The world is broken, my Valkyrie is doubled

……

"Kyouhei... is what he said... true?" Lan, who had seemed gentle and calm, had a slightly changed expression at this moment, as if she was surprised and sad. She looked at Kyouhei of Penglai Temple, wanting to get confirmation from her husband.

"He didn't lie... Collapse is such a terrible disaster. I have obtained this forbidden knowledge and answer from my teacher." Kyohei Houraiji's expression was not very good at the moment. He continued:

"It's just... what I didn't expect is... I originally thought that this organization called Anti-Entropy, under the guise of fighting the Honkai, started to build so many war machines and fired at will without caring about human lives. However, I didn't expect that they would be so despicable and cruel... the lives of the people in an entire city. It's unbelievable."

"So... you're here to stop them, and your so-called Phantom Thieves' actions are just to attract those soldiers and war machines so that your troops can seize those objects that are likely to turn the entire city into ruins?"

"exactly."

"How can I be sure that you took those things without any other purpose?" Penglai Temple Gongping crossed his arms over his chest, thought seriously about Wang Chen's previous words for a while, and said.

"There is no need for me to lie to you, right? What's more... I have already shown my sincerity with my actions. I sent Jiuxiao back safely, didn't I?" Wang Chen looked at Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple and said.

"Dad... Aibo and the others... are really running around, training, and cleaning out those filthy apostles for the sake of this city." Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple now finally has a chance to express his opinions and provide them to his father for reference.

Chapter 182 Cooperation

"Ah..." Kyouhei Penglaiji felt a headache. Analyzing the current situation, he could only trust the other party even if he lied. The life of a city was beyond Kyouhei Penglaiji's cognition.

What's more, Kyouhei Houraiji really trusted his daughter. Facing his daughter's advice, the balance in his heart undoubtedly tilted towards believing her words.

If you want to do something, you must rely on all the connections you can use. Moreover, you can only cooperate with the other party.

"Looking at it this way, even if my daughter hadn't been caught by me, you would have come to me to seek cooperation, right? After all, your next target is the Far East's biggest supporter of anti-entropy—the current Minister of Justice Yasuo Kijima, right?"

Penglai Temple Kyohei tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa and spoke slowly. After listening to Penglai Temple Kyohei's words, Wang Chen nodded and said, "It seems that Mr. Penglai Temple knows much more information than I thought, so the subsequent conversation can be saved a lot."

"Mr. Penglai Temple, I need your help, and your daughter also needs your help. Help us clear the injustice of Thunder Dragon Horse and overturn the verdict. It will also help us to completely attract the attention of Anti-Entropy and resolve the crisis in Changkong City."

"Overturn the verdict..." Penglai Temple Kyohei pondered. In fact, this was also what Penglai Temple Kyohei had always wanted to do. Since he entered the system, he had spent his entire life trying to treat every case with fairness and justice.

Therefore, of course, when they discovered the strangeness of the Lei Dian Long Ma economic case, they would be so determined to find the truth and answers.

"You may be worried about retaliation and attacks from members of the Anti-Entropy Organization. Our people will protect you and prevent you from any harm." Wang Chen said.

"No, I'm not worried about that. What I'm thinking about is that the current content is not enough to support overturning the case of Raiden Ryoma."

"Then are these enough?" Wang Chen took out the contracts that Raiden Mei had submitted to Yoshino Shinnosuke from his system storage space. However, what Wang Chen had in his hand were no longer copies, but originals.

"In addition, we have obtained a witness statement from Yoshino Shinnosuke. Although it may not be sufficient as decisive evidence to convict Yoshino Shinnosuke because it does not comply with legal procedures, it is more than enough to overturn the Raiden Ryoma economic case."

Wang Chen submitted another recording, which was the recording of Yoshino Shinnosuke obtained by [Raiden Mei].

After watching it, Kyouhei Houraiji finally nodded slightly and said, "According to the Far East's principle of presumption of innocence... it is enough to overturn the verdict."

"The only thing that is still a bit troublesome is the Minister of Justice in the recording. But don't worry, after all, he is our next target. We will make him come to court on time and will not let him delay. There is room for maneuver." Wang Chen said.

"Okay." Kyohei Houraiji nodded slightly.

