I am in the abyss of Collapse

Luo Lin looked at Dr. Miriam who was following beside her. She had short golden hair, a cool and proud temperament, and a convincing charm in her conversation - especially the last point, which made the girl have a bad guess.

Could this person be Otto in disguise?

You know, Otto might be a little vague about small things, but he basically pays close attention to the big things related to his plans.

Siegfried and K423 are major events related to the plan, so it is very possible that they will create a Soul Steel clone to come and take a look.

Thinking of this, Luo Lin became a little stiff. She carefully controlled her emotions, led the blond scientist to the guest room, and completed the relevant procedures at a very fast speed.

"...?"

Dr. Miriam was completely confused, but it was a good thing that this Valkyrie was so efficient. She washed up with peace of mind and went to bed to rest.

The Valkyries quickly installed the Honkai energy detection device at the designated location, and about a week later, the doctor and her research team made a discovery.

Dr. Miriam scratched her head, looking exhausted. She walked into the combat meeting room with a pile of reports and said to everyone waiting: "Your previous speculation makes sense. The data collected in the past few days found that the background radiation of Honkai energy near the detector has been fluctuating, but it is generally showing an upward trend..."

Seeing the bewildered looks on the Valkyries' faces, Miriam realized that she was not in Tianming's scientific research institute now, and some of the things she said might not be understood by everyone.

"Well, in short, I can confirm that there is a source of Honkai in this area, but I don't know whether it is one or multiple sources of Honkai at work... We need more detailed data before we can draw a conclusion."

"So you're just going to stay where you are?"

"No, we've done some calculations... We need to send some people with smaller instruments that have higher detection accuracy to these places and stay there for a few days. For the sake of convenience, I've placed the locations in towns as much as possible. Even if the Valkyries are hardworking, it's not a big deal for them to be blown by the cold wind in the winter, right?"

Miriam marked a dozen points on the map, scattered sparsely over a large area.

Ragnar said awkwardly, "Well... Doctor, we appreciate your kindness, but it might be better if you arranged for us to go to the wilderness... After all, there are anti-entropic spies active nearby, and the intelligence department does not recommend us to go out. If action team members like us go out, we may alert the enemy..."

The blond doctor had messy hair and a dull look on his face: "So, all the calculations this week were in vain?"

"No, it's not in vain. It's just that the operations in this area require the cooperation of the intelligence department..."

Soon, the head of the intelligence department was called over. He looked at the locations marked on the map and stroked his beard. "Hiss, so many locations that need to be explored? We don't have enough manpower..."

He explained with an embarrassed look on his face: "We are still tracking down clues of the anti-entropy espionage activities. The operators on standby can only cover a part of the points you requested... It is probably too late to transfer personnel from the intelligence departments of other branches at this time, and such a transfer itself may expose our existence and affect other operations."

The intelligence director asked, "Doctor, can you reduce some of the detection nodes a little?"

Miriam said with difficulty: "No, it's not that I don't want to recalculate, but if there are less than so many detection points, the measured data will not be accurate..."

Listening to the conversation between the doctor and the intelligence chief, Ragnar asked, "Can we pick some less important nodes for our people to go to?"

"This……"

The intelligence chief gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid this is the only way. Captain Ragnar, please select the right team members to help..."

"Luo Lin, you must go. You are the only Valkyrie majoring in intelligence in the entire Valkyrie team. By the way, count the other people in the team who have studied intelligence." Ragnar said almost without thinking, "See who has the best grades among them and rank them for me. Then send the list to me, and I will decide who will go based on their usual situation."

"Yes!"

Soon, the Valkyrie Stormtroopers gathered the necessary personnel, obtained the required equipment, and prepared to set off under the guidance of the intelligence chief.

"Don't act rashly, just complete your mission. Of course, the most important thing is to ensure your own safety. Do you understand?"

The Valkyries shouted in unison, "Yes!"

Not far away, the intelligence chief was holding a tablet and assigning tasks to the Valkyries who were about to set off, reminding them of precautions with a serious expression.

Dr. Miriam took out a box and handed them a rectangular object that looked like a 1.5-liter milk carton. It was a portable high-precision collapse detector. As long as they carried it with them, it would regularly send data to the Belarus branch.

Before leaving, Ragnar stopped Luo Lin and told her, "Although this mission is in line with your expertise, this is your first field mission. Don't seek credit but avoid mistakes - protect yourself!"

