was a bit more than usual. Maybe she wanted to show her full strength.

Although he has never tried it, Raven dares to bet that if the Seven Thunders of Purification fell into Mei's hands, it would definitely become the sword that she is most proficient in using.

Perhaps that is the suppressive power of the Herrscher of the Same Origin.

Thinking of this, Raven spread his legs, lowered his body and squatted, assuming a sniper stance, with a purple spot of light projected from the sniper scope to his right eye.

"Alright, Mei, let's get started." She gestured to show that she was ready. "Let's finish this quickly and leave this terrible place!"

ps: Kallen: Sister, you guessed it, Yaezakura is actually me

Chapter 52: Shrine Ruins

Mei agreed with Raven that this place was not just "bad", it was simply weird.

The cherry blossom season has long passed, but on both sides of the stone-paved road, although the branches and leaves have turned yellow, the trees are abnormally covered with pink flowers, and occasionally a few light cherry petals fall in the breeze.

If it weren't for the strong smell of Honkai energy in the floral fragrance, it would actually be quite beautiful. Mei speculated that this should be the result of the Pseudo-Herrscher's erosion of the surrounding environment.

Mei walked slowly, stepping on the cherry blossom petals all over the ground. In the quiet mountain road, the sound of her footsteps became the only echoing sound.

This made her feel a little uneasy instinctively, and her fingers gradually tightened around the hilt of the Heavenly Realm Sword.

As she went deeper and deeper, a faint pink mist filled the surroundings, making her feel as if she was in some unreal area. Only the hard touch of the knife could bring some sense of reality.

"Raven, what's wrong... Well, it seems I can only rely on myself."

Mei asked subconsciously at first, and then realized that the intensity of the Honkai energy here was unusually high. Almost all electronic equipment had failed, and it was naturally impossible to maintain communication.

She really hated the feeling of being alone. It brought back some bad memories, and what was worse was that here...

Click!

Suddenly, a crisp sound interrupted her thoughts, making her scalp tighten and her heartbeat slow down.

Looking closely, I saw that I had just stepped on a dead leaf, and there was nothing noteworthy.

"call…"

Mei couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. If the enemy came with obvious hostility, it would be easy to deal with. She was not afraid of conflict with any enemy, even a Herrscher of the same level.

However, this feeling of knowing that something is wrong but knowing nothing about it is often the most frightening. For a girl in her early sixteens, it is indeed a major test of her psychological quality.

At this time, Mei began to regret her insistence on acting alone. If she hadn't been so eager to prove herself, she could have asked Principal Theresa to come along, and perhaps things would have been a lot easier.

Oh no...why am I unconsciously thinking about issues that are of no help to the current situation? This cautious way of doing things really needs to be changed!

While thinking, Mei shook her head vigorously, forcing herself to stay awake, but then she vaguely heard bursts of faint crying.

The sound was so small that it would have been almost imperceptible if not for the extremely quiet environment. However, one could clearly feel the sadness contained in it, like a thin hammer, lightly but deeply knocking on her soul.

The situation became more and more strange, and the fog around them became thicker and thicker. For a moment, Mei almost wanted to draw her sword and slash at the air around her.

"Wha…what? What…is this? What is…"

She became incoherent, her eyes wide open, looking around, beads of sweat dripping from her tightly pursed lips, and as her legs trembled slightly, leaving traces of panic on her cheeks.

Like many young girls in the Far East, Mei is also very afraid of ghosts. This is normal. Even after becoming a Herrscher, her original girl's thinking pattern has not changed much.

Perhaps she had enough courage and strength to survive a disaster of the level of the Third Collapse, but enduring this haunted torture was a completely different dimension of pain.

The only thing to be thankful for was that nothing strange really happened until she reached the top of the mountain. Perhaps it was just the psychological factor of excessive tension.

Comforting herself in this way, Mei observed the scene in front of her. At the end of this overgrown mountain road was a long-abandoned shrine... or something like that?

Is that right? She thought it was about right. The collapsed torii gate at the entrance basically confirmed her guess. Judging from the degree of decay of the wood, no one had visited this place for at least hundreds of years.

And the charred marks also indicate that some kind of accident must have occurred here, like a fire or something.

The most important thing is that she could feel that this place was the source of the strong Honkai energy signal, but it seemed quiet here, with nothing there.

"Hello? Is anyone there?"

Mei knocked lightly on the door frame a few times, and the only response she got was the crisp sound of rotten wood. She then slowly walked into the courtyard.

Although she knew the chances of getting a reply here were slim, she still felt like she would be doing something rude if she went in without saying hello.

As a young lady, the etiquette education she received over the years has probably become a behavioral pattern.

As she entered the shrine's gate, perhaps in response to the earlier greeting, the strange sobbing sounds began again, closer and clearer than before.

Mei looked around vigilantly, considering every step she took carefully. She had a feeling that the next person she would face might be some dangerous enemy.

The blade of the Tianji Realm had already been slightly unsheathed, emitting a purple-red glow. The girl's slender knuckles were tightly clasped on the handle, ready to draw the sword and kill the enemy at any time.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I'm sorry! Xiaolin... Mommy is sorry for you..."

The sad whisper came from a shrine maiden who was sobbing with her face covered. She was kneeling on the ground. She had long cherry blossom pink hair tied into a bun at the end. Although her long straight hair remained soft and flowing, it inevitably looked a little messy.

The most noteworthy thing is the low-hanging hair on both sides of her head, which looks like drooping fox ears.

"Excuse me, please...are you okay?"

Looking at this inexplicable situation, Mei couldn't help but ask a question.

But just by asking this, the priestess' fingers suddenly widened, revealing a pair of lavender eyes, reflecting Mei's surprised expression, and suddenly her pupils contracted.

"Sakura... Sakura-chan!" Her lips trembled and she shouted hysterically, "Is that you? Sakura?!"

"Uh, what did you say? I'm sorry, but I…"

Before Mei could figure out what this strange conversation was all about, the purple-black fog around her became thicker and thicker, slowly gathering around her.

Anyway, that doesn't look like a normal phenomenon!

Mei quickly swallowed the half-finished sentence and jumped back with her feet. In an instant, she saw a huge fox shadow appear in the air, accompanied by strange whispers.

And then, a strange tingling pain began to spread from deep in the nasal cavity and went straight up to the head, as if she had inhaled hot ashes, making Mei feel dizzy.

That is the breath of the Herrscher.

As her consciousness gradually blurred, this thought flashed through Mei's mind, and then she fell into a coma.