"So... happy cooperation?" Wang Chen stretched out his hand and asked tentatively.

"..." Without any extra words, Houraiji Kyouhei extended his hand and shook it, expressing his attitude. However, he could not tell the other person's emotions from his expression and eyes.

Although Penglai Temple Kyohei was willing to cooperate with Wang Chen based on his standpoint and rational judgment, he still had some grudges against the forces represented by Wang Chen and others based on his personal feelings and experience. However, Penglai Temple Kyohei was no longer as obvious in expressing his personal feelings as before.

Finally, Wang Chen gave a brief explanation of tomorrow's plan and left, while Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple followed Wang Chen and saw him out of the courtyard.

"Aibo... I'm sorry, in the end, I couldn't help at all, and my dad was so upset about you." After coming out of the house, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the somewhat depressing family environment, and said.

"This is a reminder for me." Wang Chen looked at Penglai Temple Jiuxiao and said slowly, "I have been playing the role of the Phantom Thieves too much recently. In an overly simple and comfortable environment, people always subconsciously overlook something. They may even get a little carried away. After all, I caused you to suffer that attack. As the captain of the Phantom Thieves Team, I have an unavoidable responsibility."

"I just realized that I may have had too much fun and was too arrogant... This is not good. You know, what we are about to face is the Great Collapse, which will determine the final outcome of a city. I am very glad that my mistake was only exposed here and there is still room for resolution. If I face the Great Collapse with this mentality... then I will most likely suffer a greater failure and pay a price I can't imagine."

"So Jiuxiao... I am actually very grateful to your father. His love for you has also enlightened me. How should I face the challenges of the upcoming Great Collapse? So don't worry about it. Spend this night with your parents and say everything you want to say."

"Well...thank you, Aibo. However, I still hope that you can make peace with dad. I will let dad know that this is not your problem, and I will prove to dad that you are the most reliable partner recognized by this savior!"

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao once again returned to his usual middle school style, smiled and gave a thumbs up, saying. This also made Wang Chen feel relieved, he knew that Penglai Temple Jiuxiao's psychological barrier had passed.

On the other side, Penglai Temple Gongping and Lan were standing in front of the window, silently preparing to see Wang Chen off from Penglai Temple Jiuxiao.

"It seems that our child has indeed made a very good friend... although it is beyond some imagination." Lan recalled the electric current used by the other party before, and felt a little nervous. After all, for ordinary people like them, seeing such a "superpower" with their own eyes for a while is still a huge shock.

"I'm just worried about Jiuxiao... Although I should trust her. But..."

"After all, you saw the scene of Xiao Jiuxiao being injured with your own eyes, and I know how you feel. Especially after hearing that Xiao Jiuxiao is now trying to save everyone in a city. This is indeed absurd and worrying." Lan looked out the window and said to Jiuxiao, who had already said goodbye to Wang Chen and was about to return to the house:

"But the child will grow up sooner or later... She now has her own stage. As parents, we can only do our best to pray for her safety and happiness."

"Well... I know, I know." Penglai Temple Kyouhei's eyes flickered a little, and finally he sighed and said:

"I have imagined her future before. Maybe she would join a law firm like me, or work hard to save other people's lives like you. But I never thought... I couldn't see the end of her path. That's already another world. I can't even help her find the direction... She can only rely on herself for everything."

"Then let her rely on herself. Our daughter will be fine." Lan said with a confident smile. And Penglai Temple Kyohei finally let go of his worries and nodded. Then he looked at the information on the table. Then, looking at the alarm clock that rang at midnight, Penglai Temple Kyohei said to himself, "There will be a tough battle during the day."

Chapter 183 Qianjiang

"Extra news, extra news... ME company has revealed explosive news!"

"A lot of information about the underground factory base of Me Company has begun to circulate on the Internet, which is full of the three words of war, violence, and blood. What is the purpose of the large number of war weapons that appeared under the Me Company? Has the country known about it? What is hidden behind this..."

Soon, the content on TV was cut off, and a large-scale purge began on the Internet. The Far East government officials began to take action with only one goal, to calm the increasingly intense rhythm on the Internet. It all started with the Phantom Thieves' declaration video that suddenly appeared this morning.