"I know! Captain!"

Volume 31: Charging towards Kongli in the snowy field: Chapter Chapter : The white-haired ball and the man who can launch an awesome attack!

The white-haired girl lay on the windowsill and looked out the window. The heavy snow covered everything with a thick white blanket.

Such weather might be a surprise to those who have never seen it, but the girl faces this kind of scenery almost every day and is a little tired of it.

She turned around and looked at the various toys placed in the room - furry teddy bears, soft pillows, wooden soldiers that could travel far as long as the springs were wound up, and even toy four-wheel drive cars and matching tracks.

These are just the tip of the iceberg of toys, and there are many more unopened boxes piled up in the corners of the room.

The girl remembered clearly everything in the box because she had asked for them herself, and her father quickly brought home what she wanted.

But...what she really wants is not toys, but her father's company.

The lights of cars gradually lit up in the snow and wind, gradually approaching the village.

The girl grasped the window with both hands and became very emotional - was her father coming back?

Soon, the car drove into the village. Under the bright street lights, the white-haired girl could see the appearance of the vehicle clearly. It was an off-road vehicle.

Her dad drives an SUV too!

The girl climbed onto the windowsill, stared with her eyes wide open at the figure getting out of the car.

——That’s not dad.

A girl in a bulky down jacket jumped out of the car, walked laboriously in the snow, and disappeared around the corner of the street carrying her luggage.

"Dad...when will you come back..."

The white-haired girl leaned against the living room wall in disappointment, and grabbed the teddy bear next to her and hugged it in her arms.

"Little Bear, Little Bear, can you tell me when Daddy will come back? Will he be hurt again this time?"

The teddy bear's black eyes reflected the light from the fireplace, and it was silent.

"Ugh……"

The girl hugged the bear tightly and closed her eyes.

Her name was Kiana Kaslana. Her father told her that she was born into the Kaslana family and her mother died when she was two years old.

Later, the father left his family and brought the girl to live in this remote village.

This wait lasted for a very long time...

During this period, her father had been secretly clearing out the Honkai beasts in this area. Kiana also knew about this. Even a year ago, Siegfried was briefly unconscious due to his injuries.

It is not known whether it was lucky or unfortunate, but when Siegfried was unconscious, Kiana mustered up the courage to go out and clean up the Honkai beasts on behalf of her father. Although she failed, she was saved by Siegfried who came after waking up...

Then, she finally learned her name: Kiana Kaslana.

After this incident, Kiana felt that Siegfried's attitude towards her had subtly changed... Of course, it seemed that her father was not very good at expressing his love and affection.

The girl looked at herself in the mirror, her young face full of confusion and anxiety. She stretched out her hand and her fingers touched the cold mirror.

"Hey☆Hey☆~ How long do you want to stay with your murderer?"

The girl in the mirror smiled strangely, her golden eyes stared at her, and her hair gradually turned purple.

"Wake up, wake up!"

The white-haired girl suddenly opened her eyes and saw her father's concerned look.

"Dad! I'm so worried about you!"

She threw herself into the warm and solid embrace, her nose filled with a familiar smell——

It was a mixture of gunpowder residue, blood and ointment, a smell unique to my father.

The girl buried her head in her father's chest, unable to see his complicated face.

The man's hands trembled slightly, but he finally held the girl in his arms.

"Don't be afraid, Kiana, Daddy is right beside you..."

Siegfried Kaslana whispered comfort to the girl until she fell asleep in his arms.

The man stood up holding the girl, put her on the warm bed in the bedroom, and gently covered her with a blanket.

"...Good night, child."

Siegfried left the room quietly and closed the door carefully.

His face darkened and he quickly walked to the window where the girl was lying and looking out. He slightly lifted the curtain and stared at the SUV not far away.

"…Local license plate?"

Siegfried narrowed his eyes. Judging from the scratches and wear on the car, it was not a new car, but had been around for quite some time - it had not been maintained particularly well, but it was still drivable.

Kind of like a rental car.

Siegfried stroked his stubbled chin and fell into deep thought.

"Child, I don't recommend you rent this house..."

Luo Lin asked in surprise: "Grandma Dalia, is there something wrong with this house?"

"The house is a good house, but the neighbors are not good neighbors!" Grandma Dalia poured Luo Lin a cup of hot tea and said, "It's a single-parent family, a man with a girl. I don't know what the man does all day long. He just leaves his child at home and doesn't care about her..."