The video records in detail how the Phantom Thieves broke into the ME Company step by step, and found a passage leading to the underground in the president's office on the top floor, and discovered the huge secret hidden under the ME Company. There are large machines used for war everywhere, and the chase process is also shown in the later video, allowing everyone to witness the firepower and deterrence of those weapons with their own eyes.

According to the video editor's claim, he is Joker, the leader of the Phantom Thieves, and he has completely stolen Me's top treasure, which is the secret revealed in the video.

The Far East's top technology company is actually researching a large number of machines for war, and from the recorded testimony of the current president of ME, it is known that ME has secretly joined forces with foreign forces and bribed Far East officials, among whom the name of Far East's Minister of Justice Yasuo Kijima appears prominently in the other party's mouth. In contrast, there is also the name of the leader of the foreign forces - Cocolia.

In addition, the video also mentioned that the economic case of the former Me president, Raiden Ryoma, was most likely the result of someone's design.

Finally, the video editor mentioned in the video that they will investigate whether the Minister of Justice, as mentioned by the president of Me, has colluded with foreign forces in the near future. They also mentioned that the Phantom Thieves have been fighting against these foreign armed forces for almost a month. They will continue to fight until the dark forces covering Changkong City are completely eliminated.

For a while, under the deliberate manipulation of hackers, the videos were watched, downloaded, and forwarded crazily. Until the Far East government stepped in and began to suppress the pace, and even began to control the comments and guide the public opinion trend, interpreting those videos as the result of malicious editing and special effects.

However, some things can no longer be stopped by coercion and public opinion. As the Phantom Thieves said, they have been fighting each other for a month, and during this month, many people have seen the terrifying war machines in the video - the Anti-Entropy Titans. Some people even died because of the war.

In addition, the Phantom Thieves' activeness in fighting crime over the past month has already established enough credibility among the general public. Therefore, the video made the people of Changkong City believe it so firmly.

……of·

"Hehe, fellow enthusiasts! Our great Fire-Chasing Moth has once again issued a new judgment. This time, it will completely eliminate the true darkness of Far East Changkong City! Bringing true bliss to everyone!"

In a dimly lit room, a blonde woman was giving a loud lecture. Below the stage were a group of people wearing cloaks with their faces uncovered. The cloaks were painted with the silver moth pattern unique to the Phantom Thieves.

"Ah!" The people in the audience shouted loudly.

"This world is not beautiful at all! But it doesn't matter! Because our messengers, our dawnbreakers! They will completely reshape this ugly world! Pull down all those guys who are just sitting there doing nothing!" The blonde woman made a "乆" pose and preached loudly with passion. The people underground were also filled with enthusiasm and shouted in unison: "Fire Moth! Fire Moth! Fire Moth!"

"Right now, go to the streets and find more like-minded people! Go! Expand our family members! Let us contribute to the Fire Moth God's Envoys!" The blonde woman shouted loudly, and the people underground cheered, stood up and left the dim meeting place.

“Hahaha… It’s really wonderful. Ever since the appearance of the gods’ messengers… my life has been reborn. Watching those ugly humans who once inflicted pain on me… one by one… one by one, they are getting the retribution they deserve. Their fear and people’s malice towards them will become my best nourishment!”

The blonde woman licked her fingers and also left the venue and walked into the corridor.

"Not enough, not enough, not enough... The gods were too gentle to those guys... Those ugly insects must be crushed to death in despair, just like the guy who jumped off the building before. Huhu... The expression on his face when he jumped off the building... Ah... It was so delicious."

"No, no! Qian-chan, you can't think like that. It's not that the God's Messenger is gentle and merciful. It's that the lives and blood of those guys are not worthy of being stained in the hands of the God's Messenger... That's right, so the God's Messenger chose me! I was given blessings and power. Hehehe. Let me punish those sinners thoroughly on behalf of the God's Messenger!"

The blonde woman opened the door of a room and turned on the light. It was filled with a large number of peripheral products related to the characters of the Phantom Thieves. The walls were covered with posters of the characters that appeared in the Phantom Thieves, and some cartoon figures. Of course, these could not have been purchased from legitimate channels. They were all made by the blonde woman relying on her own expertise.

The woman jumped onto the bed, hugged a Q-version pillow designed with the Joker in mind, and murmured to herself, "Lord Joker... You are the Lord who saved me, the god who gave me strength. Ah...Lord Joker."

For a moment, the blonde was immersed in fantasy. But soon, she opened her eyes, placed the pillow in front of the bed, knelt on the bed, and began to face the pillow, closing her eyes and praying devoutly.

……

"Why do I feel like I'm not in a good mood today? Everything feels cold and weird." Wang Chen looked at the time. The whole city was filled with a sense of urgency. The video that circulated on the Internet this morning had already caused a great shock to the Far East citizens who first saw it.

"System, check the current task progress."

"Ding - System prompt, the current Phantom Thieves' fame value has reached 35000 points!! Completed the fourth level of fame! Rewards: 3280 synchronization points, 1 four-star relic set, 1000 purple weapon, 3 purple item. The current fame value has risen to the fourth level, and the achievement Rich People's Panic has been completed, which rewards synchronization points and Valkyrie armors (excluding characters). Please check!"

"System prompts, your current synchronization points are: 10830 + 1000 pending points (Jizi) + 3000 pending points (Walter)."

"Three sets of Valkyrie armor? Open them and take a look." So Wang Chen clicked OK and once again obtained the three familiar armors: White, Scarlet, and Chariot.

"Now we can directly give these things to the three great families in this world to enhance their combat effectiveness. They are all good things."

"Open the others as well. The purple items and the four-star relics... Wait? Relics? I thought they were stigmata. I didn't pay attention to them at the time." Wang Chen looked at the list and was slightly stunned.

Chapter 184: The Moment of Decisive Battle

"Host, do you still need to open all of them?" asked the system.

"Open, of course all of them are open."

"Ding - the following items were obtained: Four-star Relic Set Instructor Set. Purple weapon obtained: a salted fish. Purple item: Grayshu's disposable paintbrush (Note: there is a little bit of the girl's foot fragrance on it)."

“??? The relic set is okay, at least it’s within the normal range and very practical. But what are these two weird things? Especially the last one! What the hell did you write in the notes! Am I that kind of person? Don’t let this end up like this.” Wang Chen severely criticized the system’s imprecise wording.

The system rolled its eyes, and finally responded perfunctorily to Wang Chen's words, watching Wang Chen secretly tidying up the storage space and putting the paintbrush into the deepest part of the space, as if it didn't want anyone to get it.

"As for this salted fish knife..." Wang Chen picked up the salted fish knife, patted his hands, touched the blade, and said, "It feels good, and the blade is very sharp. It's just that the image is really... I always feel that it will be useful somewhere, so I'll put it in the warehouse for now."

"Okay, we've almost finished checking the status of everything. Now we can calculate the time. I think Cocolia has already assembled the troops. Oh, what I said came true."

Wang Chen was seen muttering while turning on his communication device, which showed Bronya who had returned to Anti-Entropy.

"Bronya, what's the situation over there now?" Wang Chen asked.

"The noise we made this time has completely angered Mother Cocolia. In addition, Yasuo Kijima, the biggest supporter of the anti-entropy radicals in the Far East, has begun to put pressure on her. Mother Cocolia is ready to personally take command of the battle and has shifted all her work to destroying the Phantom Thieves. Almost all the manpower in each base has been withdrawn, and now only a small number of teams that control the Anti-Entropy Titans are left in the Honkai Furnaces. The bases rely entirely on Titans to patrol." Bronya said.

"Wow? To come in person? That's really an honor." After talking about Cocolia, Wang Chen continued to ask: "Although the conditions for invasion have been met, I still need to add fuel to the fire. By the way, how is the situation over there with Thunder Dragon Horse?"

"We are currently preparing to transfer Raiden Ryuma. He was originally imprisoned in the official prison of Changkong City and his freedom was restricted as a special criminal. However, now Yasuo Kijima suspects that someone wants to use the suspicious points of Raiden Ryuma's economic case to target him, so he is preparing to transfer Raiden Ryuma to the main base where Cocolia's mother is."