"What a poor child! I once took care of her. One of her eyes was also defective, and she couldn't see clearly... But her father was simply insane! He kicked me out when he saw me with her!"

"Ah, this... maybe that's what people are worried about?"

"Bah, he doesn't care about his daughter at all! What a lovely girl, so sensible, she greets us when she sees us on the street, and helps the villagers... Everyone also takes good care of her."

The old man looked very indignant: "He was like a firecracker, he would explode at any time. Anyone who talked to him would end up quarreling. In the end, it was his daughter who ran out to stop him... He was also a drunkard, making noise all day long! His neighbors couldn't stand this and soon moved away!"

"Oh, this is why the rent is so cheap..."

"Luo Lin, I think you are a good kid. Grandma opened this small shop and a hotel part-time just to find something to do... You are a guest, but you are busy doing all the work. Why don't you just live with grandma? Grandma will charge less, which is cheaper than renting a whole house..."

Luo Lin scratched his head and said, "Grandma Dalia, I'm a painter. I came here to take pictures... Paints have a strong smell and are not good for the body... And in a profession like mine, sometimes inspiration comes and I won't rest all night, and I have to make some noise..."

"Grandma, I appreciate your kindness, but it's really not appropriate to live here..."

"Oh, I'm old. If I were thirty years younger, I would definitely let you stay..." Grandma Dalia sighed and said, "Oh, artist, child, I also wanted to be an artist when I was young... I like bright red skirts and sunflowers..."

Luo Lin listened carefully to the old man's words, occasionally joining in the conversation, skillfully bringing up topics, and outlining a model of this remote town from his words.

After all, intelligence comes from details.

The girl came to this small town as a freelance painter for the purpose of taking pictures. Although she didn't know what beautiful scenery there was in such a remote place, it was still a reason.

After all, artists always think differently from ordinary people. It is strange but not uncommon for them to want to go to an unknown area to find inspiration without any warning.

The Tianming Intelligence Department quickly determined the relevant background based on Luo Lin's role and produced a large amount of relevant information.

Now she is a painter named "Luo Lin". If you check it online, you can not only find her academic qualifications and medical insurance policy, but also see her "works" on certain art websites. Of course, the selling price is cheaper.

It really is destiny.

While she was analyzing the information in Grandma Dalia's words and drinking hot tea, the door of the shop was opened -

A white-haired man reeking of alcohol walked into the store. Although he looked like he was walking unsteadily, his pupils were extremely clear. It was obvious that he was pretending to be drunk, and there was an unconcealable sharpness in his eyes.

As his eyes focused on Luo Lin, a huge sense of threat surged into her heart, causing the girl to tremble uncontrollably.

Moreover, the keen perception brought by practicing Taixu Sword Qi told Luo Lin that although this man looked ordinary, there was a huge power hidden in his body.

That is an absurdly strong Honkai energy!

Luo Lin was startled and instantly realized the other person's identity. She forced herself to stop tensing up and maintain the appearance of a weak painter to avoid alerting the other person.

Oh my god, why is Siegfried here! ?

Volume 32: Charge to the Sky Law in the Snowfield: Chapter Chapter Notice

"Who are you?" asked the white-haired man.

Grandma Dalia stood up and stood between Luo Lin and Siegfried. She shouted, "Zero, don't scare her! This is my relative's child, who came back to visit me!"

Zello? Is that the pseudonym Siegfried uses here?

Siegfried staggered, a breath of alcohol gushed out of his mouth, he muttered: "Humph, people outside can't be trusted... No one can be trusted... Maybe she is here to take your property, pretending to be righteous!"

Dahlia's wrinkled face trembled. "Zero! I think your bad temper is one of the reasons why everything has gone so bad!"

"Bad temper? If you encounter the same thing as me and just want to curse at people, you'd be lucky if you didn't go crazy!" Siegfried widened his eyes exaggeratedly.

"You are a man, Zelo! Is that enough?" Dahlia sighed, "Stop feeling sorry for yourself all day long! Look at your own daughter, do you really care about her? "

Luo Lin saw clearly that after hearing these words, Siegfried's body trembled and the veins on his hands throbbed. It was obvious that his secrets had been touched upon.

The white-haired man raised his voice: "Of course I care about her! I will give her any toy she wants!"

"Oh, just toys?!" Dalia snorted, "What she needs most is care and love!"