"Even he himself arrived at the base of Mother Cocolia early. As a result, the court cannot summon the criminal Raiden Ryoma and the suspect Kijima Yasuo to the court for the time being, making it impossible to proceed with the overturning of the case. They are preparing to delay time until Mother Cocolia can deal with the problem of the Phantom Thieves."

Bronya explained.

"The old fox has a pretty good plan. But this does give us an opportunity. A reasonable chance to add fuel to the fire." Wang Chen thought for a moment, then stood up and walked towards the combat preparation center in the base.

"Captain Wang Chen, are you planning to take action now and intercept Raiden Ryoma?" Bronya asked.

"If we don't take action now, when will we? Originally, I thought I had to at least get to Cocolia to rescue Thunder Dragon Horse. Now that we have such an opportunity, it would be a waste not to take it." Wang Chen said.

"Okay, Bronya will mark the location of Raiden Ryoma later." Bronya said.

Wang Chen nodded, then hung up the call and entered the combat preparation center of the northern base of Tianming City. At this moment, Jizi and Theresa were inspecting the equipment and status of the Valkyrie combat troops. Then Kiana and others also stood here and changed into the special uniforms of the Phantom Thieves, ready to set off at any time.

"Captain Wang Chen, the troops have been assembled. When are you ready to set off?" Theresa asked after seeing Wang Chen arriving.

"It's fine now, but the original plan has to be changed a little. Mei and Scarlet, you and I will attack first. The others will split into three groups as planned. Principal Theresa, you take Kiana, Xiao Qi, and the Radiant Team to protect Mr. Houraiji's safety together with the soon-to-be-joined Jiuxiao."

"Then Alexandra and Brownie, following Ji Zi Fu Hua and others, invaded the remaining eight bases of Anti-Entropy in Changkong City and took control of the Honkai Furnace." Wang Chen said.

So Raiden Mei and Mei came to Wang Chen and followed him. Theresa took Kiana and her sister and the Glow Team to the car, ready to go to the Houraiji home, escorting Houraiji Kyouhei all the way. As for Alexandra, the reborn Bronya, she brought her clone Brownie to join the teams led by Jizi and Fu Hua, ready to invade the base.

Everyone was mobilized at once. They knew that this was a crucial battle. Whether or not Cocolia could be stopped depended on this final anti-entropy action.

Wang Chen took Raiden Mei and [Mei] to a very low-key van that was completely different from the previous one. Raiden Mei and [Mei] sat in the back seat, and Wang Chen naturally sat in the driver's seat, started the car and drove away from the Chengbei Tianming temporary base. On the way, Wang Chen informed the two people, mainly about Raiden Mei's current actions.

Now they were going to kidnap Raiden Ryoma. After hearing the goal of the operation, Raiden Mei was immediately delighted and even a little impatient. She had finally waited for the day to rescue her father and meet him again.

However, after driving a long distance, Wang Chen stopped the car again, as if waiting for something, so Raiden Mei couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Wang Chen, where are we now?"

"Oh, wait for someone and get in the car with us later." Wang Chen signaled Meiyi not to be anxious. Suddenly, he heard the passenger door being opened. A brown-haired man who looked somewhat familiar entered the car, sat in the passenger seat, and fastened his seat belt very quickly.

"Hey, who is this?" Raiden Mei asked, thinking that the person looked familiar.

"Old Yang, have you forgotten? We met once before at the special training site." Wang Chen started the van again and drove towards the target that Bronya was positioning in real time. The person sitting in the passenger seat was naturally Walter Yang, who was called by Wang Chen to participate in this operation.

"Ah, it's Mr. Yang. I'm sorry. I only met you once, so I don't have much impression of you." Raiden Mei responded politely, "So, Mr. Yang, are you here to help rescue my father as well? Thank you so much."

"It's not that I'm being reserved. Rather, I shouldn't be thanked. Instead, I should apologize to you." Walter Yang said slowly.

"Apologize?" Mei Raiden asked with some confusion.

"Old Yang, there is no one with destiny here, so I should be able to introduce your identity to you," Wang Chen asked.

"Yeah." Walter Yang nodded and said.

"Mei, the person in front of you is your father's real boss. The leader of Anti-Entropy, his name is Walter Yang."

“Eh…? Eh!!”
